In front of the Summer Palace of Tsars, St. Petersburg, the huge fountains consisting of 37 golden statues and 29 snorkeling reliefs, 150 small statues, 64 fountains and 2 trapezoidal waterfalls, which are magnificent.

In the palace study, there are only four people, including Alexander II, Army Minister Miliujing, Mikhail Nikolanavic and Nikolajevic.

Both the Grand Dukes Mikhail and Nikola were Alexander's younger brothers. According to the tradition of the Russian royal family, when faced with war, the two Grand Dukes were also popular candidates for commanders.

Half a month ago, the Chinese sent troops to defeat more than 2,000 Russian troops in Xinshengjing City in the Far East and occupied Xinshengjing City.

In fact, according to the Treaty of Nibchu, Xinsheng Jing belongs to the territory of China, and the infiltration of Russian armed immigrants more than a decade ago was once led by the Chinese emperor's personal soldiers.

In the past few years, the Russians made a comeback and built many immigration sites in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. However, from a legal perspective, because the Russian friend "Mr. Yixin" also refused to sign a treaty to ced the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, it was difficult to blame the Chinese.

There is no doubt that the Chinese have no doubt that they have made a decision to fight with Russia. In the East Kazakhstan, their officers and soldiers entered Russia many times to suppress bandits and clashed with the Russians many times. This was simply a blatant invasion. It was just that the Russians accused China of using the Xinshengjing incident when the invasion of East Kazakhstan, claiming that Tsarist Russia was the provocateur.

Alexander II looked at the paper in his hand. This was the information confessed by a Chinese official who fled to Orenburg. The Chinese official was the younger brother of the wife of the Chinese Governor Tianhu City. The Governor was hanged for violating Chinese laws. His relatives failed to rob the prison and fled to Russia in a hurry. When the patrol soldiers found him, he was already dying and had a gunshot wound on his left leg. If he was a few hours later, he would be afraid he would have died.

The Chinese official has now established contact with his old friends in China. The intelligence he provided and the intelligence that the Russians themselves spyed on him have been combined, and the Chinese military deployment has come to life on paper.

"More than 200,000 people..." Alexander II murmured to himself.

Mi Liujing looked grim and said, "The Chinese are very efficient." Yes, in just a short time, in Tianhu City, the Chinese have gathered six armies, and a large number of reserve soldiers and supplies are still being transported over. Obviously, the Chinese are preparing to use Tianhu City as a base to attack Alexandersk, and then use Alexandersk as a springboard to threaten the heartland of Russia.

With the intelligence collected by Chinese defector officials, the Chinese people's strategic intention is not just to fight a border war, but probably to prepare to invade the entire Kazakhstan and include the entire Central Asia in its protection scope. The Braha Khanate, which borders China, has already been thrown into the arms of the Chinese.

"The Chinese will not declare war on us first, this will be its biggest strategic mistake." Marshal Mi Liujing has always been to the point of being able to find the enemy's fatal weakness in the fog.

Yes, no matter how amazing its domestic transportation coordination ability is, it does not have the deterrence of a thunder blow, this slow rhythm allows Russia to deal with its challenges calmly. Now the Russian Empire Corps has gradually arrived at the front line.

The British have long expressed serious concerns about the Sino-Russian conflict, expressed concern about China's risky actions on the border, and expressed more or less sympathy for Russia. This has made the Chinese try their best to engage in public opinion wars and find justice for their actions, which makes it unlikely that he will declare war first.

The emperor's brother Mikhail knocked his pipe and said, "The Mediterranean fleet has passed the Suez Canal."

Mi Liujing's eyes flashed. He had always disagreed with sending a fleet to Nanyang to compete with the Chinese, but Mikhail tried his best to attack the Chinese trade circle, and believed that the rebuilt Mediterranean fleet was fully capable of defeating the Chinese fleet. Although the Chinese navy's ships were active in design and construction and had many new technologies, their naval soldiers were just toddlers. As long as the Imperial fleet learned from the previous defeat and no longer underestimated the enemy, they would definitely be severely damaged.

Moreover, the British had promised to open the ports in the Indian Ocean to repair the Russian fleet on their long-distance voyages, which made the Mediterranean fleet no longer a tired army crossing the ocean, nor was it afraid of the Chinese fleet waiting for labor.

If China can severely damage its fleet and block its waters, it will be a heavy blow to China, and may even change the fate of immigrant cities on the far east and east coast. Once a war breaks out, the area will inevitably fall into a lonely battle and will be flooded by China's infantry ocean very quickly.

Therefore, although Mi Liujing felt that this plan was risky, there was not enough reason to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, I have a preliminary idea of ​​the combat plan." Mi Liujing pointed to the combat map on the table and said in a low voice.

Alexander II's brown eyes began to show surprise, and gradually, they turned into joy and became brighter and brighter...

...

Ye Zhao was flipping through the newspaper in the study room of Dihua Palace.

The foreign newspapers in the concession have almost compiled analytical comparisons of the forces of China and Russia. Of course, communication is inconvenient now, and the channels for obtaining information are even scarce. This analysis is just a very general view of the fog. For example, the Chinese Army's troops are mostly guessed to be about one million people, and the deployment of weapons and equipment numbers is even more contradictory imagination and fiction.

Moreover, most people are not sure whether the war will break out. More than half of the newspapers believe that the dispute will be resolved through negotiations, and only one or two newspapers have swear to judge that the two countries will definitely break out.

Domestic newspapers are mostly inciting hatred against the Oros.

In fact, while sharpening the knife on the front line, the empire's plan to start building the first subway in the capital was not blocked at all. Construction had officially started a few days ago.

Although the subway can only be like London, and runs steam locomotives with thick black smoke will be eliminated soon, Ye Zhao strongly supports this plan. This comprehensive project is a test of the capabilities of imperial construction engineering, science and technology, and is also a kind of accumulation of experience, scientific and technological progress and application progress in parallel and promote each other, so that they can get on the benign track.

Nowadays, the imperial scientific community is exploring and invention enthusiastic, and Ye Zhao is happy to see it.

The door was gently knocked, and the matchmaker walked in. The gorgeous double-breasted crimson tweed military uniform, the matchmaker is now becoming more and more tough, and has less charm from the past. Before she knew it, she became the "iron lady" in the army.

Ye Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go and see the sand table." He also said, "Your war zone is of great importance, it can be said to affect the entire war situation. How about it, are you confident?" The commanders of the three military regions have already decided, matchmakers, Harric and Han Jinchun.

The matchmaker nodded slightly.

Outside the study, dark clouds rolling in the distance, just like a border with millions of Chinese and Russian soldiers, a storm is about to hit.
