Sun Chuanfang's left hook had just kicked off the prelude to the Samarkand Annihilation Battle in the Battle of Tashkent, and the news of the German landing in Norway reached Beijing.

It was only at this moment that Britain and France suddenly discovered that they had been tricked by Hitler again! The five divisions transferred from the Western Front did not go to Poland, and the numbers that appeared in Poland were actually disguised by other troops, until JU52 roared and landed at Stockholm airport, and Churchill did not jump up when he learned of the number of the German army. Yang Qiu was so angry that he was furious, and immediately ordered Pound to lead the main force of the Royal Navy's Turkish fleet to set off. At the same time, for the first time, the H-5 bombers purchased from China were mobilized to bomb the German landing sites, and the airborne and naval landing plans were quickly formulated.

At the same time, the French government also realized that the crisis was approaching, and in order to cut off the supply of iron ore to Germany, it actively cooperated with the British army in launching the Norwegian campaign. But the French apparently did not know that a larger offensive was already in the making.

As soon as the plane landed, Yue Peng and Xu Shuzheng were hurriedly taken to the Ministry of National Defense, and in the small conference room, Yang Qiu, Song Ziqing and others were already standing in front of the map, studying the sudden situation in Europe. "Zi Anhe is here again, how is the northwest now?" As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Xiaozhun blocked the two and asked about the war in Central Asia. Because after the German army landed in Norway, the war in Western Europe was already on the verge of breaking out, and everyone could see that as long as Hitler continued to attack, Stalin would be able to draw more troops from Europe to carry out a large-scale counterattack.

On the way back, Yue Peng also thought of this possibility, so he introduced a few sentences succinctly: "Sun Chuanfang has already made Du Yuming take a detour west along the Turkestan Mountains, and successfully attacked Bukhara and Navoi yesterday, opening the western gate of Samarkand in one fell swoop. At present, Xie Ruyi's main forces are attacking Jizzakh and Ulyannovo, and Sun Chuanfang himself is temporarily blocked south of the Turkestan Mountains. However, after Du Yuming bypassed, the Soviet army would definitely retreat back to Samarkand, so I estimate that the general offensive will start within five days at the latest. ”

"Great. Without Samarkand's containment, Apanashchenko lost flank protection and could only hide in a turtle shell and wait for death. ”

As soon as Jiang Fangzhen finished speaking, Yue Peng, who saw the strong fortress with his own eyes on the front line, immediately shook his head: "Don't be happy too early, Apanashchenko's turtle shell is not easy to gnaw." There are many methods used in front of me, but they can't be smashed. If there is no other means, I estimate that it may take three to four months to take it. ”

"Don't worry, the president has already thought of a way, and he will definitely be able to break this turtle array in three weeks at the latest." It was Qiu Bin who spoke, and he was tanned and thin all the time in the southwest.

"Oh? What's the solution? "As a theater commander. Xu Shuzheng's mind has been full of how to break through Apanashchenko's fortress formation in the past few days, and when he heard that Yang Qiu had thought of a way, he couldn't wait to ask.

Yang Qiu smiled slightly, after learning about the trouble from Song Ziqing, he didn't take it seriously. Although the Cloudburst Bomb research in Project 3010 is stuck on the Cloudburst Agent Synthesis. It's too late to get goblets and slams and the like, but a few forts can't bother him. So the sketches and detailed instructions for the GBU-28 ground-penetrating bomb were immediately handed over to the Air Force to build. "Altered with an old barrel? Is this okay? Yue Peng didn't believe how powerful the bomb remodeled from the old barrel could be, but Yang Qiu knew that the hard material of the barrel was suitable for ground-penetrating bombs, and the barrel was straight and smooth, which was more suitable for continuous penetration, and the 900-kilogram model of the later generations could penetrate 4-meter-high reinforced cement, and the 2-ton class could penetrate 6 meters of cement after 30 meters underground. The current cement strength is far less than that of later generations, so it is not very difficult. As for accuracy, it's even more fine, just let the dive bomber rush down from a height of several kilometers.

"It's not complicated, and we should be able to come up with an experimental model in a few days. You'll find out when the time comes. Yang Qiu didn't explain too much, but was worried about the East Kazakh theater and asked, "Isn't there any movement on Zhukov and Lukin's side?" ”

After hearing that the experiment would be possible in a few days, Xu Shuzheng was in a much better mood: "Not yet." Even radio contact has not increased. I guess it's still the weather, and it's the Spring Festival Gala over there. It's still around minus 15 degrees. The events of the Polish Holocaust should have had an effect, and Stalin was anxious to pacify the interior, so there was much less support for them. However, since the Germans have moved to the Western Front, I am afraid that a counterattack will come soon. ”

"Bin, what have the Japanese people in Nanyang been doing lately?" Taking advantage of Yang Qiu's opportunity to ask about East Kazakhstan, Yue Peng walked to Qiu Bin's side, took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party.

Qiu Bin took the cigarette and introduced his finger from the Philippines to the west: "In addition to the fighting in Bangladesh, the large-scale war in Nanyang has ended, and the Japanese army is now stepping up efforts to stabilize the place and loot supplies. The first batch of resources and supplies from the United States has been shipped to Mindanao, but the Philippine guerrillas are now scattered, and several of our Asian League divisions have already been established, causing a lot of trouble to the Japanese army under the banner of the United States. However, I'm afraid that I don't have the heart to suppress the bandits now, and the domestic Nagata Tetsuyama and Tojo Hideki are fighting fiercely. It is said that Hideki Tojo has asked Konoe to resign, apparently wanting to become prime minister himself. This move was blocked by the Nagata faction, and the possibility of expanding the infighting could not be ruled out. However, the Japanese navy is now concentrating on expansion, and has already mobilized seven Marine garrison groups to Singapore and the Andaman with a total strength of 20,000 troops, the Akagi and Kaga of the First Air Force, two Fuso-class battleships, two Ise-class battleships (converted from the British Lion-class), and 10 light and heavy cruisers have arrived at the Linga anchorage five days ago, and the preliminary judgment is that it should be to attack Ceylon. ”

"So many capital ships are needed in the Indian Ocean?"

"That's not necessarily enough." Chen Shaokuan interjected from the side, pointed to Madagascar and said: "The British Navy has made a big move, the two aircraft carriers Athletic and Ark Royal have arrived here to converge with the four Avenger-class battleships of the Far East Fleet Somerville. In this way, the British Navy has amassed 2 aircraft carriers, 4 battleships, 6 light and heavy cruisers, 15 destroyers, and at least 13 submarines in the Indian Ocean. The Japanese navy believed that this fleet had seriously threatened the safety of India's shipping routes, and Stalin frequently asked Japan to officially send troops to India, so we analyzed that Shanwuliu wanted to eat this fleet and take Ceylon to officially set foot in India. ”

"The mountains are crazy? Go to India, can his supplies be satisfied? Haven't Balikpapan and Palembang oil fields been repaired yet? Qiu Bin only knew that the Japanese navy was frequently transferred, but the professional problem was not as strong as Chen Shaokuan, so he frowned when he heard this.

Chen Shaokuan lit a cigar, and slowly seemed not to be in a hurry at all: "I don't know if I'm crazy or not, I just know that the Japanese army doesn't care about this matter at all." So this should be an action of the Navy at its own discretion. As for the two oil fields, although the blockade of Britain and the United States and ours makes it impossible for them to buy equipment, 100,000 tons per month can still be guaranteed. Therefore, as long as the Japanese navy is willing to invest, it is not possible to maintain a large force, but it is certainly no problem to maintain a garrison brigade of 20,000 or 30,000 to reap the benefits. There is another reason for this, that is, the Japanese navy and the army have always been on the wrong path, and for so many years, in addition to having to cooperate with each other to build a Zero fighter because of our aircraft superiority, the other roots are that they have never been in touch with each other. Now Hideki Tojo is bent on continuing the original mainland policy, and wants to replicate the old days when he went all the way from North Korea to the Northeast. Cooperate with the Soviet Union to flank our dreams. However, the navy was very unsupportive, so it cannot be ruled out that Shan's move was deliberately diverted from the main force of the navy, so as not to be used as a gunman. ”

"Churchill probably didn't give up." Yue Peng groaned.

Chen Shaokuan exhaled a choking white smoke: "Yes, the British Empire still has a family background, even if it loses its counterattack and prestige." The Royal Oak was lost, plus the aircraft carrier Brave, but there were still 9 battleships and 5 aircraft carriers at home, 5 George V-class ships in the dockyard, and even 3 aircraft carriers USS Radiance were about to enter service. So before you came, the president said that as long as France was there, Churchill would dare to commit troops in the Indian Ocean. So after he drove us out of Djibouti, he kept trying to take back control of India by himself, and didn't want us to set foot in the Indian subcontinent easily.

Judging from the timing, the Indian monsoon season will pass in half a month. Therefore, we analyze that if Shan Fifty-six wants to do it, it should be in May. It is estimated that he will also depend on the situation in Europe, if the German army really attacks France, then he will have no worries. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will turn around and go to the Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands is Rabaul's bridgehead, having previously occupied the Marshall Islands, Rabaul, New Guinea and Truk. Only Solomon in the middle has been garrisoned by the Australian army, this colander is too big, and if you don't take it down, you won't be able to sleep at all. ”

After Qiu Bin looked at the map for details, he was surprised to hear Chen Shaokuan's words full of pessimism about France: "Houfu, listening to your tone, why aren't you optimistic about France?" Not to mention the strength of the Maginot Line, except for the air force, the overall strength of the French army is far superior to that of the German army. What's more, Churchill has also sent 11 divisions, and Belgium is also helping, so the victory should be even greater. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shaokuan scratched his head: "Don't hide it, we are all optimistic about France, but the president is him." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Yang Qiu, who had finished chatting with Xu Shuzheng about the war in Central Asia, heard Chen Shaokuan mention himself and walked over with everyone. Seeing this, Yue Peng deliberately smiled: "President, Houfu said that you are not optimistic about France, so I am waiting to see your good show." ”

Everyone laughed, and even Chen Shaokuan smiled: "Anyway, I'm optimistic about France, the fortress on the Maginot Line is thicker than Apanashchenko's turtle array, and it can't be broken in a year and a half." With Germany's current reserves, the roots cannot afford to last so long. ”

Of course, Yang Qiu would not tell the truth, and swiped on the map with a smile: "That's not necessarily. An army that is not enterprising will not be able to win a war. What's more, the Maginot direction has not been repaired to the seaside, and there are big loopholes."

Looking at his fingers, Yue Peng was thoughtful, but before he could ask Yang Qiu, he took out Dai Yunong's information and handed it to him: "The people sent by Dai Yunong to Poland have been determined, and while Hitler pretended to send five divisions to Poland, he also secretly withdrew 13 divisions from Poland and the Czech Republic to return to the Western Front. ”

"Is he really going to do anything to France?" Qiu Bin's eyes widened, in his opinion, this was smashing stones with eggs.

"And that's not all." Zhang Xiaozhun crossed the crowd: "According to the Russian telegram we deciphered, some Romanian immigrants in the French GC International have secretly provided information on the deployment of the French army to Germany. ”

"Stalin!"

"Yes, in order to drag down Germany's reinforcement of troops in Central Asia, he has already done nothing!" Yang Qiu turned around, took a thick bag from Gu Yu's hand, and pulled out a piece of red cover after untying the bag. Seeing this, the eyes of all the high-level members of the General Staff Department present lit up. They know too well that although the signatures inside are all forged, the content is exactly the same as the secret agreement between the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan, so even if someone gets the original, they can't tell the authenticity.

Yang Qiu solemnly handed the item to Yue Peng: "You don't have to worry about Central Asia and the Persian Gulf for the time being, and you are going to go to Paris." The British Navy was being dragged in Norway and the Indian Ocean, and France was also trying to find a way to cut off German iron ore, and both eyes were diverted, which was a great opportunity! So I judged that Hitler would have done it in these days. Houfu, Bin! The two of you immediately come up with a plan to receive Vietnam, and the 5 million tons of grain here must be taken, and Japan must not be allowed to take the lead. ”

"Remember! No matter what happens during your visit, you won't be allowed to do it! At the same time that Yue Peng's hands touched the piece, Yang Qiu added again
