In Yingkou Port in Liaodong, two newly launched large sail carriers slowly docked at the wharf, and the naval officers and men on board threw off the cables, and then set up a gangplank, and a group of ragged Shanxi refugees staggered down from the boats.

It's autumn now, and the weather in Liaodong has begun to get cooler. From time to time, a cold snap will hit from Siberia, making Liaodong extremely cold.

Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, Song Tao and other members of the Military Commission stood on the dock and watched a large number of Shanxi refugees pass by them. Gao Jianguo turned his head and smiled at Qiao Haipeng: "These two big guys are really good at loading, how can this boat pull 1,800 people." ”

Qiao Haipeng nodded and said, "It's almost autumn, the sea conditions are getting worse and worse, and our Admiralty has also accelerated the speed of transporting displaced people. The two boats now have reached the limit of the number of people from the mountains and Shaanxi, and each ship has simply crammed more than 1,500 people. Fortunately, we were well prepared, and there were no deaths of displaced people along the way. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "It is said that the Vladivostok shipyard will be able to speed up the construction of this kind of large sail carrier next year, and it is expected that more than fifteen ships will be launched every year, which greatly exceeds the previous judgment." As long as the Far East can equip 50 transport ships, the shipping capacity of our Far East will be turned upside down. ”

As soon as Qiao Haipeng heard Li Ming's words, he immediately became excited, and he said with a smile: "Yes, the Far East Admiralty is finally a little bit good, but our Admiralty will not have any major wars in the next few years." Your army is going to be busy next. ”

Gao Jianguo laughed and said, "Yes, this winter will be the final stage of preparation for the implementation of our plan to go north in the Far East. We will implement the northward expansion plan next spring, and after waiting for so many years, we will finally see the real chapter.

Next year, we will sweep through the steppes where the Mongolian tribes are located, such as the Alu Korqin Division, the Nen Korqin Division, the Daur Division, the Guaercha Division, the Uqiyat Division, the Karaqin Division, and the Inner Khalkha Division. Efforts should be made to thoroughly resolve all areas east of the Daxing'an Mountains and Yanshan Mountains next year.

Therefore, the company's winter training for Mongolian herdsmen this year is very crucial, which is related to the success or failure of the first phase of the military commission's northward expansion plan next year. Fortunately, after more than a year of training, the Mongolian Cavalry Corps and the Outer Northeast Cavalry Corps now have some appearance. In this anti-bandit operation, the performance is very good. At least when they encounter the cavalry of the Mongol tribes in the future, they will definitely have the upper hand.

We will vigorously fight for the poor herdsmen on the grasslands, and gradually solve the large grasslands west of the Daxing'an Mountains and north of the Yanshan Mountains in the next few years. We will strive to turn the vast area south of Lake Baikal and east of the Tien Shan Mountains into pastures in our Far East within five years. It's a good land, and we have to take it down and keep it for future generations. Once we have digested these areas, we will form more powerful cavalry corps and advance in a northwesterly direction. Let our Far Eastern iron horses cross the Kazakh steppes of Central Asia. Kill all the way to Moscow. ”

Gao Jianguo's words made everyone's blood boil, but Li Yukun frowned and said: "Isn't next year's plan a bit big, the area east of the Great Xing'an Mountains is not small." We currently have only 12 cavalry brigades, plus field divisions and a few overseas brigades that have been temporarily transferred, is our strength too thin? ”

Li Ming smiled and explained: "These are just our regular cavalry units, after the end of the winter training for Mongolian herdsmen this year, we will select some young people from among the herdsmen who are good and form a Mongolian herdsman cavalry brigade." Together with the main forces, our total strength will reach almost 100,000 people. The Mongolian herdsmen who have undergone the winter training of our military commission, coupled with the steel plate horse bows and steel feathered arrows equipped with our Far East, are in no way much worse than the tribal cavalry of the steppe. Lao Li, don't worry, it's just that if we launch such a large-scale campaign, will there be pressure on the materials of your logistics department. ”

Li Yukun shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the logistics department has been stockpiling wartime materials for the past two years, and the materials such as ammunition, food, horse harness, and bedding are extremely sufficient. Next spring, the logistics department will set up a series of temporary logistics supply points along the Liao River. We will do our best to ensure the supply of logistical materials for the troops participating in the battle. We will also organize logistics horse teams to follow the main force and provide supply support at any time. ”

Song Tao also smiled and said, "Then our special combat team will be this winter." Shouldn't we also go deep into the northern steppes to conduct reconnaissance and prepare for next year's operation? ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Song Tao, when you return to Shenyang, you will lead the special combat team to set off, and I will notify the Air Force Department and let the airship detachment provide support for the special combat team." You've got you busy this winter. ”

As he said this, he suddenly remembered something. So he turned to Li Ming and asked, "Has the airship detachment received a new airship this year?" ”

Li Ming thought for a moment and said: "The Ministry of the Air Force has just received six small Type 32 semi-rigid hydrogen floating airships recently, and with the addition of the original six, the number of airships in the eastern Liaoning region has reached twelve. At the large airship R&D center in www.biquge.info Town, Biquge has two newly developed four-engine medium-sized hydrogen test airships, which are undergoing test flights. It is said that the number of jù is extremely ideal. After the end of the test flight next spring, the air boat detachment of the Air Department can be equipped.

At that time, the Air Force Department's airship detachment will have two flagship medium- and large-sized airships with a maximum speed of 145 kilometers per hour in the windless state. Equipped with 4 drivers, it can carry 18 crew members or lift 3 tons of materials, and the maximum stay time is 25 days. It can provide strong support to the troops participating in the war. And next year, we can also transfer a few Type 32 airships from the south to reinforce the northbound plan. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Old Qiao, next year I will send a few overseas brigades to participate in the northward plan, which may weaken the defense forces of places such as Nanyang and Ceylon, India." You Admiralty should prepare in advance. Next year, all units participating in the plan to go north will increase their horseback riding training during this year's winter training period, and strive to come to the winter several times for long-distance horse-riding training to temper their ability to ride horses for long distances. Although field divisions and overseas brigades are not required to charge on horseback, don't drop the chain at a critical moment. ”

Song Tao thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lao Gao, will we also take action against North Korea next year?" ”

Gao Jianguo snorted and said, "Hmph...... For North Korea, do you still need a regular army? Let the mountain brigade lead a large number of indigenous militias in the outer northeast to directly cross the Yalu River and take Wencheng County and Qingyuan County. The company is not going to provide them with a lot of supplies, so they can fight in Korea. We will strive to resolve the entire territory of the DPRK within three years, so as to avoid being an eyesore in front of our eyes.

Next year, the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain in Japan will also take the initiative to provoke a war with the Tokugawa shogunate, old Qiao, when the time comes, your Admiralty will cooperate with the Ministry of Intelligence to keep abreast of the situation of the Japanese civil war, and the ultimate goal is to try to defeat Japan, and then we will clean up the mess.
