During this period, like the historical trend, the internal policy of invasion of China has also undergone major changes.
*** The people have been fooled recently as if they were riding a roller coaster, and their hearts are rising and falling, but they have suffered a serious crime.
Just when everyone was paying attention to the record of the Imperial Army on the front line of Wuhan, the Eighth Route Army suddenly took action in Shandong and captured Jinan. The Imperial Army of three divisions and two garrisons were broken, and five lieutenant generals were captured. It was particularly annoying.
Yes, the Eighth Route Army also spread its achievements everywhere, for fear that people all over the world would not know, which made the envoys abroad bend their waists deeper when they saw the guests. They bent their waists deeper when they bowed. There are borrowing them in taverns on the streets of Tokyo every day.
People who drink sorrow and drunkards are drunk and pestering passers-by to cause trouble. For a time, public security cases in major cities rose sharply.
After the news of capturing Wuhan and Guangzhou came, all cities in China fell into carnival. In the words of the Asahi Shimbun and other media, it was "national ecstasy". Newspapers and radio stations reported on the Imperial Army's Hehe in succession.
For military achievements, the people will automatically go to the streets to hold flags and lanterns, and the streets will be filled with long live sounds.
Unfortunately, the cheers did not last long, and the people of *** were stunned by the news that the Eighth Route Army tried to hear the public trial of Gusuo and Guan Guizhi. Although the *** government and military departments tried their best to think about the news, Gusuo Gusuo was executed by Lingchi.
The shrill cry sounded in my ears, just like the cold wind in Hokkaido in winter, everywhere, how could I ***!
***The islands suddenly fell silent.
Fortunately, within a few days, the news came that the plane Liu Yimin, the Chinese war god who was Lieutenant General Lingchi Gu Shoufu, was destroyed, followed by the news that Liu Yimin was shot dead. Now, the country was once again crazy, from the city to
In the countryside, except for holding flags and lanterns, many families hung soul-summoning banners at their doorsteps, which meant to tell them that the relatives who died in China had died in battle that the Great *** Imperial Army avenged them!
Unexpectedly, the excitement lasted too short. In just one day, news came that Liu Yimin was not dead. The Chinese National Government also announced that the three major**s, including Takagichizo, Shimoto Kamaya and Kamagashitaro, were announced in Chongqing.
*The Army Lieutenant General, and the public trial was also very short, and the public trial was announced to be over within three days. The three Japanese lieutenant generals and Gu Shoufu, Guan Guizhi, were also charged with hanging in Chongqing.
At this time, no matter how arrogant the warlords are, they have to think deeply about the future of the war against China.
Lu Xiangshan Shanyuan was in a very bad mood recently, and the reason was very simple. When he met Jin in the palace several times, the emperor's eyes became colder and colder when he saw him, and he satirized his argument for the destruction of China in three months several times. That posture was clearly prepared to do so.
He used it as a scapegoat for the failure of the war against North China.
When he returned home in the evening, the wife had already asked the servants to prepare the wine and drinks and accompany Shan Shanyuan for a drink.
Shanshanyuan's beloved daughter Shanshan Yunzi was locked up at home for a long time since she was taught a lesson by her father last time. It was not until she understood her father's painstaking efforts that Shanshanyuan allowed her to do it.
While Shan Shanyuan was drinking, Shan Shan Yunzi also went home. Shan Shanyuan asked her daughter what she was doing today?
Yunzi told her father that she went to the palace with the daughters of several ministers to meet the Queen Liangzi today.
Shan Shanyuan immediately asked his daughter, Queen Liang, if she was in a good mood? Are she kind to Yunzi?
Yunzi said shyly: "I dare not look up at His Majesty the Queen's face, but when I was drinking tea, His Majesty the Queen specially ordered the female official to bring her some refreshments and praised Yunzi's beauty."
When Shan Shanyuan heard this, his depressed mood improved slightly and asked his daughter to have dinner together.
Shanshan Yunzi is the pearl in Shanshanyuan's hand. She loves it like a treasure. When her father asked her to have dinner together, she went to change the dress of His Majesty Jinjian, put on the kimono she usually wore at home, and accompanied her parents to have dinner.
As they ate, Shanshan Yunzi said that after they met the Queen, they went to do Buddhist rituals and pray for the jade-breaking warriors. There were many people doing Buddhist rituals. I heard from the masters of the temple that in addition to the jade-breaking warriors
In addition to praying for blessings, more people are trying to bless their relatives to come back safely.
Yunzi's words made Shanshanyuan sigh in his heart. It seems that not only Emperor Hirohito, but Prime Minister Fumima Koewe had the intention of changing his courses, and the people also began to feel war-weary. This is too terrible!
After all, Shanshan Yunzi is a ignorant girl. How can you tell the thoughts of her cunning father? It is said that several ladies from the ministers said that they were willing to serve the Greater East Asian holy war, and that Yunzi is so beautiful.
If he could meet the Chinese war god Liu Yimin, he might be fascinated by him and make him surrender to the Great *** Empire obediently.
When she said this, Shanshan Yunzi looked shy, as if Liu Yimin was right in front of her face. This made Shanshanyuan furious again, scolding her daughter for not knowing the dangers of the battlefield, and just saying something about the child.
Liu Yimin had a green face and fangs, just like the hungry ghosts painted in books. How could he be worthy of Miss Yunzi from the noble Shanshan family? If he had such an inexplicable idea, he would continue to be confined.
Yunzi was so scared that he never dared to talk too much again. The family of three finished the meal without saying a word.
Early the next morning, Shan Shanyuan entered the palace to attend the imperial meeting.
This imperial meeting is about studying strategic issues towards China.
Lu Xiangshan Shanyuan spoke first. This old Japanese man, holding a stack of manuscript paper, reported in detail the achievements made by the army since the war began.
Shanshanyuan did not say nonsense, basically reported truthfully. According to his statement, starting from Baotou in the north and ending in Guangzhou in the south, the Japanese army had occupied a vast area east of China's Yellow River and east of Hepinghan Road to the north. The Chiang Kai-shek government was forced to
After moving in Chongqing, China's big cities and the richest areas were occupied by the Imperial Army. In North China and central China, regimes were established to assist the Imperial Army in combat, and the Imperial Army with certain combat effectiveness were formed.
In terms of war damage, since it was a meeting of the imperial front, there was no need to hide it, and Shanshanyuan also reported it truthfully. According to him, since the war started, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, including the navy and more than 100 ships, including two aircraft carriers, and the army and navy suffered losses.
1,500 aircraft, the army lost chariots, nearly 3,000 cars, and hundreds of thousands of weapons. The army suffered 650,000 casualties, including 300,000 casualties in the North China battlefield and 350,000 casualties in the Central China battlefield. Just look at the number of casualties, the North China battlefield
Smaller than the battlefield in Central China, but in fact, the losses in the battlefield in North China are much greater than those in Central China. The reason is that the number of injuries in Central China far exceeds the number of deaths in battle, and many wounded soldiers can return to the battlefield. On the contrary, the number of deaths in North China is much greater than that in North China
The number of injuries is disproportionate. The fundamental reason is that there is a Eighth Route Army led by the Nazi battlefield in North China. This unit is extremely tenacious in combat. The number of casualties in the North China battlefield was mainly caused by them, especially the Eighth Route Army Liu Yimin's unit and the Imperial Army.
The whole brigade was broken, all of which were written by Liu Yimin's army. Moreover, the two lieutenant generals who committed suicide by cesarean section of the Great *** Army, five lieutenant generals who were captured and executed, and four lieutenant generals who died in battle were all
It was a mass general who was attacked by Liu Yimin's troops and countless major generals were killed by Liu Yimin's troops.
Next, Shanshanyuan reported the problems in the current combat against China. One is the shortage of troops. From the front line of 4,000 kilometers from north to south, the current military strength of the Great*** Army seems very weak, and most areas reach one square kilometer.
Less than one Imperial Army soldier is stationed. The result is that the Imperial Army fought against Chiang Kai-shek's government troops on a long front and controlled the points and lines. *** Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are developing wantonly in the occupied areas of the Imperial Army, constantly attacking, attacking and destroying
, turning the occupied areas into a paradise for them to expand their armed forces and base areas. Second, the quality of officers and soldiers decreased. At the beginning of the war, officers at the Imperial Army Non-commissioned Officer level and above all graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, with high military qualities and command skills. With the troops
The expansion and war reductions in personnel are largely reduced, and the standard learning period for non-commissioned officers has been reduced from four years to one and a half years. This cannot meet the needs of war, and grassroots officers have to be selected from soldiers, resulting in a downward trend in the command capacity of grassroots troops. The situation of soldiers is even more
Oops. At the beginning of the war, more than 90% of the soldiers were active and reserve young men in their 20s, strong and specially trained. However, as the troops suffered too many casualties, they had to expand the army and supplement the troops. New soldiers often only went through 3
The military training was strengthened in the month. This situation was not only reflected in the supplementary system of the permanent divisions and special divisions, but more importantly, it was reflected in the newly formed security division. Liu Yimin, the commander of the 8th Route of China, publicly declared that
The Imperial Army Police Division is a new recruit and a garbage force. Now, among the divisions of the Great *** Army, active soldiers account for only 11.3%, reserve soldiers account for 22.6%, reserve soldiers account for 45.2%, and supplementary soldiers account for 20.9%.
.This military structure has led to a gradual decline in the military quality of officers and soldiers, seriously affecting their combat effectiveness. The third is the difficulty in replenishing weapons, equipment, ammunition, food and grass. The most fundamental reason why the North China Front Army has been slow to launch an attack on the teacher Liu Yimin in Shandong is that the supply cannot keep up.
.Because Liu Yimin's troops successively attacked Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang and Jinan, it was equivalent to evacuating all the weapons and ammunition reserves of the North China Front Army. Last time, the 700,000 army encircled Shandong, and the supplies were transported from the local, Manchuria and Central China.
.Now, the North China Front Army has no money, no food, and no enough weapons and ammunition, so it can only barely maintain defense and cannot launch a large and continuous offensive operation. Although I have thought of many ways to urgently transfer from the local government and Manchuria to North China, I still
It is far from meeting the need to be able to fight continuously.
After Shanshanyuan finished reporting, Emperor Hirohito's eyes kept sweeping around Shanshanyuan's face, which made Shanshanyuan have to lower his head and say in a silence.
What Shanshanyuan didn't expect was that Emperor Hirohito actually said coldly: "As the prime minister of the country, he promised me that he had three months to destroy China at the beginning of the war. Now that a year and a half have passed, my dear will report to me again with confidence.
How heavy is the loss? How can I bear it? Fortunately, my dear finally made some progress and I know how to tell the truth."
Shan Shanyuan was sweating coldly, and the beads of sweat fell on the floor of Songzhi Pavilion, making a ticking sound, which made the hearts of those who attended the imperial meeting in the room tremble.
If it were on someone who was a little bloody, the Emperor would have disliked him so much and ridiculed him, and would have long since quit.
Shanshanyuan was not without blood. If he had no blood, he would not have been wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Hirohito in launching a war of aggression against China. He was just reluctant to leave his position as the mainland minister.
Emperor Hirohito's forehead jumped straight, his cold eyes stared at Shan Shanyuan's face, and continued: "Is there any plan for Lu's next battle?"
Shan Shanyuan felt relieved and felt that he had finally passed the hurdle. He immediately reported: "Your Majesty, according to the actual situation of the war against China, I think we should step up the pursuit of Chiang Kai-shek's main force, force him to surrender or completely eliminate him. Then go back
The division cleared out the Eighth Route Army in North China."
Before Shanshanyuan finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito slapped his hand and began to angrily scold: "Silly! Extremely stupid! Until now, can't you see clearly that the Eighth Route Army has become the key factor restricting the Greater East Asian holy war.
?The blind pursuit of Chiang Kai-shek's government troops led to the Eighth Route Army gradually growing in the occupied areas, allowing them to occupy Shandong and basically control Shanxi. Even Suiyuan and Chahar had the bases of the Eighth Route Army. Their
The troops even entered South Manchuria. As the Minister of Land, you have an unshirkable responsibility for today's battle situation!"
Shan Shanyuan did not expect that a disagreement would lead to the emperor's reprimand becoming more severe. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again, saying quietly, "I am guilty, I am afraid!"
Emperor Hirohito looked at Shan Shanyuan with a little disgust, and his tone became colder and colder: "It's all a bunch of people, you are, and Soichi Tezuka. After analyzing one by one, it's a mess when fighting a war. Three armies,
He actually sat there and watched Liu Yimin stay freely in Shandong. I was scared to death when I saw the temple. General Shanshanyuan, you don’t have to be the prime minister. Go to North China to serve as the commander of the North China Front Army and exchange the unlucky temple for Shouyi.
.This time, I want to see if General Shanshanyuan, who is bravely chasing and quick-deciding, can eliminate Liu Yizhao's power in one fell swoop and restore public order in Shandong."
Shanshanyuan was already stupid. He never dreamed that Emperor Hirohito not only dismissed him from his post as Minister of Land, but also kicked him to North China to fight against Liu Yimin. He knelt there without saying a word, his whole body trembling, and he didn't know
Are you angry or scared?
Fumima Konoe knew that Emperor Hirohito must punish Shanshanyuan and Teruchi Toshiki today, which was also his opinion. Who asked Shanshanyuanyuan and Teruchi Toshiki to join forces to confront him in front of the emperor last time? But at this time
Wenmo still needs to have an attitude, otherwise he would offend the Army. It is difficult to say whether the Prime Minister of the Cabinet can continue to do it. You must know that if the Army insists on not sending the Prime Minister of the Land, the Cabinet will have to resign.
Komebuki's thin face was calm and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu worked diligently during his tenure and worked hard for the Sino-Japanese war. Although he did not achieve the goal of destroying China for three months, he occupied North China after all.
, Central China, the vast area of ​​South China, also captured Nanjing, the capital of China, and made an indelible contribution! The main reason why the war in North China made major mistakes and caused major losses is that the army was not familiar with the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, which made the Eighth Route Army
Take advantage of the loophole. I beg Your Majesty to think twice, and the cabinet must not be free from the mainland minister for a day!"
Koewe Fumima's evaluation of Shanshanyuan was quite pertinent. Shanshanyuan felt a little hot and almost burst into tears.
Emperor Hirohito didn't want to slap Shanshanyuan to death with one palm. To be honest, he really couldn't live without Shanshanyuan and Prince Zairen of the Immortal Court. He just failed in a row to fight the Eighth Route Army and five lieutenant generals.
He was tried in public, and the brokenness of so many troops made him lose face in front of friendly countries. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to use Shanshanyuan as a scapegoat. Otherwise, he would not have changed his generals during the war.
Shan Shanyuan went to replace Shouyi, who was familiar with the Eighth Route Army.
Emperor Hirohito waved his hand and stopped Fumima Kome. He eased his tone. Emperor Hirohito said, "Isn't he punished anything if he didn't become a prime minister? The North China Front Army had a great combat mission, and Teraunuchi did not have any after he returned to office.
It is necessary to make adjustments. As for Prime Minister Lu, General Hata Shunji, the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, can serve as the sixth general. My original intention was to let him come back to serve as the military senator or my guard commander, so let him serve as Prime Minister Lu now!
”
This was originally made by Kobe Fumima and Emperor Hirohito, so I finished singing a double act.
The main reason for such personnel changes is that Emperor Hirohito, Fumima Konoe, and Prince Saihito of the Immortal Palace all saw clearly that the war of aggression against China was a mud pit, and we had to change the strategy of the ***.
Kai Shanyuan, Shouichi, and Shunji Hata, three giants in the army who advocated a quick battle to avoid their opposition.
In fact, Suichi Teruchi and Shunroku Hata have seen that it is impossible to win the war against China quickly. Suichi Teruchi also sent a secret report to the emperor, stating that *** was equally important in military affairs, inducing Chiang Kai-shek to surrender, focusing on the Eighth Route Army, and with the Emperor and the Guards.
The idea should be consistent. It can also be said that Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Konoha came from the secret report of Soichi Temple. I just don’t know if Fumima Konoha wants to revenge Soichi Temple or the Emperor wants to protect Soichi Temple, but he actually urinated
In the slap in the pot, I thought of using Shan Shanyuan to replace Soichi Shizuka.
At this time, Shan Shanyuan had to kowtow in shame and thank him, preparing to go back to hand over the work after the imperial meeting.
Konoe Fumima began to report.
According to statistics from Fumimo Konoe, since the war started, in addition to the original Army and Navy arsenal, two military supplies mobilizations have been carried out, and a total of 4,000 private factories have been mobilized to produce military supplies, but none of them have met the needs of the military. Especially in the North China warfare, especially in the North China war.
, Losing Judas is no longer a supplementary issue. After every war, it is equivalent to rebuilding troops, from military uniforms to weapons, ammunition, vehicles and equipment, and war horses, all have to be re-equipped. By the end of the Wuhan Battle, the entire military expenditure reached 13 billion.
The surprising height of the RMB. Of the 13 billion yuan, 60% comes from the issuance of government bonds. The huge war consumption has damaged the domestic economy. At present, the total import and export volume has decreased, gold reserves have decreased, electricity is insufficient, and grain production has been reduced.
What is terrible is that due to the abnormal development of military industry, prices have been increased and inflation have been stimulated.
In response to this situation, Konoe Fumimo reported: "The cabinet unanimously agreed that the greatest achievement of the Battle of Wuhan was to transform Chiang Kai-shek's National Government from the Chinese central government to the local government; the rise of the Eighth Route Army seriously affected the smooth operation against China.
Carry out; the strategy of quick battle and quick decision has failed, and China cannot be conquered by force alone!”
Emperor Hirohito asked: "Prime Minister, since the cabinet has reached a conclusion, are there any good plans?"
At this time, Fumima Konomi finally showed his trump card. He said confidently: "Your Majesty, after research by the cabinet, he believes that in the future, the strategy must be changed. Transform a simple military offense into an offensive.
The main, military strikes are the auxiliary. In terms of the offensive, there are two strategies. One is to induce the first-class Chinese figures to form a central government that is appealing and willing to cooperate with the Great *** Empire, ***, and anti-Chengdu, in
The National Government, which isolated Chiang Kai-shek internationally, prompted the Chiang Kai-shek government to surrender or collapse and achieve a peaceful solution to the war against China. Another is to change the tough stance of not using Chiang Kai-shek's government as its negotiating opponent in the past, lure Chiang Kai-shek and use the banner of *** to promote Chiang Kai-shek.
Negotiate with us. The overall strategy is to use China to control China, divide and disintegrate China's anti-Japanese front, and prompt the Sino-Japanese War to be on the track of resolution. In terms of military strikes, in central China, South China took a defensive battle against Chiang Kai-shek's National Government Army.
Taking the principle of conservative occupation of land, we will concentrate our efforts to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China and the New Fourth Army in Central China, carry out large-scale security operations in North China, and eliminate the power of the *** Army in North China. The ideal result is to form a large *** Army and Chiang Kai-shek's troops.
, Yan Xishan's troops joined forces to attack the *** troops."
Emperor Hirohito's eyes shined, and immediately instructed Koebe Fumima to announce the goodwill of the *** government to the world, instructing the Chief of Staff Prince Miya Saihito to be responsible, and formulated the guidance on combat against China in accordance with the new strategic guidelines.
Deliver the front line troops to carry out the execution.
After the imperial meeting ended, it was more than 20 days later than the second declaration of the Kouwei in history. Prime Minister Kouwei Wenmo issued the second statement. The full text is as follows:
"Now with the might of Your Majesty, the Imperial Army and Navy have conquered Guangdong Prefecture and Wuhan Three Towns to pacify important areas of China. The National Government is only one local regime. However, if the government insists on the anti-Japanese policy of tolerance for the Communist Party, the Empire will never withdraw its troops.
Fight until it crashes.
The empire's desire to build a new order to ensure permanent peace in East Asia. This is also the final purpose of this war.
The construction of such a new order should be based on the cooperation between Japan, Manchuria and China, and the establishment of chain mutual assistance in all aspects such as ***, economy, culture, etc. It is hoped that the international *** will be established in East Asia, the joint prevention and control of the Communist Party and the creation of a new culture
, achieve economic integration. This is the method that helps East Asia stabilize and promotes world progress.
What the Empire hopes for China is to share the responsibility of building a new order in East Asia. The Empire hopes that the Chinese people are good at understanding our true meaning and are willing to cooperate with the Empire. Of course, if the National Government abandons its previous consistent policies, replaces personnel organizations, and achieves a new life.
We do not refuse the results of participation in the construction of the new order.
The empire is convinced that all countries will correctly understand the empire's intentions and adapt to the new situation in East Asia. In particular, they are deeply satisfied with the consistent friendship between the allies.
The construction of the new East Asian order originates from our country's founding spirit. Complete this construction is a glorious task for the modern people. The empire must resolutely carry out necessary innovations in all aspects of the country to expand the overall strength of the country and overcome all difficulties.
, move forward to accomplish this cause.
Chapter completed!
