Nagata Iron Mountain

After Nagata Tieshan and the ambassador got out of the car, they also saw Yue Peng, Tang Shaoyi and others, who were famous in World War I

Speaking from the heart, when the results of the Battle of Rainyvale came out, he was completely shocked, so he took a train from the British garrison to Rainyvale overnight to inspect with his own eyes tens of thousands of German prisoners of war, a hill of captured supplies, and a tired but spirited and proud Chinese expeditionary force soldier, which made him more and more worried about this future opponent, and after returning to the station, he also repeatedly deduced the entire battle with his assistants, but even the most optimistic result was that he lost 5 divisions, not to mention that this kind of reverse deduction itself has a great problem, because the battle process exists, so if you want to re-select the breakthrough point and deploy, maybe the lost troops will be more

In his opinion, Yue Peng already has all the qualities to become a famous general, so when the two passed by, he also looked deeply a few times before walking to the conference room, Yue Peng also silently read this name, he knew best, to Japan, Yang Qiu and the National Defense Force, he has never really been at ease, the Sino-Japanese war is nothing more than cutting off Japan's hand deep into the mainland, to say that the complete defeat is far from it, especially North Korea is still in the hands of Japan, Taiwan has not been taken back, not to mention that the navy has always been the most worrying thing for all generals of the Republic of China/

After entering the conference room, most of the delegations of various countries had already arrived, and since the preparations for the meeting on the Russian issue had begun before Tang Shaoyi's departure, the countries had been negotiating and waiting for the end of the Russian election. British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, including the Entente statesmen, naturally gained greater recognition after the performance of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Bordeaux after the world-shattering performance in Rainyvale, and in addition, it not only borders Russia, but also has the largest armed forces in Russia, so its position is ranked in front of Belgium, second only to Britain, France, the United States and Italy, and Japan's position is next to Belgium, showing that they have gradually begun to be valued in their attitude towards Russia

The reversal of the poor party completely angered Britain and France, and even the United States, which has never interfered much in Europe, was also very angry this time, President Wilson's attitude towards Russia was very clear, in addition to the consideration of taking the opportunity to increase the influence of the United States, the main thing was that he was worried that the fiasco on the Western Front would lead to the early resignation of himself who promoted the dispatch of troops, and Foch, who had a painful skin, roared that he should immediately organize an expeditionary force to attack Russia from three directions: Murmanks, Vladivostok, and Ili in Xinjiang. In addition to Central Asia and Siberia, Foch also highlighted the Chinese expeditionary force on the Eastern Front, which was in Ukraine and the Urals, and believed that it should immediately march to St. Petersburg, taking advantage of the weak party's foothold to nip it in the bud

Tang Shaoyi didn't expect that at the beginning of the meeting, the biggest card in his hand was pulled out to show the public, only Yue Peng knew that Foch did this, and there was a suspicion of revenge for the revenge that he asked to retreat at the beginning, fortunately, they were also prepared, not to mention that they had discussed it just now, and used the lack of logistics as an excuse, so after asking Gu Weijun to take out detailed information and distribute it to the representatives of various countries, he said: As allies, we are willing to assume greater international responsibilities, but our country's Second Expeditionary Force (Eastern Front Expeditionary Force's external number) is still on the Ukrainian front line, and it is thousands of kilometers to St. Petersburg, which is the current situation report of our army, from November Lenin launched a coup d'état (October RevolutionSince then, the officers and men of our expeditionary force have never received any supplies, food is scarce, ammunition is desperately short, and many times they have asked for help from the Russian Southwestern Front, but there is no news

In fact, the plight of the Second Army, Britain and France are very clear, because since the beginning of the October Revolution, the Second Army has been under the instruction of Yang Qiu, constantly sending telegrams for help, and has also repeatedly asked Wang Zhengting to contact Britain and France to ask for a solution to the logistics problem of the Second Army, Tang Shaoyi also took this opportunity to raise his voice: Of course, these difficulties are only temporary, and we will not forgive them, so we hope to open the Dardanelles Strait as soon as possible and get supplies through Sevastopol, but before that, we must ensure the safety of the soldiers' lives...,

Arthur Balfour, who was also the British Admiralty last year, looked a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded Tang Shaoyi for not opening any pot, mentioning which pot, the Dardanelles Strait has become a sad place for the British Navy, if it can be easily opened, why do you want the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Britain and France can organize a large army to the Northern Expedition by themselves, listening to Tang Shaoyi's tone, he has the idea of withdrawing the army to the country, he naturally does not want to let the 100,000 expeditionary force go back in vain, and asked: Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is your expeditionary force preparing to withdraw to the country

Of course not

After Tang Shaoyi threw out a positive voice, he glanced at Yue Peng, who slowly walked to the side of the big map under the gaze of everyone, his fame is now known to everyone, Yongtian Tieshan always pays attention to his every move, he picked up the whip and placed it in the position of Vinnytsia south of Kyiv: Ladies and gentlemen, I just got a battle report from Vinnitsa before I left, the Caucasian Cavalry Division of the Russian Southwestern Front has defected to the Germans five hours ago, and deliberately opened the defensive line, causing the flank of our Second Army to be completely exposed to German firepower, and the battle is still continuing, but from the preliminary battle report, due to the betrayal of the Russian army, our army was caught off guard, resulting in very huge casualties, and the troops have been seriously short of ammunition, we have asked for help from the neighboring Russian army, but now the German army has launched a full-scale offensive along the South Bug River, we guess that this should be a full-scale offensive of the German army, with the current capabilities of the Russian army, it is completely impossible to resist, once Vinnytsa is lost, it will directly threaten the security of Kyiv, and the whole of Ukraine will fall, so I firstThe Second Army has already begun to move in the direction of Kyiv, considering that it is no longer possible for the poor party to supply us, and it is impossible to ensure that Kyiv is held alone, so they will continue to retreat towards the Urals after arriving in Kyiv

The news brought by Yue Peng made the tension in the conference room a lot thicker, even if Lansing and Belfort, who did not know much about military affairs, understood how dangerous it was for an army whose flanks were exposed to enemy fire, and when it had not been supplied for a month, the Chinese expeditionary force could not block the German attack no matter how much it could fight, once the German army broke through Vinnytsia, the southern gate of Kiev would be completely opened, and the fall of Kyiv would mean the fall of Ukraine, and once the German army occupied the entire Great Plain of Ukraine, its strength would be quickly restored

The expressions of the crowd were taken into Yue Peng's eyes one by one, and he continued: The negotiations between the poor party and Germany are imminent, and we predict that they are likely to reach an agreement in the near future, and once an agreement is reached, the German army will be able to withdraw at least 80 divisions from the eastern front and put them into the western front, so my suggestion is to prevent Ukraine from falling into the hands of Germany, please authorize our army to destroy the main industrial facilities in Ukraine when retreating, so as to prevent them from being used for military purposes by Germany, and at the same time, our army will bear the responsibility of cutting off the Ural passage, cutting off Russia into two parts, and our government will train resistance troops in the Urals, and then from Central Asia after we defeat the German army on the Western Front, the Caucasus and other regions attacked Russia together

By this time, including Foch, they understood that it was completely impossible for the Chinese Expeditionary Force to intervene in Russia in the short term, because they had to protect themselves first, survive from the attack of the German army and the poor party, and it was a pipe dream to quickly intervene before they could open the Dardanelles

The Caucasus, Baku, Central Asia, West Asia, Morsmank, Ukraine, and Crimea are naturally not the turn of other countries, and even the United States has no chance, Britain and France immediately stuffed the above areas into their pockets on the grounds of evacuating expatriates and supporting the opposition in these areas, as for the Ural Mountains region, even if other countries want to get involved, they must first persuade China, which has nearly 100,000 troops after withdrawing from Ukraine, and when it was assigned to the most critical Far East, Nagata Tetsuyama stood up abruptly

The betrayal of Russia and the Poor Party were a golden opportunity for Japan to get closer to the Entente, especially to deepen relations between Japan and Britain, and Nagata Tetsuyama knew that if Japan did not make a move at this time, he would probably become a vassal completely, so he said without even consulting with China: Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese Empire is willing to assume the responsibility of striking at the poor Russian party in the Far East, and our country is ready to send troops and hopes to obtain concessions within 200 kilometers of Vladivostok, Boli, Kitabatai (Sakhalin) and Kamchatka, and the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk...,

Before Nagata Tieshan finished speaking, Wang Zhengting suddenly stood up and glared at each other, saying: Our government cannot accept the Japanese government's decision to send troops to land on the coasts of Vladivostok, Boli and the Sea of Okhotsk, and if this is the case, then our country will not be able to guarantee the security of the Ural region

Even if everyone knows that Japan will inevitably trigger China's opposition, Britain and France are actually willing to see this kind of conflict, after all, an increasingly powerful China is not entirely in their interests, so it is necessary to properly indulge Japan to contain China, but they did not expect to cause such a strong protest, so Brian and Balfour's faces changed slightly, and Lansing and Pershing, who had not spoken, also frowned, staying on Sakhalin and Kamchatka, not knowing what they were thinking

Yue Peng wrinkled his brows even more, because Wang Zhengting's words did not mention Sakhalin, Kamchatka, or even the Sea of Okhotsk, even if it is given to the Republic of China, it is powerless to protect it, but Sakhalin Island is different, he is the lost land of the former Qing Dynasty, the one who does not want to recover his homeland, but just as he was about to remind Wang Zhengting, Yang Du suddenly pulled him: Don't mention Sakhalin

Why did Yue Peng stare at Yang Du in surprise and asked

Yang Du was not afraid, his eyes narrowed, and the audience pointed his finger at Lan Xin and Pershing, who looked displeased, and said with a smile: North Sakhalin has explored 100 million tons (1905 forecast) of oil
