Nicholas II really felt that China was very weak at this time, even weak. Even, not only does he think so, but the Afghans closest to China, and the Kazakhs, they all think so, they think, China?

It's a country that has completely decayed!

That's what they do, and they know that it seems to have changed its name to the Chinese American Pacific Empire, but so what?

Can anything change? It's completely impossible!

The emperor of that empire has only been up for a few years?

Right? It is impossible to change much, China's great empire is already completely decayed, but people are still emaciated camels bigger than horses.

Basically, these small countries in Central Asia, especially Afghanistan, all have this idea, but despite this, they also know that China is in decline, but they don't have the ability to seek anything, and they don't dare to invade.

After all, China is still a 'camel', and these countries have been discovered by the British, who have a great appetite and even chew bones when they eat them.

But now, as soon as Nicholas II came, the situation changed, after all, Nicholas II was a tsar, and the strength of the family was very strong, although the young tsar was ousted by the Bolsheviks, but ...... Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Well, the countries of Central Asia also know very well and know that they are a horse......

Nicholas II still has a lot of material, after all, he turned out to be the tsar, after all, there are many people who are loyal to him, so he can give this gang of Central Asia...... Horses, well, it's better to call it a sling. Because it's really a sling, there's nothing to want.

Long spear, sprint...... These things didn't exist before, and the people of Central Asia were called by this thing, and they used it themselves...... Not at all, but too old. None of the front-loading guns can be popularized......

Nicholas II still has some talents under his hands, and they can also make some firearms simply, in fact, as long as you know the principle of the rear-loading gun, as well as some of the slightly more complex mechanical parts, it is not difficult to imitate the general rear-loading gun at this time.

Yes, a semi-primitive, semi-modern. The huge cavalry was born.

All the way from the west, many of the colonies of the British have been breached, after all, they have just fought a world war, and the god of war is not there, and when they arrive at the border of China, this matter is ......

Everyone thinks that China is in decline, but is it really going to invade this ancient empire?

Nicholas II also hesitated. He knew what his men, and the Afghans who joined later, thought. The bearded men all felt that China was vulnerable. In fact, this is mainly because of the poor news, because Central Asia is considered the West for China, and there are few telegrams in this piece, so how much news from China can come?

Nicholas II knew that Clint. Li I is a masterpiece today. Although Nikolai was arrogant, he heard about Clint . After Li's story, I also think this person is so powerful...... How unbelievable is that a low-level slave worker has become an emperor?

But. If he did not continue to attack China further east, then Nicholas II had a choice, he could stay in Kazakhstan, because it was his territory, but if he did, then ......

Nicholas II himself became an absolute loser!

Nicholas II saw one thing very accurately, and that was that this part of Central Asia could not allow him to rise. The reason is also very simple, that is, at this time, it is still in the Age of Discovery!

Is Central Asia so unbearable?

No, it was once very prosperous, and it used to be a place where the handsome and rich gathered. If nothing else, just look at the various historical sites along the way, what kind of big Buddha, what kind of mosque, what kind of ancient roads, ancient cities...... You can see that this place has been glorious before.

However, this makes it even more certain that you must not stay here!

Yes, all that glory has now fallen, how can the current Nicholas II establish his career here?

In fact, the prosperity of Central Asia is because of a road, and this road is called the Silk Road!

The concept of the Silk Road is actually very new, and Nicholas II is sure that those Afghans or Kazakhs have never heard of this name, because this name is a German scholar named Ferdinand who studied Chinese history in China. The Richthofen guy, who came up in 1877, did not use this name before, although the road was used before.

The Silk Road, of course, is to transport silk, but however, this silk is not an ordinary thing, this thing is a fascinating commodity!

Silk could be used as currency in ancient China, but in Europe, it was more expensive than gold!

In fact, this road existed before Zhang Qian, and it was secretly transported, because the value in it was really unbearable...... These merchants in Central Asia, the Persians, the Arabs, they took the silk to the European market, and they could directly shout ten times the price, and they directly robbed it like crazy, do you say this thing is powerful?

And the most important thing is that at this time, the whole world recognized, or rather, that silk could not be made anywhere else except China!

It's not that no one thought about how good it would be for us to produce our own silk, it's not that no one has tried it, the Persians used to smuggle silkworm eggs...... Well, in the past, the Romans believed that silk was a kind of tree in China, and wool grew on the tree...... The Persians smuggled silkworm eggs secretly in their canes, and they succeeded, but ...... The spun silk is too coarse, and the woven thing is not smooth enough, so it can only be used as a blanket...... Soil and water problems!

So, this product is super powerful, with unique features, and even a powerful presence with a monetary function!

If it was before, then it is also very good to occupy Central Asia, at least by land trade, you can also grow and develop, Nicholas II with the remnants of the Normanov dynasty, the north has its own West Siberian Plain, and the south occupies the Central Asian Silk Road, and it is really possible to become strong again, and then go back to regain the imperial power that you have lost, but now, it can't be!

The Silk Road has declined, and everyone is by sea. And Nicholas II also understood that it was not possible to entrench itself in Western Siberia to the north, because in that case......

It was indeed a plain, but it was too cold, the land was vast but the food was not much, and it was a predominantly agricultural area. And to the west of the Ural Mountains, it is there that Russian industry is concentrated.

In other words, if he went to Western Siberia, then Nicholas II would have to take a group of 'sons', serfs, to fight an industrialized region, and the peasants would fight against a modern armed army, and could this win?

Nicholas II was, after all, a tsar, and he was well aware of many things about his country......

Now it can only be a step to the east. He needed a place where he could grow, and it would be great if he could get silk as a commodity, especially if he could learn how to make it!

It was not that Nicholas II did not know where the silk was made, he knew that he was very far from there, but now, he had no second choice. And, all the things that are going on right now. Then this is the best and most likely path for him to return to Moscow. Although this direction at this time is reversed.

That Clint. Although Li is powerful, it is possible for him to make a country that has declined to the extreme strong in just a few years?

Nicholas II felt that this was completely impossible!

Nicholas II, who at this time had 100,000 soldiers at his disposal, and he also had a group of loyal ministers and a group of men with modern knowledge. No matter how you look at it, his power is much stronger than the declining empire of China, so ......

"Uncle, we follow the Silk Road all the way to the east. You should be able to get silk, right? ”

Riding on a horse and looking at the endless desert Gobi, Nicholas II actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"It must be so! God bless you, my majesty! Nikolaevich could only reply, he also knew how easy it would be to get silk, but it was not ......

Fortunately, the people who were brought in along the way, that stan, this stan, these individuals in Afghanistan, they didn't know how far away the silk was, really, okay, okay.

……

At the same time, Wufeng Lao Dao and Zhang Shijie can only do one thing, and that is strategic contraction.

"Harvest all the crops, take them away if you can, hide them if you can't, bury them, or pour alkaline water on them!"

The old path of the fog wind is also quite detrimental, but it is not ......

"Comrade General, we don't seem to be able to make so much alkaline water...... Zhang Shijie felt that this matter was too nonsense, and the alkaline water was not for nothing.

"Less nonsense!" The fog wind is so angry.

But to talk about the current situation, it would be strange for him to be angry, he really didn't think that there would be a Nicholas II......

Wufeng and Zhang Shijie took the production and construction corps all the way to the east, during which they fought a dozen to delay the opponent's speed, and then won time to grab the grain, and retreated while fighting.

A few months later, it also came to the Yumen Pass......

"Foggy Wind, don't come unharmed!"

"Huh? How are you? ”

Wufeng didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance at Yumen Pass, who was Yang Willy who was punished to study.

"Hehe...... "Yang Willy is still like that, this guy is smiling...... "I said foggy wind, I'm here to help you."

"You, you ......" How did the old man of the fog wind not know this guy Yang Willy, he used to mix with Gao Zhenyu and Song Yulong, known as the 'Long Zhenwei' combination, but in fact, these three guys are what Yang Willy says, and they all listen to this guy anyway.

Now, this guy is here, and he has the right to ...... The old fog wind is not afraid of this is strange.

"Don't be nervous." Of course Yang Willy knows what this fog wind old man thinks, to say, this fog wind is not a person who supports soldiers and is self-respecting, but no one will like their own rights, but someone will point fingers.

"I'm not nervous!" The old way is very tough.

"I'm actually here to be your counselor." Yang Willy explained the intention here, and ah, "It's an appointment from His Majesty the Emperor, and here is the order document......

Fog Wind Old Road This ...... Looking at the document handed over, he didn't understand anything, it must have been His Majesty the Emperor who sent this Yang Weili here, just for fear that something would happen to him.

It's a little bit of a thing......

However, Yang Willy didn't care so much at all, and this guy continued to talk to himself.

"Your Majesty has an order, our Northwest Army must intercept the attack of Tsarist Russia at Yumen Pass!"

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

What the old man didn't say, this is a military order!

However, Yang Weili's words are not finished.

"If you want me to say, these people in Tsarist Russia, we will simply annihilate them at this Yumen Pass!"

"Annihilation?"

This can't make the fog wind not frightened, the appetite is too big! (To be continued.) )
