Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed
Chapter 451: They have mutual calculations!
"The preliminary reorganization has been completed. Their elite troops are all equipped with American weapons. Although their combat effectiveness is average, their equipment is indeed good. In terms of weapons and equipment alone, they are not inferior to us." The subordinate explained hurriedly with a serious face.
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, as if he felt a little regretful about the combat effectiveness of this unit. After all, having good equipment but failing to transform it into correspondingly powerful combat effectiveness always makes people feel unreliable.
"If we take into account the military quality of individual soldiers, they are quite far behind us." The subordinate added immediately, with a sense of helplessness in his words. In his opinion, there is indeed a big gap between the military quality of the soldiers in this unit and that of his own side. Even with sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is still a big question whether they can play their due role on the battlefield.
"If we have another two months, there may be a lot of improvement." The subordinate thought for a moment and continued, thinking that as long as they are given enough time to train and get used to each other, perhaps they can make progress in military quality and their combat effectiveness will also be improved. However, under the current circumstances, it is obvious that they cannot wait that long.
Hearing this, Field Marshal Rommel seemed very calm, without much change in expression, still looking calm. Or rather, he had been mentally prepared, and he had a rough idea of the situation of this unit, so he did not show too much surprise or disappointment.
"Can we let them face the Soviet army alone?" Field Marshal Rommel raised his head slightly, his eyes calm, and asked.
He thought to himself that if this unit could deal with the Soviet army alone, it would be able to alleviate the pressure they were currently facing to a certain extent. However, he didn't know whether they had the ability to do so.
Hearing this, the subordinate who had spoken earlier shook his head, his face full of confidence, and said: "Marshal, I'm afraid it won't work for a while. Their combat effectiveness is not high. According to our estimation, the chances of winning against the Soviet army are not very high."
He was very clear about the strength of this unit. As far as their current status was concerned, if they were to go head-to-head with the Soviet army, they would be almost asking for their lives and would not gain any advantage at all, so he gave a negative answer without hesitation.
This was the answer they gave after comprehensive consideration. It was a conclusion they reached after combining the actual situation of all aspects of the force and weighing the pros and cons.
"Including the Turkish army?" Marshal Rommel's face flashed with disappointment, but he soon regained his composure. He really wanted to hear some good news, hoping that there would be a force that could help him share the pressure, but at present, there didn't seem to be any exciting news, so he could only hope to include the Turkish army and see if there would be a different situation.
"If we include the Turkish army, there may be some hope, but the demands put forward by the Turkish army are very high. They have certain demands for some territory." The subordinate reminded again, and sighed slightly while speaking. It was not that he was not optimistic about the Turkish army, but that the other side's desire for territory was too high.
In other words, if Field Marshal Rommel cannot meet the other party's requirements and wants to persuade the other party to take action, it will be too difficult. After all, the other party has their own calculations and it is impossible for them to send troops to help for no reason. This undoubtedly adds a bit of complexity and thorny feeling to the current situation.
In response, Field Marshal Rommel simply nodded, his expression still calm, without showing much emotional fluctuation. He naturally understood the meaning behind these words.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it all depends on whether he can come up with conditions for sending troops that will satisfy the Turkish army. After all, the other party has already said this much, and the key lies in how he weighs and decides on his side.
"We can totally agree to their territorial demands. These places are just useless to us and not of much use." Field Marshal Rommel frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then spoke slowly.
In his opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to win over the Turkish army and ask them to send troops to help. The territories coveted by the Turkish army do not have much strategic value to the German army. Instead of holding them in their hands where they are useless, it is better to use them as bargaining chips in exchange for the Turkish army to send troops, which may change the current difficult war situation.
In any case, the most urgent task is to persuade the Turkish army to send troops.
The main reason was Cun Yunsheng’s 300,000 troops, which were like a dark cloud pressing on his heart, and the pressure they brought to him was too great.
That was a force that should not be underestimated. It was rampaging on the battlefield, causing headaches for the German army wherever it went. Moreover, the enemy's offensive was fierce, giving the German army no chance to breathe. If this continued, the situation would only become increasingly unfavorable for the German army.
But the headquarters was unable to dispatch more troops for support in a short time. The entire German army's troop deployment was very tight on various battlefields, and there was really no way to spare any extra manpower.
So now all the pressure falls on Field Marshal Rommel, and he can only rely on himself to find a way to deal with this complex and severe situation.
But the situation he needs to face now is also very complicated. He has to take all directions into consideration. Any move will affect the entire body. He cannot easily mobilize troops to make any big moves.
After all, all this is caused by insufficient military forces. If there were sufficient military forces, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to negotiate terms and make deals with the Turkish army. They could simply rely on their own powerful military force to deal with various situations and would not be caught in the current dilemma.
This is why Field Marshal Rommel was willing to agree to the Turkish army's demands. In this dilemma, he could only choose the lesser of two evils. He should first satisfy the Turkish army's territorial demands and let them send troops to participate in the war to ease the huge military pressure at hand. As for the subsequent situation, he could only take it one step at a time.
"Yes, I understand." All the subordinates answered in unison, with a decisiveness in their voices. After listening to Field Marshal Rommel's words, they all knew clearly in their hearts that this was a decision made after careful consideration. The current situation did not allow for too much hesitation and entanglement. Since the Field Marshal had already expressed his attitude and was willing to use those territories in exchange for the Turkish troops, they naturally had no objection.
After all, everyone knows how great the pressure is at the moment. Cun Yunsheng's 300,000-strong army is like a mountain that makes it hard to breathe, and the base camp can't provide more support. It is always good to get more forces to help now, even if it requires paying a certain price. There is no other way. We can only do what the marshal said and hope that the Turkish army can really change this unfavorable situation after sending troops.
At this moment, although the atmosphere in the headquarters was still tense, at least because such a response plan had been determined, everyone felt a little relieved, and they hurriedly began to prepare for the next communication and coordination with the Turkish army and other related matters. The whole scene suddenly became busy, and everyone hoped to push this matter forward as soon as possible so that the Turkish army could send troops to join the battle as soon as possible. …
Not long after, Sun Liren was sitting in the command post, looking at the map and thinking about the battle plan. At this time, a telegram was handed to him. When he opened it, he saw that it was from Cun Yunsheng.
In name, Sun Liren was under Stilwell's command, but in reality, everyone knew that he was more likely to follow Cun Yunsheng's orders. After all, the troops under his command were basically trained by Cun Yunsheng, and most of them, from soldiers to officers at all levels, had inextricable ties with Cun Yunsheng. So under this relationship, when Sun Liren received Cun Yunsheng's telegram, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and took it very seriously.
He looked at the contents of the telegram intently, and the more he read, the tighter his brows frowned. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He thought to himself, this plan had been laid out so early, and he had never expected it before. It seemed that Cun Yunsheng's strategic vision was indeed unique, and he considered so long-term, taking all aspects into account.
According to the telegram, what Sun Liren had to do next was to decisively attack the canal when necessary and try every means to take the canal back from the Germans.
The telegram made it clear that the control of the canal was crucial and related to the subsequent direction of the entire war, so it was necessary to ensure that it was in our hands. As for the so-called pursuit of the German army mentioned in the telegram, there was no need to do it. After all, the German army was not so easy to pursue, and the current focus was on controlling key locations, rather than blindly pursuing the enemy. The troops had to be used where they were needed most.
Sun Liren put down the telegram and fell into deep thought again. He began to think about how to implement this plan in detail, how many troops to deploy, what time to choose to attack, etc. These issues must be carefully considered. After all, this is not a simple matter. If you are not careful, it will affect the entire combat operation.
"It's really a trick to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron." Sun Liren put down the telegram, stood up, and paced around the room, unable to help but sigh. He had originally thought that the telegram would urge him to quickly assemble his troops and attack the German army with all his strength. For this, he had spent a lot of time thinking about it, and even had a detailed attack plan in his mind, just waiting for the order to come so that he could immediately put it into action.
Unexpectedly, the telegram did not require him to find the right time to attack the canal, then successfully occupy the north bank of the canal, and firmly guard the canal to prevent the German army from counterattacking. As for other aspects, there were not too many requirements and instructions, which surprised Sun Liren. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt the ingenuity of this plan.
It must be said that Cun Yunsheng was really foresighted. Sun Liren secretly admired in his heart that in this complex and ever-changing battlefield, Cun Yunsheng could foresee the importance of the canal in advance and make such a precise layout, which was really not easy.

No matter what, as long as Sun Liren can successfully take over the canal according to this plan, then for the time being, the canal will truly belong to them.
Although it is not clear how much actual benefit can be obtained from occupying the canal, Sun Liren knows that it will definitely not be a small amount.
After all, the canal's strategic position in the entire war situation is crucial. Controlling it is equivalent to holding a trump card that influences the direction of the situation. It plays a vital role in both the transportation of materials and the restriction of the German army's subsequent actions.
Who made the person who executed this plan Cun Yunsheng? Sun Liren knew very well that Cun Yunsheng was no simple person. Even he himself had to admit one thing, that is, Cun Yunsheng really understood these Western powers.
He was well aware of the conflicts of interest among the Western powers and understood their logic of action on the battlefield, so he was able to formulate such an ingenious plan, taking advantage of the situation and psychology of all parties to gain the greatest benefit for his side.
At this moment, Sun Liren had made up his mind that he must do his best to implement this plan and not let Cun Yunsheng's hard work and ingenious layout go to waste.
On the other side, in the camp where Cun Yunsheng was, the atmosphere seemed a little subtle. Cun Yunsheng was standing outside the tent, watching the familiar figure approaching not far away. It was William.
"William, I didn't expect you to come here." Cun Yunsheng had a faint smile on his face, but there was not much surprise in his tone. He had actually expected William's appearance. In other words, based on his understanding of William and the current complicated situation, he had already guessed that the other party would appear. It was just a matter of time.
However, he did not expect the other party to show up so early.
Originally, Cun Yunsheng had expected that William would show up only when his side had captured an important town, the situation became clearer, and the conflicts of interest became more prominent.
But who knew that William would suddenly appear when they had just begun to take action and it was still too early to capture the important town. This was indeed beyond his expectations and made him more speculative in his mind, wondering why the other party came so eagerly.
"Dear Cun, I didn't expect you to come here." William also had a look of surprise on his face. As he spoke, he walked quickly forward with his arms open, as if he wanted to give Cun Yunsheng a warm hug. However, Cun Yunsheng just nodded slightly and did not respond to the hug.
William didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to speak, his tone seemed to be really surprised to meet Cun Yunsheng here, but in fact, both of them knew in their hearts that it was not accidental for each other to appear here.
"William, we are old friends. Just tell me what's going on." Cun Yunsheng looked at William with deep eyes, with a faint smile still on his lips. In fact, he had already guessed the other party's intention, but he didn't want to point it out too early, so he pretended to be stupid and asked.
He knew that in this battlefield where interests were intertwined, William must have come here with some purpose, and he had to be careful and not be easily led by the other party. So he pretended not to know and wanted to hear what William would say, so that he could make plans based on what he said. (End of this chapter)
