"The enemies in the southern battlefield are relatively weak, and it is enough to invest more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops! To fight in the South Seas, the key is logistical support! If there is a logistical problem, it will be more troublesome. This needs to be taken into account when drawing up a battle plan! Wang Yuze reminded. In the Nanyang region, the coastal areas are still relatively easy to solve, and relying on sea transportation can ensure the supply of troops. However, in these areas bordering the Indochina Peninsula and China, almost all of them are deep mountains and old forests, and the transportation facilities are very backward, which is not convenient for the supply of troops.

"Yes, Your Majesty! For the troops attacking Burma, we have specially dispatched logistics personnel to maintain supplies. In addition, the method of establishing military stations will be adopted and gradually promoted. to ensure that there will be no problems with the supply lines! Xiong Wu said.

"So, what about Hong Kong and Singapore? When will it be reclaimed? Wang Yuze asked. Hong Kong and Macau, in order to ease relations between China and the Western powers, China did not offer to take back these two pieces of land. By taking advantage of this war, we will have to subdue these lost territories. As for Macau, occupied by the Portuguese. Although China did not declare war on Portugal, a small Portugal, China has not yet taken it seriously. After subduing Hong Kong, you can directly subdue Macau by the way. Singapore, on the other hand, is a strategic location, guarding the Straits of Malacca, and was an important part of the British colonial system. Taking Singapore would cause the British Far East Fleet to lose anchorages and supply bases even if it attacked, which would help the Chinese Navy defeat the British Navy from afar.

"As soon as the war began, the 53rd Division of the South China Military Region would launch an attack on Hong Kong. At present, Britain has only one regiment of marines in Hong Kong, and has lost the British ** squadron of the navy, and it will not be able to hold Hong Kong if it is willing to do so. Xiong Wu said.

Wang Yuze nodded and said, "In the process of recovering Hong Kong, it is best to be able to force the British to surrender." The British have already built Hong Kong into a more prosperous state, and there is no need for us to destroy Hong Kong! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu, Cai Yun and others agreed.

"So, when will the Northern Battlefield begin, apart from the Southern Battlefield? The main force in the southern theater is the navy, and the main force in the northern theater is the army. Now, are the troops ready? Wang Yuze asked. Now, there will be basically no more problems in the fighting in the southern battlefield, and before the British Navy expeditions to China, Wang Yuze's attention will be on the northern battlefield. The northern battlefield is vast, and the number of troops participating in the war is also the largest, and there is no room for mistakes, otherwise, it will pose a deadly threat to China.

"Your Majesty, the troops of the northern battlefield have basically been prepared. It is expected that the war will be launched in a week. The army of the Northeast Military Region was organized into two group armies. The First Army, which consisted of the 3rd, 13th, 47th, and 48th Divisions, and the newly formed 54th and 55th Divisions, and the Second Army, which consisted of the 14th, 21st, 25th, and 46th Divisions, as well as the newly formed 56th and 57th Divisions, included an artillery brigade, a cavalry brigade, a guard brigade, an engineer brigade, a baggage brigade, and a field hospital attached to the army, with a strength of 160,000 troops each. Among them, the direction of the First Army's main offensive was the area from Chita to Birobidzhan that was nearly 1,500 kilometers long. Although the area of the offensive is relatively long, the Russian army has only more than 50,000 people, and it is mainly deployed in Chita. The Second Army was mainly attacking the Vladivostok area. The Russian army has 100,000 people here, plus the Russian Pacific Fleet. After the start of the war, the assistance of the Navy was needed to deal with the Russian Pacific Fleet. The Fourth and 50th Divisions of the Northern Military Region, as well as the newly formed 58th, 59th, 60th, and 61st Divisions, as well as the artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, guard brigades, engineer brigades, baggage brigades, and military field hospitals, formed the Third Army. The Fourth Army consisted of the 8th and 49th Divisions, the newly formed 62nd, 63rd, 64th, and 65th Divisions, as well as the artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, guard brigades, engineer brigades, baggage brigades, and military field hospitals. Among them, the target of the Third Army was Ulan-Ude. The target of the Fourth Army was Kurtsk. The 3rd Cavalry Corps will fight in conjunction with the armies of these two groups. Russia deployed a total of 300,000 troops in Eastern Siberia. That number is now increasing by 20,000 per week. The 2nd, 5th, 38th, and 39th Divisions of the Northwest Military Region and the newly formed 66th Division, as well as the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, guard brigade, engineer brigade, baggage brigade, and military field hospital, formed the Fifth Army, and the target of the attack was the Balkhash Lake area. The 1st Cavalry Corps was to fight in conjunction with the 5th Army. There are about 100,000 Russian troops in this area. With five group armies and two cavalry corps, China's total strength deployed in the northern battlefield has reached 900,000, and it has an absolute superiority in strength. In addition, the units of the Capital Military District are ready to join the battlefield at any time. Minister of War Cai Yun explained to Wang Yuze. In addition to the 20 new divisions, the army has also organized a number of artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, guard brigades, engineer brigades, and baggage brigades, bringing the total strength of the army to 1.6 million. Of course, after this battle, some units will be eliminated.

"What about our opponents? How many troops did the Russians have? Wang Yuze asked. 900,000 seems to be a lot, but there are not many scattered in the vast land of the north. Moreover, China's opponent in the northern theater, Russia, has always been known for its strong military strength.

"Russia has now expanded its army to two million men. They were in the northern theater of war, and now there are about six hundred thousand people. And the number is constantly increasing. It's just that due to the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Russian team cannot be quickly deployed to the East Siberian region. However, as the war progresses, Russia will definitely throw more and more troops into the battlefield! Cai Yun replied.

"Although Russia has two million troops, they still have to defend Europe, and there are not many troops invested in the Far East. The Baikal region will become the main battlefield, and the First Army can join the battle in the Baikal region after destroying the Russian army north of the Heilongjiang River. Also, if necessary, find a way to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. In this way, Russia will be powerless in the war in the Far East! Wang Yuze said. Russia's troops in the Far East and Eastern Siberia relied almost entirely on the Trans-Siberian Railway. And the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway is strictly insufficient, if this artery can be cut, then the Russian army on the front line will be all finished!

"Your Majesty, the General Staff plans to send special forces or use airship units to blow up the Trans-Siberian Railway after the number of troops gathered by the Russian army in the Baikal region has reached a certain limit. When the time comes, it will be able to eat the Russian army entrenched in the Baikal region in one bite. As long as these Russian troops can be eliminated, Russia will be greatly damaged. Xiong Wu said.

"That's right, that's the plan! The Russians are strong, but their industrial base is very weak. After losing a large number of troops and equipment, it is difficult to replenish them. As long as the navy can defeat the British navy, then they will have to sue for peace. Wang Yuze said approvingly. Today's Russia is not as industrially developed as later generations. Among the great powers, Russia is arguably the weakest industrially powerful. It can only meet part of the needs of the army. In the event of large-scale losses, even if enough soldiers can be recruited, there will not be enough weapons to equip these recruits. Moreover, Russia's economic strength is even weaker. If the war drags on for too long, the Russian economy will collapse first.

"陛xià! Lord Wu Tingfang asks to see! Wu Hao walked into the study and said.

"Oh! Let him in! It should be a declaration of war on Britain! Wang Yuze said.

Soon, Wu Tingfang walked into the study.

"Your Majesty, this morning, the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, has declared war on behalf of the British government on the Empire! I also declared war on Britain on behalf of the Empire. From now on, the Reich and Great Britain are already at war! Wu Tingfang said.

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later there will be a big war between the Empire and Great Britain. It's just that it's ahead of schedule now! Wang Yuze said indifferently. The war between China and the Pacific Alliance was planned by the British. It's just that Britain originally wanted China and the Pacific Alliance to fight to the death. Deng Shichang wiped out the British Far East Fleet, which forced Britain to declare war on the empire now.

Wu Tingfang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"By the way, what about Little Japan? What is the situation in Japan now? Wang Yuze asked. After the Japanese navy was wiped out, Japan's hundreds of thousands of army forces were no longer useful. That's why the General Staff will transfer almost all the army forces in the north to the front.

"Back to Your Majesty, Japan is now stepping up its army expansion, and it seems that it is preparing to defend the Japanese islands to the death. The Empire and Britain declared war on each other, giving them a chance. Many Japanese people thought that as long as they held Japan and waited for the British to defeat us, they would be able to win! Xiong Wu said.

"Humph! They think it's beautiful. Zhang Aiqing, when will the Navy start fighting? Wang Yuze asked.

"Back to Majesty! The main forces of the home fleet have not yet returned to the military port, and now only the detachment fleet can be used. The detachment will be able to return to Naha this evening. After a simple rest, you can go into battle. It will take about three days. Zhang Cheng said. Except for the heavy cruiser 'Wuhan', which needs to be returned to the shipyard for repairs, the rest of the warships can be put into battle with simple maintenance.
