Chapter 132 Can Only Win, Not Fail! (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
Oriental Empire, Imperial Palace, Conference Room.
After Mingzhi Tianhuang learned that the empire on which the sun never sets requested them to start war against the Russian Empire as soon as possible, he immediately called the cabinet ministers and high-level military officials to hold an imperial meeting.
After all, this is a battle that concerns the fate of the Eastern Empire, so he can't help but ignore it!
"My lords, the man on whom the sun never sets has asked us to go to war against the Russians as soon as possible. Facing the request of the man on whom the sun never sets, we simply cannot refuse. Therefore, we have only one choice
That is to do everything possible to defeat the Russians. This is the best result for the empire.
If the empire can defeat the Russians, then we will not only become famous in the international arena, successfully step on the Russian corpses, and become one of the world powers. At the same time, it can also take away from the hands of the Russians those interests that originally belonged to us. Perhaps, with the help of the sun never sets, we can get a large amount of war reparations from the Russians!"
Mingzhi Tianhuang's eyes were full of madness.
After defeating the Qing Empire, the Oriental Empire hoped to obtain the entire Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. However, under the interference of the Russians, they had to spit out a lot of benefits. Moreover, the Russians went further and occupied the northern part of the Koryo Kingdom.
This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to the Eastern Empire.
However, the war had just ended at that time. In addition, the Tsarist Russian Empire is one of the most powerful countries in the world. This made the Eastern Empire dare not act rashly at all, and could only endure it.
However, the hatred of the Eastern Empire towards the Tsarist Russian Empire has never diminished, but it has grown bigger and bigger with the accumulation of time.
In addition, after defeating the Qing Empire, the Eastern Empire received war reparations of more than 200 million taels of silver. It would be perfect if a large amount of war reparations could be obtained after defeating the Tsarist Russian Empire.
At that time, the financial problems that have been plaguing the Eastern Empire will be resolved. At the same time, the military strength of the Eastern Empire will also develop stronger. The Eastern Empire will become a world-class power. Even, will be able to get rid of the control of the sun never sets.
The eyes of the cabinet ministers and senior military officials of the Eastern Empire are also full of fanaticism.
Although, going to war with a powerful country like the Tsarist Russian Empire will undoubtedly have great risks. However, the gambling nature of the Orientals has always been very large. Even if the chance of winning is very small, the Orientals will gamble at any cost.
In another time and space, the Orientals gambled on the fate of the country many times, isn't that how it is?
This time, the Dongyang people obviously planned to bet on Guojian.
"Your Majesty, we will be able to defeat the Russians this time. We have been preparing for a long time. Everything is ready. God Amaterasu will definitely bless us. This battle, the Empire will surely win"! General Gui Taro said.
"When will the Imperial Army complete its war preparations and launch an attack on the Russians?" General Katsura asked.
Although, he is from the Army. However, as the prime minister now, the specific affairs of the army have been handed over to the top of the army.
"Your Excellency, the 17 standing infantry divisions of the Imperial Army are already at full capacity. The rest of the cavalry and artillery are also ready and ready to go into battle at any time. However, the specific battle plan is still being formulated. At the same time, we still need to gather more combat supplies. After all, the enemy we have to face this time is the Tsarist Russian Empire, which is a world-class power. Therefore, this war may last for a long time. We must You have to be fully prepared!" said Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki, Minister of War.
General Gui Taro nodded: "Then, the army should complete the relevant preparations as soon as possible. Once the war breaks out, the army needs to hit the Russians hard in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can we ensure that we gain an advantage on the land battlefield. Fear that the Russians will continue to send more troops to the Far East."
"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Lieutenant General Terauchi Masaki replied.
The Tsarist Russian Empire has an extremely large standing army, which the Eastern Empire must pay attention to.
Even the Tsarist Russian Empire did not have many troops deployed in the Far East. However, once the Eastern Empire did not win quickly and took advantage. Then, once the Tsarist Russian Empire continues to send more troops to reinforce, the war will inevitably fall into a protracted war. At that time, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Eastern Empire to win this war. After all, the time for the rise of the Eastern Empire was too short. Compared with the Tsarist Russian Empire, their foundation has a very big gap.
"What about the mobilization system of the army? Is it able to function normally? We must prepare for the worst. Once the battle goes wrong, we must mobilize more troops to the battlefield as soon as possible!" General Gui Taro asked.
"`々Your Excellency, the mobilization system of the Imperial Army is functioning normally. If necessary, within three months, we will be able to form another seventeen infantry divisions to go to war. If necessary, within a year Within a few days, another thirty infantry divisions can be formed!" General Dashanyan, chief of staff of the army, replied.
General Gui Taro nodded, very satisfied.
On the side of the Eastern Empire Army, it seems that there is no problem. He didn't think that even if more than 60 infantry divisions were mobilized in the Eastern Empire, it would still be impossible to win.
"So, what about the navy?" Admiral Guitaro looked at Lieutenant Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei, Minister of the Navy.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Navy has completed preparations. All the current warships of the Imperial Navy, including 6 battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 17 protected cruisers and 23 destroyers, have formed combat capabilities. If necessary, we can Within a month (good) the combined fleet will be formed and put into battle!" Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto replied.
"Very well, the role of the imperial navy in this battle is intuitively important. Whether the navy can defeat the Russian navy is related to whether we can win this battle. Therefore, "Kaiwu must win!" Katsura Katsura The general looked serious.
"The navy can definitely defeat the Russians!" Lieutenant General Gonbei Yamamoto was also very confident.
Mingzhi Tianhuang was very satisfied when he saw General Gui Tailang make relevant arrangements. Although he is Tianhuang, his ability to handle state affairs is not strong. Therefore, the specific affairs are still in the charge of the ministers. He just needs to see the end result.
"Masters, in this battle, we can only win, not lose! God Amaterasu will definitely bless us!" Mingzhi Tianhuang said to everyone.
"On board the empire, on board His Majesty Tianhuang!" The ministers shouted one after another. .
