Chapter 492: Superfleet on
While the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense were busy making plans, mobilizing troops, deploying the landing in the UK. The plan to land in the United States, which was jointly composed of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense and the Navy Command, was also in full swing at the same time to make final revisions.
Fleets are being mobilized, aircraft carriers are being assembled in large formations, and the entire maritime program will be unprecedentedly large.
"Chairman, the landing in the United States has not changed much according to the original plan. The Hawaiian Islands will be our first target, using strategic transport aircraft to transport troops from Guam to the airfield in Hawaii, taking over the area, and then creating a strategic deterrent to all parts of the United States.
At the same time, our superfleet will sail in both north and south directions, towards the Hawaiian Islands, eventually landing in several states that we have acquired. ”
Jiang Baili finished speaking, paused, and looked at the chairman who was pondering.
Half a year ago, the General Staff and the Department of Defense, the Navy Command received a top-secret order to draw up capable staff officers to develop a plan aimed at landing on the west coast of the United States, and the goal given at that time was to occupy the United States for four weeks, and now there is one more state.
Alaska, California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, these five states are either strategically located or resource-rich.
Moreover, in terms of the overall geographical distribution, Hawaii can be used as a large rear base for China's maritime strategic deterrence, while the four states on the west coast can be combined with Canada as a whole, and can form an annular encirclement of the entire United States.
It can be said that even Eisenhower saw that the living environment of the United States in the future would be very bad. Even if China does not deliberately deal with the United States.
Zhang Shusheng stared at the huge map of the sea situation in front of him, which was full of various red flags marking every stage of action. It is actually more difficult to land in the United States and take over those five states than it is to land in the United Kingdom.
The British were cornered, they could not even leave the country, the fleet was also guarded by the German fleet, and the little British peninsula was a real end of the road.
And the Americans, even though they were forcibly robbed of Canada and five states, at least nominally retained that large territory.
"Chairman, now the Chinese in the United States, especially in the San Francisco area, have spontaneously organized a grand march after learning the news that our empire will take over these cities.
They even invite dragon and lion dance teams, singers, and entertainers everywhere to prepare for the so-called landing party, as if they were preparing for the New Year's celebration. ”
Cai Ye also said happily.
Landing in the United States is a grand event, and naturally it is a grand festival for millions of Chinese in the United States.
Zhang Shusheng raised his head and said with a smile, "In the past, some of these people were sold, some went to pan for gold, and some were arrested as laborers, in short, they suffered a lot. However, we Chinese are good at struggle, and we can take root wherever we fall.
But one of the biggest differences between us and other nations is that we are nostalgic for the old.
Every Chinese, no matter how far he goes, has a root in his heart, that is, the motherland. ”
Before the crossing, Zhang Shusheng had seen a lot of such a situation, many old men, with gray hair and faltering steps, but they still returned to China thousands of miles away.
They're not coming back to show off their wealth overseas, they're coming back to see their homeland.
They stood in front of the tombs, the tombstones that symbolized their ancestors, quietly meditating, and feeling the taste of their hometown.
Listening to the local sound and looking at the familiar land of China, they feel that a lifetime, even if it is only this moment, is worth it.
They used the money they had earned through hard work overseas to build schools, build bridges and roads, build libraries, and set up education funds...... There are too many feats that only the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation can do. They are not simply for fame and fortune, but want to make a little contribution to the homeland and the land haunted by dreams as an overseas traveler, proving that they have come back, they are sons and daughters of China, and they have never forgotten their roots.
"Chairman, I've heard that among their marching slogans, they also put up a slogan welcoming the chairman to inspect the committee." Jiang Baili said.
"Let me go?"
Zhang Shusheng was slightly stunned, and then said, "I should go there, so let's wait for the situation to calm down a little, I'll go to San Francisco." ”
"Is the chairman really going?"
Jiang Baili, Cai Yi, and Deng Haoqian were all stunned, but they didn't expect to mention it casually, and the chairman of the committee, who rarely goes out, was willing to go.
"I used to rarely travel abroad because I didn't want to do things that I didn't want to do on other people's land. Now, several states in the western United States are our territory, and I went there to declare sovereignty on my own soil.
Second, I went to convey a message to the Chinese people all over the world that China will never abandon the Chinese. ”
Zhang Shusheng knew that because of the secret transfer plan before the nuclear strike, the Chinese in the United States were basically concentrated in these western states.
In fact, they are also afraid that the Americans will mess up during the transition of power, and they do not know how determined the central government is to defend overseas territories.
Moreover, they are also worried about whether overseas Chinese will be able to enjoy preferential treatment equivalent to Chinese citizens in other regions during the reorganization of the new regime, and so on.
In a word, they still have some worries about the central government's political axe, and they are apprehensive. Both happy and frightened, this should be the complicated mood of the wanderers when they found out overnight that the so-called overseas had become the land of China in a blink of an eye.
"That's really good, as long as you do a good job of security, the chairman's line is to support and cheer up my overseas sons and daughters of China, and announce to them the start of a new life."
Deng Haoqian also said happily.
The idea was made, Zhang Shusheng didn't say much, and after discussing the show again, it was over.
"Chairman, your itinerary is all arranged!"
Mao Yun came to report first.
"Okay, we'll be in ten minutes."
Zhang Shusheng simply cleaned up, picked up the handsome windbreaker and put it on, and walked out of the office building. The convoy of the Imperial Guard was already waiting there.
Sitting in the car, thinking about the person he was about to meet, his mood was still a little complicated.
Chiang Kai-shek, the former leader of the Republic of China, is now the director of the Imperial Library.
Two months ago, Zhang Shusheng signed a committee order to appoint many Kuomintang members, and he was also the last group of Kuomintang people waiting to be appointed.
Among them, for Chiang Kai-shek, from the director of the Imperial Library, became an honorary member of the People's Commissariat of the Reich, and his identity was similar to that of the political adviser of the Reich, and he could participate in politics in another capacity.
However, after receiving the appointment, Chiang Kai-shek did not sing the praises of virtue in one breath, but calmly wrote a letter to Zhang Shusheng, confessing his changes in his heart over the years and his feelings about the rapid changes in the empire.
In the letter, as a citizen, he expressed his gratitude to Zhang Shusheng.
This incident evoked Zhang Shusheng's memories of history.
Originally, in history, the Republic of China in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek was limited by the special environment at that time, with sharp social contradictions, political [***], and even more problems.
However, the entire Kuomintang system still has merit. Especially in the original history, they have suffered a lot of unfair treatment.
Of course, the greatest injustice is in the War of Resistance.
Those [***] officers and soldiers who fought bravely may end up very miserably.
The cold treatment of Chiang Kai-shek in these years has actually worked very well, he just stayed in the Imperial Library like that, doing academics and research all day long, and at the same time doing some public welfare, that is, he did not get involved in politics, let alone have any collusion with hostile forces.
Years of ordinary life have made him and Song Meiling from a high-ranking leader couple to ordinary people, it is definitely impossible to say that there is no loss, but he has indeed changed a lot.
Judging from the assessment report of the Ministry of Special Intelligence, Chiang Kai-shek actually had great mood swings in the first year, but he was able to calm down later. From unquiet to calm, a leader became the director of the Imperial Library, and his wife Soong Meiling became a university foreign language teacher.
At that time, Zhang Shusheng also thought that Song Meiling would be more unwilling to be lonely than Chiang Kai-shek, but it turned out that Song Meiling could have more of a lady's bearing, high and low, and her performance in teaching and educating people was still very good. She alone is proficient in several foreign languages.
On the issue of foreign languages, Zhang Shusheng implemented such an educational slogan: "In the past, you learned foreign languages well in order to go abroad to learn advanced Western ideas and cultural knowledge. Now, you are learning foreign languages so that one day you can destroy them. ”
Yes, learning a foreign language is about eliminating it.
In order to promote Chinese education on a wide scale, the empire needs a large number of loyal and proficient talents of various ethnic languages, so that in the process of promoting Chinese education, it can gradually wipe out the previous generation, the second or third generation, and defeat their culture, and finally disappear.
Therefore, the trend of learning foreign languages in the empire was still very strong, but it was free and not mandatory.
"Squeak~"
Soon, the convoy arrived at the Imperial Library, and the guards simply set up the security line, and did not evacuate the people who coincidentally came to the library to borrow books.
When people saw their beloved chairman get out of the car and walk into the library, everyone present gave warm applause.
"Welcome to the Chairman's visit to the Imperial Library."
Chiang Kai-shek was dressed in academic clothes and wore thick glasses, compared with more than ten years ago, the whole person was much older, and his face was no longer as grand as it was then, after all, it was 1933, and 14 years had passed since the glasses.
In 14 years, all the ambitions of a leader have been smoothed out. In 14 years, a once high-ranking person has been completely transformed into a person who adapts to life and work.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was born in 1987, was only 46 years old 14 years ago and was at the peak of his life, and today, 14 years later, he is 60 years old, which can be regarded as an old man.
Zhang Shusheng looked at it, and the impression of the powerful chairman was no longer available, but a half-silver-haired pedant who exuded a bookish atmosphere.
I took off my military uniform, put on my academic uniform, and that pair of thick glasses, and the crutches that were used as decoration in the past have now become real crutches.
"Chairman, I'm looking forward to your coming."
Chiang Kai-shek himself felt strange that in the past ten years, he had never really met Zhang Shusheng once, and even the chairman of the committee did not show up during the negotiations that year.
However, he was very sure in his heart that he and the chairman of the committee would definitely have a chance to meet.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of waiting, China has also changed from a dilapidated country to the strongest country in the world today.
This nation has achieved too many feats in the past few decades, especially in the past ten years, and has developed in all aspects of social life and economy.
The little unwillingness of the year has long been conquered by countless facts.
"I am not unjustly lost in this position, and the country is ruined, so it should naturally be broken and then established. Only a great man like Shen Xinggong can create such great achievements. Up and down for 5,000 years, there is not half a person who dares to compare with him. ”
This is what Chiang Kai-shek said to Song Meiling in private, that is, the most sincere evaluation of Zhang Shusheng.
"Over the years, I have also wronged you, Mr. Jiang, I will come to see you and talk about it by the way."
Zhang Shusheng smiled sincerely, now he no longer has any mustard for this former Chairman Jiang, and some are just feelings for an old man, and he already wants to make appropriate amends for him and his group, especially for the unfair treatment they received in the original history, and make up for what he can do.
"You're still used to it here all these years, right?"
In the garden behind the Imperial Library, Zhang Shusheng and Chiang Kai-shek walked side by side, while the guards and secretaries were left behind, and the two talked like old friends, casual and natural.
"Habit, very accustomed to it. After the defeat from Nanjing, I was taken care of by you, the chairman of the committee, and arranged me here. These 14 years of life are completely different from before. ”
Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile, and he didn't shy away from suspicion.
"Well, political struggles, the change of dynasties, naturally there are ups and downs, and Jiang Gong has such a mentality, which is enough to set an example." Zhang Shusheng said.
"I also want to thank the chairman of the committee, who has not been to blame for the past these years, arranged me and Neiko, and lived a dull and happy life for more than ten years. Looking back now, China seems to be getting farther and farther away in those years. ”
Chiang Kai-shek sighed.
"The past will always be in the past, and Commander Zhang Xueliang also took the initiative to ask for leisure to raise fish and flowers at home, hehe, people, the picture is quiet."
The two chatted casually a little more, and Zhang Shusheng mentioned the business he was here.
