After the meeting, most of the participating generals rushed out, but Chang Ruiqing, Zhao Zhen, Wu Shi, Zhang Guotao, and Bai Chongxi, Peng Dhuai, and Lin Zuo, who had only arrived in Nanjing this morning, did not leave the conference room. High-quality updates are here

"Kaiyin, tell me the news you just got from Tianyan." Chang Ruiqing pointed at Zhang Guotao.

"The Soviet Union and India are now tempting Japan to go to war with us, and they are going to hold some kind of celebration in Delhi, and they want to invite the Japanese and G high-level officials to visit. Takeda Heng's mind also came alive, and he listened to Yamamoto Fifty-six's Jian yì to take Oahu first, and then consider the next move. ”

"What's next? Any idea what it is? Wu Shi asked.

Zhang Guotao shook his head slightly: "I don't know this, maybe Takeda didn't think about it himself, but most of them are two possibilities, one is that he can't get along with us; The second is to go south to Australia. ”

"It's not possible to guess, you must figure out the specific direction, this is very important." Wu Shi looked at Chang Ruiqing, and then said: "Yaoru, it would be good if the Japanese went south to Australia, we had to beat India Asan out of the Middle East first." ”

"It's not if, sue sù Tianyan, we must urge the Japanese army to go south to Australia!" Chang Ruiqing ordered categorically.

Bai Chongxi, Wu Shi, Zhao Zhen, Peng Dhuai and others were stunned at the same time, they didn't know the true identity of Tianyan, they didn't expect this spy to be so powerful. Bai Chongxi asked, "Yaoru, are you sure?" ”

"You can give it a try." Chang Ruiqing said lightly: "There is always seven or eight percent certainty." He thought for a while and said, "But I'm afraid it won't work just by relying on the eye of the sky, and Takeda Heng is not such an easy person to sway." ”

"Yaoru. I have an idea. Zhao Zhen took over the topic and said: "You can expose the seven to the light, and you can also exaggerate the number of the seven to be exposed." To make the Japanese mistakenly believe that we already have a certain number of long-range heavy bombers. ”

The maximum range of the Yanh-7 is more than 3,000 kilometers, even with a 5-ton bomb on board. The maximum range is still more than 2,300 kilometers, and from Vladivostok and South Korea (which has been handed over to the Republic of Korea) can cover most of the Japanese mainland, and it can also be used to destroy Japanese oil facilities on the island of Huatai.

Chang Ruiqing said: "I think it's okay, Kaiyin, you go and discuss with Commander-in-Chief Yang of the Air Force to see how to arrange it." ”

"Understood." Zhang Guotao nodded, and also gave Chang Ruiqing an idea: "Prime Minister." According to the Sky Eye, the Japanese were very jealous of the Singapore Fortress, which was very close to the Palembang oil field on the island of Sumatra, their main oil gathering place. Once the war began. Dive bombers flying from Singapore can blow up the Palembang oil fields. Why don't we also deploy some dive bombers and medium bombers at Fort Singapore? ”

Bai Chongxi interjected: "No, the Singapore fortress is a first-line base, and it is too easy to be raided by the Japanese army, so you can't deploy too many planes before the war." However, the garrison of the Singapore fortress should be increased. There residents should be evacuated as much as possible. War materials should also be stockpiled, and preparations should be made for being besieged by the Japanese army. I reckon that once we go to war with Japan, the Singapore fortress will be the first to be attacked. High-quality updates are here"

"It's already laid out." "Not only Singapore, but also Kuala Lumpur, Kuantan, Malacca, Shah Alam, Penang, Natuna Islands, Brunei, Sandakan and Palawan have taken precautions. ”

Bai Chongxi frowned slightly, and said with some uneasiness: "The South Seas are so big, and there are so many islands, you can't just guard them." He thought about it and said, "And the bombing of the oil fields did not necessarily intimidate the Japanese, who had a lot of oil reserves before the war." After seizing the Palembang and Balikpapan oil fields, their oil production far exceeded their consumption. The surplus is stocked up, and it seems that we still help transport it. ”

In this time and space, because China is secretly helping Japan behind the scenes, the American submarines do not pose any threat to Japan's South Sea transportation lines. Palembang oil is shipped directly to Singapore by Japanese tankers, and then transported by Chinese tankers to the port of Busan, from which the oil is transported back to mainland China for storage. This route is extremely short for Japanese oil tankers, and under the layers of protection of Japanese destroyers, American submarines have no way to start at all, and although the transportation line for which China is responsible is long, China is a friendly country with the United States. Second, such behavior does not violate the international "neutrality norm"; So the United States is helpless. However, Japan's domestic reserves of oil and various strategic materials have become very abundant as a result.

"No, don't worry too much about Japan," Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said, "They are not our opponents, and they will not be sent to death at the door." There was a hint of playfulness on his lips. As the saying goes, we can't afford to provoke us, they can't afford to provoke us, so they just want to hide in Australia, right? ”

Bai Chongxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, even if Japan desperately came to fight China, there was not much hope of victory, unless the Soviet Union could create a miracle on the Western Front, it would be China and the United States to attack Japan. The only way out is to "hide" in Australia, and the British now have their last breath left, so Australia will definitely not be able to hold it. After those Australias, Japan will have a way out, and even if the mainland and the South Sea Islands all fall, they will be able to re-establish themselves in Australia. After all, China was only the third power in the world after the war, and neither the United States nor Germany wanted China to have too much territory and too many resources......

Seeing that no one proposed to build a new one, Chang Ruiqing said with a stern expression: "The policy towards Japan has been decided first, first, we must prepare for a war; The second is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, prompting them to go south to Australia. He glanced at everyone again, and then said, "Three, I still want to give them a little fantasy...... China and Japan are both Asian countries under the leadership of the GCD, and they are the pillars of East Asian civilization, and they should not kill each other. If the Japanese GCD can change the line of the Soviet revolution and take the road of National Socialism instead, China and Japan and the two parties can completely coexist peacefully and become allies in jointly resisting the invasion of Western civilization into the East. ”

Everyone present looked at each other, and no one objected to Chang Ruiqing's words. They all knew in their hearts that there could only be one leader in the Eastern world. Therefore, the possibility of China and Japan becoming allies after the war is almost zero, and throwing out this policy now is only to temporarily stabilize the Japanese. The high-quality update is because the Great China Federation has a big trouble to solve before realizing the integration of China and Japan. That's India! This time, Chang Ruiqing recalled Bai Chongxi, Peng Dhuai, and Lin Zuoda from the front line to discuss dealing with India.

"Jiansheng, Shi Chuan, Yangchun, what do you think about the battlefields in India and the Middle East?" Chang Ruiqing went straight to the point.

"Yaoru, judging from the Indian Red Army's performance in the Middle East battlefield, the Central Asian MSLing and the Indian MSLIN will definitely not be able to defeat them." Bai Chongxi pondered and said: "If we must eliminate the Indian regime, I am afraid that we must dispatch more than 3 million national defense forces, and we will not necessarily succeed." Because the Indian people are still very supportive of India. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly, the current situation in India is a bit like the history when New China was first founded. Rewi is the great leader, and the Indian GCD is honorably right. He led 350 million Indians to overthrow the three mountains (imperialism, Brahmanical feudalism, Congress Party bureaucratic capitalism), and sent troops to the Middle East to defeat more than one million Anglo-American troops. Moreover, the current policy of collectivization of agriculture has not yet been pursued in India - according to intelligence, it was Trotsky who proposed to Ruy not to carry out collectivization of agriculture for the time being. Because Trotsky believed that the accumulation of Indian agriculture was insufficient, and the methods of cultivation were very primitive. The per capita arable land area is also small. If the policy of collectivization is insisted on being pursued blindly, the cost will certainly be worse than in the Soviet Union. Similar words were also told to Taizu in history, but Lu Yi reluctantly listened, so now the Indian people still have their own land, so most of them wholeheartedly support GCD and support "Lu Taizu".

In this case, it is not impossible for China to "conquer" India, but the cost is certainly not small, and what is there in India now that China is worth paying too much? The wealth accumulated by the country over thousands of years was either destroyed in the revolutionary war. Either they will be taken away by the upper classes who have fled India, and India's natural resources are not abundant. However, the arable land area is larger, but the tenth** is very barren, and only the Punjab region in northwestern India can be regarded as fertile.

However, such fertile land is nothing to the current Federation of Great China. Chang Ruiqing also thought that warm and moist land must be fertile, but it was only after he became China's premier that he learned that this view was completely wrong from the report sent by the Ministry of Agriculture. The land in the humid regions of the south is often very barren, because too much rain blackens away the minerals in the land and forms red soil that is not suitable for food production, except for some special reasons (for example, the volcanic mud in Java is very fertile, and the Nile River also brings very fertile soil to Egypt every year), and the grain yield per acre in the tropics is generally not high. And although the warm climate is conducive to the growth of plants, but there is no benefit to the growth of grain, although it can grow double cropping rice, three crops of rice, but the yield per mu of each season is not high, time-consuming and laborious without much benefit, it is better to use it to plant some cash crops more affordable.

However, some high-latitude areas, as long as they are not too cold and can solve the problem of irrigation water, are usually fertile production areas. For example, Northeast China, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Poland, South Siberia and the Volga River Basin in Russia are all important production areas in another time and space, and the land in the Russian Far East is also very fertile, but it does not produce too much food due to the small population and underdevelopment, and the population of Kazakhstan and South Siberia is not large, and the land resources are also not well utilized. Therefore, the food security of the Great China Federation does not need to rely on the few acres of thin fields in India, but only needs to do a good job in agricultural development in Siberia, the Far East, and Central Asia.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yi and India's GCD resolutely stood on the side of the Soviet Union and sent troops to help the Soviet Union defend the oil-producing areas in the Middle East, Chang Ruiqing really had no interest in fighting India. But now, China and India have to fight again. The fertile land of Punjab can be dispensed without, the oil of the Middle East must be controlled, and India has continuously sent internationalist fighters to the Soviet Union......

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing's eyebrows raised. "Yangchun," he asked Lin Zuodao, "has Rommel returned to Germany?" ”

"I have returned to Germany and left the port of Jeddah on May 18." On May 18, the day after the Battle of Khurais, Hitler recalled Rommel by urgent telegram after being convinced that Britain and the United States had been completely defeated in the Middle East. Lin Zuo Avenue: "Before he left, Lommel told me that Germany was ready to sell weapons to the caliphate. Military advisers could also be sent to the caliphate. The details of the deal will be negotiated with me at a later date by the German Embassy in the Arab Empire. ”

That is, Germany is ready to recognize the Arab Empire! Chang Ruiqing pointed at Zhao Zhen: "Youlin." You personally went to Berlin to negotiate with Hitler in person. Germany was required to provide 150 light infantry divisions and 10 light armored divisions of equipment to the Arab Empire free of charge, as well as 1,500 artillery pieces of 100 mm caliber, 500 aircraft, and a low-interest loan of 1 billion marks. As for military advisers, the caliphate does not need them. ”

Hearing these conditions, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Yaoru, I'm afraid Hitler is not so easy to speak, right?" ”

"He will agree, even if he doesn't agree this time, he will agree next time." Chang Ruiqing smiled coldly: "Because we won't ask for his things for nothing." As long as he agrees, we will march to the northwest of India, and we will also launch a landing operation in Karachi to cut off India and the Soviet Union. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded. It would be Indian artillery fire coupled with Soviet weapons to constitute combat effectiveness. Judging from the situation of the Second Middle East Battle, the combat effectiveness of this kind of Indian cannon fodder is about one-third of that of the British and American forces and one-sixth of the German army. The combat effectiveness should be doubled. And there are too many such cannon fodder. Almost unlimited supply is available. Theoretically, therefore, as long as the communication between India and the Soviet Union was not severed, Trotsky would be able to rely on an endless supply of Indian cannon fodder and the Germans to fight for attrition. Although with the military strength of the Germans, they could kill all the Indian and Soviet cannon fodder, but before that they themselves would die a lot. Germany's population is not large, and even if 1 blonde and blue-eyed Germanic "Superman" were exchanged for 10 Indians, Hitler would feel distressed. And with the huge heavy industry strength that Germany currently controls, the weapons and equipment that Chang Ruiqing asked for are nothing at all.

"Yang Chun. What is the situation of the caliphate now? Chang Ruiqing asked Lin Zuodao again: "Is it possible to counterattack Egypt?" ”

Egypt is the most populous country in the Middle East. The caliph was not afraid of having no soldiers, and if he got the weapons and equipment given by the Germans for free, he could quickly expand the army to more than 2 million, so that he would have the capital to counterattack the Arabian Peninsula.

"I can't." Lin Zuoda understood Chang Ruiqing's thoughts, but the situation of the caliphate's army did not allow for an offensive now: "The caliphate's army also suffered certain losses in the second Middle East battle, especially the heavy losses of the armored forces, losing most of the tanks and armored vehicles. In addition, the Indian Red Army in the Middle East was very strong, and although they had suffered heavy losses in previous battles, with at least 1 million casualties, these casualties were quickly replenished. The General Staff of the Caliphate believed that if Egypt was to be counterattacked in the short term, it would have to be directly supported by the Chinese Wehrmacht, at least one armored cavalry corps and two air divisions, in addition to the cooperation of the German side. ”

"Yu Xun," Chang Ruiqing asked Wu Shidao, commander-in-chief of the army and vice minister of defense, "can you get one armored cavalry corps and two air force divisions?" ”

"These forces can be brought out if there is no major military operation in Siberia and Central Asia." Wu Shi thought for a while, and then said, "Yaoru, when will India's combat preparations be launched?" How many troops do you need to prepare? ”

"Stone piercing, what do you say?" Chang Ruiqing asked Peng Dhuaidao.

Peng Dhuai was extremely reluctant to attack the Indian GCD, but as a soldier, he still answered truthfully: "Although the Indian GCD is very popular, not all Indians enthusiastically support them. The original Hindu untouchables were the most fond of Indian GCD, and Mslin, especially in Northwest India and Afghanistan, was not very fond of GCD. So if we were to use troops against the whole of India, we would need at least 2 million to 2.5 million troops, and we would have to deal with the problem of managing large areas of occupation and more than 300 million people in the occupied territories. ”

"No, we will not use troops against the whole of India."

Peng Dhuai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "In this case, 1 million troops should be enough." ”

"Is it the Wehrmacht or the friendly forces?" Chang Ruiqing asked again.

"It's the Wehrmacht, the Chinese Wehrmacht!" Peng Dhuai emphasized. Although his Chinese expeditionary force has a Chinese brand, the main force is the South Korean Defense Force, and its combat effectiveness is not a little bit worse, otherwise it would not have been defeated by India's Ah San. He paused and said, "If it is replaced by a friendly army, I am afraid that it will take more than 2 million to achieve the goal." ”

"Jiansheng, what do you say?" Chang Ruiqing looked at Bai Chongxi.

"Yaoru," Bai Chongxi pondered, "The expansion and training of the Allah Party army has been completed, and it is currently armed with 600,000 people, turning into 4 group armies, 12 armies and 36 divisions, all weapons and equipment are Soviet weapons, and there is no shortage of artillery and tanks. In addition, the Indian Muslim coalition army has now expanded to 400,000, and its equipment is also dominated by Soviet weapons, which is not comparable to the Allah army. Speaking of this, Bai Chongxi suddenly frowned: "But now there is a problem, Allah and the Indian Ms Lynn Alliance are playing their own calculations, both sides want to be the boss, and no one obeys anyone." ”
