Chapter 493 The End of the Alliance (1)

After Li Hongzhang left, Qin Zheng immediately reported the results of the talks between the two to the Tianjin Executive Committee. At the same time, he also mentioned that three days after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, countries have not yet contacted the Time Travel Group to negotiate the matter of restarting the negotiations. Therefore, whether the Time Travel Group needs to take the initiative to contact various countries, after all, the Time Travel Group cannot afford to delay it now.

After the discussion, the Executive Committee believed that it could be requested to surrender to the Qing court according to Li Hongzhang's suggestion and negotiate with various countries at the same time, but both of these must be adhered to the principle of time travelers. As for countries that have not yet contacted the time travel group, this is likely to be the strategy of each country. When playing the game of Silent, what the two sides have to compete now is their own determination. Therefore, at this time, time travelers do not need to take the initiative to contact various countries, but do what they should do.

Now, the Time Travel Group has a large number of basic projects in Tianjin or Qingdao. After winning the Battle of Shanhaiguan, it is unlikely that there will be any accidents to interrupt the construction of the Time Travel Group. Therefore, it is possible to negotiate with the Qing court and various countries while developing itself. It is possible to restart the expansion plan of the Shandong Peninsula that has been stopped due to the war. In this way, both sides will not be delayed, and there is no need to worry that various countries will deliberately drag the road.

After receiving the reply from the Executive Committee, Qin Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Executive Committee was indeed more far-reaching than himself, so he no longer cared about the actions of various countries. He still tried his best to promote the victory of the Shanhaiguan battle in Shanghai, waiting for the reactions of various countries.

In fact, countries are not in the mood to play the silent game with time travelers now. The reason why they have not contacted time travelers for a long time is that they have been dragged down by Russia.

The shock brought to various countries by the Battle of Shanhaiguan is far greater than that of people from all walks of life in Shanghai, because no one expected that overseas Chinese could defeat the Russian army so cleanly. Moreover, as time went by, in addition to the People's Army's strategy of the 6th battle, the detailed results were also announced. There were 32,000 Russian troops, with only more than 6,000 people left. No matter from that perspective, this was a crushing defeat and a result that no one expected.

You should know that since the Napoleonic War, Russia has been one of the most powerful forces in Europe. It can be seen only by looking at the nicknames such as "European military police" and "European road roller" that Russia has been named. It is OK. It was not until Russia lost the nicknames of the Ninth Russian-Turkey War and the rise of Germany's reunification later that it was considered that Russia could not suppress Russia's expansion. However, Russia then won the 10th Russian-Turkey War and launched a global competition with Britain. Therefore, it is still a force that no country dares to underestimate. Although the 32,000 Russian troops are not too many, it is not easy to defeat it because it is defeated in a war. In people's memory, only Napoleon has done it.

At this time, there were more than 8,000 troops from various countries in Shanghai, so naturally they could not help discussing the tactics used by overseas Chinese in this war. Almost all officers admitted that the tactics used by overseas Chinese were very exquisite. They took advantage of the advantages of sea control to climb 6 behind the Russian army, attacked the Russian army on both sides of the frontal army, and used clever tactical arrangements to make up for the shortcomings of overseas Chinese. Therefore, this was a battle that was enough to be as good as the Battle of Nikan, and Napoleon crossed the Alps, and was enough to be recorded in history.

Of course, to outsiders, the tactics adopted by overseas Chinese seem to be nothing worthy of praise, because overseas Chinese have obtained the right to control the sea, so it is very easy to send troops through sea routes. But only insiders know that the Target 6 tactics is by no means an easy thing.

In this era, the way to board the 6th is to put down the boat from the warships and row the beach by the soldiers. However, the way to board the 6th battle is not to just transport the soldiers to the shore, because war is a systematic matter and requires coordination and organization and command from all parties, which requires the army to have a complete organization. However, the disadvantage of this way to board the 6th is that the force is too scattered, such a small boat can only carry one squad of soldiers. Because each 7th boat has a different degree, there are first and then, after the docking, it takes a considerable time to reorganize the team and restore the army's organization. Therefore, even during the day, the army's boarding 6th battle is a very complex tactical organization, let alone at night. This not only requires the commander's comprehensive control and allocation ability of the army, but also requires the soldiers to have excellent qualities and strict training in daily life.

Overseas Chinese not only succeeded in the 6th at night, but also fought and defeated the Russian army. Although they only had one regiment of troops to land, it was also a very difficult task to complete. Considering that the establishment of the People's Army only took half a year to reach the establishment, which also shows that overseas Chinese should have an effective way to organize, train and prepare the army. Such opponents naturally cannot be underestimated.

However, no one would have thought that the People's Army's boarding 6 was actually completed by a gas pad boarding 6 boats. It carried one battalion at a time, and it almost didn't take much time to organize it. The battle mainly relies on armored troops, which ensured the success of this boarding 6 battle. However, these details were either hidden in the darkness or ignored by researchers at this time.

Although only overseas Chinese have announced the results of the war, and countries do not have much doubts about this, such a major matter must be compared and confirmed from two aspects. Therefore, as soon as the time traveler announced the results of the war, countries immediately confirmed the matter with the Russian Consulate in Shanghai. The Russian Consul in Shanghai p.a. Dmitryev also called the Russian Army Headquarters in Lushun to inquire about the situation of the war.

However, Russia does not have as advanced communication equipment as time travelers. In northeast China, only a few cities like Shenyang and Lushun were sent to telegrams. Therefore, the Russian headquarters in Lushun had not received any news of the Russian defeat at this time. Although it had not received news of the front line for two or three consecutive days, the Russian headquarters in Lushun also estimated that the situation of the war might be unfavorable to the Russian army, but did not do it to Dmitryev. It only said that overseas Chinese were spreading rumors, trying to shake the morale of the Russian army, and demanded that p.a. Dmitryev not be fooled.

p.a. Dmitryev was not stupid, although Lushun insisted that this was fake news, but he failed to provide details of the war situation. He only said that everything was normal in the Russian army, and the rest were only military secrets. He could not say much, and he knew in his heart that the Russian army was really in big trouble. But these words were p.a. Dmitryev could not explain to other consular personnel, and he had to make a righteous act. He insisted that everyone who came to ask was that overseas Chinese were lying. Now the Russian army is running well on the front line and has not failed at all.

At first, the consulates in various countries were still somewhat skeptical, but as overseas Chinese gradually announced the results of the war, p.a. Dmitryev could not show the situation of the war, and could only use military secrets to make excuses. No one was stupid, so he didn't know what was going on. In fact, p.a. Dmitryev himself was becoming less and less confident.

However, the facts will always be revealed one day, and this day is not far away, because all countries have their own insiders in Shanhaiguan, Lushun, Jinzhou and other places. The confidential information may not be found out, but it is not difficult to inquire about the result of such a large-scale war. Therefore, after three or four days, the consulates can basically confirm that the results of this battle are basically consistent with the situation announced by overseas Chinese.

At this time, Lushun officially confirmed to P.A. Dmitryev that the news of the Russian army's defeat was impossible to hide. Of course, the Russian side admitted that although the Russian army was defeated, it still preserved about 20,000 troops, rather than what the overseas Chinese said less than 6,000. This is not to say that Russia still wants to hide some face, but it is actually for Japan to hear. The conflict between Russia and Japan on the Korean Peninsula has not ended. If Japan knows that the Russian army's southward army has suffered heavy losses, maybe Japan will choose to resolve the conflict on the Korean Peninsula by force. Therefore, Russia actually hopes to create an impression that although the Russian army has lost but its military strength has not been greatly damaged, and dare not act rashly on the Korean Peninsula.

Of course, exaggerating one's own results and reducing one's own losses is common in all countries. However, no matter what the Russian army's casualties, the failure of the southward advance plan is an undeniable fact, so all countries were officially confirmed. So British Consul Huo Bilan immediately proposed to immediately call for the Eight-Nation Meeting to discuss the next step of peace talks with overseas Chinese. This suggestion was immediately unanimously agreed by all countries. In addition to the eight countries participating in the invasion of China, countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal that did not participate in the Eight-Nation Alliance also requested regular attendance. After all, the situation in China has reached this point, and the interests of all countries in China have been affected.

At the beginning of the meeting, Russian Consul P.A. Dmitryev made a passionate and fierce speech, strongly condemning overseas Chinese for violating the international convention. He also asked all countries to mobilize troops from the country, organize the second Eight-Nation Alliance, attack China again, expand the scale of the war, and completely defeat overseas Chinese.

After p.a. Dmitryev finished speaking, the consuls of other countries looked at him with an idiot. This was not only because p.a. Dmitryev's proposal had no possibility of gaining approval from all countries. At this time, it was impossible for all countries to organize the second Eight-Nation Alliance again. Moreover, most of the content of p.a. Dmitryev's speech was almost exactly the same as last time, except for the results. It seems that this guy is not only a problem with his mind, but also a little lazy, and he doesn't even want to spend the effort to rewrite a speech.
