The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() "Taiwan must not be lost! Otherwise, the hard work of decades and generations of the imperial kingdom will be in vain. This is absolutely unacceptable! I don't care what you think, I have only one decision, and an all-out war against China!"

Hideki Tojo rejected the compromise initiative without hesitation, and even opened the door to let in the choking smoke from outside, pointing at the wailing and angry shouts in the raging flames in the distance, and sternly reprimanded: " Listen to the cries of the subjects of the empire! Is there a better way to wash away such a blood feud other than using the blood of hundreds of millions of Chinese people?"

The ministers looked at each other, but they heard the desperate screams of thousands of people. A few soldiers and people hiding in the bunkers were indeed yelling, but it didn't sound so high-pitched and orderly!This shows that most people are busy earning their lives, and a few people have the mood to consider revenge?

Silent, even Ishihara Wanji, who was tit for tat, also kept silent.

Hideki Tojo stared fearlessly at the prince, general and other high-ranking imperial commanders, slapped the table with both hands, and shouted sharply with veins on his neck: "Wake up! Don't expect to make peace with the Chinese! Don't you Found that they have no sincerity for peace talks at all?! The strength and peace of the empire have always been won through wars, and don’t need a group of sick men from East Asia to give them away! Never!” . .

"But, Tokyo...."

Tokyo has been bombed to such an extent that if it continues to be hard-pressed, it will be completely burned if there is no accident.But the economic loss will definitely exceed that of the 1923 earthquake!The construction results of the entire Japanese Meiji since decades are crowded in this square inch, so what a trouble!

Hideki Tojo said angrily: "Tokyo is already like this! Even if the Chinese don't continue to bomb, do you think we will invest huge sums of money to rebuild? Since the empire has successfully landed on the mainland, why should we stick to it? Why not let it go? Besides, we will definitely rebuild in the future. When the empire becomes the world leader, Tokyo will become the core of the Pacific Ocean and the Asian continent. At that time, we can build it into the supreme heaven!"

What awe-inspiring righteousness!Of course, everyone can understand the real meaning, that is.Abandon Tokyo for now!

Do this, really manly?You high-level empires asked themselves, and suddenly found that there is really no better way!Even if a compromise is reached with China now, it is hard to say how many intact buildings and how much life there will be left in Tokyo after a fire.Critical supplies like electricity, running water, etc. are gone.Factories were blown up, houses were burned to rubbish, and at least tens of 10 people were homeless. The cold winter was coming soon, and it was impossible to stay in the city.

Besides, if a compromise fails, will the Chinese side stop bombing and setting fire?That's impossible!So it doesn't take much time for Tokyo to become a white land!

Sugiyama Moto and other army veterans had another idea in their minds.It is impossible for him to concede defeat.But now the air force is completely behind, and most of the air defense has been destroyed.Without a compromise for a day, it will be difficult to return to normal.The entire major local cities have been involved in the long bombing terror, not to mention recovery, it is difficult for ordinary citizens to come back!In fact, there is no doubt that half of the entire empire was paralyzed.

Instead of continuing this stalemate to consume funds, or invest in it and be bombed by the other party.It is better to give up completely and devote precious resources to the construction of the army and navy.As long as there is a strong army, even if the mainland temporarily declines, it will not be difficult to rebuild after the victory.

But it will be different if Taiwan is lost!That big island was the bridgehead for the empire's southward advance.With a population of 600 million, vast soil and resources, the taxation of more than 20.00% of its GDP is not too large, but it is also an excellent supplement.The point is, an unsinkable land base!It is the most convenient starting point for China and Southeast Asia.

"Taiwan must never be abandoned! This is non-negotiable!"

Minister of the Navy Yoshida Zengo shouted in an unquestionable tone, stood up, pressed his hands on the table, his eyes gleamed fiercely: "Not only Taiwan, but Okinawa must also be taken back! For this reason, the Navy will not hesitate to fight the last one. Boat!"

Hideki Tojo was surprised at first, then ecstatic, and almost burst into tears. Finally, is there anyone willing to join him?Very good!Although, it is a hateful navy, a group of guys who have been defeated.But forget about it for now!

Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace stared in surprise at the same time, there is such a scene?not bad!At least you don't have to make a dizzy noise!

He couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation, and leaned forward to inquire: "Does the Secretary of the Navy have any good suggestions?"

Yoshida Zengo nodded slowly but forcefully, and then gestured behind him. Onishi Takijiro, who had just been promoted to major general, stood up with a pout and proud face, and said sonorously: "Our naval air force is about to usher in Brand new fighters, and adopting the deadly "Kamikaze Special Attack" tactic, to carry out a decisive attack on the invading enemy of China, sacrifice for sacrifice, will definitely completely crush their will to fight!"

……not understand!The question mark on Xianyuangong's forehead is really helpless for this way of speaking. It's not easy to ask directly, but this is the life and death of the empire, so I don't care about face.Asked: "Can you make it more clear?!"

Onishi Takijiro puffed up his chest and folded his belly: "In the previous battles, we found that apart from having superior weapons, the China Air Force and Navy had very poor fighting will! It caused huge casualties, and quickly stopped their attacks! At the critical moment of the survival of the empire, we will recruit tens of thousands of brave and passionate young people, and use newly developed special fighters to deal with the invasion of China. The enemy launched lore!"

"Saw Daisina!" His Excellency the Prince suddenly realized, and all the elites of the empire showed a clear look and nodded slowly.Well, not bad, it seems that the fighting spirit of the navy has not been completely destroyed!

Only Ishihara Wan'er couldn't stand this kind of crazy and even stupid plan, and shouted angrily: "I don't agree! Is this going to use the lives of tens of thousands of outstanding young people from the empire to fill the bottomless abyss of technological weapons? ? It's just ridiculous!"

What "Kamikaze Special Attack"!It is clearly to let the outstanding young people fly their planes to collide with the opponent's bombers and warships!This is suicide and murder. How can a soldier waste his precious life like this!To deal with China, you can't just rush forward!

Immediately, there was a roll of eyes around him, cold and sarcastic gazes shot at him one after another, almost piercing him into a sieve.

Hideki Tojo sneered and said, "I didn't sacrifice my spirit. Is that still a soldier of the empire? Ishihara, have you given up the courage to sacrifice for the empire in your heart? I can understand."

There was a burst of low laughter from the army generals, and the navy also smiled, except of course Yamamoto 56.

When it comes to cherishing life, no one is more extreme than Yamamoto. His love for naval soldiers and pilots is well-known.In the last battle in the Pacific Ocean, the pilots who died heroically at the end made him cry several times. This kind of great kindness moved many passionate young people to join the army.

Onishi Takijiro actually made such an absurd suggestion, it is simply crazy!But it is a pity that there are not many people in the navy who are sober, and he is the only one who is stable. Now, in the tense atmosphere where the empire has suffered an unprecedented blow, his opinion is of little importance.

"Then it's settled! The empire will never fear the violence of China! Negotiations must continue. Taiwan must not be lost! Since they won't stop, let's fight until they stop!"

Sugiyama Moto waved his hand, decisively setting the tone.Anyway, Konoe Fumimaro doesn't care about anything, the army has the final say in the entire cabinet, and the navy has no opinion, so let's go crazy together!

"Evacuate all the people in Tokyo! Let the Chinese bomb it, and see if they have more bombs than the fighting spirit of the [-] million people in the empire!"

Is this the prelude to breaking the jar?

Onishi Takijiro is not just talking about it.The Naval Air Force really has a way.In fact, it is nothing new. The ki44 "Zhong Kui" interceptor developed by Nakajima Company.In the continuous battle for many days, his performance was quite outstanding.In the case of "Ultimate Zero Fighter" and other fighting fighters losing one after another, this fighter that can rush to more than [-] meters and take the risk of maneuvering, because of its special structure, it can dive at high speed against enemy bombers and warships.Has excellent stability!

In fact, up to now, the "Zhong Kui" fighter plane has caused more combat results with its desperate collision than other fighter planes, and that is the damage to the enemy fleet.It is also effective on impact!

Previously, this kind of tactic was not used specifically and exclusively. It was mixed in group fights, without organization, and the effect was not ideal.However, after urgent research and analysis, the staff members believe that this is an effective way to restore the situation at a critical moment!

Nakajima was ordered to urgently upgrade and transform the ki44 fighter for this kind of tactics.Replace all the engines with 1880-horsepower products. Although the stability and durability are not guaranteed, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, this fighter is used for suicide attacks. It can sustain a take-off and accelerate the impact. It’s ok, and even landed. If it's not good, you can ignore it... Basically, you don't have to think about flying back!

Remove most of the weapons and ammunition, and only keep a 12,7mm heavy machine gun or a 20mm machine gun. The latter is more expensive, but considering that the opponents are all weapons of this caliber, and they all have armor, the general It can't be moved at all, and the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is.

A little bit of bulletproof armor was added to the engine and the pilot's cockpit. Of course, the purpose is to ensure that they will not be easily damaged or killed before the impact is completed. Compared with the target, this cost is acceptable!

After all kinds of cutting corners, the production cost has dropped a lot, but the performance is more prominent!The first generation already required to climb to 5 meters within 5000 minutes, and to ensure a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour above this height, which is already very impressive.

Now after improving xing, it is more and more satisfying.At least it's not a big problem to catch up with the giant bombers of the opponent!As for the limit dive speed, it is appropriate to exceed 680 kilometers. In this way, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the opponent's anti-aircraft guns to stop it!

Without targeted tactical training, groups of people rushing forward will be intercepted and killed by the opponent's terrifying artillery fire.But what about attacking from various airspaces in all directions?I'm afraid I'm too busy?Even if a hundred ships are exchanged for one battleship, it is worth it!

This is Takijiro Onishi's "Kamikaze Special Attack" tactic!

It is not easy to train a pilot who is good at aerial combat. It takes several years and tens of thousands of pounds.But it's just simple take-off, aiming, acceleration, and impact, and ordinary students can do it.Don't even think about those who are brave, there are too many passionate young people in Japan.Besides, there are more than 5000 million Chinese, North Korean and Taiwanese people in total?They must also work hard for the glory of the empire?

In short, the Japanese upper class who were forced to rush were not only not discouraged and compromised.On the contrary, it aroused the fighting spirit even more.The army does not need to be encouraged, such a shame and humiliation are enough for them to cry out to wash China with blood.As for the people in Tokyo, if they cleverly pushed the blame for the bombing, they would naturally find the target of the attack. In short, the spirit of the entire nation was twisted into one strand.More and more cohesion!

In the middle of the night, various emergency mobilization orders were sent out one after another. As the governor of Taiwan, Kobayashi Chinzao took a serious look after receiving them. He was surprised that the empire was uncompromising and wanted to carry out a resolute all-out war with China? !

It's not because of such an order, but because I didn't expect that at this time, when Tokyo was said to be bombed into ruins, I would still persist in fighting to the end, with this kind of spirit.It's amazing!

The order requires that Taiwan's Governor's Office must be mobilized urgently, and at least 20 guard troops must be organized to prevent China's landing operations at all costs until the imperial navy makes a comeback.For the rebels on the island, don't take soft measures anymore, kill them as soon as they are needed.No mercy!

Kobayashi replied calmly: "This Governor's Mansion will definitely implement the orders of the headquarters, and Taiwan will not lose an inch of land!"

It's not that he's bragging.In fact, since the arrival of the South China Sea Fleet, the Taiwan Strait is no longer the exclusive area of ​​the Japanese Navy, and vigorous construction and expansion have begun here.There are hundreds of airports used by the air force, and all the ports can berth tens of thousands of tons of huge ships, and the number of police officers to maintain law and order has doubled several times.The garrison has increased to tens of thousands.

After the war in Northeast China started, Taiwan supported a large number of soldiers in the past. The emergency call-up this time is just a continuation of the previous action.I believe that those Taiwanese who are tied to the imperial chariot will not have more complaints.After all.This is also for their freedom!

In the middle of the night, radio waves came and went, and the war between the two countries turned from local to global, all because of a few careerists and lunatics who refused to admit defeat.

The bombed fleet flew away, leaving the burning imperial capital and hundreds of thousands of refugees wailing.The Chinese side did not advocate this action too much. It is too much. Setting fire to a city circle with millions of people has exceeded the bottom line of Chinese culture. Most people who are overflowing with sympathy will definitely be punished a little Increased incitement turned to dismissing the actions of the soldiers.

In this regard, Zhu Bin's senior staff had expected that no matter how brilliant the operation was, only the upper echelons of the army knew about it, and they didn't even plan to report the truth to Zhong Yang and the base camp. to post.In short, low-key handling.

However, Lao Jiang's determination to regain Taiwan must be publicized in a high-profile manner!By the next morning, the exciting good news spread in almost all the cities in the country. For a while, Chairman Jiang’s personal reputation index was refreshed again and again, just as he had just succeeded in the Northern Expedition and laid the foundation in one fell swoop in early 32. The unshakable leader's throne is the same as ever!

In Taiwan, the emergency order to mobilize overnight forced many people to crawl out of their warm quilts to respond. Li Jinlong, Taipei's criminal police and Civil Affairs Commissioner, was one of them.

Was urgently summoned to the police station to assign tasks, unify their thinking, swear allegiance, and toss until dawn before returning home with a tired body. Seeing that the whole family was up, the eldest son Li Dengxin rushed over with shining eyes, Staring at him excitedly, he asked in Japanese: "Odou-sang! I heard that China is going to attack Taiwan? Did the higher-ups summon you to carry out the mission?"

Li Jinlong's cultural level is not high, and he speaks Japanese staggeringly, which is not as fluent as his two sons. As a native of Fujian, he actually doesn't like the so-called "imperialization" campaign, but his two sons are very fond of it. Especially the youngest son Li Denghui, ever since he worshiped that Japanese teacher Fujimoto Chennan as his teacher, he walks, sits, and sleeps as a standard Japanese himself, and refuses to speak a word of Chinese at school or at home. It's very awkward to put on a dead face and pretend to be serious.

At this time, seeing that the eldest son also behaved like this, he was so angry that he had been tossing and tossing for half a night without waking up, and he scolded angrily: "At home, you have to look like home! What about China, China is China, you Eighteen generations of my ancestors were all Chinese!"

"No! This is Odou-sang, you are wrong!" A male duck who was in the voice-changing period interjected. The youngest son, Li Denghui, was wearing a so-called kendo uniform similar to the leather skirt of a pig butcher, holding a sword in his hand. Bamboo and wood were tied into "swords" and striding forward, the tall and slender figure taller than the wretched old man in adolescence stood up straight, pursed his mouth and said sharply, "Since we have become emperors, we have to follow Those Chinese people are completely separated!"

The 16-year-old boy, with his condescending posture, actually pressed the father Li Jinlong's chest tightness, and his heart was depressed. He was very suspicious of the origin of this young son, and he became more and more upset. He straightened his thin and lonely body, and suddenly changed his face: "You What do you know!? There is going to be a war soon!"

"That is a good time for us, as passionate young people of the emperor, to work hard!" Li Denghui assumed the posture of an adult, looking up at 45 degrees with the momentum to break through the sky!

Elder brother Li Dengxin agreed with this very much, and nodded desperately: "That's right! That's why I'm going to sign up to join the army! It's such an honor to become an imperial soldier and fight for the empire! I'm sure I'll be sent to the Yasukuni Shrine in the future Accepting the offerings of incense from hundreds of generations will honor the ancestors!" (To be continued.)
