For this reason, the Japanese military headquarters had to send a special envoy to Xinjing to guide the work. As soon as he arrived in Xinjing, he immediately convened a joint working meeting on the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-Japanese War in Kanto. Beihu was also invited
among others. This was his first time attending a similar meeting.
Kitaora attended the meeting as always, without any sense of restraint. This made Nanjiro very fond of him. He was a promising young talent who was not frightened by favors and humiliations, and had a deeper background than Kurosaki.
Beihu sat in the seat and kept his ears open from the beginning to the end without saying a word. He listened intently to everyone's speeches because most of the speeches were directed at the recent section of the secret service.
Time has passed since the condemnation of poor work.
Because the Northern Tiger came relatively late, everyone is not very familiar with it, and there is relatively little blame. However, there are still a lot of condemnations for the recent appeasement actions in Northeast China, which have had little effect.
Of course, the most common criticisms were that the intelligence collection of the secret service was too slow, or that the efficiency was too low. These accusations made Kurosaki sweat profusely and restless.
Nanjiro didn't leave Beihu idle, he suddenly called Beihu's name,
"Tomita-kun, what do you think of the situation in Northeast China? Do you have any good suggestions for the future strategic direction of the Kwantung Army?"
Beihu's brain didn't react to the sudden question, and he was stunned for a while. But he stood up immediately and answered at attention that he still wanted to protect Hei Qi. After all, he was still in Beihu.
It would be easier. If it were someone else, the situation might not be what it would be.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I feel very sudden about your question just now. Logically speaking, I have no right to speak here, because I came very late after all, and I don't know many things. If I am wrong, please forgive me.
Forgive me."
Beihu paused for a moment and sorted out his thoughts. He just wanted to confuse the thoughts of everyone present, avoid the important points and choose the light ones, and then talk slowly.
"Based on what you just said, here's what I think about it. We, the Japanese Empire, have come all the way to Northeast China. What is it for? Is it simply a war for the sake of war? No. We are here for us.
There is a question about the future survival of the empire. This question is what is dominance?
Our military operations, as well as all work, must be carried out around this leadership. I don’t know if you have seen the actual situation in Guandong. Returning villages and merging households, burning, killing and looting. Is it effective? The actual effect
It is unbalanced and greatly unbalanced by the efforts we have made to achieve this.
I would like to ask everyone here. Why does this phenomenon occur? Killing is only a means of deterrence, but it is by no means the best way to solve the problem. There is a saying in China: That is called killing the chicken to retrieve the egg with a hammer.
Buy and sell.
But I think that this will never be our ultimate goal. What we want is this fertile land. That involves what we want the land to do? Isn’t it for the sake of occupying it? That is to make it useful.
Output. Produce food and the products we need.
Then it comes back to the issue of who will do the work. Who will do the work? It won’t be such a large area, equivalent to dozens of places in our empire, all worked by our mere pioneering group.
Right? How much land can they cultivate? One person cultivates a hundred acres? A thousand acres? Or ten thousand acres of land. So can the food they harvest be used by our imperial army? What should we do if there is not enough land?
Crops will grow only when people plant them. They will not come out of thin air.
Then we have to use the original farmers. But we kill them at every turn, or capture them to do work other than farming, which leads to the desolation of large areas of land and a reduction in food production. Isn't this tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs?
?
The second question is that, now that we know the cause of the disease, we must find a solution. Let me give you an example, I wonder if you have ever raised hens at home? When I was a child, he helped me
My grandfather raised hens. My grandma asked me to feed the hens bugs, saying that if the hens eat more bugs, they will lay more eggs. So I went to the Songhua River and often got a lot of fish or touched them.
Lots of clams to feed the hens.
We all know that if a hen has no food to eat, it will not lay eggs; but what I did later was just the opposite. The hen stopped laying eggs, grandma said. It was too fat and the eggs melted.
.In fact, the hens are over-nourished.
That is to say, our policies should be adjusted. We should not just burn and kill them blindly, which is killing chickens. But we should not accommodate them too kindly, which would be feeding them. Instead, we should adopt a moderate policy,
The most important thing is to enable them to cultivate land and produce food with peace of mind.
But they should not be allowed to have too much grain in their hands. Just leave enough for them to use for a year. If there is too much grain, they will become lazy and not want to work.
Our imperial army will have the strength to fight only if it has food. In this way, most of the Chinese people will not resist the imperial army because they have enough to eat, because they have to farm to support their families.
How can there be time to fight? The Chinese people's temperament is that when they are comfortable, they will never look for discomfort.
In this way, many of the problems that have been troubling us will be solved. It will also avoid a lot of unnecessary consumption. And our Kwantung Army can also recuperate and prepare to continue to expand its territory and complete our mission.
As far as I know, even the Manchu dynasty, in the early days of its founding, did not blindly kill people. Otherwise, they would never have been able to secure the Han empire for three hundred years.
The second big question is the strategic direction of the Kwantung Army. What is the responsibility of the Kwantung Army? That is to open up territory for the empire. If we look at the map, we will know that what we actually need most is how to open up the relationship between Kwantung and Japan.
Transportation links on the island.
We cannot just rely on Dalian Port, which is too far away from our empire. Where is the closest? Of course it is Vladivostok. Or Hunchun. But Hunchun has a narrow harbor and shallow water that is not suitable for building a wharf.
As for the Soviet Union in the Far East, since Tsarist Russia seized the Sixty-fourth Village in Jiangdong, China, after decades of construction, it has built a complete deep-water dock, which is in Vladivostok.
The current situation is that after investigation by our imperial agents, I myself often travel to and from the Soviet Union because of my grandfather, and I have heard and seen a lot of facts. Whether it is the Chinese gcd or the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union, they are doing
During the Great Purge, a large number of capable, high-level and high-level commanders with combat experience have been shot or exiled.
Even the inside of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was affected by this, causing huge damage. A large number of commanders and fighters with actual combat experience were transferred from the army. The army no longer has the ability to fight, and it is no longer a threat to the Kwantung Army.
Threat. And after one or two years of training, our Kwantung Army has regained its strength and will be invincible.
