The sound of military boots stomping on the ground was getting closer and closer to the door, and everyone in the hall stared at the door with bated breath.
Soldiers lined up in four columns were like a long sharp arrow, slowly but unstoppably inserted into the hall door.The soldiers were all wearing American military uniforms, American steel helmets, American military boots, and American-made submachine guns, M1 carbines, and Garand rifles in their hands.But if you look closely, you will find that the logo on the soldier's helmet is different from that of the US military, and the epaulets are also different from the US military. There are four Chinese characters on it:
"Annan Legion".
The sharp arrows formed by soldiers were at the forefront, and the arrow was a man in a robe-style raincoat, striding into the venue with his head held high.
When he entered the hall, he threw the robe on the ground.
Li Zongren was dressed in a neat uniform of a general of the Republic of China, with sparkling collar badges and cap badges.
Li Zongren, the first-level general of the Republic of China, the leader of the Xingui Clan, the first vice president of the Republic of China, and the acting president, walked to the center of the venue and looked behind his back at the people from all walks of life who were still arguing a minute ago.Behind him, four rows of soldiers from Annan's army dispersed automatically, controlling everyone in the field.
"Everyone came together, saving me the trouble of looking around." Li Zongren sneered.
"Now I announce that the meeting will continue."
Chapter 47, it's personal
"Monty, you are truly the greatest strategist and prophet in British history!"
Still at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, the British Secretary of Defense Alexander Harold rushed into Montgomery's office and said in an adoring tone.
Half a year ago, during a chat at NATO headquarters, Harold and Montgomery made an analysis of the situation in the Far East and the Korean Peninsula.Harold explained to Montgomery what anti-aircraft missiles are, and Montgomery pointed out that the United States has reached a point where it is desperate to end the war in order to stop losses as soon as possible.At the end of the conversation, Montgomery also smiled mysteriously, and let out a prophecy, "Our little cousin may not realize that they will face another trouble."
It was afternoon in Belgium when the Taiwan campaign launched its midnight missile strike.After midnight in Britain and Belgium, a flood of battle reports flooded Harold's desk through intelligence channels.
China launched the Taiwan War.
China launched an attack on the US warships, all of which were sunk and had no ability to fight back.
China successfully landed on the island of Taiwan.
Finally came the news repeatedly confirmed by the United States: Chiang Kai-shek was killed in the first round of strikes!
"Before the start of the Korean War, the United States underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Red Chinese Army. As a result, they suffered a disastrous defeat on both sides of the Qingchuan River and the commander of the 2nd Meibu Division was captured." Harold said his opinion, "However, the Americans Their arrogance is inertial. When they arrived in 1952, they might pay attention to the Chinese army on the front line in North Korea, but when they left North Korea, they thought they were invincible. In general, their thinking at both levels is different. Underestimated the army of Red China: held a stereotype of China before the war; did not notice that the equipment and tactics of the Chinese army were growing rapidly during the war. Therefore, the US troops that assisted in the defense of Taiwan were far from enough. And the arrogant Americans have not adjusted their forces in the Western Pacific according to the latest combat effectiveness of the Chinese military on the Korean peninsula."
Montgomery nodded slightly reserved.
It's a good thing labor and management only talked half-sentences when they chatted with Harold last October, Montgomery thought.At that time, I was not talking about Taiwan, but the Indochina Peninsula.If the French army can't handle the Viet Cong in Vietnam, then the United States is likely to intervene, take over the French colonies, and then continue to fight the Viet Cong.Well, I thought so, and I didn't pay attention to Taiwan's affairs at all.
"This strategic misjudgment is likely to cost them Taiwan," Montgomery said. "After we chatted half a year ago, I didn't explain my concerns and predictions to the United States, and neither did you, did you?"
"Yes, it is in keeping with the diplomatic skills of the British Empire."
"The change of hands of this small island is neither good nor bad for the interests of the British Empire. The fighting in Taiwan will eventually stop, just like the war in Korea. Then, the United States will re-inject troops into Europe. However, they will then be in the Western Pacific Keep more naval fleets." Montgomery scratched his head, "They will spend more money in the Western Pacific, and in Europe..."
"This may be good news for the British Empire Navy. If the Americans transfer more warships to the Pacific Ocean, they will ask us to keep more aircraft carriers."
"No, Harold. It's useless. Even if the Americans asked us to keep a few more carriers, Labor would find a reason to dismantle them."

Xiamen pointed forward.
Su Yu, Xiao Jinguang, and Liu Yelou knew everything that happened in Taiwan.When the sky was light, the telegram sent back from Taipei reported in detail the palace coup in Taipei, and everything was expected by the Prime Minister.
"The landing fleet is about to arrive at the Taixi artificial pier." Looking at his watch, Xiao Jinguang said, "From today, the army landing on the island will have regular tanks."
"In yesterday's battle, the PT-76 performed very well," Zhang Zhen said. "The key is that the main gun is not bad, and there is no problem with their American-made medium tanks."
"I just don't know if the precise strikes tonight have found the right targets." Xiao Jinguang said.
Liu Yelou: "There are three targets in total. The first one is the ammunition depot, not to mention the special warfare unit. It is estimated that the entire Tainan citizen saw the explosion that soared into the sky. The second one is the headquarters of the 1st Army. In fact, the 1st Army has already It was disabled by the army, right? The third is the ammunition depot of the 2nd Army in Taichung, which was also a big explosion, and the results of the battle can definitely be confirmed.”
"I don't know how the battle during the day will develop today." Su Yu didn't close his eyes all day and night, and now he wants to rest, but he still has something to worry about.
This script is too complicated, and Su Yu and Zhang Zhen have to figure out how to deal with the variables in the middle.
"If the battle situation changes, it's not today. In fact, today is the daytime fight as planned. Commander, you should sleep for a while."

"I am Xiaoping. I think it is necessary to make adjustments to increase the insurance factor for the manual wharf transportation volume on the 13th and 14th."
The Beijing War Situation Center also operates 24 hours a day like Xiamen Qianzhi. Now Secretary Deng is pondering over there and sent a message to Qianzhi.
"In the plan for the 13th and 14th, the food, oil and ammunition we transported to the shore through the artificial dock are just enough. This calculation is very accurate, but the response to emergencies is insufficient. Especially It is ammunition. There are many small types of artillery shells. Once this type of material is lost during the transfer, some troops or certain arms on the front line will run out of food. My suggestion is to reduce the cargo sent ashore tomorrow by two 152mm howitzer battalions , add a base number of Su 76.2 tank shells, add a base number of 12.7 heavy machine gun shells. The goods that will land ashore the day after tomorrow will be reduced by one Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, that is, Katyusha will not land on the island before the 14th. The spare capacity guarantees small but important There are double supplies of supplies."
"Comrades in the logistics center, please follow Secretary Deng's suggestion." Su Yu said after reading the transcript.
The busy logistics staff has read the message from the mail server to the logistics server, and then first called up the tank landing ship shuttle management table on the 13th, deleted the tasks of the two tank landing ships, and modified and added a new transportation plan.
After completing the new planned task, the logistics staff printed out the order, passed it to the transmitter, and sent it to Penghu.
Su Yu: "Yesterday afternoon until nightfall, the U.S. navy and air force did not carry out any new military operations. What is the intention? What method will the U.S. military intervene in the next step?"
"According to sources from the Soviet Union, the U.S. submarine in Yokosuka has not gone to sea. Before leaving yesterday, Tang Hua confirmed that the U.S. military in Yokosuka has two submarines, one of which can be dispatched, and the other is under repair; there is a submarine overseas that is sailing to Kamchatka. On the peninsula, there is another American submarine patrolling and monitoring outside Vladivostok, but this submarine is loaded with 2/1 live ammunition, and it is nearing the end of its mission and needs to return to Hong Kong for vacation, so it is unlikely to participate in the interference battle against Taiwan. Nie."

New York, United Nations Headquarters.
"Regarding the civil war in China, the United States of America proposes a motion."
At the special meeting of the UN Security Council, the US delegation threw out its own motion.
"We have ample evidence to prove that the rekindling of the Chinese civil war is the first attack on the battlefield by the CCP. 22 hours ago, the CCP launched an attack on the US warships sailing normally in the Taiwan Strait. Caused...the loss of US warships and casualties, which shows that China's civil war is not only restarting, but also poses a threat to the security of international shipping and the normal interests of other countries. I recommend that the Security Council impose military sanctions and embargoes on the Chinese side of the civil war, and The Security Council organizes interested countries to form a joint fleet to station in the Taiwan Strait to ensure peace in the Taiwan Strait.”
The representative of the United States, blablabla, said a lot, but the delegation of the Republic of China looked left and right and remained silent.
"The Soviet Union believes that before the facts are fully clarified, the UN Security Council should make decisions more carefully. Whether it is a resolution or a statement, after voting, it represents the authority of the United Nations. We have already learned a lesson from the past.” The Soviet representative said slowly, “To find out what is happening in the Taiwan Strait, if the belligerent’s description is not accurate enough, we must organize a United Nations observation mission and The Security Council can only conduct formal consultations after the incident investigation team goes to the battlefield of the civil war, conducts an objective investigation and writes a written investigation report."
The United States: "The U.S. warship sailed in the high seas more than 3 nautical miles off the coast of the Taiwan Strait, and then was attacked for no reason. This is a very basic fact. There is no need for a United Nations investigation team. The representative of the Soviet Union should be more logical in his speech. "
"Mr. U.S. Representative, we are not ignorant of what happened in the Strait. As far as we know, before the Chinese Communist Party launched a military operation, the high-power radio station repeatedly informed the area in a clear way on the public channel. All countries, regions and ships, the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan Island are no-fly zones and no-fly zones, so what is the truth of the matter, perhaps the United Nations should investigate carefully..."
The war of words in the Security Council will not bear fruit.The motion of the US delegation was rejected, and the rotating chairman and Mui said they would start an investigation.In fact, even if the bill enters the final voting process, the Soviet Union will reject it with one vote.

Taipei.
"General Sun."
"President Lee."
After leaving the house under house arrest and driving to the presidential palace for half an hour, Sun Liren had already changed his address to Li Zongren when they met.
