The snow is heavier at night, and the winter snow seems to be the most common thing for the Northeast, and the heavy snow that is flying all over the sky seems to be the unique atmosphere of winter in the north. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was on this night of snowflakes that Tang Haoran had insomnia, or rather, there was no trace of sleepiness at all, for him, now, he didn't even know what sleep was, and there were heavier problems waiting for him to make a decision.

Sitting alone in the study, looking out the window at the snowflakes flying in the dark night, he thought. Thinking about the future, hesitating about the fateful choice.

In fact, it's like a gambler at a table hesitating to "go all-in".

Win or lose!

This choice is so tangled! It can be said that for Tang Haoyan, in the past ten years, he has never made such a similar decision.

Gambler!

Although Japan was regarded as a gambler in later studies, they successfully won two bets and established their status as a great power. Later generations even used their gambler psychology to comment on their gambling losses for the third time, and even ridiculed their incompetence.

In this era, Tang Haoran, as a local leader, deeply felt the helplessness of being a gambler, more precisely, the helplessness of being a "backward and weak country", no one can afford to look down on himself if he does not make a big gamble!

More precisely, no country will respect a weak country.

In the past few years, although Britain has conditionally agreed to give up its extraterritoriality in the Northeast, or to agree to the introduction of tariff surcharges in the Northeast, this seems to be behind the country's elevation, but in fact it does not have much significance. However, it was only an adjustment made by Britain according to its strategic needs. If China. To be more precise, the Northeast cannot show its value, and the so-called status improvement can suddenly be beaten back to its original shape.

In this era of white superiority, China, as a person of color, wants to stand again in the world forest, and must make a name for itself through war, otherwise it will never be able to win true respect. Not to mention respect, even equal dialogue rights are difficult to obtain, even those European diplomats keep saying what respect and equality is. But in fact, when facing the yellow race, they still have a sense of superiority in their bones.

And this is why you can only make one gamble!

A big gamble on the fortunes of the country.

Behind the gambler's heart, full of helplessness and more risks that are not controlled by others, Tang Haoran is full of hesitation, he knows that once a decision is made, then this chariot will have only one result - run at any cost, either win the war or lose the last trace of wealth!

If we can win this war. Then from then on, the Chinese will be able to raise their eyebrows in front of Westerners. China will turn from a meat on the board to a wolf of the jungle, and it can its own prey in this era of the law of the jungle, but if it fails...... That's nothing!

"It seems that I have no other choice!"

If you miss this opportunity, it will only be more difficult in the future!

Although the Northeast has surpassed Russia in terms of steel, coal and other industrial indices, according to the analysis of the Intelligence Bureau, Russia's overall military strength is still far stronger than that of the Northeast, but because of its limited forces in the Far East and the difficulty of supply, in fact, the Northeast now presents an overwhelming advantage over Russia.

However, because the Trans-Siberian Railway is about to be completed, only the less than 1,000-kilometer-long route around Lake Baikal remains unfinished, and if the railway is completed, Russia's military disadvantage in the Far East will be fundamentally reversed.

In another time and space, faced with the same problem, Japan categorically chose to start the war by surprise attack before its railroad was completed, and after the war began, the well-prepared and geographically advantageous Japanese army did take the initiative and defeated the Russian army in a row. The pressure of the war forced the Russian side to rush to work, and on July 13, 1904, the Trans-Siberian Railway was forcibly opened. It was on the basis of that half-impenetrable railway that Russia mobilized a large number of troops from Europe to the Far Eastern front in a short period of time, and finally surpassed the Japanese army in terms of strength, thus partially reversing the defeat and, more precisely, the collapse of the Far East.

And now, the same choice has fallen on you, should you bet everything and make this big gamble, or continue to wait?

"Bet! It's nothing more than winning or losing! ”

Although he said this, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although in the past few years, he has gambled several times, and it is no less than "big gambling" to outsiders, but that kind of "big gamble" has enough confidence, in fact, Tang Haoran has always been very cautious about using the diplomatic situation for his own use, and the gambling he carried out is also within the scope of "controllable", and even he still rejects "big gambling", but in the end didn't he still choose this path?

But now, in the face of this last chance, there seems to be a consensus within the Northeast. All that remains is to implement the plans developed over the past few years, to mobilize the troops, and to implement them as planned.

"Hey!"

Standing up, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh, what is the biggest sigh in the past few years?

I am afraid that the environment of this era has been pushing me to embark on a road that I am not willing to take, and this first road is full of too many uncertain factors, and the choice of gambling on the fortune of the country is too difficult to do.

Yes, it is too difficult, in another time and space, the goal sought by the Japanese can be described as very "limited", and now, the goal sought by the Northeast is too "ambitious", and this "lofty goal" requires more efforts from the Northeast and needs to make Russia pay a heavier price before it can be obtained, and this means that the war between the Northeast and Russia, although it is not a life-and-death war, is actually not far behind.

Compared with the goal of "huge war", can the Northeast be able to accomplish that goal? Wouldn't it be too risky to be too "ambitious" compared to strength?

"Knock, knock, knock......"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the study, and the knock interrupted Tang Haoran's thoughts. Pulled him back from the chaos of his thoughts.

"Come in."

Tang Haoran's voice seemed a little irritable. There is even some uneasiness. Although he knew that he had no other choice, he was still troubled by this "national fortune bet" war.

After all, if you have accumulated so many belongings, if you break them...... When the time comes, will this price be too great?

Shen Jingxian pushed the door and walked into the study, and from his voice, she could feel the boredom and worry in his heart. From the day she married him, she knew that he was carrying too many responsibilities and burdens in the past few years. That burden has never been lightened.

"It's so late! Why don't you rest? ”

Finding the melancholy between her husband's eyebrows, Shen Jingxian didn't seem to see it, but just looked at him with a smile.

"Aren't you too?"

Tang Haoran looked at the woman who walked in, she had been standing behind her for nearly ten years and silently supporting herself in her way, looking at his wife, a smile appeared on his face, although the smile was a bit far-fetched, he didn't want to pass the pressure on his family.

"There's still a little bit of work to sort out. Jingxian! Rest early! ”

"Hmmm! That...... You have to take care of your body! Or...... I'll make you a cup of coffee! ”

Shen Jingxian said softly that as a woman, she knew that what her beloved man was thinking was not something she could help, and the only thing she could do was what a woman should do. Be a good wife. As for the rest, well. As his wife, these are things she shouldn't be involved in.

Of course, Tang Haoran did not refuse his wife's request, but when he brought the coffee, he told him to rest early. However, for his wife's request to rest early, Tang Haoran could only smile helplessly, and now, it was not time to go to bed. Perhaps, after this decision is made, for a long time to come, I will not have time to sleep, or even have the mind to sleep, and at that time, the entire Northeast will enter another state - a wartime state.

A few minutes later, while drinking coffee, Tang Haoran looked at a report taken out of the safe, which was a battle plan involving the army and navy at the army and navy meeting, and when formulating this plan, Tang Haoran himself also gave certain suggestions, of course, his suggestions were more from a strategic point of view.

“…… The core of the land battle plan is to completely resolve the threat posed by the Russian army to us in the Far East Primorsky region through a "Sedang-style annihilation war" before St. Petersburg responds, and after the objectives of the first phase of land warfare are achieved, the second phase of the battle plan can be implemented......"

This operational plan, which took 10 years and was produced through constant discussion and research, is divided into four stages, each of which has its own clear offensive objectives and targets, and unlike the operational plans of other countries, the operational objectives of these four stages are very clear -- to completely smash the Russian army's resistance on land through three "Sedang-style annihilation wars."

In fact, the core of it is to mobilize the "heavy fist" from the very beginning, to crush the resistance of the Russians before they can react, after all, compared to the Northeast, Russia's national strength is stronger, and the Northeast must weaken its power as much as possible before it can fully realize the country's potential.

Just like Germany in World War I and World War II, if there is no war, it will be enough, and under the First World War, it will devote all its strength to fight for a time when the war starts, since it will completely disintegrate the resistance of the other side, so as to lay a solid foundation for the victory of the war.

However, in the end, Germany, which had won one brilliant victory after another in the early stages of the war, finally failed! It seems that in every war, Russia's has an inexhaustible war potential.

Now, can you succeed?

More precisely, is it possible to win this war?

For Tang Haoran, the victory he is seeking is not just a Japanese victory, but a real victory! A victory that would allow Russia to make substantial concessions at the negotiating table.

In the next few hours, Tang Haoran has been looking at the thick battle plan in his hand, seriously and repeatedly scrutinizing every link in the landing navy's battle plan, if in the past ten years, in addition to the modern military system brought to the northeast by the German army, the more important point is that the northeast has learned how to formulate a battle plan.

This battle plan is as precise as a clock, completely inheriting the German "precision", just like the precision of Schlieffen's plan, the precise plan allows Tang Haoran to intuitively understand the entire battlefield situation, but deep down, he can't help but be a little worried.

Wouldn't the plan be too precise?

Will an overly precise plan constrain the troops, and if they fail to make use of the "time gap" to accomplish the phased objectives as planned, will it affect the next stage of the operation, and then affect the outcome of the entire war?

Looking at the information in his hand, Tang Haoran's brows were locked and sometimes loosened.

Slowly, Tang Haoran's face showed some smiles, this thick stack of battle plans, he had never looked so carefully and seriously as he did today, and carefully scrutinized every link in the battle plan.

Without exception, every link is very detailed, and more importantly, each link has a guarantee - technology!

Of course, in addition to technology, I am afraid that it is the Northeast Army's "general warfare" concept formulated from the very beginning, and this kind of advanced strategic awareness is enough to make the Northeast invincible in this war.

When Tang Haoran closed the battle plan again, he looked at the time, and it was already five o'clock in the morning. It seemed that he had found some confident Tang Haoran, and the whole person seemed a little excited.

So he immediately picked up the phone, the phone was directly connected to the special line of the army staff, and at the time when the phone was connected, Tang Haoran gave the order to implement the plan in extremely calm words.

"We will win the respect of the world with the sharpness of our swords!"

When he hung up the phone, Tang Haoran's expression looked a little solemn, he knew that there was no room for regret now, from the moment this order was issued, the Northeast was about to enter a wartime state, and the forces of the entire Northeast would be subordinated to the needs of the "overall war", and the Northeast would mobilize every force in the next dozens of days to win the victory of this war, so as to win the future of the country!

Of course, he will also use his own sword to regain all the glory that he once lost! (To be continued.) )
