350 Complicated affairs

PS: Thank you dongdajie, ruoliuc, and harrison for the monthly passes

There are some things that Li Guang can decide immediately, but there are some things that Li Guang can't decide. The topic is too big to think clearly at once, so you can only start to do it with a clear idea.

Li Guang has more and more understanding that his role is destined for him not to be just a soldier. In fact, it was Li Guang's misunderstanding that it was impossible for all high-ranking generals to devote their energy to military command. Some military personnel are diplomats themselves, such as Eisenhower, the leading figure of the United States in Europe.

Li Guang's long test still has a role. He figured out one thing, the Haitang Kingdom had already offended the French. After the end of World War II, I am afraid that a war will inevitably be inevitable, and the Haitang Kingdom and France will definitely meet each other. In that case, let's offend to the end.

So, he ordered Bai Chongfu to lead the amphibious battalion troops, with the support of an old cruiser, to quickly clear the French colonies around Madagascar.

The rise of a country cannot be smooth sailing, and this very likely war is the inevitable price of the establishment of the Haitang State in Madagascar. In the past, Li Guang and Premier Yuan Ye had expectations on this point. But who really wants to face a post-war France?

France and England were weakened after World War II. But it is not vulnerable, and the combat effectiveness is still quite strong. In fact, even in the 21st century, China has an aircraft carrier, and its GDP is the second in the world. There are still military experts who comment that Britain is in a head-to-head battle in the same area as the mainland, and the British may win despite their small forces.

Today, Li Guang has also figured it out and embarked on this road, and if the Haitang Kingdom wants to gain a firm foothold, war is inevitable, and even with today's allies. Just rely on taking sides. Being a big country is not enough to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country.

Forty-two years, mid-year. Only then did Li Guang really make up his mind. Another article has been added to the long-term strategy of the Haitang Kingdom.

On the Tang port side, since the Japanese army landed in Ceylon. Overseas Chinese from all over Ceylon began to move to Tang Port. The Maritime Resistance Army is the backbone of overseas Chinese and the protector. Bao Gang gathered nearly 20,000 overseas Chinese, obtained a large amount of materials, including more than 2,000 tons of rubber, and demanded that a ship be sent to Madagascar immediately. There was one thing that made Li Guang a little interested, the Jews of the artillery factory, the Belgians and the Chinese businessmen, did not even propose to retreat together. Still maintaining production in a state of war. Whatever the reason, but it was quite beneficial to Bao Gang, at least not short of ammunition.

In Kolkata, more than 20,000 peasant soldiers who had been transferred from the country had been blocked in a foreign land for more than a month, and there was no guarantee of safety. It also needs to be transported to Vladivostok immediately. This order was slightly distorted in its execution, and more than 20,000 peasants were brought back. There are also more than 10,000 Bangladeshi women. Bangladesh is in the midst of a massive famine. A little food can get a young girl. Women are in dire need in Uruguay or Vladivostok, and not only are almost all singles in the army, but even the common people are mostly singles. Although not Chinese women, Indian women are also more suitable for the aesthetics of Chinese and are still quite popular. In addition, it seems that some businessmen do not have much psychological burden on such a thing as buying and selling human beings. It can be understood as doing good deeds.

On the island of Statues, all P40 fighters were shipped and sent to Madagascar as soon as possible. The second batch of carrier-based aircraft obtained by Professor Yuan in the United States has already arrived at Shixiang Island. When these fighters arrive, there will be a hundred carrier-based aircraft on the island (the configuration of the aircraft carrier INDO). Enough to be safe. In addition, according to the adjustment of the Air Force, some pilots will also come to Vladivostok with the ship.

With regard to the Indian Ocean aircraft carrier, which was being outfitted on Shixiang Island, Li Guang ordered that it would rather slow down the construction of the submarine and that it would be better to send out the most skilled workers and technicians and devote them to the final work of the Indian Ocean. The training of pilots and crew members should be strengthened.

In addition, the salvage team immediately set out to rescue the Japanese destroyer Qinshio back to Madagascar in Ceylon. You must know that the Japanese Yangyan-class destroyers are very good things, and they are claimed to surpass all the destroyers of the great powers in the Japanese Navy. There are really a lot of good things on it, although not as many as the captured Kaga aircraft carrier, but it is also precious enough. There are two of them, which are tempting. First, the complete Japanese Navy code book has been salvaged. Second, the Japanese army's most bullish Type 93 spear oxygen torpedo.

Li Guangneng made a decision on these matters immediately. The General Staff will work out specific plans one by one, and Li Guang does not need to be too concerned about the specific process.

But the biggest question still has no answer, and Li Guang has difficulty deciding.

Judging from the fighting process in the past few months, whether it is Yang Weiwu, Bao Gang, or Su Qing, the officers of the Naval Resistance Army have done quite well, and Li Guang may not be able to do better when he returns to Vladivostok.

The problem now is that it is impossible for the Naval Resistance Army to wipe out the whole of Madagascar in a short period of time, that is, it is difficult to mobilize a large number of troops to support the war situation in Ceylon.

What to do with Tang Harbor. This is a big problem.

To hold on or to give up? This is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of Chinese and thousands of soldiers. This issue is also related to the immigrants of the Haitang Kingdom and the Chinese War of Resistance. The pros and cons are so complex that it is impossible to give quantitative indicators.

Can you hold it?

How many troops do you need?

How many troops will the Japanese army increase?

How long can it last?

Even if the Indian Ocean aircraft carrier is officially installed in a few months, will the Naval Resistance Force be able to defeat the Japanese Navy?

Will the Japanese Navy devote more forces in Ceylon?

A decision must be made as soon as possible on this issue. According to information from Malaya, the Japanese Guards Division is now being mobilized. Li Guang estimated that it would only take about fifteen days for Ozawa Jizaburo's fleet to come to Ceylon again. The fleet led by Zheng Xuechang, due to the lack of aircraft carriers, had to shrink back from the battle, and may be able to cause some losses to Ozawa Jizaburo, but it is unable to resist the entry of Ozawa's fleet into Ceylon. In short, there are no conditions for victory in battle.

If the Navy's forces want to withdraw from Tang Harbor, they must make a decision by July 5, (it takes time for ships to sail, and it takes about seven or eight days for ordinary ships to travel from Madagascar to Ceylon.) The later it is, the greater the risk.

Another question that also made Li Guang scratch his head, how to deal with the diplomatic relations around Madagascar. The French colonies could be swept by force, but what about the British colonies? What about the Portuguese colonies?

Li Guang has not rested for a day and a night, and the various responses proposed by the General Staff are limited to the war itself. Every order given can have unpredictable consequences, and the slightest carelessness can cause a chain reaction.

It's so hard to be an official. (Squirt this pretending to die.) )

Resourcefulness is a compliment. Scheming is a derogatory term. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had two famous ministers, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who combined their swords and were known as Fang Mou Du Xuan, who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so they became famous in history.

In terms of strategy, the group of staff officers of the Naval Resistance Army are all considered to be the elite of this era, and after several years of beating, the plans they have made have also been seen clearly. Maybe it can be compared to Fang Xuanling?

Judgment, this is Li Guang's business. Li Guang said: "It's so difficult. ”

There is a rich man who sees a table of dishes, but he doesn't know which plate to eat. On the surface, Li Guang is in such a state now.

But in essence, Li Guang's state is a man named Hanako, who is hesitant to move in the face of several kinds of food in front of him.

There are things to eat, but too little to be filling.

Some are faintly toxic, and if you eat them, you won't die, and you can live if you are uncomfortable.

Some are so poisonous that they die if they eat them. Some things were eaten, and the toxicity did not attack until three to five days later.

Some things, eaten immediately, are a great supplement, but a delayed onset is a deadly poison.

To complicate matters further, both are good when eaten separately. But eating them together is poison.

What's more complicated is that both things are good when eaten separately, but if you eat them together, it may delay the onset of toxicity. And I don't know what day it is.

In fact, the situation faced by Li Guang is far more complicated than the choice of calling Hanako, and he is facing not one plan at the same time, but dozens of plans. These plans seem to be feasible, but when combined, they become something that is difficult to say.

In battle, facing life and death, Li Guang does not necessarily have this kind of pressure. However, in the face of the complex information like a spider's web, there are countless unknowns that are difficult to answer. The pressure is so great that you can imagine it.

At noon, Li Guang picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and finally couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell asleep in the staff headquarters. (To be continued......)
