Chapter 339: Dress Up Again

With so many allies, Hu Zhiyong had no choice but to sell his troops equipment and weapons to those small countries. What about your own troops?

"Change gear!" Hu Zhiyong said resolutely.

"Change—equipment?" Huang Jinshan was surprised, he had changed his equipment several times in ten years, and his firepower and weapons were more powerful every time!

"Yes, change gear!" What Hu Zhiyong has determined cannot be changed.

With a sudden increase of one million troops, and the need of so many allies, Hu Zhiyong's inventory of third-generation weapons was gone. And now the reequipped tank, from a distance, has a sharp nose, camouflage livery, huge pontoons, and a high barrel......

"The new vehicle has an anti-tank missile system and a high-speed automatic cannon equipped with a fire control computer and a laser rangefinder that plots the offensive route on a three-dimensional electronic map.

The officers and men of the amphibious mechanized division control amphibious assault fighting vehicles can conduct extreme training on the sea for the entire formation and ultra-long-distance direct voyage attack. Newly equipped amphibious self-propelled howitzers have also been incorporated into the landing exercise echelon to ensure strong fire cover in wartime. ”

Each company has ten combat vehicles, and one division is thousands of heavy equipment. Hu Zhiyong's unit is of the 44 type, and each company has an army infantry platoon. An army has such a tank armored division, as well as a helicopter division and a missile division. The whole army needs to be fast and agile in its actions, ensuring that there is not a single moment of delay in striking the enemy from a distance and in the speed of sorties!

"That's amazing!" Huang Jinshan looked at such equipment and roared with emotion.

"How many troops are equipped?" Hou Dashun was not moved by this little thing in front of him, but hoped to get more!

"Ten armies!" Ten armies and thirty divisions, each division standard of 15,000 people, Hu Zhiyong equipped 450,000 troops at one time. Everyone calmed down, thinking about whether they had their own share.

"One army on Ryukyu and Jeju Island; one army on Hainan Island and three armies in the Far East; a military in Shanghai; Phoenix, Darwin's army. a military in Brunei, Southeast Asia; There is one army in Sumatra, and one army is left to do maneuvering! ”

Speaking of this, Hu Zhiyong said to all the officers: "It is important to maintain ten mountain marine divisions and a certain number of airborne troops!" ”

Sun Weiru's unit trained two engineering divisions of the bridge and could complete the task of building the bridge in a short time. The officers and men of this unit worked very hard, but they were cared for by Hu Zhiyong as a baby.

The navy has also entered a new era, and in order to implement the most favorable situation for striking and defending, Hu Zhiyong divided the navy into four parts. South China Sea Fleet, Far East Fleet, Jeju Island Fleet and Southeast Asia Fleet.

The countries of Southeast Asia have small navies, each with four destroyers and twenty missile boats. The Far Eastern Fleet is the largest, with not only frigates and destroyers, but also two hundred missile boats, torpedo boats, ten supply ships and one of the largest aircraft carriers.

"Huang Jinshan!" While everyone was pondering, Hu Zhiyong suddenly shouted.

"Here!" Huang Jinshan was startled, but replied quickly.

"With you as the commander of the navy, you are in charge of all the navies. The commanders of the four fleets remain the same, and the commanders of the fleets of the countries of Southeast Asia must quickly establish a command mechanism! Hu Zhiyong gave the order directly this time and did not hand over power to Hou Dashun.

"Yes!"

"Yinlong, Su Xiqing, Chen Wanxin, Ma Xiandeng, Liu Xingdou!"

"Here!"

"Each of the five of you leads two amphibious mechanized units, plus one mountain unit, and each of you is the commander of five army groups. The First Army defended the Far East, the Second Army defended Shanghai and Hong Kong, the Third Army defended Hainan Island, the Fourth Army defended Jeju Island and Ryukyu, and the Fifth Army defended Phoenix and Darwin. ”

"Yes!"

"Sun Weiru, Li Jiayu!"

"Here!"

"You will be the commander-in-chief of the defense of Southeast Asia, and Li Jiayu will be the deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the group army. 500,000 Southeast Asian troops were quickly organized into 10 armies and 2 group armies! ”

"Yes!"

After Hu Zhiyong finished the order, he smiled at Hou Dashun and said: "Commander, the rest is up to you, you must pay close attention to training and quickly adapt to the new equipment and new tactics." ”

"Yes!" After Hou Dashun agreed, he turned back to all the navy, army, and air force generals and said: "The total strength of the army is as high as 1.8 million, can we stop the invasion from other places and quickly strike at the enemy?" ”

"Yes!" The generals of the three armies understood that the troops of the Tianhua Kingdom had once again improved their combat capability.

"A Southeast Asian campaign made me see the crisis!" Hu Zhiyong sighed and said: "The troop movement lasts for 20 days! If the enemy were to attack, would give you so much time to mobilize forces? If you want to add fuel to the tactics, what I want is a thunderbolt operation to quickly dominate the enemy!

Comrades! Don't think that our equipment is good and the quality of our soldiers is excellent, and paralyzing our minds will suffer a big loss after all! Southeast Asia is a piece of fat, and Asia is a treasure land. There is a lot of land and abundant resources, and the robbers will not let us live in Chang'an for a long time! ”

When Hu Zhiyong said this, he looked at the generals of the navy, land and air force and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in five years, we must reduce the number of troops by 600,000. I hope you work hard, I can't afford to raise so many people who eat food and become soldiers! ”

"Yes!"

The island nation and Hu Zhiyong reached an agreement, and the sea route was finally opened. With food, steel, oil and other supplies, a stronger navy and air force are being built rapidly. After many heavy losses, US bombers can no longer arbitrarily bomb the mainland of the island country.

On Indian soil, the Japanese army built a large number of arsenals. Artillery, tanks, and infantry weapons could all be crafted, and the enslaved Indians rapidly expanded their forces under the control of the Japanese army.

Hu Zhiyong knows that Iran and Iraq are both oil powers, and these warring countries will definitely have ambitions against Iran! However, he couldn't reach out, but he was very unwilling to let the oil be controlled by ambitious people!

In the Far East, the permanent population has reached 7 million, plus the traitors, Japanese prisoners, 200,000 rebel troops in India, and a large number of migrant workers from the Chinese mainland, the number of personnel has reached 13 million!

The number of people in the textile, garment, footwear and light industries on Jeju Island has increased dramatically, reaching nearly one million. Coupled with the population of more than 5 million people on Hainan Island, the pressure of management is huge!

"How long can the arms business be done? Are new weapons being sold? Hu Zhiyong was entangled in everything, and he couldn't help but start hitting the top of his head again.

"Report, the Iranian ambassador has come and hopes to establish friendly business and trade cooperation with us!"

"Please!" This was not an official meeting, and Mr. Hu wanted to be more comfortable negotiating at home.

"Yes!"

In 1939, World War II broke out, and Reza Khan declared Iran neutral. In 1941, a pro-German regime was established in Iraq, and Anglo-Indian troops responded quickly by landing in Iraq, occupying Baghdad and overthrowing the pro-German government. Reza Khan was not a formal ally of Germany, but his pro-German tendencies were well known to everyone. Next, Britain will have to clean up Iran.

On June 22, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union. After the outbreak of the war on the Eastern Front, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill immediately handed an olive branch to Moscow. One of the Anglo-Soviet agreements with Germany was to force Reza Khan to expel the Germans from Iran, as Iran could become an important conduit for British arms and medicine to Russia.

Reza Khan resisted British and Soviet pressure, rejected their demands, and immediately invited a joint invasion by the two countries. In August 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union attacked Iran from the north and south, and the two armies joined forces in less than a month, issuing an ultimatum to Reza Khan, forcing him to hand over all Germans in Iraq and to close the embassies of Germany and its allies.

Reza Khan showed enough loyalty to the Germans, and when a large army came to the city, Reza Khan was unwilling to give in and go into exile. Before leaving, he carried a small bag of Iranian land with him, and he died in South Africa at the age of 65.

Before leaving, Reza Khan passed the throne to his son Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. This was Shah Pahlavi, who was later driven to the United States by the Iranian Religious Revolution, when he was only a young man in his early 20s.

British and Soviet troops entered Tehran on September 17, 1941, and arrested all Germans there, including diplomats, half of whom were captured by Russia and taken to Siberia, where most of them died tragically; The other half was exiled to Australia by the British.

At the beginning of 1942, Iran accepted the Triple Alliance Treaty, and in fact this new "ally" was divided between Britain and Russia. The British, in the south they occupied, supported tribal forces against the central government; The Soviet Union, on the other hand, fostered the "People's Party" in the north it occupied.

In September 1943, the Pahlavi Shah declared war on Germany, and Iran became a member of the Allied bloc. The weapons of the United States and Britain aiding the Soviet Union were continuously transported to the Soviet Union through Iran.

The Foreign Secretary was very talkative and gave a full account of the situation in Iran during World War II. Hu Zhiyong listened patiently, very politely with a sweet smile.

"Mr. Ambassador, aren't you worried about Iran being carved up by the great powers in the future?" Although Hu Zhiyong does not know the history of Iran, according to his judgment, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and France will definitely not allow themselves to survive independently!

The British and Soviet invasions of Iran were carried out in the name of purging German spies in Iran. Actually, even if there were no Germans in Iran at that time, the invasion would have happened.

This was because the root cause of the invasion was to open a channel for transporting aid to the Soviet Union, and Iran was the most reliable and closest route at the time, and Iran had just built a large railway connecting the Persian Gulf with the Caspian Sea, making it the ideal route for the Allies to assist the Soviet Union.

Under the severe war situation at that time, Britain and the Soviet Union naturally would not give up on invading Iran because it was not in accordance with international law. As Shah Pahlavi said in his memoirs: "If the allies had not been required to transport arms through Iran, they would never have occupied our country in the Second World War." ”

The King sent a letter of distress directly to President Roosevelt, asking the President of the United States to "take effective and urgent humanitarian measures to put an end to the acts of aggression [of Britain and the Soviet Union]."

The main concern of American policymakers is the overall war situation in Europe, and in their eyes, it is more conducive to fighting against Germany as the most important thing. Therefore, in response to the request of the Iranian side, US Secretary of State Hull simply replied: "Iran should work hand in hand with the Allies to gain their favor and never provide any assistance to the Axis powers." ”

When the ambassador said this, he said miserably: "Our hope of relying on the United States to stop the threat of Britain and the Soviet Union has been disappointed, and I heard that you have liberated Southeast Asia and helped them drive out the Japanese army, so the king has come here to ask you for help!" ”

"It's hard, it's hard!" Hu Zhiyong shook his head regretfully, he had already offended Britain, France and other European countries, and if he sent troops at this time, he would be hostile to the allies!

"You don't want to make a move!" The ambassador stood up indignantly: "The Soviets have occupied our Azerbaijani and Kurdish regions, and they want to divide our territory!" Sanshao, please save our 50 million compatriots! ”
