CHAPTER XXVIII Lithuanian Province 3 Vilnius Plan
Sun Sick is back.
This was what Nikan agreed to. After Sun Dean was sent to Australia, Nikan suddenly remembered Sun Sick's goodness, mainly because he thought, "If it weren't for his son, he wouldn't have been like this. Now Luo Jizhi has arrived. As an old local snake, it's not a big deal for him to waste his time in Crimea."
Therefore, after Luo Jizhi applied, Sun Sick returned to Minsk.
Of course, this is also related to the current situation. In the past, there were two legions in the Grand Duchy of Minsk, Sun Sek, stationed in Minsk (Belarus), Hulugong Legion, and stationed in Koenigsburg. After taking over Lithuania, the Daxia Kingdom quickly used graduates from various domestic infantry schools and cavalry schools to build the skeleton of the Lithuanian Legion and recruited a legion mainly based on infantry in the local area.
In this way, there were three legions in the entire Eastern European Governor's jurisdiction. When Ji Jiajie, who succeeded Sun Sick, was transferred to Lithuania, he also transferred the Minsk legion that had been trained for a long time, and transferred the new legion recruited in Lithuania to Minsk.
As a former Minsk garrison, Sun Sick had a complete set of ways to train Europeans, not to mention that he also learned Minsk (close to Lithuanian) after staying in Minsk for nearly ten years.
Of course, under the current severe situation, it is also facing attacks that the Russians may come at any time. It is definitely not enough to have a new army stationed in Minsk. The Turichen Legion, which was originally guarding the Poltava area, had secretly reached the Minsk border, and Chakdan, who had arrived in Orenburg, personally led two legions to the Poltava-Luhansk front line, and the other two legions were stationed in Charizin and Samara respectively.
When the empire took the initiative in the Black Sea, it was not appropriate to station heavy troops in Crimea, so the Batu Legion and Sun Xiugang Legion were secretly transferred to Minsk.
In this way, Minsk has seven legions, six old legions, and one new legion, and they are:
Luo Jizhi's Cavalry Legion (also), stationed in Lithuania;
Ji Jiajie Cavalry Legion, stationed in Lithuania;
Batu/Turichen Cavalry Legion, stationed in Minsk;
Sun Sic Infantry Corps, stationed in Minsk;
Hulugong Cavalry Legion stationed in Konisburg;
Sun Xiugang's infantry army regiment stationed in Konisburg.
When Sobesky and Carnetsky left, Luo Jizhi immediately convened an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, you know the situation. According to Your Majesty's judgment, at least one month, that is, before the beginning of winter, the enemy in Europe will launch a large-scale offensive. Wenqin has the most say in this regard, so you can talk about it."
"yes"
Frank Wenqin, the son of the former Hannover pig-speaking man, was sent to the Hannover Iron House Guild for the price of two large fat pigs and was sent to the Hannover Iron House Guild to learn ironwork, and later learned to cast cannons. In recent years, he has been living in dreams and dreams. After spending a few years in Europe, especially in the German and Slavic world, he is no longer the "Hans" who had obvious freckles on his face and a little shy. He has a golden beard and looks calm and cunning.
He stood up. Compared with others, although he learned Chinese, he still had a certain distance to use it. Therefore, he always brought a small notebook with him to keep in mind all matters under his jurisdiction.
"There is no movement in Austria, but there has always been a standing army of about a legion near Vienna, and the remaining army is all distributed in various castles. Austria is not like our country or Prussia. It is already quite amazing that they can form a standing army with more than 10,000 people in Vienna."
"But this is just an illusion. In Bohemia and Hungary, which are controlled by Austria, there have been about four legions of troops. This is also the greatest force they can form in these two places in a short time. If more troops are needed, they must agree through the aristocratic parliament of the two places."
"These forty thousand people are all secretly hidden in the Brno-Ostrava line in southern Bohemia, which is only one step away from Poland and can quickly enter Poland."
"How did you tell there were Austrian troops there?"
"Governor General, it's very simple. Brno went to Ostrava's front line to Ostrava, and martial law was imposed not long ago. Whether in cities or in the countryside, they were not allowed to go out after 8 o'clock in the evening. Then a large amount of supplies and food had been transported there one after another, because Ostrava was located between Bohemia and Hungary, and next to Poland, so our country has set up a secret stronghold there."
"After they received the news of martial law, they also dispatched immediately. They caught a businessman responsible for purchasing grain and asked them to get the news. Haha, although Austria launched a secret, it also needed to rely on a large number of people below to collect grain and grass and purchase supplies. Although they were asked to keep the secret strictly, such a huge activity could not be revealed, so..."
"Okay, keep talking."
"Yes, Governor, in the German region, 20,000 Prussian standing troops were stationed near Hamburg, 20,000 people were stationed near Berlin, and 20,000 people were stationed in the coastal areas. There was no change, but in Latvia, which they were in charge, it has increased from one legion to two legion. In the Polish region they controlled, in Warsaw, there was originally only one legion, but now there is also one legion."
"In addition, in Dresden, there should be several legions gathered by other electors. The specific number is unknown, but in addition to Austria and Prussia, there are several major electoral emperors. According to common sense, at least five legions are, because martial law was imposed in and out of the entire German region not long ago, and Dresden did not allow people to enter and exit during the day. Although our country has set up strongholds in Dresden, people cannot come out, so there is no definite news yet."
"In other parts of Europe, let's talk about Russia first. They originally gathered their main military forces at the border with our country. In Smolensk, they had at least 30,000 standing troops and 20,000 serf soldiers who could be mobilized at any time. The forests were densely covered with forests near Smolensk. If there were a large army hidden inside, it would not be possible to find out in a short time. Now Russia has long prevented people with Tatar faces from appearing in big cities, and people with European faces only allow people who are familiar with them to appear, so the detailed situation cannot be known."
"In Voronesh, Saratov, Kazan, each of which has at least three standing troops and an equal number of serf soldiers can be mobilized. Since it is not a defense zone in my jurisdiction, I won't go into details here. The key is Smolensk. Because the military forces in Voronesh and Kursk want to cross the Dnepr River to invade Minsk or Poltava, friendly forces there will be discovered at the first time. Therefore, they will only have suddenness when they launch in Smolensk."
"In Estonia, the Russians had only one division's power, but in St. Petersburg, their power could be hidden in the forest and then quickly transported to Lithuania or Konisburg by Dutch ships."
"In terms of the Dutch, their army did not make any noise. However, in the three major ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Antwerp, they have always retained the configuration of twenty main warships and thirty armed merchant ships. In the past, such configurations were very rare. The Dutch established a country through business and would not waste too much time on war. At present, these three major ports have always maintained such configurations. The intention is very obvious."
"Except for the Dutch, there is no warship assembly in other parts of Europe, including Britain, but the French army has already assembled in Lille near the harbor and Nancy near Germany. The number is not large, each with a legion, with unknown intentions."
"Nothing happens in Spain"
"What do you think?" When he said this, Luo Jizhi turned his attention to others.
Sun Sick first said: "According to Wenqin just said, the Ministry of Justice believes that Spain and France can be basically excluded, because, not counting serf soldiers, Austria, Prussia, and Russia have already had nearly 200,000 troops. I heard that during the 30 Years of War in Germany, the troops on either side rarely exceeded 100,000. Now their combined troops can reach 200,000, which is probably the largest mobilization, and they have to protect their homeland."
"There is only one possible accident here, that is, Russia. You cannot use common sense to infer the Russians. Based on the Ministry of Justice's understanding of them, there must be no extra military power in the forest near St. Petersburg, but only near Smolensk. They already have 50,000 people. For a mere Minsk, just 20,000 regular troops will be added. In addition, the 20,000 Prussian regular troops in Latvia, there are 70,000 regular troops in Minsk and Lithuania. They are completely in an advantageous position. In addition, the Austrian army that may come from Poland, they also have a strong upper hand in the total number of people."
"As for other places, once the war begins, our country will transfer the troops from Crimea, Qinzha and other places to give them the opportunity to take advantage of the troops in Voronesh, Saratov and other places. Therefore, they must believe that these forces are enough to take over Minsk, Lithuania and Konisburg."
Luo Jizhi nodded and looked at Ji Jiajie.
"Governor General, this is what the vocational department thinks. I don't know how Austria's military strength is, but Prussia is about to have the ability and foundation to unify the German countries. What are the benefits of being involved in the sequence of attacking our country? The vocational department really can't figure it out. According to my understanding, after Prussia suddenly grew stronger, the current situation is like Qin State in the Warring States Period in our country. Austria was Chu State, and other electorate emperors were the first to be the brunt of the Daxia State, how could it turn against him for the Daxia State that he had originally had with him?"
Hulugong inserted: "Is it religious reasons?"
Luo Jizhi smiled and said, "Those are all factors on the surface, and certainly not fundamental factors. Others don't know. William should know that with our country's mobility, a legion can withstand the strikes of the three divisions, and then they can continuously transport military and materials to the main battlefield through the railway and the road. If the battle continues, it will not be of any benefit to him. "
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something.
Sun Sic also seemed to be thinking, "The Governor General means that William wants to defeat the military forces of Austria or other electorals through this seemingly war against our country? At the same time, the troops that defeated Austria and other electorals may not be able to catch them, not to mention that Austria is still the nominal emperor, and the standing troops of other electorals are gathered near Dresden. Could it be..."
Luo Jizhi did not agree, and he finally said: "No matter how William planned, my area had to prepare early. The enemy's main forces were just two, one was Smolensk. At the moment, the Tulichen Legion was being arranged nearby. The Sun Sik legion in Minsk was built and its combat power was worrying. The Konisberg was small. Just have Sun Xiugang and his army stationed there. Hulugong, your legion secretly set off to Minsk in three days!"
"As for the direction of Poland, whether it is Austria or Prussia, if they want to act, they must first cross the Vistula River and enter East Poland. We have time to mobilize our troops to watch it become higher. At the same time, we will report our army's arrangement and plan to His Royal Highness Zhi of Orenburg!"
