After listening to Yan Fu's words, Tang Jian knew very well why the great powers wore the same pair of pants at this time? It was because the Beiyang Fleet has now defeated the Russian Pacific Fleet and became the veritable first fleet in Asia, and the strength of the Beiyang Fleet is also among the top ten fleets in the world.

The Far East has always been the location of the greatest overseas interests of the great powers such as Britain, the United States, France, Russia and Germany. As an emerging capitalist power, Germany did not participate in it. One is to use Tang Jian's Beiyang Fleet to curb the development of other powerful forces in the Far East, and the other is to be interested in the latest technology technology in Tang Jian's hands.

As the real capitalist hegemon of this era, Britain did not want a powerful China to appear in the East, because this would threaten its interests in the Far East.

Similarly, as old European powers, France and Russia, they were no longer able to compete with Britain in Europe and gradually showed a decline in competition with Germany. Therefore, they who focused on developing colonies in the Far East naturally did not want to see Tang Jian reach the top. Tang Jian's growth means that their already few colonies would become fewer.

The United States, which took the last bus of the First Industrial Revolution, experienced the North-South Civil War and the Spanish-American War, domestic capitalism grew rapidly, and its demand for capital output also rose, so they extended their hands to the Far East.

"There is another situation." Yan Fu continued, "After Japan's defeat, Hiromori Ito's cabinet actively expanded its military facilities. Hiromori Ito not only applied for huge loans from Britain and France, but also customized a large number of warships from Britain and France, including four of the latest monarch-class battleships. The United States blatantly began to aid Japan, providing free funds, technology and weapons support." Yan Fu said.

"Damn it!" Tang Jian sighed. He did not expect that the actions of the great powers were much faster than he thought. They were obviously like allowing Japan to quickly recover its vitality and then restrain the development of the Southern Army. The international situation became increasingly serious!

"Mr. Yan, you'd better make a statement on my behalf, saying that if the Southern Army seized the Chinese regime, the Southern Army would continue to recognize the treaties signed by the great powers and the Qing government, and the Southern Army would not interfere with their power development in the Far East after the end of the civil war!" Tang Jian said with a frown.

"This?" Yan Fu hesitated a little.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yan has something to say!" Tang Jian said.

"As soon as this statement is issued, the commander will be scolded by the Chinese. After all, these unequal treaties have oppressed the Chinese people for so many years. The Chinese have long hated these unequal treaties to the core and wished to abolish these unequal treaties immediately. Moreover, even if the commander does this, the great powers may not believe it. If they still insist on supporting Yuan Shikai, then wouldn't we be thankless?" Yan Fu said worriedly.

"I understand this!" Tang Jian said helplessly, "After all, the Southern Army is weak now and does not have the ability to declare war with the great powers. If you have a fight with the great powers at this time, the Southern Army may fall into a state of entanglement. I also know that the great powers may not believe us a simple statement, but this shows our attitude. At least it can give them a reassurance so that they will not force us too much. After all, we now have a force that cannot be ignored by the great powers. They also know that if we force us in a hurry, it is not good for all parties to break the enemy's death. This is just a delaying strategy."

"Well, I understand!: Yan Fu nodded. What Tang Jian said was not without reason. This was just a delaying strategy. It was to win precious time for the Southern Army to defeat Yuan Shikai. The most important purpose now is to defeat Yuan Shikai and unify the north and south. Only after his strength gradually grew will he have the ability to play against the great powers.

Yan Fu took out another telegram from the folder in his arms and handed it to Tang Jian, saying, "This is a telegram sent by Wang Jianchuan!"

The content of the telegram was that Wang Jianchuan volunteered to participate in the war against Russia. Tang Jian took a look and said, "I agree!"

This time Yan Fu was a little surprised, and Yan Fu asked, "What's wrong, Commander? This lone wolf is your treasure. Is it a bit useless to use the Russian Cossack cavalry?"

Tang Jian lit a cigarette and said slowly: "The Cossack cavalry and the lone wolf have a deep blood feud, so let Wang Jianchuan go, this also fulfills my wish."

Yan Fu knew what Tang Jian meant by grudges and blood feuds. The lone wolf suffered heavy losses in the battle of Wafangdian, which were all thanks to the Cossack cavalry. One of Tang Jian's proud assistants, Liu Kunsheng, also died in that battle.

Liu Kunsheng and others were all comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with Tang Jian during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Their meaning to Tang Jian is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers, but more like brothers. I heard that one of Liu Kunsheng's four people sacrificed his life to save Tang Jian's life because Liu Kunsheng's sacrifice made Tang Jian's hatred for the Cossack cavalry was extremely deep.

"Then I will send a telegram to Wang Jianchuan and the others right away!" Yan Fu stood up and said.

Tang Jian nodded, Yan Fu turned around and left Tang Jian's room.

Tang Jian's thoughts seemed to float to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. At that time, he was still the general of the Beiyang Navy. He clearly remembered the four young artillery soldiers who had been defending the Beigang Fort at the time, but now, there are only two of them left.

Chen Erbao and Liu Kunsheng all died in battle to cover him. He will always remember this love, so he must agree to Wang Jianchuan's request. He knew that Ma Rushan and He Shan also hoped to avenge Liu Kunsheng!

Then go! Let the so-called eagle on the Volga River experience the sharp teeth of the lone wolf! Tang Jian said in his heart.

...

Ambush the valley of the Russian Cossack cavalry.

Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin and Jie Jiajun are patrolling the positions. Today, the Cossack cavalry will arrive.

At this moment, a communication soldier came to report: "Report, Colonel Wang Jianchuan of the Lone Wolf Army asked for a visit!"

Zhang Zuolin was a little surprised and said, "Huh? What did Wang Jianchuan come here to do? Hasn't he completed the mission and returned to Jingzhou?"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look. I haven't seen Wang Jianchuan for a long time!" Jie Jiajun, who was born as an old lone wolf, said with a smile.

"Then let's go!" Feng Yuxiang waved his hand and the three of them went to see Wang Jianchuan together.

When Zhang Zuolin and others saw Wang Jianchuan, they were all shocked. Zhang Zuolin asked in surprise: "Jianchuan, why did you bring all your troops?"

Behind Wang Jianchuan, more than 200 lonely wolves stood in a dense manner, with neat military appearance and energetic spirit. Everyone's eyes shot sharply like wolves. People could tell that they were an elite army at a glance.

Wang Jianchuan gave a military salute and replied: "Report to Staff Zhang, we are ordered to participate in this ambush!"

"After order?" Jie Jiajun patted Wang Jianchuan on the shoulder and smiled, "Who is ordered by him, Brother Jianchuan, who doesn't know that your lone wolf is the commander's treasure? How can the commander be willing to let you participate in such a large-scale army battle? Don't joke with us, haha."

"We are waiting for the commander's order, this is the commander's telegram!" Wang Jianchuan took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin took it and saw that it was indeed the commander's order.

Feng Yuxiang and Jie Jiajun both looked at Wang Jianchuan with confusion. Why did the commander suddenly order the Lone Wolf to participate in this ambush? Lone Wolf is the ace force in the army, and the commander kept it for the raid of the Forbidden City.

Wang Jianchuan stood up and said: "The commander said, let us avenge the brothers who died in Wafangdian and Lushun, and let the eagle on the Volga River break its wings on the sharp teeth of the lone wolf!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin and Jie Jiajun immediately understood that although Feng Yuxiang did not directly participate in the battle at Wafangdian, he had heard of this tragic battle for a long time. Now when he heard Wang Jianchuan say this, he immediately felt awe.

The three of them gave Wang Jianchuan a solemn military salute, and Zhang Zuolin said, "Okay, Captain Wang, everyone you take will be with you, the Cossack cavalry will be coming soon!"

"Yes!" Wang Jianchuan's heels were all together. At this time, Wang Jianchuan had already landed in the combat troops this time, and all actions must obey the command of Zhang Zuolin and others.

"He Shan, you lead the first company to arrange it on the top of the east mountain under the command of Commander Jie Jiajun. Ma Rushan, you lead the second company to arrange it on the top of the west mountain under the command of Commander Feng Yuxiang. The sniper platoon will follow me to occupy the sniper points on the top of the mountain on both sides. All actions will be followed by the command of Staff Zhang!"

"Yes, captain!" More than two hundred lonely wolves answered in unison.

"Go down and prepare now!" Wang Jianchuan ordered.

"Brush..." A neat footsteps, and after a while, all the lone wolf had entered the combat position.

Feng Yuxiang praised: "Elite is elite, and the combat quality is different. He is absolutely obedient, acts quickly, and does not drag it out at all! If everyone in our army has such elites, why worry about Yuan Shikai's immortality!"

Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "Okay, Commander Feng, don't sigh here. The troops trained by the commander himself will naturally not be bad. The Cossack cavalry will arrive soon, so make preparations! You can watch a good show with your own eyes in a while!"

"Haha, that's it." After Feng Yuxiang said that, he and Zhang Zuolin and others entered their respective battle positions, and nervously waited for the Cossack cavalry to enter the ambush circle.

...

There was a rolling smoke and dust rising from the sky, as if even the ground was shaking. In a short while, you could hear thousands of thunders and horses neighing. It was the Russian army's 30,000 Cossack cavalry that had begun to approach.

Ten minutes later, a team of horses appeared in the sky. As time went by, tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry slowly appeared in sight.

If you have to use a few words to describe the lineup of the Cossack cavalry at this time, you can use words such as "spectacular" and "shock".

Now the lineup of the Cossack cavalry can be regarded as a real galloping horse. If the summer thunder is compared with the sound of horse hooves at this time, then the summer thunder is a witch.

If you observe carefully, you can even clearly see the tiny sand on the ground dancing strangely. The oppression brought by the galloping of thousands of horses almost makes people breathless. An officer in a khaki uniform in the horse formation stood proudly, and the commander of the Cossack Cavalry, Vit.
