"Very good, everyone has such a determination, I am very happy! This battle is a challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity! As long as we can win, China will truly rise. Besides, this battle
We may not necessarily lose. According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, the countries of the Pacific Alliance were preparing to launch a war against the empire in 1900, which is two years later. Then, we do not have to wait until that time to passively respond. We are completely unstoppable.
You can take the initiative!" Wang Yuze said. Anyway, the war is destined to start, and the fool only waits for others to prepare before starting the war. Naturally, he has to fight a time difference and lay the foundation for victory when the other party is caught off guard.
"Your Majesty, the primary enemy of the empire is Japan. According to the information we have obtained, the four warships ordered by Japan abroad will return to China by the end of this year. The two battleships they built by themselves will not be able to do so in the middle of next year.
Well built. Our four "Chinese-class" battleships will also be in service in the second half of the year! If the war begins at the end of this year, it will be very beneficial for the empire!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng. If the war begins in 1900
, by then, China's local fleet will face Japan, which has eight battleships, and the United States, which has more battleships. If the war begins at the end of this year, the Chinese Navy will have an advantage. The power of the 'Chinese-class' battleship is far from old-fashioned.
Battleships can compare. At that time, the Imperial Navy will defeat the Japanese Navy at a small cost. At this time, it is the period of weakness of the US Navy. The US Navy has only six battleships, one "Indiana-class" battleship
, two 'Qishazhi-class' battleships and three 'Illinois-class' battleships. Once the Chinese Navy defeats the Japanese Navy, it will be easier to defeat the US Navy.
"Your Majesty, I agree to take the initiative. As long as the navy can defeat Japan, the Japanese army will not be able to land in North Korea. It can even use the method of siege to trap the Japanese. The Imperial Army only needs to deal with Russia, which is much easier!
"Chi Yun, the Minister of Army, also said.
"Russia? Although the Russian army is poorly equipped, they are not so easy to deal with. In addition, although the Russians only have one million regular army, they can quickly arm millions of people, so they can't be careless!" Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, although the Russians have a lot of troops, if we start war at the end of the year, the Russians' Siberian Railway has not been completed. We only need to be prepared to fight against the Russians in the Lake Baikal area. Now
, The railway from Beijing to Kulun is about to be completed, and we are not inferior to the Russians in terms of logistics supply, and our equipment is much better than that of the Russian army. If we fight here, the final victory will definitely be
Ours. As long as we can block the Russians here, the final victory will definitely be ours. We can even recover the land occupied by the Russians in one fell swoop!" Chief of Staff Xiong Wu also said.
"Okay, the army can first formulate a detailed combat plan. In any case, the victory of the land war must be ensured!" Wang Yuze said. If an accident occurs during the naval battle and the Chinese navy is defeated, it will all rely on the army. Therefore, the army will be the one who has been in trouble.
It has become the last barrier of the empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu and Cai Yun quickly took the order.
"Your Majesty, does the army need to expand? If necessary, the expansion plan can be launched now. Once the war breaks out, we will face millions of Russian teams, and even more. In addition, if we want to completely eliminate Japan,
It will inevitably land in Japan. Japan will inevitably be crazy at that time, and we need more troops!" Minister of Defense Jiang Xingguo also asked.
"The army can be expanded secretly. However, the number should not be too large. First expand twenty divisions! If more troops are needed during wartime, you can temporarily supplement it. The compulsory military service system has been implemented for almost three years, and we have a group of them.
Retired soldiers and reserve soldiers can be used!" Wang Yuze said. Now is the critical moment when China's five-year development plan is in progress. If too much manpower is drawn, it will have an impact on the development of the empire. In addition, the establishment of a compulsory military service system will be established.
, which has already made China have many available soldiers, and it is possible to recruit millions of soldiers within three months after the war begins. This will not affect the war.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Xingguo said.
"In addition, the Ministry of National Defense, General Staff, Army and Navy can all start preparing for war from now on. This war will probably last a long time, and we must be fully prepared. For example, guns and ammunition
And cotton coats for winter and keep warm, etc. The enemy of the army is Russia, and the weather in Siberia is very cold. If you are not prepared, you may be defeated. Didn’t Napoleon, who swept Europe in the past, also suffered a great loss in Russia?
We must not be the second in Napoleon!" Wang Yuze said. He was always a little guilty when he went to war with Russia, because Russia was too tough. First, there was the example of Napoleon and later, there was the example of Hitler, which can be explained.
Russia is not that easy to defeat.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" several military giants replied.
"Zhang Aiqing, what I am most worried about is the navy. Although, we can defeat the Japanese Navy under the preemptive situation, and it is not a problem to deal with the US Navy. But we have to guard against the British Navy's massive invasion. The British Navy and the French Navy,
Even if the Russian Navy formed such a coalition and fought a decisive battle with us, we would face tremendous pressure! This is entirely possible. The rise of the empire has seriously threatened the interests of Britain in Asia. By that time, they must have
We will do our best to eliminate us. Therefore, the Navy is under great pressure!" Wang Yuze said to Zhang Cheng.
"Emperor, the British 'Chinese Fleet' in the Far East has four battleships, all of which are 'monarch-class' battleships. In addition, their Pacific Fleet with Singapore as its home port has two battleships, and two East Indian Fleet in India's East India Fleet.
The East African fleet also has two battleships. If it were just these fleets, we could deal with it. But if Britain dispatched more fleets from the land, we would be able to do so. However, the British fleets on the land,
It is to guard against Germany. As long as German allies are willing to restrain part of the British navy for us, the final victory will definitely be ours. In addition, the shipyards of the Navy can work overtime to build the "Qin-class" battleships to strive to be able to serve next year.
In this way, we will be able to add four more powerful warships and be more confident!" Zhang Cheng said.
Wang Yuze nodded, but it is probably not easy to let Germany restrain the British local navy. First, Germany does not have this strength, and in addition, Germany is willing to do so. Although, the relationship between China and Germany is very
Close, but if China and Britain go to war in the Far East, Germany may be ecstatic. The reason why Germany is willing to help China is to help Germany share the pressure from Britain. Now China is getting stronger and stronger, Germany
I definitely want China and Britain to fight for both sides.
"Your Majesty, we can try to contact Germany. Although Germany must have plans to use us to consume the strength of the UK. However, if we fail, Germany will have to deal with the pressure from Britain alone. The reason why lips are lost and teeth are cold is definitely the Germans.
I understand. As long as their navy moves a little, the main force of the British local fleet will not act rashly. Even if it only restrains most of the British navy's strength, it will have a very high chance of winning for us!" Xiong Wu
It is also said that the British local fleet is mainly composed of the Atlantic Fleet and the Cape Fleet, and the Mediterranean Fleet, which constitutes the three most powerful fleets in Britain. It is also the main force of Britain's fight against Germany. If the German high seas fleet changes,
Britain certainly dare not send too many warships to the Far East, which is an opportunity for China.
"We personally wrote to the Emperor of Germany, hoping that he can tell the difference!" Wang Yuze said.
"The cabinet must also cooperate fully in preparing for the war. The Ministry of Finance needs to raise at least 500 million yuan or even more war funds. If the war can be ended within half a year, the military expenditure we will spend will reach 500 million yuan.
If it is more than one year, the military expenditure will be consumed! Therefore, we must prepare in advance!" Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance does not have that much money. With the 80 million pounds of war reparations received from the United States last year, the Ministry of Finance can raise a total of 700 million yuan. If the war lasts more than half a year, we have to find another way.
Now!" said the Minister of Finance Wang Wenhua.
"Your Majesty, 700 million yuan is enough for the early stage of the war. If it is not enough, find a way! At that time, we can raise military expenses by selling war bonds. I believe that the people will definitely support us. In addition, as long as we do, we can
If you can win this war, you will receive huge war reparations and benefits, which will be enough to repay these war public debts!" Cabinet Prime Minister Yang Hua suggested.
Public debt is already very common in Western countries, but it has not been implemented in China. In the eyes of the people of the country, what can we do if the country has no money? But Wang Yuze believes that once the war begins, the people of the country will still
We will try our best to support the empire. After all, if the empire becomes stronger, our lives will get better and better. If the empire is defeated, we may have to live such a dire and strait again.
"Okay, then that's it! Today's court meeting ends here. Let's go back and prepare!" Wang Yuze said. After this court meeting, China's war machine has begun to slowly start to operate.
