Chapter 1098： Logistics (2/2)

Facts have proved that strong bite melon is really not sweet. Despite the support of veterans left by Alexander III, after Nicholas II succeeded to the throne, the efficiency of the tsarist government has declined by more than a factor.

This situation became more obvious after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War. In many cases, the tsarist government plans one thing, but when it is implemented, it becomes another.

Because his political skills were not strong enough, Nicholas II was badly compromised just after he succeeded to the throne. Later, he tried hard to clean up, but the declining prestige of the monarch could not be made up.

In order to change this situation, Nicholas II desperately needed a victory to improve his status in the minds of the people and at the same time strengthen his control of the government.

Thinking about it, reality always likes to slap her face. The Japanese army, which was in the impression of being vulnerable, showed amazing resilience on the battlefield in the Far East, and did not stop its progress due to too many casualties.

That's all, the Japanese were willing to take human lives, and Nicholas II did not dare.

In any case, there are still more gray animals in the Russian Empire than the Japanese.

If it is really desperate, with a population advantage three times that of Japan, the Russian Empire has a very good chance of winning.

It is a pity that war has never been a matter of just seeing more people and fewer people. As the war progressed, the situation gradually developed to the unfavorable side.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Nicholas II said indifferently: ”Kuropat Kinzhong calls, and the strategic materials of the Far East are in urgent need.

Calculated according to the current battlefield consumption rate and material replenishment rate, the materials we hoard in the Far East will be exhausted in at most six months.

At what point is the Siberian Railway, can it be opened to traffic before the supplies are exhausted? ”

Modern warfare is all about logistics. The more advanced the equipment and the stronger the firepower, the higher the dependence on logistics.

Compared with the original time and space, the Russian army's equipment is obviously much more advanced, and the corresponding logistics requirements are much higher.

Hesitated and did not expect in advance that the Japanese dared to fight without a declaration, and the Tsarist government had a serious shortage of strategic materials stockpiled in the Far East.

This is still in the case of full defense, if you take the initiative to attack, the material consumption will be even greater.

In the case of domestic efforts to replenish, it can only last for half a year. Obviously, the amount of inventory has reached the dangerous line.

Now that the war has progressed, the slogan of Prancing Horse Tokyo for three months, naturally no one continues to shout.

Facts have proved that the Japanese are not soft-footed shrimps, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible to end the war within half a year.

Prime Minister Sergey Witt: ”We have tried our best to fight for the construction schedule, but there are still many difficulties if we want to open to traffic within half a year.

The main problem is the climate. The climate in Siberia is really bad.

Now this season, it is still possible to barely carry out continuous construction day and night, and once it arrives in winter, many places do not even have the most basic construction conditions. ”

It is not prevarication, the winter in Siberia is really not suitable for railway construction.

Even if the lives of French workers are not taken seriously, the most basic quality of railways must still be considered.

It is not extravagant to be able to use for decades like ordinary railways, but at least it must be able to support the end of this war, right?

Such low requirements are also not easy to meet. Not only the craftsmanship must be accurate, but the material requirements are also high.

Among other things, rails and sleepers must be frost-resistant. Otherwise, the ultra-low temperature of minus 50 or 60 degrees would not be able to handle ordinary tracks.
