Chapter 1342: Change your thinking (first update, please subscribe)
What to do after losing?
Qiu Zhenzhi is not the only one who sees this problem. After all, the imperial military has not only led the world military revolution in recent years, but also has many famous generals in the military.
Among the many military generals, the most obscure one is Zhu Sihai, the director of the Imperial Armored Forces.
He was one of the first armored officers in the empire. In the French Expeditionary Force more than 20 years ago, the armored vehicle unit he led inflicted heavy losses on the Prussian army. He became famous for this battle, but it was just this battle. After the division, he
It seems to have disappeared.
At that time, not many people knew that his disappearance was directly related to the secrecy of the "tank", because the "tank" was a secret weapon. As the commander of the army, he naturally rarely showed his face. Although a few years ago, along with the
With the leak of the "water tank", the level of confidentiality of the "tank" dropped a lot. Since then, the tank has appeared in front of the world, but Zhu Sihai still rarely appears in public.
As the empire's director of armored forces, and of course an insider of the "Thunderstorm Plan", Zhu Sihai now also has his worries.
"Oil, spare parts, ammunition, and the tank unit may be the vanguard of assault, but its operation cannot be separated from gasoline, spare parts, and ammunition. If our troops are fighting in Australia or North America, once the sea transportation line is cut off, the first
It is the tank troops that have lost their combat effectiveness."
Staring at the chessboard, Sun Hu, the imperial army general, nodded slightly and said.
"In the final analysis, this battle is mainly focused on fighting abroad. The only things that need to be considered locally are Colombia and Venezuela, but according to the plan, they will be resolved as the fuse of the war before the first phase of the war breaks out..."
Any war has a fuse. If the empire wants to strike first, it also needs a fuse. In order to trigger a war, the staff officers designed several potential fuses.
Colombia and Venezuela are just two of them.
Sun Hu thought for a while and then said.
"So in general, the Army's operations should be focused on Australia and North America. Our industrial development in the north has been quite good in recent years. According to the mobilization committee's estimate, the industrial potential of the Beihai Governor's Region can fully support the army independently.
Of course, the battle in the western and central United States does not mean that there are no hidden dangers in the North Sea ethnic area. Its biggest hidden danger is insufficient population. Therefore, during the war, at least more than 1.5 million troops need to be dispatched from the mainland to the northern region, and these people only
You can go there by boat..."
As soon as the admiral finished speaking, Zhu Sihai said directly.
"Colombia!"
"What?"
"Sir, we must take Colombia now, and then build the Pan-American Railway to connect the Ecuador Railway and the China-US Federal Railway into a whole. In this way, our mainland transportation line will be opened up. Reinforce the North
The troops do not need to go through a long sea voyage, they can take a train directly from the mainland to the north..."
Zhu Sihai's mind was not on the chessboard at that time. He took the initiative to hold the chess pieces and thought while talking.
"In this way, not only can a large amount of merchant shipping tonnage be saved, but it can also free up the navy to use its limited maritime power in other areas - such as the escort of the Pacific route. From the mainland of the empire to Australia, this is a
Very vulnerable routes. We have to consider the possibility of interception by the Royal Navy at sea."
"Pan American Railroad..."
When Sun Hu mentioned the "Pan American Railway", his eyes were filled with some kind of yearning. After all, he was an army officer.
As a continental country, the importance of railways is self-evident. Moreover, the "Pan American Railway" is not just a railway, it is also an important channel for the empire to connect the northern and southern continents through the railway system.
It is precisely because of this that in the past few years, the empire has tried every means to promote the construction of the "Pan American Railway" through various methods. However, the construction project of the "Pan American Railway" has not been progressing smoothly.
After all, as an international railway, it needs to coordinate and agree with the countries along the way, and this is the biggest problem. Especially from Ecuador to Colombia, they have been very resistant to this railway. They think it is an imperial intervention in other countries.
Hands on internal affairs.
But, in reality?
They simply look at the promotion effect that the road will have on their country's economy. Of course, the "Pan American Railway" is also an important tool for the empire to plunder those countries. Various resources from countries along the way can be continuously transported back to the empire through railways.
The empire's industrial products can be continuously sold to these countries through the railway. It is like a huge straw, sucking out the resources and markets of the countries along the way.
Of course, none of this was done deliberately by the empire. No matter which country built this railway, the final result would be the same. But, what were they opposed to?
It is for empires to build.
"For now, Colombia will never agree to our building this railway."
"If they don't agree, then we will find another way."
Zhu Sihai said directly.
"What they reject is just the empire. So what if this railway was not built by the empire? Just like the railway built by the Mexican Railway Company in the Central American Federation, that railway was not built by the empire. If we cannot come forward,
Then let’s change to a puppet.”
The reason why he made this suggestion was that Zhu Sihai visited Mexico in a private capacity a few years ago and took a train from Mexico to the Sino-American Federation. He naturally knew how that railway was built, so when faced with the "Pan American
Railway" dilemma, he naturally had other ideas.
"Change the puppet?"
Sun Hu immediately became interested.
"What's the alternative?"
"It's very simple. Aren't they opposed to the Empire building this railway? Then let's switch to other countries to build that railway. What do we need? It's just a railway. It doesn't matter whether it was built by the Imperial Railway Company or not.
, the important thing is - we need to connect this railway with our railway, at least, after the war breaks out, we can quickly build the connection line, and then use the railway line to transport the army to the north, to Mexico, to
The Midwestern Region of the United States.”
Zhu Sihai thought for a while and then said:
"They reject the empire, so will they reject Britain? Will they reject the United States? Let's find a way to let the British do the same and the Americans can just build the railway. Anyway, as long as our troops reach there in the end, no matter what the railway is,
Whoever built it, in the final analysis, it is for our use. Even if they destroy it, we can repair it in a short time. However, if there is no railway there, it will be difficult for us to build the "Pan American Railway" at least within a few years.
"."
Sun Hu thought for a moment and then asked.
"Then who should we use to come forward? We need to find a suitable person to come forward to do this."
The right candidate?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Sihai said.
"Investigation Department. There should be suitable candidates in the Investigation Department. We can coordinate with them there."
