563 We Can Be Bought

March 1931. Tokyo, Japan.

The cherry blossoms in Ueno Park ushered in a brief and brilliant bloom, submerging the largest park in Tokyo, covering an area of ​​525,000 square meters, in a sea of ​​light pink flowers. Spring took a slight step and slowly walked into the red Japanese field. The dry branches spit out tender green leaves, trembling with the chilly spring breeze. Tokyo citizens on the streets and alleys took off their heavy winter clothes and changed into new kimonos. They were busy under the spring sunshine, but if you look closely, you will find that the colors of these kimonos are extremely monotonous, with only ugly yellowish yellow and gray...

"The splendor of Soviet Japan will probably be as beautiful and brilliant as this cherry blossom?" Takeda Yuki looked at the sea of ​​flowers in Ueno Park for a while, and suddenly sighed again: "Comrade Trotsky's overall plan to liberate all mankind has been formulated, code-named the Paris Commune Plan. The tasks arranged for us Soviet Japan are quite heavy. It is time for us to formulate our combat plan according to the requirements of the Paris Commune Plan. In addition, Comrade Trotsky believes that the proletarian army should have unified command and establish a world-wide proletarian headquarters..."

The Paris Commune was the world's first proletarian regime, and Trotsky used it to name his plan to liberate all mankind. As the second in the GC-cist camp, Soviet Japan naturally had to fulfill its due obligations. However, Trotsky's requirements were very high, almost overdrawing Japan's national strength to the limit, and also proposed the idea of ​​forming a World Revolutionary General Command to unify the command of the Soviet Union, Japan, Poland, Persia and other ** teams.

Takeda Yuki and Muto Nobuyoshi walked slowly on the mountain road, and after more than ten steps behind them, more than a dozen cadres of the Japanese Central Security Bureau followed silently.

"Nobuyuki (referring to Takeda Hiroshi). Have you noticed that Japan is really monotonous now." Muto's Nobuyuki crouched his hands in his wide kimono, and said with a hint of emotion: "I don't know when the colorful Japan in the past will be reproduced?"

Takeda Hiroshi of course noticed that the clothes of tourists entering and leaving the park are all the same gray or yellow kimono, which are the national clothes advocated by the Japanese Soviet government. The reason for this is not that Takeda Hiroshi's aesthetic view is problematic, but that the living materials in Japan are too scarce, and can only supply the most basic needs of the people.

In recent years, the Japanese Soviet government has achieved high growth in heavy industry, steel, oil (Huata Island Oilfield), coal, shipbuilding, chemical and other industries at all costs, but the light industry that can be used to improve people's lives has been declining due to lack of investment and poor management. Moreover, the development of agriculture is also unsatisfactory. Although Japan did not follow the example of the Soviet Union to engage in agricultural collectivization in China, due to the lack of sufficient light industrial products to exchange with farmers, farmers are not willing to exchange the grain that has been planted hard for use in exchange for useless banknotes. Therefore, the sowing area of ​​grain has continued to shrink, and the public grain handed over has also decreased year by year. Now, in order to prepare for the war, the Japanese Soviet government has had to use extremely valuable foreign exchange to import a batch of wheat from the United States.

However, what worries the Japanese senior executives such as Takeda Hiroshi were the most worried that the Japanese Red Army officers also began to complain about the dull and boring life in Japan at the moment. Many people began to miss the pre-revolutionary period, especially the good times before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, which is a very dangerous signal!

"My father, the difficulties now are only temporary, and the price that must be paid for Japan's bright future. When we conquer Nanyang and Australia and New Zealand, everything will be fine. My father, let us work hard for a prosperous and powerful new Japan together."

Takeda's tone was extremely sincere. He and Japan had long been tied to Trotsky's GC chariot. Japan's annual steel production capacity is as high as 6.5 million tons. After seven years of rapid expansion, the scale of the Japanese Navy has also expanded greatly. It already has 455 warships with a total tonnage of more than 1.4 million tons (including aircraft carriers under construction). The Japanese Army has also expanded on a large scale since last year. The total strength has exceeded 1.2 million, and more than 800,000 new recruits are undergoing training. It has even formed a tank equivalent to the Soviet tank army.

The division! However, the consequences of developing heavy industry and expanding the army without regard to national strength are also very serious. Due to the heavy pressure of heavy industry construction costs, the government's fiscal deficit has been soaring again and again. The supply of consumer goods and agricultural products is extremely scarce, and residents' rationing is reduced again and again. The banknotes in the hands of the people's hands are simply a pile of waste paper, and the people are suffering. Although the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs has strongly suppressed them, dissatisfied remarks continue to emerge, and recently, even the hearts of the people within the army have begun to float.

But everyone knows that as soon as the world war breaks out, the Japanese Red Army begins to march towards the South China Sea and the mainland, all dissatisfaction will disappear, and all the Japanese will unite and unite around the Soviet government, and take the red flag to continue the cause of Japanese militarism.

"Ninyuki, I understand your thoughts. Now that Japan is on the verge of war, the entire army and I will support you. But..." Although Muto Nobuyoshi wanted to speak, his solemn expression revealed his true thoughts. Japan had to fight in this war. There was no way out if he didn't fight Japan's GCD, the Japanese army and the navy had no way out, and all Japanese citizens had no way out. If they didn't want to be trapped on these small islands with scarce resources, they had to fight! But military issues could never be solved wishfully. Although Japan had prepared for war at all costs over the years, the combat power it had now was still very limited. It might be okay to deal with a quick battle. If the war turned into a protracted war, Japan would not be able to support it at all.

Two girls with red scarves tied around their necks walked towards the path with their hands holding hands. The white and tender little faces were filled with a happy smile. Seeing Takeda Yukichi and Muto Nobuyoshi, they gave the Young Pioneers ceremony to them from afar. Japan is now a Soviet country, and all children aged 6 to 14 years old must participate in the Japanese GCism Youth League. Youth over 14 can participate in the Japanese GCism Youth League, and over 16 can participate in the Japanese GCD. However, not any Japanese Young Pioneers can "meet" people like Takeda Yukichi and Muto Nobuyoshi. These girls with the "captain" mark on their arms must be specially arranged by cadres of the Central Security Bureau.

After saluting, the two little girls performed traditional Japanese bows again, then took a step and lowered their heads and walked away quickly. Takeda Hiroshi was not sure if he remembered his son who was far away in the Soviet Union. Looking at the two cute little girls, he sighed. Muto's voice sounded behind him: "In order to build Japan's heavy industry, many such girls have been sacrificed. Now the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs began to call on them to be military prostitutes, and the world revolution will be victorious in the future. Let's erect a monument for Japanese girls in Ueno Park."

Takeda Yuki smiled bitterly, how can he erect a monument for such a shameful thing? There will be no record of a word in the history books in the future. Of course, the premise is that the world revolution can be successful...

"My father, as long as you can win, these sacrifices are worth it." Takeda Yuki's eyes chased the backs of the two girls: "Now the horn of the world revolution is about to sound. It is when we use our courage to open up living space for future generations, we should not care about these small costs. Mr. father, you are the most outstanding military strategist in Japan. You can only bear the work of formulating an overall combat plan, leading and commanding East Asia, and the Nanyang warfare."

Muto's eyes turned to his son-in-law. He frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he nodded heavily: "Since you believe in me, the old man, then I can take on this task. But I have a condition. Japan's national strength is limited and must be used with caution. The Russians cannot consume us as worthless cannon fodder! In other words, Japan's overall combat plan must not be formulated according to the requirements of the Russians, and Trotsky cannot be allowed to command our army uniformly. Nobuyuki, can you agree with these conditions of mine?"

Muto Nobuyoshi finally agreed to lead the wartime commander-in-chief of the Great Japanese Red Army. Takeda Yuki breathed a lightly tone. He also disagreed with the inclusion of the Japanese Red Army under the unified command of the Soviet Union. Although Trotsky made a request, his tone was not firm, and there was obviously room for maneuver. However, since joint operations were jointly fought, a certain degree of cooperation and coordination was still necessary.

"I think we may have misunderstood Comrade Trotsky..." Takeda Yuki said carefully: "He should mean that Su Ribo should cooperate with the cooperation of combat, not that we should hand over the command of the Japanese Red Army. Of course, there is nothing wrong with establishing a nominal Red Army General Command with Comrade Trotsky as the nominal commander-in-chief. After all, our enemies are very strong and we must use our strength most reasonably to achieve the final victory."

Muto Nobuyoshi did not answer immediately, and Takeda's words also made some sense. The enemy of the world revolution is the entire capitalist camp, including Britain, the United States, China, Germany and France, which are industrial and military powers, and their overall strength is far greater than that of Su Ribo and other countries. However, their weakness is that they fight on their own and do not have unified command and cooperation. If Su Ribo is the same as them, then the final victory may still belong to the strong capitalist camp.

"Coordination is necessary, but even among allies, we have to bargain. No matter what the Soviets say, we will recruit unconditionally."

Muto Nobuyi replied after being silent for a long time.

"Okay, I will send Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo to Moscow to negotiate with Trotsky." Takeda Yuki said, and he also proposed to let Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo go to Moscow. The spy leader had been staying on the throne of the People's Commissar of the Internal Affairs for a long time. It was time for him to move a nest and finally stay in Trotsky's proletarian headquarters as a nominal deputy commander...

"Let Yasuo Yasuo Yasuda go to Moscow?" Muto Nobuyoshi was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "After all, he is not in military affairs, is it appropriate to let him go to Moscow?"

Takeda Yuki pursed his lips and was silent for a while before saying: "It is better not to be able to operate military affairs. We can command remotely through telegrams."

"Nobuyuki, do you don't believe in Yasuda anymore? If that's the case, it's better..." Muto whispered tentatively.

"No," Takeda Yuki shook his head, "Comrade Yasuda can believe it. Let him go to Moscow to work for a few years. When the revolution is victorious, he can also come back to be the vice chairman of the People's Committee. He has this talent."

Muto Nobuyi nodded silently. The matter between Takeda and Yasuda was a power struggle between the top leaders of the Japanese G. Wuto Nobuyi didn't know much about it and didn't want to participate.

"My father." Takeda Yuki turned the topic back to military affairs. "Comrade Trotsky asked us to launch an attack on North Korea and Dutch East India and Borneo at the same time. Do you think we can complete this task?"

Muto Nobuyi walked slowly along the path with his hands behind his back, and Takeda Yuki immediately followed him. Muto looked at the large area of ​​blooming cherry blossoms in front of him and sighed: "The task is too heavy... and we are doing it a little early."

The Paris Commune plans to plan for East Asia and the Nanyang part of the general outline was sent to the Japanese Revolutionary Military Commission on March 1, 1931. Takeda Yukishi Muto Nobuyoshi, Masaki Shisaburo and others have already read the copy.

"Comrade Trotsky's vision was to attract the main force of the British naval force to the South Ocean. This was the key to the victory of the revolution in Europe, the Middle East, India and North Africa."

"Xinheng, according to Trotsky's arrangement, we are under too much pressure. We are not able to make ends meet and we need to face the Chinese army and the British navy at the same time. The battlefield is too great, from North Korea to Singapore. And after we received six Soviet battleships, Britain and China have been vigilant. The number of main ships of the British Far East Fleet has reached six, and the Chinese Navy also has six main ships. The two have added up to ten main ships of the Navy.

So we cannot go to war with both China and Britain at the same time. It is best not to provoke both of them, and only seize most of the Dutch East India, but not to touch Sumatra. In the process of seizing Dutch East India, the British will definitely intervene, but based on my understanding of the British Empire, they will not choose to go to war easily, but will take deterrent measures to force us to make concessions. The specific deterrence method is likely to be to mobilize the main force of the British Navy to Singapore."

Takeda Hesitated for a moment. The adjustment was too large, and Trotsky might be difficult to accept. Muto Nobuyi saw his hesitation and asked in a sneer: "What? Didn't you just say that you would send Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo to Moscow to negotiate with Trotsky? Now you dare not bargain with Trotsky?"

"It is very dangerous to capture the Dutch East India under the eyes of the British Far East Fleet and the Chinese Navy, Dad." Takeda Yuki said, "And the oil in the South Ocean is concentrated in Sumatra and Brunei, the British territory of Borneo. If we do not seize it, we may not be able to get enough oil to maintain the war."

Muto Nobuyi smiled silently: "The oil in Borneo and Sumatra is far-reaching and cannot relieve near-thirst thirst. If you want to solve the oil supply in wartime, the most effective way is to increase your reserves. The Soviet Union is the world's second largest oil-producing country, and Persia's oil production is also very high. Let Trotsky provide us with 10 million tons of oil by the end of June next year... We have now reserved 6 million tons of oil, and the Huatai Island oil field can produce 8.9 million tons per year. Japan's annual oil consumption during the war is estimated to be around 4 or 5 million tons. As long as 10 million tons of reserves is enough for us to maintain a few years of war."

"With that being said, the oil from Brunei and Sumatra will still be seized, and there is no way for us to avoid the war with China and Britain."

"The food has to be eaten at a time, and the battle has to be fought. The territory of the Dutch East India is quite large and cannot be swallowed in less than three or five months. Moreover, there is a Philippines between the Dutch East India and Japan... and the Chinese are eyeing it behind us. If we start a war with China and Britain, our logistics transportation line may not be able to be maintained. The Chinese have at least hundreds of submarines and six 25,000-ton battle cruisers. Although they cannot defeat our "Akagi", "Kaga", and "Tosau", they are still more than enough to break the trade. According to intelligence, the speed of these six battle cruisers is faster than all our main battleships!"

Takeda Yuki thought for a moment and nodded to admit that Muto's encouragement made sense. It was probably the old man had already won the opinions of the navy. Soviet military experts were invincible in the world in fighting land wars, but they did not understand naval wars. They only knew that 10 Japanese main battleships were stronger than 6 Chinese main battleships, but they did not expect that the Chinese could break the Japanese transportation lines at sea with higher speeds.

"But if we don't provoke China on our own initiative, they will watch us swallow the Dutch East India in one bite?" Takeda Yuki said in confusion.

Muto Nobuyi nodded slightly and sighed softly, "Yes, because for the Chinese, it is good to be able to participate in the war one day later. They placed orders of at least one billion US dollars in the United States and ordered a large number of machinery and equipment. Before these things are shipped to China, they will definitely find ways to avoid the war."

Takeda Yuki was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said in a voice: "But let the Chinese get these machines and equipment, will it be even more difficult for us to defeat them in the future?"

"Who said we must defeat China?" A hint of sarcasm appeared on Muto's lips, and he whispered: "Borrowing has always been part of the war strategy! And we, Soviet Japan, are the objects that can be bought!" (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read.)
