Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 120: The First Fortress in the Far East!!

“Gentlemen, I know that the Toyo people are very strong. However, everyone must also know that we are stronger. If before the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it may be difficult for our military forces to be projected to the Far East. However, it is completely different now. I have already ordered the 5th Army to get ready. In the event of war, the 5th Army will immediately send to the Far East to reinforce you.

At the same time, the 1st Army, as well as other units, were able to draw some units as reserves. In the event of an unfavorable war, these troops could rush to the Far East by rail. I believe that we have enough strength to defeat the Toyos.

After all, even without mobilization, our standing army would already be as high as 1.6 million people! ”

Mikhail said to the generals.

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

The Russian Empire was undoubtedly powerful, 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 strength is not enough.

However, once war broke out, the Russian Empire would certainly mobilize as many troops as possible to participate in the war.

If it didn’t work, the Russian Empire would also be able to mobilize.

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

Plus the Trans-Siberian Railway has been built, do the Easterners still want to defeat the Russian Empire? That’s simply delusional.

If the Trans-Siberian Railway had been built before, the Easterners might have had 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 Goryeo and Kanto Prefecture are even more important. I hope that we can withstand the attacks of the Orientals on these two important battlefields! ”

“Mihai you ordered.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

All the generals answered one after another.

Mikhail spent two days in Vladivostok before heading south to Kanto Oblast.

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 Russian Imperial Navy.

At the same time, the entire fortress, over the past few years, has also been strengthened by the focus of the army and navy of the Russian Empire When Mikhail and others arrived in Kwantung, 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 a coastal defense fleet.

However, after the strength was strengthened and equipped with a large number of battleships and armored cruisers, the strength of the entire fleet was already 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 Tsarist Imperial Navy.

Of course, if he could, he also hoped that the Pacific team would still have hope of becoming a regular team.

“Your Majesty the Tsar, Your Majesty the Empress, welcome to the Lushun Military Port!”

Lieutenant General Alekseev said.

Mikhail nodded, he was very emotional about this military port.

At the beginning, the Qing Empire built this military port for the Beiyang sailors to moor.

But I did not 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 Orientals to return the 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 snatched the Goryeo Peninsula with the Orientals.

At that time, the strength of the Eastern Empire was far from being able to compete with the Russian Empire, and it could only hold its nose and admit it.

But it also made the Oriental people hate the Russian 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 artillery.

In particular, the most famous 203 Height, that is, in the war of another time and space, the heights where the Orientals suffered heavy casualties, built a large number of fortifications and coastal defense batteries.

“Your Majesty, after the current Lushun Fortress has been reinforced, the defensive strength has been significantly improved.The entire fortress is equipped with 12 305mm coastal defense guns, 18 280mm coastal defense guns, 36 210mm coastal defense guns, and more than 100 155mm coastal defense guns. In addition, it is equipped with a large number of 105-meter light howitzers and 75-meter field battle packs.

The entire fortress, a large number of machine-gun pillboxes were built, permanent fire points and artillery positions, all connected by trenches. Once attacked, this place will become a whole.

Strong fortifications sufficient to withstand attacks from the sea.

Even an enemy 305-mm naval gun will hardly be able to destroy coastal batteries.

In addition to this, the 7th and 8th brigades of the Imperial Marine Corps, as well as two infantry divisions of the army, garrison brigade Shun Fortress and the surrounding area. If the war does not go well, we can push into the fortress and hold it.

Inside the fortress, a large amount of food, ammunition and other supplies were stored, enough to hold out for more than a year. ”

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

Mikhail nodded, on the whole, the defense of the Lushun Fortress has indeed been greatly strengthened. It is definitely not so easy for the Toyo people to fight here. If you don’t get it, you will be slammed on the head here, and the losses will be heavyOf course, the current fortress still has shortcomings. Then 2.1 is almost all the fortifications of the fortress, almost all of which are deployed on the front, but in the direction of the sea.

Once the Toyo people attack from behind, it will be difficult to resist.

You know, the Toyo people are the best at detouring behind their backs.

So, Mihai, you specifically pointed this out.

“Next, we have to strengthen the construction of the fortifications behind the fortress, build more fortresses, machine gun pillboxes, dark bunkers, pull up barbed wire, deploy minefields, and so on. Once the Toyo people attack from behind the fortress, let them bleed into rivers as well. I hope that after the outbreak of the war, even if this place is besieged by the heavy troops of the Easterners, I 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…
