Chapter 428: Last Chance

The turmoil that occurred in the imperial capital was not widely publicized, and was confined to a certain range under Zhang Cheng's intentional control. However, this matter was not easily let go by Zhang Cheng because www.biquge.info of the small loss caused. Many of those involved in the matter were arrested and tried on charges of treason. Subsequently, most of the families of these people were sent to Siberia to cut timber, and it is expected that they will never return to their homeland again in their lives.

General He Ziqiu, one of the main participants in this incident, because of his status and prestige in the army, and most importantly, he chose to commit suicide to protect his reputation, so He Ziqiu barely had a good end. The other major player, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, was not arrested and tried, but was placed under house arrest in the palace. According to Zhang Cheng's arrangement, His Majesty the Emperor would remain under house arrest until the end of the war and his abdication, after which he would be sent out of the palace to spend the rest of his life as a commoner. The centuries-old Ming royal family is about to retire. Many people have already begun to unite and prepare to ask Zhang Cheng to succeed the royal family. In response, Zhang Cheng's response was to crack down.

As for the foreign forces involved in this matter, they were wiped out against the background that Wang Yan and Xiao Hongbao had already been laid out for a long time. In Zhang Cheng's eyes, this incident was a decoy, seducing forces from all sides. Those forces that jumped up and down and jumped up, as long as they came out, were all wiped out. Zhang Cheng has never been soft on his opponents.

In the past three days of the incident, there has been a marked increase in the number of trains and transport planes sent from the imperial capital to the north. And many of the hidden military bases in the suburbs are regularly shot out. It was a large number of arrested people who were shot. Regarding this incident, Zhang Cheng has a line in his heart. Those who crossed the line were shot, and those who did not were sent to Siberia to serve hard labor. As long as they are involved, no one can get away with it.

After He Ziqiu and some of the forces in the army that resisted Zhang Cheng were destroyed, all the mountain forces in the entire army were silent. He Ziqiu's mountain is definitely a very powerful force in the army, but aren't they still easily leveled? Do the others still have the power to resist?

In this case, except for those who have already been named by Zhang Cheng and have no way out. All forces in the army surrendered their sincerity to Zhang Cheng and expressed their sincere convincing. Zhang Cheng knew that it was impossible to be completely clear about the forces in the army, after all, where there were people, there would be rivers and lakes, and there would be disputes. In fact, Zhang Cheng himself is the largest mountain force in the army, but he is executing it in the name of the country.

It's still a time of war, and even if Zhang Cheng wants to clean up one side thoroughly, he can't directly come to the side. After all, there is still a war, and the main forces should be external. Zhang Cheng accepted the sincere surrender of the forces of all parties, but he did not relax the degree of covert disintegration of the forces of all parties. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but no one dares to take the initiative to resist. What happened to those who took the initiative to resist, everyone has now seen.

Zhang Cheng was now finally able to concentrate all his forces into this war. In order to do this, he has been working hard for almost three years. Next, Zhang Cheng's main goal was to lead the Ming Empire to victory in this war.

The domestic affairs were basically handed over to Wang Fan to handle, and all the forces of all parties had fully surrendered to Zhang Cheng at this moment. After settling down in the country, Zhang Cheng began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the war. In Zhang Cheng's eyes, the place that can really determine the direction of this war is on the Russian battlefield.

......

"How does it feel?" Zhang Cheng held two glasses of wine in his hand and came to the sofa with a smile and sat down.

"Good, very good." Lu Zhiyuan leaned over and took the wine glass from Zhang Cheng's hand, and said with a smile, "I feel that I am full of energy, and I can enter the battlefield at any time." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded: "This time I went to the Russian battlefield, I want to try to get the Russians out of the war within a year." That way we'll have enough time to sweep away all the enemies. ”

After the incident, the Russian battlefield, which Zhang Cheng attached great importance to, naturally experienced a large-scale clean-up operation. He Ziqiu's power was uprooted, and Zhang Cheng personally served as the supreme commander of the Russian theater of operations. Because this theater is very important and there are many troops, it is difficult for ordinary officers to fully grasp the strength of the entire theater at once, and they need time to readjust their deployment. But Zhang Cheng was not willing to waste time. So he decided to make himself the commander of the Russian theater of operations, so that no one would oppose him. After all, the generals in Zhang Cheng's hands are relatively poor in terms of qualifications.

However, Zhang Cheng could not stay on the Russian battlefield for a long time, so Zhang Cheng fulfilled his previous promise to Lu Zhiyuan and transferred him from the position of commander of the imperial capital garrison to the front line and served as the chief of staff of the Russian theater. When Zhang Cheng left the Russian theater, he was responsible for commanding the troops to fight. The reason why he was not directly made the commander, but was made by Zhang Cheng. That's because the edge of the road is too young and not enough in terms of qualifications.

Seniority is a very useful thing in many cases. In the centuries-old Ming Army, even if Lu Zhiyuan was forcibly appointed as the commander of the Russian theater under Zhang Cheng's arrangement, he would inevitably be resisted. It's something that can't be avoided. Even Zhang Cheng couldn't forcibly change the will of so many people.

As for why Zhang Cheng was so urgent about time and wanted to end the war as quickly as possible. The main reason is that Wang Yan has obtained the latest information through the moles he arranged in the United States, and the Americans have greatly increased their investment in the research and development of the ultimate weapon.

Although Zhang Cheng had already ordered Wang Yan to carry out the assassination of the nuclear weapons experts of the allies and the destruction of important facilities. But good people can't be killed, and destroyed equipment can be rebuilt. Coupled with the constant defeats on the front, it has become clear to the Allied top brass that this great war will most likely end with their defeat.

No one wants to be defeated, because that would mean they would lose everything, including their own lives. Daming can plant high-level moles in allies, and allies can also plant high-level moles in Daming. There will never be a shortage of people in this world who sell everything for various interests. The news that the Ming Dynasty is fully committed to developing nuclear fission weapons is not too closed news for the allies. After all, the scale of this project is simply too large.

After consulting with experts, the allies immediately increased their investment in nuclear weapons programs and security efforts. They also want to have this superweapon. Whether it is used to defeat the Ming army and win the war, or to use it to deter after the Ming army also has it, so as to be able to end the war with dignity, it is extremely important.

The level of science and technology of nuclear weapons is very high, but it is not very high. As long as there is sufficient investment, it is still only a matter of time before it is developed at the level of science and technology of the allies. Therefore, what Zhang Cheng is pursuing now is time!

Once Pandora's box is opened, even if the Ming army is strong enough to sweep the world, Zhang Cheng will have to stop himself in front of the countries with nuclear weapons. This war can be called the last chance to divide the world's territory and power map. It was also the last chance to bring the whole world together under one banner. Zhang Cheng, who came to this era through this incredible event, said that he was not willing to give up this opportunity!

Zhang Cheng knew very well in his heart that if he was forced to stop the war because the allies possessed nuclear weapons. The armistice means that the world will no longer have the opportunity to concentrate all its forces into space and find a new future for humanity. Over time, countries will inevitably make every effort to stockpile and increase the number and power of nuclear weapons. Under nuclear deterrence, the last hope will be completely lost.

Zhang Cheng is determined to fight hard at all costs for what may be the last chance!

Wang Yan and Xiao Hongbao had already received Zhang Cheng's harshest order to delay and sabotage the allies' nuclear weapons program at all costs. It is permissible to pay any price for this.

But intelligence alone cannot eliminate this threat, and it is on the battlefield that can really decide everything. For this reason, Zhang Cheng even did not hesitate to hand over the important work to his subordinates, giving up this right to strengthen himself, and even had the opportunity to replace the entire Ming royal family on the battlefield in person.

"It's already May." Zhang Cheng leaned back on the back of the sofa and looked at the edge of the road with deep eyes, "Summer in Russia is very short, we can't continue to waste time." I have asked the General Staff to immediately come up with an offensive plan, and this summer offensive must take Moscow! ”

Although I don't understand why Zhang Cheng is so radical and values time so much. However, Lu Zhiyuan still nodded very solemnly in response: "Yes, Your Excellency, I promise you that you will take Moscow before the end of the year." ”

"It's not the end of the year." Zhang Cheng's words made Lu Zhiyuan stunned.

"At the end of the year, I'm going to launch another winter offensive, so you have to take Moscow by the end of October at the latest. Otherwise, it will affect the preparation of the winter offensive. Zhang Cheng's words immediately made Lu Zhiyuan's head as big as a fight, and his heart was full of shock.

The importance of the Russian battlefield was not unique to the Ming Dynasty. The allies also saw it very clearly. As a logistical base for the Allies, more than seventy percent of the support supplies the Americans sent to various battlefields were sent to the Russian battlefield.

Germany, France, and other allies, large and small, sent large numbers of main forces to fight side by side with tens of millions of Russian troops on the Russian battlefield. Even the British, who were islands, sent their own expeditionary force, which shows how seriously the Allies attached to the Russian battlefield. (To be continued.) )
