The second stage is that after a certain large-scale battle, submarine forces and planes will raid the Japanese fleet on Taiwan and the northeast coast, and the most crucial thing is to destroy the garrison fleet in Taiwan, so that it is possible to land on Taiwan. At that time, the small detachments deployed in Taiwan will cooperate with the revival army that crossed the sea overnight, and then we will be able to gain a foothold in Taiwan. On the northeast side, under the threat of planes and submarines, the ports along the Bohai Sea and the Korean coast will be closed, and the Japanese army will lose contact with the Japanese mainland, which has again caused the situation of last year's battle of Mukden, that is, the Japanese army that has come ashore has no ammunition and food, and will be besieged and annihilated by us again. On the Taiwan side, because of the refusal of planes and submarines, and the fact that the Japanese mainland can send very few soldiers, we can only watch us eliminate its scattered defenders one by one, and finally take control of the whole of Taiwan.

The third stage is the siege of the Japanese mainland. If Japan is not reconciled to this defeat, it can send a large number of submarines to the vicinity of the Sea of Japan. This is to prevent it from sending troops to rescue Taiwan and from reinforcing the northeast and other places. This part is the same as Plan D. ”

If you can besiege Northeast China and Japan, then you can besiege 'Taiwan,' and Xu Jingxi's three-step operation may not be impossible to implement. Yang Rui listened to him and said, "Then how many planes do you need to complete this plan?" ”

"About a thousand!" Xu Jingxi startled Yang Rui as soon as he spoke. He almost choked on the tea.

"A thousand?" Yang Rui took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, very surprised. "Where to find so many pilots?"

"Sir, my calculation is that four hundred are needed to deny the Japanese Navy on the Taiwan mainland. Shanghai, Tianjin, Northeast China, and North Korea each have 100 planes, and the remaining 200 planes are used as mobile forces. "Xu Jingxi has been thinking about this plan for more than a day or two, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a troop distribution plan." We now have more than 100 pilots in training. No matter how difficult the plane is, one year of training time is enough; In addition, the aircraft engine plant started construction last year, and aircraft production will be possible by the end of this year at the latest. On the other side of Qiandao Lake, the lake is wide and is also a revolutionary base area, and placing the aircraft training ground there is not only secret, but also a large enough place. Xu Jingxi said.

"A year? I'm afraid that pilots can't practice well. Yang Rui shook his head, according to the experience of World War II. It seems that it takes two years for a pilot to be trained, but it was World War II, and he actually didn't know how long it would take for a World War I pilot to be trained well.

"Then we can buy dozens of rotary engines right now. While recruiting, we started basic training. Xu Jingxi said, "Sir, according to the situation of various countries, the average flight school can let students test the flight in two to three months. The training of the aviation forces in France lasted only six months. I estimate it at one year. This is because the pilot has to learn how to release the torpedo, and the flight location is at sea, and the pilot needs several months to be suitable for flying on the surface. And then because of the late departure of submarines and aircraft, if the war starts the year after tomorrow, then they should not act until the second half of 14 or the beginning of 15, and the time to train them is sufficient, and the only thing to pay attention to is the secrecy of training at the seaside.

Submarine troops, flying units, and Taiwan's sea-crossing combat units. There is a lot of malaria in Taiwan, and the best way is to send troops from Fujian to fight across the sea. At the same time, in order to ensure the supplies of the combat troops, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and other places should have an arsenal that can meet their operational needs, so that whether it is an airship or a submarine, ammunition can be transported along the way. ”

Xu Jingxi's plan is huge, and it is basically the cooperation of the navy, land and air forces. Yang Rui only thought about the difficulty of realizing the plan, and felt that although it was whimsical, it was achievable. In terms of cost, the cost of an aircraft is much less than that of a submarine, an aircraft is more than 10,000 taels, which is not valuable, but the pilot is more valuable, plus the ships for landing operations, a rough increase of 5,000 taels is enough.

At the beginning, Yang Rui was thinking about how much the combat cost of the E plan was, 50 million for the Air Force, 200 million for the Navy, and how much was the Army? Like the Russo-Japanese War, Japan dispatched the whole country, and because China was fighting on its own soil, it should not run long distances like Japan and Russia, but for the battle of 500,000 people, it would take 100 million taels just to prepare 8 million rounds of artillery shells, plus artillery, guns, ammunition, all kinds of war materials, military salaries, food, and servants, and the military expenditure in a year would not be less than 300 million taels. That is to say, the rough estimate of the entire war requires 550 million taels of military spending, plus 100 million taels of preparations, the total cost of the war is about 650 million.

In addition to the 400 million yuan of industrial investment in recent years, and the previous estimate of the total surplus of 870 million taels in four years, plus more than 100 million taels of foreign debt, the total income of 1 billion taels is not very different; it is really not possible; after the war starts, the Chinese buy part of it, and the United States borrows a part, and the military expenditure is estimated to reach the scale of 800 million taels, and there are 800 million taels in hand, even if the war is fought for two years, it is not afraid. If it's just a matter of spending time in the trenches, as in the First World War, you're going to have to get on a tractor.

Submarines, airplanes, tractors, Yang Rui feels that the First World War against Japan is basically the prototype of World War II. Here 14 years of war, if the first war does not change, then China's war will affect the course of the war in Europe, submarines not to say, aircraft, or torpedo machine use will let Britain and Germany imitate, the current rotary cylinder engine only has more than 60 horsepower, and the star engine to solve the problem of heat dissipation, horsepower has reached 200 horsepower, this is still not supercharged, if supercharged, then the output power will increase by 30 to 40 percent, the total power is likely to reach 300 horsepower, there is such power, The Battle of Jutland won't be an aircraft carrier battle, right?

There are also tractors, trench barbed wire machines qì is the standard equipment of the First World War, although tanks appeared, but the tanks at that time were extremely immature, slow speed, small tonnage, weak firepower, thin steel plates, limited cross-country ability, some can not even be called tanks, can only be said to be a kind of steel monster. The tank designed by himself, because of the mature diesel engine, has a single power of 60 horsepower, and the supercharging energy can reach 80 horsepower, far exceeding the forty or fifty horsepower of the gasoline engine, and the diesel engine itself is more reliable than the gasoline engine, plus the sale of so many tractors, so that the stability of the diesel engine is more and more perfect. Superb engine, nearly 100 years of tank design and use experience. Yang Rui only thinks that there will be World War II in this world? Will it still be World War II in the previous mode?

The events of World War II may be a step further to think about it, after the capture of Taiwan, China's diplomatic situation will undergo drastic changes, and the previous sphere of influence did not border the United States. However, if Taiwan is taken, Japan will lose its base for attacking southward, and even lose the opportunity to rise completely, and the fate of this region will be decided by China, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France in East Asia in the future. In the absence of Japan, the contradictions between China and the United States and between China and Britain will become more obvious than in previous history, or rather. China has taken Japan's place as the strongest hegemon in East Asia, but this hegemon is too weak. The abundant manpower and the high level of war technology can only allow him to recover his original rights and interests, but if he wants to develop, especially to obtain the market from the outside. Not something that the Chinese Navy with short legs can achieve. This era is not an era of advertising and selling products, but an era of guns and guns selling products, and China, which wants to achieve industrialization, will eventually go south to seize the market.

Connecting this, Yang Rui suddenly had a vague feeling that Japan in World War II was China in this world, but the difference between the two was that. Japan needs to go to war with China in order to monopolize the Chinese market, and it can do so with high tariffs. Therefore, China's power will not only be stronger than that of Japan in later generations, but it will also not cause internal friction because of the Sino-Japanese war - perhaps after the recovery of Taiwan in the following year, it will be able to start to win over and recover Japan. The recapture of Taiwan, the occupation of half of it by Korea, and the return of the Ryukyu ...... to the way it was before, and the settlement of the Ryukyu is also a negotiated settlement, so that East Asia can be regarded as a twisted rope.

But who is the enemy? Even the United States does not want to see a combined Sino-Japanese power rise on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, which will not only threaten the Philippines, but also threaten Hawaii. Yang Rui couldn't help but think of the Plaza Agreement in later generations, the appreciation of the renminbi and the Toyota lawsuit in previous years, and only felt that if he wanted foreigners to do business by the rules, it would be tantamount to making them not believe in God and eat fast and pray Buddha.

The rapid rise of East Asia, the old and immortal Europe, the strong and cunning United States, the rational and crazy Soviet Russia, and the hysterical Nazis are the protagonists of the future world.

Yang Rui thought about the Sino-Japanese battle for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, the sky was already dark, and Xu Jingxi had already asked someone to bring dinner. After a brief meal, he found a piece of paper and began to write questions about Plan E. First, the issue of confidentiality. If the recovery of Taiwan is included in the plan of the theater, then the war will no longer be a war in the three regions of North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China, but a nationwide preparation for war. This involves not only the navy but also the air force, and in the end, in order to deal with the strength of the whole of Japan, it is estimated that the tank units that have been secretly trained will also have to be dispatched.

The manufacture of equipment, the training of specialized and technical arms, and the coordination between various branches of the armed forces, if these are not good, they will leak secrets. Although these things are new weapons and new types of troops, outsiders may not immediately understand their value when they see them, but with such a large number and such a large number of people, they will always make people suspicious. Japan was not a Manchu Qing dynasty, and years of infiltration made it very sensitive to changes in China, and many bureaucrats and gentry and students studying in Japan were intertwined with it. In addition, the Chinese people under ethics have no national consciousness, and it is very simple for information to be leaked, many times it is a matter of one sentence, and some people don't even take leaks seriously, such as Wu Yangzeng of the Mining Division, Zhang Hongzhao was bribed by Chen Qimei to deliberately leak secrets, and he was treated by Zhang Hongzhao as a disciple, and he said things that should not be said in a few words after being close.

Fortunately, the revival system is not like this, and the newly incorporated army, military industry, and military academies have also begun to be purged, especially the military industry and military academies, which involve equipment manufacturing and personnel training, and they are not sloppy at all, as long as a military cadet says that he is driving a torpedo machine, or a technician says that he is building aviation torpedoes, the consequences are unimaginable;

Second, the issue of equipment. Submarines and tanks in the Northeast have all been finalized, but the aircraft, especially the torpedo machine, has only built the engine, and theoretically 200 horsepower can carry 500 kilograms of torpedoes, but in practice? Even if such an aircraft is built, it will have to be subjected to frequent sea trials. After all, flying on the sea and flying on land are not the same, with the current structural strength of the aircraft, what should I do if the sea phoenix falls apart as soon as it blows? Yang Rui understands the planes of later generations. But he doesn't know much about the planes now, and the information he has about the planes is a movie called Pearl Harbor, and there is an old biplane on it, but it's a metal plane, like it's all canvas and wood now.

In addition to airplanes, aviation torpedoes are also a problem, and that thing has to be thrown from airplanes. How high can you drop this torpedo to work? This torpedo is only 500 kilograms, and the torpedo for submarines currently designed cannot be used, and the task of building an aviation torpedo for a new design can only rely on itself. How long does it take to make that thing? There is also the most critical question, can the torpedo machine and submarine cooperation in this era really achieve the rejection effect?

Third, the issue of personnel training. A submarine force of six or seven thousand people, an air force unit of one or two thousand people. There are also army units of one or two divisions that landed on the island. As well as extremely critical transport troops. If we want to succeed in recovering Taiwan, then these four parts of personnel must not only be skilled, but also have tacit cooperation, and the submarine and the army are not worried, the submarine has been ready for several years, and the number of officers has now expanded to more than 200 people, and these people are the seeds to open a submarine school. It is not difficult to train a capable submarine force in two years, let alone the army. Mountain warfare was originally the starting tactic of the Fuxing Army, Yanzhou relied on this tactic to gain a firm foothold, and fighting in Taiwan is also mountain warfare, the difference is that the climate there is hotter, the environment is more evil, and the terrain is not familiar, but this is not insurmountable, recruit more Fujian locals, and use DDP and 666, non-war damage losses can be minimized, and at the same time, the people's will is in me, there are locals to lead the way, and the terrain factor is not important.

When the problem of the navy and the army is solved, the air force and transport fleet are left, Yang Rui does not understand whether the current pilots can fly with only three months of training and serve in six months, but even so, can they adapt to flying on the sea in another six months? And also to lower the torpedo - Yang Rui remembers the torpedo machine in the World War II movie, that is, it flies at a perpendicular angle to the direction of the ship's sailing, and it is very close to the ship to pull down the torpedo, this height is often much lower than the bridge of the battleship, so when they finish dropping the torpedo, the plane must be pulled up quickly, otherwise it is very likely to hit the bridge at such a close distance. Such a difficult move, and at the same time it is still a team throw, this is not something that can be trained in a few months.

Finally, there is the transport fleet, wooden ships can be used, but in order to achieve suddenness, it is best to use ships, and the use of steamers involves the problem of entering the port, since Taiwan is already the territory of Japan, then its renovated seaport, only its own pilots, in the absence of pilots, and most of the ships have not been to Taiwan's ports, the transport ships are very likely to run aground, the General Staff Department can not let the steamship China Merchants Bureau and other companies go to Taiwan once, right?

Fourth, the issue of the strategy of landing on the island. I remember a long time ago, Yang Rui saw many plans to attack Taiwan on the Internet, but it was just a look, and he didn't remember a word, and it was the era of missile carriers, even if he recalled it, it was not suitable to get it now. When to land on the island, what route to take to land on the island, where is the landing point, how to move the troops after landing on the island, and how can they quickly annihilate the defending enemy...... And so on and so forth, none of these things can be understood in Beijing. In order to prepare for the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese actually rode horses from Europe through Siberia on foot to explore the traffic situation from Russia to the Far East. What is the current situation on the Taiwan side and what the defenders are like, they always have to send people to detect and collect, and only on the basis of sufficient intelligence can the formulated strategy for attacking Taiwan be effective. Who will do this task? How?

After eating, Yang Rui found a paper and pen and began to write his questions about Plan E, and after writing a piece of paper, he wrote another piece of paper, so he kept more than ten pieces of paper before he finished writing the questions in his heart, and then asked people to copy them and handed them to Xu Jingxi, and kept a copy for himself.

After the battle plan was discussed, Yang Rui looked at Xu Jingxi and Bei Shou and said, "The plan can do this, you have done your best." The plan is complete or incomplete, and it is not said whether it is feasible or not, but being able to come up with a plan to recover Taiwan did not disappoint me, at least, I did not expect that the war could be fought like this, and no matter how good the weapon is, people must be able to use it, and if they can use it, they must be open-minded. Before, I thought about fighting in Shandong, then I thought about giving the Japanese a knife in the northeast, and finally I thought that North Korea could also be involved, and all my thinking was determined to die in the north, and I didn't move my eyes to the south at all.

Since we have these new weapons, we can theoretically realize the landing operation, and although this is theory, practice comes from theory and whimsy. We will all consider this plan, and if most of the above issues can be resolved, then I will submit it to the committee for discussion to determine whether or not to implement this plan. Alright, that's all for today. ”

After Yang Rui finished speaking, Bei Shoutong and Xu Jingxi were happy in their hearts, but according to the military ethics ninja joy, they stood up in front of Yang Rui. Yang Rui only patted them on the shoulder, opened the house and went out. He tossed around inside all afternoon, but the people waiting for him outside were already in a hurry. Li Zilong hurriedly took a few telegrams, except for those secondary, the most important thing is that because the navy is going to train Moffett, the navy's smokers and lazy bugs are making trouble again, these people are not willing to obey the new admiral, Moffitt is an extremely tough person, and the current contradiction is more intense.

After reading the telegram from the Navy, Yang Rui went to Leo's side while thinking about countermeasures, and as the Revival Society seized power in the country, he began to deliberately no longer contact with many things in the General Staff, such as the work of the Intelligence Bureau, he never interfered, this time Yang Rui and Bei Shou secretly messed with Xu Jingxi in the war room for an afternoon, and he also avoided it. He is like this because he does not want to become a Chinese citizen, even if Germany has become all crazy and is no longer the excess he remembers, he still misses her.

Yang Rui walked into his room, Leo was talking to his daughter Rebecca, this baby girl who was about to be drowned is now almost eight years old, she was wrinkled at the beginning, but now she has become a little cute, today she is wearing a Western-style red leather jacket, with a pink face and dark shining eyes, very beautiful. Whenever he saw her, Yang Rui thought about when he could have such a lovely daughter.

"Ha, Rebecca, look, uncle will change magic for you......" Yang Rui made a rare joke to the children, his son, because he is a son, and because of Cheng Ying, he has always been strict.

Yang Rui took out an apple from behind him, sent the little girl away, and then sat down and unceremoniously began to rummage things in Leo's house, Leo saw him like this, and said with a smile: "Don't look for it, I don't have any wine here!" ”

"Oh, I remember, you quit drinking, and I'm under your leadership and now have a few drinks a day. You're such a good teacher. Yang Rui stopped embarrassedly, and then sarcastically said to him.

Leo just laughed, "You shouldn't be, the revolution has succeeded, and they will elect you as prime minister." I can already see the fate of China very clearly, she will rise again, and Germany ......" Leo did not know why he was involved in Germany again, "those people have gone crazy, Yang, standing in the far Far East, I seem to be able to see the end of the empire." ”

"You don't drink, change to fortune telling?" Yang Rui felt a little guilty in his heart, because he knew the direction of history, but he couldn't say, "Germany will not necessarily lose the war, even if several countries besiege her." ”

"Nope! Once a war starts, it will be a protracted war, and Germany may not see it that way...... "Even though Leo knew that it was inappropriate to talk about Germany with Yang Rui, the leader of the country, he still couldn't help but say, otherwise he would not be able to talk about his worries. "Yang, can China help Germany?" He said, Yang Rui, who only asked, tightened his heart.

"Whenever I have the chance, I will be kind to any German." Yang Rui was stunned before replying, but when he was stunned, Leo knew the answer, and his eyes dimmed. Seeing this, Yang Rui had no choice but to add: "Leo, God is fair, when a person falls off a cliff, he will always pass through a few mountain vines, as long as he has the will to survive, he will always be saved." (To be continued......)
