“Your Majesty, although the strength of the Eastern Ocean Empire is not as good as ours. However, it should not be underestimated. Over the years, their industry has developed tremendously. Moreover, their population is not very small, there are already more than 40 million. Even if it can’t be compared with the empire, it’s quite a lot. More importantly, the heart of the empire was too far from the Far East.
The Oriental people could quickly mobilize hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of troops into battle. If only the 6th Army were to be relied upon, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Orientals. ”
Admiral Kulopatkin did not question Mikhail’s predictions. But he was also worried about the war that would follow.
“I know that the 6th Army has limited strength. It was indeed difficult to rely on the 6th Army to resist the Orientals. However, by the time the war broke out, the Trans-Siberian Railway was already open. The 5th Army will fully support you. If necessary, the 1st Army could also rush to the Far East for reinforcements. In this way, we have enough strength to deal with the Orientals.
The Oriental people were able to mobilize a large number of troops. Moreover, their soldiers fought and were not afraid of death. However, the disadvantages of the Oriental people are also very obvious. Whether it is weapons and equipment, or firepower, it is absolutely not comparable to the reorganized Imperial Army.
Even if our strength is inferior to the other side, our combat effectiveness should be far above the Orientals!”
Mikhail is still very confident about this.
This is also the reason why he vigorously promoted the integration of the troops.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” admiral Kulopatkin nodded repeatedly.
If reinforced by the 5th Army and other units. Well, he has no problem.
In addition, the Imperial Army will strengthen the construction of fortifications in the Far East. The Imperial Army was to strengthen its construction in the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, in Kwantung State, as well as in the northeastern region of the Qing Empire and the coastal area of the Empire’s Far East. Over there at the Pacific Fleet of the Navy, I will say hello to them.
Once war broke out, the empire’s defense line in the Far East would inevitably be fiercely attacked by the Orientals. And the hinterland of the empire is too far from the Far East. Even if the railway is completed, it will take a long time to send troops to the Far East. Therefore, both the Imperial Army and the Navy needed to use powerful fortifications to resist the attacks of the Orientals. Moreover, with the help of fortifications, the living forces of the Oriental people were killed. Get ready for the next counterattack of the Empire!”
Mikhail continued.
In another time and space, after the outbreak of the war between the Eastern Empire and the Tsarist Empire, the Oriental people invested the main force in the early stage of the war and stormed the Tsarist Imperial Army.
The combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army in another time and space cannot be compared with this time and space. Even though it caused great casualties to the Orientals, it still failed to resist the Orientals.
As a result, Nicholas II was not willing to accept defeat and mobilized the main naval forces to form the Second Pacific Fleet for an expedition. As a result, it was beaten by the Oriental people and wiped out.
This also made the Imperial Russian Navy, which was once in the top three in the world, almost wiped out.
In this time and space, such a situation should naturally be avoided as much as possible.
“Yes, Your Majesty. However, if the empire wants to fight the Orientals, the most important thing is probably the navy.
The Toyo Empire was a nation of islands, and if their army wanted to land on the Goryeo Peninsula and launch an attack on the empire, it had to be protected by the navy. Otherwise, once they were unable to seize sea supremacy, the Imperial Navy could cut off their logistics supply lines. Admiral Kulopatkin said.
Mikhail nodded repeatedly, and he naturally understood this.
“You’re right, the Navy is really critical. The Oriental people are already vigorously developing the navy. The sun never sets and is building various types of warships for the Orientals. At the same time, the Orientals were building their own warships. As a result, the naval strength of the Oriental people is developing by leaps and bounds. In a very short time, it can pose a huge threat to the Imperial Navy.
Next, the empire will also increase the development of the navy and strive to defeat the navy of the Oriental people in future wars!”
Mikhail also knew very well that the navy was the decisive force in the battle against the Orientals.
Otherwise, the army alone, even if it withstood the attack of the Oriental on the ground battlefield, would not be able to achieve a perfect victory.
This also made the Russian Empire have to pay attention to the development of the navy next. It is necessary to build a powerful navy that can cross more than half the world and defeat the Eastern Empire in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Russian Empire to win future wars.
If nothing else, the Sun Never Sets Empire alone will not watch the Tsarist Empire win, and they will definitely use all kinds of methods to trip up the Tsarist Empire.
Although the strength of the Imperial Russian Navy was not weak, it was too scattered. To reinforce the Far East, you would have to cross most of the world. And this is undoubtedly the biggest dilemma faced by the Imperial Russian Navy.
