Chapter 131 The Determination Of The Orientals (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
"The army of the Tsarist Russian Empire is very powerful. The main reason is that their army has a large number of standing troops, which is the number one in the world. However, the Tsarist Russian Empire also has a huge shortcoming. That is, their land area is too large So much so that their army needs to deploy too many places. Especially the European region is their key defense area. Their main force is deployed in the European region.
The Tsarist Russian Empire Army in the Far East only had more than 200,000 people. From this point of view, the Oriental Empire undoubtedly has a huge advantage. "
Secretary of War Arnold Foster seems to be very optimistic about the Eastern Empire.
"Don't forget, the Russians built a large railway across Siberia, which has been completed and opened to traffic. The Russians can use this railway to continuously transport troops to the Far East. Then, can the Eastern Empire still have an advantage? asked Chancellor of the Exchequer Austin Chamberlain.
"No, Your Excellency, I still have great confidence in the Dongyang people. Even if the Russians built the Trans-Siberian Railway, the capacity of the railway is limited after all. At the same time, it will take time to send 03 troops to the Far East. If Dongyang People can seize the opportunity and assemble the main force to launch a fierce attack on the Russians at the beginning of the war and severely damage them. Then, no matter how many troops the Russians send to the Far East in the future, it will be difficult for the Russians to reverse the situation!" Arnoldford Sturt explained.
Austin Chamberlain nodded, accepting this explanation.
"In addition to the army, what about the navy? The Orientals must also win at sea. Otherwise, their army cannot defeat the Russians." Foreign Secretary Fitzmaurice asked.
"The navy of the Orientals has also achieved rapid development over the years. They have built a powerful fleet with six battleships and eight armored cruisers as the core. Moreover, in our shipyard, there are two more The Dongyang battleship is under construction. If we want people to fight against the Russians now, these two battleships may not be able to catch up. However, it does not matter. With the current naval power of the Dongyang people, there is no problem in defeating the Russians.
For the Russians over the years, the speed of naval development has been greatly reduced. They seem to put their main energy on the development of various domestic affairs.
Although the Russian Pacific Fleet is not weak. But those warships are too old. Facing the advanced warships of the Orientals, it is almost impossible to win.
Even after the war broke out, the Russians mobilized warships from Europe to the Far East for reinforcements. However, after the fleet has crossed more than half of the world, how much combat power can be left? If the Japanese can seize the opportunity, they can definitely win a brilliant victory!"
The Lord of the Navy, Lord Walter Kerr, also had great confidence in the Orientals.
After all, the current Orientals can be regarded as students whose sun never sets. Not only the main battleships are almost all purchased from the empire on which the sun never sets. Even their admirals and senior officers
Many of them have studied in the empire on which the sun never sets.
The Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets thinks that this student, Dongyang, is a very good student. Therefore, I have great confidence in them.
"Besides, we can also think of causing some trouble for the Russians. For example, the Suez Canal is still under our control. We can close the Suez Canal and not open it to Russian warships. Then, the Russian warships will They can only detour around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa for thousands of miles. This will undoubtedly further increase their difficulty. If the Orientals want to win, it will be even easier!" Lord Walter Kerr continued.
Arthur Bell nodded repeatedly: "Very well, although we will not personally participate in the war against the Russians. However, we can provide more support to the Eastern Empire within our capacity. For example, set up more obstacles for the Russians . Provide intelligence support to the Orientals. Even provide more new weapons and so on to the Orientals.
In this case, it can ensure that the Orientals defeat the Russians and win the war. At the same time, it can also guarantee our neutrality. "
The other cabinet ministers of the empire on which the sun never sets also nodded.
Isn't that what the empire on which the sun never sets has been doing all along?
"Then, send a formal note to the Orientals, ask the Imperial Minister to the Eastern Empire to inform the people that the sun never sets, and go to war with the Russians as soon as possible. If they can defeat the Russians, then, in the diplomatic field, we will provide them with support. At the same time, we will provide more support to the empire on which the sun never sets!" Prime Minister Arthur Bell said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Foreign Secretary Fitzmaurice replied.
Immediately, the foreign minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets, Fits Morris, personally sent a telegram to the imperial envoy in the Eastern Empire, asking him to make a request to the Eastern Empire.
The minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets to the Eastern Empire immediately called on the Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, General Katsura Katsura, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura Kotaro. Formally made a request to them on the empire on which the sun never sets.
Facing the request of the empire on which the sun never sets, the Oriental Empire simply could not refuse.
As dogs raised by people who never set the sun, can they still refuse when the owner has given an order?
Don't forget, as the master, the empire on which the sun never sets also has a strong military strength. Especially the navy is well-deserved number one in the world. If the Japanese dare to refuse. In other words, they dare to go back on their word and disobey the order of the man on whom the sun never sets. The empire on which the sun never sets can make the Orientals fall into a place of eternal doom at any time.
For example, if the sun never sets, people can deploy a fleet at will, and send the navy that was built with great difficulty by the Eastern Empire to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. At that time, the Oriental Empire will become a world-class power, let alone further develop and become stronger. I'm afraid I can't even guarantee my own safety.
The Orientals hope that, with the support of the empire on which the sun never sets, they can successfully become one of the world's great powers.
Therefore, General Katsura Katsura, the prime minister of the Eastern Empire, immediately stated to the Minister of the Empire that the Sun Never Sets that the Eastern Empire will further speed up its military preparations and start war against the Tsarist Russian Empire in the near future. And, will do everything possible to defeat the Russian Empire.
The Orientals are also very clear that if they can defeat the Tsarist Empire, they will gain great benefits. Therefore, they naturally have to do their best.
The Minister of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets also stated that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets will do its best to provide assistance to the Eastern Empire. Apart from directly sending troops to participate in the war, other aspects will strongly support them. .
