Chapter 1603 is foolproof
"If Siam dares to make a move, I don't mind taking the opportunity to double the territory of our South China!"
An Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he said unhurriedly: "Siam is located in the center of the South Seas, is the natural gateway connecting our South China, Myanmar and southern China, most of the country's borders are gentle plains, mountains and plateaus, with an arable area of about 340 million mu, accounting for 41 percent of its land area, and is the world's main grain producing area.

"Siam is rich in mineral resources, such as potash, tin, lignite, oil shale, natural gas, zinc, lead, tungsten, iron, antimony, chromium, barite, precious stones and oil. Among them, potash can be used to produce potash fertilizer, potash fertilizer is one of the three major fertilizers in agriculture, and has a significant yield increase effect on most crops.
"From the moment we chose to go south, it was destined that there could only be one country in the Indochina Peninsula, and that was South China. Previously, in order to avoid provoking the Great Powers, and at the same time to completely digest the occupied territories first, we did not overreact to Siam's provocations in the border areas.
"Now we have not only managed to gain a foothold in South China, but we also have a strong navy! If the Siamese army doesn't come, it's enough, and once it comes, it will be completely finished! I never thought that the Siamese who practiced Buddhism posed any threat to us, not before, and not in the future! Therefore, I have decided to have An Jin, commander of the special operations of the General Staff Headquarters, organize into a new operational cluster, which will assemble in southern Yunnan within half a month at the latest. In the event of war with Siam, the ministry quickly passed through the Siamese border area and entered Chiang Rai province in northern Siam. If we don't fight, we will demand that it be completely bulldozed within one to two months!
"I don't want Siam's poor industrial base, I want its agriculture! We will do whatever it takes, fight to the death, and we will not be afraid to be in ruins, and it is better to include Siam in our territory before the great powers react! β
An Yi's words made everyone present feel bloody. Today's international trend is precisely annexation and counter-annexation, annexation, Germany's annexation of Austria and Czech Slovak, which has played a very bad start, and many countries have set their vigilant eyes on their neighbors, coveting or defensive, and full of distrust. And Nanhua will definitely not be annexed, for this, every general of the Anjia Army is convinced.
When Gu Changfeng heard An Yi's words, he suddenly became interested: "Boss, do you really want to fight?" If it is really a fight, I have an idea to keep the Siamese people on the bait! β
"Oh!?"
An Yi asked with interest: "Tiger Head, what are your good ideas, let's hear it!" β
"The reason why the Siamese have been hesitant to take action, even a series of coercive measures against the Chinese in their country, is that they are afraid of the troops we have deployed in the border areas between the two countries. Now, thanks to the electrification of the Far Eastern Republics, the Japanese army is driving straight into Siberia, which is almost a sure thing. We can pretend that the northern forces are tight and we have to draw rescue from South China. When the time comes, we will organize some reporters to take some pictures of our journey north, and then spread them in the newspapers. When the news reached Siam, those militarists would surely have been ecstatic.
"Siam has wanted to expand its territory for a long time, and the French have been cheering them on behind their backs, and Japan has no good intentions, boasting that Siam is the largest country in Southeast Asia, and the self-confidence of the Siamese people is highly inflated! If we give them a chance, they will definitely take a risk! β
An Yi's expression moved, and he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
The generals didn't dare to disturb An Yi's train of thought, held their breath, and after a while, An Yi stopped and asked Yang Fei: "Chief of Staff, what do you think?" β
Yang Fei hesitated a little: "Now that the north is tight, if we open the southern battlefield again, is it too risky?" I know that even with the current military strength, it is more than enough to eat Siam, but what do the British, French, and American countries think, will it affect the international situation that we have so hard to improve? As far as I know, the British have coveted Siam for a long time, and Siam is a British colony in both north and south. It is not necessary to say that the few large arms trade orders that have just been signed have been lost! β
An Yi pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked, "What else do you think about this?" β
Shen Ziling, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department, said in a deep voice: "If we stand on the moral high ground of anti-aggression and anti-oppression, I don't think it will trigger a backlash from the great powers!" Now Japan is expanding frantically, if Japan really enters Siberia, then the Far East, Korea, Taiwan, Lanyin Islands, Northeast China, North China and other lands it occupies are enough to make it a superpower! Siam and Japan have been eyebrows, and they have repeatedly rebelled against Britain and France, but in fact, in the minds of the great powers, it is already a thorn in the head!
"Think about it, if you are the leaders of Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, are you willing to tie Siam to Japan's chariot, or will we occupy South China and set up an opponent for Japan? As long as we fight fast and hard, and take Siam before the great powers can analyze the gains and losses of interests, the international community will definitely recognize us! After all, we have involved too many troops in the north, which is almost known to the world, and without the powerful naval power of Japan, we are not a big threat to the great powers, but for Japan, it is tantamount to a piece of fat! If two tigers fight, one will be injured, and the great powers will definitely fan the flames in the middle in order to seek their own safety! β
Shen Ziling's words were recognized by most people, and even Yang Fei nodded again and again.
An Yi finally made up his mind: "Then let's do it according to the tiger's will, it's best to make the withdrawal of troops a little bigger, so that the whole world knows that we are short of troops." Didn't the Second Artillery Corps expand with two more missile brigades? I intend to deploy these two missile brigades to the mountainous southwestern coast of Tien Nam Province, which directly threatens the security of Bangkok, the capital of Siam. If war breaks out, in addition to destroying Siam's air force airfield, the political and economic centers and military points in its coastal areas will also be attacked! We may even send out paratroopers and decapitate their heads! In short, once Siam goes to war, it will become a war of annihilation! Siam has no luck! β
Seeing that An Yi had made up his mind, the generals no longer dwelled on this issue, and Yang Fei changed the topic: "How should we deal with the Japanese offensive in Eastern Siberia now?" β
"How to make a plan before, how to implement it now!"
An Yi waved his hand: "Didn't we already plan for the worst?" The railway between Mongolia and Siberia was completely demolished half a month ago, and the defense fortifications are being built, and all ministries are on full alert...... By the way, pass on my order, from now on, the Northeast Military Region and the Mongolian Military Region will be formally abolished, and the Northern Military Region will be directly formed, and the armies that are now fighting in the Central Asian region will be formally established as the Central Asian Military Region. β
An Yi's thoughts were like a wild imagination, and he thought of where to say: "In Central Asia, the pace of combat should be accelerated, in my estimation, Kulik is under great pressure now, and Moscow urgently needs him to free up his hands and support the Siberian battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise the benefits will be taken up by the Japanese, which is not allowed by the strong character of Stalin." Therefore, if we evacuate the Tashkent area at this time, Kulik will definitely chase all the way, and Ye Cheng's opportunity will come! β
Deng Bin frowned: "But-what if Kulik doesn't take the bait?" According to the plan, the Eighth Army would gradually abandon its defensive positions and then engage in street fighting in Tashkent for at least two weeks before finally choosing to withdraw. Will the loss of positions and cities now make Kulik have bad associations, and then make our previous efforts go to waste? β
Before An Yi could answer, Zhao Dongquan had already explained for An Yi with a smile:
"It should be fine. We have taken great strides to evacuate Tashkent, if it had been before, Kulik would have been alert, but today such a big thing has happened, Kulik will only think that we are affected by the changes in the Far East and have no fighting spirit, so we will have this defeat! Kulik is very talented, he looks down on us from the bottom of his bones, and always thinks that we are vassals or servant troops of the Far Eastern Army, and if there is a problem in the Far Eastern Army, it is not normal if we are not affected at all. Therefore, it is quite feasible to speed up the course of the fighting in Tashkent! β
Yang Fei bowed slightly: "The current war situation is confusing, and it is impossible for the top level of the Soviet army not to see that there are major flaws in our strategic layout, that is, in the vast northern region of Kazakhstan bordering Siberia, we have no army to defend at all." According to the thinking of ordinary people, we have such a great grudge with the Japanese that it is absolutely impossible for us to be indifferent to the westward advance of the Japanese army, and it is extremely normal to mobilize troops to fill the gaps. β
After the generals peeled back the layers of analysis, the seemingly extremely complicated battle situation became extremely clear, and soon the opinions of the Supreme Command were sent to Central Asia, and the generals such as Hu Jialin, Ye Cheng, and Li Jinlong took matters into their own hands. With the ability of the three people, they can naturally make the most appropriate arrangements, and if the headquarters is unrealistic and overstepping, it will not be beautiful.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of 20 July, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the South China Government held a press conference to express regret over the Soviet Union's conspiracy and assassination during the war, and in connection with the assassination of Trotsky in the Japanese port of Tokyo last year, he said that the Soviet Union had opened Pandora's box, and that in the future, such terrorist acts would inevitably have an extremely bad impact on the whole world and that people's normal life and study order would be disrupted. The South China government called on all countries in the world who uphold justice and justice to launch a crusade against the actions of the Soviet Union!
Nanhua's statement did not elicit a response from the powers. After all, it is the most normal means to attack the enemy by all means in war, and many countries think that Nanhua is very stupid and naΓ―ve, and they despise it in their hearts. The countries of Europe and the United States are quietly watching, waiting for the outcome of the civil war in the Soviet Union, and looking at the Soviet Union, the Far East, Japan and South China, who will have the last laugh.
......
Tashkent at night.
In the underground headquarters of the main position in the north of the city, Gao Yunlin, the commander of the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division, received the order to retreat and breathed a long sigh of relief. The 23rd Division fought fiercely with the Soviet army here for four days and nights, and the whole division was reduced by two-thirds.
According to the predetermined battle plan, it was necessary to fight for at least a week outside the city and two weeks inside Tashkent, relying on stubborn fighting to continue to confuse the enemy and create the illusion that the main force was in Tashkent. Therefore, in line with the idea of long-term combat, Sun Desheng did not dare to pull up the reserves, and could only rely on the front-line commanders to figure out their own ways. Fortunately, now there is no need to rely on this life-fighting style to involve the enemy, and the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division has been given the opportunity to go to Samarkand to reorganize and replenish, and with the return of wounded soldiers and the replenishment of new recruits, it will not be long before it can recover its combat strength.
The soldiers planted a large number of mines on the position, glanced nostalgically at the dark position opposite, and then retreated to the rear through the communication trenches.
In the early hours of the morning, the Soviet troops did not encounter resistance from the Anjia Army in their routine offensive, but when they broke through the position, they were killed and wounded by the mines they planted. Seeing this, the Soviet front commander was overjoyed and immediately commanded the troops to march to the Tashkent position.
After a day and night of "demining operations", positions up to three kilometers thick were penetrated, and then the Soviets continued to pass through the gaps and rushed into the deserted city of Tashkent.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of 21 July, Kulik held a news conference at the Tashkent railway station, announcing that the main force of the Central Asian Red Army had recaptured Tashkent, that the South Chinese Army was affected by the chaos in the Far East, that it would lose its fighting spirit, and that defeat would be a matter of time. The Central Asian Red Army was confident that within one to two weeks, it would destroy the main forces of the South China Army and move north as soon as possible to attack the flank of the Far Eastern Army.
