"The bear hunt failed!" I had to be frustrated not to accept such a reality.

At the same time, Meng Xiang, who was paying close attention, also received the news.

In later life, he learned a little about his own bear hunting plan. He did not know the details, but he learned that Stalin's father's taboo was January 25. Every three years, Stalin would pay his respects at his father's grave. It was on the basis of this information provided by General Lyushenkov, who defected last year, that he launched a plan to assassinate Stalin.

Meng Xiang only speculated based on the time that this plan would be implemented in the next few days, but he just sat back and watched the changes, and even specially reminded the Russians.

If Stalin had a problem, the world would have changed too much. Even Meng Xiang was not sure where the Germans would point the spearhead first when Soviet Russia was in chaos, and whether he would advance north, so that the navy going south would concentrate on dealing with the vanguard. Did Britain and the United States take advantage of the chaos in Soviet Russia to make any moves? It's hard to figure out all these deductions. has made Meng Xiang feel out of control.

No matter how powerful Stalin is, he can't match the advantage of the historical prophet in Meng Xiang's mind. When World War II was about to break out and China's preparations were insufficient, it was better to go with the flow and maintain the original main track of history with slight changes. At this time, China, which was still a second- or third-rate country, did not change much in the world.

Meng Xiang didn't know Sorge's name, but he knew that he had a German-led spy team there who had spread the news. Since he did not intend to make things wrong with Stalin, he simply gave a kind reminder to enhance the feelings between the two sides. At this time, it is not the time to turn against Soviet Russia, first solve the problem and talk about myself.

"Before, I didn't know what benefits I promised, which made the Russians a little vague. But now I heard that Stalin was very angry, and said that he was going to attack us, but he was afraid that the Russians would also stumble. This time it reminded them that this favor Lala said that even if his retreat was still on, it was with their hearts. Meng Xiang said to Pharmacist Tang with a smile.

Some time ago, the attitude of the Soviet Russians was ambiguous, which made Meng Xiang very worried. If it was because of the threat of the vanguard army that the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact early, it would have been troublesome. Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops poured down, and the army gathered in Central and North China was not something that the vanguard army could withstand at this time. Fortunately, they made another mistake, and they still couldn't help but peep into the territory of Soviet Russia, or they needed to eliminate the biggest hidden danger of Soviet Russia in order to better protect the puppet Manchurian region.

Stalin's wrath had already severed the peace between the two countries. The Russians, who have always been eager to repay themselves, are afraid that there will be action in the near future.

Pharmacist Tang nodded, but didn't say anything. He is not very familiar with international relations and does not express his opinions easily.

Meng Xiang also remembered this, and felt that he needed a relatively good talent around him who was proficient in foreign relations. He can only analyze and judge according to some situations in later generations, but the changes are too great, or some of the details are not clear. Zhou Bai also knew something, but at this time, the economic problems had already kept him busy, and he couldn't take care of anything else. Therefore, a country relations expert must be arranged with him, and there is no need to ask the experts of Yiku every time.

"I said that the speed at which I gathered troops has accelerated." The intelligence services of the Vanguard Army have also been keeping an eye on the situation on their own soil. Obviously, the army on his own soil is about to start moving.

In other regions, he is also constantly mobilizing people.

"The situation is clear, I may wait for the arrival of the native army before attacking. Otherwise, their forces in Huaxia at this time would not be enough to pose a threat to us. Fan Chong pointed to the map of the war zone.

"Not counting the Kwantung Army, there are 13 divisions and regiments gathered towards us at this time, less than 300,000 people. According to local intelligence, at least 6 divisions with 30 numbers and several mixed brigades with 5 numbers were about to rush to China. It is estimated that the total number of people after the union will exceed 400,000. ”

After Fan Chong finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

I knew that I was going to attack the vanguard army on a large scale, but I didn't expect it to be on such a huge scale. Especially Zhou Bai, Li Shuchun and others who heard about it specifically for the first time. Zhou Bai, who doesn't know anything about military affairs, is a little worse, but Li Shuchun, who has been in the military for so many years, knows the stakes. Even if the vanguard army is counted as 500,000 people, I am afraid that in the end, I will lose both. Even if the bereavement work is handled, according to the standards of the vanguard army, I am afraid that we will have to put down the financial burden.

"There are five main routes in the direction where they are most likely to attack on land, with Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Zhangjiakou and Shanhaiguan being the main land attack routes. It cannot be ruled out that they may cross the Taihang Mountain, rendezvous with naval forces, and cut off the connection between Shandong and the Beijing-Tianjin region. Therefore, Shijiazhuang and Cangzhou should also pay attention. "Jiang Baili held out for a long time in the previous battle of Beijing and Tianjin, and he was a little tired. After a period of recuperation, he rejoined the discussion as a military adviser.

"Not only the various passes of Taihang, but also some hidden paths should be paid attention to. I have been doing intelligence on China for many years, and their military maps are more detailed than ours. Wu Peifu, who is also a military adviser, also interjected. Wu Peifu's evaluation of him in later generations still made Meng Xiang feel good.

The first is to worship Guan Yunchang and Yue Fei, and if they fail, they will not go to the ocean, nor will they go to the concession.

The second is his incorruptibility, he was once the strongest person in China, he was incorruptible all his life, with no private savings and no land. This was commendable in the era when warlords from all walks of life were searching for money and looting money, and they were tied to millions of dollars.

The third is that Wu Peifu can receive the grace of people's dripping water, and the spring reciprocates.

As long as it is combined with his identity as a talented person to join the army, you will know the arrogance of this person's literati style. This makes people have no connection with the iron-blooded methods of his warlord era.

Feeling that he insisted on not being the backbone of the Han Dynasty and was finally poisoned by himself, and because he had a lot of experience in leading troops to fight, especially in the north, some geographical environments were very familiar, and he was also invited to participate in this military conference.

"Attacks from the sea, it's hard to get their direction in the right direction. Jiaodong, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao and other places may be the places where they landed. Fan Chong said again.

"We should have intercepted their troop carriers in advance." Shen Honglie spoke.

The mess inside the Navy needs to be cleaned up, but not cleansed. These two are completely different concepts.

Cleaning up is to remove a few rat droppings, straighten out internal relations, and form a new good order, even if there are different opinions, they can also have their appropriate positions for mirroring. And the cleaning is to wash a basin of water one by one, and the good or bad is not running. Don't you know that water, which you think is the cleanest and cleanest thing, gets dirtier the more you wash it.

Although Lao Shen is an old oilman, he is obviously biased towards the vanguard army at this time. As long as it is arranged properly, it can be most effective, and it does not require everyone to be obedient to themselves. Having been in the north for a long time, he has a good understanding of the sea conditions in the north and needs his experience, so he also attended the meeting this time.

"If it is properly organized, it is completely possible to stop them from the Bohai Sea and make it impossible for them to cross the Miaodao Islands. It's just that maybe the pressure on Jiaodong's coastal defense will be greater. After Shen Honglie finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, he had to withdraw from Qingdao the year before last. But in less than two years, so much has changed.

He glanced at Meng Xiang, who was sitting at the end of the oval conference table, and a lot of emotion appeared in his heart. His entry into the ranks of the military council this time shows the trust that this young man has in him. He is old and doesn't want to roll in officialdom anymore, maybe working in his favorite navy until the last moment of his life is his best choice.

His blood is like seawater, and his body is already marked by the sea. During those days on the Ashigara, he felt like he was back to his youthful form. If you can command that new battleship, you will have no regrets in this life.

"You can add air interception, and interception will begin in the Yellow Sea area. Not only are the planes on land to intercept them, but the Canglong can also go around to their unprepared place for another surprise attack. Besides, we still have submarines. Those assassins could also carry out ambushes. Jiang Baili said, for the various types of troops that appeared in the vanguard army, he has also been studying new tactics.

"Only by taking the initiative to attack can we reduce the pressure on the war zone. As long as the local army cannot arrive, the movement of his other armies will also be slowed down. He added.

At this time, Meng Xiang and Fan Chong looked at each other and smiled, and the preliminary plan discussed by the two of them before also had a similar meaning.

"It's good to attack or defend. Our greatest goal should be to annihilate the enemy. He said that his army had lost so many people that he would not even have enough manpower to defend the rest of China. Five-way attack, we only need to seize all the way to counterattack the past, and gather and annihilate the enemy with superior forces. The others only need to resist, wait until the fifth road becomes the fourth road, and then gather superior forces to seek to gather and annihilate the first road, and the attack and defense complement each other, and the offensive of the Yue army will be broken. Jiang Baili said impassionedly.

Fan Chong said with a smile, the teacher's opinion was similar to his. He looked at Meng Xiang, who was listening.

Meng Xiang smiled slightly. He also needed to hear from the others. But he already approved of this line of thinking in his heart.

"Attack first!"
