After destroying the Cossack pursuit army and rescuing the Bukhara Khanate Alim, the Chinese Defense Force continued to advance and helped him recover Biskek. In this process, the combat power of the Defense Force shocked the Grasslanders again. The fierce and invincible Russian army in front of the Grasslanders had no ability to resist in the attack of hundreds of armored vehicles. The Defense Force destroyed the Russian resistance like a destruction.

The seven thousand Russian troops suffered more than one thousand casualties in the war. The others surrendered and became prisoners. Their next fate would be to build a railway from Ili through Almaty to Biskek. Of course, this road will extend further to the west.

Li Zhe's next meeting with Alim also went smoothly. Alim expressed his gratitude to China for its various support for Bukhara. Bukhara will also repay the great China in all aspects in the future, and will always stand firmly on the side of the Chinese Empire in international affairs. China-Brazil relations have a long history.

However, at this time, these nonsense is no longer important, and real threats of force are the key. In order to strengthen China-Brazil cooperation, not only will Bukhara stand with China in this Sino-Russian War, but in the future, China will intervene in all aspects of railway transportation, economic and trade cooperation and even the military construction of Bukhara. Therefore, it is inevitable that China will station troops in Bukhara.

With a garrison, it means that the Bukhara Khanate depends on the face of the Chinese Empire in many matters. No matter how friendly China is at this time, for Emil Alim of the Bukhara Khanate, it is not essentially different from when Russia was here. He just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, and he had to lament that backward countries cannot truly enjoy sovereignty in this world.

Starting from Biskek, the National Defense Forces' army arrow heads further west, and they will truly enter the vast Central Asian prairie.

Li Zhe, Ma Chao and others looked at the big map in front of them and discussed the next strategy.

According to the plan of the General Staff, the task of continuing to go west and opening up the border between Asia and Europe was to be handed over to Sun Wu and Jiang Lingwu of the Ninth Army. As for the main forces of the 38th Army and the Sixth Army, they were going north from the Central Asian grasslands to find opportunities to annihilate the Russian army. The direct strategic goal was to several stronghold cities on the northern Siberian Railway Line, Novosibirsk or Omsk behind it.

These targets are in the extreme north and span thousands of kilometers away during this period. Except for the 38th Army, no other troops could have such mobility. Even for the 38th Army, this task is a difficult challenge. After all, fighting in China's northern border is not far from the prosperous areas, and logistics can barely keep up. But here, everywhere you go, it is an industrial desert without any logistical support capabilities.

Even a legion like the 38th Army that can be said to be semi-mechanized, it has its limits. Li Zhe and others must make preparations for this. The guides on the ground, navigation in the air, the supply of various military uniforms and materials, and the preparation of cold prevention measures must be calculated in advance. When the army goes to war, all preparations must be done.

Three days later, when the Fifth Army heading north from Almaty had successfully conquered Tardikurgan, the 38th Army and the Sixth Army also set off from Biskek and headed north along the west side of Lake Balkash. The next target was Garaganda on the abdomen of the grassland.

...

The news of the Chinese National Defense Force's rebellion with the two Khanate on the grassland reached Irkutsk. The stone that Nikolaevich had been worried about for a long time finally fell to the ground. Sure enough, as he expected, the Chinese could not help but see the flaws he exposed on the grassland. The army set out to fight against the grassland from the northwest. The next step was probably to go north again and try to reuse the same trick and take action on the Siberian Railway Line.

As he and Blopatkin said, there is nothing to hide when a great power fights. Everything is really on the table. The so-called tricks and tricks are useless at all. In this war, from the situations already shown, Russia's strategic disadvantages are very obvious. If you want to defeat the Chinese, you must fully utilize them in your disadvantages and find your own advantages.

Creating opportunities in the northwest and fighting the decisive battle with the National Defense Force is the Russian army's plan!

Northwest, bitter and cold!

In human history, only the great Russians can survive in such an environment, and only the Russians can build a home and city for human survival from scratch on such a land, build industries, and launch wars against other countries!

Russia's hundreds of years of dominance has not been relying on absolute military strength to defeat the enemy in most cases. Russia has grown up from a small Nordic country to the present, and it really relies on not military strength, but the unique tenacity and hard-working spirit of the Russians who can survive on the ice field and build a home.

Nikolayevich firmly believes that as long as the Chinese National Defense Forces dare to cross thousands of kilometers to attack Sibera, the great Russia will definitely be able to bury them here with the cold geography and weather here.

Therefore, the Siberian Railway Line seems fragile, but to some extent it is indestructible. The war surrounding the Siberian Railway Line is actually not fighting force, but the tenacious will of a nation and its ability to survive in a harsh environment on the ice field.

Novosibirsk, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, and even Yekaterin Arbor, the fragrant fat meat on the lips of the Chinese seems sweet, but it is actually not that easy to eat it. Nikolaevich wants to use this as bait to lure the enemy deeper, thus creating an opportunity for the Russian army to annihilate the Chinese.

Therefore, looking at the loss of cities such as Almaty, Biskek, and even Balkash on the map, Nikolaevich became more and more happy. The Russians' minds had long been nurtured by the vast territory, as vast as the sea. Nikolaevich did not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. It depends on whether the Chinese could resist the temptation to cut off the Siberian Railway and head north. At that time, it would be his good opportunity to take action.

...

On the front line of Sliudanka, the war between China and Russia was still so fierce. The Russian army continued to attack in succession, trying to break through and show, but Zhang Shaozeng's army stood in front of the Russian army like a iron wall, blocking the Russian army to death.

In the northeast of Sliudanka, during the air force's reconnaissance, he accidentally discovered a Cossack cavalry that was bypassing from the north of the North Sea. The Yan Xishan army of Ulan-Ude's side set out urgently, captured this army under the guidance of the air force, surrounded and annihilated it, and smashed another bold military attempt by the Russian army of Irkutsk.

Cao Chong was in charge of Ulan-Ude and fought with the main Russian army with great success. He even had time to train a modern cavalry army from the recruited Mongolian cavalry as the fast mobile force of the front army.

In the rear, with the gradual renovation of the Coulomb Railway, the Shanxi Heavy Industry Base in Inner Mongolia gradually took shape, and the material support and military replenishment from the country became more and more convenient. After the troops were reconciled for more than half a year, the Front Army Headquarters had already attempted to launch another offensive.

...

In the Northeast, with the complete recovery of the Far East, the scattered Russian riots in the surrounding northern areas were gradually wiped out. The former Northeast and North Korean fronts were abolished, and replaced by the establishment of two new provinces, including Chita and Binhai Province. Vladivostok, as one of the new garrisons of the North Sea Fleet, was under the jurisdiction of the navy.

Due to the existence of Japan, North Korea still maintains the military region, but its internal Chineseization has become more and more thorough. It is almost the same as the inland administrative provinces in all aspects. The last king of the Li Dynasty gradually disappeared in front of the people, without any news. The entire peninsula is filled with how powerful my Greater China Defense Forces and how the culture of Greater China has a long history.

Japan's brief colonial rule in Korea completely destroyed the middle class of a whole generation of Koreans, almost cutting off the cultural traditions of the Koreans, but on the other hand, it made room for the entry of the new central authority of the Chinese Empire. In just a few years, the rule of the New Chinese Empire on this small peninsula has been deeply rooted, and many newly grown young people seem to be unable to remember the history of the North Korean country decades ago.

The Korean language that was once circulated in a small area gradually disappeared due to the deliberate suppression during the Japanese colonial period and has completely disappeared since its return to Central China. Korean dialect, as a local accent in Chinese language, has gradually become orthodox and passed down.

...

China's march into the northwest has added another fire to the chaotic international situation, making Americans on the other side deeply worried about the future of the Eurasian continent.

When US Secretary of State Frande Knox visited Europe again, he delivered a speech entitled "Please Stop War for the World", indicating that the United States believes that any act of actively launching a war is worthy of condemnation and immoral, and any action that destroys the existing international political landscape and pulls the whole world into the vortex of war is also dangerous for the war initiators themselves.

This world is a world that should be full of peace and friendship. At least when facing differences, everyone should give up their war behavior and try to use political negotiations and compromises to resolve disputes. In this regard, the United States is willing to make its own efforts.

President Taft of the United States proposed that all countries unite and establish an international organization to rule on disputes for countries, and where conflicts between countries can be resolved together in this organization.

In order to promote his own ideas, President Taft also praised the Allies and the Allies, believing that although these two organizations are full of various problems, their behavior is an example of the regulating disputes between countries within the organization. However, these organizations should not be limited to a small scope, but should be participated together, not only to coordinate the interests of certain countries, but to benefit all participating countries.
