After the war with the Northeast in the past few years, Skobelev deserves to be a high-level military talent, at least in terms of keeping pace with the times, he is not willing to be left behind. The chain of command for the defense of the position had already begun to use the wired telegraph, and even partly the wired telephone as the main medium of communication, and the military band was only used during the offensive. Of course, it is completely necessary to change the offensive mode of the entire army like the Northeast Insurance Team, unless Tsarist Russia also develops a radio station that is sufficiently usable, otherwise it is still just a delusion. As for the coordinated operation of the ground and air, Lev did not even dare to think about it.

Milyugin did not know much about the combat methods of the Northeast insurance team, and then Skobelev gave him a detailed explanation. Although there are inevitably some rigid things in it, or it is all his own understanding, the stimulation for Milyugin is also huge.

"Sure enough, it is extremely fast, and the command efficiency is so high, I am afraid that it has already surpassed the world." Milyugin took a long breath and calmed his feelings. "Not to mention our army, even Germany, which is now known as the world's first army, cannot be compared with the Northeast Insurance Team in terms of the efficiency of the command system."

"I feel the same way! The Northeast Army seems to have been born with such a talent, and with the advent of new equipment and new technologies, they can always quickly find a good way to play their role. When talking about his thoughts, Skobelev finally showed his professional side, swept away his previous depression, and his eyes turned from cloudy to bright.

Milyugin saw it in his eyes, but secretly sighed in his heart, he understood that the Skobelev in front of him was not really decadent, but had been in a war with no hope of victory for a long time, worrying day and night, exhausting his energy, making him haggard. The growing strength of the Northeast Insurance Team, coupled with the weakness of his own assistance, compared to the two, the huge pressure made him a little unable to bear.

"Regarding the development of the radio station, I will find someone to help in the country, and it would be better if I could seize some physical objects."

Skobelev was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway. "It's a bit difficult, the Northeast protects these kinds of items very tightly, and even if they can be captured, most of them will be destroyed by their soldiers."

"Do your best!"

"Yes!"

"The current railway from St. Petersburg has been repaired to Yekaterinburg." Milyugin suddenly changed the subject and talked about his own logistics.

Now the main battlefield between the Northeast and Tsarist Russia is in the Teschet region. The general logistics base of Tsarist Russia was in Krasnoyarks, an important city on the banks of the Yenisei River. From here to St. Petersburg, the capital of Tsarist Russia, it is longer than the distance from Taiwan to the northernmost tip of Xinjiang, and the center of Tsarist Russia is still in Europe, so the whole supply difficulty can be imagined.

Skobelev nodded and said, "Most of my journey back to St. Petersburg was on this railway. The time is shortened by more than a week or two compared to the previous overland route, so why not continue to build the railway to the east? With the railway, we will have more dominance over the eastern territories! ”

Milyugin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Skobelev was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that the imperial finances could not afford the construction of the railway.

"For the sake of this railway, the empire has been unable to make ends meet, and His Majesty has also made the best efforts. Originally, I wanted to increase the tax rate, but ordinary civilians made a lot of trouble, and if a group of people were arrested, there would be big problems if they were arrested again. ”

Today, Krasnoyarks is now supplied by this railway, and after reaching Yekaterinburg, it is divided into two by land to Tobolsk. One is to go north along the Tobol River into the Ob River, then down the river to the southeast of Guò and the Yenisei River before arriving at Krasnoyarks. The other is to follow the Irtysh River southeast to Omsk, and then take a short overland route east into the tributaries of the Ob River, thus reaching Krasnoyarks. No matter which of these two goes, the road is very long, and it is difficult to replenish them. And once there is a flood in the Ob River, the supply of the front line will be basically cut off, and this kind of thing has not happened, and at that time it can only be dealt with by consuming the accumulation of the past. For the already inferior Tsarist army, it was tantamount to adding insult to injury.

In winter, although supplies are not cut off by floods as in summer, blizzards, freezing, and unbearable cold, even wild wolves and black bears, all the time tormenting the logistics teams running around the supply lines.

"Although there are difficulties in the country now, I still hope that this railway can be extended as much as possible, and if it is repaired for one more kilometer, the lives of the soldiers on the front line will be more secured, and our hope of defending the territory will also be increased."

Milyugin did not say anything, he knew much more about the shape of the country than Skobelev, and the whole country seemed to be put on a powder keg all at once because of this railway. The slightest carelessness in policy will lead to a situation that no one wants to see in the entire empire.

"What is the situation in the Northeast, and how are they resupplying?"

Milyugin suddenly wanted to know the situation of his opponent, and maybe there was something to learn from.

"Unlike when Napoleon I attacked us, the Northeast does not seem to be in a hurry to end the war with us in a moment." Skobelev organized his own words. "They're fighting war, they're building infrastructure at the same time. Roads, railways, docks, and so-called air ports. They stand on a geographical advantage, coupled with the crazy construction of the Northeast government, we are far behind our opponents in terms of logistics. ”

"Geographically, the Northeast does have an advantage."

"Not only that, the Northeast Autonomous Region has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the output of steel and cement has increased substantially every year, judging from the various new weapons that they emerge every year, in terms of industry, whether it is precision machinery, shipbuilding, communication systems, or new energy based on electricity, they are completely ahead of us, and in some respects even in the forefront of the world."

Hearing this, Milyugin suddenly raised his head with a hint of shock in his eyes. Looking at the subordinates in front of him, who couldn't be more familiar, but today it seems a little unfamiliar. There is a saying in China, called: Shibei should be impressed for three days. Milyugin shouldn't know, but is this still Skobelev?

Although in Tsarist Russia, Skobelev was also a general, and also had his own military theory of war. That is to use slaughter to deter the enemy's psychology, and the more you kill, the more peaceful it is! But this can't hide the fact that he is actually a butcher. In the face of a more powerful enemy, such a person is simply useless.

Skobelev has changed, no longer confined to the battle itself, but has focused on the more essential issue of national warfare, that is, national strength.
