Chapter 750: The Japanese-Dutch War II
readx; On 2 July, at the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, Chen Jingyun stood in front of a group of military bigwigs, and the army generals accounted for the majority in the three-service conference in the past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Jingyun looked at the group of people in front of him, most of them were old people who had followed Chen Jingyun since the civil war, especially the army generals were basically fifty or sixty years old, and the generals of the navy and air force were generally younger, but they were not small, basically fifty or sixty years old.
Like the development of other armies, the Nationalist Army, the Navy, Army, and Air Force were very young at the beginning of its establishment, and the average age of the senior generals at that time was only thirty or forty years old, full of vigor and vigor, and they were fearless of any enemy. In the civil war period, school officers in their twenties abounded, and even generals were very many, but in today's China's navy, land and air forces, there are very few officers in their twenties, and even a few are promoted to majors at the age of twenty, and this group of people is basically favored by the high-level and has great potential for training.
On the whole, in China's officer group, the age of the colonel is often between 30 and 50 years old, and among the higher-level generals, who can be promoted to rear admiral at the age of 40, basically belongs to which type of person with a great future, such as Chen Shaokuan in the navy, this person is promoted to the fastest promotion rate in the navy, he was promoted to rear admiral when he was in his thirties, and he was promoted to lieutenant general in the second Chinese war, and his age was only in his forties at this time. This age is a very special example of the interior of the Navy.
Now 50 years old, he is regarded as the successor of Guan Shijie, the internal aviation faction of the navy, and sooner or later he will sit in the position of chief of the navy department.
China's group of senior generals is not young, but this is placed in the [***] team, but it belongs to the normal level, and no senior military general is a thirty-year-old hairy young man, basically fifty or sixty years old.
"According to reconnaissance intelligence under the Seventh Destroyer Fleet of the Second Fleet, at present, it is said that 'this navy has sent a mobile fleet composed of at least two aircraft carriers, two battleships, and other auxiliary ships to the South Pacific region, and the Strategic Department of our Navy believes that the purpose of this fleet should be to guard against the British and French fleets in the Asian region, especially the British Asian Fleet stationed in Singapore and the United States fleet stationed in the direction of the Philippines!" Chen Shaokuan pointed to a large map and continued.
"Some time ago, due to the outbreak of war in Europe, the British and French navies have already sent a lot of warships back to Europe, and their presence in Asia is not strong at present. At present, the US Navy is divided into two parts, one part is in the Atlantic, and the other part is in the Pacific Ocean, and the main force of the US Navy deployed in the Pacific region is mainly in Hawaii! In such a short period of time, it seems that the attack of this navy on Indonesia will not be resisted by the great naval forces of Britain, France and the United States! ā
Chen Shaokuan did not mention the Netherlands' own navy, because the Dutch navy in Asia only has a few old ships, and there is no need to dispatch any main forces at all.
"Except for the mobile fleet dispatched to the South Pacific region, the rest of the remaining main forces of the navy are basically still assembled in the country, especially in several military ports in the western part of the country! The role here is very obvious, it is used to guard against us! ā
At this time, Lin Changzhang of the Military Intelligence Department also said: "Yes, in this Indonesian strategy, the troops actually dispatched are extremely limited, except for this mobile fleet of the navy, the land troops that accompanied the landing are only one division of the navy and two divisions of the army, but these 20 divisions and regiments in China are currently in a state of full mobilization, and many anti-landing exercises have been held recently. 'The number and number of patrols by the army and naval aviation over the Tsushima Strait have also increased. From these points of view, it is said that 'this side is still not at ease with us!' ā
Chen Jingyun nodded: "It's normal not to worry, we are next to them, the air force can bomb their mainland and even Tokyo at any time, and the army and navy can launch a landing on their mainland at any time, it would be strange if they could rest assured at this time!" If this is for us, we are not at ease! ā
Although Chen Jingyun said that he supported the attack on Indonesia, in the more than a month that he said that he had gathered troops, the Chinese side was actually much more nervous than the Netherlands, and Chen Jingyun was afraid that he would say, "The Chinese side is secretly colluding with Britain, France, and the United States, and instead of fighting the Netherlands, it will turn around and carry out a war with China, and he does not want Shanghai to face a Pearl Harbor-style sneak attack."
Therefore, during the period of the whole armament war and the assembly of the fleet, China's three armed forces were also solemnly waiting, the navy and air force even canceled all vacations, the shore-based air force sent a large number of patrol planes to search the East China Sea and the Tsushima Strait every day, and the main fleet of the navy's First Fleet was also ready to deal with everything, and the air defense forces along the coast, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, were even more vigilantly prepared. Because of China's huge territory, it is unlikely that it will be able to achieve adequate air defense in every coastal area, but in China's economic and industrial powerhouse, the air defense force in the coastal areas of the Yangtze River Delta is very strong, and the air defense task in this area is not only the Second Air Force of the Air Force, but also a wing of the First Air Force of the Navy's shore-based air force.
In addition, the coastal areas are equipped with a large number of ground-based long-range radars, so that the air defense firepower in this area is not only the most rigorous in China, but also the most rigorous in the world.
Although since the thirties, China has begun to develop industry in the central and western regions and the southwest in order to avoid the bombing of industries in the coastal areas, but the Yangtze River Delta, as China's most important economic and industrial base, has a large number of important cities, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhu, Hangzhou and surrounding cities are extremely important areas, and the preparation of this area has always been the key work of the Chinese side, even during the Second Sino-Chinese War. China sent a large number of troops to Northeast China and North Korea, but it did not move the defense forces in East China at all.
However, the Chinese Navy's stern readiness, especially the main fleet of the Chinese Navy's First Fleet, has already gone to sea to patrol, and the direction is unknown to outsiders. And this situation, in turn, made me extremely nervous.
Don't think that China says that a non-aggression pact, or even a secret signing of a resource guarantee agreement, can give the two countries peace of mind, in fact, everyone is still guarding against each other, China is afraid of a sneak attack, and China is afraid of a sneak attack.
Therefore, during the period of June and early July, on the surface, China and China were in unison, but their defense against each other did not diminish in the slightest, on the contrary, it increased.
Otherwise, China would not have put its navy and air force on standby, saying, 'It would not have gathered the main force of the navy.'"
Relations between countries should never be underestimated, and trust between countries can burst like a bubble.
This is also quite interesting, although the top leaders of China and Syria are not interested in launching a third Sino-Syrian war, at least at this stage, they still regard each other as a serious threat.
And in this case, it was said that "Ben began to land in Indonesia.
First of all, it is worth noting that when he landed in Indonesia, he did not declare war on the Netherlands, but entered Indonesia in the name of protecting overseas Chinese. He said, 'I didn't declare war on the Netherlands, but the Netherlands is not stupid, this European mainland has fallen, and now they can't even keep their Asian colonies, and they still have so much control there!'
On July 2, the Dutch political axe in exile in London, England, officially declared war on Ben.
However, after the Netherlands declared war on Ben, Britain did not declare war on Ben for the first time, you know, the so-called allies in this era often have some restrictions, such as the mutual defense treaty between China and Finland, this treaty does not say that every country, every war is implemented in common defense, only against Soviet Russia, and it will only take effect when the two countries are attacked by Soviet Russia. On the other hand, he said, 'If China had been attacked, then this mutual defense treaty would have been useless, and if Sweden had attacked Finland, it would have been impossible for this treaty to come into force.'
Of course, this is only a one-sided exception, and does not represent the UK's guarantee of reading power to the Netherlands.
If Britain were to declare war on Ben, it would involve a whole lot of problems, first of all, if it declared war, then it would completely tear its face with Ben, and then it would be said that "I will increase the scope of the offensive in order to protect myself, such as attacking the Indochina Peninsula, the rest of Malaysia, and even Australia."
With Britain's current strength in Asia, it was absolutely unable to resist the attack of Britain in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
Although he has been defeated by China one after another, this does not mean that Ben's military strength has been reduced to a third-rate, and at present, Ben's military strength is still the first echelon among the world's powers. Except for China and the United States, who dares to say that they have the strength to easily defeat the "Ben"?
Moreover, the situation in Europe is tense now, France has fallen, and the political axe of Visy is currently being prepared, and the political axe of France after the surrender is no longer the political axe of the Anglo-French alliance era, and the Anglo-French alliance now refers to Britain and Free France. That is, those French who were unwilling to surrender, and the power of Free France could be largely ignored.
And Vesy France was in fact a German puppet axe, and their opinion was in fact the opinion of the Germans, and the Germans were very happy to see that 'Ben was challenging Britain in Asia.'
What is the UK doing now? What is he doing to mobilize the whole country and draw forces from colonies around the world? In order to defend the homeland.
