Chapter 200: Sunset! The sun never sets! (8)
"... On the battlefield of e-country, after the Krasnoyarsk attacked the Northern Front Army Krasnoyarsk, the main force continued to march into Novosibirsk along the Siberian Railway, and arrived at the northern suburbs of Novosibirsk yesterday night, reaching the meeting with the Bawu Group of the Northwest Front Army attacking the Barnaul..."
"Because it will take some time for the rear railway to repair and reorganize, most of the motor vehicles of the two groups are under repair. Not only can the necessary troop and material reserves for attacking the Novosibirsk Fortress Area be transported, but even the normal supply of front-line troops is difficult to maintain. A few troops have begun to slaughter military horses as military rations..."
"Since the end of the Hejian Battle, the 10th Army in the Central Asian sub-direction, has resumed its offensive against the lower Amu River and the Persian-Caspian Sea direction, and has been steadily underway."
"The Xiwu Detachment, which attacked the Khanate in the lower Amu River, has basically eliminated the enemies around the city of Shiva until yesterday. At the same time, with the assistance of the spy forces, it successfully rescued the Khan family. Now the local people have clearly turned to our side. The detachment intends to continue to advance to the lower Amu River after a little rectification and liberate the entire Amu River-Aarine Sea Delta."
"On the other way, the main force of the group army advancing to the Persian border and the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, the Caspian Sea Group, after capturing the southwest Ure in Charge on August 27, attacked Ashgabad along the Central Asian Railway. The vanguard troops arrived at the city of Ashgabad on September 6 and immediately launched an assault on the periphery of the city defense. By the end of last night, they had successfully controlled the main roads entering and leaving the city..."
“Above – the report is completed.”
Finally, he was able to put down the long and heavy teaching stick. Su Sanling returned to his seat with relief. Before he could put his butt on the chair, Qian Hua had already spoken with the "Supreme Commander" airtight.
"As mentioned above, in the decisive battle of the Indian Ocean that ended yesterday, our army won a strategic ''victory', and the i-strike battle to attack India is expected to proceed smoothly as planned. On the other hand, Britain and the United States launched counterattacks from the foreign South Ocean and Alaska respectively, attempting to restrain our army's actions; the autumn offensive against e-countries since the Battle of Hejian has also approached its limit. Obviously, this war is entering a new stage, and it is necessary to re-examine and confirm relevant strategies and strategies. Please express your opinions on this."
After a little silence, General Gu Yingyang, the current Chief of Staff and Army Minister of the Base Camp, who returned to the central government after the coup on August 2, had an indescribable smile on his face and said first: "The Emperor is very concerned. I think that at this time, interference should be eliminated, confidence should be strengthened, and the key points should not be led by the enemy."
Qian Hua's eyes turned: "How do you say this?"
Gu Yingyang put his hands on the table, and the traces of the elegant and handsome palace servants on his face seemed difficult to be washed away by time.
"It's very simple. The fundamental focus at present is on i operations. The counterattack of the enemy in the Pacific and the weak offensive of the e-country are interference factors that force us to be distracted. We are exerting force everywhere and unable to do everything. Since the importance of India has been confirmed before, we should continue to invest all our strength and materials to achieve the battle goals as soon as possible, so that we can free up our hands and concentrate our efforts to deal with other aspects - this is my opinion."
"As Chief of Staff Gu said, it is no problem from a military perspective, but..."
The one who immediately raised questions about Gu Yingyang's speech was Yang Zhengjin, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Wartime Foreign Affairs Committee, a former spiritual leader of the military.
"It is obviously not taken into account political influence."
Gu Yingyang raised his eyebrows: "The base camp is a military commander. As the head camp's army minister, we can only look at the problem from a military perspective."
Yang Zhengjin flicked the table with his finger and narrowed his eyes, "So... this base camp-'government' joint meeting is needed to coordinate the relationship between military and politics. Going back to the point, I actually agree with what Chief of Staff Gu said to ensure that the key points are, but I do not agree with the price of completely giving up other aspects. Since the war started, our army has won consecutive battles and has been invincible, which has strengthened the confidence of the people and allies and hit the morale of the people of the Allies. Once the British and American Pacific counterattacks succeeded this time, it will definitely enhance the determination of the Allies to resist, and at the same time it will affect the cohesion of our camp, which may lead to the extension of the war process and cause unnecessary losses to our side."
"Also, the e-country battlefield, which had been the primary focus for a long time, is not yet time to relax. Although the Russian army lost most of its mobile forces in the Hejian Battle, there is still no sign of surrender. Instead, with the promise of increasing aid from Britain and the United States, the strategy of exchanging space for time continues to resist stubbornly."
"Although one of the goals of the i operations is to close the Persian channel for the British and American aid countries, the United Kingdom and the United States have recently changed more and more aid materials to transport e countries through the Arctic Ocean channel, and the importance of the Persian channel has been declining. In addition, affected by the Indian Ocean naval war, the Allies are likely to launch the Straits Battle, trying to cut off the possibility of the empire and European allies, and at the same time, e countries get rid of the relatively isolated situation and realize the strategic meeting of the Allies."
"In short, e-country still has a chance, and we must defeat e-country as soon as possible and liberate the huge amount of military resources invested in this vast battlefield, so that we can concentrate our efforts to deal with the counterattack of the United States, the number one strong enemy. This is the "security focus" I truly agree with. No matter what, we cannot give e-country a chance to breathe. We must pursue it continuously. If there are difficulties, we must find a way to solve it, rather than use it as an excuse to stop. If the railway repair and rail revision project cannot keep up, then increase investment and try to improve construction efficiency; if the truck is damaged in large quantities, then transport more points, repair the road, and send more repairers, and prepare enough parts - nothing can be solved."
"Some people don't understand anymore. I also say that e is a symbol from a political perspective, just like the big pillar statue on the European and American square. It will be there for one day, and the partners of the Allied will feel at ease when they see it. We are hindered by him and hold our breath. We are still a little panicked and cannot concentrate on fighting the big people. If you push it down, the Allied will feel heartbroken. We are angry and we are even more united. We can fight the big people with peace of mind, and the war will end early - that's the reason."
After Yang Zhengjin finished talking, he nodded slightly to Qianhua and returned to his original posture of sitting upright.
Gu Yingyang lowered his eyebrows and speechlessly, his fox-like eyes wandered carefully between the seemingly kind and generous Prime Minister and the Queen, who was hard to bear in mind.
Qian Hua frowned slightly and said lightly: "I understand what both of you mean. Chief of Staff Gu emphasized the importance of i operations in military affairs, and Premier Yang emphasized the political influence of other battlefields. Although the angles are different, the guiding ideology is the same, that is, concentrate strength and defeat each one."
"There is no doubt that the i operations are the most important offensive action at present. On the premise that the Indian Ocean naval battle has achieved a decisive victory, we should continue unswervingly. But—"
Speaking of this, Qian Hua deliberately strengthened his tone three times.
"The army and naval forces gathered for i operations and various materials reserved are already very sufficient. There should be no need to supplement them in the near future, so there is no need to allocate them from the strategic reserves of the base camp, and it will not be misappropriated from other battlefields."
"Similarly, before all the battle goals of the i battle are achieved, other battlefields cannot temporarily misappropriate Indian troops and materials. This has no effect on the battlefields of e-country where the military strength that can be maintained by railway transportation lines has long reached the upper limit, but for the Alaska and the Outer Southeast Asian battlefields that play a decisive role in the naval forces, the problem is serious."
"So, the key to the problem now is how to deal with the British and American Pacific counterattack - does the Operations Director have any ideas?"
Lieutenant General Su Sanling jumped up again, stood up straight and said: "Yes, I think Alaska can give up for the time being, while the Southeast Asian side should strive to block the enemy's offensive."
"Alaska was originally close to the enemy and far away from us. Due to the limitations of climate and terrain, it was useless to seize it and it was difficult to defend it. The strategy for this direction was entirely out of political considerations to inspire the fighting spirit of the country and weaken the prestige of the United States. When the navy is in short supply, it can only temporarily give up. Of course, it does not mean that it is ordered to give up. Since this war zone has been fully delivered to the Japanese side, they will let them maintain their existing forces with their strength. We will not give any reinforcements, nor will they allow them to draw Japanese troops who have been assigned to the organization from other battlefields."
"There are different aspects of the Outer Southeast Ocean. It is not only a springboard for our army to enter Australia, but also a base for the British and American attacks and counterattacks of the Inner Southeast Ocean from Australia. Once the enemy takes the initiative, it will be very unfavorable to the future battle situation and may cause delays or even cancellations. Therefore, reinforcements must be provided immediately."
When Yan Fu heard this, he spread his hands in embarrassment: "The Navy has no extra troops anymore. His Majesty said just now that we cannot misappropriate the existing troops from India, where do we need reinforcements?"
Su Sanling was confident: "Transfer the 10th Air Force to the 10th Air Force."
Yan Fu was shocked: "You mean the Honolulu Air Force? How is this possible? This is the most reliable pillar force in Hawaii at present."
