In the busy process of the governments of the world, led by the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and Germany, contributing money and efforts to help Donghui's national construction, time flew by, and before I knew it, it was January 1939.

Throwing out the container logistics system, the round-trip transportation efficiency of materials between Paradise Island and Shuguang Island has naturally increased by dozens of times.

Naturally, Global Express Logistics Company officially launched operations on Paradise Island.

No one knew that all the employees of this global express logistics company were all officers and soldiers of the Donghui Marine Corps divisions in rotation.

The Donghui Marine Corps Expeditionary Strike Force is a rapid reaction force operating on a global scale. Cheng Gongming has no way for the Marines to engage in armed parades around the world, so he can only change the way and let the Marines have the opportunity to fly airplanes, ocean-going transport ships, various types of automobiles and engineering vehicles as much as possible by putting on the coat of the global express logistics company, and by the way, they can also engage in income generation and build a world-class logistics express brand.

As a result, the training tasks and subjects of the Donghui Navy and Marine Corps have increased significantly.

To this end, Cheng Gong deliberately asked the base to build a batch of C54 long-range transport planes and PBY Catalina seaplanes for HNA and Army Airlines, which were used as both cargo planes and training planes. After the outbreak of World War II, it can be sold for a high price.

Cheng Gong did not plan to let the C130 Hercules transport aircraft and F-4 Phantom fighters deployed by the Marine Expeditionary Force Air Wing for the time being, but only conducted suitability training in the Aleutian Islands.

As for the equipment of the Donghui Navy, it has to be hidden even more. No matter what, he had to wait until they all passed the training assessment of the German Navy and the Dongying Navy before Cheng Gong would consider taking out the good treasures that really belonged to the Donghui Navy to bask in the sun.

In addition to the situation in Northeast China and Ethiopia in Africa, there are still sporadic wars in all parts of the world, and other countries are all in storage, whether it is the Axis Alliance or the United States, Britain and France, they are all trying to speed up the absorption and digestion of all kinds of science and technology obtained from Donghui, and increase the pace of accelerating the development of their own countries' industrial and economic construction.

Except for Cheng Gong, no one in the whole world would have imagined that a world war that would engulf Eurasia and the Pacific was quietly brewing.

The Supreme Military Council of Donghui is located in the southeast of Paradise Island, about twenty kilometers from Cheng's Fort. If viewed from the air, this building is in a regular pentagonal shape, so it was named "Pentagon" by Cheng Gong.

The Pentagon covers an area of 2,359,000 square meters, with a height of 22 meters and a total of five floors (including two underground floors), each floor with five circular walks from the inside to the outside, with a total length of 28.2 kilometers. The total construction area is 608,000 square meters, and the usable area is about 344,000 square meters. Officially opened on October 1, 1398, it can accommodate 23,000 people, making it the largest single office in the world.

The lobby on the first floor of the Pentagon contains a bank, a post office, a bookstore, a clinic, a telegraph office, and a variety of shops. There is a large parking lot on the north and south sides of the building, which can accommodate 10,000 cars at a time, and there are five dedicated helipads.

On October 1, 1938, the Joint Operations Command Center of the Donghui Supreme Military Council, established by Cheng Gong, King of Donghui, began to work here. Since then, the Pentagon has become the code name of the Joint Command Center of the Donghui Military Commission, and in addition to the organs of the Military Commission, the building also includes the subordinate General Directorate of Military Intelligence, the Air Force Command, the Navy Command, the Marine Corps Expeditionary Force Command, and the Naval Aviation Command.

The General Directorate of Military Intelligence is on the second floor, and the floor and walls of this office building are all paved with black stone granite, which is called the "Black Hall" by other staff members in the building.

The chairman's office and the command of the Marine Expeditionary Force are on the third floor. There is an "expedition hall" in the corner of the corridor on the third floor, which is set up to commemorate the routes, anchorages and historical events that Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty passed through seven voyages to the West.

There are three huge murals here, which record the various parameters of the large and medium-sized ocean-going treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the various deeds of more than 30 countries and regions that passed through the seven voyages to the Western Ocean. On the third floor, it is the headquarters of the Navy and the Air Force.

The 5th of each month is the day of the regular meeting of the Military Council. It's just that Cheng Gong is often absent, but occasionally he will carry out surprise attacks.

However, on the 5th of January, Cheng Gong not only appeared at the Pentagon early, but also ordered all responsible persons of various departments to attend today's regular meeting on time, and those who were absent without reason were handed over to the General Administration of Military Intelligence for investigation and handling.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Jiliang, deputy commander of the Navy, and Chen Shaokuan, chief of staff; Air Force Commander Gao Zhihang and Chief of Staff Liu Cuigang; Sun Liren, commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps expeditionary force, and Hu Lian, chief of staff; Dai Yunong, director of the General Administration of Military Intelligence, Shen Zui, deputy director of the General Administration of Military Intelligence, and others were all neatly dressed, with straight waists, chest and eyes, and solemn seats.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the loud announcement of the official on duty outside the conference room, Chen Jiliang, Chen Shaokuan, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Sun Liren, Hu Lian, Dai Yunong, and Shen Zui all stood up together, their eyes looking straight ahead, and their eyes did not squint.

Cheng Gong was dressed in a very ordinary Marine Corps marine camouflage training uniform, walked slowly with an expressionless face, came to the main seat of the long conference table and stood still, and swept his eyes on the faces of the eight "Eight King Kongs" representing the commanders of the Donghui National Defense Forces on both sides of the stand, and then sat down and took a seat.

Zhao Yajing, who came in with Cheng Gong, was also dressed in a marine camouflage training uniform, holding a notepad and a pen in her hand, and sat down on the chair on the oblique side behind Cheng Gong.

"Sit down." Cheng Gong's right hand was raised lightly, and the pressure was indicated.

"Huh!"

The eight people sat down at the same time, half of their bodies on their sides, and saluted Cheng Gongxing.

"Recently, I have inspected the training of several units." Cheng Gong said his opening remarks unhurriedly: "On the whole, the training results of the troops are quite satisfactory. This also shows that all of you here have lived up to the trust that this king has placed in you, and I would like to commend you verbally. ”

"Quack chirp ......"

Chen Jiliang, Dai Yunong and others hurriedly applauded warmly and thanked them.

It's not easy!

It seems that this is the first time since joining the Donghui National Defense Force that His Majesty Cheng Gong has been praised on an official occasion.

Although it was only verbal praise, Dai Yunong, Chen Jiliang, Gao Zhihang, Sun Liren and others were still full of emotion.

Without him, the various weapons and equipment, logistics supply systems, and office systems provided by His Majesty the King to the Donghui Defense Force's Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Military Intelligence Directorate are too advanced.

"Praise is praise, but it is not without unsatisfactory places." Cheng Gong's face was extremely serious and he said in a deep voice: "The literacy work of officers and soldiers needs to be further strengthened!" Make sure that each soldier has a minimum literacy of more than 3,000 words! Can it be done? ”

"Resolutely complete the task!" Dai Yunong, Chen Jiliang, Gao Zhihang, Sun Liren and other eight people stood up with their faces and replied in unison.

Cheng Gong pressed his right hand weakly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then continued: "The Central Military Commission Joint Command Center Building is the main function, and the eight of you here still need to study, ponder, and comprehend more, and we must thoroughly understand our army's implementation of the military strategic principles under the new situation and focus on studying the core functions of fighting big battles and commanding operations!"

In your peacetime work, I ask you to further emancipate your minds, change your concepts, blaze new trails, overcome difficulties, and strive to build the Pentagon into a joint operations command organization that is absolutely loyal, good at fighting wars, efficient in command, and sure to win, and build a strategic campaign command system that integrates peacetime and wartime, operates normally, specializes in the main operations, and is capable and efficient, so as to escort the construction of Donghui's national industrialization system and economic construction! ”
