    In Yekaterinburg, inside the Russian army headquarters, after receiving reports from various places on the front line, the Russian commander-in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholas, finally showed a smile on his face, and the previous anxiety had completely disappeared!

    "Haha! Well done! If those yellow-skinned monkeys want to destroy Russia, then be prepared to suffer more than two million casualties!" Grand Duke Nicholas laughed loudly!  The Russian army's resistance in various cities has achieved satisfactory results. Although the outer defense lines have been lost, the Russian army is now only sticking to each city, but in the street fighting, they successfully resisted the Chinese army's attack, and  It caused huge casualties to the Chinese army!  This result made Grand Duke Nicholas very satisfied. He stubbornly believed that the Russian army could not defeat the Chinese army in terms of strength, but if it could make the Chinese army pay heavy casualties and then retreat in the face of difficulties, it might be possible.  It's very possible!  This is why the Russian army turned these big cities on the Siberian Plain into fortresses!

    Grand Duke Nicholas now believes that the Russian army¡¯s previous preparations have paid off. The Chinese army suffered heavy losses in street fighting. If they want to eliminate the Russian army on the Siberian Plain, the Chinese army will have to pay greater casualties!  Such casualties are enough for China to be unable to bear!  By then, as long as Russia bows its head and sues for peace from China, the proud Chinese will probably not continue to persist. In that case, Russia will have a chance to breathe.  As for what the future will bring, Grand Duke Nicholas doesn't know, but in his opinion, it is already very difficult for Russia to restore its previous glory!  What he can do now is to preserve Russia as much as possible and let the Romanov dynasty continue to rule!

    "Grand Duke, Your Majesty has come to send a telegram to inquire about the situation of the war!" Grand Duke Nicholas' adjutant reported!  Tsar Nicholas II, who was far away in Moscow, was also very concerned about the ongoing war in the Siberian plains.

    "Tell your Majesty that we have withstood the Chinese attack. If the Chinese want to defeat us, they can only kill us!" Grand Duke Nicholas said confidently!  The attack by the Chinese army shocked him greatly. The application of various new weapons made the Russian army dizzy. If the Russian army had not turned these cities on the Siberian plain into fortresses first, the Russian army would have wanted to resist.  The Chinese army's attack is more difficult than reaching the sky!  Therefore, Grand Duke Nicholas was very glad that he made his original choice and did not have the arrogance to engage in a night battle with the Chinese army. Otherwise, the Russian army would have been defeated by the Chinese by now!

    On the evening of April 30, in Moscow, the Kremlin was still brightly lit!  Tsar Nicholas II was walking around restlessly in the hall. The important ministers of the Russian government stood respectfully below. Everyone was also very worried about the battle situation on the front line, which would be directly related to the future destiny of Russia!  If it fails, Russia will no longer be qualified to exist!

    "Your Majesty, the Caucasus cluster has retreated to the Caucasus Mountains, relying on the dangerous terrain to block the Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack! Although the Turks' attack was very fierce and their troops were much larger than ours! However, General Peter still resisted the Turks' attack  Attack! However, he only has 300,000 people in his hands. It is impossible to counterattack!" Army Minister Kuropatkin reported!

    "Tell Peter that as long as we can withstand the Turkish attack and ensure that the Caucasus Mountains are under our control, it will be a great achievement! As for those Turks, wait until we solve other big troubles and then deal with them!" Nicholas II  Shi said!  Now that Russia is being attacked by many countries, all the elite troops have been dispatched to the Siberian Plains, and other fronts can only be delayed as much as possible!  This required General Peter to use 300,000 people to resist the Ottoman Turkish Empire's more than 600,000 troops in the Caucasus Mountains!  Moreover, the Ottoman Turkish Empire continues to expand its army. Sultan Mohammed V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has already arrogantly clamored that the Turkish Empire will expand its army to two million and restore the supreme glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

    "What about the battle situation in the Southwest Cluster? Can General Brusilov withstand the invasion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania?" Prime Minister Ivan.  Goremekin asked!  In addition to the vicious Chinese, the strength of Russia's old rival, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, cannot be underestimated.  This time, two small countries in Southeast Europe have joined. Although the two small countries combined have only invested a few hundred thousand troops, Russia's elite troops are now restrained by the Chinese, which makes Russia's situation even more dangerous!

    ¡°Your Excellency, Prime Minister General Brusilov, resisted the Austro-Hungarian Empire¡¯s attack on the front lines of Brest and Vinnitsa, but he was also constrained by too few troops to launch a counterattack!¡± said Army Minister Kuropatkin.

    This is his second time serving as Minister of War, so he is very cautious.  The previous cabinet government had been dismissed by Nicholas II due to its unfavorable performance in the war! It was replaced by theseA talkative old minister.  Although this will not help Russia change its current threatening situation, it at least makes Tsar Nicholas II more comfortable!

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, the key point of this war is in Siberia, and other places are not important!¡± Nicholas II said!  If the Russian army can defeat the Chinese army on the Siberian Plain, or contain the Chinese army's attack, then Russia will have the capital to immediately sue for peace with China and strive to continue to survive.  If it fails, then Russia will have no choice but to surrender to the Chinese immediately. Apart from that, there is no other way!

    "Your Majesty! A telegram from His Excellency Grand Duke Nicholas!" At this time, the chief guard of the palace ran in and handed the telegram to Nicholas II!

    When Nicholas II received the telegram and read it, he immediately beamed with joy!

    "Haha! The warriors of the empire are really good! We have withstood the Chinese attack in today's battle and caused heavy losses to the Chinese! Grand Duke Nicholas is confident of holding back the Chinese on the Siberian Plain, and  Let the Chinese people pay an unimaginable heavy price!" Nicholas II said with a smile, and the previous depression and worry seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment!

    Other Russian ministers also congratulated His Majesty the Tsar. In their opinion, the current war situation seems to be very beneficial to Russia!

    Not only Tsar Nicholas II was paying attention to the war in Siberia, but other countries were also paying attention.  Kaiser Wilhelm II was very happy after hearing that the Chinese army was resisted by the Russians in the Siberian Plain and suffered heavy losses.  Order the German army to step up their offensive and capture Paris and the whole of France as soon as possible. Then the German army will turn around and attack Russia and occupy the fertile Eastern European plains!  Crown Prince William even held a dance party in his palace, celebrating the heavy losses of the Chinese army with many friends. During the period, he made many outrageous remarks, such as the yellow-skinned monkey is never the opponent of the Westerners, and the whole world is still made up of  Western domination and all that!  However, if William II heard Crown Prince William making such nonsense in the past, he would give Crown Prince William a lesson.  This time, William II seemed to have heard nothing!

    Austrian Emperor Franz.  After King Joseph I and Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand learned that the Chinese army had failed in its attack in Siberia, they immediately ordered the Austro-Hungarian army on the front line to slow down the attack and maintain sufficient vigilance to avoid falling into the Russian trap!  In their view, if the Chinese cannot defeat the Russians, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire will go deep alone. Without the cooperation of the German army, it will not be so easy to defeat the Russian army!

    Emperor Wang Yuze doesn¡¯t care at all how other countries view the failure of the Chinese army¡¯s attack!  When Marshal Cai Yun's telegram was sent back, it was already late at night in Beijing.

    "Your Majesty, the Russian defense in the Siberian Plain is very abnormal. They have built almost all the big cities into fortresses. If there are large-caliber fortress guns, they will be veritable fortresses! With the cooperation of the armored forces, we can easily  We successfully swept away the Russian troops outside the city, but in the street fighting, we suffered heavy losses!" Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of Army, reported to Wang Yuze!

    "How big is our loss?" Wang Yuze asked.  This time the attack did not go well, which did not surprise him. The Russians had been building defenses on the Siberian plains for several years, so it was impossible for them to have no effect at all.

    "Your Majesty, the losses of the six armies involved in the attack were not small. Our losses were about 20,000 people, the Japanese mercenaries lost about 50,000 people, and the North Korean mercenaries also lost more than 20,000 people!" Minister of National Defense Jiang  Xingguo reported!

    "His!" Although we already knew that the frontline attack had been frustrated, we still didn't expect that the losses would be so huge. Nearly 100,000 people were lost on the first day!  If this continues, the Chinese army, which has assembled more than three million troops in Central Asia and the Siberian plains, will not be able to withstand losses for long!

    "How big are the losses of the Russians?" Wang Yuze asked!

    "It's not very clear, but it certainly won't be too big! According to Marshal Cai Yun's estimate, the Russian losses were only about 50,000 people! A large part of them were lost outside the city! In the street fighting inside the city, their  The loss is very small!" said Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo!

    "You damn Russians, have they really built those cities in the Siberian plain into iron-clad walls? Send a telegram to Marshal Cai Yun, asking all departments to work steadily and not to be impatient! Since the Russians have built the cities into fortresses, then we will do it bit by bit  Remove their turtle shells! Reduce the losses of the troops as much as possible!" Wang Yuze said!  He hopes to win, but he doesn't want this victory to be filled with human life!
