"In fact, at present, there is no country or force that can threaten the security of our Huaxia Empire, and the domestic situation is also very stable, so Weichen thinks that there is no need for so many troops to be stationed in the country." Tang Xinghan thought about it for a moment and said. Up to now, the Chinese Empire still had about three million garrisons in the Chinese Empire itself, including vast areas of newly recovered Siberia.

Ren Chao nodded slightly and said, "What Tang Aiqing said is extremely true, with the current domestic situation, there is really no need for us to leave so many troops in the country. However, with the development of the war, further expansion of the army is also inevitable, not only the domestic army needs to be expanded, but the subject countries must also step up the expansion of military warfare, because in order to win the final victory of this war, we need about 20 million troops, if all these troops are drawn from the country, it will seriously affect the domestic economic construction, so we must form as many servant troops as possible to reduce the pressure on the country. In this matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for communicating with the subject countries and drawing more troops from the subject countries into the war. ”

"Weichen Command!" Foreign Minister Liang Yan responded respectfully.

"Initiating the performance of His Majesty, the Governor of Siberia, Wang Weihua, asked His Majesty to approve the war plan against the Aleutian Islands and Alaska." Yang Jichang said respectfully.

"At present, the Americans are massively increasing their troops in Europe and the Middle East, and if our army launches an attack on Alaska, it will reduce the pressure on the Western Front. Do you think that with the forces of Siberia, can you capture Alaska by the way? Ren Chao asked with a stern face.

In June 1741, the Danish explorer Vithas? Vitus Bering led a group of Russian sailors from Siberia in search of the New World. They first discovered the Alaskan continent on July 16, and the otters that grow in Alaskan waters became the biggest discovery of the expedition.

By 1745, Russian hunters had established a solid hunting base in the Aleutian Islands, thus beginning the colonial period of Alaska.

They were followed by British, Spanish, and American explorers, but it was the Russians who really stayed behind to have a heavy influence on Alaska. IN 1784 THEY ESTABLISHED THEIR FIRST PERMANENT SETTLEMENT ON THE SOUTH COAST OF KODIAK. By 1799, their tentacles had extended as far as Sitka on the southeast coast, and Russian sovereignty over Alaska was established. In 1799, the Russo-American Company was opened to impose colonial rule on the local population.

William H. Seward served as Secretary of State to two U.S. Presidents, Lincoln and Johnson. Later in the Civil War, he bought Alaska from Russia for just 2 cents per acre for a total of $7.2 million. The deal was criticized by many Americans at the time, who ridiculed Alaska as "Seward's ice box" and "Seward's foolishness." On October 18, 1867, the American Stars and Stripes were flown in Alaska for the first time. For many years to come, however, the federal government paid little attention to this new territory, except that in 1877 a tax agency was established in SITKA to control about 1.53 million square miles of Alaska and about 40,000 residents. It wasn't until the discovery of gold that things changed.

In 1896, the discovery of gold in the Yukon Plateau set off a gold rush. HUNDREDS OF GOLD DIGGERS FLOCKED TO THE GOLDEN CITY, WHICH LATER BECAME KNOWN AS JUNEAN. In 1897, gold was also discovered in the Klondike River in the Yukon region of Canada, and about 100,000 gold prospectors rushed there.

Alaska is a sparsely populated region, with less than 200,000 people living in the whole of Alaska. The U.S. is only interested in gold. Previously, there were fewer than 10,000 U.S. troops stationed here. After the Chinese Empire conquered Siberia, in order to deal with the threat from China, the U.S. government further increased troops in the region, and after the United States entered the war, it further increased its troops in Alaska, but despite this, there were only 50,000 U.S. troops stationed in the region. The Governor of Siberia, General Wang Weihua, had more than 500,000 troops at his disposal, and these troops were only to maintain local order in Siberia and help settle the immigrants who moved to Siberia. In the past two years, we have emigrated nearly 10 million people to Siberia, and government offices have been established in various places. The situation on the ground is stable. Wechen thought that it was possible to draw 200,000 troops from Siberia to attack Alaska. Yang Jichang said respectfully.

Ren Chao couldn't help but nod after hearing this, now Americans only know that there are gold mines in Alaska, but Ren Chao, as a traverser, knows that this Alaska can be said to be a huge treasure. Because there's more to it than just gold mines. In Alaska's underground there are not only rich resources such as gold, silver, copper, coal, etc. There are also abundant oil resources. The Pradhoe Bay oil field on the North Slope is the largest oil field in the United States, but these fields were not discovered until the fifties of the 20th century, so Americans do not know that Alaska has abundant oil and gas resources underneath. But Ren Chao knew. As early as two years ago, when the Chinese Empire captured the Siberian region, Ren Chao took a fancy to this region, and if he had the opportunity to take down this territory, Ren Chao would naturally not be soft.

"If our army captures Alaska, it can pose a direct threat to Canada and the United States, and can effectively contain the forces of Britain and the United States, and its strategic significance is self-evident. However, it was winter at this time, and the ports of Vladivostok in the north were in a freezing period and could not be used at all, so we postponed the attack plan on Alaska, and waited until the spring of the next year when the northern ports thawed, and then launched an attack on Alaska! Admiral Minister Yu Kun stood up and said respectfully.

"I almost forgot this, the attack on Alaska must require the full assistance of the navy, since the northern ports are still in the freezing period, then the plan to attack Alaska is suspended, but Wang Weihua can be ordered to start preparations, and when the ice period is over the next year, an attack on Alaska will be launched immediately." Ren Chao nodded and said. Ren Chao just thought about the rich resources buried under the ground of Alaska, but he ignored this stubble. But it doesn't matter, Alaska is where it is, and it can't run, and there is not much difference between a few months earlier and a few months later.

"Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" Yang Jichang and others responded respectfully. (To be continued......)
