"Russians and British people? These guys are really uneasy and always want to cause trouble for us... If I had known this, I would have beaten them a little harder in the last war!" Marshal Niu Meng said. Although he resigned as Chief of Staff, his temper was still so hot.

"Forget it! Anyone with a discerning eye can see the current expansion direction of the empire. The last time the Russians were severely injured by the empire, they always held a grudge. This time it was understandable that they caused trouble for the empire. As for the British, have they been curbing the development of the empire in the past few years? As a result, the empire was not only not curbed, but became stronger!" Long Yufei said with a smile.

In Central Asia, Russia was originally a battle with Britain. Originally, the Russians had the upper hand in Central Asia. After all, the Russian army was strong and could directly invade Central Asia. But the British were not able to do it. Their navy was the world's number one, but the navy's warships could not reach the shore, right? In Central Asia, which belongs to the inland, it was normal that the British could not compete with Russia. However, as Russia suffered a crushing defeat in the war with the empire, the Russian forces had to withdraw from this region. Central Asia was temporarily in a vacuum of power. The three Khanates in Central Asia were weak and could not compete with the Chinese Empire at all. For their respective interests, both Russia and Britain supported the Khanate in Central Asia, which is completely understandable.

This is especially true for Britain. If the empire controls Central Asia, it will pose a threat to the British Indian colonies from both east and west. This will seriously threaten the British rule in India. For this reason, the British will definitely try every means to create obstacles to China's expansion. I hope this can be used to delay China's expansion and gain enough time to prepare for war with all their might.

"Your Majesty, we can't let it go! Neither the Russians nor the British are good things." Marshal Niu Meng said.

"Okay! They only dare to secretly support the three Central Asian countries. If they dare to send troops to help the three Central Asian countries, then the empire will not forgive them easily." A murderous intent flashed in Long Yufei's eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Niu Meng had no choice but to stop saying anything. Long Yufei had already made a decision, and he could not question it.

"General Liu, keep going! Even with the support of the British and Russians, I believe that we can successfully achieve our goals!" Long Yufei said confidently. The more than 300,000 troops deployed in the 2nd Army in the northwest are not vegetarians. Such a huge military force is enough to sweep the entire Central Asian region. As long as Britain and Russia do not directly send troops, the empire can destroy the three Khanate in Central Asia and control the Central Asian region.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming nodded, and then continued to explain the combat plan of the General Staff.

"The ruling center of the Kokhan Khanate is located in the Ferkan Basin. It is a mountain basin between the Tianshan Mountains and the Gisar-Alay Mountains. If the imperial army wants to attack the Ferkan Basin, it can only attack westward from the north along the remnants of the Tianshang Mountains, and then attack into the basin from the west of the Ferkan Basin. As long as the imperial army can capture the Ferkan Basin, the Kokhan Khanate will be finished." Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming said.

"The journey is not close to Khuzhan from Yili and then attacking the Fergan Basin! There are also some desert areas in the middle. How to ensure logistics supply?" Long Yufei asked. The main constraints of the Imperial Army's attack on Central Asia were the problem of logistics supply. Otherwise, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army would not have to prepare for two years, and they would send troops directly to destroy the three Central Asian countries.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the difficulties in supply. Therefore, the General Staff plans to mainly use cavalry during this battle. The 3rd Cavalry Army and the 4th Cavalry Army, plus the 8 border guard cavalry brigades, have a total strength of about 120,000. With the equipment of the imperial cavalry, it is enough to sweep across Central Asian countries. Even with the support of Britain and Russia, they cannot resist the imperial army!" Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming continued.

Long Yufei nodded. Central Asia is indeed suitable for cavalry combat. If the 3rd Cavalry Army, the 3rd Cavalry Army and 8 border guard cavalry brigades are dispatched, they can indeed easily defeat the troops of the three Central Asian countries.

"Kuzhan is a dangerous place, and it is also an area where the Kokhan Khanate is heavily deployed. Without strong firepower support, relying solely on cavalry, it is probably impossible to conquer it?" Marshal Niu Meng raised a question.

"Marson, the Khanate of Kokhan did build a fortress in Khumhan and also obtained some artillery from the British. However, for the imperial army, this was nothing. The artillery equipped by the imperial cavalry was enough to conquer there. As long as the Kumhan was captured, the next one was the plain. The cavalry of the imperial court could gallop at will." Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming said.

"Since the General Staff has been fully prepared, then follow your plan. I hope that the Empire's attack on Central Asia will be able to win in one battle!" Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General General Sun Hao, Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, both nodded. They knew what Long Yufei meant and did not want the war to last too long. In addition, casualties must be controlled as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, after the Khanate of Kokhan, the empire's army will continue to advance westward and destroy the Bukhara Khanate and Shiva Khanate. The strength of these two khanate countries is weaker than that of the Khanate of Kokhan. The total strength of the two countries is only more than 100,000. The empire's army can also easily defeat them. The only thing to worry about now is the attitude of the surrounding countries in addition to logistics supplies." Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming said.

"The Russians and the British should not directly send troops to interfere. The Russians have just ended the war with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. With the last loss at the hands of the empire, Russia's military strength has fallen to a freezing point. As long as the empire does not attack Russia, they will not go to war with the empire for Central Asia.

As for the British, they would not have the courage to do so. Otherwise, the war with the British would have probably begun long ago. Before the British thought they could completely take our control, they could only cause us a little trouble at most. Unless they did not want their India anymore." Long Yufei said. If the British dared to send troops to intervene in the war in Central Asia, this would undoubtedly further intensify the conflict between China and Britain. At that time, this is likely to become the fuse of the war, leading to the outbreak of the war. The British dare not take this risk!

Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming nodded.

"Your Majesty, in addition to Russia and Britain, there is also the Persian Kingdom." said General Sun Hao, Chief of Staff.

"The Kingdom of Persia?" Long Yufei frowned. The current Persian Kingdom originated from the Persian Empire in history. The former Persian Empire was a powerful empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa. However, with the decline of national strength later, the territory became smaller and smaller. The current Persian Kingdom is under the rule of the Kazar Dynasty.

..In 1779, Karim Khan died, and took advantage of the opportunity of the descendants of the Sand Dynasty fighting for the throne and killing each other to expand his power. In 1794, he captured Kerman and ruled the major provinces of Iran. In 1796, he was crowned the king of Persia and established the capital of Tehran. In the same year, he conquered Khorasan.

In the early days of the establishment of the Qazar Dynasty, Western powers intensified their struggles in Persia. In 1801, Russia annexed Georgia; Britain's three wars with Persia led to Persia's cede land and reimbursement of Afghanistan. Since then, France, Austria, the United States and others have successively forced Persia to enter into unequal treaties.

"Can't it be possible that the Persians dare to interfere with the empire's invasion of Central Asia? Although Central Asia was a vassal of the Persians in the past, now the Persians have problems with self-protection, let alone interfere with the empire." Long Yufei couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, we have to send Persians to Central Asia with the support of Britain and Russia." said General Sun Hao, Chief of Staff.

"Well, if the Persians dare to do that, I authorize you to expand the scale of the war and make those guys pay a heavy price for their greed!" Long Yufei said. Although the situation in Central Asia and West Asia is a bit complicated, if they threaten the interests of the empire, the empire would not mind solving these problems by force.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Sun Hao nodded. With Long Yufei's authorization, the problem will be much easier to solve.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff plans to advance to Central Asia in one month. Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu, commander of the 2nd Army, will fully command this battle!" General Sun Hao said.

"Okay, General Zhao, this battle will be left to you. I hope you can give me a complete and important Central Asia belonging to the empire!" Long Yufei said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured that you must clear the enemies of Central Asia for Your Majesty and control the entire Central Asia in your hands!" Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu promised.

Long Yufei nodded. He believed that Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu and his army had this ability!

The day after the meeting ended, Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu rushed back to Central Asia by train. He had already brought the order to send troops personally issued by the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei. After he returned to the northwest, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army that had been prepared will officially begin to send troops to the three Central Asian countries.
