General Nobuyuki Abe of the South China Front of the Japanese Army, who was born in 1875, is known in history as a politician who is good at "speculation" in the Japanese military. In 1936, during the "226" Incident in Japan, Nobuyuki Abe himself had no relationship with either the Imperial Road faction or the ruling faction.
However, he was eventually transferred to the reserve force. This classmate of Honjo Shigeru and Matsui Iwane at the University of China also served as the Prime Minister of Japan in 1939.
Nobu Abe was not responsible for the establishment of the Japanese South China Front Army. However, because the base established by the South China Front Army was to be built in Taiwan, the general who served as the commander of the Army in Taiwan in 1933 entered the pool of candidates for the Japanese base camp.
, and stood out in the final appointment and served as the commander of the South China Front.
According to the general procedure, Nobuyuki Abe received the order from the base camp to launch the "Yellow Bird Project" at 5 pm on February 24, and it took two or three days to prepare, and then sailed at sea for two days (the straight-line distance from Keelung Port to Hangzhou Bay is about 600 kilometers)
kilometers), which means that the Japanese army will not be able to reach Hangzhou Bay until around March 1 at the earliest.
However, Nobuyuki Abe was very anxious. This general, who was known as "never fought in a war" in Japan, was eager to make achievements to prove that he could fight (had participated in the war, but had not been given the right to command). Therefore, when he received the
After the order was issued, the 12th Ogizhou Rippei Army stationed in Keelung was immediately ordered to set off on time by boat one day later.
When the Japanese 12th Army boarded the ship at Keelung Port, Wu Aihua received intelligence from Hao Yong of the "Fengqing Bureau". Taiwan has been, is, or will be of extremely important strategic significance to China. In addition, it is connected with the Fujian Strait.
Being separated from each other, it was impossible for Wu Aihua not to pay attention to Taiwan.
This is exactly why Wu Aihua gave the order to "attack in full force" when the Japanese army asked Wu Aihua for instructions to retreat!
"Little Japan, you can play whatever you want, your tricks don't matter!" At that time, after Wu Aihua ordered Shen Ren to send the telegram, he looked at the sea in front of him and said confidently.
…
On the evening of February 20, Wu Aihua took Shen Ren, Kong Wu and the boys from the Wuwei camp and took advantage of the darkness to arrive near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay.
Historically, Yanagawa Heisuke's Japanese 10th Army landed here, causing the Battle of Songhu organized by the Nanjing government to collapse overnight. Including the subsequent Nanjing Massacre, the 10th Army also participated.
Wu Aihua believes that although history has changed beyond recognition, the Japanese army will not give up the excellent opportunity to flank the National Defense Forces such as the landing at Jinshanwei.
How to deal with the Japanese army, end the Japanese invasion of China as soon as possible, let it "operate" according to Wu Aihua's will, and target its invasion to the north or Southeast Asia is a strategy that Wu Aihua has been thinking about in recent years.
But this strategy is not something that Wu Aihua can do whatever he wants. If the Japanese can realize that they cannot swallow China, and then realize that there will be great benefits in going north or south, then the Japanese army may revolve around Wu Aihua's command.
The rod rotates.
Before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Wu Aihua had already instructed the "Fengqi Bureau" to implement these matters in detail.
In August last year, when the Battle of Peking and Tianjin was in full swing, news spread among the Japanese business community, especially the Japanese oil companies, that a White Russian fugitive aristocrat had organized an exploration team to conduct oil exploration and excavation deep in Siberia.
, However, when he had just made some progress, found oil deposits, and was dreaming of making a fortune, the red storm swept across Russia. The White Russian nobleman fled to Northeast China with his family assets and prospecting information, and stayed in Northeast China.
Nearly ten years later, the White Russian nobleman later settled in France.
The reason why this matter spread is because this Belarusian nobleman spent millions of rubles on prospecting, but the money was wasted. He was very depressed. He leaked it when he was drinking with a Chinese and asked
The Chinese, if he can find someone to buy the mineral information, will give him a reward of US$100,000.
It is said that the reserves of that oil deposit are between 200-400 million tons.
If one person tells this story, it may really be just a story. But if many people tell it, it is inevitable that someone will question whether this is true; it is inevitable that someone will further inquire about how to find the White Russian nobleman.
Just like the brain of businessman Maimai Yi stores a hundred years of business transaction cases, as an intelligence-shaped biological robot, Hao Yong also has all the intelligence in the world in his brain, including business and resource intelligence. In addition,
Some information on Shangwu Aihua's computer makes this news indeed traceable.
Around the Spring Festival of 1938, a Japanese company indeed found the Belarusian "noble" in a small town near Paris. The two parties had contact, and the Belarusian aristocrat issued some documents, such as the appraisal and signature of the Russian mining expert at the time.
This is naturally Hao Yong's specialty, and those experts have obviously been put under the dictatorship of Red Soviet Russia.
These appraisals and signatures, even top document appraisal experts, would not be able to conclude that they are fake.
Of course, the nobles would not foolishly show all the documents at once, but the things they showed were enough for Japanese spies to find the location of the mineral deposits. With a little investigation, they would be able to find clues.
In fact, except for a few cases where large mineral deposits were discovered in history, such as the Daqing Oilfield in China, there were no traces at all beforehand. Most of the other mineral deposits had traces.
While news about the large Siberian oil field was quietly spreading, another rumor emerged in the Japanese business community: a certain island in Southeast Asia has rich oil and iron ore reserves, and it is said that some local Chinese are already preparing to invest in mining.
In Southeast Asia, Japan's power has never been weak, so the news was quickly confirmed that these minerals indeed existed, and the local Chinese were preparing to mine them secretly, and the first phase of equity capital had been raised.
In addition, there is a lot of news about resources and minerals. Of course, these news can be verified, such as the news about what kind of minerals the Dutch colonists discovered on a certain island in Southeast Asia.
Among these many minerals, some will not be discovered until decades later, and some will be discovered in recent years, such as an iron mine discovered by Dutch colonists. In fact, the Netherlands will mine a large amount of it in a year.
We are currently doing preliminary work on road construction in the mine. Such information can be confirmed by the Japanese with just a little inquiry.
In addition to building momentum in intelligence, Wu Aihua also has several tricks that are stuck in the neck of the Japanese.
How could Japan, with its small territory and poor resources, be so invincible that it almost conquered the world in World War II? In addition to its scientific education and its militaristic policies, the United States had a 20-year "campaign" against Japan from 1921 to 1941 before the Pearl Harbor incident broke out.
"Blood transfusion" policy is the culprit!
There are various theories in history about the connivance and support of Japan by the United States, Britain and France, but for the Chinese, it was the connivance and support of Japan by the above-mentioned countries that brought about the loss of China's three northeastern provinces.
, brought more than ten years of war disaster to China.
The United States' support for Japan is mainly reflected in its exports to Japan. The United States is a country that is good at wielding the big stick of "economic sanctions". However, apart from verbal condemnation of Japan's aggression against China, it has never imposed real sanctions on Japan.
, but increased exports to Japan.
The main materials exported by the United States to Japan were arms, machinery, steel, scrap metal, and a large number of advanced technologies. This export reached its peak in 1938-1939, greatly increasing Japan's aggressive power.
As for the "face" of Americans, Wu Aihua, as a "experienced person", even understands it better than Americans. At present, or for a long time in the future, Wu Aihua has nothing to do with the United States. However, Wu Aihua has done something about it through the "Meihua Group"
The energy of the United States was appropriately "contained" against Japan.
At the beginning of 1937, the assets of the American-Chinese Group and American-Chinese Bank had exceeded US$5 billion, and their employees exceeded 100,000. They were already a decisive force in the American corporate world. After establishing contact with American Jews, the purchase and sale of charity
He even joined forces with Jewish businessmen to exert influence on the U.S. economy.
Capitalists are all profit-seekers, and the U.S. government has not imposed an "embargo" on China. Therefore, the Meihua Group used the power of its branches to compete with Japan for procurement in the United States. Due to the business case in Maimaiyi's mind
There are many, and the Meihua Group is always able to take advantage of valuable materials and technologies that are of interest to Japanese companies. At the same time, it sets some commercial traps for Japanese companies, so as to keep them under control and allow Japanese companies to start from the United States.
The materials and technologies obtained are more than one-third lower than the same period in history, while the prices are more than one-third higher than the same period in history. It can be said that Japanese companies are basically unprofitable in such transactions.
Although the cost paid by Meihua Group for this is not low, who allowed Meihua Group to have a perverted business man? Who allowed Meihua Group to have an endless supply of US dollars, pounds and yen in the world.
On the one hand, Japan's "blood transfusions" received from abroad have decreased; on the other hand, Japan's sudden expansion of the scale of the war has increased the Japanese government's "expenses". These two factors have led to Japan's domestic economic situation being much worse than during the same period in history.
.Therefore, Japan at this time particularly wanted to obtain cheap resources.
Due to the emergence of the "merit system", not only has China's economic situation been much better than at the same time in history, but it has also made China one of the few countries in the world that can export civilian technology (military technology is more advanced and is at war with China)
Don’t even think about it in Japan), but in all the technology transfer terms reached by the local governments of Fujian and Guangdong in China, there is a provision that "no transfer to Japan or Japanese-funded enterprises under any conditions" makes Japanese enterprises hate it.
, but there is no other way.
Finally, the powerful military strength of the National Defense Forces and the basically undefeated record in battles with the Japanese army have greatly reduced the evaluation and expectations of Japan by the United States, Britain, France and other countries, while their evaluation of China is much more positive, at least in their opinion
China and Japan still have to fight! Therefore, if Japan wants to obtain the same international environment as in history, the price it will pay will be even greater.
