Of course, the retreat of the 350,000-strong army is definitely not a matter of words. Even if it is just from the port of Ereli to Istanbul, it will take enough time, not to mention that the 350,000-strong army is not in the same place at all, starting from Dizce
, Akyaze, Gaiwe, and Izmit. The entire front stretches for more than 100 kilometers, from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. In addition, Ankara also has two armies.f,ww○w..co≌m
Kuropatkin took his lightly-armed general headquarters through the mountain road and sat in a car for a while, then boarded the Black Sea Fleet's landing ship and left, but the troops scattered in the back wanted to withdraw.
It wasn't that easy in the past.
In a sense, Kuropatkin abandoned the army and fled. Anyway, whether they can evacuate to the port of Ereli depends on the ability of the Russian troops. It is better to say that if they are close, they will abandon all the baggage wisely.
They gave up all the artillery, ammunition, cars and tanks. They even threw away machine guns and other things after playing a thorough game, and then fled into the mountains and forests one by one towards the port of Ereli, fifty kilometers away.
Those who were far away were dumbfounded. Like the Russian army in Ankara, they were still in the middle of a fierce battle. They abandoned the city and fled. The opposite side was a mechanized group. No matter how they escaped, they couldn't escape the tanks. Moreover, after leaving the city, the infantry were in the wild.
They were completely the opponent's meal. After some struggle, Ankara's two armies simply surrendered and were defeated.
At this time, another armored group had also arrived, and they directly used their speed advantage to insert into Bolu, blocking the retreat of the remaining 150,000 Russian troops. Here the Russians finally saw what real
Facing an iron wall with artillery as the core, tanks as fortresses, bombers as air support, and transport planes airdropping supplies, those Russian troops who were desperate to jump over the wall attacked crazily again and again and then fell in despair.
The Volunteer Army's tactics of drinking hatred and dipingli completely determined the fate of the Russians in this time and space.
For four days, 150,000 Russian troops failed to open the Bolu defense circle composed of two Chinese divisions at the cost of 50,000 casualties. When the Ottoman army led by Kemal and three other armored groups completed the encirclement
After that, the remaining Russian troops finally had no choice but to surrender. So far, the five Russian armies that had entered the Middle East were basically wiped out. Only Kuropatkin led less than 150,000 people to the Russian army in the port of Ereli.
Picked up by the Black Sea Fleet.
At the same time, China's Eighth and Twelve Group armies, which were attacking Transcaucasus, also occupied Tbilisi and Baku respectively. In fact, the Russian army had given up defense in this area, and the fighting was only fiercer in Baku.
Some, but when the liberators of Budapest Airport returned to Aleppo and took off from there to bomb the city, Baku's 30,000 Russian troops immediately and very smartly evacuated this world-famous oil field.
However, despite the brilliant victory achieved by the Chinese and Austrian armies, for the Allied Powers Group, what they wanted was also achieved. The US and British coalition forces closed the door for the Chinese to enter Europe in Istanbul, although there were still hundreds of thousands of people in Thessaloniki.
The Chinese Army, however, could only stand firm and unable to counterattack due to supply problems. Similarly, the Russian Army in the Caucasus region also closed the door. The Caucasus Mountains span this 500-kilometer-wide isthmus, and those snow-capped mountains are like city walls several thousand meters high.
The attacker's road was blocked by only two narrow passages on both sides of the coast. There was a Russian fleet on the Black Sea side, and only one army group was needed to block it firmly on the Caspian Sea side.
If these two points are defended, the Chinese Army on the southern front will never be able to enter Europe, and these two points can be completely blocked with only a small number of troops. This is a disadvantage for the Allied Powers group, which is at a disadvantage compared to China in terms of military strength.
It is undoubtedly perfect, and they can safely turn around and take care of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
As for the northern front, the violent snowstorms in Siberia are the best defense for the Russians, and Grand Duke Nicholas is still holding on to Chelyabinsk. Even if he falls there, the Chinese Siberian Front will not be able to continue to attack in the short term.
After the completion of this perfect strategic layout, representatives of the Allied Powers Group finally confidently asked for the restart of peace talks again in Stockholm. Representatives of the Allied Powers Group headed by China readily agreed. When the two sides sat down at the negotiating table. Representatives of the Allied Powers
After once again coming up with a slightly revised negotiation draft than the last time, they received an answer that was rejected by Wu Tingfang, the chief negotiator of the Allies and Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister.
The chief representative of the Allied Powers and the British Foreign Secretary Sir Gray are about to collapse. Why don't you agree? This is unscientific!
"Your Majesty, I think we have been very sincere. We have paid a total of one billion pounds in compensation, recognized your country's sovereignty over South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as the terms in the original negotiation draft. Russia ceded the Irtysh River, Tobol
All the territory east of the river. Isn't this enough to prove our sincerity? Isn't this not enough to meet your country's requirements?" He asked almost in a pleading tone. At this time, the British really didn't want to fight. They had done it before.
North America provides them with support. Now North America itself cannot protect itself, and support there has been cut off. Moreover, China's bombers have caused great panic among the people. No matter what, they must stop this war.
Wu Tingfang thought to himself, I also want to agree. Now that the conditions have been met, there is indeed no need to push for an inch. But the problem is that my words are useless. If the emperor does not agree, how can I dare to agree? The emperor is still waiting to play bomber
When it comes to washing the floor, how about removing the chessboard for him?
"Sir, please note that you are negotiating with 17 countries, including China. I am not representing only China. Your new negotiation draft must meet the requirements of all our countries, and you don't think this figure is good for compensation.
Is it ridiculous? We are proposing 30 billion pounds, are your one billion pounds used to humiliate us?" Wu Tingfang said calmly with a condescending expression.
"Your Excellency, your figure is a humiliation to us, right?" Sir Gray said almost through gritted teeth. There is no such bully. He wants to pay back 30 billion pounds, and it is 30 billion gold pounds, and it must be as before the war.
Do you know the gold content of the British pound? That’s 220,000 tons of gold. If you piled up all the gold in the world, would you weigh it?
Of course Emperor Yang knew that there was not so much gold in the world, and the total amount was estimated to be less than 200,000 tons a hundred years later. But since the British dared to offer more than 100,000 tons to Germany in World War I, why did he not dare to give it to the United Kingdom?
What about people offering 220,000 tons?
"A lot? Maybe this number is indeed a bit high, but it is not much compared to the harm you caused to the innocent Allied people by provoking this war. Since you have committed a crime, you must make compensation.
This is just compensation, and what’s more, we don’t ask you to pay all the compensation at once, you can pay it back in installments within sixty-six years.” Wu Tingfang said calmly.
"Your Excellency, I don't see your sincerity in negotiating at all. Since there is no need to continue our negotiations, I think we all need to calm down again." Sir Gray said through gritted teeth. He really needed to calm down again.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and strangle the old guy in front of him to death.
"Well, since you don't want to end the war, then just continue." Wu Tingfang said nonchalantly.
The third negotiation between the two major groups in Stockholm broke down again. The Allied Powers group, which was forced to a dead end, immediately launched a fierce attack on Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire again. Of course, this fierce attack was not at the same level as five years ago.
, the current total strength of the British is only more than 2 million, France has more than 1 million, North America has 500,000, Italy has less than 700,000, and Russia has less than 4 million. This is the last force they can mobilize.
No one can be squeezed out, and in these countries there are no young people except those with missing arms and legs.
Fortunately, their opponents are similar. The total strength of the German Army is less than 1.5 million. If you add the Netherlands, it can reach 1.5 million. The total strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army is only 1 million. The rest of the total strength is about 500,000.
These are all the young and middle-aged men in Europe who are capable of fighting. The war must continue. For the Allied Powers, there will be nothing if they don’t fight. For Germany and Austria, this is already the case, so they simply give up.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, please tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country that this period of time is what we must insist on. Our goal is not just to win this war, but also to win the future, to win a future where our enemies will not be seen for at least fifty years. I
In Asia, your country has an unrivaled advantage in Europe in the future. If you want to achieve this goal, we must completely destroy our enemies, not just on the battlefield, but also behind the battlefield. To put it simply, completely destroy their rear areas.
, their industry makes it impossible for them to get up in fifty years.
As for the method to achieve this goal, it is very simple. Bomb, bomb continuously, and blow all the industrial cities in Britain, Russia, France, and Italy into ruins, completely returning them to the Stone Age. Then we can look down on them from above.
.
Our bomber base in Georgia is under construction. Soon the first batch of Liberator bombers will take off from here to bomb all Russian cities within 1,600 kilometers. In addition, a base is also under construction in Izmir.
The liberators taking off there can destroy the main cities in Italy. In addition, there should be such a base in Prague. China will send bombers, and your country and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be responsible for the ammunition and fuel. From here, we can bomb all British cities, including of course
French cities, no more, three to four months are enough to achieve our goal." Emperor Yang pointed at the map and said to Haijing. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
