Yang Xiaolin's words about Naokami Songyuan are really a bit level, some of them are true, and some of them are false. At the same time, he also clearly conveyed the attitude of the Chinese side, and it is not impossible for Japan to further obtain China's resources, but they must take some action to help China break the British blockade.

The agreement that China and Japan were going to sign was a purely commercial agreement, but it was really enough to tear a hole in the British blockade. This makes Japan have to make a choice: whether to continue to maintain the status quo in Asia with the British, to maintain British interests and maintain relations between Britain and Japan, or, as Yang said, to break the current situation in Asia while the British are pinned down in Europe.

Naokami Matsubara knew it was a bet, a bet on the future of the Great Japanese Empire.

It is difficult to choose whether to bet big or small, to be honest, Matsubara-kun really doesn't believe what Yang Dagui said, "Work together." ”

What he believes is that Japan must make a choice, and once the Chinese win against the Russians, they may not need Japan to choose.

The Russians have long been at odds with the war. Both France and Britain desperately hoped that Russia would accept an immediate cease-fire, not fight with the Chinese, and transfer troops and materials to Asia, so that Britain and France would continue to support Russia.

The British made it clear that it was inappropriate for the British Empire and France to intervene in the war at present, and that if the Russians needed it, they could ask the Americans to intervene and mediate, and I believe that the newly established New China would not refuse at all.

General Kizerosky also sent a telegram to the Tsar. It is extremely irresponsible to say that the hope of winning the war is already very small, and it is extremely irresponsible to bet the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russian lads at this time. He also asked for an immediate end to the fighting, so that his troops could slowly retreat. As for whether Mongolia should be returned to the Chinese, negotiations can be made. After all, the long supply lines of the Russian troops will be shortened after the retreat, and they will once again have the ability to fight, and if they have the ability to fight, they will have the capital to negotiate.

But Nicholas II really could not accept the fact that he was defeated by the Chinese, and he could not imagine what kind of mood he would have felt when he signed a treaty with the Chinese.

Therefore, even though the difficulties faced by the army and the international situation had made the war very unfavorable for Russia, the Tsar still demanded that General Kizerosky continue to fight the war. The tsar said that if the request and the Chinese should take the initiative, he said that the Russian troops must continue to attack. At the very least, it will last until winter arrives in Beijing.

When General Kizerosky received this order, he really felt hopeless, and at this time the Chinese would take the initiative to sue for peace? He had a sense of foreboding, a famous master of war had said a word. The exploits of one general are achieved with the head of another. Kizerosky really felt that he might be a trophy of unknown Chinese generals.

However, he commanded the troops very dutifully, concealed all the orders of the Tsar and the slightest fear in his heart, and patrolled the battlefield every day. Doing the job that a general should do. Thanks to his efforts, the situation at the front can be maintained. At least on the surface, the Russian forces are really still attacking.

"General Kizerosky,"

The Russian staff officer pushed open the door of the general's room and brought a Chinese representation document: "The Chinese have once again offered to exchange prisoners of war with us. ”

Kizeroski slapped his forehead: "Didn't you already exchange yesterday?" ”

It is normal for soldiers on both sides to be caught by each other on the battlefield, some are not careful, some are forced by the battlefield situation, some are injured and can't walk, and some are unlucky enough to go to the wrong place. This kind of thing was left alone on both sides in previous battles. The exchange of prisoners of war was also an act of negotiation after the end of the war in order to convey the goodwill of reconciliation to the other side.

But this time, Yang Dagui obviously played his cards according to common sense. While the war was still going on, he negotiated with the Russians and exchanged Russian soldiers captured by the Chinese for Chinese prisoners. Originally, General Kizerosky really didn't want to deal with that beast, but Yang Xiaolin took out more Russian prisoners than Chinese every time, so he agreed to this kind of taking advantage.

Yesterday the two sides had just had an exchange, and 10,000 Russian soldiers returned to the Russian army, while more than 7,000 Chinese soldiers who had been captured were also released by them.

Kizerosky felt that if he remembered correctly, there were currently only 200 Chinese prisoners of war in Russian hospitals. The Russians promised to wait for the soldiers to recover a little better, and then hand them over to the Chinese. This is not the mercy of the Russians, it is this time that Gulegrevich walked into the Chinese prisoner of war camp with more than 80,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, so that Lao Maozi really did not dare to make a mistake.

They know the character of Yang Dagui, they are willing to exchange 10,000 Russian prisoners for 7,000 people, if you dare to kill one, he will definitely dare to kill a hundred!

The Russian staff officer said: "They are not exchanging soldiers, the Chinese side has proposed to exchange 30 Chinese officers above the rank of colonel, including Lieutenant General Gulegrevich, for Zhang Huaizhi, the commander of their fifth town in Beiyang." ”

Kizeroski took the report from the Chinese side and looked at it, a wry smile leaked from his face, he really understood why Yang Xiaolin was able to go all the way from Gulu Mountain to today, and finally understood why Ackberil was a little afraid of Yang beating ghosts, this guy is a difficult opponent.

Take this matter as an example, Zhang Huaizhi is from Beiyang, Yang Xiaolin can completely ignore him, and even Yuan Shikai can't say anything. But from the battle between the two sides to the present, that beast has already wanted to change Zhang Huaizhi back for the third time.

And Yang Xiaolin's price is getting higher and higher, with thirty Russian generals and a lieutenant in exchange for Zhang Huaizhi, many people think that Russia has taken a big advantage, but Kizerosky knows that Zhang Huaizhi will inevitably be grateful to Yang Xiaolin after he goes back, even if he can't go back to those generals of the Beiyang Army, he will have a good impression of Yang Dagui.

On the contrary, the Russian generals were more captured by the Chinese, but so far they did not think of any plan to rescue them, and neither did the Tsar. I wonder what Lieutenant General Gulegrevich will think when he knows that their thirty generals were replaced by Zhang Huaizhi alone?

What would they think if they knew that the Russians had refused to agree to an exchange at one point?

Kizeroski really felt a kind of helplessness, a kind of helplessness that the Chinese said helplessly. How exactly did this battle end?

"General, what do you think we will say?"

The staff officer interrupted the general's thoughts and pulled his train of thought back. General Kizerosky finally nodded, and the thirty Russian officers were really able to accept it, but unfortunately Zhang Huaizhi was not with him now. In order to show their achievements, they had sent Zhang Huaizhi to St. Petersburg, and now they wanted to exchange it for the consent of the Tsar.

"I sent a telegram to St. Petersburg and asked them to send people back. As for the Chinese, let Rangnick negotiate, don't talk about it, drag on time, I don't need me to teach him how to talk, after all, he is a diplomat. ”

"Yes."

Yang Xiaolin looked at the battle report that Wu Zhaolin had sent him on the front line in the past few days, and the Russians were attacking every day, and they were working very hard. But Yang Xiaolin really had an intuition, a kind of intuition peculiar to a general on the battlefield, just as Kizerosky sensed that the Russian troops were in danger.

"Matsupa, I think the Russians seem to have lost faith in this battle! At least their supreme commander looks like this. ”

Cai Ye was marking the dynamics of the troops on both sides on the map, and he didn't raise his head: "Commander, tell me your reasons?" ”

Yang Xiaolin shook his head: "I can't say it, but I suddenly feel this way." ”

Cai Yi smiled: "I can give the commander a reason, you look at the deployment of the Russian troops on my map." ”

Yang Xiaolin took a look: "Is there any problem?" That Kizerosky was okay with the formation, there were no major mistakes. ”

Cai Yi said: "It's not about the formation, but the icon of the Russian troops, which hasn't moved for four days. ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Xiaolin sat up straight, and looked at the icon of the Russian troops on the map, really, just like Cai Ye said, Lao Maozi's troops didn't seem to be so mobilized since this attack.

"The Russians are very normal on the front line, but behind this normality is an abnormality in itself. Kizeroski put on an invulnerable line-up to suppress our front line with a strong force, but what about his tactics? What about his intentions? As a general on the battlefield, he didn't make fraudulent moves, just cared about not making mistakes, if it wasn't that he had lost faith in the war, then what was? ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyes slowly lit up, and after staring at the map for a long time, he raised his head and said to Cai Yi: "Songpo, I want to fight a counterattack!" The goal of the battle was a heavy group of Russians. I want to see how he reacts after I punch him! Where do you see it fits? ”

Cai Yi thought for a moment: "It is indeed completely feasible to fight a battle to see Lao Maozi's movements, but this battle must be controlled in scale, and it can't be fought too lightly, otherwise you won't be able to see it." We can't hit too hard, we don't have the strength to attack Mongolia at the moment, and if the Russians turn around and run, it will be very troublesome for us to catch up. ”

His hand gestured on the map for a while, and finally stopped at Zhangjiakou: "Fight here, the five armies of Lao Maozi's Caucasian Group Army are besieging Zhangjiakou, and we will take the two armies in the south as the combat target and eat it!" It can threaten the Russians, but it will not make the Russians feel that there is no hope for war. ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted: "Okay, immediately make a battle plan and tell Sui Bing to prepare for a counterattack!" By the way, didn't Sui Bing say that Qu Tongfeng, the general of the Beiyang Army there, couldn't fight? Let him find a good one to fight. ”

Cai Yi was stunned for a moment, but Yang Xiaolin snorted: "Try the Russians, and by the way, try Lao Yuan." (To be continued......)
