"Don't worry, Russia can't increase its troops. "Young Master Liang patted the table with a natural look and smiled proudly. "I should be able to assure everyone here of this."

"Why? Your Majesty, there is no intelligence that the Russian Empire will not send additional troops to the East if it has been thwarted in its offensive in the East. Ni Ming rubbed his eyebrows and took over all kinds of information and intelligence distributed by those staff members.

"Intuition." Liang Pengfei, the brazen traverser, once again regarded himself as a great god, well, very godly pointed his finger at his head.

"That's, isn't it?" A staff officer attending the meeting couldn't help but mutter, seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, including Liang Pengfei. I had to stand up with a dry laugh. "Your Majesty, we have great confidence in you, but you have said that before making a decision on any major military matter, we must be very cautious and try to do a good job in all aspects, based on facts. But you're ...... now."

"......" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes for a long time, but it was difficult to refute this sentence, and what this staff officer said was also the truth, and he also mentioned many times that he wanted to speak with facts, but as a result, he was in a good mood just now, and he accidentally came up with such a sentence.

Damn, I got into it, but I can't tell these guys that I'm from the future, knowing that just this year, the iron-fisted Russian Tsarina will be hiccuping because of a stroke, which will plunge the political situation in Russia into turmoil.

"Uh, that's it...... I say intuition because I got it from the information we had at my disposal, not from it. Liang Pengfei secretly cursed in his heart, but he had to put on a posture of telling the facts and reasoning, racking his brains to recall the relevant intelligence information.

But soon, he found a breakthrough: "The Russian Empire is also a powerful empire relative to the whole of Europe, remember, Europe, because, under the guidance of the military and political ideas of that old Russian lady, the expansion of the Russian Empire is focused on Europe, not in the East." On this point, I think that Staff Officer Chen of the Institute of Military Intelligence of Russia in Europe is the most vocal. ”

Hearing Liang Pengfei's roll call, a staff officer stood up and flew a standard military salute to Liang Peng. "Your Majesty didn't say anything, Russia, an empire full of endless greed for the land, his focus was on Europe, for a European outlet to the sea, the Russian Empire even did not hesitate to launch several large-scale campaigns, in order to expand its influence in Europe, what it wanted to obtain was the hegemony of Europe, to become the most vocal empire in the whole of Europe, they fought a long war with Sweden from 1788 to 1790, and teamed up with Prussia and Austria in 1772, In 1793 and last year, Poland was divided into three parts. and seized most of the lands of Lithuania, Belarus and Western Ukraine, making Georgia a protectorate......"

“…… They were very wary of the French Revolution, and since the outbreak of the French Revolution in 17**, Russia has taken the lead in organizing anti-French intelligence and actively participated in the suppression of the French Revolution by European monarchies, because they did not want their political system to collapse like France. ”

"Today, the French Revolution has not only not diminished its power, but has intensified, and the eyes of the whole of Europe are focused on this terrible monster without a monarch, without an aristocracy, or even without a unified leadership......"

"Based on these, we can be absolutely sure that Russia's political and military center of gravity is in Europe, not in the East." Liang Pengfei stood up and made a final summary speech. In addition, the large emigration of the Manchu bannermen would divert much of Russia's attention from facing east. Compared to the Chinese Empire, which was fighting with them for the Siberian region, those Manchu bannermen who moved west to the former Golden Horde and penetrated deep into Russia would have no time to look eastward. ”

"Therefore, we have used the city of Erkou as a decoy, as long as we can use the most resolute means in the shortest possible time to annihilate the army of the Russian crusade. Then, they are afraid of our strength, either, unless they come to the east with the whole country's troops, or they are playing the tactic of adding fuel and sending people to death. As long as there is a little bit of political acumen, Russia will not, and will not be, abandon the European territory it has been operating for a long time and come to the barren Siberian region to fight us to the death. ”

Seeing that these more and more mature staff officers were eagerly discussing how to deal with Russia, a strong enemy in the north, Liang Pengfei was really a little emotional, and the staff system of this world would be established in his own hands and would spread.

Seeing a huge, centralized empire in its own hands, has shaken off the shadow of history, has broken away from the original trajectory of history, embarked on a new fork in the road, and now, following in his footsteps, there are more and more followers on this golden avenue.

Now, his team is no longer limited to the original few people or even a dozen people, there are more than 200 employees working in the Imperial General Staff alone, and in the entire Jiading, there are nearly 7,000 staff members belonging to various departments of the political axe.

This is just the beginning, and fortunately, I have a large number of talent reserves in various parts of Nanyang before, otherwise, it is strange that I don't go crazy if I just compete with those scholars who only know how to be known all day long.

However, now Guangdong University has entered the right track, and a large number of talents who have received a new type of education are emerging one after another, and they will be assimilated, or it will affect more scholars to emancipate their minds and contribute to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The university will be trained by the Chinese Empire to produce a large number of talents who are currently scarce, whether it is metal smelting, chemical synthesis, or scientific research, all of which have formed a terrible fault line during the period when the Manchu government began to rule the land of Kyushu, and now, Europe is in a period of turmoil, and it is the opportunity for the Chinese nation to seize the opportunity and try to catch up.

The military academy is also cultivating a large number of people with excellent military qualities, who will enter the army from the military academy and become the backbone of the Chinese emperor's [***] military force.

In addition to the construction of human resources, the country's infrastructure construction naturally cannot be pulled down, and at this stage, the direction of investment in the imperial political axe is not only education, but also the construction of roads and communications.

Starting from Guangzhou, Jiading, and Tianjin, the three coastal cities of Guangzhou, Jiading, and Tianjin, the coastal railways were built on a large scale, and in addition, a railway that started from Tianjin and passed through Yanjing and Zhangjiakou to Suiyuan City, and finally reached the fishing sea. It is planned to open to traffic within five years, and at that time, it will only take about two and a half days to start from Tianjin and reach Yuerhai. In addition, the railway from Jiading to Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, has also been surveyed, and the railway from Jiading to Xi'an has also begun to be built.

In the south, Annam has been connected to the railway of Guangzhou, and it only takes about a day for all kinds of minerals mined by Annam to reach Guangzhou through Annam. The construction of domestic railway lines alone is enough to absorb the former Manchu officers and soldiers and White Lotus cultists who have defected to Chengcheng.

It has to be said that Liang Pengfei's proposal has been highly praised and unanimously approved by the cabinet.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this stage, the situation of the country has stabilized, under the strong military force, and the two-sided attack of the Huairou policy, those former Manchu officers and soldiers who originally supported the army and sat and watched, the White Lotus sect, have already understood that the general trend has gone, and the land of China is no longer the stage for their performances, they will either give in wisely, submit to the leadership of the Chinese Empire, lay down their arms, and accept the reorganization, or they will only have a dead end.

Today, most of the supporters of the army have already been in contact with the envoys sent by the Chinese Empire, and for some of these speculators who put their personal interests completely above the interests of the state and the nation, Liang Pengfei's instructions are that it is the best choice to rebel against his subordinates through other means, so that this guy can't even get a toothpick.

And Yang Yuchun, the Shaanxi Governor who first negotiated with Liang Pengfei, was reappointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Gan-Shaanxi Military Sub-district and concurrently served as the commander of the 151st Division of the Gan-Shaanxi Field Army. Today, Shaanxi is stationed in three reorganized divisions, the 151st Division, the 152nd Division, and the 153rd Division.

The 151st Division, together with the 92nd Division, was stationed in Xi'an, the 152nd Division was stationed in Hanzhongfu, and the 153rd Division was stationed in Xing'an, firmly monitoring Funing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, who were stationed at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu.

And now, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Funing, is still holding the flag, among all the White Lotus cultists and remnants of the army who have not yet surrendered and accepted the reorganization, Funing is the strongest, he has an army of 80,000, based on the border of the three provinces, and the rear has Gansu as its backing.

This Fu asked for the autonomy of Gansu and wanted to be a local overlord, but now, the pressure on the Quartet is increasing, and his rear Gansu, which has begun to waver because of the threat from Shaanxi.

At least three generals and one general have expressed their willingness to lead their troops to abandon the darkness and throw themselves into the warm embrace of the Chinese Empire.

It is believed that it will not be long before the Manchu appointed governor of Shaanxi and Gansu will recognize the reality and obediently hand over his command.

Located on the eastern side of the Urals, in the south of the Western Siberian Plain, at the junction of the Ishim Plain and the Barabba steppe, in 1716, Lieutenant Colonel Bukhorets of the Tsarist Army established the Omsk Fortress at the confluence of the Om and Irtysh rivers, laying the beginning of the development of the Omsk Fortress, one of the oldest cities in Siberia.

And around Omsk, nomadic peoples of Ukrainian, Kazakh, and Mongol descent, make the city much more useful as a military fortress than as a city.

By the second half of the century, the Omsk fortress gradually became the largest city in the Russian Empire east of the Ural Mountains. At most, it is the largest city, and the actual population does not exceed 150,000.

And now, the 30,000 Russian expeditionary force led by Russian Marshal Rumyantsev has arrived here...... －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
