Battle of the Third Reich

"I will not turn a blind eye to Siam's transformation. This ambitious prime minister and his conquest are a huge hidden danger. As soon as he encounters the right opportunity, it will definitely explode." Xu Jun supported the map table with his hands Along, the eyes glanced at the emperor officials around the table.

"What we are doing now is to detonate this dangerous bomb in advance and reduce the loss to a tolerable range. From the current information, the development of the situation has not exceeded our previous estimates, and the overall situation is facing We are developing in a favorable direction, and the overall situation of the empire’s Asian strategy is gradually taking shape.” The head of the empire’s expression was extremely serious. No one dared to interject without his permission. The conference room was silent.

"We cannot invest too much troops in Asia. Although the manpower and resources from Asia are very important for the empire, we cannot forget that it is too far away from Europe, not to mention that we are facing the threat of a powerful enemy. Once the Eastern Front is at war, it will be a brutal war beyond everyone's imagination." Xu Jun said that he straightened up here and turned to walk in front of the huge world map hanging on the wall.

The head of empire reached out, and the commander-in-chief, standing next to the map, quickly handed over the slender rattan pointer.

"Siam’s location has great strategic value. If this country is used as a starting base, it can attack British Myanmar to the north, cut off the communication line between French Indochina and Myanmar, and cut off the railway and Yunnan to China. Road traffic blocks the western border of China. To the east, you can attack the hinterland of French Indochina, cut French Indochina into two sections, and to the southeast, you can attack the most prosperous Mekong Delta and take off from the airport in Siam The bomber's bombing range can cover the entire Indochina Peninsula.

To the south, you can attack British Malaya. The naval fleet based on the Malay Peninsula can control the entire Nanyang route. Army troops can go straight down the peninsula to occupy Singapore and control the Strait of Johor. Once these logistics lines to Europe were cut off, the garrison troops in the colonies were simply unable to maintain long-term operations. "Xu Jun took a pointer on the map to mark it. Although he knew something about it, the generals and marshals seemed to listen to these contents for the first time, and they held their breaths in silence.

The lord of the empire stopped and took a sip of water. The performance of the generals and marshals made him very satisfied. In this respect, he clearly surpassed the former prime minister.

"However, to achieve this strategic goal, there must be a premise that the attacks on Myanmar, French Indochina, and the Malay Peninsula must be carried out simultaneously. This is obviously not acceptable to the Siamese government, 20 After some years, there may be some possibilities, but the current Siamese army can only barely defend its own country. The country that has the real ability and ambition to complete this strategy is Japan." The head of the head of state slammed the Japanese islands. Location.

The head of state held the pointer under his armpit and walked to the map table, where von Busch and Paulus, who had originally stood at that position, quickly flicked aside.

"Ketter, the headquarter has conducted four large-scale deductions for Plan J before, telling everyone what the best result was." Xu Jun raised his head, his blue eyes staring at the battle chapter.

"Yes, my head." Kettle, who was asked by Leng Buding, involuntarily fought a cold war.

"According to the order of the head of state, the War Bureau conducted four large-scale deductions of possible wars in Asia. The commander who played the Red Party, that is, the colonial coalition, was General Moder." With a sigh of relief, Kettle looked around. Colleagues told.

"It is Field Marshal von Loeb who is the Blue Commander." Kettle looked at von Loeb, who was across the table, and the newly recruited Field Marshal nodded slightly to acknowledge.

"All the data is revised according to the latest information obtained, many of which we have never known before. This is really to thank our Odin Eye, because of their excellent work, the headquarters can complete this deduction." Kettle looked at Weiller, and the other person owed to his colleagues with knowledge and interest.

"The results of the four deductions all ended with the victory of the Blues. Among the best results, the Red side decisively abandoned the border area and contracted the troops to a few key nodes because they learned the attack time of the other side early. This stopped the Red Party’s rapid advance in the early days. But because of the loss of the maritime supply line, the troops quickly fell into a logistical dilemma. Eventually, General Model successfully withdrew some of the troops to northern Myanmar, relying on the mountain jungle terrain to force The red side entered a deadlock, but the blue side still lost half of French Indochina, the entire Malay peninsula and part of the Dutch East India region." Kettle finished his nod to Xu Jun.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Celtic." Xu Jun nodded to the chief of staff.

"We have calculated that the Japanese army wants to achieve this strategy by using at least six main divisions, which accounts for almost one-third of their current main force, and also requires logistics, weapons, ammunition, and food supplies. , Will be an astronomical figure." Xu Jun glanced at the offering beside him.

"You seem to have any problems, General von Busch." The emperor's head asked gently.

"Thank you very much, my head." Feng Busch, who had just been promoted to the rank of general, was flattered. Judging by his slightly shaved jaw, General Busch had made sufficient preparations to participate in today's meeting.

"What I want to ask is, why didn't the empire directly destroy Siam, we only need to station troops in these dangerous areas." Busch's attitude toward this leader, who was almost twenty years younger than himself, was like a new military school. s student.

"It's a good question, very good." The head of the empire's face showed the kind of "aggressive" smile common to the generals.

"We want to create a trap for the Japanese, a perfect trap for them to jump in. We want to let them not focus on the places where they should not be paid attention. Siam is my choice for them The trap, you see, has been bullied by European colonialists, nationalist sentiment is rising, and military cooperation with Japan has been carried out for a long time. The government is full of politicians and senior officials who have a friendly attitude towards Japan. It also has such important strategic value. What a tempting country this is." Xu Jun lifted a strand of blond hair that slipped from his forehead.

ps: Thank you for your support. (To be continued.)
