Chapter 420: Chen Xu's Little Plan
In the empty dark brown all-wood decoration office, Chen Xu was lying on the wide desk processing official documents, and the faint sound of "rustling" writing wafted in the air. Vertex. Fastest updates
This is a mansion in the suburbs of Kuncheng during the Republic of China, which was the residence of a big warlord, and there are a lot of cultural relics and antiques in it, which were confiscated by the municipal government after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, it is very inconvenient to work in such a house hidden in the mountains, and it is too luxurious to live in, so it has been idle and needs to be maintained from time to time.
The Kuncheng City Government learned that Chen Xu liked to be quiet, and it happened that the 69th Army was stationed not far from this mansion, and the city government sent someone to clean up this mansion and decorate it, temporarily serving as the headquarters of the 69th Army.
Sitting in a spacious office of 200 square meters, with a large desk four meters long and two meters wide in front of him, wearing a neat military uniform, listening to classical music and processing documents, Chen Xu felt as if he had traveled through time and space and touched the feeling of the great warlord back then.
The headquarters of the 69th Army is very large, after all, it is a military organ that manages 100,000 people, and there are thousands of officers and cadres.
As soon as you open the door, you can see the officers and soldiers working in a noisy manner, and there is even a temporary electronic command center in the basement, and the sound of the computer host cooling from the downstairs is incessant all day long.
These days, the group army has gratefully and neatly slimmed down, cleaned up nearly a third of its officers, and disbanded some overlapping departments, although the leadership teams of each department have been reduced, they are small and capable, and the redundant personnel have been removed, and all that remains are elites.
Chen Xu's war room was also renamed and changed to the 69th Army Operations Department, with 20 staff officers in the entire organ, including Chen Xu, and it was an organ that gave advice to the headquarters.
According to the establishment of the Central Military Commission, the leaders of division-level units of the operational department of the group army are cadres at the division level, and the level is about the same as that of a prefecture-level city mayor.
Chen Xu still led the post of head of the war department, but his job was not to march and arrange, but to use his advanced knowledge of political history to analyze the battle plan assigned by the headquarters from the economic and political level.
A good battle plan can be of great benefit at the political and economic level, and if there is no benefit to the country after the war, then there is no need to fight the war.
"Knock Knock"
"Come in!" The sudden knock on the door woke up Chen Xu, who was immersed in the office, and rubbed his somewhat sore arm to let the knocker come in.
The person who entered the door was Zhang Jian, deputy commander of the group army and commander of the heavy division, after he entered the door, he closed the door casually, walked over quickly with a half-centimeter-thick document in his hand, put the document on Chen Xu's desk, licked his dry lips and said: "Why did you come here from the special operations plan, send a special reconnaissance company to Kerala in southwest India, and then let the navy send a disguised merchant ship with helicopters to meet in the open sea, is there anything to explain?" ”
As the deputy commander, Zhang Jian not only needs to manage the affairs of the whole army, but also focuses on the military affairs of the tank division. In the morning, Chen Xu's war department submitted a bunch of documents, and this thin battle plan was very inconspicuously sandwiched in the middle.
Zhang Jian was a very serious person, almost every document would be roughly read from beginning to end, and when he saw this battle plan, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of sending a special reconnaissance company to that Kerala state, which was adjacent to the Arab Sea and not far from Mumbai.
The military affairs handled by the War Department led by Chen Xu have always been very serious and reliable, and suddenly such an unreliable combat mission made Zhang Jian a little confused, and he had to go downstairs to inquire in person.
"Ahem...... cough twice" Chen Xu coughed twice, thought for a while, and then hesitated to respond: "Actually, there is no special meaning, that is, seeing that the war is about to start, I want to take people around Mumbai to conduct field research, after all, Mumbai will become a city under the control of the Soviet Union in the next few years, and become a sea material transfer center for the Soviet army." If we can grasp the local human geography in advance, we may be able to go over and wreak havoc in wartime and disgust the Soviets. ”
"You're going to go yourself!" Zhang Jian frowned, shook his head and said: "Britain has provided us with the most detailed map of India, including the local cultural situation, the British colonized the Indian Peninsula for 190 years, and they are more familiar with this place than the Indians themselves, and the map they provided is enough for our army to fight, and you need to personally investigate the situation there." ”
"It's been a lot since the British withdrew from India at this time and at that time, and the situation there must have changed a lot, so it doesn't hurt for me to go and see." Chen Xu swallowed his saliva, his eyes wandering.
"You kid has a ghost in his heart, your war department must be planning something in secret!" Zhang Jian narrowed his eyes, where could Chen Xu's expression escape his fiery eyes, and he immediately asked sharply.
"It's really nothing, it's just that a reconnaissance company will be dispatched to take a look, and it will be back in three or five days at most." Chen Xu definitely didn't dare to tell the truth, so he shook his head decisively and pushed the pressure back.
Zhang Jian knew that Chen Xu was a steady person, and it was impossible to do something out of the ordinary, so he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up and shake his head and go out.
Seeing Zhang Jian leaving, Chen Xucai patted his chest, he asked to formulate a reconnaissance plan to go to Kerala, India, and the 19 staff officers of the War Department all expressed their incomprehension, after all, now is the most critical time, and the battle plan issued by the General Staff should be taken seriously, rather than privately formulating some small tasks that are not scored, not to mention that this Kerala will be an area heavily occupied by the Soviet army in the future, and it has nothing to do with our army.
However, after Chen Xu said the reason why he wanted to personally lead the team to Kerala, the young staff officers of the War Department suddenly exploded, and they were all enthusiastic, staying up all night to find the information sent by the British, and formulated a comprehensive battle plan.
As Zhang Jian said, this is a plan made by the War Department in private, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big conspiracy. Whoever let Chen Xu stay in the headquarters all day long to deal with boring military affairs every day, anyone will be irritable, it just so happened that when Chen Xu was reading the information in India, he accidentally remembered a big news in the later generations, and suddenly wanted to go to India for a trip before the South Asian war started, and make a fortune back by the way.
Because this plan is so shocking that if it is exposed, it will not only attract the attention of the Military Commission, but if it reaches the international community, it will be tantamount to reminding the Soviet army that this will have a disastrous impact on the cultural relics and monuments of the whole of India.
So Chen Xu didn't say the specific content of this plan from beginning to end, only a few people in the War Department knew! (To be continued.) )
