Chapter 616: Combat Mission

Compared with the Atlantic theater, the real main direction of attack of the Ming Dynasty is mainly the huge eastern colonies of the British in addition to Shenzhou.

The South Seas, Burma, India, and Australia and New Zealand, two forgotten and lonely places......

The reason why Britain is the world's largest power depends on the support of its vast colonies, especially the Indian colonies.

Britain lost India and the South Seas, like France in West Africa, and the empire would be diminished in color and no longer have global influence.

So the Pacific theater of operations is very important.

And Zhu Fugui also handed over this burden to his always most trusted confidant and favorite general-Xiaobai Qi Mobai.

As the saying goes, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

Although Mo Bai has always advertised himself as Xiao Li Dingguo, everyone agrees that he is Xiao Baiqi.

He is a very good candidate to travel through Malay, Burma and India.

Chen Qiang, a rising star in the navy who was born as an international student in Xianghuai and successfully commanded the Hawaii Liberation Campaign under the guidance of Morishita, also made up for the shortcomings of the Mobaishui Battle.

In fact, the combination of Morishita and Guo Dazhuang to be in charge of the Pacific Theater is also very suitable.

This was the case with the first draft submitted by the General Staff Committee.

However, in the end, it was vetoed by Zhu Fugui.

Otherwise, Morishita took a group of North Koreans and fought all the way along Malay, Burma, and India, and the smell would be too rushing.

Although the combination of Mo Bai and Chen Qiang is a little weaker than Lu Qiang and Hai, it is also okay.

After all, the Indian subcontinent has a lot to offer.

Of course, according to the "Three Emperors Treaty", the Ming Dynasty attacked India and handed over most of the territory to Germany and Austria to administer.

This is also the right thing to do.

If it is Jingzhou, then Zhu Fugui may not be able to return it.

But in India, where the hands are kneading the baba and the mud in the other, Zhu Fugui still borrows and repays, and he is quite creditworthy.

After all, the export of people in Europe and North Africa is obviously more violent than that of the Ming Dynasty in North America, Shenzhou, and India-South Seas.

The British, even if they had a shred of sanity, would not have been able to support India in a head-on conflict with Germany.

At most, it is to support North America with a superior navy.

The enemy Mo Bai will face will be a colonial army with Indians and Malays as the main body, a large number of people, but low combat effectiveness.

That's where he got into play.

The Ming court may also stage a scene at that time, and I am blind but can still serve as a referee.

As for the final Nanyin war zone, it is obviously the most dispensable war zone.

This can be seen from the configuration of only 2 lieutenant colonels and 1 major in the Nanyin Theater.

The main reason for the establishment of the Nanyin Theater is to prevent the European suzerains of South American countries from interfering and playing the role of regional blocking.

In addition, they are also responsible for defending the core interests of the Ming Dynasty in the Southern Yinzhou region.

Take, for example, the copper mines in Chile.

Take, for example, the Panama Canal.

Of course, there is no Panama Canal yet.

Although the Panama Canal is only 6 kilometers long, it involves a huge topographical difference, requiring the construction of large dams and locks to control the water level before it can be navigated.

Daming is not short of manpower.

Even if the railway from Shiyan to Xi'an, the rammed earth road from Xi'an to Yili, and the railway from Honghaikou to the Balkans, the three major projects are built at the same time, Daming can still pull up another engineering team.

After all, the industrial and agricultural industries of the Ming Dynasty, especially the industry, exist more to develop the industrial chain, cultivate talents, and ensure employment.

For example, in the steelmaking industry, Zhu Fugui can purchase all the high-quality and low-cost steel of the later generations, without necessarily expanding Daming's own production capacity.

In this way, the young and strong labor force will be saved.

As long as you promise more than five times the salary and implement a number of benefits such as affordable housing, it is not difficult to recruit fierce men who dare to enter the tropical primeval forests of Central America to build roads, build bridges and dig canals.

It's just that digging canals is much more technical than building roads.

At present, the team of Professor Sha Jingfang, an expert in this field of Daming, is in full swing to build the Colorado River Water Conservancy Project.

After four years of construction, it is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The Panama Canal is unlikely to be built in any short period of time.

So on the whole, the targets to be defended by the South American theater have not appeared, and the strength is almost reasonable.

At present, Daming has completed a new round of military expansion and reorganization.

The number of troops has increased from 400,000 two years ago to 720,000, which is close to the more than 800,000 promised to the German-Austrian allies.

Thereinto:

【Beiyin Theater】

Troop size: 12 divisions, 115,000 men.

Troop size: 30 divisions, 319,000 men.

Note: The Zuochu army has about 50,000 troops and about 200,000 old-style troops, which are relatively reliable friendly forces with certain combat capabilities.

【Pacific Theater】

Combat Mission: Wipe out all the colonies of the Great Powers in the East, dismember India, execute all prisoners on the Australian continent, and control the number of eucalyptus, kangaroos, and koalas.

Troop size: 20 divisions, 217,000 men.

After clarifying the combat tasks and missions of each theater, Zhu Fugui issued exquisite letters of appointment to the generals.

The letter of appointment is made by thermal transfer printing and laser printing technology, and has the function of polarizing light color change, which is absolutely true and highly collectible in this era.

In addition, there is also a saber per person, which is a special steel forged by Master Guo, a special adviser of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, with a high-pressure forging machine, and is hand-polished by the sword-sharpening immortals of the Wajima Metropolitan Protectorate for two years and five months.

It is particularly sharp and shiny, and it is not a problem to blow hair and break hair.

"Everyone!"

Zhu Fugui raised the chicken bowl cup (pseudo), and all the generals, including Yin Susu, also raised the bowl with spirits handed over by the orderly.

"The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, in this battle, all the monarchs are brave, Wuyun Longchang, do it!"

"Never give up to repay the grace of heaven! Dry! ”

Zhu Fugui drank the liquor with everyone.

The chicken bowl cups (pseudo) and the wine bowls were all smashed to the ground, making a breathtaking sound.
