Part 4 Chapter 216: Attack from All Sides (2)

Back in the conference room, Liang Tianhe seemed to be a different person, not only speaking faster, but also his eyes became sharper. high speed

"Next is the Pacific direction—"

"The former Southeast Front Theater was reorganized into the South Pacific Theater, referred to as the South Pacific Theater, under the jurisdiction of three mobile clusters in Guinea, the Solomons, and Rabaul."

"The strength of the theater army is expected to be based on 18 divisions - including four each of the Rì Division and the Korean Division, and two Siamese Divisions, and will be attached to the 6th Army Air Group."

"The main task of the theater in the near future is to seize the important places in the southern part of the Solomon Islands and southern Guinea, break through the so-called '10th degree south latitude defense line' of the Entente Powers, and then capture or suppress the enemy's strongholds in the Hebrides, Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa islands, and cut off the main lines of communication between the United States and Australia. After that, he waited for an opportunity to seize important areas along the coast of Australia and Zealand, and cut off the possibility of the Entente using Australia as a strategic counteroffensive base. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Tianhe seemed to have entered a state, stood up with his hands on the table, moved to the huge map of the world realm behind him, snatched the whip in the hands of the staff officer on duty, and waved and pointed on the starry vast Pacific Ocean.

"The former East China Sea Theater was reorganized into the East Pacific Theater, referred to as the East Pacific Theater, under the jurisdiction of the Oahu Mobile Group, the Southern Hawaiian Garrison Group and the Northern Hawaii Garrison Group, and the army strength is based on eight divisions. The basic task is to defend the Hawaiian Islands and continuously strengthen the defense capabilities of the main islands. ”

"The former North Sea Theater was reorganized into the North Pacific Theater, referred to as the North Pacific Theater, under the jurisdiction of the Honshu mobile cluster, as well as the four garrison groups of Hokkaido, Kamchatka, Kuril Mamoru and Aleutian, and the army strength was based on eight divisions of the Rì Army. The basic task is to garrison the islands of the North Pacific and be ready to reinforce other theaters of operations in the Pacific. ”

"The Central Pacific Theater, referred to as the Central Pacific Theater, has jurisdiction over the Caroline Mobile Cluster, as well as three garrison groups of Marianas, Marshall, and Gilbert, and the strength of the Army is based on eight divisions. The basic task was to garrison the islands of the Central Pacific. And ready to reinforce other theaters of operations in the Pacific. ”

Liang Tianhe paused, and no longer cared about anything, grabbed the cup, poured half a cup of water in one go, and continued again: "In addition to the above eight war zones, there will also be four garrison areas, which are——"

"Western Pacific Garrison Zone. Referred to as the Western Pacific Garrison Area, it has three garrison groups in the Philippines, Taiwan, and the Ryukyus, and its strength is based on six divisions - including two Philippine divisions. It is responsible for guarding key areas in the western Pacific and is ready to reinforce adjacent theaters of war. ”

"The Nanyang Garrison Area will take over the command of the garrison of the former Nanyang Military and Political Command District, and will have jurisdiction over the four garrison groups of Star City, Palembang, Surabaya, and Makassar. The strength was based on eight divisions – including three Siamese and one Vietnamese. It is responsible for garrisoning important places in the South Seas, maintaining local law and order, and being ready to reinforce the adjacent war zones at any time. ”

"The Siberian garrison will also take over the command of the garrison of the former East Siberian Military and Political Command District, and will have four garrison groups under its jurisdiction: Chita, Irkutsk, Siberia, and Omsk, with seven divisions as the backbone, including three Korean divisions. It is responsible for the protection of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the maintenance of law and order throughout the Greater Siberian region. ”

"Central Asian garrison group. It has three garrison groups under its jurisdiction: Almaty, Tashkent, and Semipalatinsk, and its strength is based on four divisions. It is responsible for the protection of the Central Asia Railway and its main branch lines, and the maintenance of law and order throughout the Greater Central Asia region. ”

Gollum swallowed the remaining half of the glass of water, and Liang Tianhe found that he couldn't hold back again.

"The Europa Expeditionary Force, which previously only existed on paper, will also complete the training of the first two group armies in the next six months, with each group army having three armies under its jurisdiction and a total of nine divisions."

Among them: the 51st Army was assembled in the Beijing-Tianjin area, planning to pass through the Eurasian communication line, cross Siberia and Eastern Europe to Germany; The 61st Army was assembled in the Yangtze River Delta region, planning to travel through the Indian Ocean lines of communication through the Middle East and the Balkans to Germany. ”

"As for the three armies of the second batch of the expeditionary force. The plan is to draw troops from the Eastern European Theater and the West Asian Theater to form the unit. ”

"Before arriving in Germany, the various units under the expeditionary force will be included in the sequence of the direct teams under the base camp, and other directly subordinate units include: Marine Corps Corps, Army Air Mobile Corps, Base Camp Air Transport Corps, Base Camp Maritime Corps, Army Special Intelligence Corps, Navy Special Intelligence Corps, etc."

"In addition, there are more than 10 reserve divisions in the base camp reserve from time to time, a number of cavalry brigades and armored brigades that are being reorganized or reorganized, as well as army reserve aviation groups and naval reserve air fleets with uncertain strength."

looked at Liu Ping, who was wandering diagonally, and then glanced at Yang Zhengjin, who was separated by two seats on the right and looked like he didn't care about himself. Liang Tianhe gave up.

"As for the reorganization plan of the navy, I still have to ask Chief of Staff Yan to introduce it, I'm sorry, I still have to go to the bathroom."

Liu Ping nodded "En". Raising his hand, he gestured to Admiral Yan Fu, chief of staff of the navy beside Liang Tianhe: "Then there is Chief of Staff Lao Yan." ”

No one noticed, and no one cared, Liang Tianhe clenched his fists and went out with his head held high.

Two weeks ago, Yan Fu, who was still the Minister of the Navy of the National Defense Headquarters and acting chief of staff of the Navy, has now officially returned to the post of chief of staff of the Navy, and Senior Admiral Sa Zhenbing, who was originally transferred to Zhōngyāng to take over as chief of staff of the Navy, has no choice but to continue to serve as the commander of the Combined Fleet, for which he became famous, while Marshal Lin Taizeng, who was once transferred from Minister of the Navy to the president of the Naval University, has returned to his long-entrenched position.

Yan Fu first nodded to the three marshals on his right—Minister of the Navy Lin Taezeng, Minister of National Defense Hu Ke, and Prime Minister Yang Zhengjin—across the vacant seats left by Liang Tianhe, and then got up to report: "The Navy plans to reorganize all the existing naval forces of the East Asian Alliance into three major fleets, four major front fleets, three major reserve fleets, and a number of task forces. ”

Liu Ping raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Fu, who didn't seem to like others looking at him from a high place, and subconsciously fiddled with the fountain pen covered with the cover with his left hand, and said seemingly casually: "Chief of Staff Yan doesn't have to be formal, sit down and talk." ”

Yan Fu was sincerely afraid: "Thank Your Highness for your care, the minister does not dare to disobey the etiquette, and the minister wants to point out the map for His Highness with his own hands." ”

Liu Ping lengthened his voice and pretended to be majestic: "This king is the regent of the emperor, and what he says is equivalent to the king's order, so you can sit down." As for the map, the king has it in his head, so he doesn't have to use that broken bamboo strip to point around, which makes the king dizzy. ”

"Yes. The ministers obey the orders of the regent. ”

Yan Fu bowed down and sat down at this time, and spoke solemnly.

"The three major corps include: the East Asia Joint Fleet Corps, the Maritime Escort Corps, and the Maritime Support Corps."

"The East Asia Combined Fleet Corps is under the jurisdiction of the 1st Fleet as the main artillery combat force, the 2nd Fleet as the mobile aviation force, the 11th Fleet as the guerrilla force to break the diplomatic force, and the 8th Air Fleet as the base aviation force."

"The basic strength of the Combined Fleet Corps is scheduled to reach the following scale around November this year: 12 battleships of the first class and 4 battle cruisers. The fleet has three aircraft carriers and more than 400 combat aircraft. ”

"At present, most of the troops scheduled to be integrated into the Corps are still operating in the Indian Ocean, and the forces of the Corps are expected to be regrouped on the mainland by November of this year, and thereafter. Change to the Pacific Ocean as the main direction of operations. ”

"The fundamental task of the Combined Fleet Corps is to wait for an opportunity to capture and defeat the enemy's main fleet, and then cooperate with the army to seize the enemy's main sea and air bases and cut off the enemy's main sea lines of communication."

Yan Fu sipped his saliva shallowly, and his demeanor was respectful and sincere, which was also something that Liang Tianhe, Yang Zhengjin and others could not show.

"The next Maritime Escort Corps, as the name suggests. It is a ship unit that specializes in providing direct escort for transport ship groups, and has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th escort fleets under its jurisdiction, which are respectively responsible for escorting ship groups in the Indian Ocean, South Pacific, Central Pacific, Eastern Pacific, and North Pacific. ”

"As for the Maritime Support Corps, it is a ship unit that specializes in providing transportation, landing, and supply support for large-scale combat operations, and is under the jurisdiction of: the 8th Fleet, which is a maritime transport force; the 9th Fleet as a landing support force; and the 10th Fleet, which served as a supply force at sea. ”

As soon as Yan Fu said this, the door of the conference room opened. Liang Tianhe made a sullen face and returned to his seat without saying a word.

Liu Ping nodded at Yan Fu and signaled him not to be affected by this, but the folder in his hand was turned to the bottom again.

Yan Fu bowed his head slightly gratefully, maintained his posture and continued to report: "In addition to the three major fleets, there are also four major fleets in the Indian Ocean, South Pacific, East Pacific, and Central Pacific, referred to as the Indo, South Pacific, East Pacific, and Central Pacific fleets. ”

"Among them. The strongest is the Indian fleet, under the jurisdiction of: the 4th Fleet, which is the main artillery force; the 5th Fleet as a mobile aviation unit; the 12th Fleet as a guerrilla force; As well as the 7th Air Fleet, which is the base aviation unit. ”

"The basic strength of the Indian fleet is scheduled to be adjusted to two first-class battleships, five second-class battleships, two converted aircraft carriers, and more than 300 combat aircraft after November this year."

"The basic tasks of the fleet of the Indian side. It is to wait for an opportunity to capture and annihilate the enemy's backbone fleet in the Indian Ocean, ensure the smooth flow of communication lines in the Indian Ocean, and closely support the operations of the army units in the Indian Ocean theaters. ”

"The second is the South Pacific Fleet, the main force of which is the 3rd Fleet, which is attached to the 3rd Air Fleet. Its strength is based on old battleships and armored cruisers, and it has more than 200 combat aircraft. Its main task is to closely support the South Pacific Theater Army in operations and to maintain a jǐng guard against the waters south and east of the Bismarck Archipelago. ”

"Once again, it is the East Pacific Fleet, and its main force is organized into the 6th Fleet, which is attached to the 5th Air Fleet. Its strength is mainly high-speed armored cruisers, large submarines, and coastal defense ships, and it has more than 200 combat aircraft. Its main task was to carry out sabotage operations on the U.S.-Australia communication line and maintain a jǐng guard in the waters around the Hawaiian Islands. ”

"The smallest is the Central Pacific Fleet, which is attached to the 6th Air Fleet, and its strength is dominated by base garrison troops and base aviation units. Its main task was to provide a screen for the forward base of the Combined Fleet in the Caroline Islands around the Marshall Islands and the Gilbert Islands. ”

Seeing that the folder in Liu Ping's hand had turned to the bottom for the third time, Yan Fu took a sip of water and increased his speed of speech slightly.

"In addition to the general and side fleets, there are also three major fleets in the North Pacific, the South Ocean, and the West Pacific, referred to as the North Pacific, South Ocean, and West Pacific fleets, and their strength is mainly old cruisers, modified ad hoc cruisers, and requisitioned fishing boats.

"The Northern Tai Jǐng Reserve Fleet is responsible for regular patrols of the Aleutian Islands, the Aleutian Islands, the Kuril Islands, and the waters east of the Kamchatka Peninsula;"

"The South Ocean Jǐng Reserve Fleet is responsible for the waters south of the East Indies and west of the Malayan Peninsula;"

"The Western Tai Jǐng Reserve Fleet is responsible for the sea areas east of Ryukyu, Taiwan, and the Philippines."

"—The above is the plan for the reorganization of the navy, please review it by the regent."

Liu Ping rubbed his temples, glanced at the old ministers in front of him and on his right, and quietly flipped the folder back to the cover, and slowly revisited it.

After an embarrassing silence mixed with the sound of coughing, drinking water, turning paper, fan turning, sighing, fingers tapping the table, and chairs mopping the floor, Liu Ping finally closed the folder under the increasingly impatient gazes of Yang Zhengjin, Liang Tianhe and others.

"It's another reorganization of the theater of operations, another reorganization of the fleet, and another training of the Europa Expeditionary Force, all of which are counted. In my king's view, you intend to attack on the four fronts of Eastern Europe, the South Pacific, West Asia, and Africa at the same time, completely ignoring the supply difficulties and the crisis of national strength, which has deviated far from the guiding ideology since the beginning of the war. Can any of you explain to the king what you want to do? ”
