"Following the support of the 12th Army in October, the 'Shakti' operation aimed at cutting off the enemy's retreat route on the Indo-Burmese border, the forced crossing of the Ganges River at Rajshahi at the end of October, the capture of the railway hub Barvotipur on November 7, the vanguard detachment and the Tibetan border troops at Darjeeling in the foothills of the Himalayas on November 15, and the Burmese Front Army coordinated to complete the encirclement of about five and a half divisions of the enemy, and fought until December 9, destroying nearly 100,000 enemies and liberating the entire territory of Bengal. After that, the 1st Marine Army withdrew from the theater and reorganized to prepare for the Ceylon Raid. At present, the 2nd Panzer Corps is making every effort to adjust its deployment and prepare to take advantage of the dry season in northern India to launch the 'Brahma' operation across the Gangetic Plain......"

"During this period, the 14th Army, which captured the coastal town of Bhubaneswar and the industrial and mining base of Jamshedpur in October, switched to consolidation operations, launched a psychological offensive against the Anglo-Indian troops in the interior with a small number of troops and secret work, and moved south along the coast with a main force to capture Visakhapatnam, the only natural harbor between Kolkata and Madras."

"The 15th Army, which is scheduled to be the main force of Ceylon Raiders, is now assembled in Malaya and Sing Dao, and will be ready to go out as soon as the navy is ready."

"Since mid-October, the Navy has adjusted its deployment in the Indian Ocean, building a new Indian fleet, with Admiral Ma Shengyu as the commander, and the basic strength of 10 old warships, 9 old armored cruisers, 8 light cruisers, 24 destroyers, 2 water engine carriers and 60 submarines. It is responsible for the escort of the transportation and replenishment ship regiment, the support of the landing force, and the sabotage of communication lines. ”

"The main force of the Combined Fleet was reorganized into the 1st Fleet, and the basic strength remained 10 main warships, 2 battle cruisers, 4 rapid loading cruisers, 12 light cruisers, 24 destroyers and 2 water engine carriers, and assumed long-range support missions. In addition, the remnants of the mobile fleet were organized into the 2nd Air Fleet, and the basic strength was maintained at 1 fleet aircraft carrier, 2 rapid patrol ships, 4 light cruisers, and 6 destroyers, which were responsible for reconnaissance and line of communication sabotage. In addition, the 3rd Air Fleet was re-expanded to rebuild the Port Blair Air Base ......"

"By the end of January next year, before the deadline for launching the Ceylon Raiders, the 1st Fleet will be able to restore its strength to 15 capital warships and 4 battle cruisers -- another 2 capital warships and 1 battle cruiser are under repair or refit, and the 2nd Air Fleet will also be replenished to the strength of 3 fleet aircraft carriers, in addition to 2 fast cruisers, 2 to 4 light cruisers, and 6 to 10 destroyers."

"In order to ensure that the above army and naval forces can play an effective role in the new offensive, the Indian Front Command, together with the Combined Fleet Command, has put forward a request for replenishment of transport ships and other combat materiel – the list is on page 30."

Ma Feng happened to turn the page at this time, and as soon as he finished reading the first two lines, he had already whispered three dirty words - this man recognized as the most gentlemanly man in the group had set his first breakthrough record.

"The above - next, please ask Director Su of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff to report on the latest military situation."

Su Sanling nodded to everyone, put down the whip, and returned to his seat with his head held high.

Su Mengxin, chief of the Intelligence Division of the General Staff, was originally a confidant of the former emperor and had always been honored and favored, and he also performed quite well in the coup d'état on 2 August, and was even more trusted by the empress, but in turn he was feared by a small number of clique members who were involved in the coup.

However, at this time, Su Mengxin was just reading from the book and faithfully completing his own work.

"First of all, inform the Russian side of the military situation: the Russian army built a new Lower Ural Front last month to defend the Ural front, and at the same time is stepping up the construction of the Ural defense line in an attempt to block our army from its European territory......"

"Pacific: Although detailed information on the enemy's Alaskan raider fleet has not been obtained, the weather department predicts that there will be a large area of sea ice in Alaska waters after November, and the movement of ships will be restricted. It is estimated that the US fleet has retreated to bases on the west coast for the winter......"

"According to the Liaison Office in Mexico, it is also likely that the U.S. military will intervene in the Mexican Civil War in the coming weeks, directly supporting Caransha in its suppression of the Peasant Army, which itself is facing a crisis, not only because of serious divisions within the leadership, but also because of the growing resistance to the aggressive policies pursued by the Peasant Army in the areas under its rule, allowing Caransha to unite more forces...... Recently, the Constitutional Army in Caransha has changed its previous decline and suddenly stormed the coastal area on which the peasant army relied to receive smuggling assistance from our army. ”

"According to the reports of submarines and cruisers on the mission of breaking diplomatic relations on the West Coast of the United States, in the past three or four months, most of the ships entering and leaving the ports of the West Coast of the United States have been organized into groups of 10 to 20 small and medium-sized escort ships, escorted by surface and aviation forces, and it is very likely that they have set up aviation bases on the coasts or islands of some neutral countries in Central America......"

"Enemy seaplane bases have been discovered in the Funafuti Atoll in Tuvalu and docks and other military installations under construction in both Samoa and Fiji Islands, according to reconnaissance and disruptive forces operating in the South Pacific......"

"In the Outer South Seas, it has been reported that most of the British and Australian troops withdrawn from Lae have been transferred to Port Moresby, and some have been stationed in a few forward positions on Bougainville Island and the southern Solomon Sea, in addition to the discovery of military installations under construction in the central Solomon Islands and the southern New Hebrides, the details of which are yet to be further verified."

"On the Indian Ocean side, according to reliable intelligence. The base strength of the Combined Entente Fleet now in the Gulf of Aden consists of 8 to 9 capital warships, most of which are early dreadnoughts armed with 305 mm guns, 7 to 9 old warships, 15 to 20 large and small cruisers, and a shore-based aviation force with nearly 100 combat aircraft to provide cover. There have been no reports of additional naval forces from Britain and France in the Indian Ocean...... According to the report of the German and Turkish intelligence services, it is very likely that Britain and France are planning a large-scale coordinated attack by the army and navy, and the target may be Jutland or the Dardanelles......"

Su Mengxin pointed to the map, marked the relevant numbers on the blackboard, and quickly completed the report, patted the chalk ash on his hands, strode with his head held high, and sat down next to Her Majesty the Empress, who was dressed in a black uniform and skirt, brown riding boots and a Praetorian Guard cap.

After he sat down, Liu Qianhua raised his hand and clicked on the list booklet on the table, and first smiled comfortingly at Ma Feng: "Isn't the content in this booklet scary?" It seems that this is the case, but things always have priorities, and the commanders and commanders at the front will inevitably be blinded and only look at the questions from the perspective of their own theater of operations. ”

Then he glanced at Hooke again: "Speaking of priorities, our general strategy is established, that is, to attack the west and defend the east: we must defeat Russia next year, and at the same time open the Indian Ocean communication line with Germany and Turkey, liberate the powerful war machine of Germany from the dilemma of lack of resources, solve the European problem in one fell swoop, and make the entire Allied bloc invincible - for this we must concentrate forces and resources in the Russian and Indian directions to the maximum." As for other directions, the Alaska Raiders are also good. Whether it is typhoon or plank road operations, MO operations, SF operations, and AN operations, they are all containment and even deceptive, and can only occupy troops and resources to a minimum. ”

"In order to implement this principle, we have paid a lot of price, I see it in my eyes, I feel pain in my heart, but it is worth it and it is necessary. If you want to gain, you must give something, bloom everywhere, sprinkle pepper, from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, half the world, can you sprinkle it? Filled? ”

As he spoke, his eyebrows were shining, heroic, and he had the might of the first emperor, but he mixed a little softness unique to women.

"Of course, defense, defense, not just about defending and waiting for someone to come to your door. When there is spare strength, it can also attack and defend, disrupt the opponent's deployment, and boost the morale of his own side. ”

"Japan is our number one ally in the East Asian Alliance, and the Japanese are the most face-saving, so we were indeed selfish in the first place to provoke them to fight Alaska...... But since things have come to this point, it is not good not to give them a long face, and it is also necessary to extinguish the arrogance of the Americans, and I want to say that Kodiak Island must be recaptured—it is better to try to persuade the Japanese to withdraw after it has been recovered. ”

"Lae we suffered. This face is also to be recovered, first pull out the nail of the Solomon Islands, and then make plans. ”

"Hawaii is heavily guarded, so don't worry about it for the time being. Panama had no intention of being blocked, and Mexico was just an outcast to delay the other side's footsteps, so it is not a pity that this time we do not have the strength to conquer the world, and we have to leave the Americans with hope of recovering Hawaii - and then crush it mercilessly and at all costs. ”

"As for the Gilbert Islands, which are the most fierce, I think it's an exaggeration. Fiji and Samoa were barbaric places before the war, and no matter how rushed they started the war, they could not support a slightly larger combat operation. What's more, such actions as attacking the Gilbert Islands or attacking the Marshall Islands' lines of communication have no strategic significance at all, they can only be used to train troops and improve morale, and the enemy army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Lae, it is difficult to explain why it is necessary to maintain such great pressure on those insignificant small strongholds on the Gilbert Islands, Nie Wenqing - go back and verify it. ”

"Micro-job compliance!"

The handsome and heroic Lieutenant Colonel Nie Wenqing quickly raised his head and agreed-revealing the scars on his neck during the Asian-Russian War.

"I see this, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?"

Qianhua only then put away his majestic breath, smiled and looked forward to it, and was humble.

"The emperor is wise...... The so-called strategy, the most important thing is perseverance, either do not choose this road, choose to go to the end, halfway to the weighed and hesitated, for the roadside wildflowers and weeds lost their eyes and dragged their feet, naturally it is impossible to arrive at the destination on time. Yang Zhengjin said half complimentingly and half with emotion.

Qianhua was as sweet as a glutton, and happily said sideways: "Chief of Staff Yan, tell me what you think?" ”

General Yan Fu, who wore a dazzling golden tassel belt on his snow-white uniform, pressed his hands on his knees, bowed his head sideways, and said, "The minister has already had a belly case. ”

With that, he got up and walked to the blackboard, picked up half a piece of chalk and began to write.

“…… Thus, in order to support the follow-up operations in the Indian Ocean, primarily the suppression of the Combined Entente Fleet, the necessary forces should be retained as 10 to 12 capital warships, 2 to 3 battle cruisers, and 1 to 2 fleet carriers. In addition, six old warships and six old patrol ships are needed as the backbone of escort and support forces. ”

"With the saved 5 to 7 high-speed warships, 2 to 3 battle cruisers, and the 1st Mobile Fleet, as the main force of mobile operations in the Pacific next year. 4 old warships, 3 old cruisers, and the 2nd Mobile Fleet are used as auxiliary support forces. In addition, part of the strength of the Third Air Fleet was transferred to enrich the six-air battle in the southeast. In this way, the 10th Air Battle, which was drawn from Hawaii, could be returned to the establishment and continue to prepare for the decisive battle. Initially, a few new squadrons of naval aviation were deployed to augment the five-air detachments in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands in order to contain as much as possible the enemy's invasion and disturbance, even if the purpose of the enemy was only to train troops and improve morale. ”

"Once all preparations have been made, the 2nd Mobile Fleet will first cooperate with the Army in the seizure of the Solomon Islands and, if progress goes well and time permits, may selectively launch attacks on Port Moresby, the New Hebrides and the Fiji Islands. The 2nd Mobile Fleet then temporarily attached to the Southeast Front Fleet to carry out follow-up operations in coordination with the Army, and the 1st Mobile Fleet went north to Alaska via Hawaii to cooperate with the Japanese army to counterattack Kodiak Island, and then launched an attack on the west coast of the United States and Canada as the situation may be, and if necessary, it could attack Panama again, or cover the support and transportation of the Mexican Peasant Army......"

"After completing the above operations, the 1st Mobile Fleet can go south again as appropriate to support MO operations and SF operations. If necessary, they can rush to the east coast of Australia to show the authenticity and urgency of the AN operation, and contain the Allied forces as much as possible......"

After pouring out the inventory in his stomach in one go, Yan Fu wiped his hands with the white gloves stuffed in his pockets, put on the gloves, lowered his hands to the seams of his trousers, bowed down slightly to greet everyone, and then suddenly returned to his base camp with ease.

"Thanks to the great victory in the Bay of Bengal, at least in the first half of next year we can use the fleet separately, and we will have an overwhelming advantage in every direction, as for what will happen after that...... Marshal Lin? ”

Lin Tai, the hero of the naval battle in the South China Sea at that time, the supreme military and political commander of the navy at this time, was accustomed to all kinds of parallel identities, and spread out the notepad in his hand without being shocked......
