"Teacher, the telegram has been translated."

Not long after Hiroshi Guangtian received the telegram, Liao Changfeng came to see Jiang Baili with a deciphered note. He was also the group of National Defense University selected students from Liu Mingzhao. Even if he is the commander of the Marine Corps, he would have to call him a teacher when he saw Jiang Baili.

After seizing Japanese cryptographs and decoders many times, Japan's radio communications are now almost one-way transparent to the National Defense Forces. The Strategic Intelligence Agency's password deciphering team can translate a telegram of 100 words in a few minutes using computers. "Haha, some people are not giving up." After reading it, Jiang Baili sneered twice, and he really thought that the Soviet Union could break the sky? If the president hadn't hoped to grasp the future before Europe and the United States to revitalize the country's science and technology, a bomb could smooth Tokyo and Moscow from the earth!

Liao Changfeng didn't know the existence of nuclear technology, and thought he was angry, so he deliberately fanned the flames and said, "Teacher, why don't you go back and talk to the president and let me log in."

"Haha, I can't make the decision on this matter." Jiang Baili smiled and collected the telegram: "You can take down Sulawesi and East Timor as soon as possible, and be prepared to interfere in Japan, even if you share the worries for the president. You will naturally notify you of the rest. In short, you will inevitably have the opportunity to go to Tokyo to show off your power."

"Look at what you said, I am over fifty years old, so I don't have the intention to play."

"Dede, don't be fooled by me. I want to go back to Beijing, and Guangtian will trouble you." Jiang Baili packed his briefcase and went out to go back to Beijing. When he arrived at the airport, he remembered something and grabbed Liao Changfeng and said: "There is something you need to be prepared in your heart. The President has decided to separate the Marine Corps from the Navy. I am afraid you will form a Marine Corps Command."

"Marines are independent?" Liao Changfeng's body shook, his eyes were bright: "Do you learn from the United States and delegate our command to the president?" "Yeah." Jiang Baili nodded. Yang Qiu and the General Staff considered the independence of the Marine Corps for a long time. With the increase of China's offshore territories, there will definitely be many overseas tasks in the future and even some regional conflicts will be involved. However, the current constitution stipulates that the three armies need national authorization, so Yang Qiu wanted to learn from the United States to separate the Marine Corps and the Special Operations Command, and then delegate the power of the two forces to the president. This way, external crises can be quickly dealt with without the need to pass the cumbersome congressional authorization. For this reason, he is also considering transforming several subsequent Liaoning-class aircraft carriers into amphibious assault ships to bypass the trouble of the Marine Corps requiring the navy to provide firepower support.

In fact, this is the model of rapid response troops in various countries in later generations, and of course it is also a symbol of interventionism. But because this matter involves the reallocation of internal power in the army, Jiang Baili said hello to Liao Changfeng in advance.

It was already afternoon when he returned to Beijing. After coming to the president's office, he saw Yang Qiu and Song Ziqing whispering, and several senior naval officers such as Bingwen and Bai Yutang were looking bitter. "Yeah, why are the navy on holiday today? Hey, Bingwen, why are you having a bitter face? It's not long before this year."

"Principal, don't disgust me." Bingwen didn't have the intention to joke, but Yang Qiu laughed: "It's just right, I'm just about to hear your opinions."

"Why, Yue Peng, Chu Nan and others are not in Beijing?"

"Yue Peng went to Guizhou, Zhu Peide and Qin Zhangshu went to Persia, and Liu Mingzhao also went together. He would go to Britain to attend the Allied Conference. Chu Nan was worried about Ural, so he went to inspect the northwest with Long Yun yesterday."

"Why is Yue Zi'an going to Guizhou well? Where are Yu Lei and Xu Huansheng of the Air Force?"

"They don't have time. It's almost May, and they're busy just doing bombing plans in Baku and the west of the Soviet Union." Song Ziqing pulled Jiang Baili to the side, picked up a thick document and stuffed it to him: "Look at this first." Jiang Baili picked up the document and saw why Bingwen, Bai Yutang and others were full of sorrow. It turned out that they were going to lay off the naval project.

After three years of war, the main battlefield finally moved to the Mediterranean and the Western Front as expected. The remaining tens of thousands of Japanese troops in the southeastern Peninsula were just water-melting skills. North Korea had a large number of Japanese troops, but the supply had been cut off and handed over to the North Korea to fight slowly. As for Java Island and Rabaul, there was no plan to land. So Yang Qiu finally had time to make a major adjustment to the army and domestic government affairs. The Navy has lost most of its combat effectiveness and its current strength has far exceeded actual needs, so it became the first target to adjust.

"Principal, you're saying something." Chen Shiying quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, hoping that he would say a few good things for the Navy. After reading the plan carefully, Jiang Baili shook his head and said, "Don't blame me for being too much. The president has supported you a lot over the years, so it's time for you to take the initiative to help the president and the country reduce some burden. As for the Marine Corps... this is prepared for the future, and there is no room for negotiation!" As soon as this sentence was released, it was equivalent to the last hope of completely destroying the navy. Bingwen had to nod in seeing this: "Then let's follow the arrangements of the President and the General Staff."

To this day, the Chinese Navy, which has been stumbling for sixty years, has been experiencing a storm of ups and downs. Now it’s hard to make a sky, and it’s understandable that it hopes to be closer. Moreover, this adjustment plan not only requires a large-scale layoff of the number of naval ships, but also involves the independence of the Marine Corps and the lifting of many restrictions such as the Navy’s long-range bomber force, so the Navy Department is not very satisfied with this.

Yang Qiu had no intention of blame, military system reform is the easiest to touch the distribution of interests, and the shipbuilding plan must also be adjusted, because the situation is different now. He must give more limited manufacturing capacity to the army and air force, and gradually restore people's livelihood and expand exports to Europe and the United States. He must kill Ma Su with tears.

After everyone negotiated one by one, Yang Qiu signed the name on the Naval Adjustment Act of 1942 and handed it over to Song Ziqing for final review. According to this bill, the Navy will be expanded from the current three fleets into four fleets and a special Northern Xinjiang detachment. The home port of the First Fleet is located in Qingdao and Ryukyu, with the Northeast Pacific as the main combat zone. The home port of the Second Fleet is located in Zhoushan and Guam, with the Southwest Pacific as the main combat zone. The Third Fleet is located in Singapore, with the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean as the main combat zone. The new Fourth Fleet will be responsible for the combat tasks of the Persian Gulf, East Africa and the Red Sea, and the command is located in Oman. The Special Fleet is specially set up for the coastal defense of the Arctic Ocean in the future, and there is no clear organization. Let’s talk about the future technological development that can be deployed for a long time to the north.

The Marine Corps will officially be independent from the Navy. All 577 Navy SeaH-7 bombers must also be handed over to the Air Force within the year. In the future, the Navy will only retain some special aircraft such as carrier-based aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, transport aircraft and seaplanes. This also means that the Navy's combat responsibilities will be simpler and clearer.

In addition to organizational arrangements, equipment and wartime shipbuilding plans are the largest adjustment projects.

Currently, the Navy has a total of 32 aircraft carriers, two Beihai class, three Sichuan class, six Liaoning class and 21 escort aircraft carriers. After the adjustment, the remaining 6 Liaoning class will be suspended, of which the four with the highest completion rate will be transformed into Singapore-class amphibious assault ships that can carry attack aircraft at the same time, helicopters and general landing craft will be handed over to the Marine Corps, and two will be suspended but the hull will not be removed in case of emergency. As for the three "Zhejiang-class" aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 50,000 tons that started construction at the beginning of last year, they will no longer be adjusted, and funds will be continued to be allocated. After the war, the two "Beihai" will be transferred to the reserve service immediately. All escort aircraft carriers will be demolished or sold, and only 14 fleet aircraft carriers will be retained.

The battleships remain unchanged, namely two Anhai class, four Beijing class and two Shandong class. The remaining two "Shandong" class will be delivered this year and early next year. After the war, the two Anhai class ships will be retired and demolished immediately.

There is currently one "Wuhan" class, two "Taiwan Island" class and seven "Xi'an" class. The three "Xi'an" class with a high completion rate will be completed. The remaining two and six "Heilongjiang" class planned ships will be cancelled.

The light cruisers have 3 "Tumenjiang" class, 1 "Yangtze River" class, 7 "Xiangjiang" class and 10 "Yarlung Zangbo River" class. Among the remaining 8 "Yarlung Zangbo River" class, only the first three with a higher completion rate are retained, and the latter 4 and 8 "Qinghai Lake" class order ships have been cancelled.

There are currently 4 Changfeng class, 20 Yongxing Island class, 6 Taishan class, 71 Qinling class and 122 "territorial sea" class frigates. The 11 Qinling class that have been launched will be completed, and the rest will be cancelled. Among the 3,700-ton standard-row "Guam" class destroyers that started construction at the beginning of last year, in addition to the 17 that have been launched and started construction, 13 will be allocated, and the remaining 30 order ships and "territorial sea" class frigates will be cancelled. After the war, the Changfeng class and "yongxing Island" class will be immediately retired, and the "territorial sea" class frigates will be handed over to the National Guard 60, and the rest will be sold or demolished, and the three planned ships will be cancelled.

There are 132 submarines, of which 52 are comparable to the XXI class. They will be retained. Only 12 of the 29 ships that have started construction are retained, and the rest, except for 4 test models and 10 ocean-going special models, will be sold or dismantled after the war.

The funds will be allocated to build 15 auxiliary ships, including 2 large icebreakers, 2 submarine cable laying ships and 5 replenishment medical services. The landing ship project will not be reduced for the time being (because it is not 100% certain whether it will land in Japan in the end). All other modified ships such as fire support ships that are not in the form have been suspended, and they will be removed from the ship platform immediately to make room for urgently needed projects such as standard warships. Those who have already served will wait for the war to deal with it before they are dealt with.

The cancellation of dozens of ships and more than 100 order ships and planned ships have been accused of the Navy. But Yang Qiu did not say anything this time, and the new generation of strategic bombers, transport aircraft, tanks and other equipment have been finalized. It is urgent to expand production capacity, and the wartime standard wheels and industrial product orders of Britain and the United States have huge benefits. The shrinking of civil economic activities, the urgently needed production materials for trucks and tractors in the civil market, as well as national construction, industrial transformation, etc., prompted him to gradually restore people's livelihood and normal economic order as soon as possible, so that countries that have been under heavy pressure after the Three Years of War will transform early.

After seeing off Bingwen and others with a frustrated face, Jiang Baili was about to talk about Guangtian Hongyi when he saw Yang Qiu asking Miao Luo to pack up his things and prepare to go out, he said in surprise: "President, where are you going?"

"Go to Guizhou." Yang Qiu asked after saying that, "By the way, why are you back?"

"Here, you can see it yourself." Jiang Baili sent the deciphered telegram to Yang Qiu and said in a muffled voice: "It seems that Yuren has been living too comfortable during this period. I heard that Sud and De have changed their minds again when they attacked Türkiye."

"Let's talk about it on the plane, Yue Peng is still waiting for me." What surprised Jiang Baili was that Yang Qiu received the telegram but didn't even look at it. He stuffed him into his pocket and rushed to the airport.
