Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said to Ambassador Li Jingfa: "Communicate with the United States and let them divide their troops into two routes, all the way to South America by sea and all the way to South America by land, so that the southern theater can occupy all Central America." ”
Ambassador Li Jingfa asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of kilometers from north to south, and the US troops may not be willing to move by land, right?" “
"They won't be unwilling, they can't do this, how many more supplies can they rob? Surely they would! Zhang Wei said.
Ambassador Li Jingfa asked: "Your Majesty, there are many independent countries in Central America, and we have occupied them for no reason, and it is difficult for the international community to explain them. ”
Zhang Wei laughed and said: "These countries are all original Spanish colonies, and later became independent, there is no suzerain, some countries themselves are controlled by the United States, the United States robbed them, no major powers will complain for them, we just want to maintain regional stability and drive the Americans away, so there is nothing bad to explain, power is truth; Besides, we don't need to explain anything to anyone, we just need an excuse. ”
Feng Guohua said: "Yes, it is a good excuse for us to help them drive away the American invaders." ”
Bai Yuqing asked: "Your Majesty, how to set up administrative divisions on the newly occupied territory?" ”
Zhang Wei pointed to the map and said, "Didn't you say that you want to set up air bases in all three major cities in Mexico?" The three major cities are divided into three major provinces, the Northern, Central, and Southern provinces, and the Yucatan Peninsula is set up as Peninsula Provinces, including southern Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala; The remainder is to be designated as the Narrow Provinces, which include all of Honduras to Panama; There are a total of 5 provinces, and each province is stationed with 1 army, so you can add an air base, and you will be given a total of 6 airships and 30 aircraft. As for the islands of the Caribbean Sea as a whole, they will be occupied at a later date, and a province will be established there. ”
Bai Yuqing replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, where is your opinion on this air base?" “
Zhang Wei pointed to the map and said: "The fourth air base is located in Guatemala City, and the fifth air base is located in Lake Managua. 【】”
Feng Guohua asked: "Your Majesty, why don't the four states along the Gulf of California be placed under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Territory, so that it is convenient for the navy of San Diego to establish a patrol port there; At the same time, I propose to equip the Southern Theater of Operations with at least 3 cruiser fleets, one in the Gulf of Mexico, one in the Caribbean, and the third in the Pacific direction. ”
Zhang Wei looked at the map, these four small states are assigned to Los Angeles or easy to manage, or they deviate far from several other big cities, and there are mountain ranges blocking them, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is very difficult to manage, so he agreed to Feng Guohua's request and assigned those four states to the jurisdiction of the municipality of Los Angeles.
As for the naval fleet, Zhang Wei did not agree, and replied directly: "It is not appropriate to expose too much naval strength now, the patrol of the Pacific waters is in charge of the naval fleet in San Diego, and the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean are still patrolled by the Atlantic Fleet of the Lu State; Besides, I just want to equip you with warships now, and you don't have a suitable military port, so let's talk about this matter later. ”
Bai Yuqing asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to add a few more national defense divisions and reorganize them into police forces to maintain local law and order?" “
"For the time being, there is no need for the time being, only 50,000 people will be arranged in each of the three major cities and the port of Veracruz this year, and there will be no large-scale resettlement, and all the occupied areas will be under military control, and after the local people are emptied, immigration and police will be arranged next year; This year, your task is to occupy the territory, empty the locals, and then use the young people to build infrastructure, such as houses, schools, hospitals, roads, railways, etc., and when the infrastructure is almost built, you can send these young people to mining, such as copper and silver mines in Mexico; In addition, it is necessary to secretly dispose of all the old, weak, young, and disabled. Zhang Wei arranged, thinking, how did these people know to ask him for soldiers and weapons, but they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Song Shijie retorted: "Your Majesty, there are nearly 20 million people living on this land that the empire is going to occupy, do you want to wipe them all out?" “
Zhang Wei said lightly: "It is impossible to wipe them all out, after the looting by the United States, I don't know how many people can survive, many people will definitely starve to death, and some people will die from the rebels, these people can't be counted on us; Some will flee back to Europe; Some will cross Panama to South America; As for the rest of the people, there will not be many people, we will be caught to be laborers, we will provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, and help us build infrastructure. “
In the world at that time, it was normal for the strong to kill the weak, as far away as Spain slaughtered Chinese in Manila many times, and the Netherlands slaughtered Chinese; Recently, there are the Hailan Pao tragedy, the Jiangdong 64 Tun Bloody Case, and the Lushun Massacre, as for the usual killings, the number of people who are slaughtered will be more if they are combined; This extermination of these 20 million people, if you want to count the heads of the Americans, what does it have to do with the Xia Empire?
With a total of more than 300,000 troops, it would be very troublesome just to arrive at the designated place, and it was necessary to ensure a huge supply of logistics materials, so Zhang Wei asked Hua Guoqiang and Bai Yuqing to formulate a detailed battle plan.
Feng Guohua reported: "Your Majesty, we have already worked out that these 300,000 troops will enter Mexico in batches, and the way of marching is also different, and later according to the operational requirements, we have revised it;
First send cavalry units into Mexico to take over the railway stations from the Americans, then two garrisons gradually enter Mexico, the first stage is to occupy Monterrey and Guadalajara, to control the railroad from Laredo to Monterrey and from El Paso to Guadalajara;
The second phase is to control the railway from Guadalajara to Mexico City to the port of Veracruz, and to establish an air base in Mexico City according to His Majesty's instructions, and at the same time to take over the port of Veracruz as a naval port in Mexico and a supply port for supplies in Mexico City;
In the third stage, the cavalry will go by road, and the other infantry and artillery will take the sea route, and after landing at the nearest location, they will reach the Guatemalan City River and the Managua Lake City respectively;
Then the provinces are responsible for cleaning up the local people and carrying out local infrastructure construction, the most important thing is to build military camps, roads and railways first, so that the railway network of the entire southern theater will be connected to facilitate the mobilization and deployment of troops in the future. “
Zhang Wei said: "Your plan is not wrong on the whole, very good, I mean you have to be more meticulous, you have to be meticulous about which division is in what position on which day, how many miles a day to walk when marching, how to support logistics, what problems may be encountered, how to deal with problems, whether you need the cooperation of the air force and the navy, and how to coordinate the navy and the air force; This is an exercise for you, which can improve your overall ability, especially your organizational ability;
From the beginning of the empire to the present, our army has not fought a few big battles and vicious battles, all rely on sneak attacks and blitzkriegs, this kind of good thing will be less and less, in the future, we will have to rely on strength to carry out a hard-fought duel, we are very lacking in this regard, now we will work hard to improve your organizational ability, which is considered to be training before the war;
I still won't personally help you in this war, from the transportation of troops to the material support, all of which will be completed by you using the existing conditions; I hope you don't fight as bad as the Canadian War, otherwise you will definitely be defeated in the face of the Russian and German armies in the future. “
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will strengthen our training in this area." Feng Guohua then asked: "Your Majesty, when will the troops of the Southern Theater start to enter Mexico?" ”
Zhang Wei said: "If we want to negotiate with the Americans, Ambassador Li will communicate with the US Government in detail, because I feel that after the Americans occupy Mexico City and Guadalajara, you will take advantage of this time to refine the battle plan, and at the same time run in the troops, and readjust the location of the troops according to the battle plan, so that the time will be smooth for the battle." “
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Song Shijie said with emotion: "Mexico's economy is so good, and it will disappear after passing this war. “
Zhang Wei said: "Premier Song, Mexico's economy is only superficial, it is a pure false prosperity, and we must not only look at the surface, but also look at its substance;
The United States has always regarded Mexico as its sphere of influence, and put an end to the involvement of other countries, and with the strong support of the state, American businessmen have come one after another and become Mexican guests, and Mexico has given special preferential treatment to the Americans, and extended the railroad to the north to connect with the United States, so as to facilitate the Americans to invest;
For example, the United States sells oil extracted from Mexico to the United States, and Mexico imports oil from the United States at a high price, which is 10 times the price in the United States.
The Americans shipped their profits and products back home, leaving Mexico with only cheap wage workers and chicken feathers;
This is a painful lesson that we should learn from, and when we engage in economic development in the future, we must pay attention to self-reliance and gradual progress, because external forces cannot be relied on. “
Song Shijie said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to care about anything else, but Mexico's oil fields and supporting power plants and oil pipelines cannot be stopped, and if they are stopped, it will be difficult to start again, so I think we must hand over the oil fields from the Americans." ”
"You can communicate directly with Chief of Staff Bai about similar things, and these questions are also for me, can I be busy?"
The messy military meeting was held for a day, and there was not much substantive content, and Zhang Wei's head was too big, so he left it all to Feng Guohua and Bai Yuqing to do. With the current strength of the empire, even if something happens, it is all a small thing, if he keeps following them to wipe their butts and use his advantages to help fight, the troops will never grow, if they face the alliance forces of Russia and European countries in the future, they will definitely have to fight on multiple fronts, he has no way to help the battle on each line of defense, in the end, it still depends on their personal talents, they must grow up as soon as possible.
If you can't even do a good job of planning, and you can't connect with the US military in connection with the receiving places, then how can you dominate the world in the future? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
