Chapter 370: Uncle Tsarist Emperor
There has recently been a trend of a sudden increase in the number of Tsarist Russian troops in northeastern China, near the Korean border, as a result of the release of water from Yama Youpeng during the Sino-Japanese War. www.biquge.info This troubled Lieutenant General Yevgeny Ivanovich Alekseev, who was the commander of the Tsarist unit, and was able to lead the army of more than 6,000 men as an attendant general, not because of his ability, but because of his other capacity, the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II.
Alekseev's talent was simply not enough to manage such an army fighting far from his homeland, and his nephew Nicholas II continued to recruit troops there, but the Russian ability to organize logistics and transportation was as inefficient as ever, and Alekseev struggled every day about how to manage these soldiers who were on the verge of mutiny due to lack of supplies.
Now the Trans-Siberian Railway of Tsarist Russia has only reached the eastern shore of Lake Belga, and every grain of food, every piece of clothing, and every bullet used by Alekseev and his men had to be transported from there by mules and horses. This inefficient and backward mode of transportation could barely support the operation of logistics and supply when the number of troops was small, but when Alekseev's emperor and nephew decided to expel the Great Song people entrenched in the Liaodong Peninsula by force, the supply situation of the army tended to collapse.
The Great Song people completely ignored the statement issued by Nicholas II and the Gallic government to withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula, they not only ignored the threat of force from Russia and France, the two European military powers, but even took the initiative to declare war on Tsarist Russia, demanding that Tsarist Russia return the land it had previously acquired from the Manchu government, and they refused to recognize the territory acquired by Tsarist Russia under the Treaty of Nebuchu a century ago, and claimed that China had sovereignty over the Lake Berga region.
This is the reason why Nicholas II jumped to his feet, he not only failed to plunder an ice-free port in the Far East from the situation laid out by the previous Tsar Alexander III, but was also choked by the Great Song Dynasty and demanded to return the Lake Berga region, which had been in the hands of Tsarist Russia for a century.
The angry Tsar Nicholas II frantically sent troops to the Far East, and he ignored the report of the former commander of the army on the Korean border that the logistics supply was overwhelmed, and increased the troops! Soldiers! Nicholas II had only one thought in his head!
The original commander, who was dissatisfied with the Tsar's massive increase in troops regardless of logistics, was soon removed from his post, and the new commander was Alexander's illegitimate son, Alekseev, the uncle of the current Tsar.
This imperial uncle, who had a lot of power in the court of Tsarist Russia, was a complete big straw bag in military command. He was good at flattery, and he was well aware of his nephew's eagerness to make a contribution, and when the former commander of the army that had penetrated deep into the territory of the Manchu Qing complained that the logistics could not keep up, he offered his nephew a plan to supply on the spot. According to his idea, the Tsarist army had guns in their hands, and they went to rob them without food or clothing, anyway, that place is not yet the territory of Tsarist Russia.
However, due to the Manchu blockade policy against the Han people pursued by the Manchus for more than 100 years, the northeastern region outside the Huaxia Pass was not much different from the barren land at all, and most of the Chinese people living here lived by fishing, hunting and collecting medicine, and it was simply impossible for Alekseev to rob them to obtain supplies.
As for crossing the North Korean border to get supplies, that's even more of a bad joke! Not to mention that North Korea, a small mountainous country, is itself a poor country with bad mountains and bad waters, and there is not much oil and water, and the footbasin chicken has already been scraped here during the Sino-Japanese War, what supplies can you expect from here?
Alekseev's suggestion won the favor of the tsar's nephew, and in the end, the emperor's fart finally slapped himself into the pit. Nicholas II felt that his uncle had great talents and should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so he sent Aleseyev to the Far East to command military operations against the Great Song people.
So Alekseev had to give up the leisurely life of drinking liquor and playing as a ballet dancer in St. Petersburg, rolled up his bedding and went to the later garrison of the Russian troops in the Yanbian area of Jilin. As soon as he arrived here, the Russian emperor was stunned, those soldiers who arrived before him came to aid the Tsarist and the Tsarist soldiers who were originally stationed here have become a tense situation for supplies, and there is a tendency to start fighting if they don't agree.
Uncle Huang has a hand in playing ballet, but he is really blind in governing the army, where has he ever seen such a scene!? What about the morale that is good? Didn't you say that you were waiting for me to push over to Liaodongping as soon as I arrived? I'm still waiting to be the governor of Kanto Prefecture, what the hell do you mean by holding a gun and making a fuss about the inside bar?
Well, these soldiers are much more difficult to deal with than those cute ballet girls, but fortunately I also brought a lot of staff officers, just ask them, Uncle Huang thought to himself.
There is an ancient saying in China that things gather people by like, and this is really suitable to describe the group of staff officers around Uncle Huang. Do you think, what kind of people with real skills can be around a wine bag and rice bag? Even if there is, it can only be that there used to be, and these subordinates around Uncle Huang who made a fortune by flattery have long been squeezed out of those who have real skills.
As soon as the staff officers saw this situation, they said to the emperor's uncle Alekseev, let's hurry south, to the south is the territory run by the Great Song people, and it should be possible to grab a lot of supplies, after all, the Great Song people are notoriously wealthy. No matter how bad it is, we can still get in touch with the Manchus and get some supplies, and His Majesty the Tsar has purchased a lot of supplies for us in Tianjin, and as long as we go south, as long as we are close to Yingkou near the sea, the supply crisis of our army can be alleviated.
If Dashan Yan and Shan County Youpeng heard the broken suggestions made by Uncle Huang's staff officers, they would definitely laugh and lie on the ground. What's that? Do you want to alleviate your logistical crisis by robbing the Great Song people? Did you drink too much vodka and burn out your brains!? From the moment the world saw the Royal Marines of the Great Song Dynasty, they were the only ones who grabbed other people's shares! Don't you see that we have to send them food as compensation when we are hungry? If you lose your mind, you will think about maintaining the logistics supply of your army by robbing the Great Song people.
However, Uncle Huang and his subordinates did not take the bloody and tearful lessons of the foot basin chicken to heart, and in their eyes, the mutual fight between inferior yellow people could not be regarded as a manifestation of combat strength at all. They felt that as long as the regular army of Tsarist Russia under their command went south, they would definitely be invincible, and they would definitely be able to drive the Great Song people into the sea.
As a clear-cut anti-Semite, Alekseev's every move was, of course, under the supervision of those Zionists. The appointment of Alekseev as commander of the Tsarist Far East was only then out of the palace and was transmitted to London by these Zionists by telegram.
When the traversers got the news, the Russian emperor was still on his way to the Far East. Don't be surprised! This is not surprising, if you know that in the history of the original time and space, on the night of the Battle of Tsushima, which decided the course of the Russo-Japanese War, the Emperor's uncle, as the commander-in-chief of the Tsarist Far East Sea Army, was playing a ballet in St. Petersburg, you would not be surprised by the emperor's procrastination style
