"Ladies and gentlemen, the war of the future will be the largest war in history. The Asian-European military alliance and the North Atlantic military alliance will wage a protracted and fierce war. According to the Empire's predictions, this war will probably last for a long time. Therefore, the empire wants all countries to be ready for a protracted war! At the beginning of the meeting, General Sun Hao, chief of the Imperial General Staff, solemnly raised this point.

The representatives of several European allies were a little stern and a little unimpressed. European countries, the general territory is small, lack strategic depth. Once a war breaks out, it is often the case that the vast majority of forces are initially devoted in an effort to defeat the opponent in the latest possible time. If there is a protracted war, this will undoubtedly bring great trouble to all countries. As in the beginning, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Sardinia united in the war against the Austrian Empire took only three months in total.

"General Sun, I don't know how long the Chinese Empire predicts this war will last?" Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Prussia, General of the Cavalry of Reihel, asked. The Kingdom of Prussia is currently the second largest power in the Asia-Europe military alliance.

"General Reihel, according to our predictions, if this war breaks out, I'm afraid it will last for three years, or even longer!" Admiral Sun Hao said solemnly.

"Three years? My God! How is this possible? Almost all of them exclaimed. Although, a long war, everyone is not unexperienced. However, large-scale wars rarely last so long.

"General Sun, isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Pilimont, Minister of War of the Kingdom of Sardinia, asked.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. The preparations for war of the Chinese Empire were based on a long period of warfare. I advise all countries to do the best to prepare. Otherwise, if the war is lost. Then, even if the alliance can win the war in the future, I am afraid that the price paid will be difficult for all countries to accept! Admiral Sun Hao said.

The faces of the representatives of various countries attending the meeting changed drastically. Originally, they thought that he was well prepared for war. But they did not expect that this war would probably exceed their expectations. Now it seems. Their war preparations were somewhat inadequate. The delegates of all countries had made up their minds that after the meeting was over, they would ask for continued preparations for war at home. lest you regret it in the future. After all, even the Chinese Empire is trying to increase its combat readiness as much as possible, and this is certainly not a deception to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our enemies are strong. The battlefields of the future are spread across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Therefore. The Imperial General Staff divided the battlefield chiefly. The first is the Asian theater, which will be the main battlefield of the empire. The Chinese Empire would face Russia and Britain here. In order to alleviate the pressure on Europe, the empire would devote heavy troops to the direction of Central Asia and Siberia, so that Russia did not dare to send many troops to Europe. At the same time, the empire would also attack India, an important British colony. Reduction of Britain's war potential. However, it is clear to everyone that the British had more than 1.2 million troops in India, although 1 million of them were Anglo-Indian troops. But if the empire wants to win, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Before the decisive victory of the Imperial Army in the Asian theater. I'm afraid that I won't be able to send reinforcements to Europe, and in this time, I'm afraid I'll need your allies to resist the enemy's attack! Admiral Sun Hao said.

Russia now has more than 1.5 million standing troops, most of which are deployed in Central Asia and Western Siberia. If war breaks out, the strength of the Russian Army will be further expanded. Hidden, the Chinese Empire has to deal with at least two million Russian troops. Together with the more than one million British troops in India, the Chinese Empire had more than three million enemies to deal with in the Asian theater. Under such circumstances, the pressure on the Chinese Army is also very great.

"General Sun, although, there are many enemies that the Chinese Empire has pinned down in the Asian theater. However, it was the European theater of war that was even more important. The Kingdom of Prussia believed that the Chinese Empire could take a defensive position in the Asian theater and send its troops to the European theater first. When we win in Europe, we will be able to win without a fight! "Admiral Raihel cavalry built a yì road. Obviously, this was the wishful thinking of the Prussians.

"Yes, General Sun. As long as the European battlefield wins, the North Atlantic military alliance will almost lose, and their troops deployed in Asia will not pose much of a threat to us at all! Pilimonte, Minister of War of the Kingdom of Sardinia, also said.

Admiral Sun Hao was a little annoyed in his heart, but his face did not show it.

"The Chinese Empire is too far away from Europe for us to bring millions of troops to Europe. If countries can provide so much capacity, it will be fine! Admiral Sun Hao directly threw out a condition. He knew that these guys didn't want to see the Chinese Empire continue to expand with the help of this war. But how could the Chinese Empire let them get their wish? If they had been helped to achieve victory in the European battlefield first, then if they had been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the Chinese Empire would have lost money.

The conditions put forward by Admiral Sun Hao immediately made both Admiral Rehel Cavalry and Piremont speechless. None of them are maritime powers, and they simply cannot transport millions of Chinese troops to Europe.

"Rest assured, the Empire is confident that within a year it will defeat the enemy and achieve a decisive victory in the Asian theater. A year later, the Chinese Army will arrive in Europe by sea. What's more, before that, the Imperial Navy will make every effort to ensure the safety of China's sea transportation routes to Europe, and continue to transfuse blood to Europe's allies through sea transportation, so it will not be difficult to hold on for a year! Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Operations of the Imperial General Staff, said.

The representatives of various countries whispered, and they also knew that it was impossible for the Chinese Empire to directly transfer its troops to the European theater regardless of the Asian theater. Just like if the Kingdom of Prussia was asked to concentrate most of its forces on the Eastern Front regardless of the Western Front, and cooperate with the Chinese Empire to attack Russia, the Kingdom of Prussia would definitely not do it.

With the assurances of the Chinese Empire, the representatives of various countries did not continue to dwell on this issue. Although the Kingdom of Prussia was somewhat dissatisfied, it still had to take into account the overall situation.

"The second battlefield is the American battlefield. Our enemies in the Americas, primarily the United States, and the British troops in the colonies of Canada and France in the northeastern United States. This battlefield will be borne by the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain! Admiral Sun Hao continued.

In the Americas, the United States suffered heavy losses after the last war. Over the years, with the support of Britain and France, there has been a lot of recovery. However, the U.S. Army, in the event of a war, will arm a maximum of about one million men. It's just that, even so, the U.S. military has an advantage in troops. The Imperial Army had only one army group in North America, and with the border reserve troops, it was only more than 300,000. The Spanish Army in North America has only six infantry corps and more than 200,000 men. Only half of the U.S. military. After the war, the Americans will definitely arm as many troops as possible. And the British colonies in Canada will also arm more troops. Therefore, when the time comes, the empire will most likely face two million enemy troops in the Americas.

Spain's main forces were to be placed at home, dealing with Portugal and attacking France to the north. So, leaving six infantry corps in North America was already the limit of the Spaniards. For this reason, the Chinese Empire still has to be responsible for the main force against the Americans. The General Staff planned to send reinforcements of about ten infantry corps to the Americas once the war began. The equipment and combat power of the Imperial Army are far stronger than those of the United States Army. I believe that with these reinforcements, the 3rd Army will be able to withstand the attack of the American army no matter what!

For the first and second battlefields, the allies of the empire did not pay much attention to it. After all, in these two battlefields, the Chinese Empire is the well-deserved protagonist. What they care about is the third battlefield, which is also the most important and complex!

"The third war is the European theater! It will be the main battlefield for all the countries of the alliance to deal with the military alliance in the North Atlantic. The main task of the Kingdom of Prussia was to attack the Kingdom of Holland and France to the west, and as for the east and south, only a small number of troops were needed. The task of the Ottoman Empire was to launch attacks on Russia and Austria-Hungary. Russia's main forces will undoubtedly be dragged by the empire in Central Asia and Western Siberia, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire will not use too many troops against Russia. The main forces of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were to be used in the attack on Austria-Hungary.

The army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was to be divided into two parts, attacking Austria-Hungary and France. Compared to France, Austria-Hungary was weaker. If properly coordinated, the Kingdom of Sardinia had a good chance of cooperating with the Ottoman Turks to destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The mission of the Kingdom of Spain was, on the one hand, to defend against the attacks of the Kingdom of Portugal, and on the other hand, to attack France from the south! Cooperate with several allies to destroy France.

The task of the Kingdom of Belgium was to defend itself against the French attack, to cooperate with the Kingdom of Prussia to destroy the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and finally to cooperate with the Kingdom of Prussia in a decisive battle with France.

Of course, the European theater should always pay attention to the British, the British army, which may land on the west coast of Europe at any time.

As for the Imperial Army, after winning a decisive victory in the Asian theater, it will immediately go to Europe to support the European theater in order to completely win this war! Although our enemies are very strong, I believe that as long as we work together, the future victory will definitely be ours! Admiral Sun Hao said firmly. (To be continued......)
