Wang Sirui delayed the outbreak of the war until after the beginning of spring, although from the point of view of the agreement, this was already a breach of contract, because after the beginning of spring, it was about half a year later than the agreed time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although considering the specific situation on the Russian side, it is indeed a good choice to choose the outbreak of war after the beginning of spring, and it is also extremely beneficial to the Chinese Empire.

The present British, regardless of the superiority of the Chinese Empire in this, are only concerned with whether the war will attract the attention of Russia.

Although the Chinese Empire also put great pressure on Britain and France, compared to Russia, the Chinese Empire is located in the Far East after all, while Russia, which is located in Europe, has a lot of moves in Europe, and the Russians have been secretly plotting to swallow up those European countries that are adjacent to the territory of the Russian Empire.

What's worse is that because of the recent ambitions of the Germans, Britain and France have had to distract their attention, and under the constraints of various circumstances, Britain and France have lax their control of the Russians.

If a war could be used to drag the Russians to the Far East, the pressure on Britain and France in Europe would be drastically reduced.

What was the cause of the first Russo-Japanese war in history? Did the Japanese just want to go to war with the Russians? Although the war ended with a Japanese victory, the Japanese won at a terrible cost.

In fact, the initiation of the Russo-Japanese War was a subsidiary treaty in the Anglo-Japanese alliance entente, but this subsidiary treaty was not included in the official jump, and it was a secret consensus between the two sides.

On the other hand, in order to be able to sign an alliance with the British and thus gain more support, and the Japanese also urgently need to show Japan's strength in the world, among these old powers, only the Russians are the most suitable.

Because the Russian territory straddles the Eurasian continent, and the Far East Railway has not yet been built, the Russians do not have enough troops in the Far East, so even if there is a war, the Russians will not be able to get any support for at least half a year. As for the Russian Navy, the Japanese Navy is not a vegetarian, and after the war against the Beiyang Fleet, the Japanese Navy's self-confidence can be said to have been extremely inflated, and they also have full confidence to stop the Russian Navy fleet.

But in this life, because of the sudden rise of the Chinese Empire, coupled with a long period of subconscious assimilation, the British began to have more choices.

As a result, there was a voice of appeasement in Britain, that is, to temporarily meet the needs of the Chinese Empire, to help the Chinese Empire build a navy sufficient for self-protection, and to encourage them to vigorously develop the army. At the same time, to help the Japanese develop a more powerful navy, so that the Japanese navy could always maintain a threat to the maritime power of the Chinese Empire.

The army of the Chinese Empire and the navy of the Japanese Empire could be separated from each other to confront the Russians, so that they could be guaranteed to drag the Russians to the Far East, and that one of the Japanese and the Chinese Empire would not be so strong as to threaten the interests of the British.

And this is the reason why three years ago, the British only promised to build naval warships with a total tonnage of no more than 40,000 tons for the Chinese Empire, in their opinion, the total naval volume of 40,000 tons can basically meet the requirements of self-preservation, plus the constraints of the British Navy, this is enough for the Chinese Empire.

After helping the Chinese Empire build warships, the British built warships with a total tonnage of more than 50,000 tons for the Japanese, including a former dreadnought built by the British themselves, which was originally not intended to be given to the Japanese, but the British realized that the former dreadnought had fallen behind before the trial voyage, so they could only sell it to the Japanese at a high price. That's a battleship, in the whole of Asia, which country has a battleship? Even the Japanese themselves, until now there is not a single battleship in the true sense of the word.

"Your Excellency, I am afraid that I will not be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the country with this reply." Sa Daoyi pretended to be embarrassed.

Although it is difficult to accept the delay of the war, it is not unacceptable considering that Russia is now in a cold and snowy place, and it is difficult for people to walk on it, let alone fight.

But they are Britain, the boss of this world, the hegemon. The Chinese privately postponed the war, and on another level, this is also challenging the authority of the British, of course, what the British can do is to say two words, after all, they still need to count on the Chinese Empire to compete with the Russians.

The Japanese Navy was ready to follow the Russian Navy as soon as it left the port, preventing them from approaching the coastal areas of the Chinese Empire.

Although the Japanese were also reluctant, there was no way, who let this be an order from the British? At most, the Japanese are secretly doing something.

"Mr. Ambassador, I can only apologize to you and the British, now it is freezing and snowy on the Russian side, the temperature is dozens of degrees below zero, the soldiers will not be able to adapt to the environment there after they pass, and even the transport horses will most likely be frozen to death there, the Empire cannot bear this fearless sacrifice, so we can only move the time to after the beginning of spring.

Of course, turning the war back is not just about the soldiers, the Empire also needs to think about how to maximize the results.

In order to show the sincerity of the empire, the empire originally planned to invest more than 90,000 troops in one army to this war, but after more preparation period, the empire will invest the strength of two armies into this war, and as far as I know, the total strength of the Russian Far East Army seems to be only 100,000 nods, and they still have to defend those cities, and they can really put into the battle, I am afraid that there are not even 70,000 people. Wang Shizhen explained solemnly.

The war, which was originally intended to be fought after the beginning of spring, is now only a fool to wage war in winter.

How did Napoleon defeat Russia? And how did the mustache defeat the USSR? Nima was able to advance 10 kilometers with 100 casualties in the summer and 1,000 casualties in the winter.

This is definitely not alarmist, most of the French and German troops who attacked the Soviet Union were frozen to death.

As everyone knows, when Russia was invaded several times, it launched counteroffensive after counteroffensive, and those battles that became the reversal of the war, all of them were fought in winter.

To tell the truth, if it wasn't the Russian Far East that attacked this time, if the Far East Railway hadn't been completed now, or if Wang Sirui had been killed, he wouldn't have chosen to go to war with the Russians at this time.

Mustache threw five or six million people into the Soviet Union, but in the end they could only flee in defeat, and Wang Sirui was not confident that the Chinese Empire could accomplish what Mustache could not accomplish.

"Is this what your emperor meant?" Sa Daoyi wondered if the more troops the Chinese Empire committed, the more it would be able to focus the Russians' attention on the Far East.

In fact, the British have accepted the Chinese's request to postpone the war, but the British do not want the Russians to lose too badly, and the two sides had better fight to the death in the Far East, otherwise, what will the British do to control them?

"Yes, our Emperor can give your country a clear reply, and before next winter comes, the attention of the Russians will be all about the Far East." Wang Shizhen nodded in certainty.

This time, the Chinese Empire was indeed preparing to send two armies to attack Russia, but unfortunately, these two armies were not the two infantry armies in the British impression, but an infantry corps composed of more than 90,000 men, and an armored corps composed of 81,000 men.

Two years, the empire spent two full years, and the arsenals in Beiping and Luoyang were running at full capacity, producing 24 hours a day, and now this armored army is equipped with 80 percent of the equipment, although the equipment is still not enough, but the combat effectiveness of the armored army cannot be underestimated.

Taken together, these three divisions alone have nearly 900 Boar tanks and hundreds of armored reconnaissance vehicles, and these steel torrents alone can easily crush the Russian Far Eastern Army.

With the expansion of the Luoyang Arsenal, in the next year, the Luoyang Arsenal alone will be able to reach the output of 1,000 tanks a year. One armored corps a year, at this rate, I am afraid that all countries in the world can only sigh.

Sa Daoyi nodded, but finally made their request: "Your Excellency, I will relay the situation of your country to the country, but I hope that our countries can form an observation group and enter the territory of Russia with your army. ”

Wang Shizhen frowned, secretly happy in his heart, they were going to find a way to get Britain, France, the United States and Germany and other countries to send an observation group, otherwise, how could they pull them into the water?

Although Wang Shizhen did not approve of this decision at the beginning, after Wang Sirui's explanation, Wang Shizhen still agreed. It wasn't until Wang Sirui said the real reason that Wang Shizhen knew that the emotional emperor was playing a big game of chess, and this game of chess was not just calculating one or two countries, but calculating all the powers in the entire world.

And once the great powers lose their minds, will there be any problems with the rise of the Chinese Empire? Will there be any obstacles to becoming a world power again?

In fact, Wang Sirui has already arranged a place for these observation groups, and the infantry has proven itself, and with last year's equipment innovation, the combat effectiveness of the infantry has also improved by leaps and bounds.

This time, Wang Sirui arranged armored troops for them, of course, armored troops are the most powerful hole cards of the Chinese Empire, and it is not cost-effective to leak in front of the great powers, but as long as they can be dragged into the water, what does it matter if they know?

And when the great powers made the first generation of tanks, the second generation of tanks of the Chinese Empire was estimated to have been installed, as long as they could always maintain the lead, besides, after the outbreak of World War I, the British also used tanks on the battlefield, and it would not be long before the British began to develop tanks, although it was a scum.
