Xiong Dingming's proposal is just in line with Xiang Xiaoqiang's thoughts. Now the aircraft carrier formation has achieved great victory, everyone has been taught a lesson, and everyone has realized the role of the aircraft carrier, and the aircraft carrier has become the protagonist of the new shipbuilding plan, which is nothing more than a few ships. Now Xiang Xiaoqiang believes that his mission in the "aircraft carrier" has been completed, and the so-called "aircraft carrier small staff" should give up. It is better to leave it to these professionals of the General Staff of the Sea to command. He should turn to the "hot submarine work".

He planned to practice Deniz's "exclusive secret" - wolf pack tactics in the Pacific Ocean first. At this time, wolf pack tactics are really exclusive secrets. Even Germany hasn't started using it yet.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to establish a "submarine staff" like an aircraft carrier. Because the Ming Navy has its own submarine force command, and the submarine force is relatively independent of the surface ship force, which is much independent than the "aircraft carrier fleet". A special submarine command organization is not only redundant, but also disrespectful to the existing submarine force command.

Therefore, after discussing with Xiong Dingming, Xiang Xiaoqiang decided to establish an "Office No. 0" to be responsible for the planning, development, improvement, and submarine strategy of the Ming submarine. It is equivalent to the "Navalent Department" of the submarine force. That is to say, the submarine command is the "Military Command" of the submarine, and the Office No. 0 is the "Military Ministry" of the submarine. In this way, the functions are separated, there is no repetition, and there is no conflict with each other. In theory, Office No. 0 is an administrative agency and has no power to command the submarine force. However, the head of the Office No. 0 is Xiang Xiaoqiang, and Xiang Xiaoqiang can influence Xiong Dingming and mobilize the submarine force through Xiong Dingming to achieve the effect of indirect command.

As for the name "Office Zero", it was also for the sake of confidentiality and had nothing to do with the word "submarine". Moreover, the name "Office" is also intentionally concealing the scale of this institution, giving people the illusion: it is just an office. In fact, this should be similar to a cross-departmental committee. As for how large the scale will develop, no one can say now. What can be said is: it is not just an office.

Of course, there is nothing confidential about the submarine itself, but Xiang Xiaoqiang still hopes to keep it as confidential as possible for the brand new submarine tactics and the design of the new submarine.

Within a few days, the framework of Office Zero was built. The first to enter the office to help Xiang Xiaoqiang were Qiu Qiu and Xiuxiu, as well as their direct subordinates - the other ten submarine soldiers on the Grasshopper. In addition to those who had served directly on the submarines, there were also some people from the General Administration of Military Industry, the General Staff of the Sea, and the submarine force. There were not many personnel at present, but they had already involved some major parts of active service, logistics, strategy, tactics, equipment, R&D, and intelligence.

Obviously, this Office Zero will be larger and longer than the "Aircraft Carrier Small Staff". Because aircraft carrier warfare can completely change the power of both sides and change the strategic situation in a battle, and can fully reflect the power of new tactics. For example, sneak attacks on Pearl Harbor and Midway Naval Battle. Submarine warfare is a long-lasting thing, which can be said to be an economic war that requires long-term persistence to see the effect. However, once the effect is seen, it is often a complete defeat of a country.

"Everyone, what I want to say is a brand new tactic," Xiang Xiaoqiang said to the members of the military section of Office Zero in the conference room, "This is a submarine warfare tactic that is different from the past. I call it 'wolf pack tactics'. The word wolf pack may not sound nice to you girls. But we men will think it is more powerful... Ahem, it is more appropriate. Well, basically, this is a cluster tactic, basically a submarine maneuver tactic for submarines on the water surface. That is, through the predetermined tactical configuration, the submarine can detect the enemy, maintain contact with the enemy fleet on the water surface, and summon other submarines as much as possible to carry out coordinated attacks.

"Actually, some people from the Navy Department, the General Staff of the Navy, and even the Submarine Command have other views on this. Their view is that submarines will still operate alone and fight alone in the future war. Therefore, you must be mentally prepared. Our new tactics will still be opposed by the authoritative departments of the Navy. But it doesn't matter, just like the previous armored forces, aviation forces, and aircraft carrier forces, our submarine forces will soon be shut up through facts."

...

At Wuwang Villa, the secret negotiations between Ming and Su have been going on in a difficult situation for several days. It can be seen that Stalin really doesn't want to fight anymore. As the war continues, as the Ming army pilots continue to train, the number of veterans continues to increase, and the Goshawk fighters continue to be put on the front line, and the Soviet army's air superiority gradually becomes less obvious. Now it has entered the battle between the two sides for air supremacy.

On the ground battlefield, the advantages of the Ming army have been shown. The experience advantages gained from long-term wars have gradually been taken out, and the huge advantages of light weapons have also been taken out. Now the Soviet army does not have submachine guns, and the equipment density of machine guns is far less than that of the Ming army. Moreover, the Soviet army's machine guns are either bulky Maxim heavy machine guns, or turntable light machine guns with very low firepower and continuous shooting power.

The Ming army's machine guns have gradually been unified into the "Woodpecker", and the light machine gun has now begun to be eliminated. The woodpecker is an air-cooled general machine gun. Although its continuous shooting ability is not as good as a water-cooled machine gun, it can quickly change the barrel, and its firepower is far stronger than that of Maxim, and its suppression force is very strong. The biggest advantage is that it is light and flexible, and it can be fired by putting down the bipod, and it can be carried away after being shot. Sometimes it can still be carried while walking. In this sense, light machine guns are indeed unnecessary.

The Soviet army's heavy machine guns are not only bulky and difficult to move, but also have a strong dependence on water. However, the areas where the two armies fought in wars were in Central Asia, in Hami, Dunhuang, Guazhou and Yumen, which happened to be drought and extremely water-deficient areas. The Soviet machine gun team often could not find water at all, so they had to pour precious drinking water into machine gun buckets. The machine gun consumed so much water, sometimes even drinking water was used up and had to urinate in. The Ming army could fight as long as someone had water to drink.

Now the Ming Dynasty's plan of discord has also worked. Japan was full of suspicion and hostility towards the Soviet Union. It began to speak loudly and constantly put forward more aid requirements. The amount of oil and steel required was doubled compared to before. The Soviet Union was also overwhelmed and could not bear the "insatiable" of Japan. Now the Ming Dynasty also saw that the Soviet Union was eager to save its own war fruits. As long as it could be saved, it would be willing to truce and retreat from the quagmire of war.

The problem is that the conditions proposed by the Ming side were too high. Both sides knew clearly that the Soviet side could not fully agree with the large area that the Ming side asked for. Not only was the area comparable to the entire northern border, but it was also full of forests, abundant water sources, and much richer coastal areas than the northern border. In the past few days, the Soviet representatives have been trying to reduce the price according to Stalin's instructions, trying to give the Ming side as little as possible or to give it to another place. Because the Soviet Union's main military port in the Far East, Vladivostok, was within this place.
