The transfer of high-level generals in the Chinese Navy is relatively more rigid than that of the army and the air force, and there is a complete set of promotion and appointment systems within the navy, especially the appointment of middle-level generals, which is not for whoever the navy boss wants to go, which involves many qualifications and traditional issues, not to mention Guan Shijie, these naval bosses, even Chen Jingyun feels that it is difficult to interfere.

Chen Jiliang's appointment also belongs to this background, according to the naval custom, this kind of aircraft carrier as the core of the task force should be the commander of the aviation general, but now the Chinese Navy has fully turned to the aircraft carrier as the core, if the formation of the task force is all aviation generals, then for those traditional battleship generals, it is equivalent to cutting off the promotion channel, and this is also a very unlikely thing for a navy that attaches great importance to seniority. Moreover, although the Chinese aviation faction is huge, there are actually not too many high-level core generals, and it is impossible to monopolize all high-level positions.

So this is the matter of the layman directing the insider.

Chen Jiliang is a traditional general, and he is a general who has a deep study of torpedo warfare, and has served as the commander of the cruiser fleet and the commander of the lightning strike fleet, and he has more experience in cooperating with aviation operations, but he has never directly commanded aircraft carrier operations. If you have to label Chen Jiliang, then it can be said that he is an expert in torpedo and gunnery, but he is definitely not an expert in aviation warfare.

He also knew where his strengths and weaknesses were, so after leading the Second Task Force to sea, he focused his command on the Fourth Cruiser, while the command of the Third Air Fleet did not interfere much. However, now the establishment of the Third Air Fleet is also dissatisfied, and the establishment originally had two ships, namely Songshan and Taishan. However, last month, the Taishan began to upgrade its electronic equipment at the Guangzhou shipyard and replace it with a new generation of radar system and aviation command system, so it failed to sail with the fleet, so only the Songshan aircraft carrier came, and if nothing else, it will basically not encounter a large-scale attack by the enemy, unless Britain and the United States suddenly declare war on China, otherwise this operation is an armed cruise, and there will be no danger.

After Chen Jiliang sent the 3rd Marine Division ashore, he ordered the fleet to continue to maintain fire support for the 3rd Marine Division, and at the same time sent some ships to patrol to guard against accidents. Next, he just stayed on the Songshan and waited for the war to end.

Compared with the ease of the navy, the army side is much harder, although the Vietnamese defense force is vulnerable, but the jungle in Southeast Asia is really not easy to walk, although there are many drugs before departure, but there are still many soldiers along the way who are sick and infected, resulting in a large number of non-combat attrition, this situation makes the army top brass very dissatisfied, but there is no way to do this, the hell place in Southeast Asia is like this, in addition to increasing the investment in medical supplies for the troops, there is no good solution.

In this operation, the army also found that the T10 southern tank specially developed for the southern terrain did not play the combat effectiveness it should have, which is not a problem of attack resistance or firepower, but also because of the mobile surname, the weight of 16 tons in the jungle area of Southeast Asia is very bad. When it comes to specific operations, often the T10 is not used, and the main force is still the outdated and backward T8 series light tanks.

This is very different from the assumption of the army's top brass, in the early years of the army's tank development, the T8 series was used as a general-purpose light tank, mainly to undertake reconnaissance and other tasks, and the main force of the operation is the medium tank, in the northern region is more than 20 tons of T9, T12 series, including the T15 medium tank that began large-scale service this year, and in the southern region, it is mainly the T10 southern tank. The use of T10 tanks in South China and East China is also more in line with this requirement, otherwise the Chinese Army would not be equipped with T10 tanks on a large scale.

However, the terrain and traffic environment in southern China are still much better than those in Southeast Asia, resulting in the T10 tank being easy to use in southern China, but once it arrives in Southeast Asia, it is a frequent problem, and it is not as good as the T8 series tank.

This made the army top brass extremely angry, and then ordered the armored division of the armament department to redesign a medium tank suitable for fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia in a short period of time.

The armament department is also based on the feedback of the front-line troops, ready to carry out a large-scale upgrade and modification of the T10 tank in service, but found that limited by the original design of the T10 tank, it is impossible to modify the tank that meets the requirements, and finally had to be re-established, and the main goal of the design is the mobile surname, which does not refer to the maximum speed, but through the ability.

In Vietnam, the Chinese Army quickly swept south, and with the cooperation of the Third Marine Division, it quickly took the entire territory of the Republic of Vietnam, and then did not stop but continued to go south to the Kingdom of Annam, Cochin, and Cambodia.

As the Chinese army moved south, the remaining pro-Chinese officials of the Republic of Vietnam immediately announced that they welcomed the southward movement of the Chinese peacekeepers, and even mobilized the remaining units of the Republic of Vietnam to join the ranks of the southward.

In Laos, the 25th Division of the 12th Army, guided and cooperated with the Lao National Defense Army, routed three Thai divisions and quickly advanced into Thai territory.

In Cambodia, the 16th Division of China's Seventh Army also defeated two Thai divisions, and led a group of Vietnamese and Cambodian troops to advance towards Thailand.

In just half a month, Thailand found itself suddenly transformed from an expanding strong to an invaded weak. This change greatly alarmed Thailand, and the Union sent many envoys to China to ask for an armistice, and in order to avoid further losses, it took the initiative to withdraw its troops and take measures of non-resistance.

On 23 April, Thailand issued a statement that Thailand had unilaterally ceased armed conflict with Southeast Asian countries and was willing to accept the stationing of Chinese peacekeepers.

On 24 April, Thailand sent a special envoy aboard the aircraft carrier Huashan of China's 1st Task Force, and signed a temporary armistice agreement with Vice Admiral Liao Hui, commander of the 1st Task Force, and Thailand gave up all resistance.

On the 26th, Nanjing, Gu Weijun of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Thai delegation signed the Sino-Thai Friendship Treaty, which stipulates that China has the right to deploy and maintain troops in several specific areas of Thailand, and China must not interfere in Thailand's internal affairs.

The same treaty still exists in several other Southeast Asian countries, and Chen Jingyun made up his mind to station troops in Southeast Asia this time, and he did not have the habit of taking nothing after a war. In addition to the deployment of army units in various countries, the leasing of the Cam Ranh Bay military base to Vietnam was more important.

Cam Ranh Bay is one of the best deep-water military ports in Southeast Asia, and it is also the only military port on the Indochina Peninsula that can berth large warships in addition to Singapore, although there are many other excellent ports, but there are not many deep-water ports that can berth aircraft carriers and battleships, although the Haiphong port in northern Vietnam is also counted, but it is of little use to China, and there are several other deep-water ports, but they have not undergone infrastructure construction, and China has to invest a lot of resources to build the port if it wants to use it. It is too expensive to spend, and Cam Ranh Bay was built on a large scale by the French in the thirties, and now it is enough to berth large warships, and what the Chinese Navy needs is to increase capital investment in Cam Ranh Bay, and it can build a large military port with comprehensive facilities as one of the main ports of China's aircraft carrier formation. Moreover, Cam Ranh Bay is far enough away from China that it will allow China's aircraft carrier fleet to use it as a base to strike the entire Southeast Asian seas and completely control the South China Sea.

As a matter of fact, China has been negotiating this matter with the Republic of Cochin since last year, and even if China did not send troops, it was possible to negotiate it, but now it is only speeding up the process.

The Chinese Navy's thirst for overseas military bases is incomprehensible to outsiders. There are many excellent military ports in China, but there was only one overseas military port before, and that was the Busan Military Port. However, the Busan Military Port is located in the Tsushima Strait, which is the place where the confrontation between China and China is most intense, and the Chinese Navy is now cautious even about crossing the Tsushima Strait, so naturally it does not dare to anchor its main warships at the Busan Military Port.

In Southeast Asia, that is, in the South China Sea, the Chinese Navy used to rely on the two military ports of Hainan and Guangzhou as its main bases, limited by the influence of distance, and also had a great impact on the operations of the Chinese Navy.

China's successive moves in Southeast Asian countries are naturally inevitable to welcome the opposition of Britain and the United States, but opposition is useless, the verbal threats in these years have no practical effect at all, and the fist that is more popular now is bigger, and China's strength in Southeast Asia cannot be shaken by the United States and Britain.

Not to mention that the Burmese region is still in chaos, and the British colonial army is no longer able to control the situation in Burma, and now can only be trapped in a few major urban strongholds, according to this, even if China does not attack Burma, the British will not be able to hold on.

The European theater consumed too much strength of the British, and the British drew troops from all over the world back to their homeland, and these colonies overseas could not mobilize more troops at all, and the British have always avoided war with China, because this is a huge disaster for the British, and the British have also made internal predictions, if there is a full-scale war with China, then Burma will fall within a month, and the Malayan region, including Singapore, can hold out for up to three months, once Singapore is occupied, With control of the Strait of Malacca, then the Chinese Navy will be able to enter the Indian Ocean, and then it will be a matter of time before India falls.

In other words, if war breaks out between Britain and China, the situation will be catastrophic for Britain.

Of course, this is only a concern of the British, and Chen Jingyun has no plans to start a full-scale war with the British so far. He prefers to obtain benefits through abnormal means, such as entering Southeast Asia, and he has not been at war with Britain or France from beginning to end, but now that China has completely controlled the six countries of Southeast Asia, it is much better to eat than to say, "Ben annexed Indonesia."
