As soon as the leader speaks, any dispute must be suspended, and this is the fundamental difference between the group and the council.

The "General Rules", in which each member of the group signed his or her name with his or her fingerprint, stipulate that in the event of a dispute over the proposals at the group meeting, the leader will decide everything – in times of war, the leader is above all else!

Qianhua has the power to exercise the right to adjudicate when she deems it necessary, but now she does not want to use the legitimate power inherited from her father, she knows very well that her strength is not enough to ensure that the iron rules will not be reduced to a piece of waste, and the only chess piece available to her must not be easily revealed, and she must wait for the right moment......

"Elder Liu, tell me about it, what is the Indian strategy for Lu has not been proposed until now."

The timing is not just waiting for it, but also needs just the right amount of adjustment and guidance.

Liu Bailiang received the leader's command, and said confidently: "The reason why it is only now proposed to start the Indian war immediately after the Malayan battle is because at the beginning I was not completely sure of winning the naval battles in Hawaii and the South China Sea, nor did I expect that the Nanyang operation would be so smooth. The General Staff had the worst plans for the beginning of the war: first, the main force of the Southern Front Fleet defending the Philippine landing ground was routed by the main force of the enemy's combined fleet, and the landing force was in a desperate situation; Second, the mobile forces attacking Hawaii were completely annihilated by the enemy's ambush at night, and the main forces were forced to engage the enemy battle fleet head-on, unscathed.

"If things really come to that point, let alone the Indian strategy, it is unknown how far the Nanyang operation can progress so far."

"But it turns out that even we ourselves underestimated the power of the aircraft carrier mobile force. For what? Due to the limitations of the technique, it is not yet mature. What can a wooden plane do? I only hope to damage a number of enemy ships, make the already short-legged US fleet even more unable to run, and further widen the speed difference between the US fleet and our main fleet, so that Sa Zhenbing and the others will also have a chance to fight another naval battle in the South China Sea. ”

"However, as soon as the mobile force rushed to Pearl Harbor, we ourselves were dumbfounded, and the planes alone killed sixty percent of the enemy's capital ships, and the scheduled decisive battle of the main force was in vain, and the main force drove to Hawaii unharmed, although it failed to completely annihilate the enemy's main fleet, but still made a lot of money."

"On the other hand. Although the matter of Ma Shengyu's retreat is open to discussion, only a few old cruisers have been lost, and the task that was previously planned to be solved by the loss of the entire fleet has also been made. ”

"It is precisely because of these two big profits that the enemy's combined fleet in Nanyang lost its combat strength for a while, and our main force was able to quickly divide its troops and return to help. The control of the sea in the Southern Theater is guaranteed, and our army's supply fleet is unimpeded. Progress in the South Seas will be so rapid. ”

With the above premise, the Indian strategy can be so naturally presented as a formal proposal. In fact, whether it is the Indian strategy, the American strategy, or the Australian strategy, the military has seriously done war games, and the results of the deduction have been truthfully reported to the leaders for reference. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bailiang paused, squeezed out the so-called sincere gaze, and asked the leader for support.

"I've read all the reports." Qianhua said honestly, "According to the conditions set in the report, I also made deductions on the computer, and the results were roughly the same - the General Staff was still very attentive. I'm relieved. Elder Liu, you continue to say that the General Staff chose the Indian strategy as the official proposal. ”

Liu Bailiang nodded. Drinking saliva, he said awe-inspiringly: "The main strategic direction determines everything. ”

"Where is the main strategic direction? Eurasia, the island of the world. What is the main strategy? Open up the Eurasian continent, establish geographical ties with the allies, and at the same time liberate the Asian and African colonies of the Entente and weaken their war potential—"

"What is the purpose of landing in the United States? In order to contain the US military? Or is it to contain our army? The center of gravity of the United States is in the east, and how many jars and jars can be smashed by landing in the west? Let's be clear, if we die, we will be able to fight with 40 divisions on the other side of the Pacific, and if we do this, the Indian Ocean will only be on the defensive, and our only hope for joining forces with the Allies is to take out Russia, and the only way is the long railway with a different gauge from China and Germany. ”

|After the beachhead was established, it was necessary to establish a covering position in the interior, and after the covering position was consolidated, then go to the siege of the city, lay down one or two ports, and then receive reinforcements and supplies through the ports, and then slowly expand to the surroundings. But the Americans are not stupid, the American railways are so developed, and the communications are so developed, as soon as they find out that our army has landed, as soon as they make a phone call, look at the map, give an order, and as soon as the train is on, several regiments and divisions will rush over and surround you. ”

"Yes, we have amphibious armored forces, we have aircraft carriers, we have battleships, we can fight to the death at the beginning, we can take a piece of land, but this is not the same thing as when we landed on Oahu. Oahu was surrounded by us, the enemy killed one less, and our army was

The surging comes up; The place is small, and there is no need to think about supplies, and the chariots are driven from the north shore to stop and refuel; There is no need to think about counter-guerrillas, at most a few defeated soldiers hide in the mountains and starve to death sooner or later. ”

—

"On the mainland, it's completely different, let's compare it with Russia, Germany and Austria contain the vast majority of Russia's troops, we are still fighting so hard in the Far East, the United States does not need to consider the two-front battle on the mainland, and the industrial power is far above our country, let them sit on the mainland and wait for the fortification, we work hard to attack across the sea, isn't this a mistake."

"In the final analysis, we will never be able to defeat the United States on American soil, and the western part of the United States will become a meat grinder for our army, and our army will eventually be driven out of Haiti, which will deal a serious blow to morale and morale. The Americans are likely to be even more bitter because their homeland has been poisoned, and I am afraid that they will not give up until they attack our homeland, and it will be difficult to open the door to peace talks in the future. ”

Liu Bailiang paused, saw that Mo Ning still had a distrustful expression, shook his head, and took another sip of water.

"Some people may not understand what I just said, so I will briefly talk about the results of the wargame deduction. To land in the United States, it is a prerequisite to comprehensively pacify the South Sea, otherwise there will not be enough ships, and the landing operation will be unable to follow, and judging from the current progress in the South Sea, the United States will have to prepare at least by 56 months. It is estimated that during this period, the US military can complete the formation of 3,040 divisions. With superior naval and air support, our army may initially seize a narrow coastal strip as a stronghold and unite it through the north-south longitudinal railroad along the coast, and within 36 months after consolidating the landing ground, it will land 40 divisions. ”

"As the war entered 1916, the U.S. military strength would increase: 90 divisions and 400 men, and the navy would be able to replenish seven to eight dreadnoughts and a large number of auxiliary ships by the end of the year, and the basic combat strength would be restored to before Pearl Harbor. Even if it is fully supported, the dispatched army will be able to hold out until the beginning of the 17th at most - by then more than half of the divisions will be completely annihilated, and the total will be withdrawn voluntarily in the autumn of 16, and it is estimated that during this period, the casualties of our army will be more than equal to the number of divisions participating in the battle. ”

"Even so," Liu Bailiang suddenly increased his tone, "According to the best result of the war games against Russia, it will not be until the middle of the 16th year to solve Russia, and the German army will be able to transfer the Eastern Front Corps back to the Western Front at the earliest, and the Imperial reinforcements will not be able to rush until the end of the 16th year, and the American aid should also arrive in Europe in a steady stream, and the US military that has been honed by actual combat on the ground will have a more considerable combat strength, and from this point of view, it is probably thanks to our army for giving them the opportunity to exercise." ”

"And what about us, what did we get by consuming a lot of troops and materials on the other side of the ocean? The Indian Ocean, the coast of the Persian Gulf, and Australia, which have been designated as pan-interest circles, have all remained in the hands of the British, but at this time, the US Navy, which has recovered its breath, should also plan a major counteroffensive in the Pacific, and it will not be our turn to choose an opponent. ”

Hearing this, Mo Ning took off his glasses and stared at Liu Bailiang seriously: "But according to what Elder Liu said, if you don't fight the United States, the United States will have the ability to support Europe in 19**, I don't think that the formation can drag the Americans for two years, and when he has 60 divisions on hand, he will land with us, right?" ”

Liu Bailiang did not refute directly, but his tone calmed down.

"In the First World War, India provided 800,000 troops to the British, ~ New Zealand provided more than 500,000 soldiers, accounting for 10 percent of the total mobilized forces of the British Empire, and also obtained large quantities of war materials from India and Australia. If we attack India and at the same time assume the posture of attacking Australia, Britain will not only be unable to obtain the support of troops and materials in these areas, but will have to divide its troops to protect it, and the forces that can be put into the European theater will inevitably be reduced, and the insufficient supplies will have to reach out to the United States to ask for them, and to a certain extent it will offset the enhanced effect of US aid on Britain and France. When the American rookie, who has no actual combat at all, arrives on the European battlefield, it also takes time to train and adapt, and its initial combat effectiveness is limited, and it is difficult to play a decisive role. ”

"Moreover, if the best result of the war games can be deduced, the line can be opened in the middle of 16 years, and the situation in the Balkans develops normally, a new line of communication will be opened between our country and the allies, and compared with the line of communication through Russia, the first half of the line will be by sea, and the mileage of the second half of the railway will be only one-third of that of the railway through Russia, and the efficiency of aid to Germany will be greatly improved. At the same time, the advance into the Persian Gulf will also cut off the Allied countries' aid routes to Russia through Persia, and after the liberation of Persia, our army will unite with the Allied forces to form a close land encirclement of Russia, more effectively strike at Russia, and further disintegrate its fighting spirit. ”

Qianhua glanced at Mo Ning, who was looking down to wipe his lenses, and felt that the time had come.

"Yes, the main strategic direction is everything."
