.
"Where are Kutuzov's 200,000 troops now?" Ekaterina asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, we also do not know where the army has gone."
"We must get them back as soon as possible."
"In addition, troops were conscripted, and reservists quickly took up arms as well."
"In addition, mobilize all available militia."
"St. Petersburg cannot be lost."
"Notify all the major cities in the vicinity to mobilize all the soldiers guarding the cities. They must completely and thoroughly annihilate this group of barbarians."
Ekaterina's mouth kept twitching, like a machine gun.
The head of the palace guards quickly took notes, not daring to miss a single word.
"clear……"
"Then let's get started."
Soon, St. Petersburg was in chaos.
You could see squads of soldiers driving quickly past on the street.
besides.
Those who had already retired from the military and those in reserve have also been conscripted into the army.
Seeing many soldiers marching through the streets, many civilians realized what had happened.
Otherwise, things would never have gotten this chaotic.
"Hurry, Your Majesty the Tsar, issue an order that anyone willing to join the army should report to the barracks immediately."
"There is now a rupee reward for joining the army."
"After receiving the order, all veterans quickly proceeded to the barracks."
"All reservists should head to the barracks immediately to collect their equipment."
The streets and alleys were filled with noise.
People from both inside and outside the city gathered together in twos and threes.
They watched the soldiers run past them, each one unsure of what to do.
"A few days ago, 200,000 troops marched out of the city in a grand procession. Why are they conscripting soldiers again now?"
"Have the soldiers on the front lines become this desperate?"
"Impossible. My son is a glorious infantryman. He said this battle is to fight those barbarians."
Those barbarians are utterly no match for us.
"I've heard that the barbarian territory called the Great Xia Dynasty is full of gold and silver, and the houses are made of gold."
“My cousin also joined the cavalry. He told me that when he returned from the Great Xia Dynasty, he would bring each of us ten catties of gold.”
"Is there such a wonderful place in the world? Let's join the army."
“Joining the army now is like looking for a job.” Soon, someone in the crowd objected.
"Didn't you hear me clearly? Even reservists and retired soldiers have been recalled, which means that the fighting on the front lines is not going well."
Upon hearing this, many people in the crowd nodded in agreement.
They couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
However, this reason was quickly challenged.
"I'm afraid that's not the reason. It must be that the people at the front discovered a large amount of gold and silver that they couldn't transport over, so they're conscripting people into the army on a large scale."
This reason was quickly agreed upon by most people.
really.
People are only willing to believe what is beneficial to them, and unwilling to believe what is harmful to them.
"If it were to go to the Great Xia Dynasty, I would be willing to take the risk."
“My family has been serfs for over ten generations. If I could go to the Great Xia Dynasty and rob it, I would definitely bring back several hundred catties of gold.”
"This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."
"If we seize this opportunity, even we serfs can rise up."
Soon, more and more people headed towards the military camp.
These guys naively thought that by joining the army, they could rob the Great Xia Dynasty.
...
Bonaparte's residence.
"Your Grace, something terrible has happened!" Harvey shouted as soon as he entered.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
"We have received reliable information that Catherine's cavalry seems to have been completely wiped out."
Bonaparte was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
"Who did this? Their cavalry have only been gone for four or five days. If I'm not mistaken, they are only a few hundred kilometers away from St. Petersburg."
"We were wiped out by an unknown team."
“Good, good, good…” Bonaparte nodded excitedly. “Their cavalry has been wiped out, and their infantry and artillery are nothing to me.”
"Your Excellency, what are your plans?"
"I will write to His Majesty now, hoping that His Majesty will send over the most elite cavalry and infantry of France," Bonaparte said excitedly.
"Your Grace, do you intend to help these Russians fight this war?"
“No, no, no…” Bonaparte shook his head. “St. Petersburg has a wealth of treasures, whatever the purpose of this group’s visit.”
"I, Bonaparte, will definitely take advantage of this chaos; I have long coveted the Rakshasa."
"Weren't these Rakshasa people going to rob the Great Xia Dynasty? They never expected that they would be the ones stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind them."
No matter how much they steal, it will all end up in my hands eventually.
"Even if they don't rob, it doesn't matter."
These things from St. Petersburg will eventually end up in my hands.
Harvey and Victor both gave a thumbs up.
"Your Excellency the Duke is truly insightful."
"Your Excellency the Duke's words, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,' truly resonate with me."
"No matter how much gold the other side manages to steal, it will eventually end up in our hands."
"Alright, get on with the arrangements. I hope to see our troops near St. Petersburg within ten days."
"yes……"
…………
Jiang Tian's car swayed and bumped as it headed straight for St. Petersburg.
“The Rakshasa Kingdom is really big,” Jiang Tian had only seen the vast territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom on a map before.
In this world, the land area of each country is more than ten times larger than that of Earth.
Jiang Tian's car wasn't slow, but on this vast grassland, it looked as slow as a snail.
"Such a good place, and it's all taken up by those blond-haired, blue-eyed people. I get angry just thinking about it."
“With your strength, my lord, you could easily take over this place and make it your own,” Ji Yanran quickly reassured her.
"Chen Yuanyuan, what do you think of this place?" The car had been driving for more than an hour before they could see a town in the distance.
However, the town appears to be quite small.
“If my husband thinks a place is good, then it is good. In my opinion, all places seem to be about the same.”
However, this place is nowhere near as prosperous as the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Of course, how many countries can be as prosperous as the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"My lord, look over there! It looks like there was just a battle." Ji Yanran, with her sharp eyes, spotted the corpses of Russian cavalrymen.
The little girl quickly pointed to the right front of the vehicle.
