Chapter 775: Analyzing the Powerful Relationship
Haig nodded after listening to Xia Fei's words and said: "I also feel this way, but Zhang Xiaozhun has not announced all the battle plans, and we don't know what they want to do. ”
Speaking of this, Haig sighed again: "Even if Cai Yi uses us as cannon fodder, what can we do?" The battle order has been issued, we can't oppose and disobey at all, the consequences of disobeying the military order, they will kill people! It is said that when the Chinese general named Wang Shizhen was the commander of the Balkan Army, he killed dozens of generals, and the generals of the Balkan countries were afraid of being killed by him, in order to save their lives, they actually personally led the soldiers to charge, and the Austro-Hungarian army on the southeast defense line was defeated in this way, in some ways, the military thinking of the East did greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the combat effectiveness of our Western army mainly depends on equipment and numbers, and there are enemy troops in front of us, so we will fight over, Until the other side is defeated, we have never understood the truth that can be bypassed from the side, from the command art of war, the military thinking of the East is far more than one realm higher than the Western Yuan, after the invention of the airplane, the Chinese people actually came up with the idea of loading machine guns and bombs on the plane, which completely subverted the inherent form and concept of all wars! ”
Xia Fei didn't have time to listen to Haig's sigh here, the reason why he was so close to Haig was because he and Haig were not treated by their own heads of state, everyone was sympathetic to each other, hugging each other for warmth.
Xia Fei listened to Haig's exclamation, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." General Haig, now is not the time to say this. Are we just letting Cai Ye command us to be cannon fodder? ”
Haig glanced at Xia Fei and sneered, "What? Do you want to disobey orders? Perhaps the Chinese people's guillotine knives have long been sharpened. Just waiting for you to disobey orders! ”
Xia Fei heard this: "I won't joke with my old life, I naturally won't disobey orders, but I will definitely not let our French boys be used as artillery fire!" ”
Haig sarcastically said, "Forget it, I think you French lads are so affectionate and affectionate that they don't have much passion for war at all, otherwise when Germany attacked France, your French boys would have dropped their weapons and turned and fled?" I think you should be ruthless in making the French lads brave on the battlefield, so that they can not only regain their courage. It also makes a lot of other French men wear one less green hat."
Xia Fei said angrily: "General Haig, now is not the time to joke, okay?" We don't even know their whole plans, so how can I feel comfortable ordering troops to attack the Russians? ”
Haig stood up and said: "The matter has become a foregone conclusion, if you don't agree, why didn't you bring it up during the meeting just now, and now tell me here, is it useful?" If you wish to disobey orders, please do so at your own peril. But don't try to drag me into the water, for though I feel sorry for the lives of our English lads, I cherish my own life and my honour as a soldier all the more. Xia Fei, do you remember the famous sentence that Napoleon said at the meeting just now? I don't think you're definitely the one who died with the last bullet in the last battle! All right. Thank you for the coffee, I'm going back to reorganize the army and prepare for war against the Russians, goodbye! ”
"Go, go, go. Hurry to your death, I'll tell you. If you were dead, I would never have put flowers in front of your tombstone! Xia Fei scolded and closed the door.
In the Allied High Command at this time. Cai Ye is talking to Zhang Xiaozhun.
Cai Ye drank tea and asked, "Yunnong, do you think those guys will seriously carry out our combat deployment seriously?" Will someone deliberately disobey in order to preserve their strength? ”
Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "None of them are stupid, there will definitely be people who will understand our intentions, and there will definitely be people who will not contribute to work in order to preserve their strength, but absolutely no one dares to disobey the order, and everyone knows what the consequences of disobeying the military order are!"
In fact, Songpa, you also know that joint operations are not good at this point, and all the departments are suspicious of each other, and they are all worried that they will be betrayed by friendly forces, so they are all separated from morality, and their strength cannot be used in one place, which has caused the dispersion of forces, but fortunately, the command power this time is in our hands.
The domestic instruct us to stop the offensive during the winter break may be due to the fact that we have been fighting for three months this time, and we are worried that our losses will be too large, so we are asked to wait until after the beginning of the spring before fighting, but our military expenses are limited, and we cannot let the armies of various countries rest all the time, and the purpose of our winter offensive this time is to use fatigue tactics to defeat Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia has been blockaded by us, they have no resources from abroad, and most of the areas around the Ural Mountains, which are the richest in resources, are occupied by our country, they can no longer live with the inexhaustible resources as before, and they have gone through two years of turmoil, and they cannot afford to fight a large-scale war in terms of their current industrial production capacity.
We are using fatigue tactics, and the generals do not understand our intentions, and they will certainly think that we are deliberately using their troops as cannon fodder, and this is the estrangement between the two sides."
Cai Yi nodded and said: "Yes, the estrangement between the armies of various countries and us cannot be eliminated, at least not for a short time. As for whether there will be people who disobey the order, this should not be, as you said, there may be people who deliberately save their strength and do not contribute to work, but it doesn't matter, when this is the case, we give a warning, we are holding a whip in the back, and if they don't make a force, we will take the whip to whip, if they don't give face, then don't blame us for ruthlessly cutting off their logistics, and then I see that they dare not work or contribute! When we get up until the beginning of spring next year, when the Soviet Russian side is also exhausted, and the armies of all countries are exhausted, and the weather is fine, we can give full play to the advantages of our mechanized troops, and let the Seventh Army Corps and the Eighth Army Corps crush the last resistance of Soviet Russia with an attack like a strong wind sweeping away leaves."
On December 8, the American forces were the first to attack, and under Statham's command, the American forces were not fast. This is mainly due to domestic reasons in the United States, where these American soldiers are concerned about the safety of their families at home. After all, the United States is so chaotic right now, and everyone is worried about their families having accidents in the war.
Nevertheless. Statham has no choice but to try to appease the officers and soldiers, in fact, the top brass know that if the war against Soviet Russia does not end, they will not be able to go back, and they can only disband and return to China if they defeat Soviet Russia as soon as possible, and defeat Soviet Russia to surrender or mainly ask for negotiations!
On December 12, Cai Ye went to inspect the US offensive troops. The speed of the U.S. army's advance did not satisfy Cai Yi, although the U.S. artillery fire was fierce and the ammunition was sufficient, but the Soviet army's fortifications were built well, and the lethality of the artillery fire was greatly reduced, and due to the weather, the U.S. army made little progress, while the Soviet and Russian sides have been resisting steadily.
During the inspection, Cai asked Statham why there was little progress, and Statham replied: "The main thing is that the soldiers are not fully focused on the battle. They are worried about their relatives back home, and they all want to go back as soon as possible."
Cai Yi thought for a while and said, "General Statham, let's convene a meeting of officers above the regimental level, I have something to say to them." It helps them in the war and in them."
Statham didn't know what Cai wanted to do, but he still agreed: "Okay, Your Excellency Commander!" ”
An army of 170,000 people. There were fifty or sixty regiment commanders, and then the brigade commanders, division commanders, and army commanders above the regiment commanders on the plane. The total number of people added up to nearly 100 people.
Cai Ye walked to the podium and looked at the nearly 100 senior officers and generals in the audience, and all of them stood up and saluted. He stood on the podium and saluted everyone, and after letting them all sit down, he said, "Gentlemen, I know what is going on in your hearts??????".
The interpreter translated every sentence Cai Ye said in pure American English, and the US generals and officers in the audience listened attentively.
"I know that you and your soldiers have no intention of fighting here, and you are worried about whether your families are still safe in the United States, and that they will be harmed in the war, yes, I understand your feelings, and if it were me, I would be like you. But I don't think you've thought it through, you don't know what you're supposed to do now. Even if I order you to return to the United States, do you think it's a good thing to go back now? The United States is now divided, forming as many as a dozen forces, you will definitely be involved in the domestic war when you go back now, either you kill him today, or tomorrow he will kill you, maybe some of you will attack each other at that time, this is not impossible, many times many things are not controlled by you, I believe you know this very well, maybe your superiors will give you an order to slaughter civilians from other forces, maybe these civilians include the parents and relatives of your comrades-in-arms, And your comrades-in-arms may also kill your parents and relatives, and even more tragically, you have received orders to slaughter a group of civilians, and among these civilians are your own parents and relatives, it is not impossible.
Therefore, the best thing for you to do at this time is not to go back, but to stay here in peace and wait until the situation in the country stabilizes.
Besides, even if I let you go back now, you can't go back, because there are not enough ships, and the U.S. government can't take care of you anymore, so you can only stay on the west coast of France, but I can tell you very responsibly that the French government will never allow you to stay on the west coast for a long time with weapons and equipment, and they will definitely disarm you, because you can't go back, and your stay in France will definitely threaten the security of France!
This is what I want to say to you, I hope you can stay in peace, and put all your mind on dealing with the Russians, only by defeating the Russians, you can go back, I can arrange ships on behalf of the Allied High Command to send you to the United States, after the end of the war, you and your soldiers, each of you will receive a special ticket to return to the United States issued by the Allied High Command and a dissolution fee, the special ticket will be valid for one year, during the year, you can use it at any time, after one year, The shipping company would settle the bill with the Allied High Command with a special ticket, and that's the way it is! So, if you want to go back as soon as possible, the best thing to do is to defeat the Russians with the fiercest attack! (To be continued......)
