readx; After 1942, the end of the Russian campaign, and the large-scale expansion of the army in 1941, and the Russian war also hoarded a large number of various materials that had not yet had time to be used up, so the army did not spend much in a short time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 As for the Air Force, as always, it spends money, the Air Force has been spending more and more money in recent years, the proportion of the Air Force's military spending was only a few percentage points in the early ten years, and now, the proportion of the Air Force's military expenditure has been as high as 20 percent, and the number of people is also expanding with the expansion of the scale of the aircraft, now it is more than 800,000, and it will not take long to estimate that it will exceed one million people, but even if the Air Force expands in scale, the money spent is the least among the three armed forces.

In 1942, the most expensive money has been changed from the army to the navy, and the reason why the navy wanted so much military budget in 1942 was because in the past two years, a large number of new ships of the navy have been launched one after another, and the destroyers are counted in hundreds, and other cruisers and aircraft carriers are calculated in tens of dozens.

The navy is not the same as other branches of the armed forces, the navy does not fight wars and also spends money, and the amount of money spent on a warship to go to sea for training is hundreds of thousands, and a large-scale fleet exercise cannot be carried out without a few million foundations. Not to mention that the Navy still has a large number of warships still on the slipway, and these warships under construction also need the Navy to continue to pay for construction.

However, despite the fact that the distribution of military spending in 1942 had been greatly tilted in favor of the navy, the admirals were still dissatisfied, seeing the army expand its territory, while the navy's warships, which had spent no national taxes, could only be moored in the harbor and do nothing. This has to make many people in China dissatisfied with the inaction of the navy, and even ask that since China does not intend to start a war in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, what is the significance of maintaining or even continuing to expand such a huge navy? If so much money is invested in the army and air force, then with China's war potential, it is enough to arm its huge army and air force of more than 20 million and sweep across Asia and Europe.

Under such rhetoric, the Navy urgently needs to show itself the necessary surname of its existence, in order to prove to the people that the Navy is not an armed force that can only be seen and cannot be used.

Originally, the admirals thought that Chen Jingyun would launch a campaign in the Pacific and Indian Oceans after the Russian campaign, whether it was to fight Britain and the United States with Ben or with Britain and the United States, in short, whether he would fight or not. However, he did not expect Chen Jingyun to put aside the war in the Pacific and Indian Oceans first, and instead focused on the Middle East.

What else can there be but sand in the Middle East?

Chen Jingyun also tried to explain to a few people that the reason for entering the Middle East was oil, but many admirals were unimpressed, what a joke, as the world's second largest oil producer, China simply cannot use up tens of millions of tons of oil production every year, and if the demand is large enough, China can continue to increase oil production. China or Germany is not an oil-poor country, but it is not possible to change the entire national strategy for the sake of a small amount of oil.

Besides, if there is a shortage of oil, there is still a large area of oil fields in the South Seas, and tens of millions of tons of oil production are snatched up, can you go to that hellish place in the Middle East to gnaw sand?

Chen Jingyun didn't bother to explain what these people thought, he didn't expect others to understand what he did for so many years, because he didn't need others to understand.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just do what I say!

One way or another, China needs oil from the Middle East!

For the current implementation of the Middle East strategy, Chen Jingyun has such an attitude, many people in China do not understand that it does not matter, but Chen Jingyun must know that in order for China to really rise in the future, it will confront the United States or the whole of Europe, in addition to its own strong military industry and military strength, there is another thing that is indispensable, that is, oil in the Middle East.

As long as the oil in the Middle East is firmly occupied, China will not have to worry about losing the hegemony competition with other countries in the next 100 years.

"I want to leave a gift for future generations!" Chen Jingyun used this reason to explain his Middle East strategy.

Judging from the current world situation and China's own strategic situation, it is actually unnecessary and very dangerous to carry out large-scale actions in the Middle East, because although there is oil in the Middle East, China will not need it for a while, and there is no demand for it, and the demand for oil in the Middle East will begin to grow after the 50s or even after the 60s at the earliest. During World War II, the Middle East did not benefit China's own strategy.

On the contrary, it may also bring great harm to China, because if China wants to occupy the Middle East, then it will tear its skin with Britain and Soviet Russia, and even break out into war because of it. In addition, China's ambitions in the Middle East are also wary of Iran, and Iranians are not all fools, and they are not willing to say that they will become China's vassals, especially since Central Asia is strategized by China, and Iran and China are directly bordered by land, which makes Iran even more worried.

Although there are so many problems and difficulties, if Chen Jingyun misses this world war, he will still have the opportunity to control the Middle East in the future. At that time, it hurt a lot, killing more people, and the whole world pointed at your nose and scolded you for not respecting human rights, and if you didn't do it well, those Islamists would become meat bombs. It's better to take advantage of the easy thing now, killing hundreds of thousands of people in the war in these years is a light and pleasant thing, and you don't even have to bear the accusation of genocide.

Of course, in order to avoid provoking Britain and Soviet Russia as much as possible, Chen Jingyun's actions were also very cautious, first of all, the previous request for the construction of a military base in Iran was also temporarily shelved, and at the same time, under Chen Jingyun's secret instructions, the Burmese side also took the initiative to ease relations with Britain and put forward a request for peace negotiations to the British. And all this is to escort the smooth start of the China-Iran railway.

In addition to diplomatic and political escorts, in order to ensure the smooth start of the construction of the Sino-Iranian railway, the Chinese side has carried out a large-scale clean-up campaign in the Sino-Iranian border area, and in addition to several local garrison regiments, it has also invested three field divisions and hundreds of air force planes to carry out a comprehensive sweep of all kinds of nominal guerrillas and tribal armed forces hiding in the Sino-Iranian border and the Sino-Arab border area.

Although the Iranian side ignored the clean-up activities of the Chinese side, it was forced to send some troops into the mountainous areas in the northeast to cooperate with the clean-up activities of the Chinese side due to strong diplomatic pressure from China.

Compared with Iran's reluctance, the attitude of the Afghan side is much better, because Britain has invaded Afghanistan many times, so Afghanistan does not like the British emotionally, and has been relying on China's support to resist British infiltration over the years. Now that China has taken full control of Central Asia, Afghanistan has become a country sandwiched between China, Iran, Britain and India, and Afghanistan continues to pursue a pro-China policy.

In the face of a large number of guerrillas and tribal forces and other illegal armed forces on the Sino-Afghan border, the king of Afghanistan took the initiative to send troops to cooperate with the Chinese side to clean up.

Although the Afghan army is not very strong, it is still very good at mountain warfare, otherwise it would not have successfully resisted the British invasion several times. Afghanistan because the country is poorer and the people are poorer, the industrial and economic strength of a whole country is not even comparable to an ordinary city in China, so it is impossible for them to arm a modern army, although the armed forces of the entire Afghanistan have almost 100,000 people, but most of them belong to the kind that can be ignored, and there are only two royal guard divisions that can really be called modern armies, equipped with Chinese standard rifles, machine guns, artillery and some 75-millimeter guns, and even trucks have a little bit.

In order to demonstrate the pro-Chinese stance of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the king of Afghanistan was one of the two guard divisions sent to the northern border to cooperate with the [***] side to eliminate guerrillas and other illegal forces.

On a large scale, in early 1942, China, Iraq and Afghanistan jointly carried out a large-scale anti-terrorist crackdown operation, which lasted about three months, killing more than 8,000 terrorists and capturing more than 1,000 terrorists.

This operation can be regarded as a relatively costly and large-scale operation in China's clean-up activities in the newly occupied areas, which has laid the security problem along the Central Asian Railway, and at the same time, due to the annihilation of the guerrillas in the Sino-Iranian and Sino-Arab borders, the construction of the Sino-Iranian Railway will not be hindered by these illegal forces.

And the successful liquidation of the southern region of Central Asia has also allowed Cheng Zixian to get rid of the impact of the ineffective combat left by the army bosses last year.

Chen Jingyun said to Shen Gang in person after reading the battle report sent back by the Turkmenbashi Garrison Headquarters: "Cheng Zixian, this person, still has the ability, but he used it in the wrong place before!" ”

In Chen Jingyun's view, Cheng Zixian is not good at fighting large-scale field battles in field troops, but he is still very good at unconventional battles such as counter-terrorism. And now that China's newly occupied areas are so big, there are so many guerrillas of all kinds of guerrillas, and in this case, it is precisely the talent that is needed like Cheng Zixian.

Cheng Zixian didn't know that he originally hoped to regain the trust of his superiors in the Central Asian purge guerrillas, and then use this to transfer back to the field army. But although he successfully attracted the attention of the superiors, and even Chen Jingyun's attention, Chen Jingyun did not think that Cheng Zixian had the ability to return to the field army, on the contrary, Chen Jingyun valued Cheng Zixian's ability to fight unconventional battles.

In recent years, there have been a large number of famous generals in the Chinese Army, and there are many outstanding generals in conventional operations, which is not uncommon. However, there are not many generals who have in-depth research on non-traditional operations, and Cheng Zixian's outstanding command ability in non-traditional operations has also made Chen Jingyun really attach importance to it, and he is thinking about whether Cheng Zixian should be transferred to Siberia, where there are many guerrillas, and Cheng Zixian went just right.
