Chapter 345: Military Exercises
At the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department of the People's Army, Director Li Zhen and Deputy Director Qin Wenle both looked a little ugly, there was only one year before the next war, but the progress of the Military Intelligence Department seemed to have stagnated.
Basically, after the armistice agreement expires, the People's Army will launch a final war against the Ming Court and destroy the Ming Court in one fell swoop.
The key lies in when the People's Army will destroy the Ming Court, and at what cost the People's Army will destroy the Ming Court.
The agents of the Military Intelligence Department were active in the Ming court-ruled area, looking for all the strength that could be co-opted, persuading them to surrender to the People's Army, as long as they gave a verbal intention, and when the People's Army forces fought over, Li Zhen and Qin Lewen believed that no one would dare to stop the People's Army.
Initially, the work of the Military Intelligence Department was carried out very smoothly, but since the beginning of this year, even the number of new forces that have verbally expressed their affiliation with the People's Army has been greatly reduced, and the most important thing is that the Tang Qi Department of the Yunnan Ming Army, the Li Zhengmao Department of the Ming Army in Huguang and the Yangtze River North, and the Zheng Yuewen Department of the Zhejiang Ming Army, the three Ming armies have not made any statements, and these three Ming armies are the targets that the Military Intelligence Department can win over.
Li Zhen and Qin Lewen both understand that the reason why the Ming court forces have not expressed their affiliation with the People's Army is very simple, on the one hand, the Ming Court has millions of troops, and this number of troops has increased the confidence of some people, and others have publicized that the People's Army is so powerful, but many people have not seen the People's Army with their own eyes, and they can't imagine how powerful the People's Army is, and they think that millions of troops can resist the People's Army.
There are also people waiting, there is still some time before the armistice agreement expires, and maybe other changes will occur in the next time, the Ming court will be able to block the people's army, and even the Ming court will destroy the people's army.
Even if the Ming court can only block the people's army, the vast majority of people (there are no low-level people) are willing to continue to stay in the Ming court-ruled area, especially the bigwigs who are the leaders of one party's forces, when they arrive in the people's army-ruled area, they can only be a rich man, they have some distrust in the people's army, and they are a piece of fat in the past, to be slaughtered by others.
The forces of all parties in the area ruled by the Ming court are hesitating, and the work of the military intelligence department of the People's Army will not go smoothly, but whether it goes smoothly or not, the work of the military intelligence department will continue to report to the metropolitan governor.
In the office, Fang Nan listened to Li Zhen's report, and there was no displeasure on his face, but Li Zhen couldn't be indifferent.
"Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates are not doing well, please punish him."
Fang Nan shook his head and smiled: "I am still quite satisfied with the work of the Military Intelligence Department, you have used all the methods you can use, and it is very good to get to this point now, well, I have an idea, and then the Military Intelligence Department will cooperate with the armies of various places to perform a show, and your work can be carried out quickly." ”
"Acting?" Li Zhen was a little puzzled.
Looking at Li Zhen's appearance, Fang Nan explained a little about "acting", which refers to the military exercises of the People's Army.
The People's Army itself is very aware of its own strength, and those who have dealt with the People's Army also know the strength of the People's Army, but people who are far away from the areas ruled by the People's Army do not know much about the strength of the People's Army.
Since they can't see it, let's find a way to let them see it, the People's Army can conduct military exercises, show its strength, and invite all forces in the Ming court's ruling area to send people to watch, the leaders of the forces dare not come, it is enough to send cronies over.
The KPA does not need to hide and tuck, and barely show its strongest side in the "guests", Fang Nan feels that those guests will definitely be frightened by the strength of the KPA.
Military exercises and military parades are all good ways to show their strength, but they are limited by the exchange of information in this era, and can only be done by inviting people to visit, and this task can only be handed over to the military intelligence department, whose special agents contact all parties in the Ming court, and the military is responsible for organizing military exercises in various places.
This has to be acted out well, and after that, there will definitely be many leaders who will lose their faith in stubbornly resisting to the end, and they will not be able to resist the People's Army at all.
Of course, these are all fantasies in Fang Nan's mind, and they need to be implemented by the Military Intelligence Department and the military.
Li Zhen listened to the words of the Grand Governor, and suddenly became enlightened.
"The subordinates promised to invite all the 'guests' back and arrange a good show for them."
"Okay, go down and make things pretty."
"My subordinates understand."
After Li Zhen left the office, Fang Nan wrote a new document on the acting of the army and the Military Intelligence Department, and asked the secretary Dong Zhenye to send it to Hu Zhuang, and Hu Zhuang and Li Zhen discussed the next acting, but in the end, it was to ask the local people's army and the military intelligence department to cooperate.
There is no need for hundreds of thousands of people's troops to gather together to conduct a grand military exercise, then it is too troublesome to do, at most a division is a unit to carry out a military exercise, and only two or three thousand personnel can appear in a military exercise, and the main display is howitzers, tiger guns, grenades, rockets, and other firearms.
The total strength of the guard team formed by the gentry and merchants in the Ming court is many, but the weapons equipped are mainly broadswords and spears, and even some escorts are not even equipped with broadswords and spears, and can only be equipped with wooden sticks or sharpened wooden sticks.
Soon, Hu Zhuang and Li Zhen sat down with the personnel of the two departments to discuss the next cooperation between the army and the military intelligence department.
In fact, the MI originally belonged to the army, but its level is constantly improving, and now the MI cannot reach the level of the army, but it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the army, but is directly under the jurisdiction of Fang Nan, and the army is also under the jurisdiction of Fang Nan.
After several detailed discussions, the cooperation between the armed forces and the Military Intelligence Department was decided, and the "guests" in Yunnan could be arranged to visit a military exercise at the Third Group Army in Guangxi, and the "guests" in Zhejiang could be arranged to visit the Second Group Army in Fujian to visit a military exercise.
The specific timing of the military exercise will be discussed between the military intelligence departments of each province and the troops stationed in various localities, and the main factor will be on the side of the military intelligence department, and it will also depend on when the military intelligence department will send the "guests" and the military exercises will only begin when the guests are delivered.
Not long after, one after another orders were sent from Guangzhou City to the People's Army and the Military Intelligence Division of the four provinces other than Guangdong Province.
