0952 Minister of War

Xuan Jianzhang said with a smile: "Alas, this hurts and angers, I think at the beginning, our Chinese army only had one regiment, didn't everyone send the old regiment out?" So, you all came out of the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, the 1st Field Division of the Chinese Army, this is a common honor for everyone! ”

Luo Guozhong laughed: "It's still a good Jianzhang, he can fight, he can speak, and he can say that he is alive." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Lao Luo, are you praising me? Or are you scolding me? Xuan Jianzhang laughed.

Everyone laughed heartily, although the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties, but everyone was a soldier mixed with blood and fire, this time the old Maozi was consumed one to two, and everyone still felt that it was worth it.

The Chinese army cleaned up the battlefield, the various units entered the barracks, and quickly rebuilt the dilapidated city of Turukhansk, which had completely become a military zone, and almost all of the more than 30,000 Tsarist Russian civilians who were implicated died unexpectedly, and only a few remained.

After the Chinese army gathered its troops, there were more than 14,000 people left in the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army and more than 11,000 people left in the Third Field Division of the Chinese Army.

The next step is to declare meritorious soldiers, and then to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers, rest the troops, and transfer troops from the rear to replenish the lost soldiers.

In the wartime, it would be very difficult to replenish the troops on a large scale for a while and a half, but fortunately, President Meng had gathered the establishment of 26 main divisions before, and now he hurriedly transferred troops from the Beijing Military Region to the north.

In addition to the five divisions that went to Mongolia to assist in the construction of the Mongolian longitudinal railway line, the five divisions that went to the northeast to help rebuild, and the five divisions that helped build the northeast railway network and the railway line from Vladivostok to Irkutsk, there are now less than 10 divisions remaining in the Beijing Military Region.

Why?

Because there are still several divisions building a railway to the northwest together with the Huai army and the Chu army.

The task of building China is too heavy, but human resources are easier to handle, because China, which is not beaten, does not lack manpower.

The key is money, so many big projects started at the same time, the treasury can no longer support it, and it is impossible to allocate more money to Siberia, which requires Siberia to hurry up and become self-sufficient, at least, in terms of food, in terms of building materials, in terms of economy, it can do not rely on China!

As a newly acquired large area of occupation, the pressure on the Chinese government is very great.

Irkutsk is rich in natural resources. The land of the state is concentrated with huge reserves of gold and hydrocarbon raw materials, rare metals (niobium, tantalum, lithium, rubidium), 47 precious and colored decorative stones (lazuli, charalite, etc.), edible salt and potash, iron, manganese, titanium, mineral building materials (magnesite, dolomite, etc.).

Mineral resources: It can develop and survey coal mines, gemstones and potash, hydrocarbon raw materials, refractory soil, and broad-spectrum raw materials, iron ore, and mineral fertilizers for the production of building materials. In the geological fold zone of the Irkutsk region, there are high-quality gold mines of the Lena River, mica-bearing mines in Mamsko-Chuysk, mines of rare metals in Eastern Sayansk, as well as various mining and mineral-chemical raw materials, in which talc, cement, limestone, veneer stones, precious stones, non-mineral raw materials for metallurgy and other raw materials are available.

A dozen guards followed, and Tsarist War Minister Dimitrimiryukin walked briskly towards the palace of Tsar Alexander II.

War Minister Dimitrimiryukin had already received a battle report from the front, although Dimitri Kombarov made more embellishments, but Dimitri Miryukin still found a problem, he was very angry and afraid, he did not expect the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army to be so strong.

Tsar Alexander II tore apart the war report handed over by the Minister of War Dimitrimiryukin at once, and roared angrily: "This waste, Dimitri Kombarov is a waste!" ”

War Minister Dimitrimiryukin originally wanted to complain, but now that the tsar is angry, he doesn't know what to say, not to mention anything else, nearly 40,000 troops died at once, together with the entire Siberian Army lost before, a total of nearly 80,000 people, and the total number of Russian troops is only 500,000 people, which is equivalent to removing nearly one-seventh of them at once, which is a very terrible number, not to mention anything else, just these 80,000 people, how much food do you have to feed?

No matter how strong the national strength is, it can't withstand such attrition, not to mention that Tsarist Russia was still the leader of serfdom at this time, and the government's finances were so weak that it was home!

Tsar Alexander II was furious, but the anger could not solve the problem after all, "Now, it is not possible to remove Dimitry Kumbarov, in that case, the impact on the morale of the army and the people will be even greater!" I had a secret order to let him go up and fight a decisive battle in the Chinese army, so as to reduce the pressure of long-distance transportation of supplies, I wanted to use continuous conscription to go to the front line to drag down the Chinese army, so that China could see the spirit of our Russian warriors who are not afraid of death! ”

War Minister Dimitrimiryukin nodded, "Your Majesty's opinion, I think it is extremely correct, it is Dimitry Konbarov who went wrong when he executed, the battle is not fought like this, even if it is necessary to rely on the number of people to consume the strength of the Chinese army, it is not such a way of fighting!" Now that the Chinese state and the Chinese army have completely gained a firm foothold on the west bank of the Yenisei River, and we have lost two-thirds of Siberia, it now seems that if we want to defeat the Chinese army from the frontal battlefield, we cannot do it, we must mobilize all forces in all directions, and strengthen the work of the intelligence department and the logistics department. ”

Tsar Alexander II nodded, "That's right, Siberia is ours, it is the western gate of Russia, everything that happens there is closely related to the fate of the empire, we can't give up Siberia, in this way, the ancestors will not forgive me, we have to pay attention to everything that happens in Siberia!" ”

Tsar Alexander II had a very majestic beard and a look full of fortitude, and as a capable emperor, he was great in the history of Tsarist Russia, almost comparable to Tang Taizong of Huaguo!

War Minister Dimitrimiryukin looked at the Tsar, did not interrupt the Tsar, and continued to listen to him.

"Okay, you go and arrange it, in terms of money, I will find a way, how do you think you can defeat Huaguo, you can arrange it, remember, I have never thought of compromise, and we can't compromise with Huaguo, not to mention that they want to cut off our entire Siberia, even if they don't make such an impudent demand, we won't compromise with them, because in that case, the whole of Europe, the whole world will see our joke!" Tsar Alexander II stood up, paced back and forth, looked out the window at the beautiful Russian complex, and hatred was monstrous! He wants to save the glory of Russia!

"So, Your Majesty, about the arrangements of Marshal Dimitry Konbarov?" War Minister Dimitrimiryukin asked.

Tsar Alexander II sighed, "Let's keep it for now, replace Dimitry Kumbarov now, it's not time, it will make the common people think that we have a big problem, and the dead are not terrible, but we are afraid of national distrust!" ”

"Got it! Your Majesty. War Minister Dimitrimiryukin said and withdrew, he also knew that Alexander II did not want to take out Dimitri Kombarov, because Dimitri Kombarov was a close confidant of Alexander II, but such nepotism disappointed War Minister Dimitrimiryukin.

As the second-strongest United States, the war that originally took place in the Far East had little to do with them, and moreover, during this period, a popular national defense program in the United States was conservatism, and the consensus of all people was: The main goal is to build the country's own economy, stop developing armaments, and be able to protect itself!

Therefore, the Americans, in fact, are not able to come up with an army for foreign wars at all, even if it is a small army, and unless it takes place on the American continent, they may be involved in a local war on a small scale.

However, the current situation is that Alaska is on the edge of Siberia, just across the Bering Strait, and China may extend its giant hand of expansion to Alaska at any time, which has to make the Americans panic!

"We have just reached a mutual aid alliance partnership with China, and besides, they are a country with a traditional civilization, and they will not break their promises and suddenly start a war against us, right?" It was Mr. Grant, the president of the United States, who was having a hard time, both domestic and foreign, under fire, and, as he was about to leave office, he was actively seeking a chance for re-election.
