On behalf of the General Staff of the Imperial Armed Forces, he proposed a strategic direction.

Naturally, the motion did not just say that "it intends to attack India," but it did not give a thorough explanation to the representatives of the allies present, but only pointed out to the younger brothers the firm and unchanging general strategic direction for the future and the obligations that should be shared by the younger brothers.

In addition, the Empire's separate operations in Siberia and Central Asia usually did not need to be explained in detail to the allies, and the relevant content was theoretically revised after the headquarters meeting, or submitted to the headquarters and government joint meeting for in-depth discussion, or directly invited to the emperor's holy decision, but in practice, any major strategic changes would be decided in advance by the group meeting, and then the procedure would slip through the motions.

Today's meeting is naturally centered on the Indian Ocean Raiders.

Before arranging the forces of the raiders, the existing forces of the allies were first liquidated:

Boss China, 117 infantry divisions and 57 armored / cavalry brigades.

The details are as follows:

The strength of the base camp reserve includes:

The 1st Praetorian Army (1, 2. 1st Cavalry Brigade) and Praetorian Guard (34th Division, 2nd Cavalry); the 12th Army (Infantry 23, 24) withdrawn by the Northeast Front; After completing the rearmament and resting, the 62 Brigade will return to the Russian battlefield as an important mobile strike force.

Due to excessive attrition, the 2nd Armored Brigade (equipped with the 46th and 7th Brigades), which was transferred back from the Mongolian Front for recuperation, is being fully replaced with new equipment suitable for amphibious operations.

The 4th Cavalry (26th, 27th, 30th Cavalry Brigades), which was transferred back from the Northeast Front, was intended to be converted into an armored cavalry brigade suitable for operations in the desert Gobi.

The 1st Marine Army (1st Marine Division, 2nd Marine Division, 1st and 2nd Marine Armored Brigades, and Marine Fighter Amphibious Strike Group), which was originally part of the East China Sea Front and returned to the mainland after completing the Hawaiian operation, was put into the direction where it was most needed in a timely manner.

Units that have not yet joined the battle after completing mobilization are:

26th Army (51st and 52nd Advance Rifles); 30th (5560th Pre-Infantry Division); 53rd, 54th, 56th-65th Reserve Infantry, 152153, 155th-158th Reserve Light Infantry, 22 in total.

After the army was fully mobilized, there were 18 divisions and 4 reserve mixed brigades and cavalry wings, with a total of 450,000 troops.

Its division was formed as the Imperial 1912 Heavy Infantry Division. Less, the whole division has a strength of about 2 people, equipped with 36 artillery pieces and 180 light and heavy machine guns.

More than 80 percent of the army's weapons and ammunition are self-sufficient.

There are about 2 people in each division. 36 artillery pieces and 120 light and heavy machine guns, ~ captured from the Russian ground guns in the struggle. Only one-third of the weapons and ammunition are self-sufficient.

Thereinto:

Standing Army - 4th Standing Infantry Division (Janissaries, 1st, 23rd, 3rd Separate Infantry Regiments (101st, 102nd,

Reserve Army (Rack Force) - 6 Reserve Infantry Divisions and 1 Reserve Brigade, with several troops totaling 150,000 men.

The 5th Division and 2 regiments of the Old Fourth Siamese Army, and the 5th Vietnamese Complex **3 Division.

The five countries have a total of 153 divisions, 57 armored/cavalry brigades, 5 reserve brigades, 5 separate infantry regiments and 3 separate cavalry wings. The Japanese Navy each has one marine brigade directly under it, and the total strength of the above field troops exceeds 300 people.

At the beginning of the war, the Imperial Army Air Corps had 100 squadrons, more than 1,100 aircraft, and 40 airships, and by this time 40 squadrons had been incorporated into the Southern Front and the Southwestern Front. It is planned that after the beginning of spring, more than 50 squadrons will be integrated into the various armies that are directly fighting against Russia.

The estimate of the enemy's strength is as follows:

On the Russian side - the total strength of the Russian army is 110 divisions, and the current strength of the Russian army is no more than 20 divisions, given that Germany and Austria have resolutely launched a spring offensive. It is unlikely that the Russian army will increase its forces to the east in the near future. In total, the Russian aviation has 30 squadrons of 300 aircraft, and about 5 squadrons can be used in the Eastern theater.

In the southwest, 1 division and 5 battalions of the British and Indian Army in Burma are the backbone, and it is possible to receive reinforcements from the Indian side during about 20,000 years. 3 aircraft squadron 30 units.

In the south, there are 70,000 British, Indian, and Australian troops in Malaya, 3,500 in British Borneo, and about 70,000 in Dutch East Indies, including the indigenous army, and it is unlikely that there will be changes in the near future. It is estimated that the enemy in Malaya has 150 aircraft, and the enemy in Borneo has 1 squadron.
