The news of Japan's secret mobilization announced the complete rupture of peace in the Far East.

Therefore, the day after arriving in West Borneo, Dai Yunong and Zhuang Meisheng convened the Chamber of Commerce to mobilize. Whether it was the overseas Chinese who had just been evacuated or the local merchants of West Borneo, when they learned that war was about to break out around them, they all took active action. Du Yuesheng also took advantage of the opportunity of relocating evacuated overseas Chinese to build dormitories, warehouses, and airports in Pontianak and other places, and built fortifications and positions in important areas to prepare for the stationing of domestic troops." He also organized all the factories in West Borneo, took the initiative to liaise with the country, and threw himself into the vast manufacture of armaments. Zhang Haidong also immediately gathered the security teams scattered everywhere to conceal the British and Dutch, trained in Pontianak Jinháng, and began to form a militia group. According to his plan, at least 30,000 reserves should be organized before the start of the war in Japan, so as to ensure that after the main domestic forces are stationed, there will be enough second-line supplementary forces.

The country also took advantage of the opportunity of the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and continued to send supplies, weapons and ammunition to West Borneo Jinháng stockpiled in advance, and also brought hundreds of anti-aircraft guns for the first time to prevent the Turán attack of Japanese aircraft. Now that the eyes of Britain and the Netherlands are all on Japan, and they both want to unite with Beijing, they have also taken a tacit attitude towards such actions. At the same time, the Second Fleet also took action, including two Taiwan-class heavy cruisers, two Tumenjiang-class light cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 16 submarines, to deploy to the Natuna base for the first time, and once again strengthened the base's air defense forces. Originally, Bingwen also wanted to send two Anhai-class battleships to station, but Natuna Bijing is not Honolulu and lacks a good port to garrison the Grand Fleet, so this scale Yijing is the maximum capacity of the current base. And this is still based on controlling the security of West Borneo, ruguo West Borneo is lost, and Nàme Natuna cannot be held in any way. Of course, Ruguo can take the Anambas Islands, which have a good deep water bay. It would be possible to secure the stationing of the Grand Fleet, but now it is still controlled by the British.

Britain, there are too many good turf to control. Yang Qiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the Anambas Islands that he had rejected, and secretly shouted a few pities in his heart. Only then did he turn to Song Ziqing and Jiang Fangzhen, who had come to discuss the military situation, and asked, "How do you arrange Zhang Haidong's security team?" West Borneo is still short of shime stuff? ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Song Ziqing took the black tea from Lu Bicheng's hand, moistened his throat and replied: "At the beginning of the establishment of the security team, according to the standards of the Marine Corps, the officers were also selected from the Marine Corps and dispatched, so Chen Shaokuan and I meant that after the war broke out in Japan, they would be officially organized into the Third Marine Division. Now there is no shortage of human resources in West Borneo. Shipbuilding and steelmaking are complete, but the scale is slightly smaller. I said hello to Li Shixing, and he will take advantage of the recent evacuation of overseas Chinese to deliver supplies to Borneo in advance in the name of the Ministry of Communications. Our plan was to dispatch the 2nd Marine Division, the 11th Army, the 17th Independent Brigade, and three mixed air force wings from Yamaguchiyang and Pontianak to West Borneo at the same time in the name of protecting overseas Chinese. ”

"Six divisions. A brigade, the capacity is arranged? ”

"Since the beginning of the year, a total of 11 ro-ro ships, 161 10,000-ton ships and 7 oil and water ships have been delivered. In this way, the 11th Army could get on board nearby. Coupled with the temporary requisition of transport ships, more than 400 ocean-going ships can be gathered in half a month at most to ensure the first batch of transportation tasks. "Song Ziqing's plan is still very solid, not to mention that at present, Yijing has begun to hoard supplies, and only four hundred transport ships can ensure the delivery of two and a half million tons of materials, equipment and ammunition. It is possible to ensure that six or seven divisions fight a few tough battles. But West Borneo is not the main target yet, Yang Qiu is more worried about distant Saudi Arabia, and continues to ask: "After the war." Japan must have hit Sumatra first, Malaya, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar, and there is a high probability that the Strait of Malacca will be cut off! If something happens to Iran after the strait is broken, how are you going to respond? ”

Song Ziqing said: "The worst thing is to lose Saudi Arabia, but my country's current oil reserves are 100 million barrels, and the domestic oil fields can basically meet the needs of the war, so even if it is lost, it will not have much impact." But the president can rest assured that it is not as easy as nàme to lose Saudi Arabia! Since last year, we have been stockpiling supplies in Saudi Arabia and have shipped a large number of trucks, ammunition and spare parts on behalf of Gulf Oil. This is the first step, and the second step is the preset ship method you proposed. You see, this is Anpu Port deep on the Leizhou Peninsula. The Navy has deployed 66 10,000-ton bulk ships stuffed with tanks, armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition according to your idea of preset ships. Between now and the end of the year, there are 51 10,000-ton ships to be delivered, and they will then be loaded and sailed here as pre-positioned ships for temporary storage. As long as Japan is waiting for war, the Second Fleet will escort these preset ships to Malacca, ahead of Japan, to Addu Atoll in the Maldives. ”

Prepositioning ships were a means of the later U.S. global naval strategy, in order to achieve rapid intervention, loading cargo in advance and then mothballing the ship, so that complex and time-consuming shipments could be reduced. Of course, the pre-positioned ships of the United States need to be supported by huge industrial capacity, because pre-positioned ships are equivalent to preparing two sets of equipment and materials. The current Republic of China certainly does not dare to waste so much, and it has no opportunity to deploy pre-positioned ships in major strategic ports in Shijiè for the time being, but before knowing that war is about to break out, it is not too much of a problem to pre-position the weapons, equipment and materials of more than 100 freighters. So Song Ziqing continued: "Although the Indian Ocean is the traditional sphere of influence of the United Kingdom, as long as we hide in the Addu Atoll, they can't do anything. However, in my opinion, there is no need to hide for too long, because the news came back from Moscow that Stalin was very happy when he heard that we had bombed the Balikpapan oil fields, and that night he called a meeting of the senior officers of the Caspian and Caucasian fronts, presumably in order to take advantage of the fact that Japan was going south to Malacca, and eat Iran in one bite. ”

"It's a good way to preset the boat." After listening to this, Jiang Fangzhen gave a forsythia thumb in pángbiān and said with a smile: "Adu Atoll is 70 kilometers from north to south and 50 kilometers from east to west, which can avoid strong winds above level 8, and hundreds of ships can be parked in the atoll." At present, the navy has deployed an aviation brigade there, a squadron of water reconnaissance planes, with 200,000 tons of fuel and sufficient ammunition in reserve, and six destroyers responsible for patrolling the Indian Ocean. Coupled with the fact that the Second Fleet is ready to send 2 aircraft carriers to protect the consorta, there will not be much trouble unless Britain and Japan take the initiative to attack us. As long as they wait for news from Iran, they can immediately leave for Saudi Arabia, so that the soldiers can take the air route from Kashgar to Saudi Arabia, saving the shijiān and trouble of transporting heavy equipment. ”

Yang Qiu was happy to hear the news of the Soviet army, but Malacca was a matter of whether the Soviet Union could quickly send troops to Saudi Arabia in the name of protecting oil after the Soviet Union went south, even if there were pre-installed ships, they could only ensure the first batch of supplies, so he didn't dare to have any slack, and asked: "You say, will Japan blockade us immediately after it makes a move?" ”

Song Ziqing shook his head: "It depends on when the Soviet army goes south." If it is the middle of next year, Japan will definitely not come looking for trouble. Because since the Japanese military department was determined to move south, at least ten of the twenty divisions at present in Nàme should be used. The 30 divisions mobilized this time will take half a year from recruitment to training at the earliest, and taking into account the transportation capacity required for deployment, it will take at least two to three months more. In other words, the troops of this fluctuation will go to the battlefield at least until the end of October next year. So this shijiān is the weakest shijiān in Japan, Korea, and the homeland! No matter how stupid the Japanese military department is, Malacca is our lifeline, and whoever breaks it will be beaten! So as long as you don't make a fool, you will definitely try your best to make friends with us during this period, if you really blockade the Strait of Malacca! I don't mind fighting first. After decades of being the Minister of National Defense, Song Ziqing watched the Wehrmacht grow from weak to strong, so not only was he not nervous, but he secretly hoped that Japan would block the strait first, so that he could justifiably seize Singapore and Sumatra.

"Hehe, it seems that Ziqing was damaged by Yue Peng's guy." Jiang Fangzhen laughed, got up and took two steps to think about it, and said: "The bombing of the Balikpaban made Japan see my country's advantages in aviation, and I have to endure it before I can make up for the shortcomings." It can be confirmed that once the Japanese army strikes, it will definitely be a thunderous momentum, and Malaya and other places will not be spared, and as for the Philippines and Singapore, whether they will fight or not depends on the attitude of us and the United States. However, now that the British army has a total of 130,000 troops in Singapore and Malaya, it should be no problem to hold it for a few months. ”

A few months? Yang Qiu didn't want to hit Jiang Fangzhen, in his opinion, it would be against the sky if the British army could block it for a month. Now the key is what to do with Singapore! Ruguo grabbed Singapore before Japan, nàme Japan will definitely be desperate and Ziji, Ruguo will give up fighting in the future, and will not be able to ensure the safety of the strait.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Lu Bicheng suddenly walked in, still holding a telegram in his hand: "Chenhua, it's Shaochuan's urgent telegram." I heard that it was Gu Weijun's telegram, Yang Qiu didn't care that the two of them were still on the side, so he grabbed it. Before Song Ziqing and Jiang Fangzhen could mingbái, they saw the corners of his mouth bend suddenly, and couldn't help but look at Lu Bicheng, who came in with some reports: "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Bicheng said: "It was sent back from Paris by Shaochuan. It is said that Britain and France compromised and signed the Munich Agreement with Germany to cede the Sudetenland without the appearance of the Czech government representatives. ”

"A bunch of idiots!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fangzhen couldn't care about etiquette anymore, and slapped the table and scolded despite Lu Bicheng's presence. Although the Sudetenland crisis was so loud that Chamberlain could not even take care of the Far East for the time being, this outcome was really difficult for those of them who were soldiers to accept. In the case of superiority in troops and strength, the soft bones actually went to compromise with Germany, and the face of the British Empire for hundreds of years was lost! …… (
