Of course, Vladimir and the others are also responsible for such a situation in Russia. William provides them with huge amounts of funds every year. Even if the finances are so tight, they have never been short of use by these people. These funds are all
Provided through the branches of the People's Bank of China in Germany and Russia, Emperor Yang knew this very well.
"Chaos, chaos is good. Only when one's own people kill one's own people is the most ruthless. Look at the French and our Hongyang Rebellion. Every time we didn't kill everyone, even the most tragic ones were bloody.
External wars cannot be compared with the efficiency of killing each other in the civil war. Russia has a population of 150 million. If they really have a civil war, it is estimated that the last 50 million will be easily wiped out." Emperor Yang said.
said.
In fact, Nicholas is also aware of the internal crisis he is facing, and is now working hard to resolve the crisis, including establishing the State Duma and supporting Prime Minister Stolypin in carrying out land reform. However, it is obvious that gradual reforms cannot satisfy those careerists.
And his prime minister is also a strong-armed figure who is unwilling to compromise with any dissenters, especially in this situation of internal and external troubles. He is more accustomed to using a noose instead of dialogue to deal with those who he believes
He only wants instability and does not want Russia's chaotic parties, so it will be difficult to alleviate conflicts. Even if his reforms have indeed benefited the country, as long as the careerists do not get the benefits, they will not admit that such reforms are beneficial to the country.
In the interests of the country, historically, when a bullet ended Stolypin's life, Russia completely lost hope.
Neither the mediocre Kokovtsov nor the talented but weak Witte could save the ailing Russian Empire, which needed a tsar-like strongman rather than democratic freedoms.
Of course, these are none of Emperor Yang's business. He just wants the Russians to bleed each other among themselves.
The exposure of troops in South America did not affect the strength of the Russian army in the European battlefield. After the arms purchased from China with Chinese loans continued to pour into Russia, Nicholas recruited another one million gray animals in the country, increasing the total strength of the Russian army.
It has reached a terrifying six million. A total of thirty armies have been organized. It is obvious that he is preparing to expand his tactics. The entire Allied Powers immediately became as excited as if they had been given blood. So far, neither Britain, France nor Italy have the ability.
If a large-scale offensive is launched again, domestic manpower resources have been exhausted. In the absence of breakthrough means, the attacker must pay several times the casualties of the defender, which means whoever attacks will be unlucky.
When the offensive casualties are too heavy and the country cannot meet the supply of troops, it will be difficult to maintain the original battle line. Therefore, during this period, the two sides were like two scolding thugs shouting at each other on the street.
Hit me! But no one leaves his trench.
At this time, a sharp increase in power on any front means a break in the balance. Historically, the Americans have played this role, but now it is impossible for the Americans, so Russia has no choice but to squeeze in.
In order to help Nicholas arm as many troops as possible, the British also scrounged up the last bit of funds at the bottom of the bank. They purchased large quantities of arms from China, Sweden, and the Confederacy and sent them to Russia continuously. One million was not enough. Why?
It would have to be two million. It was obvious that the entire Allied Powers group was going to work together to give Germany a final blow this time and strive to end this physically and mentally exhausting war before 1908.
The Allied Powers were heavily armed, and the Allied Powers naturally could not remain idle, but unfortunately the population gap between the two sides became apparent at this time. The five countries of Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and Portugal had a combined population of nearly 250 million, although they lost some territory and increased their population.
Some have died, but 200 million is still the minimum at this time. The Allies are far behind, and the combined total of Deokhiro and Heiho is only 100 million. And Argentina can't even count, and the Netherlands is still not in high spirits, so do the math.
That's a main force with a population of 100 million. The Allies can mobilize another 100 or even 2 million troops, but the Allies really can't squeeze out more people.
But if you can't squeeze out, you have to squeeze out. Otherwise, when Russia's newly formed army group is completed and then suddenly presses over, Germany and Austria will be in danger of collapse. The two countries immediately began to search for those who can go to the battlefield at home. If it doesn't work, they will
If the standards are relaxed, younger or older people will be fine.
Just when the two major groups were competing to squeeze their respective domestic military resources, a piece of news came that shocked them. China began to expand its army. Previously, China had always maintained an army of one million, and now it will expand its army by two million at a time.
, to expand the total strength of the army to three million. The meaning of this news is already obvious. China is also going to place a bet. Of course, before that, it depends on the outcome of the decisive battle between the two major groups. Whoever wins China will definitely win.
Which side to join to gain the maximum benefit with the minimum loss.
This was like a whip being raised, forcing the two major groups to spare no effort.
"China is a peace-loving country. Both I and the Chinese people look forward to the early end of this regrettable war, and we have made some efforts to this end, but unfortunately we have not seen anything gratifying so far.
Although there are many reasons for the result, it is also related to the fact that our efforts are not enough. Therefore, in the coming time, the Chinese government will make efforts to end the war in Europe in a more active way." As China
Foreign Minister Zhang Quan stated seriously that the news that China was about to join the war immediately spread around the world.
"There are no victors in European wars, because the victors are in the east." At the same time, in a mountain forest north of Florence, Italy, Fatty Qiu, holding a pipe and holding the rank of major, sat in a tent with a desolate face and listened.
According to the radio broadcast, he is now a battalion commander of the 11th Army of the British Army. After many days of fighting, his originally festive figure has shrunk significantly. Coupled with his full beard, he looks like a frustrated middle-aged man.
Uncle Nian.
Of course, he is now a frustrated middle-aged uncle. Not only is he frustrated, but he can also be said to be ruined. The Battle of Holland made him a joke throughout Europe, and the despicable ultimatum at the beginning also made his character a
A disgrace to the whole family, otherwise there would be no need to come to Italy. To put it bluntly, London can no longer accommodate him.
Just as he finished speaking to himself, a harsh whistling sound suddenly came, and Major Churchill raised his head in shock.
"Artillery attack!" Amid a series of horrified shouts, a 150mm grenade fired by Austrian artillery hit Major Churchill's tent. Two days later, The Times published an inconspicuous piece of news in an inconspicuous corner.
Of course, Major Churchill's name was quickly submerged in the vast list of those killed in action. Except for Emperor Yang in Beijing who sighed after hearing the news, even the upper class in London had basically forgotten this name.
Just as Europe was preparing for the final decisive battle, the Russian army heading to America finally arrived at the Panama Canal. Although the shareholders of this canal were all involved in the war, it did not affect its normal operation because employees from various countries were enemies of each other.
After the board of directors, and of course mainly Emperor Yang's decision, all the employees of the Panama Canal were replaced by Chinese. However, the annual profits were regularly paid into the accounts of various countries in the People's Bank of China, and then helped to turn them into various war materials and send them there.
As a neutral company, the passage of the Russian fleet will naturally not be subject to any restrictions. After entering the Caribbean through the Panama Canal, the Russian fleet went straight to the Dominican Republic, where it rested for a while and then was directly escorted by four battleships.
, and headed towards Colombia with great momentum.
At this time, the Colombians were also ready, and even the Venezuelan troops who came to help were already in place. The 250,000 troops from the two countries faced the Russian colonists. However, the two sides still have not declared war, which is also a helpless move. Colombia
They dare not declare war, because declaring war means that according to the alliance treaty, they have also become enemies of Britain and France. In the end, they can only go to the Allies. It is a fool to bet on either side at this time. On the other hand, Russia is supported by Britain and France.
Don't let Nicola declare war, because Nicola's declaration of war would be equivalent to pushing Colombia into the arms of Germany. The Argentine naval fleet is waiting to go north. Although it is far away, based on the sentiments of South American countries towards Russia at this time, Brazil will definitely
The British and German fleets in the Caribbean, which tried their best to help the Argentines move north, really couldn't defeat their two battleships and two heavy cruisers.
Just as the Russian fleet passed through the southern waters of Jamaica, the commander of this army, Lieutenant General Sablin, welcomed his old friend.
"Ah, Chen, what good things have you brought me this time?" Sabourin said, looking at Chen Wenqing who was boarding the battleship and the merchant ship behind him. As the Russian governor in Colombia, he and Jinyuan South America Branch
The general manager is also considered a confidant.
"It's nothing. Your country's Army Ministry has ordered a batch of urgently needed weapons for you in China. I'm afraid that it will delay your use, so I just asked you to get a batch from the Logistics Department of the Jinzhou Military Region first. How about this?
Are we friends enough?" Chen Wenqing said with a smile.
"What good stuff?" Sablin asked.
Chen Wenqing held his cigar in his mouth and puffed out a puff of smoke with some pride.
"Mustard gas?" Sablin's eyes widened. Although this thing is the standard equipment of the Russian Army, because it needs to be supplied to the European battlefield, neither his American army nor the reinforcements from the original Japanese army are equipped with it. He asked him before
The Colombians rushed back to the Dominican Republic from Medellin largely because there was no such thing.
Chen Wenqing smiled and nodded.
"How much?" Sabourin asked immediately.
"One hundred tons, half of the 150 mortar shells, half of the 105 howitzer shells, and I also got you 20 additional sets of flamethrowers, and this is only the first batch, and half of them will be sent from China later.
It will be delivered in a month." Chen Wenqing said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
