"Gentlemen, I know that Orientals are strong. However, everyone must also know that we are stronger. If before the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it might have been difficult for us to project our military power to the Far East. However, this is now completely different. I have already ordered the 5th Army to be ready. Once war breaks out, the 5th Army will send to the Far East to reinforce you as soon as possible.

At the same time , the 1st Army , as well as other units , was able to draw in some units as reserves. Once the war is unfavorable, these troops can go to the Far East by rail. I believe that we have enough strength to defeat the Orientals. After all, even without mobilization, our standing army is already as high as 1.6 million people! "

Mikhail said to the generals.

The generals of the 6th Army, including General Kulopatkin, nodded repeatedly.

The strength of the Russian Empire was unquestionable, and they had the largest standing army in the world. It's just that because the territory of the Russian Empire is too vast, there are too many areas that need to be garrisoned. Therefore, it seems that the number of troops is somewhat insufficient.

However, once war broke out, the Russian Empire would mobilize as many troops as possible into the war. If this did not work, the Russian Empire could also be mobilized.

You know, the Russian Empire has perfected the mobilization system over the years, and that is not a joke.

In addition to the fact that the Trans-Siberian Railway has been built, do the Orientals still want to defeat the Russian Empire? That's delusional at all.

If the Trans-Siberian Railway is built, the Oriental may have a chance. But now, they don't have a chance.

"In the next time, everyone should continue to strengthen the training of the army and the construction of fortifications. In particular, northern Korea and Kanto Prefecture are even more important. I hope that we can withstand the attack of the Oriental people on these two important battlefields! Mikhail ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the generals replied.

Mikhail spent two days in Vladivostok before setting off south for Kanto Prefecture.

There, there is the Lushun Military Port, which is known as the first fortress in the Far East. It is also the main anchorage of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. At the same time, the entire fortress, in recent years, has also been strengthened by the army and navy of the Russian Empire.

When Mikhail and the others arrived in Kwantung Prefecture, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Vice Admiral Alekseev, and other generals of the Pacific Fleet were already waiting.

Although, the Pacific Fleet is currently downgraded to an offshore defense fleet. However, after the strength was strengthened, equipped with a large number of battleships and armored cruisers, the strength of the entire fleet has been greatly improved compared to before. This made Vice Admiral Alekseev slowly accept the reality that the Pacific Fleet was no longer the main force of the Imperial Russian Navy.

Of course, if he could, he also hoped that the Pacific Fleet would still have hope of becoming the main fleet.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, Your Majesty the Empress, welcome to Lushun Military Port!" Lieutenant General Alekseev said.

Mikhail nodded, he was full of emotion for this military port.

At the beginning, the Qing Empire built this military port for the Beiyang Navy Division to anchor. But I didn't expect that before the construction of the military port was completed, it was defeated by the Orientals. As a result, the Qing Empire had to cede this place to the Orientals.

But the Russian Empire could not tolerate this, so it forcibly intervened and forced the Oriental people to return this place to the Qing Empire.

However, soon the Russian Empire forced the Qing Empire to lease this area to the Russian Empire. Not only that, the Russian Imperial Army also entered the Goryeo Peninsula and conquered the Peninsula with the Orientals. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

At that time, the strength of the Eastern Empire was far from being able to compete with the Tsarist Empire, and it could only pinch its nose and admit it. But it also made the Oriental people hate the Tsarist Empire to the bone.

Subsequently, Mikhail, led by Lieutenant General Alekseev, visited the entire Lushun fortress.

It is worthy of being called the first military port in the Far East, especially over the years, the Russian Empire has also strengthened the construction of military ports and deployed a large number of coastal defense guns. In particular, the most famous 203 Heights, that is, in another time and space war, the highland where the Orientals suffered heavy casualties, built a large number of fortifications and coastal defense batteries.

"Your Majesty, after the current reinforcement of the Lushun Fortress, the defensive strength has been significantly improved... 0 The entire fortress was equipped with a total of 12 305-mm coastal defense guns, 18 280-mm coastal defense guns, 36 210-mm coastal defense guns, and more than a hundred 155-mm coastal defense guns. In addition to this, a large number of 105-mm light howitzers and 75-mm field guns were armed.

The entire fortress was built with a large number of machine-gun pillboxes, permanent fire points and artillery positions, all connected by trenches. Once attacked, it will become a whole. Strong fortifications, strong enough to withstand attacks from the sea. Even enemy 305-mm naval guns will be difficult to destroy coastal batteries.

In addition to this, the 7th and 8th brigades of the Imperial Marine Corps, as well as the army's two infantry divisions, the garrison brigade Shun Fortress and the surrounding area. If the war does not go well, we can push into the fortress and defend it. Inside the fortress, a large amount of food, ammunition and other supplies were stored, enough to last more than a year. "

Lieutenant General Alekseev is still very attentive to the current construction of the Lushun fortress.

Mikhail nodded, on the whole, the defense of the Lushun Fortress had indeed been greatly strengthened. If the Oriental people want to fight here, it is definitely not so easy. If you don't get it right, you will bang your head here and break the blood, and you will lose a lot.

Of course, the current fortress also has shortcomings. 2.8 That is, all the fortifications of the fortress, almost all of them are deployed on the front, but in the direction of the sea. Once the Oriental people attack from behind, it will be difficult to resist it. You know, Orientals are the best at roundabouts behind their backs.

So, Mikhail specifically pointed this out.

"Next, we need to strengthen the construction of fortifications behind the fortress, build more forts, machine gun bunkers, dark bunkers, pull up barbed wire, deploy minefields and so on. Once the Orientals attack from behind the fortress, let them shed rivers of blood. I hope that after the outbreak of war, even if this place is besieged by heavy troops of the Orientals, it will be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive! Mikhail said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! We promise to get the job done! Lieutenant General Alekseev answered.
