The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 291 The Allied Powers Declare War

Due to the distance and the poor bureaucracy of Tsarist Russia, after capturing the Afghan region, the Russian army only maintained less than a million troops in northern India.

Even so, the Indian colonial army, which is 2 to 3 times the number of the Russian army, can't breathe...

If it weren't for the fact that the Indian colonial army has begun to install Hanyang-made hand grenades and has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, it is estimated that northern India would have been annexed by the Russian army long ago.

Coupled with the occupation security forces of Tsarist Russia in Central Asia and Afghanistan, Tsarist Russia only used millions of troops at this time.

Obviously, this is far from the mobilization limit of Tsarist Russia, but it is approaching the financial limit of Tsarist Russia...

According to the assessment of the Allied Powers, Tsarist Russia can use at least 300 million troops.

Compared with the wrong assessment of the Ottoman Empire, this data is quite accurate, and takes into account the poor financial situation of Tsarist Russia and the added value of bureaucratic corruption...

If Tsarist Russia's finances are sufficient to support it, it will not be a problem to pull up more than 600 million troops!

The problem is that the tsarist government cannot afford to support...

The source of troops has never been a problem for Tsarist Russia, which has a vast territory and a large population. More than [-]% of the civilian class in Tsarist Russia are serfs.

Moreover, in Tsarist Russia, the enthusiasm of serfs to join the army was still very high, because joining the army and fighting was one of the few ways for them to get rid of their status as serfs.

As long as you make enough meritorious service on the battlefield, you can get rid of your serf status!

However, among the 1 serfs, it is estimated that only ten serfs can make enough meritorious deeds...

Of course, this does not prevent the propaganda department of Tsarist Russia from launching a public opinion offensive. Anyway, what people see is what the government lets them see. Heroes and martyrs are shaped by public opinion propaganda.

The rise of a country has never depended on a limited number of heroes and martyrs, but on thousands of ordinary people!

Not just ordinary soldiers, but also ordinary workers and farmers who work hard behind!

If you are really grateful, everyone who worked during the war should thank you for your contribution to the country.

It's a pity that the state's propaganda doesn't care about the contributions of ordinary workers and peasants. What the country needs is cannon fodder to go to the front line and work hard. Naturally, it must vigorously promote the advantages of joining the army.

Tsarist Russia did a good job in this regard. They cheated the largest number of gray cattle in Europe with the worst benefits for joining the army in the whole of Europe...

The amazing thing is that these gray animals, who ate cheap potatoes and black bread and hardly saw the meat, were still very brave on the battlefield!
The defeat of the Russian army was never because of the gray animals' greed for life and fear of death, but the corruption and stupid command of the upper-level officers.

It can be said that the top and bottom of the Russian army are two extremes. High-level Russian generals and officers are greedy for life and fear of death, greedy for pleasure, and deducting military pay and supplies have become the norm.

But the gray animals in the lower class are willing to fight selflessly on the battlefield for an illusory opportunity.

Of course, gray animals can also be rewarded in many cases, such as burning, killing and looting.

This is an important means for the Russian army to maintain combat morale and supplies.

Otherwise, with the logistics efficiency of the Russian army, the gray animals on the front line would have starved to death long ago...

In the eyes of the Victorian government, Czarist Russia, which has 300 million mobilized to the extreme, has already had 100 million trapped in the Indian battlefield, and there are at most 200 million gray animals.

Then, the Victorian government made another wrong judgment. They felt that the fighting power of the gray cattle of Tsarist Russia was at most 1.5 soldiers of the Ottoman Empire.

In other words, the strength of Tsarist Russia with only 200 million troops is not as strong as the Ottoman Empire with a limit mobilization of 500 million troops...

In addition, the Ottoman Empire took the initiative to show favor to the Allied Powers, and even promised to stab Tsarist Russia in the back when necessary, which also became a necessary factor for the Allied Powers to declare war on Tsarist Russia.

As for the Allied Powers' plan to turn around and land on the British mainland, it was rejected by the Victorian government.

There is only one main reason. The Victorian government has no confidence in defeating Yuri's powerful summoning army.

It is not difficult to eliminate Zhang Zuolin, who has lost his city and land after being beaten by the Sauron Empire, but what if Yuri comes with four more summoning legions like the Beiyang warlords?
Even now, the Victorian government is not sure if Yuri actually came to England to unleash the Summoning Legion!
The Victorian government does not rule out Yuri's ability to send summoned legions across the ocean to the world.

At that time, the Allied Powers regained their lost territory in the British mainland, but the European continent suddenly descended on the extremely powerful Yuri Summoning Legion, and the Allied Powers system would collapse in minutes!

Members of the Allied Powers will not abandon their homeland for the sake of the capital, England.

It is impossible for the British army directly under the Victorian government to confront the Sauron Empire, which has an absolute advantage in the British mainland.

Therefore, the Victorian government wants to take advantage of the gap between the Sauron Empire's encroachment on the British mainland to completely wipe out the entire continent, and then use the continent's industrial foundation to go all out against Yuri's Sauron Empire.

At that time, the Allied Powers will only have the Sauron Empire as an enemy, and no matter what they do, they won't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

After all, in the current situation, in addition to the Victorian government, there is also a Tsarist Russia in Europe who can be the boss.

The Ottoman Empire seems to be powerful, but their religious beliefs are seriously mismatched with European society, and they will never want to become the leading brother of European countries.

This is also one of the reasons why the Victorian government targeted Tsarist Russia.

At the end of the 17th year of the Era of Sauron, all members of the Allied Powers, who had smoothed out internal relations and distribution of troops, declared war on Tsarist Russia under the leadership of the Victorian government.

On the day of the declaration of war, the millions of allied forces of the Allied Powers, which had long been on the border, invaded the Polish region under the control of Tsarist Russia, the Ukrainian region, and the Crimean Peninsula in 6 groups.

The British Royal Navy even blocked the Tsarist Russia's Black Sea Fleet at the door of the house, and did not have access at all.

At the same time, the combined fleet of the Allied Powers launched an attack on the Swedish and Norwegian fleets in the North Sea, trying to force Sweden and Norway to join the Allied Powers system.

In addition to the millions of allied forces of the Allied Powers, there will be more than 50 regular troops who are being equipped with breech-loading guns made in Hanyang as a reserve team.

For such a big move, Tsarist Russia would naturally not fail to prepare in advance. As early as when the Allied Powers were on the border, Tsarist Russia once again carried out military expansion and mobilization, and deployed Russian troops on the border that were comparable in number to the Allied Powers.

At the same time, there are nearly one million troops in training and stationed in the country.
