Chapter 208: Solomon Checkers (Eight)
"Navy or Army? Could it be that it is in the troops landing on Guadalam this time?"
Liu Qianhua became interested.
Gu Yingyang blinked: "It should be the Army, and I can't remember the specific situation. After Rong Laochen went back and found out carefully, he would report it..."
Liu Qianhua closed his eyes and smiled, flicked his fingers, "Forget it, it's just an irrelevant topic of conversation after dinner, don't take it to heart. But I always feel a little uneasy in this Solomon front line - you are so sure, now it's just restarting SF
The best time to fight?”
Gu Yingyang nodded and stood up, picked up the thin bamboo whip on the table, approached the huge map frame in the center of the hall, the tip of the whip started from the East China Sea in China, and extended westward along the picture, passing through the Strait of Malacca.
Bypassing the Indian subcontinent, drilling into the Persian Gulf.
"It's like this. After our army successively captured Mumbai and Karachi ports in April and occupied the port of Abbas in Persia in May, it recently successfully landed in Basra and completed its historical "sex" meeting with the Turkish army."
"During this period, the strategy of the British and Indian colonies was basically completed, and the military changed to public security construction as the core priority, and politically began to prepare the Federal Constitutional Convention with the Tyrak's temporary national "government" as the core. It aims to open up the Indian Ocean transportation line.
After nine months of hard work, the i battle finally entered the stage of construction and maintenance.”
"Of course, there are two bottlenecks: Baghdad Railway and the Black Sea Strait. When building railways, we are almost practicing in Siberia, so we are leaving them to the railway soldiers. As for the recovery of the strait, as long as the railway is built and the army advances north,
Don't be afraid that the British and French coalition forces will not go into the sea."
Seeing Gu Yingyang speaking so easily, Liu Qianhua raised his eyes and smiled: "Marquis Wu Ling is too confident."
Gu Yingyang didn't care, and he gently tapped the Asia Minor Peninsula, which was suddenly separated by the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea: "Although the Strait Strategy Battle launched by the Allied Forces since the beginning of the year, it finally opened up the transportation line for aid to Russia from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, but in my case,
Under the strong strangle of the emergency dispatch of the Joint Expeditionary Air Force of the Army and Navy, the effectiveness of this passage should be very limited."
"In order to maintain the smooth flow of transportation, the agreement not only invested a large amount of sea and air escort forces, but also launched new land offensives in an attempt to eliminate our army's aviation base on the Asia Minor Peninsula. Both the Turkish Army and our expeditionary aviation team were
He made great sacrifices and maintained the front line within a range of 100 kilometers from the south coast of the strait, ensuring that the attack range of our aviation troops could cover the entire strait area."
"For more than two months, as long as the weather allows, our expeditionary air force will take turns to attack, torpedo attack, horizontal bombing, and low-altitude sweep and fire, and strike any fleet that dares to pass through the strait in the daytime, and at the same time, with a force of force
Turkish friendly forces supporting the land front. At night, except for a few elite troops occasionally launching night attacks, the main mission of the air force is to lay mines, and airdrop mines block the narrowest part of the strait."
"According to the report of the Expeditionary Air Force, between April and May, nearly 100 merchant ships from the Allied countries were sunk, with a total of 260,000 tons of registered tonnage confirmed - of course, this does not include the results of air mine laying. In addition, aviation
The team sank and injured fifteen enemy warships, shooting down and blowing up nearly 100 enemy planes. During this period, the air force lost nearly 300 aircraft of various types, lost five airships, killed and missing, and disappeared.
Thousands.
Liu Qianhua smacked his lips gently: "This loss is not small. The main force of the aviation team is HNA, so why didn't the Navy scold me?"
"There is no way, the logistics conditions are too harsh. Large aircraft transfers from the mainland for a long distance, and small aircraft are disbanded and air transported. People, ammunition and spare parts are all air transported."
"The relay transition of thousands of kilometers in the inland Central Asia is complex and unfamiliar. The terrain is complex and unfamiliar. The enemy-occupied area is flying around the enemy. It coincides with the alternation of winter and spring, and the weather is harsh and changeable. Almost 30% of the losses are lost halfway..."
Speaking of this, Gu Yingyang couldn't help but lower his head and sigh.
"Fortunately, I was planning ahead two years ago and set up a joint venture with Germany in Mosul. Otherwise, I would not approve this battle if I killed myself. If gasoline also needs to be transported by air, it would be better to transport several infantry regiments over there.
”
"Now our army has finally invaded the Persian Gulf and occupied the port of Basra. Before the emergency repair of the Baghdad Railway is completed, the air force's equipment and supplies can be transported to Basra by sea, and then transferred to air transport through the Iraqi region controlled by Turkey. It has efficiency and safety
'Sex' will be greatly improved..."
Somehow, Gu Yingyang suddenly became energetic again, ignoring the tired face of Her Majesty the Queen on the couch and talking to herself.
"More importantly, since the beginning of spring, the Italian army has suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with the Austro-Hungarian army, which has liberated part of the German army stationed on the Italian front to assist the Austro-Hungarian army in battle and transferred it to the Balkan front. It is reported that Germany has recently been
The Austrian army is working together to sweep away the Italian and French troops entrenched in southern Albania, and are "closing" to the northwest Greece."
"Last month, Romania finally declared war on Russia, and the main force of the Roman army invaded Ukraine, which allowed Bulgaria, which had old grudges, to relieve its worries. In recent months, the Bulgarian army has been evacuating the Turkish army that had withdrawn from the Gallipoli Peninsula in recent months.
A team to jointly attack northeastern Greece."
"The Allied forces' siege against Greece forced the Allied Army to invest more manpower and material resources in the defense of Greece, and had no spare time to continue to advance into the inland Turkey. This greatly reduced the pressure on the Turkish army and also reduced me by the way.
The burden of the expeditionary air force…”
Liu Qianhua's fingers are lightly supported by the ears, long eyelashes are lightly hidden, and his eyes are closed, interrupting Gu Yingyang with his eyes closed: "As the Chief of Staff in charge of the base camp, I still understand so many details, although I am deeply pleased.
, but - what does what you said have to do with SF combat?"
Gu Yingyang smiled without any maliciousness and said, "The emperor is rarely confused. Since the war in India has subsided and the Persian Gulf strategy has been successfully completed, the straits can also be relaxed a little. In this way, before the Baghdad Railway was built, the ship capacity of the Indian Ocean was carried out.
Demand will not increase further in the short term.”
"In this way, the newly built ships can be temporarily used in the Pacific, and the focus of the Pacific is now on Solomon's direction, and it is imperative to restart the SF combat."
Liu Qianhua said "Oh" weakly, and said in a scattered manner: "It's imperative... It's indeed imperative..."
Gu Yingyang was still smart, so he quickly put down his teaching whip, bowed his hands and said, "Are the emperor tired? Then the old minister will leave first, and he will come again..."
While speaking, the female official Ye Jingying hurried into the hall, and before the collapse of the emperor, approached the queen's ear, and said only one sentence. Liu Qianhua suddenly sat up like an electric shock, and nodded to Gu Yingyang: "Thank you, Marquis Wuling, has it been hard.
, let's get here today."
"The old minister sued..."
Gu Yingyang hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately put down his fists holding in front of him.
"Suppose the old minister is too concerned. Could it be that what Ms. Ye just reported it..."
...
Rabaul, Southeastern War Zone Command.
On the roof of the building, on the "outer" platform covered with a layer of volcanic ash, an outrageous uncle with an uncensored face shirt on top, a pair of printed shorts on the bottom, and a pair of people on their feet.
Big slippers - shaking hands with a white-clothed Rear Admiral with a vertical collar that was buckled tightly.
"Sorry, since I took that shot in Chita, I can't stand it a little hotter. I'm even more suffering when I wear a uniform - Chief Ye won't mind, right?"
It turns out that this sloppy uncle is no one else, but Marshal Zhang Yiye, the commander-in-chief of the War Zone.
"You are polite, Commander, I wish you could be so cool."
The visitor was Ye Fei, the chief of staff of the United Fleet. While he was joking, he had unbuttoned the buttons on the vertical collar. Suddenly, he said in his ears: "Do you want me to give you a set?"
Ye Fei's hand stopped at his neck.
Zhang Yiye laughed and patted the swaying and oversized shorts below: "My outfit will also make you cool?"
Ye Fei forced a bitter smile: "Thank you, Commander, for your kindness. I've been grateful for it - I missed the plane with heavy rain. I'm already half a day late, so let's talk about the serious matter first."
Zhang Yiye nodded and smiled, and asked, "I'll be relieved to send you to you, Chief Sa. It's so gray here, let's go down to talk."
After going down the stairs, Zhang Yiye's commander-in-chief's office was covered with thick teak, but it was also gray.
"You sit down first, I'll explain a few words to welcome you later..."
Ye Fei took out the pocket watch on his chest and glanced at him: "I want to know the enemy situation within 16 hours before."
Zhang Yiye pointed casually: "Everyone is on the table, you're welcome."
As a cigarette, the two of them were sitting opposite each other across a map table, each with a cup of celadon-painted tea in celadon.
"Captain Sa's health is good? I heard that the main force of the joint fleet is still fighting hard in the Indian Ocean?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Yiye spoke with a thorny feeling.
Ye Fei just pretended not to know and responded calmly: "The commander and commander were joking. The joint fleet won many battles and was defeated. How could there be a saying of hard fighting?"
Zhang Yiye suddenly realized his face: "Oh, since that's the case, I'm relieved - I still heard that Basra was also taken down?"
Ye Fei lifted the tea lid lightly, leaned close to the cup and took a sip, nodded, "The British have run away long ago, and the vanguard team met with the Turks as soon as they got ashore. The next step was to sweep mines and clear the shipwreck, and all the way from Colombo
After doing it, it is very familiar. It won’t take long to re-activate the port.”
Zhang Yiye flicked the cup lid with his index fingers and smiled, "It's a happy ending. Oh, I'm so happy, I'm looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart when Commander Sa moved to the Pacific Ocean and also went to my small temple to eat.
Taste tea.”
"It depends on the arrangements of the base camp. I personally think it should be a matter of time sooner or later - I just read the telegram on the table, and the mobile troops were discovered by enemy planes an hour ago."
Ye Fei was obviously eager to change the topic.
