Chapter 9 Strategy is like chess

This time, Commander Yang really didn't fool Songyuan-kun.

Although cooperating with the Japanese is emotionally unacceptable to Yang Xiaolin, it is currently the best and most helpless move, and there is no other choice.

The British blockade of China had already begun, not only militarily, but also economically. Britain is not a fool, people before the investigation of the situation is very clear, in the British government report clearly pointed out that the Chinese demand for living standards is quite low, the Chinese people can be satisfied under extremely difficult conditions, as long as there is a bite to eat, they will not resist their government.

Moreover, China is geographically vast and fully capable of self-sufficiency, so a simple military blockade and simple economic strangulation will not bring China to its knees. China's national industry has developed rapidly after the Gengzi year, but even if it is completely destroyed, it can only be said to hinder China's development.

The blockade of China must be aimed at disrupting his economic order, and China's agricultural economy is the focus of the attack! Let the Chinese have nothing to eat, and let the Chinese market be in chaos, only in this way can the Chinese lose confidence in the government in Beijing.

When the Chinese people do not support their government, I believe that there will be problems within him, because after all, the Beijing government has just been established, and the Russians should be able to achieve a military victory at that time, and what Britain has to do is to come back as a savior when the conditions are ripe to reap the maximum benefits.

The report was submitted by the British Senate and transferred to Beijing through the Germans, and Commander Yang immediately realized that the British were at least strategically correct. Moreover, economically, China simply does not have the strength to compete with the British.

He had to break the blockade of the British, and he had to untie this dead knot around China's neck.

Britain, France and Russia will not help you, and Germany and Austria will not be able to help if they want to.

The Americans are even more cunning, and now they are sitting on the hill and watching the tiger fight, shouting every day that they are only in charge of the affairs of the Americas, and the interests of other places will never be involved. looks like a decent gentleman, but he quietly stretched out his hand to the South Seas when the Netherlands was weak and Britain and France were immaculate. On the issue of China, they maintained diplomatic relations with China on the one hand, and on the other hand, they cooperated with British actions.

If China breaks this situation, the United States will have nothing to lose, and if China is strangled by the British, they can follow behind and share a piece of blood.

Commander Yang hated Japan very much, but Japan was the only gap, and little Japan had already expressed that it was willing to let go a little for the sake of their own development. Commander Yang hoped that the Japanese would be able to relax their hands a little more. From leaving a gap for China to leaving an exit.

Watching Matsubara-kun's footsteps step on the train, Yang Xiaolin's mood was a little uncomfortable, and he stepped on the ground twice, he didn't know if what he did this time was right or wrong. To give Japan resources is to sacrifice oneself to feed the tigers, and to carry out unofficial cooperation first is also because Commander Yang wants to see what the Japanese use their resources for.

If they are used to build the army, then the cooperation between the two sides must be terminated immediately, and the reason is not explained. China was Japan's first enemy on land. If small Japan develops its navy, China will still have a little time.

It is also uncertain whether Japan will develop a navy or an army Commander Yang, and I heard that the Japanese themselves have not quarreled with the result.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Matsubara-kun's train departed, and Commander Yang's expression was a little depressed. Sometimes I really feel that I am happy when I am in the mountains, and I can be happy with revenge. When he was fighting with the Russians, he dared to come to Beijing to kidnap the ministers of the Eight Nations, and he could still arrogantly release cruel words: "If you have the ability, you will form an Eight-Nation Alliance to come to the mountains to exterminate me." ”

It's really cool to do things without thinking about the consequences! Not now, I really don't dare to say it. You have to coax those foreigners. Liar. He will not provoke a second opponent until the Russians have solved it, and that is not tough. It's looking for death.

Cullen.

It was here that General Kizerosky's troops stopped their southward march, and he had planned to go to Jinzhou to launch an attack on the northeast, so that he could cooperate with the Far Eastern Front's operations against Beijing. But I didn't expect that Yang Da Ghost, that beast was one step faster than the Russians.

That is, four or five days, if Kizerosky's troops were allowed to enter the Jinzhou area, it would not be so easy for Yang Dagui to enter the customs again, and the Far Eastern Army would not be wiped out. There are no ifs on the battlefield, and now the Russian military has changed its tactics, and the tsar has decided to commit absolutely superior forces to deliver a devastating blow to the Chinese!

Nicholas II told all the generals that this time they must let the Chinese know that it is powerful, and in the future they will tremble when they see the boots of the Russian troops!

The third, fifth, and eighth armies of the Russian army, plus the troops of General Kizerosky, and the remnants of the Russian Far East Army that had retreated here, Lao Maozi's strength had reached 630,000. The numbers continue to increase, because this time Nicholas II really wanted to kill the newly established new China with one punch.

At the same time that Commander Yang was making strategic arrangements in Beijing and determining his own defense plan, a high-level military meeting of the Russians was also held in Kulen, where the commanders of several group armies sat together to discuss how to capture Beijing and win the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the French and the British need us to deploy our forces to Europe, where the situation is very tense, the Germans have massed a large number of troops on the French border, and war could break out at any time, so we may not have much time to waste in China. His Majesty the Tsar has given clear instructions that we must end the fighting in China within half a year. ”

General Kizerosky, who presided over the meeting as the commander-in-chief of the battle, immediately said, "I don't think it's a big problem, we have absolute strength, no matter what way it is, we can completely defeat the Chinese." ”

Brusinov was the commander of the Eighth Army, Kizerosky did not have much affection for him, he was like Russian vodka, too strong. If given a choice, Kizerosky would definitely not want to choose Brusinov to fight with him.

But it can't be helped, it's an order from the Tsar, and His Majesty the Tsar likes that guy.

"Akberlil, I'd like to hear your opinion, you're the only one here who has dealt with that guy more than once, what do you think about this war?"

Kizeroski asked Akberil for his opinion, and before Akberil could speak, Brusinov spoke: "General Akberlil, I can accept any of your opinions, but I hope you don't suggest that we should retreat, hahaha!" ”

This person is such a nuisance! There were a dozen high-ranking Russian generals in the room, and he was the only one laughing at Akberil. After Akberil retreated into Mongolia with the remnants of the Far Eastern Army, the general looked a little sluggish, and everyone could see that he was in a bad mood and could understand him.

The defeat of the Far Eastern Army was not his sole responsibility, it was the High Command that ordered Akberil to attack from Jinzhou, and now it seems that it was this order that caused the situation. Akberil did not make any mistakes before Yang Xiaolin intervened, which is why the tsar did not pursue him.

Akberil slowly stood up: "I think we should be cautious in our actions. Our Russian army is also facing great difficulties, and the most important thing is that our logistical supply lines must be safe and unblocked. That guy likes to take the back of people, so he has to be on guard. ”

After he finished speaking, he sat down, his eyes did not look at anyone around him, and General Kizerosky suddenly felt that Akberil should be transferred back to the country to adjust his mental state, and he was definitely not fit to stay at the front line.

"Yes, Akberil has a point. The Chinese troops set up positions in Zhangjiakou, Beijing, Tianjin, and Langfang, and the biggest threat to us was Zhangjiakou. When we attack Beijing, they may harass us from the rear at any time, and from here we can quickly enter Daqingshan, and there is a Chinese army in this place, although I don't know why the prince named Zaitao didn't come out to make trouble for us during this time, but we must not ignore them. ”

Stersar stood up: "General, I think we should first eliminate Zaitao and eliminate the resistance in the Mongolian region." Now our troops are also about to improve the transportation routes, and I can complete this task. ”

Kizerosky thought for a moment: "Well, I'll give you a month, and after a month, whether or not the strategic goal is achieved, your military operations must be stopped immediately." Stesar, I know you'd love to catch Zaitao, but remember that your mission in this battle is to secure the transport lines! ”

"Yes!"

"The Chinese's intentions are very clear, which is to use our long supply lines to gain a situation in their favor. If the war drags on, the materials we spend will be several times that of the Chinese! Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Brusinov immediately said: "I have drawn up a battle plan, with the Chinese troops taking Beijing as the main defensive point, and the troops of Tianjin and Langfang assisting in the defense of Beijing, forming a solid triangle. At the same time, use Zhangjiakou's troops to contain our attack force, this trick is very clever, no matter which point we attack, we will be counterattacked by their full strength, so I suggest, we attack more! With an absolutely superior force, a fierce offensive was launched against Beijing, Tianjin, and Zhangjiakou at the same time. ”

Kizerosky's brow furrowed, China's current difficulty is that the materials cannot keep up, and there is a shortage. And the training of the soldiers has not been completed, and at present, Yang Xiaolin is only their First Army that has been incorporated into the battle sequence.

The difficulty for the Russians is that the battle line is too long, it is like a boxer in the ring, and the Chinese want to drag out the time to allow their physical strength to slowly recover in battle. And what General Brushinov did was to defeat them with explosive power!

This plan is indeed very targeted, when the Russian troops attack on all fronts, the Chinese troops will take care of one or the other, and the limited reinforcements and materials will not know which battlefield to put on.

But Kizeroski always found Brushinov's tone unacceptable. It sounds like a suggestion, but it sounds like an order to yourself. (To be continued......)
