After the annihilation of the Baikal Front, the remnants of the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the Far Eastern Front were also annihilated by the troops under the command of the Northeast Theater of Operations.

With the cooperation of the air force, the infantry units of the 1st Tank Division, 3 cavalry divisions, and 20 divisions under the command of the Northern Theater took advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the Hubei Army to rapidly advance toward the Baikal region, capture Ulan-Ude and Irkutsky, control the entire Baikal region, and cut off the rear route of the Third Army in the Far East.

At this point, in the first phase of the Sino-Hubei War, the Chinese Empire, which had only been established for a year, defeated the old empire Oros.

However, Hu Zhen did not relax because of this, and after receiving the report from the front-line troops, he convened the imperial prime minister, ministers of various departments, and the general staff to start a joint meeting of the military and the government.

In the battle against the enemy, of course, the military first informed everyone of the specific news of the victory, and Su Wenzhen, chief of the general staff, took out a war briefing to report to everyone.

"According to the reports of the troops on the destruction of the enemy, the General Staff has so far killed the commander of the Baikal Front, Nicholas, and the chief of staff, Brodaevsky, and our troops have annihilated 421,472 cavalry and 283,128 infantry of the Oros Baikal Front, destroyed 976 airships, destroyed 733 artillery pieces, captured 852 artillery pieces, 165,732 rifles, and 274,232 rifles. 3,166 Makqin heavy machine guns, more than 9,200,000 rounds of ammunition, and 767,625 horses......"

When the ministers on both sides of the conference table heard this, their eyes were about to bulge, and everyone gasped: they couldn't imagine that the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army was really so strong, and it could wipe out the armies of European powers by hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands! The Chinese nation is very fortunate!

There were also people at the scene who thought that the past battle reports of the Huaxia Army might be exaggerated, but everyone witnessed the battle in the suburbs of the capital a few days ago, and there will be absolutely no fake!

After being stunned for a while, everyone stood up and congratulated Hu Zhen under the leadership of Prime Minister Li Hongzhang: "Congratulations to the emperor, our army has won another big victory!" ”

"This is the result of the efforts of the officers and men of the Huaxia Army who silently supported the front line in the rear! Congratulations to everyone! Hu Zhen waved his hand and motioned to Su Wenzhen:

"The Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Union will continue to inform you of the results of the Northeast Theater!"

The results of this Northeast Theater are even more surprising.

"The strength of the Far Eastern Front of Oros was originally not as large as the Baikal Front, but since the beginning of the war at the 64th Tun in Jiangdong, the Oros army has recruited a large number of local Oro elite population, and its strength has swelled to 950,000 at its peak, and there are 670,000 Japanese troops here, as well as 1.5 million cannon fodder collected in Goryeo, with a total strength of more than 3 million, although the number of troops with combat effectiveness after regular military training is less than 900,000, but the astonishing number of 3.12 million troops, At its peak, the Northeast Theater had only 1.2 million troops, and it was under tremendous pressure in the face of two major enemies at the same time......"

Because the Chinese Empire was first established, Hu Zhen demanded that it was strictly forbidden to leak war information, so as not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, and now it was the General Staff of the Huaxia Army to disclose the specific information in the war to the senior administrative bureaucrats in China, and the victory of the Huaxia Army was already in sight, but everyone listened to it, and they were still secretly frightened by the enemy's strong forces.

Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of the empire present here, is a veteran in commanding operations, and he knows that the Huaxia Army has such a large number of troops of 1.2 million, and the heavy ammunition transported must be very huge, especially the complex weaponry system of the Huaxia Army is extremely dependent on logistics, which is absolutely an astronomical figure, and if there is a slight mistake in logistics supply, the Huaxia Empire, which has been established for less than a year, will fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

Hu Zhen listened expressionlessly, as if this was a matter that had nothing to do with him, and Su Wenzhen also talked lightly when he said it:

“…… The 670,000 Japanese army has been wiped out by our army, and now only 1450,000 people have fled into the Goryeo Peninsula to survive, and more than 1.5 million Goryeo cannon fodder were first driven by the Japanese army, and then driven to death by the Hubei army, and now they have been basically exhausted.......

"When will our army advance into the Goryeo Peninsula?" Li Hongzhang suddenly interjected and asked, because he was the direct commander of the First Sino-Japanese War, this Goryeo Peninsula almost made him lose the rest of his life, and for the Japanese army, the mustard in his heart was not easy to erase.

Li Hongzhang believes that to take the Goryeo Peninsula, it is no longer a problem for the strong combat power of the Huaxia Army.

Su Wenzhen stopped talking, Hu Zhen didn't answer directly, but asked: "Li Aiqing, there are two kinds of controversies about Goryeo, one is that Goryeo should be turned into a county, and the other is to continue to retain the status of Goryeo's vassal state, which one do you think is better!" ”

"Your Majesty, there has been this controversy since the first year of Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty, and the minister thinks that this controversy should have started in the Han Dynasty, not from the former Qing Dynasty, but from the former Qing Dynasty to the Han Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, the transportation is backward, the communication is backward, what happened on the Goryeo Peninsula, even if the fastest fast horse is used to report the news, there is no obstacle on the way, the imperial court will take ten days and a half to know, if the army is mobilized, it will be even more slow, and it will not be able to reach the Goryeo Peninsula in one or two months.

However, in today's era, there are both wired telegraphs and wireless telegraphy in communications, which can be reached thousands of miles away, and there are steam engines, ships, trains, and automobiles in transportation, and I heard the emperor say that highways can also be built to transport people and materials at a speed of more than 200 miles per hour.

Based on this technical situation, the minister thought that it would be more beneficial for the empire to turn Goryeo into a county! ”

After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room, and Hu Zhen was also comparing the performance of Li Hongzhang and others in another time and space with the performance in front of him, and he did not speak.

Zhang Zhidong couldn't help it, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think that since the Goryeo Peninsula is similar to our Great Chinese culture and uses the same script, it should be made into a county, otherwise it will be used by other countries in the future, and there will be endless troubles, and maybe future generations will one day point to our grave and scold us for not countying the Goryeo Peninsula!"

Zhang Zhidong said it very politely, making people listen as if he was using the public opinion of future generations to coerce the emperor to do what he suggested.

Hu Zhen didn't blame the old man, but smiled lightly and asked, "What do other people have different opinions?" I don't want to talk about it today, I ask you to know everything! (To be continued.) )
