Chapter 1094： Diligent and thrifty (2/2)

In the face of the overall strategy, everyone can give up, let alone a bunch of worthless French laborers?

The Czarist government is anxious, and the Japanese government is even more anxious. Unlike the Tsarist government, which is not afraid of boiling water, the Japanese government is the representative of diligence and thrift.

There is no way, the money of the sponsor's father is also to be repaid, and it is still usury. It is better to borrow less or less.

Looking at the equipment of the Japanese army, you can see that compared with the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, there was no essential change. Many troops still used the spoils captured that year. It can be said that the ”diligence and frugality” were carried forward to the extreme.

Fortunately, the equipment of the Russian army on the opposite side is not that good, it's just better than them. Although the firepower is stronger, but limited by the lack of logistics, the ammunition can only be used a little.

In the Far East, there is also a saying within the Russian Empire called the ”exile zone”. Not only exiled criminals, but also exiled unlucky people who failed in political struggles.

If officials are the losers of the political struggle, then the army here is the marginalized among the Russian army.

Neither weapons nor daily training can be compared with the main force, and the combat effectiveness is naturally the bottom of the Russian army.

In the face of such an enemy, the Japanese army, which has superior strength, has not been able to show the momentum of sweeping the fallen leaves in autumn, so the Japanese government is naturally impatient.

Even the Emperor Meiji, who was well-contained, couldn't help but swear, and after several imperial meetings, he caught the high-level army violently.

It's not enough if you don't get angry, the army's record really can't be shot. After besieging the Brigade Fortress for several months, in addition to leaving corpses all over the ground, they still wandered around the periphery.

According to the military, it was because the Russians used the most advanced trenches + machine guns + steel barbed wire defense line, which was very difficult to break through.

I found the problem, but does it make sense?

The answer is: no.

The influence of the butterfly effect is powerful. As a weather vane in the army, the armies of all countries can't help but follow the Shinra army.

Naturally, the Russians who were most affected by Shinra are no exception. With the efforts of generations of overseas students, the tactics of the Shinra Army naturally spread to the Russian army.

Let the ***shun fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, become more terrifying. As a result, the traditional assault tactics of the Japanese army became the tactics of giving away heads.

If nothing happens, General Nogi Nozori is afraid that he will be insulated from the **** of war. Although the commander of the 3rd Army of the Japanese Army has just arrived on the front line to take over from the unlucky person who committed suicide by amputating his stomach.

There is no other reason, mainly because the brave ”meat bomb tactics” he admired, facing the well-defense fortress, the threat has been lost.

In Japan, a country that respects the strong, losers are not eligible to be worshipped. If he can't complete the combat mission, Nogi Nogi's fate will be similar to that of his predecessor.

Not only was the fighting in the ***shun fortress not going well, but the fighting in Dongman and Nanman also did not develop as expected.

Although the Japanese gained the upper hand and forced the Russians to keep retreating, the Japanese also paid a heavy price.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to define whether it is a loss or a gain.

Unlike the original time and space, the Russians have been in constant wars in recent decades. Even the Russian military's combat effectiveness in the Far East has improved. The most typical thing is the overall quality of officers, which is obviously higher than that.

The equipment is better, the quality of the officers is improved, the combat experience is richer, and the combat effectiveness naturally increases.

Stronger is stronger, that is just fantasy. Although the Japanese Army is also following the study, it is still not as thorough as the Russians followed suit.

Although the morale of the Japanese army is higher, the morale of the Russian army is not low! It is not that Russian officers and soldiers like to fight, but more because of face.

Losing to the Japanese, how can the arrogant Russian accept it?

Even if there are more Japanese troops, the innate psychological advantage makes the Russian officers and soldiers feel that they can do it, and they don't persuade them at all.

The original space-time Japan's victory was largely the contribution of the navy. The victory of the naval battle strengthened the determination of the Japanese officers and soldiers to win, and at the same time shook the hearts of the Russians.

It has only just begun. Despite the losses on many battlefields, the Russian army has not yet reached the point where the military's heart is shaken.

There is no other way to lose money. Who will let the Japanese government ”do diligence and frugality”?

In the case of insufficient military expenditure, it is also normal for the army to fail to keep up with the times.

Especially due to the influence of traditional ”Bushido” thinking, many Japanese generals believed that ”brave” can make up for the lack of equipment and despised the army that only played with firepower.

In this context, with limited military expenditures, the first thing everyone thinks about is to protect the size of the army, not to upgrade weapons and equipment.

Now that I have suffered a loss and realized the importance of firepower, the Army is too embarrassed to say it!

Regarding all of this, as a prime minister from the army, Katsura was in his eyes and anxious in his heart.

The high-level army is embarrassed to speak, and it is not just for face. The fear of admitting mistakes will be ridiculed by the Navy, but for one reason, more is the fear of affecting the future voice in the empire.

There is no way, this is also one of the characteristics of Japan, it is not allowed to make mistakes.

Since the guards handed over a battle report, Emperor Meiji's face became gloomy. Knowing that there was bad news coming, Kataro quickly remedied:

”Your Majesty, calm down. The enemy we are facing this time is the Russians, and the slow progress of the frontline troops is understandable.

In order to speed up the progress of the troops, I propose to purchase a batch of equipment from the British to increase the strength of the troops.

For example: tanks and armored vehicles are good, they can play a great role in conquering positions.

Although it is a bit more expensive, we only need a small amount of purchase, which should not cost much. ”

Russia and Austria are an alliance, and the Russo-Japanese War has already broken out. Naturally, the Vienna government will not sell its arms to the Japanese government.

In this context, although the British Army equipment has no market competitiveness in terms of performance or price, the Japanese government still has no choice.

Except for these two countries, the weapons and equipment of other countries are only more trash, not the most trash.

Up to now, only the armored forces of Shinra have a division-level organization in the world, and the armored forces of other countries are at most regiment level.

On the one hand, it is expensive, the equipment is expensive, and the later use and maintenance costs are more expensive; on the other hand, because the technology is not up to standard, the core components cannot be produced in-house.

Needless to say, for a poor country like Japan, it is impossible to equip it on a large scale except for a few to support the facade.

Otherwise, after the war broke out, even an armored force that broke through the enemy's defenses would not be able to get together.

Emperor Meiji nodded: ”Then buy it. The speed must be fast. It is best to buy the British's active-duty equipment directly.”

Emperor Meiji didn’t know whether armored forces could break through the enemy’s line of defense, but it was true based on experience from Europe.

At least, the anti-French alliance was the armored force that opened the way, tore through the French line of defense, and then drove straight in.
