“Abominable! Damn the Russians, what the hell are they trying to do? Could it be that they still want to truly destroy the Eastern Empire? Their appetite is probably too big! Prime Minister Arthur Belfort was furious.
The current situation in the Far East is so bad that Prime Minister Arthur Belfort is very annoyed by the current situation. If he could, he would certainly like to find a way to change the current situation.
But the current situation makes him feel helpless.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the direct landing of the Russians on the mainland of the Eastern Empire to launch an attack is indeed beyond our expectations. However, if the Russians wanted to destroy the Eastern Empire, it would be unrealistic. After all, the Eastern Empire was defeated by the Russians. However, the strength is not weak, and there are still tens of millions of people.
Besides, the island that the Russians chose to land on is Hokkaido, not the most core and most populous island of Honshu of the Oriental people. It can be seen from this that the Russians are also avoiding a larger war with the Orientals.
The Russians now have sea control, plus the Oriental have not deployed many troops on the island of Hokkaido. Therefore, they only need to invest a small number of troops to control the island of Hokkaido. ”
War Secretary Arnold Foster made his point.
But the Russians’ attack on the island of Hokkaido undoubtedly expanded the scale of the war. Previous wars, whether fought on the Goryeo Peninsula or the Liaodong Peninsula, did not involve the territories of the Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire. But now, the war has burned to the homeland of the Oriental people. Well, the nature of this war has changed. Oriental people, I am afraid, will not bow their heads and compromise. Foreign Secretary Fitzmorris said.
After Prime Minister Arthur Belfort listened, his brows furrowed even tighter.
“The Oriental people now undoubtedly hate the Russians incomparably. However, it may still be difficult for them to deal with the Russian attack. The fall of the island of Hokkaido into the hands of the Russians is already doomed. However, the Russian attack on the Eastern Empire is probably not only that. Even if the Russians would no longer send troops to attack the hinterland of the Eastern Empire, or the populous core area. But don’t forget that the coastline of the Eastern Empire is very tortuous. The Imperial Russian Navy, which had absolute sea control, could completely cover the army and land in various parts of the Eastern Empire at will. Even the Russians did not even need to land, but directly sent the navy to attack various coastal cities of the Orientals. You know, the main population of the Eastern Empire is almost all living by the sea. Once these cities were shelled by the Russians. Then, it is inevitable to cause greater losses to the Orientals. Lord Walter Ker, Lord of the Admiralty, reminded.
“It is also important to note that the Eastern Empire, like the Empire, was heavily dependent on overseas trade. Once the Russians use their fleet and cut off the overseas trade routes of the Orientals, will the Orientals still be able to carry on? At that time, they will probably not even have enough to eat, let alone continue to fight with the Russians! Chancellor of the Exchequer Austin Chamberlain reminded.
Prime Minister Arthur Belfort also showed a helpless expression on his face. In his opinion, under such circumstances, the Oriental people seem to be dead.
“Gentlemen, it seems that there is no way to save the Orientals.” Prime Minister Arthur Belfort said.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, unless the Imperial Navy personally enters the war and crushes the Russian navy in one fell swoop. In that case, the crisis of the Oriental people will be lifted. However, for the sake of the Orientals. This will be very detrimental to the empire. Lord Walter Ker, Minister of the Admiralty, said.
Prime Minister Arthur Belfort still shook his head stubbornly: “The empire cannot go to war against the Russians at this time.” Other powers, especially those with ambitions to replace the hegemony of the empire, would probably like us to go to war with the Russians. ”
“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” The other ministers all nodded.
Don’t look at the fact that the sun never sets, the empire is still the world hegemon. However, there are quite a few potential competitors. And one is stronger than the other. Even if the Sun Never Sets Empire is the world hegemon, it must be dealt with carefully.
In addition, it is not yet the time to completely open up, and the Sun Never Set Empire naturally does not want to be overly involved in a big war with a certain power. In that case, it will only make other powerful countries blossom.
“It would be great if we could pull other powers, such as the Germans, the Lighthouse countries, and Austria-Hungary and even Gaul, to besiege the Russians. In this way, we will soon be able to defeat the Russians. War Secretary Arnold Foster said.
The army is the shortcoming of the empire, but the rest of the countries have a large number of army. If they dispatch the army, and the sun never sets the empire sends the navy, it is enough to easily deal with the Tsarist Russian Empire.
But unfortunately, just think about it. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Even if the Sun Never Set Empire is the world hegemon, those countries cannot obey the orders of the Sun Never Set Empire. Even, they wished that the Sun Never Set Empire would take the lead in the war with the Tsarist Russian Empire, and paid heavy losses in the war. In that case, they will have the opportunity to replace the Sun Never Set Empire and become the new hegemon.
“In any case, this war must end as soon as possible. We need to mark a tougher attitude and make the Russians aware of our attitude. In this way, they can converge a little. It is also possible for the Eastern Empire to preserve its strength to the maximum. (Good, good),” said Alfred Littleton, the colonial secretary.
“That’s right, we have to keep the Oriental people as much as possible, they are a good pawn.” St. John Broderick, Minister of State for Heavenly Affairs, also echoed the killing.
Prime Minister Arthur Belfort thought for a while, and then said: “In this way, order the Far East Fleet to enter the waters near the Eastern Empire and prevent the Russians from attacking other territories of the Eastern Empire.” The Russians were not allowed to cut off the maritime trade routes of the Eastern Empire. If necessary, the merchant ships of the empire could be allowed to transport supplies to the Orientals. In addition, through other diplomatic means, the Russians were warned. Bring the Russians back to the negotiating table. End this war as much as possible! ”
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, or I will go to Mosk myself.” Foreign Secretary Fitzmorris proposed.
“That’s a good idea!” Prime Minister Arthur Belfort readily agreed.
