Chapter 1757 The contradiction is irreconcilable
"From Kuznets Kaobarguzin to Yakutsk, everything was attacked. Lord Andrei's letter for help was almost sent. I don't think the Khitan attack on us was unplanned."
Tomoskei Chief Besnetsov was in a very pessimistic mood.
Before Gudnov arrived, he sent reinforcements in response to the attack on Kuznetsk. But it has been more than two months now, and there is no news at all.
This made him realize that the enemy was very powerful.
Gudnov was also a little numb.
Looking at the map, Besnetsov reported that the place was thousands of miles away.
And if such a vast area was attacked at the same time, even a fool would not believe that the empire had no premeditation.
"Moscow needs to do its best to solve the problem of the lower Dnieper River. It must stabilize the situation in the Far East no matter what. This is our job. Maybe if we operate it properly, there is still a chance."
After resting for half a month in Tomsk, Gudnov set off again after replenishing his supplies.
Since the Wehrmacht was discovered near Kuznetsk and the distance was close, he headed in that direction.
As a result, after walking for about fifteen minutes, I just arrived at the bank of the Yenisei River and saw some uniformed East Asian cavalry moving across the river.
Goodnoff recognized him immediately.
This is the regular army!
At the very least, it is impossible for Russian explorers to be so neatly dressed, and it is impossible for the indigenous people here to have such good clothes.
His guess was correct. On the other side of the river were the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division.
Seeing the appearance of the Russians, they quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
However, the two sides were separated by a large river hundreds of meters wide, so they couldn't fight at all. They were just on guard against each other.
"Report to the division headquarters immediately. The Russian on the other side has an unusual identity."
Just as Gudnov recognized the Wehrmacht, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Division also noticed something unusual.
Since fighting the Russians, all they have encountered are basically beggar-like Cossacks.
Although the Cossacks were brave and good at fighting, they were not the regular Russian army. They had various costumes and no organization at all.
The Russians across the river were wearing bright military uniforms with uniform uniforms and very sophisticated weapons and equipment.
Could it be that reinforcements from Moscow have arrived?
This conjecture made the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division a little nervous and surprised.
Because according to the speculation above, even if Russia wants to support the Far East, it will not be able to arrive until after next spring.
If it appears now, it will only show that Russia's mobilization ability is somewhat amazing.
Zuo Shi's division headquarters was just behind. After receiving the news, he did not dare to neglect and quickly led the fourth cavalry regiment to rush over first.
It was only when Lin Fang learned that it was a false alarm.
Because during this time, Gudnov had already sent people across the river with white flags to announce the purpose.
High-level officials from China and Russia held an informal meeting on the banks of the Yenisei River.
"General Zuo, Russia has no enmity with your country. Why does it invade our territory without any reason? Although Russia is big, not an inch of land is redundant."
As soon as Gudnov came up, he launched an army to accuse him.
Zuo Shi smiled contemptuously and immediately fought back.
"Russian territory is in Europe, but this is Asia. When did it become Russian territory?"
Gudnov was secretly shocked.
Originally, he thought that the empire was far away in East Asia and he didn't know much about the situation in Russia and the Far North, so he could use it to make a big fuss.
Unexpectedly, a mere military general actually revealed the history of Russia.
But with Russia's interests on his back, he naturally refused to give in.
"The land under our feet originally had no owners. After hundreds of years of development, we Russians have declared our sovereignty. This is a fact."
Zuo Shi decided to have a good fight with him.
"You are wrong. These lands originally had owners. They originally belonged to the Mongolian and Yuan Empire established by the Mongols, and the Mongolian and Yuan Empire is part of our Chinese history. In our China, the Ming Dynasty inherited the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty, and we The empire has inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, our empire has the right of succession to these lands. Your Russian approach is an unwarranted infringement of the empire’s territory. Here, I would like to inform you to immediately notify your country that from the empire’s territory We must withdraw from China, otherwise, the empire will take more drastic measures to pursue him."
Now that the empire has used force, what are the more drastic measures to pursue it?
Goodnoff was a little flustered.
He never expected that Zuo Shi would actually tell him about history.
He didn't know the history of China, but he knew the Mongols.
After all, Russia was once occupied by the Mongols and became a vassal state of the Golden Horde.
Wait, does it mean that according to Zuo Shi's theory, Russia has also become the inherent territory of Linguo?
Gudnov was a little annoyed.
"General Zuo's remarks are pure nonsense. What does the affairs of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire have to do with our two countries?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing his remarks, Zuo Shi was filled with joy.
It turns out that this senior Russian official did not know the detailed history of the Mongol and Yuan Empire!
In fact, after Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the throne, the remaining Mongol Khanates did not recognize the Yuan Dynasty and became independent countries one after another.
In other words, according to this fact, the empire naturally has no legal inheritance rights to the Western Siberia region.
But since the Russians didn't know, how could Zuo Shi not take the opportunity to solidify this relationship?
No one understands Zuo Mengeng better than him.
Zuo Mengeng wanted to go to Moscow to watch the sunrise, so it was definitely not casual.
Although it may not necessarily eliminate Russia, it will definitely drive Russia back to Europe.
After fully studying Lin Xing, Zuo Shi also believed that driving Russia back to Europe was the most correct approach.
This country is really too greedy for territory, and it actually found its way from such a piece of territory to the country of Lin.
If they are not punished, we know whether they will infiltrate the empire's territory.
Only by completely defeating Russia can the empire's northern frontier remain peaceful.
In Zuoshi's view, the Ural Mountains, Volga River and Caspian Sea became the western borders of the empire, which was the best plan.
The talks between the two sides ended on bad terms.
Of course, Zuo Shi was a frontline general and had no authority to make decisions on behalf of the empire.
He sent a company to escort Gudnov's delegation to the West.
This means that Zuo Menggeng happens to be in the Western Region, otherwise, he would have no choice but to go to Jinan.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
When they learned that the Russian delegation had come to negotiate, the generals below could not sit still.
Seeing their tangled expressions, Zuo Shi became furious.
"Look at your virtues. What does political negotiation have to do with us? Of course we will do whatever we have to do. Order the entire division to assemble and raid Tomsk."
Everyone was shocked.
"Don't you want to negotiate?"
"Is it against morality to take action now?"
Zuo Shi scolded him right away.
"A bunch of idiots, what can we achieve if this kind of negotiation doesn't last for three to five years? Besides, what can't be obtained on the battlefield, can we get it on the negotiating table? What we have to do is how much territory can we acquire before the agreement is signed? Conquer as much territory as you want.”
