Beiyang reactionaries

The most suitable one is Li Jishen.

From within the People's Party, the People's Party developed among the army and students in the early years.Moreover, Li Jishen is also a founding member of the People's Party and is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party.

More importantly, Li Jishen used to be the top general under Duan Xun. He was the commander-in-chief of the army for a while, responsible for the daily affairs of the military department, and had a deep foundation in the army.Although he left the army later, the Construction Corps formed is now a large-scale force in China.Only when Li Jishen takes over Duan Xun's position can the current situation be stabilized.It can suppress the opposition voices within the People's Party and balance the problem of the army.

Of course, this is just Duan Xun's preliminary plan.

Although Li Jishen is Duan Xun's student, he is actually older than Duan Xun in terms of age, and belongs to Duan Xun's peers.When Duan Xun chooses his successor, Li Jishen and others from the 80s are not considered.Duan Xun's arrangement was not to find a successor, but just in case.

"Now is the last moment. Quickly organize the troops formed by the Construction Corps into the sequence of field troops and hand them over to the generals in front. Then quickly form the second batch of troops as a reserve team. My idea is that the Xinjiang Construction Corps quickly To form the Xinjiang Third Corps and Xinjiang Fourth Corps, the Mongolian Construction Corps should also quickly form the Mongolian Third Corps and Mongolian Fourth Corps. The same is true for the Northeast.”

There was no large-scale armed construction corps before, because the time has not yet come.And once the Construction Corps is armed on a large scale and begins to enter the ranks of troops, it will cost a lot of money.

Now that the war is about to start, there is no such concern, and the construction corps can be equipped on a large scale.

"Yes."

Deng Yanda nodded.

As the war is approaching, the troops formed by the construction corps must quickly join the sequence of field troops.Run in with the generals on the front line.Then the construction corps needs to continue to form troops and become a supplement to the front-line troops.

"Minister Han (Han Linchun), the equipment department must ensure the supply."

"Yes."

"Also, the Construction Corps continues to expand its army. This year, a large number of recruits will continue to be recruited to form the Construction Corps."

"Yes."

"Chief of Staff Xu, how is the preparation of the reserve team?"

"Chairman, deployment has already been made. In order to support Xinjiang, the Lanzhou Military Region concentrated its troops in Gansu, and deployed No.17 Corps and No. 27 Corps in Lanzhou, Jiuquan, and Zhangye. Qinghai also deployed the 44th Army and the Eighth Cavalry Army. Once there is a need in Xinjiang, Commander Hu Jingyi of the Lanzhou Military Region will personally lead the 27th Corps and the [-]th Corps, and the troops of the two Corps will enter Xinjiang."

Xu Yongchang immediately stood up and introduced the deployment of the General Staff to Duan Xun.

Originally, China reorganized two years ago, and the national army was organized into 25 corps.However, China has been expanding its army in the past two years. Up to now, the Chinese field force has reached 30 corps, plus other miscellaneous army units. The current size of the Chinese army has exceeded 550 million.Including the air force and navy, the current number of Chinese troops exceeds 600 million.

This does not include the current military establishment of the Construction Corps.

"As for the Northern Military Region and the Northeast Military Region, I think the current strength is sufficient. The insufficient strength can be pulled out from the Construction Corps. There are more than 300 divisions of the Construction Corps in these two regions. 50 divisions is easy."

"Ah."

"Moreover, the General Staff is going to recall some retired officers and soldiers to form the No.30 First Corps and No.30 Second Corps, and they will be able to go to the battlefield within half a year."

"it is good."

With so many troops, Duan Xun felt very relieved.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands and don't panic in your heart, you are talking about such a situation.With 600 million field troops in hand, there are 800 million officers and soldiers of the Construction Corps behind, as well as a million retired officers and soldiers, and tens of millions of reservists who have received preliminary military training. This is confidence.

"Tankman, how about the pilot reserves?"

"It won't be a big problem."

Xu Yongchang is very confident.

Dao: "Chairman, I have made statistics. Since the second five-year plan, we have produced nearly 40 tractors, more than 4 planters, and more than 6 combine harvesters. We have also produced One million trucks. Our country currently has more than 70 tractor drivers and more than 100 million truck drivers. These people can drive tanks with a little training, and there will be no problems. And in the past five years, we have vigorously developed armaments. It has also trained a large number of tank players. So at present, there is no shortage of tank players in our country."

"The same is true for pilots. Among the more than 2700 aircraft in our country, trainers account for about 1200. Aviation schools and the military have vigorously trained pilots, and they train more than 4000 pilots every year. In addition to them, my country's civil aviation institutions currently have more than 5000 There are more than [-] pilots. Once the military needs them, these people will be able to fly military aircraft after receiving certain training. Moreover, we are also vigorously building trainer aircraft and plan to increase the number of trainer aircraft to [-] above the shelves."

Duan Xun was very satisfied with Xu Yongchang's answer.

He nodded and said, "After the Supreme Council makes a statement, the troops on the front line must enter the first level of combat preparation."

Duan Xun made final preparations.

The world situation is getting more and more chaotic.Italy thought it was going to get a big deal. After declaring war on Britain and France, it immediately sent troops into France.From Italy's point of view, the French army, which was beaten steadily by the German army, had long lost its courage.

Unexpectedly, after entering the territory of France, he was beaten by the remnants of the French army and lost his face.

But such a small victory cannot redeem the defeat at all.Facing the menacing German army, France simply couldn't stop it. On June 1939, 6, France officially signed the instrument of surrender.

For more than 40 days, within less than two months, France, the former hegemon of the European continent and the world's industrial power, was defeated and surrendered in this way.

The world was shocked by the surrender of France.

The most nervous is Churchill.Churchill said in a speech to Parliament: "If we stand up to Hitler bravely, all Europe will be liberated, and the whole world will be able to go out into sunny open fields. But if we fail, the whole world including the United States, including Countries with which we are familiar and concerned will be plunged into the abyss of a new dark age."

Too bad Churchill couldn't stop France from surrendering at all.

On July 1939, 7, a week after France surrendered, Japan declared war on Britain.Japanese troops begin to attack British Malaya.

"Chairman, the British War Cabinet has passed the contract we signed. The British War Cabinet has informed us that the Indian army and administrative units are withdrawing, and our troops can be stationed in those places."

"it is good."

Duan Xun was overjoyed.

Negotiations between China and the UK have yielded results.Now is the most dangerous time for the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom really does not want to, and does not dare to have a military conflict with China.After all, once there is a conflict with China, China can send millions of troops to India and Myanmar in a short period of time.Such an enemy cannot be provoked by Britain now.Under the persecution of the Chinese army, Britain could only choose to back down.A contract was signed with China soon.

Churchill was bullish.

Under the current pressure from Germany, Churchill refused to surrender.In history, Germany stormed Britain, and thousands of planes bombed Britain in turn.At that time, Britain was isolated and helpless, and the situation was very serious.But under such difficult circumstances, Churchill did not choose to back down.Churchill's temper is so stubborn.But Churchill has a bad temper, but he is a qualified politician, who knows the importance and choice.He knows where to be tough and where to back down.

He knows where Britain's core interests lie.

Therefore, the United Kingdom chose to back down on China's side, and faced Germany with a strong response.Churchill was very decisive and did not procrastinate at all.The "China-India-Myanmar Boundary Clause" signed by China and Britain was quickly approved by the War Cabinet.Because Churchill does not want to provoke an enemy like China again at this time.

"Also, the Governor of India, Hope, sent us a message. I hope to buy some arms from our country."

"arms?"

"Yes. India is currently building up troops on a large scale, and it is estimated that dozens of divisions will be formed in a short period of time. However, India does not have many military factories, and the military factories are very small. Their military factories can only The production of ordinary rifles and some bullets is completely unable to meet the needs of the British army. Therefore, the Governor of India hopes to purchase a batch of heavy weapons from our country, including tanks, cannons, and shells."

The UK is really in a hurry now.

After all, Britain is now besieged by European countries, and there is an enemy in the Far East, Japan.Fortunately, Britain is really powerful. The so-called "Empire on which the sun never sets" is no joke.

The UK is currently caught off guard.

But Britain has the Commonwealth of Nations and has vast colonies.The current situation is the Commonwealth of Nations and the British colonies. It is true that the rich pay the money, and some people give the people.As the most important place among the British colonies, India bears a very important responsibility.

Large numbers of troops are required.

In fact, India has formed more than 30 divisions, and there are dozens of divisions to be reorganized in the future.But these troops lack weapons, mainly heavy weapons.Because India itself does not have any military factories and cannot produce heavy weapons.

The current situation in the UK mainland is very critical, and it is still unable to reach out to help India.Therefore, the governor of India has heavy responsibilities and great pressure.Turning around, the Governor of India is looking at China.
