It's not that these veterans don't have a strategic vision, but in their opinion, unless they immediately take power in the country. Otherwise, on the Chinese battlefield, at least for a long time, it will mainly face land battles. At present, the entire armed forces basically have no industrial capacity, and there is no corresponding financial resources to maintain a navy even in a basic situation.

A small navy would not play any role in the war situation. On the contrary, it has dispersed the already highly strained human and material resources, as well as financial resources. Rather than expending a lot of money and energy in this area, it is better to concentrate on doing a good job of the aviation forces, which are already gradually growing.

At present, the whole army is facing an expansion, and there is a need for a large number of qualified military cadres. At this time, the transfer of a cadre to the Soviet Union to study the navy is tantamount to asking for fish from the wood. Rather than spending a group of cadres on restoring what is not needed, it is better to consider the current problems in a down-to-earth manner.

Compared with the two veterans of the Advance Army, who already had a certain understanding of Yang Zhen's personality, the relatively mild tone, and the deputy commander-in-chief's attitude of opposition was unusually resolute. This deputy commander-in-chief, who has a strong temperament, is upright, and never speaks around the corner, and has made quite strong criticisms of Yang Zhen's suggestion, and even a little too much.

As for Yang Zhen's idea, even the chairman and CEO, who have always supported Yang Zhen, did not understand what Yang Zhen was thinking, nor did they rashly express their opinions, let alone jump to conclusions. At least until they understood what Yang Zhen really thought in his heart, neither the chairman nor the boss hastily expressed their support for either party.

It's just that the two people who are already familiar with Yang Zhen invariably feel that they are studying this topic. In the face of the resolute opposition of several veteran commanders, he remained silent without saying a word. That is, Yang Zhen, who does not make any explanation for his own idea, but stubbornly insists on his own opinion, must have his own thoughts in his heart.

After the meeting ended, the chairman left Yang Zhen behind. At the chairman's residence, the two men talked all night. In the next few days, although he did not participate in the next adjustment of local government, Yang Zhen did not return to the northeast. Instead, he was forced by the boss to go to class at Kang University during the day. When I came back in the evening, I was approached by the chairman and the boss to talk.

Yang Zhen knew that it was not easy to convince the chairman and the boss to support him in the current situation. But no matter how difficult this matter is, Yang Zhen knows that for the sake of the future of the Chinese Navy, he has to do it himself. Fortunately, the chairman and the boss, although they did not know all of Yang Zhen's intentions, finally expressed limited support after a few days of persuasion.

The central authorities agreed that these people were mainly drawn from among the anti-coalition forces. The central authorities are assisting them in transferring a number of cadres from the New Fourth Army and the Shandong Military Region. Withdraw the original Jizhong Military Region to the troops of Jinchaji and Taihang for recuperation, as well as the troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region, and coordinate two regiments for them to go to the Soviet Union to study the navy. If the Soviet side needs to increase personnel, it will be considered by the central government as a whole.

This is the biggest concession that the central authorities can make in this matter under the current situation. The chairman's final clap made a stone in Yang Zhen's heart completely fall to the ground. Of course, the chairman didn't know that Yang Zhen would make such a big move in the future, and it could even be said that the whole world was shocked, which can be called an earth-shattering action.

Different from the judgment of the previous old commanders, Yang Zhen never thought about putting the source of the warship on the Americans. Not to mention that the Americans will not give themselves a warship, even if they do, as several old commanders said, that is, there is nowhere to place it, and it is impossible to pass through the blockade line of the Japanese Navy.

He insisted on sending a group of cadres to the Soviet Union to study the navy and a group of troops to the Soviet Union to study sailors for the sake of post-war considerations. He set his sights on the Soviets and, of course, the Japanese Navy, which was infinitely arrogant at the moment. But spending money to buy it, he never thought about it. Because the Chinese, no matter what aspect, do not have that financial resources.

Although the means he had to obtain these warships were a bit too much. But in any case, it really allowed him to build a team that is not small in scale in a short period of time, and it can almost be said to be the first in Asia after World War II. Even if it is placed in the whole world, after the destruction of the German, Italian and Japanese navies, it is enough to squeeze into the top ten navies.

It's just that his methods of engaging in warships are really a bit disgraceful. Even if the chairman and the boss admired this young general, they really couldn't accept such a bold and rather shameless behavior. In response to the chairman's evaluation of him and giving him a bamboo pole, he really dared to poke a hole in the sky.

And this time he not only really poked a hole in the sky, but even kicked the ground into a big hole. Not only did he bring back the Soviet navy, which had already suffered heavy losses in the war, but also almost brought it back. When he came back, he took the sheep and snatched back all the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy.

And the entire shipbuilding industry in Japan was basically dismantled. All the engineers and technicians of the Japanese Navy and shipyards were arrested. In other words, Yang Zhen relocated almost the entire shipbuilding industry of Japan, which is at the middle and upper level in the world, to China.

Of course, the chairman still did not know that the young general, whom he admired the most, would do such an earth-shattering thing for him three years later that would make the world jaw-dropping. If you know the whole idea in Yang Zhen's heart, I wonder if the chairman will directly detain him, the young general he admires the most, in Yan'an and not release him back to the Northeast, and give him a good political education lesson? lest the hole he poked was too big, even to the point that the center had no way to wipe his ass?

However, although the process was not easy, the things that should have been discussed have been discussed, and the central government held a small wedding for Yang Zhen and Yuan Zhiruo in Yan'an. It's just that although the scale of this wedding is not large, the level is quite high. The chairman personally served as the witness, the boss as the officiant, and almost all the central leaders in Yan'an participated. Ten years later, the top ten marshals were present, and six were present.

It's just that the excitement is always short-lived, on the third day of the wedding, although the boss hopes that Yang Zhen will stay for a while and give more classes to the students of Kang University. But there are more important tasks waiting for him in the Northeast, and he can only return to the Northeast with Yuan Zhiruo. However, the chairman and the boss agreed quite happily to Yang Zhen to inspect the work in the northeast after the situation around the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area eased.

After leaving Yan'an, Yang Zhen first arrived in Datong to talk to commanders at all levels who needed to stay in northern Shanxi temporarily. On the day Yang Zhen arrived in Datong, the troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation in northern Jin had already completed their cooperation with the Jinsui and Jinchaji troops, and the handover of positions and defense areas began to retreat one after another.

The equipment of the Northwest Steelmaking Plant that Yang Jicai returned from demolition in Taiyuan has begun to be transferred to the northeast one after another. All the rest of the equipment was transferred to northern Shaanxi and prepared to rebuild the factory. After Chongqing approved the change plan, the planned second steel plant could not be realized, and the equipment could only be shipped back to the northeast.

It's just relative to the troops that began to enter after the rest after returning to the northeast. Yang Zhen, who also returned to the Northeast, did not have much time to enjoy the life of the newlywed Yan'er. only took Yuan Zhiruo home once, and after having a meal with her parents, she threw herself into the hustle and bustle after the war.

The resettlement of troops from the Guannai, the training of new recruits, the replenishment of equipment, and the deployment of cadres have made several top commanders of the Northeast Military Region very busy. Especially although Yang Zhen said other things, most of them were handed over to Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun. But all the problems need to be finally decided by him.

At the same time, he also had to negotiate with the Soviet side to study the matter of transferring personnel from the Anti-Japanese Union to the Soviet Union to study the navy. I also have to constantly negotiate with Pearson and Ross about the United States and Britain to fight against the United States. Especially the military raw materials that are urgently needed at the moment, the delay in not being in place makes Yang Zhen a headache.

After a big battle, the loss of equipment was astronomical. In addition, in preparation for the expansion, at present, there is only a shortage of automatic rifles in the Anti-United Nations, and even if all the stocks are taken out, there will be a shortage of more than 150,000 units, and there will be a lot of shortages in squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns.

If you add to that the need to keep a certain amount of inventory, the number of shortfalls is even greater. Through the action of the harvesters, the Anti-Japanese Federation snatched back a large number of equipment and workers from the industrial base of the Japanese army in South Manchuria, and it can be said that the production capacity has increased significantly, but the basic raw materials still need to be purchased.

After nearly two years of full construction, the second-hand steel plant purchased from the United States has already begun trial production. However, it can only produce ordinary steel, and it cannot produce special steel required by the military industry. Especially in the absence of metal raw materials such as nickel and chromium, almost all raw materials except wood need to rely on US aid.

The delay in the arrival of the raw materials and equipment promised by the United States and Britain has greatly restricted the manufacturing capacity of the anti-coalition military industry. At the very least, the equipment damaged in the battle has not been replenished for a long time. The delay in the arrival of heavy equipment has made it impossible to replenish the tanks and planes damaged in the anti-coalition war.

Pearson and Ross promised to urge the country to speed up the speed of aid, but also constantly urged the Anti-Japanese Union to increase the intensity of air strikes against Japan. Completely ignoring the immediate need for rest and recuperation of the bomber units of the Anti-United Nations, and the serious shortage of bombers.

These two guys who are about to get on fire are so urgent for a very simple reason. The Americans suffered another great defeat in the Central Pacific Theater, and the Japanese bombs had already fallen on Hawaii in the United States. Even more unfortunate was the fact that in the South Pacific theater, the Japanese invaded Australia.

In Midway, New Caledonia, and the United States, Britain, and Australia, which were beaten badly, all panicked to a certain extent. Midway was lost, and Hawaii was under the guns of the Japanese. And once Australia is lost, it will herald the complete defeat of the entire South Pacific theater. In the Pacific theater, the US military has lost one of its most important counteroffensive bases.

Just as the battle was in full swing, the navies of the United States and Japan broke out into a fierce sea, sea, and air battle around Midway, a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In this naval battle, which was supposed to decide the fate of the United States and Japan, the US military suffered heavy losses in the number of troops participating in the war.

Among the three aircraft carriers involved in the battle, the Yorktown and the Enterprise were sunk, the Hornet suffered heavy damage, and the escort ships lost a fifth. In this battle, the Japanese Navy only sank one aircraft carrier, the heavy cruiser Mikuma, and one destroyer, plus three submarines.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet, which suffered heavy losses in this battle and lost almost most of its aircraft carriers, was unable to fight again in a short period of time. The two aircraft carriers lost by the U.S. military in this battle, plus the aircraft carriers Lexington and Langley lost before this battle, only one aircraft carrier left in the U.S. Pacific Fleet is still complete.

The fiasco of the First Battle of Midway led to the US military being completely passive in the entire Central Pacific theater. And after the capture of Midway by the Japanese, the Japanese bayonets had already stabbed Hawaii. On the Central Pacific front, the U.S. military could only concentrate its forces on the Hawaiian Islands.
