Chapter eight hundred and thirty second special meeting of the president
Chapter 832 Special Presidential Meeting!!
In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, in March 1933, Wang Hengyue convened a special presidential meeting.
All participants in the meeting, without exception, were senior government officials and senior military officers.
"What kind of war can our army be capable of fighting?" Wang Hengyue said straight to the point without any special politeness at the meeting: "We have a standing army of three million, and we can quickly arm three million troops within a year, but
How many of them can be put on the battlefield at the first time? How many elite armed forces are there? How many officers can guarantee victory in the battle?"
Chief of National Defense Zhang Xiaohuai quickly replied: "It depends on what kind of war we are fighting. If it is a fight with the Russians in Moscow, we can guarantee that the war will end within one year; if it is a fight with the Japanese, within six months, mainly
The war will end..."
"What about fighting the British? What about fighting the Americans? What about fighting the Germans once they become strong again?" Wang Hengyue asked rhetorically: "We cannot always focus on these neighboring countries. We must always be prepared to fight with the world.
If any powerful country in the world goes to war, it will perish if it forgets to fight! Only by being ready for war at all times can we avoid war to the greatest extent... For example, if we compete with the British on land, I am confident of victory. But
We encounter the British Royal Fleet at sea and have to fight to the death. Can our navy win?"
"We are certain, but there is no guarantee!" Navy Chief Chen Shaokuan's answer was very straightforward: "Although we have achieved victory over the Japanese Navy before, the process was very difficult. After years of intensive development, if we encounter Japan again
navy......"
"Don't always be Japan, Japan." Wang Hengyue interrupted the words of his navy chief: "Japan is no longer our main enemy. Compared with the national strength between the two countries, a decisive battle will happen again at sea, even if the first battle and the second battle are
We lost all three battles, but the final victory must belong to us. Why? Because Japan cannot afford to fight such a war! I repeat, Japan is no longer our main opponent, I am asking about the British Navy
, and even a battle between the U.S. Navy!”
Chen Shaokuan was silent for a moment: "As I said before, we can fight, but we can't guarantee victory..."
"This is the truth." Wang Hengyue nodded to his navy commander: "In this meeting, what I want to hear is not about singing and dancing to bring peace and how China has become stronger. What I want to hear is the truth. If our Chief Chen said
The navy must win, so I will remove him from his post now. We are developing aircraft carriers, and the United Kingdom and the United States are also developing aircraft carriers. We are building new warships, and they are also building new warships that may be more new than us. The development of both sides is equal.
On the other hand, looking at the UK, their navy is far stronger than ours. No one can guarantee victory...but we must go all out to win..."
Wang Hengyue paused briefly: "A few years ago, I once said that a new war would inevitably break out in the world. Now this time is getting closer and closer to us. We have worked hard for so many years to develop for
If we don’t fight, we will win. If we fight, we will win. We cannot afford to lose this war... We can’t control the sea in our own hands. Why are we talking about fighting for world hegemony? You heard me right.
We just want to gain hegemony, we want to speak effectively around the world, we want to become a superpower...
Navy, Army, Air Force, I have never favored any branch of the military. I have invested a lot of money in the military. For this reason, there are many people who accuse me of being the best in military affairs and a dictator. If a war breaks out, we will lose.
, I will be the first person to step down, and then it will be your turn, and each of us will have to bear the infamy that our descendants will never be able to wash away!"
Wang Hengyue's words were very harsh: "As soon as I unified the country, I launched a war against Russia, and then a war against Japan. Why? The army cannot be without fighting for a long time, and cannot always be in a peaceful environment. A Russian war,
It has trained millions of troops with combat experience for us; a battle against Japan has allowed new recruits who have never been on the battlefield to know what a real battlefield is. All of this is to prepare for the world war!"
The officers seemed excited. The meaning of the president's words could not be clearer. A world war will definitely break out, and perhaps it will break out soon.
What is the honor of a soldier? It is to establish unlimited merits on the battlefield!
The President is China's only special-level general and honorary generalissimo. I heard that the position of marshal will soon be established in the Chinese army. Who will be the first winner of the position of marshal?
And all this will be obtained from war...
"The war is not just about the army, but also in many aspects." Wang Hengyue said, turning his attention to those senior government officials: "The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry of Materials, what about you? Are you ready? Once the war breaks out
, the competition is not only the strength of the army, but also the comprehensive strength of the country. Cannons need shells, and cars need gasoline. Can these things prevent the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line from worrying? I will kill anyone who is holding back in this regard.
Whose brain is that?"
When Wang Hengyue said this, he was already stern: "Food, clothing, and use must be fully and effectively guaranteed. I only arrest the chiefs at all levels. If there is any problem, I only ask the chief. Don't
Give me any excuse. Once the war breaks out, no one can find any excuse, and no one can make mistakes. Even if it is my brother-in-law, if he wants to cause trouble for me and cause chaos on the front line, I will kill without blinking an eye!"
His brother-in-law, Ma Weiyi, director of supplies of the Republic of China, smiled.
Ma Weiyi knew his brother-in-law's temper very well. When he was in a good mood, it didn't matter what jokes you made with him, but once it got down to business, he would show no mercy when he disciplined or imprisoned people.
"There is also intelligence." Wang Hengyue's eyes fell on Dai Li of the Military Commander and Yu Lei of the Central Commander: "Please pay more attention to the intelligence. How is the Red Army in Japan? To what extent has the domestic economy of the United States recovered?
?How are the Nazis in Germany developing now? Every day when I get to the office, I have to put these materials on my desk. If you want money, I will give you money; if you want people, I will give you people; if you want rights, I will give them
You have the right. But there is going to be trouble in the intelligence department. Yu Lei and Dai Li, please take off your hats and wash your necks!"
Yu Lei and Dai Li both looked ordinary, and there was no expression on their faces.
"Do your job seriously and don't give me illegitimate children!" When he said this, Wang Hengyue took a special look at Yu Lei. These words were obviously meant for him.
Yu Lei remained calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him...
"Speaking of intelligence, Fang Yunna." Wang Hengyue's voice softened obviously: "You are the one that reassures me the most. You haven't even built a family yet, and you only have work in your eyes. That's good. Once the war breaks out
, your Strategic Intelligence Bureau will be the top priority. The victory of a battle, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, will all start from you!"
Yang Fangyun nodded silently: "Yes, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau is preparing to expand again, and I have applied to double the funding..."
"One time is not enough!" Wang Hengyue blurted out without even thinking: "Please carefully write a report on the specific matters..."
After explaining some things carefully, Wang Hengyue's tone became a little heavy:
"Hurry up, my officers and officials, don't regard the war as a gamble. Whoever thinks so will lose this war. There is no room for fun in the war. Fifty million, our population in China
It has almost reached 50 million. We must be responsible for these 50 million people in this war! If we lose this war, we are not even qualified to be called national sinners. We only deserve to be swept into the garbage heap of history, and then
The younger generations will also suffer shame along with us..."
This meeting lasted for six hours and had only one purpose:
war!
Everything is for the upcoming and inevitable war!
After the meeting, Chief of National Defense Zhang Xiaohuai and Chief of Staff Jiang Baili were left alone: "One of our military cooperation plans with Germany will only send a secret mission to Germany this year. Look who will be the leader of this mission.
good?"
Zhang Xiaohuai said with a smile: "Hengshuai kept the two of us because he already had a candidate in mind. Brother Baili studied in Germany in his early years and is relatively familiar with Germany. This time it is him."
"I also mean Baili." Wang Hengyue glanced at Jiang Baili: "Baili, put your work aside for the time being and go to Germany to see their development. Germany's development is very important to us. There is no leakage.
You can’t even get out.”
Jiang Baili nodded.
"Actually, we are preparing for war, but I have no intention of getting involved in the war from the beginning..." Wang Hengyue revealed his voice in front of them: "The beginning of the war, in a precise sense, will be a proxy war.
It is a human war, so whoever can seize the most appropriate opportunity to intervene in the war will take the initiative in the war."
This is a proxy war, and Wang Hengyue is very clear about this.
Preparing for war does not mean joining the war immediately!
"Call Dai Li."
When Dai Li came to Wang Hengyue, Wang Hengyue asked directly: "How are those Japanese doing now?"
"Guerrilla warfare is ongoing."
"Let them increase their intensity and take the initiative to attack the Japanese army."
"yes."
"Tell Suzuki Masahiro and the others that the current difficulties are only temporary. Soon, our troops will land in Japan. The Red Army's victory will be a matter of time, but before that, I will never allow any mistakes!"
