"Your Majesty Tianhuang, I am really sorry that we have seriously underestimated the strength of the Russians, so that this war, the empire is currently in trouble. However, please rest assured that His Majesty Tianhuang is doing their best to find ways to break the current deadlock. We will do everything in our power to defeat the Russians and win this war! General Katsura Taro assured Ming Zhi Tianhuang.

"Phew!" Ming Zhi Tianhuang let out a heavy breath before speaking.

"What do you guarantee it? Can you really be sure that the Empire will be able to defeat the Russians? Ming Zhi Tianhuang asked viciously.

"Your Majesty, we will surely be able to defeat the Russians. If we fail to do this, the minister is willing to commit suicide and think that he is responsible for this! General Katsura said through gritted teeth.

"The minister is also willing to "410" to be responsible for failure! Lieutenant General Masahiri Terauchi, Minister of War, also said.

But Vice Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei, Minister of the Navy, was expressionless.

The Navy is not as rational as the Red Deer of the Army, they are relatively rational, but they will not talk about seppuku at every turn, like the Army.

Ming Zhi Tianhuang nodded, since everyone was so confident, he naturally chose to believe them. These are their heavy ministers!

"Gentlemen, the empire defeated the Chinese people ten years ago and won a lot of benefits for the rise of the empire. But this battle was also crucial for the empire. The Empire can't afford to lose! Once the Empire loses this war, the Empire will suffer unprecedented damage. Even the rise of the empire will be cut off from now on. The empire will completely fall under the control of the sunset people, becoming their puppets and even lackeys. Only by defeating the Russians can the empire become a world-class power and truly control its own destiny! Ming Zhi Tianhuang said bitterly.

The ministers nodded one after another, they were all smart people, and naturally they knew this very well.

"Then, gentlemen, I will leave it to you." Ming Zhitianhuang bowed heavily to several people.

This made several ministers even more enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty Tianhuang rest assured, the ministers and others will definitely fight to the death to win the victory for the empire!" The ministers all said.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, General Katsura Taro returned to the Prime Minister's Office with his ministers. In addition, the top officials of the army and navy were immediately convened to discuss the current situation.

"Gentlemen, the current war situation is very unfavorable for us, and we must find a way to break the current impasse. Otherwise, we will not only be unable to explain to His Majesty Tianhuang, but also to the people of the empire who have been working hard to support us. As His Majesty Tianhuang said, we can't afford to lose anymore. We must win this battle. No matter how much it costs. Senior General Katsura said in a deep voice.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" A group of people and others replied.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy is ready to face the Russian Navy. According to the information we received, the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet fled to the port of the colony of Tenzhu China, controlled by the Gauls. However, there is no way for us to take what they do. After all, the naval strength of the Gauls is strong. The Russians were also allies of the Gauls, and the Gauls would naturally provide refuge to the Russians. If we attack rashly, if we offend the Gauls and drag them into the war, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us. Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei said.

General Katsura frowned tightly.

In his eyes, Gaul is also an old power, and its strength is not even weaker than that of the Russian Empire. In other words, in terms of navy, the Gallic Navy in this era is second only to the Royal Navy of the Empire.

The Eastern Imperial Navy was already very difficult to deal with the Russian Imperial Navy alone. If you provoke the Gauls again, let the Gauls send navies into the war. Then, if they want to win, it is even more difficult.

"Don't provoke the Gauls for now. The Empire is now definitely not a rival to two world-class powers. The Gauls sheltered the warships of the Russians, or it was solved through diplomatic channels. In addition, find people who do not set the sun and let them negotiate with people who do not set in the sun. Senior General Katsura said. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Although protests through diplomatic channels and the like are often manifestations of incompetence.

But now the Eastern Empire is facing such a situation, there is no other way at all!

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Vice Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto replied ... 0

"In addition, the main naval forces of the Russians have already set off from Europe. The sun did not set and blocked the Suez Canal, preventing Russian warships from passing. This allowed the Russian warships to travel thousands of miles around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. This was good news for the Imperial Navy. If the Russian warships had fought a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy after a long voyage. Well, the Imperial Navy still has a great chance of victory. Therefore, we cannot give the Russian navy a chance to rest, and we cannot let them reach the Lushun military port. If they had completed their rest at Lushun Military Port and the battleship had completed maintenance. Well, the Imperial Navy will be at a complete disadvantage. If you want to win this battle, the possibility will be very small. Lieutenant General Yamamoto Gonbei reminded.

General Katsura Taro's expression suddenly became serious.

The importance of the Navy in this battle is self-evident.

If the Navy wins, even if the Army does not win. Then they can also ensure that they will not lose in the war. Even, with naval superiority and the support of the empire that never sets, he was able to obtain certain benefits from the Russians, thereby ending the war with dignity.

But if the Navy fails. Then, everything is over.

The army sent to the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula had only one dead end. Is it possible to survive when the logistics supply lines are cut off by the Russian navy, and at the same time are besieged by the Russians 2.5?

Even the mainland of the Eastern Empire would be targeted by the Russians.

That was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Eastern Empire.

"The army must take the Lushun military port before the main fleet of the Russians reaches the Far East. The Russian fleet could not be allowed the opportunity to enter the military port to rest and maintain. No matter how much it costs, the Army must do this! General Katsura Taro looked resolute.

Although he knew very well that the Lushun Fortress was the key place for the Russian army, it was even known as the first fortress in the Far East.

If you attack strongly, even if it is successful, it will inevitably pay a huge price.

However, the Eastern Empire had no other choice.
