Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Emperor Meiji laughed loudly and said, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk about it after we have eaten." At this moment, an attendant ran in suddenly and said, "Report to His Majesty, just now, a part of Lin Yuan's troops crossed the border." Bungo Suidou, attack Shikoku Island!"

Emperor Meiji gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "Order the troops stationed on Shikoku Island to stand firm with all their strength."

Nogi Nozomi hurriedly said to the side: "His Majesty, please think twice!"

Emperor Meiji asked, "Does Nogi-kun have anything to say?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "Your Majesty, the troops stationed on Shikoku Island are the 14th Division, the 15th Division, and the 16th Division. Although these three divisions are not weak in combat effectiveness, they are too few in strength, and Shikoku Island is occupied by Seto. Surrounded by the inner sea, Lin Yuan's troops can land from all sides, but it is impossible to defend with only those three divisions, and these three divisions will definitely be wiped out by Lin Yuan's troops."

Emperor Meiji said: "Then according to your opinion, how should we fight?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "Immediately withdraw these three divisions to Honshu Island and strengthen the defense along the coast of Honshu Island."

Emperor Meiji smiled and said, "Nagi-kun, if you were a commoner and saw your country's army retreating without a fight, what would you think?"

Nogi Nozomi said: "People without military literacy will of course think that the army is cowardly and think that soldiers are cowards, but the army is preserving its strength, just like retracting a fist before hitting someone!"

Emperor Meiji smiled and said: "Look, you also understand this truth, so we can't let the people think that our imperial army is a coward who fights. Even if all the three divisions are broken, they will stay there!"

Nogi Nozomi said: "But what's the point of such a sacrifice? What do those bastards know? How can we cater to them?"

Emperor Meiji shook his head and said with a smile: "Naimu-kun, Lin Yuan's troops will not attack again after capturing Shikoku Island. What they have to do is to win the hearts of the people, that is to say: the next stage of this war is a battle for the hearts of the people. Seeing that Lin Yuan’s troops have abundant supplies, they are of a different race after all! The battle of popular sentiments may not win against us.”

Nogi Xidian nodded slightly, but he was muttering in his heart: "Can we really win against Lin Yuan's troops?" Nogi Xidian guessed right, Lin Yuan's troops really adopted the method of attacking from all sides, the 24th Division, 48th Division The Division and the 49th Division attacked from four directions on Shikoku Island.

At 23:14 p.m. on July 15, Lin Yuan’s troops annihilated the 16th, [-]th, and [-]th divisions of the Japanese army and successfully liberated Shikoku Island. The news was quickly reported to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was not at all excited, because there were too many victories up.At this moment, Shen Wanqing came over with a document and said, "Look! Double happiness!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "What double happiness?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "We just received information that Japan will hold a sacrificial ceremony at the Yasukuni Shrine on August [-], and the emperor will also attend. We just need to dispatch a group of fighter planes to fly over the Yasukuni Shrine and drop bombs. The emperor and all the high officials are finished."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "We can't do that!"

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise: "Didn't we always publicize that the Emperor is Japan's biggest executioner? Isn't it right for us to kill him now?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Although we propagate like that, not all the people believe it. Now that we kill the emperor, we let the people of Japan fight us with the same hatred, and the Japanese respect the dead the most. The Yasukuni Shrine displays all of them. The gods of soldiers who died in the Japanese Civil War are highly respected by the people, and blowing up the Yasukuni Shrine at this juncture is just to sow hatred for themselves."

"And the main purpose of the next stage is to gather people's hearts and prepare for the attack on Honshu Island. This is much more difficult than military matters. We can't do things that hurt people's hearts now."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and threw the documents in her hand aside dejectedly, then Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be sad, I'll tell you something interesting."

Shen Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What's interesting?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "I'll tell you after I deliver a few orders."

Shen Wanqing coquettishly said "I hate it" a few times, Lin Yuan walked to the phone and said, "Connect me to the Central Front Army Command." After the call was connected, Lin Yuan said, "Old Xiao, what is the situation of the Ryukyu National Defense Force now? Sample?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "They are stationed in several military camps on the Osumi Peninsula, why do you ask them?"

Lin Yuan said: "After all, they are not directly under our army. I am worried about their military discipline! Now is the critical moment to win the hearts of the people. If they do something like robbery and rape, the impact will be too bad."

Surprised in Xiao Yingwu's tone, he said, "I really didn't expect this. I will send our troops to station beside them and watch them."

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, this matter must be done as soon as possible. I will tell the King of Ryukyu to withdraw his troops quickly."

Xiao Yingwu agreed, and Lin Yuan called Tang Fan again, asking, "Are there any comments in the newspapers opposing our attack on Japan?"

Tang Fan replied: "There are some, the writers of the articles haven't changed, they are still the same ones. In my opinion, these guys must have taken money from the Japanese."

Lin Yuan said: "You secretly inform the General Intelligence Bureau to find out whether these guys have received money from the Japanese. If so, tell the public security organs about it and let them arrest these guys. Now It is a critical period to win over the hearts and minds of the Japanese people, domestic public opinion cannot fluctuate greatly, you must control it well."

Tang Fan agreed, and Lin Yuan called Han Mingguang again, saying, "Prime Minister Han, please immediately allocate a batch of food and civilian supplies to the Transportation Department of the Joint Command, and deliver them to the Northern Front Army and the Central Front Army. These grains aid the Japanese people."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and called Zhang Hua again. Not long after, he heard a woman's voice from inside: "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard this voice, and thought in his heart: "Zhang Hua actually found a woman! And this voice sounds very familiar, this woman must know her!" Lin Yuan said while thinking, "Is Zhang Hua there?"

The woman's voice sounded again: "Zhang Hua, I'm looking for you." After a while, Zhang Hua's voice rang on the phone: "I'm Zhang Hua."

Lin Yuan said: "Old Zhang, I'm Lin Yuan, you asked the engineering company under Zhang's Industrial Company to send people to Japan to carry out infrastructure construction."

Zhang Hua said: "We already have a plan for this matter, so don't worry."

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Food, infrastructure, public opinion guidance, these things are determined, and the matter of winning the hearts of the people will go smoothly."
