One sentence hit Ulangeli's pain. His face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, but Hua Ruohan still whispered to remind him in a low voice without any politeness!

"Have you studied the Franco-Prussian War? Have you analyzed the Dihua Victory? The scales of these two battles are different, but the key points are the same, that is, the rear-mounted fast field artillery completely determines the course of the war!"

"Architecture has never been so important. The firepower of the fast field artillery can make all the army a spectator to watch the fun. The artillery itself can end a battle!"

"The Chinese people have become a climate, and their military strength is no longer comparable to your garrisons in Asia!"

"Master Zuo Zongtang is in the Western Regions and has more than 300 88-caliber field artillery equipped with back-mounted 88-caliber field guns, countless ammunition... and these weapons are not imported by the Chinese, but made by themselves..."

"No...you...you're wrong..." Ulangeli was really stubborn when he died. "I also have my information. The barrels of these field guns are imported from Prussia by the Chinese!"

"They can indeed produce other parts, but they are not excellent in the art of gun barrel technology. This high-quality gun barrel uses steel and deep-hole rifling technology, which the Chinese have not mastered!"

"Hey..." Hua Ruohan sighed, "What's the use of these? The Chinese and Germany are currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and the first-hand gun barrels are supplied to the Chinese without limited supply!"

"You can't destroy this kind of friendly cooperation relationship for the time being, so the Chinese arsenal can continue to produce cannons!"

"At the same time, don't forget, when the British and French forces captured Beijing, what was China's technology like? But just over a dozen years have passed, the Chinese have already achieved such industrial strength!"

"I am bluntly speaking, the productivity of the Tanggu Industrial Zone is no less than that of your industrial zones in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and you don't have many technologies!"

"The speed of this progress is terrible! At present, these Chinese people cannot produce qualified gun barrel steel, nor can they perform precision deep-hole rifling processing..."

"But what about three years? What about five years? What about ten years? There will always be a day when they conquer their skills. By then, can you guarantee that Tsarist Russia will definitely surpass the Chinese?"

"Forget it, we won't say that far away! Just talk about it... If Zuo Zongtang got another 100 artillery and a large amount of shell resources, they began to cross the Tianshan Mountains and shoot down to the Yili River Valley from a high point..."

"Oh... I want to thank the Qing army leader of Tacheng, General Rong Quan! He tried his best to defend the necessary passes on the Tianshan Mountains, and used his terrain advantages to defend your Cossack cavalry from a high position!"

"So, there is no danger in Zuo Zongtang climbing over the Tianshan Mountains. The only thing to beware of is the weather!"

"When four or five hundred cannons are pointed at your army, the Tsarist Russian cavalry... can you imagine that picture?"

Hua Ruohan said that Ulangeli's face became paler. He knew very well that the Tsarist Russian defenders in Lake Balkhash and the Ili River Valley were actually a group of cavalry with guns. The total number of artillery did not exceed one hundred, and they were all old-fashioned front-mounted artillery!

Apart from sneak attacks or raids, such a cavalry tide cannot open the artillery position head-on! This is also the most important reason why the Tsar was anxious to negotiate peace with the Chinese!

Tsarist Russia is a very interesting country. Its industrial strength is not strong and its population is sparse. After all, it is mostly in the cold zone. Although the people are strong and brave, the economy is really bad!

People have low education levels and poor industrialization foundations. Even the most basic agricultural scale is not as good as other ethnic groups! The reason why this country can expand its territory thousands of miles and eventually cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean is actually two reasons!

One is that they are snatching wasteland in the cold zone. To be honest, there are really not many competitors!

The other is that they started early. In an era when military technology was not yet high, the fanatical, barbaric and warlike national attributes helped them expand their very large territory!

Such an empire is actually very unreliable. When encountering a challenge from a strong country that has risen from temperate zones, as long as the other party makes every effort to fight you, Tsarist Russia will definitely suffer a loss!

For example, the Russo-Japanese War in Xiao Letian's previous life, and the old empires were fighting against the emerging Japan. In fact, the Tsarist Russian soldiers fought very beautifully during the war, and the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties!

But after the Japanese made up their minds to fight to the end, Tsarist Russia immediately fell into a situation of insufficient momentum after the initial violent period!

The economy cannot keep up, the logistics cannot keep up, and technology is not the highest. In the end, I can only give in and give in!

But this country is too proud and too poor, so no matter what he loses, he can cede land anyway, his empire is very big and the land is not worth much!

But you can’t pay compensation! You won’t pay compensation if you live or die, which makes the Japanese so depressed!

During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan consumed almost all the compensation robbed from China and was not enough. After finally winning, I thought to get some oil and water from you, Tsarist Russia, and subsidize the war military expenses!

Unexpectedly, the Tsar said, "I don't want money, but I have to die. At worst, I can continue to fight!"

This sentence almost suffocated the Japanese. Can they still fight? Japan was at the end of its strength, and in the end it could only sign a treaty without any compensation!

The two countries have jointly divided the interests of Northeast China!

Xiao Letian is very clear about the details of this group of polar bears. Why did he have to bite 60 million to death to compensate? In fact, he just knows that Tsarist Russia will definitely not give it. If you bite this other one to death, it will be easy to discuss!

The end result is that Tsarist Russia does not pay any compensation, but it compensates a lot of land!

Just want land, Xiao Letian’s final plan is land!

The outer Xing'an Mountains, Lake Baikal, Lake Balkashi... are all regained in this negotiation!

Moreover, the head of state has decided that the first treaty will be signed and Zaichun will be ordered to modify the map and restore the ancient name of the Beihai Lake Baikal!

The ancient name of Yibohai was restored in Lake Balkhash, and it was necessary to restore the Sailye City to the south of Yibohai!

Currently, 50,000 prisoners from Tsarist Russia have been detaining in the territory of the Chinese people. They are not giving them food for nothing but asking them to work!

During the long labor service, some Tsarist Russian soldiers could not bear the pain of repeated work and eventually abandoned the Tsar and became a subordinate branch of the Sword Drawing Team!

Tsarist Russian mercenaries!

Although the size of Tsarist Russian mercenaries is not large, it has had a great psychological impact on other prisoners!

The different treatment moved them. In the long run, Tsarist Russia would slowly lose control over these prisoners, and there were also those aristocratic officers, which were even the treasures that the Tsar could not lose!

After the defeat of the Far East War, Tsarist Russia no longer had the strength to fight the Chinese! But they still put their hope on the French and Aguber!

They hope to use diplomacy to put pressure on the Chinese people and eventually get benefits at the negotiating table!

Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

France was defeated, Aguber was also defeated, and the more than 30,000 Cossacks in the Ili River Valley became the last bargaining chip for Tsarist Russia!
