Part 4 The Journey Chapter 176 Direction (4)
I'm not strict with discipline...... I usually don't do a good job in the ideological work of the department. β
Former General Zhang Yao, chief of staff of the army, hurriedly came to self-criticism.
"I think this kind of proposal makes a lot of sense." Liu Bailiang interjected coldly, and everyone's surprised eyes suddenly focused on him.
Qianhua pursed her lips and smiled: "Go on." β
"I read the proposal, and I did it very carefully, landing sites, tides, meteorology, land and sea coordination, air support, supplies, occupation policy, anti-guerrilla warfare - all aspects were taken into account, and the strategy was reasonable: taking advantage of our superiority in the eastern Pacific, turning the western United States into a battlefield, sucking his army into the homeland, making it impossible for him to increase his troops in Europe for a long time, and buying as much time as possible for us to open up the Sino-German communication line. The starting point is still good. β
"I think that such a proposal should not be beaten to death with a stick, and some of the steps in it still need to be implemented by the relevant departments to organize and implement them."
"For what?" Liu Bailiang asked himself, raised his eyes to see the reactions of everyone, and among the confused eyes, only the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress flashed with an intellectual light called "understanding".
"It's going to be for the Americans, to make them think we're going to land. The person who proposed the proposal should be promoted, let him organize a headquarters, appoint a well-known general as the commander, and make things happen in a decent and lively manner, with some accidents and leaks some secrets, and at the same time some mysterious tricks to make them think that we are creating a false impression that we are trying to cover up some major action. In addition, the work of the Mexican side should not be relaxed, put on a posture of attacking from both sides, and it is enough to drag him for a year or two, and there is time for this. Our plan for the Eurasian land bridge is almost complete. β
Zhang Zhigao, the No. 1 person in the civil service, suddenly asked: "Can it really drag on for a year or two just by putting up a ** formation?" In a year or two, will the land bridge really be opened? β
Liu Bailiang clapped his hands and smiled: "If you can't do it......"
"Let's prepare for the local war of resistance and keep the enemy out of the country."
Qianhua smelled a faint smell of gunsmoke.
"Is that the confidence of the military just that? Judging from the current measures, it is to put up a position against the United States and fight Russia to the death, but as far as I know, the Russian ports of Arkhangelsk and Murmansk have been much better than the same period in the history of that time and space, and the efficiency of the Allied countries' support for Russia has been greatly improved, as long as there is sufficient material support. Russia, with a population of 1600 million, is not so easy to fall to the ground. The Americans may be held back by our ** array for a while, but we all know that as long as we continue to mobilize for 810 months, the United States will have the ability to quickly break the largest landing we may organize, and the Americans are not stupid, they will soon realize this. β
"Also, even if, as the military wants, the American army does not move for two years, the Russians will be successfully defeated during this period, and the German troops on the eastern front will be able to move westward. The Reich will also support Germany via the Trans-Siberian Railwayβbut have you ever thought about our reinforcements via rail? Can it be as efficient as the United States reinforcing its European allies by sea? β
Liu Bailiang sneered: "President Zhang, it's too boring to say this now." β
"Bailiang, don't be angry, President Zhang is also thinking about the overall situation." Yang Zhengjin, the current number one figure in the military, the prime minister of the wartime cabinet and the generalissimo of the imperial armed forces, immediately reprimanded.
Zhang Zhigao shook his head and spread his hands and said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to know what other strategies the military has in the face of this dangerous situation?" β
Liu Bailiang held back his anger, looked at Yang Zhengjin, and after obtaining the consent in his eyes, Zhengse said: "Miao Ce doesn't dare to say it." The General Staff will soon submit to the Joint Conference of Supreme Commanders a strategic proposal with the following themes:
"After completing the Malayan operation, without waiting for the British army to breathe, they launched a non-stop operation in the Indian Ocean. In close cooperation with the Southwestern Front of Burma and the Southward Advance Group of the Northwestern Front of Central Asia, as well as the Turkish Army on the Persian Gulf side, we quickly seized key points on the Indian subcontinent and the Ceylon coast, and drew pro-Allied Persia into our side. The British forces in the Persian Gulf were to be expelled, and if necessary, troops were to be sent to Somalia, East Africa, Madagascar, Egypt, etc...... The fundamental purpose was to establish and protect the sea line of communication from the mainland to the Persian Gulf, and then to provide reinforcements to the Allies using the 2B railway from Berlin to Baghdad, with the secondary purpose of liberating Burma and India, joining Persia, and recovering Abyssinia. The plan was to use all the Southern Front Fleet to form the Indian Fleet, and draw 40 divisions and 120 men from the Southern Army and the local reserves to form the Indian Front. In addition to ensuring the normal supply of the armies of the other fronts and the construction of the Hawaiian forts, all requisitioned ships of the army and navy will be centrally distributed to this sideββ"
After listening to Liu Bailiang's introduction, Mo Ning, the self-renowned Minister of Justice among the civilian officials, sighed inexplicably: "Since we have the ability to launch an Indian Ocean operation on such a scale, it will not be a problem for a million-strong army to land in the United States." β
Liu Bailiang was puzzled: "What does Minister Mo mean?" β
"If you can conquer the Indian Ocean with a hundred and two hundred thousand troops, can't you conquer the Pacific with a million troops? Isn't it very tempting for the 40th Division to throw it over, and the US military may not be able to hold it, so it is also a way to smash their western altar and jars, and pull Mexico into the alliance by the way, and trap them on the mainland until the end of the war. Attacking India will not damage the foundation of the Entente, and for Britain, whose army and navy are deeply involved in the war against Germany, the blood transfusion of the United States is more direct than the profits scavenged from India. And once we enter the United States, Britain, France, and Russia have no hope of taking a boatload of American aid, and without American arms and food, Britain and France will just maintain the battle line, and they will have no spare strength to help Russia, so they have to let us fight the Russian bear to death. β
Speaking of this, Mo Ning habitually lifted his signature black-framed glasses, and the corners of his eyes flashed with a fierce light that radiated smugness: "After that, the Russian bear was lost, the Trans-Siberian Railway was opened, the German army was transferred westward, and our army came to the west, and when Britain and France collapsed on the Western Front, the American GIs were still busy recovering the territory - isn't it wonderful that the war situation is developing like this?" β
Zhang Zhigao snorted lightly in his nose and continued in a loud voice: "In this way, I am worried that Australia will become an important base for the enemy's counteroffensive, and the military has not considered the strategy of the Australian side?" β
Mo Ning knew that he had no other meaning in his words, and sneered: "As long as you land in the United States, who else can use Australia to counterattack?" The British Grand Fleet was tied up in the North Sea by the Germans, and there was no strength left to deal with us. β
