Chapter 430: China Jask Oil Base

"Send a telegram to all the radio stations on the Japanese side and order them to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese official leadership. At the same time, he also ordered the spies on the American side to always pay attention to the next moves of the United States. ”

Chen Shao didn't know what would happen next, and now he could only order the spies to step up intelligence spying. He believes that as long as he has first-hand information, he will be able to react in a timely manner.

"Yes." Chen Hong replied, and after a while, he spoke up again: "Report to the commander, someone is looking for it above." ”

There was no superfluous nonsense, Chen Shao walked out of the command platform directly. After going around in a circle, I returned to the imperial study. At this time, Wang Jie was already waiting inside.

After seeing Chen Shao walk in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense has been prepared, and the generals at all levels have arrived, so they are waiting for you." ”

"Well, I see, you go out first, and I'll go over later." He waved his hand and gestured.

"Yes." Wang Jie turned around and walked out, closing the door by the way.

After sorting out the documents and materials in the imperial study, Chen Shao got up and went to the Ministry of National Defense.

The meeting was a routine military meeting, and there was nothing specifically to order. At the beginning of the meeting, I listened to a variety of briefings, and then gradually moved on to the topic.

"What is the current state of training for the new weapons and equipment of the three armed services?" As the most important killer weapon of the Chinese National Defense Force, the training level of the Red Police's weapons and equipment has always been an issue of concern to Chen Shao.

The more advanced the weapon, the more difficult it is to master, and this point has become very prominent in the weaponry of the Red Police. Today, the Chinese National Defense Forces already have a number of independent units that are all equipped with Red Alert weapons, but judging from the mastery of weapons by these units. It has not yet been able to fully exert the power of the Red Alert weapon.

At every routine military meeting, Chen Shao would ask this question.

As Minister of War of the Imperial Chinese Defense Forces, Chen Fuqin stood up and said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, at present, the first new armored group army directly under our army has been able to exert eighty percent of its combat effectiveness. The other army aviation units and armored units directly under the War Department can only exert 6 to 70 percent of their combat effectiveness. ”

After Chen Fuqin finished answering, Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan then got up and said: "At present, the Royal Fleet of the Chinese Empire has gone far out of the Pacific Ocean to carry out high-intensity confrontation training in the open sea. According to the latest report, the overall combat effectiveness of the Imperial Fleet can only be exerted at most 60%. ”

Finally, Qian Pengfei, who was the Minister of the Air Force, stood up and said: "With the intensification of the training intensity, the Royal Air Force Division of our empire has been able to exert seventy percent of its combat effectiveness during the day. As for the night. Only half of the combat effectiveness can be exerted. ”

From the beginning, the highly educated top-notch students of various units were selected to enter the training of Red Police weapons. Chen Shao took out a detailed set of parameters. It records the level of 100 percent combat effectiveness of these weapons and equipment, and uses this as a basis for evaluating the overall situation of the new weapons units.

This information was naturally taken out by Chen Hong, just as a reference table. And Chen Shao also directly handed over this data to the navy, land and air force. As a reference for judging strength.

"In the following year. It is necessary to speed up the run-in of soldiers and weapons. The basics are mastered. It's time to start building your proficiency. It is necessary to let the soldiers use these weapons like arms, and only in this way can they give full play to the combat effectiveness of these weapons and equipment. Chen Shao was very clear. The soldier is training intensively enough to reach a kind of limit, "We have also entered the war, and no one knows what will happen in the future." As the last shield of China, the most powerful force, you must be more strict with yourself. I know that the soldiers are tired, but this is war, and no one can back down. ”

If Japan had not stopped fighting the Allied forces, Chen Shao would not have been so eager. In fact, this incident sounded a wake-up call for Chen Shao, and anything can really happen.

Before, because of his innate limitations, Chen Shao always inevitably regarded his opponent as the countries of World War II in later generations. However, judging from the development of World War II today, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment, or the combat effectiveness of soldiers, it is much stronger than that of World War II in later generations.

The United States now has the V-1 missile, and God knows how long it will take to develop a ballistic missile like the V-2 with the level of science and technology and potential of the United States. Perhaps, in the future, China will also face missile strikes by the United States. It's not impossible.

It is now the United States, while building four super battleships of nearly 80,000 tons, it is also constantly building aircraft carriers, and the tonnage is getting bigger and bigger. Previously, the Japanese fleet was afraid of American Army aircraft and did not dare to approach the US mainland. This also gives the American mainland a chance to develop with peace of mind.

Now Chen Shao can be completely sure that as long as another year passes, the US naval strength will swell again. Definitely much, much, much stronger than the Pacific Fleet lost at Pearl Harbor.

The only thing China has a big advantage in is the Red Alert weapon, which is why he has become so urgent. It is really forced by the situation, and the background of Western countries is still too strong, give them an opportunity, and they can soar to the sky.

All the generals in the conference room looked at each other, they didn't know in detail, and they didn't understand why Chen Shao was in such a hurry. However, since it was Chen Shao's order, they would all support it. They all believe that Chen Shao has absolutely enough reasons to do this.

Throughout the history of the development of the Chinese Empire, Chen Shao has never made decisions that disappointed them, and now, they still believe in Chen Shao.

"Yes." The voice is neat and loud.

Chen Shao nodded, pressed his hands, and said, "Sit down!" Now about what's in front of us. How is the railway to the Persian Gulf running. ”

"It's going well, but with the beginning of the war, the small Allied forces are often sabotage, although the impact on our rail traffic is not very great, but it is always a trouble." Cai Ye replied.

This railway, which crosses Afghanistan and Iran, is an important communication line between China and the Persian Gulf. It took two years to survey and another ten years to build, and it can be called a railway with extremely difficult construction.

The difficulty of building this railway lies in the difficulty of China's Xinjiang to Afghanistan, and the next step is much simpler.

The opening of the railway has not only brought countless benefits to Afghans and Iranians, but also brought many other things. Locals also welcomed the emergence of this railway. Afghanistan is because sovereignty does not lie with the Afghans, while Iran has a good relationship with China.

In later generations, the current Iran would have joined the Allies in declaring war on Germany. At present, Iran has not yet made a statement, mainly because China is behind it.

In fact, since Chen Shao extended his hand to the Bay Area, the power of Britain and France in this place has shrunk again and again. Iraq and Iran declared independence, and Britain lost the capital to compete with the Soviet Union for Afghanistan, all of which made Britain's influence in the region less and less.

Especially after Britain gave up what little territory they had left to China, the power of the British became even smaller here. Even Saudi Arabia lost control and became an independent state.

At present, the British only exist in the area of Pakistan (for the convenience of everyone, I will write Pakistan, which was called India at that time, but it was controlled by Muslims), and the British also used their military power in Pakistan to often infiltrate Afghanistan and Iran and sabotage the railways.

Moreover, China's oil base in the Gulf is not far from British-controlled Pakistan, just off Jask in the Sea of Oman.

"The current situation must be changed, the existence of oil is very important, and we must ensure the safety of this passage. The Soviets need not worry at the moment, but the Anglo-American Allied forces in India are strong enough to pose a serious threat to our oil bases in the Gulf. ”

Oil is an important strategic resource for the country, especially after the outbreak of war. Chen Shao understands, and the generals here also understand.

"Your Majesty, now there is only one infantry division in Jask, should we send another infantry division from the Tibetan region to strengthen the defense force there? The strength of more than 10,000 people is not enough. Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "And there are many Chinese living in that place, many of them are family members of oil workers, I am really worried that one day, it is very likely to cause a tragedy." ”

"Now send an infantry division from Tibet over, how long will it take to arrive." Chen Shao understood what Jiang Baili meant, in fact, he had been thinking about increasing troops to that place.

"If you're going by rail, it's going to take four days." Jiang Baili replied.

"Then order the Tibetan Military Region to draw out the strength of an infantry division and go to Jask, let them leave immediately, and within five days, I will see a complete infantry division arrive in Jask." After giving this order, Chen Shao still felt that it was not enough, and then continued: "Order the Indian Ocean Fleet to go to the waters of the Oman Sea immediately." Oh, by the way, what is the size of the marines of the Indian Ocean Fleet? ”

Chen Shaokuan replied: "There is only one regiment, but it is a reinforced regiment, with 4,000 people. ”

"Okay, send me this reinforcement group too."

Everyone in it didn't expect that Chen Shao would suddenly make such a decision. Before, it was only to increase the defenders there to a division, but now it seems that there is an idea of increasing it to an army, and even the Indian Ocean Fleet will have to be transferred.

There was no sign at all, which surprised them at the same time, but they also felt that Chen Shao's move was a little nervous.

In fact, Chen Shao couldn't say why he suddenly wanted to increase his troops in the Jask area, but whenever he talked about it, he always had a faint sense of crisis, which came very suddenly, and even he couldn't say why.

PS: I came back last night with an empty head, and I really can't get out. I took a nap, got up at two o'clock in the morning, and at seven o'clock in the morning, I coded these two chapters.

There are three chapters today, one chapter to make up for yesterday's less change, and one chapter in the evening will be at eight o'clock. (To be continued.) )
