Of course, the Vladimirs also played a major role in this situation in Russia, and Wilhelm provided them with huge sums of money every year, even in such a tight financial situation, that these people were never lacking in the use of these funds, which were provided by the branches of the People's Bank of Guò in Germany and Russia, and Emperor Yang was well aware of this.

"It's messy, it's messy, only your own people kill your own people is the most ruthless, look at the French back then, our Hongyang Rebellion, which time is not a bloody river, even the most tragic external war, can not be compared with the efficiency of killing each other in the civil war, Russia has a population of 150 million, if they really have a civil war, it is estimated that the back 50 million erase is still very easy." Emperor Yang said with a babbled expression.

In fact, Nikolai was aware of the internal crisis he was facing, and was now working to resolve it, including the establishment of a State Duma and support for Prime Minister Stolypin's land reform, but it was clear that gradual reforms would not satisfy the appetites of careerists. Moreover, his prime minister is also an iron-fisted man, unwilling to compromise with any dissidents, especially in this situation, which can be said to be internal and external, and he is more accustomed to using a noose than dialogue to treat those chaotic parties who in his opinion only want turmoil and do not want Russia, so that the contradictions are difficult to alleviate. Even if his reforms did benefit the country, as long as the careerists did not get the benefits, they would not recognize the benefits of such reforms to the country, and when a bullet ended Stolypin's life, there was no hope for Russia in history.

Neither the mediocre Kokovtsov nor the talented but weak Werther could save the terminally ill Russian Empire, which needed a Ptsarist strongman rather than some democratic freedom.

Of course, this is none of the business of Emperor Yang, he wishes that the Russians would bleed each other internally.

After the continuous influx of arms purchased from China with Chinese loans, Nikolai recruited a million gray cattle in the country, bringing the total strength of the Russian army to a terrifying six million. A total of thirty army groups were formed, and it was obvious that he was preparing to amplify his moves. The whole Entente immediately became excited, as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, until now neither Britain, France nor Italy had the ability to launch another large-scale offensive, the domestic army resources had been exhausted, and in the absence of a breakthrough means, the attackers had to pay several times the casualties of the defenders, which meant that whoever attacked was unlucky.

When the offensive casualties are too large, and the country cannot meet the replenishment of troops, it will be difficult to maintain the original front, so during this time, the two sides are like two splashes shouting and scolding each other on the street, you hit me, you hit me! But none of them left their trenches.

At this time, the power of any front increases dramatically. It means that the balance is broken, and the Americans have played this role in history, but now it is impossible for the Americans, so Russia has to squeeze it with difficulty. In order to help Nikolai arm as many troops as possible, the British also collected the last bit of money at the bottom of the box, and purchased a large number of arms from China, Sweden, and the Confederacy to send them to Russia, one million was not enough. It's going to take two million. It was clear that the entire Entente bloc was going to make a concerted effort this time to deal the final blow to Germany and to end this exhausting war by 1908.

The Entente countries were fiercely armed, and the Allies naturally could not be idle, but unfortunately the gap in the number of people between the two sides was apparent at this time. Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and Portugal combined had a population of nearly 250 million, and although they had lost some territory and population, plus some died, 200 million was still the minimum at this time. The Allies were far behind, and the total number of Deo'Heros and Hehoa was 100 million. And Argentina can't be counted yet, the Netherlands is not yet listless, and it is the main force of 100 million people. The Entente could mobilize another 100 or even 2 million troops, but the Allies really couldn't squeeze out people.

But if you can't squeeze it out, you have to squeeze it, otherwise when the newly formed Russian group army is completed, and then suddenly press over, Germany and Austria will be in danger of collapsing on the whole front, and the two countries will immediately begin to search for those who can go to war in the country.

Just when the two blocs were competing to squeeze their own domestic troops, a shocking news came that China had begun to expand its army, which had always maintained the size of one million army, and now it would expand by two million at one time, expanding the total strength of the army to three million. The meaning of this news is already obvious, China also has to bet, of course, before that, it depends on the outcome of the decisive battle between the two blocs, and then it is certain that whoever wins China will join which side will grab the maximum benefits with the minimum loss.

This is like a whip raised, forcing the two groups to spare no effort.

"China is a peace-loving country, both myself and the Chinese people look forward to the early end of this regrettable war, and we have made some efforts to this end, but unfortunately we have not seen gratifying results so far, although the reasons are many, but our efforts are not enough, so in the next time, the Chinese government will make efforts to end the war in Europe in a more active way." With the solemn statement of Chinese Foreign Minister Zhang Quan, the news of China's imminent entry into the war immediately spread around the world.

"There are no winners in the wars of Europe, because the winners are in the East." At the same time, in a mountain forest in the north of Florence, Italy, the fat man with a pipe and the rank of major was sitting in the tent with a gloomy face listening to the radio broadcast, he was now a battalion commander of the Eleventh Army of the British Army, and the continuous battle for many days had greatly shrunk his originally festive figure, coupled with a full beard, he looked like a frustrated middle-aged uncle.

Of course, he is now a frustrated middle-aged uncle, not only frustrated, but also can be said to be ruined, the Dutch battle made him a joke for the whole of Europe, and the despicable ultimatum at the beginning also made his character a disgrace to the whole family, otherwise he would not have to run to Italy, to put it bluntly, London can no longer tolerate him.

Just as he was saying this to himself, there was a sudden shrill whistling sound, and Major Churchill looked up in astonishment.

"Shelling!" In a series of frightened shouts, a 150-millimeter grenade fired by Austrian artillery hit Major Churchill's tent, and two days later The Times published an inconspicuous news in an inconspicuous corner that former Admiral Winston Murphy was in a nondescript corner. Churchill was killed in an artillery attack in Italy.

Of course, the name of Major Churchill was quickly drowned in the vast list of the dead, except for Emperor Yang in Beijing who sighed after learning the news, and even the upper class of London basically forgot about this name.

Just when Europe was in full swing preparing for the final decisive battle, the Russian army going to the Americas finally arrived at the Panama Canal, although the shareholders of this canal were in the middle of the war, but it did not affect its normal operation, because the employees of various countries were enemies of each other, so after the board of directors, of course, mainly Emperor Yang, all the staff of the Panama Canal were replaced by Chinese, but the annual profits were regularly entered into the accounts of various countries in the People's Bank, and then helped them to become various war materials sent over.

As a neutral company, the Russian army's access to Guò was naturally not subject to any restrictions, and after entering the Caribbean Sea through the Panama Canal, the Russian fleet went straight to Dominica, where it rested and then went directly to Colombia under the escort of four battleships.

At this time, the Colombians were already in good faith, and even the Venezuelan army that came to help the war was also in place, and the 250,000 troops of the two countries faced the Russian colonists, but so far the two sides still did not declare war, which was also a helpless move. Colombia did not dare to declare war, because declaring war would mean that according to the treaty of alliance, they would also become enemies of Britain and France, and in the end they would have to go to the Central Powers, and it would be foolish to bet on either side at this time. On the Russian side, Britain and France pulled to prevent Nikolai from declaring war, because Nikolai's declaration of war was tantamount to pushing Colombia into the arms of Germany, and the Argentine naval fleet was waiting to go north, although the distance was very far, but at this time, the South American countries' feelings towards Russia were not good, and Brazil would definitely do its best to help the Argentines go north, and the British and German fleets in the Caribbean really couldn't beat their two battleships and two heavy cruisers.

As the Russian fleet passed through the waters south of Jamaica, the commander of the army, Vice Admiral Sablin, welcomed his old friend.

"Ah, Chen, what good things did you bring me this time?" Sablin looked at Chen Wenqing, who boarded the battleship, and the merchant ship behind him, and said, as the Russian governor in Colombia, he and Mr. Jinyuan South America Branch General Manager are also confidants.

"It's nothing, your country's War Department has ordered a batch of urgently needed weapons for you in China, I'm afraid that it will delay your use, so I simply asked the relationship to get you a batch from the logistics department of the Jinzhou Military Region, how about it, my friend is good enough, right?" Chen Wenqing said with a smile.

"What's good?" Sablin asked.

Chen Wenqing took a cigar in his mouth and spit out a puff of cigarette with some triumph.

"Mustard gas?" Sablin's eyes lit up, although this thing was the standard equipment of the Russian Army, but because it needed to supply the European battlefield, neither his American Army nor the original Japanese troops who had come from the reinforcements were equipped with it, and he had asked the Colombians to rush back to Dominica from Medellín, and it was because there was no such thing.

Chen Wenqing smiled and nodded.

"How much?" Sablin then asked.

"One hundred tons, half of the 150 mortar PAO shells, half of the 105 howitzer shells, and I will also get you an additional twenty sets of flamethrowers, and this is only the first batch, and it will be delivered in half a month after the follow-up is sent from China." Chen Wenqing said. (To be continued......)
