The Rise of the Empire

"So what are you going to do in this war? It won't be just watching, right?" Princess Mary asked. \u003c/p\u003e"I said, we want to be an effective onlooker. Isn't our fundamental purpose to make this war last longer and more tragic? The Japanese have the British to provide Arms and funds, if not enough, there may be the French. And the Russians, we are the bulk of the arms supply, since I have judged that the Japanese will start the war by the end of 1903, then our arms to the Russians It must also be provided at this point in time! The Russians can't think of it, but as a qualified supplier, we must consider our customers, don't we?" The prince said with a smile. "I will also disclose some news to the Russians, so that they will step up their deployment in the Far East. At least send troops there first. I will even give them some advice."\u003c/p\u003e "You have always said that Tirpitz will send Yingde Into the Russo-Japanese War, in fact, you are deeper than him." Princess Mary said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e"But before that, I have to sum up with the former Russian general. After all, he came out of the Russian army, and he knows the situation in Russia better than us."\u003c/p\u003e"Are you sure To communicate with that Russian general who is not suitable for his beautiful niece?" Princess Mary's words made **** very embarrassed.... \u003c/p\u003e"I'll get down to business." **** said with a straight face and feigned displeasure. \u003c/p\u003e"I'm also talking about business." Princess Mary said jokingly. \u003c/p\u003e"Let's change the subject..." The prince was completely depressed. "I think it would be better for you to communicate with that countess."\u003c/p\u003e What should be done must be done. Three days later, countess Ajielina accompanied his uncle, the former Russian lieutenant general Kale Lieutenant General Niah once again came to the palace of Bavaria. And this time, in addition to Earl Schelling, Major General Caliput, who had just returned from Bull, greeted him. Well, this guy who fought against the British in South Africa for several years is finally back. The reason is very simple. South Africa can no longer fight. Surrounded by an iron wall of 350,000 British troops, there is no room for sophisticated tactics. The mass resistance of the Boers was drawing to a close, and it was of little use for him to remain there. \u003c/p\u003eSame as the previous meeting, the countess was received by the princess, while **** Ruprecht, Prince Leopold, Caliput and Lieutenant General Karenia were in charge of deducing the Russian-Japanese war. The battle between the two sides in the Far East. \u003c/p\u003e"From the current situation, the deployment of Russia's mobile corps in the Far East is mainly divided into three parts, which constitute two major corps. The first part is the first independent corps deployed in Liaoyang and Haicheng. It consists of three Siberian armies and some subsidiary troops, about 60 infantry battalions, 48 ​​cavalry companies and more than 200 artillery. The second part is the troops deployed in the South Ussuri area. Their strength is no more than one division. The main It is a security mission. The third part is deployed in the Harbin area. It consists of 146 infantry battalions and 36 cavalry regiments. They have more than 500 various artillery pieces. (A division has about 12 infantry battalions)"\u003c/p\u003e" In addition to these mobile troops, the Middle East Railway also has 20,000 Russian road guard troops. In the Lushun and Jinzhou areas, one has 2 divisions and 1 main regiment, with about 40,000 people. If the Russian fleet is stationed in the future, there may be more There will be 15,000 Russian naval officers and soldiers."\u003c/p\u003e"The main force of Japan is concentrated on the front line of North Korea. They should now have a total of 5 armies and several independent brigades. Each army has 3 divisions. Japan has one There are about 20,000 divisions. They now have about 17 first-line divisions (13 in history) and 8 reserve divisions (7.5 in history). From the perspective of military strength,

Almost on par with Russia. However, their starting positions should be North Korea and the mainland. "Caliput briefly introduced the initial situation of the two sides.\u003c/p\u003e"Japan is an island country, and they want to transport troops there. How to calculate the obstruction of the Russian Far East Fleet to the transportation? Lieutenant General Kalenia asked.\u003c/p\u003e "Don't consider the issue of sea control, let's just pretend that the Japanese troop transport route is unimpeded. "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e "If there is no accident, the main battlefield of the war will be on the front line of Fengtian. In fact, if I were the Russian Minister of War, I would retreat to the front line of Changchun. "As for the deployment of the Russians, Prince Leopold said disapprovingly.\u003c/p\u003eIn the battlefields of Western Europe, the size of each country is very small, and Austria-Hungary and Prussia together are about the same size as the Northeast. Naturally, it is impossible to fight this kind of war Great in-depth battle. Moreover, the cities of European countries are important production bases of armaments and materials, so naturally they cannot be discarded at will, but it is different in the Far East. It doesn't make much sense.\u003c/p\u003ePrince Leopold can understand that if the Japanese army can move freely at sea according to the ****'s setting, it means that the Japanese navy has command of the sea, and for As far as Japan has command of the sea, it is basically invincible. If this is the case, the best way for the Russian army is to retreat back, lengthen the Japanese supply line, and expand the battlefield from Liaoning to Jilin. The opponent's supply line is long. Yes, the density of troops has come down, and the depth of defense needs to increase, so there will naturally be loopholes. Japan is an effect. He cannot afford a large loss of personnel and equipment. He trades space for the opportunity to wipe out the enemy and kills a large number of Japanese troops. It’s kingly way.\u003c/p\u003e But it’s a pity that the Russians are obviously ready to fight a deadly war. They pushed the front line to Liaoyang and Fengtian (today’s Shenyang). Most of them will come down from the Trans-Siberian Railway and then To Harbin, and then along the Middle East Road to Fengtian, the distance is more than 600 kilometers. It has greatly lengthened its own supply line. Japan can transport by sea, counting Russia’s transport of troops and ammunition from Western Europe to the Far East The cost, as well as the cost of Japan transporting materials and troops from the mainland to Liaoyang, the time and loss required by the two sides are completely out of proportion!\u003c/p\u003e Moreover, the battle hell between the two sides is too small, the troop density is too high, and the Russian cavalry advantage is difficult When played out, the two sides are almost head-to-head fighting, the exchange of ammunition and personnel consumption. It is unrealistic for the Russians to push the Japanese back, and the Japanese want to drive the Russians away, and then there are difficulties in advancing north. Both sides I lost the opportunity to move and annihilate the opponent, so it doesn't make much sense to the prince.\u003c/p\u003e "I agree with the prince, the front line is indeed too far north, and the supply of ammunition may be very difficult. It is said that the front line in Liaoyang The army artillery has only 150 rounds of ammunition. Can this amount of ammunition be used for two days? "Lieutenant General Kalenia said. (In history, during the Russian Battle of Liaoyang, the Fourth Army's artillery ammunition averaged less than 200 rounds. The Russians had an advantage in the number of artillery, but they had too little ammunition!)\u003c/p \u003eThanks to book friends The First Guards Tank Brigade, Slowly Youk, Wan Jianxin, I am not a little wolf, Hai Youbian, Fat Cow King and other book friends\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
