Chapter 959 Resources and Benefits
"Okay, let's talk about the tasks of each unit in detail and prepare in advance."
Jiang Dong tapped the table to attract everyone's attention, and at the same time gave Xie Chengrui a look.
Xie Chengrui smoothed his hair and said slowly:
"We will not land on the Japanese mainland for the time being. Next year we will mainly use the H-6 Super Sky Fortress to bomb Japan's industrial cities."
"The Air Force and Rocket Force should establish military bases in Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, Koryo Peninsula, Jeju Island, Tsushima Island and other places, and be prepared to attack major Japanese cities at any time."
"The Bohai Fleet is responsible for maritime combat missions in the Yellow Sea, Sea of Japan, Koryo Strait and other places. At the same time, carrier-based aircraft must work closely with the Air Force bomber brigade to complete escort missions."
"Let the fighter planes fly freely in the skies of Japan and drop bombs wherever we want!"
Zhou Yingshan waved his fist, looking eager to try.
Bohai Fleet Commander Yang Wanquan began to blink his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth.
Japan's naval power has left the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and Sea of Japan. It is difficult for the Bohai Sea Fleet to participate in large-scale naval battles if it remains in the north.
The entire fleet and aircraft carrier battle groups will become auxiliary to the Air Force and Rocket Force.
He was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to refute immediately.
"The primary goal of the East China Sea and Yellow Sea fleets is to recover Hainan Island and Taiwan Island. The navy is entirely responsible for the battles in these two places."
What Xie Chengrui meant was that the Marine Corps would land on the island to fight.
The Navy currently has 6 marine divisions and 120,000 marines. Its weapons and equipment are as sophisticated as those of the Army's Young Guards.
And when landing operations on the island, an aircraft carrier battle group will provide air support.
Navy Commander Xu Tingyi accepted the task without any hesitation after thinking about it.
"The Seventh Corps carried out the combat mission of liberating Annam and Siam." Xie Chengrui looked at Wang Laohu, the commander of the Seventh Corps.
"As I said just now, the combat mission of the southern front is to seize the entire Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula and penetrate military power into Singapore and other places."
"The Seventh Corps can choose to attack from Yunnan, Guangxi, Myanmar and other places. The battle will start in the spring, and these places must be captured before the end of this year."
"In addition to the 7th Corps, you will also be equipped with 5 armored divisions."
"Any questions?"
Wang Laohu stood up and said loudly:
"Don't worry, the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of General Staff, we will ensure that we capture these places not in a year, but in three months at most!"
Xie Chengrui waved Wang Laohu to sit down, and then said to Li Zhaoying, commander of the Eighth Corps:
"After the beginning of spring, the Eighth Corps, the Young Guards, the Armored Group Army, the Airborne Forces, etc. will prepare for the expedition to the European battlefield. The material reserves and the ideological mobilization of the soldiers must be completed within these two months."
"Yes, resolutely obey the orders of the General Staff!"
Li Zhaoying didn't have any unnecessary nonsense. He stood up and saluted and sat down again.
"That's it, the meeting is over!"
Jiang Dong waved his hand casually, and the officers saluted and left.
When only Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui were left in the conference room, the latter asked with interest:
"Commander-in-Chief, after spring, you will go to the European battlefield with the expeditionary force, right?"
Jiangdong said naturally:
"That's for sure. There are more than 1 million troops. How could I hand over command to others?"
"Apart from the return of more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land, what other benefits can be obtained from the expedition with more than 1 million troops?"
Xie Chengrui didn't quite understand Jiang Dong's intention of paying such a high price.
Jiang Dong didn't waste any time, lit a cigarette and took Xie Chengrui directly to the Blue Star map.
His fingers touched Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and finally the North and South Poles.
"When the Manchu and Qing dynasties closed the country, most of the resources on this planet had been divided up by the imperialist countries."
"The ultimate goal of a world war is the redistribution of resources."
"This is an opportunity for the whole of China."
"In the past five years, through arduous struggle and unremitting efforts, we have basically eliminated the enemies near China and penetrated our military power into the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and the entire Northeast Asia."
"It's almost back to the period when the Ming Dynasty was at its most powerful."
"But it's not enough."
Jiangdong exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the entire map and said:
"When the army is sent out, it's not that easy to come back."
"We can take this opportunity to expand our military power and national influence to the places I just named, and seize control of Blue Star resources from the imperialist countries."
"This is considering the next 50 and 100 years, and is the fundamental reason for the expedition of a million troops."
Xie Chengrui still doesn't quite understand. After all, he only went to military school and learned international politics in the past two years.
If Lu Zhuoran were around, he would definitely be able to understand Jiang Dong's meaning immediately.
………
Chongqing.
Dai Li, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and others once again gathered in the meeting room of the Military Commission.
The domestic anti-aggression war has basically ended, but the principal seems to have no intention of reorganizing the Military Commission.
Jiangdong is becoming increasingly powerful, and Chongqing's voice and influence are getting smaller and smaller, both domestically and internationally.
The previous announcement on Japan signed by many countries is the best example.
The person who signed the proclamation was not the ambassador sent from Chongqing to Washington, but Lu Zhuoran, the plenipotentiary representative of Peking.
Nowadays, Chongqing only has nominal power to rule, and all other aspects have been invisiblely penetrated by Peiping.
Whether it is the economy or people's livelihood, the development of all provinces under the rule of Peking is the best.
Jiangdong not only received actual benefits, but also gained national fame.
Eight out of ten people in Chongqing say good things about Peiping. One is a stubborn representative of the big bourgeoisie, and the other is a person who cannot speak.
The people's sentiment is such that no matter how hard we try, the situation is irreversible.
But the principal still holds his only power tightly in his hands and has no intention of letting go.
Dai Li described the situation in Peiping and other war zones around the world to everyone present, and finally came to two conclusions.
"Jiangdong's army will start a new round of larger-scale expedition!"
"Beiping is still afraid of the principal's majesty and has no plans to march into the southwest!"
When the last word came out, Dai Li's face twitched involuntarily.
"Let's talk about it, where should we go this year?" the principal said in a calm tone.
Relatively simple generals, like Xue Yue, hope to join the expedition and seek greater benefits for the country.
But others are unwilling to give up their own and family interests, and are very cautious in their speech. The overall intention is to maintain the current status.
The principal rubbed his temples, and his expression became a little dazed at a certain moment.
It seems to remind me of Xiao Jiang who served as the commander-in-chief of the Armored Group Army.
'Power is the most fascinating thing!'
Chen Cheng and others were still discussing various aspects of Peking's economy and foreign relations, but the principal's mind was no longer in the conference room.
Half an hour later, the discussion gradually came to an end. The principal looked at Dai Li and asked:
"Did Jiangdong say how to deal with domestic affairs?"
Dai Li's expression suddenly became strange, and he said hesitantly:
"There is such a saying among the military and political factions in Peiping."
He glanced at the principal and everyone present and uttered the last few words.
