Chapter 328 South Exit
.
Japan's mentality is very complicated now. Especially for the military and ministers, it stopped the giant dragon around it that it had bullied and awakened again. The first roar of awakening made the little dwarf of Japan shake up. Now the dragon began to stretch out its claws. The direction it stretched out was itself.
Although in order to consider the reactions of the lower-class people, China's combat reports on Japan are strictly controlled in Japan. The people have no more useful news except for hearing the Imperial Army wherever they win. Although several major cities in Japan's 100 were devastatingly hit by the Chinese bomber group some time ago, and the thick smoke soaring into the sky can be seen several kilometers away, the Japanese propaganda agency deliberately concealed the number of casualties, and who is capable of investigating and obtaining detailed data for civilians?
In fact, Japan, who is by the Dragon, is most concerned about China's dynamics. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan's intelligence spy on China has never stopped. Before 1940, several years of spy collection accumulated Japan's understanding of China to a certain extent even more than the central government led by Jiang Guangcheng back then.
However, there is an exception, that is, the southwestern provinces at that time. The reason is that the southwestern provinces were synonymous with remote poverty, except for four, the other provinces were synonymous with remote poverty. Although there were resources, the road basic conditions were too poor, and the Japanese intelligence agencies did not collect the situation here frequently and densely in places as important as Shanghai and Beijing. It was this guy who was nesting in the mountains that ended the history of Japanese colonization of China. The man named Duan Guoxue had strong armed strength that made the Japanese top leaders unbelievable. With his powerful military power, he steadily drove away the Japanese army while also cleaning up the local forces on every piece of land. It can be said that the process of his expelling the Japanese army from China was an expansion process, from a local armed force to a person sitting on the throne of China's highest power.
Japan treats China's rise with a very complex and extreme mentality. China has been a Japanese teacher since ancient times. Japan has been learning from China from administration to culture. Since the Meiji Restoration of 1864, Japan has gradually discovered that if it wants to become a world power, it must solve the obstacle of insufficient resources, and China under the rule of the weak Qing Dynasty became the first choice. After the whole country's efforts to bet on the country's future gambling game won huge returns, Japan has been determined to colonize this land all the time since then. At the same time, the narrow thinking of the island country has developed a mentality of contempt for China with the various victories of China in the following decades, especially the Japanese propaganda department, which is an accomplice in the spread of this mentality. Under their propaganda, China has become a coward, incompetent, and arbitrarily bullied in the minds of the Japanese devils.
There is a saying that people can form alliances or be friends, but people and dogs cannot form alliances or be friends, because the two moves are not a pound at all, at the level.
China's rise made Japan fear and deeply jealous, and Japan feared China's future revenge. Because from beginning to end, Duan Guoxue never said anything about giving up compensation to Japan or ending the state of war. And from the information collected, Duan Guoxue himself had a deep sense of disgust towards Japan, and don't forget. A few years ago, these beasts who were criticizing yellow leather jackets did many things that both people and gods were angry on that land.
Although Japan was finally afraid that Duan Guoxue would send the bacteria studied by Unit 731 to Japan and cause immeasurable consequences, they finally withdrew from Manchuria, which they were reluctant to leave, with Japan's huge naval strength at that time, Japan could still ensure that it was not threatened by China's force.
But the situation has changed since 1942. Is the Chinese navy no longer living peacefully as usual? They are frantically attacking various Japanese ships. Such attacks have made Japan's fragile logistics support increasingly tense. What's more serious is that for island countries like Japan with insufficient resources, losing maritime transportation means that they almost rely on foreign resources.
Now that China's army fights with the Japanese army in Southeast Asian countries, the current situation has worsened even worse. Until now, is Japan retreating, is it a reconciliation, or defending?
This problem is about civil and military generals and officials at all levels who are now sitting in the basement of the palace. Because the palace on the surface has become a ruin under the focus of the Chinese Air Force, underground protection measures have preserved the emperor and a group of important officials. The room is a bit dark. Although there are independent power and water supply equipment here, in order to save precious fuel, the lights are not turned on, which makes the giants who already have some shadows in their hearts feel even more depressed.
"You guys, the Chinese people are very good at choosing time. They have now selected our weakest seal and hit our weakness. At present, most of Vietnam has been lost, and Laos has been completely lost. Even for the remaining areas, the loss is only a matter of time. We cannot transport supplies there by sea, and the transportation capacity by land cannot meet the needs there. "Asia... the one who cheated on it was actually Emperor Hirohito of Japan, which made the habit and meeting not long after the meeting": It is difficult for everyone to interrupt the emperor's words, and Emperor Hirohito also used his identity to tell the following words.
"When you call me up, I want to talk to you about what we are doing. How do we deal with the situation in Southeast Asia?"
"His Majesty Yao, the current situation in Southeast Asia is indeed not optimistic. When our army came into contact with the Chinese army in northern Vietnam, we thought that the Chinese would not let us threaten the industrial zone in Guangxi, so we did not provoke too much war. But we did not expect the Chinese to regard our concessions as weak and pressing forward step by step. I think we must teach the Chinese people well and let them know that the reputation of the Japanese Empire in Asia was achieved through their bodies."
The current Prime Minister Hideki Tojo immediately took over the conversation and cleverly dressed up the defeat with a gorgeous beautification.
"But the problem is whether we still have the ability to fight! It's fine if the army loses, but the navy also fails. Nagamo destroys Japan's last fleet, and he destroys the hope of Japan's rise to the bottom of the Yellow Sea in China!" Hirohito was a little angry. In fact, it also wanted to teach the Chinese people hard or even recolonize the land, but he had to ask whether his fists agreed or not.
"His Majesty the Emperor, I think Japan has now fallen into a vicious cycle of dead ends." The person who spoke was Muratoshi Murato, a newcomer who was a little famous in politics.
"We in Japan need to transport raw materials from outside the island. We also need to dump products outside the island. This requires the escort of the navy and the development of the army. The two need to be closely coordinated and supported.
Now the army was hit by the navy and the navy was not optimistic. The army lacked the supplies provided by the navy and the navy also lacked the return of the army after the army was developed. Both were threatened by the Chinese people at the same time but had no power to fight back. This is an absolute dangerous signal,"
"Rareless, do you mean that the Japanese Empire is going to be defeated? And it is still defeated by the despicable Chinese people?!" Nakamura Watun didn't say that word carefully, but even so, officials immediately jumped out and scolded Nakamura's speech.
"Continue!" Hirohito's support made the guy who had just started to flinch back.
"In my opinion, whether it is the army or the navy, we lack effective means of strike against China. We do not have tanks, aircraft, cannons like them on the army. We cannot defeat the navy without effective anti-submarine. So we might as well think about the problem from a different perspective. Why don't we send people to China and ask. Duan Guoxue in China how big the land it takes to satisfy his desires."
Nakamura Watun's words made all the officials surprisingly not scolded him, but buzzed with each other about Nakamura's idea of finding a different way.
"You guys, China is now fighting for two forks. He used millions of troops to fight the Soviet Union in the north. Although he won the victory and land before the mouth, he still seemed to be unsatisfied.
Now the war in the north has subsided, but this is just a greater tranquility before the war. After the spring of next year, the northern countries of China will break out more fiercely than before. You might as well think about it. China has invested so much force and resources in the Far East, so how many troops and resources does it have to attack Southeast Asia?"
"In my judgment, China can have at least one million troops to participate in the war to move south, and even if this number is half of the compromise, it will have 500,000 troops. What is the intention of the Chinese? What can make him dare to fight on two fronts? I analyze the geopolitical threats and going south. "If the Chinese take Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand, then the Chinese sea route to the Indian Ocean can bypass the Strait of Malacca and protect the industrial zone he established in Guangxi. Faced with the Chinese offensive, the military might as well give in some places. This can not only alleviate the pressure of insufficient troops in the army, but also alleviate the logistical pressure of the navy, but also understand the Chinese's thoughts. "What about Myanmar?" An army officer asked the questions he was concerned about coldly.
