After the crazy order of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II was issued, the chariots of the whole Russia began to operate, countless farmers, as well as some craftsmen and workers in the cities were conscripted into the Russian army, and at the same time, Britain and France continued to send batches of weapons and equipment to Russia, and Russia's own domestic arsenals also worked overtime to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment.

Russia's original four newly formed group armies are still in the process of being integrated, so they have begun to form 10 new group armies at one time, and looking at Russia's posture, 10 group armies are not the limit.

It is impossible for the Chinese Empire not to know that in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, summoned Wang Yan, prime minister of the cabinet, Wu Peifu, minister of national defense, Jiang Hui, vice minister of national defense, and Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, to the palace.

Lin Daxin sat on the throne in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, crossed Erlang's legs and said to Li Kun: "Tell my cousin, Ziyu and Jiancheng about the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau." "Completion is Jiang Hui's expression.

Li Kun then said: "Our military intelligence bureau has obtained accurate information, the British and the Russians reached an agreement not long ago, will give the Russians a huge amount of 30 million pounds of money free of charge, the French will also give the Russians nearly 30 million pounds worth of francs, part of which is free of charge, Britain and France will be in the form of weapons and equipment to cash to Russia, and the Russian Tsar Nicholas II will use these funds and weapons and equipment to form a group army of 10 Russian armies again, Even Tsar Nicholas II demanded from the Russian War Ministry that the formation of an army group of 10 Russian armies was only his minimum requirement! ”

Wu Peifu, minister of national defense, listened to Li Kun's words. frowned and said: "It seems that the Russian tsar is going to break the kettle and fight to the death with our Chinese Empire!" It is another group army of 10 armies, and it is completely a posture of fighting for attrition. In this way, together with the four new army groups that Russia had just formed, they had just formed. The Russian army will reach at least 27 group armies, and the strength of the army will also reach an astonishing 8 million or more, the emperor and the minister think that our Chinese Empire cannot give Russia more time to complete this large-scale expansion, otherwise as soon as the war starts, the royal army of our Chinese Empire will face a very severe test! The minister thought that we should immediately attack Russia and disrupt the wishful thinking of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II. ”

Jiang Hui, vice minister of the Ministry of National Defense, continued: "At present, the establishment of our Imperial Chinese Army is divided into three major guard armies, ten field armies, 45 garrison armies and five independent cavalry divisions, with a total strength of 4.3 million. Although it far surpasses the Russian Army in terms of combat effectiveness, our Royal Army of the Chinese Empire still needs to deal with the British in the southwest and the Japanese in the east, if the number of the Russian Army really reaches an astonishing 8 million, we are likely to be overstretched in the war against Russia, so the minister suggested that our Chinese Empire should also expand the size of the army to deal with the imminent war. ”

Prime Minister Wang Yan sighed: "I didn't expect the Russian Tsar Nicholas II to be so resolute this time, isn't he afraid of Russia's defeat again." Is it possible for the whole of Russia to perish? ”

Li Kun said at this time: "According to the information obtained by our military intelligence agency in Russia, the reason why Russian Tsar Nicholas II has such courage to break the boat this time is because he listened to the prophecy of a favored minister called Rasputin, who predicted the outbreak of war between China and Russia. The final victory will belong to Russia. ”

Wang Yan shook his head helplessly and said: "Feudal superstition kills people!" ”

Lin Daxin sneered and said, "Since that Tsar Nicholas II wants to go crazy, then I will have a good time with him, Ziyu." What is the current situation of the army's strength in the provinces of Andong and Ansi, which are adjacent to Russia? ”

Wu Peifu replied: "Your Majesty, at present, in Andong Province, except for the garrison of Andong Province, which has reached 120,000 troops, it has been stationed near the border line. In addition, the 7th, 8th, and 3rd Guards armies in Andong Province also arrived near the border line, and the Anxi Provincial Garrison, the 9th Field Army, and the 10th Field Army, which had 110,000 troops in Anxi Province, also arrived near the border between Anxi Province and Russia. All kinds of war materials have also been delivered to the hands of the troops along the border line, the air force has also deployed more than 500 fighters and bombers at the airfield near the border line, and the Fifth Field Army and the Sixth Field Army have also arrived in Andong Province and Anxi Province respectively, these two field armies will be used as war reserves, and now everything is ready, as long as the emperor gives an order, the million Royal Army of the Chinese Empire on the Sino-Russian border will cross the border line and take the lead in launching an attack on Russia. ”

Lin Daxin pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "Since the troops are in place, then we don't need to be polite, today is August 12, 1908, the Ministry of Defense issued an order to all troops on the Sino-Russian border, and three days later, that is, on August 15, a full-scale attack on Russia will be launched!" ”

Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui shouted excitedly at the same time: "Yes!" Emperor! ”

Lin Daxin continued: "In addition, the number of guards and field armies in our Imperial Chinese Imperial Army is still too small, and the 45 provinces guarded by 45 garrison armies, most of which are inland provinces, have a very small chance of facing war, so I am ready to take the opportunity of the outbreak of war with Russia, transfer personnel from the garrison army, plus the heavy weapons we have hoarded over the years, and newly form the 11th Field Army to the 20th Field Army, a total of 10 new field armies, and newly form the Fourth Guards Army and the Fifth Guards Army. The vacancies of the two new Guards Corps, drawn from the garrison, were appropriately supplemented according to the situation in the provinces, and these additional sources were called up from the reserves. ”

Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui were even more excited, and shouted in louder voices than just now: "Yes!" Emperor! ”

Wu Peifu then said with an irrepressible smile on his face: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, the heavy equipment produced by several major arsenals of the empire has been piled up in the reserve warehouses of the army, and it is time to expand the heavy equipment units of our army!" ”

Jiang Hui also said: "The officers and soldiers who are transferred from the garrison do not need to go through retraining, as long as they are equipped with some professional troops. The newly formed 10 field armies and 2 guards corps can be formed in the shortest possible time. And those professional classes can also be selected from the garrison. Although there were not many heavy weapons in the garrison, there were many officers and men who could use them. ”

Lin Daxin had already had a plan to expand the field army and the Guards, so he ordered several major arsenals of the Chinese Empire to increase the production of heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, and hoard them in preparation for army expansion.

For example, the garrison is equipped with tanks and armored vehicles in varying quantities, depending on the situation in each province, and in consideration of the need for future wars, the garrison will train pure infantry. Let these pure infantry reach the level of quasi-armored and quasi-artillery, and now it is necessary to expand the field army and the guards army, as long as the heavy equipment is in place and the newly formed troops are run in for a period of time, they can be declared officially an army.

Lin Daxin sat on the throne in the main hall, put down the upturned Erlang's legs, and then stood up and said to the four important ministers of the Chinese Empire: "This time we will preemptively strike at Russia and start a war, and if we don't get it, we will involve Britain and France." In addition, Japan in the east may not be stable, so we must be prepared for a big war, and after the outbreak of the war against Russia, the entire empire will revolve around the war. ”

It was just before 8 o'clock in the morning on August 15, 1908. In a dugout of a trench on the coast outside the city of Novosibirsk, Russia, west of the Ob River, 40-year-old Vitalaevich said to Ilyich, who had just reached 30 years old, "Boy, have you heard? His Majesty the Tsar is ready to get real this time! It is necessary to form a new army force of several million. Prepare for war against the Chinese Empire! ”

Vitalaevich and Ilyich during the battle in the city of Yakutsk, an important town west of the Lena River. Very interestingly, he chose to surrender to the attacking Dingbei Army, and did not lose his life in the losing war of Russia. After Russia signed an armistice agreement with Lin Daxin and ceded land and paid compensation, Vitalaevich and Ilyich, as prisoners of the Russian army, were released by the Dingbei Army and returned to Russia along with hundreds of thousands of other Russian officers and soldiers captured by the Dingbei Army.

Russia has nothing to embarrass about these captured Russian officers and soldiers, but has reincorporated these captured Russian officers and soldiers into the Russian troops, and the number of Russian troops has continued to expand over the years, and the Russian army has lost relatively large numbers in the last war.

Ilyich sighed and said: "I really don't know what the tsar thinks, in the past, our Russian army couldn't even defeat the Dingbei Army, but now the more powerful Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, can our Russian Army defeat!" I think that if the war really breaks out, it will be us Russia who will lose in the end! ”

Vitalaevich looked at the door of the bomb shelter and there were no outsiders passing by, and said in a low voice: "Boy, be quiet, talk about His Majesty the Tsar behind your back, let people hear and poke out, and you will suffer!" ”

Ilyich said indifferently: "This fortification is guarded by our company, how dare anyone beat my little report!" And this matter has already spread in the army, and many people do not approve of the tsar's approach, and it is not that I myself have this idea. ”

Vitalayevich continued: "I heard that this time Britain and France gave us tens of millions of pounds in gratuitous aid to Russia, so that the tsar could rearm for war, maybe some miracle will happen this time!" ”

Ilyich said with a wry smile: "Our company is on the front line of the border between the two sides, as long as the war breaks out, even if there is a miracle, it will not reach us, our company may be one of the first troops to contact the war, I hope God bless us can live safely until after the war." ”

Vitalaevich walked to the entrance of the air-raid shelter, saw that there was no one else around, turned his head to Ilyich and sighed and said: "Counting the prisoner of war career a few years ago, I have been captured twice by the army of the Chinese Empire on the other side of the Ob River, can I not know how powerful they are!" It's a pity that our Tsar's Majesty doesn't think so, since you kid already knows the strength of the enemy, it's still the same sentence, when the war starts, you kid learn to be smarter, don't be stupid! ”

Ilyich said with a tangled face: "Will we surrender directly like the last time when the fight starts?" That's so depressing, but I want to be a general, so I can't take the initiative to be a prisoner as soon as I fight! And now we are not 2 people, there are more than 100 brothers following us! ”

Vitalaevich walked up to Ilyich, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Boy, it's better to save your life first, and then go to your dream of being a general!" As for the rest of the company, I believe they are also willing to cherish their lives! ”

Ilyich smiled bitterly and said: "When the time comes, after our Russia launches a war against the Chinese Empire, our company may be selected as the attack force, and on the way to attack, how can we surrender to the army of the Chinese Empire?" ”

Vitalayevich said thoughtfully: "His Majesty the Tsar has made such a big move, if I were Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, I would definitely not wait for us Russia to expand the army of millions of people, I will definitely choose to take the initiative to attack, maybe one day the army of the Chinese Empire across the Ob River will come over, and I will take the whole company to make the wisest choice at that time." ”

Ilyich nodded and said, "It is really possible that as you said, the emperor of the Chinese Empire knew that our Russia was going to prepare to attack his country, and he was not stupid, so it was impossible for him to wait for us honestly......"

At this moment, a strange sound came from outside the bomb shelter, and Vitalaevich and Ilyich's faces changed almost at the same time, this voice was all too familiar to them, it was the sound of the Chinese Imperial warplanes flying in the sky.

The two men quickly ran out of the bomb shelter, came to the trench outside, looked up at the sky, and found a large group of warplanes in the air flying from the direction of the other side of the Ob River, directly to the side of the Russian city of Novosibirsk.

Almost immediately, Vitalaevich and Ilyich shouted at the Russian soldiers in the trenches: "Air strike! All into the bomb shelter! After saying that, the two of them didn't care about the other officers and soldiers of the company, and ran back to the air-raid shelter they had just come out of very quickly.

"Boom-boom-boom-" In a short time, the trench fortification where their company was located was shrouded in the explosion of aerial bombs. (To be continued......)
