The Colombians are shrewd and risky, but it's well worth the harvest, and their main target is actually Antioquia, the world's largest plantation of millet and coque, which is undoubtedly a maddening puzzle for a country that has no industry and can only survive on the export of fruit, coffee, and sugar.

Although the market for DU products in Europe has shrunk significantly in recent years as the war has progressed, it has also made the supply of FEI in short supply, and the factory in Mexico is operating at full capacity to alleviate the suffering of tens of millions of wounded soldiers in Europe, and the Russians are making astonishing profits every year by virtue of their control of the province of Antioquia, which should have been Colombian.

It is precisely because of this that after the declaration of the resumption of the concession in Colombia, the reaction of the Russians was extremely strong, and even the Russian garrison in Colombia put up a resolute resistance, but soon they were overwhelmed by the surging Colombians, and the Russian governor in Northern Colombia fled to Dominica in a hurry with the remnants of the defeated army, and then the Russian American fleet sailed over, and then shelled the Colombian coast, sinking all the Colombian ships it encountered to the bottom of the sea, and announced the blockade of Colombian ports.

But this doesn't mean much to Colombia, it's a big deal that they export goods from Pacific ports, and Russia can only intercept merchant ships flying the Colombian flag, and now those who run Colombia, how many of them fly the Colombian flag, are China, the United States, Mexico, and the Confederacy, and now these four are not something that the Russian American fleet can provoke even if the United States is.

Compared to the Russian reaction, the Germans were much calmer, and the German troops and German officials in Barranquilla withdrew to Haiti directly before the Colombians arrived, without any clash between the two sides, and the German government did not comment on it afterwards. It was clear that Germany did not want to add another enemy to itself, and that the Colombian colonies were nothing more than a small tax revenue every year, and that the Colombians were not going to touch the interests of the German businessmen there.

This also put the Russians in an extremely embarrassing situation, it is obvious that if they continue to confront Colombia, it is easy to kick this country into the arms of Germany, but if they learn from Germany, the face problem is a trivial matter, but the loss of trade profits is real. Now Russia's finances are on the verge of bankruptcy. Relying on the queen to sleep with people to pull loans to maintain the war, the Baku oil field was not producing smoothly because of the problem of the chaotic party, there was originally a military suppression, and after the army went to the front, there was no suppression, and those messy guys immediately popped up, and the daily strikes continued to make it impossible to produce normally. The rebellion in the Philippines has intensified, rubber production has deteriorated, and China has begun to produce synthetic rubber, and prices have not risen. The only surest source of income now was the trade of goods, and the absence of the colony of Colombia would make Russia's financial problems worse.

Although at this time both Britain and France were opposed, especially the British were resolutely opposed. But Nikolai still decided to defend his money bag by force, just as the original Japanese garrison withdrew from Hokkaido and Aomori, and 50,000 people were drawn from this army, plus the Russian troops withdrawn from Colombia to Dominica. The original Dominican garrison, which adds up to nearly 80,000 people, is enough to teach Colombians a lesson.

After all, this little ant is completely worthless in his eyes. casually transfer people to the past and crush to death, although Russia is now a little nervous about troops, but this tension is not because there is no one, but because there is no money to arm, and the gray cattle are not there, if you don't keep the colony of Colombia, he will have no money, so he has to fight, but considering that the Colombians did not declare war on Russia, he also did not declare war on Colombia, so 50,000 Russian troops took a merchant ship hired from China and went directly to the Americas to defend the dignity of the Russian Empire.

At the same time, two battleships and two armored cruisers of the Russian Pacific Fleet, which has basically nothing to do, and four protective cruisers are also heading for the Americas, although these battleships actually have no naval combat capabilities, but they are pulled out to scare the Colombians who do not have any navy, and by the way it is still very easy to provide artillery support for the army, anyway, they have nothing to do in the Philippines, and several German cruisers and destroyers under the fox are not out of the Bohol Sea at all, and they can't fight if they want to, Besides, there is still the British Far East Fleet watching there!

The reaction of the Russians made the Colombians dumbfounded, originally they did this, they did not expect that Russia would send troops immediately, in their opinion, the Russian army, which is now deep in the two battlefields of Europe and Asia, it is impossible for the surplus army to teach them a lesson immediately, while marveling at the huge size of the Russian war plane, the Colombians also know that they have no way to retreat, and can only wait to meet the enemy.

Fortunately, the Russians' move has also aroused the vigilance of other South American countries, and they have reached such a point that the Russians are still unwilling to give up the colony of Colombia, which shows how greedy these guys are, and if they do not take advantage of the time when they have the most time to take care of them to completely cut off their claws stretched out to South America, other countries will inevitably become their targets in the future, driven by this thought, Venezuela first announced that it will send troops to help Colombia maintain the integrity of its country.

Several other South American countries also expressed their solidarity with the Colombians, and Argentina, which had already joined the Central Powers, even openly stated that if Colombia was willing to join the Central Powers, then the Argentine Navy would go north to help them fight Russia. It should be said that this condition is very tempting, at this time the main force of the Russian Navy in South America, there are only two old diesel battleships, although Nikolai originally ambitiously proposed a plan for the construction of more than thirty perfect battleships, but in fact a total of twelve have been built so far, exactly six for the Baltic Fleet, six for the Black Sea Fleet, not even the Pacific Fleet, let alone the American Fleet.

With the current strength of the Argentine Navy, the Russian American fleet can be easily extinguished.

However, although the conditions are good, the Colombians do not have the courage to agree, they still have a good relationship with Britain and France, and even want Britain and France to ask for help to mediate, and Britain and France are indeed helping them, but this time Nikolai is determined to crush this little ant who dares to provoke his majesty, no matter how persuaded by Britain and France, he is resolutely unwilling to change his order, so Britain and France are also helpless.

"I still persuade you, I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade Nikolai at this time." Emperor Yang in Beijing was very disdainful of the naivety of the British and French, and others did not know how much profit the Russians siphoned off the columbian plantations every year, but he was well aware of the control of the intermediate manufacturing link of the Du goods trade.

Together with the legal industry and the illegal heroin and cocayin, the income of the Russians in terms of raw material supply last year was a full 300 million Chinese dollars in Chinese dollars, which is not even inferior to a large oil field at present. Considering their cruel exploitation of the plantation coolies, most of this huge amount of money went into the pockets of the Russians, even if his people were very greedy, Nikolai could at least 100 million, and it would not be a problem to build two battleships, so it can be said that the plantations in Colombia have become the backbone of his finances.

The Colombian is stabbing him in the heart, and it would be strange if Nikolai could hold back, speaking of which, all countries, including Britain and France, underestimated the madness of this unruly business, and they could not understand what the trade meant like Yang Feng.

"Your Majesty, do we need to help the Colombians?" Attendant Yuan asked hurriedly.

"No, let the Russians have a good kill, not only us, but also Mexico and the Confederacy, they are also forbidden to help the Colombians, so let the Russian army go and kill openly, the more they kill, the more unbearable the South American countries will be. There are also confederation arsenals that can supply arms to the Russians nearby, and the price can be lower, and Russia is not short of people, it is nothing more than to recruit more soldiers and have enough arms supply, and Nikolai will not dare to send 500,000 men to Colombia. Emperor Yang said very sinisterly.

If Russia really sends hundreds of thousands of troops to Colombia, I am afraid that it will not only be Colombia and Venezuela that will stand up to fight them at that time, but also Ecuador and Brazil, which will be difficult for these countries to sit still, anyway, his goal is just to get South America into a war, as for what kind of war, there is no need to care about this, in the case of the Entente countries being unable to change their situation, it is not bad to let them fight Russia first.

"Oh, the Russian people are going to tighten their belts again." Attendant Yuan sighed with emotion, but from the expression on his face, it looked like schadenfreude.

At this time, Russia was indeed on the verge of collapse, because of the lack of food, soaring prices, successive defeats in wars, heavy casualties on the front, and the increasing dissatisfaction of the common people with the tsarist government, coupled with some chaotic parties instigated from it, the whole of Russia was full of strikes, protests, marches, assassinations, and small-scale riots occurred in many places and even in some large cities.

In the countryside, because the Russian government's control power has weakened, the rope that originally strung on the hatred between the peasants and the landlords is breaking, and in the countryside in many places, there have been cases of peasants killing landlords and snatching property, and in the absence of military suppression, with only a small number of police, it has become more and more impossible to control the chaotic situation, and the whole country is like a wooden house in a storm, although it remains intact, as long as you are not a fool, you can see its disintegration.
