This time it was Xiao Mingwei and Tang Xunliang's turn to look at each other, and the joint meeting of the chiefs of staff began to discuss the way to play to the Wu Dynasty's inland monster farming and leveling was just finished, and the request of the Wu Dynasty came over immediately, this is too much of a coincidence, right? I was so sleepy that someone brought me a pillow right away.

Xiao Mingwei hurriedly sat up straight, and said to Du Yande, "We need such a long-range operation very much, not only on our marching ability, but also on our logistics ability, so this operation is very necessary." ”

"Yes," Tang Xunliang hurriedly added, "Such a long-range operation is not only a test for the army, but also an action for the navy, and we can even ask the Wu Dynasty to open a port to unload supplies for us, such as Dengzhou." ”

The ship is far away, and the enemy is alone

"I'll go," Du Yande couldn't help laughing, "I know that everyone is nervous about the Dengzhou rebellion that may occur, but it's too anxious to reach out to Dengzhou now, right?" You must know that Dengzhou is located in the northeast of Shandong, across the Bohai Sea from Liaodong Town of the Wu Dynasty, and has always been the main material export port to provide material reinforcements for Dongjiang Town and Liaodong. We are a force that is not accepted by the Wu Dynasty officials, and it may not be possible to send troops to ask them to open the port, so everyone asked for their most important Dengzhou in one go to unload supplies, do you think the Wu Dynasty will be willing? ”

"Of course I know that the Wu Dynasty will not be willing, but this is the condition of negotiation," Xiao Mingwei said with a smile, "Although we want to send troops, they also want us to send troops, even if we are wishful thinking now, we still can't make them think that we are too easy and cheap." ”

"Yes, what is easy to get is especially difficult to cherish." Cao Xiang said deliberately beside him, causing Du Yande to look sideways and explain, "We are talking about the matter of sending troops to Shanxi, what do you think of?" These words immediately provoked Xiao Mingwei and Tang Xunliang to laugh.

"I'm talking about sending troops to Shanxi," Cao Xiang said seriously, "Originally, if the Wu Dynasty said that they wanted us to send troops, we would immediately send out the troops, so what do they think of us?" If we don't want to give them the impression that they are happy to be slaves, we must force them to do something that they can't do, lest they feel too easy to get it. After arriving, what they ask for may be to send troops to Pingliao, will you go? Or is it a holy decree sent to us to offer weapons and equipment, will you send it? It is better to be stronger now and beg us if they can't get off the stage than if we can't come down to the stage and beg them for three or four times in the future. ”

"Hmmm! You can say that again! Xiao Mingwei slapped his face several times in agreement, and said to Cao Xiang, "I didn't expect the wife of Executive Committee Du to have such superb opinions." ”

Du Yande hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, don't!" Don't talk nonsense, we are a senate system, not a hall of words, and this executive committee is not my own decision, but the five executive committee members must be familiar with the situation before they can vote, and national affairs like this must be submitted to the general assembly of the senators for discussion and voting before making a decision, what she is saying now only represents her personal opinion, not the opinion of the executive committee! ”

After the far branch of the single ship by the trouble, not by the sail

"Don't be too nervous," Tang Xunliang hurriedly smiled on the side, "First of all, Comrade Cao Xiang is also a veteran, not to mention that he is also the chief secretary of the Executive Committee Office, of course she has the right and obligation to express her personal opinions, this is not a political interference, not to mention that you only have one wife, or the daughter-in-law of the senator, of course you won't mess up the harem, right?" So it's fine. It's just that Executive Committee Du should be careful when he looks at those little secretaries when he goes to work, otherwise we can't go back to kneel on the washboard! ”

"I'll go! You think of me as a stallion, right? Du Yande couldn't help pouting, "It's not like this, you see that her seat is at the door of our executive committee office, and she will look over at the slightest noise inside, let alone flirting with the little secretary, even if it is a cough twice, the whole office will hear it, if I dare to tease the little secretary, she will definitely be the first to hear it." I'm not a good person, otherwise the whole Dongfang Port would have been in an uproar. ”

"Mmmmmm, okay, let's not go far from the topic," Tang Xunliang said with a smile, "I remember that you SC have this tradition, a post that is not off-topic is not a good post, you elders will go off topic when talking about things in three or two sentences, let's not go off topic first, let's talk about this military dispatch first." Anyway, we have already discussed it with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the matter of sending troops to Shanxi is definitely going to go, but the specific way to go, and those troops to go, can only be determined through the next discussion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and when I discussed it with Lao Xiao, He Luolong, and the chief of staff of Maruyama, it was decided that it would be about the size of a regiment sent by the army, because if we need to maintain sufficient logistics capacity, we can only maintain the logistics supply of about one regiment through shipping. ”

"Do you mean to send troops to Shanxi this time, or through shipping?" Du Yande asked, Tang Xunliang nodded, "I know that you think that with an airship now, you should be able to use an airship to transport it, that's right, the airship can be used, but the shortcomings of the airship are also obvious." In particular, our airship soft airbags use small intestine skin for sealing, now it is winter in Shanxi, the temperature at high altitude will only be colder, so these small intestine skin is likely to freeze or harden at high altitude, resulting in leakage. Even if there is no problem, we still have a limit on the tonnage of transportation, the airship can only carry about ten tons of weight, ten tons of weight sounds very good, in fact, it is useless in military transportation, an infantry gun is almost two and a half tons, and the supporting ammunition is quite heavy, the weight of ten tons is at most to transport a cannon and a little more ammunition, and it cannot be used to transport people, and it is overweight to transport people. ”

"And what about transporting only people?" Du Yande asked a little curiously, Tang Xunliang smiled awkwardly, and Xiao Mingwei next to him replied, "An army soldier and his equipment are about one hundred and twenty-five kilograms, if they are transported by airship, they can only transport about eighty people at one time, and they are not even one, and the transportation time is long, which is quite uneconomical, and it is better to ship through the navy." ”

"Well," Du Yande nodded, "then how many ships do we need if the navy is used for shipping and escort?" ”

Sun Diqiu was ruthless, and the ball was cold by Gu Ji

"The soldiers of a regiment are about 1,200 people, and an independent artillery company is needed to provide artillery support, so just the personnel, we need about 170 tons of carrying capacity," Tang Xunliang said, "This problem is not difficult, two Victory class can be solved, the only trouble is the equipment, the 1629 type smoothbore gun used by the artillery weighs two and a half tons, not only needs mules and horses to transport, but also has to be loaded and unloaded when disembarking, which is a waste of manpower, and the two Victory class may not be able to load, Most likely, a specialized transport ship will be required to assist the transport to complete it. ”

"Are you playing with the idea of those two liberty ships?" Cao Xiang asked on the side, and Tang Xunliang blushed when he arrived, "I'm not not, it's not the idea of beating them, but I want to pass this ...... No, the main thing is that our ships cannot transport so much, after all, ours is mainly battleships. You think, we only have two Victory-class ships on mission at sea now, and the other two Victory-class ships have been docked for construction, if we really drive those two Victory-class to the north, it will inevitably affect the defense force of Dongfang Port......"

"Old Don! Forget it," Xiao Mingwei next to him stretched out his hand to interrupt Tang Xunliang's words, and then looked at Du Yande and Cao Xiang and said, "In fact, the navy has always had intentions for those two free ships, but now we all know that we must first maintain the civil capacity of Dongfang Port, otherwise our transportation can only rely on other people's maritime capacity, which is equivalent to always wearing a noose around our necks, which is seriously affected by the capacity from the outside world." The Navy has a big picture, but this operation is also important to us, so we want to be able to use steam-powered ships as soon as possible, so that we can carry out ocean transportation without restrictions. ”

"Uncle Xiao," Du Yande touched the teacup on the table, the tea in it was not so hot, he took a sip, "I know very well the importance of transport ships for war, but these two ships cannot be handed over to the navy, at least the oil of the Dongfeng must be sent over first, you also know that those lucky ships are not able to transport oil tanks on the ship, let alone install electric equipment, so it is necessary to give priority to ensuring the capacity of the commercial and trade department." As you can see, since the launch of those two ships, the keels have been laid in the empty docks, and the construction of ships three or four will soon begin. I remember that the two Victory classes in the other dry dock have also been refitted and are ready to be launched. ”

"Alas......" Tang Xunliang sighed, "Okay, those two ships can indeed be launched, but because they have not yet undergone sea trials, I don't know what the specific performance is, and because these two Steam Victory class are only steam-powered, and the mast has been cut off, so once there is a problem, they can only stay in place and wait for rescue, so the navy is not very confident in these two Steam Victory class." ”

"But those two are also fully steam-powered," Cao Xiang said, Tang Xunliang shook his head, "It's different, the drive system of the free wheel is designed independently, and it has been designed at the beginning of the construction of the ship, while the drive structure of the Victory class is designed under the condition that it does not affect the safety of the Victory-class shell, and many places have to make concessions, and it will be difficult to repair once there is a problem." But forget it," Tang Xunliang seemed to be deflated as he spoke, "Let's use a sail victory class and a steam victory class to complete the transportation of the first batch of troops, as for the transportation of ammunition, we can use a few Fu ships to complete it." ”

"Okay, then that's it, our executive committee will first discuss whether to send troops to Shanxi, and then submit it to the plenary meeting for discussion," Du Yande said and nodded at Xiao Mingwei and Tang Xunliang, "Your joint staff committee should first formulate the number, establishment, weapons and equipment of the troops, and it is best to submit them to the executive committee before the plenary meeting." ”

Mrs. Sun Di is not affectionate, and he fights Mrs. Yueku

That night, in the office of the executive committee, the five executive committee members rarely got together to discuss the matter of sending troops to Shanxi. "I'll go! So many troops? Or is it a different compilation, how can this be played? Sun Wenbin looked at the dense small print on the document and said, "The Marine Corps, the Army, and the Foreign Legion each have a company, the Army Artillery has an artillery company, and the Navy will dispatch two Victory-class ships, one steam-powered and the other sail-powered, to transport personnel, in addition to six Fuchuan transport ships and one sail destroyer to transport equipment and escorts." ”

"Alas, obviously," Yang Minghuan said with a sigh, "This is just that all branches of the Joint Staff Council want to show their faces in this first intervention of the Martial States in the north, but I am very much against such an approach!" ”

"Yes, I am also against it," Du Yande hurriedly said, "The training methods between different arms are different, communication and coordination are very cumbersome, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, if there is a little loophole in the coordination and is caught by the enemy, it is likely to cause heavy casualties to our army, if it is to go to a battalion, then it can only go to one branch, and it must not be mixed and matched." ”

"That's it," Zhang Yuan's speech seemed to pull his ribs, and he couldn't help but cover his chest there and gasp for a few breaths before he said again, "The army and the Marine Corps have always had contradictions, especially during the selection of the Hong Kong Garrison Army, some veteran officers even jumped from the army to the Marine Corps, not to mention the disobedience and disrespect of the Army's command during the Battle of Wenjiazhuang. So it can only be the same class, and I recommend the Foreign Legion. ”

"Well, I also agree with the Foreign Legion," Xiao Jing said, "The Foreign Legion is mainly foreign naturalized citizens, and if they suffer casualties in battle, the compensation of the soldiers of the Foreign Legion is higher than that of other arms, but they do not need to support the disabled soldiers and the families of martyrs like other arms, which is more economical and energy-saving in comparison." ”

"Then it is recommended that the Joint Staff Council send the Foreign Legion, but the artillery can only choose the artillery of the army, and the Foreign Legion does not have artillery for the time being." Sun Wenbin said as he scribbled a few times on the paper with a pencil, picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to the Joint Staff Committee, and then continued, "The Air Force will also send two more Mozu attack planes, one Mosquito plane, and their entourage, what is this for?" Ready for a world war? ”
