Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 647 Ocean

After the greetings, Ye Feng said, "Dear bosses, the military situation is urgent right now, so I won't say any more polite words. According to what we know, the Japanese transferred three divisions from the three northeastern provinces a few days ago. The original force of more than 100,000 troops is now less than 100,000."

"These 100,000 Japanese troops will also be dispersed in various strongholds such as Panjin, Shenyang, and Fushun."

"The Japanese plan is very clear. They feel that they cannot hold the three northeastern provinces and cannot stop our high-spirited underground party troops. They have already thought about evacuating from the Yalu River, but the Japanese high-ranking officials will not give up easily. They plan to use cities and strongholds to delay our attack."

"So our next battle strategy is very simple. Charge forward as hard as we can and try to recapture the three northeastern provinces in the shortest possible time."

The Japanese wanted to fight a war of attrition in the three northeastern provinces, using cities, counties, and even towns to continuously defend and block in order to wear down the underground party troops. Faced with this situation, the best way was to fight quickly and in a timely manner, strive for a wave of breakthroughs, and break the enemy's tactical calculations.

In fact, Ye Feng had already informed the old generals about these situations.

Today's military meeting mainly discussed other combat tasks.

For example:

After recovering the three northeastern provinces, should their army cross the Yalu River and continue pursuing the Japanese?

Or should we immediately turn south and sweep the area south of the Yangtze River to completely end the war on the Chinese land?

Or they could spend a huge amount of money to build a large naval force, guard the ports here, and wait for the outcome of the Pacific War. Once there is an opportunity, they could immediately launch a naval operation and attack the Japanese mainland.

Ye Feng could not decide these major strategic issues alone, so he invited these old generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

Lao Peng expressed his own opinion, "My opinion is to resolve the domestic war first, march the army south, cross the Yangtze River, defeat the devils in the south, and achieve a comprehensive victory for the whole country. As for the defeat of the Japanese, we have almost no naval power, and we are currently unable to compete with the militarily powerful Ugly Country. As for dealing with the affairs of the defeated Japanese, we really can't participate much."

Lao Liu also said, "Instead of worrying about the interests of dealing with Japan's defeat, it is better to end the domestic war. Only when there is a unified and complete China that can pull all forces together can we have more say when facing the capital powerhouses."

Old Peng turned his head, looked at Ye Feng and said, "Comrade Ye Feng, in your opinion, how long will it take for our army to recapture the entire south?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "It will take about a year and a half, but what about the army in the southwestern mountain city? That old man will not give in easily, and will definitely occupy the special terrain conditions of the southwestern mountains to resist."

"The Japanese fought in the southwest battlefield for more than two years. Although they achieved certain victories, they suffered heavy casualties and failed to achieve their strategic goals."

"If we were to take over the attack, it would probably take about two years."

Huaquan said with a kind smile, "In fact, this question is not a question at all. Think about it, our underground party troops have already recovered the entire north. The army is heading south to successively recover Hubei, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi and other large areas of land. By then, our army will gradually grow from less than 500,000 now to one million or two million troops."

"Just imagine, facing such a powerful army on our own land of China, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"With the army approaching, can those high-ranking officials in Shancheng who value money as their life hold out?"

"By then, as long as the policies of our underground party are spread, I'm afraid many of the opposing troops will surrender in droves."

Ye Feng heard it and it seemed to be true. Two local armies were fighting. One side controlled more than 90% of the land, had a million soldiers, was strong and powerful, and was full of momentum. The other side huddled in the mountains and lacked resources.

Under the crushing of such absolute power, how long can the weaker side hold out?

Even if you, an old man from the mountain city, are still dreaming and don't want to admit defeat, what about the people under you?

When it comes to interests, who would still give you, an old man, some face?

Live or die.

Faced with this almost unsolvable problem, I believe that those people on the other side who are always obsessed with profit will make the best choice.

Ximi from the Thirteenth Army, who had been silent, spoke up, "The southern strategy is very important, but I think we should also withdraw some troops and gather them in the three northeastern provinces to deal with the Japanese after they declare defeat."

Ye Feng asked curiously, "General Ximi, do you have any other opinions?"

He now holds a very high position and is the absolute commander, responsible for commanding the troops in the entire north.

But Ye Feng is young after all, and he shouldn't address people by their positions directly in front of these elders.

Therefore, Ye Feng felt that calling him "General" was the most appropriate and proper.

Ximi said, "Look at the map. This is the sea area of ​​our Shenzhou. It spans nearly 20,000 miles from north to south. However, with such a long coastline, there are not many places that can reach the ocean."

"Starting from the southernmost part, the South Asian countries here, after the war is over, if they block the sea passage, it will be difficult for us to reach the outside world from here."

"Then there is the Treasure Island in the East China Sea. We don't have a strong navy right now, so it's hard for us to control it. But in order to have a sea route to and from the Pacific Ocean, we must take back the Treasure Island no matter what the cost."

"Then there is the Yellow Sea, all the way east, across from it is the Japanese mainland."

"Let's imagine that if the Ugly Country, which has a powerful naval fleet, stationed troops in Japan and established a military base, their fleet could radiate thousands of miles of surrounding sea areas. Even the Formosa Island would be covered and monitored by them."

"As a newly established Shenzhou, we will naturally catch up with other capital powers in the world in various fields such as military, economy, and people's livelihood. In order to achieve this goal, we must trade with countries around the world and purchase various advanced technologies."

"If the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and other directions are strangled by the Ugly Country's navy, what kind of suffering will we face?"

"We will be stuck in our own waters, unable to get in or out."

"The Ugly Country, which has the upper hand and is a capitalist country that makes money through war, will strangle us and will surely act like a vampire, constantly taking our resources and wealth."

"If we want to break the impasse and deal with the defeated country Japan, we Shenzhou cannot give in. We must take a leading role in this game between major powers and seek our own interests."

"The Ugly Country is powerful. With their strong ships and artillery fire, they can freely roam the sea. It is difficult for us to compete with them, right?"

Ye Feng certainly understood that as long as he could gain a dominant position in dealing with the defeated Japan in the game between great powers.

After the establishment of the new Shenzhou, we will be able to completely open up the sea route to the Pacific Ocean.
