This was an enlarged meeting of the base camp, and members of the Wartime Quartermaster Committee and the Wartime Interior Committee, which were not part of the base camp, were also invited.

"Please be seated."

At this moment, Qianhua was dressed in a characteristic black tweed skirt, wearing a marshal's boat-shaped hat decorated with feathers, with golden tassels on her shoulders, and rows of tasseled knots of fat cavalry on the front of her jacket.

As soon as the entrance opened, everyone gathered around the oval conference table sat down, and the tense atmosphere lingered.

Qian Hua took off her cumbersome boat-shaped hat, hung down her long smooth hair, held the hat in her hand, and did not immediately hand it to the attendant behind her, Liang Gensheng, the commander of the army's special forces, who had just been promoted to major general.

"I don't want to explain too much about the past two days, the best thing I can understand, what I can't understand, go home and think slowly, I am here to deal with military affairs today, who wants to feel uncomfortable, the door is over there, and there is no need to come back when I go out."

Everyone was silent, the empress's methods, they had seen it clearly, and no one had any reason to be bored.

"I don't care what Liu Bailiang did before, starting today, I will always follow my ideas, and if there is a problem, I will mention it now."

The emperor is majestic, who dares to make a time!

"Okay, since it's all right, let's talk nonsense, let's start now, Su Sanling, you can summarize it, as of today, how is the battle situation progressing in all aspects, and Lieutenant General Su Sanling, chief of the Operations Division of the General Staff, stood up: "Yes!" ”

Su Sanling turned around and clapped his hands, a huge map of the world realm slowly unfolded from the wall opposite Qianhua, Su Sanling walked quickly to the map, and picked up a whip more than one person long and pointed it.

"First of all, on the Russian front, the headquarters of the Northern Front has approached Krasnoyarsk on the Yenisei River, the key pass to Western Siberia from two directions, and is scheduled to launch a general offensive before the middle of the month, seize this place, and then attack Western Siberia with all its might. And the fortress of Irkutsk, which was trapped by the remnants of the enemy's Eastern Siberian Front, was trapped by the battle line of the Northern Army. Four hours after our general offensive was launched, a request for negotiations had been issued, and even if negotiations failed, the Northern Army was determined to clear the fortress by August 6. ”

"In the northwest, along the Irtysh River, the battle of the large corps of more than 800,000 people is still raging. Yesterday, the main force of our second assembly resolutely approached the encirclement of Aleysk, transferred the original second assembly area into the detachment and rescued it, and now the basic forces of the second assembly have been gathered, and they are waiting for follow-up reinforcements, preparing to launch a second assault between 7 and 8 August to rescue the main force of the advancing troops that are still holding on to the city of A. ”

"As for the 10th Army, which fought independently in southern Central Asia, it has suspended its advance on the Persian border and the Caspian side, and has instead reduced its defensive line and held on to the points. At the same time, they stepped up efforts to help the newly liberated Bukhara and Khiva khanates consolidate their power and train new armies in order to achieve a royal road to mutual aid, "next to the Anglo-Indian front." Since the beginning of the summer, in an attempt to contain the effect, the Tibetan and Indian groups and the Xinjiang and Indian groups have continuously launched attacks and battles with small and capable troops on the two fronts of Tibet and Xinjiang, and the results have been remarkable, and the enemy forces have been forced to assemble at least two divisions on these two fronts. Furthermore. The Empire's recent military aid to Gurkha and Afghanistan has also brought great pressure to the Anglo-Indian side, and the number of Anglo-Indian troops deployed to the Gorkha border has increased significantly. ”

"The two major armies of Burma and India, which have been assembled in Burma, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra in preparation for Operation I, have completed their pre-war deployments, the Burmese Front is making all-out efforts to repair the road leading to the Indian border, and all units of the Indian Front are also working closely with the Navy to repeatedly rehearse the amphibious landing operations planned for the war. By the end of July, the main forces of the Combined Fleet had completed their pre-war training in the Sea of Japan and were now heading south in concealed groups in batches. ”

"In Nanyang, under the overall management of Marshal Xiao Ruhai, all allies, autonomous regions, and military and administrative regions are comprehensively establishing a new order of our East Asian royal road. We will rectify public order, restore production, supply military supplies, train the allied forces, build bases, and strive to provide a solid rear for our general war in the two oceans. ”

"In the southeast, the British and Australian forces have recently continued to attack the strongholds of our New Guinea and Bismarck Islands with small forces, and have gathered heavy troops in Port Moresby to build aviation and diving bases in the Solomon Islands, which seems to have the intention of advancing northward in a big way. Our army due to the operational needs of I. The Second Fleet's Outer South Sea Detachment, which had been reinforced to the Southeastern Fleet during the Port Moresby Raid War, was redeployed, and the Front Fleet was at a disadvantage compared to the British and Australian navies in front of it, and would have to rely on the Army to defend it in the short term. ”

"In the East China Sea, the construction of the defense system of the Hawaiian Islands is proceeding smoothly according to the plan, because the main force of the fleet in the East China Sea has been transferred back to China to prepare for the first operation. Ground raids on the West Coast of the United States and the Panama Canal Zone are mainly carried out by a small number of ocean-going submarines. The intensity of the attack was greatly weakened, and the results of the battle were very limited. And the US Navy since the beginning of the summer. In addition to using submarine reconnaissance to reconnoiter and attack our base and ambush our sea supply lines, we also used Tuvalu, Samoa, and the Fiji Islands as our forward bases, and Australia as the rear area, deployed surface ships and land forces, and constantly attacked our army's bases in Gilbert and the Marshall Islands. However, the weakly defended outpost group in the Central Pacific has not been fundamentally improved. ”

"In the North Sea, after the Japanese army captured Unalasca, an important place in the eastern part of the Aleutian Islands, and Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska in May, with the support of Liu Guanxiong's Fifth Fleet, the Japanese army launched a continental operation in July, began to invade the interior of Alaska, and used Kodiak Island as a base to send a small naval force to attack the west coast of Canada and the United States. However, according to the latest information, the United States is amassing naval forces on the west coast and sending army troops to Canada, which seems to have the intention of counterattacking Alaska......"

"The situation on the battlefield in all aspects is basically like this."

Su Sanling put down the whip, lowered his hands and stood solemnly, and nodded to Her Majesty the Empress opposite.

"Very well, you can sit back."

Qianhua played with the soft feathers on the marshal's hat in her hand, and her soft and bladed gaze wandered and swept over everyone's faces, in fact, she didn't mean to get along with anyone, she was just curious, in the face of her first appearance of majesty, what kind of expressions would these important ministers and high-ranking officials have?

"I can briefly sum up that the two most core operational directions at present, one is Russia and the other is India, and the main strength of our army and the main energy of the base camp are all concentrated here, and the decisive results of the war against Russia have not yet appeared, and the war against India is ready to start. And in the Pacific, after an early victory, there is a situation in which one trades off the other—isn't it? ”

"The emperor is wise, the outline is clear, and the words are complicated, and the ministers think it is true." The chief of staff of the Navy, Yan Fu, hurriedly praised, and the others also followed suit, saying yes one after another.

"It's good to understand, Su Mengxin, you can report on the international situation."

Before the words fell, Major General Su Mengxin, the chief of the Intelligence Division of the General Staff who had been promoted by the captain of the personal guard of the Emperor Xiandi, got up suddenly, holding a black folder in his hand and reported it to him.

"First of all, report on the situation on the battlefield in the main allies of the West. Since occupying the Netherlands and repelling the British landing force, Germany is coordinating with Austria-Hungary to make all-out preparations for the summer and autumn offensive against Russia, and it is scheduled to launch a three-way offensive in the north, center, and south at the same time from mid-August. On the northern route, the greatly strengthened Neman Army, in conjunction with the main naval force, will storm the Gulf of Riga and open the door to St. Petersburg. In the center, heavy forces will be gathered, from Poland to Belarus, to seize Minsk, and to Moscow. The southern route, with the Austro-Hungarian army as the main body, continued to advance into the Ukrainian hinterland east of the Carpathians. ”

"On the German-French front, since the end of the Second Battle of Artois in June, the front tends to be calm, the German army is comprehensively strengthening its defenses to cope with the new offensive of the Entente forces, the German side has great confidence in its defense system on the western front, but under the influence of the British landing in the Netherlands, it began to worry that the British army would raid Jutland or force its way into the Baltic Sea, and hoped that our army would contain the British Navy as much as possible and prevent it from having the spare strength to launch a large-scale landing war."

"On the Italian front, the Austro-German army repeatedly thwarted the onslaught of the superior Italian army by virtue of the Izo River defense line, and it is reported that the latest Italian offensive was stopped on August 3, and the German and Austrian sides were confident that they could thwart the Italian follow-up attack, but also admitted that they were thus pinned down by no less than 30 divisions."

"On the Serbian front, the confrontation between the Serbian army and the Austrian army is still continuing, but the turning point is coming, according to the German side, Bulgaria has joined the German-Austrian Turkish alliance treaty, and is scheduled to join Germany and Austria to launch an operation against Serbia after the autumn, and it is believed that Serbia, which has suffered huge losses in the previous battle, will be completely resolved within the year."

"On the Turkish-Russian front, since the main force of the Turkish army annihilated the elite Caucasian Army in the area of Lake Van Lake, the Caucasian Russian army has been defeated and retreated all the way, and as of the beginning of this month, the Turkish army has not only recovered most of the lost territory, but also approached Yerevan and Batumi, Russia's border town in the Caucasus, with a two-way army."

"On the Palestinian front, following the failure of 20,000 Turkish troops to force their way across the Suez Canal in February, the Turkish army and the increasingly powerful British army have faced off in a stalemate in the Sinai Peninsula. In addition, on the Mesopotamian front, the Turkish troops in Iraq and the British troops stationed in Kuwait have also faced off several times

"As for the enemy countries of the Entente, it is reported that a military conference attended by all the representatives of the Entente was recently held in Chantilly, France, and the details of the meeting are unknown. What is certain, however, is that in the future, the countries of the Entente will coordinate and cooperate more in a coordinated manner, and in particular, they will strengthen coordination and support for Russia. In addition, with the rapid expansion of armaments and the gradual recovery of naval strength, the United States will become more and more active in the next few months, and the focus of operations in the near future is most likely to be ...... in the Pacific direction."
