Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

No one had any intention to fight, no one could find their soldiers for the officers, and no one could find their superiors. The people could only distinguish the ranks simply by looking at the uniforms, barely maintaining the morale of the army.

If Luo Huo were to launch a large-scale attack right now, then this would truly be a good opportunity to annihilate all of Russian Army. Unfortunately, before the battle, Xiao Letian and the others had planned to surround him and use the least amount of casualties to achieve victory. This gave the Russian Army an entire half an hour of breathing time.

Venia, He Mansiji, Akson, the three of them were the officers with the highest statuses in the Russian Army, and were the backbone of the entire army. When they heard the crying of the entire mountain peak, they knew they could not continue like this or they would not be able to defend this fortress.

Venia said to the soldiers of the guard company. "All of you, get out. "Tell the soldiers outside that crying can't solve anything. If they want to live, they have to fight …"

The soldiers pushed out the temporary command post one by one. It was the A word library who stored the gold and laid the Military Maps on the scattered golden boxes.

"Things are already like this, complaining can't solve any problems. We have to find a way out for our brothers, who cares, we can speak freely!"

After a moment of silence, Akson said, "General is right. Although the situation is grim, we have not reached the point of despair, but we still have hope of escaping alive …"

"We can get what we can't get on the battlefield from the negotiation table. Now, I can be sure that Xiao Letian will definitely seal off the news of us from the outside world, because he wants to plan in advance to grow the fruits of his victory. I heard that the crisis of the Great Qing's paper money is very serious, so the victory in this sea battle is destined to be a good opportunity for Xiao Letian to cut off their wool! "

"He wants to become rich, at the same time, he does not wish for our diplomats and Qing Dynasty to start negotiations, do not think that Xiao Letian is not afraid of anything, just my analysis of Xiao Letian has two weak points!"

"Oh? Those two? " the officers asked in unison.

Akson hesitated for a while, but in the end, still opened his mouth, "Actually, what the two generals said before isn't wrong, I came to East Asia this time precisely with a secret order from the His Majesty the Tsar … His Majesty appointed me to be the governor of the eastern region of Russia before he went to war, and he has full authority over the affairs of the Far East! "Of course, this appointment should have been announced only after we've successfully met our teachers. It's a pity that we're no longer able to complete this mission!"

"Before we set off, I had a conversation with His Majesty. We had calculated some countermeasures to deal with the unfavorable situation. His Majesty was very wise. He had said that if the war went wrong, there were two forces that could save you!"

"The first is the English! Don't look at me like that. Although the British are enemies with us, they also don't want another powerful force to appear in East Asia. They especially don't want the Chinese people to challenge the British Empire's marine interests! "

"If Xiao Letian wants to defeat the Expeditionary forces, then victory in the sea battle is essential. But everyone think, if Xiao Letian possessed the strength to defeat the Russia's Navy, then wouldn't he also be a hidden threat for the British?"

"So if the situation doesn't go well, we can form an alliance with the British temporarily. Don't worry, the British will definitely help us. They want to support the hunting dogs to counterbalance our Russia, not to support a wild wolf that can bite them back!" The newly appointed Prime Minister Benjamin does not have any good impression of Xiao Letian! "

"His Majesty is indeed wise. To be able to make such arrangements before departure is truly astonishing!" Everyone sighed.

"The second power is the Qing Dynasty! Don't think that the Qing Dynasty is weak, even if they are just a bunch of dog, as long as they are used properly, they can still be used effectively! The thugs in the Far East had to rely on the manpower and resources of the three provinces outside the pass to replenish their supplies. They were counting on Xiao Letian's navy to move them up? "That's impossible …"

Xiao Letian's transport ship can only guarantee the transportation of military supplies, so we have to be very careful, and we need to transport food, cloth, medicine, leather goods, even war horses and other supplies from the northeast. If we can form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty and cut off Xiao Letian's supply line, then the crisis in the Far East will be solved!

"If it's possible, we will even give up our plans in Xinjiang, and use this little bargaining chip to exchange with the Qing Dynasty for him sending out troops … As long as we are in the most critical moment of the battle and get stabbed in the back, it will definitely be a wonderful scene! "

"In short, in order to protect the Far East, we can give up our interests in Xinjiang, and even negotiate on the border of the Far East again. As long as we can preserve the Haishenwai, as well as the passage to the mainland, and make space for the future of the Siberian Railway, that would be enough!"

"Nine years ago, when the Qing Dynasty was in a state of internal strife, we obtained one million square kilometers of land. This was all in vain, and now, we are giving them back three hundred thousand square kilometers, it doesn't matter! As long as the passage to the continent and the harbor are in our hands, it's enough! "

"When the railways are successfully built in the future, the million strong army will naturally be able to attack the northeast. When that time comes, forget about the 1,000,000 square kilometers, even the entire northeast will be ours …"

"When I came to the Far East, His Majesty wanted me to spend the rest of my life managing it. In the end, I led troops under the mountain customs and signed a new border with the Han people. That was my sole purpose in coming to East Asia!"

"Hehe …" The ideal is far, far away. Perhaps I should use my whole life to accomplish it! "However, everything in front of us must be protected by the port and the railway. This is the foundation of everything!"

Akson had revealed his true power, causing the eyes of all the officers present to light up. "Oh my god! Divide territory with the Chinese across the Great Wall? Your Majesty, you have such a great strategy! For this plan, even if we were to be smashed to smithereens, we will still do it! It doesn't matter if the entire army is wiped out! "

"Yes!" The north of the Wall is all our land, all his majesty's! Hahaha, when the time comes, half of Bohai Bay will be our military port, and the whole of Korea will be our sphere of influence! "Wu La!"

Akson licked his chapped lips and laughed, "If the timetable is not wrong, then there should be a hundred thousand Cossack cavalry s making a detour to the far east from the Central Asia's Plains. In less than two months, they should be able to appear in the Black Dragon River and the Wusuli River's Basin.

"Right now, the only thing we need to do is guard this place, as long as we can guard it, until the battleship that broke through the siege sends a message to Beijing, until Ambassador Ulangeli acts as our diplomatic mediator, or until the hundred thousand Cossack cavalry s make a detour to the Far East …"

"As long as we can defend, as long as we can!"
