Chapter 526 How can such a simple thing. Shi Dakai smiled while looking at Hong Rengan, Tsarist Russia is not Japan
According to ordinary people's understanding, the "other things" that Yang Xiuqing wants to talk about next should be some relatively relaxed topics.
But that's not the case.
It has been nearly four years since the first shot was fired between the two major groups in 1865. Although the government and people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have not been involved in the war, the dark clouds of war have always been shrouded in their heads.
The devastated Korean Peninsula, the war-torn Indian subcontinent, and Afghanistan, which is already in jeopardy, all seriously affect the good wishes of peaceful development that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and people have always adhered to.
Without a peaceful and peaceful external environment, but insisting on keeping one's own life alone is undoubtedly an extremely childish fantasy. This simple truth has long become a consensus across the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Now, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and people have to accept the test of the cruel war between blood and fire for the sake of human justice and their own safety, the situation faced by Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, etc., the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are quite chaotic.
The "Garden Action" and "Warm Current Action" that are considered for their own obligations must be implemented. The issues involving the stable Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan around must also be investigated. The war on the Korean Peninsula, which is originally a family, cannot be ignored.
But if these problems are really taken care of at once, wouldn’t the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and people have to attack from all sides?
Multi-line combat has always been a taboo in military strategists, and the five giants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government are naturally aware of this. Therefore, the new response plan formulated by the National Defense and Military Commission in mid-last year is that once the war breaks out in full swing, in addition to immediately launching the battle for control of Malacca and the Indian Ocean and opening up the American battlefield, the Indian subcontinent, as a step in the battle for control of the Indian Ocean, will naturally become one of the key targets.
Regarding the issues on the Korean Peninsula and Afghanistan, the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom adopted a strategy of insisting on active assistance but not fully and openly intervening.
But now, the situation has changed a lot.
First, the Korean Peninsula, after the Japanese Navy's main force was basically annihilated, North Korea, which received strong help from all parties from the Celestial Government, has completely grasped all the initiative on the battlefield.
But whether it is to wipe out the Japanese invading troops or to continue to burn the war to the main island of Japan, further help from the Celestial Government is needed.
Compared with the favorable situation on the Korean Peninsula, Afghanistan seems to be full of crises.
In the face of a series of fierce offensives launched by the Russian army of Tsarist Russia, the Afghan army retreated step by step. By early March, several important western cities such as Herat had fallen. King Hill Ali Khan of Afghanistan had repeatedly requested the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to send troops directly to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for assistance.
Not only that, frightened by the barbaric invasion of Afghanistan by Tsarist Russia, the Shiva Khanate, which was adjacent to Tsarist Russia, and had just struggled out of the iron hoof of Tsarist Russia. A few years after its founding, the Republic of Kazakhstan was also restless. While stepping up preparations for war, he repeatedly asked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government to send troops to settle in quickly.
"If Brother Haifeng does not change the previous final solution to Japan, I think we might as well do this now for the North Korean issue."
Yang Xiuqing said as she got up and came to the wall where the map was hanging. Her eyes stayed on the map for a while before turning around to look at Shi Dakai, Lin Haifeng, Zheng Nan and Hong Renzhe.
"According to the current situation, relying solely on our Korean fleet, plus some of the forces of the North Sea and East China Sea fleets, will be enough to completely block the Korean Strait and the Whale Sea. Therefore, we should call Chen Tingxiang, Lu Shunde and Pan Qiliang to ensure that all the Japanese troops on the island will be solved by the end of June and restore all of North Korea. In this way, we can make full use of the expeditionary force led by Chen Yucheng before entering Africa to completely solve the Japanese problem and calm our east side. As for the Afghan issue..."
Yang Xiuqing said this and pondered for a while, "We have to fight in the south, and we have to fight in the east, and we can't calm down in the southwest. If we forcefully intervene in the direction of Afghanistan at this time, if the Tsarist Russians really don't know how to advance or retreat, then we have to fight in the northwest and north at the same time."
Yang Xiuqing said as she sat back to her position, "Is this indeed a good thing? But a gentleman said a word and a quick horse. Since we have made a promise to others, it is time to fulfill it, we must admit it."
"Yes, I agree with Chairman Yang's idea."
As soon as Yang Xiuqing finished speaking, Hong Renqi rushed to express his opinion.
"This is also the attitude we should show as a responsible major country. Of course, making enemies on all sides is not a good thing, and it will also add a lot of difficulties and troubles to ourselves. But luckily, we have long established millions of elite troops in the Three Norths, and we have destroyed the ideological and cultural ideas and culture of the Tsarist Russians over the past decade. If the Tsarist Russians really dare to be shameless, it will be as the Haifeng brothers once imagined, and it will completely dismember this rogue country. I believe that no matter how difficult or troublesome it is, it will not be a big problem to solve this Tsarist Russian."
"Haha, Brother Ren's name, there's no such simple thing."
Shi Dakai smiled and looked at Hong Renyu, "Tsarist Russia is not Japan, nor is it a small country in small places. Besides, the war is not just a million elite troops. The harsh climate and long transportation lines, as long as there is a slight omission, it will repeat the mistakes of Napoleon I of France back then. So, at least it is not the time to completely solve them."
"Brother Dakai is right. The problem of Tsarist Russia needs to be solved, but it shouldn't be now..."
Then Shi Dakai's words began to explain his views.
He believed that if the Tsarist Russians completely turned against each other too early, then what the Celestial Empire encountered was not a problem of trouble or not, but a lot of difficulties. Therefore, since the Tsarist Russians refused to break up with the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire should go with the flow. Of course, it is necessary to prepare for war. However, we should continue to maintain the so-called "good" relationship between the two sides in the past, and paralyze the Tsarist Russians to the best of their ability in order to gain valuable time for other battlefields.
Of course, the Celestial Government will never ignore the issue in Afghanistan.
Lin Haifeng believes that in order to prevent the Tsarist Russian ambitions from expanding excessively, it is possible to agree to the request of Shiva and Kazakhstan to dispatch some troops of the Northwest Front Army to the two countries in the name of ensuring regional peace, so as to warn the Tsarist Russians while continuing to put pressure on the Tsarist Russians in diplomacy.
For Afghans, the Celestial Government can increase their secret assistance and guide them to take advantage of their unique geographical advantages to drag the Tsarist Russians firmly into the quagmire of Afghanistan in various ways such as defensive warfare and guerrilla warfare.
