Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 309 Target: St. Petersburg (1)
Zhang Yu rode on his "Snowflake Cone", and in front of him was the residence of the Tsar, St. Petersburg, the spiritual home of everyone!
St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 and has a history of 200 years. The name of the city comes from Saint Peter, a disciple of Jesus. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of Russia.Thereafter was always the heart of the empire.

At this time, Zhang Yu didn't know whether it was excitement or emotion. Yekaterinaburg was successively conquered by the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Western Expeditionary Army. St. Petersburg will be the last and most important stop of the empire's expedition. .After Genghis Khan, China's sharp sword will draw an end to the imperial capital that has been glorious for 200 years.Thinking of this, his blood boiled in his heart, and his lips, which were blue and purple from the cold wind, also began to tremble. He subconsciously put his hand on his right shoulder, and a piercing pain hit him immediately.There was still a bullet hole on his right shoulder from the fierce battle in the suburbs two days ago. Although the bullet had been removed by Sun Wen, the pain never stopped.But Zhang Yu believed that the pain from this wound was far less than the pain in the Tsar's heart at this time.

The strong wind was blowing outside, but the inside of the Winter Palace was as warm as spring. Tsar Nicholas II was looking at the portrait of Peter the Great on the wall. He was silent for a long time. A large group of senior military officials stood there with their heads bowed. Dare to speak, no one is willing to say a word.At this time, everyone's mood is the same.Frustrated!Depression bordering on despair!
Suddenly, there was a strange roar in the sky in the distance, from far to near, soldiers exclaimed from outside the door: "What is that!" Many officials couldn't help coming to the door, and there was a chaos outside group.

Nicholas II was shocked, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. He slowly came back to his senses, his face became more gloomy, and he asked in the most stern voice: "What happened outside?"

"Your Majesty, we don't know what's wrong with this." A foreign minister was obviously shocked by what he saw, and his words were incoherent.

Nicholas came to the door calmly, following the gazes of the people.I saw five streaks of white smoke streaking across the sky, which did not dissipate for a long time. The first five aircraft spread their wings like flies, and flew across the sky over St. Petersburg!
Nicholas' originally dull eyes suddenly widened: "What is this? Could it be an airplane? How could such a thing appear in the world? Impossible, impossible." But the huge five-clawed golden dragon on the fuselage made people He fell into complete despair, and he muttered to himself in a daze: "Chinese planes, Chinese planes"

Five Chinese planes whizzed across the golden roof of the Winter Palace, and sheets of white paper fell from the planes, like large flakes of snow falling to the ground.Nicholas picked one up and looked at it. It was written in clear Russian: "The Chinese army has surrounded St. Petersburg. If you know the time, get out of the city and surrender. We guarantee your personal safety. Otherwise, the imperial artillery will destroy the city." A century-old capital was razed to the ground."

After reading the leaflet, many officials were shocked and looked at the tsar with complicated eyes.Nicholas' pale face gradually turned red, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He tore the leaflets into pieces and said viciously: "If anyone in this city dares to betray our nation, I promise he will not." Will get out alive!"

The plane circled twice over St. Petersburg before leaving. Many people in the city received such leaflets. Some people were really tempted. They knew in their hearts that the huge empire was about to collapse in front of the Chinese army. Ordinary people could only Be a victim of this war.Therefore, some people began to pack their bags secretly and came to the city gate quietly with their families.But the tsar had a strict order that anyone who wanted to go out of the city to join the enemy would be shot to death. Therefore, the investigation in the city was very strict. Many people who were discovered were shot dead on the spot by the guards. For a while, the city of St. Petersburg was shrouded in white terror.

After the Chinese aircraft formation completed its mission, it slowly landed on a temporary apron outside St. Petersburg.This place has already been decorated with a new look, and there is not even a little snow on the flat ground.The cabin door opened, and the first person to come out was a young man with an extraordinary bearing. With a smile on his face, he said as he got off, "What a wonderful trip!"

A large group of military giants of the Chinese Empire swarmed over, including Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, Zhao Bingjun, Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, Feng Xianghua, the highest officer of the Imperial Military Command, Xu Shichang, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Department, Wang Shizhen, Chief of the Operations Department, and Wang Shizhen, the Director of the Northeast Military Region. Commander-in-Chief Dong Liang, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition Army Zhang Zuolin, etc., are all the most popular figures in contemporary China.They knelt down on the ground together and shouted in unison: "Your servant waits to greet my emperor long live!"

"Get up." The young man who got off the plane was the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Guan Xuqing!
The pilots who followed the emperor were the Wright brothers, the chief instructor of the Imperial Air Force. Guan Xuqing stroked their shoulders and said, "The performance of the plane is very good, and the flight is very stable. I am very satisfied!" Before the Wright brothers could speak, the emperor He also said: "Since it is an airplane, we must first master the flying ability. It seems that you have done a good job, but our airplane is not for play. What I want to see most is its combat ability."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that our aircraft can carry 200 kilograms of bombs. There are two light and heavy machine guns, one grenadier and one 60mm camping gun. Such dynamic equipment can make the Tsar's Winter Palace from this place. disappear in the world." The Wright Brothers said confidently.

Guan Xuqing nodded and said: "This war must fully test the combat capability of the aircraft and the operational ability of the pilots. After the war, we must immediately make improvements based on the problems discovered."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, when will the attack be launched?" Feng Xianghua asked the Emperor for instructions as he walked.

"With Nicholas' temperament, no one will be able to escape from that dead city. I will give them another 4 hours, and if they don't surrender at 12:[-] noon, we will launch a strong attack!" Although Guan Xuqing was smiling, But the light reflected in the eyes is creepy.

Guan Xuqing walked and inspected the camp of the Chinese army. The densely packed Central Army officers and soldiers lined up neatly, with determination and awe on their faces, accepting the emperor's inspection. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The voices of more than 20 soldiers merged, melting the solid ice on the ground.

Guan Xuqing, like a tireless athlete, walked between the Chinese camps that could not be seen at a glance, and finally came to a large open space in the center of the camp, where ten black steel behemoths were parked. in the direction of St. Petersburg.Guan Xuqing looked around these three behemoths with great interest, nodded frequently, and said to Wang Shizhen, the director of army operations, "This is the tank made by the Northwest Military Industry Bureau."

"Yes, a group of military machinery experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences made it with reference to the British Type 19 tank drawings." Wang Shizhen had just finished speaking, and Zhao Bingjun said: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the Security Bureau, the world can currently build this type of tank. We are the only ones with this kind of weapon, Britain is struggling to cope with the German army, so the tank project has been delayed for a long time."

"Hmm." Guan Xuqing touched the cold barrel and seemed to be talking to himself: "A year from now, not only will the Imperial Air Force reach a certain size, but we will also build a powerful armored corps. Western powers are far behind."

The time soon came to 12 noon, and the noon sun did not penetrate the layers of twilight over St. Petersburg, but brought even greater depression to the city!Suffocating depression!

A shell from the Chinese position pierced the silent air, waking up all the sleepy people in the city.

At this time, it was the lunch time of His Majesty the Tsar. Nicholas II had just picked up a glass of pre-dinner wine, and before he could drink it, he was shocked by the sound of the cannon, and there was a clear "pop". This exquisite crystal wine glass It fell to pieces on the ground.

At this time, the front of the city gate of St. Petersburg had been bombed into a mess by tons of shells, and the two fortifications in front of the city gate appeared extremely fragile in front of the tide of the Chinese army.With the roar of the rumbling machines, ten steel behemoths spewed flames, ruthlessly ran over the cement fortifications of the Russian army, and drove towards the city gate with an unstoppable momentum.

"What is that! What the hell is that!" The defensive commander Yu Xijin shouted in panic. Facing the steel monster that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, many Russian troops were frightened to death!

In order to keep this vital support point, the Russian army did not hesitate to use the last Cossack cavalry in the empire, but the Chinese army still won this hard bone by relying on its superiority in numbers and weapons and its unparalleled momentum.At the same time, the Chinese airship brigade and aircraft formations have already taken off on the outskirts of the tarmac, and their attack target is the main guard camp and ammunition warehouse located in the southeast of the city.

Stepping on the bones of the Russians, it was Zhang Zuolin's Eastern Expeditionary Army that first attacked St. Petersburg. General Tang Yulin, Liao Zhong, and Liao Kai led the troops and entered the city under the cover of tanks.But as soon as they entered the city, Tang Yulin and the others were stunned by the sight in front of them!

I saw tens of thousands of Russian civilians crowded the main roads of the city, including young people, old people, children, and women. There is no expression on the face.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will shoot!" A regiment soldier at the front of the line was also shocked by the momentum. It took a long time to recover, and they aimed their guns at the Russians in front of them. civilian.But those Russians didn't seem to be afraid at all, they still stood there without saying a word, the air at the scene was cold and tense!
