It was winter in the southern hemisphere in June, and summer in the northern hemisphere in June. Even in the mountains, the temperature was enough to make the running soldiers sweat profusely. Because the mountain road was steep, the army did not bring mules and horses. Instead, they carried their own weapons and carried ammunition as they ran through the mountains.
The Rocky Mountains were majestic and magnificent. Opposite the mountain that the army was passing through, there was an even taller mountain with several observation points built on the mountain. Because they used local materials, only cement and gravel were used to seal the gap, so the observation points could not be seen from the outside. Several high-powered binoculars in one of the observation points had begun to track the team that was obviously the US Army. Not long after, a cable telegram went straight through the wire to the telegraph station at the foot of the mountain.
The telegraph station was equipped with automatic telegraph machines. Under the supervision of humans, the telegraph machines faithfully transmitted messages. These machines greatly improved the efficiency of the telegraph station. After a large amount of information was gathered to the corps headquarters, it was compiled into the latest situation map.
"Barren mountains and unruly rivers produce unruly people." Corps commander Zhou Xinhua sighed.
If this sentence was used on the people in the country, the Corps Political Commissar Qi Rui could only express his objection. Political correctness was something that had to be emphasized, especially in an army led by the Party. However, since this sentence was aimed at foreigners, Political Commissar Qi Rui could only nod and say nothing.
The Rocky Mountains were a very barren place, but humans were willing to live in barren places with fewer humans under the pressure of their own kind. Compared to scourges and beasts, humans were obviously more terrifying and could bring more pain to humans. These local bullies living in the mountains were very annoying. They followed the Liberation Army like mosquitoes and fleas, often destroying railways and attacking China's convoys. Zhou Xinhua's sigh was his evaluation of these people's actions.
Faced with the commander's sigh, the corps chief of staff said, "The temperature in the southern part of the United States is relatively high in winter, so it's not a problem to fight here in winter. The key now is probably to maintain the smooth flow of traffic. "
Qi Rui had been the chief of staff of the army, so he knew very well how hard it was to be a chief of staff. The chief of staff of the army seemed to be in a high position, but in fact, it was not such an easy job. His decisions were related to the actions of more than 300,000 troops in six armies. Up until now, the Liberation Army had only reached a new peak in terms of the size of a single unit during the Sino-American war. Over a million soldiers were placed under the command of three corps, and each corps was in charge of six corps. A civil war of this scale had never been seen before.
Therefore, Qi Rui could only give an 'empty' evaluation of the chief of staff's words. Everyone knew the importance of maintaining the smooth flow of communications, but the key was how to do it. The United States was about eight million square kilometers in size. Currently, there were still six million square kilometers that did not belong to China in name. The total number of China's troops in North America is now only four million. There were only four middle-aged men in a six square kilometer area. According to the number of people on the land, this scale was called a 'no man's land'. It was wishful thinking to ensure the smooth flow of communication with such a dense military force.
Just as Qi Rui was making a judgment in his mind, he heard the chief of staff say, "The best way now is to take drastic measures. First, send troops to take care of the US stronghold, and in turn, cut off the weapons supply to these unruly people. At the same time, he asked Yuan Weiting to send people over to clean up the place. After the purge, we will build the stronghold in a half-military, half-civilian way. The foundation of the United States is actually not in the mountains, but in the plains, on their east coast. "
Qi Rui immediately overturned his evaluation just now. He actually knew that he was jealous of the chief of staff of the corps. In theory, the political commissar was the highest authority in the army, but this was only in theory. The political commissar was the party representative and the secretary of the party committee, but the military commander and the chief of staff were also the party representative and the deputy secretary of the party committee. Moreover, after Qi Rui's identity was exposed, everyone had a faint sense of rejection towards him. After becoming the political commissar of the corps, Qi Rui felt that the work was even more difficult. The chief of staff of the corps made Qi Rui feel better than the political commissar of the corps.
Of course, the judgment of the current military commissar was right, and Qi Rui could not find fault with him. At the moment, other than supporting him, Qi Rui had no other choice. If the war failed, as the political commissar, Qi Rui would have to shoulder the political responsibility. He had the highest position in the corps, and the responsibility was also the heaviest.
Therefore, without waiting for everyone to look at him with inquiring eyes, Qi Rui said first, "I will ask the war zone command to let Yuan Weiting come over. But I think everyone knows that the other war zones also need Yuan Weiting's assistance. "
Just as Qi Rui expected, Yuan Weiting was waiting for orders at the war zone command. The command was also not sure which direction to send Yuan Weiting to assist, but the war zone command was more inclined to solve the problem in one direction first, so there was endless internal debate, and they could not make a decision for the time being.
Yuan Weiting's current military uniform had turned gray. After a period of struggle, the country finally shipped a sufficient number of gray military uniforms. The Korean slave army had 100,000 people, and the Japanese slave army had 900,000 people. The real leader of this million-strong army, Yuan Weiting's shoulder insignia was already that of a major general. Wang Shizhen, who was beside Yuan Weiting, also had a major general insignia, and Yuan Weiting's subordinates, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, and the others, were senior colonels.
