Chapter 500: The War Plan

The affairs of the navy are decided, just wait for the navy to release the warship from the system, and then it will be the matter of the city army. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Wei asked: "What do you think about the war in Russia?" ”

Li Zhaoshui was happy in his heart, and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the performance of the warships configured this time is very outstanding, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret, such as radar, etc., will give Britain, France, Germany and other countries a lot of inspiration, and I believe that it will be studied soon, so my point of view is to fight a quick battle, this time we will launch a full-scale war, completely occupy Africa and Asia, and drive the whites back to Europe." ”

Gan Pinghai said: "Your Majesty, if we take advantage of this war, we will break through the treaty signed with Britain, France and Germany, reorganize the Atlantic Fleet into the North Atlantic Fleet, and relocate the headquarters of my Pacific Fleet to Argentina to form the South Atlantic Fleet." ”

Their remarks were supported by the other two people in the navy, and Zhang Wei was also very moved.

Zhang Wei raised his voice and said: "Let's talk about the war against Russia first, don't divert the topic. ”

Sun Qingyang, chief of staff of the Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, asked: "Your Majesty, what is the scale of this war?" ”

Zhang Wei said: "Either you don't fight, or if you do, you will occupy all the territory of the Russian Empire in Asia." ”

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, you can first state your opinion, and we will supplement it according to your opinion, which will be more in line with your intentions." “

"Okay, then let me talk about my plan, first of all, after the war, the Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region will be abolished, and the Central Asia Special Region will be established, and Sun Qingyang will serve as the chief of the general staff of the Central Asian Theater."

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no disgrace in the mission!" Sun Qingyang immediately replied happily, finally no longer have to nest in the aggrieved place of the West Asian Special Zone.

"Don't rejoice too early, the Central Asian theater of operations bears more than half of the military pressure of the Russian Empire, the pressure is great, the task is heavy, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wei continued: "At the beginning of the war, I will put down two armies in Irkutsk, Novosibirsk and Yekaterina, respectively, to be responsible for the defense to the west and east, and to cut the Russian army in Asia into several pieces, so that the first place cannot be taken into account; In addition, the city of Aktobe along the Ural River and Baku in the eastern part of the Caucasus Mountains were placed with one army each to organize defense on the spot. These things are for me to do, and for you to do them, we are: launch a total offensive against the Russian Empire in the Northern Theater and occupy the area east of Lake Baikal; The South Asian Theater occupied and controlled the Mashhad Pass, and sent an army into Central Asia, which was dispatched by the Central Asian region; The Qin army occupied all of Iran and all the territory south of the Caucasus Mountains, all the way to the Tieshan Pass; Sun Qingyang of the Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region was responsible for entering Central Asia and commanding all armies and campaigns from west of Irkutsk, east of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River; What do you think? ”

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, the general idea is very good, divide the army of the Russian Empire into several sections, and the battle east of the Ural Mountains will end soon; The focus of the campaign should be on the Ural River and the Caucasus Mountains, where His Majesty's forces were obviously too small; In addition, His Majesty did not take into account the British garrison in India in South Asia and the pressure faced by the Qin State and the Special Administrative Region of North Africa. ”

Zhang Wei said: "The Ural River and the Baku region are only defenses, is one army good enough? In addition, it was in consideration of the British garrison in India that the South Asian theater of operations was not allowed to participate in the war on a large scale; As for the North African Special Administrative Region and the Qin State, I mean to show weakness to the enemy, if Britain and France and other countries launch an attack on these two places, then I will support them at any time, anyway, I am not far away, and I will be able to support them soon. “

Lu Weimin continued: "Your Majesty, the total number of troops invested is too small, and it is too scattered, you have invested 8 armies, plus 2 armies in the Western Xinjiang Special Region and 1 army in the South Asia Special Zone, a total of 11 armies, which is about 700,000; The army of the Northern Theater of Operations would be good if it could defeat the Russian army east of Lake Baikal; And Russia has more than one million troops stationed in the entire Asian region, and they can support it at any time, so the task of blocking it is very arduous, and the number of troops arranged by His Majesty is far from enough. ”

"What does the Chief of the General Staff think?" Zhang Wei asked.

Lu Weimin thought about it for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I mean to divide the war into two steps, the first step is to divide the Eastern Front and the Southern Front, the Eastern Front Battlefield Your Majesty first deployed two armies in Irkutsk, and launched a fierce offensive in the Northern Theater to jointly destroy the Russian army east of Lake Baikal and attract reinforcements from the Russian Empire in the direction of the Siberian Plain; On the southern front, the South Asian Theater sent one army, and the Qin State sent two armies, as well as all the mercenaries and one cavalry army, to occupy the whole of Iran and the Tieshan Pass and Mashhad Pass with the support of His Majesty; The Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region advanced from the Ili River Valley to the Syr Darya Valley; The strategic goal of the first step was to occupy key checkpoints, concentrate troops, and attract the Russian Empire to the front; In the second step, His Majesty will highlight the surprise troops, seize Catherine, control the Ural Mountains and the Ural River Valley, concentrate superior forces, and destroy the Russian officers and soldiers in the encirclement, then they will be powerless. ”

"Is this any different from my plan?" Zhang Wei asked.

Lu Weimin continued: "Your Majesty, by dividing the war into two steps, it is easier for the empire to grasp the initiative, and the pressure of the two wars is not great, each time it is to concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy in the encirclement, and it is better to cut off one of its fingers, and at the same time to attract as many Russian troops as possible to reinforce them, and to encircle and destroy them again, and see the reaction of Britain, France, Germany and other countries; In this way, the empire can attack and retreat, as long as these key checkpoints are occupied, the future war will be very beneficial to the empire. ”

"What's your opinion?" Zhang Wei asked.

Several others felt that Lu Weimin's step-by-step attack strategy was better.

"Okay, just follow your plan, and the General Staff will make a detailed war plan in a moment; In addition, what about the arrangements on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea coast, and the two special zones in Africa? Zhang Wei asked again.

Lu Weimin said: "I don't like the way of fighting on multiple fronts at the same time, the African strategy should also be divided into two steps, and the existing armies in the East and North African SARs are enough to defend; If Britain and France increase their troops to Africa, the empire will also increase its troops to Africa, and the speed of their increase is not as fast as that of the empire; After the purpose of the war in Asia has been achieved, the second step of the plan will be implemented in Africa, and then the Asian defense line will implement a defensive strategy. “

"Everybody supports this strategy?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The crowd replied. The queen and Zhao Meiling nodded at Zhang Wei, and the two of them also agreed with Lu Weimin's strategy.

"Okay, just follow this plan, and the General Staff will draw up a detailed war plan." Zhang Wei asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"What do the Foreign Ministry and intelligence have to add to this plan?" Zhang Wei asked.
