The heavy snow that was sprinkled one after another, as if the situation on the Western Front was gradually becoming obscure, made everyone fall into it, but they could not see it clearly. 【 I want: super fast update 】

It would be false to say that he was not worried, that such a large-scale battle had never been experienced by either the General Staff Officers or Li Mo, and that this would be the first time that the three armed services would coordinate operations in the true sense of the word.

Therefore, in the Pentagon, which has been famous all over the world and was pirated by Emperor Li Da, it has become one of the landmark buildings of China, and it has become one of the landmark buildings of China."

On the rooftop next to the confidential conference room on the fourth floor, three men gathered together and talked about what "hearty laughter came from time to time" so that the passing staff and staff officers subconsciously glanced at each other to see who was lazy, but after seeing the appearance clearly, they all scattered to do their own things.

Duan Fei swept his nose with his hand, and when he met two big brothers and smokers, he was helpless.

Li Qiang didn't seem to see Duan Fei's movements, and smiled at Zhang Shun: "Shun, you have been fat recently" The six large formations and 6 divisions have all finished training, right? What's next? Is it time to counterattack the Coron Islands? ”

"Nope."

Zhang Shun shook his head, "After the start of the war, the first batch of reserve six mainland divisions were each strengthened to 50,000 people, which did make him, the commander of the 6th team, happy" but also knew his own pressure" Among the three generals of the year, in terms of ability and level, he may have been criticized, in order not to let others poke his spine and say that he was the emperor's cronies and sat on the throne of the commander, so he spent almost half of his time charging in the military academy over the years, with the end of the naval battle of the Colon Islands, "the eastern disturbance has begun, the war has been pushed to the island, and the 6th team will begin to attack on all fronts" He's finally going to face a test.

So he immediately said: "It's not so easy to hit the Coron Islands, it's too far from Honolulu, and the logistics and supplies, especially fresh water, food and so on, are too troublesome, so you have to find a place to stay first." ”

"Where to stay?" As soon as he heard Zhang Shun's words, Li Qiang's eyes flashed coldly: "Are you going to win over Ecuador?" ”

"Hmm." Duan Fei next to him had already nodded: "Gu Weijun has already left for Ecuador five days ago, and now that the United States occupies the Colon Islands, there are already anti-American voices in Ecuador, which is a good opportunity."

Ji Qiang doesn't know much about politics, "He likes to talk with bullets and daggers, so he doesn't delve into the actions of the foreign department" and said with a smile: "The Coron Islands don't fight for the time being, isn't the 6th team idle and have nothing to do?" ”

"Come on, I can't compare to your Nighthawk. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Zhang Shun pouted: "The plan of the General Staff has come down, we must completely take the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands within three months, and stabilize the surrounding areas of Nauru first." ", "The Southwest is going to fight? Didn't you say that you were going to hit Malaya and the Indian Ocean first? "The General Staff believes that the British and American troops in Australia cannot be allowed to attack Northwest Australia too easily, nor can they attack Northwest Australia smoothly, and they must make more use of the island to hold them back. Zhang Shun said the task he just got, frowning: "You say, "Is the emperor starting the Western Front too early this time?" Fighting the Malayan Peninsula and Sarawak can still be justified: "But attacking India is not." ”

"It's about cooperating with Germany!" Duan Fei's eyes narrowed.

"Germany?" Zhang Shun glanced at Li Qiang, and four eyes fell on Duan Fei at the same time: "Germany can't hold on?" "I can't hold it up, but the pressure is too much! After all, Duan Fei has been walking around in the General Staff for a long time, "I know some things more than the two of them, so I explain it eloquently."

It turned out that after Spain, Portugal, Italy and other countries joined the Entente one after another, the pressure on Germany's western front increased several times, although the previous Chinese encirclement of Western Siberia by millions of Russian troops "forced Russia to increase troops in the Ural Mountains" basically relieved their pressure on the eastern front, but the western front is still a big problem.

The Entente currently has gathered nearly four million troops there, "and the number is still increasing, although Germany has responded" also from the Eastern Front to five armies, and has also mobilized more than 500,000 troops to reinforce the Western Front, but the pressure of only one country against several countries is too great, and the original plan for Austria-Hungary to send troops to the Western Front has been aborted, because Italy has dragged Austria-Hungary's nearly 500,000 troops.

Seriously, the quagmire of the Battle of Gallipoli (or Battle of the Dardanelles) had disgusted the Allies: "There are many signs that Britain has decided to put an end to this senseless war of attrition, and the whereabouts of the nearly 300,000 remaining troops there are under watch."

Germany believes that if China does not exert pressure on the Indian Ocean, "these hundreds of thousands of veterans who have survived the war will definitely be used on the key western front, and the situation of the German army, which is already under great pressure, will become more severe, so it hopes that China can launch an offensive in the Indian Ocean as soon as possible to attract these more than 300,000 troops."

In addition, a year and a half of consumption has already put several major European allies under severe domestic pressure, and supplies and food have begun to gradually strain, "so they are eager to open up the Eastern Railway and get external blood transfusions, and from the current progress, this vital artery can be repaired by the end of June."

On the contrary, the Entente has become aggressive because of the mobilization of the United States after the Gibraltar Conference, and the materials and funds have been guaranteed, according to the news of the return of the German General Staff and Wang Shizhen, an unprecedented major war will be opened from the Western Front in January.

Therefore, Germany has sent telegrams repeatedly and four times, demanding that China launch an offensive on the Western Front as soon as possible, "cut off India, the source of Britain's large foreign aid and human resources, open up the Strait of Hormuz, and truly connect the alliance."

In fact, everyone knows very well that although the Allies also have the strength to compete with the Entente in terms of numbers, because of the Indian Ocean and the two major canals, they have always fought their own battles, and the possibility of winning in the long run is very high.

"Aren't you going to open up the Russian line?" Zhang Shun asked.

"It's not that simple." Duan Fei shook his head: "At least before May, there are no conditions for a large-scale campaign in Western Siberia" And we can't really control Lenin's forces yet, and I don't know if he will defect once he gains power in the current situation, plus Europe has not yet reached the end of the mountain, so it is helpful to consume some more Russian forces in Western Siberia.

Duan Fei's words made the two nod at the same time: "The greater Russia is consumed, the better, only when they are exhausted and unable to continue, let Lenin come to power to gain great benefits, because at that time, even if the Bolsheviks defected, they did not have enough strength to fight for consumption, so they could only choose to completely withdraw from the war."

This explanation also made the two understand why they had to start the western attack plan early.

However, military operations to the west were not achieved overnight, and the four major points of Malaya, Ceylon, Mumbai and the Strait of Hormuz, the Allies were almost already fortified.

Needless to say, the Malayan Peninsula is unrealistic to attack the west if it cannot be taken there.

Ceylon is located in the southeast of the Indian peninsula "is an important barrier, if you want to attack India by sea, it is a good springboard, in addition to Mumbai is the economic center of India, but also the base camp of the Entente Indian Ocean Fleet, and the Strait of Hormuz because of the Persian barrier, itself is also a very difficult geographical environment" is the back line of the Entente They will definitely defend there. ”

"Duan Fei, in your opinion, how long will it take to open the Strait of Hormuz?"

Duan Fei shook his head: "I don't know" But this battle is not in a hurry, and the sea may still be able to gain the initiative, but the pressure on the 6th Army will be too much, starting from the Malay Peninsula, the Entente countries in the four major regions have deployed a large number of troops, "If the Gallipoli Peninsula campaign, the hundreds of thousands of troops are also deployed there, the 6th Army will face at least three hundred to five million enemy troops!" ”

"Glutinous."

Hearing this number, Zhang Shun couldn't help but gasp. "The cold air" said in surprise: "So many troops from the Entente? ”

"A lot?" Duan Fei swept his eyes at Zhang Shun: "At present, there are 50,000 in Sarawak, about 20,000 in the Malay Peninsula", 250,000 in Ceylon, India is a national mobilization, tens of millions of people are easy to arm an army of this size, Persia is the traditional sphere of influence of the British, hundreds of thousands of troops pull up without any problems, don't forget that the United States also promised to send 20,000 6 troops to assist, the batch of 10,000 has arrived in India, and according to the current trend, it may increase, and only last month they provided at least 10,000 rifles and ammunition to the Entente.

According to our intelligence, Britain has fully mobilized all its colonies, and the number of armed men has exceeded 10,000, and may eventually reach 150,000 and counting, half of which are in Europe, and the rest are concentrated in the Indian Ocean and Australia.

The United States entered the war a little later, but Gibraltar also began to mobilize the whole country, and it is said that the number of troops in the batch of 6 troops is required to reach 50,000 "plus Italy and France have sufficient colonial troops to transfer, Spain itself is also a country with a large population, and Russia is already armed with 150,000, so if you count the total number of mobilized Entente countries, it is actually close to the 40,000 mark!" ”

"Well, when is this going to be?" Zhang Shun sucked hard. Yan, although his tone was worried, the more eager his face became, "You must know that the Chinese batch of mobilization is only 15 divisions, plus the total number of old troops is not more than 50,000, but it has to face an army of 20,000, even if so many pigs are slaughtered in front of them, it will take a few years to kill!"

"Does a large number of people guarantee victory?" , Li Qiang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly in the flickering cold light: "There are many British colonies, but India is still the one with more human resources, as long as India is taken, the sun will not set and it will become sunset!" ”

"Although the words are good, the road to India is not easy to walk, the northwest is basically impossible, and the army of the alpine and hypoxic environment cannot walk, and it is ——。 by sea alone."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily." Before Duan Fei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a big hand from Li Qiang.

"We've found a way!"

"Really!"
