Chapter 1189: Working with Old Magnesium
If you want to land on the Japanese mainland to fight, there must be many problems to be solved, not only the problem of transporting troops!
With troop carriers, it is not necessarily possible to land in Japan to fight, and this is not the era of cold weapons, and you can fight when you go ashore! Once the Japanese learned of the enemy's landing, they would have built a large number of fortifications on the coast, and without heavy weapons on the coast, they would never have been able to land on those small islands.
The landing operations were quite skilled, and they still lost a lot of troops on the Pacific islands. Iwo Jima alone, the Japanese army did not deploy defenses on the coast, but they were able to inflict heavy losses on the magnesium army.
If Liao Fan was asked to arrange a landing operation, their situation would not be much better than that of the Magnesium Army, first, they had no experience in naval operations, and second, they did not have large landing ships.
This condition alone can limit the troops, so landing on the Japanese mainland or stationing troops in Japan is a sigh of hope.
"When I wait for tomorrow, I will ask them for help in terms of conditions, ship support and personnel training!"
The people of the magnesium country have a lot of experience in this area, and it is not ashamed to bow down to them and learn from them, and it is for the benefit of their own country, not for the benefit of one person.
"Will the people of the magnesium country agree? If they knew that the future adversary would most likely be us, how could they lend us ships? ”
Borrowing a ship is not borrowing the ladder and farm tools of the house next door, but also having a supporting crew and navigation fuel, supporting weapons, ammunition, and maintenance of the ship.
Borrowing a combat ship is equivalent to borrowing a unit from the other side, and casualties and losses must be taken into account!
"No matter in the future, at least we have common interests with them, and now it seems that the people of the magnesium country are a little inflated, and this is the time for us to speak."
The war in Europe is blooming one after another, crushing the original British and French powers! In the Pacific Ocean, they are also approaching the Japanese mainland, and if Liao Fan can do the same, he will definitely be complacent.
Faintly has the ability to be the world's first power, and the people of the magnesium country are naturally inflated!
"It's really not good, just mention the matter of Soviet Russia to them, at least in the next half century, the Russians will become the most troublesome enemy of the magnesium people!" Liao Fan pondered for a moment.
If there is no common interest, we must find a common enemy, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
Although the two countries joined forces to fight in Europe, the fundamental contradiction between the magnesium country and Soviet Russia was not resolved! When they solve their common enemy, their problems naturally begin to be exposed.
"This is a big killer, and if something goes wrong, it may cause a third world war!"
Minister Zhou's worries are very reasonable, the two countries hoarded a lot of war materials during World War II, and the boss of Soviet Russia is a little paranoid, it is not impossible to cause a third world war.
"It's possible, but it's very unlikely! If there really is a third world war, I would rather break out in Europe than in Asia! ”
The Second World War has already cost the world a lot of people, and except for the great power of the magnesium country and Soviet Russia, other countries are no longer capable of participating in the third world war.
"I hope there won't be any more wars!" Minister Zhou said.
"Yes, I don't want a war either, but the Russians are riding on our heads now, and if we don't become stronger, our country will always be shrouded in the shadow of war! If there is a sword hanging over my head every day, I am not restless! ”
On the side of the couch, it allows others to sleep soundly, if Soviet Russia is not adjacent to them, Liao Fan would have gone to his grandmother's place a long time ago, so he didn't have to worry about so many things.
There is no way to have a powerful country above his head, Liao Fan is not at ease even if he dies! This is a major problem that must be solved.
Magnesium Country is naturally Liao Fan's best choice at present, because his country is not strong enough and needs to rely on external forces.
If the magnesium country really wants to embarrass Liao Fan now, Liao Fan will have to take out Soviet Russia as a shield, although the magnesium people know that their next enemy is Soviet Russia.
"By the way, I received a letter from the Chinese people in the magnesium country, they united more than a dozen Chinese representatives, and I want to come to meet you, they are all representatives in various states of the magnesium country."
Minister Zhou remembered that in the early hours of this morning, the secretary handed him a letter with the signatures of more than a dozen Chinese on it.
"Where are they now?"
Before Liao Fan came to the magnesium country, he thought about meeting those Chinese.
"If you see them, I can call them over at any time!"
"Hmm...... What are these people capable of? If it's ordinary Chinese, I can meet them now, and if they're those top scientists, I think it's better to be hidden from them! ”
For the world's top scientists, no matter which country is a treasure, magnesium country is no exception.
During his time in the Magnesium Country, Liao Fan didn't want to make any trouble. You have to be cautious so as not to leave someone with a handle.
In front of the world boss, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down! It's not fear, it's forbearance, it's learning, and only then can they catch up with this boss.
"They are capable, and they also have a patriotic heart! Some of them heard that you were coming, and it took two days and two nights of train to arrive! ”
Some of them are in a foreign country, and they really can't help themselves! These Chinese are on the list of the Ministry of National Defense of the Magnesia, and their every move may even be related to the stability of the national defense of the Magnesia.
"Hmm...... I'm going to see them in the wee hours of the morning! ”
Liao Fan's residence is protected by the people of the Magnesium Country, and these people of the Magnesium Country are also able to monitor Liao Fan!
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Liao Fan is not easy in the magnesium country, and he is always worried about the war in the country! You must know that when the domestic war is victorious, the magnesium country invited him to come to the magnesium country for a trip.
If you haven't won a battle on the battlefield, the magnesium country is too lazy to look at you, and the weak country has no diplomacy!
"Lao Huai, how is the situation in China?"
Huai Yuanliang has always protected Liao Fan and helped Liao Fan deal with some things.
"There was a heavy snowfall in the northeast, and Commander Hu postponed the offensive plan until the beginning of spring next year!"
"What about the battlefield?"
When to attack Liao Fan is not worried, Liao Fan is concerned about what Hu Guoshan's plan is! Now that he has come to the Magnesium Country, they have to achieve results on the battlefield to be able to make the Magnesium people more convinced, and Liao Fan wants the warship to support the Magnesium Country before he can happily agree.
If there are frequent failures, and the warships supported by the magnesium people will also fail, will they come to send them to death or to win the battle?
"After the capture of Tonghua, the Japanese army launched a counterattack, but the counterattack was that the Japanese army was from Fushun, and it is estimated that they were forced to be in a hurry, and they chose to attack Tonghua because they had no way out!"
"How much do we lose?" Liao Fan asked.
"The losses are not much, the casualties are less than 3,000, and the little devils are killed in the battle more than 10,000 people! The main thing is that the weather was too cold, and it is said that it reached more than minus forty degrees that night. ”
"Lao Hu is definitely thinking about the three places of Fushun, Fengtian and Lushun now, which place should he attack first!"
Although he was far away in the magnesium country, Liao Fan did not let go of the domestic war at all. After the battle in Tonghua ended, the war in the northeast was divided into the South Manchurian issue and the North Manchurian issue.
Compared with North Manchuria, South Manchuria is easy to solve, and the Japanese army's strength and defense area are worse than those in North Manchuria!
However, there were still three areas where the Japanese army could be assembled in South Manchuria, namely Fushun, Mukden and Lushun, and these three areas were the biggest problem in South Manchuria.
As long as these three areas are resolved, there will be no more fighting in South Manchuria.
"Brother Fan, do you think it's better to hit that place first?" Huai Yuanliang asked Liao Fan.
"Fushun is the place where you shouldn't fight, the Japanese army here is chicken ribs, it's a pity to abandon it if it's tasteless!"
"Then hit Mukden first?"
"The Japanese forces of Mukden and Lushun must support each other! If it were me, I would choose two to fight together! After both Lushun and Mukden were breached, the Japanese army in Fushun surrendered without a fight. Liao Fan said to Huai Yuanliang.
"Do you want to send a telegram to Commander Hu?"
"No need, Hu Guoshan has a plan and plan to think about him all winter, if he can't figure it out, he won't be the commander-in-chief."
As everyone knows, Hu Guoshan is having a headache about this matter, according to his idea, if he can save troops, he will save troops, and they are almost sick and available in the first battle of Tonghua, which makes Hu Guoshan a little nervous, worried that if he uses troops against Fengtian and Lushun at the same time, there will be no soldiers available at that time.
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Hu Guoshan, who has always been bold in using soldiers, was a little timid for the first time.
In fact, Hu Guoshan also knew that he was no longer the battalion commander of Taihang Mountain, what he had in his hands was a million troops, and if he was not careful, hundreds of thousands of people might die in vain.
Therefore, he kept deducing the possibility of the plan on the sand table in the headquarters, and he had to make sure that nothing went wrong with the use of troops this time.
As for Liao Fan, although he knows the way to use troops, he is not on the northeast front now, so he doesn't understand Hu Guoshan's difficulties at this time. Some things are easier said than done.
Especially in terms of arranging troops, a word from a commander often represents the lives of many soldiers, so many things must be seen in person to be reassured.
At present, Liao Fan's most important task is to complete the journey of the magnesium country and complete the cooperation with the magnesium country.
This cooperation may be able to rely on the magnesium country to build up its own country's navy, and tomorrow there will be a lot of things to talk about with the president of the magnesium country, and he will also meet those Chinese representatives tonight.
For Liao Fan, this trip to the magnesium country was not easy, he had a demand for the magnesium country, and he had to always guard against the magnesium country to set them up.
Liao Fan didn't want his country to become dependent on magnesium like Britain after the war, so it would be difficult to turn over in the future.
All cooperation must be based on equality, and even Liao Fan can spend more money to learn technology, instead of relying on molded weapons and equipment! It's not easy to come to the magnesium country, after crossing the ocean for so long, Liao Fan doesn't get some good things back, he feels sorry for himself.
