But this strategy to the ocean was really unsuccessful. Xiao Letian emerged. After the Qing Dynasty, he struggled with France and finally came to Tsarist Russia!

Ulangeli is so wronged. Didn’t we just massacred some miners in the Daqingdao gold mine? Didn’t we just kill some indigenous people? Are you as for it? Just the Navy and Army are all pressing us to fight the national war?

The loss of Vladivostok was definitely a fatal blow to Tsarist Russia's maritime strategy. At the beginning, the Tsar hoped to turn the tables, so he had to fight a second war with the Chinese in the country to prepare for war!

But I never thought that Xiao Letian would join forces with Prussia to win the victory of the French! When Paris fell completely, the whole of Tsarist Russia was shocked!

This group of people can only abandon their arrogant thoughts and reexamine Xiao Letian, a god-like opponent!

As a result, the top leaders of the Tsarist Russian Empire were confused by this study. No one expected that in the past few years, the Chinese people had already begun to make leaps in terms of military, economic, cultural, scientific and industrial levels!

Except for the population and land area that are not as good as the Tsarist Russian Empire, they have completely crushed these other elements of powerful power!

Just now, Hua Ruohan chatted with Ulangeli, and the Tsarist Russian ambassador also said that the Chinese people do not have excellent steel pipe forging technology and deep hole rifle cutting technology!

But you said that the Chinese people do not have it, but do you have Tsarist Russia? There is no, either, and it is even worse than the Chinese people’s technical level!

The war really cannot continue. The Chinese people are no longer able to fight against Tsarist Russia! If you can't fight, you can only adjust the empire's strategy!

At this time, they can only turn their attention to Central Asia!

Why do we need to garrison a large number of troops in the Ili River Valley? Why should the railway be built to Central Asia first?

Because Tsarist Russia's eyes are not only staring at Xinjiang in the Western Regions, but also in the distant southern Afghanistan region!

They can only look for harbors in the Indian Ocean, but developing here requires establishing a solid base in Central Asia!

This base camp must have its own farming and commercial development, and can provide supplies to the army, at least the food and grass must be self-sufficient!

With this advance base, the Tsarist Russian army can infiltrate into Afghanistan and enter the Pamir Plateau!

Where was his destination in the end? Of course it was not Pakistan. There was no such country at that time. Their destination was Balochistan!

Yes, it is the area where the Gwadar Port, which Xiao Letian is very familiar to the Chinese in his previous life!

At this time, there was still a country in the Balochistan region that was "protected" by Britain, that is, the State of Balochistan! The world still recognizes the independence of this country!

This is the goal of Tsarist Russia, fighting with the British for control of Balochistan!

Gwadar Port is the last hope of the Tsar!

This strategy is very huge and cannot be achieved in a short while. If you want to attack the Afghan Plateau, you must first build a forward base in Central Asia.

And after all the choices, only the Yili River Valley is the most suitable!

The snow water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains nourishes large areas of pastures and farmland, and there is a place to replenish food and horse-warming forage!

Moreover, the Chinese have been operating here for a long time, and the trade routes have become very developed. As long as the Qing Dynasty cedes here, the Tsarist Russian caravan can trade with the Qing Dynasty caravan!

Purchasing supplies from the Qing Dynasty first is much more convenient than transporting them from Moscow!
