London 伦敦 Arouses the courage with great difficulty, is determined to do a British government of weaponry with the Russia person, was done by the requesting reinforcements telegram of Lieutenant General Patrick directly ignorant. 好不容易鼓足勇气,下定决心和俄国人干一仗的英国政府,直接被帕特里克中将的求援电报搞懵了。 Puts down the telegram in hand, asking that Prime Minister Gladstone has doubts: „Doesn't frontline have Unit 400000? Why also wants the reinforcements?” 放下手中的电报,格莱斯顿首相疑惑的问:“前线不是已经有400000部队了么？为什么还要援兵？” It is not Prime Minister Gladstone makes much ado about nothing, is really Britain in history, has not played the scale such big strategy game. 不是格莱斯顿首相大惊小怪,实在是不列颠有史以来,就没有玩儿过规模这么大的战略游戏。 The war has not broken out, the frontline gathered 400,000 armies, if reinforces 20 infantry divisions again, the total military strength must approach 700,000. 战争还没有爆发,前线就聚集了四十万军队,要是再增援二十个步兵师,总兵力就要逼近七十万大关了。 A local war plays in a big way, completely ultra oversteps the limit the cognitive category of Prime Minister Leston. 一场局部战争就玩儿这么大,完全超出了格莱斯顿首相的认知范畴。 Secretary of war Ruosaari Austria: „ Prime minister, the war department carefully studied the requesting reinforcements telegram of Lieutenant General Patrick, basically can determine that his request is reasonable. 陆军大臣罗萨里奥:“首相阁下,陆军部仔细研究了帕特里克中将的求援电报,基本上可以确定他的要求是合理的。 The Russia person is threatening, according to the information showed that they had invested 500,000 armies in Central Asia, behind does not rule out the possibility that continues to increase troops. 俄国人来势汹汹,根据情报显示他们在中亚地区已经投入了五十万军队,不排除后面继续增兵的可能。 Because of the relations of distance, the increasing troops speed of enemy will be faster than us, must safeguard the sufficient troops of frontline. 因为距离的关系,敌人的增兵速度会比我们快很多,必须要保障前线的兵力充足。 Otherwise encounters the situation, can only count on that the Indian governor area supports. With all due respect, the Indian governor area has not dealt with the situation the ability. 要不然遇到突发情况,只能指望印度总督区支援。恕我直言,印度总督区没有应对突发情况的能力。 Once makes war with the Russia person, the Indian area will also become not steady, will maintain the stability of Indian area is Indian governor the most important work. 一旦同俄国人开战,印度地区也会变得不稳,维持印度地区的稳定才是印度总督最重要的工作。 If there is not prepared ahead of time, after the war breaks out, suddenly since the Indian area pulls out to too many military enters the frontline is the irresponsible performance. 要是提前没有准备,等战争爆发后,突然从印度地区抽到太多的兵力进入前线是不负责的表现。 Next, the Afghan area was not peaceful, the native and Russia person colluded to revolt against our rules. 其次,阿富汗地区一直都不太平,当地人和俄国人勾结了起来反抗我们的统治。 Because Afghan area mountainous, the supreme headquarters of resistance organization in remote mountains and ancient forests, we conducted in the army of Afghan area encircled repeatedly, has not caught the whole lot in a dragnet them. 由于阿富汗地区多山,反抗组织的大本营都在深山老林中,我们在阿富汗地区的部队进行了多次围剿,都没有把他们一网打尽。 Once with the war eruption of Russia person, these people will jump to do the destruction, we must leave behind the sufficient military to deal with the situation, does not let them and Russia people collaborates from outside with the inside. 一旦和俄国人的战争爆发,这些人又会跳出来搞破坏,我们必须要留下足够的兵力应对突发情况,不让他们和俄国人里应外合。 ...... ” ……” A reason big pile, summarizes one, that is a bit faster the expansion of armaments, the frontline soon could not wait. 理由一大堆,总结起来就一条,那就是快点儿扩军吧,前线快要等不及了。 Although the stepmother has raised, but the army also has the pursue. This expansion of armaments chance of a lifetime, said that what everyone will not give up. 尽管一直都后娘养,但陆军也是有追求的。这种千载难逢的扩军机会,说什么大家也不会放弃。 Ruosaari Austria that the civil officials come was naturally clear that in this curved circles, but has decided the standpoint as the secretary of war his buttocks. 文官出身的罗萨里奥自然清楚这里面的弯弯绕绕,但是作为陆军大臣他的屁股已经决定了立场。 If removed the stage of military at this time, then the following work does not need to be done, the following person has is the means pit dies he. 要是这个时候拆了军方的台,那么后面的工作也不需要做了,下面的人有得是办法坑死他。 The First Lord of the Treasury understands to govern Gordon sneers saying: „ Your excellency, you should know the situation in Afghanistan. The frontline must maintain Unit 700000 to battle, how many people do your war departments prepare with safeguard the logistics? 财政大臣晓治・柴尔德斯冷笑道:“阁下,你应该知道阿富汗的情况。前线要维持700000部队作战,你们陆军部准备用多少人来保障后勤？ 1 million people are 2 million people, or is 3 million people, even is 4 million people? ” 一百万人还是两百万人,又或者是三百万人,甚至是四百万人？” This is the most realistic issue, Afghanistan is the land locked country, the grain cloth and so on commodity could make the Indian governor area leave, but the arms and ammunition must transport from the native place. 这是最现实的问题,阿富汗是内陆国家,粮食布匹之类的物资或许可以让印度总督区出,可是武器弹药就必须要从本土运送。 If adds completely the personnel of production and transportation, without the army services of several million artificial fronts, basic on support tiring the troops on a long expedition of this scale. 如果把生产、运输的人员全部加起来,没有几百万人为前线的部队服务,根本就支撑不起这种规模的劳师远征。 Secretary of war Ruosaari Austria shakes the head: „ These issues truly exist, but don't we have the choice not? 陆军大臣罗萨里奥摇了摇头:“这些问题确实存在,但我们没得选择不是么？ The Russia person will not manage us whether has the difficulty, so long as prepared, the Russian force will hit. 俄国人可不会管我们是否存在困难,只要准备好了,俄军就会打过来。 For the security of India, we must accept a challenge on own initiative. Now does not fight Afghanistan Battle, in the future must conduct a Ganges Battle. 为了印度的安全,我们必须要主动应战。现在不打阿富汗保卫战,未来就要进行一场恒河保卫战。 As for difficulty that the present faces, does not overcome without the means that we most do not lack is the labor force. 至于现在面对的困难,并非没有办法克服,我们最不缺的就是劳动力。 Recruits the labor from the Indian area directly and that's the end, the manpower cost maximum part nothing but is the domestic production and transportation process, clenched teeth to insist also on the past. 直接从印度地区征召劳工就是了,人力成本最高的一部分无非是国内的生产、运输过程,咬咬牙坚持一下也就过去了。 By the fiscal situation in Russian Empire, they not possible prolonged competes for the Afghan area with us. 以俄罗斯帝国的财政情况,他们不可能旷日持久的和我们争夺阿富汗地区。 So long as defeats the Russia person 1-2 times, making them realize that power gap of both sides, the following issue was easy to do. ” 只要击败俄国人1-2,让他们意识到双方的实力差距,后面的问题就好办了。” Puts up the cash, this also has to for it. 砸钱,这也是不得不为之。 The Russian Empire strength is not weak, the biggest problem in the finance, filthy rich Britain does not have the truth to let off this obvious loophole, does not put together the financial resource with them, runs to play the decisive battle. 俄罗斯帝国实力不弱,最大的问题就在财政上,财大气粗的不列颠没有道理放过这个明显的漏洞,不和他们拼财力,跑去玩儿大决战。 Show-hand plays the decisive battle all of a sudden, is seemingly awe-inspiring, takes the head to dance in the waist actually, once were defeated building the national destiny. 梭哈的一下子玩儿大决战,看似威风八面,实则是提着脑袋在腰间跳舞,一旦失败就把国运给搭进去了。 Without the empire on which the sun never sets of India, but can also be the empire on which the sun never sets? Perhaps could not want 35 years of time, can only abdicate to give up one's post to a more qualified person. 没有印度的日不落帝国,还算得上是日不落帝国么？恐怕要不了三五年时光,就只能退位让贤了。 This is also everyone most puzzled place, dispatches troops to reinforce too expensive, big enterprise has lots of assets Britain will also feel the anxiety ; Does not dispatch troops to reinforce, is worried about the frontline to lose control, the Russia person will threaten the security of India. 这也是大家最纠结的地方,出兵增援太费钱,家大业大的不列颠也会感到肉疼;不出兵增援,又担心前线失控,俄国人会威胁到印度的安全。 After hesitant moment time, Prime Minister Gladstone said slowly: „We vote by ballots collectively, reported the parliament the final resolution result, let the Senate and Congress examines and approves.” 犹豫了片刻功夫后,格莱斯顿首相缓缓说道:“我们集体投票表决吧,把最终决议结果上报议会,让参议院和众议院审批。” In the situation is not willing to shoulder the responsibility in unclearly and alone the situation, the collective resolution without doubt is the best choice. 在情况不明、又不愿意独自承担责任的情况下,集体决议无疑是最佳的选择。 Even if the resolution has certain problem, that is still the democratic result, can minimize everyone's responsibility. 就算是决议存在一定问题,那也是民主的结果,可以将大家的责任降到最低。 As for the price, naturally was the efficiency drops was so little. The cabinet can make the resolution immediately, but to the parliamentary discussion, needs to spend how much time no one to know. 至于代价,自然是效率下降了那么一点点。内阁可以马上做出决议,但是到了议会讨论中,需要花费多少时间就没人知道了。 However is a little certain, so long as the British and Russian war broke out, the efficiency of British Parliament will also enhance passively. 不过有一点可以肯定,只要英俄战争爆发了,英国议会的效率也会被动提高的。 ...... …… St. Petersburg, recently reports of victory keep coming of frontline, mood of Alexander III also good. 圣彼得堡,最近一段时间前线的捷报频传,亚历山大三世的心情也好了起来。 Tsar of fight nationality is not good to work as, must the attention frontline war change frequently. 战斗民族的沙皇也不好当,必须要时刻关注前线的战局变化。 If by some chance the frontline had the defeat, Tsar must conduct the damage control immediately, so as to avoid made the matter noisily big, affected own prestige. 万一前线吃了败仗,沙皇就必须要在第一时间进行善后,免得让事情闹大了,影响自己的声望。 Alexander III asked: „Went south the channel of Afghanistan to make a connection, now looks at the rear services headquarters, how long did you also want to be able the commodity to transport the frontline?” 亚历山大三世问道:“南下阿富汗的通道已经打通了,现在就看后勤部的了,你们还要多长时间能够把物资运到前线？” Logistics director Ghent quickly replied: „Most in two months time, we can all strategic resources in plan, deliver to the frontline combat unit hand.” 后勤部长阿根特急忙回答道:“最多再过两个月时间,我们就能够把计划中的所有战略物资,送到前线的作战部队手中。” Does not know when from starts, goes south India to become the Tsar government most important national policy, all strategic plannings, are conducted regarding this core. 不知道从什么时候开始,南下印度就成为了沙皇政府最重要的国策,所有的战略计划,都是围绕着这个核心进行的。 In this at crucial moment, Ghent does not dare to sell at a discount. Even is discontented with the frontline Russian force, he does not dare to do the matter here. 在这种关键时候,阿根特可不敢打折扣。即便是对前线的俄军再不满,他也不敢在这里搞事情。 Otherwise once in the battlefield made the careless mistake, Tsar will also kill people, even does not need Tsar to begin, the domestic interest group first made him shut up forever. 要不然战场上一旦出了纰漏,沙皇也是会杀人的,甚至不需要沙皇动手,国内的利益集团就先让他永远闭嘴了。 A Alexander III brow wrinkle, shakes the head immediately: „ It is not good, the speed was too slow. 亚历山大三世眉头一皱,随即摇了摇头:“不行,速度还是太慢了。 We are preparing, the English has not been idling. The British Parliament was discussing whether increases troops the issue of Afghan area, once the main force reinforcements of enemy arrived, this war was very difficult to end in a short time. ” 我们在做准备,英国人也没闲着。英国议会正在讨论是否增兵阿富汗地区的问题,一旦敌人的主力援兵到了,这场战争就很难在短时间内结束了。” The British Parliament does not have the secret, any valuable news enters here, in the shortest time will appear in the newspaper of London. 英国议会没有秘密,任何有价值的消息进入这里,都会在最短的时间出现在伦敦的报纸上。 In the newspaper published, the intelligence capability of Tsar government is weak, will receive this message. 报纸上都刊登了,沙皇政府的情报能力再弱,也会收到这个消息。 In order to fights a battle to force a quick decision, did not fall into Prussia war that deadlock condition, Alexander III naturally must worry. 为了能够速战速决,不陷入普俄战争那种僵持状态,亚历山大三世当然要着急了。 About paced back and forth in the heart, Ghent clenches teeth saying: „ Your majesty, actually the attack can be ahead of time. 在心中左右徘徊了一下,阿根特咬牙说道:“陛下,其实进攻是可以提前的。 The army combat of frontline, is not one day can consume all commodities. According to the material reserves of Central Asia army, they can definitely support over 40 days the continual combat. 前线的部队作战,也不是一天就能够把所有的物资都消耗的。根据目前中亚地区部队的物资储备来看,他们完全可以支撑四十天以上的连续作战。 During this period, we will have the commodity to arrive one after another. Actual operational time that the frontline units can support, will also be longer. 在这期间,我们还会有物资陆续抵达。前线部队能够支撑的实际作战时间,还会更长一些。 So long as the frontline units not corrupt merit advances recklessly, our rear services can follow, will not have problems. ” 只要前线部队不贪功冒进,我们的后勤就能够跟上,不会出问题的。” Theoretically, the Ghent's view issue does not have. 从理论上来说,阿根特的说法一点儿问题都没有。 The frontline has some material reserves, the rear services headquarters transports the commodity again in turn, good that so long as links up will not have problems, definitely does not need to wait for the commodity to arrive. 前线有一部分物资储备,后勤部再分批运送物资,只要衔接的好就不会出问题,完全没有必要等物资全部到位。 However, these are theoretically. If conducts the actual operation, must test the organizational ability of Tsar government. 然而,这些都是理论上。要是进行实际操作,就要考验沙皇政府的组织能力了。 The military requests to stockpile a half year of materiel ahead of time, launches the general attack again, besides just fired off the Central Asia war requirement recuperation army, the one who is more is the untrustworthy domestic bureaucrat. 军方要求提前储备半年的作战物资,再发起全面进攻,除了刚刚打完中亚战争需要休整部队外,更多的还是信不过国内的官僚。 Which link in the transportation process if has problems, commodity slow one step, or made a mistake the consignment place, takes a life of army sufficiently. 万一在运输过程中哪个环节出了问题,物资慢了一步,或者是搞错了发货地点,都足以要一支部队的命。 When the time comes, even if clutches to fall all responsible people, still has no value to the general situation. 到时候,就算是把所有责任人都揪出来咔嚓掉,也对大局没有任何价值。 Pondered a while time, some Alexander III of moving repeatedly confirmed: „Rear services headquarters really can guarantee that the commodity does arrive on time?” 沉思了一会儿功夫,有些动心的亚历山大三世再次确认道:“后勤部真的能够保证物资按时抵达么？” The guarantees do not exist, all does the logistics knows, the unexpected situation that this inside has were too many, especially the force majeure of nature. 保证是不存在的,所有搞后勤的都知道,这里面存在的意外情况太多了,尤其大自然的不可抗力。 Ghent braces oneself to reply: „ Rear services headquarters will guarantee that as far as possible most commodities arrived on time, make concrete do not have the means to safeguard to each army. 阿根特硬着头皮回答道:“后勤部会尽量保证大部分物资按时抵达,具体到每一支部队就没有办法保障了。 Except that the military notifies the combat plan to us ahead of time, the rear services headquarters prepare ahead of time, may keep up with the rhythm of frontline units. ” 除了军方提前向我们通报作战计划,后勤部提前进行准备,才有可能跟上前线部队的节奏。” Listened to this explanation, Alexander III does not worry counter- happily. So long as the total quantity supply, the commodity of some army were fully sluggish, that was the inevitable result. 听了这个解释,亚历山大三世不忧反喜。只要总量供应足了,个别部队的物资迟滞,那都是必然的结果。 In battlefield ever changing, today the station of army in the east side, will have the possibility to go to the west side tomorrow, the day after tomorrow may change the place. 战场上千变万化,今天部队的驻地在东边,明天就有可能去了西边,后天可能又换了地方。 Before radio station, administrative shipping motorcade, once, wanted to relate can only by riding a horse to pursue, coordinating is also normal. 在没有无线电台前,后勤运输车队一旦出发,想要联系就只能靠骑马追了,协调不过来也是正常的。 After stopping one next, Alexander III prudent saying of: „Gives your half a month time again, transports some commodities to the frontline as far as possible, we cannot miss this fighter aircraft.” 停顿了一下后,亚历山大三世慎重的说道:“再给你们半个月时间,尽可能多运送一些物资到前线,我们不能错过了这次战机。” Sees the Tsar attitude to be firm, Marshal Yiwanluofu starts to speak but hesitates. He always felt that this inside has the issue, but where could not find the issue. 见沙皇的态度坚决,伊万洛夫元帅欲言又止。他总感觉这里面有问题,但是又找不到问题在什么地方。 ...... ……
