Chapter 928: Tsarist Russia Goes South
If you don't want to become a colony of another country in a hundred years, you must practice it from now on and work hard for the rise of the Great Chongqing country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the enthusiastic atmosphere of the officials, Xiao Ming was darkly delighted.
The purpose of the meeting was to arrange for the introduction of electricity, but it was also one of his goals to make officials feel that the country was in crisis.
There is no doubt that the "European threat theory" he made in the court this time had a good effect, and the officials were all gearing up and had the urge to compete with the great powers.
Feeling this, Xiao Ming planned to let the newspaper introduce the current world situation after the dispersal of the dynasty, show the true strength of the European powers in front of the people of Dayu, and let the people of Dayu have a clear understanding of the current world, so as to unite people's hearts and improve the efficiency of industrial and commercial development.
After all, on the whole, the war potential of the European countries is very large, and they have also received the defection of the students of the Great Chongqing State, although these students have only some theoretical knowledge on paper.
However, the current level of science and technology in Europe is close to that of the mid-to-late eighteenth century, and if combined with their theories, it may be possible to accelerate the improvement of science and technology.
However, even so, he is not too worried, after all, now that the foundation of Dayu has been laid, even if European science and technology are relatively improved, Dayu country's science and technology will only improve faster.
What's more, as an industrialized populous country, he no longer needs to fear the Western powers, because it is difficult for one industrial power to completely destroy another industrial power, and the competition between countries is just a struggle for spheres of influence and the formulation of world rules.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
As soon as Xiao Ming's words fell, the ministers bowed down and said in unison.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming signaled to Qian Dafu, today's court meeting is over, he has given the overall plan, and now the rest is the implementation of the problem.
After dispersing, Xiao Ming went straight back to the imperial study, and at the same time asked Qian Dafu to call Niu Ben and Luo Quan over.
Before the early dynasty, he learned the news of Tsarist Russia's southward expansion, and Niu Ben in the court was not alarmist, deliberately scaring the officials.
"Now have you figured out the strength of Tsarist Russia in the Kanto region?"
After the two arrived, Xiao Ming pointed to the Kanto on the map and asked.
With the maturity of the military system, the pre-combat reconnaissance is gradually separated from the work of the secret guards, after all, the secret guards have many other things to do.
"It's basically clear, for this we almost sacrificed a team of chasers, if the cavalry captain who led the team was clever, they would have been captured by the Gosat cavalry of Tsarist Russia." Niu Ben frowned, his expression solemn.
Luo Quan added: "At present, there are probably more than 700,000 immigrants from Tsarist Russia to the north of Jianzhou and Siberia, and these more than 700,000 people are scattered in seven important castles, namely Tyumen Castle, Tobolsk Castle, Yakutsk Castle, Okhotsk Fortress, Kamchatka Fort, Yaksa Castle, and Nebuchu Castle, of which Yaksa and Nebuchu are the closest to Jianzhou, and they are also the fortresses with the largest number of troops currently stationed in Tsarist Russia. They prepared the eighth fortress Morgan, which was only a hundred miles away from the state. ”
As Luo Quan spoke, Xiao Ming marked the cities of Tsarist Russia one by one on the map, and the red dots stretched from Kanto to Siberia.
"More than 700,000 people, this is a large number, not to mention that now the natives of Siberia are now attached to Tsarist Russia, and the total number is more than that, and the Golden Horde has also taken refuge in Tsarist Russia, which is even more troublesome." Xiao Ming said that according to the knowledge of scientific and technological spars, there are many indigenous people living in Siberia today, including Oschak, Nenits, Evenki, Yakutia, Kyrgyzstan, Buryatia, Yukakir, Kolyak, Kamchatka and other ethnic groups.
But one by one, these peoples were annexed by Tsarist Russia.
Now that the war in the south is basically over, Niu Ben and Luo Quan have set their sights on the north, and the most important thing is that the train from Qingzhou to Kwantung will be opened to traffic this year, and the transportation of soldiers and supplies will be much easier, so that he can use the army of Kwantung to defeat Tsarist Russia.
"Although there are more than 700,000 people, the Tsarist Russia actually does not have many troops in various castles, even the garrisons of Nebuchu and Yaksa are only about three or four thousand in a city, but relatively speaking, their firearms are much better than those of the Japanese state." Niu Ben continued.
Xiao Ming had a plan in his heart, for him, a battle with Tsarist Russia must be fought.
The reason is very simple, if Siberia is in the hands of the Russians, then the Great Chongqing State will always be in a kind of crisis of being attacked from the back.
However, once the whole of Siberia is owned, then the Great Chongqing State is equivalent to the natural danger of the Arctic Ocean, and the strategic environment will be greatly improved.
"How many troops can be mobilized at the moment?" Xiao Ming asked, since he wanted to fight, there was no need to hesitate, now he had strengthened his will, not to mention that it was extremely tempting to go from the Bering Strait to North America.
"After the war in the south, in order to exterminate the remnants of the thieves and guard against the southwest of Annam, the army stationed 100,000 people in the south, and the remaining 60,000 people returned to their stations, but immediately another 20,000 people went to the Japanese country to station, so that we can flexibly mobilize only 40,000 people." Luo Quan said.
As the chief general of the General Staff, he is very aware of the current deployment of the troops of the Great Chongqing State, although on the whole, the number of the Great Chongqing Army is quite large.
However, the number of troops distributed evenly is still not much, after all, Goryeo and Wa Kingdom, and even the southwest are in a state that is not yet completely stable, and needs to be monitored by the army.
"Forty thousand people, plus the army of the Kanto region, should be enough." Xiao Ming was a little helpless, the huge army was scattered after the Eastern Expedition and the Western War, and this was also a helpless thing, because this was the price paid by colonization.
Of course, he could have brought these armies together, but with the current level of transportation, it would be expensive, so he could only achieve victory at the lowest cost.
"Enough!" Niu Ben said confidently: "Although Tsarist Russia attaches great importance to Kwantung, Kwantung is too far away from Tsarist Russia, but it is very close to us, but they will lose in logistics and transportation." ”
Luo Quan nodded when he heard this, agreeing with Niu Ben's statement.
"In that case, give the Russians who built the city in Morgan a little color, and now it's time to discuss the ownership of the land with the Russians." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.
In contemporary times, he can only recall the humiliation of the land being eaten away little by little in history, but now, he can change it with his own hands.
