Chapter 133 War Is Approaching (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
The Eastern Empire began to speed up preparations for war. A large number of troops were being mobilized, and combat supplies were also being transferred to the front line. The warships of the Eastern Imperial Navy also began to gather at the Sasebo Naval Port.
All this has shown that the Oriental Empire has made up its mind and is ready to let go and fight the Tsarist Empire.
The intelligence department of the Tsarist Russian Empire has been focusing on the relevant situation of the Eastern Empire.
This caused the changes in the Eastern Empire to immediately attract the attention of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
On January 6, 1804, Tsar Mikhail convened high-level cabinet and military officials in the Moscow Palace to plan the next situation. Even the commanders of the various armies of the army and the commanders of the fleets of the navy all returned to Moscow to attend this meeting.
"Gentlemen, judging from the information we have so far, the Japanese are already making preparations. The war is imminent. Perhaps, a month later, the war will break out. This time, we cannot have any more Everyone must remain on the highest alert and be prepared." Mikhail said to the generals with a serious face.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied one after another.
"The content of today's meeting will be top-secret. I hope that no news will be spread outside after leaving room 850 of this meeting. If it attracts the attention of the Oriental people, then I will definitely not take it lightly. Forgive me!" Mikhail gave everyone a stern look.
Everyone was stunned, although Mikhail hadn't made any big moves in the past few years. However, they will not forget this young tsar, but he has always been ruthless. Once it really falls into his hands, even if they are in a high position, they will not end well.
"Your Majesty, what do the Orientals think? How could they be willing to sacrifice their lives for the people who never set the sun? They don't really think they can defeat us. After all, there is a great risk. If they fail, They will pay a very high price," asked Prime Minister Podonos Chaf. He couldn't figure out what the brain circuit of the Orientals was like.
Mikhail smiled: "The Orientals are a very paranoid nation. Of course, they are not voluntary to be dogs to the people who never set the sun. A large amount of resources. Without the support of adei, they would not have been able to defeat the Qing Empire in the war ten years ago. At that time, they were gambling with the fate of the country. It is a pity that they Luckily, they actually won the bet. This time, they obviously wanted to gamble again.
Although, the empire is more powerful than the Eastern Empire. However, the Orientals already have a gambler mentality. They think that with the support of the sun never sets, it is entirely possible to defeat us. What's more, if they can really beat us. Well, they will reap huge benefits. They will step on us and become one of the world powers. At the same time, it was also able to drive the empire away from the northeastern region of the Qing Empire and the northern part of the Koryo Peninsula. At that time, how much benefit can they get?
Even if there is a great risk. However, in terms of the extreme character of the Orientals. With so many benefits in front of them, how could they refuse?"
"The Orientals are simply asking for their own death. The empire will let them know what the consequences of challenging the empire will be!" said Minister of Finance Ivan Goremekin.
The other top cabinet and military officials also nodded repeatedly.
The Orientals thought that the Tsarist Empire was in decline, that the Tsarist Empire was easy to bully, and wanted to step on the Tsarist Empire and become one of the world's great powers. This is absolutely unacceptable to the top officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
They cannot tolerate that the Tsarist Russian Empire has become a stepping stone for others.
This is an insult to the Russian Empire!
"Gentlemen, no matter what the Orientals think. The most important thing is that they have already made their choice. Therefore, there is only one choice left for us. That is to defeat the Orientals in one fell swoop in the next war. Let them pay a huge price, let them know that they are enemies of the empire, and they must be prepared to pay a heavy price!" Mikhail ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the top officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire replied one after another.
Since the Orientals want to go to war with the Russian Empire. Then, just hit it directly.
The Tsarist Russian Empire has never been afraid of war.
"The 6th Army of the Army must be prepared for battle and prevent surprise attacks by the Japanese at any time. The Japanese are used to sneaking, and what they like most is to fight without declaring it. They use this method of sneak attack to deal a heavy blow to their opponents unexpectedly. Our troops absolutely cannot give them a chance." Mikhail ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Kuropatkin, commander of the Sixth Army, replied.
"In addition, I have already said before that the battlefield is best limited to the northern part of the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. These two places will inevitably become the key areas for the Japanese to attack. The Sixth Army must strengthen the forces in these two areas." Power configuration." Mikhail continued.
It is undoubtedly the best thing to prevent the flames of war from igniting in the northeast region of the Qing Empire.
The Tsarist Russian Empire has begun to support the internal forces of the Qing Empire and overthrow the rule of the Qing Empire.
Although, it is still in the preparatory stage. However, there are many people who get the support of Tsarist Russia.
Soon, the Qing Empire will break out of war because of this.
Given the current corruption of the Qing Empire, their overthrow is almost a certainty.
Mikhail does not hope that the war between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire will affect this.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Kuropatkin nodded repeatedly.
"The 5th Army must also make preparations. The defense of the Central Asian region will be handed over to the cavalry units directly under the General Staff. The various departments of the 5th Army will begin to shrink. Once a war breaks out, the 5th Army will dispatch troops as soon as possible. , Reinforce the 6th Army. At that time, I will personally go to the Far East to take charge of this battle!" Mikhail said.
This battle is also very critical for the Tsarist Russian Empire. Therefore, he hopes to be as close to the front line as possible, and to be able to keep abreast of the latest situation on the front line.
"Your Majesty, once war breaks out, the front line will be very dangerous. You should stay in Mosk. Let the generals take command of the battle on the front line." Prime Minister Pobie Donoschaf said hastily.
Other high-ranking empires also persuaded them one after another. .
