Chapter 613

The Ming Empire invented a steel monster that can walk on land. It took less than two months to take down nearly sixty bastions in Tsarist Russia. When Richelieu received the news, he knew something bad was going to happen. I'm afraid Tsarist Russia can't stand it anymore.

If it is an ordinary person, seeing this kind of record like the Arabian Nights, he will definitely doubt it, but Richelieu will not doubt it, because he believes that Rozov will not deceive him with such outrageous things. It is easier to succeed with a little bit of things.

What should I do now?According to the news from Rozov, the Ming army can take the entire Siberian Plain in at most three months. After taking the Siberian Plain and crossing Wushan Mountain, it will be the European continent. , because, the current army of the Ming Empire is already invincible!
The anti-Habsburg alliance that Richelieu said was about to launch a counter-offensive was not a counter-offensive on land, but a counter-offensive at sea. If it is purely fighting the army, no European power is more capable than the Ming Empire, even if it is the anti-Habsburg alliance. The combined armies of all countries are estimated to be on par with the Ming Empire's army.

Although Richelieu had never studied Chinese, he also knew that it was a disease to use his own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths, and it was the right choice to use his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, so he never thought about fighting with the Ming Empire. Fighting the army, and because of this, he set up a poisonous plan to let Tsarist Russia drag the main army of the Ming Empire to Siberia.

However, now this strategy seems to have gone wrong, and it is a fatal problem
His design for Tsarist Russia to hold back the main army of the Ming Empire was not to allow the Ming Empire to come to Europe, let alone to allow the Ming Empire to wipe out Tsarist Russia. It is really possible to destroy Tsarist Russia!

If the Ming Empire was allowed to wipe out Tsarist Russia, it would be a big trouble. Not to mention how much the territory of the Ming Empire had expanded, just the fact that Tsarist Russia was connected to the Holy Roman Empire would be a big trouble.

If the Ming army is allowed to rush to the Holy Roman Empire by land, then the most powerful empire in Europe will soon be reunified, and with the strong support of the Ming Empire, they will restore their former glory in a short time. No need for the Ming Empire to fight, the Holy Roman Empire alone can beat them to nowhere!
He doesn't have to doubt that the Ming Empire will do this, because the emperor of the Ming Empire is famous for being friendly to allies. Countries that have no direct relationship with the Ming Empire, such as Spain and Portugal, are all supported by the Emperor of the Ming Empire. Not to mention.

You must know that Princess Anna, the sister of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III, is the imperial concubine of the Ming Emperor. For this reason, the Ming Empire even did not hesitate to build a long Eurasian railway to connect the Holy Roman Empire. The entire anti-Habsburg alliance is in danger.

In any case, Tsarist Russia must not fall into the hands of the Ming Empire. Richelieu immediately activated his brain, which was smarter than a fox, to think about countermeasures.

If the anti-Habsburg alliance countries are called to discuss and make a decision, it will definitely be too late.

Because it takes at least a month for the representatives of various countries to get together after receiving the notice;

It will take another month to prepare to support Tsarist Russia after the negotiation is complete;

It will take a month for reinforcements from all countries to reach the territory of Tsarist Russia. By then, Tsarist Russia may have been wiped out by the Ming Empire long ago!
This is definitely not possible, and we must act immediately. He first sent envoys to Tsarist Russia to support Rozov, and then ordered people to contact Britain, Denmark, and Sweden, and quickly sent envoys to Tsarist Russia to unite to negotiate with Ming, and urged all countries to gather troops to rush To the Nordic seas.

If the negotiation fails, then we must fight the Ming Empire with all our strength to drive the Ming Empire out of Europe, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

Richelieu's quick response has greatly exceeded Rozov's expectations, but the actions of the Ming Empire have exceeded his expectations even more. After the Ming army rushed to the Wushan Mountains, they did not continue to advance, but stopped there for a while. Not moving, as if waiting for something.

Rozov judged that they were probably waiting for reinforcements, so although the envoys from various countries for peace talks had not yet arrived, he still sent Kopelov to warn the Ming army.

Last time Kopelov could be said to have suffered a lot. He wanted to run over to fool people, but he was sent away after a few words. He didn't say a word of fooling him. Blood.

This time, the situation is different. The anti-Habsburg alliance powers have already expressed their attitude to fully support Tsarist Russia. He is no longer going to beg others, but to warn them, or to intimidate them. Great opportunity for Deputy Marshal.

He has already decided that this time he must earn back all the face he gained last time, and use all his strength to intimidate that deputy marshal to death.

When Cao Wenzhao heard that the envoys of Tsarist Russia's peace talks had come again, he still invited the principal and deputy envoys of Tsarist Russia to his tent to rest without saying a word. His attitude was quite positive, but he didn't know if the negotiations were active or not.

Kopelov can be said to be quite conceited this time, conceited and even a little arrogant. As soon as he sat down, he asked unceremoniously: "Your Excellency, Deputy Marshal, last time you said that you would immediately dispatch Someone informed me that it's been almost a month, haven't you received instructions from your superiors yet?"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this tone, he frowned and thought, what if this guy is sick, have I received instructions to ignore him, but on the surface he still said in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "I really haven't received it yet." Instructions from superiors."

Well, this is plain nonsense. If he wants to ask Lu Xiangsheng for instructions, he will send a telegram directly, and there will be a reply soon. How could he not receive instructions for a month.

The reason why he said this was just to carry out the emperor's will, not to talk about anything with Tsarist Russia, just perfunctory.

Kopelov didn't want to do this this time. He said coldly: "Whether you have received instructions from your superiors or not, I am now officially warning you on behalf of Tsarist Russia to withdraw immediately, or you will bear the consequences."

Cao Wenzhao was a fierce general, so he didn't take such a small threat seriously. He still said neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm sorry, I have no right to make decisions about this."

Kopelov is so angry, this guy is simply not good at anything, he directly threatened: "Tell you, the anti-Habsburg alliance is very dissatisfied with your Ming Empire's invasion of our Tsarist Russia, and has decided to unite Troops have been sent to deal with you, if you don’t retreat, prepare to face the wrath of the entire anti-Habsburg alliance.”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he didn't show any expression of fear. So what if the entire anti-Habsburg coalition is all on board, at most there are only a million troops. If he can't stand it, he won't retreat to the bastion behind Well, they don't have armored combat vehicles, even if a million troops are all on top, they can take down a few bastions.

Besides, the East Army led by Grand Marshal Lu Xiangsheng is also approaching. The two armies combined are 60 troops, plus armored chariots.

He still looked neither humble nor overbearing, and said indifferently: "I have already said that I have no right to make the decision to retreat. I will not retreat until I receive instructions from my superiors. If you refuse to accept, you will come to fight."
