Japan killed a lot of people during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and at that time the gentlemen not only pretended not to see, but even covered up the atrocities of the Japanese to some extent. The reason is that because the war is fought on Chinese soil, it has little to do with their interests, the Japanese can hurt China, and they can also get a mediation fee! For example, after the First Sino-Japanese War, the three countries intervened and returned Liao, and both the United States and Russia received tremendous benefits.

But this time it was different, although Indonesia was a colony of the Dutch, the Americans clearly felt how ferocious the hungry wolf that had just pounced on little Japan, and they were very worried that the eyes of the Japanese would be on the Philippines.

Therefore, the U.S. government took the lead in condemning the actions of the Japanese in the newspapers, and at the same time contacted Britain and France to discuss whether they could take some necessary measures to curb the ambitions of the Japanese.

Of course, the British are willing, and they also want the situation in Asia to be brought back into their control, not to mention that they can restore the position of the empire on which the sun never sets, at least until the affairs of Europe are resolved, and there will be no more chaos here in Asia.

The gentlemen did not have the energy to send troops to fight in Asia, so they still followed the same policy, and it was most ideal for Asia to return to the previous situation in which China, Russia, and Japan contained each other.

Mr. Zhu Erdian formally handed over an official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the British Empire to Yuan Shikai, and the British finally came out in an official capacity and promised that as long as China agreed to stop the war with Russia, they would guarantee that the Russians would return Mongolia to China intact.

Mr. Jurdian said that the ideal thing at the moment is for the two sides to cease fire immediately. Then the Russian troops withdrew from the Mongols, and the Chinese side did not pursue. As for the issue of the northeast, the boundary is 85 years, and all the agreements signed after that are abolished are abolished, and as for the previous one, the two sides can hold peace talks.

In all fairness, this condition is very fair, and according to China's current national and military strength, even if it is fought for two years and won consecutive victories, it may not be possible to recover so much territory.

And this time the gentlemen are really very sincere, and Mr. Conger also made a point to say that the US government will give China support in future negotiations, as long as Lao Yuan does not mention anything starting from the Treaty of Nebuchu. The Americans will support China.

Mr. Zhu Erdian also pledged on behalf of the British side. Isn't China's economy not developing very well because of the lockdown? As long as you don't fight, the blockade will be lifted immediately. Are you looking for Germans to develop a navy? What is the German Navy, we, the British Empire, will help you for five years. In five years, your navy will be able to compete with the Japanese in the seas of Asia.

Lao Yuan is really tempted!

He understood that the sudden willingness of the British to change their attitude was due to the desire to use China to contain Japan. But this does not hurt China! As soon as the economic blockade is lifted. He can hate the smooth development of the national economy, and his prestige will inevitably be higher after recovering the country, and after promoting his so-called Han culture. The greater the certainty is the greater the certainty.

Yuan Shikai's telegram showed his thoughts, although he asked Yang Xiaolin if he could stop the war, but every sentence was to agree to the conditions of Britain and the United States.

Yang Xiaolin put down the telegram and pushed it on the table for everyone to circulate, Duan Qirui immediately said after reading it: "Commander, if the British can really do it, I think it is not impossible for us to stop military operations now, let's develop for a few years, and it will be easier to fight in the future." ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyes turned: "What about your opinions?" Everybody talk. ”

The opinions of everyone are unanimous, but the vast majority of those who agree with Duan Qirui's statement. Lao Maozi has to pay back not only Mongolia this time, but also the Heilongjiang region in the northeast, as well as nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land north of Xinjiang. Many people think that this result is acceptable at this stage, and even if there are any requirements, isn't it still negotiable? Moreover, the Chinese troops do have a lot of problems at present, and it is also difficult for the Chinese side to supply, so there is nothing wrong with being able to end the war in this way.

Yang Xiaolin was actually tempted, otherwise he would not have asked for the opinions of these people. But when everyone finished speaking, he found that his heart was still thinking about persistence.

Everyone was looking at him, and there was a brief silence in the room, and Commander Yang now somewhat understood the purpose of the Russians' counterattack at this time. This condition was so tempting that it even exceeded what China could get from the battlefield, and Nicholas II must have seen no reason for China to reject him, and Yuan Shikai would sign it immediately. Maybe in order to get Lao Yuan to agree, he will make some concessions.

In this case, the war would have to stop when the Russians attacked, which was the best outcome for Nicholas II.

He violently stroked his hair back with his hand: "Oh, to be honest, I also kind of want to agree." Is there any news from the Japanese? They won't be unresponsive when they hear that the British have given us this condition, right? ”

Huang Bao was stunned for a moment: "This, it may be that the matter has just come out, and the Japanese side has not reacted yet." I received a telegram in the morning saying that their military operation in Indonesia was continuing, and that perhaps tomorrow the Japanese side would be able to get through. ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Yang Xiaolin's face, and after it bloomed, he shook his head gently: "No, they won't say anything." I bet little Japan will ignore the conditions given to us by Britain and the United States! ”

Duan Qirui was stunned for a moment: "Aren't they afraid that we will cooperate with the Americans to contain him?" ”

"Maybe others will be afraid, but this time it was Naogami Matsubara who was in charge of the land war in Indonesia. My Japanese brother knows me well, he should be able to guess, I won't agree! ”

Yang Xiaolin stood up when he said this, although the people around him looked a little stunned, he did not give them another chance to speak to shake his determination: "Send a telegram to the president, just say that I insist on using war to solve the problem!" ”

Grabbed the military hat on the table and put it on: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just thought about accepting the terms of negotiation like many of you. But I don't think I can put all the peace in the future on the treaty! The only way to guarantee that Lao Maozi will not dare to provoke us again in the future is to make them tremble when they see our clothes! Nicholas II thought that these conditions were enough to attract us. So after taking this stinky move, we have to take the opportunity to kill him and let him lose the whole game! The troops obey orders! ”

A room full of commanders and fighters immediately stood upright. Yang Xiaolin's eyes swept over their faces: "Carry out the No. 1 operation plan and carry out an annihilation operation against Kulun's Far Eastern Group Army!" ”

Three days after the Russian attack, the momentum of the attack had waned, and Nicholas II was waiting for good news from Beijing, and then the Chinese forces would immediately stop the fighting, and he could make the attacking Russian troops retreat calmly.

He really didn't think that the Chinese would not agree. In the eyes of a robber, it would be interesting to give you something that was strong on you.

According to the Northeast Silks, I robbed your goods. You come to the door with a helper. I will retire you three achievements is the rule of the rivers and lakes. Nicholas II retreated far more than three times, judging from the situation after the Russians began to attack, the positions of the Chinese troops were constantly lost, and the Chinese on all fronts adopted a defensive strategy. Occasional assaults are also small-scale. This made Nicholas II believe even more. Your intentions will be fulfilled.

But Yang Xiaolin, the scoop of the Northeast Green Forest, didn't agree this time!

On January 16 of the first year of the republic, Nikolai did not wait for the news that China was willing to sign. But he got a telegram from Yang Xiaolin in Mongolia:

"I am very grateful for the kindness of some countries that have come to mediate this war! But some of the terms they came up with made me dismissive! Perhaps the gentlemen of Europe were very satisfied with the treaty, so they thought that the Chinese should be satisfied as well.

But the gentlemen may have forgotten the role played by both China and Russia in this contest. The Russians are like a robber who broke into China, and the Chinese have already paid too much blood and effort to resist this bandit, and more than half a million of our soldiers died on the battlefield!

As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese troops, I must give an answer to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend the motherland! Once again, I ask the gentlemen to pay attention to the identities of both sides in this war! We're defending our homes, and I think in your country, you won't ask the residents to lay down their arms in the face of robbers who break into people's homes, do you?

This is an unreasonable request! All negotiations must be based on one condition, that is, all Russian troops on Chinese soil unconditionally lay down their arms and surrender! If they don't want to, we will do whatever it takes to carry the war to the end! “

Carrying out the war to the end at all costs is like a clarion call that resounded throughout the battlefield and the land of China!

Yang Xiaolin's words reached the heart of every Chinese, China has really paid too much for this war, especially in the provinces north of the Yellow River, and the common people are really gnawing on the bark to support the front line to fight! If nothing else, just for the little bit of backbone that has been pressed by foreigners for decades!

Maybe Yang Xiaolin's approach looks very irrational, but it is really passionate! Although many scholars in China say that accepting the conditions of the British is a good choice, for some people who are not very knowledgeable, especially those soldiers who watched their comrades fall under the guns of the Russians, it is really a pity that this war ended with peace talks.

Fortunately, Commander Yang did not regret everyone.

The Chinese attack on the battlefield immediately began, and when the Russians launched the offensive, the Chinese position was slowly shrinking, and it seemed that Lao Maozi was still very combative. But when China launched an offensive, Russia's positions were not lost piece by piece.

Nicholas II made a wrong judgment, which was not a big deal, political decisions are like military wars, and no one can guarantee that they will be right. But he shouldn't have put the military on the political table.

The result of this is that when his political intentions cannot be realized, he is brought into an extremely passive situation militarily!

The Russian troops had been exhausted by several days of offensive, and their ammunition and supplies had been largely depleted. Take Kulen's Russian Far East Army as an example, they did not have the ability to attack but forcibly launched an attack, and the northern battlefield Akberlil attacked the 780,000 troops of the Fifth Front with 7 or 8,000 men, which may have been possible in the Qing Dynasty two years ago.

Even if the Mongol armed forces were weaker, they were stronger than they were in the Qing Dynasty, and at least they could see the hope of victory.

In a few days the Fifth Front lost more than 20,000 men, and Ackberil's troops lost only 4,000 men. This shows that Ackberil is playing really well, if he doesn't attack and blindly defend, Zhang Dewu really has no good way.

But now, Yang Xiaolin ordered the Chinese troops to go on a counteroffensive, and the spearhead was first aimed at the Far Eastern Group Army! When the 50,000-strong Fifth Front launched a counteroffensive at once, Ackberil, who only had 3,000 left, would not be able to conjure up soldiers and bullets, even if he had the ability!

The same was true of the southern battlefield of Kulen, the troops of Major General Mardinov were also on the offensive and lost a large number of soldiers, and there was an extreme shortage of supplies, when the troops of the Second Front were outflanked and attacked him together with the First Front Wang Jinhanbu, in one day he lost all the positions that he had fought so hard for several days, and the whole line was shaken and facing collapse.

Worst of all, Kizerosky and Stessel's troops also ran out of energy during the attack, watching Kulen fall under the attack of the Chinese troops but unable to save them! The tsar made a mistake, and the Russian soldiers here had to pay for him with their lives. (To be continued......)
