The ultimate goal of East China's ** is to promote peace by war, forcing Russia to return to the negotiating table and accept the conditions of East China **. To achieve this goal, it is far from enough to just annihilate the bandits in Jinzhou. Bi Jingbao is only a defensive nature, and to make Russia feel pain, it is necessary to attack. Therefore, while the bandits in Jinzhou's *** war, Qin Zheng was in charge in Shenyang, dispatched troops and launched an attack on Russia again.

The People's Army's attack this time was divided into two lines, with two divisions and one regiment on the eastern front. From Boli, he advanced along the Amur River to attack Miaojie (Nicolayevsk), while the western route attacked from Aihui City, crossed the Heilongjiang River, and attacked Hailanpao (Blagoveshensk), with three divisions.

The attacks of the two people's army did not encounter much difficulty. On the one hand, this is because the Russian army did not have many troops in Miaojie. There were only two battalions in Hailanpao, and there were only one battalion and two companies in Miaojie. This was too far from the attacking forces of the People's Army. On the other hand, it was at the end of March and early April. The weather began to warm up and the ice and snow had melted. The conditions for the march were much better than the last pass-through operation. By attacking Miaojie, you can use the Amur River after the thawing, and no longer need to use sled dogs.

First of all, after the Eastern Army arrived at Miaojie, the defenders all surrendered to the People's Army without a single shot. Because the fall of Boli and Amur City put huge pressure on the defenders of Miaojie, they knew that there were no reinforcements at all. They could never defend the troops in Miaojie now, so it would be better to surrender.

However, Hailanpao's Russian army chose to resist one after another, because Hailanpao is closer to Chita and it seems that it is possible to wait for reinforcements. However, under the offensive of the People's Army, the Russian army's resistance did not last long and was broken through the defense line by the People's Army.

After occupying Hailanpao, the People's Army dispatched another armored train to set off from Vladivostok, and through Boli and all the stations along the railway. At this point, the 1,300-kilometer railway line from Vladivostok to Hailanpao was all under the control of East China **.

This attack by the People's Army once again shocked Russia. Although Miaojie had an ice period of about 4 or 5 months in a year, it was a harbor after all. Although the symbolic significance was greater than the actual significance, after losing Vladivostok, it was Russia's only seaside in the Far East. The loss of Miaojie means that Russia's Far East has completely become an inland area, and the hundreds of years of pioneering and enterprising have been completely abandoned.

Hailanpao is located in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, the intersection with the Jingqili River, about 1,200 kilometers away from Chita. It is also an important node city on the Amur section of the Siberian Railway. The People's Army occupied Hailanpao, which means that more than half of the Amur Line was cut off, and the People's Army can attack Chita from the Amur Line and the Binzhou Line of the Middle East Railway.

After the last negotiation broke down, Witt stayed in Chita and did not return to St. Petersburg immediately. After receiving the news, he couldn't help but sigh because these places should not have been lost. As long as the last negotiation could be reached, the lost places are no longer possible. Moreover, if negotiations are conducted, East China ** will definitely make more demands. In addition, I don't know what kind of demons will be made in St. Petersburg. If I still hesitate, East China might launch a new offensive again, and I'm afraid it will really hit Chita. Therefore, Witt was also worried.

However, Witt was not worried for a long time this time. On the second day after receiving the war report, Witt received a telegram from St. Petersburg, asking him to contact East China ** immediately and restart negotiations.

In fact, after the last negotiations broke down, the Russian government and the opposition knew that the East China National Government would definitely launch an attack on Russia's Far East again. However, no one dared to bear the responsibility of losing power and humiliating the country at that time, and many people were still lucky, believing that the national strength of the East China National Government could not support the launch of military offensives or attacks by bandit troops, which interfered with the East China National Government; or the international situation changed, leaving the East China National Government without the strength to launch an attack on Russia's Far East.

But reality shattered the Russian fantasies. The East China ** was obviously not yet reached its limit and could launch a powerful offensive. The bandit army was not very useful, and the last success was just a lucky result. As for the changes in the international situation, at least it is not visible yet. The threat of reality is right in front of us. Russia cannot just watch the Far East being occupied by the East China ** bit by bit. Therefore, Nicholas II finally decided to put aside his arrogant figure and restart the negotiations with the East China **.

Although Witt was very satisfied with this domestic quick response, it was not that simple to restart the negotiation. Through the last negotiation, Witt also basically understood the attitude of East China **. They did not oppose the negotiation and even supported the negotiation, but they must take some advantage in the negotiation. Of course, this is also the power that the winners should have. Witt does not think there is anything wrong with this idea. In fact, if Russia ** accepted the conditions for East China ** in the last negotiation, the losses would be much less than that now. Then Guan Jian of the negotiation was still the domestic attitude. First, whether he could completely let go of the face of racial superiority or civilization superiority and formally admit the failure; second, there would be no more repeated changes. If these two points were not done, even if the negotiations were restarted, it would have no meaning. Because it was still impossible, and Witt did not want to ask for it.

So after a long test, Witt sent back a long message to St. Petersburg, first of all, it was clear that if the negotiations were restarted, the East China ** would definitely put forward more stringent conditions than the last negotiations. The occupied areas would not be able to come back. Moreover, the East China ** would definitely require Russia to ced a portion of the land on the basis of the current actual control area. In addition, the compensation amount required by the East China ** was 1 billion rubles. If the negotiations were restarted, the amount would definitely increase. Witt estimated that it should be between 1.2-1.5 billion rubles, or even 2 billion rubles. This is almost the conditions that the East China ** would offer after the negotiations were restarted. Will it be acceptable to the country?

And at the end, Werther emphasized that if Russia cannot accept such conditions, even if the negotiations are restarted, the chances of negotiations will be slim. If this negotiation fails again, East China will definitely launch a more fierce offensive again, so we hope that the country will make a clear decision.

After the telegram was sent, just two days later, Vette received a reply from St. Petersburg. Its efficiency was so high that Vette could hardly believe that if Russia had had such efficiency, the war would not have been defeated so badly. The content of the telegram also made Vette feel satisfied. St. Petersburg replied, agreeing to negotiate based on the current actual control area of ​​the two sides. Russia did not insist on returning the lost places. As for the land ceded to East China, Vette made a decision and made the best decision and did its best, and then handed over the final result to St. Petersburg for approval. Russia did not have a clear requirement for the amount of compensation, of course, it should be controlled within 1.5 billion rubles as much as possible.

In short, Russia completely accepted the defeat this time. As long as it was possible to reach the agreement, almost all the conditions could be agreed. This made Vette unable to believe it. After reading the telegram twice, he could completely relieve himself. However, he felt that "if I had known this, why should I have been there?"

It turned out that this attack by the People's Army finally made Nicholas II feel a little scared, because if the situation continues like this, the entire Far East will be occupied by the East China **. After all, the East China ** does not seem to have much effort during these two military attacks, and now Russia obviously cannot protect the place east of Chita.

Although cede land and compensation for compensation and losing power and humiliation of the country are indeed detrimental to the image of Nicholas II who always thought he was a hero, looking at the world, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Britain, France, America, and Russia, have done similar things in the past; but if the entire Far East is lost, Nicholas II will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in Russian history, because this will lead the efforts of the Russian tsars of hundreds of years, and countless Russian heroes will pay the price of their lives, which will become useless. Nicholas II will become the most incompetent tsar in Russian history. Although Nicholas II is a mediocre person, he is not a fool. After putting down his arrogance and face and regaining his rational and pragmatic mind, he can see the situation facing Russia now. At this time, Russia does not have the capital to be tough to the end.

However, no matter how Vitt perceives it, he can also feel that the negotiations are obviously serious and pragmatic, and he also has the obligation to help Russia stop losses and save part of the Far East. Although Russia has lost its initiative in the Far East now, as long as it has not been completely lost, Russia will still have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

So Vette immediately sent a telegram to Qin Zheng of Shenyang in the name of Russia, demanding the restart of negotiations between Russia and East China, and also specifically stated that the restarted negotiations are based on the actual control areas of both sides, and Russia also agreed to pay compensation to East China, and ceding a part of the land to compensate East China, to compensate East China, for losses.
