Chapter 775: Defeat and Confession


On the last day of 1869, the whole Presidential Palace was once again celebrated as usual.This year, a new daughter-in-law was added, and a chair was added to the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve.Qiao Zhiqing wants the whole world to do things according to its own rules, so the solar calendar and the lunar calendar are also the same day, and the Gregorian calendar is not calculated according to the West.So Chinese New Year's Eve is also the last day of the Gregorian calendar.Qiao Zhiqing was almost busy with his bones in the past few years, and he was reviewing official documents from all over the country day and night.Poland's ambassador, Boruc, personally escorted the arms back to Poland.This old guy was also very excited this time, and he couldn't immediately persuade the president to agree to Qiao Zhiqing.He went back in person, and Qiao Zhiqing's heart was also relaxed.Having taken Australia and India this year, we have basically achieved the expected goal, and next year we will work hard to defeat the behemoth of Russia.Although there has been a drought in China, the current standard of living is not high, and the cost of disaster management is naturally not high.Coupled with the grain plundered from India at low prices, it was easy to get through this difficult time.After the beginning of winter this year, there was a heavy snowfall.Ruixue is a good year, Qiao Zhiqing believes that next year will be better."

Zhiqing, my sisters and I will toast you alone" The sound of fireworks inside and outside the presidential palace rang out, and the sky was full of brilliant fireworks.Su Sanniang took the lead in getting up and stood up at the same time as the eight sisters around her.Now the number of Qiao Zhiqing's wives has reached nine, almost increasing at a rate of one a year.However, these wives are considered to be husband and wife in distress, free love, and they are not intrigued like the concubines in the emperor's harem in the past, and everyone is still very harmonious when they get together."

Uncle Qiao, we also have to respect you" At this time, Min Ziying pulled Li Yueru and Tian Runye to join in the fun, these three little girls are now slim, standing here and immediately making people feel a burst of youth."

You guys want to get me drunk tonight" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and raised his wine glass happily.If you marry a hundred wives, you will definitely die here tonight."

Today I will give up my life to accompany the beauty, I wish you all a happy New Year" Qiao Zhiqing touched a glass with each lady in turn, and drank a whole large bottle of wine.Fortunately, this is not liquor, otherwise I would have to vomit out my stomach today.However, the wine had a lot of stamina, and after drinking it for a while, Qiao Zhiqing staggered and lost consciousness.When New China celebrated the Spring Festival, the Russian tsar was not so relaxed.He had just received the news of the destruction of 100,000 Cossacks in Blackwater City, and hurriedly gathered all the high-ranking officials, his face distorted with anger.St.

Petersburg and China are six hours apart, and now they are just past noon."

You all see, just after Christmas, the Easterners are sending us gifts" Russia is so large that in the middle of winter, the roads are covered with snow and ice.So it took more than two months for the news of the Blackwater fiasco to reach St.

Petersburg.Tsar Nikolayevich threw the military newspaper on the conference table, and the senior generals at the table immediately took it and circulated it.When they saw that all of Zhirkov's 100,000 cavalry had been destroyed, they all shuddered in surprise, and finally understood why the Tsar had called them so late.There were more than 500,000 Cossack cavalry in the whole of Russia, and when the Easterners invaded and occupied Primorsky and Amur Oblasts, they had already suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and now they have killed and wounded more than 100,000, and the general cavalry was wiped out immediately."

Your Majesty the Emperor, how is this possible, how can more than 100,000 Cossack cavalry be annihilated by people at once" "Your Majesty the Emperor, who gave the order to attack, didn't we originally plan to go out next year, the army will only go out next year, now the weather is freezing, they lack food and grass, they must have been exploited by the enemy" "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor.We obviously plan to leave the station next year, who agreed to Zhirkov's private expedition"""The senior officials and generals talked a lot, and they immediately shirked their responsibilities.No one can afford the damage of more than 100,000 cavalry."

Duke Shatov, Zhirkov is your subordinate, you tell everyone, what the hell is going on" The tsar pointed the finger at the Minister of War Shatov, and Zhirkov was indeed Shatov's hand.This time there was such a big thing, and the tsar just wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Shatov."

Your Majesty the Emperor, this Zhirkov has already reported to me before the attack.But because the communication was not timely, I also received this news a few days ago, and I didn't expect him to fail so quickly.He is such a quick temper, although he has caused such a big loss, but he is also in order to recover our lost territory in Russia as soon as possible" Shatov defended, not only pushing the responsibility clean, but also saying that Zhirkov was a hero."

Yes, yes, yes.General Zhirkov took the initiative to attack, although he was defeated, at least he played with the momentum of our Russia" "Yes, if we react more slowly, maybe the Orientals will have to fight the Ural Mountains, and now although both sides are defeated, at least they have been taught a hard lesson, General Zhirkov is meritorious"""The generals of Shatov's faction immediately echoed at any time.Immediately dissolved the slap from the tsar."

Okay, let's not talk about responsibility.You all look for the reason for the failure, and the letter mentions that the Orientals have advanced firearms and can fire bullets continuously, if this is the case, we should immediately consider how much victory we can be sure of when we leave the East next year," the tsar breathed a depressed sigh of relief, and there was nowhere to fire if there was nowhere to go.Every time I slap out, it is always easily dissolved, as if it was hit on cotton."

Your Majesty the Emperor, this time I just let the Orientals pick up a bargain.In winter, the weather is cold, and there is a shortage of food and grass.Zhirkov's defeat was due to his eagerness for victory and his desire for a quick victory, not because of the quality of the weapons of the Orientals.If the weapons of the Orientals are really elite, it is impossible for the entire city to be slaughtered by Zhirkov Next year, as soon as our elite troops attack, as long as the logistics and supply work are done, the Orientals will definitely be defeated" Shatov quickly found the key to the problem, and he was right, if it wasn't for Zhirkov being too careless and in a hurry, he would not have been besieged by the Protector Army and annihilated in Blackwater City.If it had been placed in the field, his cavalry would have been adapted to the Siberian climate and would definitely not have caused such great damage.Shatov still maintained his arrogant mentality, and did not think that the Orientals could invent any powerful weapons.After all, he had dealt with the Orientals more than ten years ago, and the whole was a backward and ignorant race, how could it rise in such a short period of time."

The duke is right, the Orientals just took bullshit and lucked our Russian army to be invincible, and there is no one in Siberia who is our opponent" "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor.The invincible Napoleon was defeated by us, how can we be afraid of an ignorant and backward Eastern country"""The generals followed Shatov fanatically and echoed it, they were all Russian aristocrats, and everyone's face was full of unbeatable arrogance, even if they failed, they would not admit it
