    Marshal Gurko was silent, his retreat was cut off, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops were watching, and they were about to launch an attack on Malyanovka. With these troops at hand, Marshal Gurko really did not have the confidence to withstand the Chinese army.  team's offense.

    "Your Majesty Marshal! What should we do now? In two days at most, the Chinese will arrive at Malyanovka." Colonel Levslovic asked.  He has no idea at all, or in other words, he is very pessimistic about the current situation.

    "Block the news immediately. The news that Boyevoy was occupied by the Chinese cannot be leaked." Marshal Gurko ordered.

    Colonel Levslovic nodded, and then asked: "Marshal, are there any other orders? For example, retreat!"

    "Retreat? His Majesty the Tsar's order is for us to resist the attack of the Chinese ** Corps and not give the Chinese ** Corps a chance to penetrate deep into the hinterland of our country. If we retreat, the Chinese will be able to drive straight in!" Marshal Gurko  Shaked his head.

    "But, Marshal. If we don't retreat now and wait for the main force of the Chinese to arrive at Malyanovka, then hundreds of thousands of us will be dead. Without these hundreds of thousands of troops, Russia will still be unable to resist China.  It is better to retreat westward and push to the Ural Mountains. With the natural dangers of the Ural Mountains and our convenient logistics supplies, we will definitely be able to resist the Chinese." Colonel Levslovic suggested.

    "What? Retreat to the Ural Mountains? His Majesty the Tsar will definitely kill us. This is equivalent to giving up most of Russia's territory to the Chinese! His Majesty the Tsar will definitely not agree!" Marshal Gurko shook his head stubbornly.  .  Although.  Russia's focus is on Europe.  Most of the Asian territories are either ice sheets or plateaus, deserts and mountains.  But over the years, Russia has begun to gradually develop the Siberian region.  In addition, it is precisely because of this part of Asia that Russia has become the country with the largest territory in the world.  If it loses its Asian territory, Russia will once again become a purely European country.

    "Marshal Your Excellency, this is our last chance. Do you think we can withstand the attack of the Chinese army? After waiting for the main force of the Chinese to come up, we will not be able to leave even if we want to!" Lev Slovi  Colonel Qi said.

    Marshal Gurko hesitated.  Trading space for time, shortening one's own logistics supply lines, and increasing the enemy's logistical pressure are very effective tactics in a country with a huge military base.  It is also the best way for the Russian army now.  However, the only problem is that Tsar Nicholas II would not agree to the Russian army fleeing without a fight and giving a large area of ??territory to the Chinese Army in vain.

    "Okay. I will make a suggestion to the War Department, but whether the War Department will adopt it or not. Then I don't know!" Marshal Gurko still decided to work hard. This is not only for the hundreds of thousands of Russians from Malyanovka.  For the sake of the military, it is also for the sake of Russia's future.

    Moscow time, nine o'clock in the evening.  Russian Army Minister Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin is ready to take a rest.  The successive defeats of the Russian army made him anxious and exhausted, making him already very old.  In order to maintain enough energy to deal with the current critical situation, he goes to bed earlier every night.

    It¡¯s just that tonight.  He had just taken off his clothes and gone to bed, but was woken up.  The officer on duty at the War Department handed him an urgent telegram from Marshal Joseph Vladimirovich Gurko on the front line.

    "Oh God! We were defeated again, with a total loss of 200,000 people!" After seeing the battle damage in front, Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin suddenly fell asleep.  He knew that there were only more than 700,000 troops in Siberia, which was already the largest force Russia could muster.  If these Russian troops are eliminated.  Then Russia will not have enough troops to resist the Chinese attack.

    However, after seeing the content behind the telegram, Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin jumped up even more.  Marshal Gurko simplified the Russian army's retreat and retreated all the way to the Ural Mountains.  Use the terrain here to resist the attack of the Chinese army.  According to Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin, this is simply impossible.  Has the vast Siberian plain just given up?  He knew that Tsar Nicholas II would definitely not agree.  Tsar Nicholas II had a persistent desire for land that originated from his bones.

    However, in the telegram, Gurko listed in detail the difficulties currently faced by the Russian army. Boyevoy was occupied by the Chinese cavalry. The Russian army was not only cut off from its retreat, but also lost an important supply base.  In this case, Gurko and the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in his hands are very??It is possible to be completely annihilated by the Chinese.  If that were the case, it would be a huge disaster.

    ¡°Come here, prepare the car, I¡¯m going to the Kremlin!¡± Army Minister Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin ordered loudly.

    From 8 pm to 9 pm, Tsar Nicholas II spent time with his family. At this time every day, he would accompany Queen Alexandra Feodorovna and several children.  Although he may not be a competent emperor, he is indeed a competent husband and father.  Although, his queen doesn't seem to be a good person, and she seems to have an affair with Rasputin, the demon monk with a huge penis.  However, this cannot conceal the harmony of the Tsar's family.

    "Your Majesty, Minister of War Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin asks for an audience!" A messenger entered the room and reported to Tsar Nicholas II.

    Tsar Nicholas II couldn't help but frowned. He really didn't want to be disturbed at this time. How could Army Minister Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin give it to him almost every time?  He brings bad news.  Therefore, he did not want to see Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin even more.  However, reason told him that he was the emperor of Russia and could not follow his own temper in everything.

    ¡°Ask him to wait for me in the study, I will be there right away!¡± Tsar Nicholas II finally said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" The waiter bowed and left.

    "My dear, I have something to leave for a while. You can play with the children!" Tsar Nicholas II kissed Queen Alexandra Feodorovna on the face and said.

    "Okay, go and do your work, state affairs are important!" Queen Alexandra Feodorovna said softly. She also knew that Russia was now in a troubled time.

    Soon, Tsar Nicholas II came to the study and saw the panic-stricken Minister of War Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin.  He knew that Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin must have brought him bad news again.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of War, tell me, what happened? Where was the battle lost again?" Tsar Nicholas II asked.  He is very speechless about the current Russian Army.  Since the beginning of the war, he has failed almost every time, which makes him very disappointed.

    "Your Majesty is wise! In today's battle, Marshal Gurko's army was defeated by the Chinese!" Army Minister Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin replied.

    "Marshal Gurko? What happened?" Tsar Nicholas II suddenly became concerned.  Now, the army in Siberia is Russia's last bargaining chip.

    "Your Majesty, during today's battle, the three lines of defense on the left bank of the Irtysh River were all broken through by the Chinese. Our army lost more than 200,000 people, and the remaining troops were all concentrated in Malyanovka.  ." Army Minister Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin said bravely.

    "What? Two hundred thousand troops? Two hundred thousand troops were lost in one day? What on earth did Gurko do?" Tsar Nicholas II said angrily.  If this continues, won't all the remaining Russian troops be wiped out in a few days?

    "Your Majesty, this is not the most important thing. What is important is that Boyevoy behind Malyanovka was also occupied by the Chinese. Half of the supplies of the Siberian army are stored in Boyevoy. Now, Gurko  Not only was the marshal's retreat cut off, but the logistics supplies were also in big trouble!" Army Minister Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin told all the problems.

    "What? How could this happen? Why did the war situation become like this?" Tsar Nicholas II was also panicked.  If the Siberian army is wiped out, the Chinese will probably invade Europe, the heart of Russia.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of War, what should we do now? How can we withstand the Chinese attack?" Tsar Nicholas II stared at Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin and asked.  Tao, his eyes filled with anger.

    "Your Majesty, Marshal Gurko suggests retreating all the way to the Ural Mountains. With the favorable terrain of the Ural Mountains and our convenient logistics supplies, we may be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army!" Army Minister Alexey?  Nikolayevich Kuropatkin replied.

    "Retreat to the Ural Mountains?" Tsar Nicholas II subconsciously wanted to refuse.  Because of this, the Siberian Plains were undoubtedly lost to the Chinese in vain.  However, he suddenly thought that if he did not retreat, the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in Gurko would probably be eaten by the Chinese!  By then, Russia will definitely lose this war.  Although the recruitment of troops is ongoing, the lack of weapons and other strategic materials makes their recruitment work very unsatisfactory  If Marshal Gurko's Russian army is destroyed, the Russian army will no longer be able to stop the Chinese troops!  (To be continued.
