Chang Ruiqing slowly walked into the operational command center set up in the Ministry of National Defense, during this time the world war had reached the end stage, so he was busy promoting the "second land reform", but he did not let go of the burden of military affairs.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong? Is it that the enlarged meeting of the political bureau did not go well? ”

Zhao Zhen, Wu Shi, Jiang Baili, as well as Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, Air Force Commander Yang Xianyi, and several of them have been waiting in the war room for a long time. Seeing Chang Ruiqing walking in with his head down, Zhao Zhen took the initiative to greet him and asked in a low voice.

"The discussion for a morning did not lead to anything." Chang Ruiqing shook his head, and then walked to the front of the map table, and a group of senior generals also gathered. Chang Ruiqing sighed slightly, and talked with the members of the political bureau of the party for a morning, and there was no result when his throat was smoking, saying that it was not depressed was false, how could he be so troublesome if he engaged in dictatorship? One sentence top 10,000 sentences is not over! But in the blink of an eye, he put away his mind and slowly glanced at everyone: "The progress of the Japanese Front and the Nanyang Front is quite smooth, and the rule of the government of the Republic of Japan is gradually consolidating. Ladies and gentlemen, during my absence from Nanjing, I ask you to worry more about military affairs. ”

Chang Ruiqing's visit is also very important, not just to show his face in Japan, but also to discuss with the leaders of the provisional government of the Republic of Japan about the referendum of the Republic of Japan to join the Great China Federation. In addition, I will stop by Pyongyang to discuss the issue of the Republic of Korea's accession to the federation with Ji Qingcheon of the Republic of Korea. It is estimated that the whole trip may take up to a week. Therefore, the matters on military affairs must be explained in advance.

Hearing Chang Ruiqing's order, Zhao Zhen first patted his chest and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry." There will be no variables on the battlefield, Lao Maozi has no intention of fighting east of the Ural Mountains now, our army is advancing very smoothly, if you want, Bai Jiansheng and Guo Maochen can fight to Europe and the Germans will join the city of Moscow in one go! ”

This is not entirely a big word, and now Trotsky is mobilizing his troops to defend Moscow like crazy, and he is not afraid of the atomic bomb. In short, fight to the death with the Germans in Moscow! If you can't win, you're probably going to die in Moscow. So the Chinese defense forces in the east are moving very quickly, and the only trouble is probably that there are many Russians in West Siberia and West Kazakhstan, and these people are not very easy to arrange at the moment. If there are no large enough concentration camps to hold them, they certainly cannot be killed -- the current Federation of Great China is a democratic constitutional state that convinces the people with virtue, and genocide and massacres cannot be carried out.

Hearing Zhao Fatzi's words, Wu Shi frowned slightly beside him. Shook his head. Although this action is subtle, it is all in Chang Ruiqing's eyes. Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Xunyu, what do you think?" Wu Shi shook his head, with a slight worry in his expression: "Gao Jian can't talk about it, but I just received a piece of information, which was sent by Tianyan, about GC Doctrine City." Trotsky seemed to have prepared a plan for the construction of a large stronghold on the Termell Peninsula near the Arctic Ocean. It will also hoard a large number of supplies and deploy a large number of the most loyal GC fighters. Persist in the struggle there! I heard that Skryansky, the number three person in the current Soviet GCD, the head of the Soviet secret service, Yue Fei, and Trotsky's son Lev. Trotsky had already gone to the GCIST city. ”

To be honest, this "GC city" reminds Chang Ruiqing of the "German national fortress" at the end of World War II, which sounds like a similar thing, and the ghost believes that relying on a stronghold established near the Arctic Ocean can pose much of a threat to China's rule in Siberia. But since Wu Shi has mentioned it, he must make arrangements. Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Zhen, this fat man didn't wait for Chang Ruiqing to open his mouth to ask, and hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister, the Northern Front is preparing to carry out a divisional sweep of the Soviet Red Army entrenched in northern Siberia, but the territory of Siberia is too big, the transportation is too inconvenient, and the climate is also very bad, so you can only take your time, and it will be good to be able to clear the remnants of the enemy in a few years." ”

"A few years is simply not enough." Wu Shi shook his head worriedly: "Although our Siberian Front is about to fight the Ural Mountains, we do not control most of the territory of Siberia, and now what is in our hands is only along and south of the Trans-Siberian Railway, 100 kilometers to the north, there will be Soviet guerrilla activities, and 200 kilometers to the north, there will definitely be a base of the Soviet Red Army." The command of the Northern Front estimated that there were at least 500,000 more Soviet Red Army troops currently operating in northern Siberia! And it is also distributed in a vast land of nearly 10 million square kilometers, which seems to have become a big problem for us! ”

Chang Ruiqing's thick eyebrows also frowned, as a traveler, he knew a lot about guerrilla warfare and the like, in the period before his soul pierced, Chinese TV programs were full of nonsense Eighth Route Army or New Fourth Army guerrillas, that combat effectiveness is estimated to be comparable to the current armored forces of the National Defense Force! It's really a miracle that little Japan was able to hold out for eight years under their blows...... Well, although the Soviet Red Army in Northern Siberia is certainly not as powerful as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, it cannot be taken lightly and must be dealt with carefully.

"Prime Minister, to fight a war and logistics, Lao Maozi's guerrillas can nest in the old forests of Siberia and swim without fighting, but they always have to eat, drink, and wear, and consume a certain amount of weapons and ammunition, right?" Jiang Baili suddenly reminded at this time: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to cut off the channels for Lao Maozi in Siberia to obtain foreign aid, and to prevent Britain and the United States from secretly helping them through the shipping lanes of the Arctic Ocean!" The Arctic Ocean is navigable during the summer months, and the ports of northern Canada and Las Vegas are within easy reach of the north coast of Siberia. ”

Chang Ruiqing set his eyes on Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the Navy: "Houfu, can you set up an Arctic Ocean fleet?" ”

Chen Shaokuan shook his head helplessly: "Prime Minister, this is very difficult, because we do not have a year-round ice-free port on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, and the fleet can only enter the waters of the Arctic Ocean in the summer, and must return to Vladivostok in the winter." Moreover, the coastal area of the Arctic Ocean is too vast for us to blockade even if we send a fleet in. The only feasible way was to send troops to capture the main ports on the Arctic coast in the summer, fortify them as a stronghold for blockade of the Soviet Red Army partisans, and build airfields inside the fortresses to deploy air forces and use them for patrols in the winter. ”

Chang Ruiqing snorted, his eyes turned to Yang Xianyi, and before he could ask, Yang Xianyi smiled and said: "Prime Minister, the Northern Front Command has already put forward a request to the Air Force to form a Siberian Air Command, and as soon as the war between Japan and the South Seas is over, the Air Force will be ready to put it into practice." ”

Chang Ruiqing asked Chen Shaokuan again: "Houfu, can the navy mobilize forces to seize a few ports along the Arctic Ocean coast of Siberia this year?" ”

"A few cruisers and destroyers can be transferred to form a detachment," Chen Shaokuan calculated in his heart, and said: "You can also transfer an aircraft carrier, and the transport ship group can transport the strength of up to one marine division." However, it is already June, and it may be early August to mobilize troops and fleets and rush to the destination, and I am afraid that it will not be too late to build a fortress before the arrival of winter. ”

"You can't use the Marine Corps," Wu Shi interjected, "troops should be transferred from the Northern Front, and those troops have experience in fighting in the alpine region." It's okay if you don't have time to build a fortress, but you must have enough ammunition to resupply, and I guess the Russians will attack the stronghold of our landing force in the winter, which is also an opportunity for us to drain their strength. ”

"Where are you going to land?" Chang Ruiqing thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to bring another Guangdong-class battle cruiser?" I heard that the Red Navy of the USSR had an Arctic Ocean fleet. ”

"The landing site can be selected in Tiksi, which is an important port located on the west bank of the Latjev Sea Gulf, near the mouth of the Lena River, and is an important port in Siberia, mainly responsible for the transit of freight between the Arctic Ocean and the Lena River, the Yana River, the Indigirka River and the Kolyma River. As he spoke, he took a whip and tapped it on the map at a small port on the northern coast of Siberia.

Chang Ruiqing glanced at the map and knew that this inconspicuous port was the transportation hub of the Russians in northern Siberia. Because there is no railway network and road network in northern Siberia, the only way to transport materials in large quantities is water transportation. And these rivers eventually flow into the Arctic Ocean, which then connects the Arctic Ocean to the city of G.C. on the Taimel Peninsula. This Tiksi is stuck at the mouth of the Lena River, and at the same time is located in the middle of the northern coast of Siberia, if this place is controlled by the squadron, and then deployed with air force or naval aviation, it is equivalent to blocking the main communication artery of the Taimel Peninsula and the central and eastern regions of northern Siberia.

"Very well, let's take this Tixipun." Chang Ruiqing nodded, I don't know if it was because the enlarged meeting of the political bureau in the morning was not going well, he was obviously a little distracted today, and he didn't have much heart to ask about military affairs again. "Alright, that's all for today. Tomorrow I will leave for Japan to inspect, so you should pay more attention to military affairs. (To be continued......)
