Chapter 312: Imagine(1/3)
Imagine it.
If China is the only overlord in the world, China can manufacture the world's most advanced products, especially the military industry. Zhongyuan is the best hard currency in the world. China has the largest financial consortium in the world and the best in the world.
The most numerous universities have the best national education in the world, the largest high-quality population in the world, the largest territory and the richest land resources in the world.
So, what will happen to the world?
What should China do?
What does China want to do?
This is a very important question.
The most important thing is not how to achieve China's goal of becoming the world hegemon, but how to maintain this position for a long time.
...
The empire has been closely following the progress of the Soviet-German war.
This is destined to be a German war. Even if Germany adopts the risky strategy of splitting troops and attacking in two groups, the Soviet Red Army is still unable to effectively resist the German steel torrent offensive. It is worth noting that the main tanks of both sides are almost completely consistent, especially in China
In terms of design, the heavy No. 4 tank and the T34 both sides have made extensive reference to the technical information of the mbt30 tank provided by the Chinese Army.
In order to completely overwhelm the opponent's tank, Germany is developing a new tank based on the No. 4 tank, and has absorbed the Chinese Army's concept of main battle tanks, trying to construct the combat parameters and maneuverability of medium tanks based on the protection of heavy tanks,
It is expected to defeat all the opponent's models with a main tank. In fact, the work carried out by Germany is to make up for some key designs of the mbt30 tank that China has failed to provide, especially the V-type diesel engine used by the mbt30 tank.
The Soviet Union, at a disadvantage in war, received secret assistance from the Imperial Central Military Intelligence Department and obtained more detailed information on the mbt30 tank, thereby making new improvements to the t34 tank.
Similarly, the Empire is also speeding up the development of the mbt40 tank and has increased the mass production scale of the mbt33 tank improved model mbt35 main battle tank. According to the existing plan, the mbt35 main battle tank will be more likely to be an empire.
In the next three years, the mbt40 tank will not be officially put into service at least around 1942.
The Central Military Department of the Empire was indeed planning a final plan for a decisive battle with Nazi Germany. According to this concept and demand, the Empire needed to ensure that it had more than 14,000 mbt35 tanks after the end of the Soviet-German War, that is, in the second half of 1941.
This huge plan allowed the Empire to take advantage of the Sino-Japanese War to rapidly expand the number of tanks in the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Air Force's j-6\6b jet fighter jets are also accelerating production. According to the best plan of the Central Military Department, in the same way as Germany
Before declaring war, the Imperial Air Force will install at least 4,000 J-6 series fighter jets, plus J-4\5 and other series of fighter jets and other combat aircraft. The Imperial Air Force will ensure that it has more than 25,000 aircraft before the war.
The Imperial Navy also has a special plan. To this end, the Imperial is accelerating its pace to seek suitable naval bases in Brazil and West Africa. The Imperial has signed a secret military cooperation plan with Belgium to establish an Atlantic naval base in Congo. Once China and Germany declare war,
The Imperial Navy will directly intervene in the Atlantic Ocean as needed and implement a large-scale blockade against the German Navy.
In this Sino-German war with a probability of breaking out of more than 70%, the Imperial Navy was not able to play a great role. The Empire will mainly intervene in the Balkans from the Middle East through the Eurasian continent, and directly intervene in the German-Polish alliance from Russia.
The method is to advance rapidly through integrated air-ground warfare.
Once the war begins, the Central Defence Force of the Imperial Empire will not slowly erode as slowly as it is against Japan. The Imperial Empire will only advance more rapidly than Germany's super blitz.
The empire does not need to prove its military strength by defeating Germany. The empire only wants to curb the expansion of Nazi Germany, and the empire will never allow a new Germany in Europe that can challenge the territory and strength of the empire.
As long as Nazi Germany attempted to create a new empire comparable to the Chinese Empire through war and conquest, the Sino-German war would never be avoided.
Therefore, the Empire was very concerned about the ongoing Soviet-German war.
The Central Military Intelligence Department provided a large amount of military intelligence and some important technical assistance, even material assistance, to the Soviet Union. In exchange, the Central Military Intelligence Department sent a large number of military intelligence officers to the Soviet battlefield to closely collect everything related to Nazi Germany.
Military intelligence, fully prepared for a new war that may break out.
For this purpose, the Ministry of Military Intelligence specially set up the Third Department of Military Intelligence, which is specifically responsible for collecting military intelligence from Nazi Germany and trying every possible means to decipher the code of German telegrams.
Regarding the mass massacre of Nazi Germany and the crazy nuclear weapons development plan, the Ministry of Military Intelligence has been reliable verified. After confirming Germany's nuclear weapons plan, the empire has another reason to have to launch a war against Germany.
—Absolutely prohibit Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union from possessing nuclear weapons.
After returning to Beijing, Song Biao would spend half an hour alone every day listening to the latest intelligence statistics of the Ministry of Military Intelligence on the Soviet-German War and Nazi Germany.
In the past few days, the Military Intelligence Department is considering a special action plan.
In order to prevent Nazi Germany from obtaining heavy water from Norway, the Ministry of Military Intelligence plans to join forces with Soviet spies to secretly destroy Norway's hydropower stations and heavy water refining plants.
Norway's counter-espionage work in the Soviet Union was very strict, which means it would be difficult to achieve its goals by relying on Soviet operations.
As the Minister of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhang Jun conducted a series of in-depth investigations, and in the end, his conclusion was that the Military Intelligence Department had to do it itself.
At the report meeting that afternoon, Zhang Jun submitted the action plan formulated by the Military Intelligence Department to the emperor and made his own analysis of both action plans.
Song Biao was not in a hurry to answer, asking Zhang Jun to keep both plans and give him some time to weigh the trade-offs.
After Zhang Jun left, Song Biao put on his reading glasses and carefully studied both plans again. He was still unsure whether to take action or simply support the Soviet Union's actions. This is a difficult thing in itself
The question of choice.
There were few spies in Norway and they could not obtain enough numbers of **. They could not find suitable opportunities for action.
One of the bigger concerns of the Soviet Union is that once Norway is discovered, it will anger Norway, causing Norway to declare war on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union cannot take this risk. Similarly, if the imperial action fails, Sino-German relations will also break down early.
After studying the two action plans submitted by the Military Intelligence Department again, Song Biao decided to reject these two plans. But he still lacked appropriate countermeasures for what to do.
In any case, the Military Intelligence Department has warned the Norwegian government through special channels and has been funded by the Far East Consortium to try to acquire the largest hydropower plant in Nordic and its affiliated heavy water refinery.
If rejected, the empire would have to blow up the heavy water refinery, whether it was for Soviet agents or British agents to take action, even if the Military Intelligence Department took action directly, it would be a waste of time.
There is enough intelligence to prove that the Germans have not yet discovered a more suitable process for chemically refining heavy water, but they are already conducting relevant theoretical research and experiments. If Germany finds a suitable method like the empire, it would be a disaster.
The Ministry of Military Intelligence suspected that a German doctor who once served as a professor of chemistry at the Central Polytechnic University. Before returning to China, he may have obtained some relevant information from the Central Polytechnic University and is currently conducting a secret investigation. Once the matter is confirmed, the Ministry of Military Intelligence will start to arrange the secret.
assassination.
The Empire is absolutely impossible for Nazi Germany to complete the development of nuclear weapons, which is the bottom line of the Empire. In fact, the Empire does not want the United States to complete this plan. The Ministry of Military Intelligence is secretly monitoring the United States, and if necessary, the Empire will also be
The United States takes action.
If the United States has nuclear weapons, Song Biao hopes that the United States will not achieve this goal until 1945, and the Empire will do whatever it takes to ensure that the Empire's nuclear deterrence has an advantage far exceeding the United States.
Shortly after Zhang Jun left, Jiang Fangzhen, the chief of staff of the Central Military Department, also entered the General Office of the Central Palace with the latest information about the Sino-Japanese War. When he saw him walking in, Song Biao put down his glasses and signaled to accompany him by his side.
The first-class eunuch Jiang Shoulin replaced the tea and brewed a pot of green tea again.
In the middle of the Phoenix Map, which is specially marked on the carpet, Jiang Fangzhen stopped and bowed to pay tribute, saying, "Your Majesty, the Northeast Defense Forces have captured Busan."
Song Biao nodded slightly.
He had already known the war report from the Central Secret Service at the first time.
After giving the seat, Jiang Fangzhen sat in front of the emperor's imperial table, opened the briefcase in his hand, took out the latest military summary from it and submitted it to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, is it true that Lieutenant General Wei Lihuang's order to return to the country?
Need new discussions?”
Song Biao put on his glasses again to browse the latest military information summary of the Central Military Department. While looking at it, he rejected Jiang Fangzhen's proposal and said: "He can be allowed to return to China and be transferred to the Northwest Defense Staff Bureau as Chief of Staff, and ask him to cooperate with Zhao Tingzhu for the follow-up
Let's prepare for it!"
Jiang Fangzhen nodded slightly and asked, "Will you still transfer General Cai E back to the military headquarters?"
Song Biao thought carefully for a moment, put the summary of the military situation first, and replied to Jiang Fangzhen: "I think this time period is quite appropriate. During the inspection of the Korean battlefield, I discussed this issue with Cai E. His principles
The emperor did not refuse to return to the Central Military Department to serve, and the successor he proposed was the same as what we considered. It was time to transfer Chen Wu as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Defense Forces. The battles that followed were not difficult to fight.
Actually, I thought it might become more cruel and bloody. This is what we recognize. It is the most appropriate to change Chen Baozi to the scene at this time. What Cai E left him is not a mess. Chen Baozi and Liu Gengyun are even more
He is an old partner for decades."
Jiang Fangzhen agreed: "The emperor is far-reaching. He had already planned it early and wanted Chen Wu to serve as the commander-in-chief."
Song Biao did not deny it, saying: "As long as Chen Wu does not underestimate the enemy, he is still in charge of fighting Japan. He is an expert in mountain combat, especially in large-scale mountain combat such as Japan. He said in the Central Military Department that he was a mountain.
The second place in the battle, I'm afraid no one dares to say first."
Jiang Fangzhen continued to agree: "The emperor is wise."
Song Biao said: "I know you are worried that Cai E is uncomfortable. After all, I have survived the hardest time, but finally I have given up the palace to others. I think Cai E doesn't have this idea, he is. We
I still know very well, not such a stingy person.”
Jiang Fangzhen said: "Cai E is definitely not such a stingy person. But as an army general, he had just made great contributions and was transferred back to the country but had to serve as the commander of the Central Military Region. Even if Cai E didn't say anything, others might have it.
Criticize.”
Song Biao nodded and said, "Let him serve as the chief of the Strategic Force Command and also as the commander of the Central Military Region."
Jiang Fangzhen nodded in agreement.
Song Biao sighed and said, "In fact, the commander's position of the Central Military Region is important. When we arrive at the capital, the responsibility is higher than Mount Tai."
Jiang Fangzhen didn't answer anything.
In the position of commander of the Central Military Region, Emperor Song basically used only five people in the past few decades, including Zhao Tingzhu, Zhang Xiaohuai, Zhang Yahu, Han Chunlin, Jiang Zuobin and Zhao Tingzhu, three times.
Song Biao transferred Cai E back to China this time, mainly to give up his position to Chen Wu. He also hoped that Chen Wu would fight a fierce battle and a beautiful battle under the premise that all conditions were met.
After all, Cai E's return to China to serve as the commander of the Central Military Region was a temporary arrangement. After the war, if Fu Zuoyi had the opportunity to make meritorious service, he could still hold this position. If Fu Zuoyi was not good, there were many other people who could hold this position on the same position.
Huang Baitao and Xue Yue are both better candidates.
Song Biao was not worried that the weight of the commander of the Central Military Region was different in the war stage and the peace stage after the war. At that time, there were many options, unlike now, who could only be among the most reliable senior generals.
Choose one of them to prevent it from happening.
In order to deal with the Sino-Japanese War and the possible Sino-German War, the elite troops of the Central Military Region have been roughly dispatched, and the newly transferred troops into the Central Military Region are not absolutely reliable. Although the possibility of mutinies and military coups is still very low
, but at least it is not as absolutely reliable as before, so it still needs senior army generals like Cai E and Zhang Xiaohuai to take charge.
That's how the army is.
