PS: I fell asleep last night, I'm sorry......

……………………………………………………………………

Eighteenth Army, Confidential Conference Room.

"Mr. Hong, we can play at any time in eleven episodes!"

As soon as he heard that there was something to do, Yang Ning immediately jumped up.

Yang Ning's 11th Army was enough to destroy it three times, but now there are three group armies, and if they don't rob it, they won't even have enough soup. Lao Tzu still wants to be promoted to general! At this time, if you don't rob it, you will be a bastard! You can't be polite!

Li Zongren immediately quit: "Commander Yang, you should guard the bay in the eleventh episode, our eighteenth episode is on the edge of Ethiopia, of course, it is most convenient to use us!"

Yang Ning glared angrily, and Li Zongren glared back not to be outdone. The two immediately pinched up like fighting cocks. In fact, the two of them are still relatives, Li Zongren's wife Pu Runing is the daughter of Yang Ning's aunt, but Lao Li has no intention of giving face to his eldest brother now. Don't say it's the eldest brother, even the own brother can't let it!

The two of them fought with red faces, but Lieutenant General Liu Yiqiang, commander of the Eighth Group Army, had a calm and breezy expression. Commander Liu's bookish face, coupled with the pair of gold-wire glasses, looks gentle and elegant, if he does not wear a military uniform and walk on the street, no one will think that he is a general, most of them will think that he is a high-level intellectual. Well, this statement can't be wrong, because he does have the title of senior professor, he is a professor at Southwest Military University, the Central Army University, and the National University of Defense Technology, and he also served as the president of the National University of Defense Technology for one term......

Commander Liu has always emphasized the regularization of the army's education and regularized tactics, paid special attention to science, and advocated building the army through science and technology. Therefore, Mr. Wen praised him many times in public as "the number one Confucian in our army".

However, although this Lieutenant General Liu is LVMAX in terms of command ability and strategic ability, he has a weakness that his temper is too good, and it didn't matter if he was the principal before, but if he is on the front line, this character is not easy to calm down. So Mr. Wen painstakingly arranged a partner for him - Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong, political commissar and deputy commander. Lao Zhang's temper is different, he has always had the nickname of "Zhang Papi" in the army, and he often people who don't want to be below, and few people are not afraid of him. So some people joke that judging from the personalities of these two, their positions should be replaced, but the relationship between the two parties is very good, and there is no intention of changing them at all.

"Lao Liu, this matter must be fought! We are not here to watch the drama after eight episodes of Annan......" Now seeing that Lao Liu is not in a hurry at all, Lao Zhang is in a hurry, and he hurriedly said: "If you don't say it well, I'll be a white face, anyway, I'm not afraid of offending people!"

As soon as Zhang Zizhong stood up to speak, Hong Shilou turned his head and asked Liu Yiqiang: "Yiqiang, your Eighth Army has just come from Annan, are you still used to it?" Originally, there were only two group armies in the Western Indian Ocean Military Region, and the Eighth Army was transferred from the Annan Military Region after the outbreak of World War II last year.

"Mr. Hong, the eight episodes are in good condition, and they ......are on call at any time," Liu Yiqiang replied softly.

"That's good......" Hong Shilou said to the quarrelsome guy again, "You two don't quarrel." There are arrangements in the central government for this operation, and your three group armies have tasks to be arranged......"

"Oh......" Yang Ning and Li Zongren immediately sat back.

At this time, Bai Chongxi stood up and asked: "Mr. Hong, it's just one Ethiopia, and you don't need to use three group armies, right?" Although it is said that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, but this also looks like them, right? In fact, there is no need to work hard for the comrades of the eighth and eleventh episodes, our eighteen episodes are enough, so that it can also save some money for the country, isn't it ......?"

This is said in a high-sounding manner, and he was overjoyed when he heard the eighteen episodes, and shouted in his heart that the chief of staff was smart. Li Zongren smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and gave Lao Bai a thumbs up under the table.

The generals of the other two armies turned green when they heard this. You paralyzed eighteen episodes actually want to eat alone!? It's so despicable! It's so shameless! Is this still human?

"Lao Bai, what you said is not right!" Zhang Zizhong jumped up all of a sudden, and was about to refute the hateful Lao Bai.

"Hahaha......" Hong Shilou smiled, and he said to Zhang Zhijie, the chief of staff of the military region beside him: "Zhijie, you can tell me ......."

Zhang Zhijie was an old-time revolutionary in the original time and space, he joined the Tong Meng Association very early, participated in many anti-Qing uprisings, and then crossed the two dynasties, and was a senior officer on both sides, and he was very popular and prestigious. But on this plane, he is a hardcore descendant of Mr. Wen, and before the Great Revolution, he was a backbone member of the Guangdong "Materialist China" reading club, and developed a lot of fans of Mr. Wen in the Guangdong New Army and various schools. When the People's Liberation Army attacked Guangdong, he used his identity as a local to contact Chen Eun, prompting the other party to lead the new army to revolt. After the liberation of Guangdong, he was escorted to study at the military academy. After that, he participated in all the foreign wars of New China without pulling it, so he was also an old revolutionary in this plane.

"Yes......" Lieutenant General Zhang Zhijie agreed, then took out a document and said to everyone: "Comrades, our opponent this time is not only the Ethiopian government army. Among them are East Africa, as well as the Entente African Army led by Egypt......"

When everyone heard this, they all had an expression of sudden realization. No wonder three army groups were dispatched, and it turned out to be three copies.

"Ethiopia is now politically turbulent, and their pro-Confederate and pro-Entente factions are ready to bring in foreign aid, so Egypt and East Africa are ready to do it. Our task is to get ahead of them, to bring the situation under control in Ethiopia and to help the comrades of the Ethiopian Workers' Party to take power in that country. Of course, Egypt and East Africa will certainly not give up easily, so we have to beat them to the point of admitting reality......"

Zhang Zhijie paused, and said with a smile: "Comrades, the strength of the East African army is relatively strong, and among African countries, they can be regarded as the first. The combat effectiveness of the armies of Egypt and the British African colonies could only be said to be very average before, but now they have the French Foreign Legion on their side to join, and the British have also sent a local division as the backbone, so their combat effectiveness is still good, so don't take it lightly...... Now, I'll send you the basic information on these aspects, and if you don't understand, ask ......," and after that, he asked the secretary to send a stack of documents.

While everyone was reading the information, Hong Shilou turned to the navy and said with a smile: "Commander Li, how prepared is your navy......

The meeting was attended not only by representatives of the army, but also by representatives of the air force and navy, as well as several local officials in government uniforms. It's just that this operation is mainly based on the army, so the people of the Air Force and Navy didn't squeak, and they just watched the excitement from the side.

Li Ang laughed: "Hahaha, Commander Hong, let's say so." This time there is actually nothing wrong with our navy, the navies of Ethiopia and Egypt are negligible, and the ones in East Africa are slightly better, but they are also extremely limited. If we were to talk about our main tasks this time, I would probably think that the focus would be on coastal blockade and ground support, as well as hiding from East African submarines. As for the actual naval battle, I really don't have much hope for them......"

Commander Li felt that he was carrying a soy sauce bottle this time to make soy sauce. Forget about the navies of those three African countries, they are not even qualified to be included in the imaginary enemy. This time, the "Side Mission" dungeon is mainly for the Army, and the Air Force can also make some money. Forget it about the navy, at most it is to lick some leftover soup on the plate.

For this interference, Li Ang didn't take it seriously at all, it was not that he underestimated the enemy, but mainly because the other party was too weak. The tonnage of a capital ship on Leon's side is almost equivalent to the tonnage of the three navies combined. With such a huge disparity in strength, and Mao's head, of course he can't take it seriously.

What? You said that Hainan Airlines can get on. Yes, Hainan Airlines can get on board, but can the air force and army animals agree to let you take a share of the cake?

Suddenly, as soon as Li Ang's mind opened his mind, he said with a strange expression: "Commander Hong, the enemies this time also include Egypt and Britain, right?"

"It doesn't have to be our enemy. According to intelligence, British and Egyptian troops may well have entered Ethiopia at the invitation of the pro-Entente faction. It's fine if they don't come, but if they do, they're our enemies. ”

Leon nodded and continued to ask: "If Britain and Egypt fight with us, then Egypt itself should also be within our strike range, right?"

"Yes, except for controlling the scope of attack within Africa, the central government has no other restrictions on this, once it enters a state of war, Egypt itself is naturally a legitimate target for attack......" Hong Shilou saw Li Ang's expression, and he had already vaguely guessed a few points. However, what does this have to do with him? Not to mention that the army can't control the navy, even if it's one, they are all of the same level, and Li Ang's seniority is still older than him.

"Hahaha, then, when the time comes, the Suez Canal and its vicinity will be covered by our navy. I have four Marine brigades under my command, and it is estimated that two will be enough to control the Canal Zone. Leon smirked. The Navy is not only a naval force and an aviation unit, but also a Marine Corps.

As soon as Li Ang's words came out, the whole room suddenly fell silent. Good guys, take the Suez Canal directly. Those generals of the army were all thinking that they had heard that this Commander Li could toss for a long time, and when they saw it today, they really lived up to their reputation. There are also some guys who are remorseful in their hearts, and they are struggling, this should be the work of our army, but they are thought of by the laymen of the navy.

Liu Yiqiang clapped his hands and applauded: "The strategic location of the Suez Canal is very important, and if it can be controlled in our hands, it will be of great help to our future strategy." ”

Zhang Zizhong immediately said: "Commander Li, the Suez Canal is heavily guarded, and it may not be enough to rely on the comrades of the Marine Corps alone. Otherwise, we will send a division to help in the eighth episode?"

Major General Xue Yue, chief of staff of the Eleventh Group Army, smiled: "Our 166th Division of the Eleventh Episode is now conducting joint training with the Arab army in the Jordan area, and it is very convenient to go to Suez, just lift your legs." It is also more convenient for us to help our comrades in the navy......"

"There's an Israel in the middle, you flew over?" Zhang Zizhong rolled his eyes.

"By way, I'm sure the kind Israelis will agree to this little request......" Xue Yue smiled kindly. If the guy dares to disagree, then even Jerusalem will borrow it.

Your sister, are all the people in the army reincarnated as wolves? Lao Tzu didn't seem to say that he wanted someone to help, right? Li Ang was cramping in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing that the army was struggling, the air force was also anxious. General Jin Haihai, commander of the Air Force's West Indian Ocean Military Region, hurriedly said: "Lao Li, their army must be slow, I will send the 15th Airborne Brigade to help you." ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became hot, and a Suez Canal whetted everyone's appetite. If the Suez Canal can be captured, this credit will be great, at least equivalent to the elimination of 100,000 enemy troops. And those three little fart countries are not easy to gather 100,000 people to destroy themselves.

"Ahem, Commander Li, your plan is really good, but you have to report it to the Central Committee. After all, although the Suez Canal is in Egypt, it is controlled by the British...... "Although Li Ang's suggestion is more brainy, Hong Shilou is also a little moved. The British are now about to be beaten to tears by Erdezi, do they still dare to turn their faces against China? If they don't control the opium cows when they are unlucky, will they still wait for them to recover their breath?

Although he is also itchy, he still wants to ask Mr. Wen for advice.

It's nothing to rob Ethiopia with the British, it's still nominally an independent country, but Suez is different, it's a recognized British territory. Besides, Suez is the lifeblood of the British, and if it moves, it will definitely seriously deteriorate the relations between the two countries. In the history of the original time and space, it was the United States and the Soviet Union that wielded nuclear sticks together to threaten and let Britain go.

Although now they are in decline, they are also one of the top powers. Although Hong Shilou didn't think he could beat it, he was worried that it would disrupt the strategic layout of the central government. The army of New China is not the old Japanese army, as long as he sees the benefits, he will go alone as soon as his mind is hot, and he cannot decide on such a matter that has a bearing on the overall strategic situation.

………………………………………………………………

Two hours later, the meeting ended. As soon as Li Ang stepped out of the office building, a group of huge and friendless man-made creations flew into the sky, the "Kunpeng" super giant airship.

These super-giant hybrid airships, or hot air planes, look completely different from traditional cigar-shaped airships, looking like a round cartoon plane or a fat whale. This new aircraft, which entered service only at the end of last year, has an eye-popping cargo capacity, can transport up to 600 tons of cargo at a time, has a maximum speed of 250 km / h, and a maximum flight range of 15,000 km!

With the emergence of new lightweight materials such as magnesium sodium foam alloy and aluminum iron foam alloy, the aviation industry is the most deeply felt, and now more than 70% of the monthly output of these materials is given to the aviation industry for the construction of aircraft. Not only airplanes, but also airships, of course. Because of the use of a large number of lightweight hull materials, and high-strength airbag materials (airbags can be made lighter and thinner), the weight of the aircraft is greatly reduced. Therefore, although the "Kunpeng" is not much larger than the previous "Xiangjing II", the load capacity has been doubled.

A full ten "Kunpeng" super giant airships flew slowly towards the nearby military airfield, surrounded by two squadrons of air force fighters escorting them. Although these planes are newly commissioned J-12 "Warhawk" twin-engine heavy fighters, they look like birds and elephants together compared to the big guys.

"Lao Jin, your air force is really bold enough to send all the Kunpeng over......" Li Ang patted Jin Hai on the shoulder and asked: "Good guy, there are ten ships, your President Meng is really generous, this is the Kunpeng sent by the whole country." "The Kunpeng is a very, very expensive toy, and now there are only ten of them built, and four more are under construction, mainly for strategic transportation missions.

Jin Hai shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't control this thing, they are strategic air force units, and they are under the direct jurisdiction of our Deputy Commander Lin...... "Deputy Commander Lin" He said "Deputy Commander Lin" Of course, Lin Shenhe, Commander-in-Chief Meng Shu is the commander of air power, and his deputy Lin Shenhe is the deputy commander.

"What are they doing here?" asked Leon curiously.

"It seems to be transporting things...... Jin Hai thought for a while, and asked Major General Huang Gongluo, commander of the 19th Air Division next to him, "Xiao Huang, what are they transporting? The escort fighters belong to your division......

Huang Gongluo replied: "Yes, Mr. Jin, it is our division that is responsible for the escort mission. It is said that he came to transport heavy equipment such as combat vehicles for the army...... "Hey, that's right, this person transferred to the Air Force, graduated from Sichuan Aeronautical Institute in 1918, is a student and old subordinate of Jinhai, and became an air combat ace in World War I, and has 26 achievements in the account.

"How many chariots can this thing carry at one time?" Although Commander Li is a BB party, he has a strong interest in everything that is huge. He is now pondering to see if he can fight for the Navy as well. This kind of large toy is so attractive, he regrets it now, when he was in charge of the Naval Equipment Bureau, he didn't expect to engage in this kind of super giant airship.

"The maximum payload is 600 tons. If you want to transport chariots, the latest giant panda can transport thirteen vehicles. Or transport an armored company, ten giant pandas, plus all the supporting vehicle equipment and ammunition supplies. Huang Gongluo said proudly: "Ten Kunpeng ships can transport an armored regiment at a time! This is the largest flying machine on the earth, and no other power can make it except for China!"

"It seems that this time the central government is preparing to do a big job in Africa, or it will not send out all this kind ......of thing," Li Ang sighed, but unfortunately those opponents' navies are all war scum, and the navy has nothing to do, so it can basically only fight soy sauce.

Of course, there is still a fleet of the British Navy in the Mediterranean, but at this time, they may not be able to spare their hands, and the navies of Italy and Germany in the Mediterranean are not weak. If Niu Niu really dared to ignore the chrysanthemum and run to the Indian Ocean to find trouble, Li Ang was also confident that he would send them to become a deep-sea fleet.
