As a powerful country in war, the empire had neither the founding ten marshals nor the top ten generals. The older generation had basically retired from active service. There were 112 lieutenant generals at the Imperial Army, and 43 were from the Far East Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

This is the metabolism of the empire. The new era has already belonged to the new generation of young and middle-aged officers of the empire. This is Fu Zuoyi, Wei Lihuang, Pan Zhaoqin, Huang Baitao, Bai Chongxi, Xue Yue, Liu Zhaoming, Liu Jinggui, Xu Xiangqian, Xu Wei, Chen Houfu, Chen Jiliang...

...In this generation of people, in the 24-person list of this National Defense Commission, the new generation accounted for 17.

As always, Jiang Fangzhen continued to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Central Military Department, Chen Qicai served as the Minister of National Defense, Zhang Yahu served as the Commander of the Central Zhili Military Region, Zhao Tingzhu served as the Commander of the Far East Military Region, Jiang Yanxing served as the Commander of the Siberian Military Region, Fu Liangzuo replaced Cai E as the Chief of Staff of the Army, and Zhang Hongkui served as the Central Military Affairs Office.

The dean of the college and Zhang Xiaohuai serves as the dean of the Far East Military Academy.

They are already the last symbols of the Northeast generation.

After all, he was afraid of the strength of the Japanese Navy. Fu Liangzuo and Pan Zhaoqin formulated a decisive battle plan in the north, hoping to advance forward on the Korean Peninsula through the army and the air force, and then bombard the Japanese mainland with the air force to end the war, rather than relying on the navy on the southern line.

The decisive battle on the battlefield.

Navy Chief of Staff Chen Houfu clearly opposes this plan. He believes that Japan is tenacious and tolerant. Even if it occupys southern North Korea, it will be difficult to force the Japanese army to surrender. Japan's biggest reliance is the navy. Only by eliminating the main force of the Japanese navy can Japan lose its power and make China lose its power.

The capital of the enemy would never allow the empire to obtain true long-term peace.

Fu Liangzuo and Chen Houfu had a fierce debate, and both of them were quarreling loudly.

They were all considered pillar-level generals of the Mesozoic era and performed outstandingly in the first battle, especially in the battle to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Army, Fu Liangzuo was the most dazzling front-line commander at that time. In comparison,

Because Fu Liangzuo, the general of the Army, belongs to the Northeast system, has longer qualifications and higher military achievements.

Shu Fangde, who was more experienced than them, didn't speak, and listened to the two of them quarreling endlessly.

When they all slammed the table and started a big fight, they wanted to tear the table down and fought. Shu Fangde suddenly said, "Be careful, this is the inner court, not your military headquarters, an army general, a lieutenant general,

If you want to fight, go back to your military headquarters.”

After hearing this reminder, Fu Liangzuo and Chen Houfu paused the argument with a strong breath, and sat down and stared at each other.

Yes, this is the Royal Court Central Palace.

Seeing the two of them quiet, Shu Fangdecai asked Chen Houfu as the head of the Nei Court, "If the navy is the main battle, how sure is your navy?"

Chen Houfu immediately said: "Although our battleships are at a disadvantage, they have advantages in aircraft carriers and submarines. Times are different. As long as we fully utilize our advantages and design tactics, we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese Navy."

Shu Fangde continued cautiously: "The final tactics must be reported to the emperor. Before reporting, we must be careful to determine the best choice. So, I want to know that if you are the navy as the main force, the navy's losses will be

How many are there?"

Chen Houfu said firmly: "Even if the navy is completely destroyed, we must fight. This is the fate of the country. The navy must not retreat. Even if we disperse all our belongings, we must fight. If we disperse all the property we possess, we must fight. If we disperse it, we will create another one.

Batch.”

Fu Liangzuo sarcastically said: "General Chen, what you said is simple. If you touch the navy, it doesn't matter if you remove it. The navy will be rebuilt for another ten years, and I don't know how much military expenditure will be required. Then we will be

Both the Air Force and the Army will suffer. Our Army is not afraid, and we can’t defeat all the people in the top tens of millions of people."

Neither Jiang Fangzhen nor Shu Fangde spoke.

They knew the emperor the most and knew very well that if the emperor was here, seven out of ten would use the navy to fight the main force, and they would do whatever they could to destroy all the warships.

Some people in the Central Military Department called Shu Fangde a "meaning who can accomplish great things". This evaluation is appropriate. Shu Fangde has no great ability, but he has done many important things and his talents and courage are average. It has a good overall view and is also known for its carefulness and caution.

After thinking carefully, Shu Fangde first asked Fu Liangzuo: "If you come to command this war, how will you fight to the decisive battle?"

Fu Liangzuo was confident and imposing, and replied with a domineering momentum: "The army swept across southern Korea, and then bombed Japan with the air force. The navy went north from the Ryukyu line to attack along the island, attracting the Japanese navy to the Ryukyu area, and using the air force to cooperate with the navy to annihilate it. The main force of the navy, who had to retract Japan from its own land, blocked its coastline, and continued bombing with the air force for a long time. Finally, it sent a million troops across the sea to attack and occupy Kyushu Island, using this as the boundary to divide China and Japan."

Shu Fangde asked Chen Houfu again: "Where are you?"

Chen Houfu replied: "Use the offensive of the Army and Air Force on the Korean Peninsula to attract the Japanese army, then use the main force of the navy to attack the Solong Military Port, eliminate Japan's naval base in the South Pacific, and then go north with the Ryukyu line to annihilate the main force of the Japanese navy. After that, two routes will be adopted. Attack, the north was dominated by the army and the south was dominated by the Marine Division, occupying Kyushu Island.”

Shu Fangde said: "Your main combat plan is basically the same. The only difference is whether it is the army or the air force. One side thinks that the army is superior, the strong is the best strategy, and the Japanese navy is the best. It is the elite and main force. Only by annihilating the Japanese Navy can Japan eliminate Japan's will to resist and achieve a comprehensive victory in strategy and battles."

Chen Houfu continued to add: "Japan has always regarded the navy as its elite. As long as the Japanese navy is eliminated, Japan can be completely defeated. Otherwise, Japan will be defeated and our country will also win but not win."

Fu Liangzuo still had to argue, but Jiang Fangzhen suddenly coughed softly.

Among these people, Jiang Fangzhen is the one with the most Confucian temperament. Many people say that he is more suitable to be the president of the Central Military Academy or the president of the National Defense University. He is known for his erudition and is proficient in four foreign languages: English, German, Japanese and Russian. He is familiar with all the works and military academic discussions, and is also a collector of rare ancient military books. Whether it is "Sun Tzu" or "Six Strategies" he memorizes it like a stream, and he knows it all.

It is such a person, a man who has never really commanded a large army to fight on the battlefield, has been sitting in the position of the emperor's deputy for a long time for nearly thirty years, and has sat in the position of Chief of Staff of the Central Military Department. Twelve years.

Most of the time, no matter how the three armies of the navy, the army, air and air within the military headquarters quarreled, he was always the most silent and silent person, always sitting there quietly watching everyone quarrel, and he was thinking about something in his heart. But few people really know it.

He suddenly coughed lightly, and everyone was slightly surprised.

After waiting for a while, everyone here looked at him silently. Jiang Fangzhen said slowly: "You may have all thought about the wrong key points. The key points are not to focus on the navy or the army. The key points should be Annihilate the main force of the Japanese army. If we decide to start a war, we must win. No matter who is the main force of the Japanese army, we can only win the war. The emperor said, "The first move is the best, and then the move is the worst." Since ancient times, Those who take the lead should take the lead and annihilate the main force of the enemy, so that the situation will be better. Whether it is to siege and annihilate it, or to defeat it in one go, or to attack it in a daze, or to siege and annihilate the reinforcements. All of these are just to annihilate the main force of the enemy. Therefore, I hope you don’t worry about who is the main and who is the second.”

Shu Fangde is also a person who is not confused about major issues, and immediately agreed: "Chief of General Staff Jiang, Gao Ming, I think you guys don't argue, the key is to annihilate its main force. We should think more about this issue and think more about it.

Please submit it to the emperor for approval after thinking about it."

At this moment, Jiang Fangzhen stopped talking. He was thinking about this question silently. In fact, he had been thinking about this question. His thinking time did not start in these few days, from a few years ago, or even a dozen or so

He had been thinking about these issues a few years ago.

How can we attract the Japanese Navy and annihilate it at a suitable place and at the right time? This is the place he considers the most.

When a scholar uses military force, he thinks more and says less.
