Part 6 Chapter 2 You finished singing and I will appear

The result of the Jilin Battle was a global response. How could the old empire Russia become a dough stick? It was really beyond people's expectations that China, which was a Western country that could make a few words more than ten years ago.

In the Western newspaper industry, there was a natural uproar, and there was some sarcastic information. When Germany and Austro-Hungary Empire, two Russian rivals, saw the Russians falling into the well, of course they had to throw a few stones into it, flashing a few shades of wind and ghost fire. They wanted to fight between China and Russia for ten or eight years, and to fight for the whole world forever. The Russians in the province helped France cause trouble for the two countries.

The United Kingdom and the United States successfully used China without any effort and gained benefits from loans and national debts to China. After taking advantage of the Russians' ambitions in the Far East, they did not want to see a powerful China appear in the Far East. Some remarks of hope for peace have appeared in the newspapers.

As an ally of the Russians, the French were a fire-burning stove under the monkey's butt and began to jump up and down. In Europe, Germany, and the Austrian league was so overwhelming that France, of course, had to jump out and speak.

Since the news of the Battle of Jilin came out, the French ambassador to China has frequently hosted banquets to entertain British and American ministers. They also invited the Chinese Foreign Minister to visit if they had any problems and even asked to see Shen Congyun many times. Unfortunately, Shen Congyun always used the excuse of not having time as an excuse to delay.

The end of the Jilin Battle does not mean that the war between China and Russia is about to end. China is not Japan, and this battle is not like the Russo-Japanese War in history. It took 19 months to exhaust Japan's national strength. For this war, Shen Congyun prepared according to the plan for two years.

The only thing surprised Shen Congyun was that after learning about the outcome of the Battle of Jilin, the second-day flat-style fleet, which was mainly composed of the Baltic Sea in Russia, actually stopped its Fleet's journey to the Far East. According to various intelligence, Russia had the intention of making peace and had ordered the fleet to stand by on the spot.

The one-month rest and aftermath passed quickly. Not to mention that the Chinese army has recovered its domestic territory in one fell swoop, the army has approached the Sino-Russian border, which is very meaningful to attack at any time.

Zhongnanhai, West Flower Hall.

The two ministers of Britain, the United States and France appeared at the same time to meet Shen Congyun, which was also a temporary quaternary talks. Since China and Russia declared war, the two sides interrupted diplomats and expelled diplomats from each other, it is not impossible for the Russians to think about it together.

"Mr. President, although the Chinese army won the victory on the battlefield, Russia is an old-fashioned power after all. Once a general mobilization is carried out, millions of troops will be convened for half a year. Please be careful to consider this and try to restrain your army from crossing the border and avoid further expansion of the situation."

The French minister thought he was facing the Qing government now and spoke aggressively, but Shen Congyun's face collapsed instantly. When the British and American ministers saw this expression, they were sneering in their hearts. They laughed at the French minister for being arrogant and did not see who the guy opposite was. Shen Congyun is a well-known foreign iron-fisted guy and is also a person who has always been soft but not hard. Has France not suffered enough in Vietnam? He still spoke like this at this time.

Of course, the French minister was bleeding from Shen Congyun, which was not a bad thing for Britain and the United States. Let the French mess up the matter and then come forward to solve the problem. Only in this way can the country show its right to speak in the Far East affairs. The British ministers both fought the same abacus, and naturally adopted a cold-eyed attitude. The British ministers even persuaded them lukewarmly.

"Mr. President, I think that fighting a protracted war with China's national strength is not a good thing for the long-term development of the country. Moreover, the final outcome of the war is still unaware of it."

Oh my God! Is there anyone who persuades people like this? The American minister really thinks that the British are too cunning. The French minister already feels that what he said before is wrong. Now the British are definitely adding fuel to the fire. The French minister frequently uses his eyes to signal the British not to say anything, while the American minister smiles and watches this good show.

Chen Congyun knew very well what the group of wolf cubs were thinking. The Americans are just an industrial power, the navy is a scumbag, and the army is even more scumbag, and there is no deterrent force in military affairs. During the Spanish-American War, Chen Congyun ordered the South China Sea to cruise in the South China Sea, and the US Navy stayed honestly in the Philippines and did not continue to stretch out his hands. So other issues can be ignored except for money. The British naturally did not want China and Russia to continue to fight. After all, the Sino-British Friendship Treaty was placed there. At this time, the trouble was simply to let the French know that the British were working.

The Americans came out to mediate at this time, with the purpose of naturally increasing their international status. Chen Congyun naturally wanted it, and Chen Congyun did not intend to stop there. Who would Chen Sheng chase after him? Moreover, the French also gave him an excuse.

Chen Congyun said tepidly: "Dear Friends of Friends, Chen expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Chinese government. But one thing I want to emphasize is, why do the Russians come in if they want to invade Chinese territory? If the Chinese army wants to invade Russian territory, there are people who obstruct them in every way?"

The French minister stood up and said, "Mr. President, you have misunderstood my opinion..."

Chen Congyun sneered and interrupted him, "There is a Chinese saying that it is impolite to come but not to go! Sorry, Minister, please forgive me for interrupting you in rudely."

As he said that, Chen Congyun stood up with a smile and said, "Shen is busy with official business, so let's stop today's conversation."

The day after this talks, the Chinese East China Sea Fleet anchored in Lushun once again set off fire and anchored, and a huge fleet of 500 ships headed north.

Only then did Britain, the United States and France realize that the situation was a bit out of control. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms urgently asked to see Chen Congyun several times, but Chen Congyun refused on the pretext of physical discomfort. Three days later, the Chinese Marine Corps landed in Vladivostok. On the same day, the Chinese army crossed the border and advanced eastward. A week later, Vladivostok fell, and three days later, the Chinese Marine Corps landed on Sakhalin Island. It took only two days for the Russians to drive them out of Sakhalin Island.

The French, British and American ministers once again urgently asked for a meeting with Chen Congyun, but the answer he got was that Chen Congyun would have time to meet them three days later.

The German newspaper industry first made a judgment on this, believing that this was Chen Congyun's decision to use the army's bayonet to obtain many other benefits in the face of continuous military victory, rather than through some bullshit negotiations.

The day after the Three Kingdoms ministers asked for their meeting, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry held a press conference and announced a message that allowed foreign journalists to go to the Northeast battlefield to interview and report. The answer to many questions raised by Chinese and foreign journalists was "no advice". China showed the world a strong message that the Chinese army was still gathering northward. In the afternoon of the same day, President Chen Congyun sent a telegram to the whole country, calling on the people of the whole country to take action and always prepare to wait for the country's call. Although this is not a formal general mobilization, it is already very close.

The situation suddenly became very nervous. The Chinese government took a stance at all costs, which immediately aroused various reactions from the Western powers. Germany and Austria publicly stated that the Russians should bear full responsibility for the war they provoked.

France repeatedly emphasized that it hoped to resolve the Sino-Russian dispute peacefully. At this time, the Americans clearly stated that they were willing to mediate, while the British government expressed relatively cautiously, paying attention to the development of the situation.

The international community has finished the show, and Russia, as the parties involved, will naturally not let its own face continue to decline. Russia issued a tough statement and said that it would continue to fight the battlefield war. However, after China suffered losses, the Russian army seemed to be a little short of troops. Moreover, Russia's strategic direction is in the west, and more than half of the standing troops invested in China was in a dust-breaking result. If the general mobilization is not carried out, whether there is enough troops to engage in the battlefield war is undoubtedly a big problem.

What confused the world at the same time was that after occupying Sakhalin Island and Vladivostok, the Chinese army did not continue to move north, but stopped. At the same time, although the Russian army was frequently moving eastward, the Tsar had not released any news of the general mobilization.

As the highest commander of the Sino-Russian War, Keze, Aftershock, Wan Shusheng, Liu Yongfu and others secretly boarded the train and headed to Beijing. It was already early October!

The British minister walked out of Chen Congyun's official residence with satisfaction, and the American minister went in immediately and came out with satisfaction. The smile on his face seemed to convey a message to the world that it was useful to speak in China, and unlike some countries, the Chinese government did not buy what they said at all.

Just when both China and Russia were preparing to fight, the British and American ministers jointly expressed their lives. With the joint mediation of the two countries, China had agreed to a temporary ceasefire. What happened? The unrest in Russia three days later gave a clear explanation for this incident.

This was an incident that surprised Chen Congyun. The Russian bourgeois revolution had an early trend. History turned a corner at this time. The Russian bourgeois revolution that broke out in early 1905 in history was actually advanced. On the same Sunday, it was also a "bloody Sunday". Tens of thousands of Russian workers went to the East Palace to petition and were ambushed by military and police, and more than 1,000 people died. However, this incident was nearly three months ahead of schedule, and followed by a wave of comprehensive strikes in Russia.

It is obvious that Nicholas II's stupid, barbaric and cruel practices led to a comprehensive turmoil and civil strife in Russia. At this time, even if Russia wants to mobilize in a general, it is probably impossible. A national strike is in the near future. Even if Russia has the ability to mobilize in a general, it does not have the ability to support war.

After Chen Congyun learned the news, he was very happy to take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, winter was coming soon. Chen Congyun was deeply worried about the cold wind blowing from Siberia. Didn’t Napoleon and Hitler both collapsed in the cold wind of Russia in winter?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Why did you order to stop going north?" Liu Ting, who has been in a growing relationship with military affairs, asked in confusion when she sat next to Shen Congyun and poured a cup of hot tea. The domestic newspapers were in a turmoil, and there were many people who were there to catch Nicholas II alive.

"Hmph! Those reporters in the newspaper really don't hurt their backs when they stand. Russia is too big, it has enough strategic depth. The winter in Russia is too cold. I think it's difficult for our soldiers to adapt in such a harsh climate. The most important point is that Britain, the United States and France will not sit idly by. The rise of a powerful China is not a good thing for the interests of the great powers." Chen Congyun showed a little helpless. Indeed, these are all superficial rhetoric. In fact, Chen Congyun knew very well that for the Sino-Russian War, the country had consumed too much, and too many things were forced to stop because of this war. Of course, Chen Congyun would not tell Liu Ting the real financial situation.

"Mr. Zhang Jian asked for a meeting!" Li Yaoguo leaned in and reported, and Chen Congyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What should come will always come.

Liu Ting waited for Zhang Jian to come in and then stepped down after serving tea. After a few words of politeness, Zhang Jian said, "President, the war cannot be fought any longer. For this war, the country has invested 400 million yuan, nearly 200 million taels of silver." Zhang Jian seemed a little heartbroken. Since taking over Hu Xueyan as Minister of Finance, Zhang Jian's most direct expression was that his hair was completely white.

Chen Congyun also seemed very helpless, a little bit hard for decades, and returned to the helplessness before liberation overnight. The limited national reserves were exhausted in a war. Although it had been foreseen before, when things really came, Chen Congyun still felt very painful.

"Brother Ji Zhi, haven't I ordered Aftershock to return to Beijing?" Chen Congyun said with a faint smile. Zhang Jian still looked frowning on his face and said, "Sir, my family is not easy to be a good person. Don't complain about me."
