Chen Shao was excited for a day yesterday, and Xie Yuxin's pregnancy again is already known to everyone today, but the people here refer to the top of the provisional government.

After calming down his joyful mood, Chen Shao came to the General Staff Headquarters early.

Cai Yi also happened to be there at this time, and when Chen Shao came in, he and Jiang Baili were talking about Xingtou.

The issue of Chen Shao's heirs is also one of their concerns, especially when they have only one daughter over the years. Chen Shao didn't plan to accept another one, although they didn't say it directly, but their concern never let go. After all, things have come to the point where Chen Shao is today, and he is in his thirties, so how can he do without a son. Who will inherit the family business in the future, and even if he becomes an emperor, there must always be a prince. Now Xie Yuxin is pregnant again, although I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but everyone has an expectation.

Chen Shao's arrival interrupted their topic, and the two of them were not good at talking about this in front of him. But Chen Shao heard it very clearly.

"Baili, Songpo, what are you talking about behind my back?" Chen Shao was in a good mood, and his words were a little casual, a little ridiculous.

"Congratulations to the chairman, I'm about to add another dragon." Cai Yi was the first to speak. Cai Ye has just arrived in Nanning today, and he has been handling official business in Taiwan before that. He knew all about Chen Shao's conversation with Jiang Baili that day, and this sentence also showed Chen Shao's attitude. His idea is the same as Jiang Baili, the miracle of China was created by this person, or in other words, without Chen Shao, there would be no current China.

"Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, hurry up and give birth to a few more little generals. I really wanted to be their teacher. Jiang Baili said.

Chen Shao is the chairman of the Provisional Government of China and the supreme commander of the Chinese National Defense Forces. Now many systems are being customized, among which Chen Shao's status has been determined, and the imperial system is a foregone conclusion. In the future, the chairman will also be changed to the emperor, and the supreme commander will be inconvenient for a hundred years, and he will control all the military and political power in China. The matter of fixing the capital has long been confirmed, and various preparations and construction have already begun.

"It's strange, I didn't find out that you two were gossipy before, and now I've just checked it out, and it's still early to fall to the ground. And I don't know if it's a man or a woman, so you can pinch it! Chen Shao laughed.

"I wish you, not to mention that this is not a boy, there will be another time, anyway, the chairman is still young." Jiang Baili said.

"Baili is right, this kind of thing itself requires a lot of effort." Cai Ye echoed.

"Leaving this issue aside, I have just received information that Britain is discussing with France the matter of sending troops from home to support Southeast Asia. What should you do about this? Chen Shao doesn't want to talk about those things in life anymore, as a person who grew up in the 21st century, he has a different concept from today's people. Chen Shao knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would definitely jump out of the matter of concubines. Chen Shao has only one idea about this matter, to be determined. Chen Shao does not agree or object to this kind of thing, everything pays attention to fate. If he hadn't met Xie Yuxin by accident back then, maybe Chen Shao would still be single now! You can't just find a woman!

As soon as Chen Shao said that he was down to business, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili became serious. Joke in your spare time, be harmless, and concentrate on serious things, which is what everyone below Chen Shao must abide by.

"Chairman, we don't need to worry about that. Our staff had a plan for dealing with it early on, and the British Eastern Fleet was destroyed. Even if there were reinforcements, they would not dare to cross the Strait of Malacca, so that their journey on land would be greatly increased, and if it was a flat route, it would be faster to go by land. But from Burma all the way to Vietnam, it's a tropical jungle that can seriously affect the speed of the march. According to the projections of our General Staff, judging by the pace of our Wehrmacht's march, it would take at least eighteen days from the British mainland, the landing in Burma, and then to Lang Son in Vietnam. And during this period, there is no large-scale recuperation. Another point is that there is no way for the British and French reinforcements to leave immediately, and it is expected to drag on for a day or two. It will take at least twenty days, and with the strength of Britain and France in Southeast Asia, do they have the strength to hold on for twenty days? Jiang Baili said while pouring tea.

"Chairman, what do you want to achieve in this war with Britain and France?" Cai then asked.

"Take back everything that belongs to us and make an example of the monkeys. Take back the concession and abolish all unequal contracts. Western countries have all kinds of commercial protections in China, many of which are tariff-free, and these things must be resolved. The state-building, the land is not complete, the contracts are continuous, and the state-building does not look so perfect. Now I don't want to fight hard with the Soviet Union, so I can only get angry with Britain and France, first easy and then difficult. As for the lands in the north, they could only be deposited in the USSR first. Chen Shao's idea is very simple, according to the plan, all this could have been more perfect. It's just that Japan's move in Jinan made Chen Shao have to implement it in advance. There are deficiencies in Chen Shao's consideration, and no one is perfect. According to the original plan, the war with Japan would be three years later, when Chen Shao had already digested the northwest region, and Li Zongren's 800,000 construction corps could free up his hands and move the Soviet Union at that time. Now persimmons can only pick up soft pinch.

"The chairman's ambition is admired by Songpa. Once the Anglo-French coalition forces in Southeast Asia are eliminated, what is the chairman's next step? Regarding Chen Shao's plan, Cai Ye was very shocked in his heart. Perhaps it is Chen Shao's senseless heart and courage to fight that has made him follow him until now. Cai Ye sighed in his heart: With such ambition, courage, and daring to put it into action, can the whole of China find a comparable one?

"I can tell you my bottom line, I don't want Vietnam or India or anything now, the country still needs to be vigorously developed, and it is thankless to take those territories, because I don't want to colonize. However, it is still very good to open a few trade points at the border, and our products can be exported directly there. But these are small sections, and I want Myanmar more than anything right now. But I'm not going to ask for them all, I want a line. Chen Shao took a sip of the tea handed over by Jiang Baili and said.

"A line?" Jiang Baili was a little confused.

"Yes, it's a line." Chen Shao walked to the map as he spoke, scratched down Yunnan with his finger, crossed Burma and stopped at the blue sea, and then said: "Burma is a British colony, and this time it is mainly against the British. I don't want the British to bleed this time, but it is inevitable to feel distressed. Tell Britain to carve out a territory for us, and I will build a railway directly to the Bay of Bengal. When the time comes, Myanmar will build a dual-use port there. The strategic significance is significant, and of course, the economic significance is no small one. Chen Shao didn't have this idea originally, but now that he has moved Britain and France, he naturally wants to create the greatest benefits.

"It's a strategic point, indeed." Cai Ye and Jiang Baili can also see that once this railway is completed, its value cannot be underestimated.

"However, it costs a lot to build such a railway, and the chairman is bent on building people's livelihood, can the government get so much money?" Cai said.

"Myanmar is mountainous and densely forested, which is a challenge for the construction of railways. It's also a big challenge for our funding. Moreover, Japan's compensation is also intended to be fully invested in the construction of people's livelihood. I went to Longteng Group for a meeting a few days ago to discuss this issue. This railway will be led by Longteng Group, raising funds for construction, investors can get shares according to the invested funds, and the operating income of the railway will be distributed according to shares in the future. So money is not an issue, time is an issue. The railway is expected to take at least eight years to build, but we can afford to wait. Chen Shao said in detail, and then said: "But it's too early to say this, the most important thing now is to completely defeat Britain and France, so that Britain willingly hand over the territory." Where is Li Zongren's Construction Corps? ”

"The roads in Tibet are very difficult to walk, and logistical supply is also very difficult, although the troops in this operation are only half the size of the Construction Corps, but the supply problem is still serious. It will take at least half a month to reach the Indian border. Jiang Baili said.

"More than half a month, that's not about the same time as the arrival of British and French reinforcements." Chen Shaodao.

"It's not much of a time." Jiang Baili said.

"You say that if the British and French reinforcements have not yet landed, they will be buried at the bottom of the sea, and the strength of Southeast Asia will be exhausted. Will Britain honestly admit defeat at that time? Chen Shao said.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to fight this war anymore. Unless Britain and France want to fight with us, I don't think Britain and France are two fools, and Germany is still eyeing us. After all, their center of gravity is Europe, and an honest admission of defeat is necessary. Jiang Baili said.

"Chairman, you want to send the navy to cross the Strait of Malacca and take out their troop carriers." Cai Ye asked with some confusion.

"Yes, it's a lot of trouble to go to land, and it's not very cost-effective to send them directly to the bottom of the sea. Save time and effort, and it's cheap. Chen Shao said.

"Once our navy passes through the Strait of Malacca, the British will surely know that if they escape back, or bring in a home fleet, it will not be a naval battle?" Jiang Baili said.

"Why do we want to send large warships, submarines are a good choice, as long as a few more modified merchant ships are sent as supply ships, merchant ships can walk through the Strait of Malacca openly, and submarines go underwater. Who will know? I've been thinking about this for a long time. Chen Shao said.

"It's a good idea, but the question is how to determine where the other party's troop carrier is?" Cai Ye is a little puzzled, this is a big problem, if you can't find a target, how can you act?

"The mountain people have their own tricks, and you will be optimistic when the time comes!" Chen Shao then said: "It's still early for these things, how to deal with the Anglo-French forces in Langshan?" The lessons of these two days have taught them a lot, but they are far from enough. ”

"The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard can't wait!" Jiang Baili said.
