Chapter 140: The 38th War

Due to the strength of the Tang Empire, after Japan's defeat, four countries were established on the Japanese archipelago, and governments were formed by different parties in Japan. Under the intervention of the Tang Empire, the territories under the four governments were intertwined, laying the hidden dangers for Japan to fall into a long civil war in the future.

This was intentional by the Tang Empire. Thanks to Zhang Meng's proposal, a split Japan is in the interests of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. He learned from later Americans, and now he is just using it the opposite way.

After the Japanese rule ended, the Tang army temporarily took over. The regime was also divided into two, South Korea and North Korea, with the 38th parallel as the dividing point. The North Korean leader is the Jin family group that has been fighting against Japan in China for many years. It has a high reputation on the Korean Peninsula. Unfortunately, Zhang Meng did not trust the Jin family and knew that they would develop nuclear weapons to threaten nuclear security in the Asia-Pacific region in the future. Therefore, under the leadership of Zhang Meng, the Tang Empire supported the Li family exiled to rule South Korea, competing with North Korea as a restraint.

The Jin family father and son were very ambitious. When they learned that the backing of the Li family in South Korea was the Tang Empire, they were unwilling to accept it. They wanted to seek support from the comrades from the Federation of China, but they said they would do their best to carry out economic construction and ignore anything else.

Therefore, the Jin family father and son wanted to be dictatorial, so they could only turn their attention to the Soviet Union and seek Stalin's help.

Stalin had always been worried about the Tang Empire taking advantage of the situation to seize millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East. Although Tang and Su had signed a border treaty, the Far East belonged to the Soviet Union and sold it to the Tang Empire, and it was impossible for him to repent. But he couldn't swallow his breath. As the Soviet Union became the world's three giants, his economic and military strength soared. After achieving a full confrontation with Europe and the United States, he was dissatisfied with the neutral attitude of the Tang Empire and did not want the Tang Empire to look at it on the wall, and wanted to disrupt the pool of water in Asia.

The Soviet Union sought global hegemony and was crazy about developing nuclear weapons at this time. He was no longer afraid of nuclear blackmail from the Tang Empire. Therefore, Stalin decided to support the Jin family father and son. He wanted to establish a foothold for the Soviet army on the Korean Peninsula and establish a naval and air force base, extending his tentacles to Asia.

During World War II, the Soviet Union produced tens of thousands of tanks, cannons, and aircraft. Millions of guns. These weapons and equipment soon became outdated after the war. With the US-Tang and Soviet Union's three-year-old competition, various advanced aircraft, tanks, cannons and guns were updated very quickly. The weapons and equipment produced by the Soviet Union on a large scale during World War II were no longer used. It's a pity that it could be just enough to support the Jin father and son.

In March 1949, the Soviet Navy Fleet visited North Korea for the first time and formed 6 armored divisions, 10 mechanized infantry divisions, 20 infantry divisions, 3 artillery divisions, and 2 air divisions for the Jin family army. The tanks, cannons, aircraft, combat vehicles, individual guns and ammunition were required, and even soldiers' underwear were provided by the Soviet Union. This made the North Korean army's strength soar and it was overwhelmingly superior to South Korea.

In return, the Jin family father and son rented the Luojin Port near Vladivostok to the Soviet Navy respectively to use it, causing the Soviet Navy to face the Sea of ​​Japan and the Yellow Sea, posing a military threat to the Tang Empire and the Federation China.

The Tang Empire strongly protested. Zhang Meng spoke with Stalin on the phone and had a big fight, but Stalin was proud of having nuclear weapons and did not sell Zhang Meng's face, which made Zhang Meng very angry.

Zhang Meng would not wait until North Korea took the lead in launching an attack on South Korea, so he urgently convened a meeting of imperial fronts and ordered the Ministry of National Defense to start adding troops to Jeju Island, South Korea, which is the overseas military base of the Tang army.

Cai Zhenghua said: "Don't worry, not only the Soviet Union has a large number of outdated weapons and equipment, but our Tang Dynasty also has a considerable number of weapons and equipment retired. Moreover, even the retired weapons and equipment are much stronger than the Soviet army. We can completely arm the South Korean army within three months."

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Don't be careless. The Soviet Union has many nuclear weapons. We have not yet completed the national missile defense plan, so we cannot force the Soviet Union to a hurry. In addition, we need to maintain a split Korean Peninsula, so we can stop until we reach the point and do not expand the scale of the war."

"I understand!" Cai Zhenghua received the order and immediately deployed after he went down.

The large-scale arms race between the Tang and the United States and the Soviet Union has actually been caused by the Tang Empire. The Tang Empire uses its technological strength leading the world, not only has the lead in the nuclear arms race, but also has the advantage in the conventional arms race. Second-generation jets, second-generation aircraft carriers, second-generation tanks, second-generation combat vehicles, second-generation submarines, first-generation helicopters, first-generation missiles, etc. The Tang army uses its technological and financial advantages to continuously launch a new round of arms races. Even the United States is unable to bear it, not to mention that the Soviet Union was poorer after the war, and it was even more exhausted to catch up.

The Tang army replaced conventional weapons very quickly. Even if most of the eliminated weapons and equipment were more advanced than those in active service in the US and Soviet troops, not to mention that the Soviet Union only supported North Korea with weapons and equipment eliminated after World War II, which was not the same level at all.

The Li family in South Korea also felt the military pressure and threat from North Korea, and hurriedly sought help from the Tang Empire. The two sides coincided. The arms dealers of the Tang Empire also wanted to make money, so they immediately launched a military purchase cooperation between the Tang and South Korea. The 42-year version of the Tang army's tm16 assault rifle was allowed to be exported to South Korea to replace the AK47 assault rifle used by South Korea to prevent weapons and ammunition from being used by the war.

At the same time, exported to South Korea are 300 tz42 armed helicopters, 500 second-generation Raptor interceptors, 500 "Tiger" 2a7+ main battle tanks, 100 Bobcat light tanks, 5,000 various artillery guns, 500 m2 heavy machine guns, 3 billion bullets, and other full sets of equipment from the Armored Division and Mechanized Infantry Division, from steel helmets to socks, all of them are made in the Tang Dynasty.

Such a huge military purchase order was sold to South Korea, but South Korea did not have that much money, so the Tang Empire borrowed money to South Korea. Not only did the Tang arms dealers make a huge sum of money, but the Tang Empire also achieved the goal of further controlling South Korea economically.

These weapons and equipment were arranged by the South Korean army to form an army. The Tang Empire only sent instructors and technicians to help. The Tang Empire did not expect the South Korean army to fight the North Korean army, but was just to appease South Korea and make money.

The Tang army added 20,000 troops to the Jeju Island military base, and the Far East Military Region also added 50,000 troops to the direction of Vladivostok, putting pressure on North Korea, making it dare not act rashly.

However, this move did not scare the Kim family, and soon the North Korean army raised trouble near the 38th parallel.

In the early morning of May 3, 1951, North Korea suddenly launched an attack on South Korea, and ten thousand artillery fired violently, instantly turning the location of the South Korean army stationed near the 38th parallel into a sea of ​​fire. Then more than 1,200 first-generation aircraft from North Korea came to the airfield and destroyed the nearby South Korean army's airport. A large number of second-generation fighters from South Korean army were destroyed on the runway before they could take off.

Immediately afterwards, North Korea's two million troops crossed the 38th parallel and broke into South Korea under the guidance of more than 2,000 first-generation tanks, catching the South Korean army off guard, and hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Incheon fell and the South Korean government moved directly to Jeju Island to seek protection of the Tang Empire.

Zhang Meng immediately convened a meeting of the imperial front to deploy the Korean War. On the same day, the Tang Empire presided over the United Nations emergency meeting and forcibly passed a resolution on military sanctions against North Korea when the Soviet Union voted against it. The United States and Western countries were happy to see the Tang Empire and the Soviet Union fight against each other, and they also expressed their willingness to send troops.

Subsequently, led by the Tang Empire, more than 30 countries including the United States, Britain, France and China jointly formed a joint ** and went to the Korean Peninsula to participate in the war.

However, the United Nations** was just a sacrifice for the Tang Empire to Britain, France, the United States and other countries. The purpose was to shock the Soviet Union and warn the Soviet Union to be enemies of the whole world and to keep it restrained on the North Korean issue.

In fact, Zhang Meng did not intend to let the United ** participate in the Korean War. The entire Asia-Pacific region was from the Tang Empire and foreign countries were not allowed to participate.

The establishment of the United Nations has been slowly moving forward. At the same time, the Tang Empire has reached a secret agreement with the Federation China to jointly send troops to North Korea. The Federal Northeast China Theater Command sent 300,000 troops to the Yalu River. The Tang Dynasty's Far East War Zone annexed Vladivostok, and the Luojin Soviet army opposite was not daring to act rashly.
