"For example, speed up the development of the military assets of the empire and the countries of the alliance, build more machines, build more factories, and train more skilled workers...... In short, efforts should be made to improve the unfavorable situation in the ratio of industrial strength and quantity. ”

"At the same time, the implementation of a self-defense and defensive war can not only save a lot of resources, but also strengthen the cohesion of the peoples of the East Asian alliance countries, supplemented by an all-round arming against the pro-Chinese national liberation forces in the theater, and the invading Western coalition forces will inevitably fall into a comprehensive military and moral dilemma."

"The key to the Empire's invincibility is to build a strong enough mobile counterattack force composed of advanced weapons and elite soldiers."

"This force mainly includes: advanced warships operated by a small number of elite crews, and advanced aircraft operated by a small number of elite pilots, supplemented by a certain number of armored mechanized units, marine units, and airborne special operations units. It corresponds to a civilized and civilized society with the industrial and commercial economy as the main body, accounting for 20% of the total population of the entire empire and the East Asian Union. ”

"On the preset defensive line of the absolute national defense circle, the regular garrison units deployed in the fortified defensive zone in echelons, and the local guerrillas in the theater who are ready to persist in the war of resistance behind enemy lines, will gradually deplete the strength and morale of the enemy army and strive for a good situation for the use of mobile counterattack strength. It corresponds to a semi-civilized and uncivilized society dominated by the small-scale peasant economy, which accounts for 80 percent of the total population. ”

"All in all, it is necessary to save resources, cultivate national strength, take defense as offense, consume one by one, and wait for change...... Strive to turn the battlefields of Eastern Europe and India into a quagmire of the 'Vietnam War' that is magnified by a hundredfold and a thousand times, and turn the fortressed islands of the Pacific Ocean into a steel graveyard and a flesh mill for the enemy!

Before Hook's voice fell, Ma Feng picked up again: "This is from a long point of view, from a short point of view, if the Europa Expeditionary Force project is canceled, as well as other large-scale offensive plans in the second half of the year, it will have an immediate effect." ”

"First of all, it will greatly reduce the government's requisition of rural young and strong laborers, mules and horses, grain, fodder, and other production and living resources, fundamentally reduce the pressure on the fragile small-scale peasant economy caused by the war, help stabilize people's minds, and create conditions for future political transformation and economic adjustment in the rural areas."

"Second, if some of the means of transport saved by this, such as trucks, tractors, locomotives and wagons, and transport ships, are put into domestic production and construction, it will certainly improve the operating efficiency of the entire economic system, which is enough to increase a certain output without additional infrastructure investment."

"Thirdly, if the production capacity of some transport vehicles and various army weapons and ammunition that has been cancelled is used to transform and convert the production of naval weapons, we will increase a batch of additional combat power from the end of this year to the beginning of next year."

"The new ocean-going high-speed transport ships scheduled to be built to transport the Europa Expeditionary Force and other transoceanic expeditionary forces are expected to start construction as many as 30 ships within five months if they are all converted into aircraft carriers."

"If the production capacity of the Army Aircraft scheduled to be equipped with the Europa Expeditionary Force and the large-scale offensives scheduled for the second half of the year is all changed to the production of naval aircraft, it is expected that 4,000 new aircraft of various types will be added to the Navy within five months, which is equivalent to half of the total quota of the Navy's original plan for the whole year......

Liu Qianhua coldly interrupted the "coercion and temptation" of the two of them with black faces and white faces: "The premise of all this is that Germany will inevitably betray, why do you believe that my foresight is right?" ”

Hook straightened his chest and said: "We can't help but face up to the known reality, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the danger that has already emerged, not so much simply believing in the emperor's pre-opinion, but rather saying that the results of the ministers' own thinking are becoming more and more similar to the emperor's judgment." ”

So, what are your prices? Can't you just say it happily?

The shadow in Liu Qianhua's heart rippled at the corners of her mouth.

"Your proposal is a complete overthrow of the empire's previous general strategy, the responsibility involved is extremely heavy, the impact is extremely far-reaching, my decision alone does not count, even if it is supported by all the elders, it is far from enough, it must be fully discussed by the group plenary meeting before making a decision."

Hook did not hesitate: "As long as the emperor nods, no matter what means are used, we are sure that the group plenary meeting will unanimously pass this proposal." ”

"You say that, it's too domineering......"

Gu Yingyang's weak resistance was obviously automatically filtered out by the other three, only to see Liu Qianhua squinting and smiling, slowly getting up from the couch, sitting upright with his hands on his knees in the manner of Hook, under his graceful figure and cold appearance, he irresistibly exuded the majesty of the emperor and the majesty of a god.

"Say, what do Yang Zhengjin and Zhang Zhigao want?"

Now that it has been broken, Hu Ke did not have a trace of embarrassment, and replied generously: "The emperor should know what Premier Yang wants, and he must also know what Chairman Zhang wants." ”

Gu Yingyang looked left and right, not knowing what to do, and naturally everyone ignored it by default.

"Go back and tell Yang Zhengjin that I have decided to pardon Liu Bailiang and plan to appoint him as the commander of the newly established East China Sea Theater."

"As for Zhang Yaoqian, if he is willing to take office, he can choose to be the commander of the Central Pacific Front or the Caspian Front, and he can choose to be the president of the Army University or the director of the Army Cavalry.

"In addition to this, the conditions I listed at the last group plenary meeting will remain in effect until the end of the war. Regardless of his position, as long as he is a member of the group, he can make his own request to me within this scope. ”

After sending Hu Ke away, Liu Qianhua turned to Ma Feng with a full aura: "No matter what Zhang Zhigao told you, go back and tell him that I will not interfere with his one-third of an acre of land for the time being, but if he can't clean the house all the time, sooner or later someone else will clean it up for him." ”

After the thunderbolt that pointed directly at his heart, Liu Qianhua got up suddenly, pulled the black uniform draped on his body inward, and covered the half-exposed breasts outside the pajamas.

"The general trend is predictable, the timing is difficult to decide, and the current surface work still needs to be done. I don't want to hear the content of today's conversation anywhere else for the time being—I'm sleepy, so let's step down. ”

……

In the middle of the night, in the "wild boar" woods on the northwest side of the landing ground of the Orun River of the Chinese army, the bell on the stretcher easily lost its soul and walked through the seemingly endless darkness.

There was a tumult in my ears, mixed with the sparse sound of gunfire, the rumbling of engines, the scolding of officers, and the groans of the wounded......

Occasionally, the glow of flares from the canopy shone on the dead bodies, car remains, broken trees, and bomb craters on the roadside......

Zhong Yi didn't know where he would be carried, he vaguely remembered that after he jumped out of the car, the poor "Iron Leopard" sparkled several shells, and then orange-red flames rose from the cockpit and the top of the turret......

He remembered waking up cross-legged on top of a strangely shaped chariot.

The chariot had seven cylindrical turrets, three large and four small, and more fantastically, it floated in the air, following the direction of the wind.

The direction is the Orun River, the Ural River, the vast Kazakh steppe, the barren Gobi Desert of Xinjiang, the Loess Plateau with ravines, and the North China Plain...... Until the city of Beijing is deserted and lonely, home.

Gradually, Zhong Yi felt that the chariot was back, only this time, it landed on the ground at some point, and the front of the chariot was facing him, rumbling over......

"Which part are you?"

Hearing someone ask him in a trance, Zhong Yi reluctantly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the other stretcher on the left, and it took a lot of effort to recognize the face under the blurred light - it was Brigadier General Lin Yi, the commander of the main armored assault group of our army in today's battle, and the head of the armored cavalry detachment.

"The commander of the first battalion and one company of the chariot, Captain Zhong Yi, report to the detachment commander."

The answer was mechanical, but it was almost muttering.

"It's you......"

Lin Yi sighed and stopped talking.

"Sir, are we retreating?"

Zhong Yi asked in a weak voice without emotion, not seeming to be interested in the answer.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and turned his head to the other side.

"The order was received: to tow back the damaged vehicles and evacuate the wounded overnight, to withdraw the Janissaries Infantry Regiment to the landing ground first, to the rear of the armored assault group and the covering group, and to withdraw from the position after dawn under the cover of artillery and aviation......"

Zhong Yi interrupted him dreamily: "We didn't sacrifice in vain, right?" ”

After being silent for half a cigarette, Lin Yi turned his back to the sky, and the light of the flares through the cracks in the trees showed his pale face even more.

"yes, we won't die in vain."

……

"As of nine o'clock last night, the additional troops of our army to the third reserve defense line of the 'wild boar' forest include......"

In a dimly lit basement in Orenburg, Admiral Nakasidze is giving an update on the battle for Alexei Alexeivich Brusilov, a former prefect and fugitive who is wrapped up in mummies.

"Rushed from the Orenburg Fortress District, two infantry regiments of the 63rd Infantry Division, with two 47-mm anti-tank gun batteries in the Orenburg Fortress District; Rushed from Svetley, two cavalry divisions of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, with battalions of 122-mm howitzers; Rushed from Perevolotsky via Svetley, Colonel Malinov's 1st mobile group, with 120 armored vehicles and 1 cavalry division. ”

"In addition, there is the main force of the 11th Armored Vehicle Brigade, about 30 tanks and 80 armored vehicles; The 11th, 12th, and 15th motorized anti-tank battalions, as well as the main force of the 1st motorized anti-tank battalion. ”

"As for the original garrisons of the main position and the first and second reserve positions, they suffered heavy losses in the daytime battles and could no longer be used as usable combat strength. Among them: 9 of the 16 infantry battalions of the 41st Infantry Division were scattered and 3 lost more than half; The 2nd Tank Brigade was almost completely wiped out, leaving only 5 serviceable Renault light tanks in the brigade; As for the 1st separate heavy tank battalion, which played a key role in this direction, there are also 7 fully available St. Chamont heavy tanks. ”

"Including the remnants of the original garrison, there are now 12 usable infantry battalions in the 'Boar' woods, and 9 cavalry regiments equivalent to infantry battalions dismounted for combat. The technical weapons retained include: about 40 tank vehicles, about 200 armored vehicles, 16 122-mm howitzers, 40 76-mm field guns for direct fire and suppression, 20 57-mm self-propelled anti-tank guns, and 70 47-mm towed anti-tank guns. ”

"Behind the entire highland woods, after suffering from the enemy's artillery counterattack and aircraft bombardment for several days, our army's two heavy artillery groups still have about 70 heavy guns and 20 122-mm howitzers that can be used normally, and as for the ammunition in reserve, at today's rate of consumption, it can last for one and a half to two days......"

Hearing this, Brusilov snapped open his eyes, which were deep under the bandages.

"What, you think you still have a lot of chips?"
