One of the advantages of setting up a general staff department is to gather the best officers in the army, concentrate their intelligence, and help the commander command a huge army like an arm and a finger, and launch an efficient war. ”

Su Wen said: "Report to the emperor, according to the intelligence collected by the Ministry of Intelligence in the past few years, the Oros army in the Far East is only 200,000 people, if you add the temporary collection of strong men, the maximum will not exceed 500,000, if the Hubei army is used to defend the first-line fortress area from Vladivostok to Chita, it is still enough, but it is insufficient for attack." Please search ()! The population of the entire Siberian Oros is only 10 million people, and it is very difficult to dispatch a million troops at a time without the transfer of troops from the European territory of Oros and their transport baggage, and without an army of more than a million, it is difficult to attack our army in the Mongolian steppe and its northeastern region, and it is difficult to have any chance of victory. Because it was difficult to start a war against our army in these months, and the decision on whether or not to start the war was completely made by the Tsar of Oros and the top brass of his army, it was difficult to make a correct judgment on when the war would begin! ”

Hu Zhen felt that Su Wenzhen was reasonable, but he had more ideas: "Regardless of whether the Oros army has the strength to defeat my Huaxia army, if it is given the first attack, it will inevitably cause great losses to the people and land of the Huaxia Empire. ”

Su Wen said: "In fact, someone in the General Staff put forward such a plan, not recognizing the "Aihui Treaty" signed between the Oros and the Qing court, and on the grounds of recovering 600,000 square kilometers of China's territory, they will attack the Vladivostok base in Oros first, take him by surprise, and take back all the Far Eastern part of Oros centered on Vladivostok!" ”

The Treaty of Aihui was the second Treaty of Aihui in 1860, when Oros took advantage of the Anglo-French alliance to launch the second Treaty. When the war burned the Old Summer Palace, a large army was suddenly dispatched to force the Qing court to sign a contract to plunder 600,000 square kilometers of land south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and east of the north of the Heilongjiang River.

"Our Huaxia army is not ready to fight such a cruel and tragic battle, or after annihilating the enemy's main force in the field battle, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the enemy's position, this plan to take the initiative to seize the enemy's fortress position will not be considered for the time being!"

Hu Zhen did not advocate fighting an unprepared war, and he would not launch a war if he was not sure, and immediately vetoed this plan to take the initiative to attack the enemy's fortress area.

But, just waiting for the Oros army to attack, where will the Oros tsar be the first to launch?

Hu Zhen took a small whip, poked it heavily on the sand table map, and said: "Here, Hailan Pao, also known as Jiangzuo Qitun 64 Tun, the "Aihui Treaty" has assigned it to the place of Oros, but there is a little right left to the Qing court, allowing more than 35,000 Chinese residents to have permanent residency in this 3,600 square kilometers of land. to clear the settlements of the Chinese people into the area controlled by the Oros. This is likely to be the first place where we will fight the Oros army! ”

Su Wenzhen was very familiar with this, and as soon as Hu Zhen's voice fell, he picked up and said: "However, because our army was initially set in Heilongjiang, it was too late to garrison in Jiangzuo Qitun, and the Oros army did not allow us to enter this place at that time, and our strength there was insufficient at that time, so we did not hold on, but sent troops to deploy along the bank of Heilongjiang to hold Jiangyou first, just to enter this Jiangzuo area again in the future." ”

Hearing Su Wenzhen say that there was no garrison in Jiangzuo 64 Tun, everyone immediately became anxious, Hu Zhen turned his head and asked Chen Zichao, the Minister of Intelligence, who had been silent: "Has the Ministry of Intelligence sent someone here!" ”

"Report to the emperor, the Ministry of Intelligence has sent sixty people to infiltrate this place with weapons!"

Chen Zichao's answer made everyone excited at first, but it quickly turned into worry, because it was impossible for these scattered sixty people to carry heavy weapons and weapons, at most they would carry a little pistol and other weapons commonly used by spy personnel, in front of thousands of troops, they were nothing, as long as they dispatched a company of troops, they could be annihilated.

Hu Zhen was also slightly disappointed, but he knew that the Ministry of Intelligence could only do this, so he just asked a little boringly: "How many weapons do they carry!" ”

But Chen Zichao's next answer surprised everyone when they heard it: "...... When the Huaxia Army was stationed in the Heilongjiang area, this old man did not allow us to be stationed there, and we did not have a firm foothold, so we did not fight with him, so I had 2,000 rifles, 100 light machine guns, 1 million rounds of ammunition, and 10,000 grenades smuggled in, so that the more than 35,000 Chinese residents there would not be without the slightest ability to defend themselves when a sudden incident came! ”

Hu Zhen was very happy to hear this, slapped his slap twice, and said: "Very good, the Ministry of Intelligence has done a very good job this time, although this weapon cannot ensure the safety of more than 35,000 residents, but in case of an incident, as long as they withstand the first round of impact of the Oros army and support the arrival of reinforcements sent by the empire, they can ensure that their lives are worry-free!" ”

Su Wenzhen also felt that the General Staff was not well prepared here.

He immediately proposed: "Your Majesty, we have two frontier regiments of 7,000 people on the other side of the 64th Tunjiang River on the left side of the river, and now we will strengthen this place, and immediately send two additional infantry divisions, 30,000 people, and 100 airships to the 50-kilometer range to be on standby, and put into battle at any time!" ”

"Okay, you can arrange it, I'm afraid two infantry divisions are not enough, and we still need to mobilize more troops to rush to a hundred kilometers away to stand by, if the Oros army dares to hurt one of my Chinese residents here, let the war start here!"

Hu Zhen knew that the Hailanpao incident in another time and space was because the local residents had no ability to defend themselves, and the Qing army's combat effectiveness was too rubbish, so they were unable to break through the Hubei army's river defense line, and could only watch thousands of residents being slaughtered by the Oros army.

After urging the General Staff to arrange everything, Hu Zhen finally thought: I hope all the arrangements are still in time!
