At a press conference held in the Foreign Office building in London, British journalists spoke to Prime Minister Henry Henry. Campbell. Banavin was not polite at all, and did not care about the identity of the prime minister at all. Campbell. Banervin was very embarrassed.

A reporter from the British Observer asked Henry. Campbell. Banervin, should he bear the responsibility for the total destruction of the British Indian fleet, or should Carragher, the commander of the Indian fleet?

This question makes Henry. Campbell. Banavin was even more annoyed, and even the smile he had been maintaining was much more restrained.

"I repeat once again, our Royal Navy Indian Fleet of the British Empire fought for honor, to defend our overseas colonies of the British Empire from the invasion of the Chinese Empire, and there is absolutely no question of responsibility, and the commander of the Indian fleet, Admiral Carragher, also surrendered to the fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy after bringing the entire fleet to fight bloodily with the powerful fleet of the Chinese Empire, and when there was no hope of breaking through at all, in consideration of preserving the lives of more officers and men of the Indian Fleet, Remember, Admiral Carragher, along with all the officers and men of the Indian fleet, are heroes of our British Empire, there can be no doubt about that. ”

There were 3 questions from the national journalists, and 2 reporters asked questions that made Henry very happy. Campbell. Banavin was embarrassed, and after three British reporters asked questions, Henry Brown. Campbell. Banavin is no longer called a British journalist, and this is not his own person!

He hesitated and ordered another French reporter to stand up and ask a question, and to his relief, the French reporter gave Henri more back than the British reporter. Campbell. Banervin face. Only the question of the gratuitous aid of Great Britain to Russia was asked, and Henry. Campbell. Bannervin also replied in a measured manner. Britain will certainly do everything in its power to support Russia, an ally.

A German journalist who was later chosen to ask questions was not so tricky. Just asking how many more land forces Britain would be prepared to send into the Russian theater this time, Henry. Campbell. Banervin's reply was still regular, and the British Army would definitely try to draw as many troops as possible to defeat the Chinese Imperial Army in the Russian theater with the armies of the Allied and Allied countries and the other six countries.

After answering the questions of the German journalist, Henry. Campbell. Fearing that a reporter would ask a more embarrassing question, Banavin hurriedly ended the press conference, ignoring the raised hands of reporters from all over the world.

After the end of the press conference. Henry. Campbell. Banavin immediately called the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and said in a deep voice: "Let people greet the various newspapers, it is the time of the war, let them not scribble, otherwise our government will not let them go, and investigate the two reporters who asked tricky questions, I suspect that they are spies of the Chinese Empire." ”

The Marquis of Lansdowne understood the Prime Minister's character of retribution, and nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will get things done." ”

Just after the British Prime Minister Henry Henry. Campbell. At the same time as Banavin held a press conference, a meeting of great importance to the Entente and the Central Powers was also taking place in Paris, France. It was a meeting between Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Turks to discuss the continued build-up of troops on the Russian battlefield.

The Russians were most concerned about this meeting, so the Russian Minister of Finance and Witte also rushed to Paris to attend this meeting of great importance to Russia.

The area east of the Russian Ural Mountains has been completely lost, and now the coalition forces are massing heavy forces in the city of Ufa. About 420,000 German Army, 410,000 French Army, 170,000 British Army, 210,000 Italian Army, 240,000 Austro-Hungarian Army, 230,000 Ottoman Turkish Army, and nearly one million Russian Army were able to assemble in Ufa. However, the combat effectiveness of the army of the Chinese Empire was too fierce, and it can be deeply felt from the battle of Chelyabinsk. Even if the coalition army gathered more than 2.6 million troops, the Russians did not dare to guarantee that the city of Ufa was impregnable.

The Russians mobilized nearly a million troops to the city of Ufa in a short time. It is already the greatest ability of the Russians, and the Russians have even sent the newly formed army to Ufa City, and those army forces that are still to be formed on paper cannot be formed for a while, so the Russians can only hope that the Entente and the other six countries of the Central Powers will send more land forces into the Russian battlefield to enhance the strength of Ufa City.

If the city of Ufa is occupied by the Chinese Empire again, then the iron hooves of the Chinese Imperial army will reach the banks of the Volga River in Russia, then the losses of Russia will be great, and Russia will have to block the iron hooves of the Chinese Empire in the city of Ufa no matter what.

The other six countries also attached great importance to this troop surge conference, and the representative sent by Britain was Lambertst, chief of staff of the War Department, the representative of Germany was Schlieffen, the chief of the general staff of the German army, the representative of Italy was Hannaverd, the Minister of War of Italy, the representative of Austria-Hungary was the Minister of War Mujwilli, the representative of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was the Minister of Defense Enverpasha, and France, as the host, was directly represented by President Lubet on behalf of France.

This troop reinforcement conference has been going on for two days, November 9 is the third day of the meeting, after the first two days of consultations, the six countries on the number of troops on the Russian battlefield, there was a big disagreement, the Entente Britain and France and the four countries of the Central Powers, each of them thought that the number of troops on the other side was not enough, and the six countries did not have the first negotiation to send troops, it seemed so happy.

At the beginning of today's meeting, French President Lubet, as the moderator of this troop increase meeting, said to the other delegates of other countries present: "In order to express our French determination to resist the Chinese Empire, we France have decided to provide the amount of additional troops again, and will send another 800,000 troops into the Russian battlefield, hoping that all countries can increase the amount of additional troops in the same way, after all, this war is a war between the seven countries of our Entente and the Central Powers and the Chinese Empire, and this meeting has been carried out on the third day. It is hoped that the amount of additional troops will be set today in order to boost the morale of the troops on the front line. ”

The French Army has recently expanded to 2.8 million troops, but France has already sent 1 million troops into the Russian theater and has lost 590,000. This time, another 800,000 troops will be sent, and it will be quite hard.

In addition, France was able to send another 800,000 troops into the Russian battlefield. It is also because the French Army is preparing to expand its new force by another 500,000 troops.

Hannaverde, the Minister of War of Italy, immediately continued: "Your French army is sending another 800,000 troops into the Russian battlefield, and there are still enough troops in the country and in the colonies. Our Italian army has only recently been expanded, and it has only reached a total of 800,000 troops, and has already sent 300,000 into Russia, and also lost 90,000 in the battle of Chelyabinsk. ”

France and Great Britain had the greatest opinion on the amount of troops that Italy was prepared to increase this time.

The British representative was the chief of staff of the War Office, Lambert St. said: "Haven't you Italy decided to expand the army by 300,000 again?" In this way, you Italy can send 300,000 troops to the Russian battlefield, and you can also guarantee that you will maintain the size of 500,000 troops in the mainland and colonies. ”

After the Battle of Chelyabinsk, the nations saw the great fighting power of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire. While being frightened, they could not help but choose to formulate a new plan for the expansion of the army again.

You must know that in addition to Russia, the other six countries have just completed a new round of expansion of the army, and Russia has not completed the expansion plan because the expansion plan is too large.

Before the Italian Minister of War Hannaverde could answer, Schlieffen, the chief of the General Staff of the German Army on the side, said: "Your British's army has reached 3.3 million after the recent expansion, but only 300,000 troops were sent to the Russian battlefield last time, and this time it is only ready to add another 200,000 troops, is it a little too little." It's not at all what you are British! ”

On the part of Britain and France, the Allies also did not agree with the amount of British troop increases.

British Army Chief of Staff Lambertst immediately retorted: "We British have invested nearly 2 million troops in the Asian colonies, and this time we will add 200,000 troops to the Russian battlefield, which is already the greatest strength of our British Empire." We, the British War Office, have a new plan to expand the army by at least 500,000 or more regular army units, if this new plan is completed. There is no need to hold such a meeting to discuss it, and we in England will once again throw more troops into the Russian battlefield. ”

The British really couldn't get much of an army this time. The Asian colonies already held back nearly 2 million British land forces, and the British had many other colonies that needed to be garrisoned. It is not easy to take out another 200,000 this time.

French President Lubet asked at this time: "General Schlieffen, I don't know how many more troops your Germany can send into the Russian battlefield in the end, I heard that your German Emperor Wilhelm II is ready to expand the size of another 1 million troops this time." ”

Schlieffen, chief of the General Staff of the German Army, raised his chin a little before he said: "Our German troop increase plan will add another 1 million elite German troops to the Russian battlefield in accordance with the latest instructions of His Majesty Wilhelm II to supplement the losses of our German Army in the Battle of Chelyabinsk. ”

The two British and French representatives, Lubbe and Lambertst, looked at each other and shook their heads, Germany only said at the beginning of the troop surge conference that it would send another 500,000 troops to the Russian battlefield, and now it has doubled to become the country with the largest number of troops in this troop surge conference, what else can they say.

French President Lube turned to the Italian Minister of War Hannaverde and asked: "So how many more troops can Italy add to join the Russian battlefield this time?" ”

Hannawade shrugged his shoulders and said: "Our Italy can only send another 150,000 troops into the Russian battlefield at present, if we wait for our Italian army to complete the formation of 300,000 troops again, we can continue to increase the number of troops entering the Russian battlefield at that time." ”

150,000 troops is also the bottom line of Italy's increase in troops, after all, Italy's original army strength, in comparison, is really not much, and for the first time, 300,000 Italian troops have been sent into Russia, and now there are 210,000 in the Russian battlefield to prepare for a big war with the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the Austro-Hungarian War Minister Muiwilli said: "Our Austro-Hungarian Empire has finally decided to send another 450,000 troops to join the Russian battlefield this time, and if our Austro-Hungarian Empire's new expansion plan of 400,000 troops is completed, we can also increase our troops on the Russian battlefield again." ”

Then the Minister of Defense of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Enverpasha, said: "Our Ottoman Turkish Empire will send another 400,000 troops into the Russian battlefield, and at the same time, our Ottoman Turkish Empire is also preparing to expand the army by 300,000 troops. ”

In this way, the German Army will send another 1 million troops to join the Russian battlefield, 800,000 French Army, 200,000 British Army, 150,000 Italian Army, 450,000 Austria-Hungary, and 400,000 Ottoman Turkish Empire, which is equivalent to Britain and France of the Entente and Germany, Italy and Austria of the Central Powers, and will send another 3 million troops to join the Russian battlefield.

Subsequently, French President Lubet and British War Chief of Staff Lambertst whispered to each other and agreed on the amount of additional troops of the four Allied countries on the Russian battlefield this time.

Schlieffen, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Hannaverde, Minister of the Italian Army, Muywilli, Minister of War of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Enverpasha, Minister of Defense of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, also got together for a moment to discuss and agree on the amount of additional troops from France and Britain on the Russian battlefield.

And staying on the sidelines, Russian Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the Entente Britain, France and the Allied Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey will send 3 million troops into Russia at this time, which will suddenly make the form of the Russian battlefield favorable to the coalition forces, and the Russians will not have to be so worried about the next battle, especially the upcoming big battle in Ufa.

Witte excitedly said to the representatives of the other six countries: "Our Russian Empire will continue to complete the formation of the remaining new army groups in the plan, as long as the formation is completed, it will be sent to the front, thanks to the support of Britain, France and Germany, the formation of these new army groups has been completed, and our Russian Empire will not stop expanding the pace of army expansion, and will continue to expand the number of land forces until the final victory over the evil Chinese Empire."
