    "The enemies in the southern battlefield are relatively weak. It is enough to invest more than 100,000 and 200,000 troops! The key to fighting in Nanyang is logistics guarantee! If there is a problem with logistics, it will be more troublesome. When formulating a battle plan, special considerations need to be taken  This!" Wang Yuze reminded.  In the Nanyang region, coastal areas are relatively easy to deal with. Relying on sea transportation can ensure the supply of troops.  However, the areas bordering Indochina and China are almost all deep mountains and old forests, and the transportation facilities are very backward, making it inconvenient for troops to supply.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! For the troops attacking Myanmar, we have specially deployed logistics personnel to maintain supplies. And we have adopted the method of establishing military depots to gradually advance to ensure that there will be no problems with the supply lines!" Xiong Wu said.

    "So, what about Hong Kong and Singapore? When will they be taken back?" Wang Yuze asked.  In order to ease the relationship between China and Western powers, China did not propose to take back Hong Kong and Macau.  Through this war, these lost territories must be conquered.  As for Macau occupied by the Portuguese.  Although China has not declared war with Portugal, China has not taken the small Portugal seriously.  After conquering Hong Kong, you can just conquer Macau as well.  As for Singapore, it is a strategic location, guarding the Strait of Malacca and an important part of the British colonial system.  By capturing Singapore, even if the British Far East Fleet attacks, it will lose its anchorage and supply base, which will help the Chinese navy defeat the British navy coming from afar.

    "After the war begins, the 53rd Division of the South China Military Region will launch an attack on Hong Kong. Now, the British only have one regiment of marines in Hong Kong. They have lost the British navy. They can defend it if they can.  Those who don¡¯t live in Hong Kong,¡± Xiong Wu said.

    Wang Yuze nodded and said: "In the process of recovering Hong Kong, it is best to force the British to surrender. The British have already made Hong Kong more prosperous, and there is no need for us to destroy Hong Kong!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu, Cai Yun and others all agreed.

    "So, in addition to the southern battlefield, when will the northern battlefield start? The main force in the southern battlefield is the navy, and the main force in the northern battlefield is the army. Now, are the troops ready?" Wang Yuze asked.  Now it seems that there will be basically no problems in the battle on the southern battlefield. Before the British Navy expedition to China, Wang Yuze's attention will be on the northern battlefield.  The northern battlefield is vast and has the largest number of troops participating in the war. There is no room for mistakes, otherwise it will pose a fatal threat to China.

    "Your Majesty, all the troops in the northern battlefield have been basically prepared. It is expected that the war will be launched in a week. The troops in the Northeast Military Region have been organized into two armies. They are composed of the Third Division, the Thirteenth Division, and the Fourth Division.  The First Group Army, composed of the 17th Division, the 48th Division, and the newly formed 54th and 55th Divisions, consists of the 14th Division, the 21st Division, the 25th Division, and the 4th Division.  The Second Group Army, composed of the 16th Division and the newly formed 56th and 57th Divisions, includes a military-affiliated artillery brigade, a cavalry brigade, a guard brigade, an engineering brigade, a baggage brigade and a military-affiliated field hospital. Each army has a strength of ten  60,000 people. Among them, the main attack direction of the First Army is the nearly 1,500 kilometers long area from Chita to Birobidzhan. Although the attack area is relatively long, the Russian army only has more than 50,000 people.  It is mainly deployed in Chita. The Second Army mainly attacks the Vladivostok area. The Russian army has 100,000 people here, plus the Russian Pacific Fleet. After the war begins, the navy's assistance is needed to deal with the Russian Pacific Fleet. The Fourth Division of the Northern Military District  , the 50th Division, as well as the new 58th Division, 59th Division, 60th Division and 61st Division, as well as the military artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, guard brigade, engineer brigade, baggage brigade and military field  Hospital, forming the Third Army. It consists of the 8th Division, the 49th Division, the newly formed 62nd Division, the 63rd Division, the 64th Division and the 65th Division, as well as the army's artillery brigade and cavalry brigade.  , Guard Brigade, Engineer Brigade, Baggage Brigade and Military Field Hospital form the Fourth Army. Among them, the Third Army's attack target is Ulan-Ude. The Fourth Army's attack target is Kurtsk. The Third Cavalry Army will cooperate  The two armies fought. Russia deployed a total of 300,000 troops in Eastern Siberia. This number is still increasing by 20,000 per week. The 2nd Division, 5th Division, and 38th Division of the Northwest Military District  , the 39th Division and the newly formed 66th Division, as well as the military artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, guard brigade, engineering brigade, baggage brigade and military field hospital formed the fifth group army, and the attack target was the Balkhash Lake area. First  The cavalry corps will cooperate with the Fifth Army. There are about 100,000 Russian troops in this area. With five armies and two cavalry corps, the total number of troops deployed by our country on the northern battlefield has reached 900,000. In terms of military strength, it occupies an absolute  Advantages. In addition, the troops in the Capital Military Region are ready to join the battlefield at any time." Army Minister Cai Yun explained to Wang Yuze.  In addition to the 20 additional divisions, the Army also formed multiple artillery units.brigade, cavalry brigade, guard brigade, engineer brigade and baggage brigade, bringing the total strength of the army to 1.6 million.  Of course, after this battle is over, some troops will be disbanded.

    "Where is our opponent? How many troops do the Russians have?" Wang Yuze asked.  Nine hundred thousand people may seem like a lot, but spread over the vast land in the north, it's not much.  Moreover, China's opponent on the northern battlefield, Russia, has always been known for its strong military strength.

    "Russia has now expanded its army to two million people. They are in the northern battlefield, and now there are about 600,000 people. And this number is still increasing. However, due to the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Russian army  It is impossible to deploy to Eastern Siberia quickly. However, as the war progresses, Russia will definitely put more and more troops into the battlefield!" Cai Yun replied.

    "Although Russia has two million troops, they still have to defend Europe, and not many troops are invested in the Far East. The Baikal region will become the most important battlefield. After the First Army destroys the Russian army north of Heilongjiang, it can join  Go to the Baikal region to fight. In addition, if necessary, find a way to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. In this way, Russia will be powerless against the war in the Far East!" Wang Yuze said.  Russia's military forces in the Far East and Eastern Siberia rely almost entirely on the Trans-Siberian Railway.  The transportation capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway is seriously insufficient. If this artery can be cut off, all Russian troops on the front line will be finished!

    "Your Majesty, the General Staff plans to wait until the Russian troops gathered in the Baikal region reach a certain limit, then send special forces or use airship troops to blow up the Trans-Siberian Railway. At that time, they will be able to eat up the Russian troops entrenched in the Baikal region.  As long as these Russian troops can be eliminated, Russia's vitality will be greatly damaged." Xiong Wu said.

    "Yes, this is the plan! The Russians have strong military strength, but their industrial base is very weak. After losing a lot of troops and equipment, it will be difficult to replenish it. As long as the navy can defeat the British navy, then they will have no choice but to sue for peace.  Yes." Wang Yuze said in agreement.  Today's Russia is not as industrially developed as it was in later generations.  Among the great powers, Russia can be said to be the country with the weakest industrial strength.  It can only meet part of the army's needs.  If there are large-scale losses, even if enough soldiers can be recruited, there will not be enough weapons to equip these new soldiers.  Moreover, Russia's economic strength is even weaker.  Once the war drags on for too long, Russia's economy will collapse first.

    "Your Majesty! Sir Wu Tingfang would like to see you!" Wu Hao said as he walked into the study.

    "Oh! Let him in! It should be about declaring war on Britain!" Wang Yuze said.

    Soon, Wu Tingfang walked into the study.

    "Your Majesty, this morning, the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, has declared war on the Empire on behalf of the British government! I have also declared war on the UK on behalf of the Empire. From now on, the Empire and the UK are in a state of war!" Wu Tingfang said.

    "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later there will be a war between the Empire and Britain. It's just that it's earlier than expected!" Wang Yuze said indifferently.  The war between China and the Pacific Alliance was planned by Britain.  However, the UK initially wanted China and the Pacific Alliance to fight to the death.  Deng Shichang destroyed the British Far East Fleet, which forced Britain to declare war on the empire now.

    Wu Tingfang nodded and said nothing more.

    "By the way, where is little Japan? What is the situation in Japan now?" Wang Yuze asked.  After the Japanese navy was wiped out, Japan's hundreds of thousands of army troops would be useless.  That's why the General Staff transferred almost all the northern army to the front line.

    "Back to Your Majesty, Japan is stepping up its army expansion, and it seems that it is preparing to defend the Japanese islands. The empire and Britain declared war on each other, giving them an opportunity. Many Japanese people thought that as long as they held Japan, they would wait until Britain defeated us.  They will be able to win!" Xiong Wu said.

    "Huh! They have a good idea. Zhang Aiqing, when can the navy start operations?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Back to Your Majesty! The main force of the local fleet has not returned to the military port yet. The only thing that can be used now is the squadron. The squadron will be able to return to Naha tonight. After a simple rest, it will be able to go into battle. It will take about three days."  Zhang Cheng said.  Among the ships in the squadron, except for the heavy cruiser "Wuhan" which needs to be returned to the shipyard for repairs, the rest of the warships can be put into battle with only simple maintenance.
