The guards of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia, totaling 400,000 people, were the most elite troops of the Russian Empire.

Their duty was to defend important cities such as the capital Petersburg and Mosque in peacetime. In times of war, the Guards were the most powerful weapon of the Imperial Russian Army.

After the order of Grand Duke Nicholas was given, the guards of the Russian Empire immediately took action.

The guards garrisoned around Petersburg began to assemble and then marched towards Mosk, where they prepared to face the army of Grand Duke Mikhail.

Grand Duke Mikhail led the army all the way to Mosk, but was not hindered in any way, and naturally there was no war.

Both Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas were very satisfied with such a situation. None of them wanted the war to inflict too much damage on the Russian Empire. In that case, the strength of the Tsarist Empire will be greatly damaged, which will not be conducive to the development of the Tsarist Empire in the future.

It can be said that both Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas want to ascend to the throne and become tsar. However, they all hoped that the Russian Empire would develop and become strong, not go into decline.

It is precisely for this reason that both of them hope to end the war in the shortest possible time, hoping to cause as little damage as possible to the Russian Empire.

Both sides are very tacit and ready for a decisive battle in Mosk. The victorious side will become the ruler of the Russian Empire.

Although Grand Duke Nicholas was very confident, in order to be foolproof, he was as prepared as possible to be foolproof.

400,000 elite guards, all dispatched.

In addition, 200,000 troops were transferred from the Northern Military District and the Western Military District of the Russian Empire to assemble in Mosk.

In this case, the total army they gathered would be as many as 600,000.

You know, this already accounts for half of the standing strength of the Tsarist Imperial Army.

According to the establishment of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia, the entire Caucasus Military District totaled only 300,000 people.

Even if Grand Duke Mikhail did not leave any troops to watch his family, they all went north. Grand Duke Nicholas also had a double advantage in terms of troops.

Under such circumstances, Grand Duke Nicholas naturally had a winning chance.

But alas, Grand Duke Nicholas did not know that the army of Grand Duke Mikhail had been expanded. Even though Grand Duke Mikhail only dispatched 15 infantry divisions and ten cavalry brigades, the total strength was already more than 360,000.

Even Grand Duke Nicholas’s army still has an absolute superiority in strength. But is there a comparison between elite troops armed to the teeth and ruined garbage troops?

Even if it is inferior in terms of strength, Grand Duke Mikhail’s army also has a great chance of victory.

On May 9, 1796, troops led by Grand Duke Mikhail arrived in Kazan.

Because there was no reason to be hindered along the way, the troops marched much faster. For Grand Duke Mikhail’s troops, this may not be considered a war at all, but only a march.

Grand Duke Mikhail did not stop at Kazan, but ordered the troops to disembark and quickly advance along the road towards Mosk.

He had also received news that Grand Duke Nicholas had led an army to Moske.

“Your Excellency, according to the information obtained so far, His Excellency Grand Duke Nicholas has sent a very large number of troops. Four hundred thousand guards, all dispatched. In addition, there are up to 200,000 army units. These troops are all gathering towards Mosk. It is clear that His Excellency Grand Duke Nicholas has guessed our goal and is ready to fight a decisive battle with us here. Lieutenant General Brushilov’s tone revealed a hint of excitement.

Although, for them, it will be a fateful battle. However, everyone has great confidence in this battle.

“Grand Duke Nicholas can be regarded as a horse all his life. If he couldn’t even guess that, it would be a joke. Since he is ready to fight us in Mosk, let it be as he wishes! I hope that after this battle, this war will be able to end here! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

He really didn’t want this civil war to last too long.

Even he hadn’t expected to come this far.

Originally, he thought that after the bombing of Nicholas II, he would be able to take the throne smoothly. But it is clear that he still underestimated the ambitions of Grand Duke Nicholas and others.

Since this is the case, he can only quickly cut through the trouble, quickly end all these disputes through war means, and ascend to the throne.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Lieutenant General Brushilov replied.

“Although, we are at a disadvantage in terms of strength. However, I believe that our army, whether it is weapons and equipment, or the soldiers’ fighting quality or will to fight, is far stronger than other units of the Imperial Army. The final victory must belong to us! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

Lieutenant General Brushilov also nodded in agreement.
