Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 344 The Great Strategic Conception of Yuuchi Terauchi
What Terauchi Shouichi said was rough and reasonable, but Okamura Ningji still couldn't make up his mind. If the scourge of the Osaka Division was really transferred to North China, it would be difficult to get rid of it.

"It is true that the policy for the people of China should be changed, but I need to think about the transfer of the Osaka division!" Neiji Okamura's attitude was obviously not as firm as before.

Sensing that Neiji Okamura's attitude has wavered, Isamu Terauchi continued: "Your Excellency, Handan City and the surrounding counties are currently empty of defense forces, and there is an urgent need to replenish some troops. I think we can first transfer some officers and soldiers from the Osaka Division on the front line. Come to Handan, if they can really play a role, then they can disperse many officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division to all parts of North China!"

"Mr. Okamura, the left and right are just reselling some military supplies. Which division in the imperial army has not done similar things? It's just that the Osaka division is more famous. I think I can try Terauchi Isamu's suggestion. Do it in HD A pilot project, if feasible, can be implemented on a large scale!" Terauchi Shouichi said.

"Yo Xi, I will report this matter to the base camp tomorrow. In addition, the [-]st Division of Shanxi will be dispatched to Changzhi and the south area. As for the supplementary source of troops in Handan, the base camp will transfer about one person from Ryukyu at the end of the month. The strength of the mixed brigade will be added to Handan, and you will be fully responsible for allocating it. I hope that the surrounding areas of Handan will return to normal law and order in October!"

"Ryukyu, from China?" Yuuchi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this is a mixed brigade composed of Ryukyu people. Don't worry, their combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is enough to maintain law and order in the rear!"

Okamura Neiji didn't even call them Chinese people. In his mind, Ryukyu, which had been ruled for many years, was completely the territory of the empire.

"The empire has occupied Ryukyu for more than [-] years. The young people of Ryukyu have grown up under the rule of the empire. There is no need to question their loyalty to the empire. What do you think, brother!" Okamura Neiji said looking at Terauchi Shouichi .

Terauchi Shouichi had once been stationed in Ryukyu and had a deep understanding of the local conditions. Then he said disdainfully: "The rule of the empire in Ryukyu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Those who dared to resist have been killed. The young people accept the education of the empire. In my opinion Come on, now you can consider them second-class citizens of the empire!"

"Hi!" Terauchi Yong couldn't agree with what the two said in his heart, so he could only respond silently.

Isamu Terauchi is an extremely complicated person. As mentioned earlier, due to the influence of Osaka's geographical location and cultural factors, the people of Osaka developed their wisdom earlier and had flexible thinking.

Taking Isamu Terauchi as an example, his family lived in poverty in his early years, so he harbored prejudices and even hated the Japanese authorities in his heart.

Although he entered the mainland to study later, he was not brainwashed by the Japanese Communist Party, and he was not turned into a war machine like most of the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese army.

Isamu Terauchi is also one of the few sober people in the Japanese army. His war experience on the front line made him soberly aware that the high-level Japanese and domestic chaebols are seeking the dividends of war, and soldiers are just tools in the hands of some people.

The war will end sooner or later. According to Isamu Terauchi, Japan is now an inflating balloon, and sooner or later it will explode with a bang.

At that time, as the loser, thinking about the countless families in China who have been brainwashed by the Communist Party, Yuu Terauchi shuddered at what would happen in the future.

This is also the reason why Terauchi Yu actively seeks wealth. He does not want his family to return to the way it was before the war, or even worse than before the war.

With one hero and three gangs, it is imperative to form a group, which is extremely common in Japan.

In this regard, Isamu Terauchi also got inspiration from Ningji Okamura.

Okamura Ningji is one of the core figures of the Showa Warlord, whose predecessor was "Sanyuwu".

At the end of October 1921, one week before the assassination of Prime Minister Takashi Hara of the Japanese government cabinet, a secret meeting was held at a spa called Baden-Baden in the noble castle area of ​​the Black Forest on the upper reaches of the Rhine in Germany.

The three Japanese military attaches abroad, all of whom are majors, gathered together to discuss current affairs.

The three were Nagata Tieshan, Obata Toshiro, and Okamura Ningji, all of whom were the proud sons of the Japanese army. They were later called "Three Feather Crows" - the meaning of "three crows" in Japanese

At that time, Hideki Tojo was also standing guard at the gate. Later, "Sanbawu" selected 7 more talented colleagues who did not belong to the Changzhou Domain.

They are Umezu Yoshijiro, Yamashita Bongfumi, Nakamura Kotaro, Nakajima Kagego, Shimomura Sada, Matsui Iwane, and Isoya Rensuke.

These 11 people are the core backbone of the Showa warlords that Japan relied on to launch World War II, and now they all have a lot of power in their hands.

Yu Terauchi wants to follow the example of Ningji Okamura to form a group. Now, apart from himself, the core member of the group behind Yu Terauchi is Togo Jiro, the captain of the gendarmerie at the execution platform.

Therefore, Isamu Terauchi wanted to find suitable candidates from his hometown in Osaka, transferred the Osaka Division to North China, and dismantled it to various places, just to reduce the influence of the senior generals of the Osaka Division on middle and low-level officers and soldiers.

Only in this way will it be convenient for Terauchi Yong to join forces in the future, expand the members of the group, and expand its influence step by step with the help of war.

Although the current members of the group are not as powerful as the Showa warlords, they are in the prime of life. After more than ten years, when the Showa warlords are getting old, even if the war loses, the group behind Isamu Terauchi may be able to take their place in Japan's military and political affairs power.

Of course, the above is just Isamu Terauchi's idea. The urgent thing now is to persuade Neiji Okamura to transfer the Osaka Division to North China.

As for whether the soldiers of the Osaka Division are willing to be dismantled and distributed to various places, in Isamu Terauchi's view, compared with the hard life on the front line, the rear is more like a paradise, and compared to the fellow villagers in Osaka, they will be happy to leave.

"Your Excellency, General, just now I heard that colleagues from the [-]st Division will be transferred to Changzhi?" Si Neiyong asked.

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency, General, I am confident that the law and order around Handan will be restored in October to ensure the smooth flow of the Han-Chang Highway. I have a little idea here!"

"Oh, talk about it!"

"Compared to the Eighth Route Army, the national army on Zhongtiao Mountain is the empire's confidant. If it is not eliminated for a day, the empire's strategy of attacking the capital of the Chinese government from the west line will not be realized. Handan is an important town on the Ping-Han line. All the materials in Tiaoshan are transferred in Handan, which wastes a lot of time!"

"The surrounding areas of Handan are rich in products. Ci County produces coal, and Wu'an produces mines. I suggest that Handan be made into a production base similar to Shimen and Taiyuan. In this way, a steady stream of materials can be directly supported from Handan to the front-line fighters." force."

"This will save a lot of time, and the warriors' offense will be smoother!" Terauchi Yu said slowly.

The brave words in the temple are undoubtedly seeking greater power, and the people present are all human beings, how can they not understand.

Terauchi Shouyi was very surprised by Terauchi Yong's self-motivation, but of course he wanted to help his own children if he could. One of the purposes of his coming to Beiping was to occupy a place for the newly promoted Terauchi Yong.

"Mr. Gangcun, when I was in charge of North China, I also thought about building Handan as a production base, but the law and order in Handan was not as stable as Shimen and Taiyuan at that time!"

"If Si Nei Yongzhen can ensure the security around Handan, maybe you can try it!"

　Brothers, just imagine, decades later, the Japanese Prime Minister Terauchi bravely visited China and was received by Zhou Weihan. What kind of scene is this?
