My client Li Yunlong

August 21st.

The first day of the Hundred Regiment War.

early morning.

Beiping,

North China Front Army Headquarters.

"Three months to go."

Looking at the expected analysis report that the staff in front of him worked on overnight, Tada Shun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Eighth Route Army was equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, it also conducted a sneak attack on Baoding Airport, destroying a large amount of aviation fuel and aviation ammunition, causing a serious setback to the bombing plan.

But the Locust Army can afford this loss.

Isn't it just the loss of some aircraft and supplies?

Although the empire's industrial capabilities are not as good as those of Britain and the United States, they are not comparable to those of Tubal, which is supported by foreign aid.

The empire suffered losses.

With the gradual acceleration of the empire's industrial machinery, the situation is still gradually improving and is gradually getting on the right track. Shiploads of new soldiers and shiploads of supplies continue to enter the Republic of China.

Three months later,
That is November 20th,

Domestic support of troops and supplies can all be in place.

At that time, he can send three full divisions, two artillery brigades, two armored regiments, two aviation brigades, etc., and wait for a total of 120,000 locust troops to attack the Taiyue Mountain area and destroy the Eighth Route Army Taiyue base in one fell swoop. , and completely occupied.

At that time, no matter who is the force supporting Tubal Road,

How advanced the technology is.

Facing the empire's absolutely superior military strength, they are all trying to do nothing but act like a chariot.

"Since you only dare to hide behind it, it means you are not afraid."

Tada Jun is confident in his guess.

Although I don’t know why the weapons and equipment obtained by Tubal Road are so advanced, and the manufacturing technology far exceeds that of the empire.

But since the supporters behind Tubal Road only dare to hide quietly behind the scenes, they must be conspirators who dare not show up in public, and any conspiracy cannot match absolute strength.

Afraid of the Empire?
Afraid of other world powers?
Tada Shun doesn't know the reason and can't guess it.

But this was also the key reason why he, the staff, and the Japanese base camp judged that supporting the Tubal forces would have no ultimate impact on the empire's strategy.

"Putting a bounty on an Imperial officer?"

"Humph."

Tada Shun snorted coldly.

···
"In the southern Hebei region, Tubal Road is still putting grain into the market!"

"The silver dollars put into the market every day have not decreased at all."

at the same time.

Shimen.

Suzuki Touji, the person in charge of the Japanese economic war against North China, frowned deeply.

He sensed something was wrong.

The Eighth Route Army still had food to explain.

Although I don’t know how the forces supporting the Eighth Route Army transported such a huge amount of food, as many as hundreds of thousands of tons of food, to the Taiyue Mountains, a thousand kilometers away from the coastline.

But to the world,
This little food is nothing!
Just a few hundred thousand tons,

The empire obtained millions of tons of food in Southeast Asia every year.

After the full-scale war, the empire obtained millions of tons of food from the Republic of China every year.

The empire consumes tens of millions of tons of food every year.

The United States, the country with the most powerful economy and industry in the world, is also the country with the most powerful agriculture in the world, capable of producing over 100 million tons of food every year.

A mere few hundred thousand tons,

To the world, it’s drizzle.

But the silver dollar is different.

The silver dollars taken out by the Eighth Route Army were ninety-five percent pure silver.

A silver dollar contains 22.6 grams of silver.

Starting in May, the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei Province put a minimum of 150,000 pieces of cash into the market every day, and the highest was at that time. Even 300,000 yuan per day is 95% of pure silver dollars.

To this day,
August 21st,
In the southern Hebei region alone, the amount of silver dollars put into the market by the Eighth Route Army was as high as 20 million silver.

That is 452 tons of silver. This number is not high either.

Not to mention the United States, the old empire of Great Britain, even the empire, it is not difficult to come up with this silver. It is naturally very easy to support the forces behind Tubal Road and come up with this silver.

After all, the other party's industrial and technical capabilities are very strong.

But it is not just the southern Hebei base that is putting silver dollars on the market.

Other base areas, Tuba Road in Taiyue, Taihang, Wutai Mountain, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Luliang Mountain and other areas, are also releasing silver to stabilize the value of their so-called border currencies.

It's just that the silver coins in southern Hebei are the largest and most stable.

He has calculated that the Eighth Route Army in North China and the Shaanxi-Gansu region put an average of half a million dollars of silver into the market every day.

After more than three months, more than 50 million silver dollars have been put into the market.

Fifty million silver dollars,
Not much.

Roughly equivalent to 100 million imperial coins.

Twenty-five million dollars.

A capital ship of the empire is more expensive than this.

but!

What made Suzuki Fanji feel something was wrong.

These fifty million silver dollars are all cash silver.

Moreover, most, or even the vast majority, of these 50 million silver dollars were collected by the economic department under his jurisdiction and its departments, and then put into the international market and sold to the United States.

Those who can afford 50 million in cash,
Equivalent to one thousand tons of silver.

It’s not that the empire can’t take it out.

Just twenty-five million dollars.

It also has little impact on the international market.

But Tuba Road is still consuming silver dollars at a rate of more than 500,000 silver dollars every day, which makes Suzuki Fanji feel a faint chill in his heart.

Won't··
Can the power behind Tubal Road and the silver coins they possess really leverage the world market?

No way!
Suzuki Hoji felt a chill running down his spine.

Once the people behind Tubal Road have enough economic strength to provide sufficient hard currency support, such as hundreds of millions of silver dollars, they will force the United States to lower the price of silver in the world.

Then the Locust Army will probably suffer a big loss economically.

···
Sand Valley stronghold.

"Is this a new weapon?"

The third battalion commander of the new second regiment and several company commanders looked at the artillery with wide eyes, like curious babies.

"The caliber is not big!"

At first glance, everyone was a little disappointed.

The super weapon that the regiment leader swore about was highly anticipated, and was even positioned as the decisive weapon in the attack on the Sha'ao stronghold. It was actually such a small-caliber artillery piece.

It looks like only...

"It should be seventy-five millimeters."

Some speculate.

Training in a military school for just half a year is not a job.

"Seventy-five millimeters, can this thing penetrate the Japanese fortress?"

"The Sha'ao stronghold is a reinforced concrete structure."

"uncertain."

"Look at the barrel of this gun."

Only then did everyone notice that although the caliber of the artillery in front of them was only about 75 millimeters, the barrel was very long and the base was also very large.

"This base."

"It's as big as an ordinary 105mm artillery gun!"

"You look at the shells. The shells are much larger than ordinary 75mm artillery. They are almost the same as 105mm artillery."

I trained in a military school for only half a year and received systematic book knowledge. Although the time was short, the trainees still had a very good military vision.

"Isn't this thing just a 105mm warhead for the 75 shell?"

Slowly, everyone realized the core of this artillery. (End of chapter)
