The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 508: The way out is in the East



"Because you are considering this issue purely from a military point of view, rather than analyzing it from an overall perspective. No matter how powerful an empire is, four points must be guaranteed. First, all citizens must have materials that can at least sustain their livelihoods. Second, materials. It can be deployed where they need it. Third, the people must have a firm belief that they can win. Fourth, there is a strong force to ensure internal stability!" The prince said with four fingers.

; "Well, we can now analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Britain, France and Russia in these four aspects. First of all, we can make sure that because Britain and France have maritime advantages and vast colonies, they can import all kinds of Materials and raw materials, perhaps they will suffer a bit during the war, but the people must have enough materials to make a living. At the same time, the communication lines in Britain and France are developed, the area is small, and there are almost no transportation problems. You admit that?" Prince Said.

"Yes, I admit it, but although Russia will be blocked by us, it also meets the first and second conditions." Xiao Mao nodded and said.

"Let’s talk about Russia first, first talk about Britain and France." The prince continued: "If from the perspective of national beliefs, Britain and France of a single nation are obviously stronger than Russia. There is no doubt about this, right? Russia unified with cavalry and artillery. The vast territory, but there are Poles, Finns, Ukrainians, and various ethnic groups in Central Asia. Although the Russians have advantages, they are very limited. Russia is far inferior to Britain and France. Isn’t it wrong?”

"So good, the last point! Have enough power to ensure internal stability! Generally speaking, the Russian army is inferior to France. Is this certain? In time, the Russians have more territory and more soldiers, but now it is decided. There is also a very important index of a country’s military level, which is its industrial capability. Russia’s industry is very poor, which determines that there is a huge amount of space but not enough quality. Generally speaking, it is still weak. The so-called hard-to-fight is not Russia. How strong is the military power, but natural conditions. Don't you think?" The prince said with a smile.

"What you said is very reasonable, but I always feel that there is a problem." Xiao Maoqi became a little hazy. In his heart, he did not agree with the prince's statement, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute it. Because he has never considered these things from a non-military point of view.

; "Well, since you don’t understand, then I’ll just tell you. The first thing we have to make sure is that the Russians can’t retreat without restrictions. Their people also need food, and factories also need fuel and fuel. Raw materials, so they can't lose some key areas, such as Ukraine!" The prince pointed to the Ukrainian region on the map with the putter in his hand.

; "Yes, more than half of the Russians' food comes from Ukraine, which is a large granary for hundreds of millions of Russians, but it is a bit far away from us, and this place is too big, it is very difficult for us to occupy. You said Occupying Ukraine does not make much sense, because it is difficult to do." Little Mochi said.

; "No, no, before we hit Ukraine, the Russian national economy had problems. Although he had relatively sufficient supplies, he did not have a channel for efficient transportation. In Ukraine, their railways The line density is only a few tenths of ours. Under normal circumstances, these railway lines can still meet the needs. The food and coal resources here are transported to the northern Baltic coast and Moscow. However, once the war enters, the personnel and military materials are Transportation will squeeze a large amount of civilian capacity. Even if we do not occupy Ukraine, as long as we maintain the offensive posture, there will be a shortage of their supplies!" The prince said and handed a document to Xiao Maoqi.

"This is a research report on the railway transportation system in Russia and Eastern Europe compiled by my people. The Russians may strengthen the railway system in Poland for war, but they cannot strengthen the railway system in the entire Eastern Europe in a short period of time. They lack horizontal funds. The North-South railway line, the exchange of materials between North and South will be very troublesome. During the war, this problem will be further expanded. The Russian railway system is very chaotic. Railways of various specifications and modes of transportation are flooding all corners of the country. , This makes their fault tolerance rate very low, so if once war starts, they will die of hardening of the blood vessels!" The prince finally made a very vivid analogy.

"On the one hand, it is a military failure, and on the other hand, there is an extreme lack of living materials. Well, tell me, in Russia, a country with more serious ethnic problems and severe class antagonism, what will happen next? There is no shortage of anti-government organizations in Russia now. Whether it is the bourgeoisie or the Bolsheviks, they will not give up this opportunity. The internal contradictions in Russia will become a very dangerous explosive package, which will explode with just a little spark! "

"By the way, there is another problem, and that is the weakening of the Russian military power! Think about it, when the Russian army loses to a certain extent, how can their remaining troops suppress the opposition forces in the vast territory? Their troops themselves With insufficient food and lack of mobility to other regions, soldiers of different beliefs and political orientations no longer trust each other. This huge country will eventually become hollowed out~www.novelhall.com~ may collapse at any time! "

"Then we use the opportunity of their internal struggle to expand the result and secure the victory?" Xiao Maoqi thought for a while and said.

; "No, no, no, we don't want to intervene at the beginning. The ancient East has such a saying, brothers humiliated outside the wall to resist their insults. This sentence means that if there is no external pressure, they will become one. If there is external pressure, they will be unanimous to the outside world. Well, in that case, why don’t we provide all parties with weapons, ammunition and even personnel in exchange for food and various materials. On the one hand, the confrontation between them will escalate. , And on the other hand, have we obtained supplies and supplies?" The prince said with a smile.

; It’s not an efficiency to go out to grab and exchange things for yourself. When you go out to grab yourself, beware of the master’s cold gun, play hide-and-seek with the master, use violence to grab a little bit of food, and then try your best to transport from the seriously damaged road come back! But it's different to exchange things, especially when you use weapons to return them during the war. This thing is more valuable than real money! The most important thing in troubled times is the barrel of the gun! No matter which force within Russia, they will not ignore the "goodwill" of the Germans, and will return this "goodwill" with the utmost sincerity!
