Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Sign it, sign it!" shouted the Germans present.

"If you don't sign, within two hours, half of Prague will be reduced to ruins." Xiao Maoqi ruthlessly asserted that hundreds of airships had been loaded with bombs and were about to take off.

Time is ticking.The fate of Prague loomed direly before President Hacha.But he still refused to sign.Due to the extreme pain, the president, who was already frail and sickly, passed out due to exhaustion.The doctor who had been waiting beside him rescued him and brought him back to life.

Time continues to fly by.It is already 04:30 in the morning.Threats, inducements, and blackmail have never stopped.Hacha passed out again, then was revived again, and finally in a state of half-death maintained entirely by injections, he signed insensibly and at the mercy of others.

When Little Moltke forced President Hacha of Czechoslovakia to sign the "deed of sale" with a bayonet, William II happily rushed into his palace after receiving the exciting news, and embraced his queen warmly. cried: "Darling, this is the greatest day of my life! I will go down in history as the greatest German monarch!"

William is overjoyed about this "signing" event, and there are reasons for him.

According to the overall military strategic deployment planned by him and senior military officials such as Maoqi, the acquisition of the Sudetenland region and the conquest of Czechoslovakia are not goals in themselves.Even the annexation of Serbia was but a preparatory step in a larger campaign to capture Poland and Russia, to gain living space in Eastern Europe.So, for this purpose, Czechoslovakia had to serve as a bridgehead from which to attack - not only politically, but also materially.Germany's military victory over Czechoslovakia was not just a region of Sudetenland, but the entire country.Now he really got it, and he got it without bloodshed by relying on Germany's powerful military deterrence!

Just before President Hacha signed the "Deed of Sale" and came back, William led an army of 10 troops, personally marched, and arrived in Prague in advance. He came to the presidential office building arrogantly, made a simple inspection, and then walked into Hacha The president's office, on his desk wrote this sentence: "From today, Czechoslovakia no longer exists!"

What also pleased William was that after his military force dismembered Czechoslovakia, Britain and France, the self-proclaimed leaders of Europe, dared not do anything other than stunned or a few empty threats.William has seen through their "schizophrenia" and "fear of war".

"Now we can let Britain and France get away and do our own business!" He looked around, and found that there were so many open doors and so many wide roads lying in front of him.So, William flipped through the customized menu one by one: Poland - the next hunting target, then Russia, France, the British Isles...

In short, he wants to fill the whole world with the smell of blood!

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 298 Order No. 1

Time: January 1896, 1 Location: Qianqing Palace, Beijing Weather: Yuxue Guan Xuqing personally presided over a secret meeting in front of the imperial court. The participants were Feng Xianghua, the highest officer of the Imperial Military Supreme Command, Xu Shichang, Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army, and Cao Cao, Deputy Chief of Staff Kun, Chief of the Army Operations Department Wang Shizhen, Commander of the Northeast Military Region Dong Liang, Commander of the Southeast Military Region Lu Yiwei, Commander of the Southwest Military Region Liu Mingchuan, Director of the Imperial Security Bureau Zhao Bingjun, and other senior military officers were all present. Army, unable to attend the meeting, had to ask the military secretariat to telex him the content of the meeting after the meeting.The participants are discussing the next step of the battle plan and tactical details.Because just yesterday, the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Zuolin reached a border town 15 kilometers away from Moscow with such force, and at the same time, Liu Jintang’s Western Expeditionary Army also broke up the Russians’ western siege in the county and was heading towards Yeka. Departure from Terinaburg.After occupying the city of Novosibirsk, the Central Army captured Tomsk, an important town in south-central Russia, and is about to cross the Vasyugan Plain to west Russia.

This is exciting news, but at the same time, Guan Xuqing's heart is slowly tightening due to the deepening of the war. Unlike the United States, Russia's political, cultural, and economic centers are mainly in the western region. St. Petersburg, Moscow, The most important cities such as Yekaterinaburg are almost all clustered in the far west, and they are very close to the border. If there are no countries such as Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus as buffer zones, St. Petersburg will be directly exposed to the guns of Germany. Down.Therefore, from the very beginning, the general strategy of the Imperial Army was to sweep from west to east, and finally go straight to the main cities in the west.The first one exposed to the eyes of the Chinese army right now is Moscow. Nicholas II will definitely organize the most powerful fortifications to defend here. This will be an extremely tragic battle.

At the meeting, the chief feature of Xu Shichang's proposal was that, regardless of the surrounding satellite cities, let the Eastern Expeditionary Army launch a particularly violent main attack on Moscow, the political and transportation center of the Soviet Union, as soon as it came up.

Dong Liang, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, disagreed with this suggestion. He advocated clearing the defense forces around Moscow first, and finally took Moscow City in one go.

Both Xu Shichang's plan and Dong Liang's plan have always believed that in order to launch a full-scale attack on Moscow in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to prevent an orderly retreat like Russia's against Napoleon, and finally let the French lion fall. Halberd on the ruins of Moscow.At the same time, both the Army and the Supreme Command agreed to occupy as much Russian territory as possible, which would eliminate the danger of Russian airships entering Chinese territory, and at the same time allow Chinese airship groups to approach Russian industrial cities for bombing to the greatest extent possible.

Guan Xuqing stood at the side of the long table with a gloomy expression. The chandelier above his head shone light on his face from top to bottom, leaving two black shadows in the lower part of his eye sockets. From a distance, he looked like a majestic statue of an emperor. , but from the mouth of the statue came out a passionate, cadenced voice: "Today, I want to sign the No. Yes, it is the strongest fortress built by Tsar Nicholas II. I have never had a good impression of Russia. It is ignorant, backward, conservative, selfish, and greedy. It has repeatedly invaded the territory of our country and neighboring countries in history. Being a neighbor will be the biggest obstacle to the development of the empire!"

As he said that, Guan Xuqing started to walk along the long table. Following the change of the lights above his head, the generals sitting opposite saw the fire-like light emanating from the two big shadows. "Don't be intimidated by its superficial size." Guan Xuqing walked to the other end of the long table and continued, "Tsarist Russia is rotten, and the Russian army is rotten to the bone. There was no need to send so many outstanding soldiers to the Bloodshed and sacrifices on the front line. However, this is the responsibility and mission of soldiers, and only they are qualified to defend the dignity of the empire!"

Although there was no sound in the hall, the hearts of every senior general were excited by the emperor's words.

Guan Xuqing sat back on the emperor's throne, picked up the teacup subconsciously, and glanced at Xu Shichang: "Now, I would like to ask Xu Shichang, chief of staff of the army, to introduce the specific battle plan."

Xu Shichang stood up, first saluted the emperor with a standard military salute, then nodded to the generals and marshals on the left and right, turned over the thick battle plan on the table, and glanced at it.Although he dare not say that he has memorized the content of this plan fluently, at least he has memorized it by heart.

"The Imperial Armed Forces must crush the main Russian army in one quick campaign. The basic idea of ​​this campaign is to use the largest formation of airships to carry out a series of powerful and far-reaching assaults in several directions on the battlefield, dividing the front cut off the connection between the frontier positions of the Russian army and the important towns in the rear, and annihilate them before the arrival of Russian reinforcements." At this point, Xu Shichang paused, swallowed his saliva, and glanced at the generals around him. He listened attentively, and then continued.

"Specifically speaking, it is to use cavalry units to quickly and deeply wedge, fight boldly, and destroy the main force of the Russian army on the western front. And send an infantry unit to block the retreat of the Russian army on the western front and prevent enemy troops capable of combat Withdraw to the vast regions of Russia.

Second, the Western Expeditionary Army should quickly launch a pursuit, advance beyond the line where Russian airships cannot attack the territory of Xinjiang, and establish a broad line of defense from the Ob River to the Irtysh River, completely dividing St. Petersburg and other major cities.

Third, at the beginning of the war, it is necessary to quickly find out the location of the Russian airship base and deal a heavy blow to prevent its effective operations. "

Xu Shichang took a sip of water and continued in a slightly hoarse voice: "In view of the fact that the Sino-Russian battlefield is too long, the war in the final stage will be carried out simultaneously in the three independent strategic directions of Yekaterinaburg, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Three large-scale strategic battles in the central and northern regions. For the specific deployment of troops and offensive routes, generals, please take a look at the sand table." After speaking, Xu Shichang turned around and walked to a huge sand table, turned on the ceiling light on the sand table, and acted gracefully. After making a "please" gesture, the generals gathered together silently with serious expressions.

"The central group, under the command of Zhang Zuolin, led the first to fourth armies, and with the support of the second airship brigade, carried out an assault from Sektfukar to Yarosyavl, and wiped out the Russian guards stationed there. Eighth, No.14 and No.15 legions, capture Moscow." Dong Liang looked at the situation marked on the sand table, and then looked forward to see the distance to attack, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly pinched for Zhang Zuolin Sweating, but still nodded.

"The Northern Group, under the command of Zhang Yu, has the 5th to 10th Army Groups, four Cavalry Divisions, and an Airship Battalion. They launched a pincer offensive from the Vasyugan Plain to the South and North, encircling and annihilating the Russian Guards. Army five legions."

"The Southern Group, under the command of Liu Jintang, has jurisdiction over the 12th, 17th, and 20th Army Groups, two cavalry divisions and an airship formation, attacking Yekaterinaburg as the general direction, and annihilating the Russian army west of the Irtysh River .”

"In addition, our current allies Germany and Ottoman Turkey have also promised to carry out flanking auxiliary assaults. This operation, together with our allied forces, has a total of 853400 people. The empire will dispatch 20 army groups, 500 airships, and even when necessary Planes will also be dispatched to carry out a devastating blow to Russia on the vast land west of the Irtysh River!"

"Generals," at this moment, Guan Xuqing spoke in a tone that sounded like Kaiser Wilhelm II, "this is the main point of fighting against Russia. Russia's winter is cruel and merciless. Cruel and merciless. This is a war of national dignity. If we lose, all past efforts will be in vain. On the contrary, Russia will completely disappear from the list of world powers. All preparations for the war must be done secretly and secretly The final date for all preparations to be completed is January 1!"

Guan Xuqing's eyes were gloomy, and he supported the edge of the sand table with both hands, looked from left to right, straightened up abruptly, and said to the people present: "There must be no mercy for attacks from three directions. However, I emphasize again, The Central Group’s attack on Moscow will be the focus of the entire campaign. After the meeting, Zhang Zuolin was telegraphed, ordering him to use the most powerful attack force to smash Russia’s most important transportation and defense industrial center. Starting today, I announce this The operational plan is code-named 'Lion'."

He cast his eyes into the distance, as if he was talking to himself: "It's time for the lion to wake up. At that time, the whole world will be shocked, and the invincible Russians will also be attacked by the most powerful Chinese iron fist." Bash!"

Moscow is the largest city in Russia and the center of economy, culture and transportation.It is located in the middle of the Eastern European Plain, on both sides of the Moskva River, connected with the Volga River by a canal, and its strategic position is extremely important.

In 1147 AD, Moscow was first recorded in history.It was originally just a small village. The castle was built in 1156. From 1237 to 1238, it was destroyed by the Mongolian Tatars. In 1480, the Muscovites threw off the yoke of the Mongol-Tatars.Since the second half of the 13th century, it has been the center of the independent Muscovite Principality.Around the middle of the 14th century, the Duchy of Moscow expanded into the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In 1547, Ivan won the title of Tsar. From then on, until 1711, Moscow became the capital of Tsarist Russia, which was constantly expanding outward. In 1711, Peter I moved the capital to St. Petersburg (now Leningrad), after which Moscow was still an important city, and the Tsar always spent part of his time in Moscow every year. In 1812, Napoleon occupied Moscow and set it on fire.The Russian army and people led by the famous general Kutuzov defeated Napoleon's invading army and forced it to retreat hastily.After the reforms of Alexander II in 1861, the construction of Moscow developed enormously.It is not only the center of all-Russian railways, roads and transportation, but also becomes a port navigable by five seas (Baltic Sea, White Sea, Black Sea, Azov Sea and Caspian Sea).Now, the huge Chinese army is approaching here, and the cold Moscow is bound to accept a severe test.

ps: Some friends said that the plots are repeated. I can guarantee that there is no repetition, but the tactical thinking and combat methods may be similar. After all, it is difficult to think that there are so many wars that are not similar at all.In addition, I asked for flowers. After several days, the flowers hardly grew. I don’t know if my friends don’t like too many war scenes.

Soaring: World War I Chapter 299 Codenamed Lion

At this time, Zhang Zuolin was really restless in the base camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

This base camp was built in a dense forest. Although it was already winter, the construction of the base camp had really put in a lot of effort.In this icy and snowy land, the air is filled with the smell of rotting leaves and grass.

Several gray simple houses are connected by an asphalt path.Zhang Zuolin's office and living were in the "First Security Zone", which at that time consisted of a group of wooden barracks and a one-story concrete bunker divided into small compartments.A few hundred yards away, on the opposite side of the road from Rastenburg to Angerburg (Staff Headquarters at Base Camp), Jorel's Bureau of Operations occupied a similarly sized camp—Second Security Sector.

Less than a week after the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived here, Zhang Zuolin boasted that he expected to occupy Moscow by the end of this month.At that time, he believed that the Russian Army had lost most of its elite troops, and that it might no longer have any strength to compete with the Eastern Expeditionary Army.He even thought that Moscow's defenders might come to him for peace.

When the advancing process of the Eastern Expeditionary Army can be described as fast, at the beginning, it was menacing, like a typhoon, surrounded the two Russian troops between Vyazma and Bryansk, and severely damaged them. loss.After that, the forward of the Far Eastern Army has reached 40 kilometers away from Moscow.At this time, not only Zhang Zuolin, but even his generals believed that with Zhang Zuoling's bold leadership, taking Moscow would not be a problem.

But the sky didn't work out, and on the second day of stationing here, the base camp ushered in a heavy snowfall.In just half a day, the place was covered with 6 inches of snow and the temperature dropped to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not reached in the farther north.

As soon as the sun came out, the once endless Russian grassland turned into a black and white quagmire. The criss-cross dirt roads were already full of potholes, mixed with snow and muddy.The central group besieging Moscow was almost paralyzed by snow, water and mud.Nothing to do but walk and the tiniest of carts.

In the Eastern Expedition Army, it is common to see such a scene: a group of Chinese soldiers huddled together in the howling wind, or trudged listlessly on the muddy road, or rolled in mud, desperately dragging Looking at the cannon and weapon baggage sunken in the mire puddle.The prestige that swept East Siberia in the past is gone.As a result, reports of complaining, blaming, and complaining were sent to Zhang Zuolin's desk one after another.Although Zhang Zuolin was very anxious, he was helpless in the face of the damn weather, terrible roads and exhausted troops, but the sound of "Mom Scar" kept coming every day.

On January 1, the fiery Zhang Zuolin couldn't wait any longer. Near 20 am, the Chinese attack began.As usual, two airship formations were first sent to bombard the Russian positions on the Moscow front line indiscriminately, with the potential to turn every inch of land over.Then the cavalry divisions began to attack.

Through the binoculars, the division commander Luzhkov saw that on the white snow, countless Chinese soldiers were moving towards this side little by little.He put down the binoculars and said loudly to the soldiers gathered in the trench: "Boys, the Chinese are so generous. They sent so many targets up for our enjoyment. We must be worthy of them. Don't let the guests run errands back and forth. Load the bullets." , cannon calibration, far away, let them eat cannonballs, close-up, let them taste the bullets!"

boom!The Chinese artillery first roared at the opposite Russian position!A Chinese cavalry division came over from the small hills facing the Russians on three sides. Although Luzhkov's subordinates had been baptized in the Great War and had learned Chinese tactics, they saw that the enemy drove up so many Chinese troops at once today. , I couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and when the enemy came in bursts of artillery fire, some soldiers ran back to the main trench on the ground from the foxholes in front, and squatted in the trench, not daring to look up.

Luzhkov was in a hurry, and he rushed from one end of the trench to the other, shouting incessantly: "Hey, Andrei, hit me! Don't embarrass the Guards! And you, Sarah!" Hey, how did you bastard lead the army? Come on, get up, big man, don't you feel uncomfortable squatting in this place? Fight! Russian warriors, fight me! It's up to you!" Russian soldier One by one, they straightened up, picked up their guns, and fired a burst of fire, slowing down the momentum of the Chinese cavalry's charge.

However, the artillery fire by the Chinese was too fierce. Tons of shells were poured on the Russian positions. Many Russian soldiers in the trenches were covered in dust and did not dare to look up.Under the cover of artillery fire, the Chinese cavalry rushed frantically from both wings. The ones in front were hit, and the ones behind swarmed up.The whole hill trembled amidst the sound of rumbling guns and the sound of horseshoes.Luzhkov personally supervised the battle, and his soldiers fought back desperately, but the vanguard of the Chinese cavalry approached the main trench.

The moment the first cavalry detachment set foot on the Russian position, Luzhkov saw Captain Andrey, who was closest to him, holding a powder barrel in his hand, pressing his back against the back wall of the trench, and pouring the smoking powder into the air. The barrel was pushed upwards vigorously, and at the same time Andre's eyes were wide open. Although there was a flash of fear of death in his eyes, he didn't have the slightest intention to avoid it, until countless horseshoes smashed his head and covered his face, swallowing him like a mountain. At this moment, with a loud noise, two thick clouds of smoke and dust rose from the trench, just like steam from a locomotive. Dozens of Chinese cavalrymen and horses were blown up to the sky, and what fell was either blood or remains. Limbs and limbs, the Russian trenches immediately rained blood.

Despite this, the follow-up cavalry came like a tide, but just after passing the Russian defense line, they were blown up by the explosive barrels thrown in the trench. Before Luzhkov could catch his breath, a row of dense shells exploded near the trench , Another cavalry company arrived in the smoke.

At this time, the signal soldier following Luzhkov shouted: "Master, be careful!" It was bright red, and he collapsed on the ground, one hand was still tightly holding the telegraph, the upper half of the telegraph had been blasted to nowhere.Luzhkov's eyes were red, as if breathing fire and dripping blood.At this time, the Chinese cavalry company had already crossed the Russian defense line. Luzhkov grabbed the leather cap that slid to his forehead, picked up a powder barrel, gritted his teeth and lit the fuse. A puff of blue smoke came out, hissing. rattle.He straightened his body, opened his eyes wide, and shouted: "Damn it, yellow-skinned monkey, come on! Russia is vast, but we have no way out, and Moscow is behind! Bastard, come on, come on!" !" The last few words he yelled with all his strength were drowned in the rumbling noise...

Flying Heads: World War I Chapter 300 Swords of Moscow

As soon as this hill was occupied by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the news reached the group leader Panfilov. He took off his military cap silently and closed his eyelids. The people around him didn't know that something happened to Luzhkov, but But they could see that this normally calm teacher had two lines of hot tears streaming down his eyes.After a long time, Panfilov opened his eyes, looked ahead, and whispered: "Tell the words of Commander Luzhkov to the whole army, no, to every defender of Moscow. Russia is vast, but we have no Back off, Moscow is behind!"

The harsh local weather and the tenacious style of the Russian Guards made the progress of the Eastern Expeditionary Army's offensive unsatisfactory. However, the stubborn Zhang Zuolin also put up a stance of a decisive battle this time. Take Moscow sooner and end this damn war sooner.Therefore, he also cheered up for a while, sending out waves of madness.In the northwest and due north of Moscow, the expeditionary force has occupied Klin and Solnechnogorsk in one go, and is approaching Moscow step by step-along the Volga Canal, and even crossed the canal in the Yakhroma area.Southwest and due south of Moscow, the Expeditionary Forces have occupied Tapsa, surrounded Tula on three sides, and are approaching Kashira.
