Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 161 Crazy Mobilization (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Third Army has already landed on the Liaodong Peninsula. They have not invested in other fronts. Their purpose is to launch an attack on Lushun Fortress. With the troops under the jurisdiction of the Third Army and the troops deployed by the Russians in Lushun Fortress , we will definitely be able to take Lushun Fortress.

However, the Russians have operated in Lushun Fortress for many years, built a large number of forts and firepower points, and deployed a large number of artillery. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to take down Lushun Fortress

If it is not done well, it will also pay an extremely heavy price. "

General Dashanyan, Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander of the Manchurian Army, reminded.

General Gui Taro nodded. If Lushun Fortress was so easy to fight, the Russians would definitely not stick to it, but gave up immediately. But even so, the Eastern Empire had to win Lushun Fortress. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

"Let Naimu-kun fight freely. No matter how much you pay, as long as you can take Lushun Fortress, it will be worth it. Even if the entire Third Army is wiped out, as long as we defeat the Russians, then everything will be fine." Acceptable!" General Gui Taro said bluntly.

03 In the eyes of the high-level officials of the Eastern Empire, it doesn’t matter how many people die in this war, as long as they can defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire and let the Eastern Empire win the war. Then everything is acceptable. Anyway, the Eastern Empire has a large population, and it has a large number of soldiers to replenish.

No matter how many people die, it is not as important as winning this war.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" General Dashanyan nodded repeatedly.

With the Prime Minister's endorsement, then they can let go of their hands and feet, and they will not be afraid of paying too many casualties.

Anyway, in the eyes of the high-level military, it doesn't matter how many ordinary soldiers die, as long as they are recruited again.

"Your Excellency, the current situation of the Imperial Army on all fronts is very serious. On the Koryo Peninsula, the Imperial Army has already invested 6 infantry divisions. In terms of strength

Although much more than the Russians. However, the Russians occupy powerful terrain. This made it difficult for the Imperial Army to break through.

In the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Second Army was still unable to break through the Russian Shahe line of defense, and suffered heavy losses on this line of defense. After the Fourth Army landed at Yingkou, it also failed to achieve the desired effect. Their offensive has been resisted by the Russians. The entire battle situation is already very unfavorable for us. "

Lieutenant General Masatake Terauchi, Minister of the Army, said.

General Gui Taro's complexion also became extremely ugly.

They really never thought that after the war broke out, it would be like this. This is undoubtedly a very big gap with their previous expectations!

"Your Excellency, the Russians use far fewer troops than us on the battlefield. However, they can occupy a great advantage on the battlefield. This is undoubtedly very dangerous for us. Moreover, the Russians also We are continuously deploying troops from other regions to reinforce the Far East. Once these reinforcements from the Russians arrive, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us.” General Da Shanyan said.

"So, how can we solve the current problem?" General Gui Taro asked.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we can only compete with the Russians in terms of speed, speed of mobilization, and troops on the battlefield. After all, the reinforcements of the Russians need to be transported thousands of miles from Europe to the Far East. But it will take a lot of time. Logistics supplies also need to be transported from Europe to the Far East, which further increases the pressure on the Trans-Siberian Railway. We believe that the Russians can deploy troops on the battlefield is limited. In contrast, we are closer to the battlefield and have convenient sea transportation, which makes it easier to send troops and transport various materials to the battlefield. Therefore, we can send more troops to the battlefield in the shortest possible time If we can have a greater advantage in the number of troops we put into the battlefield, then our chances of defeating the Russians will be even greater!" said Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki

General Gui Taro frowned. He knew very well that the army wanted to further expand its mobilization so that it could send more troops to the battlefield. In this way, the gap in firepower with the Russian army is made up. Then, they gave full play to their strength and defeated the Russians in one fell swoop.

In this case, the Eastern Empire will undoubtedly pay a very high price.

However, the current Eastern Empire seems to have no other choice but to do so.

"What is the army going to do?" General Katsura asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have ordered that the Fifth Army speed up its mobilization. In a month's time at most, the 17 infantry divisions under the Fifth Army will all be put on the battlefield. In addition, the formation of the Sixth Army will begin. , The units under the Sixth Army are estimated to be thirty-four infantry divisions!" said Lieutenant General Masahide Siuchi.

General Gui Taro's eyes widened when he heard this number.

The Fifth Army mobilized 17 infantry divisions, plus the 17 infantry divisions already in the field. Then, the troops of the Eastern Empire Army that went into battle had already reached 34 infantry divisions in 823. If cavalry and field heavy artillery were added, the total strength was as high as one million. If another thirty-four infantry divisions were mobilized to join the battlefield, wouldn't the Eastern Empire employ nearly two million troops in this war?

Although, the reserve personnel of the Eastern Empire has exceeded two million. However, the use of so many troops into this war definitely exceeded the expectations of General Gui Taro and other cabinet ministers. This is simply crazy.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have no other choice. We seriously underestimated the strength of the Russians. If we want to win this war, we must invest more power

Just be prepared to pay a bigger loss. But even if this is the case, it is better than us losing this war!" General Da Shanyan persuaded.

General Gui Taro hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes became firm.

That's right, no matter how high the price is, it's better than losing the war.

"Okay, let's mobilize the army. No matter how much we pay, we must win this battle!" General Gui Taro ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Lieutenant General Zhengyi and General Da Shanyan replied one after another. .
