Just as the four mechanized groups of the Chinese Army were rushing towards Sakarya on the Anatolian Plateau at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per day, the distant South African battlefield also came to an end, and the last British stronghold began.
Cape Town was captured by the South African army, and the remaining 20,000 British troops surrendered. The last obstacle for the Chinese navy to bypass the Cape of Good Hope and march into Europe was kicked away.
Of course, this road is still not very smooth, and it is still very far away. It is much farther than the Suez Canal route. But the problem is that the mines in the Red Sea are almost desperate. According to the estimation of the Chinese Navy minesweeping fleet there, at least
There is still a year to clear the mines laid by the British. In addition, the Suez Canal channel also needs to be cleared. There are dozens of sunken ships in it, and these sunken ships are not as simple as scuttling. They are all filled with sand or even concrete.
They were scuttled, which also caused great difficulties for salvage. Even the personnel responsible for salvage felt that it would be easier to bypass these sunken ships and dig an extra piece of the channel to the side.
In this case, no one will rely on this canal before the end of the war.
Going north from Cape Town, you also need to solve a series of intermediate supply ports, such as Luanda, Lagos, Freetown, and Dakar, and then go to Spain, using Spain as an offensive base to attack Britain and France. There are other
It's easy to say, although there are some garrisons, the number is pitifully small. A division can push it. However, Dakar is different. There is also a French fleet and a naval base there. Of course, these are under the powerful Chinese aircraft carrier formation.
In front of him was a scum-like existence. At this time, Emperor Yang finally found the domineering spirit of later generations of Americans. If there was a problem, he first asked where the aircraft carrier formation was.
Moreover, he now has two aircraft carrier formations, both of which are dual aircraft carriers, and the fifth and sixth aircraft carriers are expected to be in service near the end of the war. The Dingzhen formation has returned to the military port for overhaul after completing the Australian operation and completed the overhaul.
After that, it will sail directly to the Americas to participate in the operations against North America and Australia. The Jingzhi formation will go directly north to Europe after completing the operation in South Africa. In addition, the Huaxia and Yanhuang ships will also lead an expedition fleet to set sail for reinforcements. The Chinese Navy will use the final
The powerful lineup dominates Europe as a king, showing off to Europeans the majesty of the new maritime hegemon.
In Yekaterinburg, the first snow of this winter finally arrived, but the violent snowstorm did not bring any psychological comfort to the Russian troops defending the city, because the city was about to fall. The reason was simple: there was no food left.
In order to supply a series of battles from Omsk to Kurgan some time ago, Grand Duke Nicholas looted almost all the food in this area. There was actually no food left in either Yekaterinburg or Chelyabinsk. However, although the latter was attacked
Continuous bombings cut off the supply of the Trans-Siberian Railway, but the problem is that they still have the water transportation and roads of the Ural River to provide a small but manageable supply. In addition, as the main transfer station to Kurgan, there are also
A certain amount is stored.
But this is not possible in Yekaterinburg. After the railway to Perm was bombed, the supply here was completely cut off. Even soldiers and civilians rushed to the city with 300,000 yuan, which required a large amount of food every day. Now I am hungry.
The Russian people began to catch rats to eat. Moreover, the continuous bombing destroyed most of the buildings in the city. Although the bombing was temporarily suspended due to the snowstorm, and the Chinese soldiers who were not accustomed to this environment were all wrapped up.
Wearing fur coats plundered from all over the world, they hid in their duck down sleeping bags and tents to avoid the cold. But the problem was that the Russians did not have the good conditions they had. The Russian people squatting in the ruins and hiding in the cold fortifications
It is no longer uncommon for soldiers to cry to death in the wind and snow.
Suffering from hunger and cold. Fighting with a lack of guns and ammunition, and the despair of not seeing the future, the morale of the Russian troops guarding the city fell to the bottom. The courage to defend the country at the beginning has long since disappeared, and now the most they can think about is
How to survive, and during this period the Chinese have been constantly trying to persuade them to surrender. There is an example of the Russian army in Kamensk. The Russian army here is swaying like foxtails in the wind.
A corner of a room in the city was missing, and all the windows were blown away. In the headquarters, which could only be blocked with rags, the commander of the Russian Seventh Army, General Dukhov, was sitting at his desk with a group of generals feeling worried.
Hundred knots.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we can't go on like this. Last night, a total of 250 people, including 30 soldiers, died of freezing and starvation in the city. If this continues, the situation will definitely get worse," an officer said sincerely.
said.
"What did Perm say?" Dukhov asked expressionlessly.
"It was impossible to repair the railway. After the snow fell, the road was completely blocked, and it was difficult even for trucks to drive over. Moreover, the railway leading to the rear was also bombed and it was difficult to repair it in a short time. In the past, it was all relying on
The Kama River is transported by water, but after the Kama River freezes, no one can guarantee how much supplies will be transported to Perm. Moreover, the Chinese bombers will definitely be dispatched again after the snow, and even if there is no problem with transportation, food collection from the rear
It is becoming more and more difficult. It is said that even people in Moscow are starving to death, which means that even in the best case scenario, our food shortage will definitely continue." The officer said with a wry smile.
"Your Excellency, Commander, surrender. I have been fighting for five years. Two of my three sons have died, and none of my two sons-in-law is left. I know that I have to fight for the country and the Tsar, but now that I have reached this point, I really
I don’t want to fight anymore, if you still want to persist, then I would rather commit suicide." A major general cried.
"Commander, six officers and fifteen soldiers committed suicide yesterday." The officer just now provoked Dukhov again.
Poor General Dukhov looked up at the cracked roof that was shaken by the bomb, struggling between honor and life. At this moment, there was a burst of fierce gunfire outside. The generals all stood up subconsciously and stood up.
Despite his nervous expression, Dukhov said expressionlessly: "If the Chinese are going to launch an attack, will it be the sound of gunshots?"
A group of generals immediately felt relieved, and their expressions became a little more relaxed. Indeed, if the Chinese were to attack, they would first be bombers that would cover the sky and the sun, and then they would be roaring rocket launchers. How could they be submachine guns?
But soon a lieutenant colonel ran into the headquarters in panic and said: "Commander, the workers in the city are looting food and are fighting with our warehouse guards."
"These bastards, don't they know when this is?" Dukhov shouted angrily.
"They say that Russia is the Russia of the Czar, not classless Russia." The officer said weakly. As he spoke, the gunfire seemed to become more and more intense, and there was more than one gunshot.
"Commander, why are we fighting?" a general shouted angrily.
The muscles on Dukhov's face twitched a few times and he suddenly said: "Go and invite Mr. Larson."
Half an hour later, Swedish businessman Larsson was invited to the Yekaterinburg garrison headquarters. Another half an hour later, the smiling businessman returned to his home under the escort of a group of soldiers. He first sent a telegram and then started.
He drove his car and an officer out of the city and disappeared into the area controlled by Chinese soldiers. The next morning, the nearly 100,000 remaining Russian troops in Yekaterinburg, led by their commander, walked out of their defense lines and headed towards the Chinese side on the opposite side.
The Ninth Army surrendered.
At the same time, in Stockholm, Sweden, Comrade Vladimir smiled and said to Lin Zhongying: "Your Excellency, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor has received our first gift?"
The surrender of Yekaterinburg caused great shock in Russia. This city named after Her Majesty the Empress in their history is the first gate to the real core area of the empire. From here to the west through the forests of the Ural Mountains, the Chinese will
The troops were directly approaching the banks of the Volga River, and the war was about to burn into the heart of Russia. At this time, Nicholas really felt fear.
"Are you kidding? How is it possible that just by her telegram, I want to save millions of square kilometers of land? If I said the Volga River should be the boundary, then the Volga River should be the boundary. Our friendship is the same thing. This
It's another thing to take care of national affairs." Emperor Yang said with a sneer.
Nicholas asked Emperor Yang's old lady to send him a letter through the Swedish Ambassador to China, in which he proposed that the two sides could use the Tobol River and the Irtysh River as the dividing line, and all the east part would belong to China. In this way, in practice
On the basis of the original conditions, Russia has moved back another 500 kilometers. Russia still retains a sufficient buffer zone east of the Ural Mountains. Of course, it is just a buffer zone, but even so, Yang Feng firmly disagrees.
.
Although his psychological bottom line is the line between the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the Caspian Sea. Of course, it would be better if he can advance to the Volga River. If that doesn't work, he can accept this line. But the key is that he is still thinking about bombing Russia. What if the bombing hasn't started yet?
It might be over here, and besides, Comrade Vladimir and the others haven't taken action yet. If you want to trap him, you're going to die. At least, you have to blow up all the major industrial cities in Russia first, and then Comrade Vladimir kills Nikolai.
, if I intervene again under the pretext of avenging Nicholas, it would be best to get one of Nicholas's children over at that time, and then after Vladimir is killed, the prince or princess can be promoted to the position of tsar. This way,
It's truly perfect.
This is the main reason why he suddenly and kindly persuaded the Russian army on the battlefield to surrender recently. He has to reserve enough manpower for his future White Army. So far, he has surrendered almost 300,000 people, and there are another 20
Basically, that’s about 10,000. (To be continued...)
