In his opinion, the safest way now is to transfer the reserves in his hands to the western front line to withstand the advance of the Axis forces, but this method has been opposed by the top level of the joint command, because such a strategy can only make the two sides fall into a war of attrition, even if it can win in the end, the Chinese Empire can only end up with a crushing victory, and the national strength will be greatly depleted.

The second method is to use all the troops drawn out to open up a second battlefield, and the Imperial Chinese Army will land on the west coast of the Boston Empire under the cover of the Eastern Ocean Fleet, directly attack the territory of the Boston Empire, destroy the manufacturing plant of the Axis system as quickly as possible, and fundamentally cut off the material source of the Axis bloc, so as to achieve victory as soon as possible.

Once such a plan succeeds, it will be a bottom-of-the-pot victory, and the Chinese Empire will not only be able to easily cut off the supply of weapons and materials from the other side, but will also be able to fully control the entire New World, avoid the Boston Empire shrinking its defense, relying on the two oceans to block it, and keep the country itself in the New World, which will leave a lot of hidden dangers for the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire in the future.

Although the second plan had so many benefits, it would also be very risky, and if the Western Front was routed by the Axis forces during the attack on the New World, the Chinese Empire would be overwhelmed, and the losses would be immeasurable, and even the NATO alliance would lose the war.

Fang Ruijun, who couldn't make up his mind, couldn't make a decision, so he decided to let several supreme commanders on the defensive front go back to Beijing to report on their work, and he wanted to seek the opinions of these senior generals to understand the detailed situation on the western front in order to take the next step, and soon several senior generals secretly returned to Beijing on a transport plane.

After receiving the news that the commanders had arrived, Fang Ruijun immediately drove to the war room of the joint command headquarters. Su Zhizhen, Zhang Haiyang, and Chen Yu were already waiting here, and across from them were several dusty generals.

Second-class General Gao Deyu, who commanded the Middle Route Army, Gao Hong, who commanded the Southern Route Army, and Second-Class General Cai Tingyuan, who commanded the operations on the Southern Subcontinent, all came, and what surprised Fang Ruijun the most was that even Marshal Kolchak, the supreme commander of the Cossack Army who commanded the Northern Route Army, actually came.

Fang Ruijun first walked up to Gao Deyu, Gao Hong and Cai Tingyuan, and patted them on the shoulders respectively, they were very familiar with Fang Ruijun, who had been in contact with these generals since childhood, and their communication had always been more casual and cordial.

When Fang Ruijun walked in front of Kolchak, he stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "I am very surprised that Marshal Kolchak can come. ”

Marshal Kolchak saluted a standard Cossack military salute and said: "As the supreme commander of the NATO Allied Forces, you have convened a meeting of the top commanders of all aspects, and I naturally want to come, not to mention that our two countries still have a very close relationship." Kolchak was naturally referring to Princess Daria, one of Fang Ruijun's mothers.

Fang Ruijun nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to know about the combat situation on the North Road to determine the next battle plan, everyone please sit down." After saying that, he waved his hand, and all the generals were at the conference table according to their ranks, and Fang Ruijun was the last to sit on the main seat.

After Fang Ruijun glanced at the conference room where the stars were shining, he said very solemnly: "I need several commanders to report on the specific situation on the front line, and I will choose the next battle plan according to your reports." General Cai Tingyuan, the situation there is the most stable, so let's start with you. ”

"Yes, young master." Cai Tingyuan agreed and stood up: "The current situation in our Southern Military Region is indeed relatively stable, our army has recently been on the line of actual control with the Axis armies, and the largest is only a small-scale exchange of fire at the regimental level, and our side is not short of troops. Although the expansion of the Axis Mediterranean Fleet has sharply increased the pressure on our coastal defense line, under the suppression of the air forces of the various military regions, they do not dare to get close to the coastline, and the actual threat is not great. Recently, a large number of natives who have been trained by our army have been sent into the territory of the other side to riot and rebel, so that the Axis forces cannot deal with us with all their strength, so at least for half a year, the southern subcontinent will be stable. After speaking, Cai Tingyuan sat down.

Fang Ruijun nodded: "The state of the Southern Military Region is still relatively stable, so Marshal Kolchak, how are you there." Kolchak also stood up like Cai Tingyuan and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, in the early stage of the war, we retreated more than 300 kilometers in order to reduce losses, but our army held a position in the Paladin's Fort, and the current siege of the Paladin's Fort is the 3.5 million troops of the Saar Empire, as well as the 1.5 million combined troops of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg and the Viking Kingdom from the north. They besieged the Paladin's Fortress from both north and west, but our fortifications were so strong and well supplied that we could hold out for at least a year. ”

For the defense of the Cossack Empire, Fang Ruijun is still very satisfied, after all, it was a world-class power at the beginning, and the foundation is still there, plus the Chinese Empire's dedicated help to them and the supply of weapons over the years, its combat effectiveness should be strong.

After listening to the report, Fang Ruijun nodded and motioned for Kolchak to sit down, and then looked at Gao Deyu. Seeing Fang Ruijun's inquiring gaze, Gao Deyu stood up and said: "Report to the young master, our Central Route Army launched a surprise attack on the enemy army in various ways during the retreat, and eliminated more than three million enemy troops in total in many counterattacks, and currently more than 11 million Axis troops are wandering near Kiev. If the enemy attacks, we can only retreat and block the attack, and if the other side advances at all costs, I estimate that within two months we will enter our territory. ”

Listening to Gao Deyu's words, Fang Ruijun's face changed, he knew very well that the burden on Gao Deyu's shoulders was the heaviest, it was not a matter of his ability, but that the gap between the forces of the two sides was too big. Seeing that everyone had finished reporting, Gao Hong, who had been silent, stood up: "I hope to be able to accept the punishment of the little young master, because my mistake allowed the Nantes army to occupy the Istanbul area, and the entire Black Sea coast is seriously threatened." Now we have three lines of defense on the Istan Peninsula, and we have also deployed lines on the Black Sea coast and the Mediterranean coast, but because the forces are too dispersed, we only have 700,000 troops on the front, while the Nantes Army has more than 1 million troops across the Dardanelles, and they have 2 million follow-up troops. ”

Fang Ruijun frowned when he heard this: "I know that the fault of this failure is not you, it is Abdul II who is too confident and causes your passivity." When you return, I will recruit Abdul II into Beijing, and the Iranian army will be under your command, so that you can have some certainty of holding on. ”

Gao Hong said: "If I am fully responsible, I believe that there will be no problem within two months, and if I am given a million reserves, I will be able to annihilate all the Nantes troops crossing the strait on the Istanbul Peninsula." ”

Gao Hong's words made Fang Ruijun hesitate, and Su Zhizhen, who had already learned the two attack plans in detail, got up and said, "Little Master, do you want to talk to them about the two plans first, and then decide after discussion." Fang Ruijun nodded and motioned for Su Zhizhen to explain.

Su Zhizhen, who is the commander of the army, personally walked to the huge screen by the wall and nodded to a confidential secretary, who immediately turned on the projector, and a detailed combat map of the Western Front was displayed on the screen. Su Zhizhen pointed at the defense line with a thin pole and said: "At present, the Axis countries have penetrated more than 300 kilometers into the territory of our NATO allies on the Western Front, and their troops are too much more than us, and it is very difficult to even defend. But on the Eastern Front it was completely different, and as a result of the victory in the Battle of Vel Island, our threat in the Eastern Ocean was completely lifted. ”

Su Zhizhen paused for a moment, saw that everyone was looking at the map intently, he put down the thin pole and said: "At present, our joint command has drawn up two operational plans, the first is to concentrate forces to defend the western front, according to the strength of the national defense force and reserve forces that we can draw now, we can invest another 10 million troops, even if the guards do not move, we have enough troops to defend, and we can even launch a large-scale counteroffensive." In this way, we can first wear down the opponent's forces with defense, until the opponent's offensive shows fatigue, and then we will devote all the Guards and carry out a counteroffensive with the Wehrmacht to completely defeat them. The advantage of this is to be safe, but the war will be prolonged, and our domestic consumption will be very large, and it is likely to fall into a lose-lose situation. ”

After speaking, Su Zhizhen paused, and nodded to the confidential secretary, who understood and immediately switched the map to the map of the new continent. Su Zhizhen continued to point to the map: "Our second plan is to concentrate the drawn troops, land on the coast of the New World, and directly attack the Boston Empire itself. Strive to force down the Boston Empire as quickly as possible, once this backbone is lost, the Axis bloc will be self-defeating, and now the main forces of the Boston Empire are on the western continent, and there are only reserve troops in the country, and the combat effectiveness is limited. But the danger of this plan is that if the Western Front cannot withstand the Axis attack, our territory will fall, and at that time, it will be time for the two sides to compete in speed to see who can force the other side down first. But such a battle will greatly damage our domestic economy, and the impact on the post-war period will also be great. ”

After Su Zhizhen finished speaking, Fang Ruijun added: "The main problem is that now our oil source is mainly from the Central Continent, and if the enemy invades the oil field area, we will be very passive." ”
