At 1:30 a.m. on the day, the latest military intelligence was sent to the General Office by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

In the conference room, Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin, Zong Yingren, Ye Zhisheng, Yan Shanglong, Xiang Yinghui, Lu Chengwen, Lin Xiaolei, Zhang Zhongxian, Li Cunxun and others sat upright, while looking through the documents in their hands, listening to the explanations of senior staff.

Many people were puzzled by letting Gu Weimin attend the senior decision-making meeting.

According to the "tradition", Gu Weimin, who served as the chairman of the plenary congress, was not "qualified" to participate in the strategic decision-making meeting. At least during Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong's administration, he never invited the all-congress chairman to participate in the strategic decision-making meeting. Because it was Wang Yuanqing's firm opposition that Gu Weimin was unable to serve as Premier of the State Council, so when Wang Yuanqing "invited" Gu Weimin to attend the strategic decision-making meeting at the General Staff Department, many people were not sure what Wang Yuanqing meant.

As the latest information arrived, the conference room suddenly became lively.

"Quiet!" Xiang Yinghui knocked on the table and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

After flipping through the printed item, Wang Yuanqing glanced at the participants and his eyes fell on Gu Weimin. Gu Weimin had no expression and seemed to want to express any opinions.

"Director Li, you explain the situation in detail for your family."

Li Cunxun nodded, ordered Xiaobin to arrange assistance to work, and walked up to the podium.

"The most satellite reconnaissance information shows that Japan is about to send troops to Taiwan." Li Cunxun pointed out the key points straight to the point and also mentioned the things that everyone is concerned about. "The two Japanese divisions stationed in Okinawa have entered combat state, and the first batch of large transport aircraft have arrived at Kadena Air Force Base. Another two batches of transport aircraft will arrive before dawn. It is concluded that the Japanese army will send at least one division of troops to Taiwan by air transport to assist the rebels in attacking Taoyuan.

According to the photos below, the Japanese fleet deployed at Yokosuka Port is making preparations for the port and is expected to leave the military port in eight hours, which coincides with the time when the Japanese army sent ground troops to Taiwan. In terms of air force, because we did not make any move to send troops to Taiwan, the Japanese combat aircraft deployed in the Okinawa Islands were enough to seize air supremacy and cover the transport fleet to Taiwan. The Japanese army was very prepared, which was enough to prove that the Japanese army had already formulated relevant combat plans."

"Can we prevent the Japanese army from landing in Taiwan?" Zong Yingren asked.

Li Cunxun smiled faintly and turned his eyes to Yuan Qing.

"Stopping the Japanese army from landing in Taiwan is not our primary goal." Wang Yuanqing nodded to Li Cunxun. Military Intelligence Director stood aside. "From the beginning to the end, we are looking for opportunities to start a war with Japan. Although the things happened during this period will make everyone think that we are preparing to regain southern Tibet. However, it is a matter of making trouble in South Asia to force Japan to take a fatal step in the direction of war. We will definitely regain southern Tibet. But it is not now. The Indian-Pakistan army has exchanged fire in Kashmir. Everyone thinks that we will send troops to help Pakistan deal with India as promised. For this reason, Japan decided to take action in Taiwan. It hopes to have an impact on our combat operations in South Asia. In order to obtain a sufficient reason for war, we cannot not stop the Japanese army from landing in Taiwan. We also have to allow the Japanese army to land in Taiwan smoothly."

Zong Yingren didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Gu Weimin.

As a participant in the action, Zong Yingren had long known Wang Yuanqing's intentions. He raised this question at the meeting just to make Gu Weimin more clear about the situation in front of him.

Gu Weimin hesitated and said, "What is the attitude of the United States?"

Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and nodded at Li Cunxun again.

"The US fleet deployed at Apula Military Port in Guam had already left the port last night." Li Cunxun asked Liu Xiaobin to replace with a satellite photo. "The satellite photo just received shows that the US fleet deployed at Pearl Harbor is making preparations for the port. In addition, the US fleet deployed in the Gulf and Mediterranean are moving eastward.

All signs indicate that the country believes that we are about to declare war on India. From this we can see that Japan has not informed the United States of its military operations. Although the United States has long put forward a stance in supporting India, we have enough reason to believe that the United States will not oppose us on the Taiwan issue, or at least will not openly send troops to Taiwan."

Gu Weimin frowned slightly and said, "The United States has passed legislation to defend Taiwan, the US President..."

"It has been confirmed that it was not Frederick who advocated withdrawing troops from the peninsula, but Westwood." Wang Yuanqing said while picking up a cigarette. "The United States cannot defend South Korea, why should it turn against us for Taiwan? After Westwood took office, he tried his best to improve relations with us, and even took the initiative to build a 'binary world' with our country. The United States did pass legislation to clarify the obligation to defend Taiwan, but will Westwood take the risk of going to war with us? Let's not talk about the issue of war, as long as we make up our minds and be able to complete unification before foreign forces intervene. The United States only promised to defend Taiwan, but did not promise to send troops to stop it because Taiwan and the mainland achieved peaceful reunification. We have enough reason to believe that even if Japan takes military action, the United States will not follow up."

Gu Weimin was a little late.

What.

"From a military perspective, the United States is not ready for war." Xiang Yinghui continued Wang Yuanqing's words and explained, "From the intelligence already mastered, only the fleet is gathering towards the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, and neither the United States' ground forces nor the air force have been adjusted. Even if the United States does not intend to take ground actions, it should mobilize air force. From this, it can be concluded that the United States is just doing things, providing India with material assistance at most, and will not really participate in the war in the Western Pacific."

"The key question is whether it is necessary for us to fight a total war with Japan."

When everyone heard Wang Yuanqing's words, including Li Cunxun, showed a look of surprise. After noticing that Wang Yuanqing turned to Gu Weimin's gaze, everyone reacted.

"First of all, we must admit that we cannot tolerate a Japan with nuclear weapons, especially devastating power." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Gu Weimin again and said, "When Japan developed nuclear weapons, we considered declaring war on Japan. However, due to the influence of the international situation at that time, we did not take this step. After the Peninsula War, we made many diplomatic efforts, including compromise with the United States on the issue of prisoners of war, without exception, to make Japan give up its nuclear weapons. What is the result? Everyone knows that Japan not only did not promise to give up its nuclear weapons, but instead expanded its nuclear arsenal and concentrated its national strength to develop strategic strike capabilities. According to the information already mastered, Japan not only created atomic bombs and enhanced atomic bombs, miniaturizing the warhead, but also completed theoretical research on the bombs. At the latest, the first thermonuclear fusion device will be manufactured to lay the foundation for the production of hydrogen bombs. Is Japan controlled by the military government reasonable? "

The conference room was silent, and Gu Weimin's expression became much more serious.

"Facts have repeatedly proved that Japan is not only rational, but also not worthy of our trust." Wang Yuanqing glanced at everyone with a serious expression and said, "Everyone here knows how powerful the atomic bomb is. Even if it is a reinforced atomic bomb, the power of the explosion will not exceed one million tons of equivalents at most. How powerful is the bomb? At least so far, no one can prove the design limit of the bomb's explosion equivalent. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union once tried to explode a 50 million tons bomb on Shindi Island, proving that the explosion's power is enough to destroy all artificial facilities within a radius of 500 kilometers and cause damage to equipment within a range of 1,000 kilometers. Information released after the Cold War proved that the Soviet Union had planned to experiment with 100 million tons of bombs. What would it be like if Japan made a bomb?

If there is no other guarantee, one thing is certain that the 'national strategic defense system' we now have will be useless. Japan does not need to load missiles into missiles or throw them with fighter jets. It only needs to detonate in its western waters to create an unprecedented tsunami and destroy my country's eastern coastal areas. What will happen? The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami is enough to illustrate the problem. The eastern coastal areas are the most developed and most populous areas in my country. According to the conclusion calculated by computer simulations, a tsunami of 10 million tons of hydrogen bombs is enough to kill tens of millions of people, turning coastal cities including Shanghai into Wangyang Ze. Can we bear such losses, or tolerate such threats?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tighter, and the soldiers were even more excited.

"Five years ago, we had a glimmer of hope for negotiations, but the facts over the past five years have proved that negotiations can only give Japan more time and will not bring us stronger security." Wang Yuanqing wiped out the cigarette butts and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "There is no choice, there is no need for a choice.

Since Japan has not yet promised to give up nuclear weapons, and has been developing nuclear weapons more vigorously, we should take practical actions to eliminate the threat that is enough to destroy us."

"If a large-scale war is launched, how much chance of winning do we have?" Gu Weimin changed the topic.

Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and looked at Xiang Yinghui.

"The combat plan has been planned. If Japan's strategic counterattack capabilities can be destroyed when the war begins, we will have a chance of winning more than 80%. "Xiang Yinghui breathes a sigh of relief and said, "The Air Force can complete strategic transfer and war preparations within 24 hours, and the fleet can enter the Western Pacific within 48 hours. The first airborne force can immediately enter the battle after the combat operation begins. The number of ground combat forces needs to be invested mainly based on the final purpose of the war. Whether it is necessary to attack Japan's mainland or to fight only on peripheral islands will be determined by the development of the war."

"It is mainly whether the people can accept such a war?"

"So we need sufficient reasons for war!" Wang Yuanqing quickly answered Gu Weimin's question. "If the reputation is not right, the words are not right. What happened after the Peninsula War proves that we must consider the people's attitude towards the war. If there is no sufficient reason, we will lose the support of our citizens. The descendants of Yan and Huang will not tolerate Japan's hindering us from achieving national reunification. The Japanese army's arrival on Taiwan is a signal of the beginning of the war!"

Seeing Wang Yuanqing's attitude was firm, Gu Weimin didn't say anything more. (To be continued,)
