Warships easily cross the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, and through the Suez Canal, a destroyer will not be blocked, nor will it be a main ship. For the navy's competition, one or two destroyers, or even ten or eight, will not play any role. It is a very positive way to determine the merits of naval warfare. There will always be only the main ship with the main gun above 350 mm.︽

Even if the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal are controlled by the UK, they don’t care much about the coming and going of a destroyer. Even German ships can provide simple supplies in ports controlled by Britain and France, which is completely different from the trip of the main ship.

In more than two months, I have passed through most of the earth. The tropical hot sea breeze that Bordo felt may be able to arrive in China in just 18 days or even 17 days. I don’t know what Mongolia is like now. The orders received from the General Staff are very targeted. Not only is Germany’s most lacking part, but it also tests the Northwest’s capabilities to a great extent. Perhaps this is an assessment of the overall strength of the Northwest by the General Staff. What you hear and what you can introduce to the drug dealer tea will always be in a fog. Only such real exchanges and contracts can be seen.

While Bordo was drifting in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, the Mongolian front was still in stalemate. It was already March, when spring was in full bloom, 5 divisions had been stationed near the city of Made and Shop. Even the Sixth Division of the Second Army had reached a war zone of 100 kilometers, with a total of 1,000 square kilometers. More than 130,000 Baotou troops were concentrated here, and the troops of the 6 divisions were divided into different stairs. This land was completely transformed into a solid defense war zone.

With Baotou's strong construction capabilities, the simple road from Kulun to Massage City has been penetrated, with a flat three-way soil. At the drier Mongolia at the turn of spring and summer, there is no need to consider the problem of the road surface being washed away by rain. A construction army of at least 70,000 people and 1,800 various construction machinery are concentrated in an area of ​​about 350 kilometers. A 200 kilometers north of Kulun, a four-lane cement road in both directions has been completed and is waiting for the complete condensation of the cement. At most one month, it can be penetrated into Massage City.

The convenient transportation environment allowed the Northwest Army of the 6 divisions to settle down in the vicinity of the Made and Sales City. After several consumptions, the Russian army is only a little over 150,000, which is only about 30,000 more than the Northwest. In exchange for more than 50,000 casualties, only a few thousand casualties from the Northwest Army. Such a casualty ratio made Samsolov a little scared. The combat effectiveness of the Northwest has refreshed his cognition again and again.

The Northwest's ability to defend was too strong. After the initial encounter, Samsolov had thought of bypassing, but when 10 small airships were transferred to the front line of the Making and Sales City, they were almost within a 500-kilometer range around it. As if they had become a forbidden area, any movement would be quickly discovered by the Northwest Army. Once they entered the depths of the grassland, they might fall into the trap of the Northwest Army without a map or guide. After losing 12,000 people from three independent brigades in succession, Samsolov did not dare to act rashly.

God knows how many murderous intents there are on this calm grassland and how many lives it will devour. The Russian army is in a dilemma. After being wiped out most of the two divisions, severely damaged three or four divisions, and even lost four independent brigades, the Russian Far East Military Region was severely damaged. In the Russo-Japanese War, the Far East Military Region, which had not fully recovered, was in the weakest moment. In the Far East and within Russia, it caused huge disputes. The top leaders of Russia even began to discuss whether it was meaningful to continue to stalemate in the Far East.

Unlike the stubborn Tsar, the top leaders of the Russian political and military are more or less aware of the current situation in Russia. The clouds of war in Europe are slowly shrouded in the darkness of the war. A large number of troops on the European side cannot be mobilized. The combat effectiveness shown by Baotou in the war is at least equivalent to two to three divisions of the Russian army, and it is even a little stronger. After all, the divisions on Baotou are basically powerful divisions of more than 25,000. To a certain extent, 6 divisions and 150,000 people, and at least 350,000 or even 400,000 troops in the Far East can be mobilized to have enough victory. Is this cost-effective for Mongolia in a barren land? Such a place that looks big but has no value, even if it is obtained, it is a huge burden.

Russia still has a certain foundation in Mongolia and cannot attack, but knows some of the situations in Mongolia. Now the matter of establishment has come to an end. In the early stage of the uprising, it was destroyed by the northwest. It is almost impossible to go independently, unless it is directly sent to capture it. Although Britain, Japan and France supported a lot of military expenditure, the loss of 60,000 people is also a huge loss to the Far East, which is enough to make the entire Russia irrelevant.

Now, there are dilemmas. More than 100,000 troops are stationed in barren lands. The daily consumption is astronomical. The war lasts for three months, which consumes a lot of the military expenditures supported by Britain, France and Japan. Russia has paid a considerable price. Looking at the Northwest Army, which has no intention of retreating, and is calmly defending, it seems that it can continue to persevere.

Boldo came to Baotou again, two months after the last time. Even if he saved time, he spent more than 45 days on the road. It was still not a cruise ship. If it were a cruise ship, he would spend at least 15 days on the road. In a hurry last time, Boldo just looked at Baotou in a flash, mainly focusing on the production capacity of heavy industry. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he has the opportunity to pay attention to everything in Baotou.

It seems that compared to the last time I left, Baotou has undergone a little change. Various projects are developing rapidly. The entire Baotou has become a large construction site to a certain extent. Among the construction sites, countless construction units are carrying out, and the northwest seems to be making some preparations.

The Mongolian side has basically settled. At least in Yang Yuanzhao's view, the Russian army cannot make any big waves before sending more reinforcements. The 150,000 army, plus enough logistics, is enough to resist the Russian army. The Russian army's 180 artillery, which gave Cai E a headache, now has an opponent. Yang Yuanzhao and the top leaders of the army, will definitely not be able to let the Northwest Army be so backward and beaten. Because of transportation, it was impossible to send the 203 artillery to the front line of the trading city and be built on a simple road.

At the same time, 12 203mm artillery pieces have been transported up, and the first time it was a heavy blow to the Russian army. The Russian heavy artillery division almost did not expect that there were such heavy artillery in the northwest, with a range of more than 3 kilometers of 180mm artillery. The more powerful 203mm artillery directly gave the heavy artillery a powerful weapon. It covered the continuous base of artillery fire almost severely. After losing most of the artillery fire and personnel, the northwest completely occupied the artillery advantage of the Mongolian front.

Under the absolute advantage, there were especially the interweaving and well-trained soldiers of the special forces, Cai E's First Army and Wang Jinming's Second Army, who proposed to take the initiative to attack several times, strive to eliminate Russia's livelihood as much as possible, and give him a huge lesson.

This proposal was passed by Feng Yuxiang, and the temptation to annihilate 200,000 Russian troops was to some extent, which made Feng Yuxiang excited. In a sense, this was the first large-scale victory against foreign powers since 1840, which was also an extremely inspiring move.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that the previous attack on the Russian army was at most aroused Russia, so that they could know that the Northwest was not easy to bully, but if all these Russian dispatched troops were wiped out, it would really be a big feud with Russia. God knows whether the crazy Tsar would devote the whole country to the northwest to confront the Northwest. The crazy Russia had more than tens of millions of mobilization capabilities and a comprehensive war with China's thousands of kilometers of borders. Even if a total war was launched, even if the Northwest was not afraid, it would be very troublesome. Maybe it would lose the opportunity in two years. Yang Yuanzhao had never planned to directly connect to the future World War I, solid foundation, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to let China get benefits. He should do this. Veto this proposal and let Cai E and Wang Jinming hold their positions. As long as he dragged this group of Russian troops and persisted, it would be a victory.

Yang Yuanzhao's strange combat plan made Cai E and others not very understanding. If this continues, Yang Yuanzhao's overall vision is recognized. Although the 150,000 Russian troops on the opposite side have been severely damaged, they are not without any combat effectiveness. If they really want to fight, the northwest may suffer huge losses, and at least tens of thousands of casualties will be caused. Such losses cannot be afforded by the northwest. Yang Yuanzhao has decided, so they will follow the action.

The stable defense in the northwest made the Russian army even more unable to find a breakthrough. The combat effectiveness was not advantageous, and the defense in the northwest was extremely tough. In addition, the advantage of artillery fire was lost. Russia's last attack may have also been lost. Gradually, there was no other move except for the daily routine attacks. Instead, the northwest side was constantly moving.

The northwest is still continuously strengthening the intensity of the trading city. Various materials and weapons are continuously transported over that road. Next, we will build a large-scale fortress with the trading city as the center, and build 20 turrets with the trading city as the core. This is a dense group of turrets. All the main guns use 203mm cannons. One turret has a 203mm main gun, 8 155mm secondary guns, 12 small cannons, 48

To support Maxim, all of them are fortified with reinforced concrete structures. The 20 fortresses are enough to cover the 20 kilometers of the area around the city of Massage. Once completed, it will become the most powerful fortress in Mongolia. Under such circumstances, the forces of the two divisions permanently stationed are enough to withstand the attack of four or five divisions of the Russian army, so that most of the energy can be devoted to the entire West and relieve the pressure of the northwest facing Russia.
