In mid-March, when the temperature in Canada rose, Chief of General Staff Chen Yifeng called and claimed that the army was ready, and the weather and environment were ready for war, and requested that war be declared on Canada.

Zhang Wei approved the request for war, but this time Zhang Wei will not go to Canada to help them, and will rely on his real skills to fight against the Canadian army, and in order to solve the battle quickly, the Kingdom of Lu will send 100,000 troops to participate in the operation.

The battle plan drawn up by Lu Weimin of the General Staff Headquarters was led by Chen Yifeng and two armies to launch attacks along the railway line from west to east.

Lu Guo's troops attacked from south to north in three ways: the Eastern Theater dispatched 1 division of the Praetorian Guard, 1 cavalry division and 1 brigade of Japanese mercenaries, totaling 40,000 people, to occupy the northern city of Sudbury, Ontario, threatening the security of the capital Ottawa and Toronto, the capital of Ontario; The Eastern Theater simultaneously dispatched one division of the Defense Force to occupy Thunder Bay, Ontario, and cut off the railroad for the eastward retreat of the two western provinces; The Northeast Theater of Lu dispatched 1 division of the Praetorian Guard, 1 division of the National Defense Army, 1 cavalry division and 1 brigade of mercenaries, a total of 52,000 people, under the command of the division commander of the Praetorian Guard, to seize the fortress of Detroit, and occupy the town of London, and threaten the city of Hamilton and the provincial capital of Toronto.

Although Yi Feng was very dissatisfied with Lu Guo sending troops to participate in this operation, he knew the importance of the matter, and no matter how unhappy he was, he had to accept the battle plan formulated by the Imperial General Staff.

Zhang Wei's goal is to occupy the entire Dominion of Canada, drive millions of Canadians to the United States or the Dominion of Newfoundland, that is, the island of Newfoundland, and make them lose their foothold on the mainland.

Zheng Qiang knew that Chen Yifeng wanted an independent war to prove his ability, but the strategic depth of Canada's east-west strategy was too long, if it was fought from the west to the east, the Canadians in the east would have been prepared for a long time, and if they wanted to occupy the whole of Canada, the empire would pay a greater price, and the empire arranged for Lu to send troops to participate in the war, launch attacks from many places at the same time, cut Canada into several sections from the east and west, and threaten the security of Toronto, Ottawa and the elite areas of southeastern Canada with superior forces, the purpose of this can ensure the rapid advance of the troopsto reduce losses.

So Zheng Qiang comforted Chen Yifeng and said: "The empire has its own imperial purpose in this way, otherwise with the strength of our two armies, we will occupy such a large territory as Canada, and it is not enough to maintain law and order; Another advantage of this arrangement was that the chief of staff could quickly advance eastward, as long as he occupied the two western provinces, starting from Winnipeg, he could take the train directly to Sudbury and participate in the war to occupy Ottawa. ”

Chen Yifeng said with a smile: "Premier Zheng, you still don't know those guys in Lu State, all of them are people who don't want to die for their military achievements, I dare to say that Li Qingfa, chief of staff of the Eastern Theater of Operations, and Su Linxu, chief of staff of the Northeast Theater, will definitely go to the front line, even Feng Guohua, chief of the general staff, will not be lonely, how can they give us such great feats as the occupation of Toronto and Ottawa?" ”

Zheng Qiang smiled awkwardly: "The chief of the general staff just leads the troops to rush forward, and the logistics and maintenance of local law and order are left to me, I have already organized the police of the two provinces, in addition to leaving the necessary people to maintain local law and order, a total of 30,000 police officers follow your large army to take over the local government, the railway station and maintain local law and order." ”

Chen Yifeng said helplessly: "It seems that we can only do this, first take down the two western provinces, no matter how small the fly is, it is meat." Also, has Premier Cheng prepared a draft declaration of war against Canada? Wait for the morning of the 20th to announce the declaration of war on Canada. ”

"It has been prepared for a long time, and His Majesty has reviewed it." Zheng Qiang replied.

Feng Guohua, chief of the general staff of Lu Guo, felt that Lu Weimin's battle plan was very perfect, first occupying Ontario and the northwest region with superior forces, occupying railway lines and cities along the railway, and then waiting for the troops to gradually build, gradually driving the Canadians eastward, occupying Ottawa, Montreal City, and Quebec one after another, and finally driving them all to Newfoundland, and then occupying Newfoundland after the navy arrived.

In order to ensure that reinforcements could be made to the front line at any time, Feng Guohua transferred the 8th and 8th Cavalry Divisions of the Praetorian Guard, as well as several brigades of Japanese mercenaries, to Indianapolis City. 【】

At the same time, he said to Premier Song Shijie: "Premier Song, I hope you can deploy enough train wagons to transport ammunition, food and other supplies to the front line. ”

Song Shijie said with a smile: "Fighting such a weak brigade in Canada, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of troops are still on standby, are you so nervous?" ”

Feng Guohua explained: "It is because Canada is too weak that I am nervous, and I am worried that Britain and France will suddenly join the war group, and the scale of the war will be large, and the existing weapons and ammunition will definitely not meet the needs." ”

Song Shijie said: "Even if Britain wants to enter the war, it will not be so fast, it will have to mobilize for war, it will cross the Atlantic, and when they come, we will already defeat Canada on our side." “

Feng Guohua said: "Don't think about it so much now, anyway, the Southern Theater is going to start a war, and it also needs a large amount of ammunition baggage, so reserve some more to be prepared, or send a telegram to the Imperial General Staff first, and transport a batch of ammunition as soon as possible." “

Song Shijie said: "This is not bad, and it can't be wasted." “

Feng Guohua said: "I'm going to Indianapolis to sit down, and the affairs of Zhongjing will be all handed over to you." “

"I think you are still in Zhongjing, how good it would be for Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing of the Southern Theater to go to Polis instead of you, anyway, he is idle now." Song Shijie suggested.

Feng Guohua felt very unhappy when he heard Song Shijie say this, and after glaring at him, he said: "No, although the Southern Theater is managed by the General Staff of Lu State, it will still be a child of others in the future, I think it is better to send Lieutenant General Shi Yide of the Central Theater to go, he is familiar with these troops." ”

Shi Yide immediately stood up and saluted Feng Guohua: "Thank you, Chief of Staff, I will definitely live up to my mission, I must successfully take Toronto and Ottawa, as well as Montreal and Quebec along the St. Lawrence River, and drive all Canadians into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

Lieutenant General Shi Yide is chief of staff of the Central Theater and Feng Guohua's deputy.

Song Shijie asked suspiciously: "Chief of General Staff, didn't the telegram order you just coerce Toronto and Ottawa?" After Chen Yifeng's army arrives, he will occupy Ottawa, Quebec and other places one by one? ”

Lieutenant General Shi Yide said with a smile: "Haha, Premier Song, you are still too simple, if we wait for General Chen Yifeng to arrive, we won't even be able to drink soup, that guy has been in the United States for more than 2 years, and he hasn't made many war exploits, so it is estimated that he would have suffocated him a long time ago; Anyway, Canada has a total army of no more than 150,000 people, and it has to be stationed in various places, and the troops are scattered, which is not enough for us to plug the teeth of the Lu country, how can we let it be given to General Chen? And, Chief of the General Staff, is it necessary to send destroyers and torpedo boats from the Great Lakes to the war? ”

"Don't mobilize the navy first, otherwise it's easy to startle the snake, and then talk about it after taking the Detroit fortress." Feng Guohua ordered.

Shi Yide said disappreliantly: "Chief of General Staff, Su Linxu's guy will definitely use an airship to attack the fortress, as long as a few incendiary bombs are thrown overhead, won't the Detroit fortress be punctured like paper paste?" “

Hua Guoqiang said unhappily: "Okay, there are still 2 days before the war, you go to the Northeast Theater in the afternoon and tell Su Linxu that this time you should train the Japanese mercenaries well, let the Japanese mercenaries take turns to fight, and the task of killing is also arranged for the Japanese to do." “

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff!" After Shi Yide withdrew, he began to prepare for departure.

Song Shijie said with a smile: "Chief of the General Staff, don't have such a big psychological pressure, the timing of the empire's choice this time is very good, there are not many troops on the American side, all of them have been transferred to Mexico, we don't have to guard against the Americans, just leave a part of the Wehrmacht to be on guard, or transfer all the garrisons and mercenaries to Canada for exercise, otherwise, when there is another big war, they will still not be able to withstand it." “

Hua Guoqiang said: "I also think, it's just that the Imperial Staff requires us not to use too many troops, 100,000 people is the red line, otherwise Chen Yifeng's opinion will be even worse, and the logistical pressure of transferring too many people is also great." “

Song Shijie said with a smile: "The Chief of the General Staff is confused, the Imperial General Staff just asked Lu to send 100,000 officers and soldiers to participate in the war, and you won't replace all the Wehrmacht with mercenaries?" Replace the cavalry division with a cavalry unit of mercenaries? As long as the Janissaries do not cross the border line, they will not be considered to be in the war, and after taking the Detroit Fortress, do they need the Praetorian Guards to continue to fight? They are only responsible for escorting at the border; As for the logistical pressure, as long as there is ammunition, it is fine, and food or something can be eaten in a certain place. “

Feng Guohua thought about it for a while, and used the Japanese mercenaries and the mercenaries and garrisons sent from the peninsula SAR to fight, believing that the level of Canadian officers and soldiers was not much higher, and if it really didn't work, the Praetorian Guard and cavalry divisions would understand.

"Oh, it's still the prime minister who has a lot of ideas, just now Shi Yide said that the prime minister is simple, guard, go and call Shi Yide back, see how I cut him." Feng Guohua arranged.

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff!" After the guard answered, he went to find Shi Yide.

Shi Yide came back, and after listening to Feng Guohua's plan, he felt that it was very feasible to train the garrison and mercenaries, which would be beneficial for fighting wars and vicious battles in the future, and could comprehensively improve the combat level of the Lu army.

As a result, at noon on the 18th, the General Staff of the Lu State issued a notice on military exercises, leaving 3 mercenary cavalry brigades and 6 brigades of Japanese mercenaries to the front line, while the Janissaries and Wehrmacht on the front line retreated to the second line.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the mercenaries and garrisons of the Northeast Theater, the Eastern Theater, and the Central Theater began to rush to the front by train.

The Americans are now dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, and if Lu wants to attack the 13 states of the United States, it will be useless to leave any number of troops, not to mention that there are not many troops in the country now.

And the Canadian self-government has always felt that it is under the protection of the British Empire, and the Xia Empire will never dare to take the initiative to attack them, otherwise it will not take out 4 battleships to exchange for the poor areas of Northwest Canada; Therefore, the self-government of Canada considered the military exercises of the Lu Kingdom to be mere military exercises, and did not realize that the war was getting closer and closer to them.
