Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

But it is the first time to issue a hard order like this!

"Greece is not the focus of our attention now. The first focus of attention now is the income of the Central Asian region. There are too many resources waiting for us to develop. For the expansion of the southern sea area, I need more and more comprehensive support. !"

Guan Xuqing's goal made the participating military leaders feel how heavy the burden was on their shoulders.

"The expansion of the southern sea area, once there is a conflict, the British, French and other parliaments will jump out and fight with us immediately!" Xu Shichang reminded worriedly.

"Of course I know how important it is!" Guan Xuqing replied indifferently.

"In front of these politicians, especially those from Britain and France, do you need any reason to attack China? In fact, you don't need too many reasons, as long as you know that the Western powers absolutely don't want to see their colonies flow out of their palms. "

"Maybe, this is an enemy of the mainstream world!"

"Yes, so what if you are an enemy. Twenty years ago, I would definitely be an honest man with my tail between my legs, but what about 20 years later? Now I have the strength and qualifications to challenge these countries. In fact, I have nothing to talk about with these countries, and From the very beginning, I never planned to compromise with these countries, China and these countries are destined to fight fiercely, and the reason is very simple, if he doesn't come to beat me, I will not let them go!"

"Sending troops to Australia is a matter of time. We need this vast land, which has more living space and strategic resources. Just like the rise of those old world powers, the rise of China will also bring blood, but the blood The target is different, they are those Westerners who wear a gentleman’s dress on the outside but are cruel and dirty on the inside. China has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop and grow. Once this world war is over, if we don’t solve these world powers, wait for them to relax Come on, join forces again to isolate us? No, instead of passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative."

"Not only do we need to take advantage of the chaos in the world to plunder more future resources, but we also need to create a very safe external space for China, especially the United States, which has unimaginable war potential, so I did not give this The country has the opportunity to become the world's policeman. I want to fight the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, which have hurt us the most, all back to their original shape, or don't fight, and fight for 50 years of peace if you want to fight!!!”

Iran, Middle East Military District Headquarters.

Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Middle East Military Region of the Empire, paid close attention to the development of the anti-Chinese movement in Greece, but turned his attention to the Balkan Peninsula.He may be too utilitarian, and he may never put others in his eyes, but one thing is that he is very self-aware, and he never interferes too much with things he doesn't understand, and once he makes up his mind If you want to intervene in something, you will definitely spend some effort on it in advance.

Now that the emperor has made up his mind to let him go to Greece to do something, Li Zongren will naturally not be unprepared, and he doesn't want to be a boring gourd in the headquarters all day long, staring at the small as he did during the Sino-US war He watched a group of big men discussing strategic and tactical issues in front of him, but he didn't show any performance.

In these two days, he had someone obtain a detailed geographic map of Southern Europe and a recent map of the distribution of Greek troops. With the help of the Imperial Security Bureau, it was really easy to get these things.When he got the map, he found an excuse to gather together Sun Chu, Fang Jing, Huang Zhengcheng, and other large and small combat staff officers, under the guise of studying the various possibilities of the future direction of the Greek war. It is to let these experienced generals and military think tanks give him advice and work out the best plan for fighting in Greece.

You must know that the people who can participate in this meeting are actual combat commanders who really grew up in the Sino-US war. Among them are commanders who are good at conducting large-scale operations, such as Sun Chu; There are commanders who fight against armored corps, such as Fang Jing; there are commanders who are good at breaking through formations and winning in chaos, such as Huang Zhengcheng.Of course, those middle and senior commanders and combat staff who attacked from all directions to New York also have their own specialties. For example, the commanders who marched all the way west from the Seattle area are extremely good at commanding mountain operations; Commanders are good at commanding operations in water network areas and swampy areas; while commanders coming from the direction of Atlanta are proficient in commanding operations in jungle landforms, grassy hills and plains.Li Zongren gathered the front-line commanders of these battlefields together to make suggestions for the Greek war that he would intervene in the future. The scene was extremely lively. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that the think tank of the Supreme Command is not as strong as this lineup. .

During the research process, these people did their best to make the entire combat plan as flawless as possible, for no other reason. Everyone was afraid that this commander would settle the account once he suffered a loss in Greece. on their heads.

After a few days, a large group of commanders and combat staff brainstormed and formulated a nearly complete set of combat plans based on factors such as the terrain conditions of each possible theater in Greece, the characteristics of the enemy's military deployment, and possible changes.How to advance on the battlefield, how to deploy troops on each front, which area to advance in each offensive direction; What to do with the increase of troops; in which direction the Greek army in a certain area may retreat after being attacked, how to deal with them when they retreat, how to effectively encircle and finally annihilate the enemy troops assembled in a specific area, How to prevent the Greek army from retreating to the sea, how to prevent the Greek army from retreating towards Turkey, and so on.

To put it bluntly, these commanders and combat staff have exhausted their minds, taking into account as much as possible the various situations that may arise on the Greek battlefield and the corresponding countermeasures.But even so, Li Zongren and others have repeatedly emphasized that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly.No one can guess what will happen in the next moment at the previous moment. Therefore, no matter how detailed and appropriate the campaign plan is, it is only a plan, and it must be continuously improved according to the development of the battlefield situation.

After the meeting, Li Zongren telexed the combat plan to the Army Department.

When Xu Shichang got this battle plan, he was really surprised.This battle plan... tsk tsk... It is absolutely considered complete, so complete that it doesn't look like a battle plan, but a systematic and detailed military plan aimed at commanding essentials in various combat environments. textbook.To be honest, if this thing is used in military academies and used as teaching materials for those students who are about to graduate, it will not be out of date, but it is different from ordinary military textbooks, this thing is completely based on Greek The terrain, troop distribution, and comparison of the situation between the enemy and the enemy are created as templates.

Looking at this meaningful military textbook, Xu Shichang couldn't help being surprised by Li Zongren's energy.There is no doubt that those generals who have experienced many battles and are somewhat rebellious have been fully exploited by him. Otherwise, such a thing, it is impossible for ordinary people to get it.It is not difficult for these generals who have really come from the war to write an autobiography or something, and then integrate them into a textbook based on pure actual combat experience, but it is rare to bring them together and focus on a certain The campaign system expresses their views, and at the same time, they can humbly accept the views of others while expounding their own views.why is that?Without him, most of these guys are quite arrogant in character, and it is too difficult for them to agree with others and deny themselves in terms of strategy and tactics.

Although Xu Shichang didn't think that this "military textbook" alone could make Li Zongren invincible on the battlefield in the military, he felt that this approach was very good.If there is a chance, Li Zongren can make good use of it and really compile a practical and detailed military textbook, which is a very beneficial thing.

Xu Shichang, who had this idea, became a little excited for a while. When he was so excited, he picked up a pen and wrote a few big characters on this most detailed campaign plan-"Military Lesson Plan".After writing these words, he seemed to think of something, and marked "under conventional warfare" in front of these four words.

"Military Lesson Plans for Conventional Warfare", and soon after, a brand new book "Military Lesson Plans for Conventional Warfare in a New Technological Environment" appeared, which is an important textbook used by various military academies in the empire.Of course, this book has been revised and supplemented by many military generals and military experts at the beginning of its writing, but in the final analysis.It appeared all because of Li Zongren's important military meeting.Undoubtedly, it is impossible for the later military cadets to know how this book came about. They only know that the appearance of this book is of great significance. It has been translated into dozens of languages ​​and circulated internationally. From this book, you can get quite a lot of copyright fees.

Who rules the ups and downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 160 and Six of the Lion's Expedition

Greece, which has just entered autumn, has already seen the scene of everything dying.In Calpacion, near the southern foot of the Pindus Mountains, a British army division is slowly moving towards the Pindus Mountains along a road soaked in melted snow.

This British army is a motley army commanded by Major General Maindel. The reason why it is called a motley army is that within the scope of the entire division, many troops belong to the friendly forces of the British member states, not From the Greek mainland army.The third regiment, commanded by Captain Andrew, is from New Zealand and is a pure New Zealand infantry regiment.

Although this is a miscellaneous division, its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. To put it bluntly, any unit in this division is battle-tested, and Captain Andrew's Third New Zealand Infantry Regiment once Participated in the extremely tragic Battle of Crete in World War II.Of course, in that battle, the British army was the defeated side. They were beaten by the Germans and lost their troops.But in any case, it can be regarded as an army that has seen the "world" on the ground. At least those Greek anti-government armed Greek People's Liberation Army guerrillas with backward weapons and equipment are not their opponents.

This time, four British divisions set off from the Peloponnese Peninsula, crossed the Bay of Pat, and then landed at Messolonghi, marching northward in an attempt to attack the main base of the Greek People's Army in the north. The connection between the North and the South of the People's Army, and this battle-tested miscellaneous division is one of the four British divisions.

As the troops marched, the [-]rd New Zealand Infantry Regiment of Captain Andrew was at the forefront of the troops as a forward. Less than one kilometer behind him was the [-]st Tank Regiment of the British Army.

The Pindus Mountains in autumn have a special beauty. Looking from a distance, the mountain ranges are gray and white. The gray is the autumn forest, and the white is the snow and ice that never disappears all year round.Occasionally, on the side of the road between the hills, you can also see a gurgling clear stream. On the surface of the clear stream, one or two pieces of ice falling from nowhere are slowly floating.

The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and Captain Andrew felt a little uneasy. From the current point of view, such road conditions are obviously not conducive to the marching and fighting of the tank troops behind. If some muddy roads allow a tank to go forward They are richer, but it is impossible for two tanks to drive side by side. Not only that, even if a tank wants to turn around here, it is not an easy task.If under such circumstances, the troops were ambushed by Greek partisans, it would be a disaster.

To be honest, as a commander who had dealt with the German mountain troops, Captain Andrew did not agree with the march plan this time. The rapid advance from Karpenisi to Trikala would require crossing the entire brand on the way. Dus Mountains.It is conceivable how difficult it is for an army of tens of thousands of people to cross mountains and ridges, and some of them are mechanized troops.More importantly, the southern foot of the Pindus Mountains has always been an area where the guerrillas of the Greek People's Army are more active, although various intelligence shows that the main force of the Greek People's Army is still in the Athens Plain and Zomox , Larissa, but... But what, Captain Andrew can't say well, he just feels that something is wrong.

"Rumble..."

Just when Captain Andrew was feeling so uneasy, a faint sound of a motor came from the sky outside the car.

Putting his head out of the car window, Captain Andrew glanced in the direction of the voice in the sky. It was three British "Spitfire" fighter planes. Fly over the mountains.There is no doubt that this is a small team responsible for investigation.

Watching the three fighter planes go away quickly and finally disappear behind the mountains and shadows, Andrew sighed softly. While he felt a little relieved, he also felt that his worries these days seemed unnecessary.Yes, after some accidents a few years ago, the original hundreds of thousands of Greek People's Liberation Army no longer existed, and now there are only tens of thousands of people who are still fighting in Greece.Even an anti-government army with such a weak force lacks the necessary military equipment.They don't have any weapons and equipment like tanks and planes.Facing such a group of rabble.What else do you have to worry about?Are you afraid that they will jump up and bite you with their teeth?

Shaking his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Captain Andrew's face.He patted the seat of the co-pilot in front, and said to his communications soldier: "Hopson, pass me my cigar. Well, and, you get off at the front, go to the communications company to wait for news, and see us Is there any good news from the Air Force."

"Okay. Captain." The signalman opened his rucksack, took out a cigar wrapped in a steel cylinder, and said while handing it to his officer.

Less than two kilometers directly in front of the New Zealand Third Infantry Regiment, there is a four-forked intersection in the shape of a claw, with two mountain ridges in between.Divide the road leading to the depths of the mountain into three.The mountains of the two ridges are not steep, the slope is very gentle but densely forested, and bare oak trees are everywhere.It was very quiet.In the center of the intersection where the four roads intersect, a road sign is erected, and the four road signs clearly mark where each road leads to.

In a forest directly in front of the intersection, Colonel He Jian and Colonel Liu Xiang of the advance troops of the Dragon Army squatted in a small command post that was temporarily built and covered with gray and white tents on the top. There was still whispering between the two from time to time.

When three British fighter jets flew over the woods with a rumbling sound, He Jian raised his head, glanced at the ceiling of the command post, then pouted and said, "You know? I like these British people because they can always think of complicated things very simply. Do they really think that they can see the situation on the ground at a glance by relying on this kind of aerial reconnaissance alone? If so, then It was indeed an incredible thing that the Germans could not break into London."

"Hehe," Liu Xiang smiled, and said absent-mindedly, "Actually, this can't be entirely attributed to the negligence of the Brits, the main reason is that they didn't expect us to move so quickly and arrive here quietly. They laid out a huge sack. Otherwise, I'm sure these Brits would have packed up and gone to sea."

"Well," He Jian nodded, with a look of excitement flashing across his face, he licked his slightly chapped lips, and whispered, "Do you think we're going to have a head-to-head battle with the British this time? Simply teach them a lesson? The intention of the military region headquarters is not clear, and there is no news from the front army headquarters, just to tell us to fight freely. Sigh, you are talking about it, let’s let go Do you want to fight from the middle of Greece all the way to the seaside?"

"No one can say for sure, but I think the scale of this battle will not be small. No matter what, we must drive out all the British in the direction of the Balkans." He Jian arched his waist and twisted his numb thighs. , and said at the same time, "Didn't you see that the commander of the military region has come? Wherever he appears, there are always storms. This time the movement is probably not small, and some time ago I heard that the British were still secretly tossing around in Turkey. , this time maybe we will..."

"report!"

As soon as Liu Xiang said this, there was a voice shouting a report from outside the curtain at the entrance of the command post.The two captains, who were only in their early thirties, immediately stopped talking. Liu Xiang stood up first, and said with a straight face, "Come in!"

The curtain was lifted, and a messenger soldier in neat military uniform walked in quickly.

"Sir, I just received news from the 32nd, 33rd, and [-]th Independence Regiment that the enemy has completely entered our ambush circle. The major asked if we can formally launch an attack." The correspondent said loudly.

"Oh?! Let's go out and have a look!" The two colonels said in unison, and then walked towards the door with big strides.

On the hill outside the command post, He Jian first climbed up a six to seven meter square volcanic rock, then picked up the binoculars on his chest, and looked towards the mountain road in the southwest direction.

The location chosen by the two colonels is quite good. Standing on this rock, you can have a clear view of the road surrounded by forests and mountains in the southwest. Thousands of British troops.Slowly advancing toward an open intersection.Perhaps it was because they had not been harassed by guerrillas during this journey, the infantry formation at the front seemed a little loose.From a distance through the telescope, it really looks like a mob.

"Fortunately, the intelligence also said that these British guys should not be underestimated. What kind of troops have fought tough battles? In my opinion, they are purely a group of shrimps and crabs." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, He Jian said dismissively, "The commander It is estimated to be a piece of waste, the Pindus Mountains were originally an area where the Greek People’s Army guerrillas were active, and they walked over hundreds of kilometers. Didn’t encounter half a attack, could they not notice the abnormality?!”

"It doesn't matter what it is, anyway, our task is to eat them." Liu Xiang still looked ahead through the binoculars, and smiled nonchalantly, "But I think the timing is almost the same, and it should be our turn to harvest."

"Hmm." He Jian nodded, then turned around and said to the correspondent, "Notify your leader immediately to let his two mountain artillery battalions conduct horizontal shelling on the enemy's tank troops at the rear waist position. Cut off the way for their armored troops to retreat for a while. Tell him that his shelling is the clarion call for our first battle, let him play it beautifully for me, or I will transfer him to the logistics to sit on the bench!"

Who will rule the ups and downs: World War III (closed volume) Chapter 160, Greek Fascism?

"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier suddenly stood up and responded.

Andrew absolutely never expected that the troops he led would encounter such a fierce attack from the enemy under such circumstances. He almost subconsciously realized that this sudden ambush was definitely not something that the Greek People's Army guerrillas could launch.The dense white smoke lines that appeared in the air vividly explained what kind of weapon the enemy was using to launch the first wave of attacks.

The Chinese autumn wind rocket launcher is enough to make any army under its cover tremble. Now, this powerful artillery is used on this hapless British army.

The deafening explosion rang through the entire mountain range almost instantly, and clusters of flames rose amidst the explosion of flesh and blood and mud, and the originally quiet and peaceful mountain road turned into a hell on earth in an instant.
