Compared with the Minister of Agriculture, who did not know much about the war, the questions raised by professionals like the Minister of the Navy Liu Buyun were much more specific and targeted, "Führer, although it is unlikely that the European powers will directly intervene, but we still need to make preparations in advance, we conceal the firepower configuration of the Yanping Fortress, although we have succeeded in siniting the Americans, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the European powers. In particular, the United Kingdom, which had previously guaranteed the neutrality of the Canal Zone, had broken our promises, and now King Edward VII and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain must have been very angry.

"We have always kept our original promises, how can we ever break them? Yanping Fortress is just a translation of the name, she is actually the Bolivarian Fortress of the Republic of Colombia! It was also the Colombian First Fortress Brigade that counterattacked, not our Chinese army, well, there were some Chinese soldiers in it, but it was the instructor we sent to help at the request of our allies! Li Hui said nonsense with his eyes open.

However, on the surface, I really can't find fault with this, the so-called Colombian First Fortress Brigade is really dominated by Colombians in terms of numbers, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Colombian army, although the part of the fort is all from China, and the combat effectiveness is also determined by them, but now such a phenomenon is very common in the world, if Western countries want to blame China for this, then first withdraw their own soldiers stationed in vassal countries!

As for the actual firepower of the Yanping Fortress, which far exceeds the data released to the public, it is a clumsy method that the Republic of Colombia has to adopt because it is afraid of the invasion of the United States, and the Americans have indeed invaded on a large scale, does this just show that they were prescient?

"Well, it is impossible to fool the British with these words, but at least it can give the British government a step down, the vassal countries do this and we do it ourselves, the nature is different, and the current British government is very different from ten years ago, they are afraid that they still wish that we would fight with the United States, it is better to lose both, so direct intervention is impossible, at least not in the early stage of the war." , Li Hui restrained his smile and began to carefully analyze it to his ministers, "As for those countries on the European continent, as long as Britain does not make a move, they will not move, at most they will sell some arms, which will have a limited impact on us, because the arms produced by the United States itself are enough, and they are not so ......bad."

Liu Buyun immediately reminded, "You seem to have missed a country - Tsarist Russia, although the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is not very good, but after all, they have a population of more than 100 million and an army of more than one million, and their industrial scale is not much worse than ours, if they can get economic support from the United States, it is still enough to pose a threat, especially if we are still at war with the United States at the same time......

"Zixiang can rest assured, Tsarist Russia is just a giant with feet of clay, its army is more vulnerable than you think, especially after the inflow of foreign capital in the past few years caused a deformed prosperity, the corruption of the Tsarist government is even more than before, even if the return of funds in the past few years has led to an economic crisis in Russia, those aristocrats and bureaucrats have not relented at all, the workers and peasants at the lower level of Russia have long complained, where does the morale of the army dominated by workers and peasants come from? If we take the initiative to attack Russia, then the Russian people may still resist stubbornly because of the long-formed patriotic tradition, which will be very troublesome, but if Tsarist Russia takes the initiative to provoke the war and suffers a crushing defeat, hehe, with the tradition of this country, when it is defeated on the battlefield, the legitimacy of the regime will be widely questioned, and the careerists below will inevitably be ready to move, and the people will abandon such an incompetent monarch. Remember, Russia's leaders can be brutal, but they must not be incompetent! Li Hui couldn't help but sneer when he said this, "Once there is civil strife, the tsar will either cede land and pay reparations to end the war in order to free up his hands to suppress the revolution, or he will continue to bear it with us, and as a result, he will fall by himself, and when the time comes, the world in Russia will be in chaos, and we can easily double the old debts that the Russians owed us before!" ”

Seeing that Li Hui knew Tsarist Russia so well, Liu Buyun couldn't say anything more, so he could only remind him a little about the details, "I really can't imagine that you have thought about it so thoughtfully, but the war preparations still have to be done, if you wait until the Russians make a move before transferring troops, then the initial losses will be great." ”

"Don't worry, it's been ready for a long time, in fact, since the founding of the country, we have been in a quasi-war state with Russia, and Vladivostok is still blocked by us!" When Li Hui heard this, he smiled confidently, "Even if the Trans-Siberian Railway is completed, Tsarist Russia will do its best to transport personnel and materials to the northeast, at most it can only maintain the daily expenses of 500,000 troops, if it launches an attack, as long as its first wave of offensive is thwarted, then Tsarist Russia may not even be able to support the attack of 200,000 people, after all, the sea route has been broken, and it is still very difficult to rely on a railway, especially the bad climate in Siberia, many times it cannot be opened to traffic normally." ”

"Führer, you mean to play a defensive counterattack? Didn't you just say that the Tsarist army was vulnerable? Liu Buyun suddenly didn't understand.

Li Hui shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly and said, "The Russian army is indeed vulnerable, but it can't stand up to Russia's big territory!" In particular, their core territory is too far away from us, even if our troops can advance to the Urals, Russia will not be broken, as long as the United States provides strong assistance, it may not be able to force it to sue for peace. And if we really want to fight that far, logistics supplies alone can drag us to death, unless our army's combat effectiveness exceeds that of the Russian army by dozens of times, and they are also old powers, no matter how weak they are, they won't be rotten to this point, right? Such an opportunity will only arise if there is civil strife in Tsarist Russia, and if there is civil strife in Tsarist Russia, we must not push too hard, which may lead to the Russians being bent on resisting our attack......"

"And if it is an internal operation, then the logistical difficulties will become the Russians, and we will be able to eliminate more Russian troops with smaller losses, anyway, there is no industry in the border area between the two countries, and a Mohe gold mine is slightly more important, and it is still bearable to lose some pastures and forest farms in a short period of time. After the massive annihilation of the living forces of the Russian army, we can launch a limited counteroffensive on the ground, but before the civil strife in Russia, we will only push back to the Baikal area on the eastern front at most, and the western front will only fight back to Lake Balkhash ......"
