"Our main enemy has always been the United States, as long as the United States is defeated, it will be a matter of time before China becomes the center of the world again in the future, and at that time, it will be easy to solve Tsarist Russia, even if we fight a war of attrition with them, we can afford to spend it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And if now we are fighting a war of attrition with Russia, but let the Americans sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it will be an unforgivable and serious mistake! Li Hui explained China's war strategy very thoroughly in just a few sentences, and this fundamental issue was first understood, and the specific fighting methods and tactics were easily deduced.

"In addition, new weapons and new tactics are most effective in the early stages of the war, and the enemy is not so powerful after they understand it, so in order to strike the United States as much as possible, we must adopt an aggressive offensive strategy." , Li Hui's words made War Minister Cheng Tianshu very puzzled, why did he take the initiative to attack when he was obviously short of troops?

Hearing this old subordinate's question, Li Hui couldn't help but shake his head, obviously this guy has already made such an example in practice, it seems that not everyone can elevate practical experience to theory. There was no way, Li Hui had to explain again, "Because the attacking side can concentrate the use of troops!" When we first started the revolution, our troops were actually very limited, didn't we just attack and defend, and quickly collapsed the rule of the Manchus? At that time, the founding emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi, was able to win the battle of Sarhu, and it was also because he adhered to the correct strategy, 'Depending on how many ways you come, I will only go all the way.' Concentrate superior forces to actively attack and defeat the scattered Ming army. Therefore, there is 'the rule is insufficient, and the offense is more than enough.' This sentence can be said both positively and negatively, one applies to the whole situation, and the other applies to the local ......"

"I see, what you mean by the Führer is that we must take the initiative to find fighters, and not passively defend and wait for the enemy to attack." , Yan Fu, chief of the General Staff, has never commanded actual combat, but he was the first to understand what Li Hui meant, and it is in vain that the two have been friends for many years.

Li Hui smiled and nodded in affirmation, and at the same time added two sentences by the way, "In fact, if the war against Russia starts, we must also adhere to this principle in terms of tactics, defensive counterattack is not equal to passive defense, let alone rigid holding the position, but to give full play to the intelligence advantages of internal operations, to find and create opportunities to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy in the movement, and to destroy the living forces of the Russian army in the field battle......"

"With the United States, we must not only take the initiative to attack tactically, but also be aggressive strategically, right?" , Liu Buyun's understanding is still good, and he understands it first, but he still has a question, "But if the U.S. military also adopts the same strategy and invades our territory on a large scale, what should we do?" ”

"Leave him alone!" , Li Hui's answer made everyone stunned, and it was not until he explained further that he understood, indeed, as Li Hui said, although Western Canada is very large, but the real important thing is only Vancouver, and it doesn't matter if other areas are temporarily occupied by the Americans, as long as Vancouver is not lost, the Chinese army will have a foothold and forward base on the North American continent......

"Especially Vancouver is still a port city, and our navy firmly controls the sea, so the US military not only can't form a joint siege, but also has to face the shelling of our warships when attacking the city, and the Americans have invested too much, which is purely to send people to the navy, and if the investment is less, it will become a refueling tactic, and hundreds of thousands of people don't want to take Vancouver...... " Li Hui said this, and couldn't help but laugh maliciously, "With our firepower advantage, A full infantry brigade should be enough for Vancouver, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to keep a mountain division, which is also very good at fighting below the regimental level, so that I don't have to worry about the back road anyway. The remaining 200,000 troops can be fully committed to the attack, which is enough for the Americans to suffer......"

At this point in the meeting, everything that should be discussed has been almost discussed, the resolutions that should be made have been made, and then the specific military plan is next, so those who have nothing to do with it have left the venue one after another, and there are only less than 10 senior cadres such as the military secretary, the finance minister, and the foreign minister, waiting for Li Hui to assign tasks.

In fact, most of the troops used in the North American battlefield and to defend against Tsarist Russia have been arranged in advance, for example, the Fourth Mountain Division used by Li Hui to defend Vancouver had been stationed in the city three years ago, and he knew the environment in and around the city well, so it was naturally not difficult to be impeccable. The 1st, 2nd, and 5th Mountain Divisions were also deployed to Cranbrook, a small town in the Great Valley on the western side of the Rocky Mountains (which is now considered a medium-sized city, but by Canadian standards, this prosperity is destined to be unsustainable, and when the troops leave, they will soon be beaten back to their original shape). Through long-term training and frequent exercises in the Rocky Mountains, Li Hui believes they can accomplish the critical mission of moving south to cut off the five American railroad lines that run east and west.

Because the technology of automobiles, especially trucks, is still immature, and the Panama Canal is controlled by China, transportation between the east and west of the United States is completely dependent on the five trans-east-west railroads, and as long as they can be cut off, the area west of the Rocky Mountains with an incomplete industrial system will be in great trouble.

At that time, the US Government has two choices: First, the troops on the west coast of the United States will not move, and only mobilize the troops in the Mississippi River valley to move westward in order to open up the interrupted railway line, so that the three Chinese mountain divisions going south can rely on the advantages of the terrain to withstand the enemy's attack for a long time and inflict heavy casualties on them; at the same time, the supply of US troops on the west coast is insufficient, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly affected after a long time. The three central cities of San Francisco and Seattle have been conquered one by one, and they concentrate most of the industry and more than forty percent of the population of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains.

However, Li Hui estimates that the US government will not be so conservative, after all, the current US president is Theodore Roosevelt, so it is more likely that the United States should mobilize the troops stationed on the west coast to move eastward and attack the three mountain divisions on both sides with the eastern army......
