Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

After experiencing blackmail from the Japanese "government", Lao Jiang was not in a good mood for several days.In the end, it was still on the front line of Jiangxi's bandit suppression, stimulated by one success report after another, a trace of a smile gradually appeared on Lao Jiang's face.

Early in the morning, Lao Jiang got up and washed as usual... Finally, with the help of his wife, he sat at the dining table and began to enjoy a seemingly simple but very nutritious breakfast.

Just when Lao Jiang picked up a piece of bread and was about to put it into his mouth.A burst of hurried footsteps reached Lao Jiang's ears harshly.For a long time, Lao Jiang, who hated his subordinates interrupting his meal, frowned just now into a big "Chuan" word.

Soon, the slightly frightened figure of the adjutant appeared at the door of the room.Under Lao Jiang's dissatisfied gaze, the adjutant reported in a low voice: "Report to 'Chairman', an urgent telegram from the front line to suppress the bandits. Because the matter is too important, the humble officer had to send it...>

During this period of time, what Lao Jiang was most concerned about was undoubtedly the battle on the front line of Jiangxi's suppression of bandits.I hope that through the victory of the second encirclement and suppression campaign, I can restore my reputation in the party. [

Therefore, the first thing to do when entering the office every morning is to learn about the latest battle situation on the front line.

But now, the adjutant sent the battle report to his home and told Lao Jiang directly that this battle report was so important that the senior officers in the war room of the military headquarters could not make decisions.

However, in general, the content of intelligence is nothing more than two aspects: either the final battle news from the front line, or the battle damage report of the defeat on the battlefield and the failure of the encirclement and suppression.Otherwise, based on the adjutant's understanding of him, he would never disturb his breakfast with an ordinary battle report.

Thinking of this, Lao Jiang with a gloomy face quickly put down the bread in his hand.I took the telegram and started browsing.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m shocked when I see it...>

Facing the angry Jiang Gong.The adjutant standing in front of him turned pale with fright, and stood in front of Jiang Gong tremblingly, saying nothing.And at this moment, Mrs. Song Meiling, who had been sitting next to Jiang Gong, broke the increasingly dignified atmosphere in the room in a very timely manner.Facing Jiang Gong beside him, he asked with a smile on his face.

"Darling, what happened to make you so angry...>

After pushing the battle report in front of his wife, Lao Jiang responded impatiently: "What can happen. It's not a battle on the front line...>

"One main division of the Central Army was completely wiped out, and three miscellaneous divisions were severely damaged. There is almost no difference from the total wipeout...>

Facing the wife who has given him great help financially and externally.Jiang Gong's tone of voice calmed down a little.However, from his words, it can still be heard at this moment.The grievance and hatred in Jiang Gong's heart... >

Although Song Meiling is a woman, she is an outstanding politician after years of exposure.After receiving the telegram from Jiang Gong, after reading it carefully, he said comfortingly: "Darling, I think, this encirclement and suppression campaign. We haven't lost yet... >

Seeing Jiang Gongxun's suspicious eyes cast on her, Soong Meiling raised the telegram in her hand and explained: "The former enemy headquarters reported that although we lost more than [-] people during the entire encirclement and suppression operations. However, those who participated in the encirclement and suppression The main force is still there, especially the other four-way encirclement and suppression forces, which have hardly suffered any losses... >

"As long as we can continue to deploy troops to reinforce the front line in a short period of time, we can definitely continue the second encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Party until we win the final victory."

Jiang Gong, who was worrying about how to inform the whole party of this result without any impact on his status.His eyes lit up, and he subconsciously said: "Ma'am is right, as long as we continue to increase our troops, this encirclement and suppression campaign is not over yet. The battle is not over, and there is no need to inform the whole party of this partial failure... >

Thinking of the specific solution, Jiang Gong's frown suddenly relaxed.He picked up a glass of milk at hand and drank it in one gulp.Then, facing Song Meiling beside her, she said in a good mood: "Madam, the situation is urgent, I will go to the war room to give orders, you continue to eat... >

More than [-] Japanese soldiers, under the order of Lao Jiang, quickly stopped retreating.Then, using the location as a base, the defense line was overhauled, and the Red Army of the Red Party who was still active in Jinggangshan area was besieged.At the same time, waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

The second encirclement and suppression campaign carefully prepared by the Kuomintang "government" fell into a stalemate directly because of Li Guosheng's indirect support and because of the Red Army's Jedi counterattack.Jiang Gong, who was far away in the "government" in Nanjing, had to give up "suspending various actions against the Shandong Ninth Army after the second encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Army was successful."They mobilized heavy troops from all over the country, bit the bullet, and prepared to carry on with the second encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Party.

The two Zhu "Mao" who are far away in Jinggangshan are of course aware of the embarrassing situation Lao Jiang is currently facing.While stepping up preparations for the new round of offensive from **.Facing the unprecedented ammunition consumption of the Red Army, they had to take out the limited gold reserves of the base to purchase ammunition from Li Guosheng and equip the troops...>

The situation in southern China, under the impetus of Li Guosheng, is developing in the direction of intensification.The "government" of Japan, which faces China across the sea, has also started a debate against China. [

Emperor Hirohito of Tokyo, Japan summoned the ministers in the hall, all the ministers of the cabinet, the commander of the Korean Garrison, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army...>

As soon as the meeting started, Lieutenant General Shigeru Honjo, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army who had been greatly humiliated by the Ninth Army, stood up and began to tell the cabinet that the Kwantung Army was inferior in all aspects compared with the Ninth Army.It is hoped that the military department can vigorously support the Kwantung Army Exhibition.

However, as soon as his words fell, he was refuted by the Minister of the Navy, Dajiao Censheng.

After all, after the cabinet invested a large amount of funds and resources into the Kwantung Army, under the condition of limited national power, the military expenditure and resources that the navy can receive from the military will be reduced accordingly.The Japanese Navy, after repeated defeats, also needs a lot of funds and resources to replenish all the ships lost in naval battles.

so.Facing the angry eyes of Lieutenant General Honzhuang Fan, the commander of the Kwantung Army, looking at him.In order to preserve the vested interests of the Navy, the Minister of the Navy, Dajiao Censheng, directly stated that he turned a blind eye.After paying a salute to Emperor Hirohito who was sitting on the throne, he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the cabinet will not only be unable to provide any support to the Kwantung Army, but will also disband or reorganize the Kwantung Army...>

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the moment Dajiao Cen Sheng's words fell, it attracted angrily cursing from a group of army officers.Among all the army officers, the voice of the army minister Sadao Araki.Especially harsh.

"Baga, Mr. Dajiao, what are you talking about, disbanding the Kwantung Army, what are you...>

"More than [-]% of the empire's military expenditure and resources are invested in the navy every year, but. The result... >

"Therefore, the old minister begs His Majesty to immediately send someone to thoroughly investigate the Navy to see where the Navy Department spends these military expenses every year. At the same time, the Navy must also be held responsible for the failure of the Kwantung Army... >

as Lord of the Navy.It is absolutely inevitable to get some benefits from the navy's military spending.

Naval Minister Ogaku Sensei believed that as long as Emperor Hirohito believed Araki Sadao's words and sent important officials to thoroughly investigate the navy, the fact of his own corruption would definitely be exposed.Immediately, bean-sized beads of sweat quickly emerged from Dajiao Censheng's forehead.

Of course, Dajiao Censheng is not a passive person who can become the Minister of the Navy.

As soon as Sadao Araki's voice fell, he pointed at Sadao Araki and retorted: "Baga, you are talking nonsense... If it wasn't for the Army's continuous defeat in the battle with the Ninth Army of China, how could the Imperial Navy have been attacked in Chinese waters? Chinese Navy Ambush…>

A sneer flashed across the face of Army Minister Sadao Araki.Facing Dajiao Censheng, he said with a mocking face: "Dajiao-jun, you have let me down so much. I really didn't expect that you would be a coward who dare not take responsibility... >

Seeing the gazes of all the cabinet ministers focus on him, Sadao Araki said calmly, "Although the soldiers of the Army fought bravely, no matter how brave they are, they cannot match the inferiority of their weapons and equipment."

"You have to be clear: in the case of the same strength, the firepower of the Imperial Japanese Army is not even half that of the Chinese Ninth Army. Under such circumstances, how do you let the warriors win the battlefield? Flesh and blood, to resist the steel shells of the Chinese."

"I can say with certainty: If the navy can allocate one share of its military expenditure to the army every year, then the Kwantung Army under the army of the empire can complete the refitting of all overseas troops within one year...>

Minister of the Army Araki Sadao can speak big words, and as the Minister of the Navy, Otsuka Sensei, of course he can also talk big.

Facing Emperor Hirohito and a group of cabinet ministers, he shouted directly: "Your Majesty, if the military department can continue to increase investment in the navy, I can guarantee that within one year, the imperial navy will wipe out all Chinese naval forces. Let China's coastal areas , truly became the back garden of the Imperial Japanese Navy...>

Putting the big words of the two people together for comparison: the voice of Army Minister Sadao Araki fell, and most of the people standing in the Imperial Palace fell into deep contemplation.Because, these people are all because of the fact that Araki Sadao said.Feel moved.

As for the Minister of the Navy, Dajiao Censheng, just as the words fell, a burst of mocking sneers began to resound in the hall.Among them, the most obvious one is undoubtedly from the army minister Sadao Araki.

Seeing the dissatisfied gaze that Dajiao Censheng cast on him, Araki Sadao said with a mocking face: "Continue to increase investment in the navy...>

Dajiao Censheng, who had an ugly face, was just about to continue to persevere, when he was dying.Emperor Hirohito, who had been sitting on the throne with a gloomy face and said nothing, finally said, "Enough, this is the Imperial Palace, not the vegetable market...>

The majesty of Emperor Hirohito.It is inviolable at any time.As soon as the voice fell, a group of ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please calm down, Your Majesty...>

Facing Yuqian's subordinates who only thought about fighting for power and profit all day long, Emperor Hirohito was not in a good mood, and even worse.After slapping the throne hard, he roared angrily: "Calm down...>

After finishing speaking, he directly set his eyes on the dog breeder who was kneeling in front of him.He opened his mouth and asked: "Kun Yang, you are the cabinet minister of the empire. You said, the current empire. What should I do...>

"This...>

Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Hirohito and all the cabinet members, after a full minute of thinking, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I think that through this battle with the Ninth Army, we must learn a lesson... >

Emperor Hirohito's eyes lit up.He asked, "Uh...>

"Army equipment...>

"According to the battle report, there is an infantry company of the Chinese Ninth Army, with a total strength of more than 150 people, equipped with a total of ten machine guns and six medium-sized mortars...>

"Of course, what the old minister said just now is only light weapons... >

"Look at our infantry regiment: an infantry regiment in the empire only has one mountain artillery squadron under its jurisdiction, that is, six mountain artillery squadrons. As for the squadron, an infantry regiment with more than 16 people is equipped with a mountain artillery Battalion, a total of [-] mountain guns of the same caliber...>

"A 600-man infantry brigade in the empire has an infantry artillery squad under its jurisdiction. And a [-]-man main battalion of the Chinese squadron has an infantry artillery company of the same caliber under its jurisdiction, a total of six infantry artillery...>

In the eyes of Emperor Hirohito and others, China is a symbol of backwardness.No matter how China develops, it is impossible to surpass Japan.Therefore, after listening to the prime minister's introduction, except for Lieutenant General Ben Zhuang Fan and a few other insiders, everyone had incredible expressions on their faces.

Cen Sheng, the Minister of the Navy, who had suffered a loss at the hands of the Minister of the Army, asked directly.

"Your Excellency, how is this possible? How is it possible for the backward Chinese to be equipped with so many heavy weapons...>

As the opponent, the army minister Araki Sadao quickly stood up and retorted: "Okaku-kun, nothing is impossible. If the Chinese can't even equip these heavy weapons, how can they equip the navy submarines with these new weapons... >

After finishing speaking, Sadao Araki turned around and saluted Emperor Hirohito on the throne, and then replied firmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister can vouch for Your Excellency. What His Excellency said just now is not exaggerated at all. Be conservative."

Seeing the Imperial Palace, everyone including Emperor Hirohito had serious expressions on their faces.The dog breeder knows that at this moment, everyone's morale must be boosted.Otherwise, if even the "government" of a country does not have the courage, then the troops below will not even have the courage to fight against the army.

After a short period of contemplation, he changed the subject and said, "Please don't worry too much, Your Majesty...>

Emperor Hirohito nodded thoughtfully, and pointedly asked Inuyangxiang, "Inuyang-kun, what exactly do you want to say?"

Faced with the questioning, the dog breeder no longer hesitated, and quickly said what he thought: "Your Majesty, if all the imperial armies are reequipped according to the equipment standards of the Chinese Ninth Army. With the current financial and resource conditions of the empire, even if it is completed There are not enough resources to produce such a large amount of ammunition."

"However, in order to prevent China's Ninth Army from invading North Korea again, we must strengthen the armed forces of the North Korean garrison. Therefore, in order to target China's Ninth Army, the veteran means to increase the establishment of the Kwantung Army. The establishment of the Kwantung Army will be changed from the existing two The field division has been expanded into five field divisions. At the same time, the equipment of the five field divisions has been strengthened to the standards of China's Ninth Army to deal with possible changes in North Korea and Northeast China...>
