The third thing was about the Pioneer Army, and the relationship with the Pioneer Army's Civic Party and the Pioneer Association was discussed.

Formation of factions and associations is not prohibited on the territory of the Vanguard Army. Not only the Central Party, but also the Red Party and the Chinese Youth Party do not prohibit their activities. As long as it does not violate the relevant laws, there is generally no interference.

But the basis for the rise of a political party is, first of all, to gain popular support.

Now on the territory of the Vanguard, most of the people are leaning towards the side of the Vanguard, and the Civic Party has risen to occupy most of the seats in the Citizens' Congress. However, other political parties not only have difficulty in recruiting party members and members, but some of those that have developed are also constantly losing.

"It's not going to go on like this. We need to mobilize more people to make them realize the reactionary side of the great warlord Meng Xiang. It is also necessary to educate some people within our organization who are ideologically unstable and cannot be compromised. "On the campus of Peking University in Beiping, two people are discussing something.

"But now everyone in Peking is on subsistence allowance, and he has been advocating the War of Resistance, and there are not many people who are willing to oppose him." A young student replied helplessly.

"Where does he get the cost of the subsistence allowance from? It's not exploitation yet. The wool comes out of the sheep. All the wealth created by the working people should be returned to the poor masses. Another middle-aged man with eyes who looked like a professor said, "He can persist in resisting, and we will not directly oppose him." But his theory of state first, civil rights and duties, like the Third Party, ignores the internal class struggle. We want to make it clear to the people that we want to unite and that power should be in our own hands. Eliminate all exploitation and take back what belongs to you. ”

"Get politics out of the schoolyard! Schools need free air. The voice of a student's speech came from a distance, "What we need is free thought, not subordination." We need Mr. De and Mr. Sai, not Mr. Sun and Mr. Ma. China needs us to rejuvenate, and we must do more practical things and shout fewer slogans. ”

"You are just covering your ears and stealing the bell, you can't see the inequality and unfairness in society, and you just want to be honest and obedient." Another student's voice was heard.

On the campus floor, a spontaneous mini-debate is going on. A similar form was very popular in the Jixia School Palace at this time, and the idea of a hundred schools of thought contending formed an orderly debate mode. With the influence of the vanguard, this model has also spread to the campuses of major schools.

"We only bury our heads in school, how do we know that our parents, our brothers and sisters are suffering from exploitation? Social injustice stems from the existence of exploitation, and only when exploitation is eliminated can social fairness be made. Another student continued.

"There are inherent inequalities in society, and what we need to do is to control these inequalities within a certain range, so that inequality can become the driving force of social development, rather than absolutely equalizing this inequality. With different personal circumstances, different opportunities, and different levels of effort, how can we be absolutely fair? The previous student retorted.

The students below stand still and listen, applauding someone's speech from time to time, and if they support someone's point of view, they can stand on someone's side to show their support. Only the group in the middle either holds their own opinion or has an attitude of indifference. Only behind the debaters on both sides are there constantly students who apply to come out to debate.

A row of bushes blocked out most of the sound.

"After the Spring Festival, the election of deputies to the new citizens' assembly in the seventh theater of operations is about to begin. This time you have to go down to the grassroots and get the people to vote for us. Only we are the ones who think about the poor and the poor, and we represent their rights. There are a lot of independents now, and we need to win them over. ”

The school is always relatively calm, but the undercurrent in society is surging.

It is difficult to fight for control in the territory of the vanguard army, and various forces in other places are entangled. After the army slackened offensive, the seeds of infighting began to germinate.

The Civic Party of the Vanguard Army never shouted slogans against other parties, which led to the gradual absorption of many non-party members. And has a relatively good relationship with Al-Shabaab.

It is true that the nationalism advocated by the Shabaab is somewhat similar to the Civic Party's theory of the primacy of the state and the nation, except that they are explicitly opposed to Soviet Russia.

After 918, the Young People's Party, which was a sworn enemy of both the Central Party and the Red Party, took the lead in proposing to put state affairs first, and turned the spearhead to the original party. And actively participated in the Northeast War of Resistance, in the Northeast War can be recorded more than 2,000 people, more than 700 people sacrificed. This is also a lot of effort for the party members who are not very many.

Thirty-four years later, Al-Shabaab gave up the dispute and merged into the central political axe, keeping pace with the political axe and no longer raising another banner. Although they often opposed the Red Party, their party platform never explicitly raised their opposition again.

The active resistance of the vanguard army made many people without party affiliation and even within the central party have a favorable opinion of the Civic Party, which has not had radical policies, and this time the central party meeting was mainly aimed at other forces.

Meng Xiang watched coldly, and the Civic Party was also impartial and stayed out of the matter.

As long as the vanguard army is strong, the territory of the vanguard army will be rock-solid.

"The local team is moving to assemble!" Soon Meng Xiang heard such information.

"Are they coming now?" Meng Xiang looked at the ice hanging frozen out of the eaves outside the window.

"My advice is to use troops in the spring during farming, not during the Spring Festival. Although the soldiers want to be reunited with their families during the Spring Festival, our soldiers will also be homesick. Speaking of winter operations, our consumption will be even greater. By the time of the Spring Festival, there were less than 100 Zero aircraft, and it was difficult to form a combat scale. Okamura Ninji said in a low voice, "If we launch an attack on the vanguard army during the spring ploughing season, delay the spring ploughing, and add to the blockade, the vanguard army will be short of food until the summer, and we can carry out a second and larger attack." Completely crush the vanguard army. ”

He still hopes to take this opportunity to attack Wuhan directly.

"You don't know. In the recent battles on the front line, the vanguard army has come up in batches to train new soldiers, and if the 500,000 troops have trained them to be elite, it will be even more difficult for us to meet them at that time. According to their strength, even if they are short of food, we will not necessarily stop them when the time comes to grab them. The offensive can only be launched in advance. Shunroku Hata smiled bitterly.

500,000 people may not sound as much as the Central Army, but according to the equipment and strength of the vanguard army, it is more difficult to fight than the Central Army, which is three times larger.

It turns out that history says that the number of troops I invested in the Wuhan campaign was only more than 300,000, of which the number of personnel used for the attack was only 250,000, which was already the largest number of troops gathered.

But at this time, about 100,000 people were killed by the vanguard army. If it weren't for the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops from the mainland this time, and the addition of the Eastern Army, I am afraid that I would not be able to muster together 250,000 troops. With 250,000 against the 500,000 of the vanguard army, even the most arrogant said that he did not dare to fight the winning package ticket.

The devils were already trying their best to assess the strength of the vanguard army, but they still misestimated the strength of the vanguard army.

Now, the Vanguard Army does have half a million troops, but that's only the Army.

The navy now has a small number of ship personnel, and with a large number of cadets, there are only about 10,000 people. But there was a 30,000-strong Marine Division.

The number of pilots in the Air Force is about the same, with only more than 1,300 pilots who can read and fly, of whom just over half are proficient, and many of the others are just graduates. In addition, 3,000 trainees of different grades are still being trained, and about 10,000 people are added to the ground support staff. The first 20,000-man paratrooper division also belonged to the Air Force establishment.

Although the navy and air force have few personnel, in many cases, they will exert the attack power of several times the same number of land forces. Because their combat weapons are airplanes and ships.

The Navy still holds the name of the Fifth Fleet, and the new additions are torpedo boats and Scotts, which can give cadets more training opportunities.

"Look there, their submarine has come up. I'm right! Cheng Dalong said proudly.

In the distance, a submarine of the type IIB surfaced. Qian Chao showed his head in some frustration. This time the mock exercise, he failed.

"This submarine is an old submarine, and if it is a new submarine of the submarine group, you are no opponent at all." As he climbed aboard the Scott destroyer, he was a little unconvinced.

"New submarines? You guys have new submarines again? Cheng Dalong, who was standing on the deck, pulled him up and asked with a smile.

The submarine formation in the Fifth Fleet has more than 30 submarines.

A dairy battalion of 24 U-142 ships is dedicated to transporting oil and grain, and it is constantly expanding.

A new team of 12 Type VIIC submarines formed the new Assassin team.

As the main force of German submarines in World War II, the Type VIIC submarine was very successful. Its brilliant record made it a masterpiece of German submarines. With the VIIC type, the original IIB type is basically used for training for the trainees.

The names of the various Assassins were also moved to the new submarine, and the Eight Assassins were reunited.

A supply auxiliary brigade. It has three mine-laying submarines VIID and six supply submarines of the XIV type.

In addition, an ocean-going submarine group was formed, mainly consisting of four IXC type ocean-going submarines.

At this time, the base was already ready to build the most advanced XXI submarines of World War II. But the high price made Meng Xiang retreat a little. The most important thing is that the current navy, Meng Xiang is not completely controlled. With all sorts of people in the background, some information can easily be revealed, even in the submarine force.

Only two XXI submarines were built, and the clones were completely destroyed. Mainly used for experimentation and familiarization.

In the face of the Viic submarines, which still have an advantage in the face of the Viic submarine in the next few years, the XXI submarine is only reserved as a killer feature. Maybe it would be better to launch it in two or three years when the situation in the Navy has stabilized.

The new submarine that Qian Chao is talking about is the VIIC submarine, and at this time it has already started trading with the Germans. With XXI, Meng Xiang is also not worried about the proliferation of Type VIIC submarines.

"When are we going to get a new ship?" Cheng Dalong said with emotion.

"Come on, your Bohai-class destroyers are very advanced." Qian Chao rolled his eyes and said. Although the Scott destroyer also provoked the displeasure of the British, the Scott modification used by the Vanguard was large, removing one of the main guns, but strengthening the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine forces. The unified 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun became standard on land and sea.

The depth charge slots on Scott remain two, but the surname has been strengthened.

The modified Scott was named the Bohai class, and the destroyers were named with a sea character.

"But I've seen the Zhenhai, and I don't want anything from other ships! After graduating, I just wanted to go to the Zhenhae! If only one day I could personally command a Zhenhai ship. Cheng Dalong said longingly.

"Come on, stop dreaming. The Zhenhai was full when it went up. Qian Chao couldn't help but say when he looked at him. After finishing speaking, he looked around, approached Cheng Dalong and said, "I heard that the Zhenhai is going to be sold." ”

"What? No way! Who is willing to sell such a good ship! Cheng Dalong glared.

"Be quiet!" Qian Chao said urgently.

"Who did you listen to?" Cheng Dalong lowered his voice and asked with a staring at Qian Chao.

"I also heard rumors from others, and I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that it was sold to the Russians. Qian Chao looked around before saying.

"Humph! Russians? Their Pacific Fleet is still salivating over our ports! How could it be sold to them? Cheng Dalong snorted coldly.

"I heard that some time ago, when our vanguard army attacked Beijing and Tianjin, the Russians helped to pull me back. As a deal, the Zhenyuan will be sold to the Russians! Qian Chao confided out the gossip he heard, and finally added, "I didn't believe it at first, but then I heard several people say it, and I thought it was a little possible." ”

"Is this true?" Cheng Dalong couldn't help but muttered to himself a little distracted.
