"Of course, due to our involvement, the development of history has changed, so the course of the Russo-Japanese War, it is not excluded that there will be major changes, we have also made two plans for this, the first situation is that Japan has achieved a relatively obvious advantage on the battlefield, not only heavy damage to the Russian army, but also its own losses are smaller than in the old time and space, and there is the ability to fight again, and our response is still to start from the sea first, total annihilation, It is even to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Combined Fleet and gain sea supremacy, so that we can cut off the Japanese army's replenishment, and then carry out a landing operation, so that Japan will not be afraid after losing the replenishment, but at the beginning of the war, Japan may still have a certain combat effectiveness, then we can also unite with Russia, flank Japan in front and rear, and after defeating Japan completely, we will turn back and deal with Russia, and our predetermined goals, such as severely inflicting heavy damage on Japan and Russia, recovering Northeast China, and obtaining war reparations will remain unchanged. ”

"The second situation is that Russia has the advantage on the battlefield, and Japan's war is unfavorable, then we are likely to choose to fight side by side with Japan, of course, in this case, it is estimated that Japan will take the initiative to rescue us, and we can take the opportunity to ask Japan to force Japan to make concessions to us, the result of this is to recover the Northeast, and the war reparations can basically be achieved, but Japan is likely to avoid a catastrophe, and can also get a piece of the war reparations, and can be supported by Britain and the United States, we will make trouble and leave a trouble, unless it is after defeating the Russian army, Japan refuses to fulfill the promised concessions, we can use this as an excuse to turn the other cheek with Japan. However, the variables of these two situations are too great, so we can only make a rough plan, and the timing and place of the group's participation in the war must be determined according to the actual situation at that time. It is estimated that after the start of the war, at most 6 months, a clear judgment will be made. The above is the plan and arrangement in terms of operations, and you can say if you have any questions to ask or need to supplement. ”

Wang Yunpeng said: "If we follow our battle plan, will we be able to defeat Japan and Russia in one fell swoop?"

Xiao Jianjun said: " Of course, I have full confidence in this, first, the Japanese and Russian sides have been fighting fiercely for almost a year and a half, and both sides are exhausted, demoralized, and have suffered huge losses, and the casualties of the elite troops have been very large, both psychologically and physically, and they have reached the limit, while we are waiting for work at ease and are full of vigor; second, the battlefield is China's northeast region, whether it is Japan or Russia, they are both aggressors, although it is not excluded that there are a small number of traitors who will help Japan and Russia to do things, but the overwhelming majority of the people will not support them, and we are fighting to defend our homeland and the people of the northeast region, and we can get the support of the broad masses of the peopleThird, we still have a few trump cards in our hands that can play a role at the time of Guan Jian, so I think we will definitely be able to defeat Japan and Russia and achieve victory. ”

Xu Jichao said: "In the old time and space, the Russo-Japanese War lasted for almost two years, before the First World War, it was the longest war, it can be said to be protracted, both Japan and Russia were dragged to the exhaustion, and at present, our national strength is not as good as that of Japan and Russia, so is there a limit on the duration of the war?"

Xiao Jianjun said: " The initial scheduled time is one year, considering that both Japan and Russia are exhausted at this time, this time is sufficient, and in this year, the first half of the year is Guanjian, because of the process of the old time and space, the Battle of Tsushima took place on May 28, 1905, so the focus is on the five months from June to October 1905, in the first two months to complete the complete defeat of the Japanese army, or drive most of the Japanese army to the east bank of the Yalu River, the last three months are mainly to deal with the Russian army, the bottom line goal is to recover Mukden, that is, Shenyang, on this basis, as far as possible to expand northward, and after November, the northeast region will enter a severe cold climateIt is not suitable for a large-scale war again, the troops can enter a period of repair, and at this point, it is also possible to consider ending the war, and if Japan and Russia refuse our conditions, then in February and March 1906 we can launch another offensive and teach them another lesson. ”

Xia Bohai frowned and said, "Is there any climate and season for war? Besides, if we want to stop fighting in the harsh winter season, it depends on whether Japan and the Russian army agree to it." ”

Qin Zheng said: " I think such a plan is appropriate, it does not mean that it will not be fought in the harsh winter, if we can complete the battle plan before the harsh winter, and use the harsh winter to consider ending the war, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, fighting in the harsh cold climate is indeed beneficial to Russia, this is an objective fact, but if there are fighters in the harsh winter season, we still have to fight correctly, and we have at least two winters, although the winter in Shandong is not as cold as in the northeast, but there is also a period of cold weather, and the winter training of the troops should be strengthened. ”

Xiao Jianjun nodded and said, "Now I am already making a plan for winter training." ”

Xia Bohai said: "If we follow our plan, we will completely annihilate the Japanese and Russian fleets and cut off the Japanese army's replenishment, but what if Japan and the Russian army join forces at this time?

Xiao Jianjun said: " We have considered this situation, first of all, the possibility of Japan and Russia joining forces is not very large, after all, the two sides have fought several battles, and each other has died more than 100,000 people, there is a saying that they can join forces, and even if they join forces, they also need communication and consultation between the governments of the two countries, but after the start of the war between Japan and Russia, the diplomats of both sides have already returned to their own countries, and even if they want to negotiate, they still need to go through a third country, and when they negotiate well, the Japanese army may have been defeated by us; secondly, we will not sit idly by and watch Japan and Russia join forces, and we can make more diplomatic efforts, because we landed in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the first to fight against the Japanese army is the Japanese army, and there is a lot of room for maneuver in diplomacyIn the end, of course, it is not excluded that Japan and Russia will complete negotiations in a short period of time, and then join forces to deal with us, but this only adds some difficulty to us, after all, the system of the Japanese and Russian armies is different, and even if the Japanese army has Russian reinforcements, it will not play much role, for example, the Japanese rifle is a 6 mm caliber, and the Russian rifle is a 7.62 mm caliber, which cannot be used at all. So we are not worried about the joint efforts of Japan and Russia. ”

Qin Zheng said again: "In the first plan, our plan is to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet first, but if the Combined Fleet does not go to sea to fight a decisive battle with us at this time, but uses the tactics of avoiding the battle, but maintaining the tactics of taking pictures against us? Because Japan is an island country, and with our current strength, it is impossible to blockade the entire island of Japan, and without annihilating the Combined Fleet, we will not be able to gain sea supremacy and completely cut off Japan's supply line, how should we deal with this situation." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "If the Japanese Combined Fleet avoids war, there are two plans to deal with it, one is that we can divide our troops into two ways, on the one hand, we can concentrate the main warships and prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese Combined Fleet, and on the other hand, organize protective cruisers, still block the Tsushima Strait, cut off Japan's transportation lines, and the Japanese army in China relies entirely on sea transportation and supplies, so Japan can only choose to fight a decisive battle with us." The other plan is more extreme, organizing a fleet to shell Japan's coastal cities, the island countries have advantages and weaknesses, and it is indeed difficult to blockade the sea on all sides, but the surrounding area is full of loopholes, and it is difficult to defend, so there is no fear that the combined fleet will not go to war. ”

Xu Jichao said: "I don't know if the Military Commission has considered it, at present, we are considering China, Japan, Russia is three parties, but what if the fourth party intervenes, it is like this time we Java protect overseas Chinese, Britain intervened, but we both have scruples, so it can be regarded as a peaceful end, and the Netherlands is not an ally of Britain, to some extent, the two sides still have some small troubles, and in such a relationship, Britain will also help the Netherlands, and Japan and Britain are indeed allies, Russia and France also have alliances, I think if we defeat Japan and Russia on the battlefield at the same time, Britain and France will definitely intervene, even the United StatesGermany will also intervene, and then we will be the enemy of the whole world. ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Even if there is no British intervention in Java, we will consider the involvement of the fourth party, but we think that the United States, It is unlikely that Germany will intervene, the United States at this time is not the United States of the old time and space, to a certain extent, the current United States and the China of the old time and space have a lot of similarities, big but not strong, still in the Taoguang obscurity, at most it is the stage of doing something, and will never easily intervene in this large-scale regional war, at most it is easy to wait until the end of the war to pick up a little, and Germany is powerless, they have no base in the Far East, can not support intervention, so only Britain, France needs to be vigilant, and these two countries are certain to step in. ”

"There are basically two ways for Britain and France to intervene, one is to provide Japan and Russia with funds, materials, Weapons of support, support them to go on, but this support has a marginal effect, the later the effect is smaller, by it is the losing side, because no matter how good the weapon is, it must be used by people, a soldier must go through at least 6 months of systematic training before he can go to the battlefield, a warship's training cycle is longer, and it will have to go through another 2-3 battles to mature, otherwise even if they are issued weapons, they will only give away their heads on the battlefield, so as long as we seize the opportunity in the first stage and annihilate the enemy's living forces, the support effect of Britain and France will be greatly reduced; the other is to directly send troops to intervene, and even directly declare war on usHowever, although Britain and France have vast colonies in the Far East, if they want to start a war with us, they will still be dominated by the navy, and when it comes to the navy, we are really not afraid of any country in the world at present, just take this opportunity to stand up for power, severely damage the navies of Britain and France, shock all other countries, and fight a 20-year period of peaceful development in World War I. ”
