ZTE fifteenth year, December 29.

In the Forbidden City of Hanjing, Jiang Baili, Cai Yi, the ministers of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the National Defense Army, as well as high-ranking military officials, as well as the Imperial Prime Minister of the Interior Wei Ren, Vice Premier Zhong Li, and high-level government personnel gathered in the Qinzheng Palace, waiting for Chen Shao to come out after the end of his confinement.

Outside the confinement room, Xie Yuxin and Liu Feiya were already waiting outside the door.

As soon as eight o'clock in the morning arrived, the door of the confinement room opened on time, and Chen Shao's figure also appeared at the door.

"Yuxin, I put you in danger a while ago, it's my husband's fault, and my husband didn't fulfill his obligation to protect and be thoughtful." After getting used to the brightness outside, Chen Shao immediately came to Xie Yuxin's side and said softly.

"It doesn't matter, don't I have nothing to do?" Xie Yuxin shook her head, approached and touched Chen Shao's somewhat pale cheeks because he hadn't seen the sun for a month.

"The husband is the lord of a country, please don't punish yourself like this next time, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day,......"

"Let your worries, there will be no next time." Before Liu Feiya could finish speaking, Chen Shao opened his mouth and promised. In the past month, he has thought a lot, carefully considered his past experience and handling methods, and found many problems. After a month of confinement, he didn't get nothing. At least, he believes, the enemy will never be given much chance again.

"That's good, although my sister and I are women, we all know that winning and losing is a common thing in soldiers, and sometimes a little setback is a very valuable experience." Liu Feiya comforted.

Chen Shao did not speak, but put his arms around his two wives. In fact, he should have comforted the two of them. I didn't expect them to comfort me. Chen Shao had no extra words at this time, and showed his mind with actions.

The three of them got together for a while, and then, accompanied by Wang Jie, Chen Shao walked directly to the Qinzheng Palace.

When Chen Shao's figure appeared at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, everyone waiting inside got up at the same time and said respectfully: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"Sit down!" Chen Shao waved his hand and walked straight to the main seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone began to sit down in turn, but Chen Shao did not sit down. Instead, stand in front of your seat. Looking at the imperial high-ranking in the Qinzheng Palace.

The atmosphere began to become a little silent, the wind howled outside, and the snow fell again. The heating system inside the Qinzheng Hall isolates the cold winter outside. Warmth surrounded everyone.

After a long time. Chen Shaocai broke the calm.

"I haven't seen you for a month. It seems that everyone seems to be a lot haggard, I am not in this month, are you not sleeping on time? ”

"Your Majesty is not in this month. We didn't dare to relax in the slightest, for fear that something would go wrong, so we were all a little busier and a little tired. Wei Ren got up and spoke, although Chen Shao's words revealed a trace of unhappiness. But they were only deeply moved in their hearts.

"I won't go into this question, but remember, you are the pillars of the Empire. The body is the biggest capital in life, and it is necessary to rest on time. There are things that can't be done every day, so don't you have to rest every day. The combination of work and rest is the foundation of long-term development. After entering the Qinzheng Palace, Chen Shao saw that many people's faces had eye bags, and the expressions on their faces were also full of exhaustion. He knew that he was not in this month, and these old fellows must be working day and night. Although he had long demanded that he must rest on time. But seeing their expressions, he couldn't really punish them. After all, their starting point is also for the great cause of this country and this nation. However, a warning is inevitable.

"I thank Your Majesty for your concern, but please rest assured, we are still strong and strong, and now we can't see the empire really standing on top of the world, and we will not fall." Jiang Baili got up and said.

"Okay, I know they're all healthy, but time is like a knife!" Chen Shao shook his head and sighed with emotion. Then he changed the topic and continued: "Now let's talk about what needs to be reported. Weiren, you come first. ”

"Yes!" Hearing Chen Shao's roll call, Wei Ren immediately got up and said: "The year-end summary meeting of the fifteenth year of Zhongxing will be held the day after tomorrow, and I have already made a table of the details of this year's finances and various government affairs, please ask Your Majesty to take a look."

Work has already begun on the planning of provinces and cities in Southeast Asia, and a large number of ethnic groups in Southeast Asia in the pilot cities have begun to return to their ancestral lands to help government workers carry out this work.

At present, the civilians in Southeast Asia have a good voice for the imperial army, and the military's policy of not disturbing the people has won a lot of praise, and there is not much obstacle to planning the work of provinces and cities and the issue of civilian identity registration. ”

After speaking, Wei Ren took out a document from the conference table in front of him and handed it to Wang Jie.

"I will look at it as soon as possible, and the monitoring of public opinion in Southeast Asia must be implemented as soon as possible, and at the same time, the government departments must immediately start reconstruction work. Coordinate more with the military, let the armed police and police forces be more careful, and resolutely do not have malicious bloodshed and casualties. The small group of resistance elements that have swooped into the jungle should also be searched out as soon as possible. The natives of Southeast Asia, those who have any bad deeds, cannot be spared, and they are condemned for crimes according to the laws of the empire. Chen Shao nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"I see, there's nothing else." Viren shook his head and sat down slowly.

Zhongli stood up directly and said, "The Allies have made a big noise in the international community, criticizing our bombing of the four Japanese islands and denouncing our violations of humanity and moralism.

The German ambassador to our country presented his credentials two days ago to convey Hitler's request that we be able to increase arms exports to Germany. In particular, we use cloudburst bombs and incendiary bombs on the Japanese, and Germany claims that it will purchase them in large quantities at a high price. ”

This matter was handed over to Zhang Xueliang to deal with, and the General Armament Department was asked to draw up a data as soon as possible, calculate the proportion of production and consumption, and sell it to Germany as appropriate. As for the foreign news media, there is no need to deal with it. It's enough to do our own thing. Chen Shao said.

"I'll give the order right away." Zhang Xueliang, who had just become the head of the General Armament Department, immediately got up and said.

After that, the senior officials of the internal affairs department of the Chinese Empire got up in turn and reported to Chen Shao the problems that had arisen in the past month, and soon it was the turn of the military.

As the head of the General Staff and chief of the general staff of the three armed services, Jiang Baili took the lead in getting up and said: "The fighting in the Southeast Asian Theater has subsided, and the Southeast Asian Theater and the First Division of the Marine Corps are now really conducting joint exercises. The Pacific Theater of Operations officially completed the occupation of the Mariana Islands yesterday. Currently, the Pacific theater of operations is preparing for the next stage of the offensive.

The four major theaters, namely the Northeast Theater, the Siberian Theater, the Western Theater, and the Southern Theater, have completed all logistical distribution work. All kinds of new weapons and equipment are in place, and tactical drills are underway at this time. ”

As soon as Jiang Baili's voice fell, Cai Ye continued: "The War Department has formulated the next phase of the action plan for the multiple theaters, and the plan has been submitted to wait for His Majesty's imperial review.

The war in the Middle East has begun, and the Arabian Peninsula has concentrated nearly a million allied troops, and the large army is currently attacking Iraq. Jewish and Iranian troops have entered Iraq to help defend itself against the Allied attack. At present, the fighting between the two sides is in a stalemate.

The Germans in Turkey had the idea of helping, but they were refused. After the rejection, Germany also tried to win over Iraq and Iran to join the Axis powers. However, they were all rejected. Germany was forced by our attitude and did not act persecutively.

In Afghanistan, Soviet troops have begun to withdraw northward, and are now concentrated in the western part of China's Xinjiang border. General Zhang Zizhong, commander of the Western Theater of Operations, has repeatedly asked for war, but all of them have been shelved. ”

Chen Fuqin, Minister of the Army, Qian Pengfei, Minister of the Air Force, and Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy, also made brief reports.

After listening to the reports of Jiang Baili, Cai Yi and other military generals, Chen Shao nodded and said: "It has been more than half a year since the empire joined the war, and such a result has been achieved, which cannot be said to be small or very big. The north is now in the midst of a cold winter, which is not conducive to large-scale military operations. However, this situation will change after the beginning of spring. The three military districts in the north must always be ready to attack at any time. At the same time, he warned the commanders of the three theaters not to worry about not fighting, and when the weather warms up, they will be busy.

In the Middle East, let the Western Theater pay more attention. Their enemy was not the USSR in the North, but the West.

The Southeast Asian Theater and the Pacific Theater should be warned not to be complacent because of a little achievement. Although the Pacific Theater had occupied the Philippines and the Mariana Islands, in the south, large areas were under the control of the Allies. Now we must not allow the Allies to take a breather, and if they do not die, they will suffer from it. Winter is the best time for an offensive in the south, and I told Du Yuming and Qian Sihai that before the end of next spring, I want to see a plan to attack Australia and India.

At the same time, although our air force has carried out devastating bombing of the Japanese mainland for three consecutive days, the Japanese nation is a country with a strong sense of revenge. Coupled with the help of the United States in the back, we also have to be careful of being bitten back. From now on, all provinces within the empire, especially in all provinces near the east, must organize the people to conduct an air defense drill every week, shore-based radars and early warning aircraft must be on high alert, and shore air defense forces and land-based air defense units must be on standby 24 hours a day. ”

From the moment Chen Shao issued an air attack on Japan, he predicted that Japan would never let China go. With the support of the United States, it will definitely retaliate against China's homeland. Chen Shao knew very well that if he wanted to use such bombing to force Japan to surrender, it could only be delusional. In this case, the eastern sky will definitely not be calm.
