Chapter 330: Strategic Westward Shift


"Your country has said before that military speed is inseparable from the prerequisite of convenient transportation.

Developing a strategic transportation system that can quickly transport troops to critical areas when Japan invades is actually the top priority at the moment."

When Jiang Li was making a lot of money from the Silver Act and running Northern Sichuan, Hans von Seeckt, who single-handedly built the backbone of the German Wehrmacht, made this very constructive suggestion to Chairman Chiang.

For this prestigious German general, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek paid more attention to him than many people imagined.

While suppressing the red forces, due to the aggressiveness of the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang was definitely not as unprepared for the war of resistance as some books wrote.

In order to deal with the growing threat from the Japanese army.

The leader of Nanyingmen first held a national crisis meeting in Luoyang and raised the issue of reforming the military service system.

Later, the military service law was formulated in full swing.

At the same time, the military service area plan proposed at the military reorganization meeting divided the country into 19 military areas, 60 division areas and 10 reserve areas.

The plan was implemented in the 25th year of the Republic of China.

The first batch of 12 division management areas and 48 regiment management areas were set up.

At this time, the army controlled by Nanjing only had 457 old artillery pieces of various types that could be used.

Due to history, personnel and other factors, the establishment was different and the types of artillery were complex.

Far from taking advantage of its numerical advantage.

Recognizing this shortcoming, Nanjing also began to organize and organize according to artillery types.

Supplementary equipment, horses.

At the same time, the supply of German artillery was increased.

Since the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, Nanjing has realized the importance of anti-aircraft guns.

The number of 75 anti-aircraft guns that have arrived and are waiting to be delivered by Forbes Company has reached 28, and 6 anti-aircraft guns are ready to be built.

At the same time, commissioners were sent to Western Europe to inspect the 37 anti-aircraft guns.

With 20 high, dual-purpose machine guns with level shooting, hundreds of them.

Considering the importance of tanks, Nanjing placed an order for 32 amphibious tanks with Vickers Company.

A series of actions have also rapidly increased Nanjing's military strength.

"Transportation must be improved.

The repairs of Xuzhou and Jiangyin fortresses must be strengthened.

In addition, judging from the last Japanese attack on Shanghai, the eastern part is vulnerable to attack.

Once an all-out war breaks out, Nanjing will be shaken.

The government needs to have a stable rear.

Sichuan, Yunnan, Qian, and Southwest The four provinces are relatively stable areas.

According to the national defense situation, all factories must be located in Pinghan.

Road, traffic west of Guangdong-Han Road is reluctant to leave this place, and the focus of military and industrial enterprises has been moved westward.

It is no longer necessary to build heavy industrial factories in the interior.

The other 15th Route Army has shown signs of occupying Sichuan.

The 15th Route Army must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise the central government must not let it succeed.

There will be no room for retreat," He Yingqin also reported to Chairman Chiang.

"Sichuan, a land of abundance, has a large population, vast land, rich specialties, and popular culture.

It can be said that it is the best among all provinces and is uniquely blessed by nature.

As long as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou can consolidate the balance, they will surely be able to occupy any powerful enemy.

Restore all the lost land, Not only will the Japanese army not be able to defeat China in three years, they will not be able to defeat China in thirty years," Jiang said with great certainty, leaning on his cane.

"Eye.

Now that the Communist bandits are gone, the party-state should turn its energy to other aspects.

You should select another group of people, led by He Guoguang, director of the Nanchang Camp, to form a staff group to go to Sichuan.

On the one hand, you will assist Liu Xiang in resisting the 15th Route Army, and on the other hand, you will sort out the situation in Sichuan.

Political and military affairs have laid the foundation for the central government to manage the southwest rear area.

The 15th Route Army must not be allowed to gain control of Sichuan."

"The appointment is wise," He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others said in unison.

"The Northwest Air Force Staff believes that 3 more senior aviation schools and 6 junior aviation schools should be built in Yinchuan, Guangyuan, Xining and other places, striving to train 2,500 pilots of various types and 6,000 mechanics within three years.

Only then can we At the beginning of the war, the consumption of pilots must be met.

And after three years, the aircraft manufacturing plant must have a production capacity of no less than 300 aircraft per year to supplement the battle losses of the Northwest Air Force, so that the Northwest Air Force can have lasting combat power and deal with the Japanese army."

“In addition, in order to meet the development of civil aviation and military aviation, the construction of airports is also extremely critical.

I believe that 8 large airports and 12 medium-sized airports should be built in more than 20 cities including Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Dihua, Haksu, and Guangyuan. " Compared with various strategic plans implemented in Nanjing at this time, Gao Zhihang's plan is more detailed and specific.

Of course, this is also based on Jiang Li's continued large-scale investment in Northwest Airlines.

"According to your judgment, what size should the Northwest Air Force reach within three years in order to be able to cover the airspace of the 15th Route Army?"

Jiang Li asked.

Although he has the advantage of being a time traveler, Jiang Li has a lot of talents here.

He is no better than Gao Zhihang, so Jiang Li has always left it to these professionals to deal with such relatively professional issues.

"The scale of the Japanese aviation force is much larger than that of our army.

However, the Japanese army is dispersed.

The Northeast must maintain a certain amount of troops to deal with the Soviet threat.

There must also be a group of troops stationed in the mainland.

It is expected that in three years, the total number of various types of aircraft of the Northwest Air Force will increase.

The total number will reach about 700, which can ensure that the ground troops can fight with the Japanese army with confidence," Gao Zhihang said seriously. "700 aircraft," Jiang Li said in surprise.

Now the total number of fighters in the Northwest Air Force is just over a hundred.

In three years, the scale of the aviation force has been expanded seven times.

This is not a small number.

"Five hundred is the limit, and the minimum should not be less than this number."

Gao Zhihang also felt that it was too much.

After all, the construction of aviation schools and airports in various places, coupled with the replacement and abandonment of these aircraft, the ground staff, and pilots' Training would cost at least 30 to 40 million yuan.

If you take into account the improvement of aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft repairs, and various parts factories, I am afraid that 60 to 70 million is not much.

"It's not a big problem to solve these problems in theory, but it will always be difficult in practice.

I will find a way to solve the problem of aircraft.

You and the people from the Air Force Staff will keep an eye on me.

Don't waste the money.

The quality of the pilots is not good."

Pulled up, and now with all kinds of fighters and bombers The performance is constantly improving, and air combat is also changing with each passing day.

As an air force general, you must not fall behind in your thinking."

Jiang Li thought for a moment after hearing this.

Northwest has a production capacity of more than 100 aircraft this year, but due to previous financial constraints, it took nearly half a year.

In the past, only twenty were produced.

There will be further breakthroughs in the performance of the bombers later, and it is expected that the Northwest Air Force will expand to five or six hundred aircraft in three years.

But in fact, the money you have has to be used wisely.

Steel, chemical industry, and military industry all require huge investment, such as electricity, roads, and food.

Things that seem unhurried and military and have no relevance are the real constraints on the northwest.

The fatal factor for the subsequent industrial take-off.

Japan will eventually be defeated, but after defeating the Japanese army, China still has a bigger enemy
