Tsar Nicholas II has been aggrieved, since he succeeded to the throne, he can be said to be hardworking, full of ambition, and even took the initiative to take out funds from the tsar's treasury to develop Russian armaments, Nicholas II's ideal is to turn the Russian Empire into the most powerful country in the world, but unfortunately he was unlucky, met the demonic Lin Daxin, and launched two wars against the ancient empire in the East, all of which ended in fiasco.

The powerful Russian Empire not only lost troops in two wars, lost a large number of army and navy, but also lost more than 15 million square kilometers of land.

However, after the last war between the Eight-Nation Alliance and Lin Daxin, Lin Daxin overthrew the original Qing Empire and established a huge empire with a vast territory, hundreds of millions of people, and strong military strength, and this huge Chinese Empire, in terms of military strength, has even dominated the whole world in the past few years, which makes Russia, which was seriously injured in the last war, can only honestly recuperate in the past few years, burying the bitter hatred that is deeper than the sea and higher than the sky in the bottom of his heart, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

In recent years, Russia has also been immersed in hard work, and the strength of the army and navy has been restored, which is stronger than the Russian army and navy before the war, and even conforms to the pulse of the times and established Russia's own air force, but these are still weak in the face of today's powerful Chinese Empire.

However, this time, the conflict between the two countries on the border of Novosibirsk, and the conflict after the conflict, the attitude of the Chinese Empire was very tough. It was apparently the soldiers of the Chinese Empire who first shot and killed 1 Russian soldier patrolling the Russian border, but the Chinese Empire reversed black and white. The false accusation that the Russian soldiers shot first, which made Tsar Nicholas II a little unbearable. Prepare to rise up again and wrestle with the Chinese Empire again.

For this reason, the expansion plan of the Russian Army, that is, the formation of four new army groups, has accelerated the pace of preparation a lot, all in preparation for a new war with the Chinese Empire. As for Russia's navy and air force, there are no major moves, mainly because Russia, except for the army known as the European steamroller, the gap between the other two arms and the Chinese Empire is too large, and they just want to strengthen it. It is better than nothing, it is useless, and the war between Russia and the Chinese Empire is basically a land battle, and Tsar Nicholas II can only bet all his bets on the Russian army.

There is a long border between the Chinese Empire and Russia, and both sides have hoarded a large number of troops on the border, and now this conflict broke out on the border line, which suddenly brought the army units on the respective borders of the two countries into a state of combat readiness, and the air force units deployed by the Chinese Empire on the border between the two sides. It has also entered a state of combat readiness.

Russia also has more than 100 fighters on the border between the two sides, some of which are imported from Britain and France, and their performance is much weaker than the improved Yellow Bird fighters and improved Blue Eagle bombers equipped by the Chinese Empire, and the other part is made by the Russians themselves. The maximum flight speed is less than 80 kilometers per hour, and there is simply no way to compare with those advanced fighters of the Chinese Empire. Although at this time the fighters on the Russian border were also in a state of combat readiness, the Russians understood it in their hearts. If there is really a fight, there is no need for your own air force. It is better to count on the large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns equipped with the army, which are much more reliable than those fighters of the Russian Air Force.

Since the war a few years ago, after the fighters of the Northeast Air Force under Lin Daxin came out, all countries in the world have not only increased the development and manufacture of fighters and bombers, but have also invested a lot of energy in the development of air defense weapons.

The border conflict between the Chinese Empire and Russia attracted the attention of all countries in the world at once, and at the British Prime Minister's official residence at 10 Downing Street in London, England, British Prime Minister Henry ? Campbell? Banervin met with the British War Secretary Henry Wiley, the Admiral Fisher, and the Foreign Minister Marquis Lansdowne to discuss the situation.

British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin said in a deep voice: "You all know this conflict on the border between Russia and the Chinese Empire, according to our intelligence, now the troops on both sides of the border have entered a state of combat readiness, and a new war is about to break out, but if war really breaks out, as an ally of the Entente, how should we Britain deal with ourselves?" What do you think? ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, said: "The cause of this conflict, according to various intelligence, was completely an accident, because the rifle of a Chinese Imperial soldier went off and hit a Russian soldier on patrol on the other side of the Ob River, resulting in the death of the Russian soldier on the spot, which caused this conflict between the two sides, but the Chinese Empire had a tough attitude towards this conflict and demanded that Russia must take full responsibility for this border conflict, which made our Tsar very angry, and now he has begun to rearm the army, If you don't get it, there will really be another Sino-Russian war! ”

After a pause, the Marquis of Lansdowne continued: "On top of the most recently signed treaty, the three countries of our Entente countries have excluded the Chinese Empire from the list of common precautions, that is, they are afraid that Russia and the Chinese Empire will break out again and implicate us Britain, so I think that if another war breaks out between China and Russia, we Britain would better choose to stand by and watch, not to be dragged into the quagmire of this war by Russia, the strength of the Chinese Empire, I believe that all the gentlemen here know, and we are also because of this, So far, Japan has not agreed to Japan's request to join the Entente. ”

British War Secretary Henry Willy frowned and said: "But if Russia does not get the support of our Britain and France, then the probability of Russia's defeat again is very high, then not only will the strength of our Entente countries drop suddenly, but the balance of strength between us and the Allies will be reversed, and the power to contain the Chinese Empire will also be weakened a lot, which will be disastrous for us Britain." Therefore, we must not ignore Russia. ”

The Marquis of Lansdowne shook his head and said, "But if we England and France are dragged into the war with the Chinese Empire. Then this war, regardless of the final victory or defeat, will be a protracted war. Then the Allies, as spectators, will not benefit from the fishermen, and if after our war with the Chinese Empire is over, the Allies will go to war against our Entente, it will be terrible! ”

Admiral Fischer said: "This problem is really too difficult to solve, we don't care if Russia is not good, and it is not appropriate to help Russia, I don't know if we can persuade the Russian tsar to calm down and not to act rashly." With the power of Russia, the odds of winning a war with the current Chinese Empire are really pitiful. ”

British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin sighed and said: "I have sent 2 telegrams to the Russian tsar in my personal name, persuading him to exercise some restraint, but now it seems that the effect is not great, the Russian tsar seems to be really unable to hold his breath this time, there are signs of stumbling with the Chinese Empire, and I contacted President Loubet of France by telegram." President Lubet also sent a telegram to the Russian Tsar urging him to calm down, but it was still not very effective. But President Loubet and I have come to an agreement that if war breaks out between Russia and the Chinese Empire, we in England and France will be in lockstep. It's just that the current situation is a bit difficult for both of us, Britain and France. ”

British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? After Banervan's words were spoken, several British bigwigs fell into deep thought, if a war broke out between Russia and the Chinese Empire. Britain's choice may determine the future fate of Britain, and it must be carefully and carefully refused.

The four were silent for a moment. The Marquis of Lansdowne suddenly sighed and said: "If war breaks out between Russia and the Chinese Empire, it would be good that we, Britain and France, and the Central Powers, could support Russia." So we don't have to worry about it, and the Chinese Empire must not have the same good luck as it did a few years ago! ”

British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Of course, that's the best situation, but with the current relationship between our Entente and the Allies, it's simply too difficult, and even God may not be able to let the contradictory Entente and the Allied Powers fight side by side again!" ”

The British are really entangled, and the four bigwigs of the British military and political circles discussed for a long time in the prime minister's office of the official residence, but they did not come up with any good ideas, if a war broke out between Russia and the Chinese Empire, would they help Russia or not, and if they helped Russia, to what extent.

In the Elysee Palace in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France, French President Lubet, like the British Prime Minister, found his two henchmen, who are also the two bigwigs in the army, the Minister of the Admiralty Gomis and the Minister of the War Jeannontro, into his office.

President Lubet said to the two: "This conflict between Russia and the Chinese Empire on the border is likely to turn into a war, and if that is the case, we in the French Republic must make a choice whether to stand with Russia and face the evil enemy of the Chinese Empire." ”

The Minister of the Admiralty, Gomis, frowned and said, "Could it be that the Tsar of Russia really doesn't know the difference in strength between Russia and the Chinese Empire?" If war breaks out between the two countries, and Russia sees little hope of victory, is the Russian tsar counting on us, France and England, to lend a helping hand to him? In that case, it is tantamount to dragging our France and Britain into a bottomless quagmire of war, and the strength of our entire Entente will be greatly weakened, that is, relying on our three countries, Britain, France, and Russia, to defeat the Chinese Empire, then what should the Allies who have been watching from the sidelines do? ”

The Minister of the Admiralty, Gomis, had a series of questions, which showed the entanglement in the hearts of the three people, and President Lubet said with a wry smile: "This is definitely a dilemma, if you stand with the Russians, there will be another war with the powerful Chinese Empire, if Russia is left alone, then all the investment we have been investing in Russia will be in vain, and the strength of the Entente will also be weakened, and there will be no advantage in the face of the Allies, and it may even be at a disadvantage." ”

In recent years, France, like Britain, has carried out a lot of assistance to Russia and Japan around the Chinese Empire, especially Russia, which has received more French aid, and the aid to Japan is purely to bury a hidden danger around the Chinese Empire.

President Lube thought about it for a moment and asked the two military bigwigs in the office: "If in the end, our Britain, France and Russia go to war with the Chinese Empire, what are the chances of our entire Entente country winning?" ”

The Minister of War Jeannontro said: "At present, the number of our entire French standing army has 2.3 million, which is only ranked fourth in the world after the Chinese Empire, Russia, and Germany in terms of strength, while the number of the British standing army is closely behind our French army, with a total strength of 2.1 million, so that counting the Russian army, it is almost twice as much as the royal army of the Chinese Empire in terms of strength. Pooling all the forces and using them may have some advantages in the early stages of the war, but don't forget the terrifying population of the Chinese Empire, if the war continues, the number of troops that the Chinese Empire can mobilize in the end will definitely exceed the combined strength of our three countries, Britain, France, and Russia, and I am not optimistic about the prospect of the Entente eventually breaking out into war with the Chinese Empire. ”

Minister of the Admiralty Gomis said optimistically: "The situation of the navy is much better, if the naval warships of our three countries are concentrated, they far surpass the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in terms of strength, if we can fight a decisive battle on the sea, the victory of the naval battle will definitely belong to our Entente, but the strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is there after all, even if it is finally won, the process will not be so easy." ”

President Lubet sighed and said: "Now it is not only a question of whether to help Russia, but also a question of whether our Entente can achieve the final victory after helping Russia. (To be continued......)
