Ouyang Yun and others expressed their opinions one by one. Only then did he wave his hand, and then said: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." Whether we like it or not, now that this has happened, we must be prepared for both. First, try to sabotage the peace talks. Regardless of whether we proceed from the overall situation or for the sake of our military training, it is the best result for this peace talks to be shattered. Second, prepare for a big war! On the way back from Hainan, I thought about it carefully, and the emergence of this situation today is actually an inevitable result. Because the contradictions between us and the Japanese army are irreconcilable! The purpose of the establishment of our student army is to resist Japan and defend the country, but as for the Japanese, their only intention is to destroy China. Some time ago, the Japanese gave up Fujian and Guangdong and did not fight, and instead fought in North China and Central China, not because of how powerful our student army was, which deterred them, but because of their strategic needs. Everyone has heard of the bursting of the Yellow River at Huayuankou, right? If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese lost their conscience and destroyed themselves, I think the west bank of the Yellow River would have fallen by now. Once Henan falls on all fronts, I don't need to say more about what will happen next, right? Next, it must be Wuhan, and then Jiangxi. At that time, if even Hunan is taken down, we will be surrounded by the Japanese on three sides, and at that time, it will be much easier for the Japanese to send troops to Fujian and Guangdong. Since we and the Japanese will have to fight sooner or later, it is not necessarily a bad thing to go to war at this time. The Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have just occupied, and the foundation is not yet solid, which is just conducive to our trouble. I figured out that instead of being beaten passively, it was better to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, regardless of whether we can sabotage this peace talks or not, on the military front, we must take the initiative and provoke a war first. As soon as the peace talks are not reached, the Japanese will not dare to transfer troops to South China from other battlefields, and this is our advantage at the present stage. What do you think? ”

Ouyang Yun's proposal was beyond everyone's expectations. is as radical as Chu Tiange and a single male, and none of them immediately responded. Jiang Shuren and Fan Xudong were even more worried, Jiang Shuren coughed softly twice, and when everyone looked at him, he looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Commander-in-chief, is it too hasty to take the initiative to attack?" With our current financial resources, there is no problem in sustaining one or two major battles, but once this starts, it will be a decisive battle that will never stop fighting. My greatest concern is that once the Japanese navy blocks the sea routes and we cut off our access to foreign countries, we will not be able to generate foreign exchange earnings in the few profitable industries that we now rely on to keep the government running and the military spending. This is from an economic point of view, and imports such as oil and steel will inevitably be affected. The oil fields in Hainan have not yet been officially put into production, and the tungsten mining area, the two major mining areas in Fujian, has now played a role, but the iron mining area has not been able to form a scale because of the repeated bombing by the Japanese. If we rely purely on Shiroku iron ore, our steel production will not be able to keep up! ”

Fighting a war requires money, especially in a unit like the Cadet Army, which has a relatively high degree of mechanization and a relatively good treatment of soldiers, and fighting a war is even more costly, and Jiang Shuren is in charge of the finances of the Cadet Military Government, and no one is more familiar with the specific situation in this regard than him. When he said this, the expressions on the faces of the others became even more solemn.

Ouyang Yun turned the pen in his right hand, glanced at everyone, and said, "If we can't afford to fight, we have to fight, because even if we don't fight now, we will be forced to fight soon." I mean, it's better to attack than to be beaten passively! I decided not only to start fighting in Zhejiang, but also to fight Taiwan if possible. ”

Only Jiang Guangnai knew about the attack on Taiwan, and when others heard about it for the first time, they were no less shocked than when they heard the news that the Yellow River had burst its banks.

Li Tieshu was also taken aback and asked, "Do you want to fight Taiwan?!" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded: "You have to fight." We attacked Zhejiang in order to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese South China Front Army had not yet been assembled, to concentrate superior forces and to annihilate its vital strength as much as possible, so as to prepare for future defensive battles. And once the Japanese army decides to use troops against us, Taiwan is bound to be an offensive front. At that time, both the army and the navy will be able to attack from Taiwan and form a two-way attack. What good is it for us to strike Taiwan first? Not only can we take them by surprise and try our best to disrupt the situation in Taiwan, but even better, we can develop armed forces in Taiwan and turn into a deterrent force. ”

When Ouyang Yun said this, Fan Xudong raised his hand.

Ouyang Yun looked at him and said, "Does Mr. Fan have any objections?" Please speak. ”

So far, only Jiang Shuren and Fan Xudong, two non-military figures, have questioned Ouyang Yun's initiative plan. The reason why this is the case is because other people, as soldiers, regard obedience to orders as their duty, and it is difficult to question the orders of the upper peak. Fan Jiang and the two of them did not have this restriction, so they could speak freely. This also illustrates the unity of the military dignitaries of the Cadet Army on another level, which makes Ouyang Yun more solid in his heart. Fan Xudong said: "Commander-in-chief, as far as you just said, if you want to take the initiative to attack Taiwan to achieve results, you must ultimately get the support of the Taiwanese, but as far as I know, now that the Taiwanese have almost been assimilated by the Japanese, will they support our army's actions?" If we do not have the support of the local people in Taiwan, then what is the point of our active attack? With our current strength, it is possible to occupy Taiwan if the whole army is mobilized. But from the perspective of objective conditions, this is simply impossible, so I think this move should be discussed again! ”

Fan Xudong's words touched the hearts of many people. Except for Jiang Guangnai, after listening to him, the others nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Ouyang Yun, wondering how he could answer this doubt.

Ouyang Yun came prepared, he could convince Jiang Guangnai, and it was naturally no problem to convince others. "Fan is always worried that the Taiwanese have forgotten their roots and have submitted to Japan, right? This worry is superfluous, do you know the origin of the telegram that 'the gentry of Taiwan, who are not observant of the Japanese, and are willing to wear the holy Qing forever for the island country'? This was a 16-character telegram that telegraphed the whole country when Taiwan's military and civilians resisted the Japanese invasion. Keep in mind that by this time, the Qing court had already abandoned Taiwan, and nominally, Taiwan had been assigned to Japan. What does this mean? This shows that our people in Taiwan have never given up resistance from the beginning to the end, and they have never thought of becoming slaves to the country. That's right, after decades of assimilation, many of the younger generation on the island of Taiwan have indeed been brainwashed by the Japanese, and some people have willingly changed their names and surnames to join the Japanese army. As far as I know, less than a division. The reason why this situation has occurred is because the people of Taiwan still miss this homeland in their hearts and want to return to the embrace of the motherland. The Japanese did not dare to trust them at all, so even though they were very eager to obtain a huge supply of troops, they did not dare to act at all. As for the objective conditions for attacking Taiwan, because our ultimate goal is only to establish an anti-Japanese base on the island of Taiwan, the scale of this active offensive will be limited, and we can completely do it with our existing naval resources. In addition, due to the destruction of Kaohsiung Airport, Japan has only two small airports left in the southern sector of Taiwan, and the number of aircraft stored is limited. If our army takes the initiative to attack, it will be able to maintain air supremacy for a certain period of time, and this will be conducive to the offensive of our ground forces. Of course, this is still my immature idea. As for the specific course of action, I am still considering whether to launch a large-scale attack and then take the opportunity to infiltrate the seed troops, or just for the purpose of infiltration, directly infiltrate on a small scale and in multiple batches. We can all discuss these. ”

Hearing Ouyang Yun's words, Fan Xudong was silent. After all, military affairs are not his specialty, and once Ouyang Yun talks about things from a professional point of view, he can't interject.

Jiang Guangnai spoke at this time, and he said: "I agree with the opinion of the commander-in-chief. Taiwan is worth fighting and must be fought -- Taiwan's existence, relative to our military, is actually a giant-class aircraft carrier. With this unsinkable aircraft carrier, the Japanese could not only send a steady stream of fighters to carry out air raids and harassment, but also organize fleets for expeditions. In that case, it is not as simple as being attacked on both sides, but it is completely controlled by others. Our navy is still under intense construction, and for quite a long time it will not be able to compete with the Japanese navy. Therefore, we should take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not yet realized this point and quickly send troops to Taiwan, and at the worst we must leave the seeds of riots in Taiwan, echoing the anti-Japanese war of Minyue Qiong! ”

Jiang Guangnai is worthy of being a veteran of the battle, and his vision of the problem is more thorough than Ouyang Yun's, and when he said this, others immediately felt reasonable, that is, Fan Xudong and Jiang Shuren, and also felt that the advantages of taking the initiative to send troops to Taiwan far outweighed the disadvantages, and it was worth it and necessary.

At this point, the matter of sending troops to Taiwan has been decided. Ouyang Yun began to arrange the troops and arrange the corresponding matters. He glanced at everyone, stood up and said, "Then, the general strategy has been decided, and next, regardless of military and political affairs, will start to act with this as the center." Tie Lin Fei! ”

"Here!" Tie Linfei stood up and responded majestically. This year, the Air Force of the Cadet Army first bravely defeated the Japanese Combined Fleet, and then succeeded in attacking the Kaohsiung airfield. Although Tie Linfei is steady, he can't help but feel proud of the spring breeze, at this time, Meng Ouyang Yun called it, and he knew that the Dao was useful to his own place, and he was in a keen mood, and his voice was much higher.

Ouyang Yun looked at him and said: "I will give you three days to reconnoiter the main assembly areas of the Japanese army in the border area of Fujian and Zhejiang, and in addition, draw up an air raid plan, targeting Quzhou Airport and Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport." ”

Tie Linfei first replied loudly: "Yes!" Then he asked: "Commander-in-chief, when will the bombing mission begin?" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't answer him immediately with this question, but instead asked, "How is the training of the newly enlisted aviation troops?" What is the average liftoff time? ”

Tie Linfei replied confidently: "I can already take charge of myself, and the average liftoff time is more than 200 hours." ”

"Okay, the plan is formulated, and after sending it to me for review, you can take action!"

"Yes!" Tie Linfei excitedly agreed and sat down satisfied.
