Kanji Ishihara is the flagship figure of the dove faction of the Japanese Army. This does not mean that he advocates Sino-Japanese peace. On the contrary, from the beginning to the present, he is a staunch supporter of the strategy of invading China. He and those who often shout and kill What is different about the Army hawks is that he insists on eating away at China bit by bit within his ability instead of just swallowing it regardless of whether it will cause indigestion. Ishihara Kanji's idea had no market in the past. After all, At that time, the gap in military power comparison between China and Japan was too big. The Japanese could conquer the three northeastern provinces with one regiment, and the Japanese army of 35,000 could defeat China's army of more than 350,000. It seemed that China would be destroyed. Just in the blink of an eye, facts have now proven that Ishihara Kanji's original persistence was correct. The Japanese are not weak in absorbing experience and lessons. No, Ishihara Kanji, who had been forced to retire from active service, actually stood up again in history. front desk,
Negotiate with the Chinese authorities and ensure Japan's established interests in China through negotiations. Ishihara Kanji has made such suggestions to the base camp before, but his end at that time was that he was almost beaten as a Japanese traitor, but his strategy was still the same as before. Strategy, but the treatment is not what it used to be. When Ishihara Wanji said these words, even the most radical junior staff officers present did not raise any objections.
The war situation is eroding. On the one hand, the base camp needs to adjust its strategies to maintain the situation. On the other hand, it also needs to have responsible people to support the situation. Affected by this climate, Ishihara Kanji's life trajectory has changed, and not only him, but also Koizumi Toshiichiro is the beneficiary. Others, this statement may be a bit far-fetched. As a time traveler, Koizumi Minichiro has no set life trajectory in this time and space. However, considering that after the Japanese Combined Fleet suffered repeated defeats against the Pacific Fleet, Koizumi Minichiro's theory of victory as an aircraft carrier The initiator should have been made a scapegoat and thrown into the cold palace. Now instead of being held accountable, he has been appointed as the governor of Southeast Asia, responsible for all military and political affairs of the Southeast Asian colonies. This statement seems to have some truth.
The role of the Southeast Asian colonies in Japan was once just a resource area, but now Ishihara Kanji has made such a suggestion, which means that the political status of the Southeast Asian colonies has been greatly improved. As for giving up Southeast Asia, because Southeast Asia has actually become a large The last fig leaf of the Japanese Empire's co-prosperity policy in Greater East Asia, so even Ishihara Wanji did not dare to give up easily, not to mention that Southeast Asia is Japan's last hope. If it does not give up Southeast Asia, it can only stick to the local area to support the imperial army. Southeast Asia has launched a counterattack, and Ishihara only gave two options, and everyone here knows that Hirohito is standing behind him. Maybe this is what Hirohito means, so even if some people doubt whether the mainland can hold on, they don't I dare to question it face to face. Judging from the situation, although the Ryukyu Islands have been captured by the Xuebing Army, Kyushu will face the threat of the Xuebing Army. However, considering that Japan still occupies a small half of China, there seems to be no need to worry that the Chinese will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese mainland. Strategy, on this issue, Ishihara Kanji also has a penetrating discussion: I do not deny that the Xuebing Army currently has the ability to directly attack our country's Kyushu, but I think that with Ouyang Yun's personality, he will not fully regain the territory. Before using troops against Kyushu, I studied Ouyang Yun. He is a good-faced person who is also hypocritical. He has deliberately climbed to his current position. He will definitely care about public opinion. What is the current public opinion in China? Of course, he must first regain the entire territory. But is our Imperial Japanese Army really vulnerable? No, we still have the Kwantung Army...
Although the Japanese army is at a comprehensive disadvantage in the Chinese battlefield, the whole country of Japan still feels that it is far away for China to comprehensively defeat them and regain the entire territory. The Japanese's self-confidence comes from the Kwantung Army, which is known as the most elite army in the Japanese Empire. What's remarkable about it is that the situation in the three northeastern provinces is different from that of Central China, South China, and East China. There is Manchuria here. If the Japanese want to come, the Manchurians will fight side by side with them even for their own interests. Therefore, here, the military training The army and the National Defense Forces will not be able to get much local support,
"Don't forget, we still have Germany as an ally. The Chinese want to take back the Far East occupied by Soviet Russia, so they organized the Far East Expeditionary Force. Although I admire Ouyang Yun as an opponent, I think he is obviously arrogant in this regard. Well, are the Germans so easy to defeat... What I can conclude now is that the Soviet-Russian battlefield will be a quagmire for the Chinese, and the Chinese will inevitably be trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. Therefore, as long as we can carry out counterattacks in Southeast Asia, The Chinese people will be forced to make peace with us temporarily. Why is it temporary? Guys, do you still think that China and Japan can coexist peacefully? No, this is simply impossible. Asia only needs one leader. China or Japan, and compared to China, which has a vast territory and rich resources, we need this position more. Therefore, as long as we still want to become a regional power, then we can only defeat China and keep China down forever... As long as we want to become a regional power. We can survive this most difficult period. I believe that with the empire’s industrial base and economic strength, we can completely defeat China..."
There is a reason why Ishihara Kanji removed the German factor, because just a month ago, the battle between the Soviet Union and the Germans in the Osa region began to enter another stage. This stage, military historians of later generations will call it " The first missile showdown in human history”,
The missile showdown between the Chinese and Soviet troops and the German army originated from the fact that the aviation force under the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force first used air-to-air missiles in the battle, causing the German army to lose its air superiority. Then the German army retaliated by using large-scale V2 and V3 rockets. The German missile retaliation was not able to cause much damage to the Central and Soviet troops due to the impact accuracy, but it caused great damage and damage to the Soviet people and civilian facilities behind the front, and the damage to China was , because its missile attack caused panic among the Soviet Russian people, which affected the immigration plan promoted by the Soviet Russian government, and then affected the Chinese coalition government's plan to fully recover the Far East. Therefore, when the relevant news was reported to Ouyang Yun, for In order to plan the Far East, he was furious and dispatched the newly formed long-range artillery tactical force.
The so-called long-range artillery tactical unit is also called "Second Artillery" in the Chinese military and is directly under the Supreme Command. Ouyang Yun's purpose of building it was for post-war deterrence, but now, for the early sinicization of the Far East, he can only It was unveiled in advance,
