    "Zian and Baili are here, sit down quickly."

    After listening to Zhuo Fan¡¯s ideas, Yue Peng first arranged for him to stay in Beijing, and then took Jiang Fangzhen to the presidential palace.  As soon as the two entered the door, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the study. After entering, they found that Yang Qiu, Murong Han, Bei Zuyi and Chen Guofu were talking about something unknown. They were chatting and laughing with happy expressions.

    "The president is in a good mood today. Has Congress reached an agreement? Hao Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you free today? Is your wife's leg feeling better?" Jiang Fangzhen kept asking questions as soon as he sat down.  .

    As we all know, Yang Qiu has several capable men.  Wang Zhengting is in charge of the overall situation, Song Ziqing is in charge of national defense, Yue Peng is the pillar of the army, Gu Weijun is slick, Chen Guofu is unrivaled in party affairs, Bei Zuyi is the country's money bag, and Murong Han is known for his harshness and iron-blooded toughness.

    Because of this character, Yang Qiu appointed him as the Minister of Justice after he became president, and he worked with independent justice Huang Yuansheng to sort out the national judicial work.  This is an extremely difficult task. After all, compulsory education has only been popularized for more than 20 years. It is really difficult to establish the authority of the law without completely separating the relationship between clan and land.  But he rose to the challenge and set an example with force and resoluteness. As the National Security Bureau was merged into the Ministry of Justice, he was even nicknamed "The King of Hell".  Although it doesn't sound good, his prestige among the people is second only to Yang Qiu and Yue Peng, because in the ten years since he became the Minister of Justice, he has cracked down on crime and established legal authority, which has made the country's gun, drug, trafficking, smuggling, corruption, and  Major and vicious crimes such as corruption have dropped significantly.

    But just because he had many things to do and did a good job, he took less care of his family. As a result, his wife had a car accident a year ago and her legs were paralyzed.  Therefore, Murong Han has always felt ashamed of his wife. In addition to working, he has spent most of his time at home with his wife this year.  Thinking of this, the smile on his face faded a little: "I regained consciousness last month, I don't know when I will be able to stand up."

    Yang Qiu also felt a little ashamed of being such a good assistant, and persuaded her: "Hao Yu, take her out for a walk when you have time, but staying at home is not conducive to her recovery. Since she is conscious, there is still hope."

    Murong Han nodded and said nothing. Yue Peng knew that he was under great pressure and quickly changed the subject: "By the way. Hao Yu, what were you talking about just now? You are smiling so happily. Will the president invite you to dinner later? By coincidence, I  Both Baili and I are free tonight."

    ¡°Get out of here and eat in your canteen.¡±

    "Okay, the president won't keep me. Then I can only go to Baili's house to make a living."

    "hehe."

    Everyone knows that Mrs. Yue went back to her hometown to visit relatives, her eldest son was away in the army, and her two daughters were married.  Although there was a guard at home, there were a lot of things going on recently, and he didn't find it troublesome to cook, so he simply lived and ate in the army.

    A few jokes made Murong Han temporarily forget his worries and said with a smile: "Our Chief of General Staff is quite pitiful. Otherwise, guess what we were talking about just now. If you guess it correctly, I will guarantee you to eat Mrs. Yue."  Come back. How about it?¡±

    "Okay, don't go back on your word." Yue Peng deliberately took out his cigarette and smelled it a few times, then smiled and said, "Has the British money arrived? Or has the Polish experts and the uranium mine been settled?"

    "Chief of Staff, you didn't guess right this time." Beizuyi said with a smile: "The money from Germany has indeed arrived. The British side will not be able to gradually hand over the aircraft until next month. Poland's Kaczmarz and others have already agreed  Mr. Rozoki, an intelligence cryptography expert who has worked for our country for six years, but asked to support them in recruiting soldiers from Polish exiles to form the Zionist Army when the time comes. He has gone to the northwest Karakum listening station with people from the Intelligence Agency. He saw  After completing the intelligence bureau's cryptanalysis of the Soviet army, it was said that an initial breakthrough could be achieved in a week at most. 1,200 tons of uranium ore from Belgium had passed through the Suez Canal, and on the Congo side, Jin Bihui and Lei Meng had already sent a telegram, saying that in seven days at the latest  I promise to get on the ship and return home.¡±

    "No? That's hard to guess. Could it be that Wang Zhaoming and the others agreed to what Baili just said?"

    "No. They are still fighting over the Constitution." Chen Guofu shook his head again.

    Although the top leaders of the Democratic Party did not openly oppose the war, there was a fierce commotion below.  To put it bluntly, it is not that they are unaware of the international situation, but they want to take this opportunity to expand their influence.  At the same time, they are also worried that once the wartime act with full presidential power is implemented, Yang Qiu and the national society will tilt towards dictatorship. After all, Yang Qiu has only been separated from dictatorship by a piece of paper for so many years.  There will still be scruples during peacetime, but after entering the wartime bill, the president's power will become unlimited!  They have been suppressed for decades and finally have some improvement. It would be strange not to worry.

    Therefore, the Democratic Party has been clinging to the ballot box and refused to implement the wartime bill.  Although the National Socialist Party has 70% of the seats, this bill must require the country to be attacked and 90% of the votes of the National Assembly to be passed.  At present, these two conditions are not mature, and there are indeed many people in the country who are opposed to the war and feel that they should just reap the benefits.That's why the atmosphere seemed inconsistent.

    "Why are they still so stubborn?" Jiang Fangzhen interrupted the guessing game and looked at Chen Guofu, dissatisfied with the procrastination of the Congress: "Guofu, what are you doing? We have so many votes, why can't we force it to pass?"

    Murong Han had been the Minister of Justice for a long time, and he had matured a lot in seeing the problem. He defended Chen Guofu and said, "Brother Baili, you can't blame Guofu for this matter. There are indeed many people in the country who have not yet turned around, and even many of our internal  Don¡¯t you also think that Europe and the United States should be allowed to fight first and then reap the benefits? Moreover, according to the Constitution, unless the war breaks into the country, it will be difficult to get out the 30% of votes controlled by the Democratic Party.¡±

    "So, if Stalin holds his breath and doesn't take action in the northwest, we can only watch dumbly?"

    "Yes, this is what the Constitution stipulates! No matter how many external wars you fight, it cannot be a reason to implement the Presidential Wartime Act. As long as it is not transferred to the Presidential Wartime Act, military expenditures, war preparations, material operations, etc. will all be covered by Congress.  Power review, which means they can control every cent of your military expenditure!"

    The Constitution is the supreme law. Everyone here has more or less participated in the revision and formulation of the Constitution of the Republic of China.  But none of them expected that one day this constitution, which laid the foundation for modern China and restricted power to ensure balance, would make them disgraced.  Jiang Fangzhen also couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a wry smile: "Just reaping the benefits? It's really whimsical. What kind of army will we encounter after they go through bloody battles?! I would rather fight with new soldiers than use new soldiers to fight hundreds of people."  Thousands of veterans crawling out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

    Yang Qiu strongly agrees with Jiang Fangzhen¡¯s words. In fact, many people don¡¯t understand this.  The simplest example.  In the parallel world, the Soviet Army 42 years ago and the Soviet Army 42 years later are completely two different armies.  Veterans who have fought in the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad are really not afraid of air raids and bombings.  The current National Defense Force has not received much cruel training. If they want to reap the benefits, after they fight, they still don't know how many times they will have to invest in casualties to win.

    Yue Peng also agreed, but he was not as excited as Jiang Fangzhen.  The reason why the Constitution stipulates this is to prevent someone from using external war to carry out disguised dictatorship, so it cannot be said to be wrong.  After all, in times of peace, there are often regional conflicts. You can't just say that the president has full power if the scale is a little bigger, right?  if that is the case.  It is the country and its people who are injured.

    "It's not that there is no way." Seeing the two men frowning, Murong Han continued: "In addition to the highest-level emergency bill with presidential powers during wartime, the Constitution also has a temporary one-hundred-day wartime bill. As long as the overseas war reaches the  It can also be used if it is of a certain scale and may threaten the national border."

    "What's the use of a hundred days? Can we reach Moscow in a hundred days?"

    "Looking at you, I think you shouldn't stay in Beijing. You should go to the northwest to command a division." Seeing Jiang Fangzhen getting more and more discouraged, Yang Qiu smiled and winked at Chen Guofu.  The latter took out a document and handed it to him: "Look at this, Yan Baohang just sent it."

    Jiang Fangzhen opened the file and took a few glances at it, when his face instantly turned into a blush of excitement.  Upon seeing this, Yue Peng quickly grabbed it and stood up after reading it.  It seems he still doesn't believe it.  Pointing and loudly asking: "President, is this true?"

    "This offensive operation plan was planned by Nagata Tieshan and Doihara Kenji, just to provoke an all-out war between us and the Soviet Union. According to reliable intelligence, Stalin had obtained it three days ago!" Yang Qiu nodded.  Explain it.  It turned out that shortly after China and Japan signed the secret treaty, the intelligence agency got the news.  It is said that some senior officers and staff members of the Nagata faction are formulating a large-scale offensive plan.  At that time, everyone thought that this was Japan's attack on the Philippines and China. Yan Baohang once thought that it would be difficult to obtain such a top-secret plan. However, he did not expect that the confidentiality level of this attack plan was very low. Within a few days, Long Ya put it on his desk.  superior.

    After reading it, he discovered that this attack plan actually simulated China's attack on the Soviet Union.  The above mentioned troops, routes, etc. are extremely detailed, and all of them are in line with the military thinking of the Chinese people. In many places, sentences from ancient military books are quoted.  It should be said that, except for the performance of the weapons, which can only be guessed at, 60% is already close to the comprehensive offensive plan formulated by the General Staff.  Finally, in order to fit in with traditional Chinese culture, it was given the title of "Han style".

    Yan Baohang didn¡¯t take it seriously at first. It wasn¡¯t until he remembered that Yang Qiu had been worrying about how to break through the shackles of power and implement the wartime national emergency bill that the president had full power that he thought of how to use this fake plan.

    Yue Peng also thought that as long as he mobilized and deployed according to this fake plan and deliberately leaked it to Soviet spies, Moscow would definitely think that the National Defense Forces were about to launch an attack.  The Battle of Ahvaz has made the Soviet army understand that if the Wehrmacht is given sufficient time to prepare and plan, then the Soviet army, which is technically weak, will?It is difficult to resist, so Stalin and the commander-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Front Kulik must take advantage of it before the deployment is completed!

    No wonder he and Jiang Fangzhen both laughed, and the latter clapped his hands with joy: "This is called giving pillows when you are sleepy. Haha, look here, it really looks like that. Nagata Tieshan and Doihara are really talented people  , we must have a good chat with them next time we catch them.¡±

    "Don't be too happy too early." Although Yang Qiu was happy, he was also a little worried.  Because 60% of this fake "Han Style" plan is close to the real plan formulated by the General Staff, it shows how thoroughly Japan has studied the thinking, psychology, culture of the Chinese people, the combat methods and tactics of the older generation of officers, etc.  If the Soviet army made adjustments according to its own deductions, it would really be possible to contain the offensive.

    Of course Jiang Fangzhen knew this, but thinking of Zhuo Fan's idea, he smiled and said: "President, don't worry, someone has thought of it together with us, and is also planning to use Balkhash Lake to make a fuss."

    "Oh?" Yang Qiu was slightly surprised.  In fact, he, Yue Peng and others had long seen that Lake Balkhash was the biggest flaw in the Kazakh battlefield, and had come up with corresponding plans, but they did not expect that others would also see it.

    Speaking of his proud disciple, Jiang Fangzhen beamed with joy and recounted Zhuo Fan's thoughts while smoking a cigarette.  He smiled and said: "This guy is good. He thought of going with us. But he is more courageous. Our previous idea was to set up a large pontoon bridge on the Saremserk Peninsula after airborne landing. It would be better for him to directly send two armored boats with a naval landing craft.  Master, go over there.¡±

    ¡°After hearing the end, not only Murong Han and others were moved, but even Yang Qiu praised him.  In particular, the deployment of naval landing craft to stage a landing battle on Neihu was something neither he nor anyone expected.  Yue Peng was also very happy and said with emotion: "From his idea, it is indeed more concealed than simply erecting a pontoon bridge. The landing craft can be hidden in the Ili River first, and then enter the lake during the attack. The commander of the Soviet Kazakh Front is Kulik.  This person is a typical artillerist and has always believed that armored forces cannot be used in mountainous areas. Therefore, those placed in the mountainous areas opposite Lake Balkhash are mainly infantry divisions and heavy artillery regiments, with only three to four BT7 light tank regiments. If we only use  Firstly, the airborne troops lack heavy fire support and are easily suppressed by Soviet tanks and artillery. Secondly, the casualties are greater. But with armored troops, it is different. They can cooperate with the airborne troops to deploy quickly to prevent the Soviet troops from escaping."

    Yang Qiu nodded. Lake Balkhash is 500 kilometers long and has an average width of 40 kilometers. Therefore, if airborne troops are used alone, it will be difficult for airborne troops to stop the encirclement and suppression of Soviet artillery and mountain infantry.  Moreover, there are mountains and hills on the opposite side of the lake shore. It is difficult for bombers to deal with concealed firepower in this terrain. This is why Kulik dared to place only a few divisions along the Balkhash Lake, which is 500 kilometers wide.  But this natural chasm that everyone seems to be insurmountable has become the Ardennes Forest of the Wehrmacht because of the whimsical idea of ??a young lieutenant colonel!

    If the armored division can quickly cross the lake, it will definitely exceed the Soviet army's expectations.  Even if Kulik learns the news and dispatches troops to return reinforcements, the distance from East Kazakhstan and Zhambyl Oblast at both ends to Balkhash is more than 200 kilometers. As long as the air force blocks it slightly, it can delay the attack for two to three days.  Three days is enough for a fully motorized mechanized army to cross the Great Lakes!

    "Before we came out, we had asked Liu Mingzhao to lead the staff to deduce according to his method, and Xu Shuzheng also went to Chen Shaokuan to ask for a landing craft." Jiang Fangzhen was very satisfied with this idea. Even Bei Zuyi and Murong Han, who did not understand military affairs, felt that Neihu  Using naval tactics can indeed lead to unexpected results.  Satisfied to see Yang Qiu, Yue Peng Xiangxiang asked: "President, this Zhuo Fan is quite good. Do you think he will be transferred to the General Staff to keep him under observation?"

    Yang Qiu refused: "It is not necessarily a good thing to encourage others. It is better to let him train at the grassroots level for a while. I think this way, after Liu Mingzhao and the others think it is feasible, they will let him serve as a staff officer in Chunan's First Army and be fully responsible for this.  Login."

    The First Army is the best all-motorized ace army in the army. It has the 1st Armored Division, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division, the 18th, 33rd, and 48th Motorized Infantry Divisions. It has also conducted special landing training. Its powerful combat effectiveness is  The best unit for this mission.  Letting Zhuo Fan join such a unit will not only train him, but also allow him and the First Army to quickly penetrate Karaganda after landing.

    Jiang Fangzhen also felt that it was too early and thought Yang Qiu's approach was good: "The president is right. Liu Mingzhao and Long Yun both showed their abilities after years of training at the grassroots level. Now it is time for the war to let him serve in the First Army."  It¡¯s better to train for one or two years. I think the combat plans and plans should be named as early as possible and distributed to all units.¡±

    "Name? It's called Talos."
