"Your Majesty, although the East Asian Empire is not as powerful as us, we are not as powerful as them. However, he could not be underestimated. Over the years, their industry had developed greatly. Moreover, they had a large population of more than 40 million. Even if it could not be compared to the Empire, it was still quite a lot. More importantly, the Empire's hinterland was too far away from the Far East.
The Japanese could quickly mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers into battle. If they relied on the 6th Army Corps alone, it would be very difficult for them to resist the attack of the Japanese.”
Admiral Kuropatkin did not doubt Michael's prediction. However, he was also very worried about the upcoming war.
"I know that the 6th Army has limited strength. It was indeed very difficult to rely on the 6th Army to resist the Japanese. However, when the war broke out, the Siberian railway was already open to traffic. The 5th Army will support you with all their might. If necessary, the 1st Army could also rush to the Far East to provide reinforcements. This way, we will have enough strength to deal with the Japanese.
Although the East Asian people could mobilize a large number of troops. Moreover, their soldiers were fearless in battle. However, the disadvantage of the Japanese was also very obvious. Whether it was weapons or firepower, they could not compare to the reorganized army of the Imperium.
Even if our military strength is inferior to the enemy, our combat strength should be far above the Japanese!”
Mihail was very confident about this.
This was also the reason why he had strongly promoted the reorganization of the army.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Kuropatkin nodded repeatedly.
If they could get reinforcements from the 5th Army and other troops. Then, he had no problem.
"In addition, the Imperial Army will also need to strengthen the construction of fortifications in the Far East. The Empire's army had to be strengthened in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, the Kanto region, the northeast region of the Qing Empire, and the coastal areas of the far east of the Empire. I'll inform the Pacific Fleet.
Once the war broke out, the Empire's defense line in the Far East would definitely be attacked by the Japanese. The Empire's hinterland was too far away from the Far East. Even if the railway was built, it would still take a lot of time to send the army to the Far East. Thus, the Empire's army and navy needed to rely on powerful fortifications to resist the attacks of the Japanese. Moreover, they would use the fortifications to kill the Japanese. They were preparing for the dynasty's counterattack!”
Mihail continued.
In another time and space, after the war between the Japanese Empire and the Russian Empire broke out, the Japanese had already invested their main forces in the early stages of the war and attacked the Russian army.
The combat power of the Russian army in another space-time could not be compared to that of this space-time. Even though they had caused great casualties to the East Asian people, they were still unable to stop them.
In the end, Nicholas II was unwilling to accept defeat and mobilized the main force of the navy to form the Second Pacific Fleet for an expedition. In the end, they were completely wiped out by the East Asian people.
This also caused the navy of the Russian Empire, which was once ranked among the top three in the world, to almost disappear.
In this spacetime, such a situation naturally had to be avoided as much as possible.
"Yes, Your Majesty. However, if the Empire wanted to fight against the Japanese, the most important thing was probably the navy.
The Japanese Empire was a country made up of islands. If their army wanted to land on the Korean Peninsula and attack the empire, they would need the protection of the navy. Otherwise, if they were unable to seize control of the sea, the Imperial Navy could completely cut off their logistics supply line.”Admiral Kuropatkin said.
Mihail nodded repeatedly. He naturally understood this point.
"You're right. The navy is indeed very important. The Japanese were already developing their navy. The people of Sun Never Sets were building various types of warships for the Japanese. At the same time, the Japanese were also building their own warships. This allowed the strength of the East Asian navy to develop by leaps and bounds. In a very short period of time, it could pose a huge threat to the Imperial Navy.
Next, the dynasty would also increase the development of the navy and strive to defeat the Japanese navy in future wars!”
Mihail was also very clear that the navy was the decisive force in the battle against the Japanese.
Otherwise, even if the army managed to stop the Japanese on the ground, they would not be able to achieve a perfect victory.
This also meant that the Russian Empire had to pay attention to the development of the navy. He had to build a powerful navy that could cross more than half of the Earth and defeat the Japanese Empire in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for the Russian Empire to win the future war.
The Sun Never Sets Empire alone would not watch the Russian Empire win. They would definitely use all kinds of methods to hinder the Russian Empire.
Although the Russian Navy was not weak, it was too scattered. If they wanted to reinforce the Far East region, they would have to cross more than half of the Earth. This was undoubtedly the greatest dilemma that the Russian Navy was facing.
