The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 386 Taking Back the Northeast

"Your Majesty, gentlemen. We must understand the fact that although the Northeast is very important to the Japanese Empire, it is also very important to China. Wu Aihua once said to me that the Northeast and Taiwan are China's inherent territory. China's most fundamental interests cannot be lost. Therefore, if we want the Northeast, we must have a war with China. Everyone knows the outcome of the war three years ago. In the past three years, how much China has changed and how strong it is, I think you guys should be clear.

Now, if we have a decisive battle with China, I think there is a great possibility that our Great Japan will be defeated.Think about it, everyone, if the Empire of Japan is defeated in this duel, what kind of ending will it be?Some people may think that what I said is too pessimistic. Then, what is the most optimistic scenario? The most optimistic scenario is that both China and Japan will lose, but I think this kind of situation is very difficult to happen.

Also, we need to be clear about a few things.At present, 27% of the coal needed by the Empire of Japan, 18% of the iron ore needed, as well as artillery, chariots, etc., must be imported from China. If there is a war with China, these will be lost.

So, what would happen if we gave up on the Northeast?We have not lost any strength. Although the material resources in the Northeast have been lost, we have a plan to develop to the south.If we send troops to Southeast Asia, I think China will provide more support to us.

Your Majesty, my lords, the Empire of Japan should look around the world, Southeast Asia, Australia, India, these places are currently very empty of troops, Britain has actually been defeated, can they still hold India and Australia?Therefore, our strategy is to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Southeast Asia, India, Australia and other places, and quickly expand the strength of our Great Japanese Empire. When we already have Southeast Asia, India, Australia and other places, I think, our strength It will completely surpass China!At that time, it is not up to us to decide what we want to do.

Your Majesty, gentlemen, now is the best time to develop southward. The U.S. Army currently has only 20 troops. The U.S. Air Force is comparable to ours, and the U.S. Navy is also comparable to ours. It is not a level at all.Therefore, as long as we can formulate a plan to quickly destroy the US Pacific Fleet, aren't the places I just mentioned within reach?

Moreover, as long as we use troops to the south, China will definitely support us.In recent years, I have conducted repeated and in-depth research on China. I found that their president, Wu Aihua, is an extremely insidious person. For example, during the European War, he sold supplies to both sides, just like the United States; Germany's support, because Germany's victory over Britain, is in China's greatest interest. No, after Germany's victory over Britain, it quickly turned its guns and began to attack Soviet Russia, while China wanted to fish in troubled waters, and it was very likely to attack Soviet Russia.

Why does China increase its aid to us?The reason is still based on Wu Aihua's insidiousness. He hopes that we will fight against the United States, Britain and France, thereby consuming our strength, as well as the strength of the United States and Britain, so that China can profit from it.

Therefore, it is inevitable for China to expand its support to Japan.So, will we let the Chinese conspiracy succeed? "

Ishihara Wan'er expressed his thoughts in one breath.This is Ishihara Wanji's usual opinion. He always believes that there must be a decisive battle between the East and the West to determine whether it is the dominance of Eastern culture or Western culture in the world.

In fact, the rise of China was an accident, which made Ishihara Waner feel confused, because the rise of China added another variable to his global strategy.However, later, Ishihara Waner figured it out. Doesn't the rise of China just show the strength of the Orientals?China can rise to become a big country, and Japan should take advantage of the trend and become another big country that does not lose to China. China wants to own northern Asia, so why can't Japan own a southern Asia?

Even in the end, there will be a decisive battle between China and Japan. At that time, Japan has also become a behemoth, and it will be much more difficult for China to win.

Why Ishihara Wan'er would have such an idea, in fact, it was Wu Aihua who once fueled him.Wu Aihua talked about a point of view in the secret meeting with Ishihara Waner, that is, the issue of "strategic depth". Wu Aihua clearly pointed out that if Japan wants to become a real power, it cannot rely on the four Japanese islands alone, and must occupy a larger area. place, to have a place to move.

At that time, Wu Aihua only said so, because he was not sure whether to lead the Japanese north or south.However, Wu Aihua is relieved that history has come to this day, because Japan's strongest is not the army, but the navy. Japan has a natural advantage in seizing the islands in Southeast Asia.Therefore, its idea of ​​expanding to the south has always had the upper hand. Besides, in the contest between the Japanese Ministry of Army and the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of the Navy has always occupied a dominant position.

After Ishihara Wanji expressed his opinion, he immediately received the support of the Ministry of the Navy, including the commander of the United Fleet, Yamamoto 56.The voice of opposition naturally came from representatives of the interests of the Ministry of War and the Kwantung Army. However, when Ishihara Wanji asked again: "How sure are you of defeating China's Northern Front Army?" The Ministry of the Army stopped talking.

What can the War Department say!The intelligence of the Northern Front Army of the Chinese National Defense Army was in front of them. Although the information was incomplete, when they saw that China had equipped three artillery armies and nine artillery divisions with a total of 3 9mm heavy artillery pieces, they consciously stopped talking.

This information was a misunderstanding. Wu Aihua would not use these 9 artillery divisions to fire at the Kwantung Army, but the problem is that the Kwantung Army didn't know.Furthermore, China still has 3 cavalry armies with a total of 15 cavalry divisions in the north, 3 armored armies with a total of 9 armored divisions, and 10 air force divisions all over the country. Just imagine, can Japan win?

The Japanese base camp, including Hirohito, was forced by China's strength, and of course because of Japan's strategic interests, in the last half hour of the three-day period stipulated by China, the Japanese ambassador to China Shigeru Kawayue handed over a diplomatic document to China : Japan agrees to withdraw the Kwantung Army to the Korean peninsula.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the global public opinion!Because in their view, Japan will not give up Northeast China. In that place, Japan has huge interests, even strategic interests. Its industrial base is at least one-fifth of Japan’s. Japan’s loss of Northeast is equal to It's a broken arm.

However, there are also Westerners who have studied Japan deeply and saw the profound meaning of Japan's step. Someone wrote in an American newspaper and pointed out, "The withdrawal of the Japanese Kwantung Army from Northeast China is a victory for China, but not a defeat for Japan. It means the shift of Japan's strategic direction, and Southeast Asia is in danger!"

Wu Aihua didn't care what the world said. Japan's withdrawal from the Northeast was indeed a huge victory for China.The domestic people are almost bursting with excitement, everyone is rushing to tell each other, all kinds of hotels and restaurants are overcrowded, because they are all drinking and celebrating!Students in universities and middle schools are even more a barometer of social consciousness. They marched and cheered in major cities across the country with signs saying "Great victory for the Chinese nation!" and "Long live President Wu Aihua!"

Wu Aihua was secretly laughing in his presidential palace, because the merit points of the merit system were rapidly increasing. According to this speed, he could get 200 million merit points every month! 200 million, not 200 points, converted into the most advanced combat aircraft, but 5000.

To be honest, Japan's agreement to withdraw its troops from the Northeast was beyond Wu Aihua's expectations.From Wu Aihua's point of view, the Japanese must fight no matter what. Who would have thought that the Japanese would have the determination to cut off their wrists like a strong man.It can also be seen from this that the Japanese are willing to withdraw their troops readily, and the picture is not small!

However, the ensuing negotiations were very difficult.One is the timetable for troop withdrawal. The Japanese asked China to give one year, but China only agreed to give it one month. If people leave, things have to stay, but Japan resolutely refuses to do so, saying that if that happens, Japan will not hesitate to fight.There was a big difference between the two sides on this matter. After half a month of negotiation, Wu Aihua still came up with a plan: for all Japanese-owned factories and mining equipment in the Northeast, the Chinese side will compensate Huaxia Yuan at 50.00% of the actual value.The Japanese thought about it, and this is a good ending, because if China insists on not dismantling any equipment, the Japanese can't do anything about it. It is also the Japanese's unwillingness to really make trouble to the extent of fighting.

However, the factory and mining equipment have given money, but the factory buildings, railways, highways, airports, docks, and any other non-machine equipment and facilities must not be damaged by the Japanese and must be handed over to China in their entirety.

The Japanese agreed with China's proposition, but in the end, the Japanese said that they don't want money, they want things, and they want materials, especially arms and steel.

"I don't give you steel, but I will give you other things." Wu Aihua was also very straightforward. The Japanese want things, but it's not that they don't give money.Although the things exported to Japan are relatively advanced, as long as China keeps the best things, there is no need to worry about the Japanese turning the world upside down.

The issue of Northeast China was finally settled so that China could obtain a complete Northeast, but China had to pay Japan a considerable amount of ransom. These ransoms were paid to Japan in the form of arms, machinery and equipment, coal and other materials.From an economic point of view, Japan has suffered very little loss, and although China has paid a ransom worth as much as 48 billion Chinese yuan, it has obtained the production capacity of the Northeast, which is not a loss. In fact, this is a "win-win" result .

Oddly enough, both Chinese and Japanese negotiators were honored internally by their respective governments when the negotiations ended.

The agreement signed by the two parties stipulated that representatives of the Chinese government began to send representatives to accept the Northeast from July 1941, 7. The Japanese first handed over various files and public security rights to China; All evacuated from the Northeast. Of course, legally operating Japanese businessmen can stay in the Northeast to do business freely, but they must abide by relevant Chinese laws and regulations like other foreign capital.

(Perhaps some people feel that they should fight Japan, hehe, Japan will have a decisive battle at the end, but not now.)
