C1462 The situation in the Far East

On the deck, Zai Chun looked at his master with incomparable admiration. The negotiations were really exciting, and the intelligence and nimbleness his master had displayed was hard to imagine.

In the face of an old English fox, instead of directly firing a cannon, she would use two so-called fictional stories to pry open the psychological defense line, slowly substituting the opponent into his own tempo step by step.

Zai Chun hoped that he himself had such eloquence, and in the future, he would be able to fight in the imperial court.

However, why did the master who had boarded the ship not feel happy at all? Instead, he entered the cabin tiredly? Zai Chun wanted to go in to visit his master, but before he could even take a step, he saw Wang Huaiyuan and Sakamoto Ryoma quickly walking in, and then with a bang, he closed the cabin door.

"Forget it, let's wait until midnight before talking more with Master …" Zai Chun did not dare disturb the meeting in the cabin, and turned to return to his own cabin.

The Zhiyuan Warship pierced the waves and started to head north along the coastline of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Further east, on the waterway, one after another cargo ship after another rode the wind and waves north, heading towards the Sea of Japan.

The equipment provided by the Chinese to the Braveheart Army of the Far East was reproduced on countless of cargo ships, and the military cargo ships from the America were unloading from the further south. Some of the ships did not even need to unload their goods, and directly headed towards the north.

Hundreds of millions of funds were pulled out of Jiangnan and poured into the Ryukyu like a golden river. By now, the arms trading channel from Europe had been cut off, and Prussia had finished distributing the last shipment of arms to the Chinese last month. The remaining resources would be used for the war.

British inspections of Chinese goods have also become more stringent. Attempting to purchase arms from other European countries is no longer possible. Fortunately, the American Pacific Passage was still considered safe. Although the Americans was used to robbing while there was still fire to raise prices, there was nothing they could do about it.

The funds raised from Jiangnan were finally put to good use. The greedy American merchants were shocked by the wealth of the East, and almost all the arms traders on the West Coast joined in this rare feast of wealth.

The money had become arms supplies, and the supplies had become fuel for the burning of lives in the Far Eastern Battlefield. The Haishenwai's decisive battle was getting closer and closer.

"How is the weather in Haishenwai right now?" Xiao Letian asked.

"It's still very cold, but the snow in the sun is showing signs of melting, and the ice on the river is not as solid. The military reports these few times have reported the loss of soldiers and equipment due to the ruptured ice …"

"Jiangnan is already a patch of green, but the white mountains and black water are still frozen. It's also April, why is the difference so huge!" Xiao Letian rubbed his temples, "Will this affect the war?"

Wang Huaiyuan laughed, "Prime minister is wrong, not only does the weather not affect us, it is beneficial to us! This is because once the snow that has continued to fall for a winter melts away, the river that opens up will turn the entire Far East into a muddy mess, which is not good for the movement of our army! "

Xiao Letian nodded his head: Very good, how is the comparison in strength between the two sides?

"Throughout the entire winter, Sharal Commander Ji Yaqinke kept shrinking her military strength. Currently, the Haishenwai Fortress has a total of 3,000 members of the Sharal regular army, while Outer Mongolia and the other armies have more than 7,000 members. The total is 10,000 …"

"Also for the navy, there are more than 2,300 sailors in the 12 Haishenwai's defensive fleet. Once the Russia warships that escaped from the Amami Oshima converge, the navy would have more than 3,000 soldiers, that's all …"

Sakamoto Ryoma flipped through the intelligence report with a smile on his face, "On the contrary, the Dragon Lord is more optimistic. After a winter's continuous expansion of troops, the General Xiang now has four integrators, and the First Division that Chu Zhao leads and the Second Division that Lu Ying leads are basically built using Chinese military officers as the framework!"

"Taro Shimadzu, along with the Third Division that he led and the Fourth Division, made up of the Japanese samurai as the management skeleton. The forty thousand strong army has begun to take shape …"

Xiao Letian frowned, "Is this a general appointed by the Dragon Lord? Can the four of them do it? "

Wang Huaiyuan laughed, "If it's according to our Chinese standard, the four of them would have definitely almost … After all, Bing Tai, Yepingtai and the others had not become Regiment Leaders yet … But that's the Far East, not the Chinese. With the quality of the local soldiers, we have enough military officers! "

Wang Huaiyuan did not say anything. The cultivation of Chinese officers was definitely the top priority in Asia, even in Europe. Taro Shimadzu and Ling Mutai were not as famous as Yepingtai and Bing Tai Lang in the samurai Military Officers Group. They did not hold a high position in the Chinese Clan.

However, if such a second tier officer were to be sent to either the Great Qing or Fu Sang, he would definitely be a very good commander.

and Lu Ying were both middle ranking officers who grew up with Luo Huo. They were all members of the musket team back in the day, and there was a huge difference in strength between them.

However, if they were thrown into a Xishan Camp or a New Imperial Army, just based on their abilities, they would definitely be treated as the first in line. Let's not talk about other examples. Let's just talk about the operation on this map.

In order to draw the Military Maps, these intermediate officers had already begun to study the basics of calculus. In Europe, this was an unimaginably high standard.

"Forty thousand against thirteen thousand …" Xiao Letian carefully calculated: "On the surface, we are indeed at an advantage, but the quality of the soldiers are different!"

"The Russian soldier s that can be sent to the Haishenwai are all carefully selected from the veterans, including the Northern Mongolia Servant Army, they are even more valiant and barbaric, all eight flags of the Manchu could only be allied with them, and cannot be underestimated!"

"That's right! What about the reinforcements sent by the Central Asia? Which Russian cavalry do you have any information on? "

Wang Huaiyuan's expression became awkward. "I'm really sorry, CIA's intelligence network to the outside world is still very rough. Once we pass Baikal Lake, that would be our blind spot.

"No, no, no. You don't have to blame yourself. That land is indeed too far away from the Central Plains. You are not a god …" No matter what, Sha Ro's reinforcements are definitely rushing over. Our battles in the Haishenwai must be sped up! "

"Eat the Haishenwai's garrison as fast as you can. Then, order the Dragon Lord to send troops north to gather troops south of Black Dragon River … At that time, we will be able to see each other across the river with the reinforcements from Russia! "

"The weather is getting warmer and warmer. As long as the surface of the Black Dragon River breaks through the ice, the reinforcements from Russia who lack ships can forget about crossing the river. We will defend the Black Dragon River defense line and this war will become a protracted war …"

"Hehe, there's very little people living in the north of the Black Dragon River. Let's see where they can get their supplies!" "When the time comes, even if they're hungry, they'll starve to death …"
