?Faced with the sudden outbreak of the South China Sea War, the XV Group led by Britain and France naturally tried to force Japan to release the state of combat with the Netherlands to avoid conflicts between the two Allied Group members and any other chemical reactions that would eventually arise.-<  >- . They were indeed worried that the Japanese-Dutch conflict would eventually lead to the Allied Group being divided. If the Allied Group really collapsed, the losses caused by the European war between Britain, France and Russia in recent years would inevitably be unable to support the war between the four alliances alone.

Former British Prime Minister Asquis was the first to formulate a plan to mediate the conflict between Japan and the Netherlands. He believed that the Japanese should not be too angry to force Japan to withdraw from the Allies. At that time, he used trade sanctions as a threat to try to force Japan to stop coveting the Dutch colonies. Unfortunately, he ignored the differences between Eastern countries and Western countries. In Western countries, merchants had a huge influence on the top governments. In the East, although merchants have risen in modern times, they still have to act according to the government's face.

Unlike history, Japan failed to occupy Shandong and accept Germany's industry in China at this time. Since the outbreak of the European War, the war monster of Japan, who only ate a few islands in the Pacific, was hungry. The Dutch colony was a piece of roasted delicious barbecue with fragrant oil in front of them, so how could it be let go? Especially the current Japanese government is a strong government under the leadership of the military. The Japanese citizens cannot tolerate the "cowardice" of the government in foreign negotiations. Moreover, the Japanese have prepared for so long to go south. When all the various combinations are combined, the Masatoshi Tanaka will definitely not compromise because of a little threat from the Allied Powers.

As a result, Asquisman thought that he could force Japan to stop invading the Dutch colonies, but he did not want to get a flat rejection from Japan. In order to prevent the British Far East Fleet from intervening in the South Ocean conflict, the Japanese Navy launched a tense confrontation on the vast sea between Singapore and Batavia. It seemed that the British had restrained Japan's maritime power, but it was not. Because the Dutch colonial naval fleet was originally only a few warships, and they were all destroyed at the beginning of the conflict. The Japanese naval fleet heading south was actually the most important thing to deal with the British and American fleets that might intervene.

Moreover, Asquith also made a mistake. The trade between Japan and the Allies is no longer something that the European Allies can use as a weapon. Because Japanese manufacturers are indeed inseparable from the European market, but how can the European market leave Japanese manufacturers? Especially after losing China, Europe has already experienced a shortage of materials in the past few months.

The European war not only brought business opportunities to the United States, but also to Asia and South America. Moreover, as far away from the European war, among the only two countries with relatively complete industrial foundations, Japan and China's factories are even more focused on the manufacturing of civilian industrial products than American factories, especially in light industries that are related to people's livelihood, such as cotton textiles and food processing.

The Americans made a lot of war money and now they are increasingly looking down on the income of light industry. Because compared to these, rifles, pistols, warships, merchant ships, submarines, artillery and even aircraft sold to the Allies are more profitable, and the profit is far higher than those of light industry. Moreover, the United States is gradually moving into the wartime industrial system, and the top American leaders are already attracted by sending troops to Europe, and have now begun to prepare, just waiting for the Allies to issue chips that will make them excited.

In this case, the Allies are even more inseparable from the industrial products produced by Japan, especially after losing China. As for South America and other Asian countries, we must resolutely forget them. There are only a few countries in the world that are industrialized at night. Although many South American countries have been out of the colonial system for more than half a century, they have not been able to complete industrial transformation under the suppression of Europe and the United States.

Moreover, within the agreement, there is no complete agreement on suppressing Japan's major powers. Three-quarters of France's territory is now under the iron hoof of Germany, and there is no food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is even more inseparable from products produced from Asia. When the Sino-Russian conflict, because China had not stopped selling supplies to Britain and France, France was very opposed to forcing China to join the allies. Now all countries are desperately changing civilian factories into military factories in order to create more aircraft, tanks, artillery, rifles and bullets. Under this situation, the shortage of civilian products in various European countries is even more serious. France has successively implemented the rationing system for certain light industrial products. As for the shortage, we can only count on imports from outside.

Therefore, Asquith's plan was destined to be impossible to succeed from the beginning.

In Southeast Asia, while Japan is launching a continuous strong attack on the Dutch colonial army and some local indigenous armed forces supporting Dutch rule, a war is about to begin in Siberia thousands of miles away.

A week ago, intelligence personnel from the Investigation Bureau on the side of Tannu Ulianghai accidentally discovered that a Russian battalion was empty, and the whereabouts of at least one division of the Russians were unknown. After the news came from Kulun to Wu Peifu, he was always on guard. Later, when the third division of the Iranian Army led by Wu Peifu surrounded Irkutsk, the Russian division seemed to have evaporated from the human world, disappearing from the intelligence network of the National Defense Forces and China lurking in the Tannu Ulianghai.

It was not until a few days ago that the Xiawujinsk was attacked day and night by Sun Guangchen's cavalry, caught the Russians off guard. Shortly after he took down the Russian supplies supply point at least a thousand miles away from the National Defense Force, a Cossack cavalry suddenly broke out from the south and almost recaptured Xiawujinsk. The National Defense Force finally confirmed that there was a problem with the information from China. It turned out that what the Russians disappeared was a Cossack cavalry division that had gone without a trace. If it weren't for the cavalry of the National Defense Forces who took Xiawujinsk, the National Defense Force used airships to supply a batch of machine guns and other heavy weapons to the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Forces, which was not easy to capture, might have been taken back by the Russians.

Because the National Defense Force quickly armed the Ukinsk, the Russian Cossack Cavalry Division could not be recaptured without heavy weapons. So after two days of stalemate, it disappeared into the vast land of Siberia. Although Wu Peifu led his army to pursue it, it took several days to re-lock the location of the Cossack Cavalry.

"Be careful, all units, the Russian army is approaching the ambush circle!" It was already snowing in Siberia in late September. The vast land of Siberia was full of snow and white everywhere. The National Defense Force sent several cavalrymen, all of which were well-known in the terrain and were better at marching in Siberia. The Russian Cossack cavalry, who were better at marching in Siberia, were solved by the Russian Cossack cavalry.

After a reconnaissance plane that took off took off several reconnaissances in the unknown southwest direction, the National Defense Force finally locked in the cavalry. Their march was very fast and was about to approach the location of Wu Peifu's army. It seemed that the Cossack cavalry was preparing to take advantage of the situation and attack and severely attack Wu Peifu's army.

The stationed place of the National Defense Force is located twenty miles away from Zhaomutule, a small town where the Tuva people live. A place that is located within four or five hundred miles from the Russian Far East Army, Kizil and Irkutsk, is now located in the Russian Far East Army. The terrain of this nearby area is flat and there are not many places suitable for ambushing. However, the dense birch forest can limit the marching speed of the Russian Cossack cavalry. After receiving the information notice from the land aerial reconnaissance plane, Wu Peifu decided to

He actively exposed the station of the National Defense Force, and then built a simple defense line nearby overnight. Relying on the dense birch forest nearby to restrain the Russian cavalry's power and lay ambushing several places outside. When the Russians discovered them and launched an attack on them, Wu Peifu would concentrate the main force of the Iranian army and damage or destroy the Cossack cavalry as much as possible. Then he went south to capture Kizil, and cooperated with the main force of the Central Route Army of the National Defense Force, which was counterattacking the northwest border, and launched a counterattack against Russia.

The Chinese have lost their memory of Siberia for too long. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have rarely entered this area. Although they prepared enough protection and military coats before the war, during this period of time, in Siberia, where the temperature is approaching minus 20 to 30 degrees below zero, the non-combat reduction of Wu Peifu's troops is still increasing. So far, at least more than 1,400 soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness due to frostbite and other frostbite.

The National Defense Forces are now competing for time with God, and really delaying the war for the Russians for two more months. It is estimated that only their Iraqi army would have to fallen to the fall of at least a group of people.

"Send the order, don't stop digging trenches and traps. All ambush troops will pull white cloth covers to avoid exposing their whereabouts!"

"yes!"

Although the land in Siberia is as hard as steel in winter, a simple front has been formed with the work of tens of thousands of people.

In 1654, Ukrainian Cossack leader Khmernisky rose up to resist Poland and was suppressed. He turned to Tsarist Russia for help in the case of military failure. Khmernisky signed the Bereyaslav Agreement with Russia and announced that he would accept Tsarist Russia's protection. After an 80-year running-in period until 1722, Tsarist Russia abolished the Cossacks Geatman autonomy. Ukrainian Governor Rumentsev adapted 10 Cossack legions into 10 regular cavalry regiments of the Russian army. Tsarist Russia completely annexed the Cossacks.

During the process of Tsarist Russia's dialogue and expansion, the Cossack cavalry has always served as the sharpest sword for the Russians to expand abroad. In modern times, especially in Siberia and Central Asia, their cavalry horse hooves were flying in parallel with the pace of Tsarist Russia's outward expansion, and have made great military achievements for Russia to expand its territory many times.

Since the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Russia has formed 11 Cossack legions of about 300,000 people. However, due to the investment of modern weapons, machine guns, platoons, tanks, etc., cavalry is destined to be eliminated. That is, from this era, the Cossacks have never achieved as impressive results as in previous wars. However, out of contempt for the powerful forces in the Far East, Tsar Nicholas II's impression of China is still what he saw when he came to China. Therefore, he thought that he could easily defeat the Chinese resistance by just sending a Cossack legion.

Unfortunately, the confrontation with Austro-Hungary and Germany on the eastern front contained too much energy from Tsarist Russia. So much so that Russia could not draw a Cossack army from the front line. In the end, Nicholas II could only helplessly draw a Cossack cavalry division from the Northwest Front, and summoned two cavalry regiments from the Don River to merge them, forming a large organization with more than 16,000 cavalry. He excitedly declared to his queen that this would be the ace he used to completely destroy the Chinese people's determination to resist.

The heat exhaled by the horses reflected the heat exhaled by the cavalry. More than 10,000 cavalrymen seemed to be in the whole world, with only snow-white Siberian marching like.

Very bad!

At least now, Major General Rannoyv, the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Division, was full of resentment because of the orders of Lieutenant General Panwitz Pratov, commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force. He and his Cossack Cavalry Division were staying in the snowy Siberia for eight days. Four of them were delayed in the Uginsk. He was full of resentment towards Lieutenant General Pratov, the commander of the Expeditionary Force who had been repeatedly changed after the order was issued by Lieutenant General Pratov.

As the commander of the Expeditionary Force, he commanded the main force of the army and was unable to break through the Chinese defense line. He took Ulya Sutai and Kulun and annexed Outer Mongolia. He also refused to send the main force to Irkutsk and Chita to protect the two Outer Baikal military centers. He was still him, but he did not concentrate the supplies behind him and left enough troops to guard the underground Ukinsk, which resulted in the Chinese cavalry rushing thousands of miles to capture Ukinsk, causing them to fall into a passive state.

Yesterday, Lieutenant General Pratov issued a new order to him, which made him give up the Ukinsk and sneak attack the Chinese's southward encirclement forces. The order from Kizil changed almost every day, and Lanoyv was almost crazy. Tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry traveled back and forth across the land of hundreds of miles in the cold Siberia. Do he really think that the elite Cossack cavalry could ignore the cold weather?

"That damn Slav!"

Major General Lanoyf cursed in his heart. After the outbreak of the European war, Russia lost too many outstanding generals on the Eastern Front, so that in the Russian army, some generals who were originally only responsible for staff and civilian work before the war, and an officer who was a nobleman but was not proficient in command were all promoted. Pratov, the general who looked like a novice and was said to have a gang of evil monk Rasputin. When he asked him to command the expeditionary force, Lanoyf was very suspicious of their victory.

Randomly arranged a cavalry to reconnaissance. Since he hit a wall in the Lower Ukinsk and killed and injured more than a thousand cavalry by the Chinese machine guns, Lanoyf was always unable to get excited. He was transferred from Ukraine to the battlefield of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for more than five months in early 2015, and he was transferred to the Governor of the Central Asian Grassland Area. However, the lethality of machine guns on the Eastern Front battlefield on the cavalry made him start to worry, does their Cossack cavalry have a future? Under his rows of fire snakes, it is difficult for many chargers to break through the death line.

Now even the Chinese whom they looked down upon can withstand the charge of the Cossack cavalry after they were equipped with machine guns. Lanoyve could not worry about the future of the Cossacks, because he was also a Cossack!

Although he thought so, he was a chauvinist who was aggressive to the outside world. The contempt for the Chinese and even the yellow people he had developed over the years would not change. His habitual thinking ability made him look down on the Chinese in his heart. When the reconnaissance cavalry he sent discovered the location of the National Defense Forces, Major General Lanoyff thought for a moment and ordered a cavalry regiment to launch a tentative attack on the National Defense Forces' garrison.

Just after ten o'clock, when the sound of an ambush bomb explosion outside the base came, the National Defense Force immediately understood that the Russians were coming. As expected, when the soldiers of various organizations entered the front line according to their orders, they looked everywhere, and the sound of horse hooves and the "Ula" sounds when the Russians charged. Thousands of Cossack cavalrymen either held their sabers or set up carriage rifles and rushed towards the front of the National Defense Force. Wu Peifu saw this situation in the telescope and was so excited that he even gasped. This was not obvious what the machine gun to send death to feed the National Defense Force!

"All units should pay attention to using rifles and heavy machine guns to eliminate the enemy, and order the reconnaissance aircraft of the land aviation to take off to determine the main position of the Russian army. Without instructions, it is strictly prohibited to fire artillery at the Russian army!"

"Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!" The Cossack cavalry stepped on the snow that was not too thick and cut off many dead branches falling from birch trees. They were getting closer and closer to the position of the National Defense Force. Suddenly, the fire of the Hatchcais heavy machine gun of the National Defense Force appeared, and then the sound of the rifle shooting, the sound of grenade explosion, the sound of mine explosion, and other sounds of the position that was still silent just now suddenly turned into a noisy murder site.

The Cossacks are all desperate people, braved the rain of bullets, hoping to use their speed to break through the defense line. As long as they enter the trenches, they will be the world of sabers. Unfortunately, after the efforts of a group of military experts assisted by Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire and Chinese military experts, the Hatchais machine gun equipped by the National Defense Forces has become a battlefield killer no less than the Maxim machine gun after solving several problems such as stuck. In the uninterrupted bullet storm, dozens of Hatchais machine guns were launched on the front line.

The guns formed a line of defense for fire snakes. Under the dense blockade of flames, the Cossack cavalry were able to rush to the limit of only a hundred meters away from the National Defense Forces position. Most of the cavalry fell down. The reconnaissance planes looked down from the sky and happened to be a masterpiece of the firepower of the Hatchacas machine gun. The Cossack cavalry behind could not break through the Chinese firepower, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they turned their horses and retreated. The Russian army's tentative attack ended in failure.

After listening to the reports of the Cossack cavalry commanders who fled back, Lanoyff was not angry, and the attack was set in his expectations. The purpose of his tentative attack was to test the firepower situation and reactions of China, and to find possible firepower gaps, so that he could avoid the Chinese machine gun positions, and rush into the National Defense Forces to start a massacre!
