"So, that's the end of the first agenda, now let's move on to the second ......" Yang Zhengjin announced that at halfway point, a hand was raised in a certain area of the conference table.

"Excuse me, why didn't you mention the arrangement of the six people on our side......" The question was Pan Guochen, the current lieutenant of the Admiralty Intelligence Department in the Toucheng Six.

Yang Zhengjin didn't seem to intend to waste time on this issue at all, and reacted like a spring: "Your work is directly arranged by the leader, okay, the second agenda, the revision and organization of the general strategy." ”

Pan Guochen showed the frustration of a second-class citizen and shrank back.

Yang Yuxiang on the side winked at him and whispered, "Piggy, I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you...... We are direct leaders. ”

"I'm just talking about it now...... This dead vixen ......"

"The first thing to confirm is the strategic goal, the strategic goal of seizing the absolute circle of interests as the core, and you have fully agreed with it." Yang Zhengjin paused, and spent 30 seconds waiting for the dissent to appear, only waiting for the unanimous approval of the old soldiers, and the civilian officials and the Toucheng Six were silent—no matter what the motive, they finally acquiesced.

"Then in the second step, in order to seize the absolute circle of interests, there are two paths, peace, or force, and not to mention which one is completely impossible, and we must be prepared with both hands, and there is no objection to this."

"The so-called path of peace is to negotiate with the great powers, using the issues of ethnicity, expatrias, human rights, trade, and other issues as an excuse to obtain all or part of the absolute circle of interests from the negotiating table.

"At the same time, crucially, it is also necessary to make all-out preparations for war and accumulate sufficient strength so that we can make decisive efforts at the right time to solve the problem in one fell swoop. And seeking allies will be an important part of this war preparation. ”

"For the sake of prudence, the five elders agreed that, on the one hand, it was necessary to try to negotiate with the important countries of the absolute circle of interests, Britain, France, Russia, and the United States; On the other hand, it negotiated cooperation or alliances with Germany, which was trying to establish hegemony in Europe. Depending on the progress of the two fronts and changes in the international situation, the actions of the empire will be adjusted at any time. ”

"With regard to Britain, France, Russia, and the United States, our demand is to incorporate the Circle of Absolute Interests into the ASEAN system, and the main purpose is not to insist on direct occupation, but to satisfy the fact that the other side is to satisfy the free and open trade and immigration of the colonies and territories within the Sphere of Absolute Interests to ASEAN, and to grant ASEAN immigrants full citizenship and autonomy in their settlements. Correspondingly, the aforementioned powers will also obtain ASEAN concessions on trade and have the opportunity to be supported by ASEAN's military resources. ”

"For Germany, our basic requirements are twofold:

A, Germany should allow China to use its colonial islands in the Pacific to build military bases.

B. Germany should coordinate with China against Russia, forcing Russia to meet all the demands of China and Germany, and crucially, allowing China and Germany to establish effective land links. ”

"Nominally, condition A is mandatory, and condition B is negotiable. In fact, one cannot be the other. If a quick victory on the Western Front is not possible, China and Germany must be able to establish effective land links in order to achieve eventual victory. ”

"The reason for nominally allowing Condition B to be non-essential is that if Germany insists on the priority of the Western Front, believing that it can achieve complete victory on the Western Front in the short term, we can only let him go. At that time, we will first take over Germany's Pacific colonies in the name of purchase, escrow, and trusteeship, and then declare external neutrality and continue to prepare for war. If Germany can really achieve a complete victory on the Western Front in the short term, it will be very easy, and it will be easier to seize the absolute circle of interests, and it may even negotiate with the United States to solve the problem. But by all accounts, the likelihood of a quick German victory on the Western Front is very low, and it is more likely that it will be deadlocked, as recorded in history. At that time, we can urge Germany to move troops on the Eastern Front to fight against Russia in coordination with our country, and take any other possible means to force Russia to meet all the demands of China and Germany as much as possible. ”

"Do you have any comments so far?" After Yang Zhengjin finished speaking, he got up and walked to a large blackboard on the left side of the throne, and wrote what he had just said in the form of a step diagram.

Fang Tianhua, the former deputy captain of the task force in the Toucheng Six, raised his hand: "I have an idea. As I have just said about the assumption of a quick victory on the Western Front in the short term, I think that if that were the case, it would be very likely that Germany would no longer need the Reich and would make peace directly with Britain and France. And then with the power of all of Europe, as before, to raise the Yellow Peril banner, to force the Reich to abandon its plan to seize the sphere of absolute interests, and even to return Germany's Pacific colonies, we will have nothing but empty joy and nothing to gain. ”

Yang Zhengjin glanced at Liu Bailiang, Liu Bailiang knew it, and took over the conversation and responded: "Let me explain, not to mention that the possibility of a quick victory for Germany is extremely low, even if as you said, Germany will complete peace with Britain and France, Germany will not go on an expedition to the Pacific Ocean to defend the British and French colonies, let alone send troops to the Far East to defend Russia's Siberia, and Britain and France will not have the spare strength to defend their colonies after being completely defeated by Germany." As for Russia, in the face of both Chinese and German oppression, it was preferable to accept China's conditions than to become a complete German vassal. China does not demand that Russia cede land, nor does it have a way to compete for European hegemony, but only demands economic, trade, and immigration benefits beyond sovereignty. Correspondingly, Russia can also use this to obtain military support from China to curb German and Austrian expansion into Eastern Europe. ”

"Excuse me, what is the status of the United States in this plan? What does it do? This time it was Pan Guochen's hand again.

Liu Bailiang calmly replied: "If the United States cannot guarantee that it will not interfere in all the actions taken by China to seize the absolute circle of interests, no, even if its verbal guarantees cannot be expressed in actual actions, a war between China and the United States is inevitable." What we ask of the United States is to allow the Philippines to be integrated into the ASEAN system, to guarantee that it will not build military bases anywhere in the Pacific outside the American continent, that it must limit the number and size of its military bases on the west coast of the American continent, and that a treaty on the control of the armaments of both sides, especially the naval armaments, should guarantee ASEAN's greater superiority in maritime power in the Pacific. ”

"I don't think the United States will agree to such humiliating conditions, which is tantamount to driving the United States out of the Pacific." Pan Guochen said.

This time, it was Zhang Zhigao who took over the question: "Negotiation, each has its own conditions, if you can't accept it, you will bargain again, the situation is different, and the bottom line of each side will also change." If negotiations can solve the problem, then it is very good, and if it really can't, the military must have the confidence to win the war. ”

Pan Guochen still did not relent: "Win the United States? Is it possible? Even if the Sino-German alliance was premised, the Reich would have to go to war with Britain, France, Russia, and the United States at the same time, and in such a situation, would it be possible to confidently win? The industrial power of the United States is several times greater than that of the Empire, and once the war is protracted, can we really survive to the bottom? ”

"There's no way, I originally wanted to brew again, since I asked about this point, I'll carefully explain the war plan in this situation." Liu Bailiang shrugged, got up and walked to the blackboard, taking Yang Zhengjin's place.

The chalk swam on the blackboard, and the three big characters of "C plan and drawing" jumped out.

"As Xiao Pan just assumed, on the premise of the Sino-German alliance, when it is necessary to fight against Britain, France, Russia and the United States at the same time, we will adopt a C plan to deal with it."

"In carrying out Plan C, the empire will fight the enemy on four strategic fronts: the Baikal side, the Central Asian side, the South Sea side, and the Central Pacific side."

"Among them, on the Baikal side, more than 1.2 million troops will be invested in the two campaign directions of Northeast China and Outer Mongolia to completely smash the enemy's defense system and heavy army groups deployed around Lake Baikal, and then turn to West Siberia to advance in depth, seize the Novosibirsk-Omsk-Chelyabinsk line, and complete the meeting with the friendly forces of the Central Asian side. Further development will be made as appropriate. ”

"On the Central Asian side, more than 600,000 troops will be invested in three campaign directions from the north and south of Lake Balkhash to annihilate the enemy's heavy army groups deployed in Central Asia, and to coordinate operations with friendly forces on the Baikal side to advance to the Urals."

"On the South Seas side, with a navy and more than 400,000 troops, we will unite our allies to launch a surprise attack on the Indochina Peninsula, the Malay Peninsula, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines, destroy the European and American colonial forces in these areas, restore the imperial vassals such as Vietnam and Burma, and at the same time promote the national independence movement in other liberated areas and effectively integrate them into the ASEAN system."

"As for the Central Pacific," Liu Bailiang deliberately paused and said in an aggravated tone: "We must inflict heavy damage on the main force of the US Navy in one fell swoop, and occupy Hawaii as a strategic magnet to attract the attention of the United States to the past, so that it can consume military resources here to the maximum extent, and it is impossible to transfer these resources to other strategic aspects." ”

"Wait a minute...... You mean, occupy Hawaii? Pan Guochen looked puzzled.

"Exactly, what's the problem?" Liu Bailiang didn't seem to be joking.

Pan Guochen spread his hands with a smile and said, "This ...... Is it possible? ”

"We should be able to do it before we die." Liu Bailiang said meaningfully, and then broke the chalk in his hand with a "snap".

"No, it has to be done, otherwise history could repeat itself......"
