Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 125: A Battle of Betting on the National Fortune!!

As the Tianhuang of the Eastern Empire and the top level of the cabinet and military, Ming Zhi Tianhuang and these ministers and generals are very clear that the rise of the Eastern Empire cannot be separated from the strong support of the people who never set.

It can be said that when they were able to defeat the Great Qing Empire, they received great support from the Sun Never Sets Empire.

Otherwise, they would not have had the money to buy so many warships and expand so many armies.

Fortunately, they defeated the Qing Empire, violently blackmailed the Qing Empire, and obtained a large amount of wealth.

After this, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets also supported them as always, continuing to sell them various advanced warships, providing them with loans, and so on.

He also encouraged the Eastern Empire to throw all the family members of Beiyang into the Guang Armament War.

Why did the sun never set do this, the top level of the Eastern Ocean Empire is also very clear, don’t they want to train them into thugs, or lackeys?

It is already well known that the sun never sets and the people are chasing and blocking the Russian Empire all over the world.

It’s just that the Russian Empire was not a weak country, but a world-class power.

Therefore, even if the sun does not set, even if it is the hegemon of the world, it does not want to easily start a war with such a powerful country.

This made them more to win over other countries and let other countries fight against the Tsarist Empire, so as to block the expansion of the Tsarist Empire and hinder the rise of the Tsarist Empire.

Unfortunately, the Eastern Empire is a pawn chosen by the Empire of the Never Sets.

Or rather, let them go and stop the cannon fodder from the rise of the Russian Empire.

In the face of the request of the sun never sets, the Eastern Ocean Empire simply cannot refuse.

Otherwise, not only will they not be able to get support from the Sunless Empire, but they will also become enemies of the Sunset Empire.

Therefore, they have no choice but to obey the arrangement of the sun never sets.

But at the same time, the Oriental people are also very unwilling, and they want to abandon the fate of the literature.

The only way is to make them strong.

Defeating the Russian Empire and becoming a true world power was only the first step.

In this way, they are entitled to bargain with others and to control their own destiny.

Therefore, Ming Zhitianhuang hoped that they could defeat the Russian Empire in the war. Or rather, they absolutely can’t afford to lose.

Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

In other words, the entire Oriental Empire pig will fall into a catastrophe.

“Your Majesty, the Russian Empire is indeed very strong, and the overall strength is stronger than ours. However, their center of gravity has always been in Europe, thousands of miles away. Their main armies, the vast majority of the population, and almost all of their industry, were also located in Europe. The army of the Russian Empire in the Far East was not many, only more than 200,000. Their Pacific Fleet, the strength is not weak. However, that’s about it. I believe that the current Imperial Navy is fully capable of defeating them.

Judging from the comparison of strength between our sides, it is indeed very difficult for us to completely defeat the Russian Empire.

However, if the war is limited to the Far East and defeated, there should not be much problem. ”

Lieutenant General Masaki Terauchi, Minister of the Army, said.

“Yes, Your Majesty, the Imperial Army can definitely defeat the army deployed by the Russian Empire in the Far East!”

Army Chief of Staff Senior General Yama Iwa also looked confident.

“The hinterland of the Russian Empire was very far from the Far East. But don’t forget, their Trans-Siberian Railway has already been built and opened to traffic. In the event of war, their troops would be transported to the Far East via the Trans-Siberian Railway. Will we still be able to defeat them then? ”

Minister of Finance Zen Takashi reminded.

“Russian reinforcements arrived in the Far East from European states, after all, it took time. At the same time, although the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, there was still a disadvantage. That is, the capacity of the railway is very limited. According to our calculations, it can only support hundreds of thousands of troops at most. If we can seize the time and hit the Russians hard in the early stages of the war. Well, we will win this battle. Even if the Russians continue to send reinforcements, it is just a tactic to add fuel, there is nothing to worry about! ”

General Dashan Yan released his head.

Ming Zhi Tianhuang nodded repeatedly when he listened, and his eyes lit up.

“Yo West! If the Imperial Army can defeat the Russians, then we can seize the Kanto State and the northern part of the Koryo Peninsula occupied by the Russians… It was even possible to occupy the entire Manchurian region of Zhina. ”

At that time, the empire will gain a lot of resources and wealth, and the empire will greatly increase its strength!

“Mingzhi Tianhuang is salivating over all this!”

“The Russians are not so easy to deal with. If the Imperial Army wants to defeat them, it must also do its best. Therefore, the army needs more military spending to prepare for the war of occupation. ”

Army Minister Lieutenant General Masaki Terauchi made the request.

Minister of Finance Tseng Tachibana Asuke’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Over the years, the military investment of the Eastern Empire has been high enough, and the finances of the entire Eastern Empire are operating at a high level. The war reparations obtained from the Qing Empire have long been spent. And the Eastern Empire’s own financial revenue is not high.

Last year, the revenue of the entire Eastern Empire was only 357 million yen, equivalent to 35.7 million pounds.

It seems like a lot, but if compared with other European powers, it is not half a star.

Especially compared with the Russian Empire, under Mikhail, the Russian Empire was more powerful and the economy developed greatly.

Last year, the financial revenue of the Russian Empire was already as high as more than two billion rubles, equivalent to 250,000 pounds.

You know, the current financial revenue of the empire is only 150 million pounds.

But if you include the income that the Empire received from the vast overseas colonies, then this amount would have to be more than doubled.

In comparison, the Eastern Empire naturally seemed much poorer.

“Gentlemen, we have no other choice. Next, we will bet on the national fortune. Therefore, we must prepare for the war with all our might. From tomorrow, I will only eat one meal a day, and the rest of the money will be handed over to the army to prepare for war. In this battle, our gate must win! ”

Ming Zhi Tianhuang said to everyone.

Obviously, in order to defeat the Russian Empire, Mingzhi Tianhuang once again set an example, of course, although he only ate one meal a day, he would not go hungry.

No one stipulates that His Majesty Tianhuang can’t eat snacks and supper outside of the main meal…
