From the coast of Guangxi in the south to the coast of Fujian in the north, a large number of ships are moored at many wharves in China, and countless soldiers are lining up for merchant ships.

"Quick! Fast!!! On the wharf, the shouts of the officers were constantly heard, and countless soldiers in full armor flocked to the ship, and not far away, there were also some wharves that were quickly carrying supplies to the ship, and some of the troop carriers and supply ships that had been prepared were waiting in the offshore waters, and there were several warships cruising back and forth on the side.

In the vast South China Sea, there are already many fleets moving forward with cleaving waves, and the distance is about two hours.

Although China has made strategic arrangements, it is not completely ready after all, so the army received an order to board the ship temporarily, but fortunately, some materials have just arrived on the ship, and they have not had time to unload, and just some of the materials that can be used directly set off with the army. Of course, at the forefront are of course the main fleet of the navy and the marines accompanying the army, and it is naturally the marines who are responsible for the beach-rushing landing.

Over the entire South China Sea, China's reconnaissance planes searched the sea surface in an almost dragnet style, and when they found that the enemy ships naturally called in naval aviation to deal with them, they directly sank them without saying a word. After all, the scale of China's navy is not large, and the main force is also responsible for covering the landing operation, and there are not too many warships to escort the troop carriers and supply ships advancing in batches, and a fleet is only two or three search warships and a few small patrol ships, if it is attacked by enemy warships, it will be extremely dangerous, you must know that there are nearly 50,000 troops on a fleet of troop carriers, and if they are attacked, how many people will have to die?

The southward landing operation of Plan 2 has to be said to be very risky, at least on the surface. The core problem is that China does not have a large enough naval fleet. In fact, Li Bufan and others are quite confident, believing that the air force can also ensure safety on the water, and underwater safety can also be guaranteed when the escort warships are equipped with sonar radars.

Plan No. 2 is also called "Thunder Plan", that is, once it begins, it will strike a thunderous blow at the military forces of the great powers in the Far East, directly knocking them out, stunning, and collapsing. The cannon fodder corps that destroyed the great powers and fought a war of attrition directly with the white troops was not a material attrition, but a war of attrition of troops. It's about casualty bearing.

Project 2's casualty tolerance sounds extremely cruel. But it is the best choice for China. China is a unified country with a large population that can afford casualties. After all, at this time, China has not completely solved the problem of food and clothing, and Su Ri'an is much better than before. But it is still an era when human life is cheap. Being able to die and be happy with the whole family is still a choice that many people are willing to choose. There are so many benefits, and when possible, it is natural that they are distributed first to the people and families who have contributed.

And after the world war and the Spanish flu, the great powers have suffered indescribable casualties. Opposition to war and fear of death is the context of this era. But are there really few people among the great powers? Of course not, the population of this era is more than 1.7 billion, and the population under the control of the great powers is about one billion, if the other side is given time to mobilize enough colonial legions, I am afraid that China will not be able to afford it. The people that the great powers cannot afford to lose refer to the white people, and for this reason, the goal of the war of attrition planned by Li Bufan and others is also aimed at the white army.

As for fighting others, China can't afford to fight them. For example, to fight for materials, China's current industrial capacity is only almost one-twentieth of that of the great powers, how to fight? If you want to win the war, in addition to strategic planning, you must also attack the enemy with the strength and the shortcomings of the powers, that is, the white man cannot afford to die.

Britain, France, and the United States were bombed on important military sites, and the border was violently attacked by the Chinese army, which was quickly transmitted through radio throughout the European and American world, shocking the whole world.

A terrible howl rang out from the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street, London, England.

"Damn it, damn the Chinese, they must be punished the most" McDonald roared angrily in the prime minister's office, just now he had urgently ordered Smith to inform the embassy in China and give notice of an emergency meeting.

There were three knocks on the door, and MacDonald said angrily, "Don't you see I'm angry?" I was called at the beginning of the meeting. When he turned around, he saw that it was Baldwin and Churchill, the leader of the Conservative Party, and said dejectedly, "You are here, please sit down." ”

Baldwin was surprised, "What makes you so angry?" Is it the war in Tokyo Bay? ”

MacDonald said bitterly: "I think everyone is mentally prepared for the ending of the war in Tokyo Bay." After a pause, he smiled miserably, "It's the Combined Fleet, Da Nang was attacked by hundreds of Chinese planes, and the Combined Fleet was completely annihilated." Admiral Evel sent a farewell message and committed suicide. ”

"Ah!!h Baldwin and Churchill were shocked, they didn't know about it.

Churchill exclaimed anxiously: "How is this possible? The Combined Fleet has sixteen capital ships, most of which are the most advanced warships, and a huge fleet of 150 warships! How long has it been since the Gulf of Tokyo War broke out? Three hours? How could such a huge fleet be wiped out in three hours? ”

MacDonald said bitterly: "Not only that, but the Philippines of the Americans was also bombed devastatingly, and the thousands of artillery pieces, two million shells, hundreds of planes, thousands of cars, and countless supplies they sent to the Philippines were all destroyed. North Vietnam, which was colonized by the French Annam, was attacked by a large-scale all-out attack by Chinese elite troops from Guangxi and western Yunnan, and all strategic points, material reserve warehouses, artillery positions and other important targets in the entire north of Vietnam were bombed. ”

Baldwin and Churchill looked at each other in fear at this moment. Baldwin hurriedly asked, "Burma was not attacked?" ”

"How is that possible?" MacDonald said decadently, "Not only Burma, but also the Assam region was devastated, and the Chinese announced at the same time that they would not recognize the dynasty from the Siamese coup d'état, and decided to help the descendants of King Zheng in their hands to restore the country, and the army marched all the way along the railway kilometers into Siam." The French government has just called and is going crazy. ”

Baldwin and Churchill's faces were extremely ugly, this is absolutely an all-out attack, and the Chinese are obviously not even ready to talk about it, at least they are talking about it, which is completely tearing their faces without leaving any room for it. The war came too quickly, far beyond their expectations, Churchill thought that the Chinese side would prepare for three years, Baldwin expected a year, but they were all wrong, only three months had passed, and the Chinese had already come to the door.

They can imagine that the French are going crazy, not to mention that the French Far East sent a fleet and the Far East Fleet were completely annihilated, and not to mention that Annam was attacked, just to say that the Chinese launched an attack on Siam, it is completely conceivable that the Chinese have a strategic purpose in doing so. There was only one purpose - to divide and eat French Annam. If the Chinese air force is really so powerful, the French Annan is equivalent to completely helpless, then the hundreds of thousands of colonial legions could not be the opponent of China's millions of troops, Siam was captured by the Chinese side, there is no way to escape by land, if the Chinese air force is really so powerful, even if it sends warships to rescue, it is almost impossible to return, only to increase losses.

Baldwin and Churchill glanced at each other with a look of joy. In fact, they are already planning to overthrow MacDonald, and the Conservative Party is ready to return to power to form a government, but fortunately not, otherwise such a big loss will have to be borne by the Conservative Party, you must know that the British Empire has six of the sixteen capital ships of the United Fleet, and three of them are currently the most advanced "Queen Elizabeth-class battleships" in Britain, and with such a big loss, it is impossible for the ruling party to obtain the approval of the Royal Navy no matter what it does for at least ten years, and it is definitely an unforgivable mistake for Britain.

Baldwin sighed and said, "It seems that the Chinese are going to declare war on us." ”

"No!" A voice came from outside the prime minister's office, and they looked back to see a foreign minister and several parliamentarians holding documents, and the foreign minister said, "The Chinese have declared war, and this is the credential that their embassy just handed over." As he spoke, he raised the document in his hand.

“”――

The port of Hue was quiet and heavily guarded, and Da Nang was subjected to a massive air raid by the Chinese Air Force, which filled all French soldiers with suffocating pressure.

"Sir, look!" A French soldier shouted, pointing to the distant sea.

A lieutenant colonel officer of the French army looked at it, where the sky was filled with a smoke screen, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly took the telescope to look at it, and was taken aback, more than a dozen warships were heading in the direction of Hue port, and the military flag on it was the Chinese five-color flag.

"Battle Alert!" With the terrible scream, the pier instantly sounded a terrible alarm, and the entire dock was in a panic, and even several soldiers peed their pants directly.

The French lieutenant colonel was furious: "Idiot, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just the Chinese coming? We had fortress batteries, and they did not dare to attack. ”

A French soldier with a pale face pointed to the fortress battery and said, "Sir, do you expect to use the old guys of the last world to deal with the new warships of the Chinese?" That's sending us to death. How powerful the Chinese are, you don't know. ”

The lieutenant colonel of the French army said angrily: "Are the Chinese very powerful?" Back then, we were able to capture their capital with a single foreign rifle team. ”

The soldier shrugged and said, "Sir, don't be funny, that's the old yellow calendar of the previous world." Don't you know about the encirclement and suppression of the indigenous Ho Chi Minh rebels in the west? How powerful are those Chinese officers? Everybody killed at least one of our battalions. Sir, it's a battalion. ”

"You" lieutenant colonel officer was so angry that he couldn't speak, his eyes became flickering, and he couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart when he remembered the original battle.

The soldier said, "You remember." Among them, there was also an officer surnamed Li, the commander wanted to capture him alive, but he was killed by more than 300 people with his bare hands, and in the end he couldn't help but shoot him, otherwise I don't know how many people would die. I understand at least one truth, this kind of officer sent out can only be regarded as average, not to lose face and not to teach others too badly, the best of course kept for myself. Just our regiment, a few guys who rush up to others, we're all finished. ”
