“…… The Central Asian Front's railway renovation plan can be completed by the end of the month. The Northern Front's progress in renovating the railways is still lagging behind, and it may be the first stage of the task, so that the original plan for the spring offensive of the two fronts to launch a general attack at the same time has to be somewhat revised, and it is planned that the Central Asian Front will launch a general offensive first in early March, and the Northern Front will follow up in the next two to three weeks. The combat missions of the two fronts remained unchanged: the Central Asian Front still had to break through the Ural River and capture Orenburg by May; The Northern Front must break through the Ural Mountains and capture Chelyabinsk by mid-May; The two armies then combined to attack the Volga-trans-Volga town of Samara, and then used it as a springboard to march all the way west to Moscow, all the way south to Tsaritsyn (i.e., Stalingrad or Volgograd in another time and space) and to Rostov-on-Don, which was bound to force Russia to surrender by September. ”

"In view of the limited tonnage of transport ships allocated, the SF operations in the South-Eastern Theater will be limited to the capture of Bougainville Island and Budu in the southeast of the Papua Peninsula from March to April, and then the offensive will be suspended from April to May and the construction of airfields to consolidate positions due to the transfer of the 1st Mobile Fleet and limited transport ships to the North Sea side. The plan is to restart the offensive in June, take control of all key points in the Solomon Islands in one fell swoop, and if the situation develops well, it can restart MO operations and capture Port Moresby. Direct threat to northern Australia......"

"In the East China Sea, the fortification of the Hawaiian Islands is still progressing steadily, while the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands, which serve as flank cover, continue to consolidate their main strongholds. However, due to the shortage of naval forces and the continuous enhancement of the US military's countermeasure capability, the operation to break diplomatic relations on the east coast of the United States has entered a low ebb, and plans have now been made to dispatch submarines and fast armored cruisers to the East China Sea Fleet to take turns stationed at Pearl Harbor and Truk with the 1st Mobile Fleet as the situation, so as to provide a strong backup ......."

"On the Beihai side, an agreement has recently been reached with the Japanese side, under the cover of the 1st Mobile Fleet, with about 50,000 troops of two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army, to recover Kodiak Island in one fell swoop, and at the same time rescue and withdraw the Ozawa detachment trapped on the Kenai Peninsula. After that, the island of Unarasca, which is more convenient for supply and more conducive to organizing defense, will be the core of the North Sea Theater of Operations, and it will be stationed with heavy troops to defend it. Kodiak Island, which is too vast on the ground, is used as a transit point for guard outposts and harassment infiltration, with only a few surveillance units stationed there, and facilities available to the larger forces are destroyed as much as possible......"

Hearing this, Liu Qianhua rarely interrupted Gu Yingyang's eloquent remarks: "Actually, you took the initiative to give up Kodiak Island, right?" Can the Japanese swallow this breath? ”

Gu Yingyang calmly lowered his hand and said: "I have made it clear to them, the 1st Mobile Fleet cannot be stationed in the North Pacific, and there are not enough transport ships to maintain the occupation of the entire Alaska for the time being, this operation is mainly to rescue the trapped troops on Kodiak Island and the Kenai Peninsula, as for retreating to Unaralaca Island, it is to seize the entire Alaska more smoothly in the future, in the final analysis, only by finally defeating the US Navy, Alaska can really become the territory of Japan." ”

"So they believe it?"

"If you don't believe it, there's no better way, I guess I just want to get back face and pull it down. Anyway, the most basic, the Kamchatka Peninsula has already arrived, Alaska is just the icing on the cake, I am naturally happy to get it, and if I can't get it, I won't be resentful to the bones, and the 1st Mobile Fleet has run down this time, and the empire can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. ”

Liu Qianhua blinked and smiled: "It's okay, it's a big deal, I personally went to their emperor to talk about it, and I was afraid that he wouldn't give me face——。 ”

Gu Yingyang scratched his head and said: "It's really going to get to the point where the emperor has to come forward, the old minister is willing to be a cow and a horse, and carry the emperor to Japan to settle accounts with the brainless emperor." ”

"I've memorized this, don't fail to verify it when the time comes—well, it's not too early, let's continue quickly."

"Yes, the next is the recent summary of the international situation-"

Before Gu Yingyang's words fell, he quickly pulled out a map of Europe.

"In Eastern Europe, the German and Austrian forces will launch a spring offensive against Russia in early March, with more than 110 divisions invested, divided into three groups in the north, center and south to attack at the same time, the task of the northern route is to break through to Pskov, the gateway to Petrograd, the imperial capital of Russia, and the task of the middle route is to break through to Smolensk, the gateway to Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia. The task of the southern road is to occupy the political and economic center of Ukraine - Kyiv. If the two routes in the north and the central are going well, Germany and Austria will concentrate their forces on Ukraine and march to Rostov-on-Don, striving to achieve a meeting with our army before September, and at the same time cut off the main food source in the Russian interior, so that the Russian army will lose its ability to continue fighting. ”

"In Western Europe, the Germans promised to continue to hold on to their trench system and not to launch the Battle of Verdun as we know it in that time and space, so that the Entente, which had already begun to receive American assistance, would be able to launch a new offensive on a much larger scale than the Battle of the Somme in 1916 in that time and space, and for now we can only hope that Germany can hold out on its own until Russia is finished."

"On the Turkish side, the battle situation in the past half a month is not optimistic, and the various mistakes made in the battle of the Dardanelles in another time and space, the Entente here has not touched the same: the fleet shelling company with a large-scale amphibious landing, in one go, there are aircraft cover in the air, there are tanks and amphibious transport vehicles on the ground to quickly break through, the Turks did not have time to react, within 36 hours, the southern part of the Gallipoli Peninsula was cut off, and the British artillery was directly erected to the narrowest part of the strait, directly covering the minesweepers to enter and open the way. The Turks frantically counterattacked, helplessly hindered by the mountainous terrain and the enemy's superior naval artillery fire, and the naval fleet sent to the Sea of Marmara to shell the enemy's landing force was attacked by enemy submarines and torpedo planes, and suffered huge losses. The Russian fleet on the Black Sea side took the opportunity to launch a sabotage war, sinking a large number of coal carriers from the northeastern coal port of Turkey to Constantinople, resulting in no coal for Turkish warships and trains......"

Liu Qianhua couldn't help frowning slightly: "It sounds dangerous." ”

Gu Yingyang also looked uneasy. Brushing his whip and rubbing his hands, he said: "Yes, although German submarines and Turkish torpedo boats have made frequent sorties and achieved certain results, but they are not enough to stop the offensive momentum of the Allied forces, the latest news is: the Turkish defenders who were cut off at the southern end of the peninsula have cut off contact, and most of the batteries on the second layer of defense line have been destroyed, and the last layer of battery defense may be attacked at any time." If the third battery line was completely destroyed, the Allies would be able to clear the narrowest part of the strait unhindered, and then break through into the Sea of Marmara, threatening the Turkish imperial capital until the Bosphorus was opened and a strategic rendezvous with Russia was achieved. ”

"Is there a way to update?"

Like her father, Liu Qianhua always hoped that the person who stated the problem would come up with a direct solution.

Gu Yingyang, as always, did not disappoint his Liu Lord: "Yes, it is still early to open up the communication line between Turkey and Turkey, and the only thing that can be quickly sent to reinforce and have an immediate effect at the moment is the shore-based aviation of the navy." At the end of last year, we began to repair in advance a number of aviation bases capable of taking off and landing large planes in the areas controlled by our Caspian Front and in Turkey, reserved ground crews, and stockpiled some combat materials, and now more than 150 four-engine heavy land attack planes of the three land attack wings of the Third Air Fleet are being transferred to the Caspian Sea coast via Nanyang and domestic bases, and all plans are to fly over the Caspian Sea and Persian territory by the end of the month. Arrival at the base in Turkey. In addition, the two transport aircraft wings directly under the base camp will dismantle more than 100 fighters from the other two fighter wings of the Third Carrier and transport them to Turkey, and will be responsible for airlifting the personnel and various combat materials needed by the naval aviation units stationed in Turkey. ”

Liu Qianhua suddenly remembered the self-righteous faces of those old navy bureaucrats, and smiled half-seriously and half-sarcastically: "This can be regarded as a painful loss, isn't there a shouting on the navy's side?" ”

Gu Yingyang said disapprenously: "The opposition is not small, but it is just a rambling look at the losses that may occur in the long-distance transfer." Anyway, everyone knows in their hearts, the Indian side will not need the mainland attack of the three ships for the time being, and it will be idle if it is idle, even if there is no Turkey such thing, sooner or later the essence will have to be thrown to Rabaul, and good steel will be used on the blade. Give them the power to Turkey, and it can be regarded as lifting them, so naturally they can't be called anywhere. ”

Liu Qianhua thought about it sideways, and suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "It seems that this is still a glorious trip, I'm afraid the army is going to be jealous, right?" I have a thing on my mind...... After the crown prince got out of the army, he cried out all day long to fight on the most meaningful battlefield, and I thought about how I had to let him fulfill his wish, so as not to entangle him again in the future......"

Gu Yingyang, who has eagle eyes and wolf ears, how could he not understand the true meaning of Her Majesty the Empress, and hurriedly nodded and packed the ticket: "The old minister understands, please rest assured, I will issue an order tonight to let the 101 mixed team prepare to transfer to Turkey, and the corresponding measures in the middle, the old minister will personally pay attention to it, and it will definitely ensure that the crown prince is safe and sound." ”

"Then please Wu Linghou, if this matter of my heart can really be settled, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life...... Actually......"

Liu Qianhua thanked him, and then stopped talking, probably thinking that the time had not come, so he quickly changed his words and instructed Gu Yingyang: "This is the recent situation?" ”

"There is also a brief overview of the Americas...... The Mexican Peasant Army has lost the last part of the West Coast in the recent battle against the Gendarmes, and the smuggling of supplies to the peasant army by submarines and cruisers can no longer continue, and under the joint strangulation of the U.S. Army and the Gendarmers, coupled with the failure of the Peasant Army's radical policy and internal divisions, in the near future, this fire in the backyard of the United States will be mostly extinguished, and we will have to suspend the work of the 'M', which has been maintained for many years, and has decided to withdraw from the advisory group as soon as possible, leaving only a few volunteers to persist in the struggle with the guerrillas......

In addition, due to the increasing economic dependence on the United States and the various kinds of assistance promised by the United States, Brazil, which already has a fairly close relationship with the United States, is likely to declare war against Germany on the grounds that its merchant ships have been sunk by German submarines many times recently, although Brazil's participation in the war will not greatly change the overall balance of power. But at least a small part of the Anglo-American forces used for Atlantic escorts have been liberated, and it is also possible that the Brazilian Army will play a limited but not insignificant role in some secondary theaters......"

The absent-minded Liu Qianhua said, "I know the way," and when adjusting his sitting posture, he inadvertently swept his hand on the soft couch, but touched the list that Ye Jingying had forgotten to take with him - the list was exactly what Li Ruishi said were those "like-minded people" who hoped to return to Abyssinia with him.

"Forget it, just this once......"

Convincing himself in his heart with miraculous speed, Liu Qianhua finally spoke softly before Gu Yingyang said goodbye: "Actually, I still have a personal request...... I hope that Wu Linghou will understand......"
