Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

Although the strength of the Russian Empire is far stronger than that of the Eastern Empire, for the Russian Empire, the next battle with the Oriental people will still be a very crucial battle, or a battle that determines fate.

The Russian Empire also could not afford to lose, and it had to do its best to win this battle.

Otherwise, the Russian Empire would have paid a heavy price for this defeat. Not only in the Far East interests will be lost. At the same time, it will also become a stepping stone for the Oriental Empire to become one of the world's great powers. It will also make the Russian Empire a laughing stock of the entire Western world.

Under such circumstances, the Russian Empire naturally had no other options, and could only do its best to defeat the Orientals in one fell swoop.

Similarly, for the Russian Empire, this was an extremely crucial battle.

Once defeated, the "397" state of the Tsarist Russian Empire will fall into a place of irreparable disaster, and it will be very difficult to rise again. Moreover, they will no longer be able to get rid of the control of the Sun Never Set Empire, and will completely become the lackeys of the Sun Never Set Empire.

If they could, the Oriental people certainly didn't want to be lackeys for the sun never set. Even when he is a lackey for the sun does not set, he has gained a lot of benefits. But the Oriental people also want to be able to get rid of the control of the sun that never sets. However, in the absence of any other way, he can only be a lackey.

Defeating the Russian Empire, becoming one of the world's great powers, and even gaining equal status with the same empire has become the only hope for the Orientals.

At the end of January 1804, the high-ranking officials of the army and navy of the Prime Minister Office of the Eastern Empire gathered here.

The three commanders of the army, namely Lieutenant General Masaichi Terauchi, Minister of War, General Yamaiwa, Army Staff Officer, and Senior General Michikan Nozu, Director of Army Education. The three commanders of the Navy, Vice Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy, Admiral Sukehiro Ito, Minister of the Navy Command, and Vice Admiral Heihachiro Togo, Commander of the Combined Fleet, all attended the meeting.

This meeting is a pre-war meeting, and they will decide on the tactics adopted by the Eastern Empire in the following wars, the strategic goals that have been predetermined, and so on.

"Gentlemen, the war is about to begin. The empire had to send an arrow on the string this time. We have no turning back. So, this time we can only go one way to the dark. Either defeat the Russians and get the final victory. Then it was defeated by the Russians and paid a terrible price. I hope that we can achieve a brilliant victory in this battle. Prime Minister Senior General Katsura Taro said to the generals with a serious face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" the generals replied.

"How is the Imperial Army preparing here?" asked Senior General Katsura Taro.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Imperial Army is ready. The Imperial Army's 17 standing infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades were combat-ready. We have decided to form the Manchurian Army, with His Excellency Oyama Iwa as the commander of the Manchurian Army and His Excellency Kodama Gentaro as the chief of staff, with full authority to direct this military operation!" said Lieutenant General Masahiri Terauchi, Minister of War.

Senior General Katsura nodded, although he was also from the army. However, now that he is the prime minister of the Eastern Empire, he only needs to be in charge of overall affairs. The specific combat actions of the army next are decided by the army's top brass.

"Oyama-kun, what are you going to fight this time?" asked General Katsura.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Manchurian Army will be divided into four armies.

Among them, the First Army had the Guards Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 12th Division, with General Kuroki as the commander.

The 2nd Army had the 3rd Infantry Group, 4th Regiment, 6th Division, 8th Division, 1st Cavalry Brigade and 1st Field Artillery Brigade, with Senior General Obagong as commander.

The Third Army, commanded by the 1st Infantry Division, the 7th Division, the 9th Division, the 11th Division, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade, was commanded by Senior General Nogi Yoshinori. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

The Fourth Army, commanded by the 5th Infantry Division, 10th Division, 14th Regiment, 16th Division, 19th Division and 20th Division, was commanded by Senior General Nozu Michikan.

The reserve force in the country will form the Fifth Army, with Senior General Keiaki Arikawa Mura as its commander. If the battle at the front is not going well, the Fifth Army will immediately land and reinforce the front line!"

General Oyama Iwa briefed everyone on the relevant military arrangements.

The current seventeen standing divisions and two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades of the Eastern Imperial Army are all assigned to the four corps in front... 0 These four armies are also the main forces of the Eastern Imperial Army.

In addition, in the mainland of the Eastern Empire, reserves will be drawn to form the Fifth Army so that it can reinforce the front line at any time.

Because of this time and space, the Russian Empire was far more powerful than another time and space.

Therefore, the Eastern Imperial Army in this time and space is also more powerful. Each infantry division is composed of two infantry brigades, four infantry wings, plus a large number of divisions directly subordinate to the division. The strength of each division and regiment reached about 28,500 men.

Therefore, the 17 infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field artillery brigades that the Eastern Imperial Army was preparing to invest in the war alone amounted to more than half a million people.

Compared to another time and space, there are many more troops invested in the battlefield.

In addition, in the Oriental Empire itself, the Eastern Imperial Army was also mobilizing reserve forces to form the Fifth Army. It is initially expected that seventeen infantry divisions will be mobilized by the Eastern Imperial Army itself. This means that the strength of the Fifth Army of the Eastern Imperial Army will be very large.

If the Eastern Imperial Army had invested such a large number of troops, it would not be able to win this war. Then, the Eastern Empire will further mobilize. 3.

After all, in this era, the total population of the Eastern Empire was only more than forty million. However, their reserve strength is as high as two million, which is enough for them to further mobilize and mobilize more troops for the war.

It can be seen that in order to win this battle, the Eastern Empire is also open and ready to do its best.

Senior General Katsura Taro nodded repeatedly, in his opinion, the Eastern Imperial Army invested such a large army. It was simply impossible for the Russian Empire to withstand their attack.

Although the standing forces of the Russian Empire were very large. But the mobilization of the Eastern Empire at any cost was enough to give them an advantage in strength. Of course, the prerequisite was that the Russian Empire did not carry out mobilization. The reservists of the Russian Empire were larger than those of the Eastern Empire.
