Lin Ziran walked in with steady steps, at this time, as usual, he was wearing an ordinary general's summer uniform, but there was no military title on his collar.

After coming in, Lin Ziran went directly to the head of the rectangular table, and Luo Mazi, who was originally following behind, quickly took two steps forward and pulled out a chair for Lin Ziran to sit down.

However, even Luo Mazi, who had a lot of nonsense in the past, did not say a nonsense such as "you sit as an adult" as usual, but after helping Lin Ziran pull out the chair, he consciously took two steps back and went to the first place in a row of chairs on one side of the wall.

In addition to Luo Mazi, the head of the adjutant officer's office of the Marshal's Office, who is also the head of the Military Affairs Investigation Section, there are also the chief of the Adjutant Office's Office, the chief of the Government Affairs Section, the head of the Military Affairs Section and others.

The section chiefs of these adjutants' offices are actually the main responsible persons among Lin Ziran's many adjutants, and they don't seem to have a high political status, and outsiders don't know much about them, but in fact, they are all Lin Ziran's confidants, otherwise they would not be qualified to participate in such an important meeting today.

After Lin Ziran sat down, he raised his right hand, and then pressed down slightly: "Sit down!" ”

At this time, including Wu Guanlin, Luo Mazi and others sat down one after another!

After everyone sat down, Lin Ziran spoke again: "Since everyone has arrived, let's start!" ”

After that, he set his sights on Wu Guanlin!

Wu Guanlin immediately stood up, and at the same time took a thick stack of documents from his briefcase, and the big letterhead on the document read: "General Plan for the Northern Expedition Campaign"

There is also a slightly smaller font size of the word 'top secret' at the back.

After taking out the documents, he stood up and distributed many copies to everyone, and then he began: "According to the current situation of our Daheng, for the future of the 200 million people of Daheng, and for the future of my Daheng nation, on the order of the marshal, my staff department, together with colleagues from other departments, formulated a plan for the Northern Expedition campaign to pacify the northern states and towns and completely unify Daheng. ”

"The Northern Expedition is aimed at eliminating the feudal towns entrenched in the northern states and reuniting Daheng, and in order to achieve the above goals, the battle plan will be in four stages."

"In the first stage, a large number of main forces will be gathered, with the cooperation of the navy, cross the Mihe River, defeat the enemy army and enter Jingzhou, and finally go north along the southern line of the Jingzhou Railway to capture the Beijing Division!"

"In the first stage, we will forcibly attack Jingzhou, although we will encounter certain difficulties because of the large number of enemy troops, but we must conquer Jingzhou as soon as possible and occupy the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, even if we cannot capture the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau in a short time, we must kill the Jingshi as soon as possible and destroy the production of the Machinery Bureau."

"Jingzhou Machinery Bureau is the largest comprehensive arsenal in Daheng, which is huge in scale and advanced in technology."

"At present, with the support of other northern states, the machine bureau has fully switched to the production of various rear-loading rifled weapons, and its production capacity is rising rapidly."

"According to our intelligence, Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwuzhou have imported a large number of engineering and technical personnel and a large number of precision equipment to Jingzhou in the past three months, and Pingnan Prefecture has also provided a lot of financial support and high-quality steel raw materials."

"With the help of various states, the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau produced a total of 20,000 Luo'an III rifles in April, which is not much less than that of the Fuyuan factory!"

"If we add the production capacity of the Luo'an-3 rifle of several other arsenals in the northern states, in fact, the total production capacity of the Luo'an-3 rifle in the seven northern states has already exceeded ours."

"Their artillery production capacity is also climbing very fast, in March the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau produced only about 50 rear-loading guns at most, but in April, they produced more than 150 rear-loading rifled guns of all kinds."

"And its production capacity is still rising rapidly, if we don't interfere, their rear-loading artillery production capacity will reach more than 200 this month."

"The rear-loading rifled weapons and ammunition produced by the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau are not only supplied to the troops of Jingzhou, Gaoqingzhou, and Ningwuzhou, but also to the neighboring Pingnan Prefecture and Bei'an Prefecture."

"This large-scale comprehensive arsenal has become the largest advanced weapons production base in the hands of the feudal towns of the northern states, and its production capacity has reached more than 70 percent of the total production capacity of breech-loading rifled weapons in the northern states."

"If we let it go, it won't be long before they can arm an army with weapons and equipment that doesn't belong to us!"

"Even now, the number of equipment of the three-state coalition army on the north bank of the Mi River is quite a lot, and it has reached more than 200 breech-loading rifled guns, and it is still increasing rapidly."

"For every month of delay, we will face two hundred more enemy artillery pieces and more than 20,000 enemy rifles!"

In the big words in front of Wu Guanlin, he didn't even say much about military deployment, but mostly said about the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, mainly because after the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau was mobilized, the production capacity was too terrifying.

During the Hengao War, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau was one of the several major arsenals in Daheng, and once supplied one-third of the artillery of the entire Daheng Army and Navy.

As for the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, they supplied more than half of the army and navy artillery back then!

In the past few decades, the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau was still the largest comprehensive arsenal in Daheng, not only arming the entire royal army under the control of the Jingzhou Ji Imperial Family, but also selling weapons to make money from other feudal towns.

Now it has the support of the northern states, and this capacity has been completely mobilized.

This Jingzhou Machinery Bureau is too important, and if it can be taken down, then it will be able to directly cut off more than 70 percent of the supply of weapons and ammunition to the allied forces in the northern states.

If they don't take it down, give them a little a year, and they will be able to produce hundreds of thousands of rifles, thousands of breech-loading rifled guns.

The importance of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau greatly affected the layout of the Northern Expedition of the Daheng Unification Army!

In order to make use of the existing technological and equipment advantages as much as possible, in order to establish absolute strategic superiority in the early stage as much as possible, and also to avoid the prolongation of the Northern Expedition, which finally fell into a stalemate.

The opinions of the senior operational staff officers of the General Staff Department and some of the senior generals were very unanimous: Even if they paid a certain price, they should enter Jingzhou at the first time of the war, seize the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, and if they could not seize it, they must destroy it.

When the largest supply base of weapons and ammunition in the seven northern states is eliminated, then the next thing will be easy.

In this way, there was the first phase of the battle plan in the Northern Expedition: forcibly cross the Mihe River, enter Jingzhou, and capture the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.

The battle plan did not even consider dividing the troops to capture other counties in Jingzhou after entering Jingzhou, but ran all the way north along the railway line and directly entered the Jingshi.

Even if it can't capture the Jingshi by then, it will have to destroy the Jingzhou Machine Bureau.
