Now the entire war with Tsarist Russia has actually entered a white-hot state.
After Lake Balkhash was captured by Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia quickly sent additional troops to Lake Balkhash.
Now the number of Tsarist Russian soldiers here exceeds 250,000!
It can be seen that Peter the Great is absolutely determined to win this war against Long Yan!
His army had begun to slowly break away from the war with the Ottoman Empire and moved to Long Yan's side.
Peter's foresight aroused Liu Zheng's vigilance.
He came here just for himself!
He came here for Long Yan’s entire technology tree!
All this fermentation and accumulation of jealousy are due to only one reason, and that is the development of science and technology in Yintan City, including the appearance of the train, and the chemical fertilizers that have appeared in Liangzhou at this time!
It is impossible for Peter not to collect this information.
fertilizer!
The emergence of chemical fertilizers has once again led to the explosion of agricultural science and technology. This thing is amazing. It can be said that after using chemical fertilizers, the grain yield that used to be fifty dan per mu can be increased several times! In a barren land like Liangzhou, after the use of chemical fertilizers, its food production capacity took off and it became self-sufficient! In the past, most of Liangzhou's food had to be imported!
Not to mention the land of Liaodong.
Now it is the Beidacang of the country!
Speaking of which, what is the most important resource for a country? Food, food, food! This is the foundation of a country. If you can’t even feed the troops and the people, what kind of development are you talking about, what kind of country are you talking about, what kind of political power are you talking about?
And Tsarist Russia.
What we are facing at this time is such a situation.
In such a large country, there is not much land suitable for growing food.
In the cold and freezing Tsarist Russia, food is the biggest problem.
In Liu Zheng's memory, Tsarist Russia in his previous life was the world's number one exporter of wheat, but that was achieved through the use of modern fertilizers and a lot of technology.
Today’s Tsarist Russia…
It is a desperately poor country!
so.
Liu Zheng actually only needs one way to curb the development of Tsarist Russia!
fertilizer!
Control the fertilizers!
Today, the only countries in the world that can develop chemical fertilizers are Longyan and Liangzhou!
Liu Zheng meant that no matter what, Tsarist Russia could not be allowed to pass through the Western Regions and reach Liangzhou! Liangzhou is his base camp.
and……
He has another idea!
For a large country like Tsarist Russia, there is only one way to prevent them from posing a continuous threat to Longyan!
drag!
protracted war!
This requires a lot of knowledge and a lot of concepts, which are integrated together to come to a far-sighted conclusion. In other words, it was clear that this war could be ended quickly, but Liu Zheng was unwilling. Just to keep the troops of Tsarist Russia in Lake Balkhash! Two hundred and fifty thousand now?
good.
Then fight!
Keep fighting!
Fight until they increase their troops by 300,000, 400,000, 500,000...
The current standing army of Tsarist Russia is about one million.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The key thing is that Liu Zheng knew that Tsarist Russia was short of food! The whole country is short of food! They simply cannot withstand the consumption of a long war! They have no money!
And relatively speaking.
Long Yan has plenty of money and food.
This year, Yintan City's chemical fertilizers have begun to be promoted across the country. Under the catalysis of chemical fertilizers, the grain harvest will surely double! In contrast, after Tsarist Russia entered the Little Ice Age, food would be even more difficult!
This goes on.
Long Yan can withstand this battle.
But Tsarist Russia cannot afford it!
Liu Zheng wants to consume Tsarist Russia in Balkhash Lake!
This was the only way he could think of to deal with Peter the Great, the only emperor of all time! Because he knew that after the death of Peter the Great, there would be Catherine II! These two are fierce men. If you want to prevent them from posing any threat to Long Yan, you can only start with national strength!
Make bricks without straw!
That’s what I’m talking about!
How did the Soviet Union collapse in its previous life?
And that’s even when there’s no war!
cold war!
Arms race!
Liu Zheng, this time, wants to defeat Tsarist Russia without attacking!
This side has been consuming Tsarist Russia, leaving their national power empty, so that they can free up their hands to develop in other directions! Even cut directly into Europe!
Zou Sheng also received this order from Liu Zheng a long time ago.
Zou Sheng was naturally shocked by Liu Zheng's thoughts. He didn't have the slightest doubt.
"protracted war!"
Zou Sheng glanced at the generals contemptuously and said lightly.
"What?"
"this……"
"General Zou, are all you people from Liangzhou so cowardly?"
"Why not just drive the Russians out!"
"that is!"
"We obviously have the strength!"
"Hahahaha, are these the soldiers led by Liu Shilang?"
"How cowardly!"
It’s hard for a group of people to understand.
Zou Sheng ignored them.
He looked down at the sand table.
After Lake Balkhash was captured by Rumyantsev, Long Yan still obtained information about their strength. He carefully studied Tsarist Russia's military configuration and the opponent's defensive formation at this time.
have to say.
Rumyantsev's ability to become Field Marshal of Tsarist Russia was definitely not in vain.
He demonstrated his military talents everywhere in tactics, tactics, and defense.
but……
Zou Sheng smiled lightly.
He was afraid that Rumyantsev was not serious.
What he wants is the serious attitude from the other side. As long as he takes it seriously, he will fall into Liu Zheng's trap. Lake Balkhash will become a nightmare that brings down the entire Tsarist Russia.
Rumyantsev does not know now.
Of course Peter the Great didn't know either.
Naturally, these stupid generals didn’t know either.
Looking at the formation that Rumyantsev put up at this time, Zou Sheng could tell that Rumyantsev wanted to resist Long Yan's counterattack, but also wanted to continue to invade Long Yan!
He smiled.
He immediately made up his mind and looked around: "Generals, if you are not convinced, is there anyone willing to preside over this battle?"
His smile was full of mystery.
A group of people looked at each other.
Then, everyone became excited.
Four hundred thousand versus two hundred and fifty thousand, plus various bonuses for advanced weapons and equipment! Isn’t this battle difficult to fight?
"I come!"
"No, I'll do it!"
"Me me me!"
These generals are all generals under their respective lords, and all of them are here to gain military glory! When I heard this, I was naturally very excited.
Coupled with the contempt for Zou Sheng just now, when they heard this, they all rushed to grab it.
They even got into a fight over it!
Zou Sheng was watching from the side, smiling and saying nothing.
at last.
A general from Jingchu took over this task.
The whole person was so excited that he almost jumped up. After giving Zou Sheng a contemptuous look, he began to give instructions.
Let him play...
A light flashed in Zou Sheng's eyes.
That's right.
He wants to lose a few battles!
Let the Tsarist Russian army go deeper into Long Yan!
