“Gentlemen, start preparing now. This time, we must crush the Russians in one fell swoop, at least recapture the island of Hokkaido, seize the Korean Peninsula, and prepare for the next step of continued foreign expansion!” said Prime Minister Hara.
“Hey, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” the cabinet ministers of the Eastern Empire replied.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, according to the saying of the sun never sets, the Gauls and the lighthouse country, there will be no action against the Russians in the near future. So, we still have time. Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida said.
Yuan Jing nodded: “Then, we must use this time to prepare for war.” Once attacked, directly with strong strength, defeated the Russians in a short time and established a sufficient advantage. So as to force the Russians to negotiate with us and get everything we want at the negotiating table!”
“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” replied Admiral Yoshiichi Tanaka and Admiral Yuzaburo Kato, Minister of the Navy.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, from now on, the Imperial Army must assemble all standing divisions. Moreover, training is carried out to ensure that if an attack is launched, these forces can burst into full strength. General Yoshiichi Tanaka said.
The current East Ocean Empire Army 047 Army has a total of twenty-one standing divisions. That is, the Guards Division, already the 1st to 20th Infantry Divisions. In addition, the Eastern Imperial Army also formed 4 field heavy artillery brigades, 4 cavalry brigades, and two tank brigades.
The standing strength of the Eastern Imperial Army has reached 660,000 people.
In addition, the Eastern Imperial Army has also been strengthening the combat strength of the troops over the years, especially equipping the troops with more machine guns, artillery, and mortars. Moreover, in the last world war, after the emergence of tanks in Europe, the Eastern Imperial Army also introduced relevant equipment in time, began their imitation road, and established a tank unit.
It can be said that in the Far East, the Eastern Imperial Army is definitely the most powerful army.
Even the forces deployed by the Russian Empire in the Far East are not necessarily opponents of the Orientals.
Of course, this is mainly because the main forces of the Tsarist Imperial Army are deployed in the European region.
But even so, the Eastern Empire had already established a huge advantage in the Far East in terms of land.
“In addition to the standing forces, reserve forces also need to be prepared. The Russians will certainly not give up, and they will certainly mobilize more troops from Europe for reinforcements. Just like the last war we fought with the Russians. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize enough reserves at the first time!” reminded Marshal Youpeng of Shan County.
“Hi, Your Excellency. Once we decide to do it against the Russians, we will form ten infantry divisions within a month. In three months, twenty infantry divisions will be formed!” replied General Yoshiichi Tanaka.
Reserve units of thirty infantry divisions, this is the large number of troops that the Toyos were able to mobilize in a short time. If you add twenty-one standing divisions, the Oriental Imperial Army can form fifty-one infantry divisions. When you add it all up, that’s almost 1.5 million people.
This number is not small.
Of course, the Eastern Empire also had a large number of school-age soldiers, as well as township soldiers and so on. These personnel, after mobilization and training, can also be sent to the battlefield.
After all, the total population of the current Eastern Empire has reached more than 50 million people. It is not difficult to mobilize one or two million people.
Especially with the support of the sunseters, the Gauls and the lighthouse country, their biggest shortcoming, namely the lack of resources, has been solved. Then, naturally, the war potential of the Oriental people can be fully realized.
“The Ministry of Finance, on its part, is trying to squeeze out a special fund for the army to secretly mobilize (ABFJ) and prepare for battle. Prime Minister Hara ordered.
“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” replied Minister Kiyoshi Takahashi.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy side also needs to prepare in advance. Moreover, secretly try to break through the restrictions of the Five Nations Naval Treaty and build larger and more powerful warships!” demanded Admiral Yuzaburo Kato.
The Five-Power Naval Treaty has only recently been signed!” Prime Minister Hara was worried.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is true that the Five-Power Naval Treaty has only recently been signed. But when the sun does not set and the Gauls and the lighthouse state support us, do we still need to be afraid of the Russians? Even if they learn that we are secretly building larger warships, there is nothing we can do. As for the sun never sets, the Gauls and the lighthouse country, since they want us to deal with the Russians, they can’t give us no benefits at all, right? At that time, our naval strength will be stronger, and it will be more conducive to our outward expansion. Senior General Yuzaburo Kato continued.
Finally, with such a good opportunity, of course, the Eastern Empire will not let it go. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
Prime Minister Hara frowned, it was not that he did not want the Toyo Imperial Navy to become more powerful. In fact, the navy’s warships need to burn money! Every warship needs to spend a lot of money. Especially the capital battleship, even more so.
Build one capital ship, enough for the army to form more than ten infantry divisions.
General Yoshiichi Tanaka, Minister of War, also frowned tightly. However, he did not open his mouth to stop it.
After all, in the case of imminent war, the stronger the Oriental Empire’s navy, the more beneficial it would be to the Oriental Empire.
“How many warships does the Navy want to build?” asked Gen. Yoshiichi Tanaka.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, our two Kaga-class battleships have already started construction. But because of treaty restrictions, construction had to stop. Now, we can get started. In this way, in two and a half years at most, you will be able to serve.
In addition to this, we intend to build four Amagi-class battlecruisers and four Kii-class battleships. Once these ships are commissioned, the size of the Navy’s capital ships will reach 22. Our overall strength will be second only to the Lighthouse Country. If only the Pacific Fleet of the Russians could be taken out in this battle. Then, even if the rest of the remaining fleet of the Russians all attack, we can resist it!” Senior General Yuzaburo Kato looked confident.
