At 1:30 a.m., the latest military intelligence was sent to the General Headquarters by the Military Intelligence Agency

In the conference room, Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin, Zong Yingren, Ye Zhisheng, Yan Shanglong, Xiang Linghui, Lu Chengwen, Lin Xiaolei, Zhang Zhongxian, Li Cunxun, and others were sitting in a precarious position, looking through the documents in their hands while listening to the explanations of the senior staff officers. 【】

Allowing Gu Weimin to participate in a high-level decision-making meeting made many people puzzled.

According to "tradition," Gu Weimin, who served as chairman of the plenary congress, was not "qualified" to participate in the strategic decision-making meeting, and at least during the administration of Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong, the chairman of the plenary congress was never invited to participate in the strategic decision-making meeting. Because it was Wang Yuanqing's resolute opposition that Gu Weimin failed to become premier of the State Council, when Wang Yuanqing "invited" Gu Weimin to the General Staff Headquarters to attend the strategic decision-making meeting, many people did not understand what Wang Yuanqing meant.

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

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

Flipping through the pieces that had just been printed, Wang Yuanqing glanced at the participants, and his eyes fell on Gu Weimin. Gu Weimin didn't have any expression and didn't seem to want to express any opinions.

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

Li Cunxun nodded, and after instructing Xiaobin to arrange assistance work, he stepped onto the podium.

"The most satellite reconnaissance intelligence indicates that Japan is about to send troops to Taiwan." Li Cunxun pointed out the key points straight to the point, and also talked about the things that everyone cares about. "The 2 divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Okinawa have already entered combat condition, the first large transport aircraft have already arrived at Kadena Air Base, and the other two groups of transport aircraft will arrive before dawn. From this, it was concluded that the Japanese army would send at least one division to Taiwan by air to assist the rebels in attacking Taoyuan. Judging from the photos taken by the satellite, the Japanese fleet deployed in Yokosuka Port is preparing for the port and is expected to leave the port in eight hours, which coincides with the time when the Japanese army is sending ground troops to Taiwan. In terms of air power, because we did not make a move to send troops to Taiwan, the Japanese combat planes deployed in the Okinawa Islands were enough to seize air supremacy and cover the transport fleet to reach Taiwan. The Japanese army was very well prepared, which is enough to prove that the Japanese army had drawn up the relevant battle plan long ago. ”

"Are we capable of preventing the Japanese army from landing on Taiwan?" Zong Yingren asked.

Li Cunxun smiled faintly. turned his gaze to Yuan Qing.

"Preventing the Japanese army from landing on Taiwan is not our primary goal." Wang Yuanqing nodded at Li Cunxun, and the director of the military intelligence bureau stepped aside. "From start to finish. We are all looking for an opportunity for war with Japan. Although things happened during this time. It will make everyone think that we are ready to recover southern Tibet. But the creation of incidents in South Asia was clearly aimed at forcing Japan to take a fatal step in the direction of war. We will definitely regain southern Tibet. Just not now. Indian and Pakistani forces have been fighting in Kashmir, and everyone thinks that we will send troops to help Pakistan deal with India, as promised. For this. It was only then that Japan decided to take action in Taiwan. Hopefully it will have an impact on our combat operations in South Asia. In order to obtain a sufficiently justification for war. Not only could we not prevent the Japanese army from landing on Taiwan. It is also necessary to allow the Japanese army to land smoothly in Taiwan. ”

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

As a participant in the action, Zong Yingren had long known Wang Yuanqingdi's intentions. He raised the issue at the meeting. I just want Gu Weimin to be more aware of the situation in front of him.

Gu Weimin hesitated for a moment and said, "What is the attitude of the United States?" ”

Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and nodded at Li Cunxun again.

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

All indications point to the belief that we are about to declare war on India. From this it follows that Japan did not inform the United States of its military actions. Although the United States has long assumed a posture of supporting India, we have sufficient reason to believe that the United States will not oppose us on the Taiwan issue, at least not openly send troops to Taiwan. ”

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

"It has been confirmed that it was not Frederick who advocated the withdrawal of troops from the peninsula in the first place, but Westwood." Wang Yuanqing picked up a cigarette as he spoke, "The United States can't defend South Korea, so why should it turn against us for Taiwan?" After Westwood took office, he tried his best to improve relations with us, and even offered to build a 'dual world' with our country. The U.S. does legislate its obligation to defend Taiwan, but will Westwood risk going to war with us because of this? Leaving aside the question of going to war, if we are determined to complete reunification before the intervention of foreign forces. The United States only promised to defend Taiwan, but did not promise to send troops to stop Taiwan from achieving peaceful reunification with the mainland. We have every reason to believe that even if Japan takes military action, the United States will not follow suit. ”

Gu Weimin was a little late,

What the.

"From a military point of view, the United States is also not prepared for war." Xiang Linghui followed Wang Yuanqing's words and explained, "Judging from the information we have obtained, only the fleet is massing in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific, and the US ground forces and air forces have not been adjusted. Even if the United States does not intend to take action on the ground, it should mobilize air power. From this, it can be concluded that the United States is only putting on a show, at most providing material assistance to India, and will not really participate in the war in the western Pacific. ”

"The key question is whether we need to fight an all-out war with Japan."

Hearing Wang Yuanqing's words, everyone, including Li Cunxun, showed a look of surprise. After noticing Wang Yuanqing's gaze towards Gu Weimin, everyone reacted.

"First of all, we must admit that we cannot tolerate a Japan with nuclear weapons and, above all, with destructive power." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Gu Weimin again and said, "When Japan was developing nuclear weapons, we considered declaring war on Japan, but due to the influence of the international situation at that time, we did not take this step. After the War on the Peninsula, we made a lot of diplomatic efforts, including compromising with the United States on the issue of prisoners of war, without exception, to get Japan to give up its nuclear weapons. The result? As everyone knows, Japan has not only not promised to give up its nuclear weapons, but has intensified its efforts to expand its nuclear arsenal and concentrate its national efforts on developing its strategic strike capability. According to the information already available, Japan has not only produced an atomic bomb and a reinforced atomic bomb and achieved a miniaturization of the warhead, but is also completing theoretical research on the bomb, and will be able to build its first thermonuclear fusion device by the end of next year at the latest, thus laying the foundation for the manufacture of a hydrogen bomb. Is there any reason for Japan, which is controlled by the military junta? ”

There was silence in the conference room, and Gu Weimin's expression became much more serious.

"Facts have proven time and again that Japan is not only sensible, but also untrustworthy." Wang Yuanqing glanced at everyone with a serious face and said, "Everyone here knows how powerful the atomic bomb is. Even in the case of a reinforced atomic bomb, the explosive power will not exceed one million tons at most. How powerful are the bullets? At least so far, no one has been able to prove the design ceiling of the explosive yield. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union once tested a 50-million-ton bomb on Novaya Zemlya, proving that the explosion was powerful enough to destroy all man-made facilities within a radius of 500 kilometers and cause damage to equipment within a radius of 1,000 kilometers. Information released after the Cold War proves that the Soviet Union had intended to test the explosion of 100 million tons of ammunition. What would be the consequences if Japan were allowed to make a bomb? There are no other guarantees, one thing is certain, the 'national strategic defense system' we now have will be useless. Japan does not need to load missiles into missiles or drop them with fighter planes, but only needs to detonate them in its western waters to create an unprecedented tsunami that will destroy China's eastern coastal areas. What will be the consequences? The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was telling. The eastern coastal region is the most developed and most populous region in China. According to computer simulations, a tsunami of 10 million tons of hydrogen bomb would be enough to kill tens of millions of people and turn large coastal cities, including Shanghai, into a vast ocean. Can we afford such losses, or can we tolerate such threats? ”

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

"Five years ago, we had a glimmer of hope for negotiations, but five years have proven that negotiations will only give Japan more time and will not give us stronger security." Wang Yuanqing extinguished the cigarette butt, took a long breath, and said, "If you don't have a choice, you don't need to choose."

Since Japan has not yet pledged to give up its nuclear weapons and has intensified its development of nuclear weapons, we should take concrete actions to eliminate the threat of our demise. ”

"What are our chances of winning a large-scale war?" Gu Weimin changed the subject.

Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and looked at Xiang Linghui.

"The battle plan has been drawn up a long time ago, and if we can destroy Japan's strategic counterattack capability when the war starts, we will have more than 80 percent chance of winning the final victory." Xiang Linghui let out a long breath and said, "The Air Force can complete the strategic transfer and war preparations within 24 hours, the fleet can enter the western Pacific within 48 hours, and the first airborne unit can be put into battle as soon as the combat operation begins." The exact amount of ground combat forces that need to be invested is mainly determined by the ultimate goal of the war. Whether it was necessary to attack the Japanese mainland or only fight on the outlying islands would depend on the development of the war. ”

"The main question is whether the people can accept such a war?"

"So we need ample casus belli!" Wang Yuanqing quickly answered Gu Weimin's question. "If the name is not right, the word is not right. What happened after the war on the peninsula proved that we must take into account the attitude of the population to the war. If there is no good reason, we will lose the support of the people. The descendants of Yan and Huang will not tolerate Japan obstructing us from realizing national reunification, and the arrival of the Japanese army on Taiwan is a signal for the beginning of the war! ”

Seeing Wang Yuanqing's resolute attitude, Gu Weimin didn't say anything more. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in**, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
