In the world of Bright Sword, the quality of the soldiers of the Rising Sun Kingdom's army has been declining. This is probably a typical sequelae of the dual impact of lowering standards and expanding recruitment and a shortage of troops.
If we say that the standing army of the Shengyang Kingdom at the beginning of the all-out invasion in 1937, one soldier was as good as ten soldiers in front of the various political and military forces in China. From 1938 to 1939, as the war expanded and the supply lines continued to lengthen, they were organized and transferred to
It is difficult for non-main standing armies in overseas occupied areas to serve as ten soldiers. When the time came to 1940, although the invading army achieved great military results, its domestic attitude towards the continuation of the war continued to change.
For example, in the first year of the war of aggression, after the invading army captured the first capital of the Chinese government, they announced government-level slogans such as "no more war with the government that has moved the capital." They even used slogans such as "Massuring the labor force in the city."
In order to intimidate the Chinese people and the army, they did not dare to resist. In this year, through military occupation and the first wave of economic plunder, the invaders obtained most of the financial wealth of the Chinese government. It can be said that
Eat a lot.
However, this kind of economic expropriation that dug up the graves of every household and kicked out the widows could never be repeated. Before 1938, following the invading army to siege cities and plunder territory, the puppet regime established in the occupied areas was overthrown.
Although the rule of the Chinese government cannot be said to be a combination of leniency and severity, it still has a relatively stable socio-economic environment. The domestic feudal landlords, bureaucratic capital and comprador groups systematically exploit workers downwards and pay taxes upwards to maintain the stability of the country.
The security environment of social fundamentals.
The invaders of the Rising Sun Kingdom don't think so. They expect soldiers and officers who have made great achievements by killing enemies on the battlefield, maintaining order and ensuring currency liquidity in the occupied areas, and supporting the army with a steady stream of tax revenue. This is obviously an idealist view of seeking fish from a tree.
. Their point of view is very clear. Fighting in the enemy's country with your head raised will naturally make money in the enemy's country. Thoughts direct the behavior, the minority obeys the majority, and a systematic economic plunder from top to bottom follows the advancement of the invading army.
Evil flowers bloomed on the earth.
As the front stretched and the pace of the invading army's advance slowed down as logistical supplies became increasingly difficult, the dispatched army headquarters finally realized a fact that had to be faced - China was too big.
