Chapter 328: Impossible

"Impossible? Is this absolutely impossible? At the beginning of the war, you only had a few hundred thousand troops, how could it be possible to increase to 200,000 in just a few months? Aleksayev's face was full of disbelief.

"Your Excellency the General doesn't believe me, then I'll tell you about it. As you said, we did only have a few hundred thousand troops before. However, in the past few months, we have lost 20,000 troops in Jilin, but we have recruited nearly 100,000 new troops in Shandong and other places. So we now have an army of 200,000 people, and that's not counting the army in Korea. Ren Chao explained with a smile.

"Some recruits are just eggs, and they are simply vulnerable." Although Aleksayev was shocked in his heart, he pretended to be indifferent on the surface and said.

"Vulnerable? Don't your Excellency the General know? When I was in Jilin, I only had 80,000 troops in my hands, and among these troops were about 30,000 or 40,000 of the generals' vulnerable recruits. As a result, what was the outcome of the Battle of Jilin, I think Your Excellency the General still remembers it clearly, right? With less than 20,000 men, we annihilated your army of 100,000. Ren Chao said with a sneer.

"This~!" Aleksayev was speechless for a while.

"Then I'll give your Excellency the general a good calculation, how many reinforcements you need to mobilize to win this war." Ren Chao smiled and said, "Two hundred thousand? I can assure you that if you send only 200,000 troops, their results will be no different from your Russian army in the Far East. Three hundred thousand? At best, you can only remain undefeated! Half a million? You need at least half a million troops to have any hope of victory? But there is only a glimmer of hope! You need at least 700,000 additional troops to reinforce the Far East to ensure that you can win this war. But you Russia now has only a million troops, do you dare to transfer all 700,000 troops to the Far East? Ren Chao asked as he stared coldly at Aleksayev.

"This~!" Aleksayev hesitated, and for a moment did not know what to say. Although Aleksayev does not think that the Russian army really needs to mobilize 700,000 troops to defeat the Tiger Army. But if Ren Chao really says so, then the Russian army will need at least 500,000 troops to defeat the Tiger Army. 500,000 troops! This is almost half of the military strength of the Russian army now, did the tsar really dare to throw half of the army into the Far Eastern theater? Take Aleksayev's understanding of the tsar. He didn't dare take the risk.

Ren Chao said and took another sip of tea from the teacup, and after gently putting the teacup down, he continued, "Even if your Tsar really dares to take this risk, have you ever thought about it, your Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been built, and it is thousands of miles away from Europe to the Far East." Your hundreds of thousands of troops must not put on their wings and fly directly to the Far East! But we are waiting for work, and we can annihilate your reinforcements little by little, just like in Jilin. If you come 50,000, we will destroy 50,000, and if you come 100,000, we will kill 100,000. In this way, your hundreds of thousands of troops will only come and die little by little! Hum! You don't have any chance of winning. ”

Aleksayev's face couldn't help but change dramatically when he heard this. After a long time, he reacted and retorted loudly, "But General Ren, don't forget it, in addition to our heroic army, we also have a powerful navy, do you think your naval fleet can withstand the powerful navy of our Tsarist Russia?" ”

"Not bad! Purely in terms of the strength of the navy, your country is stronger than ours. Ren Chao nodded slightly and said, "But your ten-year shipbuilding plan has just begun. As far as I know, your current Pacific Fleet is still very weak, and your main combat power is still concentrated in Europe. Our naval fleet is no match for your entire Russian navy, but it will be more than enough to destroy your Pacific Fleet. I have sent men to closely monitor the movements of your European fleet, as long as your government sends troops to support the Far East. Our fleet will soon go north. Destroy your Pacific Fleet and capture the port of Vladivostok. By that time, your naval fleet will not even have a port of call in the Far East. Why are you fighting us? ”

"General Ren is too confident!" Aleksayev said coldly, "As far as I know, our Pacific Fleet is relatively weak. But compared with your army's Jiaolong fleet, the strength is between the best. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for General Ren to destroy our Pacific Fleet! ”

"Huh!" Ren Chao smiled, smiling with such confidence, "I forgot about it, General Aleksayev has been here for a long time, and I am afraid I don't know the latest news from the outside world." Ren Chao said and stretched out his hand to Ye Feng. Ye Feng nodded, then took out a newspaper from the briefcase in his hand and handed it to Ren Chao.

After Ren Chao took the newspaper, he didn't even read it, and put it directly in front of Aleksayev, "Forget to tell you, our naval fleet has recently launched four more main battleships, two of which are the latest type of battleships with a displacement of about 15,000 tons, and the other two are ironclad ships with a displacement of seven or eight thousand tons. I almost forgot that General Aleksayev is an admiral, and he should be more familiar with the Navy than I am, so how about you take a look at our warships? ”

Aleksayev grabbed the newspaper on the table, read it carefully and knew that what Ren Chao said was true, looking at the muzzle of the black hole hole on the huge photo in the newspaper, Aleksayev was completely desperate, "Four 343 mm main guns, full load displacement of 15,000 tons, more than 400 mm of main armor!" Aleksayev couldn't help but gasp, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can you build such a huge ship in such a short time, and there are two at once, this is absolutely impossible!" Aleksayev shouted in disbelief. Aleksayev, the admiral, is somewhat incompetent, but he also knows more or less about the Navy. He knew very well what it would mean if the Tiger Army really owned two of these huge ships. That means that the Jiaolong Fleet even has the strength to fight with the Russian European fleet, as for the Russian Pacific Fleet, it is impossible to be the opponent of the current Jiaolong Fleet, and if Ren Chao is willing, he can easily destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet.
