Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the interference of the expeditionary force, this world has become riddled with holes, completely inconsistent with history. In the east, the Chinese Empire suddenly emerged and confronted the old empire Tsarist Russia, which restrained a lot of the energy of the Allied countries, while in Eastern Europe  In the Balkans, Serbia, which was originally the trigger of the war, was easily captured by Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria in just over a month.

    This battle cut off Tsarist Russia¡¯s black hand extending to the Balkans, and also greatly reduced the political influence of the Allied Powers. However, the political environment of the Allied Powers in Europe suddenly became very good.  After opening up the Balkans, the former relationship between Turkey and Germany has become very tight. According to intelligence, it is very likely that the next one to join the Allied Group will be the ancient Ottoman Turkish Empire, which is already faltering.

    This news excited Kaiser Wilhelm II so much that he shouted at the palace ball, "The old world system is completely collapsing! Germany is rising, and no one in this world can stop us!"

    In short, judging from the current situation, the ambitious Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are becoming more and more arrogant in Europe, while the former world empires of Britain and France are retreating step by step in Europe. Between the Entente and the Central Powers  The future outcome has become like a cloud of doubt, no matter how difficult it is for people to see clearly.

    ¡­¡­

    Far East, Irkutsk, little Grand Duke Nicholas's temples are already dyed with white hair. Since he took over Russia's eastern war situation last year, the situation has gone from bad to worse. The strategic cunning of the Chinese has made him, a European royal family  The pride, the only general Xing was made physically and mentally exhausted, haggard.

    Until now, there is no hope of breaking the war situation in the East, but Europe has already started fighting again, forcing Russia to look back to the west.  As for the Eastern War situation, the full support promised by the Czar in advance had to be cut off. This caused many of the follow-up moves he had prepared for the Eastern War situation to be canceled due to military and logistical reasons. Now, even the logistical capabilities to prepare for a major battle are almost gone.  There are some shortcomings.  If this continues, how can we fight this battle?  Has Russia's hundreds of years of painstaking efforts in the East been lost?

    He, who was originally confident, is now a little discouraged.

    At the beginning of the year, the Northern Xinjiang Campaign began. On the Sliudanka front line, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops took turns to attack, setting off a fierce offensive. However, in front of the iron wall of the Chinese National Defense Force, the Russian army lacked effective means of attack, and the Chinese Air Force was dispatched from time to time.  , and it also made it difficult for the Russian heavy artillery group to be effective. On the Chinese side, just one army contained all the energy of the Russian East, while in other places, bad news kept coming.

    Chita, Vladivostok, cities in the Far East have fallen rapidly one after another since the beginning of spring. The Far East defense line that was originally expected to last at least a year and a half completely collapsed and fell into the hands of the enemy.

    The most important thing in this news is not the fall of these places. After all, the way back was cut off and the cities were running out of ammunition and food. No one dared to expect how long these cities could last under the massive Chinese attack. It was the process of the fall of these places.  News of the large-scale rebels that appeared in the war made all Russian upper-level people start to feel frightened. Are those ghosts named ** who lurk among the lowest-level serf workers in Tsarist Russia really about to appear?

    In fact, as one of the wisest people at the top, Nikolayevich did not know anything about the current situation of Russian society. The serfs and workers at the bottom lived an extremely difficult life, but the court of Nicholas II transformed the country  What a complete mess, a charlatan who doesn¡¯t know where he came from is actually allowed to take charge of national affairs!

    It is so perverse that the entire society, whether it is the upper, middle or lower classes, is complaining. The workers and serfs at the bottom end up footing the bill for political mistakes time and time again. They can no longer bear it. In the past ten years,  , the Russian uprisings and violent incidents occurred again and again, which was no less than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty in China a few years ago!

    As for China, history has now proven that this one after another rebellion resulted in the collapse of the old court system and the birth of a new government. As for Russia, will it also experience such a dynasty change?  The great Romanov dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years. Is this the end of its life?

    All these things made Nikolayevich feel overwhelmed!  In his heart, for the first time, he had doubts about the eternity of the great Romanov dynasty's existence in the world. If this continues, the great Mother Russia will really be unable to survive internal and external troubles!

    He looked at the military map on the table, hoping that he could finish this battle happily!

    ? Chinese people, hurry up and do it!

    On the military map of the battle that he drew with his own hands, various red dots and blue dots representing military power were formed one after another, but in the end, all the powerIt turned into several large arrows, pointing to the south of Lake Balkhash - Almaty!

    ¡­¡­

    Almaty is located at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the south and to the north is the desert area south of Lake Balkhash. The ancient Silk Road once passed through here. It is an important city for the nomadic people in Central Asia and the former residence of the Governor of Turkestan.  right here.  At this time, it was still one of the largest cities in Central Asia, adjacent to Ili in Xinjiang, China, to the east.  Now, this is within the territory of the Bukhara Khanate, but Russian troops are still stationed in the city.

    One afternoon in June 1914, in a house in the city of Almaty, a group of people gathered together to plot.

    "Everyone, are you ready? Dedicate yourself to the great Bukhara Khanate and for the freedom of all Uzbeks!" One of the people, who was obviously the leader, shouted in a low voice.

    This voice made everyone present feel excited physically and mentally. Everyone was immersed in a kind of religious fanaticism. Everyone's eyes were shining with heat and they nodded fiercely.

    ¡°For the freedom of all prairie people!¡± everyone replied heavily.

    Then, these people dispersed and disappeared into the streets and alleys of Almaty.

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, east of Almaty, in the Ili region of Xinjiang, China, Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Ma Fuxiang and others were all here. The layout of the Chinese National Defense Forces in the Xinjiang region, which had traveled a long distance from the mainland, was numbered 567.  Eighth's four infantry armies have adapted to the environment here. Li Liejun's Jiangxi Eighth Army is stationed in the Altay region in northern Xinjiang, and Sun Wu's Hubei and Hunan Ninth Army is in the Kashgar region west of Tarim!

    The rest, the Xiong Kewu Department of the Fifth Army, which is mainly composed of Sichuan and Guizhou soldiers, and the Wanglingji Department of the Sixth Army, together with the 38th Army, have a total of hundreds of thousands of troops. They have been preparing for a long time here in Yili and are gearing up.  , waiting for news from the west.

    A few hours before Almaty was received and the operation started, the army here had already started on the road. The fastest, the 38th Army, the forwards had quickly crossed the border and headed towards Almaty.

    ¡­¡­

    Almaty, in the afternoon, Major Chekov, the leader of the Russian garrison, received an invitation from the butler of the local Governor's Mansion, inviting him to go to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet. Chekov gladly accepted the invitation, and they, the officers of the garrison,  It is natural and the most common thing for us to attend such local dinners and receive the filial piety presented by the rulers of some local ethnic minorities.

    He explained the garrison matters, left the military camp, led a small group of soldiers on horseback, and galloped through the noisy market in Almaty. The dust was flying all the way, making everyone and the vendors in the market dare not speak out.  , all looking fiercely at the backs of these hateful Russians, wanting to gouge them to death with their eyes.

    Approaching the Governor's Palace, Chekov slowly slowed down his horse and then gradually began to think about something:

    Over the past six months, the interactions between the grasslands and the Chinese in the east have become closer and closer. The Chinese have carried out large-scale construction projects in Xinjiang, building roads, building schools and factories, setting off a new atmosphere in the interior of Central Asia, attracting the attention of many people around them.  .  Massive civil engineering projects required large numbers of people.  A large population brought a large amount of supplies, which naturally meant that good times were coming for the grassland people.

    At this time, the Central Asian grasslands were not the ones of later generations. They could live comfortably by selling oil and natural gas resources. The grassland people of this era were almost the most backward group of people in the era. There were signs of industrial revitalization in the outside world.  It is far away from the mainland. In this land at the roof of the world in Central Asia, people's lives are no different from what they have been for hundreds of years. It is very hard.

    As for Xinjiang, China's big move quickly attracted many prairie people to go for gold mining. They rode their own horses and drove their own cattle and sheep. At the very least, even a polished young man could find some work and get involved.  A mouthful of food was already an extremely good life for the prairie people at this time.

    Not to mention the impact that the new atmosphere brought by the Chinese industrial construction has had on these grassland people, such as the rapidly forming cement buildings, various steel machinery, as well as Chinese cars, movies, radios, etc.  This novel thing brought about earth-shattering changes in the concepts of the grassland people. At this time, a trend was forming in the Central Asian grasslands. It spread rapidly among the wandering herdsmen. Under the influence of the Chinese, the entire grassland was changing.  Secretly, people's hearts are floating.

    This is a very dangerous sign!  Chekov thought in his mind that the Chinese are currently at war with Russia in northern Xinjiang. Although there is a confrontation here and there are no signs of mobilizing troops, the current situation is such that even a junior officer like him knows that the Chinese  It is by no means a good-neighborly and friendly intention towards the northwest. It must be a covetous eye.

    It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know??What, the people above have been doing nothing. Since the war in northern Xinjiang broke out, the Russian troops have been constantly being transferred and thinned out throughout the Central Asian grasslands. He is the garrison of such an important town as Almaty.  The army is now only 800 battalions strong!  Now, the grasslands of Central Asia are extremely empty. Once the Chinese come, won't they just drive straight in?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
