Ishihara Wanji could naturally see that Emperor Hirohito was lying, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to those idiots in the Navy Ministry! If this war requires 10,000 yuan, Britain and the United States actually have 1 million yuan.
, and Japan only has 1,000 yuan. This difference can only be made up with strategy, not with the slogan of "turning the impossible into possible." At this stage, Britain and France must not provoke the United States!
Although the total displacement of the U.S. Navy is not as good as that of the Empire of Japan, the industrial manufacturing capacity of the United States is more than ten times that of the Empire! The United States has inexhaustible massive resources. Once the U.S. war machine starts, the Empire of Japan will be destroyed no matter what.
It's irresistible! Even if we can gain some advantages through tactical means in the early stage, in the long run, if we declare war with the United States, the Empire of Japan will definitely be defeated!" "Baga!"
Hearing this, Emperor Hirohito couldn't hold back his anger, and he actually regretted calling this guy back. Why is this guy talking so much that people don't like to hear it! Emperor Hirohito admitted in his heart that Kanji Ishihara is indeed very good, and his words are also good.
It makes sense, but I hate Kanji Ishihara's attitude and way of speaking. I feel like the other person treats me like a primary school student and is preaching!
At the same time, due to a series of "brilliant results" achieved on the Chinese battlefield, Emperor Hirohito also began to follow suit and became overconfident and impetuous! As a lofty emperor, he naturally wanted to expand territory as soon as possible and gain more territory.
He has made great achievements, established unparalleled feats, and left his name in history to be forever admired by future generations! However, according to Ishihara Wanji's strategy, there is only three to five years to conquer China, let alone dominate the entire Asia-Pacific region, establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and then
Fight for global hegemony!
However, Ishihara Kanji, who was in a state of excitement, did not realize Emperor Hirohito's displeasure, and then said: "So, in addition to looking for the enemy's weaknesses strategically, we must also realize that we have
Advantages of conditions, tactics, warriors, specific weapons and other means of warfare.
Only by relying on these advantages can we expand the enemy's weaknesses. Only after the first phase of the battle plan is completed can we enter the next phase of the war plan. This war plan must include the necessary production enhancement quantity and the means and methods for implementation and its possibilities.
Sex..." "Okay, I understand. I will consider it." Hirohito frowned, and he didn't like hearing it anymore!
Ishihara Wanji, however, still had more to say and continued: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the ultimate outlet for the Empire of Japan lies on the mainland, not the ocean! For thousands of years, China has always been a powerful existence that the empire needs to look up to, and it is also the biggest obstacle to the empire's great dream.
!The current weakness and division of China is a great opportunity for the empire to gradually encroach on it. We must not miss it, and we must not rashly go to war with Britain and the United States!
To conquer China, we must have a strong enough army, so I strongly suggest that we slow down the construction of the navy and transfer strategic resources to the army! As long as our army has an absolute crushing advantage, it will definitely be able to completely conquer China within three to five years.
By destroying China, the Empire of Japan will definitely have a surge in national power, and it will be able to conquer the Soviet Union with its ally Germany!
In this way, the two major problems in the Empire of Japan will be completely eliminated, and we can further dominate Southeast Asia. By then, even in the face of the powerful Britain and the United States, the Empire of Japan will be invincible!" I have to say, Ishihara
Wan'er's strategic policy is indeed very vicious. As we all know, the Japanese Navy was far superior to the Japanese Army during World War II:
1. The Japanese Navy had the most aircraft carriers in the world at 23 in 1942, surpassing the United States; 2. The Japanese Navy had 24 battleships, of which Yamato and Musashi were the most in the world; 3. The Japanese Navy not only attacked Pearl Harbor but successfully counterattacked
Sink two British battleships and directly cripple Britain!
The Japanese Army seems to be very miserable. Due to the limitation of national power, steel, rubber, and oil all need to be imported, and the steel quota of the three services is given priority to the Navy, and finally the Army. Because resources are heavily tilted towards the Navy, the Japanese Army does not have European and American automated weapons.
And armored forces. For example, tanks are the king of land warfare. Japanese tanks are vulnerable to Europe and the United States. They have thin skin and weak firepower. They were suppressed by the American Sherman in the Pacific battlefield and were crushed by the Soviet steel torrent in the Northeast.
collapse!
It was not until the late World War II that Japan was blinded by the torrent of steel from the United States and the Soviet Union, and it began to develop more advanced tanks, but it was already too late! In the final analysis, this is determined by Japan's national conditions. As an island country, Japan values the development of its navy the most. What?
Give priority to the navy! Since Japan can even build such high-tech weapons as aircraft carriers, and they do them well, not to mention tanks, it does not mean that the Japanese army is not good, but that Japan attaches too much importance to the navy!
So it is not difficult to imagine that if Ishihara Kanji's ideas and strategies are really implemented, what kind of ending World War II will be is really unknown! "I know, I will seriously consider it! Ishihara-san, you
I have just returned from a tiring journey, so I will go home and have a good rest for two days!" Hearing this, Hirohito seemed even more unhappy. These words were completely equivalent to rejecting so many years of hard work and basic national policies!
The dispute between the navy and the army has been going on for a long time in Japan. Hirohito has long been very resistant to this. Naturally, it is impossible to change the basic national policy just because Ishihara Wanji said a few words. What's more, the Japanese navy has now become a steel
The giant beast has long formed a powerful combination of interests, and even the aloof Japanese Emperor cannot stop this momentum!
"Your Majesty, please think carefully! Ishihara withdraws!" Ishihara Wanji actually had a lot to say. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot to get the real power he wanted to realize his ambitions, but seeing Hirohito's extremely unhappy expression, he could only swallow these words.
Into the stomach!
After Ishihara left the scene with a smile, Hirohito called out Tada Shundao, who was listening next door: "Tada-san, tell me what you think about this?" "Hai!"
Tada Shun bent down and said: "Your Majesty, there is an old saying in China that good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is hard on the ears and good for action. Although Ishihara-san's words are very sharp, they are really far-sighted! Especially when the Japanese Army is facing the current situation.
We have encountered an extremely difficult opponent. If we cannot eliminate them completely as soon as possible, we must further strengthen the development of the army!" Although what Ishihara Wanji said just now is an old story, Tada Shun had heard it a long time ago, and he had disdain for it.
After a quick glance, this time is different from the past. Now it sounds very reasonable to Jun Tada! "Okay, I understand! You can go down too!"
Hirohito secretly shook his head in disappointment. Although he knew that this was more practical, he had to shoot the arrow when it was on the string, so even if he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell, he hoped to hear Tada Shun agree with the "southern" strategy!
At the same time, Rizhao County, Ju County and Yishui County are also intensively engaged in large-scale construction. Zhaoyuan Construction Company has mobilized a construction team of more than 8,000 people and a large number of machinery for this purpose. The lineup is extremely large and luxurious! The construction projects in these three counties are
When the common people learned that the Jiaodong Group Army would be stationed in the city and that their hometown would be built into a prosperous, prosperous and civilized city like Gaomi, Jiaoxian and other counties, they all cried with joy and looked forward to the stars and the moon for this day!
Even the officials from these two counties rushed to Zhaoyuan County to use the back door to entrust their connections. They wished they could immediately become civil servants under Jiang Qiang's rule! When Jiaodong construction companies began to set up shop in Rizhao County, Ju County, and Yishui County,
When the job was open, local people signed up enthusiastically, and in a short time, there was a huge crowd of people!
Even after the recruitment of people was full, many people said that they could work together without being paid. They just wanted to complete the project quickly and formally bring them under Jiang Qiang's rule! In this way, the progress of defense fortifications and urban construction was astonishingly fast.
, comparable to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the early days of reform and opening up in later generations, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing every day! The 5th Division of Yun Qichang is busy recruiting new soldiers to expand its team, while the 6th Division of Gu Liangmin has just completed the change and is adapting.
New equipment, learn military management regulations and team training!
In addition, all departments of the entire army are carrying out various recent key tasks in an intense and orderly manner, and everything is developing rapidly in accordance with Jiang Qiang's planning and design. Pingdu, Japanese Second Army Headquarters! "Huaxia
The pig is expanding the defense zone and building a large number of permanent defenses? Baga! Are we just here to watch?"
Suzuki, the Chief of Staff of the Second Army, smiled bitterly and said: "We really have no good way to deal with him at the moment. The Imperial Navy Aviation Corps suffered a heavy blow some time ago! Now the enemy not only has air defense radars and anti-aircraft guns, but also has a powerful fighter group.
The Imperial Air Corps does not dare to carry out air strikes rashly! The base camp has not yet issued new combat orders, so we can only wait patiently!"
"Bagaya! When has the Imperial Japanese Army ever suffered such humiliation!" Nishio Shouzou cursed in extreme frustration. He was not a fool. How could he not be able to distinguish these basic situations? But in his heart,
The anger and anger cannot be suppressed! "Commander, please calm down!" So I suggest that we take advantage of this gap to kill all these damn Chinese rats! This will also eliminate a serious problem for the Japanese Empire, right?
?”
At this time, Jiang Qiang could still tolerate Pingdu County occupied by the Japanese. It was a nail between Jiaodong and Gaomi. Jiang Qiang immediately held a meeting to deploy an attack on the 107th Division and the 10th Division in Pingdu and Wei County.
, In addition, the 107th Division and the 10th Division, which were assembled in Jimo, Pingdu, Weixian and other places, gradually regained their strength after additional training of soldiers. They did not expect that the Jiaodong Group Army would attack them again. The 107th Division
Koshimano was already scared at this time. Koshimano reported to Nishio Hisao of Pingdu that they were now preparing to transfer part of their troops to the Xuzhou battlefield. They did not expect that Jiang Qiang would launch an attack on them at this time. The 10th Division
The regiment was also preparing to go to Jining to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou. Seeing that Jiang Qiang was about to draw again, he had no choice but to stop.
At this time, the First Division destroyed all the Japanese defensive bunkers along the way, occupied Renzhao Town, and cut off the connection between Pingdu and Qingdao. The Third Division captured Weixian, Pingdu, and Japan at lightning speed.
2nd Army Headquarters! Hisao Nishio was also in a panic at this time. The scourge of Jiang Qiang came from the grave of Lieutenant General. I don’t know how many Lieutenant Generals died in his hands. “I can never be like Seiji Kozuki.”
Capture Jiang Qiang, and my family will be finished." Nishio Shouzou immediately ordered the plane to move the Second Army Headquarters to Qingdao. If you can't fight, run away, that's what Nishio thought. As soon as the people from the Second Army Headquarters ran away
, Jiang Qiang's three divisions also succeeded in encircling the 107th Division, which was in line with Jiang Qiang's strategic goal, which was to disrupt the little devil's strategy of going south to attack Wuhan and northern Jiangsu.
At this time, Jiang Qiang had ordered the deployment of 107 rocket launchers to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the 107th Division, because too many soldiers had been sacrificed during this period. Jiang Qiang did not want to continue like this. In addition, Guangdong could not get a call back from anywhere, and the little devil had already been killed.
After driving out of the Guangzhou area, the Guangdong Campaign has been won. This was also the previous request of General Jiang Qiang and Tang Juwu. Under the strong firepower of the Jiaodong Military Region, it took less than ten hours to recapture Pingdu and Wei County and wipe out the 107th Division.
With a regiment of more than 18,000 people and a regiment of the 10th Division, the Japanese were blinded at once.
The Japanese army is fighting in full swing outside, and they are also engaged in construction in the Jiaodong area. More than 10 million people are constructing the future in this paradise in the Jiaodong area, with all-round development in all fields, striving to start from within a very short period of time.
A seedling breaks out of the ground and grows into a towering tree! The most prominent one is the military development.
At present, the first phase of preparation training for the 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Armored Brigade, and Airborne Brigade has ended. The recruits in each unit have qualified combat effectiveness, and the three-three tactics
They are familiar with it by heart. The five major techniques and tactics of infantry are also up to standard. The soldiers also learned to read and write in the military school. They also conducted a lot of exercises in infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination. They only need to accept the test of a few more battles. These
The new recruits can grow into real elite warriors.
The commanders and fighters of the army have also passed paper examinations and simulation exercises again and again, and have proven their ability to take command positions in repeated experiences. Now, the commanders and fighters are just one step away from being tempered in actual combat with iron and fire. After all, famous generals
They are all fought out, not just talked about. Therefore, all armies are asking for a battle. If they want their swords to be unsheathed, they must first sacrifice the flag to the two Japanese divisions outside the Jiaodong area who do not know how to live or die!
Jiang Qiang saw with satisfaction that these main forces had escaped the most dangerous transition period between new and old veterans and transformed into a main force capable of fighting when called upon. At the same time, the aviation corps had also shown its talents.
When Li Jinglin and Liu Guanghua successfully brought out the first batch of qualified pilots, Jiang Qiang kept his promise. In addition to the Y-5 for training, he also replaced a batch of 12 P51 Mustang fighter jets for the aviation corps. P51 fighter jets
He is also a well-known star fighter.
This type of fighter is known as the best fighter in World War II and is also the pinnacle of piston fighters. The production volume is more than 15,000. It has a long range, excellent maneuverability, and good firepower. It is a real hexagon.
The warrior had almost no shortcomings in actual combat. He shot down more than 4,000 enemy planes and more than 200 V1 cruise missiles launched by the German army. His performance was outstanding.
And when these single-engine fighter jets equipped with six large-caliber aviation heavy machine guns appeared at the Qixia County Airport, both Li Jinglin and Liu Guanghua went crazy with joy. They flipped through the flight manual without saying a word, and then started to practice it with great joy.
After taking a look, the two of them excitedly drove a P51 fighter jet and accelerated into the air.
Amidst the roar, two graceful monoplane fighter jets soared into the sky. The two were extremely excited and performed various maneuvers in the air. High-altitude dives, low-altitude climbs, continuous rollers, simulated tail biting, and the sound of flying.
It was a great experience but refused to land. Jiang Qiang reluctantly let the two of them come down first, but the two reluctantly asked for more than half of the fuel consumption before landing.
Jiang Qiang told them even more helplessly that the P51 Mustang fighter jet has a range of more than 2,750 kilometers. Even if you fly until night, you can't fly all the way. Let's get down first. The two had no choice but to land in the fighter plane.
At the same time, the current 12 Y-5s and 24 C47s are concentrated to launch a large-scale airdrop, which can deliver the strength of an airborne battalion at one time. Only in this way can the airborne brigade have the actual combat capability of organized delivery. At the moment, at the Qixia County Airport,
Various types of aircraft were already crowded, and a total of forty-eight fighter jets and transport aircraft were parked in rows on both sides of the airport runway, which looked very spectacular.
Li Jinglin and Liu Guanghua continued to train rookie pilots. The best pilots flew P51s into the air to simulate air combat, the pilots with average performance flew C47 transport aircraft, and the worst ones still flew Transport 5. Above the clouds in the Jiaodong area, almost every day
The whistling sound of piston engines can be faintly heard in every city. It is the pilots driving fighter jets equipped with camera guns to simulate air battles again and again, honing their fighting skills against each other.
Naturally, the Japanese army surrounding Jiaodong, dozens of kilometers away, had no way of noticing this, because they were busy driving more refugees to the Jiaodong area in accordance with the orders of General Hata Junroku. The Japanese army wanted to exhaust the refugees.
Jiang Qiang provided food without considering how much trouble the refugees arriving in the Jiaodong area would cause them in the future. Over the past few days, the waves of refugees driven by the Japanese army from all over Shandong have converged on the Jiaodong area like a trickle. The number is conservatively estimated.
There are more than 600,000 people.
These large numbers of refugees came to the Jiaodong area fearfully. They thought they were waiting for a cannibalistic purgatory, but they did not expect that it was a vast and safe new world. The refugees were surprised by the scene here, and they also understood it under the influence of their ears and eyes.
Knowing everything that happened here, my enthusiasm for joining the army became very high.
But the positions in each army were full. Therefore, Jiang Qiang ordered the formation of four reserve divisions and three production and construction divisions. He would first use the skeletons of these troops to temporarily organize the large number of refugees and establish an initial
To maintain order and avoid civil strife. In addition to conducting the most preliminary military training and the most basic armed forces, the most important tasks of these reserve forces are production and construction.
When the war situation further expands in the future, these reserve troops will have the opportunity to go into battle. In summary, at this moment, Jiang Qiang has a total of 150,000 elite regular troops and 160,000 reserve troops, as well as aircraft, tanks and artillery. It can be said that
The troops are strong and the horses are strong.
But the amount of resources consumed by an army of this size every day is not a small number. There are millions of people in the Jiaodong area, plus the 600,000 refugees driven by the Japanese. The total number is a terrible problem.
Among them, eating alone is a big problem. This is also a problem that the Japanese hope Jiang Qiang will encounter. Therefore, this involves another area besides military construction.
Agriculture. Jiang Qiang mainly relies on two ways to solve the problem of food: the first is to rely on Shanghai Hongkou relief, and the second is to rely on self-reliance. Therefore, if primary products such as grain can be solved by other means, try to avoid consuming precious
of gold.
Before Jiang Qiang came, even if the Jiaodong area had good weather and a smooth harvest year, the grain output per mu would only be 300 to 400 jins, and it would also require a lot of human resources. But Jiang Qiang looked down upon him.
With such a small grain output, agricultural construction can be carried out directly in accordance with modern conditions with a wave of the hand.
High-quality rice seeds, nutrient-rich nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and various mechanized equipment came to the table for a while, sowing and reclamation were carried out in a non-traditional sense, and a vigorous large-scale grain production plan was launched. Initially, they came to Jiaodong area with the flow of refugees.
Several agricultural professors looked at this big plan and were extremely surprised. In the traditional thinking of these agricultural professors, there had never been a plan that used so many mechanized equipment to grow grain, let alone such high-quality rice seeds.
As for so many chemical fertilizers, they are simply unattainable products in textbooks! It is simply amazing that a mere agriculture industry has so many bold conditions!
Without saying a word, the agricultural professors went to the fields in person and planned agricultural areas on the Jiaodong map. This area is planted with rice, that area is planted with corn, and another area is planted with potatoes. Their eyes are full of hope. One can do a big job.
hope!
Among the high mountains of Yunmo Mountain and Fengshan Mountain, there is a scene of excitement. Tractors with iron plows are roaring to open up fertile fields, automatic water pumps are pumping large amounts of clean water from rivers into the farmland, and rice transplanters are
Rows of seedlings are inserted at a dizzying speed, while the rice sprayer sprays pesticides to kill insects and weeds... That efficiency is incredible!
Naturally, the Japanese troops on the periphery were also restless. Although under the intelligence blockade of the Secret Service, the Japanese troops did not know what was going on in the Jiaodong area, but this did not prevent them from causing trouble.
When summer and autumn transitioned, the Japanese army decided to cause trouble in the Jiaodong area. Therefore, the Japanese army prepared to send some fighter planes to bomb the farmland in the Jiaodong area, adding another fire to the Jiaodong area that they expected to be reduced to starvation and death.
Accelerate the demise of Jiang Qiang. Under the conspiracy of the Japanese army, more than a dozen Japanese fighter planes roared over with white phosphorus incendiary bombs, attempting to burn the farmland in the Jiaodong area and completely turn the Jiaodong area into a living hell.
However, what greeted the Japanese fighter planes were venomous surface-to-air missiles. Under the head-on attack of several rounds of surface-to-air missiles, these old Japanese fighter planes were left with a dead end. These fighter planes were shot down.
After being bombed, only a few lucky ones managed to escape back to the airport with their lives.
The Japanese Army Air Force, which has suffered enough, said that until the army or intelligence agencies figure out what mysterious anti-aircraft weapons the Jiaodong Military Region has mastered, they will never send another fighter plane to seek death! Spy orders that can enter the Jiaodong area
They were greatly disappointed. None of the spies could come out alive. Even those who could lurk had no way to communicate with the outside world!
So they were also at a loss. With no other choice, the Central China Dispatch Army had to cancel the plan to bomb the farmland in the Jiaodong area. However, the Japanese generals were not disappointed. After all, even if the farmland in the Jiaodong area could successfully produce grain, how much could it feed them?
Human belly? The current population of Jiaodong area has reached more than 10 million.
It is not easy to feed the Chinese army with that little food. If you want to feed the 600,000 refugees again, haha, let's just talk nonsense! Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese generals, bombing or not bombing is just a matter of time.
, with the icing on the cake, it does not and will not affect the overall situation. As long as they can survive long enough, a huge famine will definitely break out in the Jiaodong area! By then, the army led by that damn Weiping will be destroyed without any attack! Rootless
Duckweed may be a great threat for a while, but over time, it will wither!
While these Japanese generals were happily planning how to defeat Jiang Qiang, autumn had arrived quietly. At this time, the Jiaodong area was already experiencing a great harvest. And the farmers no longer had to face the loess this time.
The tank crews of the 1st Armored Brigade were given a new task - driving combine harvesters to help farmers harvest rice.
As a result, in the stunned expressions of the farmers, a series of steel monsters were galloping in the neat farmland, harvesting grain with astonishing efficiency. In an instant, the vast farmland became as empty as if their heads had been shaved. And the old man and
The children spontaneously formed a team and followed the combine harvester to pick up some broken grains to avoid waste. The agricultural professors were also ecstatic to watch this harvest scene. The grains were like their children, and now the children are thriving.
, how can we not make them excited and happy!
An old professor excitedly ran to the weighing platform to see the harvest from one acre of land. He was shocked: "Oh my God! The yield per acre actually reached one thousand kilograms! How is this possible? This completely violates the teachings in the textbook.
Regularity!" The old professor anxiously grabbed the people around him and asked, "Are you confused? Did you get all the food from the three acres of land here? You can't fool me!"
People around me couldn’t laugh or cry: “Professor, we can’t believe it, but it’s true that one acre of land yields two thousand kilograms. There is so much grain in all the farmland. The ears are thick and big, with thin skin and full flesh. The grain we grew before is similar to
These ears look like weeds!" As he said this, the man pointed not far away: "Look, the people are going crazy with joy!"
The old professor looked over and found that many people were really crazy with joy. They were happily circling around the piles of grains, with happy smiles on their faces. Some people even buried their heads in the piles of grains, greedy.
Smelling the smell of grain, some people threw handfuls of grain into the sky, letting the sun shine on their satisfied faces. Not far away, some old people who had lived for most of their lives rubbed their eyes with eyes straight.
Staring at these grains, they had expressions of disbelief. They have lived for so many years, and from the Qing Dynasty to the present, they have never seen such an exaggerated harvest in any year! If they can harvest so much grain every year, then they
These years would not have been so miserable... The old people couldn't help but shed tears.
