Chapter 511: Troop Transfer
"Young marshal, the regular soldiers are already there. What are the three ways of the three strange soldiers? Zhang Zuolin said in surprise. The battle plan formulated by Jiang Baili was only read by Feng Yong alone, and everyone didn't know it, and now that the war was going to start, he naturally wanted to understand it clearly.
"The Three-Way Warrior is still being prepared, so I won't say it so as not to leak the news. Father, although the use of soldiers is the most powerful, but in the current form of China, frontal war is the king. And the reason why the strange soldier is called the strange soldier is because of his strange words, so before the strange soldier is completely sure, their news is still a secret. Feng Yong smiled and didn't say anything carefully. Jiang Baili nodded, he agreed with Feng Yong's statement. Although the few people in front of him are completely trustworthy. But this kind of secret news, one more person knows. There is a greater danger of leakage. And the specific situation of the strange soldier is only known to Jiang Baili and Feng Yong. After all, Feng Yong led the whole country, and Jiang Baili led the formulation of all the battle plans. The two sides are dark and bright, which can just assist each other.
"It's fine. We just need to do our job now. Li Jun said with a smile. He understands that the most important thing in the effective implementation of a battle plan is the preservation of intelligence. The more people know about a piece of information, the less likely it is that it will be fully effective. This war is related to the future trend and destiny of the whole of China, and there must be no mistake in any way. Moreover, with the minds of a few people, they can generally analyze the origin of the surprise soldiers, but after all, that is just speculation, and fully understanding the battle plan is not the same thing.
"Young marshal, will the SS participate in this operation?" Zhang Zuolin thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"The SS is not going to war for the time being." Feng Yong said in a deep voice.
Zhang Zuolin was a little disappointed. You know, the current SS is no longer the SS of the original two regiments. After the war with Japan, the SS, which had experienced blood and fire, swelled at a rapid rate. Now it is a veritable army-level establishment, and the total strength has expanded from 6,000 in two regiments to 50,000 in two divisions. The SS was the most elite unit under the Beijing government, both in terms of the number of troops and the size of the weapons. All advanced weapons developed by Beijing were given priority to equipping the SS. If nothing else, the armored vehicles that shone in the war against Japan alone were enough for the size of a regiment. In addition, the firepower of the SS artillery regiment was also extremely terrifying, not to mention that the SS special forces -- the "Dragon's Teeth" -- were selected from the special combat units of various military districts of the Wehrmacht, and the strict elimination rate was terrifying. Now the SS is stationed in the western suburbs of Beijing. A large area of land has been encircled as a military restricted area, and the internal situation is difficult for Zhang Zuolin and others to count clearly. However, Zhang Zuolin knew that although the SS claimed to have only one army, it had a complete set of various arms and was an elite veteran selected from various military regions, and its combat effectiveness was enough to resist the other elite two or three armies of the Northeast Military Region on the frontal battlefield. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zuolin, who personally led the army to the battlefield, coveted such a force.
Jiang Baili also secretly said that it was a pity. He is different from Zhang Zuolin, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, the actual chief of staff, he is one of the few people who fully understands the internal situation of the SS, although the SS is under the banner of the National Independence Party, but everyone knows that the SS is Feng Yong's personal guard, and everyone in it is a fanatical loyalist of Feng Shaoshuai, plus they have experienced harsh selection and training, and they are a group of crazy people who are completely desperate to fight when they fight. If the SS was able to enter the war, it would be able to become a key force on the battlefield with its weaponry far superior to that of other units. Although Jiang Baili was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht and the de facto chief of staff of the Wehrmacht, he did not intervene in the construction of the SS, and Feng Yong seemed to deliberately separate the Wehrmacht from the SS. The Wehrmacht was accountable to the government and the Wehrmacht Command, while the SS was only responsible to Feng Yong alone. It was precisely because of this understanding that Jiang Baili did not include the SS when formulating the battle plan.
In the end, the crowd didn't say anything more about the strange soldiers. Jiang Baili explained the specific military deployment of the Fourth Route Army.
On that day, the headquarters of the Wehrmacht ordered one after another, and one telegram after another mobilized more than one million Wehrmacht troops on a large scale. As with Beijing's infiltration into other regions, other forces also have pervasive infiltration in Beijing. What's more, this large-scale military mobilization in Beijing is extremely high-profile, and all forces in the country can easily get the news. Since you choose to attack head-on, you have to gather power. The Northeast Army defeated Japan and forced it to sign an armistice agreement, which showed China's prestige and made the Northeast Army famous all over the world. Only a few months have passed, and under the deliberate propaganda of the Beijing government, the prestige of the Northeast Army has not weakened, but has become more mysterious and powerful. This mobilization of hundreds of thousands of elite troops to the south produced a powerful force that was enough to shake the foundation of Beiyang. In history, Cao Cao led his army south, but the army had not yet arrived, and the power alone made Cai Mao in Jingzhou surrender in a hurry. Feng Yong also used this method. Beiyang is not monolithic, but it is difficult to completely eliminate the remnants of all factions in the direct victory, after all, within Beiyang, many people are vacillating between multiple factions, and it is these people that the elite of the Wehrmacht wants to target when they go south.
The movement of the Wehrmacht shook the whole of China, and the forces of the Far East were also paying close attention. The Tsarist Governor's Office in the Far East immediately reported this information to Moscow, the Tsarist headquarters. When Tsar Nicholas II received the news, he gloated and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, China is no longer a decadent country that can be bullied by others, and the million-strong army of the Wehrmacht still has a great deterrent to Tsarist Russia. And now the Tsarist Army within Tsarist Russia has finally confined the revolutionary army to the vicinity of St. Petersburg after an emergency transfer. The flames of revolution were stopped, but it was difficult to eat them completely. The current Romanov dynasty was financially stretched and it was difficult to pacify the interior, let alone open up new battlefields. And China and Tsarist Russia have territorial disputes, and the Tsarist Far East Governor's Office looks strong, but the Tsar also understands that with more than 100,000 troops of the Far East Army, it is impossible to be China's opponent at all. Therefore, after the purchase of weapons was rejected, Tsarist Russia swallowed that breath aggrievedly. Now there is a war in China, and the Far East is safe all of a sudden. The biggest enemy in the hearts of the Russians entered the world war, and although Tsarist Russia withdrew from the Entente, Japan would not send troops to Tsarist Russia during World War I under the coordination of the British. This gave the tsar the opportunity to extinguish the internal flames.
The tsar was in a good mood and naturally praised the governor of the Far East. Under the operation of Rasputin, a favored vassal, the tsarist government allocated part of the funds from the tight finances to the Far East to strengthen the Far Eastern government. Of course, most of this money ended up in Rasputin's hands, recovering the wealth he had lost in St. Petersburg. It can be said that China's decision to proceed has made everyone in Shahe happy. The tsar was at ease, Rasputin was profitable, and the Far Eastern Governor's Office was named and trusted, killing three birds with one stone.
For Japan, the emperor is also in a good mood. In his mind, China's wars took place under the wise leadership of Emperor Taisho. Moreover, if China is plunged into a full-scale civil war, the pace of development will be completely disrupted. If the empire further fuels the flames and plunges China into the quagmire of war, then China will no longer be a stumbling block to the empire's domination of the Far East.
"Terauchi, you're doing a good job. I hope you will continue to work hard to keep China in the quagmire of war. Whether the empire can dominate the Far East in the future depends on your means. Emperor Taisho looked kindly at Masaki Terauchi and said.
"Hayi, Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister will do everything he can to consume the strength of Shina." Masaki said loudly. To be honest, for the changes in China, Terauchi Zhengyi can't say what he is suffering. In today's China, Beijing is the dominant one, with an army of more than 1.6 million far exceeding the total strength of other forces, Beiyang has seven provinces, and the war potential is great, but the Beiyang system is rigid, and the direct line has only just grasped the power of the high-level, but the bottom is still the old foundation of Beiyang, and the reserve force is weak. In addition, Beiyang has just pacified the civil strife and its forces have been greatly damaged, and once all the forces in the Northeast are concentrated, it is still unknown whether Beiyang can hold on. Of course, these Terauchi Masatsuki will not say it. After all, the atmosphere at the top of the entire empire is now overjoyed by the turmoil in China, and Terauchi Masashi doesn't want to risk the world.
"Marshal Yama, I have heard that the British constantly ask us to send troops to the West, and the Americans are involved in this. Imperial soldiers don't fight for foreign lands. But the Navy could be strengthened. Emperor Taisho looked at Yama Prefecture Aritomo, who had a good face, and said.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will deploy a battleship to the West to participate in the Entente escort. Shan County Youpeng said.
"Yo Xi, gentlemen, all for the future of the empire." Emperor Taisho stood up and said loudly. Trying to exude the aura of the king to intimidate the ministers, but his dry body, like a funny monkey in an imperial robe, such an action made people laugh in vain.
The mobilization of the national defense army in Beijing has attracted the attention of the whole of China, among which Beiyang has also accelerated the mobilization of troops-for-tat, and at the same time issued a conscription order. For a time, the originally stable environment in Beiyang became a mess of chickens and dogs.
In the Liangguang region, Li Zongren, an upstart who was originally aggressive on the battlefield, also stopped the pace of war. Lu Rongting of the Gui Department was overjoyed and used this rare time to restore his strength. During this period, Li Zongren, who occupied Guangzhou, continued to raise troops to fight, and united with the Kuomintang party army to continuously attack the Gui system, and the Gui department was counterattacked by several organized troops, but suffered heavy losses, and now the land of the Gui system in Guangdong has been occupied by Li Zongren. The two sides are still deployed to confront each other with large armies.
