"What luck today!" When Zhang Shaobo saw the runway clearly entering his field of vision, he almost couldn't believe it and muttered to himself.

Being able to fly freely in the sky is a fairy thing, and Zhang Shaobo still has this idea even after joining the flying team. Now Zhang Shaobo naturally doesn't think so, he is flying in the air. There is no more excitement and no anxiety from before. Zhang Shaobo held his breath and concentrated, his attention highly concentrated.

Zhang Shaobo's luck is really good. The flight was able to find the airport. It's fun to put your feet on the earth and watch others fly in the sky. But people who fly in the sky never think so. The perception and understanding of speed on both sides is completely different. In the sky, a second is a distance of more than ten meters, and fast horses on the ground can't run at such a speed. Because of the height, it seems that the position of things in the distance has not changed much. In fact, when I descended, I found that I didn't know where to fly at all.

And that's not even the most dangerous thing. Landing is a ghost gate, and many comrades are all things that happened when they landed. When the attitude of the flight, the speed is not maintained well. During the landing, injuries can be minor or fatal. Zhang Shaobo himself broke his leg once when he landed. It was his luck, at least he saved his life.

Zhang Shaobo held the joystick firmly, and the glider descended towards the runway. In the earliest period of gliding, many comrades were unable to grasp the flight attitude and had problems with air speed and ground speed, but there were many casualties. The captain of the flight brigade has changed five times so far, with three dead and two wounded. As the captain of the sixth flying group, Zhang Shaobo is not just lucky, he does have quite good ability.

The Flying Brigade is made up of the most daring fighters in the BJP forces, at least those who are never afraid of heights in high places. The first 200 comrades started with hot air balloons, and later learned to operate the glider. Further on, the material and shape of the glider kept changing.

The Air Force requires a solid knowledge of culture, science and technology, and the instructors teach every day, and the comrades learn quite hard at the beginning. Many nouns and concepts that have never been heard of have been forcibly instilled and brainwashed, and some comrades have even developed abnormal mental states.

However, the elimination rate of the Air Force is very high, and this is eliminated by life and death, and those who only know how to read and those who don't know how to read have accidents. The rest are all sensitive and able to link theory with practice.

Getting closer and closer to the ground, Zhang Shaobo, who was in the plane, had a feeling of throwing himself to the ground. But he knew that this was an illusion, and after many trainings and reflections, Zhang Shaobo was able to find the familiar landing feeling from this feeling. Although the landing attitude of the plane was not good enough, Zhang Shaobo still did not hesitate. Pushing the joystick, the plane rushed towards the runway.

The violent vibration made Zhang Shaobo's body in the plane bounce violently. Luckily, he had a seat belt and his head didn't hit the window. Knowing that the bump slowly stopped, Zhang Shaobo let out a long breath. He survived again this time.

"Captain!" The ground crew had already swarmed up, and Zhang Shaobo made a gesture of his safety in accordance with the provisions of the flight manual. The ground crew then towed and pushed the glider to the hangar. Give way to the other pilot.

Both pilots landed safely, and the airport immediately burst into cheers. This is not for others to see, but for the comrades to cheer from the heart. It is almost the norm for large and small problems to occur, and it is a relatively rare situation like today when two planes take off and land safely on the runway.

"The Germans came in seven boats." As soon as he got out of the engine room, Zhang Shaobo immediately said, "Five warships, two transport ships......"

After recording the information, the comrades immediately asked how they felt about the new plane.

"This time it's not as good as the last one. Last time, the plane was so maneuverable, and this plane was improved a lot, but once the decision was made and the flight attitude was taken, it could not be changed. If you let a novice use this, you won't even have to run if something happens. Zhang Shaobo said in one breath.

"But we see that the flight attitude is very stable." The fighters did not quite agree with this.

"This plane has too high requirements for take-off conditions, I will make a report, the flight team is mainly training for the time being, and this way of taking off the plane is completely inappropriate." Zhang Shaobo almost completely denied continuing to fly. But no one would criticize this attitude, at least no one in the flying group.

Foreign troops stationed in China are more transparent about their military intelligence in order to deter as much as possible. After the information of the German warship was transmitted to Xuzhou, the fact that the German Pacific Fleet had poured out of the nest could be determined by comparing it with the information that had already been collected.

"Are the German devils preparing to land?" Wu Xingchen was a little surprised by this.

"Can the shelling of Lianyungang scare us?" Chen Ke asked rhetorically.

The comrades also felt that they could not understand what the Germans were trying to do. Germany had a naval fortress in Qingdao, and if all the troops stationed in Beijing were counted, the total number of combat units of the German Navy and Marines would not exceed 4,000. In Shandong, the Germans also had a certain number of servant troops. But the number of these people is no more than 1,000. Just like that, there are 5,000 people, and they dare to do something against the base area? As soon as they casually go deep into the base area, they will close the door and beat the dogs.

Chen Ke originally thought that this was very likely to be the case, but he felt that he was taking it for granted, "Comrades, if the Germans build a fortress in Lianyungang under the cover of naval guns, how do you think the whole situation will change?" ”

"If they build a fortress, will they rely entirely on supplies from the sea?" Although Pang Zi doesn't know much about the navy, there are only a few modes of fighting after he goes on land.

"If there are only 300 people stationed in the fortress, a single supply can keep the fortress up for months. Replenishment at sea is not unusual. Yan replied. As the principal of the Beiyang Naval Academy, he is very clear about naval warfare.

Seeing that none of the comrades objected to Yan Fu's words, Chen Kelang said: "As long as the German devils take root here today, tomorrow the British will dare to build other fortresses on the Yangtze River." The great powers have a principle of unanimity among the great powers against China. What the Germans get, the other powers will get. ”

"Let the Germans die!" Pang Zi immediately shouted.

"Chairman Chen, the Germans are thinking of using naval artillery to cover their landing force. Let me lead the troops this time, and I will definitely not let them build a brick and a tile in our Lianyungang. I'm personally on the front line to command! Wu Xingchen said loudly.

"We immediately organized local transport teams to prepare for war." Shang Yuan also said angrily.

Both military and political cadres and civilian cadres have asked or asked to be responsible for the logistics and support work of this war. Chen Ke was very happy about this, but he was a little regretful, his comrades were more than enthusiastic, but they were obviously stunned by the actions of the Germans. This battle must be fought, but it is not such a battle. If it was just a defensive battle, even if the Germans had naval artillery cover, and under this kind of large-caliber artillery, any earth tank, any earth excavation would be too resistant. But Chen Ke felt that it was really not possible to use chlorine. Approaching with a single soldier and directly attacking the enemy with chlorine grenades can also be very effective.

However, this is all a battle arrangement, and from a campaign point of view, or even from a political point of view, it is not advisable to think about how to fight the enemy in a hot head.

"Comrades, don't be in a hurry, this time the matter is not big or small. I hope that comrades will consider this matter strategically. I already have my own ideas, and I now ask the comrades to discuss the response to the German forces, mind you, to the German forces in China. You can ask me questions, and I'll answer your questions, but I'm not going to lead the discussion. Chen Ke said. Under the old system, it was very difficult to really have one heart and one mind, because the hierarchy under the old system made the discussants unequal. The people below tried their best, bloodied and sweated, and as a result, the benefits were first obtained by the superiors. Then the boss will "reward" according to his personal circle and interests. This was the norm in the old days.

The BJP does not have this problem at this stage. There is only a difference in the division of labor within the party, but there is no difference in status. Nor is the authority far from being tied to personal interests. The People's Party as a whole is in a vigorous and thriving situation.

The comrades knew that the Germans would definitely have a conflict with the base area, and they were quite nervous, but they didn't expect Chen Ke to come out like this. Pang Zi said anxiously: "Chairman Chen, when is this time, you still give us questions." Wherever you point, we'll hit. Why beat around the bush! If there's anything you want to say, just say it. ”

Chen Ke nodded, "Very good, I'll say now, if I suddenly have a sudden attack of illness now, I will die." How to fight this battle and how to deal with this situation. If I die, you have to give me a top, and the revolution must not stop because there is no one missing! This is absolutely not a no-go. ”

If it weren't for an organization like the People's Party, Chen Ke's words would have caused misunderstanding.

Shang Yuan saw that Chen Ke's attitude was very serious, and he immediately asked to speak. "Then the comrades were divided into two parts, one for regular combat readiness, the other for strategic discussions. Let's see how it goes. ”

As the secretary of the provincial party committee of Huaihai Province, Shang Yuan's prestige is still there. As soon as he said this, the comrades immediately agreed.

"My mind can't calm down, and now it's a blind discussion to participate in the discussion. I went to prepare for regular combat readiness. Pang Zi immediately said. This kind of burning and boring personality is also Pang Zi's true temperament, let him go into battle to kill the enemy, or engage in specific work, Pang Zi has never been willing to be left behind. But when it comes to planning, Pang Zi really can't stand this temperament. And Pang Zi really wanted to fight the Germans. When suppressing Uncle Jing Tingbin's uprising, the foreign devils made great efforts, and today they can fight the foreign devils, and Pang Zi is high-spirited.

Before going out, Pang Zi suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Chairman Chen, comrades. Fight with foreign devils with real knives and guns, the most dangerous task must be handed over to me, I Pang Zi and foreign devils will fight to the end. ”

After speaking, Pang Zi saluted, and then strode out.

More than half of the cadres went to do routine combat readiness work, and the remaining comrades sat around the big table and began to discuss.

"Chairman Chen, can you give us a rough idea?" Wu Xingchen asked.

Chen Ke immediately denied Wu Xingchen's request, "No, if you draw it, let everyone discuss something." Of course, if the final result of the discussion is different from mine, then I will correct it. So let's get started now. ”

Seeing that Chen Ke's attitude was so firm, everyone stopped talking nonsense in this regard. The strategy discussion then began.

Yan Fu did not interject, as the most senior in the navy, Yan Fu regretted that there was no way to fight the enemy with a warship. However, Yan Fu felt a little lucky, because the young people who were with him did not have the slightest fear because of the lack of navy. Some of them frowned, but not because they were afraid of the German warships, but because they were seriously considering how to completely overwhelm the enemy strategically.

Yan Fu has always regarded these young people as his juniors, as his disciples to some extent. But they listened to them seriously discuss how to hold Lianyungang, a Chinese territory, and discuss what powerful weapons and well-trained troops they would face the enemy. Yan Fu suddenly had a feeling that he had never felt before, the young people in front of him were not only Yan Fu's juniors, but also Yan Fu's comrades-in-arms when facing foreign enemies.

This sudden emotion made Yan Fu's eyes a little moist at some point, the battle between the People's Party and the new army and Beiyang, it was difficult for Yan Fu to integrate into it, there was no way to do it. Yan Fu doesn't like civil war at all, foreigners are pressing forward step by step, but China is in full swing of its own internal fighting, what is this? Therefore, Chen Ke insisted on seeking a compromise with Beiyang because he did not want a civil war as a strategic consideration, and Yan Fu resolutely supported it and was quite gratified.

However, Yan Fu is even more resolute in his support for the People's Party's firm attitude to fight foreign devils.

"If you want to deal with the Germans, you must restrain their fleet. If that doesn't work, let's use mines. Or use frogman diving equipment to plant bombs on the bottom of German ships. Wu Xingchen said.

Hearing the knowledge of the navy, Yan Fu's thoughts were immediately pulled back to reality, "If you want to do this, you must first determine the location of the enemy, if you want to do this, you must first determine the location of the enemy, if you want to do this, you are carrying a bomb that can blow through the hull armor, and this bomb is large enough." If it is large enough, it will travel very slowly underwater and cannot keep up with the speed of the enemy's ship. Moreover, warships are all damaged, and even if you blow up a hole, the impact will be limited. ”

"What about the equipment?" Wu Xingchen then asked.

"The Naval Academy is also designing submarines, but you're in the sea, and in order to get oxygen, you have to build a snorkel. In order not to be covered by the waves, this snorkel has to stretch out at a relatively high height, and such a tube is suddenly exposed in the vast sea, which is very eye-catching. Yan Fu still gave a negative answer.

Although Shang Yuan didn't know much about military affairs, he found that these discussions were obviously still confined to the defense of the homeland, and even the details of operations. This is completely different from the strategic considerations that Chen Ke said. He pondered for a while and asked Chen Ke: "Chairman Chen, if we start a full-scale war with the German military in China, what will be the attitude of other foreign countries?" ”

Everyone looked at Chen Ke, but saw an approving expression on Chen Ke's face, "If we completely defeat the Germans, and prove the military strength of our People's Party in this kind of war." Then the great powers will not do anything to us until they are ready to defend the bottom line of their interests. Stealing chickens is not a matter of eating a handful of rice, and the great powers will not do it. ”

Shang Yuan's lips tightened, his thoughts were so intense, even if he tightened his lips, the corners of Shang Yuan's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly. After calming his breath a little, Shang Yuan said loudly: "What if we want to completely knock out Germany's military power from China this time?" ”

Although a few comrades had similar thoughts, when they really heard this, a shuddering feeling made them shiver.

"Chairman Chen, this is an all-out war with Germany." Wu Xingchen's face was a mixture of anticipation and worry.

"Knocking out German military power out of China is not the same thing as starting an all-out war with Germany. We don't have the ability to attack the German mainland, so how can we start the war? Chen Ke replied.

"So how do you fight this?" Chen Tianhua knew that Chen Ke had long been determined to go to war with Germany, or to fight against foreign military forces invading China. So he didn't participate in the discussion at the beginning, and at this time the scope of the operation had been determined, and Chen Tianhua immediately asked.

"I hope that everyone will discuss this matter and make full use of the knowledge they have learned to judge the current situation and analyze the interests of all parties and its characteristics. In other words, we should not only build an understanding of China, but also have a view of the world. I have never advocated closing the country to the outside world, I have advocated integrating into the world. Our People's Party has gained a lot through foreign trade. So we have to get in touch with the world and understand the world. Have a realistic view of the world. The discussion continued. ”

"Then let me ask a question!" Wu Xingchen immediately asked, "What are the interests of various countries in China?" ”

This question was indeed a good question, and Chen Ke demanded that Britain completely open the Chinese market, and Germany hoped to expand Germany's power by competing for colonies and markets. The French followed Britain everywhere to take advantage of the opportunity, and Russia hoped to establish a "yellow Russia" in the northeast, and the United States, as a rising star, went all out to promote the policy of "equalizing the benefits of gateway development".

After Chen Ke finished speaking, Wu Xingchen frowned and said, "This sounds like the European and American powers are all the same. ”

After all, Chen Tianhua and Chen Ke had discussed this, and he had already figured out one thing, "Comrades, it doesn't matter too much whether the enemy is the same as a raccoon dog. What matters is the extent to which we can defend China's interests. And what price are we willing to pay, and to what extent we want to go on the war. Will you only fight the Germans, or will you simply drive all the foreign devils out of China? Are we going to interrupt all trade with foreign devils, or are we going to find a temporary equilibrium. That's strategic planning. ”

"Then this is the work of the central government...... Wu Xingchen couldn't help but say, as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Chen Ke was already in Huaihai Province, and in fact, the current central government basically had an office left, and the office left by the central government was responsible for reporting to Chen Ke, and conveying Chen Ke's instructions and the excellent methods discussed in other provinces to the entire base area.

None of them had the ability to formulate such an overall strategy, and Shang Yuan reluctantly summed up a few basic points, and then said to Chen Ke: "Chairman Chen, comrades need you to explain these basic points now. ”

By listening to the discussion of the comrades, Chen Ke has determined that everyone is now at such a level. Shang Yuan was able to come up with a few basic points, which is already a very good method. Chen Ke did not delay any longer, and he analyzed and straightened out the situation in response to these points. And organize it into a whole strategic vision.

Yan Fu could understand Chen Ke's idea very well, but he quickly lost his mind again. He had always felt that the People's Party was different from other forces, and different from the political forces that Yan Fu himself had envisioned would save China. The other forces are all subordinates who are unconditionally responsible to their superiors, but the superiors will never teach their subordinates to do things. They don't try to make their subordinates learn more. Even a teacher in his age would not have done this.

Chen Kefang only said sincerely, "If I die, you have to give me a top." This is the system of the People's Party, and it has been repeatedly emphasized in the army that at critical moments, the commander must personally lead the team. There is only "follow me" and there is no such thing as "give me up". It is precisely because of Chen Ke's attitude that the young comrades feel that this people's revolution is their own cause and their own revolution, because if the comrades in front fall, the comrades behind will immediately follow. It's such a group of young people who would have been considered crazy in the old days, but they have created the achievements in front of them.

"Do I have such an attitude?" Yan Fu thought suddenly. After thinking for a while, Yan Fu had already determined that he really didn't have it now.
