There are no excess exhaust emissions, no high-rise buildings, only patches of primeval forests as far as the eye can see, and even the years when industry has just begun, Vladivostok at the end of August can already feel a trace of coolness. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

Walking through this coastal base, which is located thirty kilometers northeast of Vladivostok, Li Mo breathed in the clear air to his heart's content, although the rumbling explosions could still be heard from time to time in the direction of Vladivostok Fortress, thirty kilometers away, but this could not interrupt his thoughts.

After more than ten days of more than 10,000 workers' efforts, this forward base has begun to emerge, the huge open space in the center has been occupied by the Air Force, those huge hippopotamus-class airships after many transfers, finally arrived here yesterday, their arrival, but also indicates that the Vladivostok fortress has entered the countdown.

For this war, the Air Force put 50 Falcon and 30 small reconnaissance airships on the 10,000-mile frontier, and also temporarily modified 10 large Hippopotamus-class airships for communication and forwarding to ensure smooth communication between the army.

The Air Force has shown its own value, but it is not enough for Li Mo, although he hopes to immediately have the Air Force as the protagonist of the battle, but unfortunately the northern frontier is too vast, with airships and existing Falcon technology, the current little bit of the Air Force can't even splash down, so it can only focus on a little application.

Although it was dusk and the searchlights began to shine in all directions, the soldiers were still busy, but because his arrival was classified, and he was immediately stationed at the *** air base after arriving, only a few people knew that the young emperor of the Chinese Empire had quietly come to Vladivostok.

The news that the middle lane finally opened up the situation and achieved the expected strategic advantage in the first stage was not only for him, but also for many people.

In particular, although the Prime Minister's Office did not activate the war emergency bill and did not announce a national mobilization, in fact, many people know that when the construction boom in various places is still ongoing, Li Enfu's work during this period has actually been all about the war in the north.

War is not just a matter of the army, the special budget for the war of 500 million blue coins made the parliament almost go crazy when it was reviewed, fortunately, everyone knows that this is a necessary war, and the geopolitical *** determines that Russia and China cannot coexist, only by completely removing the threat from the north and recovering the northern land, Hua can be regarded as truly standing.

The parliament and the Prime Minister's Office are gritting their teeth, and they have even made a plan to come up with the second batch of 500 million blue coins budget and recruit 200,000 troops again, that is, they will fully support the army to win this war. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Even Li Mo didn't expect the Prime Minister's Office and the Parliament to work so firmly hand in hand, although he knew very well from the beginning that after she firmly adopted the two-party system, the future Parliament and the Prime Minister's Office will be a pair of enemies, and he also hopes to see that there can be containment, but the current two-party system is still in the bud, and the idea of imperial power in China is still very strong, especially the emperor is still there, although he is an emperor and has also implemented the constitution, but there has been no collapse of imperial power during the Xinhai period, and the people's helplessness has led to the country eventually falling into warlordism and chaos. Therefore, his determination to fight this battle has undoubtedly become a huge weather vane.

However, the pressure is still very high, especially since such a large economic budget and the second batch of plans will inevitably have an impact on the country's still weak economy, so when the military captured Irkutsk, Uginsk (Ulan-Ude) and Chita in succession in 20 days, forming a huge semi-encirclement of Angarsk, all the officials breathed a long sigh of relief.

Because it is a sign that the war will not drag on for a few years as expected.

But this idea is only maintained in the minds of the officials below, and it is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief for Li Mo, Chen Ping, Enfu and others.

The 150,000 troops of the Russian army on the eastern front have basically not lost anything, after Vladivostok and Shuangcheng were surrounded, they didn't even want Shuangcheng, the 50,000 garrisons had all shrunk into the fortress of Vladivostok, and the 100,000 troops of Boli and Hailan Pao had all shrunk back after only a little contact, so how to speed up the eastern front and let the two marine divisions and one infantry division encircling Vladivostok pull out their hands and go north is an urgent problem.

Although the scale of the war on the Western Front is not large, the territory outside the Tangnu Ulianghai and *** is vast and the terrain is complex, so it is very difficult to hold on, and with the news of the encirclement of Angarsk, where the Russian army will increase its troops, it is certain to reinforce the central line along the Trans-Siberian Railway, so it cannot be negligent yet.

After the Fifth Cavalry Division went north, the 15th Division was also stationed in Irkutsk yesterday to increase the strength of the western encirclement, and at the same time, the two reserve divisions also took over Irkutsk and Chita as occupation forces, so as to clear out the remnants of the enemy and stabilize the local work, so that the main force could free up their hands.

In this case, it became a top priority to draw as many forces as possible to prevent the Russian army on the eastern front from moving closer to the center, and at the same time to prevent the arrival of other reinforcements on the western front.

In this case, the 60,000 troops surrounding Vladivostok will be eye-catching, and if they can be freed up to move eastward along the ready-made railway line across half of Siberia, then both the main forces of the eastern front in Boli and the central Kuropatkin will have only one way left to wait for death!

Speeding up the settlement of Vladivostok has become the consensus of everyone, but Irkutsk, which is less than one-fifth of the scale, fought for three days, killing and wounding more than 3,000 soldiers, not to mention Vladivostok, a fortified fortress known as the first in the Far East, and because the Russians had poured hundreds of mines into the waterway before, they could not clear them for the time being, and the fleet's heavy artillery could not play a role, so that many people were worried about how much they would have to pay.

But as two transports quietly arrived at the base under the protection of four destroyers, all fears began to dissipate.

Looking at the laborers who were carefully moving the big oil drum-like things off the Navy transport ship, Li Mo hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and asked, "Yuanshou, when did Nicholas II send out his super fleet?" ”

Li Mo's tone made Chen Ping smile and said: "Judging from yesterday's news, Nicholas II is still waiting for the next five Borodinos, the first four have all been delivered at the beginning of the month, and the latter Glory will be delivered as early as the end of September, and none of them have yet undergone sea trials, if they are all over, it will be at least March next year." ”

"So Nicholas II is scheduled to start the war in March next year, but we are the first to do so, but he is confident that the army can drag on until March, so he is still training sailors unhurriedly."

"Chief of Staff, did Nicholas II really put together forty capital ships?" Du Dazhuang interjected beside him and asked.

"It's possible." Chen Ping smiled: "Judging from our current information, if we don't buy more, Russia can only make up twenty first-class and second-class battleships, and about ten first-class armored cruisers, and thirty are already up to the sky." ”

"That's a lot." Du Dazhuang crossed his fingers and began to worry about the navy, but Li Mo didn't think so, there were only a few ships that Russia could fight, but the two speed-class ships sold by Britain made him quite worried, and asked: "How are the two speed-class?" ”

"The Russians were very happy when they got their hands on it, and they were not going to change the name and continue to use the name of the British ship, but the British were afraid that we would seize the handle, so they forced the Russians to change the name, which is currently called Peter the Great and St. Petersburg." Chen Ping continued: "Judging from the statistics of Britain last month, after obtaining these two battleships, Russia has surpassed France and become the third navy in the world. ”

"And there is one thing that I think should be noted, according to the intelligence officers, they found a device similar to our radio antenna on the Russian *** ship."

Chen Ping's words made Li Mo slam his steps.

Finally someone came out, but this was already in his expectation, the technology *** can not be a generation, after Marconi made a practical radio in history, there were also rumors in Russia that someone had studied it, but it was first registered and then disappeared in the long river of history, it seems that after Marconi died, the unknown scientist in Russia can take the lead.

However, he is already the third generation, and even the frequency modulation technology encryption technology pioneered by the United States during World War II has been broken by Tesla, so it is better to take out the first generation of technology to register a patent and take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Li Mo immediately said: "Russia must be the same as us, regard radio as a top secret, you go back and inform Chang Lin, immediately take our first-generation radio long-wave communication technology to Europe and the United States to register a patent, don't cheap Russia in vain." ”

"In addition, little Moltke has already arrived in Tianjin, and he will definitely ask to visit the front line when you go back, so you can bring him to Vladivostok."

"To Vladivostok?" Chen Ping frowned, although according to the plan, the Vladivostok offensive will be launched in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and the two transport ships also brought the equipment to be used this time, but after the destruction of Vladivostok last time, the Russians have seen the weakness, and they have been strengthening their defenses in the past few years, not only allowing the French to transport a large amount of cement, but also digging a large number of rocks from the nearby mountains to replenish.

Judging from the air force's reconnaissance in the past few days, there are 30 250-millimeter large-caliber heavy artillery pieces in Vladivostok, and there are as many as 100 other artillery pieces combined.

If you set off on your own now, a round trip will only take about four days, four days! Is it possible to complete the assault on Vladivostok? "Don't worry." Li Mo knew what Chen Ping was worried about, and pointed to the big oil barrels in the distance and said with a smile: "There are fifteen hundred tons of this thing, I will let Xue Muhua completely blow up this place before you come back!" ”

"When Moltke arrives here, you will immediately tell Europe about the victories of Angarsk and Vladivostok through his mouth." Li Mo took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a little cold star, and he snorted coldly: "I want to see if Nicholas II can hold back and save the decisive battle at sea until the beginning of tomorrow!" ”
