Wang Yuze nodded. Siberia is too big. Hundreds of thousands of troops look at a lot, but if it is sprinkled, it is nothing. The Russian army in Irkutsk has now become a turtle in a jar and has no way out.

Retreat. It is indeed more time to siege Irkutsk and force the Russian army to surrender, but it can reduce the number of casualties of the army. Wang Yuze attaches great importance to this. In addition, on the Siberian battlefield, China also

It is indeed a bit short of troops, and the base camp is even preparing to drop the Eighth Army deployed in the Trade City into the battlefield. If Irkutsk changes from strong attack to siege, at least one army can be saved.

The Eighth Army would no longer have to be put into the battlefield, and would not be affected too much by the already weak logistics supply line.

"Your Majesty, I think this is completely feasible. The Fifth Army and the First Cavalry Army have occupied Omsk, so we must never give up the land east of Omsk. From Irkuts

K. The group of troops was drawn to advance westward, which could eliminate more than 100,000 Russian troops entrenched between Omsk and Megt. It was very beneficial to control this area and strengthen the defense of Omsk. According to us,

The information obtained was that in order to counterattack Omsk, the Russian army was mobilizing troops. It was initially estimated that the Russian army would invest 300,000 people, or even more troops in Omsk!" Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo also suggested.

"Since that's the case, then agree with General Cai's plan! However, in this case, the Battle of Irkutsk will be delayed for a long time!" Wang Yuze said. The food stored by the Russian army in Irkutsk was the first to go.

And ammunition is enough for the Russian army to support it for at least two or three months.

"Your Majesty, maybe it won't take long before the Russian army in Irkutsk surrenders! The combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia has entered the Bay of Bengal, and soon they will enter the Strait of Malacca and then enter the South China Sea.

At that time, the decisive battle between the Navy and the United Kingdom, France and Russia will begin. If the Navy can win, will the Russian army in Irkutsk still have to stick to it? I believe that Grand Duke Nicholas is definitely waiting for us.

The decisive battle between the navy and the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia. If we fail, then Grand Duke Nicholas will definitely continue to resist. If we win, then he can only surrender!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff.

"In this way, the Russian army in Irkutsk will be able to solve it soon. Nearly 500,000 Russian troops, this is sufficient labor!" Wang Yuze sighed. In the East and the Russian Far East, the Russian army's

The prisoners have begun to work, connecting Chinese railways with Russian Far East so that China can strengthen its control over these areas. In addition, the government plans to build a large number of settlements in the Russian Far East so that Japan can take these

Immigration in the region. Although the weather in Siberia is cold, it is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is still fertile. China will definitely immigrate to these places after the war. These Russian prisoners can act as free labor.

"Your Majesty, in order to expand the army, Nicholas II began to increase taxes frequently in Russia, which made the Russians miserable. Many capitalists, merchants, and even nobles were dissatisfied with Nicholas II. According to our conclusion,

Conclusion: Russia is prone to violent outbreaks. If the situation is difficult to deal with, Grand Duke Nicholas can become a good pawn. We can even support Grand Duke Nicholas and let him fight a civil war with Tsar Nicholas II.

No matter what, we must ensure that our interests are maximized!" said Jiang Xingguo, Minister of Defense.

Wang Yuze nodded. Isn’t the Russians in history just because Russia has been defeated frequently in World War I? The current situation is so similar to that during World War I. If civil strife broke out in Russia, it would be better. China can even do it.

Taking this opportunity, he cut off a severe knife on Russia. Wang Yuze had been thinking about the thousands of tons of gold in the Russian royal family for a long time. China's financial reform, currency reform from the silver standard to the gold standard, requires a lot of

As a support, Wang Yuze put his ideas on Russia a long time ago. Although the free circulation of gold and silver had been abolished after the founding of the empire, and gradually replaced gold and silver with Huayuan banknotes, there were also many loopholes.

After the war, China needed to spend time to reform these aspects. As for the funds required for reform, it could be raised through war reparations and the sale of weapons and ammunition to both sides after the Russian internal chaos.

"How is the navy prepared? This battle is crucial. If the navy cannot win as we expect, even with the support of the army, we will not be defeated, but the war dividends obtained will probably be greatly reduced!

"Wang Yuze asked. Although, according to the base camp's war chess, the possibility of the Chinese Navy winning was more than 80%, but when things came to an end, he was still a little worried.

"Your Majesty, the Admiralty has guaranteed that they will win. Lord Zhang of the Admiralty has personally gone to Beihai to take charge. All the warships of the local fleet are ready for battle. The main warships of the local fleet are already concentrated in

After Beihai Port and Zhanjiang Port, we will go out to sea to fight them after the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia enters the South China Sea!" Chief of Staff Xiong Wu replied.

"Where is the submarine force? Are you ready?" Wang Yuze asked. The submarine will be used as a secret weapon for this naval battle. The power of the submarine has also been recognized by the Chinese Navy. In this naval battle, the submarine will act as a submarine.

The first wave of combat power. When the submarine attack caused chaos in the joint fleet of the British, French and Russian countries, it was time for the Chinese navy to emerge and fight the decisive battle with the British, French and Russian joint fleet. Wang Yuze was very good at this battle.

The attention of the whole of China and even the world is all focused here.

"Don't worry, your majesty, the submarine base built by the Navy in Subic Bay has been put into use. At present, all submarines are all deployed there! After the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia enters the South China Sea, they will be dispatched!" Xiong Wu replied

road.

When Wang Yuze heard this, he felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, before the Navy and the United Kingdom, France and Russia fight to the decisive battle, the battle between the Pacific Fleet and the US Navy will probably start first. The latest news I got today is that the US West Coast Fleet has already gone to sea from the San Diego base. The US government should have been affected.

The pressure from the British is that we have to fight a decisive battle with us!" said Jiang Xingguo, Minister of Defense.

"Oh? How are the Pacific Fleet prepared? Can you win?" Wang Yuze asked.

"The Pacific Fleet, which has been strengthened, is no less than the West Coast Fleet of the US Navy. The Pacific Fleet is also ready for combat. The fleet will go out to sea tonight. It is expected that the battle between the Pacific Fleet and the US Navy will be in three places.

It starts four days later. I believe that the Pacific Fleet will not disappoint us!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff.

After the base camp made the decision, it quickly notified the northern battlefield. After receiving the order, Army Minister Cai Yun immediately convened a military meeting and made the latest deployment. According to the latest deployment, the First Army will be from Irku

Tsk was transferred from Megt to attack westward, and the first step was to eliminate more than 100,000 Russian troops entrenched in Cheremhovo, and then continued to advance westward, all the way to Omsk, and the Fifth Army and

The First Cavalry Army fought against the Russian counterattack against Omsk.

The siege of Irkutsk was completed by the Third Army and the Fourth Army. As for the Third Cavalry Army, it was deployed as a mobile force. With the two armies and one cavalry army, the force of 360,000 people,

It is enough to form a tight siege of Irkutsk. In addition, the Chinese team has an absolute advantage in artillery power, even if the Russian army in Irkutsk wants to break through in the future, it will be impossible.

Of course, in order to form a tight encirclement, the Chinese team also needs to build a tight line of defense in the west, north and east of Irkutsk. As for the south of Irkutsk, there is the natural barrier of the Angara River.

After the Russian army blew up the bridge above the river, they blocked themselves.

The Chinese team changed its strategy against Irkutsk, from offense to siege. Although it still continued to bombard the Russian army every day, it made the Russian army feel relieved. At least, the chance of death in this way must be

They are much smaller. As for what to do in the future, it is not something they can consider. It should be a question that Grand Duke Nikolai, the highest commander of the Russian army in Irkutsk.

In fact, the Chinese team changed its strategy, and Grand Duke Nikolai was also very satisfied. If the Chinese team took a strong attack on Irkutsk, he would not be sure of Ir if the artillery was completely suppressed.

How long can Kutsk last? Besides, he can't say how long the Russian army's strong combat power burst out under his high-pressure policy can last. If the Russian army collapses, Irkutsk will not be able to defend it. Therefore,

, the strategy of the Zhong** team's siege but not attacking is something that Grand Duke Nicholas cannot afford.

Of course, Grand Duke Nicholas was also waiting for the change of the war situation to appear. The decisive battle between the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia and the Chinese Navy was about to break out soon. It was not until the result of this naval battle came out that he could make it easier.

The next stage of decision. Of course, he firmly believed that the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia would definitely win the final victory if it had an overwhelming advantage! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and more updated.
