The Hailanpao incident quickly fermented and heated up, and even the opening ceremony of traffic symbolizing diplomatic relations between the two countries was postponed, and there were even signs of further fierce military conflict.》,

In such a dangerous situation, Yang Hao still led his diplomatic team to the capital of Tsarist Russia, which made many people feel very inappropriate.

As a representative, Gu Weijun went to inquire, and Yang Hao told him very casually: "Don't worry, the war will not be fought for a while. Although there are many idiots in the upper class of Tsarist Russia, they can still judge the form clearly. Until they thoroughly understand our country's military deployment, they will not rashly devote themselves to it."

Gu Weijun and others could only choose to believe these words, but still retained a little different opinion.

Yang Hao was not surprised by this reaction. After all, these young elites have experienced too little. They do not understand that the greater the country, the more they should make up their minds to start a war, the more they should pretend to be peace as much as possible before the battle really begins.

Looking at every war in modern history in this world, this is basically the way.

During World War I, European countries fought for decades of shipbuilding competition, and the fuse was ignited until the balance of armed forces between them was close to collapse and they were almost ready.

During World War II, Germany under Hitler's command was completed in just a few years. On the eve of the attack, it was still using various lies and "peace agreements" to fool the British.

During this period, before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, all kinds of diplomatic tricks were even more typical.

Even in the late World War II, a series of wars launched by NATO, led by the United States, became more mature in routines.

First, we put the target of anti-humanity on the target of being prepared to attack, seize the moral commanding heights, and launch public opinion attacks all over the world. During this period, various political means urged the other party to "admit their mistakes". In fact, we were working overtime to prepare for military strikes.

When all the preparations are completed, immediately launch a devastating blow like thunder and thunder, making people unable to resist!

The history of Plane B was changed beyond recognition. Both the European powers and the United States lost the opportunity to explore new colonies in the Far East. The United States had no possibility of occupying Guam and the Philippines, and could not extend its tentacles to Asia, and was still blocked at the other end of the Pacific Ocean.

Britain, France, Germany and other countries lost the income from Southeast Asian colonies. Without huge China as the dumping place of their industrial products and the source of cheap raw materials, its domestic economic pressure was further increased. In addition, the German forces were artificially cultivated and strengthened, and their enthusiasm for re-dividing the colonies increased exponentially.

What's even more fatal is the military competition initiated by Yang Hao. It started from China and forcibly promoted the construction of expensive dreadnoughts and large battleships several years in advance, forcing the great powers to force all countries to face financial pressure and invest heavily.

Today, in ten years, the construction of warships and other armed forces around the world and related industrial facilities is more than twice that of other time and space!

Germany was supported and unexpectedly approaching the completion of the construction of the Middle East, the Arab-Eurasian Railway. Its connection with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Arab world was closer, and its economic benefits were far greater than before, greatly alleviating the crisis of overproducts caused by the surge in its industrial capacity.

Wait for everything, and raise the crisis of conflict among European powers to a fixed point. It can be said that there is a powder barrel on the verge of explosion! Just one Mars will detonate!

Now, the reason why Yang Hao traveled all the way to Moscow to find fault is to ignite the fuse!

Politicians around the world have a good vision. Most of them can see the crisis. China and Russia are on the periphery of conflict and are ready to take advantage of the situation. It is no secret.

The difference is that Russia is not enough to be a fisherman who can make profits due to its poor overall strength. If they want to get involved smoothly and then escape unsuccessfully, they need to devote all their strength to the point.

However, because of its inexplicable strength, China threatens the interests of European powers in Asia at any time, which makes all countries fear it. If China does not break out for a day, it will always be a thorn in its heart, and it needs to be careful.

Objectively, it is also because of China's powerful existence that wars have not erupted in European countries.

Yang Hao is also targeted and will help them eliminate this concern. Once a serious conflict breaks out between China and Russia, or even a full-scale war, and all two major threats will be eliminated, European powers will be relieved and fight with all their strength!

The key is how to grasp this measure. Without considerable political skills and overall control, it is really hard to do it.

The things involved in this are too complicated. Newly debuted young people do not have that kind of experience, do not have enough vision, and they cannot see it, and they are not surprised that they are worried.

Just letting them figure it out for a while, they probably won’t get a clue. Yang Hao ordered someone to get a bunch of books and told Gu Weijun: “Read more about the history of the Warring States Period and learn about the history of the Song Dynasty. You will gain something.”

The young people were full of confusion, but they did not dare to turn a blind eye to his suggestions. They held the history of the Warring States and Song dynasties written in vernacular, and studied hard to find the answers.

Those who truly understand Chinese history will find that the process of the seven heroes fighting for hegemony in the Warring States Period can be partially applied to the modern world pattern. The intrigue, tricks, sophistry, and civil and military struggles can be regarded as a classic textbook.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, which lost its war horse cultivation base and a key defense area in the north, how could it survive under the complex international structure such as the powerful Liao Kingdom, the long-standing Tubo, the emerging Western Xia, the later rising Jin, the peaceful Dali Kingdom, Vietnam, which did not accept the royal transformation, and the general forces who listened to the tune and did not listen to Xuan in the northwest, and other complicated international situations.

It can be said that during the Song Dynasty, the rise and fall of various countries had a very direct relationship with their national policies.

The Northern Song Dynasty, with cultural orthodox culture, chose to sacrifice the military and cultivate the culture, and used the civilized military to build the peak of cultural prosperity that has been unprecedented for the past, but also laid the root of the ultimate shameful kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom in the north studied Chinese in depth, but it was difficult to balance traditional power and Confucianism, and eventually the opportunity to unify the world was ruined.

The pros and cons of various countries in politics and diplomacy are very worthy of thought by future generations.

At the beginning of the 20th century on the B plane, not long after the establishment of the New Dynasty, the local new and old political forces were not mature enough. They had thousands of years of experience to learn from the internal rule. That was more than enough to be able to learn. But there was only one Li Hongzhang who could learn how to engage in diplomacy.

The problem is that Li Zhongtang's era was a period of hardship in the Qing Dynasty being bullied and controlled by others. Diplomacy in that case was just a choice of the degree of compromise and the price to pay. It was not equal at all. There were not many achievements worth boasting about.

Now that national strength has changed, the pattern is completely different, Chinese diplomats naturally don’t need to continue to pretend to be humble.

However, the so-called mature diplomatic forces led by Britain are still stuck in blackmailing the weak countries with strong military power as the backing, and there is no so-called concept of peace and friendship at all. So, the promotion of China-North Korea led by Yang Hao, China-Luzon relations, etc. have become pioneering new forms of diplomacy.

The single form of military alliances between countries that are popular nowadays is undoubtedly very advanced and particularly alternative.

Further, the emerging diplomatic methods from the post-Cold War era in this world are incredible in this era. Yang Hao hopes that this generation of young diplomats can understand and master that method in advance, thereby laying a good and long-term foundation for the future of the entire country.

The good intentions of it are really hard to describe.

Young diplomats have something to do. They study hard with the attitude of students completing their homework. They look up information from small libraries loaded on the car, and use a huge amount of research papers from this world as reference. They are crazy about absorbing all kinds of unheard of knowledge and nutrition.

However, Yang Hao was really idle, and with a relaxed attitude of traveling around the mountains and rivers, he slowly galloped across Siberia all the way westward, crossing the Ural border, and passing through the vast rivers and mountains of the world's largest land country.

As he expected, Tsarist Russia did not stumbling on the special trains of the envoys due to the conflict in the Far East. It went all the way and treated each other with courtesy in the normal state of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Gu Weijun and others were shocked, but Yang Hao was calm. Because he knew very well that with Storepin, a great man ranked second in Russian history, as prime minister and minister of the interior, he would not allow Tsar Nicholas II to make such low-level mistakes.

In fact, there were fierce quarrels within the Tsarist Russian government on how to deal with the arrival of Yang Hao’s envoy.

Just after the Hailanpao incident, the news that a whole Cossack cavalry regiment was wiped out was spread to Moscow, and everyone, including Tsar Nicholas II, was shocked!

This result is too unexpected. Except for the fact that China's Northern Army Corps was prepared and digging a trap to let them jump in, there are no other possibilities.

But the investigation and newspapers from China that followed claimed that this was a battle completely completed by the Hailanpao militia!

The first reaction of the Russians is that the Chinese are lying!

The militia are just some peasants with guns. Faced with powerful, professional killing machine Cossack cavalry, they were not scared to flee on the spot. They were already extremely brave. How could they even exert their strong combat power under the smearing raid?

Then I heard that it was a bandit armed force of up to 500 people who cooperated with the militia to annihilate the raiding troops, and then took the opportunity to attack and chase many retreating Cossack cavalry.

This may be a reason to barely get the past, but it still cannot be explained why Hailanpao's militia did not sleep in the middle of the night, and opened their pockets to wait for their arrival?! Do the villages on the Chinese border have such powerful and professional military defense forces? This is nonsense!

Further intelligence continued to ferment, saying that the Far East Military Region was misled by wrong information, which led to the failure of the battle.

Nicholas II no longer had the patience and interest to listen to them over and over again, roughly and directly regarded it as the incompetence of the generals of the Far East Military Region, and defeated a good handful of cards!

He had to replace several leaders without investigating them. At the critical moment, Prime Minister Storepin stood up and pleaded for them: "Maybe they have some negligence, but now we are very likely to face a fierce war. Changing generals at the last minute will lead to a disintegration of morale in the army. It is better to let them commit crimes and make meritorious service."

Army Commander Kuropatkin, Army Secretary Sukhomlinov and others helped to talk about the tsar, which at least calmed down the tsar's anger.

After all, both Tsarist Russia, regardless of military and political affairs, all upper class members were from aristocratic or wealthy. They had common interests and complex relationships with each other. It was not a last resort, and no one wanted to cause civil unrest.

Stolepin is a brilliant politician with a high vision. He is very clear that the Tsarist Russian Empire is facing huge threats from within. The last bourgeois revolution almost made the Duma of the country lose control. He killed more than 3,000 people. He disbanded the government and appropriately compromised liberated some serfs, gradually liberated the country's productivity, and balanced the political and economic demands of all classes.

But this is still far from enough. Whether it comes from the influence of the revolutionary movement in Europe or the more radical elimination of aristocratic imperial power from China and the advocacy of equality of the whole people, it has led to changes in the thinking and concepts of the Russian intellectual class. Nowadays, too many people have asked the Tsar to completely withdraw from the position of the master of the country and change the current situation where the aristocrats dominate the upper-class discourse power of the country with their bloodline.

Revolution! It is very likely to be a revolution that turns the earth and loses its head! The revolution that makes the entire ruling class complete and complete is very likely to break out at any time!

Under such dangerous circumstances, the Russian upper class must unite and must protect the overall interests at all costs.

Therefore, no matter how big the mistake the generals of the Far East Military Region made, they would still be able to protect them. As long as they win the war in the following war, many crises and problems faced by the country will be solved.

After finally finishing the papering, Nicholas II remembered the Chinese diplomatic train that was slowly moving, and asked: "Someone told me that this so-called diplomatic mission is composed of young people in their twenties. The mission they undertake is to negotiate the Treaty of Aihui with us. There is reason to believe that the incident that happened in Hailanpao has a direct relationship with this matter! They are deliberately provoking my anger!"

The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nikola, shouted without hesitation: "Then drive them out! We do not accept such contempt and humiliation! If the Chinese want to fight, we will war him!"

This time, Stolepin didn't speak. He just frowned and thought seriously.

The possibility of a war on China has been debated many times before by the upper class of Tsarist Russia. The results of repeated calculations by the General Staff show that the chance of winning and losing is half-way.

On the sea surface, the Chinese Navy has an undisputedly powerful advantage, and the Russian Far East Navy has not even sent even an advanced battleship to pass, which has been killed in the past.

In terms of the army, Tsarist Russia obviously has the advantage. Openly and secretly, from Baikal Military Region to Amur Military Region, there are nearly 500,000 troops ready for battle! These are all powerful forces equipped with cannons and machine guns, and they are not something that the Chinese Frontier Construction Corps can fight against.

Once the war starts, the result is very likely that the Tsarist Russian army will quickly occupy Mongolia and Heilongjiang, but will lose the naval battle and lead to the loss of the sea cucumber power!

As a result, both sides will inevitably fall into a protracted tug-of-war.

At this critical moment when the Balkan powder keg is ignited at any time, Tsarist Russia cannot be restrained there, otherwise it will lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seek an estuary south and even master the Eurasian continental bridge!

There is no doubt that Europe first and Asia is a long-term national policy. For this reason, the "Yellow Russia" plan will be pushed back.

Because he dared not determine China's attitude, Russian talents carefully fabricated the Hailanpao incident. The original plan was to use the Cossack cavalry to plunder and stimulate the frontier army to test China's determination to officially start a war. If the fight did not start and China endured it, then blackmail through diplomatic negotiations, gain a better position, and strive to regain the dominance of the Middle East Railway, and then gain some of the benefits of Heilongjiang.

If China cannot bear it and launches a fierce counterattack, then stop appropriately and then argue endlessly until it has a more appropriate opportunity and then suddenly starts a full-scale attack.

This opportunity will fall on the British.

The Russians are very clear that China's expansion in the South China Sea and its support for Germany have seriously threatened Britain's global hegemony. For this reason, Britain has been planning an attack on China from India and looking for opportunities to launch a war of invasion of southern China from Southeast Asia.

In order to ensure victory, the British quietly contacted Tsarist Russia, so as to seek cooperation between the two sides, and invaded together from Western Xinjiang, Kang and Tibet respectively. At that time, they would share China's interests together.

The Russians also know that Britain's real intention is nothing more than instigating them to break out in a full-scale war with China, and killing two birds with one stone. But it is not nonsense to say that it is a joint deal with China. The relationship between major powers has always been so complex and diverse.

Grand Duke Nicholas's statement attracted a lot of support. Russia has four million troops, which is enough to fight against any major power in the world - at least that's what they think.

After hearing a lot of people's clamor, Nicholas II unexpectedly announced: "No! That makes us look too ill. Moreover, I really want to see with my own eyes what an excellent talent the young messenger who can represent the great head of state is! I want to teach them a lesson with the attention of the whole world!"

The ministers burst into praise, but Stolepin's brows twisted into a knot. He vaguely felt that this was not a good idea.

The messenger who can be trusted by the Great Head of State, no matter how young he is, must be an idiot.

However, His Majesty the willful and reckless Tsar could not listen to other people's dissuasion, and he insisted on his own initiative and thought he was self-righteous.

Soon, they waited for Yang Hao's special train to arrive. At the critical moment, the Tsar once again showed his rudeness and willfulness, refusing to send a minister with sufficient status to greet him, allowing Foreign Minister Ramsdolph to be present as the highest official.

Afterwards, no specific schedule for interview negotiations was arranged, and Yang Hao and his group were ignored in the hotel they were staying!

Yang Hao suppressed the anger of the young diplomats and sneered: "It's just my wish, I'm worried that I can't find an opportunity to take advantage of the problem!"

He spread everyone out and had fun and was not afraid of conflicts with the locals. The bigger the noise, the better! (To be continued...)
