"Your Excellency, we have taken Mosk. Moreover, the main army of Grand Duke Nicholas has already been annihilated. Although, the Imperial Army still has hundreds of thousands of people. However, these armies were deployed throughout the empire. In a short period of time, it will not be possible to assemble at all, let alone pose a threat to us.

Even if there is a remobilization, it will take a lot of time. Now, we should take advantage of the victory and take Petersburg in one fell swoop. At that time, whether to capture Grand Duke Nicholas or drive him out of the empire. Nothing will change. "

Lieutenant General Brushlov suggested.

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded, it was really time to hurry up and act.

"General Gurko, you led a cavalry unit and rushed to Petersburg. Rush to Petersburg in the shortest possible time and take there. And, control the entire cabinet! I believe that those guys in the cabinet should know what kind of choice to make at this time! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

Previously, the senior officials of the cabinet of the Tsarist Empire, although they were on the side of Grand Duke Nicholas. But among them, there are also the people of Grand Duke Mikhail. More are neutrals who do not express their position clearly.

Now that the war has been won and lost, it is naturally time for them to make a choice.

Grand Duke Mikhail had already won the war and was the first in line to the throne. Although, there is a suspicion of murder of Tsar Nicholas II. However, no one has clear evidence that it is his. Well, no one will be able to prevent him from becoming the new tsar.

Those high-level officials of the cabinet, at this time, naturally will no longer deliberately obstruct. Otherwise, it would be a dead end.

Moreover, they also did not want the Russian Empire to fall into chaos. In that case, it is the entire empire that will be harmed in the end.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I promise to complete the mission!" Lieutenant General Gurko answered immediately.

Immediately, Lieutenant General Gurko led ten cavalry brigades and rushed to Petersburg.

"Your Excellency, do we need to continue mobilizing? We now have hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war on our hands. Among them, there is also the main force of the Guards. Even if some may not want to continue to be in the army. However, we also have enough troops. The mobilization order we issued earlier seems to be able to end. Lieutenant General Brusilov suggested.

Grand Duke Mikhail thought about it and took this suggestion anyway.

The standing forces of the Russian Empire were the largest among the nations.

Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that the territory of the Russian Empire was the largest in the world. At the same time, the population is also the largest in the Western world.

However, in terms of the current economic strength of the Tsarist Empire, the pressure to retain such a large standing army is very great. Especially in terms of finance, the current Tsarist Empire can be described as heavily indebted.

Moreover, because the military budget was not much, the treatment of the soldiers was also so bad that the Tsarist Imperial Army was not only poorly trained, but also poorly equipped. Among the great powers, it is the worst.

Before deciding to march to Petersburg, Grand Duke Mikhail, for the sake of security, ordered the mobilization of twenty more infantry divisions. But now that they have won, the next step will be to reorganize the Guards and Army of the Russian Empire, and naturally there is no need to mobilize so many troops. After all, this is not a time of war, and there is no need to build too many armies at any cost.

"Stop mobilization. However, we will draw elite personnel from among Mosk's prisoners of war and join the army. On this basis, twenty more infantry divisions were formed. After that, the troops of the various military districts of the empire were reorganized to form twenty infantry divisions. So that the standing strength of the Imperial Army is maintained at about sixty infantry divisions! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

With the strength of the troops under Grand Duke Mikhail, the sixty infantry divisions are already almost 1.1 million people.

Together with the reserved cavalry units, artillery units, mountain infantry brigades, etc., the total strength was already able to reach 1.4 million people.

It can be said that in terms of overall scale, it is already larger than the scale of the Tsarist Imperial Army at this time.

Of course, it is absolutely not enough to slightly expand the size of the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army.

Next, the Tsarist Imperial Army also had to strengthen training and equip it with advanced weapons and equipment, so that the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Imperial Army underwent earth-shaking changes.

Grand Duke Mikhail did not want the army of the Russian Empire to continue to be called a garbage unit.

After all, after a few years, the Russian Empire would have to fight the Eastern Empire in the far east.

The Far East was too far away from the Russian Empire, which made it impossible for the Russian Empire to send too many troops to participate in the war. If the combat effectiveness of the army is too bad, how to defeat the Orientals?

Although there are still a few years to go. However, Grand Duke Mikhail must also prepare for this.

He hoped that in that battle, he could defeat the Oriental people in one fell swoop, thus directly cutting off the path of the Oriental Empire to become a great power!
