    "Five million? That much? In this case, Irkutsk will have millions of troops from both sides concentrated." Wang Yuze frowned.  Cai Yun wants to decide the outcome in a battle in Irkutsk, and he supports this.  In the Lake Baikal region, the logistical supply pressure of the Chinese Army is not great. If the situation moves further west, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides will change.  At that time, it will be beneficial to the Russian army and detrimental to the Chinese army.  If the Russian army can be severely weakened in Irkutsk, this will undoubtedly be very beneficial.  The current total strength of the Russian army is only 2.5 million, excluding the more than 600,000 who were wiped out. If 500,000 Russian troops can be annihilated in Irkutsk, plus the Central Asian battlefield, then,  It can reduce the number of Russian troops to a little more than one million people.  Except for the garrisons in Europe, the Russian army simply cannot mobilize more troops, which will inevitably cause the Russian army to lose the capital to continue the war.

    ¡°If we want to annihilate 500,000 Russian troops in Irkutsk, the First Army, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Third Cavalry Army in the northern battlefield alone will only be able to defeat 500,000 people.  Although the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is lower, it will probably be very difficult to annihilate the same number of Russian troops!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu also said.  I have to admit that this battle plan is indeed very bold.

    "Your Majesty, Chief of General Staff! The three armies and one cavalry corps in the northern battlefield are enough. After the war begins, the Fifth Army in Central Asia will go north to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. With his help, I don't think it will be possible.  What's the problem?" Cai Yun said.

    "Let's do this. Deploy troops from the Capital Military District and form a group army. Head to the northern battlefield to strengthen the military strength of the northern battlefield. No matter what, we must ensure the victory of this battle. As long as this battle can be won, the land battlefield will basically be  There will be no more big wars in the world!" Wang Yuze said.  If the Irkutsk war can be won as planned, Russia, which has been severely weakened, will find it very difficult to defend its own land. How can it dare to continue the war with China?  Unless they don't want European territory, they all send their armies to Asia.  However, don't forget that although Russia has a vast territory, its European part is the most important part. Most of the population and industry are concentrated in Europe.

    "I also agree with His Majesty's point of view. The security of the capital area can be taken over by the Guards. The troops in the Capital Military District can be mobilized from the 9th Division, the 10th Division, the 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 40th Division.  The Fourth Division and the 45th Division formed the 8th Army and joined the northern battlefield. These divisions in the Capital Military District are all elite troops. With their joining, the Russians will be dead this time!" Chief of General Staff  Xiong Wu said.  The troops in the Capital Military Region are basically among the most elite in the country.  Although the establishment of the 8th Army will leave only two divisions in the Capital Military District.  But there are still Imperial Guards around, and the security of the Gyeonggi region is fully guaranteed.

    "Chief of Staff, I very much agree with strengthening the military strength of the northern theater. However, the increase in troops will also put greater logistical pressure on the northern battlefield. The northern battlefield now supports the logistical supplies of three group armies and a cavalry corps.  It is already very difficult. If another group army is added, I am afraid that the logistics supply will not be able to support it!" Cai Yun said.  As the Imperial Army Minister and the supreme commander of the northern battlefield, Cai Yun would certainly not dislike the fact that he commanded more troops.  What's more, the troops drawn from the Capital Military Region are also elite troops.  Of course he would be happy if it were anywhere else.  But in the northern battlefield, road traffic is terrible.  If the war goes wrong, poor logistics can drag down frontline troops to death.  He didn't want this to happen, otherwise he would regret it.

    "Does the General Staff have a plan to improve the logistics support in the northern battlefield? Modern warfare is all about logistics. Especially after we use heavy weapons such as artillery on a large scale, the requirements for logistics supplies are even greater!" Wang Yuze asked.

    "According to the proposal of the northern battlefield to use small cargo ships to transfer logistics supplies from the Selenge River, the General Staff has already made arrangements. We use trains to transport a group of cargo ships capable of carrying about 20 to 50 tons of cargo to the Buying and Selling City, and then  Assemble them. The number is about one hundred. In this way, we can effectively ensure the troops fighting in the Lake Baikal region. This method can be used until our railway is connected to the Trans-Siberian Railway. At the same time, we will withdraw from the Northeast battlefield  All the cars that came down can also be used on the northern battlefield, which will help protect the logistics supplies of the northern battlefield. In addition, the herdsmen organized by the Mongolian Province can also continue to invest in logistics transportation. After the war is over, the military will provide these supports  We will provide some subsidies to the former herdsmen. In this way, we should be able to ensure the consumption of materials in the northern battlefield!" Xiong Wu said.

    Wang Yuze nodded. Now the total number of cars purchased by the Imperial Logistics Department has reached more than 2,000, and 500 cars are produced every month.Then, he jumped directly into the battlefield.  The purpose is to ensure supplies to the front line.

    "Let's do this! After the 8th Group Army is formed, it will head to the Buying City to garrison. If the battle in Irkutsk goes well, the 8th Group Army will not have to go into battle. If the war does not go well, the 8th Group Army can also go directly from the Buying City.  Enter the battlefield!" Wang Yuze suggested.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai Yun had no objection.  The empire's trains can reach the Trading City, and all supplies are transported from the Trading City to the front line.  Now, a lot of supplies have been accumulated in the Buying and Selling City, but it is just difficult to transport them to the front line.  The 8th Army is stationed in Buying City, which will not put too much pressure on the logistical supplies of the northern battlefield.

    "Your Majesty, the 5th Army and the 1st Cavalry Army in the Northwest battlefield defeated the Russian army sent to Central Asia by the Russian army in the Balkhash Lake area. The offensive of the army in southern Central Asia was also very smooth. Now, almost half of the Central Asian Army has  The sub-region has fallen under the control of the empire!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff.

    "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, these areas originally belonged to China! Now that they are taken back, they will never be let out again!" Wang Yuze said.  Central Asia is a vast and sparsely populated region with deserts all over the place, making it unsuitable for large-scale operations.  Although the Fifth Army and the First Cavalry Army fought very hard, they had adapted to the climate of Central Asia and were able to continue to persevere.

    "In addition, the commander of the Second Army has asked again when they can land in Japan. I guess the soldiers are a little anxious waiting!" Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo also said with a smile.

    "There is no rush to land in Japan to fight. In the war in Japan, the cooperation of the navy is needed. Now, the navy must prepare for the war with all its strength and strive to defeat the British, French and Russian combined fleets. After the naval battle is won, it will not be too late to land in Japan. Anyway, there is no time  The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for Japan. According to the intelligence we have received, Japan's domestic food supply has already experienced a crisis after the blockade. If we wait another two months, there will probably be a famine in Japan!" Wang Yuze  said.  If all the Japanese could starve to death, peace would be impossible.  Of course, this is just a wish.  However, it is also very good to be able to reduce Japan's war potential as much as possible.

    "Your Majesty, the leading troops of the 6th Group Army have boarded the ship and are heading to Hawaii. Our large-scale increase of troops to Hawaii may cause a fierce confrontation in the United States!" Xiong Wu said.

    "The war has already started anyway, so there is no need to be afraid of them. Although the U.S. West Coast Fleet is strong, our Pacific Fleet is not bad. Even if it is worse than the U.S. West Coast Fleet, it is only slightly inferior. The real war  If we get up, we still don¡¯t know who will win the final victory. The battle in the Eastern Pacific is left to the Pacific Fleet, and we can¡¯t take care of it for the time being. Once we defeat the combined fleets of Britain, France, and Russia, all problems will be solved!" Wang Yuze  Said with a smile.  Although China and the United States have long declared war, the U.S. fleet has been lingering on the west coast and has not taken the initiative to attack the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet.  It is estimated that they do not have the confidence to win and do not dare to start the war easily.  And now, with the Chinese Communist Party winning on all fronts, the Americans need to weigh things up even more.

    In Nanyang, whether it is the battlefield of Burma or the battlefield of the French Indochina Colony, the Chinese Army is victorious.  The British and French armies are constantly defeated. If this continues, by the end of the month or the beginning of next month, the entire Nanyang will be completely controlled by China.  When the time comes, we can deal with Thailand and overpower Indonesia from the Netherlands, and that will be perfect.

    After China and the Pacific Alliance went to war, especially after Britain and France joined the war, the world generally disliked China.  It is believed that if China monopolizes the five major powers with the power of one country, it will only fail in the end.  However, the development of the war situation to this point has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.  The Chinese navy first annihilated the Japanese navy, leaving hundreds of thousands of Japanese land forces trapped in Japan.  As for the Chinese Army, it is also fighting in the north, Russia, a world power, is looking for teeth.  Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Russia is obviously no match for China.  Polar bears in Asia have suffered severe head injuries.  Now the last hope for the entire Pacific Alliance is the combined fleet expedition.  As for whether it will be successful, no one can guarantee this.  Even the originally firm confidence of the Pacific Alliance countries has begun to waver.

    Especially in Japan, with the food crisis, a pessimistic mood has arisen.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
