Chapter 1102 Yamato, Musashi

"Let's talk about military issues first."

Xie Chengrui winked at Lu Zhuoran and motioned for him to introduce Jiang Dong.

Lu Zhuoran nodded slightly and then said:

"The commander-in-chief is aware of the situation of the Western Expeditionary Army. I mainly report to the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Navy."

He paused slightly.

"The Indochina Peninsula was completely liberated. Troops moved south from the Malay Peninsula, all the way to Singapore, and controlled the Strait of Malacca."

"The area controlled by our army starts from Huangyan Island in the east, to the Andaman Sea and the Maldives in the west, to Yunnan in the north, and to Singapore in the south!"

Jiang Dong had already sketched out a vast territory map in his mind, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Lu Zhuoran said again:

"The battle to regain Taiwan Island has entered its final stage. Several major fleets of the Navy have surrounded Taiwan Island. Using various infrastructure from the Japanese War, Taiwan Island will soon recover from the war and become an important naval base."

"The Bohai Fleet and Rocket Force have implemented the commander-in-chief's overall thinking on war against Japan and have not stopped attacking the Japanese mainland."

"After a few months, the little devil's industry was basically in a state of paralysis."

"These are situations abroad, and there are also things happening in China."

Lu Zhuoran said like an endorsement:

"Our Mongolian cavalry crossed the Altai Mountains, entered Dihua, and controlled several major basins and the Qinggan-Gansu region."

"The warlords in the northwest have either been annihilated or surrendered, and administrators have entered to formally take over these places."

Jiang Dong nodded while listening, looking quite satisfied.

Xie Chengrui then said:

"The Southern Expeditionary Army has completed their mission. The General Staff intends to revoke the designation of the Southern Expeditionary Army and return all armies to the Seventh Corps."

Jiangdong agreed:

"This was originally a wartime establishment and should be restored to its original state."

"I received a notification from the US not long ago." Xie Chengrui said:

"General Stilwell ceased to serve as the Chief of General Staff of the China Theater and was appointed as the General Liaison Officer between us and the United States Army."

The Chinese theater existed in name only, and the Allied forces were unable to set foot in various areas controlled by China.

Under such circumstances, changing to the position of chief liaison officer is a helpless move.

"We also said in our previous report that the United States seems to be planning to land on Okinawa before our troops, and their actions are very big."

Xie Chengrui looked at Jiangdong,

"The navy and army gathered more than 200,000 troops, and MacArthur and Nimitz personally took command."

Director of Military Intelligence Song Li continued:

"We have received accurate information that in addition to the Lincoln supercarrier battle group that has arrived in the Western Pacific, there is another aircraft carrier on the way that will participate in the Battle of Okinawa."

Lu Zhuoran said with some confusion:

"Commander-in-Chief, the Ryukyu Islands have been a vassal state of the Central Plains since ancient times. Nimitz and MacArthur's intention is very obvious, which is to set up a military base at our gate."

"Our navy has already freed up its hands, why don't you let us take action?"

Xie Chengrui and Wang Xueqin were also a little confused.

Jiang Dong glanced around and spoke slowly:

"This is the same reason why our troops did not land on the Japanese mainland immediately."

"The kid's 100 million pieces of jade is no joke. Believe me, Nimitz and MacArthur's battle to attack Okinawa will not go smoothly."

"They will have to pay at least 60,000 to 80,000 casualties."

"And this is only in Okinawa, which is outside the homeland. It is conceivable that the little Japanese will land in the homeland."

"The problems between us and the Allies must ultimately be resolved through negotiations."

"Just let these big noses get into trouble. If they can't get any benefits, they will invite our army to help. Then they will raise conditions."

Everyone is a little skeptical.

The little devil has reached the end of his rope. Can a small Okinawa cause 60,000 casualties to the United States soldiers?

But since Jiang Dong said so, they obeyed the order obediently and suppressed their impatience.

Song Li said:

"The Japs' navy has been basically wiped out, but the Yamato and Musashi, which they regard as the sacred ships that protect the country, are still missing."

"In this Okinawa battle, the Japanese's new combined fleet commander, Toyoda, may use these two battleships to make a fuss."

Jiangdong almost forgot these two famous battleships.

"Yamato, Musashi..." His expression looked a little emotional:

"Is this the little devil's last glory?"

"Why, our Great Wall troops didn't find any trace of these two battleships?"

Xie Chengrui replied:

"No, the little devil hid them very well."

Jiangdong was thoughtful,

"The full-load displacement of these two battleships exceeds 70,000 tons, and they are almost catching up with our super aircraft carriers."

"The best situation is to seize these two battleships completely. We don't expect them to perform well on the battlefield, but they can be placed in a military museum for our children to visit and provide patriotic education.

.”

"But I'm afraid it won't be easy to grab it completely..."

Placing a 70,000-ton battleship in a military museum will be the best display of force and the best image education.

It can also be used to scare third world countries.

All in all, it has many uses.

Jiang Dong clicked his tongue and said:

"The last glory of the little devil must not be destroyed in the hands of the United States. If it is to be destroyed, it must be destroyed by our navy!"

"Strengthen aerial reconnaissance and intelligence spying, make two-pronged preparations, and seize it as much as possible if you can, otherwise our navy will not let it be buried at sea!"

"Understood!" Xie Chengrui and Song Li nodded at the same time.

After talking about military issues, he started to turn to domestic affairs. Wang Xueqin said:

"Commander-in-Chief, the peace negotiations are about to end. The administrative committee is already organizing people to discuss the future national system, country name, flag and other issues."

When Peiping wielded the big stick, the unification negotiations were greatly accelerated, and Chongqing seemed to have suddenly lost all confidence.

The general trend and the will of the people can no longer be blocked by an individual or a single collective.

When talking about this issue, Jiang Dong's face showed a tangled look, and he scratched his chin.

"Honestly, I'm not quite ready yet!"

Jiangdong was not mentally prepared for such a large population and such a vast land to be handed over to his own hands.

As soon as he said this, Wang Xueqin, Xie Chengrui and others also laughed bitterly.

They were not mentally prepared either.

In the past, I only thought about fighting, and the main purpose was to drive away the Japanese invaders.

I never thought that one day I would control a country's military power and its destiny.

I was both anxious and nervous, but also a little bit hopeful.

Just like the students who come to Beijing to take the exam, they have great ambitions but also some lack of confidence.

Jiang Dong hesitated for a while and said:

"As the Administrative Committee continues to advance relevant work, it must listen to the public's opinions extensively and discuss it extensively!"

"I'll go to Chongqing when I have time."
Chapter completed!
