    "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, there is news about the 7th Cavalry Corps!" Grand Duke Nicholas' deputy reported to him!  On the night of May 5, a handful of Cossack cavalry who escaped from the Kamensk battlefield returned to Yekaterinburg, and the first  The news of Bingjun's defeat also spread here!  However, this news was blocked by the Russian generals.  Everyone knows that if this news spreads among the Russian army, it will have a great impact on the morale of the current Russian army!

    "Oh? Where is Sergei? Where are they?" Grand Duke Nicholas asked.  He very much hopes to get the news that Lieutenant General Sergey has won!  The current war situation is beginning to turn against the Russian army. The Chinese Army has adopted steady and steady tactics in several cities on the border. Under its absolute strength, the casualties paid by the Russian army have been increasing!  If this continues, without the incentive of victory, the morale of the Russian army will be greatly affected!

    "Your Excellency, the 7th Cavalry Army was defeated. Only a handful of the more than 25,000 people escaped, and the rest were all killed! Lieutenant General Sergei was also killed!" the adjutant said softly.  The disastrous defeat of the 7th Cavalry Corps was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Russian army.  This is the only mobile force in the hands of Grand Duke Nicholas.  Now, the Russian army no longer has the strength to contain the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes from ravaging the Siberian plains.

    "This? How is this possible? How could the brave Cossack cavalry be defeated by those despicable betrayers?" Grand Duke Nicholas swayed and almost fell to the ground. He was completely shocked by the news.  If this news had not come from his most trusted lieutenant, he would never have believed it!

    "Your Excellency, the five Central Asian tribes have assembled almost 100,000 cavalry to fight against the 7th Cavalry Army! The strength is four times that of the 7th Cavalry Army! Moreover, the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes have been equipped with Chinese weapons.  There are a lot of artillery! At the beginning of the battle, the 7th Cavalry Corps had the upper hand, but as more and more Central Asian cavalry troops arrived, with the force at an absolute disadvantage, the 7th Cavalry Corps gradually lost  As a last resort, Lieutenant General Sergei had to order the heavy-lost No. 1 Bing Army to retreat. However, on the way to retreat, it was intercepted by the fresh troops of the five ethnic groups in Central Asia! The No. 1 Bing Army, which suffered heavy losses, was no longer able to break through Central Asia.  The cavalry troops of the five tribes were encircled, and in the end most of the Cossack cavalry died fighting, including Lieutenant General Sergei!" the adjutant explained!  There is no doubt that the 7th Cavalry Army lost this time because of its strength. The Russian 7th Cavalry Army was at an absolute strength disadvantage. No matter how brave the Cossack cavalry fought, it could not make up for this strength disadvantage!

    Grand Duke Nicholas sat down on the chair slumped, his eyes were full of sadness, and he didn't know that he was worried about his rank.  Those warriors who died in the army are sad, or are they sad for Russia's future orders!  Telegrams asking for help from the front line are almost filling the desk of Grand Duke Nicholas. Commanders in various cities are complaining. With the large number of Chinese troops joining the urban street fighting, the casualties of the Russian army have begun to increase. And anti-tank  The losses of artillery are also increasing. After having insufficient weapons to resist the Chinese armored forces, the Russian army has no chance of resisting the attack of the Chinese armored forces.  Under such circumstances, Grand Duke Nicholas's plan to use these border cities to consume the Chinese army was bound to fail.  And once the Russian army on the Siberian Plain is wiped out by the Chinese, Russia's fate can be imagined!

    "Your Excellency, what should we do now? The cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes are raging on the Siberian plains, and our people are being ravaged by them!" the adjutant said with red eyes.

    Once upon a time, Russia was also one of the world's powerful countries, but now even the ethnic minorities in Central Asia dare to ravage the Russians wantonly. Is Russia really in decline?

    "Order the garrisons in various places to hold the defense line! In addition, prepare to mobilize troops to reinforce the front line!" Grand Duke Nicholas hesitated for a moment, and then issued the order!  There is no use in assembling a large army in Yekaterinburg anymore. Once several cities on the front line are lost, the 500,000 people in Yekaterinburg alone will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese army.  As long as the Chinese are dragged into the border cities, Russia has hope of continuing the war!  Otherwise, Russia will have no hope at all!

    "Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" The adjutant nodded and left quickly, conveying Grand Duke Nicholas's order to the troops below!

    "Grand Duke Nicholas is helpless against the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes raging on the Siberian plains.  After the 7th Cavalry Corps was wiped out, he only had a small number of cavalry troops on hand. Using such a small amount of cavalry to confront the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes, which still had a strength of nearly 100,000, was a complete dead end.  Therefore, they can only ignore the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes ravaging the Russians on the Siberian plains!

    Under the order of Grand Duke Nicholas, a large number of Russian troops set off along the railway to Yekaterinburg, preparing to reinforce the front line.  However, if these Russian troops want to start from??It is not that easy to reach the front line from Katerinburg!  Along the way, they would be attacked by cavalry units from the five Central Asian ethnic groups, as well as strafed and bombed by the Chinese Air Force from the sky. An infantry division set out from Yekaterinburg, and when it arrived at the front line, at most half of it was left.

    Except for some of the remaining people who were killed, the rest became deserters.  After seeing no hope, these Russians were unwilling to stay in the army and wait to die. They threw down their weapons, took off their uniforms, fled back and continued to be serfs!

    As time goes by, the war situation on the Siberian Plain begins to develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Chinese army!  Although the resistance of the Russian army is still tenacious, the advance of the Chinese army often comes at the cost of the lives of soldiers!  But overall, the Russian resistance has begun to weaken.  If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Chinese army will be able to wipe out the Russian troops in these cities, thus completely opening up the situation!

    While the Chinese Army was fighting fiercely with the Russian Army on the Siberian Plains, the Chinese Navy also began preparations for war!  After the Bahamas naval battle, the Chinese navy has become truly the number one in the world.  The intact battleships of the captured battleships of the US-UK Army-Navy Combined Fleet have been taken over by the navy. After the soldiers become familiar with the performance of these battleships, they will be able to form combat capabilities!  Those damaged warships have also returned to the country, and major shipyards have vacated their docks and begun repairing these damaged warships.  Once the repairs of these warships are completed, the strength of the Chinese Navy will inevitably be improved again!

    On May 8, Chinese Navy Minister Zhang Cheng held a naval meeting at the Navy Department. The commanders of the three major fleets have returned to the Navy Department to participate in this meeting.  Last night, the imperial emperor Wang Yuze personally held a banquet at Xinhua Palace to celebrate the navy's victory.  Although the war is not over yet, everyone knows very well that the main enemy of the navy has been eliminated. Even if there are still naval battles in the future, it will be harmless. The position of the Chinese navy in the world has been stabilized.  !

    Because there were not many people attending this naval meeting, the meeting was held in the office of the Navy Minister, Marshal Zhang Cheng. In addition to the Navy Minister, Marshal Zhang Cheng, those who attended the meeting also had little involvement in the specific affairs of the navy.  Vice Minister of the Navy who teaches at the Naval University and President of the Naval University, Marshal #ÚâShichang, as well as Marshal Li Dingxin, Commander of the Home Fleet who has just returned to China, Admiral Li Haitao, Commander of the Indian Fleet, and Admiral Gao Yihai, Commander of the Pacific Fleet!

    "Everyone, after many years of hard work, under the leadership of His wise Majesty, the Imperial Navy has finally become the most powerful navy in the world. Today's results are inseparable from the efforts of the naval officers! Thank you all  All these years of hard work!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said affectionately.  I think at the beginning, he was just the commander of the Fujian Navy of the Qing Dynasty, but after the Battle of Mawei, he became the scapegoat for the failure of the Fujian Navy.  Fortunately, Wang Xiao, the patrol envoy in western Sichuan, took him in and asked him to go to Europe to study and prepare for the establishment of the Chinese Navy.  After decades of hard work, we are where we are today!

    Several other senior navy generals also had red eyes.  The Chinese Navy started from scratch and went through fierce battles before reaching its current achievements. Even the former maritime hegemon suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese Navy.  The Chinese Navy has become a well-deserved maritime overlord!

    "However, the war is not over yet. The army and air force are still fighting the enemy on the battlefield, so the mission of our navy is not over yet!" Marshal Zhang Cheng continued!

    Everyone looked at Marshal Zhang Cheng. After the Battle of the Bahamas, the Chinese Navy began to take a long rest.  Until a combat mission is issued, they have nothing to do!

    "Everyone, now the Pacific has become our inland sea, the Indian Ocean is basically under our control, the western Atlantic is also within our sphere of influence, and the eastern Mediterranean is also under our control! However, the eastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean are still enemies  Under the control of the British, strategic locations like Gibraltar are still under the control of the British. We need to continue to launch attacks to control these strategic locations in our hands to ensure our superior position after the war! In this case, even if Germany  Anyone who wants to compete with us for world hegemony after the war will have to pay a heavy price!" Marshal Zhang Cheng said loudly.  His goal, in addition to becoming the world's largest navy, is to control all strategic locations in the world. By then, China will be the true maritime hegemon!
