Chapter 58: Lao Tzu is not interested
We must accelerate the pace of building our navy, not only because we want Japan to hold on, but more importantly, because we need it ourselves.
This was originally an era of sea power, although Yang Xiaolin had made Chinese planes fly into the sky and showed impressive combat capabilities in battle, but the air force still needed the cooperation of the army and navy, and she did not yet have the ability to fight a war alone.
We also suffered heavy losses in the Sino-Japanese naval battle, and now we have just stood up, and due to the extremely rapid development of the Chinese Navy, we are in an uncertain position in the world ranking this year, because every month we will launch more than a dozen warships, large and small.
Our Navy now has four aircraft carriers, and by the end of this year it can reach six, which is currently the country with the most aircraft carriers in the world. But the British will soon catch up with us, the British Empire has a strong foundation, and half the world's resources can be used.
They only have two aircraft carriers now or we helped them get out, after mastering the technology, the speed of the British is quite amazing, in all parts of the world they are building ships, and by the beginning of next year, it is estimated that the number of British aircraft carriers can reach eight.
Fighting for resources with the British Empire, no country in the world is their opponent, we can develop according to our own capabilities, and we must not engage in a warship race with the British Empire, which is tantamount to looking for death.
In this year's military construction, China will focus on the construction of a new branch of the armed forces, the Marine Corps.
Currently recognized as the best Marine Corps in the world is the Royal Marines of the British Empire. This team was founded in the middle of the seventeenth century, more than two hundred years ago. It can be said that in the British conquest of the colonies, the Royal Marines have always been a steel knife, but almost everywhere the British flag is planted, they have left their footprints in battle.
But the British have not yet paid attention to the role of the marines, and their soldiers are not specially selected elites, Yang Xiaolin's biggest advantage is that he knows the development trend of some things, so he can be one step ahead of the British.
Britain's current marines are equipped with some land forces to their navy, and they are still equipped with army weapons. And the combat mode is not much to be remarkable. The British never thought of a single battle case of going deep into the enemy's rear to strike at the enemy's strategic points.
The Marine Corps that Yang Xiaolin plans to establish is called the Sea Wolf Commando, and its members are selected and transferred from the special operations brigades of various military regions, and then they will undergo special training. Not to mention being able to play at that level in the future, at least to achieve the goal, our team members must have a strong attack power, and a commando team can carry out reconnaissance, strong attacks, and surprise attacks on the enemy's rear. Our commandos must have a strong survivability and can occupy a number of strategic points located in the enemy's rear with a small number of troops, regardless of the terrain and conditions, even if the intelligence is accurate. It is possible to inflict a decapitating strike on the enemy's command center.
Once the Seawolf Commando is successfully built, it means that our navy can carry out three-dimensional land, sea and air attacks on any area that needs to be attacked, and the navy will become China's infinitely extended arm, allowing us to fight with the British Empire in any corner of the world.
The navies of China and Japan are jointly built, and we will speed up the pace of the Japanese navy at the same time, and I was really relieved to hear Yang Xiaolin say this.
He doesn't know what kind of ending he will have after going to Tokyo this time, and he can only temporarily believe in his promise in the future.
Originally, Naokami Matsubara wanted to say another word to Yang Xiaolin, but thinking that Commander Yang didn't allow him to speak in this tone just now, he immediately changed it: "Then please Xiaolin-kun bother more." When the situation in Tokyo stabilizes, I will express my gratitude to Kobayashi-kun. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled slightly and stretched out a hand: "I will immediately arrange for a warship to send you to North Korea, and at the same time contact Inoue Liangxin to pick you up on Jeju Island." Now I can only say to you, I wish you all the best. ”
Just Bacchus.
In a small mountain village in the Atlas Mountains, Nyerere received a telegram from Yang Xiaolin, and he looked at the short two lines on the telegram in the dim light. His brows furrowed tightly as he placed his left hand into a fist on his thigh, a scar on his arm trembling with the shaking of his muscles.
Yang beats the ghost, this guy is too much. He actually said in the telegram that if he was afraid of the French, he could go to China to avoid the front for a while, and said that he had never forgotten his friendship with him, and that he had always reserved the position of chief instructor for Nyerere in the Volunteer Army, and that as long as he went, he was guaranteed to live for a long time.
These words filled Lao Ni's heart with anger, he knew very well what Yang Dagui meant by this, he knew that the guy was trying to say that he should fight, but he felt that Yang Xiaolin really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked.
There was no problem in fighting the Italians, as long as the Turkish forces did what was agreed, Nyerere guaranteed to defeat the Italian forces. But the question is, what happens after the defeat?
At the beginning, the rebel army developed rapidly, and tens of thousands of troops fought their way out of the Atlas Mountain, and that lineup was unable to stop the attack of the French army. Lao Ni still remembers the scene when the rebels were chased and killed by the French, the corpses fell all the way, the blacks who supported them were ruthlessly beheaded by the French, and the corpses were hung on the trees and no one was allowed to collect them.
Of the tens of thousands, less than 2,000 escaped, and the scar on his arm was left at that time, and four French soldiers surrounded him with bayonets, and he almost had no chance to sit here.
Later, it was the French who saw that they had almost been killed, and were unwilling to withdraw their troops for the remnants of their troops to consume too much material in the Atlas Mountains, and Nyerere survived. Over the past year, he has shrunk his head like a mouse, not daring to let others feel his existence. Even the blacks outside the mountains had forgotten about the troops they once had.
Yang Dagui can be said to be timid, because Nyerere himself feels that this year is alive, but he must protect this team of more than 1,000 people, which is the last hope for Africa.
After reading it for a long time, the old nun nested the telegram in a ball, threw it on the ground and stomped on it twice.
Reg came in from outside at this time and sat down in front of Nyerere: "Dude, is there a telegram from Commander Yang?" Did he say that we should send troops? ”
Nyerere's thick lips twitched, and his eyes looked at Reg: "Rag, do you think we can fight out?" ”
Reg was a little surprised, they had discussed this issue many times, but they couldn't get an agreement. Now Nyerere asked himself again, did he still need to hear himself tell him the same answer?
The advantage of fighting out is that they can sue others that they are still fighting, and they can sue the black rebels who live in this land and are oppressed by whites are still there. But they will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed, and with the Chinese supplies not yet delivered, Reg really can't guarantee that they will be able to hold out.
Reg didn't speak, he stared at Nyerere for a moment, apparently getting the answer he wanted. Although he didn't see Yang Xiaolin's telegram, he could guess seven or eight points in his heart.
He slowly stood up, walked over to Nyerere's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Dude, I support you no matter what you decide. I don't know what to do right now, but after hearing you tell you the story of how the Volunteers have grown from a mountain to where they are today, I have an idea. ”
Nyerere looked up at him, "What thoughts?" ”
Reg smiled: "Don't think so far about some things, we are in the same situation as they were at the beginning, the future is a very luxurious thing for us, vigorously pass today, what do you care about tomorrow?" ”
Nyerere slapped his hands on the table, he felt that what Rege said was indeed very reasonable, just like Yang Xiaolin had fought with the Russians in the first place, he had never heard Yang Dagui say that this battle would be fought and what to do tomorrow.
"Contact the Turkish forces immediately and get our brothers ready to concentrate all the guns and ammunition. You're right, let's not think about what to do in the future, seize this opportunity and kill the Italians first! ”
Reg nodded, and was about to step out when Nyerere suddenly changed his mind: "Wait! I don't think we need to go to the Turks, they will naturally come out to help in the fight, and it will be a waste of time to discuss back and forth, so we will leave now. ”
Nyerere was not worried that the Turks would sit on the sidelines and watch him fight, and Turkey was now in a very passive position, just like the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War. As soon as the Russians heard that the Volunteers and the Japanese were fighting, they excitedly stepped up to help, and the Turks are doing the same now.
Old Ni beckoned Reg over, spread out the battle map on the table, and pointed his finger at a place more than seventy kilometers west of Tripoli by the dim light: "This is the Italian aircraft base, I heard that there are more than a dozen planes in it, and only a few hundred Italian soldiers are guarding it, so we will start from this place and take him down first." ”
Reg nodded and said: "We must move quickly, we had better attack at night, and after taking this place, we will directly approach the east and threaten the rear of the Italian army." The Italians will certainly bring in their troops immediately, and as soon as their line is shaken, the Turks should have two choices, the first is to rush out and fight with us, and the second is probably to rush out and flee. ”
Nyerere's eyes showed a hint of fierce cunning: "They better come to fight!" If they retreat, so will we! ”
Lao Ni is really bad, the Turks are also infantry, their way back to Turkey is much farther than the rebels back to the Atlas Mountains, and according to the combat style of the Italian troops, it is very unlikely that they will pursue the rebels who have fled into the mountains, they will definitely pursue the Turkish troops.
At that time, the Turks, who had lost their strong positions, were more than lucky.
Reg smiled hesitantly: "That's a very good idea, then I'll prepare it now." Dude, hopefully we'll have a good result this time. ”
Nyerere straightened his waist: "It will be." You go and assemble the team, I want to send a telegram, I have to tell that beast, his chief instructor should let someone else do it, Lao Tzu is not interested. (To be continued......)
