Chapter 398: The Real European War

Far away in Saint Petersburg, Nicholas II was unaware that Arthur's plan had prolonged the lifespan of his dynasty, nor did he realize the turmoil within his empire was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

But now, Arthur had a more important task at hand - the rotation of the Fourth Division fighting in Europe.

Having been dispatched to Europe for more than four months, the Fourth Division had so far suffered 1,524 deaths and 5,323 injuries.

The combined casualties were nearly 6,800, having left the Fourth Division, originally consisting of 16,000 soldiers, with just over 10,000 left to fight.

Continuing forward, the fighting capacity of the Fourth Division was in question, and the soldiers would inevitably develop war-weariness due to prolonged combat.

After internal deliberations within the Ministry of Defense and Arthur's own planning, it was decided that the Third Division and the Second Guard Division would be deployed to Europe for the upcoming battle.
