Girls und War

First, Xia Shu sat in the main seat of the meeting room, propped up his chin and said to Ning, "Well, someone, please read the plan sent by the Chief of Staff so that everyone can understand our overall strategic goals."

Ning nodded when he heard this, then took the confidential file from Qingxian and briefly explained the plan.

This plan is certainly not something like the "Penguin Operation" that Xia Shu and the others came up with to fool people.

As a high-quality strategic plan jointly produced by the three admiral staffs of the navy, army and air force, the conceptual content and strategic goals it covers are very instructive.

In short, it means thinking deeply and broadly, like a heavenly book.

So after hearing this, a group of grassroots officers fell into deep confusion.

Because they have absolutely no idea what to do.

984. Huh? It turns out we are all just tools!

After Ning finished reading the plan, Xia Shu looked up and said to the girls in the conference room, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer them."

So Lazy Bear raised his hand and said, "Well, I don't understand what our mission is at all."

Hearing this, Xia Shu scratched his forehead and said with difficulty, "If you ask me to explain this... Tsk, forget it, I'll start from the beginning."

As he spoke, he took the plan from Ning's hand, opened the title page, and started from the beginning:

"The three major military headquarters' staffs have laid out a very elaborate plan. After all, they're the generals' staffs, right? All their military objectives are directional."

As he spoke, he tapped out the outline of the plan and continued, "We don't need to look at these strategic analyses of the various war zones for now. Let's focus on these three major operational sectors—the most core point of which is the comprehensive weakening operation against the Eagle Zone."

At this point, Xia Shu didn't even look at the plan. Instead, he asked the audience, "What do you think is the most core issue facing the Flower District right now?"

The officers looked at each other, and someone tentatively asked, "Eagle Zone?"

"Yes, it is the Eagle District's strategic isolation of us." Xia Shu snapped his fingers, and a map of the sphere of influence of the imaginary battlefield appeared on the background board.

Qingxian handed Xia Shu a pointer, and she took it, pointing to the map and saying, "Look, our surrounding war zones are all friendly to the Eagle District. And our overseas points of interest are all controlled areas that conflict with the Eagle District. Therefore, the conflict between the Flower District and the Eagle District is irreconcilable and cannot be ignored. Do you understand this?"

The officers all nodded.

Xia Shu continued, "Then our strategic goal revolves around this point. That is, to break through the Eagle District's strategic siege on us at the lowest possible cost; and to suppress the Eagle District to the greatest extent possible without compromising our own self-defense capabilities. Do you understand this?"

The officers nodded naturally, fully understanding what Xia Shu said.

These words were what the generals and officers often taught them during their strategic studies, so no one found them strange.

And what Xia Shu said next was the key point.

"So, based on this strategic foundation, the staffs of the three major military departments jointly formulated the current strategic plan."

Xia Shu flipped open the strategic details page of the plan and showed everyone the contents while saying, "These details may seem a little unclear. But the core is a three-stage layered strategy.

"The first phase is to unite the various regional defense command departments in our theater to strategically control and suppress other geographically connected theaters.

"This method of strategic control isn't limited to direct, hot-air warfare. We can consider adopting a strategy of making friends nearby and attacking from afar to gain friendly policies toward the Flower District from surrounding war zones.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a show of force to stop the unlucky kids around here from picking on us. Those who are willing to get along with us will be given some candy.

"Then the second strategy is to adopt a strategy of forceful attack and division of the resources in the most important resource-control area of ​​the imaginary battlefield, which is also the core area of ​​Eagle District's interest decision-making—the large oil field area.

"What do we mean by forceful attack and sharing? It means that if we can't take over the oil fields, we can share this big pie with other war zones. But we must not let Eagle Zone share this pie with us. To this end, we will not hesitate to pay a huge price - even if it means allowing other war zones such as the Sea Zone and the Snow Zone to gain greater benefits - to use force to drive Eagle Zone out!

"Because only by truly weakening the Eagle Zone can we gain a firm foothold in various overseas points of interest. Otherwise, no matter how many imaginary battlefield advantages we have now, they will all be empty castles in the air, mirages in the air.

"The third part of the layered strategy can be described in one word: kick the dog when it's down.

“What should we do to deal with an Eagle Region that has been weakened at its roots?

"Release the tiger back to the mountains? Raise a tiger and become a threat?

"No! In fact, as long as we can wipe out the Eagle District's manpower on a large scale, and even destroy their military-industrial system, then looking at the entire imaginary battlefield, who else can be our enemy?

“No more.

"So looking at this strategic plan, its core is to curb the Eagle Zone and break through their strategic blockade against us.

"Does everyone understand?"

After Xia Shu finished his explanation, the audience immediately showed expressions of admiration.

Otherwise, why do we say Xia Shu is Xia Shu?

She made the "holy book" that no one could understand clear with just two sentences.

However, although everyone understands the leader's attitude, they still don't quite understand their own work.

Then someone raised their hand and asked, "So what role do our special forces play in this strategic plan?"

"Hmm..." Xia Shu thought for a moment and replied, "Well, let's take it one step at a time. This strategy document hasn't been officially approved yet. Right now, I'm just giving you a general idea. We'll develop a detailed battle plan later."

"I guess our mission is to take the lead in various combat plans. For example, in the first phase of the operation, suppressing the surrounding war zones and making an example of others will be our responsibility.

"And the subsequent large oil field operations and the suppression operations in the Eagle Zone will probably follow the same principle."

After hearing this, everyone realized—oh, the plan wasn’t finished yet! No wonder they couldn’t understand what was in it.

But then, Fake Sleep asked with a smile, "Then how can you be so sure that the parliament will approve such a comprehensive plan?"

Xia Shu touched his chin and said subconsciously, "Because Princess Zhao—oh, I mean the Commander-in-Chief's staff—their strategic plan is almost complete. You see, we are now the second largest theater of war in the imaginary battlefield.

"As for the next plan, they haven't come up with it yet. This plan is quite comprehensive, so if it were me, I would just approve it and use it. Isn't that right?"

He thought about it and nodded.

But then he continued, "So this plan isn't for us, it's for the commander-in-chief?"

"That's right." Xia Shu nodded and continued, "But from now on, this plan is ours. You must not tell anyone about it."

"Hmm? Young Commander and the others won't go and see them off in person?"

"Yes, if we propose this, then the special forces can take the lead. The young commander and the others don't want the Combat Command to take the lead..."

As he spoke, Xia Shu showed an expression of irritation and said, "Don't ask! Those who understand will understand. Those who don't understand, you won't understand even if I tell you. That's it! Dismiss!"

985. Bullying the King

After the meeting, Xia Shu no longer answered questions from everyone, but immediately took the plan to the headquarters to report to Princess Zhao.

Only then did the officers attending the meeting realize that allowing them to participate in the discussion was only secondary.

The real purpose of this meeting is to use meeting minutes to ensure that this plan has the legitimacy to be submitted to the headquarters.

The staffs of the three major military departments must have carefully considered and chosen such a roundabout way to let the special forces submit their combat plans.

At the same time, they had to conceal their names and not sign the plan, so as to prevent the senior military officers of Princess Zhao from noticing the treasonous act of "the crown prince forming a clique."

The reception officer in the commander-in-chief's office, after receiving Xia Shu's plan, immediately invited her to come before Princess Zhao.

So Xia Shu met alone with the most powerful admiral officer in the Flower District in the largest office at the Flower District headquarters.

Seeing Xia Shu standing obediently in front of the desk, Princess Zhao put down the plan in her hand and asked her, "Is this the plan you made yourself?"

Xia Shu felt a little guilty, but still replied, "Yes, our special forces staff brainstormed and worked together to come up with this."

Princess Zhao showed a skeptical expression, but nodded and said, "Yes, your strategic vision is almost catching up with the generals' staff."

Xia Shu felt ashamed, but he still pretended to be humble and willing to learn, not daring to take credit for it.

Princess Zhao then leaned back in her chair and said, "Actually, the War Coordination Department did give me another strategic plan. Now it seems that it's not as good as yours."

Xia Shu dared not to, but then Princess Zhao waved her hand and continued, "Alright, I will make my own decision. Since you have come up with a better strategic plan, then..."

Princess Zhao looked at Xia Shu and said thoughtfully, "Then you will lead the subsequent battle plan."

Hearing this, Xia Shu knew that the big thing was done.

If the young commander heard such good news, he might jump up excitedly and shout "Great!"

But the benefits that Xia Shu and the special forces can get from this plan are actually not the biggest.

So her expression was very calm and no change could be seen.

Afterwards, Princess Zhao let Xia Shu leave on his own and go back to wait for notification.

It seems that I need to carefully review this plan with my staff and supplement the details on the opposite side.

After Xia Shu returned, although he didn't tell anyone else anything, it was precisely because there was no news that it was the biggest news.

Everyone knows that there won’t be much time for stability.

So the team members took the time to start pre-war training.

In the combat plan, the first part is to suppress the surrounding war zones, and the most difficult part is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Looking at the control areas around the Flower District, the two most difficult ones to deal with are the Sakura District and the Stupid District.

These two war zones, one is one of the three heroes of East Asia, and the other is one of the four idiots of Dongmeng.

Apart from anything else, just talking about their combat capabilities, they are definitely the best among the four major war zones.

Among these two battle zones, the most difficult one is the Sakura zone.

At this time, there was no need for Xia Shu to remind them, the combat staff team began their own strategic analysis of the Sakura District.

After analyzing for a while, they found that the strength of the Sakura District lies in its geographical location, and the geographical advantage begins with the high mountains.

The cherry blossom district here is located on the far eastern side of the Honshu Peninsula.

It borders the stick area to the south and the snow area to the west.

The high mountains act like a barrier, separating the cherry blossom area from the flower area.

The Baseball District may be the most difficult side sandwiched between the two battle zones, but if it wants to engage in a head-on battle with the Sakura District, it is impossible to do so without considering the mountain front.

After much thought, if a large-scale invasion operation is carried out against the mountain front, it is a question worth considering.

In addition, the person who is now directly commanding the mountain front is Lieutenant General Wutongqi.

Therefore, if one wants to plan an offensive against the Sakura District, Guguji and her staff will have to be involved.

Xia Shu didn't know what the young commander and the other three "godfathers" were thinking, but it seemed that Wutongqi could not be excluded from this battle.

So it seemed like she and Wutongqi would have a talk sooner or later.

And there is one more thing worth noting.

Once the war breaks out in Huaying, the special forces of the Sakura District will inevitably be unable to ignore the powerful combat force.

What if the Sakura District sends special forces to carry out sabotage in the rear while they are fighting on the front line? Can Gugu Chicken withstand the damage caused by the special forces?

Xia Shu had doubts about this.

Today's special forces, although after the previous disarmament agreement, have entered a subtle "special forces holiday" period.

However, the combat effectiveness of the special forces cannot be underestimated.

Speaking of this "Special Forces Holiday", the Sakura District has also suffered a considerable weakening.

But their development period is indeed later than that of the flower zone, so compared with the four major war zones, they have more room for growth.

As far as Xia Shu knows, the "Sakura" special forces unit in Sakura District is now under the command of Tamano Nadeshiko, who has been promoted to colonel.

Speaking of this woman, Xia Shu had previously visited a frontline combat unit in Sakura District and met her in person once.

That meeting left a very deep impression on Xia Shu.

She thought at the time that Tamano Fuzi was definitely an excellent mid-level military officer.

Even if you compare her with Jiamei, she is not inferior.

Facing a special forces unit led by such a powerful officer, Xia Shu had no intention of underestimating them.

She even regarded the "Sakura" special forces as a powerful entity equivalent to the "Sandbar", "Dagger" and other special forces.

However, these things can be put aside for the time being, because no matter what, the Flower District Special Forces is definitely the most powerful force in the imaginary battlefield at this stage.

Needless to say, the advantage in equipment is that no special forces unit seems to be equipped with both helicopter carriers and stealth strategic transport aircraft.

Take the military ranks of ordinary special forces soldiers for example, there are almost no non-commissioned officers below the rank of sergeant.

And the number of officers even exceeds half, most of whom are captains and above.

This level of strength, in terms of individual combat capability, is far beyond the reach of any other troop.
