Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The war had never been limited to just the battlefield. A commander might only consider the deployment of troops between the enemy and me, the allocation of firepower, the supply of logistics, and other factors to gain victory. However, a politician's considerations were complicated.

It was easy to start a war, but hard to end one. How to extrapolate the variables of the later stages of a war, how to prevent the intervention of new forces, all sorts of questions were testing the thoughts of politicians.

"Brothers, I have been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Wusuli River. In the past, we did not intervene when the sea rose. On one hand, we did not have sufficient strength, and on the other hand, the international situation at that time was not the best opportunity to take action!"

"Western Powers is just a pack of wolves. Although they have conflicts and conflicts with each other, they are all living under the nourishment of a religious faith. Civilization is the same, so when facing other civilizations, it's natural that they gather together to keep warm …"

"For example, when the English and French invaded the Beijing in 1860, although only the British and French combined forces fought, in the end, the Russian and the Americans fought to get a share of the spoils. The British and the French did not deliberately try to undermine the situation, and instead thought that weakening China's power together would be beneficial for the whole of Europe …"

"The core of the problem is still on civilization and our race. westerner has never forgotten about the saying that all non-humans have different hearts and minds, so if we had rashly gone against the Russian before, or even started a war with him, it would have been very possible for France, or even Britain, to abandon their conflicts with the Russian and come together to deal with us …"

"Remember, the British need us to control the expansion of the Russian's power, not to sincerely let us become strong and completely defeat the Russian!"

"Then what's the point of this battle!" Luo Huo roared in anger.

"Fight!" "Of course we have to fight, but we have to make a good choice. We have to take advantage of the fact that the Europeans don't have the time to look around and create a fait accompli when they can't do anything!"

"Now that Europe has been engulfed by the Franco-Prussian crisis, the critical moment to change Europe's future political structure has arrived. All the Western Powers dare not take it lightly, if France wins, Napoleon III will successfully stabilize his governance base, and Britain, as the second strongest country in the world, will take a step closer."

"If Prussia wins, then the later changes will be even greater. France won't be able to get away with this, and there will be chaos within France, and there will even be new political ideas taking shape. Don't forget that the romantic French are born revolutionaries, and the influence of the French Revolution is still scaring the royal families of Europe!"

"So now is the best time for us to take action. Other than verbal protests, we can't send a single soldier in Europe, and I don't want to be a bystander in this war. As long as we join in, as long as we join the side of the victors, we will get the rewards of the victors …"

Everyone's emotions were stirred up by Xiao Letian, and he excitedly asked, "Two battles? Could it be that we are going to engage in two wars, for Europe is going to send Expeditionary forces and the Wusuli River is going to send an army? Are we strong enough? "We have to recruit soldiers, we have to recruit soldiers …"

Xiao Letian turned his head and indicated for Wang Huaiyuan to continue memorizing the information. Wang Huaiyuan lifted his teacup and took a big gulp of water to moisturize his throat, then used his baton to knock on the location of the Haishenwai on the map.

"Haishenwai, the Russian has changed its name to Vladimir Wostock. This is the home base of the Far Eastern Navy in the Russia. There are a total of 12 different types of warships, the largest of which is the Wooden Iron-armored Ship. Using both the wind sail and steam power, there are 64 cannons …"

"The other surface battleships are all old Wind Sail frigate and fast private raiders. This kind of fleet can deal with the backward navy from Qing Dynasty and Japan, but in front of us, this little bit of combat power is not enough …"

"Look at their allocation in the army, with Haishenwai, Shuangcheng and Su Cheng as the core, there's a total of three thousand Russian soldier …"

"Three thousand!" Is that all? "How can this be?" The conference room was in an uproar.

"Quiet!" Xiao Letian knocked on the table, "3000? Do you know what kind of place that is? It's outside the boundaries of the white mountain and the black water, it's outside the Far East in the mouth of the Russian, the lowest temperature in winter can reach -40 degrees Celsius! "

Xiao Letian pointed to the east side of General Jilin's residence and said, "This is Ning An, our commonly known Ningguta. Qing Dynasty punishes those who commit heinous crimes, and other than death, gives Ningguta the heaviest slave as a fully armored person. From this, one can see just how harsh the living environment is!"

"In 1860, when the Russian carried out a census and map of the Wusuli River's watershed, the people of the Central Plains in this vast land … "Remember what I'm saying, the total population of the Manchu's Han people is only around 8000-10000, and the total area of this land is already over 400 thousand square kilometers …"

"Now, do you still think that there are not many 3000 Russian soldier? On the contrary, I feel that the Russia still values this land quite a lot, to be able to release so many troops! "

"Kill them!" "You dare to act arrogantly in front of us with such a small amount of manpower? We are lacking a mother Hong Kong after eating them all in one go …" The generals were so excited that they started clamoring.

Xiao Letian pressed his hand on them, "No … I will not eat this piece of fat in one bite. I will treat him as a piece of cured meat and lick him clean bit by bit. This is a very good grindstone, isn't it? "

"Here, I hereby announce the establishment of the CIA's secret organization, the Far East Volunteer Army. They are to draw 300 core basic officer s from the veterans of the new army, take off their uniform, and head to the borders of the Wusuli River to lead the helpless rebels. They are to use the long guerrilla warfare to slowly drain the enemy's blood …"

"Far East?" The eyes of the generals lit up all of a sudden. "This is indeed a good way to avoid diplomatic disputes, the anger of the Russian cannot be vented!"

"East bank of the Wusuli River, Black Dragon River, the north coast of the Amur River, and even Kupei Island, this place will become the main battlefield of the Far East's loyal troops. We won't fight for the gains and losses of a city, we just want to effectively kill our enemies and let those invaders fall into endless war, making them carry guns even when they go to the toilet at night …"

"Unite all the forces that can be united. Manchu, Han, and the people of Orenechun, let them join in the battle to expel the strong. Qing Dynasty abandoned this land and we will not abandon them!"

Xiao Letian smiled sinisterly, "The Siberian Railway that connected Europe and Asia has not been completed, and the long supply line is enough to drag down Russian alive, let them increase their forces, and let them do it endlessly. The fewer people there are, the more military expenditure they have, the weaker their economy will be."

"More importantly, let's fight more ruthlessly. In the future, when Zuo Zongtang enters Xinjiang, the pressure will be lower. This is a win-win situation!"
