The day after arriving in Yanjing, Marshal Tukhachevsky, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Empire, went to the General Staff of the Chinese Empire to meet with Marshal Jiang Baili, Chief of the General Staff, and Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng, Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Minister of Operations, to discuss the obligations of the Russian Empire* army in the future war, as well as the relevant goals of the Russian Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, hello." In front of Marshal Jiang Baili, Marshal Tukhachevsky's posture was very low. Originally, he was a marshal of the Red Army of Soviet Russia. However, after the defeat, in order to evade responsibility, he finally surrendered.

It was only after becoming Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Empire that Marshal Tukhachevsky decided that his choice was incomparably correct. In his view, the equipment and training of the Soviet Russian Red Army are far from being comparable with those of the Chinese Army, and its combat effectiveness is even more incomparable. Even the equipment and training of the Russian Imperial Army was superior to that of the Soviet Russian Red Army. If it weren't for the absolute superiority of the Russian Red Army in terms of troops, Marshal Tukhachevsky even believed that the strength of the Russian Imperial Army alone would have defeated the Russian Red Army and restored the Russian Empire.

Of course, judging from the current situation, it is necessary to rely on the help of the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, the millions of Soviet Russian Red Army would really not be able to cope. Marshal Tukhachevsky was full of confidence in the future war, and in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese* army was completely superior to that of the Russian Imperial Army. Once war broke out, Soviet Russia would definitely not be an opponent of the Chinese Empire. The Russian Empire was on the side of the victors. Therefore, if they want to restore the country, there is no problem at all.

"Your Excellency Marshal Tukhachevsky, please be seated." Marshal Jiang Baili nodded.

"This is General Bai Jiansheng, the new deputy chief of the general staff and chief of operations of the empire." Marshal Jiang Baili introduced Marshal Tukhachevsky.

"Your Excellency, General, hello." Marshal Tukhachevsky said. Bai Jiansheng was about the same age as him, although his military rank was not as high as his. However, the deputy chief of general staff and chief of operations of the Chinese* army, who can become a strong army, actually does not have the slightest ability.

"Hello, Your Excellency Marshal." Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng greeted with a smile.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, war is about to break out, and the Russian Imperial Army is making pre-war preparations. We plan to expand the total strength of the army from the current 1 million to 2 million and form 12 army groups. to deal with future wars. However, we hope to get help from the Chinese Empire, and in terms of weapons, we have a big gap. Marshal Tukhachevsky said.

Marshal Jiang Baili nodded: "There is no problem with this, I will contact the Equipment Department and ask them to provide you with a batch of weapons and equipment to ensure the expansion of your army." ”

The current Russian Empire can be described as very poor. Because there was no decent industry, and there was no money-making industry, they needed the support of the Chinese Empire to survive. The Russian Army wants to expand its army, and the Chinese Empire supports it. After all, in this way, the Chinese* soldiers will be able to bear fewer casualties. With the hatred of the Russian Empire and Soviet Russia, once the two sides go to the battlefield, they will inevitably fight to the death.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff. Your Excellency, once war breaks out, how long does the Chinese Empire plan to defeat Soviet Russia? The armies of the Russian Empire will be completely under the command of the Chinese Empire. Marshal Tukhachevsky said. This is what all the generals of the Russian Empire wanted to know. They have waited too long to destroy Soviet Russia and rebuild the Russian Empire.

"General Bai, tell Your Excellency the Marshal of our plan." Marshal Jiang Baili said.

"Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng nodded.

"Your Excellency Marshal, in this war, the Empire has formed the Western Front Command, and the Western Front Command will be responsible for the operations in Europe. General Zhang Yunnong will be the commander of the Western Front Command. At the Western Front Command, the Reich was to commit ten army groups, including two armored armies. The Air Force will also send thousands of aircraft to support it. Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng said.

Tukhachevsky frowned: "Ten group armies, just over 1.6 million people?" Even with the addition of the two million troops of the Russian Empire, there are only more than 3.6 million people? ”

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, the strength seems to be a little weak! Although Soviet Russia only has a standing army of three million, according to the information we have received, they are already beginning to expand their army and prepare for war. In addition, the Americans are also providing a large amount of resources to Soviet Russia, so that the expansion of Soviet Russia has not been affected in any way. With the mobilization system of Soviet Russia, they could have mobilized tens of millions of troops to participate in the war. If this is the case, our army will be too weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Soviet Russia. Marshal Tukhachevsky said.

"Your Excellency, this is only our preliminary plan. General Bai, tell Your Excellency the Marshal the specific plan. Jiang Baili smiled and did not say much about Marshal Tukhachevsky's questioning.

"Your Excellency, look, this is the map of the defense of the Western Front of the Empire* army. We plan to build ten lines of defense on the border with Soviet Russia. Each line of defense is composed of anti-tank trenches, trenches, barbed wire, minefields, pillboxes, and artillery positions. Ten lines of defense can form a defensive position with a width of hundreds of kilometers. We would love to know how many troops the Russian Red Army would lose if it tried to break through our defenses. A million, or two million, or even more. Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng said with a smile.

Marshal Tukhachevsky looked at the defensive map of the line of defense, and his face was full of surprise. His military attainments were very high, otherwise he would not have been appreciated by Ulyanov, and he became a high-level member of the Soviet Russian Red Army at a young age. He knew very well that with the terrible combat power of the Chinese* army and the ten solid defense lines as the basis, it would really be very difficult for the Soviet Russian Red Army to break through the defense line. Even, the Soviet Russian Red Army will hit its head and bleed in front of the defense line of the Chinese * army.

In addition, Tukhachevsky also saw a problem, that is, on the defense line of the Chinese* army, some of the defense areas seem to be particularly fortified, and there are many defending troops. The flanks of these defensive positions are much weaker.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, why are there so many loopholes deliberately left on these positions?" Marshal Tukhachevsky asked.

"Haha. Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to notice this as well. That's right, those holes were deliberately left behind. Once the Russian Red Army launched an offensive on all fronts, then, on some defensive lines, they would pay heavy casualties and could not move forward. However, in other lines, they were able to easily tear through our defenses and break into the back lines. In this case, the battlefield situation will become like this. "Marshal Jiang Baili drew a few strokes on the defense map with a pencil.

Marshal Tukhachevsky's face suddenly became wonderful.

"Your Excellency Marshal, you want to encircle and annihilate the Russian Red Army." Marshal Tukhachevsky said.

"That's right, the reason why we have gone to great lengths to build these defenses on the border is to get the Russian Red Army to take the initiative to attack, and then let them obediently fall into our trap. In the entire western defense line, there are as many as a dozen such pocket formations. If half of the pocket formations can succeed, then at least more than 1.5 million troops of the Russian Red Army will fall into our encirclement. As long as this part of the Soviet Russian Red Army can be encircled and annihilated, then the Soviet Russian Red Army will not be worried. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

"It's crazy. However, from what I know about the Russian Red Army, it is very likely that they will fall into the trap. Tukhachevsky said.

"Haha, since the marshals have said so, it seems that the success of our plan is indeed very high." Marshal Jiang Baili said with a smile.

"Then, Your Excellency Marshal, if the Russian Red Army falls into the trap, they will lose most of their elite troops. When the time comes, we can attack directly and destroy them. Marshal Tukhachevsky said.

However, after saying that, he found that Marshal Jiang Baili and Lieutenant General Bai Jiansheng did not echo him. He suddenly understood that there seemed to be some variables.

"Your Excellency Marshal, after we have defeated the main force of the Soviet Russian Red Army this time, we will not advance to the west." Marshal Jiang Baili said.

"Why?" Tukhachevsky was a little puzzled. What a great opportunity! If this opportunity is missed, it will be even more difficult to defeat the Red Army when it recovers its strength.

"Your Excellency, after the outbreak of war, the Empire will first fight the United States with all its might. So, there won't be much to invest on the Western Front. In addition, we need to leave a buffer between us and Germany. In other words, we want the Germans to fight the Russians as well. It is not just us who will deal with Soviet Russia. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

Marshal Tukhachevsky was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

"Well, Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, I see." Tukhachevsky said. He knew that this war would not be so simple.

"But, Marshal, I can tell you with certainty. In this war, Soviet Russia will definitely be destroyed. Moreover, the Empire will support the restoration of the Russian Empire on the Eastern European Plain. No one can change this. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

"Well, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, I have never doubted this." Marshal Tukhachevsky nodded. He was also able to understand that the Chinese Empire would use such tactics. After all, the Chinese Empire's first consideration was their national interests. (To be continued.) )
