Chapter 162 Politician's Heart

Under the clear chandeliers, Qingying's slightly magnetic sound echoed in the luxurious room.

"A few months ago, the situation in the Far East was still in a good situation for Nikola, but the current situation is different. In order to deal with Russia's behavior of reaching its own doorstep, Japan recruited a large number of reserve personnel to the army, and the total strength increased to 300,000; and these reserve personnel almost all had the experience of being trained by German instructors, and their combat capabilities should not be underestimated. And the Russian army there had only reached the rule of an army group

The model is twice as many as the total number of Japanese army opposite; even though the group of Japanese monkeys are generally only 5 feet tall and may be crushed by combat nations from Tungus in hand-to-hand combat, these physical disadvantages have been largely offset by rifles and cannons in today's era of hot weapons. There are still many places to be built in their Dalian Fortress and Vladivostok Fortress, and it is still a long distance from the solid garrison."

Qing Ying took a purple pot from the stove, poured William a cup of rich coffee again, and then said, "After all, it was because my Nikolai was too ambitious. Before the Russian army in the Far East had accumulated a strong enough, he couldn't wait to order the Russian army to stop retreating and reoccupate the Manchuria area of ​​the Qing Dynasty. I couldn't figure out what the benefits of that kind of place were, which made him swallow it whole without caring about whether his appetite could be digested. If I were Nikolai, I wouldn't have killed a shot last year and stayed in the Manchu area of ​​the Qing Dynasty. Instead, I would have withdrawn all the troops to the north of Heilongjiang and mobilized the army and reserved supplies. After two years of everything being ready, I would have rushed south. Only then would it be like a tsunami rolling!"

Bilo said with a slight hint: "What Your Highness said is very much. If the Tsar acts according to this strategy, he will obtain the entire Manchuria and North Korea as their yellow Russian colonies without any suspense, and even include a part of the Japanese mainland in their territory. Unfortunately, the Tsar Majesty does not seem to be a person who can endure loneliness." Speaking of this, Bilo glanced at the emperor William sitting on the top, and then said: "Whenever the Russian flag is raised somewhere, it will never fall."

Next’ Under the guidance of such an extreme expansion concept, he naturally refused to give up the Manchuria region that he had already obtained and dreamed of. Such a forced act regardless of his strength would inevitably lead to an unfavorable and passive situation. Faced with Japan’s extremely tough attitude, Russia has no way at this stage. They are inferior to Japan in terms of military strength, and reinforcements and supplies are even more disasters; while the Tsar was still unwilling to give up Manchuria temporarily, which created a situation that was almost unsolvable for the Russians.”

William muttered, with a look of surprise on his face and said, "At present, Russia urgently needs to strengthen the strength of the Far East; however, since the Manchurian front is too far from Europe, one-way supply will take about 6 weeks, and their strength in Manchuria will grow very limited. Therefore, Nicki thought of such a way to transport troops directly from sea to sea. Although the sea freight distance from the Baltic Sea to Dalian Bay is several times longer than land, the troop transport ship can arrive within a month, and the things that can be loaded on a large-scale ship are much stronger than the capacity of his unfinished broken railway. However, I don't understand one thing. Since Nicki is planning to use land and sea transportation to increase troops to the Far East at the same time, then using their own ships, why do you still have to come to Germany?"

"About this, Nicholas may be due to the following two reasons." Qingying sorted out her thoughts and briefly said to William and Bilo.

"One of the reasons is the insufficient shipping capacity of Russia. This time, Nikolai was preparing to directly send three divisions to the Far East, with a total force of nearly 50,000 people, and there were countless weapons, ammunition and mules and horses. With the current transportation capacity of the Russian Navy, it is almost impossible to transport so many personnel and materials to the Manchuria region. Although ordinary materials such as food, forage, building materials, etc. can also be requisitioned for loading by merchant ships, in this case of ultra-long-range delivery of more than 7,000 nautical miles, a large number of soldiers, arms and ammunition are directly

Things related to war must be transported by special troop transport ships. In order to conquer the Philippines, Germany built or modified a considerable troop transport fleet, which could barely be able to do the job, so Nikola came to us." Speaking of this, Qingying felt a little helpless. In history, Russia did not have such an action to transport troops by sea on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War. And in this plane, due to the butterfly effect caused by himself, the Russians actually made such a move, which was really unexpected.

William snorted faintly and said, "I have sent all the troops of the three divisions and all the corresponding war materials to the Far East in an instant. Nicki has a good idea. Is there any other reason?"

"The second and most important point is that Nikola wants to tie us to his Far East chariot as a shield to provide guarantee for the safe delivery of the army troops of his three divisions. After all, this is an army of nearly 50,000 people, and the various military supplies put into operation exceeded 70,000 tons. It is necessary to ensure the absolute safety of the ultra-long-distance troop transport this time. After the fleet passed the Taiwan Strait in the Far East, it entered the range of activities of the Japanese Navy. The more than two days of itinerary was enough for the Japanese to take any action! The Japanese fought ten years ago and the act of sneak attacking the Qing army transport ship was still vivid in my mind. This time, the presentation was

There was such a large piece of fat in front of them, and it was impossible for the Japanese to take action. If Japan took a desperate bet and directly sent a fleet to intercept and sink the Russians' troop transport fleet, then even if all the main forces of the navy in Dalian Bay were dispatched, it would be impossible to ensure that the transport fleet was safe! Therefore, if the Russians were riding our ships and the ships on them were all German sailors, the Japanese would be very likely to be afraid of my German attitude and dare not act. In this way, Nikola could successfully complete the troop transport operation and directly send these three divisions to the Manchuria area to strengthen the military strength." Qingying said with a wry smile.

"We must never agree to this request from Nicki. We can support Russia on the Far East issue, but that must be a slight boost to their actions when Russia can be consumed without affecting our Germans. The Russians transferred three divisions to the Far East and did not have much effect on reducing the pressure on Germany in the East. They have a total of 70 divisions in Europe; and if we agree to their request, it is equivalent to walking in front of the stage from behind the scenes and directly helping them bear the risks of war that belong to them. This is absolutely not feasible!"

After hearing Qingying say this, William shook his head and said, "If Japan still ignores our ships and people and ships, we lack effective means to check and balance them. At present, we only have the battleship "Caesar Barbarossa" in the Far East, and we cannot threaten them with force to force them to submit. In terms of economy, the 300 million mark ultra-usual loan we sent to them before still has a lot of returns. If we fall out with them, it will be an unfavorable situation for Germany. The most important thing is that once our ship is sunk by Japan, Germany will be dragged down by Russia from the quagmire of war that originally belonged to them. Faced with the angry people who asked to give the Japanese a little color, what should the government go to in the Far East War, which is obviously not proportional to the input-output input-output? The British-Japanese alliance is an extremely important factor! So let this matter be left to the French allies of Nicki."

—————————————————————————

"That, the French have rejected Russia's request. With my efforts, Sanniya finally explained this situation." Qingying coughed and said slightly unnaturally.

"Huh?" William frowned, with a strange look in his eyes. I don't know if he was surprised by the abnormal behavior of the French, or the question of the methods used by Qingying to obtain this information. Qingying didn't feel any surprise in this situation: when the Russian Second Pacific Fleet in history went east, the French refused to add coal to the Russian fleet, or did the German Lufthansa Shipping Company rented 70 coal transport ships from the Russian fleet, and allowed the colonies along the way to open the door for the coal increase and docking of the Russian fleet. In fact, the French's actions were not difficult to understand: Your actions now have long been betrayed the original intention of my alliance with you, and they did everything that would benefit the evil Germans. So why should I provide you with convenience?

After a long time, Bilo suddenly spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, I think we can promise the Russians to help them transport troops!" William said in surprise: "But Bernhard, the current situation in the Far East is already extremely tense. If Germany handed over the ships and people to the Russians to transport troops, its safety will not be guaranteed at all! In addition, we have no reason to help the Russians bear this risk that originally belonged to them."

As soon as Bilo held the corner of his mouth, a ruthless look was faintly revealed on the kind face of the uncle next door. He waved to Qingying, then came to William and muttered a few words in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"Will Nicki agree to this... such harsh conditions? If I were him, I would rather not transport troops from sea than get involved!" William opened his mouth slightly, and his words also contained a little unbearable feeling, "Also, you seem to be too cruel, they are all citizens of my German Empire!"

Biluo said slowly: "How can you know if you don't try it? What's more, this time the troop transport is not a life-threatening death. In order to reduce the losses, the number of sailors on the troop transport ship can be minimized and the Russian sailors can fill it in large quantities. If this trip is unfortunate, then they can create so much profit for the empire... it will definitely be worth the rest of their lives, right?"
