The conference room in the Chita Municipal Axe Building was brightly lit

A row of rectangular tables was filled with military commanders of various units, and our chief Su sat in the first place with his eyes closed.

Now that the battle has been fought, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the destruction of the Timoshenko group, but the most important issue facing the 37th Army headed by Su Tong is whether to advance eastward toward Vladivostok according to the predetermined plan, or whether to advance westward in the direction of Kazan and take the whole of Siberia into its pocket.

The division commanders below had different opinions on this issue, and several division commanders headed by Sun Liren, including Shi Haoxing, Wang Li, and Fan Jie, were resolutely westward expansionists, and their opinions were to go west along the Trans-Siberian Railway. However, the eastward faction led by Hu Lian demanded to advance to Vladivostok according to the original plan and take back the land that had been stolen by the Tsar, including Hailan Pao.

Originally, the strategy of westward expansion was only discussed privately in a small area by senior officers, but when the war gradually went smoothly and even the Timoshenko group was destroyed, the voice of the westward expansion suddenly broke out strongly, and finally even Su Tong was alarmed.

At first, Su Tong didn't care about it, thinking that it was just a temporary controversy, but the sound of this argument became louder and louder, so that it affected the morale of the troops.

First of all, the more we go west, the larger the territory we actually control, the wider the scope of our troops' activities, and the more people will be included in our jurisdiction, which will be of great benefit to our Chahar political axe." Shi Haoxing, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, made a speech that was very much approved by some officers.

"Otherwise, it is true that we can occupy more land by advancing westward, but then we will be seriously understaffed, and we now seem to have an army of 300,000 troops, which sounds like a lot, but once these troops are dispersed to the vast expanse of Siberia, it will be like a handful of salt spilled into a pond, and not even a bubble will rise." Huang Hao, commander of the Sixth Infantry Division, retorted.

Sun Liren continued: "Otherwise, although Siberia is large, their main cities and populations are concentrated in the vicinity of the Trans-Siberian Railway, as long as we control the railway, we can control the whole of Siberia." ”

"Not necessarily, although we can control the railway, their population is far superior to ours, and don't forget, they are all Russians. Even if we take the city, it will be difficult for us to control them all at once. Hu Lian also spoke.

"No, the benefits of westward expansion should outweigh the disadvantages"

"No, it's safer to go eastward"

Looking at the people arguing below, Chief Su's head was big, and now he remembered the words of the great man: There is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. That's fucking true. In the novels I read in later generations, it was said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and factions will always arise inadvertently, for example, isn't this the case in this East-West dispute. No wonder it was said before that there would be mountains and seas, not that leaders love to hold meetings, but that this meeting will not work.

Seeing that the commanders of the infantry division below were arguing enthusiastically, while several military commanders of the air force were giggling and watching the drama on the side, and several commanders of the artillery division were looking at the teacups in their hands without squinting, as if they wanted to see the teacups as flowers, this kind of scene was simply a picture of life.

Seeing the fiery scene below, Chief Su couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, on the question of eastward or westward, I will also say a few words."

Hearing his boss's words, everyone below fell silent.

"Shi Haoxing, let me ask you, what was our original goal?"

"It was to capture Vladivostok and regain the land that had been robbed by the Tsar." As soon as he heard the original set goal, Shi Haoxing's voice became a little smaller.

"Well, you remember it." Su Tong nodded: "Then has this goal been achieved now?" ”

"No, no," Shi Haoxing's voice was a little lower.

"Do you know how many people there are in Soviet Russia? And how much war potential do they have, how determined are the Russian political axes to defend Siberia, and how much human and material resources do we have? "Every time a question is asked, the heads of the generals who support the westward expansion are lowered by one point, and the voice of the chief Su is two points higher.

"You don't know, you don't know anything, what is the war about? What we fight in a war is comprehensive national strength, and what we fight for is war potential, what do we have? What do we have in Chahar? Do you know how much we spend a day here? You don't know, you don't know anything, you shout all day long to hit Kazan, to Moscow. According to me, that's bullshit! The boss was very angry, and the people below also bowed their heads and stopped talking.

Yes, in the later life, Su Tong didn't read many books, and even high school was stumbling to finish. After coming to this era, he does have ambitions to do great things, Su Tong has no leadership temperament, and he has no military talent. But he has an advantage, that is, he has self-knowledge and understands the truth that he can eat as many dishes as he wants. Now they can take advantage of the opportunity of the Russian political axe to bite a few pieces of meat in Siberia, which is nothing, but if the people are not enough to swallow the whole of Siberia, they will definitely be choked to death.

Besides, it is only a few years before the start of World War II, and it is not very good to wait until Hitler's mustache and Stalin's beard fight to the death before eating a ready-made meal, why should you be in this early year?

Now I see that some people in the army show signs of pride after winning a few battles, their tails, and think that they are the best in the world, which is not a good thing, and the officials of Su must strangle it in the cradle.

Seeing that the following officers couldn't lift their heads by their own training, someone who thought that the goal had been achieved thought that he should also give a sweet date after the big stick was beaten, and he couldn't chill the hearts of the soldiers, "Okay, I can understand your mood for war, I don't blame you for this, after all, you are also for everyone's good." But since the capture of Vladivostok was our original plan, it was not allowed to be easily changed. Master Sun, this time I plan to attack Vladivostok, I still plan to send you to be the vanguard of this emergency, do you have any confidence? ”

"Report sir! Humble duty guarantees the completion of the task. After seeing that the chief did not blame himself and still wanted to send himself as a pioneer, the stone hanging in Sun Liren's heart also fell to the ground.

Su Tong looked at the officers below with a smile, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Everything is under the orders of the commander!" As soon as the boss asked, the following answer was neat.

"Yes, okay." Chief Su nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that everyone can unify their thoughts together, now we should discuss how to solve the problem of the Timoshenko Group!" ”

Just as she was about to speak, Yulia hurried over. handed a telegram to Su Tong, and as soon as Su Tong read it, a wry smile appeared on his face, saying that his grandmother's, this Georgian stubborn old man is really unforgiving.

casually put the telegram on the table, looked up, the officers at the table were looking at him, and Chief Su looked at everyone and said slowly: "Brothers, we have work to do again!"

Well, it's the third shift today.
