Chapter 770: Cam Ranh Bay Military Base
readx; Cam Ranh Bay was an unusually busy scene in April, before China and Cochin formally signed a treaty to lease the Cam Ranh Bay military base, because of the outbreak of war, the Chinese navy, land and air forces had already stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, and began to deploy a large number of military facilities in Cam Ranh Bay, including the construction of a field airfield, and the construction of port facilities to accommodate the huge fleet of the Chinese Navy.

Throughout April, as China continued its military assault on Thailand, the Cam Ranh Bay military base served as the most important military base for the Chinese navy, where fleets from China would settle after thousands of kilometers of sailing, while bringing supplies to Chinese troops fighting in southern Southeast Asia.
In late April, when China formally signed a lease agreement with the Republic of Cochin on the Cam Ranh Bay military base, China officially obtained this military port that is the best in Southeast Asia and even in the world, and for this reason the Chinese Navy is determined to increase investment in the Cam Ranh Bay military base, and is ready to build this place into the main base of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea to berth large warships, including aircraft carriers and battleships. emergency repairs of damaged ships in wartime, etc.
Cam Ranh Bay, located in the eastern part of the Republic of Cochin, near the coast of the South China Sea, the reason why it can be called one of the world's best military ports, naturally has many advantages, first of all, its geographical advantages, just in the central part of the South China Sea, the deployment of a fleet in Cam Ranh Bay is enough to control the entire South China Sea, for China is to extend the scope of naval activities. In addition, the water depth in Cam Ranh Bay's port area is very deep, enough to berth large warships of tens of thousands of tons.
You must know that the water depth of those large warships of tens of thousands of tons is very deep, and the main ships of the Chinese Navy in active service, including heavy cruisers, large cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers, the draft of these capital ships is generally between eight and ten meters, and ordinary ports cannot berth at all with such a water depth, although there are many ports in China, there are not many ports that can be used to moor these large warships, and most of the ports have the problem of too shallow water depth, and there are only a handful of ports that can be used as large naval bases. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only poor Shanghai and Guangzhou, and Shanghai was still a public port at that time. After the Sino-German War, Qingdao was recovered, so that the Chinese Navy had the first complete military base, and then negotiated with Britain, France, etc., and successively recovered Weihaiwei and Guangzhou Bay, further expanding the bases that the Chinese Navy could use. The ensuing First War in China took back Lushun and Taiwan. In order to expand the scope of naval activities, the Chinese Navy has built Taiwan's two major military ports, Keelung and Kaohsiung, as its main bases, making them naval bases that can moor large warships and have complete maintenance facilities.
Later, with the expansion of the scale of the Chinese Navy, in order to solve the lack of large military ports in the southern coastal areas, the Chinese Navy began to vigorously expand the Yulin Port in Hainan in the late twenties.
Now that the Cam Ranh Bay military base has been obtained, the Second Fleet's scope of activity can be further extended to the entire South China Sea, and it will not have to sail thousands of kilometers before it can threaten the Strait of Malacca; if we add several military bases leased by China from Thailand, then China's military strength will be able to take root completely, and by deploying air forces in southern Thailand, then the Strait of Malacca can be blocked from the air, and as long as the Strait of Malacca is carried out, the British will not be able to cross over.
The stationing of troops in Southeast Asian countries, especially in Thailand and Cam Ranh Bay, is an issue related to China's strategic security, so as soon as China and other countries signed various agreements, although the war ended, China's military movements did not stop, and the formation of the First Group Army was not withdrawn with the end of the war as usual, but continued to be maintained, and the First Group Army continued to have jurisdiction over the strength of the Seventh Army and the Twelfth Army, a total of six divisions, which were deployed in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other regions.
At present, in the command system of the Chinese Army, the State Military Commission directly administers the various armies, and in addition to the field troops, China has set up major garrison headquarters in the country, and except for the special Nanjing Garrison Command, which has a guard division under its jurisdiction, the rest of the garrison commands do not directly command the field troops, but command the garrison troops under their jurisdiction, and are responsible for recruitment, training, and other logistical and auxiliary affairs. At present, there are many similar commands in China, including the Nanjing Garrison Command, which is generally concurrently served by the commander of the guard division, and in addition, there are the Northeast Garrison Command, the North China Garrison Command, the East China Garrison Command, the South China Garrison Command, the Southwest Garrison Command, the Southwest Garrison Command, and the Northwest Garrison Command. These domestic garrison commands are generally commanded by lieutenant generals, mainly responsible for some logistical work, and do not have the power to directly command field troops.
It is not the same as the real power of China's military region bosses in later generations, the real power generals in these years are the commanders of various armies, and the next level is the position of the commander of the group army or the commander of the foreign headquarters that those generals are staring at.
Although these garrison commands in China are idle posts, several commands stationed abroad are veritable positions of real power, such as the North Korean Task Force Command, which is a command with real power that directly governs the Fifth Army and the local forces of North Korea and is responsible for the land defense of the entire North Korea.
In addition, there is the Central Asia Task Force Command, which is fully responsible for the defense of the Central Asian region and has the Ninth Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the Fourth Armored Army under its jurisdiction. The command of the Siberian task force is responsible for the overall defense of the Omsk direction and the regions north of it, mainly in support of the operations of the Russian Defense Forces.
Then there is also a liaison command in Russia, which was originally responsible for other Chinese troops in Russia except for Central Asia and Omsk, but in the past 20 years, the Russian Republic has also been opposed to the stationing of Chinese troops in their hinterland, so the garrison has been abolished one after another.
Instead of abolishing the establishment of the First and Second Group Armies, Chen Jingyun has, on the contrary, in order to prepare for the arrival of a world war, he has already prepared in advance for the normalization of the establishment of the group army, and then he ordered the reorganization of the headquarters of the special task force stationed in Korea into the Third Group Army, which is not only responsible for the defense of the DPRK, but also has troops deployed in the four northeastern provinces and regions.
In addition, preparations were made to reorganize the Central Asian Task Force Command into the Fourth Army and the Siberian Task Force Command into the Fifth Army.
These changes that belong to the high-level command system of the Chinese Army are naturally not paid attention to by ordinary people, but for spies from other countries, this is a topic worth paying attention to, and everyone knows about China's military system, and it is difficult not to guess what is the sudden establishment of a large number of group armies, in fact, they guessed correctly, Chen Jingyun is preparing for war, not only now has he begun to prepare, he has been preparing since the mid-thirties.
Speaking of which, among so many countries in the world, no other country has been prepared longer and more fully than China.
Compared with the frequent movements of the Chinese Navy, the Army's reorganization of the foreign headquarters into group armies is only a small action, and Cam Ranh Bay in April ushered in a fully busy era, the defense contractors hired by the Navy organized a large number of fleets, loaded with cement, steel, and various mechanical facilities, and then set off from various ports in China under the escort of the naval fleet, and then went to Cam Ranh Bay, and then thousands of workers from these contractors from the country started work at the same time, and a large number of buildings were built in a short time. The equipment needed for various naval maintenance factories was also quickly installed, and the port area was rested, and it took less than half a month for the Chinese Navy to make Cam Ranh Bay a port where large Chinese warships could be berthed.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese Navy is the First Air Fleet and the corresponding auxiliary warships deployed here for a long time, for a time, China's warships frequently approached the Strait of Malacca, but also carefully repeated through the Strait of Malacca, although the reason used is the voyage training, but also made the British extremely nervous, in fact, the Chinese Navy is more nervous than the British when passing through the Strait of Malacca, this kind of behavior in today's world tension era, can be called a military deterrent, a bad will go off the gun, and even a war will break out because of this. The psychological state of the officers and men of the Chinese [***] ship entering the Strait of Malacca can be roughly the same as that of the US [***] ship in the later generations passing through the Taiwan Strait Strait, and that is not a fun thing.
Despite the danger, this is a necessary move to match diplomacy.
With China's advance into the six Southeast Asian countries, the world situation has been disrupted by China, and as China has shown that it is clearly about to participate in the world war, Nanjing has become an important place for diplomats from all over the world.
The Germans, the British, the Russians, and even the Russians all gathered in Nanjing, carrying out all kinds of diplomacy for the interests of their respective countries, and with the frequent diplomatic activities, all kinds of espionage activities also became more and more frequent, making the Military Investigation Bureau, which is in charge of domestic counter-espionage, very busy.
These spies from various countries not only tried to obtain all kinds of information about China, but also launched attacks on the forces of other countries in China, and more than 10 murders occurred in just over a month, the most tragic of which was the Germans, and in the past month four German diplomats were assassinated, one of which was a special envoy secretly sent by Hitler.
"The assassination of the German envoy has been ascertained, not by the British, as we had guessed before, but by the Soviet Russians!" Chen Cai stood in front of Chen Jingyun and asked tentatively, "What should I do now?" Will we hand over the Russians to the Germans or will we deal with them ourselves? ”
After hearing this, Chen Jingyun said: "Deal with it yourself, don't hand it over to the Germans!" ”
This is China's territory, and spies from various countries violating Chinese law by carrying out various espionage activities, and it should be handled by China itself, but in order to avoid causing trouble to himself, Chen Jingyun also had to give one or two orders: "We must do this above board, directly arrest and then tried, so as not to make irresponsible remarks from outsiders!" ”
Chen Cai nodded: "Understood!" ”
After going out, Chen Cai saw Fan Lin in the secretariat, and saw this beautiful woman wearing an extremely formal women's suit, and the whole person didn't seem to have the murderous aura she used to have, and sighed in her heart: "This woman has changed a little bit, but don't really have anything to do with that person!" ”
Fan Lin was sent by Chen Cai, and she Chen Cai is very clear that this woman is not a kind character, but an extremely dangerous woman, and if such a dangerous woman is involved in any emotional problems, she will become a perverted dangerous woman.
After walking over, he asked two security questions, although Fan Lin's dress had changed and the expression on her face seemed to be different, but when it came to work, it was still the same as usual.
"There is some chaos in Nanjing in this short period of time, and the president travels a lot, you have to pay more attention to security, don't think about relying on the attendant room, the last line of defense has to rely on our investigation bureau!" Chen Cai felt that it was still necessary to remind Fan Lin.
Fan Lin nodded silently.
Facing her calm and cold face, Chen Cai simply didn't continue, and after turning to leave, Fan Lin turned back to her office, and after sitting down, she didn't know where to take out her tight silver pistol, and she sighed after wiping the pistol for a long time.
This place is really boring!
