After Dragomilov arrived in Krasnoyarks, he began to reorganize military affairs. Originally, these Tsarist Russian troops in the Far East were resistant to the sudden change of generals, and no one expected that Skobelev would be removed by Alexander III, although the Far East's record in recent years was very unsatisfactory, and he almost lost most of the territory of the empire, but how much responsibility should Skobelev bear, at least in the eyes of these soldiers in the Far Eastern theater, there is no merit and hard work, even if he is punished, it should not be so heavy.

Alexander III also knew that these soldiers in the Far East were Skobelev's old subordinates, who followed him to fight in Central Asia and Turkey, and ordinary people were airdropped there, and it was likely that they did not even know how to die. But even so, the Tsar believed that Dragomilov could handle the matter, and Alexander III gave him ten divisions, totaling more than 100,000 men, to follow him to the front. The second is Dragomilov's connections and prestige in the Russian Imperial military, although he did not really participate in many battles, but the post of head of the General Staff represents the forces behind him.

Now there are more than 300,000 troops on the Far Eastern front, which is not too much, but in fact, with the strength of Tsarist Russia, it is completely possible to send more troops, even if it is a million. The problem is that millions of people are fed by horses, that is, the lives of Tsarist Russian soldiers are no longer valuable, but under the gathering of sand into a tower, the backward productive forces of the Russian Empire cannot afford it. The original 300,000 yuan is already the limit, and if there are natural disasters such as floods, or if the northeast increases attacks on logistics lines, these more than 300,000 people will also go hungry. Later, thanks to Alexander III, who was forced by the northeast, to build the half of the railway, the logistics situation has been greatly improved, even half of it is better than nothing. And half of the half also has the advantage of half of the half, the airship troops in the northeast cannot fly such a long distance to attack railway transport. Of course, there is no need for the Northeast to do this, in the era when there is no detection radar, any airship is invisible, and even with paratroopers has the ability to be elusive. The logistics lines of the Russian Empire were tormented to death by them, and they could not be bothered.

In general, although Dragomilov also encountered some personnel problems in the Far East, he was not strict, and the military spirit was quickly stabilized. Then he arranged several more attacks on the defense line of the Northeast Insurance Team, and although it did not achieve much success, it gradually eased the controversy within the army. The officers and soldiers also began to accept the fact that Dragomilov had taken over, and as for the remaining diehards of Skobelev, he was not polite, and the high-ranking ones were sent back to St. Petersburg, where his cronies took over. If it is not important, it will be directly demoted, enter the front-line troops, and become the role of cannon fodder.

Dragomilov's military doctrine is indeed very suitable for the current situation of the Tsarist army, with great emphasis on the role of spiritual bravery and strength, even in the face of complete superior firepower in the northeast. Only a warrior can win a war, and a brave and strong heart cannot be stopped by strong fortifications. Fighting for one's life was Dragomilov's central military philosophy, but after a few skirmishes with the northeast, he suddenly found that the other side seemed to be too hard.

The fighting between the Northeast Autonomous Region and the Russian Empire was always in a dynamic process, and the army of the Northeast had fought as far west as Barnaul on the west bank of the Ob River, only to be driven back by the Russian counterattack. How to say that the Russian Empire has an absolute advantage in the number of troops, while the Northeast is far superior to each other in weapons and equipment.

When Zheng Haitao and Xiang Long met before last winter, they decided to make changes to the battlefield that had been stalemate for almost two years. The conditions for such a change in the Northeast are simple: as long as the railroad extends to the front line of the battlefield, then the front line must continue to advance. Now the current general base in the Northeast has the support of two railways, one is to force the Qing court to agree to build a railway, the original departure station is going to be placed in Beijing, but the Qing court has never agreed, probably afraid that Zheng Haitao in the north will happily take the train and wave his troops south, and directly take the Qing court's lair. Later, after several consultations, it was changed to Zhangjiakou.

The railway passed through Erenhot, the economic lifeline of Outer Mongolia controlled by the Celestial Empire, through Ulaanbaatar, Ulan-Ude, and finally arrived at Irkutsk. The other starts from Shengjing and leads through the Guò Northeast Railway network, passing through Manchuria, Chita, and also to Ulan-Ude, and finally to Irkutsk.

Wang Yi was very relieved of Zheng Haitao and Xiang Long, and the only requirement was not to follow the old path of Napoleon I, and the logistics must keep up. The Northeast has an absolute advantage in battlefield distance, and the current method is enough for the Northeast to turn the advantage into victory. He didn't directly ask about the things of the front-line command, at most, the General Staff gave some guiding opinions, and Xiang Long and Zheng Haitao would not be polite if there were requirements from the front, and would definitely put them forward directly.

After Xiang Long returned to Vladivostok, he began to plan this military operation, which was divided into two parts.

The Northern Route Army, which consisted of the 15th and 16th Cavalry Divisions and the 9th Infantry Division, secretly used the North Sea Fleet to go north to Okhotsk, then take the only railway section in the north of the Autonomous Region to Handga, and then travel southwest along the Lena River to Kilensk, north of Lake Baikal. After a short rest, they moved west along the north bank of the Angara River, and the target of the attack was Lesosibilsk.

The Southern Route Army, consisting of three cavalry divisions and two infantry divisions, reached Ulaanbaatar with the help of a railway network, and then headed west through Bulgan and Uriya Sutai, stopping to rest and await orders. Once Zheng Haitao gave the order, they would attack in the northwest direction, and the goal was to attack the back of the entire Tsarist army and outflank their rear roads.

However, the first to attack the whole plan was the old opponent of the Tsarist Russian army, Zheng Haitao's Western Route Army. Their main task was to attract the attention of the entire Tsarist front, but the timing of the attack had to be sudden and hidden. And a fierce clash with the Japanese in Ezo in June provided just such an opportunity. Xiang Long ordered the entire North Sea Fleet to be dispatched and put on a posture of fighting to the death with the Japanese. The eyes of East Asia converged here in an instant, and the world's intelligence community began to exchange intensively.

At the critical juncture when the people of Northeast China were rushing to seize the beach for the Japanese fishing boats, and the ordinary Japanese people were afraid of large-scale retaliation in Northeast China, no one expected that at this juncture, Xiang Long and Zheng Haitao, who had been planning for a long time, suddenly flashed the cold butcher knives in their hands to the Tsarist Russian army.
