After receiving the news that the third division had safely broken out of the encirclement, An Yi felt reassured.
The Japanese paratroopers lacked the heavy firepower to attack Komsomolsk. Yesterday, their attack on Komsomolsk was in vain. Instead, they were routed by a fierce counterattack by the Far Eastern Army. Therefore, there was no Japanese obstruction in front of the Third Division at this moment. As long as the Third Division successfully reached Komsomolsk, it would be safe.
There is no problem in withdrawing to Mongolia.
An Yi thought for a while and became a little worried. He called the intelligence department of the General Staff and learned that the two divisions of the First Army were still firmly blocked in the town of Innoken to the east of Lake Malmez. They used the fortifications previously built by the Far Eastern Army to
Resolutely defended and prevented the opponent from quickly heading south to Khabarovsk to cut off the Far Eastern Railway, and then he felt relieved a little.
"Chairman, I don't understand why Jules Henry is allowed to see those captured former French colonial senior officials. Wouldn't our secrets be exposed by the enemy?"
General Deng Bin, Secretary-General of the Military Commission and President of the National Defense University, sat on the sofa nearby and asked with some confusion after reading the transcript of a conversation between a group of French military generals that the intelligence department had just sent.
The National Defense University's campus on the Baizhu Lake in Xinjing was completed at the end of last month. The school covers an area of 180 hectares and has complete teaching, scientific research and living facilities. It is only separated from Xiaonanhai by a wall. The National Defense University is the highest military institution in South China and is the home of Anjiajun
The only high-level contract command school, it trains command cadres above the division level of the army, navy and air force, local and municipal leading cadres and responsible cadres at the central government agency level and above. It engages in research on strategic and national defense construction issues and serves as a consultant for the decision-making of the Central Military Commission and the headquarters.
.If the Xufu Military Academy trains grassroots commanders, then the National Defense University is the cradle for training senior officers. According to An Jiajun’s army-building ideas, all future school officers who are promoted to generals will go to the National Defense University for further studies.
An Yi smiled, stood up and pushed aside the chair, walked around the desk, sat down on the sofa opposite Deng Bin, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, threw a cigarette to Deng Bin, and took out a lighter to light it himself.
, took a deep breath, and then said:
"We need a peaceful and stable international development environment, and forcing the French to surrender and choose to establish diplomatic relations with us is the most important way for us to win recognition from the international community. During this period, I asked the French envoy to go around and observe our
The development of industry and agriculture will allow him to have a general understanding of our national strength, and then let him know the strength of our navy and army through dialogue with captured senior French officials. The French government will then carefully weigh its own strength and do what it needs to do.
Make the wisest choice!”
Deng Bin still didn't understand: "If the great powers knew that we had such a huge fleet, would they be hostile to us?"
An Yi shook his head: "The French government will not make such a shameful thing public. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to take Jules Henry to visit our aircraft factory. At that time, our diplomats will tell Jules Henry that if
France is willing to recognize our Nanhua government, and we will consider selling aircraft to France. Our Nanhua fighter planes became famous in the war against Japan. If we don’t use them to make money, it will be a loss! In the future, the fighters we produce will be divided into self-use types and foreign trade types.
The performance of the foreign trade model must be at least two generations behind the self-use model, and the combat power should be maintained at about one-half, so that others will not be able to master our core technology."
Deng Bin nodded thoughtfully: "Will the French compromise? They may not be able to let go of the face of the world's largest army!"
An Yi smiled: "Let Jules Henry see our powerful aircraft manufacturing capabilities with his own eyes, and then let him see our steel plants and tank factories, he will have to estimate in his mind, if there is an all-out war with us in Nanhua, what will happen?
What an advantage we can take advantage of! In the current war in Central Asia, Britain, France, the United States and other countries all think that we are only playing a supporting role. Apart from taking over cities, we do not occupy many troops, and they are still very afraid of our mobilization ability!"
After listening to An Yi's explanation, Deng Bin felt relaxed and asked with a smile: "Is this a way to scare the grass and scare the snake?"
"No, it's called Knocking Mountain Zhenhu!"
An Yi put out the cigarette butt, took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, and then continued: "We must sell more of our weapons at the beginning of the war in Europe, so that countries such as Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway can take real action.
In exchange for gold and silver. When France cannot hold on anymore and surrenders, we will make money from the Germans. We will sell submarines to them first, and then sell aircraft, tanks, and artillery when we see the opportunity. With this multi-pronged approach, our economy will be
Step onto the highway of development.
"Because of this, our research on airships continues to be in-depth. If we can develop an airship that can carry 300 tons or even 400 tons of cargo, the items we can transport at one time will be greatly increased. By then, our trade with Germany will not need to go through
At sea, we only need to open up air transportation channels!”
Deng Bin nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced.
The airship has now become Nanhua's sky train. After large-scale production, the advantages of the airship have become more and more obvious. It has low production cost and uses extremely safe non-flammable helium. After adopting a multi-airbag design, its inertness
The gas characteristics determine that even if it is seriously damaged at high altitude, it can land safely. The load capacity is much larger than that of an airplane. The cost-effectiveness is also more cost-effective than ordinary ground transportation. For the same weight of goods, the transportation cost of an airship is only half of that of a train;
In terms of speed, airships now have a cruising speed of more than 180 kilometers, far exceeding that of trains. The more An Jiajun develops airships, the more impressed he is by their powerful transportation capabilities. Currently, airship airports have been built in various places.
, every time a new airship is produced, the military and local governments will compete for it. The airship industry has developed rapidly in Nanhua.
"Is school having trouble?"
An Yi suddenly changed the subject. There are now ten classes at the National Defense University undergoing rotation training, mainly from the commanders, political commissars, deputy division commanders and chiefs of staff of the ten newly formed groups of the Syrian government, as well as some division-level operations and intelligence
, the person in charge of communications, logistics and other departments. There are six major categories: military command, military thought and theory, international and domestic situation research, military political theory and research, and military logistics. Since it is during the war, the academic duration is less than three months.
.
Deng Bin said: "There are still difficulties. For example, the entire military has begun to implement the political commissar system. But so far, our National Defense University has no political commissar and no vice president. I am worried that people will criticize me for saying something. In addition, most of our teachers
Senior officers from various front armies and group armies are invited to make temporary guest appearances, and some are officers who have returned from studying in the United States and Germany. Sometimes what they say may not be correct. I am worried that our senior commanders will receive wrong guidance in the future.
Something went wrong.”
An Yi thought for a while and said: "I have compiled a lot of teaching materials for the Xufu Military Academy over the years. Haven't you summed up anything?"
Deng Bin shrugged: "The problem is that after many people learn it, they just copy it by rote. As a result, they use it blindly during sand table and map deductions, and in the end they lose their troops and generals."
"That's a problem!"
An Yi pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said: "This is the difference between senior commanders and middle- and low-level commanders. Middle- and low-level commanders only need to obey, and there is little room for improvisation, while senior commanders often need to adjust the situation according to the situation between ourselves and the enemy.
If they make mistakes in judgment and command, they will suffer a disastrous defeat. Let me think about it in the past few days and summarize a few military combat principles for your reference in teaching."
"Very good!"
Deng Bin said happily: "It would be great if there could be a general guideline for the general direction! The previous saying of 'When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack' is too general. We
Now we are fighting with a large corps, and many things need to be refined. If our commanders can be thoughtful when formulating combat plans, they can make fewer mistakes!"
An Yi nodded: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. I am temporarily serving as the political commissar of the National Defense University. I will spend three classes every week to give lectures to everyone. Of course, if the military situation is urgent, the courses may be adjusted at any time."
Deng Bin was so frightened that he stood up: "Chairman, you should be the principal, and I should be the vice principal. How can you..."
An Yi waved his hand: "This can be regarded as building momentum for the implementation of the political commissar system! As far as I know, doesn't Comrade Mao of the Eighth Route Army's Anti-Japanese University serve as the political commissar? I don't have time to manage school affairs, let alone do things for the students.
Ideological work, so I plan to let the director of the General Political Department, Lieutenant General Zhan Zhan, be the deputy political commissar, and the director of the General Logistics Department, Lieutenant General Chang Baofang, be the vice president. This combination is more reasonable."
Seeing An Yi's resolute attitude, Deng Bin had no choice but to give up. Then he thought that the leaders of the three headquarters were all posted at the National Defense University, and that the National Defense University's reputation as the first military academy in the Anjia Army was confirmed, and he felt sincerely happy.
"The problem of instructors can only be like this now. During the war, we simply cannot recruit senior generals who are leading the troops to fight as professional instructors. The fact that our senior officers of the front armies and group armies can reach where they are today shows that they have their own
A set of combat theories, whether correct or not, has at least been tested in actual combat. When they come to give lectures, they can not only improve themselves in the lectures, but also pass on their advanced things to others. This is very good! And from then on
Officers who have returned from studying abroad bring with them the military ideas of foreign armies, which can help us understand the military trends in today's world.
"We opened the National Defense University to train senior commanders for the army. We do not simply let everyone copy previous battle examples, but let everyone learn and apply them flexibly.
Ask questions and use your brain.
"The teaching at our National Defense University should be supplemented by lectures, focusing on practical assignments, and holding more sandbox and map deductions to allow students to express their opinions. The final exam of the training should also use war chess deductions as the main reference, so that we can select real students.
Those military talents who fail the assessment can be observed for a period of time, and the National Defense University will organize a surprise assessment. If it is really not possible, they will be archived and transferred to political and logistics work, so that everyone can make the best use of their talents!"
Deng Bin admired An Yi's whimsical ideas very much and said with a smile: "In this case, those cadres who rely on their qualifications will suffer!"
"If you are not good at military command, you must at least be able to do political and ideological work, right? Even if you are not good at logistics and overall planning, it is still good. If you can't even do these, it proves that there was something wrong with our previous cadre training policy. I believe that the waves will wash away the sand.
The brothers who can reach the level of military advisor are all good, and there will never be that old-fashioned bureaucrat. I have no doubt about this."
Feeling An Yi's strong self-confidence, Deng Bin was impressed and became more determined to follow An Yi closely.
