The Russian capital St. Petersburg, this city, which was built in 1703, has been the heart of Russia since it became Russia's capital in 1712. / St. Petersburg is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Neva River. It is the second largest city in Russia, an important industrial center and transportation hub. The city originated in 1703. Peter the Great established the Peter Paul Fortress on Rabbit Island at the mouth of the Neva River, and later expanded it into a city called St. Petersburg. In 1712, the Russian capital moved here from Moscow.

Originally, this piece of land belonged to Sweden. However, in order to seize the estuary of the northern Baltic Sea, Russian Emperor Peter I formed an alliance with Denmark and Saxony to launch a war with Sweden in 1700. At that time, Sweden was a major military power (Poland later declared war on Sweden). In 1700, the Russian army failed in the Battle of Narva. After this battle, the Swedish king turned his attention to other enemies. At the same time, Peter rebuked the Russian team. Sweden and Russia fought again, and in 1707 the Swedish army completely failed in Poltava.

Afterwards, Sweden had to ced the territory of the Gulf of Finland to Russia. Russia established St. Petersburg here and later moved the capital here. From 1712 to the present, it has been 142 years since it became Russia's capital.

Although the Chinese Empire has always been an opponent of Russia. Since the Chinese Empire unifies China, Russia has sent troops into China and prevented China from unifying China, it has not changed until now. Of course, this years of hostility has also cost Russia a great price. Russia has lost nearly ten million square kilometers of land for this, and there are still millions of troops.

However, Russian Tsar Alexander II was not a person who gave in. His father Nicholas I died because of the Chinese Empire, which was equivalent to the revenge of killing his father. Over the years, Russia has been trying its best to restore its strength.

After the end of the war with the Chinese Empire, Alexander II forcibly implemented the serfdom reform, stipulating that landlords were no longer allowed to raise serfs without any more privately. The serfs won freedom and could redeem the land. Although the price of those lands was high, the serfs might not be able to buy these lands for the rest of their lives. However, Alexander II's reforms still won the support of serfs, who accounted for the majority of the Russian population.

During the reform, some nobles and landlords opposed Alexander II's reform and even conspired to overthrow Alexander II's rule. However, their rebellion soon became more than suppressed. Alexander II showed iron fist and decisiveness this time, and bloody suppressed the rebellion of these nobles and landlords. According to incomplete statistics, more than one thousand nobles and landlords were killed in the rebellion. As well as their families, at least 20,000 people died in the rebellion. Alexander II also took this opportunity to shock other nobles and landlords in the country and consolidate their rule.

In addition, in terms of diplomacy, Russia actively approached Britain. Originally, during the reign of Nicholas I, Russia wanted to compete with Britain for the world hegemony. Britain also adopted various methods to encircle Russia. Now, Russia's strength has been severely damaged, so if they want to restore their strength, they have to rely on the British. Alexander II also knew that if Russia wants to successfully avenge the Chinese Empire, it is almost impossible for it to rely on its own strength alone, and it can only rely on other countries. And Britain is undoubtedly the most reliable ally.

After Russia joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance, support from Britain and France led to rapid recovery of Russia's strength. Of course, although Russia's economy is still fragile, the people's lives are still difficult. However, Russia's military strength has improved a lot. A standing army of 1.5 million people has been equipped with a rifle that was copied from Britain, France or Russia. In the infantry company, it is also equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the division-level troops have been equipped with division-level troops.

After having their own artillery troops, of course, there were only a dozen cannons. However, this was much better than before. Many Russian generals even believed that if the Russian army had such equipment when fighting against the Chinese Empire, the situation of the war was very likely to be rewritten. They stubbornly believed that the reason why Russia failed in the last war was mainly because its weapons and equipment were seriously lagging behind the Chinese Empire. Without this factor, Russia would not have failed.

This also made the Russian army very strongly opposed to the Chinese Empire. The generals of the Russian army tried their best to promote the process of war, hoping to start a war against the Chinese Empire as soon as possible and avenge their previous shame.

To this end, Russia deployed one million of the 1.5 million standing army on the Western Siberian plains and the grasslands in northwestern Central Asia. In order to be able to deal with the Chinese Empire's army a heavy blow from the beginning of the war and lay a victory.

As the world situation became more and more tense, the Russians seemed to smell the smoke of gunpowder. Tsar Alexander II summoned military generals many times and asked the army to prepare for war. In addition, the government should be ready at any time. Once the war begins, it must cooperate with the army to complete the mobilization. Tsar Alexander II knew the power of the Chinese Empire. If he wanted to defeat the Chinese Empire, Russia might have to mobilize more troops.

Russia still has a population of 60 million. Although this is incomparable to the Chinese Empire, it is already the largest country in the Western world. Once a war breaks out, Russia can completely increase the size of its army to three million people, or even more. Of course, Russia has enough population but not enough weapons. If it is really necessary to mobilize three million troops, a large part of the weapons of the newly formed troops will rely on the support of allies. With Russia's weak industrial strength, it is not so easy to arm the troops.

Under the leadership of the Russian government, the Russian movement has also risen. Almost every day, the Chinese people protested outside the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Russia. They shouted the slogan "Get out of Russia" and insulted the staff in the test tube, which seriously endangered the normal operation of the embassy. If it were not for the constraints of the Russian police, these rioters might have hit the embassy.

Of course, the Russians didn't want to see such a thing happen. So, a team of police officers were specially organized to protect the safety of the Chinese Embassy in Russia. Of course, although the Russians' enthusiasm for the high end of the country was getting worse and less than enough of these police officers.

Vladimir, a middle-aged man in his forties, was originally a farmer on the Western Siberian plains. However, after the Chinese army defeated Russia, his farm became the territory of the Chinese Empire. He had to take his family to flee westward. During the escape, his two daughters were starved to death due to lack of food. His wife also died soon because of illness and no money for treatment.

Vladimir attributed all this to the Chinese Empire. If it weren't for the Chinese Empire, their family's life would be very happy. But now, he is the only one left in the family.

By chance, Vladimir met a Chinese man on the streets of St. Petersburg. Suddenly, the anger in his heart was ignited. He beat the Chinese man with his strength. Although, the police who arrived later stopped him and threw him into prison.

However, Vladimir discovered that he was treated preferentially in prison. Those prison guards who were like devils did not make things difficult for him, but instead gave him a lot of care because of his feat. When he was released from prison, he was even more welcomed by many Russians, like a triumphant hero.

From then on, Vladimir did not go to work anymore. Instead, he attracted a group of people and began to cause trouble for the Chinese people. He went to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Russia to protest and cause trouble. However, their behavior was not stopped by the Russian government, but was just scolded without pain. Even some Russian officials, generals and civilians would provide them with logistical support. Vrandimir's team continued to expand. He absorbed a large number of refugees to join his team. Now, the total number is 200.

Vladimir was the leader of this group of people. Although this behavior was a bit unfavorable, it made his life very comfortable. Vladimir knew that there were upper-class people supporting him. This made Vrandimir even more unscrupulous.

"Brothers and fellow citizens, the Chinese Empire is the enemy of life and death of Russia. Their threat to us is even greater than the threat to us by the Ottoman Turkish Empire! As brave Russians, we must destroy all Chinese people. Only in this way can we live a better life!" Vrangimir said loudly to his subordinates.

"Kill the Chinese and kill them all!" the Russians shouted wildly.

"I got the news. In the Chinese embassy, ​​they were conspiring to spy on our military secrets. We need to stop their conspiracy and defend the great Russia!" Vladimir said. This news was something he learned unintentionally. Vladimir believed that if the Chinese conspiracy could be stopped, he would become a real hero. At that time, his life would be changed.

Afterwards, Vladimir led his men to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Russia. Because it was still six o'clock in the morning and the police had not yet started work. Therefore, Vladimir and others' actions were not blocked. They came outside the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Russia, and then launched an impact on the embassy.
