"Can we hold on? Can we hold on until the moment of diplomatic victory?" This question spread back and forth among the 20,000 expeditionary troops. There is no sense of keeping secrets in the moment of life and death. Exxon put the fate of the Tsar's Far East in the next few decades The grand strategy was completely revealed, and all the soldiers were so stunned that they forgot to cry. c
Wennia, Hermansky, Aixon and more officers left Jiaziku and walked among the soldiers. They put down their arrogant airs in the past, sat beside the soldiers themselves and began to comfort them and boost their morale.
"What are you afraid of? There are a total of 12 wells in the fortress. I have checked that they are all the sweetest well water, which is enough for our army to drink. Moreover, the military rations left in the fortress are enough for us to live frugally for a month. If you have food and drink, what are you afraid of?"
"Ammunition is indeed a problem, but think about it, would the great Tsarist warriors worry about ammunition? What are the bayonets in our hands for? Can't the fortifications around us protect us?"
"Two months later, one hundred thousand Cossack cavalry will definitely appear in the Far East. By then, Xiao Letian will have to start negotiations with us in despair. It won't even take two months. As long as the breakout warship can send the news to Beijing. , the diplomatic mediation will start soon, and we will be safe in more than a month!"
"Don't think Xiao Letian is a fool. He knows his own strength very well. Does he dare to go against the entire Western civilized world? Does he dare? As long as Britain, France and the United States start mediating, he will not dare to be cruel to us, and we will be safe. Got it!"
"I just want everyone to hold on, hold on to this mountain, hold on to the Chinese's earliest and craziest attacks, and drain their energy. Time is our best ally!"
When the officers' confidence is restored, the army's confidence will soon be restored. Countless soldiers have never seen so many majors, lieutenant colonels, and generals put down their airs like this, come to their side, and patiently analyze the situation in front of them. , and explained the Tsar's Eastern strategy extremely thoroughly.
They don’t understand the purpose of the Siberian Railway, nor do they know what the Great Wall of China represents, but their simple emotions tell their hearts that as long as it is what the Tsar said, it must be right, as long as it is a cause of expanding territory. That is absolutely correct.
The morale was restored bit by bit, and the collapse was as quick as the collapse, but the recovery was even faster. They are truly a nation born to fight.
Among them, Aikeson's talent is undoubtedly more prominent. He did not talk about those empty principles, but went to the crowd and talked to the soldiers in person about his hometown, life and destiny.
"Where is your home? On the Volga River? Oh, where I spent my childhood holidays, and the beautiful scenery is unforgettable to me!"
"What did you do before? A landowner's serf herding horses? What about you? A farmer? And what about you, the son of a miner?"
"God bless your parents. You must have suffered a lot in your childhood. Do you still want to continue living without freedom? Don't you want to? Then you should know what our Majesty has done for your happiness!"
In Aikeson's words, the various sufferings that Tsar Alexander II endured for the cause of abolition of slavery were described one by one. His father committed suicide by taking poison, and the new tsar ascended the throne in the ruins of the failed Crimean War. In front of him was a tattered and riddled tsarist Russia.
The huge empire did not have much of a railway network, let alone warm ports and golden waterways on the sea. Industrialization was progressing slowly, and the country did not even have enough food and clothing. All these burdens fell on the shoulders of the young tsar.
"Not only that, the Tsar also kindly wants to liberate you and all the suffering serfs in Tsarist Russia. What kind of boundless love is this? Even the Tsar is not willing to learn from the United States and use civil war to massacre the landlords. He cherishes them equally. All lives!”
"This is the redemption policy to save you! My dear comrades, you must be clear! Your Majesty does not redeem you when the treasury is abundant, but saves you when the pot cannot be opened!"
"How can we repay this kindness? Can we repay it in this lifetime? Not only do you no longer have the status of slaves, but your children and relatives will no longer have the status of slaves in the future. What a kindness this is."
Everyone's eyes turned red when Aikeson said it, and then the young major changed the topic, "If you want the empire to survive the crisis, what do you rely on? What do you do if you want to repay your kindness? Shouldn't we fight with our lives?" "
"Nine years ago, we cut off millions of kilometers of land from the weak Qing Dynasty. As a result, our Tsarist Russia's credibility in the international financial market immediately improved a lot. That year, not a single British banker reported to the empire. Debt collection!”
"In order to divert our current crisis, is there any way other than fighting and robbing other nations? No! There is no way at all. If we want the empire to survive the crisis and become stronger, we have to eat There is no other way to eat the meat of other ethnic groups!”
"The Americans have killed all the Indians, the Spanish have also killed all the South American natives, and the black slaves sold by Britain and France have turned the whole of Africa into a dead place. Why are they so strong? Isn't it because they have eaten the flesh and blood of countless foreign races!"
"We Tsarist Russia also want to survive, we also want to live, and live better! Only in this way can our descendants escape the fate of being slaves!"
Aikeson burst into tears. He held the hand of the crying soldier and said excitedly, "Would you like to fight not for others, just to repay His Majesty's kindness?"
"Even if you don't fight for His Majesty's kindness, why don't we continue to be slaves and fight for our descendants! We have no choice!"
Wuwuwu The tunnel suddenly burst into cries, "Fight! For the sake of Your Majesty and the Empire, we will fight to the last drop of blood!"
Nicholas' eyes were red and swollen, and the tin can he was holding was deformed. Without a can opener or a knife, he actually burst the tin can with his hands, and the meat juice flowed down the crack.
"Stop talking! We are all warriors carefully selected by His Majesty, and we will not show any cowardice! Today! On this mountain, let these Chinese people taste our power, and I will drain the last drop of their blood !”
Nicholas suddenly pointed his hand in the direction of the treasury behind him and shouted, "Gold, gold! Do you only have gold in your eyes? Do you know His Majesty's hardship now? Do you know the empire's suffering now?"
"Forget the greed and selfishness in your hearts! This is your Majesty's gold, this is your Majesty's land! It must not be left to the Chinese!"
"Yes! We can't leave it to the Chinese! We will fight to the end!" There was excitement in the trenches.
Aikeson jumped on a shell box and shouted, "There is no defensive position in the world. You can only defend it if you can attack it! Do you dare to follow me in a counterattack at night when the enemy is most relaxed?"
"Destroy the Chinese artillery positions, blow up their ammunition depots, and extinguish their will to fight! Let them tremble when they see our bayonets!"
"The whole army is recruiting dead soldiers, rush out! Die together with the enemy."
