"Ukraine, the Chinese army breaks through the obstacles and inserts fingers into Ukraine!" the officer replied gasping.

After the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Alexek staggered, took a few steps back before he could barely stabilize.

"How is this possible?" Kastov looked unbelievable, "How could they fuck Ukraine?"

Ukraine is the granary of Eastern Europe and is extremely important to the empire. However, from the Volga River line to the Dnieper River, the distance between six or seven hundred miles, how could the Alliance army be so fast?

Alexek couldn't believe it, "The empire is in Taritzin, where are the Poltava's army? They were all defeated by the Chinese army? Are these fortresses lost?"

With the help of the officer, he regained some strength. "Your Majesty, the Chinese army did not attack Tarizin and Poltava. They seemed to be crazy. They broke through the obstacles and continued to rush forward."

"Aren't they afraid of being cut off from supplies, so they went deeper alone?" Kastov couldn't understand.

But Alexek understood, "What else do they need to supply when they rushed to Ukraine? It was the empire's granary, and they could collect rations on the spot."

After hearing what the Tsar said, everyone understood why the Chinese army rushed forward regardless of their concern. They definitely did not bring much food and grass. They had to rush to Ukraine in one go so that the army could raise food on the spot.

"What is the purpose of the Chinese army?" Kastov couldn't help asking.

Alexek and Gao Huan had been pen pals for several months. From the letter exchange, he could see that Gao Huan was very cunning. He walked back to the table and sat down, pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened, "It's for food, to be precise, to cut off our food supply, and force me to fight him!"

Kastov and others immediately reacted that the Eastern European coalition forces rushed to aid, and the logistics of Poland and Sweden were entirely carried on by the empire.

The empire's food supply mainly comes from two directions, one is transported from the granary Ukraine, and the other is transported from the reserve warehouse in Moscow.

In this way, the combat intentions of the two partial divisions of the Chinese Alliance can be explained. They attacked Kazan to cut off the grain route from Moscow to Saratov, and inserting into Ukraine to control the empire's granary.

"Damn the Alliance Emperor, he is so treacherous!" Alexek realized Gao Huan's intention and couldn't help but say with hatred.

"Your Majesty, although part of the Chinese army broke into Ukraine, it affected us to obtain food from Ukraine, as long as there is no problem with Kazan, the food transported from the imperial reserve warehouse should be able to support us until the army of Austria and Prussia arrives, and even to keep us until winter."

Alexek heard the words and calmed down a little, "Yes, as long as Kazan is not captured, we will at least have a food road."

As he was talking, the door was suddenly knocked open again, and an officer who had just broken out of Kazan was taken to Alexek.

"Your Majesty, General Jovic has an emergency army to report it!" The visitor entered the hall and immediately reported it urgently.

Alexek felt a stern and panic, "Where is Kazan captured by the Chinese army?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, not understanding why His Majesty the Tsar was defending Kazan, so there was no information. He shook his head, "No, Kazan is still in the hands of our army."

Hearing that Kazan was still in the hands of the Russian army, Alexeik breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down and asked, "What's the matter."

"Your Majesty, we are surrounded by the Chinese army." The officer said anxiously.

Alexek frowned, 50,000 enemy troops were pressing against Kazan, and the defenders retreated to the city. Isn’t this a normal thing?

The officer general did not understand what he meant, so he could only explain dejectedly: "Your Majesty, after receiving his Majesty's reminder, General Jovic dug several trenches along Kazan City to ensure that the enemy could not attack Kazan through these trenches."

Alexek nodded, "This is very good!"

The officer said with a sad face: "Although the enemy cannot enter, we cannot go out now."

"What do you mean?" Alexek asked with a black face.

"Your Majesty, when the enemy troops came to the city, they saw the fortifications we built. They probably thought they could not attack, so they did not attack and dug three more trenches outside the trenches we dug. Now, General Jovic was trapped by the trenches we dug and did not go out at all. They could only watch the enemy set up a fort on the shore and bombard the transport ships on the river." The officer explained: "Now the Volga River has been blocked by the enemy!"

"What?" Alexek stood up, shocked.

I just heard the Ukrainian crisis and thought that there was a Volga River to transport food, but now the Russian army in Kazan locked up itself and asked the Chinese army to cut off the food route.

"Jovic is really my good general! He actually surrounded himself!" Alexek was almost madly angry.

I just thought that Ukraine was rushed into by the Chinese army and that the Volga River could transport supplies, but now both supply routes are broken.

Now the army of 170,000 to 80,000 has no supply of supplies, and they will collapse until winter.

For a moment, everyone was panicked.

"Your Majesty, Ukraine was killed by the enemy, Kazan was surrounded again, the waterway was blocked by the enemy, and our food supply was about to be cut off." Kastov said panic.

Alexek's face was gloomy, "The Emperor of the Alliance, is forcing us to fight to the decisive battle!"

Alexek originally wanted to wait for European reinforcements to come, but now the food supply has been cut off, and he seems to have no choice.

At this time, Alexek was silent for a while, "Go and invite Polish Marshal Bessosky and Swedish Marshal Carl XI to come here!"

In this situation, Alexek must discuss with the commanders of the two countries.

Soon, the two of them came to the hall and after listening to Alexeik's narration, they both looked very wonderful.

When they arrived a few days ago, they were all full of confidence and thought that this battle was very easy and was almost certain to win.

But after everyone had a sleep, the situation changed so much.

Both armies came from afar and did not carry food, and they really did not expect to get such a surprise.

"His Majesty the Tsar, you should decide on this matter!" Carl XI was silent for a long time and could only accept reality.

Bessosky also said: "It seems that there must be a battle."

Alexek said: "I have two plans now. The first one is to continue to defend Saratov, and then go to rescue Kazan and open up the food route."

Bessosky frowned slightly, "Where is the other?"

Alexek clenched his fists, "Another solution is to let the enemy cross the river and then fight the enemy here. As long as we defeat the main force of the enemy, our food problem can be solved!"

When Bessosky and Karl Eleven heard the words, their expressions became serious. Bessosky said: "Let the final battle!"
Chapter completed!
