Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

“Your Excellency, we have already taken Mosk. Moreover, the main army of Grand Duke Nicholas has already been annihilated. Although, the Imperial Army still has hundreds of thousands of people. However, these armies were deployed throughout the empire. In a short period of time, it will be impossible to assemble at all, let alone pose a threat to us.

Even remobilization will take a lot of time. Now, we should take advantage of the victory and take Petersburg in one fell swoop. When the time comes, whether to capture Grand Duke Nicholas or to drive him out of the empire. Everything will be unchanging. ”

Lieutenant General Brushilov suggested.

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded, now it is indeed time to hurry up.

“General Gurko, you lead the cavalry troops and rush to Petersburg. Rush to Petersburg in the shortest possible time and take there. And, control the entire cabinet! I believe that those guys in the cabinet should know what choice to make at this time! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

Previously, the top echelons of the cabinet of the Russian Empire, although they were on the side of Grand Duke Nicholas. But among them, there were also the people of Grand Duke Mikhail. More are neutrals who do not express their position.

Now that the war has been won or lost, it is naturally time for them to make a choice.

Grand Duke Mikhail had already won the war and was also the first in line to the throne. Although, there is a suspicion of murdering Tsar Nicholas II. However, no one has clear evidence that it is his. Then there will already be no one who will be able to prevent him from becoming the new tsar.

Those high-ranking members of the cabinet, at this time, naturally will not deliberately obstruct anymore. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating.

Moreover, they also did not want the Russian Empire to fall into chaos. In that case, it will be the entire empire that will be hurt in the end.

“Yes, Your Excellency, I promise to complete the task!” Lieutenant General Gulco answered immediately.

Immediately, Lieutenant General Gulcaud led ten cavalry brigades to Petersburg.

“Your Excellency, do we need to continue mobilizing? We now have hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war on our hands. Among them, there are also the main forces of the Guards. Even some may not want to continue to be in the army. But we also have enough troops. It seems that the mobilization order we issued earlier can be terminated. Lieutenant General Brushilov suggested.

Grand Duke Mikhail thought about it and took this suggestion.

The Russian Empire had the largest standing force among countries.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the territory of the Tsarist Empire was the largest in the world. At the same time, the population is also the largest in the Western world.

However, in terms of the current economic strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire, the pressure to retain such a large standing army is very great. Especially in terms of finance, the current Russian Empire can be said to be heavily indebted.

Moreover, because the military budget was not much, the soldiers were treated so badly that the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was not only poorly trained, but also poorly equipped. Among the great powers, it is even worse.

Before deciding to march to Petersburg, Grand Duke Mikhail, for the sake of safety, ordered the mobilization of twenty more infantry divisions. But now, they have won, and the next thing will be the reorganization of the guards and armies of the Russian Empire, and naturally there is no need to mobilize so many more troops. After all, this is not a time of war, and there is no need to raise too many armies at any cost.

“Stop mobilization. However, we will draw elite personnel from among Mosk’s prisoners of war and join the army. On this basis, twenty more infantry divisions were formed. After that, the troops of the various military districts of the empire were reorganized and twenty infantry divisions were formed. So that the standing strength of the Imperial Army is maintained at about sixty infantry divisions! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

With the establishment of the troops under Grand Duke Mikhail, sixty infantry divisions are already almost 1.1 million people.

Together with the reserved cavalry units, artillery units, mountain infantry brigades, etc., the total strength has been able to reach one and a half hundred thousand people.

It can be said that in terms of overall size, it is already larger than the size of the Tsarist Imperial Army at this time.

Of course, it is absolutely not enough to slightly increase the size of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia.

Next, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia must strengthen training and equip it with advanced weapons and equipment, so that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Grand Duke Mikhail did not want the Russian Empire’s army to continue to be called a garbage force.

After all, in a few years, the Russian Empire would have to fight the Eastern Empire in the far east.

The Far East was too far away from the Russian Empire, which was destined to send too many troops to the war. If the combat effectiveness of the army is too bad, how to defeat the Toyos?

Although there are still a few years to go. However, Grand Duke Mikhail must also prepare for this.

He hoped that in that battle, he could defeat the Oriental people in one fell swoop, thus directly cutting off the path of the Oriental Empire to become a great power!
