Chapter 12 Preparations for War
The twelfth chapter of the national policy volume of eight hundred years of grudges is preparing for war
The rest of the personnel left one after another. Xiang Hui took someone to the next door meeting #39;
Sit down and light a cigarette. Wang Yuanqing went towards Xiang Hui. Tell the Chief of the General Staff with a gaze. Let him brief the two comrades of the Navy.
Zhang Weichang kicked Lin Xiaolei. Let the naval commander concentrate.
Lin Xiaolei glared at Zhang Weichang. Indicate that you are fully engrossed. No distraction.
See the performance of the two. Wang Yuanqing secretly smiled bitterly. Lin Xiaolei is indeed a "purebred soldier".
"Let me start with the general situation." Xiang Hui said. Immediately light a cigarette. Swallow the clouds and spit out the fog twice. And then he said. "Back in the period of the Peninsular War. The United States instigated Japan to enter the war. It's just that the situation at that time was very special. Murakami is judging the situation. Not only did Japan not enter the war. also eliminated the main battle faction led by Iwasaki Nobukawa with lightning speed. Swept away domestic opposition. No, no, no, no. Murakami is ruthless and cunning. Later, the United States tried to plot a military coup in Japan. Turn over Sadamasa Murakami. In the end, it ended in failure. Although after the war on the Peninsula. We have eased our relations with Japan, but Japan has nuclear weapons. And we are not willing to take strategic risks. Our all-out war with Japan will be inevitable. When to hit. It's just a matter of time. ”
Lin Xiaolei frowned. Glance at the Führer.
"Before Zhao Lao stepped down, he carried out the second-round army reform. It is to prepare for war. Wang Yuanqing extinguished the cigarette butt. took Xiang Hui's words and said. "For more than two years. We are always preparing for war. The second round of military reform is a far-reaching goal. There is also a real need.
When war is the main objective, we do not give priority to the needs of reality. There are trade-offs in various military reform programs. No matter how you look at it. Building a strong navy is a long-term goal. The construction period of the Navy can take more than ten years or even decades, even if we make great efforts in two years. It is difficult to receive immediate results. In order to win in a full-scale war that could break out at any time. No, no, not to compress naval spending. Lin Lei's brow jumped. The look was very complicated.
"Exact messages have been received. Sadamasa Murakami is preparing for war. Xiang Hui also extinguished the cigarette butt and said. I'm #39; A few hours before the convening of a military meeting. Murakami held a meeting with senior members of the cabinet and the military for several hours. Discuss the matter of starting a war with our country. Although he did not know the details of the meeting, Murakami was already aware of the fact that if the negotiations with the North Korean military on the nuclear issue broke down. War will break out immediately. ”
"Say so. Is it possible to go to war with Japan within the year? Zhang Weichang said, and then looked at Wang Yuanqing.
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "It's October at the earliest." By the end of the year at the latest. We have been preparing for more than two years, and Japan has been preparing for a long time. This is definitely not a clash of ministries or a regional war. Rather, it is our all-out war with Japan. In the end, there is only one winner. all. The loser loses the future of the entire nation and the nation. Even if we are not family leaders and military leaders. It is the Chinese nation that does not want to lose the war! ”
Lin Xiaolei picked up the cigarette on the table. Listen to Wang Yuanqing's words. The commander of the Navy also got the hang of it.
Wang Yuanqing did not agree to let Gu Weimin become the premier of the State Council in any case. Instead, he strongly supported Zong Yingren. Except that Zong Yingren's attitude towards foreign policy was similar to that of Wang Yuanqing, and when necessary, he would go all out to wage war with the Führer. It also has a lot to do with Ye Sheng's appointment as Minister of Defense. On military issues. The Minister of Defence has the right to speak only to the Führer. Wang Yuanqing actively promoted the war. It definitely takes a determined one.
Want to go a little deeper. Ye Sheng's attitude towards military reform. In fact, it is Wang Yuanqing's attitude.
Come to think of this. Lin Xiaolei was also a little remorseful. Why didn't you see it before?
"The overall war plan is already in full swing. The General Staff will work out the details as soon as possible. Wang Yuanqing paused slightly. said to Lin Xiaolei and Zhang Weichang. "Let you two stay. There is a very important matter to discuss with you. As everyone knows. Japan is a nuclear power. Although we have already completed the construction of the second stage of the "National Strategic Defense System". The third phase of construction is underway. Able to deal with the attacks of certain rogue states. But the "national strategic defense system" is not perfect. Even if it can effectively intercept Japan's land-based ballistic missiles and air-launched cruise missiles. It is also possible to deal with submarine-launched missiles. ”
"Japan does not have SLBMs." Lin Xiaolei sneered.
Wang Yuan smiled. Nodding towards Xiang Hui.
"The question is not whether Japan has submarine-launched strategic ballistic missiles. Rather, Japan does have a sea-based nuclear strike capability. "Xiang Hui is obviously a little dissatisfied with Lin Xiaolei." Anyway. It is always wrong to be careless about the enemy. Until the beginning of the year. In total, Japan has built five strategic nuclear submarines and three attack nuclear submarines. The Navy should be well aware of the performance of these submarines. It should also be clear what these submarines are capable of destroying. For us. Even if only one nuclear warhead falls on a native city. We will all be lost in war. At least the victory won't be so perfect. When the war broke out. It will destroy Japan's strategic counterattack capability. The task of striking the surface nuclear base is the responsibility of the Air Force. Zhang Zhongxian has already signed the military order. Guaranteed completion of the task. Destroy all nuclear bases in Japan. "Military orders?" Lin Xiao #39; I was stunned for a moment. Said. "I also signed a military order. All nuclear submarines are guaranteed to be sunk at the outbreak of war. ”
"It's not a joke." Wang Yuanqing pressed his hand towards Xiang Hui. said to Lin Xiaolei. "In total, Japan has eight nuclear submarines. And it is quite possible that all carried cruise missiles equipped with nuclear warheads. Even if only one is caught. The consequences are unimaginable. As far as I know. Commander Lin did not come from a submarine force. Why don't you discuss it with the comrades of the submarine force first? Ask Hua Jianfeng's opinion? ”
"There's no need for that. I have absolute confidence in the submarine forces of the Navy with anti-submarine forces. Lin Xiaolei replied categorically. If the Navy fails to complete its mission. Not to mention nuclear warheads. Even the warhead of an ordinary submarine-launched cruise missile fell on the territory of the republic. I came to see the Führer and Mr. Xiang with my head raised. Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly. It's a bit of a no-go. Lin Xiaolei is indeed too "upright". Let's talk about it. Even the head of the Yuan did not know how to answer.
"That being the case. It's decided for the time being. "Xiang Hui wouldn't be so polite." The task of countering Japan's sea-based nuclear forces was entrusted to the Navy. I believe in the capabilities of Commander Lin of the Navy. Seeing Xiang Hui, he didn't move. Lin Xiao #39; He hesitated. Said: Mr. Xiang. What about military orders? ”
"Military?" Xiang Hui was also a little unable to get down.
"Just keep your mouth shut. There is no need to set up written credentials. Wang Yuanqing really couldn't stand Lin Xiaolei's "boldness". "In addition to dealing with Japan's sea-based nuclear forces. The Navy has an even more important task ahead of it. ”
"To be exact. The main task of the Navy is not to destroy Japan's sea-based nuclear forces. Xiang Hui immediately echoed Wang Yuanqing's. Said. "After the fight broke out. Oita tactical and strategic strike missions are undertaken by the Air Force and Navy shore-based aviation. Japan is only a few hundred kilometers away from us. The farthest distance is just over 1,000 meters. The East China Sea and the Yellow Sea are too small for aircraft carrier battle group activities. We think. It was very necessary to open up the Second World War front. Expand the range of Japan's strikes. ”
Lin Xiaolei frowned. "It's better to let the carrier battle group go out of the western Pacific," he said. Look for fighters. ”
Xiang Hui smiled slightly. "It's the same as the war on the peninsula." The aircraft carrier "Republic", with serious performance deficiencies, will remain in the South China Sea. Only three aircraft carrier battle groups can enter the battle. If war breaks out within the year. Japan has only two medium-sized mothers that are not very combat-capable. Although the advantage is in our hands. But the Navy must take into account the threat of shore-based fighters. Even consider the threat of long-range aviation of the Japanese Air Force. ”
Lin Xiaolei and Zhang Weichang both nodded. In the absence of strength. It is quite possible that Japan will allow aircraft carrier battle groups to operate under the cover of shore-based aviation. And not deep into the ocean to fight a decisive battle with the Navy of the Republic.
"Strictly speaking. The important task of the Navy is not to annihilate the Japanese Navy. Rather, it is to destroy Japan. Wang Yuanqing picked up the cigarette again. Said. "What kind of country Japan is? I don't need to introduce myself. Dealing with enemies like Japan. The effective solution is a strategic blockade. Although the Air Force is able to play a role in the blockade. But there is no one to replace the Navy. The point of defeat against Japan is not land and air. It's the ocean. As long as the Navy is able to impose a strategic blockade on Japan. We have a big chance of beating Japan in a year or even half a year. ”
"The premise of the blockade is to defeat the Japanese navy." Zhang Weichang muttered.
That's right. So the combat operations of the Navy are carried out in stages. First of all, the destruction of Japan's sea-based nuclear forces. ensuring the security of the Republican homeland; Secondly, the annihilation of the Japanese Navy. crushing Japan's homeland defense capabilities; Finally, a blockade of Japan was imposed. Fight Japan thoroughly! ”
"It's not a big problem. However, it requires the cooperation of other branches of the military. Lin Xiaolei smoked the cigarette until only the butt of the cigarette remained. before it was dropped. "Other than that. We also consider possible external interventions. ”
"So you have to fight quickly," Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly. Said. "Hit Japan as fast as you can. Even if the United States intends to support Japan. It is also impossible to immediately send troops into battle. There is always a buffer period. As long as the Navy completes its tasks during this period. The state will think twice. There will be no rash involvement in the war. ”
"The issue of joint operations. , personally responsible. ”
Lin Xiaolei glanced at Xiang Hui. Didn't say anything more.
"The Navy must prepare for war as soon as possible. Specific combat scenarios. Wang Yuanqing glanced at his watch. Said. "If nothing else. That's all for today. Starting next week. The General Staff Headquarters and all branches of the armed forces submit to me a detailed report on the progress of construction every week. ”
Send Wang Yuanqing away. Xiang Hui and Lin Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief. From now on. The republic is in a state of readiness.
