readx; When Shen Gang talked about the Pacific combat plan, everyone present couldn't help but feel high, although they all knew what today's meeting was going to say, but now they really heard Shen Gang say it, and the feeling was different, because before this, it could only be regarded as their own guesses or predictions, but this matter was not really determined.

Shen Gang continued: "The Pacific War Plan has been placed on your desktop, you can read it yourself!" ”

On the front page of the document was printed the words "Pacific Operational Plan" in bold letters, followed by several small words: "Confrontation and Operation"

"In order to ensure the strategic security of our homeland, and in order to avoid the large-scale bombing of the main coastal and inland industrial areas of our mainland by potential enemies, we need at least 3,000 kilometers of strategic buffer lines outside our core industrial areas and population gathering areas!" Shen Gang continued: "According to this strategy, China launched the Russian campaign in the past few years, and maintained the strategic security line of the West in the area from the Caspian Sea to the Ural Mountains, fully guaranteeing the strategic security of the inland and eastern regions of the country and avoiding potential bombing from the west!" ”

"And in the east and south as well, we need an absolute safe distance to avoid the destruction of local industries by the enemy in wartime!" When Shen Gang said this, he said without hesitation: "In the past, our main potential enemy in the east was the capital, but the strategic air force was weak and could not break through the air defense network of our Haikou army, but now the situation is weak, and the army has been fighting hard in Australia for more than a year and still has not been able to conquer Australia, and at sea, the navy has been far less powerful than before the war after many large-scale naval battles with the US Navy, but the US Navy continues to be huge. The number of its carrier-based aviation is already gradually catching up with our navy. If this continues, it will be said that "Ben will be defeated, and once Ben is defeated, after the Anglo-American coalition forces have recovered Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines one after another, they will also capture the Ryukyu Islands and the Honto Islands." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Gang was silent for a while and said: "Once the British and American coalition forces occupy the above-mentioned areas, then the bombers taking off from the above areas only need an air range of 1,500 kilometers, then they will cover more than 90 percent of China's industrial areas, and if you take off from Nagasaki, it will only take more than 800 kilometers in the air to turn Shanghai, the first city in our country, into ruins!" ”

"And this is absolutely intolerable!" When Shen Gang said this, he was extremely resolute.

The vast majority of China's industrial areas are concentrated in the coastal provinces, in addition to these coastal provinces, there are not many industrial provinces that can be said to be large, only the northeast Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Suiyuan Province (the central and eastern part of Inner Mongolia, and the western part of Inner Mongolia is Ningxia Province), Hubei, Anhui These few provinces, while the vast western region and most of the inland provinces also have some industries, and the degree of development is much better than history, but the proportion of industry in the whole of China is not much. China's main industrial zones are still dominated by coastal provinces and a few inland provinces, forming the Northeast Industrial Zone composed of the three northeastern provinces, the Northern Industrial Zone composed of Hebei and Suiyuan, and the eastern industrial zone composed of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang. The central industrial zone composed of Anhui and Hubei. Guangdong is the main southern industrial zone.

These four major industrial zones constitute more than 90 percent of China's modern industry, although Chen Jingyun has gradually developed the western region since the beginning of 30 years, and the results are also good, but due to the restrictions of transportation and various hard conditions in the western region, the development of the western region has not been as successful as imagined for many years, and the biggest factor is that China is not a national economy in these years, and industrial transfer is not something that the country can transfer with a word, and it is too affected by capital and various hard conditions.

And this situation is not only in China, most of the countries that basically implement a free market economy are like this, capitalists like to invest in coastal or inland provinces with convenient transportation and rich resources, and no entrepreneurs like to invest in the corners of mountain pits.

This self-imposed constraint on Chinese industry has led China to pay great attention to the strategic security of its coastal areas, because if these four major industrial zones were directly threatened, it would be a disaster for China.

Prior to this, China's coastal security was guaranteed, and although it also had the old enemy called "Ben," its strength was still too weak, and they did not have many strategic bombers to break through China's naval and air defense networks.

However, even though the air force is weak, China still vigorously builds a coastal air defense network from the Korean Peninsula in the north to the Shandong Peninsula to Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Taiwan, and Guangdong in order to prevent any eventuality. In these areas, the Chinese Air Force has deployed a large number of air defense warning radars and air defense fighters.

When the jet fighters that have been in a top-secret state are in service in the Chinese Air Force, they are not used to fight for air supremacy on the front line at the first time, but are used in the local air defense, and in the past few years, more than 1,000 F10 twin-engine jet fighters of various modifications produced by China are in service with the Fifth Air Force.

This shows how much China attaches importance to coastal air defense, and this degree of attention also reflects the importance that China attaches to coastal industrial zones.

As far as China is concerned, they will never allow any force to threaten their industrial zones.

According to the current situation in the Pacific, if the war is defeated, Britain and the United States invade the Philippines, and the country is on its own, then it will be impossible for China to accept it.

The earth cannot afford two superpowers, competition between China and the United States is inevitable, and once American bombers are allowed to take off directly from the mainland to bomb China's coastal industrial areas, this threat will be fatal to China. At that time, there was no need for nuclear bombing, and even conventional bombing would be able to destroy China's industry.

"There are two measures that China can take at present to face the potential threats to China's coastal areas: First, it is to directly unite with China and fight against Britain and the United States. The second is to unite with Britain and the United States to fight against the Philippines and control the Philippines and other areas before Britain and the United States, so as to ensure the absolute security of China's coastal areas.

If we were to unite and say, 'This is against Britain and the United States, then our country will inevitably fall into a war of attrition with Britain and the United States, which we have always tried to avoid! Shen Gang said.

China has always avoided a full-scale war with the United States, because it is very difficult to win a war of this magnitude, and although it is unlikely to lose, this kind of war of attrition will always outweigh the losses, and it is best to avoid it if it can be avoided.

If we want to avoid a full-scale war with Britain and the United States, and if we want to maintain the absolute security of the coastal industrial areas, then there is only one way left, and that is to take the initiative to declare war on the Japanese and then control the mainland and the Philippines and other regions.

This kind of control does not mean that it is necessary to occupy it all, in fact, Chen Jingyun has no interest in annexing the mainland, he wants control, and he wants to use the territory as the forward position of the Pacific defense line.

In short, the United States cannot be allowed to obtain an advance base for bombing the Chinese mainland.

This is completely different from Chen Jingyun's direct annexation measures in Central Asia and Siberia.

"In this case, what we are prepared to take is to take the initiative to fight against the islands in order to achieve control over the islands and other island areas close to the mainland of our country!"

Shen Gang continued: "Based on this, the following operational plan has been formulated in this case: It is initially planned to take the First Fleet as the lead, obtain sea supremacy in the East China Sea and the so-called 'local sea area', use Taiwan as the forward base, and cut off the maritime connection between the 'Ben and the Philippines, Australia, and other South Sea regions, and then the local army units will cross the sea from Korea and land on the Ryukyu Islands and the mainland.

In the South Seas, the Second Fleet will take the lead in conducting naval operations against the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia to gain sea supremacy, while the army units will mainly capture Singapore and Malaysia, and at the same time carry out landing operations against the Philippines. ”

In this strategic plan, there was no offensive against the Anglo-American forces in the direction of Indonesia, the island of New Guinea, and Australia, because these places were the places where Britain and the United States were fighting, and China's rash entry would cause disputes, and China also needed troops in this direction to slow down the pace of the Anglo-American coalition forces, so as to gain time for China to attack its own homeland.

Next, Shen Gang explained in detail the various plans for the battle, and the entire explanation lasted for more than an hour.

After Shen Gang finished speaking, Chen Jingyun spoke: "This is just a preliminary plan, there must still be many problems, the next work of the State Military Commission is to improve this plan, in addition to the General Staff, the Air Force Department and the Navy Department need to vigorously cooperate, the Equipment Department and the Logistics Department must also make comprehensive preparations, in addition to the political axe side must also do a good job in the corresponding cooperation of the industrial department!" ”

This is a war that is more important than the Russian campaign and the scale is huge, and the preparations before the war are very much, and the workload is very huge, not only the cooperation and preparation of China's navy, land and air force, but also the domestic industrial sector needs to cooperate closely, so as to be able to launch the entire country's war machine for war.

In order to carry out a large-scale war of aggression against foreign countries this year, it is no longer the time to make a decision today and start a war tomorrow, but it will take a lot of time to prepare in advance, not only the assembly of troops, but also the training of relevant troops to adapt to their surnames, and at the same time, the logistics department must also make various preparations for ammunition and materials, and then it is also necessary to deal with it to a certain extent politically and diplomatically.

Just like when China decided to attack Russia, it was actually June 1941, but China did not officially fight against Russia until October 1941, after four months of preparation, which proves that it takes time to start a war.

When Chen Jingyun convened this core high-level meeting, China wanted to say, "This declaration of war has been decided, and the next thing is to make preparations."

At the end of December 1943, many shipyards in China received a number of secret orders from the Admiralty, and this order was not a large number of destroyers or cruisers in the past, but a kind of auxiliary ship: landing ships.

With the deepening of the mechanization of the Chinese army, it has become a difficult problem how to ship these troops, which are equipped with a large amount of heavy equipment, to the enemy's coast to launch landing operations. The Chinese Army has been developing for decades, and what can really be regarded as a large-scale landing operation is the landing operation launched against the Ryukyu Islands in 1931.

However, at that time, although there were many troops participating in the later and late periods, not too many troops were used in the initial landing stage, and more importantly, the Chinese troops participating in the landing at that time belonged to specially adapted light infantry divisions, that is to say, there was no heavy equipment, and equipment such as cars and heavy artillery was transported after occupying the dock in the later period.

This model is far from satisfying today's Chinese [***] team, and with reference to the operations of the British and American coalition forces in the Pacific Ocean and the various landing operations of the British and American coalition forces and the Italian-German coalition forces in North Africa, China can be regarded as formulating a large-scale plan for the development of landing ships.

To carry out landing operations, it is necessary to have small personnel landing craft, tank landing craft, and vehicle landing craft for beaching. However, these are boats, with a displacement of several tons to tens of tons, and tank landing craft are larger, with tens of tons and two or three hundred tons. There are no technical difficulties or manufacturing difficulties in these boats, and they are really very simple and very fast to build.

In addition, there must be large landing ships, with a displacement of up to 1,000 tons or even thousands of tons, capable of carrying a large number of infantry and armored vehicles across the sea for landing, and this is the main landing ship in a large-scale landing war.

It can reach 3,600 tons, can carry up to 1,800 tons of various supplies, can load and unload tanks, and can also be used as a transport ship for personnel and supplies.

According to the success of the assembly line segmented construction mode adopted by China's Jiang-7 standard freighter, a number of ships such as the Zimei-class destroyer and the LT landing ship of the Chinese Navy have adopted the assembly line segmented construction mode, that is, each component is built in each factory first, and then transported to the shipyard for direct assembly. At the same time, in order to reduce man-hours and reduce costs, China has also adopted a large number of welding processes on these ships, which has further reduced the construction man-hours, and the shortening of man-hours has a very large cost-for-value advantage for large-scale ships.

In addition to the LT landing ships, many more landing craft of various types were being built one after another.

In addition to the original several amphibious combat divisions, a number of infantry divisions have begun to receive amphibious combat equipment and have begun training to adapt to the sea-crossing landing.

The amphibious tank T19, developed from the T16 light tank, has the ability to use itself from a large tank landing ship and then fight directly on the beach.

When the army was preparing for large-scale amphibious operations, Lin Jingfei of the guard division was not to be left behind, because of the special surname of the guard division, he purchased a batch of equipment for jungle operations, waited for the war in the south, and then sent a regiment of the guard division to fight in Ben or the Philippines.

In terms of air strength, the Air Force is preparing to carry out a super-large-scale strategic bombing campaign on the mainland, and compared with the previous situation in which the United States launched a long-distance conventional bombing campaign against the mainland and a small number of bombs, it is almost as simple as China to carry out strategic bombing on the mainland, and almost all strategic bombers and even twin-engine bombers can fly to the airspace over the mainland of the country to drop bombs.

And the key thing is that when going to bomb, China's bomber force can be escorted by long-range F5 fighters, which is much safer than American bombers coming alone to bomb.

While the above-mentioned Chinese navy, army, and air forces were making various preparations, the domestic industrial sector also received many orders for related military supplies, and the domestic industrial forces were already making comprehensive preparations for the start of the war.

These are China's own internal preparations, and externally, China has extensive diplomatic activities.

Even if it is China's own choice to declare war on China, it is now saying that "Ben is fighting with Britain and the United States, and if Britain and the United States are begging China to fight against China, it is a different matter from China taking the initiative to fight."

In January 1944, in the face of the increasingly assertive attitude of Britain and the United States, China sent a secret envoy to the United States, saying that it could negotiate economic sanctions against Ben, but that China also needed to obtain sufficient benefits.

Britain and the United States have long wanted China to completely sever trade relations with Ben, but in the past they were also afraid of completely forcing China to the side of Ben, so they have always taken diplomatic opposition, but they have not actually taken action against it, and now China says that it agrees with Britain and the United States and is willing to sever trade with Ben, which is undoubtedly excellent news for the British and American armies, which have been fighting hard in the Pacific War for more than two years.

In Washington, Gu Weijun, who arrived in the United States secretly, said: "For the sake of world security, our country can cut off trade with important strategic materials, but we ask your country to pay attention to its strategic interests in Southeast Asia!" ”

This is very straightforward, and it is clear that Britain and the United States must recognize China's special interests in Southeast Asia, and then China will sever its trade relations with China.

There are many so-called Southeast Asian interests, including the recognition of the legitimate right of the existing Southeast Asian countries to recognize the political axe of the existing Southeast Asian countries, and the recognition of Myanmar's reading power. Another very important thing is that China wants Singapore!

Of course, it is impossible to annex Singapore directly, and Britain will not agree to it, so Chen Jingyun proposed another solution, that is, the Malaysian region on the Indochina Peninsula must read power, and the people of Asia must obtain sufficient human rights and freedoms.

Supporting Malaysian Reading Power is an important part of China's control of the Strait of Malacca, and if Malaysian Reading Power cannot be made, then Chen Jingyun will not mind snatching it directly from the hands of Malaysia and controlling Singapore in the future. In short, the Strait of Malacca must be controlled in any case, which is related to the strategic security of China's subsequent overseas trade, and the key to China's access to and out of the Indian Ocean.
