When the Chinese army was engaged in a major battle with the Japanese army and the Hubei army in the Far East, the news reached Moscow, and when Nicholas II heard that the First Army of the Far Eastern Front was surrounded, he immediately became anxious and asked the Minister of War Alexei Nikolayevich Kuropatkin: "What is going on, my army of more than 100,000 in the Great Oros will be surrounded by those yellow people!" ”

Alexei said respectfully: "Your Highness, the First Army of the Far Eastern Front is surrounded by the troops of the Chinese Empire, but this is not necessarily a bad thing!" ”

"What, this nearly 200,000-strong army is surrounded by the enemy, and it's not a bad thing? Is that still a good thing? The young and vigorous Nicholas II almost burst into flames in his eyes, and he felt a wave of resentment towards Kuropatkin at this time.

Who knows, Alexei asked rhetorically: "Your Highness, may I ask your subordinates what is the strategic goal to be achieved by the Oros Empire declaring war on the Chinese Empire?" ”

"Does that need to be said? That, of course, was to bring the lands north of the Yellow River under the rule of the Oros Empire! ”

Alexei still came to a rhetorical question: "May I ask Your Highness, how many troops does it take for the yellow-skinned monkey who can surround our army of nearly 200,000 to do it?" ”

"That must require at least more than 500,000 troops, otherwise it will not be able to encircle nearly 200,000 Oros Emperor ** troops!"

Alexei continued to ask: "Your Highness, it takes 500,000 yellow-skinned monkeys to surround the First Army, and on the side of the Second Army of the Far Eastern Front, how many yellow-skinned monkeys do you have to put into force?" ”

"That's at least 500,000 horses!" In Nicholas II's mind, the army composed of Cossack serfs in Oros did not have the Oros people often said that one Oros soldier could fight five Chinese soldiers, but one could still fight two, so Nicholas II always calculated one to two when comparing forces with the Chinese army.

"Your Highness, the Chinese Empire still has to leave enough troops to deal with the Japanese ** team from the north of the Goryeo Peninsula, it is said that now the Japanese have collected 1.5 million strong men on the Goryeo Peninsula, which is enough for the Chinese Empire to be busy for a long time!"

"According to the calculation of one-to-one troops, the Chinese Empire must prepare at least two million men! No, no, the Huaxia Empire doesn't have that many troops, but it has to take seven or eight hundred thousand horses to deal with it! Yes! Understood, Alexey, are you telling me that you are going to transfer all the forces of the Chinese Empire to the Far Eastern theater of operations, so that the defense of their capital will be empty, so that our Baikal Front can take it directly? Isn't that so? ”

Alexei smiled and gently patted Nicholas II's ass: "Your Highness is really wise, and you can see the key at once!" ”

"Alexey, you are so smart, the more brutal the Far Eastern Front fights, the more chances our Baikal Front will have! If we make arrangements this time, and all the troops of the Chinese Empire are transferred to the Far Eastern Theater, we will have a great chance of seizing his capital, and capture their emperor alive, and force them to sign a treaty agreeing to cede the territory north of the Yellow River, or at least the land north of the Great Wall and east of Shanhaiguan! ”

"Your Highness, it is cheaper to cede this bit of land, it is said that the Nanyang Huaxia Guild has a lot of new technologies, and we can also force them to sell these new technologies, which will be of great help to the economy of the Oros Empire!" The Minister of Finance Sergei, who had been standing next to him and did not speak. The first thing that came to Witt's mind was how to help the economy of the Oros Empire.

"My Minister of Finance, as long as the emperor of the Chinese Empire is caught, then everything is easy to talk about, and it is not easy to ask for a little compensation!"

Without waiting for Witt to speak, Alexei hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, I suggest that for this reason, we should make the following strategic plan arrangements:

First, ostensibly alarmed by the encirclement of the First Army of the Far Eastern Front, the telegram ordered the massive transfer of units of the Baikal Front, the Siberian Front to the Far East.

Second, the telegram ordered the Far Eastern Front to immediately form the Third Army in the area north of Amur, to meet the transferred forces of the two armies, and to prepare for the rescue of the First Army.

Third, in order to divert the attention of the Chinese Empire, the Far Eastern Fleet should immediately move eastward, lift the blockade for the Japanese state, attract the pursuit of the Chinese Imperial fleet, and penetrate deep into the Pacific Ocean.

Fourth, the Second Army of the Far Eastern Front should immediately stop moving north, and instead strike westward, rushing into the area under the actual control of the Huaxia Army, and forcing more Huaxia Army to reinforce the theater.

Fifth, the Far Eastern Front was ordered to contact the Japanese army on the Goryeo Peninsula, requiring them to advance north at all costs and entangle the strength of the Chinese army of more than one million.

Sixth, bypassing the cable telegraph line, secretly ordered Grand Duke Nicholas to mobilize the cavalry of Siberia and the cavalry of the Baikal Front to unite as quickly as possible, at least one person, two horses, and three horses, under the cover of the troops of the First Army of the Far Eastern Front, secretly assemble in the Mongolian steppe, and at the right time, quickly break through the Great Wall defense line of the Chinese Army, surround the capital of the Chinese Empire, and capture the Chinese Emperor alive!

Your Highness, how is this arrangement? ”

Nicholas II was very happy to hear this, and said: "Very good, this is very good, so it is arranged, and the troops are required to act immediately!" By the way, this must be kept secret, and now even the password of this cable telegraph is unreliable, so we must pay attention to secrecy! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, we must fully support this war, and for this reason we propose to use a secret fund we have left in Petersburg for the war!"

Hearing that it was possible to obtain war reparations, even the Chancellor of the Exchequer Werther, who had always opposed the immediate declaration of war, became eagerly awaited, and did not hesitate to use the last financial reserves of the Oros, hoping to defeat the Chinese Empire, obtain a large amount of war reparations, and completely solve the financial difficulties of the Oros Empire.

"And a secret fund?" Nicholas II couldn't imagine that Witte still had such a hand, could it be that his father, Alexander III, deliberately concealed himself?

"Your Highness, this fund is all gold, there are six hundred tons of gold, it is the gold reserve of the Oros Empire, it is the gold reserve used to print currency, it cannot be used in ordinary times, if there is any accident in this gold reserve, the Oros Empire will be in danger! But now the situation is urgent, and it can only be used in the war first, and after the war, the Chinese Empire must be asked to make several times or even ten times the indemnity for this to compensate us! ”

It was only at this point that Witt stated his purpose for using the gold reserves for the war.

Knowing that it was impossible for Witte, who was struggling to save the finances of the Oros Empire on the verge of collapse, Nicholas II said: "Well, then use our gold reserves to win this war!" ”

Everyone here understands that this time in order to defeat the Chinese Empire, Oros will do their best!
