"Warship business!"

Li Yunlong, who returned to the regiment headquarters, his eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and his tone was emotional:

"Finally there's almost a warship business..."

As a general, Li Yunlong's current vision is already different, and he knows that if he wants to enrich the country, he must first strengthen the army.

A strong country must have its own strong navy in addition to a strong army and air force.

As early as more than a year ago, Boss Chen revealed to Li Yunlong that there would be a warship business in the future.

And now the warship business is finally coming.

The warship business is similar to before, and the warships that kill the devils, or the admirals of the devils, and the army generals who manage the warships of the devils, can get the warships, the most advanced and powerful warships in the world.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and smiled slightly: "Old Li, it seems that you have to start studying the military theory of commanding naval operations, especially landing operations." ”

Before parting, Boss Chen also said that in a few days he would send a book on military theory on sea supremacy and command of naval operations.

Although studying these things does not allow an admiral to have a wealth of combat experience in commanding the navy.

However, you can have a clear understanding of commanding naval operations, so that you will not be blinded and know nothing.

Li Yunlong thought about it carefully: "You can study the landing operation, just command the navy operation, our old Li is an infantryman, and he can't do the work of the navy, let me be the principal of an aviation school, it belongs to catching ducks on the shelves." ”

This time after earning a warship, the Eighth Route Army will inevitably choose some soldiers as naval cadets to study at Boss Chen's military base.

When the time comes, the Eighth Route Army will definitely form a navy.

If Li Yunlong is allowed to be the commander of the navy, Li Yunlong will definitely not do it.

If the head of the headquarters had asked Li Yunlong to be the commander of the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army that day, Li Yunlong would definitely not have done it.

is just the principal of an aviation school, and he is also a part-time job, so Li Yunlong had to agree.

Li Yunlong doesn't have to worry about the rest, he only needs to be in charge of the aircraft, technology, instructors, fuel, aerial bombs and other things needed by the aviation school.

As for the preparation and management of the aviation school, the headquarters will report to the YA, and another smart and capable vice principal will be selected to manage it.

Li Yunlong looked at the few people around him: "How many of you, are you interested in managing the navy?" ”

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Boss Chen provides technical training for naval cadets, including military theory for commanding naval operations, as well as training for naval officers.

Maybe.

Those who participate in the training of officers will have the opportunity to become the commander of the Navy of the Eighth Route Army in the future, and become a big man at the level of a marshal.

"Not interested."

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and Zhang Dabiao shook their heads one after another.

"Okay!"

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Yunlong can't force them, anyway, he has no interest in the navy:

"Wait for Boss Chen to send someone to send books on naval military theory, arrange for transport planes to be sent to the headquarters, and when we finish the warship business, the headquarters will select cadres to participate in naval officer training at Boss Chen's overseas military base."

Previously, Li Yunlong studied military theory books such as "Air Supremacy", "Introduction to the Art of War", and "Grand Strategy".

The last time Li Yunlong went to the headquarters, he brought a reprinted version to the headquarters leaders.

Before and after, Li Yunlong had already handed over dozens of military theory books to the headquarters.

The theories and ideological flight of these military theory books are so advanced that not to mention the Whampoa Military Academy, not even some of the famous military academies of the Watermelon National Army.

Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, how long has it been since we sent a telegram in clear code?" ”

"Report to the head of the group." Wang Dehou's tone was puzzled, "Didn't you just send it a few days ago?" Having killed Sadachi Yoshimoto and killed the North China Front Aviation Unit, we sent a clear code telegram. ”

Li Yunlong nodded: "How many devil generals have we killed so far?" ”

"Twenty-two!"

This time, Wang Dehou answered crisply:

"In the last battle, we killed 4 devil lieutenant generals, and in the last battle, we killed 1 lieutenant general and 1 major general, adding up to the devil generals we killed, a total of 22."

Li Yunlong suddenly scolded: "It's really fucking boring, we have all killed 22 devil generals, and the devils still don't come to attack the northwest of Jin, chief of staff, send another clear code telegram, put the names of all 22 devil generals on it, and stimulate the devils." ”

Wang Dehou smiled slightly: "Yes!" ”

Subsequently, Wang Dehou drafted a telegram, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had no problem after reading it, so they asked the telegraph operator to send it immediately.

……

Tokyo.

Inside the Prime Minister's Office.

Hideki Tojo is holding a staff meeting.

Today's Tojo Hideji is also the minister of land and the interior, and later he also serves as the minister of culture, culture, commerce, industry, and munitions, and has all kinds of powers.

It is the national policy of the empire to frantically clamore for "completing the China Incident and establishing the 'Greater and East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere'", and it is necessary to "march forward for the completion of the holy cause under the authority of the emperor and the whole country."

Since he came to power, the Japanese Navy has gained superiority in the Pacific theater and the Army has made significant gains in Southeast Asia.

Changes in the situation within Japan, a country that had been exhausted by the war in 1942, also brought Hideki Tojo to the brink of political bankruptcy.

However, the Japanese army made a fortune in Southeast Asia, which eased the country's financial situation, and Tojo's position was once again secured.

Although the U.S. imperialists did not return to the negotiating table as Tojo Superior had expected.

But in the Pacific theater, the Japanese Navy had some advantages.

The Southern Army has also won a big victory in Southeast Asia, and the future is promising.

At this time, Tojo Hideji and his staff are talking about the glorious future of the empire: conquering China and Southeast Asia, defeating American imperialism, and becoming the world's superpower.

Then, a staff officer hurriedly rushed into the prime minister's office with a clear telegram in his hand.

reported to Tojo Hideji the news that the 22 generals of the Locust Army had been killed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong..."

After reading the telegram, Eiji Tojo's tone was unusually calm:

"How long will it take for the North China Front, Senior General Okamura Ninji to eliminate the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's not clear..."

The staff officer replied tremblingly:

"At present, the reinforcements of the five divisions have arrived in North China, and 20,000 tons of combat materials have arrived at the port of Tianjin, and it is not yet known when the North China Front will launch an operation against the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Although Tojo Hideji behaved calmly, Li Yunlong's telegram slapped the entire Japanese face fiercely, and the current prime minister was only calm on the surface, and his heart was already full of anger.

This time, Li Yunlong did not say that he wanted to cut off Okamura Ningji's head, but directly called Itachi Tojo Hideji.

The attitude is extremely arrogant.

"Order Okamura Ninji to eliminate the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong within a month."

"Otherwise, his position as the commander of the North China Front Army will be handed over to someone else to sit on."

Hideji Tojo, who was wearing round-framed glasses, narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

Last time, Li Yunlong, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, sent a clear telegram to kill 16 Japanese generals, and the locusts were furious on the spot when they learned about it.

It didn't take long for the list of killed officers of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army to add six more generals.

What made Tojo Hideji even more angry was that among the six generals added, five of them were lieutenant generals with real power, and two of them were even commanders of group armies.

It's a shame.

The face of the Japanese Empire was lost by the North China Front!

"Hey!"

As if on the verge of amnesty, the staff officer suddenly bowed his head and turned to leave.

After the staff officer left, there was silence in the Prime Minister's office.

Battles were being won everywhere, but the North China Front was suffering, and Okamura Ninji fought a defeat that did not match his strength this year.

"Yaga!"

Tojo Hideji suddenly erupted and suddenly lifted the table in front of him, scattering the flasks and glasses on the table on the spot.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.

Okamura Ninji summoned Tanabe Moritake, Seizo Arisue and the operational staff officers to do a war game.

"Your Excellency the Commander is worried..."

Moritake Tanabe analyzed:

"Our North China Front Army will gather a part of the main force to sweep and attack the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Taiyuan?"

Okamura Ninji frowned and nodded, with a deep exhaustion between his eyebrows: "That's right! ”

These days, Okamura meditates, but still can't think of any good way to break the game.

The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and the North China Front Army had no chance of winning.

However, to fight the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will most likely gather the main force to attack Taiyuan.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I insist on suggesting that either the main force be assembled in Shanxi to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army."

Tanabe Moritake says:

"Either abandon Shanxi, withdraw all the troops of Shanxi to Hebei Province, and seek fighters to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army."

Okamura Ninji shook his head, if he ordered the Japanese army to abandon Shanxi, the base camp would not spare him.

The reason is very simple, the base camp allocated so many combat materials and troops to the North China Front Army, so that he could eliminate Li Yunlong in the northwest of Shanxi.

But not only did he not attack Li Yunlong in the northwest of Jin, but he also lost such a large territory.

When the time comes, the locusts will be very angry, and the consequences will be serious.

Moreover, once the Eighth Route Army gains Shanxi, the development speed of the army will definitely grow rapidly like mushrooms, and if the Eighth Route Army is given a year, it will definitely have hundreds of thousands of more troops.

Plus the mysterious aid channel of the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, even if the North China Front, the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army were tied together, they might not be the opponents of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, Haruo Kitani, a communications staff officer, walked in quickly with the telegram from the base camp in his hand.

"Report to the Commander."

Osamu Kitani bowed his head and reported:

"Prime Minister's urgent telegram!"

Okamura Ninji frowned slightly, took the telegram from Osamu Kitani's hand and read it.

Soon, Okamura Ninji finished reading the telegram, and his eyes were puzzled.

In this telegram, Tojo Hideki said that he should lead the North China Front to immediately attack the northwest of Jin Province and eliminate the Eighth Route New Regiment and Li Yunlong within a month, otherwise he would be removed from his post in the North China Front.

In the future, he will be the commander of the North China Front.

In the past, Tojo Hideji often sent telegrams urging him to attack the northwest of Jin as soon as possible, but his tone had never been so serious as this time.

He looked at Mu Gu Zhinan with puzzled eyes, Mu Gu Zhinan hurriedly lowered his head and handed over a telegram, and said: "Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army has sent another clear telegram with a list of locust army generals killed, and a total of 22 locust army generals have broken jade in Li Yunlong's hands. ”

Okamura Ninji took the telegram and looked at it, with a sudden look on his face.

The number of locust generals killed by Li Yunlong's troops was well known to both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, but Li Yunlong invented the code telegram to ridicule and provoke first, no wonder the prime minister would be furious.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Okamura's mouth.

"Another big man will be the commander of the North China Front?"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are thinking too much."

"If you want to remove me from my post in Okamura, the general who will also come to replace me can only get to Beiping!"

After reading the telegram, Okamura Ninji thought to himself, this time the prime minister's appointment to Okamura is restrained.
