Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 120 The First Fortress In The Far East (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Gentlemen, I know that the Orientals are very strong. However, everyone should also know that our strength is stronger. Before the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it may be difficult for our military power to be projected to the Far East. However, now It's completely different. I have ordered the 5th Army to be ready. Once the war breaks out, the 5th Army will go to the Far East to reinforce you as soon as possible.

At the same time, the 1st Army, as well as other troops, were able to mobilize some troops as reserves one after another. Once the war is unfavorable, these troops can go to the Far East continuously through the railway. I believe that we have enough strength to defeat the Orientals. After all, even without mobilization, our standing army has already reached 1.6 million people!"

Mikhail said to a group of generals.

The generals of the 6th Army including "740", including Admiral Kuropatkin, nodded again and again.

The power of the Tsarist Russian Empire is beyond doubt, they have the largest standing army in the world. However, because the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire is too vast, there are too many areas that need to be garrisoned. Therefore, it seems that the military strength is not enough.

However, once the war breaks out, the Tsarist Russian Empire will mobilize as many troops as possible to participate in the war. If it doesn't work, the Tsarist Russian Empire can also mobilize.

You must know that the Tsarist Russian Empire has perfected its mobilization system over the years, and that is no joke.

In addition, the Trans-Siberian Railway has been completed, do the Orientals still want to defeat the Tsarist Empire? That is simply delusional.

If the Trans-Siberian Railway is completed before the completion, the Orientals may have a chance. But now, they have no chance.

"In the coming time, everyone must continue to strengthen the training of the army and the construction of fortifications. Especially the northern part of Korea and the Kanto Prefecture are the top priorities. I hope that we can resist the Eastern Sea on these two important battlefields. Human attack!" Mikhail ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the generals answered one after another.

Mikhail stayed in Vladivostok for two days before heading south to the Kanto region.

There, there is Lushun Military Port, which is known as the first fortress in the Far East. Here is also the main anchorage of the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. At the same time, the entire fortress has also been strengthened by the Tsarist Russian Empire Army and Navy over the past few years.

When Mikhail and others arrived in Kanto State, Vice Admiral Alexeyev, commander of the Pacific Fleet, was already waiting for the generals of the Pacific Fleet.

Although, the Pacific Fleet is currently downgraded to an offshore defense fleet. However, after the strength has been strengthened and equipped with a large number of battleships and armored cruisers, the strength of the entire fleet has been greatly improved compared to before. This made Lieutenant General Alexeyev slowly accept the reality that the Pacific Fleet is no longer the main force of the Tsarist Russian Empire's navy.

Of course, if possible, he also hopes that the Pacific Fleet still has the hope of becoming the main fleet.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, Your Majesty the Empress, welcome to Lushun Military Port!" Lieutenant General Alekseev said.

Mikhail nodded, he was filled with emotion for this military port.

At the beginning, the Qing Empire built this military port for the Beiyang navy to berth. But I didn't expect that before the construction of the military port was completed, it would be defeated by the Orientals. The Qing Empire had to cede this place to the Orientals.

But the Tsarist Russian Empire could not tolerate this, so it intervened forcibly, forcing the Orientals to return this place to the Qing Empire.

However, the Tsarist Russian Empire soon forced the Qing Empire to lease this area to the Tsarist Russian Empire. Not only that, the Tsarist Russian Imperial Army also entered the Koryo Peninsula to "trial the Easterners to rob the Koryo Peninsula.

At that time, the strength of the Eastern Empire was far from being able to compete with the Tsarist Russian Empire, so it could only recognize it by pinching its nose. But it also made the Orientals hate the Tsarist Russian Empire to the bone

Later, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Alexeyev, Mikhail visited the entire Lushun Fortress.

This place deserves to be known as the No. 1 military port in the Far East, especially in recent years, the Tsarist Russian Empire has also strengthened the construction of the military port and deployed a large number of coastal defense artillery. Especially the most famous highland 203, that is, in another space-time war, the highland where the Orientals suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of fortifications and coastal defense forts were built.

"Your Majesty, after the Lushun Fortress has been reinforced, its defensive strength has been significantly improved by 0. The entire fortress is equipped with a total of 12 305mm coastal defense guns, 18 280mm coastal defense guns, and 36 210mm coastal defense guns. artillery, and more than a hundred 155mm coastal defense guns. In addition, it is also equipped with a large number of 105mm light howitzers and 75mm field guns.

The entire fortress has built a large number of machine gun bunkers, permanent firepower points and artillery positions, all connected by trenches. Once attacked, this place will become a whole. Strong fortifications, enough to resist attacks from the sea. Even the enemy's 305mm naval gun can hardly destroy the coastal defense fort.

In addition, the 7th and 8th Brigades of the Imperial Marine Corps, as well as the two infantry divisions of the Army, garrisoned Lushun Fortress and the surrounding area. If the battle doesn't go well, we can push into the fortress and defend it. In the fortress, a large amount of food, ammunition and other supplies are stored, enough to last for more than a year. "

Lieutenant General Alexeyev is still very concerned about the current construction of Lushun Fortress.

Mikhail nodded. On the whole, the defense of Lushun Fortress has indeed been greatly strengthened. It is definitely not so easy for the Orientals to conquer here. If it is not done well, it will be smashed here and the loss will be heavy.

Of course, the current fortress also has shortcomings. 1.4 That is, all the fortifications of the fortress are almost deployed on the front, but they are facing the direction of the sea. Once the Japanese attack from behind, it will be very difficult to resist. You know, the Orientals are best at detours behind the scenes.

So, Mikhail specifically pointed this out.

"Next, we will strengthen the fortifications behind the fortress, build more forts, machine gun bunkers, dark forts, pull up barbed wire, deploy minefields, etc. Once the Japanese attack from behind the fortress, let them Blood flowed like a river. I hope that after the war breaks out, even if this place is under heavy siege by the Orientals, I can persist until the reinforcements arrive!" Mikhail said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! We promise to complete the task!" Lieutenant General Alexeyev replied. .
