Chapter 310 Everyone's Responsibilities
Chapter 310 Everyone’s Responsibility
Canned soybeans and beef were poured on top of the hot sorghum rice, emitting an attractive aroma. The officers from the front of the northern war zone gathered together and began to eat happily while discussing.
Now the front of the Northern War Zone has moved forward to Dashiqiao, commanding the Liaonan Army and the Liaoxi Army to siege the Japanese army trapped in the Lushun area of Guandong Prefecture. From the road to the east of Fengtian, there are all corpses and broken weapons that the Japanese army lost after retreating in panic. The remnants of the Japanese First Army, the remnants of the Korean Army, the remnants of the Third Army, and the remnants of the Fourth Army. The troops of a total of fifteen divisions were pressed back to the beach like sheep and trapped within the narrow area of Kanto Prefecture. They did not want to resist, but every time they tried to stabilize the front, they were always by the National Defense Army.
The interspersed troops seized the key points first and formed a divided and encircled situation for them. The Kwantung Army's previous experience was there, and the only option for the Japanese commanders to seize the road and flee. Taking advantage of the fact that the National Defense Force's encirclement was not strong, retreating eastward. The Sino-Japanese Army had already moved to the north of the Japanese army, and fought fiercely with the Japanese retreat troops from both sides. Then they turned to the northeast defense line and broke through the Yalu River in one fell swoop. The remaining soldiers of the 15 Japanese divisions retreated chaoticly to the vicinity of Kanto Prefecture, barely forming a line of defense to avoid the fate of being driven out of the sea.
In the direction of North Korea, the Sino-Japanese War Army Group Group, which turned around and rushed over, was vigorously advancing. Before the Second Army was drawn from Qinhuangdao, the Sino-Korea border was unprepared. After cooperating with the North Korean restoration army, which was re-pulled, the Chinese army finally crossed the river again twenty-one years later! Senior officers of the Sino-Japanese War Army raised military flags on the edge of the river near Jiuliancheng, but this time, the military flag will never fall again! The Sino-Japanese War Army and Northeast Protection
The advancing troops adapted from the Anhui army entered North Korea in different directions, and they had been encountering some weak resistance under the city of Pyongyang. Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Japanese Northern Dynasties defended the city to win time for the Second Army to land in North Korea. Moreover, it is also a railway hub. After occupying this place, it can be said that they are not defended against the National Defense Forces. However, even if the Second Army landed in North Korea, the Fifth Army, which was pieced together at the base, arrived. At least half of the North Korea was unable to recover.
It was precisely because of the smooth development of the battle that the officers in the forefront were extremely excited. The staff officers in the forefront were all carefully selected by Li Rui, mostly the backbone of the Youth Army Association. They were originally a group of guys of the supremacy of the National Defense Forces. At this time, they perfectly commanded the actions of the three armies on the front line, completely defeated the main force of the Japanese army, and entered the territory of North Korea. The merits established by the founding are also a legend in military history. After this battle, the National Defense Forces have completely established their national savior status. The development of the National Defense Forces in the future is even more unlimited! At this time, these young officers who gathered together, joked with each other lively, and then ate the hot lunch from the canteen with big mouthfuls, seemed to hope that this moment would never end.
"Have you heard it? The Tanaka government of Japan has issued a statement asking Western countries that are now trading with China to stop their trade. The Japanese Navy will block the entire coast of China and inspect every merchant ship arriving in China. If there is military supplies, it will be detained. Those who refuse to inspect will have to open fire...... They really think we rely on foreigners to win this war? Without foreign aid, I think it's just right, so they can't show off their benefactors after the war and point fingers at our affairs.
Yes. We don’t want anything, we have to chew the hundreds of thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese hedgehogs gathered in Guandongzhou, and the defense line was stable. With a heavy shell, they could smash something. The supply was transported by that little bit of ship, and the food was not enough to eat. What do they still crazy about? According to my opinion, how can the Japanese army be cleaned up this time. Then we will develop the navy, board their broken island, and let them sign a treaty of Shimonoseki. That is really a shame!”
"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"You are so wishful thinking. Foreigners have always been playing a balance of things in Asia. Haven't you seen what the newspaper said? The foreign devils have started to mediate again. I hope we will stop when we see the good news and hope they can help us fight the devils. That's a dream."
"Medaling is a big deal! I am most worried that some guys in China will hum with foreigners, saying that they will cease fire on the spot and negotiate to resolve the issue. If the Japanese don't eliminate them, they will always be thinking about biting us! Everything is made. I think some guys in China just can't see that our National Defense Forces are getting higher and higher prestige. They always want to make trouble behind the scenes... If the president hadn't declared war on Japan vigorously and vigorously at the beginning, it would be difficult to get those guys on the horse! Not to mention that we would have surrounded the Japanese like this!"
These people were talking nonsense, and laughter came in waves. The summer sun shone on their already white military uniforms, and everything seemed to be so beautiful.
But in Li Rui's command post, there seemed to be a storm. Li Rui was angrily throwing a stack of newspapers in his hand on the desk: "Bastard! Bastard!"
Min Zhong, the intelligence counselor next to him, was walking in to call for a report, but was shocked to see the action. He hurriedly asked, "Chief of Staff, what happened?"
Li Rui was so angry that he was a little trembling: "What else can I do? Some news from the rear was that the cabinet and parliament were echoing the mediation plan of Western countries, hoping to start negotiations immediately. Wu Wenjue, the foreign minister, is simply a traitor. The finance department also made a fuss. Mr. Yiyu spoke out for two months of war in an interview, and he spent a lot of money. If he continues to fight, he will have to borrow money. In the future, he will be a heavy financial burden. It means he will be able to stop when he is ready! There are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese devils in Kanto Prefecture, and North Korea is also fighting fiercely. Millions of migrant workers every day
In transporting supplies, millions of troops were fighting bloody battles, just to destroy this food one day. But they were deflated in the rear! There was a member of the parliament, who belonged to the National Defense Committee. He was even more demanding to disarmament! It was said that the 60th Division of the Republic of China now has nearly two million troops, plus the new flight power, and the construction of the navy. Now there are European military aid and American loans. But with the end of the European war, the country can no longer support such a large force. It must return to the size of the 30th Division when it was founded. The National Defense Force must immediately lay off, and what other bills must be passed......"
Li Rui quickly walked to the front of the map, his face turned pale, and he was silently dazed at the large map. Min Zhong picked up the stack of newspapers and looked at it. They were all long telegrams sent from Tianjin, recording the recent changes in China. The name and characters at the end of the telegram were painted off by Li Rui, and it was impossible to tell who sent it. He looked up and wanted to persuade Li Rui to something. But Li Rui spoke in a low voice again.
"Now the Japanese are struggling to death, and no one can imagine that they will do anything crazy. Tolerating these remarks now means that they will be depressed by our morale! The president is too tolerant of these people! Without the sacrifice of us, who could sit in this position and point fingers against us? The demise of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was due to the vigilance and prevention of the warriors, and these scholars and officials could never think of anything else except for selling their country. In the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had been raising scholars for three hundred years, except for Wen Tianxiang. The Ming Dynasty had been motivated for more than two hundred years, and there was nothing more than a Shi Kefa. When Duodou entered Nanjing in the Qing Dynasty, the scholars and officials braved the heavy rain and knelt outside the gate of Duodou, and their hands were piled up more than a foot high. When the heavy rain, the official tassels faded, and the red water flowed all over the ground!
How can this country lose its national defense force now? We must bring back the brigade and vigorously develop the navy and take back Liuqiu, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong. In the northern border of the motherland, there is more than one million territory ceded by Tsarist Russia!" He slapped his slap on the map with a loud voice, but it was also extremely painful.
Min Zhong could only smile bitterly. None of them, radical officers from small groups of the Youth Army, have a lot of opinions about the so-called cabinet parliament. But the president always wants to maintain this appearance that they think is not enough to succeed and have more than to fail. As loyal followers of the president, what else can they do? But no matter how you look at it, the president will not make concessions to them. After all, the National Defense Forces is the most solid foundation of this country! But he still empathizes with Li Rui's anger.
Li Rui finally suppressed his excitement and asked Min Zhong: "What's the matter?"
Min Zhong stood at attention and shouted: "Information shows that the Japanese army has plans to withdraw some of its forces from Kanto Prefecture one after another. The strategic intelligence of the General Administration of Foreign Military Intelligence has not been sent yet. According to the previous intelligence department, the Japanese army may want to use some of its forces to North Korea......The preliminary report of the Intelligence Department at this time."
Li Rui signaled him to put the report down. After Min Zhong left, Li Rui returned to the front of his desk. However, he did not read the report first, but took out a letter that had been flipping through for a long time in the drawer, and began to think deeply again. The signature behind the letter was also carefully smeared by Li Rui, but this content had caused him to think about it for a long time.
"…………………………After Mr. Yun’s foot, I have heard of the domestic trend. I have been working on military training since Tianjin. It has been a long time since I made a visit. According to my intention, I have always been paying attention to the changes in domestic and international situations. The president’s promotion has always been a strong man and political politics. The president’s talent has also been amazed by the past generations. Our country has obtained this person for five hundred years. However, the president’s youth is in full swing, and he has been tolerating the magnanimity of the governor. However, a group of sly and sly men still do not wake up. He is restrained in his actions at all times. Anyone who is as determined as a king’s servant has been angry for a long time! At this time, our country cannot follow the vast Western powers and blindly advance the process of so-called democratic representatives. Our country has no democratic traditions and the people are accustomed to obeying authority. If there is no strong man here, the situation of collapse will be immediately seen! The president’s years of hard work will surely be transformed into a once!
Although the people who are stolen have no strength, as the relationship between Western countries and our country becomes increasingly deepening, the influence of Western powers on our country is also increasing. With this trend of mediation in Western countries, if these people who are stolen and oppress the president's policy to turn, it will be a big mistake for the country! We must have such unfair worries. The president is afraid of weapons, but we do not need to have such a woman's kindness. After a hundred years of infamy, we should be the president. How can we just criticize the praises and critics? It is obvious that such people like the people of the capital have no gains for our country and people. The only future of our country should break through the waves under the president's iron fist. You have established lofty prestige and great military achievements, which is difficult to match in the world. This matter can be quickly, and you can't bear to see it.
All things in the rear should be told to you at any time. Other powerful people from the capital also agree with our righteous deeds. This is very powerful and helpful. After meeting each other, I will tell you in detail.
Forget both the clouds and the mud, and praise Wu Qi."
Li Rui leaned tiredly on the back of the chair. Do you really have to go to that point? The huge danger and the temptation after success, the future of this country surged into his heart, until it could not be cut off.
"Why was Ishii Kwan arrested by the military police? What does this mean? It is said that you will disband the Imperial Parliament recently... This is all an act of shaking the national system!" Tanaka Yoshiichi tried hard to maintain the dignity of being the prime minister in front of his students. However, his students looked indifferent to the teacher at this time.
Masaki gently tapped Tanaka Yoichi's desk, his expression on his face was calm. The fear and fear in front of this teacher in the past disappeared at this time. Because now he is using the army and the one who controls the fate of this country, and he is still the one who will lead the country out of the predicament. He answered the Prime Minister's question in a low voice, trying his best to maintain superficial respect.
"Ishii's foreign minister secretly contacted Britain and the United States. Such behavior did not pass the authorization of the wartime base camp. It was a betrayal of His Majesty the Emperor. We must stop him. As for the imperial parliament, there were too many outdated nobles, veterans, and chaebols who did not meet the development direction of the modern empire. They resisted the national emergency mobilization order and made irresponsible remarks on the naval blockade. They did not agree with the national emergency collection of special taxes during wartime, and even opposed the expansion of the army to forty divisions. The non-national thought of these people must be controlled, and the country's major policies cannot continue to move forward because of their interference... Now it is a critical moment of life and death!"
"We have to admit defeat! There is no other solution. Your actions will only push the entire empire to destruction! Britain, the United States and other countries do not want Japan to become a country that has no resistance to China. They will mediate and balance the situation in Asia. We only need to take advantage of this situation! The naval blockade order, the emergency state mobilization order, and the comprehensive ban on contact between Britain and the United States can only push Western countries deeper into Yuchen's arms! If you do this, you will be the real destruction empire!" Tanaka looked at Masaki without giving in, and Masaki looked at each other fiercely.
"We have not failed! As long as they have no advantageous naval, the war will continue! Even for a thousand years! As long as the support from Britain and the United States to China is cut off, the superior firepower of their national defense force will become a joke. The empire's war potential is above China! Britain and the United States will not start a war against the empire for the blockade and inspection of the imperial navy. Europe is in a war, and the United States is another weak country that is afraid of war. If we choose to negotiate, we must give up Manchuria and Mongolia. The empire will truly lose its future! As long as 60 million Japanese citizens are united and fully support the army, we will eventually win!"
Tanaka sat in his chair dejectedly, and he felt that there was nothing to say about himself, a crazy student. The Northeast War was defeated. The army was defeated in shame. Now the Chinese army has entered North Korea and surrounded the remaining troops of fifteen divisions in the area of Kanto Prefecture. The Imperial Navy wanted to reinforce the army's defense along the coast, and also used the brigade port to supply such a large-scale army under the blockade of the Chinese army's planes. It was already stretched to cover the landing of reinforcements in North Korea. The news came back to the country and the entire empire was shocked. Even His Majesty the Emperor expressed concern and privately said, could the war be ended? However, the young and strong officers of Masazaki were twice as crazy, forcing the whole country to expand the army to forty divisions, with the ultimate goal of one hundred divisions.
Emergency taxation is used to expand the production of military weapons. A large number of civilian product manufacturers are forced to convert to military products, and all raw materials and production materials are immediately subject to the strictest rationing system. They do not admit defeat, but are ready to fight to the end! What is more important is that they are preparing to use the navy to carry out a comprehensive blockade of China's coast. Such a move is undoubtedly an enemy of the world when China sends two divisions of expeditionary forces to Europe every month, as well as a large amount of raw materials, food, and military supplies. But now they only have the supreme power they have obtained, and they ignore everything else. They are angry with China and coups because of their anger towards China and the empire needs to break through. The army needs war to exist and expand, and deeply control this country. Even if the empire perishes, they will carry out the war to the end.
Japan has become a country of loneliness and fear. Maybe at this time, I should do something. Although I planned the April 24th Mutiny, for the long-term existence of the empire, I should not worry about any other problems. Although Masaki and the others can be said to have covered the sky with one hand, this empire still has a stronger spirit. It is just that I have to advance carefully and the empire can no longer tolerate him failing again.
Is my past ideal right or wrong? Perhaps there is no need to explore these things. What is important is the future of this empire. Tanaka closed his eyes.
Masaki sneered and bowed slightly to Tanaka: "Prime Minister, I hope you will attend the base camp meeting in the afternoon on time. Some important proposals are waiting for discussion---oh, the Minister of the Palace, Earl Kinoshita, has been in poor health recently. The Minister of the Ultimate, has recommended Major General Shirakawa to temporarily take charge of his position. Although Major General Shirakawa is not a noble, his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor has not been reduced slightly. I hope you know this fact and say goodbye."
Tanaka didn't open his eyes, but his mind was spinning violently. The old fox in the palace was also controlled by Masaki? I really have to act quickly!
In the past few days, the warm atmosphere in the capital Nanjing has become like a grand festival every day. Good news on the front line keeps coming, and the great results make the people of the capital unable to believe their eyes! In less than two months since the launch of a raid from Japan, the president went to the front line to take charge, and now he has taken over Pyongyang! Our country has become so strong? Then he heard the news that the president is about to return the capital!
The ceremony after the last Qingdao war was still in full bloom. The grand and exciting atmosphere made the people of the capital hardly forget it now. This time, the greater results were achieved. What kind of scene should it be? Students from major universities in the capital sang and marched on the streets all day long, and did not stop until night, as if they were previewing the ceremony. However, some rumors were quietly spreading. The president came back this time to arrange the negotiation issue of the ceasefire against Japan. It is said that it was the pressure from foreigners, and the cabinet and parliament also agreed with the opinions of foreigners. However, these rumors were dismissed by the people. The president did not eliminate the Japanese devils completely, so how could he negotiate a ceasefire? Even if there was a negotiation, he had to return the devils to a treaty of Shimonoseki!
It was different from what everyone imagined. Yuchen got off the bus from Pukou one night and then transferred to the Wuhe warship. He arrived at Guangfu Pier without disturbing the city. Only Wu Cai, Li Zhangyun, Song Jiaoren and others were greeted by him. Li Yuan, who was recovering from his injuries, was also with him.
When Song Jiaoren watched Yuchen walk down the springboard in a single military uniform at the dock, he greeted him. He didn't say much greetings, so he spoke anxiously: "President, just come back, let's arrange negotiations earlier! Representatives of various countries and representatives from Japan have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Yuchen smiled and pressed his hand, and his fatigue seemed to be on his face: "Besides this...... the aftermath must be done, but we have to consider the current morale of the people!"
Song Jiaoren said with gaze: "The president's prestige cannot be lost, I will blame this infamy! The president is so eager to reply, and I probably know what you think. As long as I am good to the country, I, Song Dunchu, will do whatever I do!"
Chapter completed!
