Chapter 32 The So-called Plan

.10 am. Xishan Base Camp War Command Center.

Zheng Yu looked at Chen Huan on the stage and his brows gradually frowned.

"... Considering that the Russian army's combat effectiveness was lower than expected, the army believed that it could appropriately consider revising the original combat plan." Chen Huan held a teaching stick in his white glove and drew a casually on the map. "My original plan was too deep, and the Russian army was already a frightened bird after the attack of our defense force. If according to the established plan, the Russian army was afraid of war and did not dare to go deep rashly, then all plans would become a cake. Therefore, the army proposed to the base camp to advance the final defense line and gathered the main force of the Baikal front at the Darkhan line."

"The Northeast War Zone, the Second Japanese Fleet was destroyed, the Third Russian Fleet and the Third Japanese Fleet were severely damaged, and the enemy had lost the power of the Yellow Sea." Chen Huan's instruction stick pointed at the east side of the map. "At present, the main force of the Japanese-Russian Joint Fleet was bound by our mobile fleet on the front line of Ryukyu, and our Navy's rapid formation had already grasped the power of the Yellow Sea. If the navy could ensure the long-term power of the Yellow Sea, the army requested the base camp, part of the Marine Corps, to cooperate with the army, land in Busan or Incheon, and attack the main combat corps of the Japanese army in Korea, first restore North Korea to boost the morale of the people in the country, and further shake Japan's combat determination."

"As long as the Japanese army is annihilated, Japan's combat will be lost," Chen Huan said loudly, "Once Japan takes the lead in withdrawing from the war, Russia will be alone and unable to speak out."

Zheng Yu looked at the overseas returnee general who was talking, and his temples swelled in waves.

He knows why these people have proposed such a proposal.

The National Defense Force became a rebel in the mutiny, and was embarrassed and punished. The whole army was full of anger and wanted to recover the lost face in the national war. Especially for the navy, which stood on the side of the royal family and showed off its limelight in the fight against the rebellion, the already deep resentment of the National Defense Force was even more unforgettable, and they never forget to grab the limelight of the navy in everything.

This time, the navy won consecutive naval battles. The one who could not sit still was the dwarf army, especially the national defense force system. According to the plan, the army would make great strides in some war zones and lure the enemy into the depths. However, in this way, the national defense force, which was already in a mess, would have to bear greater pressure at home and face the huge opposition from the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers within. The one who was under the greatest pressure was undoubtedly the senior officers of the General Staff who formulated combat plans.

But Zheng Yu knew that all this was for the final victory and the sacrifice that the army must make.

But the Army finally had its own position and thoughts. At this moment, Chen Huan finally proposed his own combat policy on behalf of the Army. In Zheng Yu's opinion, this is absolutely impossible to accept.

Zheng Yu's eyes turned to the veteran, and saw that Jiang Sheng was still in an impeccable perfect military appearance, his face was as iron as iron, but he just looked ahead silently, and did not seem to notice that Zheng Yu was looking at him.

Zheng Yu looked at it for a while and turned his gaze to Xu Fan. He saw the Marshal's eyes slightly closed, like an old monk entering into meditation, with a calm expression, as if nothing had to do with him.

A nameless fire suddenly surged up in Zheng Yu's heart. But he also knew that the Navy would not be able to take the initiative to object to this matter. Speaking of which, of course, he, the emperor, could only hold on to the situation at this time.

"Simply put, the Army believes that after the war begins, the original plan needs to be revised. The original plan for the reason is too conservative." Zheng Yu's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotions, but Chen Huan felt a little uneasy for some reason, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Sheng, "Is there anything wrong with my understanding?"

"Your Majesty," Chen Huan bowed slightly, "The army colleagues are grateful for the grace of the holy people, and they all work hard to think about avenging the national humiliation. In addition, all colleagues know that the country is lacking, so this battle should be decided quickly. It is useless to delay for a long time. Since the Russian army is weak and the power of the Japanese people and seas is gradually losing, it is better to take advantage of the situation and sweep away the devil's atmosphere. Our empire's millions of steel troops will flatten the Far East and drink horses in the North Sea just around the corner..."

Zheng Yu nodded: "Okay, I know the loyalty and courage of the army. I am grateful to you for your sincerity, so you can sit down first."

Chen Huan respectfully saluted and returned to his seat.

Zheng Yu looked around everyone and his eyes fell on Jiang Sheng: "General Jiang, how dare you ask if this is the opinion of General Manager Lu's Battle Office, or the opinion of the nobles? Or the opinion of the National Defense Forces? Has it obtained the support of all front-line troops? The combat plan has been adjusted just a week after the war started, and you always have to give an explanation."

At the end, Zheng Yu was slightly stern.

Jiang Sheng's expression on his face was a little complicated. He looked at the young emperor silently, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a plan formulated after discussion by President Lu, but the purpose is only for reference by the base camp. General Lu also considered that the country is currently in a bit unstable, and once the Russian army penetrates deep into the border, something that is difficult to grasp will happen. In this battle, as long as we establish our advantages and force Japan to negotiate peace, we can achieve our goal. At that time, we should purify the internal affairs well. When our country is stabilized, it will not be too late to settle the accounts with the Russians..."

Chen Huan was shocked. In fact, he and other colleagues of the National Defense Forces thought very simply, that is, they must not let the navy cover the limelight of the army, nor can they let the army be criticized for losing their territory. Chen Huan wanted to gain a foothold in the country in the future and to continue in the system of the National Defense Forces, so they could not bear the name of being timid and stolen by the national defense force. In his opinion, this young emperor, with a new official, was probably thinking about establishing authority, using his great martial arts to suppress the undercurrents in the country, get rid of the shadow cast by the too dazzling former emperor as soon as possible, and make his own name.

In his opinion, since the chief executive expressed his support for his plan, he should have the same considerations as others. But he did not expect that the veteran actually took the opportunity to determine the victory early and then discuss plans to withdraw the troops.

He looked at the veteran who had been suppressed by Mu Tie and finally climbed to the position. He had no idea how this army boss who should have become a talented person would have done such a thankless thing if this word was spread, Jiang Sheng's reputation among the middle and lower levels of the National Defense Forces would probably be in a higher level.

What about that emperor? What would you think of this veteran?

At this moment, Zheng Yu finally confirmed that his view of Jiang Sheng was not wrong.

He knew that Jiang Sheng's words would be a little dim in the hearts of the young and strong officers who were eager to make contributions in the middle and lower classes. Even among senior officers, his prestige, as the general, would probably suffer considerable damage.

This is a soldier with a view of the overall situation, but also a soldier who is irrelevant. This person has a quality that the soldiers of this era, especially the upper-class soldiers, need the most, but also the most difficult to possess: state affairs are the most important and selfless.

Zheng Yu nodded to Jiang Sheng and expressed his appreciation: "General Jiang is indeed Lao Cheng's country. It seems that General Lu's proposal also takes into account the national situation, which is very good..."

Zheng Yu's eyes swept over Chen Huan's face. Chen Huan felt a little uncomfortable and felt a little nervous.

"I don't think Chen Er'an's plan is undesirable," Zheng Yu said slowly, "But if the war has begun, the entire war plan needs to be temporarily changed, unless the situation is completely different, the original plan does not have the need and possibility of implementation, or the new plan completely overwhelms the old combat plan."

"In my opinion, the current situation has not yet been separated from the original verdict. The Empire's original Nandou 7 combat plan is still the most suitable situation for the current situation." Zheng Yu's words made Chen Huan's heart sink suddenly. "I know what you are worried about is that there is nothing more than a little uneasy within the country. Once the front line is not smooth, will the rebel party take the opportunity to make chaos? It's just that the National Defense Forces have been criticized before, and if there is a loss of troops and territory, I'm afraid that public opinion and internal pressure are relatively high. You don't want to take this reputation, but also afraid that military damage will be harmed. It's just that you think I, a young man, cannot hold back and will be in a hurry at that time."

Although Zheng Yu's words had already given these people a face, they still made many senior army officials feel uncomfortable, and Chen Huan's face turned pale and sweat was seen on his forehead.

"But I want to tell you that military affairs are not a joke. Although I am not a general on the battlefield, I also know that war is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be taken lightly." Zheng Yu slowly stood up, his eyes were stern, and he said firmly, "Stable the country is my business; stabilizing the army is your affairs. If you have confidence in this army, you don't have to think too much."

"The details of the Nandou 7 plan have been repeatedly pondered. The whole north has made so much preparations for this plan. The troops are organized, deployed, the construction of stations and roads, personnel arrangements, and the preparation of train wands. Everything is ready. At this time, such a big adjustment, especially changing the troops from deep defense to attacking forward, is a complete adventure and the biggest waste." Zheng Yu's voice became louder, "It's just a victory in an outpost battle, with ambition but no intention, and a little bit of advantage. Some people began to habitually overestimate themselves and underestimate the enemy. What kind of country is Russia? Napoleon was all bloody in front of Russia. The whole Europe was defeated in front of Russia. Do you dare to underestimate the enemy?"

"Yes, the Russian army has many problems. I... all know." Zheng Yu's voice rose several times, "But what qualifications do we have to be proud of ourselves? Our country was founded, facing the coalition forces of Russia and Japan, and there are so many old powers eyeing them. There are not many opportunities to make mistakes. We are not qualified to be complacent, lying on the dream of the country above the heavens and the great dream of the spring and autumn of all countries coming to the court."

At this moment, the army officers who had been talking big at the celebration banquet before, and even many naval soldiers who were a little proud recently could not help but lower their heads slightly.

Zheng Yu looked at these Chinese soldiers who should not have appeared in this era, and his heart was filled with extremely complex emotions.

He did not think these people were really hopeless, but he also knew how dangerous it would be for the future of this country if he lets this idea continue. He understood that these people's arrogance was actually the root cause of the rebound caused by years of weakness and humiliation. It was a natural intoxication and desire for revenge after avenging shame, and it was also a violent tremor caused by a spring after a long period of pressure.

Zheng Yu did not want to destroy this spirit. In his opinion, this spirit is actually a unique complex that every nation that has suffered humiliation will have when it rises, and it is also one of the spiritual driving forces to promote the rapid rejuvenation of the country. But once this emotion is let go, especially for the army, the consequences caused are also unbearable to Zheng Yu.

"I treat people with their words and deeds, their true intentions, and their results." Zheng Yu's tone slowed down, but these words were as if they were in the hearts of everyone, and they were as if they were Hong Zhong and Dalu were so enchanting. "General Jiang is dedicated to the country, so he proposed this. I will take him loyal to the country and be selfless. Some people, I think I am afraid that I will consider myself more, consider more small groups, and consider more of my own belongings."

"Although I am young, I was taught by His Majesty. I know the importance of it." Zheng Yu's words sounded particularly harsh. "I will not use hundreds of thousands or millions of lives to gamble for some reasons, nor will I use the country's fortunes to bet for some irrelevant fantasies."

"You want to please me?" Zheng Yu's eyes were extremely cold and his words were extremely heartbroken. Many people could no longer help but want to take out their handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat on their faces. "There is only one way."

"The world is for the public, do things well." Zheng Yu's voice echoed throughout the conference hall, "If things are done well, there are naturally many benefits. You want to contribute to my preferences. Sorry, you misread the wrong person."

At this time, many people's bodies trembled slightly, and many people looked at Zheng Yu in horror. Many people couldn't help but think of this person who had purged the National Defense Forces. They made drastic rectification in the country and couldn't help but sweat.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, looked at Zheng Yu, and then looked at the officials who had changed their hair and color, and then looked at many officials with excitement. He resisted the unwelcome, and his face was solemn.

"You are all meritorious people in the country and talented people." After a while, Zheng Yu said quietly, "The words I just said are to warn you. There is a saying that is good, if there is any, it will be corrected if there is nothing."

"My command will not support idle people or flatterers." Zheng Yu said, "I am not specifically targeting anyone. The most important thing is to remind you, and to remind you how the officials under my command are the law."

Everyone was shocked at this moment. Seeing that Zheng Yu didn't seem to have the intention of delving into it immediately, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some people took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their sweat with a wry smile.

"Okay, don't waste resources in this case of the Army. I'll say here: The Nandou 7 plan will continue to be implemented, so that's it." Zheng Yu finished speaking in an unquestionable tone, glanced at Xu Fan, and his tone eased a little. "The army's concerns about war costs, social stability, economic group, propaganda group, and internal affairs group must pay attention to it, make practical plans, and submit them to me within three days."

"You can solve the problems within the army by yourself." Zheng Yu looked at Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng stood up and saluted. Zheng Yu glanced at Chen Huan again. Seeing that the German returnee's face had recovered from calmness, the anger in his heart was calmed down. "If this problem cannot be solved, then I will be very worried about whether you can still be competent for your current position."

Chen Huan's heart tightened and he couldn't help but nodded.

afternoon.

Zheng Yu patted the neck of the horse under his crotch and walked slowly. Xu Fan fell behind slightly. The two of them walked slowly in the horse farm in the mountains with their heads next to each other.

Zheng Yu's life is very regular now. He is determined to be prepared to live a hundred years and fight for the ** for a hundred years. No, it's best for five hundred years. The emperor said that he was really addicted to it. Now he started to move around every morning, his spirit and body were adjusted to the peak, and then he started to work hard until lunch, and he pulled Xu Fan to run around in the afternoon to eliminate food, breathe fresh air, and talk about military affairs and government affairs to deepen his feelings.

"Uncle, aren't you worried about Ryukyu?" Zheng Yu couldn't help but remember the tricky thing in front of him again. "According to your analysis, their next step is to definitely attack Ryukyu... Should we send more troops?"

"Ryukyu has always been the beginning and end of the navy." Xu Fan shook his head, "The navy has put in a lot of effort over the years. It looks like there are not many troops on paper, but in fact it is a dragon pond and tiger den. It is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. It is no exaggeration to say that the island of Ryukyu is a huge fortress."

"In addition, our strength there is not just a Marine Ryukyu Garrison Brigade." Xu Fan smiled strangely, "That brigade was originally a stylistic division, and now it has been expanded into a division, and the preparations for the troops are also double-off. Moreover, the main combat troops are all active soldiers transferred from the south. Most of the elderly, weak women and children in Ryukyu were evacuated to Taiwan and Fujian before the war. The young and strong who stayed voluntarily underwent military training and formed a reserved troops. In addition, the Ryukyu Kingdom Army trained in Ryukyu also organized a brigade, and our engineering troops, fortress artillery units, naval logistics units, sailors, and combat troops stationed in the name of engineering were scattered, with more than 34,000 people."

"How many people can the Japanese come? Even if their Marines are sent here, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people. At most, plus a mobilization division of the army, at most 50,000 people." Xu Fan smiled, "This is already the best. In fact, I doubt that they can only send 30,000 to 40,000 people at most. With just such a small amount of troops, it may not be difficult to capture the main island of Ryukyu in the Japanese, but in my opinion, it is really not easy."

Zheng Yu was even more worried when he heard this: "Uncle, you said that although the troops in Ryukyu seem to be quite large, they are from different systems, especially there are too many Ryukyu locals. These Ryukyu people have always been a little confused with the Japanese. Many of them are still descendants of Japanese people, here..."

"It's all identified." Xu Fan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm still very careful about these things. Although these troops seem a bit messy, they are actually commanded, deployed and trained by the Ryukyu Garrison Command. We have been prepared for the Japanese to attack Ryukyu."

Zheng Yu's heart moved, and his eyes looked at Xu Fan even more incredible.

"We have already known the conflicts between the Japanese army and the navy for a long time." Xu Fan said with a smile. "As for the tactics of the Japanese navy, we can also roughly infer that it is nothing more than to attack them and to siege and annihilate the main force of our mobile fleet on the preset battlefield. There is nothing more suitable than the main island of Ryukyu. As for why we are sure... because in the history of our time and space, the Japanese like to play like this."

Zheng Yu's body was shocked, and three words appeared in his mind: "Midway Island".

Sure enough, Xu Fan told the story of the battle in Midway Island that year, and Zheng Yu did not show any surprises about aircraft carrier warfare and other things. In private chats before, Xu Fan had talked to him many times about the future naval warfare mode, the evolution of naval equipment and tactics, and repeatedly emphasized that the future is an era of aircraft carriers, so Zheng Yu naturally accepted it with a smile. However, it was not too strange that Xu Fan accepted Zheng Yu so quickly that these sci-fi ideas.

In Xu Fan's opinion, Zheng Yu was not a conservative naval bureaucrat after all, but a young man who was open-minded and willing to accept new things and new ideas did not have so many prejudices in the navy. More importantly, he had enough confidence in his cultivation of Zheng Yu from childhood to adulthood and his influence on Zheng Yu.

"Uncle, if that's the case..." Zheng Yu pondered for a moment, "You are going to use Ryukyu as bait to attract the Japanese and Russian navy there to help the northern army complete the Nandou-7 plan? But what if Japan and Russia really sell their strength and send troops to attack Ryukyu?"

Xu Fan shook his head: "Xiao Yu, the fortifications of Ryukyu... Frankly speaking, let alone the Japanese, I'm afraid that the Germans will be enough for him to drink a pot when they come. That's really solid... Of course, I'm not saying that the Japanese will never attack. It's just that it's difficult for them to get rid of Ryukyu within three months."

"But what if?" Zheng Yu was also a little annoyed that Xu Fan seemed to have always hidden one hand, so he simply acted like a rogue. "I mean, if, for example, the Japanese's heavy artillery hit the underground ammunition depot, for example, the Japanese used several times more soldiers than we thought, for example, someone inside us was shaken..."

Xu Fan was about to laugh it off, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly became silent.

"Uncle, you must have adapted, right?" Zheng Yu looked at Xu Fan with eager eyes, "Tell me, I'll help you with your staff."

Xu Fan looked at Zheng Yu with complicated eyes...
