In addition to acknowledging reality, Mu Haoyang can do is find ways to solve the problems he encountered.

At the end of May, at the initiative of Mu Haoyang, Huang Hanlin agreed to make adjustments to the military system and established a chief of staff composed of the chief of staff of the three armies and one army. Qi Kaiwei was appointed as the chairman of the chief of staff, Zhou Yusheng was appointed as the chief of staff of the navy, and his mother Qi Tie and Pang Yuelong were appointed as the chief of staff of the Air Force and Marine Corps respectively. Mu Haoyang served as the Minister of War as the Navy Marshal, and the Chief of Staff Council was directly responsible to the War Department.

In this way, the General Staff Department actually no longer exists.[]

Strictly speaking, it was the transformation of the General Staff into the War Department. The main work of the Minister of War is no longer to command operations, but to plan and organize combat operations.

This adjustment has very important significance.

After that, Mu Haoyang was no longer directly responsible for combat affairs. His main job was to help the chief of staff who proposed combat plans to organize military organizations.

To put it vividly, Mu Haoyang is mainly responsible for supporting the combat of various military branches and coordinating the resolution of military conflicts.

After the war, many people believed that Mu Haoyang had no need to do this, and some even believed that this organizational structure adjustment had a negative effect, such as reducing the coordinated combat capabilities of the Chinese army. But objectively speaking, this adjustment to a large extent promoted the unity and unity within the army, more effectively mobilized the enthusiasm of the army, and properly and reasonably resolved the contradictions within the army.

Don’t forget that when Mu Haoyang proposed to adjust the organizational structure, the conflict between him and Qi Kaiwei had been made public.

Although Mu Haoyang is the chief of staff in the class, one level higher than Qi Kaiwei, so he has the power to lead and decide all combat operations on the battlefield, Mu Haoyang is very self-aware that he cannot replace Qi Kaiwei on the ground battlefield, and Qi Kaiwei cannot replace him on the marine battlefield. The result is that if the conflict between him and Qi Kaiwei is not properly resolved, it will sooner or later cause a disaster.

In fact, conflicts among the top military leaders have had a negative impact.

From an after-the-scene perspective, if Mu Haoyang and Qi Kaiwei can work together, the Chinese army will be able to turn the situation around in 2053. The solution is simple: adopt a defensive posture on the mainland battlefield, maintain a high military pressure, and continuously consume Russia's vitality, thus forcing the United States to send troops to Russia. With the combat capabilities of the Russian army, the Chinese army only needs to invest six armies on the mainland battlefield to achieve this goal. In other words, by the end of 2053, the Chinese army will have about eight armies to call. If the available forces of the Marine Corps, it will definitely be able to gather 500,000 ground troops and will be able to attack Australia.

There is reason to believe that Mu Haoyang has recognized this problem.

To put it bluntly, he and Qi Kaiwei must have one person to make concessions to resolve the conflict, and Mu Haoyang chose to make concessions himself.

The problem is that Mu Haoyang must give up his strategic proposition, that is, to use the Pacific as the main battlefield.

Of course, this cannot be said to give up, but it is just a compromise, that is, before winning the mainland battlefield, the Pacific battlefield is just a secondary battlefield.

In fact, many people expressed different views on this after the war. In the eyes of these people, if Mu Haoyang did not reconcile with the army in a compromise, but instead replaced Qi Kaiwei, the result would probably be better. After all, there is no shortage of generals in the army who replace Qi Kaiwei. For example, Wei Chenglong has enough ability to replace Qi Kaiwei, but in the navy, the generals who can truly replace Mu Haoyang will not appear until two years later. The problem is that in the middle of 2053, Mu Haoyang will definitely not be able to let Qi Kaiwei be dismissed because he does not have this power, and Huang Hanlin would not let him do this. The result is that Mu Haoyang can only take the initiative to make concessions and end the meaningless land and sea dispute.

Of course, objectively speaking, Qi Kaiwei is not wrong.

If you want to say anything, I can only say that Qi Kaiwei has different strategic propositions, and firmly believe that his strategic propositions are better and he insists on them.

Facts have proved that Qi Kaiwei's strategic proposition is indeed not wrong.

Strategically speaking, focusing on the mainland battlefield is at least in line with China's basic national strategy, that is, China is essentially a continental country. From a reality, winning on the mainland battlefield can bring a very direct effect, that is, instigating Europe to participate in the war.

This was revealed in early June.

At that time, Qi Kaiwei adjusted the deployment of troops on the mainland battlefield, and drew out the 65th Army and the 165th Army that captured Magadan, sent it to the Siberian battlefield, replacing the 38th Army and the 15th Airborne Army, and then sent the 16th Airborne Army to Kazakhstan to act as a reserve for the 42nd Army, and putting on the stance of fighting in Central Asia.

This series of mobilizations is just to prepare for the strategic offensive at the end of the year.

However, before that, there had been an impact.

On June 10, as the Italian parliament passed the bill to form a coalition government with a narrow majority, it was a foregone conclusion that the French, German and Italian countries established a coalition government.

Of course, this is just a coalition government without much real power.

From a legal perspective, France, Germany and Italy still have to hold a referendum to decide whether to establish a brand new European country in the form of a federal government.

However, by mid-2053, the public opinion of France, Germany and Italy had already tended to establish an "European country".

The reason is very simple. The raging world war has made all Europeans feel threatened and made Europeans realize the reality.

In the future world, loose EU organizations are simply impossible to defend European interests.

Of course, the most fundamental impact is to predict the outcome of the war.

You should know that when the war broke out, many Europeans were optimistic about the United States, and even anti-government riots occurred in France. The demonstrators demanded that the French government give up the pro-China policy. However, in June 2053, as China turned defeat into victory on various battlefields, European people's views on the end of the war also changed. According to the polls in early June, 54% of French people, 62% of Germans, and 68% of Italians were not optimistic about the United States, and the people who believed that China would win the final victory had accounted for 37%, an increase of 12 percentage points from half a year ago. The people who believed that the United States could win had decreased to 14%, a decrease of 37 percentage points from half a year ago. The result was that Europeans had to face a brand new post-war world.

In fact, this is completely understandable.

If the United States wins, the world pattern will not change much, and Europe, as a traditional allied country of the United States, will definitely get a share of the pie. Even if it doesn't have too many, it will be enough to ensure that Europe is still the second pole after the United States in the post-war world pattern.

For Europeans, this is enough.

Don’t forget that Europe and the United States have the same ancestors and origins. Even if they cannot replace the United States, it is enough to ensure that most Europeans can maintain their pre-war standard of living.

If the United States is defeated, then Europe's position will directly determine Europe's international status in the post-war period.

You should know that China is the promoter of changing the world order. When China successfully achieves its goal, the benefits are definitely those countries that support and assist China. A neutral Europe will definitely not become the beneficiaries of the war and will not be able to maintain its original international status.

In fact, there are signs.

As early as early as early 2053, when Iran was planning to join the war, the Chinese head of state publicly stated that China would ensure the interests of all members of the Eastern Alliance Group after the war. Although Huang Hanlin did not mention how to fulfill his promise, idiots could think that the total amount of interests did not increase, and only the means of distribution of interests was changed. In other words, China would inevitably share the benefits of war with the allies.

Europe is not an ally of China, so it is obviously impossible to get benefits.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Europeans have undergone such a significant change.

If China can win, then Europe's only choice is to join the war as soon as possible, and to join the war with its allies to ensure a place after the war.

Of course, a scattered Europe will be difficult to play a crucial role, and will not even be valued by China.

You should know that in a sense, the help that the fragmented Europe provides to China is not even as good as that of India, and it is impossible for China to win favor.

In this way, unification must be achieved before joining the war.

Only a unified and powerful Europe can have the ability to play a crucial role in war and to safeguard the interests of all Europeans after the war.

In fact, whether it is pro-American or pro-China, Europe must achieve unification as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is participating in the war as an allies of the United States or as a Chinese allies, only a unified Europe can play a role.

Against this backdrop, a force that promotes unity appeared within Europe, and it was a powerful force.

In the polls at the beginning of the year, more than 80% of the people in France, Germany and Italy believed that Europe must achieve unification as soon as possible.

Obviously, this ratio exceeds that of the pro-China faction.

On June 11, the heads of France, Germany and Italy held a summit in Rome and jointly announced that they would establish the European Federation before the end of July to jointly submit to the whole people.

Immediately, the heads of France, Germany and Italy issued a call to obtain support from other EU countries and establish a European Union that covers the entire EU.

However, there are not many EU member states responding to the call.

By the end of June, only the Netherlands, Austria and Hungary responded positively, claiming that they would hold a referendum on whether to join the European Union by the end of the year.

In fact, China and the United States were not very enthusiastic about this at that time.

The reason is simple. China and the US authorities have to consider a question: Is the unified Europe a friend or an enemy?

On the premise that Europe cannot be guaranteed to become friends, neither China nor the United States want Europe to become a powerful federal country.

The question is, when European unification is already the general trend, how to make Europe an ally is the key.

At this point, the importance of the mainland battlefield cannot be described in words.
