Chapter 1094, Tsarist Russia's reaction

"The Japanese and British join forces are just like this. Sooner or later, the head of state will deal with these Eastern and Western devils!"

"That's right, look at the British foreign devils, who were defeated by our ally Germany in Europe, and only took a temporary advantage in Asia. We still have the tone to send troops to recover the ancients. Are we still afraid that we can't beat the British devils?"

"We are a huge Chinese lion of one million. The head of state just sympathizes with the people and does not mobilize heavy troops. Otherwise, Beijing, Zhili, and Rehe will have troops, and they can defeat the British and Japanese at will."

"That great marshal who is so dark and has become our prisoner? Haha!!"

"If we say that China is really strong, the Japanese people still negotiated with foreigners through foreign peace and harmony, and then gradually recovered the land and unequal terms occupied by foreigners. But China relied on its strength to start a war against foreigners, and fought back national sovereignty with one blow, which is the real power."

"This is very true, this is very true. With the talent of the Head of State Shenwu, the revival of our Chinese is just around the corner."

Whether it is newspapers and magazines or the common words on the streets and alleys, China is shrouded in an atmosphere of restoring confidence and dignity from beginning to end. People are not only pleased that the country is moving forward step by step, but also lucky that the country has a strong and wise leader.

Wu Shaoting's reputation and status in China are rising with the progress of the war. In the eyes of many people who are deeply influenced by democracy, Wu Shaoting is the spokesperson and guardian of the Chinese nation. Only Wu Shaoting can maintain the status and reputation of the Chinese nation. Because of this, the fanatical nationalist atmosphere in China has gradually begun to change, and many people turn to combine "nationalism" and "Wu Shaoting's theory" into one, and their respect for the head of state is increasing day by day.

As the temperature of the head of state worship rose rapidly, sociologists who were previously sent to China by the German Empire, political scientists immediately saw the opportunity. Since China and Germany signed the "Holvig Plan" at the end of last year, Germany has been paying attention to the composition and development progress of China's social system. They will not give China a vain. Since the price of exchange is to let Germany transform China's social structure, it is natural to do what it says.

These German experts arrived in China three months ago, but in the past three months, they did not make any moves and were just observing China silently. On the surface, it seemed that they did nothing, but in secret, these experts drafted many plans and plans after many meetings. All they did was waiting for an opportunity, an entry point, and a suitable environmental condition.

A new round of fanatical worship of Wu Shaoting in Chinese society is the opportunity they need.

So, these German experts immediately began to take action and fuel the fire in the back as planned. They needed this fanatical personality cult to continue, and not just as the previous few personality cults, but only to rise and fall with the changes of external events. What they had to do was to keep this "personal worship of the head of state" forever.

This is the first step. As for the second step, it is to transform "personal worship of the head of state" into "personal allegiance to the head of state". At the same time, through long-term cultural propaganda, public opinion building momentum and great sales, this emotion must be gradually shaped into a social ideology. In other words, the emotions among the people must be coordinated and concrete.

The actions of the German experts seemed simple, and they were nothing more than using domestic Chinese newspapers, international newspapers and various communications within the Allies' camps to promote Wu Shaoting's influence on China. At the same time, they also specially set up clubs, non-political parties and social groups to promote and influence the admiration of Wu Shaoting, mainly targeting the upper class of Chinese society and have a more intuitive influence. Not only that, they will also use some political privileges to make some Chinese officials compile many internal materials, educational materials, etc., to praise Wu Shaoting.

Of course, they will not simply work hard for Wu Shaoting’s personal reputation and status. In all the actions to promote Wu Shaoting, Germans will be accompanied by information such as “China-Germany Friendship”, “Emperor William and Head of State Wu Shaoting are both great men of the world”, and “Germany is China’s best ally and partner”.

However, these Sino-German friendly information are only the first step. Only when the time is ripe will they change these remarks to another level, that is, emphasize Germany's favor to China.

After these German experts arrived in China, the Nanjing Presidential Office immediately set up a special surveillance team to investigate the words and deeds of these German experts. However, when the surveillance team found that these German experts were just cheering for the prestige and status of the head of state, they felt very strange that the Germans were so good?

Since the German experts did not take any actions that endanger China, the surveillance team naturally would not take any action, but they still dare not take it lightly and remain vigilant at all times.

As the war situation in the three eastern provinces gradually became even, the Chinese and German navies continued to intercept ships of the British and Japanese coalition forces on the Yellow Sea, which affected the French Legion's initial strategic arrangement to a certain extent. However, these situations had already been predicted before the war began, so it was reasonable to develop to the current situation.

However, if progress is not possible on the battlefield, the significance of the French Legion's combat will be in vain. After all, the South Asian War is now going very severe. After China sent the First Continental Bridge Corps to attack Siam, the situation in the entire South Asian continent suddenly became tense. Not only that, the war between the ** and India border has gradually heated up, and under the long-distance artillery fire of Chinese heavy artillery troops, the northern part of Sikkim is almost in peace.

In addition, China announced the Northern Expedition to recover foreign countries at this time, and its momentum had completely surpassed the British and Japanese coalition forces.

In mid-May, Marshal France formulated another surprise attack plan. This surprise attack was not only a joint force between Britain and Japan, but even persuaded the Tsarist Russian emperor to send a joint expeditionary force of sea and land to assist the French army in launching an attack from Vladivostok.

As early as a year ago, Tsarist Russia was already in a state of uneasiness. In order to participate in the world war, countless serfs were hungry, countless middle and lower petty bourgeoisie were bankrupt, and workers had to squeeze their wages for no reason but had to bear double or even triple the workload. In most parts of eastern Tsarist Russia, agriculture was severely damaged. This kind of damage was not a natural disaster but a man-made cause. Farmers and slaves worked hard to farm the fields and still had to owe a lot of debts, and did nothing, and formed gangs and became refugees, wandering around begging for food.

Not only that, since the Soviet strike that occurred ten years ago, many Bolsheviks have emerged in important cities and some remote places in China. These people are threatening the rule of the Tsar at all times, but because of their detailed distribution and deep hearts, they cannot be curbed for a while.

After the summer offensive that occurred last year, the domestic economic situation in Tsarist Russia became increasingly depressed, and even many injured soldiers were unable to provide medical assistance. Those with some family background paid for treatment, while those who had no penny could only endure pain or wait for death. However, even so, the princes and ministers at the center of the Tsarist Russian Empire insisted on carrying out the war to the end.

This time, Marshal France sent people to contact the Tsar to seek support from the expeditionary army. At first, the Tsarist Russian government was opposed by all. After all, the current situation of the country was no longer an extra fund to maintain another expeditionary army.

However, just after the Second Northern Army of China's Northern Army swore an oath to the Northern Expedition, the tense atmosphere immediately attacked Tsarist Russia.

After several consecutive days of discussions, Tsar Nicholas II considered China's increasingly arrogant expansion, if it could not be curbed, it would sooner or later affect the interests of the Tsarist Russian Empire. For this reason, he finally decided to temporarily mobilize an army and mobilize four old-fashioned practice ships stationed in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to form a naval force and participate in the Joint Staff of the United Kingdom and Japan.

Although these four old-fashioned practice ships were not satisfactory, and the total strength of the army troops recruited by the Tsar was less than 10,000, and their weapons and equipment were also quite backward old-fashioned equipment. However, for the British and Japanese coalition forces, Tsarist Russia's participation in military operations against China provided momentum in some ways.

Furthermore, the sudden attacks of Tsarist Russian troops from Vladivostok to the Chinese border will definitely cause unexpected strategic results. According to the relevant information collected by the Intelligence Department, all Chinese troops in the three eastern provinces are currently concentrated on the Liaodong Peninsula. It can be imagined that Black Province is at a time of emptiness and defense.

On May 13, Britain, Japan and Russia sent representatives to Sapporo, Japan to meet and determine that the trilateral parties jointly launched an attack from the eastern waters of China. Their strategic purpose was to take advantage of the lack of troops in the rear of China and focus all on the Liaodong Peninsula, and use the sudden attack to quickly invade the three eastern provinces on the side and take the lead directly at the Changchun.

The combat plan was drawn up, and the three parties began to prepare.

Five days later, the British and Japanese Allied Forces launched a round of strong attacks in Kaesong and Chuanchuan, two battlefields, and took advantage of the wet weather in the early morning to invest all the troops with the maximum capacity of the battlefield. Many loose places appeared in the Chinese positions outside Chuanchuan. Fortunately, the subsequent troops were urgently replenished, and finally stymied the attack of the Japanese army.

Unfortunately, Kaicheng's defense was not satisfactory. Due to several heavy rains in a row a few days ago, the civil fortifications outside the suburbs were eroded by rain. Under the high-level bombing of British artillery, many positions tunnels immediately collapsed.
