Who is Xiao Letian's real opponent? In fact, they are the political elites of the Western powers that are currently leading the world, such as Bismarck, the Earl of Derby, Prime Minister Benjamin, as well as the monarchs, queens, and diplomats of the Western powers.
These politicians who are proficient in strategy are very powerful in their own right. They bite you like leeches and will not let go. What is terrible is that they have very powerful industrialized countries behind them.
This is like a shrewd and experienced poker player who still has a good hand. You basically can't find any flaws to deal with him. The only way is to avoid playing cards with them.
Xiao Letian has always managed his own power carefully, maintaining friendly business relations with the United States, entering into a paramilitary alliance with Prussia, and paralyzing the British with 120,000 respects.
Xiao Letian of the remaining countries has also tried his best to be polite and courteous, and will never rashly challenge the interests of other countries, including the declining Netherlands. Still very restrained and conservative.
The diplomatic principle that Xiao Letian follows is to unite a large group, paralyze a large group, and target one or two. Of course, it is best to target only one.
France is Xiao Letian's first opponent. In fact, this is not accurate. France is not Xiao Letian's enemy. Xiao Letian's enemy is actually just the French Emperor Napoleon III.
In fact, Xiao Letian just wanted to get involved in the Franco-Prussian War and get a piece of the delicious soup that was exclusive to the victors.
Tsarist Russia is Xiao Letian's second opponent at the moment, because Xiao Letian needs the Far East, and the Chinese need resources such as coal, iron, non-ferrous wood, etc. outside the customs in the future.
In addition, Xiao Letian will never set up a third opponent. He knows his own strength very well. If the Chinese can maintain their current sphere of influence, they are already in danger. If they are not careful, they will be in a doomed situation.
Xiao Letian sighed and actually shuddered. He was also shocked by the picture he painted. If the situation really developed according to Xiao Letian's plan, it would really be a disaster.
"If...if the situation really develops to that stage, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty seeks diplomatic arbitration from Wanguo..."
"Don't look at me like that. I think the Manchus will definitely do this because they are wronged! Because they are obviously not the backstage bosses of the Volunteer Army, but they are being treated like shit. They must be wronged and must distinguish..."
"At that time, representatives from Britain, France, the United States, Austria, and the Chinese, Manchus, Tsarist Russia, and the Volunteer Army will gather together. Even the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries will send observers to mix in... …”
"By then, this war will have changed! Especially the old foxes from Britain, France and other countries, they will not miss this great opportunity, and they will even dispatch some troops for military intervention..."
"What will happen to Vladivostok even if it is in the hands of the volunteers? If the world does not recognize it, it will not be independent. If Tsarist Russia does not let go, the war will not be over. The longer the time goes by, the 'regulation' fleet sent by the Western countries will There will be more and more, and I don’t know who will win by then!”
Xiao Letian patted Fadeyev on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "More importantly, once diplomatic negotiations begin, the war will be suspended. You will have a far-fetched excuse to station troops on the Mongolian grasslands. Anyway, you can No more deaths for a while..."
"Time is so important to you, Tsarist Russia. A diplomatic negotiation can be said to be protracted, and it can last half a year or a year...We will get through the late spring and cold April, usher in the early summer, and enter the golden autumn..."
"How many infantry troops can Tsarist Russia mobilize from Western Europe to support us here in half a year? Fifty thousand? Or seventy thousand?"
"Fuck, if you Fadeev has 50,000 Cossacks and 50,000 infantry, you can't go sideways in the Far East? What are you afraid of when supplies are sufficient? Heilongjiang and the Amur River can still stop you. Really? The engineers have time to build the pontoon bridge now..."
"Hmm... With your shameless energy, you will definitely launch an attack during the stalemate stage of negotiations. As long as you think you are strong enough to capture Vladivostok, you will tear apart all hypocritical masks and launch an attack on Vladivostok to create a fait accompli. …”
"Anyway, you have the China-Russia-Beijing Treaty in your hands. If Vladivostok is taken back by you, no one else can say anything in terms of international law!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Xiao Letian said in shock, "Look, wouldn't this situation be broken without many deaths? Of course, the few defenders in Vladivostok must have been sacrificed... But that has nothing to do with you. What does it have to do with Jeev?”
"On the contrary, the defeats of Diachenko and Aitorin can bring out the glory of your victory! In this way, your status in the eyes of the Tsar will be greatly improved!"
"From a tactician to a strategist, do you think you will be promoted and make a fortune? With this victory, you will have hope as a marshal in this life, hahaha..."
Amidst Xiao Letian's sarcastic laughter, Fadeev turned extremely pale, and suddenly he shouted, "God! Why did you send such a devil to torture us... It was not the fault of the war, this failure was not our fault at all." The failure of a soldier... He is not human, poof..." A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Fortunately, Xiao Letian hid quickly, otherwise his brand-new marshal uniform would have been stained by the spray. Dr. Buck rushed forward to help Fadeev treat him regardless of his past grudges.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the curtain, and the newly named Tian Wushuang shouted, "I found the military flag, I found the double-headed eagle flag! Dedicate it to the Prime Minister..."
A group of people rushed in under the cold wind. The two huge military flags were covered with blood and stains, and there were damages and footprints on the edges.
The once extremely proud military flag was now hanging upside down on the ground, being dragged in from the outside by Ye Qiu and the others.
This was really the last straw that broke the camel's back. As soon as Fadeyev saw the two military flags, his eyes suddenly blackened, and another mouthful of black blood spurted out with a pop, and he fainted directly to the ground.
"God's punishment... This devil is the punishment of Tsarist Russia! He is our punishment..." Before his consciousness dissipated, Fadeyev only had these words in his mind.
The snipers looked at the unconscious Fadeyev and wondered what had just happened. Xiao Letian shook his head and walked out of the curtain, followed closely by the guards of the Prime Minister's Guard and several secretaries and adjutants.
"Prime Minister... is everything you said today... true? Is this really possible?" the lieutenants asked in horror.
Xiao Letian nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, in fact, victory and failure are just two sides of a piece of paper. We almost fell into the abyss..."
