Dong Dahai stood on the deck of the submarine, looking at the starry sky overhead, greedily breathing the breath that only belonged here, after being sent to cooperate with Yonglun's gang across the Indian Ocean, after three years of hibernation, he finally rushed back in time with the second squadron of Nighthawk

After three years of development, Yonglun finally built a small town there, and also controlled a small iron mine, although the resources there were only a drop in the bucket for the emperor, but it represented the Chinese officially landed on that continent and laid a foothold.

When will that foothold be enabled?

Dong Dahai didn't know, the special operations command didn't know, probably only the emperor and the general staff knew, this was not a matter of concern to him, what he cared about was that he hoped to rush back in time to participate in this war, as a mysterious and late command in the Chinese army, the special operations command changed by Nighthawk didn't want to leave the elite soldiers outside to watch the battle.

The soldiers were exhausted by the long journey across the Indian Ocean to Hokkaido, but time was running out, and although there was still some time before the war predicted by the General Staff, the war had already begun for the Nighthawks.

"Sir, we're here in twenty minutes."

After the sprawling region of Mongolia was redivided into three provinces, Baicheng, located in the fertile Horqin steppe of eastern Mongolia, has never felt so busy.

Baicheng is located at the junction of Jilin and Eastern Mongolia, which is not only the transit station of the Changchun-Mohe railway, but also the railway from East Mongolia to Kulun, the capital of Central Mongolia Province, is also stepping up construction.

This once quiet town is now bustling with troops, soldiers and cars from all over the country, and it seems to have become a huge military camp.

The soldiers crowded each other to look at the small city, and then under the command of the orderlies, they walked into the makeshift barracks, the gendarmes wearing white armbands and their eyes cold.

In the center of the barracks, three tall wooden towers were erected, with radio antennas piercing the sky, and even the towers had many other antennas, like grinning hedgehogs standing up.

Under the tower is the front-line headquarters of this battle, and the sandbags and machine guns outside the command center add a bit of tension to this hectic chaos.

Walking into the command headquarters, the first thing that catches your ears is the sound of telegraphs ticking in your ears, shuttling back and forth one after another, passing through dozens of relay stations along the way, as well as the forwarding of patrol airships in the sky, bringing together all kinds of information on the 10,000-mile frontier here, and taking away countless orders.

Standing in the center of the command hall, Zhao Long took a deep breath, as the deputy chief of the general staff, the commander-in-chief of the army, he now has another position, the commander of the Eastern Front.

Since he walked out of Canada and landed in Chile, he has always been a firm force around Li Mo, he has never participated in government discussions, nor is he as dazzling as Chen Ping, and he is not even as familiar to the outside world as Long Guozhang, but he really controls hundreds of thousands of land forces in this country, and more than half of the front-line generals in the army are almost all his people, he is a firm support force of the royal family, if there is no him, maybe Li Mo can sit firmly in the world.

Holding a lot of power, but low-key and extremely inconspicuous, it is even ignored, but only those core people understand that he is Li Mo's real arm

In order to maintain a strong maritime force, the army has been constantly artificially suppressed over the years, and even now that the country has been unified and has a huge number of troops in the world, it has not been frantically expanded.

Maintaining a capable and powerful army, with weapons and operational ideas ahead of other countries, has been an important thing for the army over the years, and he knows very well why Li Mo wants to do this, because at a time when the country's finances are tight, and even the royal family is starting to be stretched thin because of investment in education and the great northwest, it is unrealistic to maintain a large number of troops and a strong navy at the same time, but he has never complained, nor has he asked Li Mo to make a statement, and he has worked hard to do his own thing.

This time, he had 350,000 troops in his hands, but the enemy was likely to exceed 600,000 in the end, and although the 200,000 reservists had begun to conduct closed training in various places, he never thought of sending those soldiers who had just returned to school to shoot, because it would be irresponsible to the soldiers to do so

He knew, the emperor knew, and all the officers of the main force also knew

Some people have complained about why they don't wait a few years for a war, but everyone seems to have forgotten that Nicholas II was not willing to wait, geopolitics made it impossible for China and Russia to live in peace, and it was no joke that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and that Russia had exhausted its patience in order to retaliate for its defeat nine years ago, and if it was far from being able to send troops to the Russians using the Trans-Siberian Railway, perhaps they would face not 600,000, but 1 million, or even 2 million

So it's a battle that has to be fought

"Report to the commander, the chief of the general staff has arrived, and the commanders of all divisions have already gathered in the conference room."

"Let's go." Zhao Long nodded, grabbed the first black star that Li Mo gave him when he was finalized, and walked to the conference room next to him with firm steps.

The conference room was actually a huge tent, with rows of stools and no tables, only the huge jumbled map hanging in front of it, marked with red and blue lines and arrows, could tell the tension.

Seeing Zhao Long come in, everyone immediately got up and saluted, and after nodding, Zhao Long saluted Chen Ping, walked to the side and sat down in silence as always, and nodded at Zhang Zuolin.

"Hello everyone, you're welcome, let's get straight to the topic."

After years of training, Zhang Zuolin has become accustomed to picking up the baton and standing outside the battle situation, although he does not lead troops on the front line, no one dares to underestimate this general army coordination staff officer who is already a brigadier general, even Sun Jiugong, who is the same year as him and is already the commander of the Northwest Army, does not dare to boo this partner of the year when he sits in the front row.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Zuolin walked to the map and used his baton to draw a circle outside Kulen to the Kamchatka Peninsula: "This is our goal, it is our territory, and the total area is more than five times that of the southeastern provinces."

A simple circle, but it aroused the breath of dozens of officers and generals present, looking at that huge territory, everyone knew what it meant

Even Chen Ping and Zhao Long couldn't help but squint their eyes, secretly saying that Zhang Zuolin was powerful, and with just one sentence and one circle, they mobilized everyone.

"It's as difficult as a huge territory." Zhang Zuolin pointed to the direction of Vladivostok and said: "Siberia has a small population, but the territory is vast, the winter is long, the geographical environment is very harsh, and this has always been a place of exile for Russia to deal with, so the people are fierce, everyone must pay more attention to the Russians around." ”

"In addition, judging from the information currently available, the post of Alekseev, the governor of the Russian Far East, has been vacated, and the Russian army has been divided into three arrows, the first is the Eastern Army with Vladivostok and Shuangcheng as the main army, with a total of three armies, ten divisions, and a total number of 150,000.

The commander was Admiral Bildrlinger of the Russian Army, and his troops were mainly veterans of the former Far Eastern Military District and Russian peasants urgently recruited locally. ”

"The middle road is centered on the north of Lake Berga through which the Trans-Siberian Railway passes, and the troops here are also abundant, all of them are troops transferred from Europe, and only at present there are four armies, about 200,000 people, of which 50,000 are elite Cossack cavalry, and the commander is under the personal command of the Russian Minister of War and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East, Kuropatkin."

"At present, the Western Group Army is all concentrated outside the Tangnu Ulianghai and Xinjiang Tacheng, with 100,000 troops for the two armies, and the troops are all troops from the Central Asia and West Asia Military Region and local conscripted peasants from near Yekaterinburg, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but considering that it is close to Yekaterinburg, Russia has coveted Tangnu Ulianghai and Xinjiang for a long time, so it is expected that the follow-up troops of the Russian army will concentrate on supporting this place."

"The basic operational plan of the emperor and the General Staff at present is to concentrate on eating the eastern and central armies of the Russian army, while the western part is supplemented by defense and interception, and while ensuring the security of the homeland, it is necessary to strive to consume as much as possible the enemy's vital forces, contain the troops transferred from Europe, and cut off their arms to support the eastern and central regions."

After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, he lowered the baton in his hand, grabbed a document, and suddenly flashed after scanning it.

"Command."

As he spread out the documents in his hand, only to hear the sound of brushing, dozens of division commanders all stood up, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

"Continue to appoint Sun Jiugong as the commander of the Northwest Theater, the original 2nd and 4th Infantry Divisions and the 1st and 3rd Cavalry Divisions remain unchanged, and the 5th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Infantry Divisions will be added to be responsible for the security of Tangnu and Wulianghai and Xinjiang."

"The Northeast Theater was formed, and Commander Zhao Long was under the jurisdiction of the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Infantry Divisions, the 2nd and 4th Cavalry Divisions, and the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions, which were responsible for combat missions in Kulen, Mohe, and the northeast."

"The Fifteenth Infantry Division, the Fifth Cavalry Division and ten reserve divisions will serve as general reserves."

As Zhang Zuolin finished issuing the order of the General Staff, Zhao Long got up and walked slowly in front of everyone: "We are sitting here, and it is still quiet outside, but I can tell you that the war has begun."

"The warm Luzon here is not a comfortable beach, this is the northern Xinjiang and Siberia, I hope everyone understands that this is a hard battle, and we must be prepared for hardship"

"Before leaving, the emperor said to me that this time we are isolated, the whole world is isolating us, but he is ready, and he also believes that when we win, the world will look at us with admiration"

"Don't expect reinforcements behind you, we are the army, spit is a nail, and people who are born to rush forward with bullets and explosions If you can't even accept this, it's better to go back to the nurse"

"Remember that sentence."

"Where you step on your feet, you are the land"
