, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Zai Chun was the one with the most embarrassing status in the whole war. Originally, Xiao Letian didn't want to take him to the Far East, but he couldn't help Zai Chun teasing him.
At his age, he has gone through a series of military education, and is at the stage where he is full of curiosity about the battlefield. The previous few battles he watched were just small fights that did not quench his thirst. Although the scale of the battle on Amami Oshima was enough, The master didn't let him go to the island at all.
He must not miss this battle in Vladivostok in the Far East. This kind of opportunity for a battle with more than 100,000 elite troops on both sides is completely rare. Watching the battle once is better than reading the military book for a year.
Maybe Xiao Letian was afraid of Zai Chun being embarrassed. After all, the Far East used to be the territory of the Manchus. This time the Volunteer Army wanted to establish a country in the Far East. Zai Chun's identity was indeed embarrassing.
But no one expected that Zai Chun was more open-minded than Xiao Letian. He actually publicly recognized the legal status of the Volunteer Army and believed that the Volunteer Army was a righteous force that liberated the survivors of the Far East... This is very intriguing. Is this boy Zai Chun? Is it a disguised support for the founding of the Far East?
This is indeed the case. During the two years of studying with Xiao Letian, Zai Chun not only studied military, politics, economics and even international law.
At this time, Zai Chun had lost a lot of the traditional thinking that those who follow the land are not royal ministers. He also truly realized that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was not actually the emperor of all nations. Not only did others not piss on you, If there is a conflict of interest, they will beat you up.
If the land in the Far East is ceded, it is ceded. Whether you like it or not, a treaty is a treaty. If you want to abolish it, you must have the strength to abolish it. To put it bluntly, you have to outdo the other party.
Zai Chun has gradually become a strength-only person, that is, he only believes in Chi Guoguo's strength and does not believe in any illusory righteousness. In his eyes, anything invisible is fake.
The young man's mentality is somewhat extreme, which may be his undoing in the future, but Zaichun can understand it at this moment. If he wants to be the powerful Qing emperor, he must have a loyal army in his hands, and the establishment of the army requires weapons, funds, training... all of which rely on the strength of the master.
The Hunan Army in Jiangnan has to provide itself with part of the military expenditure, and the other part of the military expenditure has to be raised from the Jiangnan stock market. To put it bluntly, this money is the army-building expenses given to him by the master.
This kind of support will continue until he successfully inherits the great treasure, and when he can truly control the financial power of the Qing Dynasty, the milk will gradually wean off.
Zai Chun is a very thief. He will not offend his master before he succeeds. Using more than 400,000 square kilometers of land in the Far East in exchange for his success in controlling the entire Qing Dynasty, this deal is not appropriate.
After understanding this, he no longer struggled. Zai Chun walked to the table and said softly, "Why don't you put the river defense system in the north? Why not put it on the south bank of the Amur River?"
Zai Chun stretched out his hand and pointed directly to the Amur River, six hundred miles north of the map. "The mountains here are densely forested, and the Amur River is wide and fast. Isn't it better to set up an ambush here than on the Suifen River? With a strategic depth of six hundred miles, wouldn't Vladivostok be completely safe?" ?”
Wang Huaiyuan next to him coughed twice, "Cough cough...impossible! The Manchus and Qing Dynasties have opened the border defense line. The enemy will go south along the ice from the mouth of the Songhua River west of the Amur River. They will never take that route." of!"
Zai Chun shook his head, "Not necessarily! What if I can force them to take this path? How much longer do you think I will buy?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, "If His Majesty can really force Fadeev's follow-up reinforcements to take a long way to the Amur River, and according to the environment of that road, we can gain at least five more days of preparation time!"
There was a buzz, and people began to whisper to each other. Five days was enough for the Vladivostok volunteers to rush to the Amur River through sleds, carriages and other means of transportation. By then, explosives would be used to blast the ice of the Amur River, and the battle would be easier to fight.
"There are old forests along the Amur River, and there is plenty of wood. As long as we use local materials, we can build a continuous fortification in one summer. The enemy will not be able to attack it at all, but how could they come here!"
With a snap, Zai Chun slapped his hand on Ning Guta City. "The key point is still the deputy commander in chief! To tell you the truth, Hunchun and I have a secret connection. Do you think he is a loyal minister of the imperial court? In fact, he is not. Just before the Spring Festival, Hunchun has sworn allegiance to me, and now I can order him!"
Xiao Letian smiled slightly as if he was pleased with Zai Chun's decision. "It seems that Wang Huaiyuan is going to lend His Majesty some homing pigeons. Is the line of communication between you and Hunchun broken?"
Wang Huaiyuan shook his head, "Hunchun is not a fool. Even if he falls out with us, he will leave a way out for himself. There is always information communication... But I still have a question! Hunchun has a lot of soldiers in his hands, and they are all mixed up. We have a small hundred thousand soldiers, but which soldiers can stop the Cossacks?"
"Haha... It's not that I look down on the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Just now Yujiro Maeda also said that Hunchun on the banks of the Salin River tried to resist the Rakshasa ghosts, but his soldiers were no match for even 20,000 vanguards. He could block three Ten thousand Cossack heavy cavalry?”
"Even if he can block it, how long will it take for him to mobilize all the elites in Jilin and go north to the intersection of Songhua River and Heilongjiang? Will it be in time..."
"No, no, no..." Zai Chun shook his head violently. "Instead of using Jilin's soldiers, Ningguta will only use some elites! We can use Heilongjiang's soldiers! Let Heilongjiang's soldiers block all the ferries before the enemy arrives. There is no need for them to fight the enemy desperately, they just need to smash the ice along the river..."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed wildly, "Order Heilongjiang General Tepuxin? Hahaha, that coward and coward, how dare the successor recommended by Yishan have the courage, hahaha... Does he dare to go against the imperial court?"
Everyone laughed with great sadness and indignation. They had a good impression of General Hunchun present. At least this guy was a pure soldier. He was not so greedy when drinking soldiers' blood, and it was not so ugly to eat empty pay. He also had more or less training in the army on weekdays. .
The garrison in Ningguta still had rules, but Tepuxin was disappointed.
Tepuxin's previous general was the famous Yishan. It was this weakling who signed the humiliating Aihun Treaty. At that time, Tsarist Russia only took turns firing artillery attacks along the river to scare him into fully accepting Tsarist Russia's conditions, and large tracts of territory were ceded to vent their anger.
The subsequent Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing was actually the result of Tsarist Russia forcing the Qing government to accept the Aihui Treaty signed privately by Yishan. This incompetent coward can be said to be the main culprit for the fall of the Far East.
Note: The two most critical variables in the Far East war situation were actually two women who played the decisive factor! The first one has appeared, the Kirigakure kid, and her adventure changed the situation of the battle.
Later, there was another woman who also played an important role in the battle. Can you guess who she is?
