Chapter 188 New Deployment

Deng Zixuan in the Ministry of National Defense said to the generals: "At present, the shape of the world has changed, and we cannot stick to the rules. In particular, Russia, a polar bear, bows down to its subordinates, and our western strategy will be heavily adjusted. In the future, the strategy of the Western Front will be based on political mediation and supplemented by military affairs. It is sufficient to maintain a certain military deterrent on the Western Front. Chief of Staff Pei Gejin said: "President, according to your strategic concept, the Ministry of National Defense, after careful study, has decided to set up a military region in Xinjiang, with a strength of 100,000 troops, taking into account the special situation in Xinjiang, mainly cavalry troops. ”

Pei Gejin continued: "The Central Cluster has cancelled the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, and the total strength will be maintained at 500,000. In addition, 100,000 officers and soldiers in the western region were cut to digest on the spot and the Xinjiang Military Reclamation Group was established. The central cluster of 1 million troops was transferred eastward and successively engaged in the American war. The original 200,000 men of the Burmese Front Army were reduced to 100,000, and 100,000 were retained, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were digested on the spot. According to the new strategy of the Ministry of National Defense, troops will be transferred to the United States one after another after the storm period ends, and the total strength of the expeditionary force will be increased from 2 million to 3 million. ”

Chen Jintang said: "President, according to your strategic vision, the pressure on the Western Front has been sharply reduced, and we can free up our hands to go all out to deal with the United States." According to the new deployment, by the end of the year, the armored brigade will be equipped with another 100 tanks, bringing the total number to 300. In order to speed up the process of conquering the United States, it is proposed to decide on two more squadrons and 150 fighter-bombers in the Army Air Corps. In addition, 10 transport planes will be put into service to the American theater by the end of the year, and this decision has been sent to the Expeditionary Force Command. ”

Navy Commander Fan Tao said: "The Pacific Fleet, the 1st and 2nd Aircraft Carrier Fleets continue to maintain military pressure on the American continent in accordance with the overall strategy of the Ministry of National Defense. According to the progress of the American battlefield. Next year, the Admiralty will capture Panama and control the Panama Canal, creating conditions for the Imperial fleet to enter the Atlantic. Deng Zixuan said: "As our military operations in the United States continue to make progress. I believe that the American continent will soon see serious changes. This is evidenced by the independence of California and the silence of the entire South American continent. ”

Chen Jintang continued: "The strategic plan for speeding up the occupation of the United States has been sent to the Expeditionary Force Command, and it is estimated that by the end of July, the operational plan drawn up by the Expeditionary Force Command will be submitted to the Ministry of National Defense. The third phase of the expeditionary force's military operations began in mid-August, and the expeditionary force command provided the following information: U.S. forces continued to move forces and formed new lines of defense in Salt Lake City, Haight, New Mexico, and Tucson. According to the Air Force repeated reconnaissance. The U.S. military has continued to mobilize troops, and the strength of the entire U.S. defense line has reached more than 3 million people, and it seems that the U.S. military will continue to resist stubbornly by taking advantage of the depth of its territory. ”

Chen Jintang continued: "According to the reconnaissance report of the Air Force of the Expeditionary Force. In the direction of Salt Lake City, the US military was found to be building an airfield, and it seemed that the new American fighters were about to be put into operation. The Expeditionary Force Command has ordered the air force to strike at the air as soon as enemy aircraft are detected on the front line. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "With the scientific and technological strength and manufacturing capacity of the Americans, it is not surprising that there are fighters. U.S. forces build airfields on the front line. It shows that the air power of the US military has begun to take shape. As for how the combat power of the US Air Force is, there is no need to worry. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "We must warn the headquarters of the expeditionary force not to underestimate the enemy. Although it can be judged that the US Air Force is ready for World War I, the Americans cannot yet call it an opponent in terms of fighter performance, cruise capability, and air combat experience, but they cannot underestimate the Americans' determination to resist. Given the strong manufacturing capacity of the United States, prevent the Americans from winning by numbers. There is a way that a good tiger can't control a pack of wolves. All fighters should be used in a concentrated manner, the center is the main direction of the offensive, and the army aviation team should be fully engaged in air support operations in the center. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "The armored forces are also mainly engaged in mid-lane attack operations. It is necessary to form an iron fist that constantly tears apart the defense line of the US military. Gradually crushed the determination of the American army to resist. Given the gradual knowledge and awareness of tank fighting vehicles by the Americans, I believe that the Americans will soon create tank fighting vehicles. But the tanks and combat vehicles made by the Americans, if they want to reach our level, they will not be able to do it in the short term. The judgment in this regard should warn the Expeditionary Force Command to pay close attention to the new situation that has emerged in the US military. ”

Pei Gejin said: "President, as of mid-July, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters reported that the occupied land was carried out very smoothly by fighting and nourishing the war, according to incomplete statistics, 500,000 mu of newly reclaimed land, plus the original 150 mu of farmland, nearly 2 million mu of farmland were all planted by the banker. Today is going well in California, and agricultural officials expect that we will be completely self-sufficient in food by the end of the year. Our logistical pressures have been greatly eased, which has created the conditions for us to continue our recruitment. Everyone smiled when they heard this.

Pei Gejin continued: "San Francisco and Los Angeles have a strong industrial base, especially Los Angeles, as the largest industrial city on the West Coast of the United States, has not been very severely damaged by the war. In addition, industrial facilities in San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, and Carson City are being restored, albeit after extensive damage. By mid-July, the railway lines had basically been restored, and according to the report of the Expeditionary Force Command, our ammunition self-sufficiency rate had reached 30 percent, and by the end of the year it could reach 70 percent."

"At present, the Republic of California is in normal operation, with four coal mines resuming production, power supply resuming 60 percent, and five gold mines resuming production in California, which is creating conditions for the gold standard monetary policy. With the resumption of the Republic of California, shipping was restored on a large scale, and after the storm ended, California's direct maritime trade routes to the Empire were opened. At present, the number of immigrants to California has reached 50,000, and the number is still increasing. Private capital is also beginning to jump forward and prepare to invest in California. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a hearty expression: "The conquest of the United States is the last battle of the empire, world peace has shown the dawn, and the Chinese century will come." After the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by the German Empire, his strategic objectives were largely achieved. Given that Russia had capitulated and signed a peace treaty with the Chinese Empire, it was expected that the Germans would also die down after gaining the benefits of the Baltic states. At present, the three Nordic countries have submitted to Germany, and the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and Portugal have also made overtures to Germany. Especially after the fall of the Italian government. The new Italian government has completely turned to Germany, and a pattern of German dominance has been formed in the future. ”

"Our purpose in curbing the Germans from continuing to use troops against Russia is to limit the ambitions of the Germans. This world is the world of the strong. We have used the Germans for our purposes, but we must also limit the unlimited expansion of the Germans. After the Germans were confined on land, I guess they were going to make a fuss at sea, and the next step was probably to target the British. However, one can rest assured that Germany is going to be far away if it wants to build a strong navy. ”

Deng Zixuan's eyes were deep and said: "Since Annan raised the army, we have been fighting continuously for more than 20 years. More than 20 years of conquest. The results have far exceeded our expectations. Defeat the giant of America, and we have no rivals in the world. It has been said that Germany is on the rise of the fast. is our potential enemy. We will take all kinds of measures to contain this potential enemy, so that he can become a regional power, but we must not make him a world military power. ”

"From now on, the Chinese Empire will be the only and powerful giant. Giants mean the law of the jungle. Giants are meant to make people look up to the mountains. We must not only continue to maintain strong armaments, but also work soft power, and gradually form a consensus on China in the world while continuously exporting Chinese culture. Everyone should remember that conquest by force will not last long, and only culture can create a common prosperity in the world, which is the core task of the empire in the future. It is also our goal in the future. ”

In the evening of the same day, Kwong Jiazhi, Vice Premier and Minister of Agriculture, and Li Tong, the new Minister of Science and Technology, paid a visit. Li Tong served as the vice chairman of the Tongren Party and was transferred to the capital. At the same time, he was removed from the post of Governor of Burma and appointed Minister of Science and Technology of the Empire. The Ministry of Science and Technology is a newly formed department. For an empire to thrive in the field of science and technology, it must have a strong ministry to coordinate and direct. In the living room, Deng Zixuan and his wife Wan'er greeted the guests in person, and the table was already set with wine and food. Kuang Jiazhi and Li Tong walked into the living room with their wives, and after the guests warmly greeted each other, Wan'er beckoned the two ladies to another room for dinner.

"Brother Li, don't say goodbye to Nanning, pinch your fingers and count us as we haven't drunk together for more than 20 years. You have worked hard and done a great job in Burma. Today, Myanmar has a prosperous economy and people of all ethnic groups live in harmony, and you have contributed a lot. Deng Zixuan warmly praised it. President, you dare not forget your teachings, and you dare not get carried away. Li Tong looked a little uneasy, after all, he had a gap of 20 years with the president, unlike Kwong Jiazhi who was often with the president, and seemed to be at ease.

Deng Zixuan raised his glass and said, "The past is unbearable, look at our hair." Brother Li, there is no other meaning to invite the two of you to bring your wives here today. The first is to reminisce about the past, and the second is to take measures to build a country through science and technology. After drinking a glass of wine, Li Tong seemed to be a lot more stable and said: "President, I am a lowly and uneducated person, although I know a little about the field of science and technology over the years, I still feel that it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, please ask the president for guidance." The new era is changing with each passing day, and there is always a feeling of confusion that cannot keep up with the times. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Brother Li, being an official is pragmatic, and you and Brother Kuang are very appreciative to me in this regard." Over the years, you two have been diligent, down-to-earth, and have made great achievements in office. Kuang Jiazhi said: "The president has won the award, without you, there would be no two of us today's achievements, this qiē is the result of your teachings." Deng Zixuan waved his hand and said: "Where is this reminiscence, it's just singing hymns!" I think we'll get down to business, maybe I'll feel better. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Li Tong's restraint seemed to be relieved.

Deng Zixuan continued: "The purpose of establishing the Ministry of Science and Technology is to integrate existing resources. At present, scientific research institutes have sprung up one after another, and a general consensus has been formed in science. In particular, foreign scientists come to China everywhere, and the good and bad are mixed. Therefore, the establishment of the Ministry of Science and Technology is to integrate various human resources and formulate general policies and plans. Brother Li, you are in charge of people, not for you to engage in a certain scientific research. How to guide a direction and make the best use of people's talents is what you have to do. ”

Li Tong nodded and said: "President, I understand how to make the best use of materials and talents, give full play to the maximum potential of scientific personnel, and form an elite class in the field of science and technology." "That's right, we've chosen the right direction, we're unswerving, and we're persevering. In the future, if the empire wants to become a scientific and technological power in the world and even a scientific and technological power, it must take precautions now. On this night, Deng Zixuan looked forward to the great changes that will take place in the field of science in the future, and let the two once again appreciate his whimsical ideas and differences.
