There was a conversation in the sentry box below, the doors and windows inside were closed, and Xu Jingxi was convening a meeting of key personnel in an attempt to make a fundamental adjustment to the previous defensive battle plan. At this time, only the deputy chief of the General Staff, Admiral Guo Bi, called the Prime Minister's Office in the office hall outside the conference room, and the patrol police station called to say that the march had been reported and that it was legal. The call to the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that it was arranged from above, and the purpose was to cooperate with the peace negotiations in Washington, and Guo Bi finally had to go to the Prime Minister's Office. But the phone has been blocked, if it weren't for the fact that the gate has been blocked, he really wants to go to the Forbidden City to find Weng Wenhao, that bastard and a soft egg, to understand.

“…… In detail, the idea is generally feasible. In the conference room, Lieutenant General Huang Zongwei, former chief of the General Staff of the Northwest Theater and current head of the Operations Department, basically agreed with Zhou Sixu's idea, and at this time he did not know that Xu Jingxi had found another way for the Americans.

“…… After the war, there was time for shipbuilding and naval battles, for landing in Panama, for the occupation of Cuba, and for the bombing of oil fields. Except for the time when the Army could use this time to recruit soldiers and train its troops, there was basically no war, unless the British also declared war on us. If they declare war, there will be war in Burma and Persia. By taking advantage of this, the army could expel the British troops in Poland and take over the Iraqi oil fields. After that, it should continue to advance westward, all the way to the Mediterranean coast, until the Suez Canal and Egypt are captured. ”

Huang Zongwei pointed to the location of Suez and Egypt on the wall map with a wooden pole, and then said: "There are three strategic points in the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, the Malta Island, and the Strait of Gibraltar. Before the Navy gains sea supremacy and lands in Panama, we should at least take the Suez Canal and Malta. So when the fleet imposed a blockade against the United States in the Atlantic. As long as Gibraltar is taken again, then the route from the North Court to the Mediterranean Sea will have a smooth basis.

The attitude of Soviet Russia is also quite important. Tanker freighters travel only 8,000 kilometers from the Eurasian Canal through the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic. But if the Eurasian Canal is not passable, then even with Persian and Iraqi oil – we would probably have to build a large-scale refinery there. That's more than 10,000 kilometers, and the difference between the two is 4,000 kilometers. Ammunition and supplies could have been made by improvised railways, which would have paved three or four railways from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to Baghdad just over 2,300 kilometres. Desert areas where fresh water is scarce should be used to use diesel locomotives that use less water.

We don't have to worry about the progress of the army offensive until the navy captures Panama, because once the navy gains sea supremacy and cuts off the enemy's logistical supplies, the Suez Canal, the Maltese Islands, and even Gibraltar will be at your fingertips. As long as we control the oil. Another benefit: the presence of troops in these areas will greatly reduce the difficulty of landing on the West Coast of the United States. If the Americans want to move Britain into the war, then they must send troops to reinforce the Middle East, India, the South Seas, and other places that are vulnerable to our army's attack. The more U.S. troops are deployed, the fewer troops they will have on their home soil in the event of an anti-landing operation on the West Coast.

From this point of view, the enemy's resources are inversely proportional to the enemy's strength. Huang Zongwei said his own thoughts. The later we land on the Panama Canal, the more American troops will be dispatched from the US mainland, and when we completely lose our sea supremacy, these US troops scattered all over the world will become fish belly - to attack, there is no ammunition and no fuel; Be defensive. There were no supplies. Therefore, from the perspective of a world war, sea power is the initiative on the battlefield. An army lacking sea power could only rely on railways and not ships to attack.

This is operational, but from a production point of view. That is, the sooner you take the Panama Canal, the better. After the defeat in the naval battle in the Western Pacific, the Americans, although they would not have imagined that we would be able to build twenty aircraft carriers in a year, would certainly be worried about the supply of their own strategic resources. Especially those minerals that are not available in North America. One day later in the occupation of Panama, they will have one more day of supplies in the future, one less long-range transport aircraft for transporting important supplies, and one more aircraft for combat......"

Xu Jingxi's thinking has always been in North America. I don't want to say that from the perspective of the world, if the Americans go abroad to fight. It was similar to what the Japanese did when they fought in Northeast China -- once they lost their sea supremacy, the troops that lacked supplies overseas would not starve to death, but they would have nothing. So he smiled and asked: "Based on the timetable for the naval occupation of Panama, how many troops can the Americans send?" ”

"The Navy's timetable ......," Huang thought about the draft of the operation that had not been approved. At that time, it was estimated that fifteen aircraft carriers would be built in the first year of the war, twenty-four in the second year, and thirty in the third Chinese New Year's Eve. Judging by the number of US aircraft carriers and the performance of combat aircraft, at the end of the first year and the beginning of the second year of the war, the Chinese side will be able to completely gain sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, and it is necessary to make preliminary preparations for landing in such a defensive place as Panama, and in addition, this place is located at the equator and the temperature is extremely high, so the best landing time is at the end of the second year or the beginning of the third year of the war, which will take two to two and a half years.

"The Americans are very lazy, and he can't send many people in two years." Huang Zongwei thought of the last war and knew the attitude of the American GIs, so he shook his head categorically. "And if we want him to have the illusion that he still holds a certain sea power, we cannot land in the vital places of Australia and New Guinea to lure the enemy; It is not possible to lure them to come to the Philippines. In two years, I think we can only attract three or four hundred thousand in the Middle East, after all, the Suez Canal is a strategic location. ”

"Then we will give the Americans more weight, and after the war, we will go all out to attack the Suez Canal and Egypt. The Suez Canal is not as important to Britain as the Panama Canal is to the United States, we sent millions of troops to rob Suez, and the British Army is not strong enough to definitely ask for reinforcements from the United States. Xu Jingxi thought about this, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "From here, it is better for Britain to declare war, so that we will not be unable to mobilize the United States ......." ”

He was about to drink tea when the glass on the conference room window suddenly shattered! A stone 'thud' landed on the floor. The adjutant on one side saw that the stone was still smoking, and was frightened that it was a grenade, so he hurriedly shouted 'lie down' and pressed Xu Jingxi to the ground. In a hurry, the small 'horn' that exploded after the stone smoked turned out to be just a firecracker tied to the stone.

The adjutant is quick-eyed, but Xu Jingxi is embarrassed. Not to mention the tea splashed the entire placket, and the whole body hurt when it fell to the ground. He stood up and was about to get angry, not wanting to throw a few more stones with firecrackers tied to them into the yard.

"This is a rebellion!!" Xu Jingxi's leopard eyes widened angrily. The saber was almost drawn again.

Huang Zongwei on the side was also furious, the dignified military aircraft were heavy, and someone dared to carry out the 'shelling' in broad daylight, and he said loudly: "Someone! Capture the enemy! ”

Huang Zongwei shouted here, Liao Yaoxiang outside was already arresting people - his reluctance to accept the student's blood letter on behalf of the student naturally angered this group of students, at first the stone was still smashed on the sentry box in front of the door, and then the stone was directly over the roof and flew into the yard. It's okay to suffer a loss, but throwing a stone into the yard is different. Liao Yaoxiang, who was fast-eyed, waved his hand and immediately led the soldiers to cross the horse and arrest people. Unexpectedly, the students in the square had already watched, and as soon as the soldiers went out, someone shouted: "The soldiers have beaten people!" The soldier has beaten someone!! "It was chaos.

But Liao Yaoxiang, a native of Hunan in the sixth phase of Whampoa, was able to mix with the commander of the corps in later generations, obviously not by a sycophant, he had already spotted those bastards who threw stones. Under his leadership, dozens of white bayonets stabbed all the way, and the students immediately fell to both sides like rice lodging after a storm. The students were afraid of the bayonet and hurriedly dodged, and those students tried to escape but were blocked by others, and it took dozens of seconds to work. Several students who had nowhere to flee were caught by the soldiers.

However, the most difficult thing to arrest in this kind of crowd is not to arrest people, but how to leave with them. At this time, I saw that Qiu Ba had arrested the students, and I saw that their bayonets were only scaring people, but they didn't stab people at all. A cadre of students came to the spirit again.

"Why arrest people? Why arrest people! Someone shouted. Students, they don't dare to hurt people, they can't let them take people away......" Listen to this shout. The rice that was lying on its stomach just now stood up like eating ****, and the students pulled and beat at the soldiers. even grabbed the students who were twisted by the soldiers, and all the roads they had opened before were blocked.

"Chop the skull!" Liao Yaoxiang scolded in local dialect. Then he waved his hand, "I order: all classes will retreat in a drum style, and they can't mess up!" ”

The drum retreat is the alternate cover of the various departments, and the later generations are too scumbag of the fruit army, and the whole army is scattered as it rolls. But now there are only five or six squads of soldiers under Liao Roller, and the opponent has no guns, so the commander ordered the non-commissioned officers who knew each other to 'roll' immediately.

The students are a rabble, and they don't have any guys in their hands, so how have they ever seen this kind of drum warfare? For a while, this small group of soldiers rolled back with the captives like loaches, and they couldn't hold it at all. When the last soldier crossed the rejection, thousands of freedom-loving progressive youths were furious! As long as they had anything in their hands, they threw all of them at the soldiers, and for a moment stones, pens, coins, keys, belts, shoes, ...... and other messes rained down on the gates of the cordoned off and the General Staff.

"Let go! Let go!! Release !! The angry student stirred up, forgetting that he had just shrunk his eggs under the bayonet. The more agitated ones in front overturned the horses on the outside of the warning area. Seeing that the students were about to rush in, Liao Yaoxiang, who had already been mentally prepared, waved his hand, 'Bang bang ......', a squad of soldiers suddenly fired a gun into the sky, and after the crowd shouted in chaos, he shouted to the students: "If you take another step, you will be killed!" ”

The vigorous students were pale from the gunshots, and the timid ones were ready to retreat. didn't want Liao Yaoxiang to just warn, not really shoot, so after just a few seconds of silence, several voices began to cheer again: "Students, don't be afraid!" They didn't dare to shoot! They didn't dare to shoot!! "Students, rescue our compatriots! Come on!! ”

The shouter hid in the crowd, and the power of the words and the fear just now suddenly turned into hysteria. The students at the front ignored the thorns on the barbed wire and frantically pushed away all obstacles in front of them, and the leading ones had already rushed into the warning zone within the yellow line.

"Does he dare to shoot?" Huang Zongwei, who was still embarrassed, was standing outside the window, looking at the rioting students outside the gate. He asked this because he thought that the major was bold and witty, and that he was a usable talent, and now it was up to him to see if he had the courage or not.

"Hmph......" Xu Jingxi chuckled, and before he could finish laughing, he heard rows of gunshots outside. In the screaming and screaming, the courage of the students just now turned into the strength to escape, and the crowd retreated as quickly as the tide receded, in addition to people pushing and trampling people, countless people were squeezed out of the railing and fell into the pool. Bloodbath, finally happened!!

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Wu Jingchao, the secretary of the prime minister, hung up the phone and hurried to the palace. Careful, he actually knocked over two documents in and out one after another, and the snow-white documents were immediately scattered on the ground. But he still ran to Weng Wenhao's side regardless of it. Both anxious and excited, he whispered to Weng Wenhao: "Prime Minister, something happened over there in Jishuitan!" ”

"What's wrong?!" Weng Wenhao said unconsciously. As soon as the words came out, I realized that I was too busy to cover my mouth. Fortunately, there was no one around, so he was relieved and whispered urgently: "Say it quickly!" ”

"The students were protesting outside, but somehow they clashed with the guards of the General Staff, and the guards rushed into the students to arrest people, and the enraged students rushed into the warning area to save people, and then ......" Wu Jingchao paused, held his glasses and whispered, "Then the guards fired!" ”

"Killed a student?" Weng Wenhao sits, and Wu Jingchao stands with his body bowed. I heard that the guards were shooting. He immediately looked at Wu Jingchao with his eyebrows and tilted his head, with anxiety and eagerness.

"The students rushed in, and the guards shot at the crowd again, how could they not kill people!" Wu Jingchao said.

"Then hurry up and save people!" Weng Wenhao is kind-hearted after all, and he can only acquiesce in the planning of the student parade by Hu Shi and others, but now that the purpose of the parade has been achieved, he feels that he should save people immediately.

"No, Prime Minister." Wu Jingchao spoke in a lower voice, "If we call out." Then people will suspect us ......"

If you do something wrong, you are afraid that the ghost will knock on the door, Wu Jingchao is worried that the plan will be discovered, so he wants to pretend that he doesn't know. But Weng Wenhao is a well-known heart after all. He shook his head vigorously and frowned, "Let the students go to the General Staff." It's already ...... It's already ......," he sighed, and added, "How can I let the students bleed and die!" ”

"Prime Minister. That's going to have to wait half an hour. Wu Jingchao had to back down, "At least you have to wait for a call from other places to report the news before you can order the students to be saved!" ”

What Wu Jingchao said makes sense. But Weng Wenhao, whose conscience was tormented, was restless. Everything he does is for the better of the country and the people, but for this purpose, he will unscrupulously let the students face the problem. The muzzle of the maker, which will make him guilty for the rest of his life. He stood up and scurried around the hall like ants, and finally, more than ten minutes later, the phone rang. It's just that when he stepped forward to answer it quickly, his hand was held down by Wu Jingchao - the call came from Line 5, he was the prime minister, how could he personally answer the call from Line 5. Wu Jingchao was thoughtful, Weng Wenhao had to let him take it, but he looked at him anxiously.

"Hey......, well, yes, I'm Wu Jingchao." Wu Jingchao pretended to speak easily, and after a while, his voice rose up, "What?!" What such a thing! Good! Good! I know! I will report to the Prime Minister right away. ”

"Quick! Call the hospital! Weng Wenhao ordered beside him.

"Prime Minister, not a student!" Wu Jingchao put down the phone and said. "On the Foreign Office's side, the U.S. Marines landed on multiple atolls in the Marshall Islands earlier today, and there was a fierce exchange of fire with Japanese troops stationed on the island, with casualties on both sides."

"What, what?!" Weng Wenhao's eyebrows suddenly lowered, and then hung higher. In the past, the United States and Japan were only engaged in aircraft battles, but now they are landing battles. Although the islands are not part of Japanese territory and are only trusteeship areas of the League of Nations, all sovereignty over the trustee territories is owned by the trustee powers, and the brazen landing of US troops can be called an invasion.

"What does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs say?!" Weng Wenhao asked urgently, not wanting the phone to ring again at this time, Wu Jingchao had to answer the phone first and then answer. This was the phone call that reported that the student had been shot dead by the guards of the General Staff. After answering the phone, he immediately called the hospital and the Jingshi Police Department at the signal of Weng Wenhao, asking them to save people and deal with the aftermath immediately.

There was a bloodstain in front of the General Staff, leather boots, hats, and banners carried by the students on the march were thrown in a disorderly manner on the triangle square full of students standing earlier. These things are not dazzling, except for the six bodies that fell within the yellow line of the warning area are very striking - before the gendarmes arrived, the seriously injured who did not have time to escape had been admitted to the medical room of the General Staff, and the bodies were not moved because they were physical evidence.

Looking at the distortion and fear on the young and immature face of the deceased, Major Liao Yaoxiang, who gave the order to shoot, looked numb, he felt that he had done nothing wrong, and he felt that he had done a lot wrong. Suddenly, the guards on the outside guard suddenly shouted: "No photography!" ”

"Why can't you take pictures?! Why can't you take pictures!! Several people with glasses and press cards on their chests shouted: "The Constitution stipulates freedom of the press in Greater China!" ”

"If you say you can't take pictures, you won't be allowed to take pictures!" The guards are not fools, and when they saw that the reporter was slippery, they kept blocking the camera, and the reporter behind him took advantage of the chaos. Hurriedly captured the guards who stopped the reporters and the corpses on the ground.

"Still shoot!" The flash flashed, and the guards suddenly reached out and grabbed the camera that captured the reporter. In three clicks and two clicks, the film was pulled out and exposed, which provoked the reporter to shout more than once.

"Do you still have the law?" A voice full of righteousness came from afar. Look at it. However, I saw that a person dressed in a second-grade official robe appeared on the side of the pond surrounded by dozens of patrol officers. The guards didn't know who these people were, but the reporters did-it was him, who asked for the people's lives seven years ago, regardless of his black hat, and arrested Zhang Tianwang, the president of the State Bank, Zhang Tianwang, who colluded with outsiders and looted the countrymen. The officials of the control forces protected each other, and his actions were not only fruitless, but he lost his official position. But even so, the people were grateful for his integrity and conscience.

"Dare to kill people and dare not take pictures?!" Gasp. Zhu Jiahua, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the chief of the patrol police, who came over, reprimanded. "Greater China is a civilized country, and the people have the right to know about any event."

Zhu Jiahua said, and the rest of the reporters called 'Master Zhu' while taking pictures of him. Zhu Jiahua didn't care about the flashing light, he said righteously: "Who reported the case just now, and now this place has been taken over by the Jingshi Police Department!" ”

"The patrol in the military warning area has no jurisdiction!" Liao Yaoxiang, who was in a trance just now, had come back to his senses at this time, but he didn't dare to look directly into Zhu Jiahua's awe-inspiring eyes.

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Jiahua was angry, "As long as the murder occurs in the capital, the Jingshi Police Department should be responsible." "Seeing that the other party is just a major. Zhu Jiahua straightened up again, and said again as he walked forward: "Go and report to your boss immediately, just say that this place has been taken over by the Police Department!" ”

"Stop!" Liao Yaoxiang's blood-soaked face was unusually pale, but his gestures were not slow. Under his order, the soldiers who had fired their guns raised their rifles again, and the muzzles of the black guns were facing Zhu Jiahua and the others.

"You dare!" Zhu Jiahua was disdainful. But when his eyes swept away, he was still stunned when he saw the stunning eyes of the soldiers. This is the soldier who has shot before. Since you dare to shoot at a student, then dare to shoot at him. Anyway, killing one is killing, and killing two is killing. But the problem is that all the patrolmen he brought are watching him, and more and more reporters are hoping that he will ask for the people's lives again.

"Humph!" Zhu Jiahua took the stagnant step just now, and he waved his hand loudly as he walked forward: "You have the ability to shoot me." ”

Seeing Zhu Jiahua leading people to move forward more and more, Liao Yaoxiang's whole person fell into an involuntary state, he tore his throat and shouted again: "Everyone is ready, prepare-......"

The situation was once again at a critical juncture, and just as everyone was bold, and a few bold reporters wanted to capture the gunfire fired by the soldiers, a voice shouted: "All have ......, listen to my command: get your shot, stand up!" ”

Orders are everything. Listening to the familiar command, more than a dozen soldiers with guns immediately stood upright. At this time, coming out of the door was Guo Bi, deputy chief of the general staff. After he finished ordering the guards, he said to Zhu Jiahua: "This is a military warning area, and the patrol has no right to jurisdiction!" ”

"This is a vicious homicide, and the patrol police naturally have the right to take it over!" Zhu Jiahua, whose vest was all soaked, said loudly, his voice a little unnatural.

"I repeat, this is a military case! Under the jurisdiction of the army, quit!! Guo Bi's voice was louder, and his eyes were a little contemptuous - when he reported the case just now, the patrol officer said that the march was legal, and now there was a murder, and the patrol officer who came out of nowhere took the initiative to run out to be responsible, all of which made him feel that this was a planned conspiracy, although he didn't know what the mastermind's purpose was.

"I said the patrol was in charge here!" Since the other party didn't dare to shoot, Zhu Jiahua, who had the support of hundreds of millions of people, had nothing to be afraid of, he immediately walked in front of Guo Bi and looked at him, and the patrol police and reporters behind him also hugged him.

"Presumptuous!" During the confrontation between the two gangs, several military five-ton trucks braked sharply in the triangle square and stopped, and the tires grinded out several marks. At this time, nearly 100 gendarmes got out of the car, and Lieutenant General Fan An, who took the lead, had already seen everything in the car and drank as soon as he got out of the car. "This is a military control area, and it is a military case, and no one will exit immediately!"

The gendarmes were loaded with ammunition one by one, and the submachine guns in their hands were immediately aimed at the patrol officers and reporters who had broken into the cordoned off area. Being killed by the guards may be able to cry out for injustice, but being killed by the gendarmes can only consider themselves unlucky. Not only the patrol officers understand this principle, but also the reporters who have always been cunning and clever. At this time, seeing that the gendarmes wanted to play the real thing, the group immediately withdrew from the warning area. As soon as the reporters retreated, the patrol police also pulled Zhu Jiahua back, and the entire warning area was immediately surrounded by military police, and the six dazzling corpses were suddenly invisible to them.

"Greater China is not only a country governed by the rule of law, but also a civilized country." Zhu Jiahua, who had no choice but to give a speech in the triangle square, to reporters and a number of returning students, his expression sad and solemn.

"But in this civilized country, there is such a distressing scene, why is this?!" Looking at more and more students, Zhu Jiahua beat his chest vigorously. "Gentlemen, students, what devoured these five young lives? Precious life? What is it that makes such an ugly scene happen in this civilized country? A shameless scene? ”

"Yes. System! It's a dictatorship! It's fascist!! Zhu Jiahua shouted and waved his big hand. They are the ones who are erasing young lives! They are trampling on the freedom and dignity of the people! They are the ones who are responsible for this ugliest, most outrageous scene! Those six lives, the young life, the precious life, the life with a bright future, the life in the best life! That's it...... It's gone, gone......"

With Zhu Jiahua's speech, more and more people gathered in the square, and he suddenly left tears in his sadness. Looking at his tears, people wept bitterly, and the irrepressible sadness and resentment pierced the hearts of everyone present.

"Gentlemen, we must not allow this kind of bloody case to happen again!" Zhu Jiahua, who wiped away his tears, continued, "We have to wash this full of specialization. system, a country full of sin! It is all the more necessary for us to unite and ask for the Prime Minister's Office, the Inspectorate and the people of the whole country. Not only must the whole country and the whole world know about this bloody case, not only must the executioners who created the bloody case be severely punished, but also that bloody and cruel system must be completely buried!

Gentlemen, do not be afraid! Students, don't be afraid! Freedom and civilization are unkillable!! They have guns, we have chests!! (To be continued.) )
