As someone who has lived in the Internet age, Wu Aihua hopes that through his own efforts, he can change some short-sighted and superficial attitudes. Especially short-sighted behavior in construction projects has caused too many problems, such as shoddy projects, toxic food, and environmental pollution.
, endangering people's lives and health at all times.
The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is just an opportunity for Wu Aihua to express this idea.
At this design meeting, when the Yangtze River was discussed, many issues such as shipping, water conservancy, and flood control in the Yangtze River were naturally discussed. Wu Aihua instructed Song Zheyuan, Minister of Land and Resources Management, to strengthen the hydrology, climate, geology, landforms, and products along the Yangtze River.
Investigate flood disasters, and establish a "River Management Bureau" within the Ministry of Land and Resources as soon as possible to effectively and conscientiously manage the Yangtze River, Yellow River and other large inter-provincial rivers.
In future river management, we must adhere to the principle of "coordinated development and overall consideration" of flood control, irrigation, shipping, and electric power, and adhere to the governance policy of "government leadership, expert guidance, project promotion, and public participation."
…
While Wu Aihua in the East was promoting China's construction projects one by one during the peace break, the German head of state Hitler also accelerated the pace of his adventures.
Only half a year after the signing of the Munich Agreement, Hitler suddenly sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Czechoslovakia. Not only did he betray the international commitments he had made, he also slapped Chamberlain and others severely. At this point, Chamberlain, Daladier and other talents
Understand that their "appeasement" policy not only failed to bring "peace for a generation", but instead pushed this "generation" into war.
However, war was inevitable. After occupying all of Czechoslovakia, Hitler pointed his finger at neighboring Poland.
Due to the many problems of history and war in human society, there are almost no territorial disputes between neighboring two countries. At the end of the First World War, the victorious powers signed the Treaty of Versailles. As a defeated country, Germany had to transfer West Prussia to
Most of it and the province of Posen were ceded to Poland.
Now, Germany has become stronger, so Hitler asked Poland to return the city of Danzig, but Poland rejected Germany's request. This created an excuse for Germany to invade Poland.
If Germany wanted to invade Poland, it had to pay attention to the attitude of Soviet Russia. However, Soviet Russia had always been wary of Germany. After Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, Soviet Russia, Britain, and France held consecutive wars since April 1939.
After several months of military and political negotiations, Soviet Russia required Britain, France, and Russia to jointly guarantee the security of Eastern and Central Europe; however, Britain and France rejected Soviet Russia's positive suggestions and instead agreed to Hitler's plan to establish a military base in Central and Central Europe.
"Freedom of Action" in Eastern Europe.
Although Hitler had been sending diplomatic representatives to Moscow to show that Germany had no intention of invading Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia simply could not believe Germany's commitment.
At this time, an event that had a great impact on World War II broke out. This was a battle between Japan, Soviet Russia, and Mongolian troops in the Nomonhan area. It was known in history as the "Battle of Nomonhan" or the "Nomonhan Incident."
The world has long since changed beyond recognition; Japan is no longer the arrogant nation it once was!
After the signing of the Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement on March 31, 1938, the Japanese army did not stay on Chinese soil, but readily withdrew the North China Front Army and the 4th Army of the East China Front Army to the "Puppet Manchukuo"
within the territory; most of the nearly 500,000-strong South China Front troops stationed in Taiwan (about 100,000 were captured) were withdrawn to the Japanese mainland, leaving only one army in Taiwan. In addition, 300,000 Japanese troops were captured by the National Defense Forces
Soldiers also returned to Japan by boat one after another.
This Sino-Japanese war, which historically lasted until 1945, was more like a war rehearsal in parallel time and space. On the Japanese side, apart from paying some money and nearly 100,000 soldiers who died, there were no special losses.
In fact, what Japan gained in this short war of less than a year was far greater than what it lost (it was defeated, but China did not pursue the victory). The Japanese army tempered its troops on the Chinese battlefield, upgraded and improved
In the steel collision with the Wehrmacht, we learned that their tanks, artillery, and fighter planes were incompetent.
The Japanese have always obeyed the strong, and they are also particularly good at learning. Although the emperor, the cabinet, the big bosses in the war and navy departments all acknowledged their defeat in the war in China, they
They made mistakes and misjudged China's strength, so they suffered "setbacks". However, more comments said that they learned a lot from this war, the most important of which was that they saw the gap with the world's advanced level.
, although Japan is also considered a member of the advanced team, there is still more advanced among the advanced, so Japan must catch up.
How to catch up? Of course, we should speed up the research and development of new weapons and equipment, and arm the Imperial Japanese Army as soon as possible.
After the Japanese negotiating delegation returned home, they were received as heroes.
As the "official representative", Foreign Minister Hirota gave a detailed report on China's political situation to the emperor and the cabinet. He believed that China was about to change its leader, and Wu Aihua was definitely the most powerful competitor. He suggested that Japan improve its relations with Wu Aihua and the National Defense Forces.
The "military representative" Kanji Ishihara seemed to have the greatest achievement. He brought the prisoners back without spending much money and also figured out Wu Aihua's attitude. This generation of Japanese cabinets has always aimed to conquer China, so they have little understanding of Chinese culture.
It was very deep, so they basically believed in Wu Aihua's attitude and believed that Wu Aihua could become Japan's "friend". Ishihara Kanji's prediction was verified a few months later, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop fully
After feeling Wu Aihua's "pulse", Wu Aihua actually agreed to sell advanced artillery, tanks and fighter planes to Japan!
Wu Aihua agreed to sell advanced weapons to Japan, which caused some Japanese generals to start to fantasize about whether they would fight another war with China after holding these weapons. Ishihara Kanji immediately put an end to this "ignorant" idea: Are you really putting Wu Aihua and the National Defense Forces together?
Do you think you are a fool? If others dare to sell you advanced weapons, at least they still have more advanced things or more such weapons!
Yes, this is a murderous weapon. If others dare to sell it to you, it means that others are not afraid of you. Slowly, Japan no longer talks about conquering China.
Of course, not mentioning it does not mean that we have given up our aggressive ambitions. It’s just that everyone has buried these thoughts deeper.
The Japanese army, which had withstood the "baptism" of war in China, was no longer the army with first-class ambition and second-class combat power in history. As soon as the Battle of Nomonhan began, Mongolia and Soviet Russia suffered heavy losses.
In fact, Japan and Russia have been having military frictions in the Nomonhan area since 1935. Japan wanted to "test" Soviet Russia's military strength. However, such frictions and "provocations" mostly resulted in Japan suffering losses.
And end.
In early May 1939, Lieutenant Colonel Higashi Yamozo, commander of the cavalry regiment of the 24th Division (historically the 23rd Division) under the 5th Army of the Japanese Kwantung Army Kawamura Kyosuke, led more than 600 cavalry and chariot troops, and 5 aircraft of the Kwantung Army Air Force
Under the cover of aircraft, they attacked the Mongolian Army's 742 Heights east of the Halaha River. The reason was that the Mongolian police led Mongolian herdsmen to enter the disputed area for grazing.
Historically, this small battle ended with the Mongolian army losing more than 30 casualties and retreating. However, the Japanese army's battle at this time had a little bit of the flavor of the "blitzkrieg" of the National Defense Forces. Hundreds of Mongolian soldiers had just started to flee.
The Japanese tank troops surrounded them. The Mongolian army had to surrender after paying the price of more than 100 lives.
Of course, this was just a small test, and the Mongolian army's combat effectiveness was not strong. The Japanese army did not get carried away because of this. Their purpose was to attract the Soviet army.
After the war broke out, the Soviet Russian government immediately dispatched the 11th Tank Brigade to the Halaha River area in accordance with the "Soviet-Mongolian Mutual Assistance Agreement" to form a "confrontation" with the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese 24th Division Tank Regiment was not only equipped with the Japanese Army's own Type 95 tanks, but also with the "T-12" tanks from China. However, due to the number of such tanks sold by China,
Fewer, the 24th Tank Regiment was only allocated 12 such "assault tanks", just enough to form a tank brigade.
The 11th Soviet Tank Brigade was larger than the tank regiment of the Wehrmacht Marine Division, with a total of 144 tanks. The Soviet tanks at this time were not as abnormal as the T-34, and they weighed the most
It's only about 15 tons, which is better than Japan's Bean Tank and slightly heavier than the "Assault Tank" of the Wehrmacht.
A Soviet tank company went out for reconnaissance by the Halaha River, but was inevitably blocked by a Japanese tank squadron. The two sides immediately used tanks and artillery to attack!
The four bean tanks of the Japanese army soon stopped. One was hit and exploded, and the other was knocked down.
After receiving the report, the 24th Tank Regiment of the Japanese Army immediately dispatched 4 "Assault Tanks". As the name suggests, assault tanks are used for battlefield assaults. They are fast, flexible in steering, stable in body, and flexible in shelling. In addition to
Apart from its weak firepower and weak armor protection, this is definitely an excellent infantry assault equipment.
A 12-ton tank versus a 15-ton tank. After a few rounds of fighting, one of the Soviet tanks caught fire.
With the same 37 tank gun, why is the 12-ton tank fine but the 15-ton tank on fire? The reason is that the "T-12" assault tank is more resistant to shelling in terms of appearance design!
Of course, Soviet Russia would not let its tanks be destroyed by the Japanese army. Therefore, after the Japanese army sent reinforcements, Soviet Russia sent a tank battalion with a total of 12 tanks at one time to reinforce it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" By the Halaha River, the remaining 6 tanks of the Japanese army faced off against the 17 tanks of the Japanese army. The artillery fire from both sides was poured on each other as if they were free.
Can the Japanese army compete? The two sides fought fiercely for about half an hour. Only one of the Japanese army's six tanks was left, while the Soviet Union's losses were as high as eight! These eight tanks were all "T-12" assault tanks.
Those that were destroyed, the exchange ratio actually reached an astonishing 3:8, because the remaining one on the Japanese side was also a "T-12" assault tank.
