Chapter 408 Go to the East!

"Dear Chief of Staff, are you kidding? Has Vladivostok been captured by you? How is this possible? Although I haven't been there, the French have made it clear that at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops are stationed there, with 100 cannons, and after they participated in the construction, they assured Russia that the fortress could be stationed for at least 20,000 troops for a year!"

In the military port of Lushun, it seems that in order to strengthen his distrust of Chen Ping, Ludendorff waved his right hand while speaking. Although it was a little impolite, this gesture and speech obviously made the staff officer who came with little Mochi look very charming.

Looking at the German army staff officer, although Chen Ping did not know why the emperor included him on the list, it was obvious that this guy was not a simple person, otherwise little Mochi would not have taken him on a visit.

Thinking of this, he immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Ludendorff, do you think it's necessary for me to lie? Although I also admit that the French are experts in building fortresses. They have built a long list of fortresses in Magino, they are obviously too stupid. In my opinion, any fortress is futile. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but they seem to forget that the fortress is immovable!"

These words made Xiao Maoqi, who was visiting the barracks in front of him, pause slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. Ludendorff did not see it and continued: "No, I still don't believe it. Although you have said a lot, as far as I know, the Russians have blocked the waterway with water mines. Can it be said that your fleet has After breaking through this blockade?"

"Ha ha." Chen Ping withdrew his eyes from Xiao Maoqi's wrong right foot and said with a smile, "Mr. Ludendorff, there is a saying in China that seeing is believing, so I think you might as well go there with me."

"Go to Vladivostok? Are you telling the truth? Can we go to Vladivostok and the war zone? This sentence, not to mention Ludendorff, even little Moch was surprised. Although he came here to inspect the strength of the Xinhua Army and wanted to go to the front line, he did not expect it to be realized so easily.

"Dear Mr. Ludwig, the ship has been waiting for us at the port. If everything goes well, I think we can arrive in Vladivostok the day after tomorrow morning."

"Let's go, let's go now." Hearing this, Little Moutch showed the decisiveity of a senior officer and walked out without hesitation. This move made Chen Ping nod secretly. He was born in a famous family and was able to take charge of the German [***] team for so many years. William II trusted him deeply. This is really not an ordinary person.

But Xiao Maoqi is not clear. Shortly after he boarded a medium-sized fast liner with the visiting delegation, the royal family of the Xinhua Empire, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense issued a joint announcement at the same time, announcing that after 25 days of continuous fighting, the army had recovered Irkutsk after making great sacrifices. The vast land, including Uginsk, Chita, Nibuchu, Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi, annihilated a total of 130,000 enemy troops and won the first victory after the war!

This announcement was like a thunderbolt. As the telephone lines and newspapers set off a wild wave in China, the students walked out of the campus and took to the streets one after another. They sang and laughed to celebrate the good news in various forms, even those who were once called numb by Mr. Lu Xun in history. Ordinary Chinese people are also excited by this exciting trick that has been passed to their ears by various means. Maybe they will not show off in front of people, but they pinch their fists fiercely at home, in the kitchen or in the quilt.

How many years has it been?

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the huge heavenly kingdom seems to have been invaded by foreigners until the short bursting of the Ming Dynasty, but it fell under the iron hoof of the Eight Banners. Today, they can finally raise their heads and tell the whole world that the sons and daughters of China are back!

Those who violate our China will be killed even if they are far away!

Maybe this sentence can't be shouted out openly, but hundreds of years later, when I went out of the country to fight, I won a great victory to anniperate more than 100,000 enemies and recover a large area of land! What's more exciting than this?

When the news of celebration spread to Li Mo's ears through various channels, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. This is what he wants to see most. The strength of a nation can not be achieved by accumulation and development alone. Only by awakening the hearts of the people, awakening pride, and awakening the blood in the hearts of the people, can this country have hope!

Even ordinary people know that there is no money and no power, but if you don't have backbone, you can only be a slave!

Only war can awaken this kind of pride! Only the victory of recovering the homeland!

So he not only did not worry about this kind of excitement, but continued to deepen the report through the Prime Minister's Office. He not only asked the Ministry of Defense to reveal some details and select some heroes and deeds for publicity, but also let the gradually improved local government axe to carry out a publicity war from top to bottom by posting announcements and other means.

The students were the first to wake up. These young people who were in a hot-blooded age who were able to enter the campus because of the implementation of free education were excited by the announced victories, and also quietly wiped their tears because of a series of shocking list of casualties. Li Mo believes that in another ten years, tens of millions of students will be expelled. Gradually entering the society and moving to the front-line position, this beginning to permeate the pride will spread over them.

Journalists from all over the world were also burned by this great victory craze. Compared with the boiling people, they were obviously a little at a loss or even panicked, because no one expected that in just one month, they would achieve such a brilliant victory under the condition that their strength was not as good as their opponents, which was really unreliable!

When they began to send Xinhua's domestic news to China through a telegram with their own thoughts, Little Maoqi also arrived in Vladivostok with his delegation.

Although he imagined the possibility of completing many battles in Vladivostok so quickly in the past two days, and even thought that the strength of the Russian army was too poor to surrender collectively, when he entered Vladivostok from the forward base accompanied by Chen Ping, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The huge Vladivostok fortress is full of traces of bombed stone castles and gunpowder. The blackness and blood stains on the walls prove that several fierce battles have taken place here!

How on earth did the Chinese do it?

Do they really have the ability to break the fortress head-on?

When questions rose from little Mochi's mind, Ludendorff suddenly found that the loess under his feet seemed to have just been filled, and there was too much scorched black around, as if there had been a fire here, but this idea only stayed for a moment, because in his opinion, the loess may be China. People deliberately fill in a large amount of blood in order to drink themselves. As for those charred blacks, although there are a few, the shells themselves will bring flames.

When Ludendorff gave up checking and began to ask several Xinhua officers about the details of the battle, Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help scolding that the "battle scene" in front of him was too much, so that you could get more traces of explosion and not use TNT. The whole Vladivostok has been blown up. You can't see a complete building, can you?

And in the field hospital just now, thousands of fucking "injured soldiers" were injured in three positions of their heads, hands and feet, wouldn't they wrap some white cloth and wipe some sheep's blood on their bodies?

"So, your army fought through an airship and a six-inch shell?"

"Yes." Chen Ping quickly seized the opportunity to cover up the loophole and said seriously, "We used some airships. We have been dropping about 3,000 tons of bombs from the sky for more than 20 days. The infantry did not enter until they entered after the main building was destroyed, but they still suffered some losses."

This data made Ludendorff's eyes wide open. He forgot what he had just found, and his heart also exclaimed secretly. Three thousand tons, God, no wonder we can't see a complete building.

Soon, Xiao Maoqi finished the inspection. To be honest, there was nothing to see here, because except for the broken wall or the broken wall, the whole Vladivostok has become a garbage dump. Except for proving that the firepower of the Xinhua Army is strong, nothing can be seen.

"Mr. Chen Ping, I want to go to Shuang..."

Before Xiao Maoqi finished speaking, he suddenly saw a soldier carrying a strange big backpack with a long antenna stretched out of Chen Ping, handed over a note and quickly left.

Chen Ping secretly glanced at Xiao Maoqi. Seeing that he was staring at the figure of the messenger without blinking, he was ecstatic and quickly deliberately shook the note in his hand: "Mr. Ludwig, do you want to visit the Twin Cities? That's great. I just received the news that it was under the control of our army a few minutes ago.

"A few minutes ago? I just got the news!" Little Maoqi's heart jumped and hurriedly asked, "With all due respect, is the soldier here to convey the news?" How could he know the news from a few minutes ago? Did your army control the telegraph station first?

It's hooked!

Chen Ping pretended to be in trouble and thought for a long time before he said, "Dear Mr. Ludwig, he is indeed a messenger, but I can't tell you how we deliver the message, because it belongs to the highest secret of our country!"

"The highest secret!"

Little Mochi seemed to understand. In fact, since the Xinhua Navy intercepted the Japanese return fleet, many people were guessing how they positioned and found the Japanese. At that time, he suspected that Xinhua might have some unknown technology until he heard about the science of Tesla, a famous one in the United States. He once studied a radio long-distance communication technology, and according to intelligence, Tesla invented alternating current and transferred all the technical patents to Li Mo, so he suspected that this long-distance communication technology was likely to have made a breakthrough!

But he did not continue to ask. As the supreme commander of the national army, he also knew what to ask and what to ask. He knew very well how important this technology that does not rely on fixed telegraph stations can be contacted anytime and anywhere is. If he can, he is even willing to exchange it with several battleships!

And Li Mo mastered this technology and showed it in front of him, which showed that it could be sold, just like the original battleship, and all he had to consider was the price.

So what he is not thinking about is to get this technology, but what conditions he can use to get this kind of equipment that can even change the mode of war, but what conditions to use make him difficult. Li Mo is definitely a master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and his appetite is extremely greedy. What will he ask? Question mark

On September 3, 1903, the visiting German Chief of General Staff, Xiao Maoqi and his entourage returned to Yanjing after their visit to Vladivostok. The accompanying reporters immediately sent what they saw back to Europe by telegram, which immediately caused an uproar.

Because all the communications to Siberia were interrupted, Russia did not know the specific situation there. Although Xinhua newspapers had reported the news of the victory before, not to mention Russia, even Britain and France did not believe that the news was true. In their opinion, it was Li Mo's inspiring trick.

But when the German reporter personally checked the news of the captured Vladivostok, the whole Europe was silent and fell into a long silence, because everyone knew that if the news released by Xinhua was true, it would indicate that the Russian army in Siberia had almost lost almost all its strategic initiative and a defeat. The battle is doomed!

Nicholas II was completely bombed. He couldn't figure out why he had raised so many officers. Why he couldn't relieve the emperor's worries at the critical moment, couldn't provide some good news, and took over and got the news through the enemy's mouth.

His Majesty the angry Tsar vented all his anger on the accusations of the army. Finally, under his strict order, the military immediately announced the recruitment of another 500,000 soldiers. In addition, the strict order was still lingering. Zarubayev, the commander of the Western Front, who knew nothing about the eastern war, immediately led the army to reinforce Kuropat. General Jin.

At this time, Rear Admiral Rozhestwinsky, who had been working hard for the empire, suggested to Nicholas II that Xinhua had sent all the main army to the north, so there was no defense in the south, and the fleet should be dispatched immediately, relying on the Dili under General Witthft as the base. Looking for the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Xinhua Navy, even if it is only a part of it, as long as it can eventually occupy Borneo and Luzon, it can threaten the rich southeast coast of Xinhua, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the north.

There are still loyal ministers!

Nicholas II patted his thigh and immediately accepted Major General Rogers Winster's suggestion to send the World Third Fleet to completely clean up the Far East.

This plan scared Grand Duke Alexander Rović, the Minister of the Navy, to death. During this period, he always suggested that he should wait until France provided the new battleships for a decisive battle, and the five Borodino-class had just been delivered, and even some small processes had not been completed. Not to mention the sea test, he immediately entered the palace and was ready to stop it. Stop this plan.

But how could Nicholas II still hear it at this time? What's more, according to his idea, although Xinhua must have a new battleship, he is not a vegetarian. The number of more than 200 mm guns owned by the Third World Navy is twice that of Xinhua, so he didn't even listen to it, and directly took Alexander Luo Grand Dukeovich drove out of the palace and stubbornly ordered the fleet to leave within ten days.

Go to the East!

Bury those oriental infidels who have destroyed peace in Russia in the sea!
