“Comrades, Siam is located at the core of the Indochina Peninsula. It is a central country that can radiate to the entire Indochina Peninsula countries;
To the west, Asan Kingdom faces each other across the sea;
Bordering the Emerald Country to the northwest,
It faces Nanzhang and Khmer in the northeast and east, the Gulf of Siam in the southeast, and faces China across the sea;
Bordering the Andaman Sea to the southwest, the territory extends southward along the Kra Isthmus to the Malay Peninsula, connecting with Johor, and spanning the Indian Ocean and Longping Ocean.
It has both land and sea, superior location, rich resources and extremely high strategic value.
The mountainous jungles in the north, the central plains, the plateaus in the northeast, and the tropical islands and long coastline of the southern peninsula.
The plains account for 40% and are very suitable for mechanized operations. If our Chinese Expeditionary Army wants to counterattack the Southeast Asian countries, Siam must be captured. If the Japanese want to defend the Southeast Asian countries, Siam is also a place they have to defend.
At present, the Japanese troops stationed in Siam only have one second division plus an independent brigade, with a total strength of more than 30,000 troops;
Due to the central location of Siam, they can receive support from all directions. It is no exaggeration to say that if they attack Siam and cannot quickly defeat the second division, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will face The entire Confederate Army's operational dilemma. "
As soon as Chief of Staff Zhong Guoliang finished speaking, Sun Fumin, commander of the New First Army, stood up and said:
"Commander-in-Chief, since this is the case, I suggest that the mechanized divisions of the New First Army and the mechanized divisions directly under the headquarters be formed into an armored assault group, and break into the plains in central Siam, which is most suitable for mechanized troops to fight;
First break through the center, then outflank the two wings, and give the Japanese a blitzkrieg from the east. Before the Japanese southern army can react, they will wrap up the second division. "
Chu Xiong nodded, looked around, and then asked:
"Any other comments?"
Yan Haoyu, commander of the New Second Army, stood up and said:
"Comrades, I have a different opinion. Lao Sun's style of play is naturally no problem. Use blitzkrieg to annihilate the second division and gain the initiative in Siam;
Then, we have to face the siege from all sides by the reinforcements from the southern front. Siam is the central country, which is also the place where the Four Wars were fought. To completely occupy Siam is to carry a big burden!
The Southern Front Army has hundreds of thousands of troops. The Indochina Peninsula is a long and narrow area, and the Japanese Southern Army is distributed in more than a dozen countries. If we fight one country after another, even if the people are exhausted, the logistics supply will be exhausted;
It is better to regard Siam as a handful of fat meat, and just swallow it in one mouthful or not, leaving hope for the Japanese to hold on, attracting their elite forces one by one, and then consuming them on the battlefield of Siam. Isn’t this better than running hundreds or thousands of kilometers to fight with them? "
After hearing this, Chu Xiong couldn't help but applaud, and then said:
"There should be applause here!"
Everyone came to their senses and applauded to show their approval. After Chu Xiong saw the applause stopped, he said:
"Yan Haoyu's idea is very creative. In the past, what we were most afraid of was fighting a war of attrition, because I couldn't afford it, but now and then;
We now have Lao Shi, a foreign rich man, paying the bill (Stevie looked arrogant after hearing this, which is a compliment to them). Materials are not a problem at all. Siam is only two to three to one hundred kilometers away from Guangguang Industrial Park. This The supply lines were as far away as we could bear.
On the other hand, for the Japanese Southern Army, many of their important materials, such as ammunition, came from the mainland. Even though they had captured a lot of John Bull before, they were all concentrated in Johor, thousands of kilometers away. The supply line is much longer than ours;
We can afford it, but the Japanese can't afford it!
The three armies of the Expeditionary Force took turns to fight against the Japanese, and so did the flying detachment. The old led the new, which was perfect for training our young pilots in actual combat;
During the rest of the time, we should engage in construction and construction. We should fight against the Japanese in Siam for a year or two, and consume all the elite of the Southern Army. If we then counterattack later, it will be devastating! "
Stevie finally understood, and his eyes shone brightly. Lao Chu was right, what Yingjiang didn't fear the most was fighting a war of attrition, and he immediately decided:
"Chu, generals, don't worry about supplies. Just go ahead and fight. Don't use soldiers if you can solve them with cannonballs. Just use massive amounts of steel to smash them to death!
The aircraft will be replenished as much as it consumes. I, a wealthy foreigner, will buy loads for you. It is best to hang all the Southern troops in Siam! "
There was a warm round of applause in the conference room, which was given to Mr. Shi.
Of course, there are still many twists and turns, and Chu Xiong did not explain clearly. For example, he needs the Siam battlefield to buy him time to wrestle with Joseph;
For example, he needs to cover up people's eyes and ears, improve the Emerald Country Industrial Park, and then temporarily move the "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" project to the Emerald Country. The Emerald Country is rich in water conservancy resources, and the electricity problem can be fundamentally solved, etc.
After determining the overall combat policy, the headquarters began to formulate specific combat plans, mobilize troops and materials, and make pre-war preparations with great fanfare. They even brought in European and American media to build momentum, which was just short of making the Siam counteroffensive the same as that of later generations. of live broadcast.
Chu Xiong has been interviewed by major media from various countries more than once, making all kinds of nonsense and despising the chicken!
"General Chu, you don't seem to pay much attention to Siam. You are bound to win Siam."
A female reporter with a sickly voice asked slightly provocatively.
Chu Xiong said disdainfully:
"The generals I killed were enough to strengthen a company, why should I take them seriously!
Half a year, no, three months!
In three months, I’ll invite you to Thailand to eat durian! "
The female reporter exclaimed very exaggeratedly:
"General Chu, if I understand correctly, you want to end the Siam campaign within three months and drive the chickens out of Siam?"
Chu Xiong replied very confidently:
"Ms. Alice, I am already very conservative. In fact, one month is enough.
why are you laughing? How about a bet! "
"General Chu, how much Eagle Yuan do you want to bet?"
Chu Xiong smiled and said:
“An eagle points, an eagle points!
Ms. Alice, because you are bound to lose, I don’t want you to lose too much——”
"Baga, Chu Xiong is so arrogant! This is an insult to me and myself. I have to make this bet with him. I only bet one cent on him, and I bet that he will not be able to enter Thailand within three months." Beijing!
Let the reporter announce it to the public, and I will take his bet! "
Thousands of miles away, in the Eagle Palace, Franklin's eyes narrowed with joy. There were two newspapers on his table - the newspapers where Chu Xiong and Yuren made a bet from afar.
"George, how much do you want to bet on this bet of the century that the Alaska Casino has offered?"
George shrugged and said:
"One hundred eagle dollars, the odds are 2 for 3, I bet on Chu Xiong to win!"
Franklin thought for a while and said:
"I bet 1 eagle point, if you want someone to win, I will also deduct 1,000 tons of supplies and 200 aircraft."
George asked very curiously:
"Your Excellency, you don't think highly of Chu Xiong?"
"I'm optimistic, but I hope the bet between Chu Xiong and Yu Ren can last for a year and a half. Anyway, it's Chu Xiong who loses, and he's the one who loses face. We just need a thousand tons of supplies."
George seemed to understand, but he didn’t seem to understand!
(Adolf: I bet one mark on Tsaritsyn within three months.
Joseph:Follow me, one ruble!
Victory: I bet on a chili pepper! )
