Chapter 1062: Layout in advance
If you want to smash the colonial system of the European and American powers, you must go through a war, and this war will be fought between China and Britain, and perhaps France, Zhao Bei hopes that the United States can remain neutral, but if the United States is not neutral,
To deal with so many powerful countries in one go, to be honest, when Zhao Bei received the order to formulate a battle plan, there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in the General Staff.
If it had been left in the past, Zhao Bei's actions would definitely have been ridiculed as "arrogant" by public opinion in Europe and the United States, but now, Zhao Bei can be sure that once his actions are put into practice, the mainstream public opinion in European and American societies will definitely not regard his actions as "arrogant moves", not to mention anything else, just looking at the tanks and combat aircraft that the Chinese Army is now equipped with, it is enough to make European and American countries dumbfounded, according to the information of the British newspapers. Since Zhao Bei returned to power, the Chinese Army has expanded to 1.5 million men, equipped with more than 2,000 medium tanks and 2,000 military combat aircraft of various types, of which new aircraft account for at least half of the establishment.
In fact, since Zhao Bei signed an order last year to extend the service period of active duty servicemen for two years, the total strength of the Chinese Army has exceeded 2 million on the eve of the end of the "Second Nanyang War", which is a jaw-dropping figure, and no country can resist in the face of this huge land military force, not to mention that Britain is far away in Europe, and the situation in Europe is becoming more and more turbulent, and Germany and Italy are staring at the European continent with a tiger's eye, at any time will use force to upset the current balance of power on the European continent.
This is only the current strength of the Chinese army, and according to China's national strength and population, as long as Zhao Bei is willing, he can easily expand the size of the army to five million people, and according to the land military force of KAO, he can sweep away all land enemies.
This is only one aspect of military strength, and another can reflect China's current military strength is also the construction of communications, after many years of construction, now China, railways and highways have been completely in accordance with the strategic plan to complete the construction of the system, once the war starts, China's army units can quickly move through the extensive railway network and highway network, and the engineering troops also have the world's first-class road construction equipment, can ensure the rapid advancement of the troops.
Of course, the equipment of the army still needs to continue to improve, although the current strength of the armored forces does not satisfy Zhao Bei, but the development of the strategic situation can no longer allow him to hesitate, in any case, now is the best time to start a war against Britain, while the United States has not yet expanded its military strength to the scale of the Sino-British land war, China must seize the time to swallow Britain's sphere of influence in Asia and even the Middle East.
It is also against this background that Zhao Bei began this secret inspection, he first went to the Central Asian Military Region to inspect the military region's preparations, although according to the general staff's battle plan against the British, most of the troops of the Central Asian Military Region will not directly participate in this war against Britain, but considering the close proximity of the Soviet Union, the Central Asian Military Region must also maintain a high degree of alert during the war, once the Soviet Union makes a move, the Central Asian Military District's tiger division will become a sharp sword piercing the Soviet Union's abdomen, forcing the Soviet Union to act cautiously.
After inspecting the Central Asian Military Region, Zhao Bei rushed to the southwest region without stopping, and Kunming was the last and most important stop for him to inspect the military work in the southwest, Kunming is now the headquarters of the Southwest Military Region, and once the war against Britain begins, this will immediately become the headquarters of the former enemy, and at that time, not only will the General Staff Headquarters preside over the work here, but if necessary, Zhao Bei will also sit here to cheer for the front-line troops.
Zhao Bei arrived in Kunming yesterday, and from yesterday to today, he has successively met with all the important military and political officials, and now, he has specially summoned these dozen instructors from the secret training camp for the purpose of examining their morale, and the result is very satisfactory to him, these Asian nationalist elites can become the front-line cannon fodder in this war against Britain.
Zhao Bei's plan was simple: he would arm these nationalists from all over Asia to the teeth, and then sprinkle them into the vast British and French colonies, and they would unite those like-minded nationalists to launch a series of armed uprisings and armed uprisings in the local area.
These militants alone will not be able to achieve any climate, and Zhao Bei also understands this, so he also made another preparation: once the armed insurrection begins, an "Asian Solidarity Conference" will be held at the right time and at the right place, and at that time, Zhao Bei will personally preside over this congress and will become the supreme spiritual leader of the Asian liberation movement.
As a matter of fact, preparations are already in full swing for the current congress, and representatives from various Asian countries and localities have already gathered in Tianjin, just waiting for these militants to launch an armed resistance in their homeland and hometown; if the "Second Nanyang War" sounded the clarion call for the liberation of Asia, then what will follow is the clarion call for a general offensive.
The nations of Asia are waiting for this trumpet, and Zhao Bei is also waiting for this trumpet, everything is ready, and all that remains is a little patience and a little courage.
Zhao Bei made full preparations for meeting these Asian national liberation elites, and the exciting speech was secondary, but the important thing was the action plan, which had already been drawn up in detail by the General Staff Headquarters.
After motivating everyone, Cho Bei handed over the task of introducing the plan of action to the accompanying staff officer, and he himself walked into an office and called the North Korean Pak Chang-so to the office.
This "Asian liberation movement" does not include the national uprising in Korea for the time being, which is determined by the current strategic situation, and now it must not provoke Japan, on the contrary, it must win over Japan well, so Korea will continue to be a Japanese colony and provide raw materials and labor for Japan's war machine.
"You're Park Chang-so, aren't you? I know your bottom line, back then, you were able to escape from the gunpoint of a court-martial, mainly because of your military experience, which saved you.
I personally don't have any prejudices against you, but I appreciate your adventurous spirit, in modern times, the Oriental nation lacks this adventurous spirit, but now, the awakening of the Oriental nation is in sight, you don't want to miss this great moment of the awakening of the Eastern nation, right? After the adjutant led Park Changxiu to the office, as soon as the door closed, Zhao Bei first said something to Park Changxiu, but this remark was a bit unfathomable, which made Park Changxiu scratch his head for a while.
"The liberation of this oriental nation should have nothing to do with the Koreans, right?" Park Chang-so asked.
Zhao Bei smiled, motioned for Park Changxiu to sit down on the sand opposite, and then said: "Changxiu, I can understand your feelings, but international politics is complicated, the current situation, China cannot affect Japan's strategy, therefore, the Asian liberation movement does not include North Korea for the time being, but it cannot be said that North Korea cannot be independent, in fact, I had a secret conversation with the Japanese minister, and the Japanese minister told me that if Japan can seize Australia and New Zealand, then on the premise of retaining commercial privileges, The Japanese government could consider granting Korea the right to independence, and it seems to me that the Japanese minister is sincere in saying that if Korea wants to become independent as soon as possible, it must ensure that Japan first seizes Australia and New Zealand.
I've called you here today to discuss this matter with you. ”
"This is a Japanese matter, so what does it have to do with the Koreans?" Park Chang-so was a little strange.
"Of course it does.
In the current Japanese army, there are Korean troops, the soldiers are all Koreans, and the officers are Japanese, so if Japan really wants to attack Australia, the Korean troops will definitely be able to land in Australia with the Japanese army and assist the Japanese army in the war.
Changxiu, you have a lot of military experience, and you have the ability to command a large army to fight, and now the Japanese government plans to expand the Korean army, and there is a shortage of enough senior Korean officers, I plan to recommend you to the Japanese army, are you willing? "Isn't that a puppet army? I'm not going. ”
"Don't say no just yet.
The puppet army is still the 'Imperial Cooperative Army', for the Koreans, this is actually just a name, you can completely regard this as a 'curve to save the country', help the Japanese army conquer Australia as soon as possible, so that your motherland can be dragged away from Japan's military colonial rule as soon as possible, and achieve the goal of national independence, this is what a doer should do, not like the exiled politicians of the 'Independent State of Korea', running around the world with slogans to save the country.
Of course, I recommend you to serve in the Japanese army, this is just my suggestion, the choice is still in your hands, you can go if you want, and I am not reluctant to go if you don't want to. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Bei stopped and stared at Park Changxiu's face to see how he answered.
As a matter of fact, there are still quite a few Koreans in exile with military talents like Park Chang-so, some in the Far Eastern Republic, some in China, and they are still engaged in anti-Japanese activities, but because the Chinese Government has taken a non-cooperative stance on this issue, these Korean patriots can no longer carry out armed attacks against Japan as brazenly as they did 20 years ago, and they cannot even gain a foothold on the Korean Peninsula, and even the neutral zone on the Yalu River has now become a real "neutral zone," and there are no anti-Japanese forces there.
The reason why Zhao Bei sent these Korean exiles with military talents to the Korean troops in Japan is more important because of the long-term strategy and the layout in advance, and the so-called "curve to save the country" is just a slogan to fool these Korean patriots, whether the DPRK is independent or not, Zhao Bei does not care, he cares about China's strategic advantage on the Korean Peninsula after the end of the world war, and if we want to get this strategic advantage, we must make a layout in advance, and start the layout now.
Cho Buk's suggestion was very "outlandish", which made Park Changxiu fall into deep thought, and he pondered for almost five minutes before making up his mind.
"Well, please recommend me to the Japanese army, and I will command the Korean troops to fight."
Park Chang-so has been in the mercenary group for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is much stronger than ordinary people, he knows very well what kind of person is sitting on the sand opposite, and the other party can free him from the guns of the military court at will, but he can also immediately order the adjutant to drag him out and kill him, such a military and political strongman's "advice" is not a suggestion, but an order, a real order.
"Very good, I will immediately ask someone to arrange, you have a day off, and the day after tomorrow will set off, first to Tianjin, and then to the southern region of North Korea to gather, in Tianjin, you will meet many Korean officers, who, like you, are also going to save the country."
Cho stood up, shook hands with Park Chang-so, and then instructed the adjutant to send the North Korean mercenary out of the office.
The adjutant left on the front foot, and on the back foot stepped in a female secretary in an army uniform, holding a copy of a telegram in her hand.
"Mr. President, this is a telegram taken by Mrs., the eldest prince has returned from the Spanish battlefield without damage, and he has also brought back a Chinese daughter-in-law to Mr. President."
The female secretary handed the telegram transcript to Zhao Bei and looked at Mr. President's face with a smile.
"Okay, this kid has a peculiar taste, I found a fake foreign woman, I just don't know if I can speak Chinese? When I return to Beijing, I must test her Chinese culture in person. ”
Zhao Bei read the telegram and smiled faintly, although he was in a happy mood on the surface, but there was a hint of heaviness in his heart, Zhao Qiwen returned to China at this time not sooner or later, although he was far away from the Spanish battlefield, but this battle for the liberation of Asia may have caught up.
Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, worrying about everything, this is all of Zhao Bei's state of mind now.
