As soon as the news of the East China Army's combined fleet taking over the military port of the Far East Fleet of the Ice Bear Country was revealed, all countries were a little dazed by Longhuaguo's shot. Because in their opinion, since Longhua is unwilling to continue the national war, he intends to recuperate. Then the main task in the next step should be to focus on the matter of domestic reunification. Why did you get on it with the Ice Bear Country again?

It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

As a big country bordering the Eurasian continent, although the current situation of the Ice Bear Country is not optimistic, how can it have a few more iron nails than the Sun Country? At this time, is the invasion of the Ice Bear Country not afraid of the wrath of others and launching a national war in the true sense? I'm afraid this battle won't be so easy to fight at that time, right?

Just when all parties were concerned about the actions of the Ice Bear Country, the External Relations Department of Longhua State held a regular press conference, at which the officials of the External Relations Department briefly described the military operation of the Navy's joint fleet. However, there is nothing wrong with carrying out military operations to recover the territory of a country as an army.

At this moment, all parties realized that the naval base seized by the Combined Fleet was really controversial with Longhua in a sense. If you push it up a hundred years, the area where the Vladivostok Military Port is located is really the territory of Longhua Kingdom. Now that Longhua has seized this natural naval port in the name of recovering the country, others really can't say anything.

So will the always strong Emperor Peter III really sit idly by?

When he received a telegram from the Far East Fleet saying that the Longhua Navy had invaded on a large scale, the Imperial Palace Council of the Ice Bear Country also attracted an uproar. Many people still felt that they should not easily provoke a rising councilor and nobleman in Longhua, and at this moment, they also felt that they should teach Longhua Kingdom a lesson, so that they could know how serious the consequences of provoking the Ice Bear Country were.

Compared to these fat-headed and big-eared nobles, they don't know how grim the situation in the Ice Bear Country is now. The military ministers of the Ice Bear Nation knew it all too well. In the face of the unanimous demand of the parliament to send troops to Longhua, the ministers of the military department did not object. It's just that they are in the upper house of parliament, and a figure is announced.

That is, the current naval strength of the Ice Bear Kingdom is simply not enough to fight against the rapidly expanding Longhua Kingdom, which means that if they want to launch a real national war with the Longhua Kingdom, then they can only rely on the army to fight with it. However, at present, the regular army in China has been scattered to crusade against the rebel armies that are rising and falling in various places, and the number of troops that can really be pulled to fight in the Far East does not exceed 500,000.

In addition to this, the Minister of War because of the last rout of the Far Eastern border guards. A targeted investigation has been carried out on the army in Longhua. Only to find out that I don't know when, the strength of the East China Army, which has become the main battle army of Longhua, has far surpassed them by a lot. The other side alone has formed armored corps and artillery units, which they cannot deal with.

It was learned that in addition to the sufficient number of soldiers, the East China Army was also equipped with better weapons than the army of the Ice Bear Country, and its artillery was even more than that of the Ice Bear Country. It's okay to fight such a large-scale national war. That is, the upper house of parliament has increased its investment in military spending. First, let them buy a batch of artillery from the Eagle and Mi countries that is enough to compete with the Longhua Army.

At the same time, a million recruits were recruited in the country. Otherwise, even if they send troops to the Far East now. The final outcome of the battle is also a definite defeat. This basin of sturdy cold water, a group of frozen councillors also shivered at the aristocracy. When did the weak Longhua Kingdom rise so quickly?

After talking about these naval and army forces, the Minister of War showed Longhua's unique submarine force and air force unit, which are not available in the Ice Bear Country now. Especially the new air force branch in Longhua, they can't compete for the time being. Once the Ice Bear Kingdom really fights with it. Then the final result of the war is that even their capital will not be able to escape the bombing of the opposing planes.

In this case, the Minister of War of the Ice Bear Country also showed a copy. Why did the Sun Congress and the Longhua Kingdom stop the intelligence of the national war. It is clearly stated that the Sun Kingdom is not incapable of continuing to fight with Longhua Kingdom. However, in the face of Longhuaguo's current submarine force and air force, no effective defensive weapons have been developed.

So that if they continue to fight, the final result is that they will be dragged into the water by Longhua and lose their existing interests in Asia. As a big country, the Ice Bear Country has been very interested in reducing military spending in recent years, so that the upgrading of military weapons and the purchase of warships by the Navy have come to a standstill.

This time, the Far Eastern Fleet was forced to surrender by the Longhua Navy after firing a few cannons, and the most fundamental reason was that they did not even have a cannon for the shore defense artillery that was comparable to the naval gun. Therefore, several ministers of the military unceremoniously proposed in the House of Lords that it was okay to fight Longhua, but they had to come up with money to let them purchase military equipment and armed strength on a large scale.

At the same time, they will expand the number of their land forces, and the naval forces must also purchase a number of large warships suitable for modern naval operations. Without these two guarantees, this battle will only repeat the situation of the last time the border guards and the Longhua army were defeated in a battle.

Of course, this is not the most serious situation, the most serious situation is that the Ice Bear Country is currently in the Far East, and the operation to suppress the rebel army has become more and more difficult. Most of those rebel armies used the standard weapons of the Sun Kingdom and adopted the tactics of guerrilla warfare, constantly encroaching on their troop presence in the Far East.

At the same time, almost all of the land routes used by the Ice Bear Country for the supply of troops and materials were almost all harmed by these rebel armies. If you want to transfer the elite troops deployed on the European side to the Far East for combat, the prerequisite is that the rebel forces in the Far East must be suppressed and the supply channels must be smooth. Otherwise, before their army reached the border with Longhua in the Far East, their army would have collapsed on its own because of the loss of supplies.

Peter III, who attended the meeting, has recently been troubled by the rebellion of the rebel army at home, but this does not mean that he is old and confused. Therefore, after listening to the analysis of the Minister of War, the old emperor, who was over sixty years old, quickly asked how much military investment was needed and how long the military could compete with Longhuaguo.

In this regard, the military minister said very directly: "From what we have learned so far, first of all, we must have a naval force to compete with the Longhua Navy, and the investment in this area requires at least one billion ice coins. The army needs to recruit at least one million more troops, and three more artillery divisions of heavy artillery units.

Of course, in view of the fact that Longhua has a formed armored force, although the newly developed tanks in our country are not as good as the tanks in service in Longhua, I am afraid that the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic. Therefore, before coming here, we made a comprehensive calculation that the army needs to invest at least 5 billion ice coins before and after, giving the military one to two years of training.

At that time, we can rely on the strengthened army and navy to compete with Longhuaguo. Now that there is an all-out war with Longhua, the opinion of our military department is that the time is not ripe. If we redeploy the Army forces deployed in Europe to the Far Eastern Front, if we lose the war, it will deal a fatal blow to the entire national defense system. Therefore, I invited Bixia and the ministers to understand the current practical difficulties of the military department. ”

Six billion ice coins to buy a victory that the future is unpredictable, and the nobles and parliamentarians undoubtedly think it is too ridiculous. It's just that Peter the Great understands that since the victory in World War I, many nobles in the country are really lazy. The military's military spending has also been severely compressed, and it is normal for the military to jump out and demand an increase in military spending at such a time.

Considering that Longhua Kingdom had crossed the border several times, there was always a fire in Emperor Peter's heart, and he knew that several ministers of the military were his confidants. If it weren't really powerless, they wouldn't dare to say such a blow to themselves and elevate others in this kind of councilor.

And Peter III also understood that compared to the interests of the Ice Bear in the Far East, their real core interests were on the European border. If there is chaos in Europe, then the Ice Bear Country is really not far from chaos. Therefore, it is also very necessary to build a favorable defense force. Only when the military is strong will it not be bullied by others.

Peter III, who figured this out, said: "I know the military's application, and I will instruct the royal family to increase financial support for the military in the later stage." It's just that for the current invasion of the Far East by the Longhua Kingdom, do you military come up with any countermeasures? ”

Faced with the fact that the emperor was not angry, but calmly inquired about the war situation in the Far East, the minister of the military department quickly said: "Judging from the area that the Longhua troops have entered at present, it seems that they only need to recover the land bordering Vladivostok and Longhua. For the area that we ourselves were exiles, the military's advice was to give it up for the time being.

Based on the territorial issue there, we will hold peace talks with Longhua and strive to stop the national war between the two countries first. After our elite army and navy are built, not only will we get that territory back, but even the Nanyi we invested in will also be recovered.

In addition, according to our intelligence, the Sun Kingdom is also in the name of peace talks this time, but in fact, it is to reserve strength for the next war with Longhua. I think that if we do it, they will follow, and it is a bunch of wolfdogs who don't see any good. Therefore, as long as we endure for a while and build a new type of elite army and navy, the final victory will still belong to our great Ice Bear Empire. ”

Giving up nearly 200,000 square kilometers of territory there in exchange for the most urgently needed time, Peter III's heart was undoubtedly a little tangled. It can be thought that if you continue to fight like this, in addition to investing a huge amount of military investment, it may also shake the basis of the entire Ice Bear Country. All things considered, there is no doubt that the former is more cost-effective. Besides, what the military said was not right, in addition to thinking that the sea cudivostok was very useful, the other barren lands really didn't care much.

Considering this, Peter III quickly instructed the Ministry of the Interior to contact Long Huaguo. Prepare for secret negotiations to end the current state of national war, and use this territory, which Peter doesn't think is of much interest, to gain the time that the Ice Bear Nation desperately needs to rise.
