Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili was a little out of breath. He calmed down and said: "I have decided that Chen Jitang's armored corps will be the vanguard in the war in Afghanistan. Chen Cheng's troops will be temporarily used as a reserve force to monitor the situation in the five Indian countries and the border. This order Effective immediately, act in six days, code-named 'Bamiyan'!"

"Yes!" The generals stood up collectively and replied loudly.

Meanwhile, an emergency military meeting at the Supreme Command in Beijing has been going on for more than three hours.

"Mr. Feng, we have tanks, cannons, and planes. Why should we rely on the local tribal forces? As soon as your majesty orders us to take Kabul for you!" Zhang Zuolin, deputy chief of the army's general staff, raised his head said the lawsuit.

Feng Xianghua said with a smile: "Yuting, you think the problem is too simple. Although Afghanistan is small, it is a very complicated place. The population of this country is 38 to 44 percent Pashtun. Tajik accounts for 25%, in addition to Uzbek, Hazara, Turkmen, Baluchi and Nuristan and other more than 98 ethnic minorities. The official languages ​​are Pashto and Dari. Persian, other local languages ​​include Uzbek, Baluchi, Turkish, etc. More than 90% of the residents believe in Islam, of which [-]% are Sunnis, and the rest are Shiites. Do you think such a country is similar to India Is it the same? Not the same! If we want to gain a firm foothold, we must have the support of local powerful factions. Even if there is no powerful faction, we must create a powerful faction! After occupying an area, we must first garrison troops to control this area for a long time , but without the support or support of local forces, no army can gain a foothold, understand? Moreover, the terrain of Afghanistan is complex, most of the area belongs to the Iranian plateau, and the plains are located in the north and southwest and near the border with Pakistan in the south The red and yellow desert. Therefore, once the war breaks out, it will be a huge test for our logistics supply."

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, seemed to understand, and nodded.

At this time, Security Bureau Chief Zhao Bingjun hurried in and whispered a few words into Feng Xianghua's ear, only to see Feng Xianghua's expression suddenly changed and he was speechless!

London, England.10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Winston Churchill's official residence.

"Your Excellency Aiden, as the Minister of War of the Empire, how do you think we should deal with this change that is currently taking place in Afghanistan?" Churchill was very concerned about the fact that Afghanistan, his controlling country, might be threatened at any time. India will control Afghanistan later, and the threat to the British Empire is bound to be huge.

"Your Excellency, from a purely military point of view, I think we can deploy ten to twenty divisions to enter Afghanistan quickly to help the Afghan government eliminate this unstable factor!" Aiden, who had just been awarded the rank of first-rank general Answer loudly.

"Your Excellency Aiden, the problem is that although I have an army that I can use now, I dare not send it in that direction. Britain is now in danger, not to mention domestic opposition forces, and it is being attacked by emerging forces headed by China everywhere in the world. It is very unwise for us to send troops to completely occupy Afghanistan at this time and continue to engage in military confrontation with China!" Churchill said helplessly.

"But your Excellency, the relationship between us and the Afghan government has always been good, and Afghanistan has always regarded the British Empire as an umbrella. The Chinese army is ready to move on the border between India and Afghanistan. We must express something, otherwise the Chinese will one day The sword will be directly inserted into Buckingham Palace!" Aiden said excitedly.

"You are right, but the times are changing, and we should change too. The current international situation is too complicated. Our strength is slowly weakening, while there are more and more enemies. Can we survive in such adversity? Our regime depends on us!"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, do we still have to retreat? The retreat in India has already greatly damaged the international image of the British Empire. If this continues, will our country still have a little image and status in the international arena? "

"The inability to send troops does not mean that we will ignore them. I suggest that the firefly tanks of the border troops be provided to the Afghan local government nearby, and another [-] rifles should be provided to them. We will decide on the rest depending on the development of the war! "

"Then what do I do?"

"You are the Minister of War of our British Empire. Wherever you go, it is a signal. Therefore, I suggest that you go to the border between us and Afghanistan to inspect the troops, so as to minimize the possibility of other countries interfering in the war in Afghanistan. , what do you think of this?"

"I obey orders, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"

"However, I still want to remind you that according to the information provided by the Sixth Intelligence Department, this incident not only involves China, a potential enemy country, but other countries are also likely to be involved, so I hope you While preserving the dignity of our country, we must strictly restrain our emotions, otherwise, the consequences may be disastrous, do you understand?" Churchill said earnestly.

"I see, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"

At this time, the general headquarters on the border between India and Afghanistan were surrounded by guard posts, and even the elite armored soldiers acted as sentries temporarily.A "Huaxia" type light machine gun opened its black muzzle, and anyone who dared to approach without permission would be shot to death.The soldiers passing by outside didn't know what was going on inside. They looked around curiously, but they would be yelled at by the officer and left soon. Based on this, some soldiers even guessed whether they had an important mission to come to Afghanistan in person, because they were far away. From a distance, I saw that all the generals walking back and forth outside the general headquarters were first-class generals who were shoulder-to-shoulder generals.

Tang Shengzhi, Chen Jitang, Chen Cheng, Zhang Xiaozhun...these high-ranking generals of the empire were all worried and restless on their faces at this moment. The commander-in-chief's sudden fainting at the meeting made them all panic, and they could call All the doctors who came here were summoned here in a hurry. Chen Jitang stomped his feet and finally revealed the illness that the commander-in-chief had concealed for a long time.

There is also a heavyweight present, that is, Zhang Zuolin, the No. [-] figure of the Army Department who just rushed to the Indian frontline headquarters!

After Feng Xianghua received the news that Jiang Baili was seriously ill, he immediately assigned Zhang Zuolin to take a military plane overnight to visit the front line. When Zhang Zuolin arrived, Jiang Baili passed out and was lying on the hospital bed. The general scolded like hell.

"What the hell are you eating your scars for?" Zhang Zuolin scolded Chen Jitang with anger all over his face, "Jiang Baili is so ill, why didn't you tell me earlier, if I had known earlier, even if you disobeyed his military order, you would have to send him back In China, if something happens to Fang Zhen, I will be the first to let you go!"

Chen Jitang was very annoyed at this moment, yes, if he could have disobeyed the commander-in-chief and told everyone about his illness as soon as possible, maybe such a thing would not have happened, and he did have a great responsibility in this matter.

Tang Shengzhi came out to persuade him: "It can't be all blamed on Bernan. The commander-in-chief's temper is clearly there. Even if we know about his illness in advance, will he listen to us? Even if the emperor sends a telegram himself, he may not be willing." Back to Beijing."

"These doctors have been inside for a long time. What are they doing? Why hasn't anyone come out panting?" Zhang Zuolin, who has a bad temper, walked back and forth anxiously, muttering and cursing non-stop.

Middle East Storm Chapter 744 The advent of penicillin

As he was speaking, a medical officer with the rank of colonel came out from inside.Several generals surrounded him immediately, asking questions non-stop, so that the medical officer didn't know who to answer first.Zhang Zuolin stopped them talking and asked, "How is Fang Zhen's situation?"

The medical officer shook his head, his tone trembling: "I'm afraid it won't work, the root cause of the disease in the commander-in-chief's body was buried a few years ago, and it was not a serious problem when it was discovered as soon as possible, but now, it is too late, we have tried our best. "

These words hit the generals like a bolt from the blue.In an instant, these senior generals who regarded life and death as nothing on the battlefield were all ashen and dazed.

"Is there no hope at all?" Chen Jitang asked with a trembling voice holding the last ray of hope: "Doctor, no matter what, we must save the commander-in-chief's life. I beg you, Old Chen!"

Zhang Zuolin pushed the medical officer away, kicked open the door, and rushed in. Behind him, the generals squeezed in one by one.

Jiang Baili was lying on the bed very calmly. Although his face was as pale as gold paper, there was a faint smile on his mouth, "Marshal Zhang is here too, so everyone is worried. It seems that I may not be able to make it." It’s really sad that a soldier didn’t die on the battlefield.”

"It's okay, Fang Zhen..." Zhang Zuolin looked at Jiang Baili's extremely haggard look, and wanted to comfort him, but suddenly found that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Jiang Baili stopped him with a smile: "There is no need to say words of consolation, Commander, please help me fulfill my last wish. After I leave, General Zhang Xiaozhun will be in charge of the general military operations, and General Bonan will be in charge of the war in Afghanistan. Plan. Before the person who takes over my position arrives, it is best not to announce the news of my death in the army. None of the doctors who treat me are allowed to leave here for the time being. Anyone who leaks the news will be severely punished. If after six days The person to replace me has not yet arrived, the 'Bamiyan' plan started on time, if my guess is correct, the successor must be General Feng Yuxiang, whose talent and ability are far superior to mine"

There were sobs in the room, and these tough men let tears fall from the corners of their eyes. Their commander-in-chief, at this moment, was still concerned about the battle ahead.

"It's a pity that God can't give me a few more years." Jiang Baili murmured, his eyes were a little lax at this time: "I can't let me see with my own eyes the majesty of China's majesty in the world, and I can't see it It is a pity for Fang Zhen that the dragon army is in the world."

Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear to watch this kind of scene any longer, and stomped out of the room.

Chen Cheng quietly wiped away his tears, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said vigorously: "Commander-in-Chief, your illness is definitely fine, please analyze the future war for us." In fact, he is not I really want to hear that this general, who has experienced too much life and death on the battlefield, knows that letting a dying person keep talking may be able to prolong his life.

Sure enough, Jiang Baili became a little more energetic when he heard this: "My judgment is that after the war in the Middle East, the Dragon Army will not have any major military operations within one to two years. The military strength of the Soviet Union is growing rapidly. , and their troops continue to move frequently on the Sino-Soviet border. I judge that China and the Soviet Union will have a war within a few years, and Europe, from my understanding of Britain and France, they cannot fight a protracted war. Even if China does not want to intervene, it must intervene in the war in Europe. If it wants to govern the world, it must govern Europe. However, this is not an easy task. There are many European powers, and the overall strength is still very terrible. Once they unite to deal with China, it will be very difficult. A tough nut to crack."

"Commander-in-Chief, which troops from the empire do you think Beijing will send to Europe?" Chen Jitang interjected and asked, "Our troops are now the closest to Europe. After conquering the Middle East, the road to Europe will be opened, and we will go on an expedition to Europe." The heavy responsibility belongs to us, right?"

Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head: "At present, the empire has four major expeditionary military forces. I think that General Feng Yuxiang's troops swept across Southeast Asia, and General Li Zongren's troops hoarded heavy troops in the Northeast and Mongolia. Our army is on the front line of India, and only General Chiang Kai-shek's troops There has never been a mission. By this year, he is serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, and his troops have reached more than 50, and the number will reach 80 in the first half of next year. Moreover, he has eight of the twenty armored regiments in the empire. So I Seeing that the mission of the European expedition must be completed by him, our army will be a reserve force ready to support at any time and take on the task of stabilizing the rear and monitoring the enemy. Chiang Kai-shek is the youngest general among all the generals in the empire , but he is a war genius, this person seems to be born for war, even for large-scale wars, young generals can hardly surpass him."

Having said that, Jiang Baili's breath obviously weakened, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Then he opened his mouth, and blood spewed out of his mouth one after another.

"Doctor! Doctor!" The generals in the room were in a mess, shouting frantically.

When he was in a panic, he saw the sound of footsteps outside the house, Zhang Zuolin strode into the house, stared and shouted at the generals in the room: "What the hell are you panicking about, Jiang Baili is not dead yet! Fucking scars!" Get out of here!" While talking, two foreign doctors came out from behind Zhang Zuolin, holding a white medicine box in their hands, hurried to the bedside, opened the medicine box and took out the stethoscope, very seriously, for Jiang Baili Check the condition.People didn't dare to disobey Zhang Zuolin's order, and walked out of the house one by one in despair, but their hearts were still uneasy, and they all stood at the door and looked inside anxiously.

After a serious examination, the foreign doctors whispered to each other, quickly took out a glass needle tube and a few small white glass bottles from the medicine box, diluted the medicine, and used a tampon dipped in alcohol to spray Jiang Baili A dab on his buttocks drove the needle into his skin.

Zhang Zuolin and the people outside the house watched the situation on the bed silently, everyone held their breath, as if even time stopped at this moment!

As the medicine was injected into Jiang Baili's body little by little, Jiang Baili's brows suddenly trembled a few times, and there was a slight sound from his mouth. After about 2 minutes, there was no movement at all.

Chen Jitang couldn't bear his temper and shouted loudly: "Commander-in-Chief..."

Zhang Zuolin turned his head and gave Chen Jitang a hard look, and Chen Jitang immediately swallowed the following words back.

After the injections, the two doctors performed a careful auscultation on Jiang Baili, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and packed the medicine box in a leisurely manner.Zhang Zuolin rushed over and asked in a low voice, "How's the situation?"

The doctor nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's more timely. The patient has already fallen asleep."

Zhang Zuolin let out a long breath, with a smile on his face, pointed at the sleeping Jiang Baili and cursed: "Damn, you have a scar, you, Jiang Fangzhen, have tormented everyone this time, even the emperor is thinking about it. "

Zhang Zuolin came to the generals with a smile, and said, "Don't be so sad, you bastards, Jiang Fangzhen will be cursed to death by you boys."

Chen Jitang was about to cry, and begged, "Commander, tell me how the commander-in-chief is doing."

"It's okay, let's do whatever we need to do." Zhang Zuolin went out of the house while talking, and the two foreign doctors still stayed in the house for further observation and treatment of Jiang Baili.

A group of people surrounded Zhang Zuolin, who were excited and talked to each other. Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief has a way. Seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately moved in the heavenly soldiers and generals..."

"What kind of heavenly soldiers and generals? Before I came here, I ordered people to invite these two German doctors from Shanghai Union Medical College Hospital. I just arrived on a military plane. The Germans are not good at fighting, but their medical treatment is world-class. You didn't see it just now." Well, after one injection, Fang Zhen will be fine."
