Oriental Empire, Imperial Palace, Conference Room.
After Ming Zhi Tianhuang learned that the Sun Never Sets Empire asked them to start a war against the Tsarist Empire as soon as possible, he immediately convened cabinet ministers and high-level military officials to hold a pre-imperial meeting.
After all, this is a battle related to the fate of the Eastern Empire, so he can’t pay attention to it!
“Gentlemen, the sun has asked us to go to war against the Russians as soon as possible. In the face of the request that the sun never set, we simply cannot refuse. Therefore, we have only one option, and that is to do everything in our power to defeat the Russians. This is the best result for the most imperial situation.
If the Empire can defeat the Russians, then we will not only become famous on the international stage, successfully stepping on the corpse of the Russians and becoming one of the world’s great powers. At the same time, it will be able to take away from the hands of the Russians those interests that originally belonged to us. Perhaps, with the help of the people who do not set the sun, from the Russians, a large sum of war reparations! ”
Ming Zhi Tianhuang’s eyes were full of madness.
After defeating the Qing Empire, the Eastern Empire hoped to gain the entire Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. However, with the intervention of the Russians, they had to spit out a lot of benefits. Moreover, the Russians had to advance and occupy the northern part of the Goryeo Kingdom.
This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to the Eastern Empire.
However, the war had just ended. In addition, the Russian Empire was one of the most powerful countries in the world. This made the Eastern Ocean Empire dare not act rashly at all, and could only endure it.
However, the hatred of the Eastern Empire for the Tsarist Empire has never decreased, but has become more and more important with the accumulation of time.
In addition, after defeating the Great Qing Empire, the Eastern Empire received war reparations of more than 200 million taels of silver. It would be perfect if after the defeat of the Russian Empire and a large amount of war reparations were also obtained.
At that time, the financial problems that have always plagued the Eastern Empire will be solved. At the same time, the military strength of the Eastern Empire will also develop more powerful. The Toyo Empire will become a world-class power. Even, you will be able to get rid of the control of the sun that never sets.
The cabinet ministers and military officials of the Eastern Empire were also full of fanaticism in their eyes.
Although, going to war with such a powerful country as the Russian Empire would undoubtedly be very risky. However, the gambling nature of Oriental people has always been very large. Even if the odds of winning are small, Orientals will gamble at any cost.
In another time and space, the Oriental people have repeatedly pressed the national fortune to gamble, isn’t that the case?
This time, the Oriental people are obviously planning to gamble on the national fortune.
“Your Majesty, this time we will definitely be able to defeat the Russians. We’ve been preparing for a long time. Everything is ready. Amaterasu will surely bless us. In this battle, the empire will win,” said General Katsura Taro.
“Imperial Army, when will it be ready for war and launch an attack on the Russians?” Senior General Katsura asked.
Although, he is from the Army. However, now that he is prime minister, the specific affairs of the Army have been handed over to the top of the Army.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the 17 standing infantry divisions of the Imperial Army are at full strength. The rest of the cavalry and artillery were equally ready and ready to go into battle. However, specific battle plans are still being worked out. At the same time, more combat materiel needs to be assembled. After all, the enemy we are facing this time is the Russian Empire, which is a world-class power. Therefore, this war will last for a long time if it is not done well. We have to be prepared! Lieutenant General Masahiri Terauchi, Minister of War, said.
Senior General Katsura Taro nodded: “Then, the army side should complete the relevant preparations as soon as possible.” Once war broke out, the army needed to inflict heavy damage on the Russians in the shortest possible time. In this way, we can ensure that we gain an advantage on the land battlefield. Only then can the Russians continue to send more troops to the Far East. ”
“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Lieutenant General Masatake Terauchi replied.
The Russian Empire had an extremely large standing army, which the Eastern Empire had to pay attention to.
Even though the Russian Empire did not have many armies deployed in the Far East. However, once the Eastern Empire did not quickly achieve victory, it gained the upper hand. Then, once the Russian Empire continuously sends more troops to reinforce, the war will inevitably fall into a protracted war. At that time, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for the Eastern Empire to win this war. After all, the rise of the Eastern Empire was too short. Compared with the Russian Empire, there is a very big gap between their foundation.
“What about the mobilization system of the army units? Whether it can function properly. We have to prepare for the worst. Once the war is not going well, we must mobilize more troops to the battlefield as soon as possible! General Katsura asked.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the mobilization system of the Imperial Army is functioning normally. If necessary, we would be able to form seventeen more infantry divisions into the war within three months. If necessary, in a year thirty more infantry divisions will be formed! Army Staff Chief General Yama Yan replied.
General Katsura nodded, very satisfied.
On the side of the Eastern Imperial Army, it seems that there is no problem. He did not believe that in the Eastern Empire, if more than sixty infantry divisions were mobilized, it would not be able to win.
“So, what about the Navy?” Senior Admiral Katsura Taro looked at Vice Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Imperial Navy has completed its preparations. All the current warships of the Imperial Navy, including 6 battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 17 protected cruisers and 23 destroyers, have formed combat effectiveness. If needed, we can form a combined fleet within a month (Wang Haohao) and go to war! Lieutenant General 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 a matter of whether we can win this battle. Therefore, the Navy must win! General Katsura Taro had a serious expression. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
“The navy will definitely be able to defeat the Russians!” Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei is also very confident.
Ming Zhi Tianhuang watched General Katsura Taro make relevant deployments and was very satisfied. Although he is a Tianhuang, his ability to handle state affairs is not very strong. Therefore, the specific affairs are still the responsibility of the ministers. He just needs to see the final result.
“Gentlemen, in this battle, we can only win, not lose! Amaterasu will definitely bless us! Ming Zhi Tianhuang said to everyone.
“The empire is onboard, His Majesty Tianhuang is onboard!” The ministers chanted one after another.
