Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter 53 The Invisible Battlefield (One More Crying for a Monthly Pass)
If you condense nine years into a ninety-minute movie, two hours is not even a t
For Ji Youguo, the two hours from 830 to 10:30 on July 20, 2016 are the most memorable "fragments" of his nine-year ruling career and even his life
When later generations commented on this head of state who led the republic on the road of expansion and laid the foundation for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, they all came to a conclusion that many people find incredible: Only at the end of the 70s of the 20 th century, Ji Youguo, who participated in the self-defense and counterattack war as an administrative official of the southern border region, had no military service experience, but he had a military strategic vision far beyond ordinary people and even professional soldiers
It was the border self-defense counterattack at the beginning of the reform of the republic that made Ji Youguo the first "hawk" head of the republic since the founding father; How much has changed Ji Youguo, who has transformed him from an administrative official who is good at governing the country to a national leader with strategic foresight, only Peng Maobang and Zhao Rundong, who participated in the counterattack with him, know best
As one of the best heads of state of the Republic, Kiyokoku knew how difficult it was to defeat Japan
Japan is not India, whether it is "hard power" that has a direct impact on the war, such as political, diplomatic, economic, military, and scientific and technological strength, or "soft power" that has an indirect impact on the war, such as historical traditions, cultural characteristics, national consciousness, values, and national quality
If India is an elephant with inflated ambitions, Japan is a bloodthirsty wolf
No matter how powerful the elephant is, it is also a herbivore, the wild wolf is domesticated, and it is still a carnivore, there is an essential difference between the two, not to mention how crazy a "wild wolf" that has been hungry for decades will be after leaving the cage
Will the eagle of the Republic with its wings not yet full be able to defeat the wolf?
If Ji Youguo only listened to Peng Maobang's assurances and made the decision to resolve the Sino-Japanese conflict by military means, he would not be a good politician, not even the most clumsy politician
Ji Youguo believes in Peng Maobang's ability, but he will definitely not rely entirely on Peng Maobang's guarantee
When the crisis broke out, Ji Youguo realized that it would be difficult to defeat Japan by military action alone, and for this reason, he advocated a multi-pronged approach to attack Japan in a variety of ways to weaken Japan's war potential and lay the foundation for military victory in the strategic decision-making stage
From the 11th, Ji Youguo took an average of less than 4 hours off a day
In just a few days, a net of heaven and earth was formed, and it was scattered all over the world to the grinning wolf
When the war broke out, the eagle of the Republic spread its wings and flew high, stretched out its claws, and rushed to the eastern wolf trapped by the rope net, but Ji Youguo found himself an "outsider"
Two hours is long and short, but two teas before and after
Seeing Wang Yuanqing hurriedly come to the garden, Ji Youguo put down the teacup and stood up from the stone bench on the ground of the rain pavilion
"Just received a call from the Minister of Defense, he arrived in five minutes and I have sent someone to pick him up outside the door"
"The battle is over?" Ji Youguo's brows jumped a few times quickly
"Minister Zhao didn't say too clearly on the phone, just said to report the situation in person"
"Let's go to the study," Governor Ji You let out a sigh and walked out of the rain pavilion, "Remember to prepare some tea and snacks, is there any news from the General Staff?" β
"I haven't contacted General Peng, probably he's still busy"
"Urge again, send it as soon as there is news"
Wang Yuanqing nodded, and after sending Ji Youguo back to the study, he went to prepare tea and pastries
Just after five minutes, Zhao Rundong strode into the study
"I just received news that the first phase of combat operations has been successfully completed, the Japanese Fourth Fleet has been completely annihilated, and several Japanese submarines have been sunk by our side" Zhao Rundong picked up the teacup and poured a few big sips, "There is also an unexpected gain, Pan Yunsheng reported, an F-22I on the island"
Ji Youguo sat down on the chair next to Zhao Rundong, "Pan Yunsheng reported to you?" β
"That's right! He's taking care of this matter himself, let me tell you"
Ji Youguo nodded slightly and asked, "How about our losses?" β
"The fleet is not in serious trouble, the 'Hangzhou' was damaged by a missile, and a submarine was lost on the way back to the military port, and the search and rescue work has begun, and the losses of the air force and naval aviation are relatively large, and now the result of statistics is that 76 fighters have been lost, and nearly 30 fighters have returned home with injuries."
"How many seaplanes were sent to search and rescue the overboard pilots?"
"All of them have been dispatched, and the HNA has done its best, and the East China Sea Fleet has also sent helicopters to participate in the search and rescue work, and there will be a specific report in the late afternoon."
Hearing this, Ji Youguo's expression became very grim
"Although the losses were relatively large, before we expected to come, Lao Peng called me and said that he had sent the air force's test unit to ensure that there would be no more such heavy losses."
"Guaranteed, guaranteed again!" Ji Youguo muttered in a low voice
"Lao Peng called me, but he didn't call you, which shows that he has a lot of pressure You also know Lao Peng's character, and when the battle is like this, he is even worse than us
Ji Youguo nodded slightly and said, "In other words, the war is not over yet."
"Not only is it not over, but it may also expand" Zhao Rundong paused slightly, and waited for Ji Youguo to cast an inquiring gaze before he said, "The latest information obtained indicates that Japan's Second Fleet and Third Fleet will leave Naha Port later today, and the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force is also adjusting its deployment, if Japan refuses to admit defeat and admit a fait accompli, the scale of the war will expand, but we have already made relevant preparations, even if it is ......"
Ji Youguo pressed his hand and stopped Zhao Rundong's words, but he didn't hurry to speak
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Rundong said, "Lao Ji, what do you mean?" β
"I'm not worried about the expansion of the war," Ji Youguo sighed, "I'm not a soldier, I don't know the bloody wind on the battlefield, but I have to think about the possible consequences"
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "I came to you for this matter."
Ji Youguo frowned slightly and looked at the Minister of Defense
"The voice of domestic support for the war is very obvious, and the Western media is hyping up the relevant newsPang Xinglong talked to me about it, and I think we should restrain ourselves."
"Convergence?" Ji Youguo smiled coldly, "Pang Xinglong just can't get on the stage, before the war started, he also expressed his support and saw the expansion of the situation, so he couldn't sit still."
"That's not what the prime minister meant, after all, propaganda work is related to public sentiment, and if it is done too much, I am afraid it will not end well."
"That depends on whether we have the confidence and determination to win" Ji Youguo stood up and paced back and forth in front of Zhao Rundong for a few steps, "What is war?" A victorious war is the glue that unites the nation, and a lost war is a catalyst for splitting the nation, and propaganda work is the promise we have made to the people, and we have aroused the people's appetite and raised their expectations.
"You mean ......"
"A year ago, we gained the support and trust of the soldiers, and now, we must gain the support and trust of the people" Ji Youguo touched his chin and stopped in front of Zhao Rundong, "Not only can we not stop propaganda, but we must also expand the scale of propaganda, mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, and let everyone believe that we can not only win, but also fulfill our promise that Japan is not India, as a country that owes a lot of blood debts, never admits mistakes and repents, and does not even apologize, Every son and daughter of China is eager to devour it alive, we must not only regain the lost territory through this war, but also arouse the bloody propaganda in the bones of every descendant of Yan and Huang, and the people's heart is also a battlefield, only when every son and daughter of China takes action, and only when every descendant of Yan and Huang is invigorated, can the Chinese nation have the possibility of rejuvenation, and only the land of China can have a bright future."
Zhao Rundong listened and kept nodding
"What does Pang Xinglong say, don't pay attention to it" Ji Youguo sat down again, "I'll personally greet the comrades in the propaganda department later, during the war, the domestic propaganda work was led by the Ministry of National Defense, and after the other departments fully cooperated, you talk to Pan Yunsheng and the heads of several other intelligence departments, and let them also make some contributions."
"I will arrange a special person to be responsible for the propaganda work, in addition, should the results and losses of the battle be truthfully reported?"
Ji Youguo pondered for a while and said, "If we don't even dare to face the truth, do we still have the courage to face a powerful enemy?" After all, Japan is different from the enemy of the past, and the people can understand that as long as we have the confidence and determination to win, we can achieve the final victory, and even if the losses are great, we can still get the support of the people."
"Then we'll report it truthfully and see how Japan responds"
"We must deal with it quickly, the sooner the news is announced, the more our confidence and fighting spirit can be demonstrated," after a pause, Ji Youguo said, "The news that needs to be kept secret cannot be announced, you have to discuss with Pan Yunsheng, he knows better than us which battle reports need to be kept secret."
Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "Pan Yunsheng has already told me that the relationship with the F-22O cannot be made public for the time being."
At this time, Wang Yuanqing came to the study
"Lao Ji, there's nothing else, I'll take my leave"
"Hurry up when I get back, I'll wait to watch the news report"
After Zhao Rundong went out, Wang Yuanqing turned on the TV and tuned to the international news channel
"I just received news that the U.S. government is about to issue a statement on the East China Sea war"
"So fast?" Ji Youguo smiled coldly, "Xiao Wang, what do you think the attitude of the United States will be?" β
Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "I can't guess."
"I bet with you that the United States will definitely support Japan, and it will emphasize that the U.S.-Japan alliance is anything else, at most, it will not take actual action."
Wang Yuanqing did not evaluate the FΓΌhrer's analysis, and Ji Youguo rarely made mistakes in strategic analysis
Damn it*
