"This ......" Wang Junshi was stunned, but he still asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's willing to sell you shells, as long as you have the money. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sell machine tools for making shells to you, you don't forget that Britain and France have ordered a large number of orders in the United States, the production capacity of the American arsenal is seriously insufficient, and people themselves lack machine tools and chemical equipment for making medicines, and you can't buy shell equipment on such a large scale. Li Kongrong thought of the series of factory construction contracts negotiated between Kong Xiangxi and his entourage before the war and the Germans before the war, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Colonel Li, who do you think is the most suitable commander of the counteroffensive battle? Is General Xue Boling suitable for the Battle of Changsha? After the people from Sin Chew Daily asked, Fu Wubo's previous question had long been forgotten, and he began to talk about the country that Li Kongrong said. Imagination in the army counteroffensive.

"Xue Yue can't do it. This person ......" Li Kongrong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The courage is strong enough, and bragging is not a big problem, but he was born as a veteran officer, and because he was the commander of the guard battalion in his early years, he was promoted too quickly, and he could not fully grasp the command of the campaign under modern warfare." He couldn't control the decisive battle of a hundred heavy infantry divisions and two thousand aircraft. ”

"What about General Li Zongren?" Fu Wubo suddenly felt that let Li Kongrong comment on the country. The generals of the Anti-Japanese War are also a good subject, and when the time comes, Sin Chew Daily writes about the country. Army counteroffensive strategy, Nanyang Siang Pao wrote about the country. Comment by the generals.

"It's okay to add General Bai Chongxi, but the question is whether the Whampoa generals below are under the command of these two people?" Li Kongrong smiled, "Li Bai is from the Gui family, if the most critical battle of Wuhan was won by them, is Mr. Chang happy?" ”

"Yes, yes." Fu Wubo also smiled, he didn't expect that Li Kongrong would be able to take this into account.

"Colonel Lee, is the country. The army does not have a suitable commander? The people of Nanyang Siang Pao snickered, and Sin Chew Daily stopped doing it.

"Country. Of course, the army has a good commander. Li Kongrong said: "But the problem is ......, Fu Zuoyi is suitable, but he is not familiar with the Huangpu department, and it is too far away to come and command; Wei Lihuang is also suitable, but the question is the same as Li Bai, is the Whampoa uniform below? Du Yuming is okay, but he still lacks some experience, he does not have the experience of commanding dozens of divisions, of course, if the staff is properly equipped, for example, he and Bai Chongxi can command together. In this Nanning battle, his command authority was promoted, and this person learned things very quickly, and maybe he would mature by then.

But Du Yuming also has a fatal problem - in addition to his ability to fight, the other is Mr. Chang's trust, so he is loyal to Mr. Chang. Even if he knew that it was a wrong order and that the execution would be wiped out, he would resolutely carry it out according to Mr. Chang's wishes. Let's not say whether this is right or wrong, if Mr. Chang calls one phone call and one telegram at a time, interferes like the Battle of Songhu, or oversteps the call to the army commander, division commander, or even regiment commander, this battle will definitely be lost.

Mr. Chang is a passable national grand strategic capability, so he believes that Japan will be defeated; His tactical ability is very good, after all, he came out of the Japanese military academy and is very meticulous, but unfortunately his campaign command ability is not good. But he thinks that his tactical ability is stronger than that of his subordinates, and he wants to take it to the front line to execute an idea in his head, so he likes to interfere with the front-line command. The intentions are good, but this will bring confusion to the command, the command originally thought that there was a corps in this position, but in fact it was gone, and Mr. Chang's phone had already transferred the corps away, but the command did not know yet. Therefore, before the Battle of Xuzhou, Li Zongren's first request was that Mr. Chang should not overstep the command, if it was Du Yuming's command, such a situation would definitely occur.

Another problem is the problem of the roots of the national dang, the root of the national dang is the League in the late Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Revolutionary Party in the early years of the Republic of China. Who are these people? Scholars, most of whom are scholars. The characteristics of scholars are that they pay attention to integrity, or spirit first, but their hands-on ability is very poor. At that time, the most capable and down-to-earth people in the League were Hunan people, such as Mr. Huang Xing, who was known as the Hunan mule, he unfortunately died too early, and most of the Hunan people during the League were not in the national dang, even if they were not mainstream, so the stubborn disease on the root of the national dang was that the eyes were high and low, so ambitious and unrealistic. Whether it is seeking truth from facts or scientific planning, they don't have it, they basically don't, and some of them are just righteous and full of righteousness.

You can recall the Chinese Confucian scholars of the nature of the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they would indeed burn down with the city, or hang the whole family to observe the festival, but what is the use of this? It is useless not to resist from the level of matter and force, but only from the spirit. The people of Hunan have a lesson about this, so they have been pragmatic since Gu Yanwu, and Zeng Guofan's Hunan army and Mr. Huang Xing, as I mentioned just now, have benefited from this.

Other places, such as Wuyue and Guangdong, are basically the same. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, King Siren said, 'Yue is a country of revenge and shame, not a place to hide dirt and filth', and he finally died of hunger strike; if you look at Wu Yue and Wu Mengxia, who assassinated the five foreign ministers at the Beijing railway station in 1905 at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he also sacrificed his life for righteousness; if you look at the killers of today's military and central commands, they still sacrifice their lives to deal with traitors. It's been hundreds of years, and it hasn't changed at all.

I'm not saying that it's useless to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, but it's hard to change the overall situation. Wang Siren died when he died on hunger strike, and the Manchu Qing ruled and enslaved the Han people as before; Wu Yue blew up the five foreign ministers, not to say that he didn't blow it up, what if it did? The Manchus were not constitutional? Looking at the current military command and central unity, what about killing traitors? The puppet army and traitors who surrendered to the Japanese are still countless. Instead of assassinating traitors and sacrificing themselves, it is better to spy on more Japanese military intelligence and change the country. The army is full of loopholes, and the Japanese army often deciphers the communication code, and then find a way to attack the Japanese in the core and most important place of the Japanese.

Country. If the army really counterattacks, one of the biggest dangers is that the people do not seek a practical decisive battle, but only pursue integrity. If the country. If the army makes another strategic mistake like the Battle of Songhu, the cost of the counteroffensive will definitely rise in a straight line. ”

Originally, he was talking about generals, but he didn't expect to end up talking about the problem of the people themselves, Zhang Chukun was happy, and as soon as Li Kongrong finished speaking, he asked: "Then may I ask Colonel Li, is there such a talent on the Communist Party?" I mean the people who command the battle, not the people who have to be in command. ”

"The Communists?" Li Kongrong said casually, "There are also, I think there are two." ”

"Two? Which two are they? Zhang Chukun hurriedly asked.

"One is Lin Sanhu who commands Pingxingguan, and the other is Peng Huaide." After Li Kongrong finished speaking, Zhang Chukun still looked at him, hoping that he could say a few words. He thought for a while and then said: "The former is a military expert, a fourth-term student in Huangpu, although his qualifications are not high, his talent among generals is definitely top-notch. It is said that he likes to memorize the map while eating fried beans when planning operations, and in the end, the entire battlefield terrain and the layout of the enemy's and our troops are all engraved in his mind, and he can command without looking at the map and closing his eyes during the decisive battle. In addition, after the war, they are good at sorting out, and they are good at popularizing the tactics that have been summed up, so that the tactical literacy of the troops has been continuously improved.

The latter, although not as delicate as the former, is better than the spirit. Since you are the commander of the three armed forces, you can hand over the fine aspect to the staff officer, and what you have to do is to make a decision. Not everyone can make a decision on the battlefield, if you don't make the right decision, the details will be bigger, but the final victory is still yours. ”

Li Kongrong said in detail, Zhang Chukun had a smile on his face, and he was about to ask what would happen if Lin Sanhu commanded the battle of Wuhan, but Guan Chupu of Sin Chew Daily asked first: "May I ask ...... this General Fu Zuoyi?"

"It's Fu Zuoyi of Suiyuan, Jin Jun was born, and the Bailing Temple was a great victory a few years ago...... "As soon as Li Kongrong said Bailing Temple, Guan Chupu knew who it was -- Li Kongrong was talking about the name, and what he knew was the word: Fu Yisheng." He can be in charge of Shuaiyin, not all because of his personal talent, which also has a lot to do with the group he is in, the 35th Army is mainly the Jin Army, and the family members are all in the Hetao area, the soldiers and the people are one, and of course there are such children and soldiers who are like arms, and no one can stop them. This is also the characteristic of the Jin army, holding together, being able to cover each other when defeating and retreating, and rarely disperse, so everyone says that the Jin army is good at defending.

There are only some national commanders, and there are many generals, such as Wang Yaowu, Zheng Dongguo, Fan Hanjie, Qiu Qingquan, ......, as well as Hu Lian and Liao Yaoxiang, these are all generals, and they can independently command three or five armies, and there is no problem with 120,000 people. The question is whether these people are in unison? For example, Hu Lian is as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a wolf, but he has always taken care of friendly troops in wars, and his sense of smell on the battlefield is very smart. Qiu Qingquan can fight, but his temper is not very good, and he is not very gregarious......"

Speaking of friendly cooperation, Li Kongrong suddenly thought of the party-state air force that had stopped fighting because of a movie, he stopped to smoke and smiled bitterly, and after a while he said: "It's very difficult to counterattack!" Ladies and gentlemen. The Air Force is an aristocratic service, and there are many children of rich families, and they think they are superior, and they usually only look at the faces of Mrs. Chang and Mr. Chang, and if they want them to become a tactical air force that supports the army's operations, they will definitely make trouble if they are subject to the army. I think this commander can only be done by Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang together, Mr. Chang does not command, only issues orders and warrants in his name, and the actual command can be made whether Du Yuming or Wei Lihuang is already, but Bai Chongxi must be the chief of staff, and before the battle, he must negotiate the terms with the Gui family, and promise that the Gui department will be supplemented without discrimination after being disabled, so that the war can be fought well. ”

"Mr. Colonel," George Pitt had been listening to Li Kongrong speak Chinese, he couldn't understand, Li Kongrong finally couldn't help but ask, "I want to ask what method you will use to defeat the Japanese?" ”

"The Navy, of course." Finally freed from the strategic plan of the army's counteroffensive, Li Kongrong breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood why the Japanese Navy said that the army was a 'red deer', the Japanese army was a 'red deer', and the party-state's army was even more 'red deer'.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Pete asked.

"Yes." Li Kongrong extinguished the cigarette, "To defeat Japan, using the navy is the most trouble-free and cost-effective way." Japan had ten battleships, but the fastest of these ten battleships, the Kongo-class, was only twenty-seven knots. Battleships must get close to 20,000 meters before they can open fire, and 15,000 meters before they can get ahead, and our aircraft carriers all sail at speeds of more than 30 knots, and battleships cannot damage aircraft carriers at all. ”

"However, Japan also has aircraft carriers." "There are probably five or six." ”

"Yes, Japan does have five or six aircraft carriers, but the carrier-based aircraft of Japanese aircraft carriers are not good. The speed of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter was too slow, and the speed was only more than 400 kilometers per hour. The fighter planes purchased by our army in the United States have a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, and other characteristics have also been greatly improved, and I believe that one such fighter is equivalent to two Japanese. The pilots of the Navy are also excellent, they are well trained. Li Kongrong said with a smile. The most decisive thing is that the battleship of the Navy can never be sunk, because it is built with a special kind of ice. ”

"Ice?!" Pete was fooled again. "Are you sure I heard me right, sir?"

"Yes, I'm sure you heard you right. Our battleships were built of ice, not ordinary ice, which was brittle, it was a special kind of ice, ice invented by naval scientists. "Li Kongrong's heart blossomed, he thought that this idea was very good to sell to the British, and the Americans could too." It was built very quickly and at a very large tonnage, about a million tons ......"

"A million tons? Oh! Oh, God. "The British were shocked.

"Yes, with a displacement of about one million tons, about two thousand feet (600 m) long and about three hundred feet (90 m) wide, each equipped with seven triple fifty-fold sixteen-inch main gun turrets, such a battleship would have five more guns than the Nagato and Mutsu combined, and we will build two." Li Kongrong said very seriously. "Although the speed cannot be fast because the tonnage is too large, the decisive battle at sea is enough, and the Japanese shells and torpedoes will never be able to penetrate the ice armor of these two battleships, and even if they are penetrated, they will not sink, and they can be repaired by watering after being shot."

"It's unbelievable." Pete was stunned and quickly jotted down the data of the ice battleship, which he thought was big news.

"So, where are you going to start attacking?" He asked again when he finished writing.

"The Marshall Islands in the South Pacific, of course." Li Kongrong continued to flicker, "If the Japanese army moves south, I will assist the British Royal Navy to defend Australia and use Australia as a base to start the attack. The Navy is not an army, and the battle for the islands does not require much troops, and I think a Marine Division can easily take the Marshall Islands. ”

"And then? Mr? Pete continued.

"Take the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific, and the next step is naturally the Mariana Islands." Li Kongrong smiled. "A decisive battle at sea will break out here, and with two million-ton ice battleships, we will win a decisive victory, and the Japanese will have to retreat to Iwo Jima and Ogasawara Islands. Following this island chain, we will soon be able to reach Tokyo Bay.

Of course, there is another line of attack, that is, after occupying the Palau Islands, with the help of the American Philippines to capture Taiwan and Xiamen. The reason for the capture of Xiamen was the need for the navy to expand the size of the Marine Corps, which would probably require ten to twenty divisions, which were used to besiege the Japanese landing, and they were to attack Tokyo when the Japanese were exhausted by hunger. ”

"And how much are you prepared to make Japan pay?" Li Kongrong's strategy to attack Japan was specious, and Pete couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake at all, so he could only continue to ask questions.

"It's up to the allies: the attitude of the King of Britain's government, and the actual losses of the navy itself, the province of Fujian, and the Chinese who bought the naval bonds, but in any case, it's going to be a very worthwhile investment." Li Kongrong said with a smile.
