Rise from the sword

Chapter 681

Good luck.

Outside the commander of the No.17 division.

From ten o'clock in the morning, the guards from the military headquarters began to expand a meeting room next to the headquarters. The progress of the project was very fast. The wooden expansion frame was ordered, and canvas was laid. By noon, a huge meeting room was built. .

Afterwards, under the leadership of the head of the division, all the commanders, captains, squadron leaders, and squad leaders of the surrounding fourth division and the [-]th division filed in collectively.

After a group of devil officers entered the meeting room, they saw Tsutomu Tanaka on the rostrum in the front row, and guards around them holding submachine guns.

Immediately.

The devil officers became frightened.

Their three divisions and all regiments participated in this food seizure incident. It can be said that every officer participated in this incident.

Now the commander called all the officers of the three divisions to a meeting. There were still a large number of officers with nuclear bombs in the meeting room, and they only had katana swords in their hands, and they were not allowed to carry pistols.

They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.

Is this a crime?
"What happened in the past two days, I believe everyone is very clear."

After the simple opening remarks, Tsutomu Tanaka went straight to the topic:

"The locusts and the base camp issued successive orders asking me to thoroughly investigate this matter. All officers involved in this matter must be severely punished, and the mastermind of the incident must commit suicide to apologize."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the military officers in the conference room changed drastically.

One of the officers present counted as one, and all of them had unshirkable responsibility for the food incident.

According to this order, none of them could escape.

All the captains, some captains and other officers had to commit seppuku to apologize, and the rest of the captains, squadron leaders, and small captains were collectively demoted, and led the team into the front line to become a death squad to charge against the tank bombs.

The arena suddenly became chaotic.

Tanaka Qin did not control the situation, but waited for a while, and when the officer corps heard the news, they all looked ugly and gradually became restless, and then continued on their own:
"in addition."

He emphasized his tone:

"The locust also ordered me to increase the collection of food. If it is not enough, we will reduce the army's demand and give priority to meeting domestic demand."

After the words fell, the restlessness among the officers suddenly increased, and disbelief appeared on every officer's face.

How could the locust do this?
It's okay if there is no food. The imperial warriors are not afraid of difficulties, but they obviously have food, a large amount of food, which they "earn" with their own hands, but they just don't give them to eat. Even if they starve to death, they have to transport them back to the country.

They worked hard for the locust and the empire, but the empire and the locust didn't even give them enough food?

After waiting for a while again, the bustling voices gradually increased and reverberated in the temporary meeting room, and some people even stood up regardless of discipline, before Tanaka spoke again:
"The base camp and the locust asked me to keep it secret, but after thinking about it, I decided to speak out."

"The current domestic situation is very bad. The Republic of China launched a large-scale bombing on our homeland. More than [-] tons of bombs fell on the mainland of the empire every day. Almost all the cities of the empire were in ruins. A large number of people died, and even agricultural production was destroyed. destroy."

"Including the royal family, there is a food crisis, so we are required to transport all the food back."

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In addition, the bomber of Commander Li Datuan has radio positioning equipment. At present, the locust can't even send out the broadcast. No one can prove it whatever Qin Tanaka says.

And these news are [-]% true.

After speaking, Tanaka posted a huge aerial photo.Above are photos of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and other famous cities, the scenes after being bombed, and even a few photos were taken at low altitude, where you can clearly see the corpses everywhere and the crying and numb crowd.

The officer group became violently restless again.

This explanation made them even angrier. They fought desperately for the empire and fought against the enemy's tanks with meat bullets. As a result, the empire starved them to satisfy the royal family and domestic dignitaries.

What makes them even more angry is.

The tragedy in the empire was extremely severe. Maybe the family members had died in the bombing, but the high-level officials kept it from them. A feeling of betrayal spread in everyone's hearts.

They worked their lives for the Locust Empire, charged the enemy tanks with rifles, and killed the enemy tanks with grenades. As a result, did the Empire and the Locusts treat them like this?

"Then what's the point of us fighting here?"

Finally, an officer couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and howled hysterically.

Very head of state.

Tian Zhongqin glanced at the officer he had arranged, as well as other officers who were eager to try but did not dare to happen, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, and he took out a telegram on his own.

The locust has accumulated power for a long time, and it still needs to be stimulated.

"In the end, the joint order from the base camp and the locust asked me to withdraw the troops to the north and prohibit crossing the border. I also ordered the 25th Army to stand firm and fight to the last man."

boom······

"Why? Just because he is a locust? If we want to die, we have to die?"

"..."

Under the detonation by the people arranged by Tanaka Qin, the whole meeting room suddenly boiled, and the devil officers finally broke out.

The sentiment is exciting.

hysteria.

Princes and generals have orders!

······
"Naha, an excellent port on the Ryukyu Islands, is also an important node on the western Pacific route. The fleet transported from Southeast Asia must pass through the waters around Naha."

"It's 650 kilometers away from the devil's homeland, and [-] kilometers away from the edge of my base."

"The strategic location is very important."

"Occupy here, establish an air force base here, deploy early warning aircraft, cooperate with missile attack aircraft, missile boats, and torpedo boats to deter the surrounding air routes within [-] kilometers, and cut off more than [-]% of the material transportation routes of the devils in Southeast Asia."

"The rest have to detour more than 1000 nautical miles."

In Ping'an County, in the combat meeting room of the Independent Regiment Headquarters, Zhang Dabiao pressed his hand on Ryukyu on the map. Beside him were Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Kong Jie who came back on purpose, and ten elite deputy regimental leaders.

This battle is of great significance, and it is the beginning of the counter-offensive in the true sense of the army, so the commanders Ding Da and Kong Da also came.

Even the head of the body is also there.

"And here is an excellent port, the surrounding terrain is flat, very suitable for the establishment of an air force base."

Zhang Dabiao briefly introduced the importance of Naha.

"How is the strength of the devils here?"

The one who was with the captain asked.

"Very weak."

Zhang Dabiao replied, his tone was very honest, after all, this leader is like a little chick when he met:
"A year ago, when the Americans were still attacking the devils, there was a brigade of devils and several destroyers deployed here, but after the Americans stopped attacking, only a full brigade was left, and the rest were policemen. Troops, about 2000 people."

Humph····

Hearing this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but groaned in his heart.

The idea of ​​the Yankees retreating is well known to passers-by. It is nothing more than wanting the Republic of China and Japan to fight to the death, so that later they can harvest the peaches themselves, but this time, the Americans miscalculated.

And this account is endless.

"but."

Zhang Dabiao continued:
"Although there are not many Ryukyu devils in Okinawa where Naha is located, it is very close to the devil's homeland. There are many devil ports within a thousand kilometers. The devil's joint fleet still has strength and can quickly support it."

"So, for this operation, the most important thing is to occupy positions as soon as possible, build an airport, and deploy aircraft and shore artillery."

Although Zhang Dabiao's tone was dignified at this time, none of the people present showed nervous expressions.

From a common sense point of view, this battle is simply courting death.

Although the little devil is in decline, the strength of the combined fleet still exists. On his side, the naval landing force is almost non-existent. It is no problem to send a little light infantry, but with the strength of his own fleet, he can't even send a heavier artillery to the island. .

However, who let himself have a warehouse here!
As long as the infantry goes ashore and builds a warehouse, aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, ammunition, fuel and other supplies will come out continuously.

With the strength of the devils around Naha, this is not difficult.

Go up to a battalion, then build a warehouse, just build wooden boards, pull out construction machinery, cement, and steel bars, build an airport, arrange anti-aircraft guns, and shore artillery positions. At this time, the planes have already transported reinforcements in a steady stream.

By the time the devils arrive, there will already be over [-] troops there.

This also led to, nominally, this being a battle meeting to discuss how to capture Naha and establish a base, but it actually turned into a report, Zhang Dabiao reported his battle plan.

The rest didn't even bother to discuss it.

"After Naha, where is the next goal?"

Finally, the head of the body looked at Li Yunlong.

The rest of the people also looked at Li Yunlong.

"Guam."

Leader Li Da breathed out loudly.

······
the next day.

Zhang Dabiao is preparing for the attack in full swing.

Although the troops had been assembled, the battle was not difficult. The first battalion to land was transported by a speedboat. The distance of more than 600 kilometers could be reached by a high-powered speedboat in more than ten hours.

The second battalion in charge of the assault had already undergone long-term training, gained water proficiency, was able to sleep peacefully on the undulating speedboat, and charged and fired the next day energetically.

No difficulty.

But Zhang Dabiao still deduced the detailed process of the battle with the six deputy heads, striving to achieve perfection.

A wise man is sure to make a mistake, but one mistake is better than a hundred or a thousand mistakes.

And Zhang Dabiao also enjoyed this process very much. Facing the detailed map and comparing various advanced equipment of the army, he discussed the battle plan with a group of old subordinates, which made him feel a sense of happiness.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Compared with Zhang Dabiao's happiness, another group of people in Ping'an County are sitting on pins and needles, living like years.

"Mr. Mostov."

In the lounge, a man with rough hair and a beard walked in, and several people waiting here all looked at him.

"How about it?"

Everyone was nervous.

At present, our own country is already the most dangerous moment, not one of them.

It was even more dangerous than when Hitler came to Moscow.

After more than three years of tragic wars, millions of square kilometers of land fell. Although it was later recovered, millions of soldiers were sacrificed. This time, the enemy swept back with a stronger force.

Although the force is not as good as the first time, but the strength is even greater.

This time, the enemy learned the lesson of the first failure, with more tanks, more cannons, well-prepared logistical supplies, and even defeated their own army in the harsh winter.

And now, a stronger wave of offense is coming.

If there is no assistance, then this winter will be the last winter in Moscow.

"Hey···"

General Mostov, the conservative general appointed by Big Beard himself, sighed.

"They agreed to help. Tanks, planes, artillery, food, and fuel can all be provided, as much as they want."

Having said that, he paused and sighed again.

Seeing their expressions, everyone also realized that these things were not easy to hold.

"What do they want?"

someone asked.

"We're going to pay for it, in their currency."

General Mostov sighed again:

"Then, they refused to loan us money and had to pay in cash."

The crowd was instantly stunned.

Isn't it embarrassing to use the currency issued by their so-called base areas?Who can have their foreign exchange reserves?

"We could enter into a currency swap agreement, or take a loan from the United States and pay in dollars."

Someone came up with an idea right away.

International bulk trade generally uses gold or the currencies of major powers such as British pound, US dollar, and Mark. Gold needless to say, as a world power, its economy affects the world, and most countries have a certain amount of currency reserves.

But now that the war has been fought, our country has long been empty, and the American Concession Act is not a free benefit, but a price to pay.

Domestic gold has long been exhausted.

Under the circumstance that everything serves the war, foreign trade stagnates, the domestic currency plummets, and almost no one cares about it. Because of its powerful technology, people's "food stamps" are very tough in the world, second only to the dollar, pound, and mark.

So currency swaps are almost impossible.

But it is perfectly fine to lend dollars to allies, collateralized by national credit.

Could it be that they don't accept dollars?This is currently the strongest currency in the world.

"They take dollars."

At this point, Mostov gritted his teeth:

"But only at one-tenth of the market price."

"one tenth."

All eyes were on fire.

This means that if they use US dollars to buy, they will buy ten times the price, which is simply stealing money.

"Isn't this beating around the bush and refusing to help us?"

Someone finally figured it out.

"They made a deal."

Mostov sighed.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the scene in the last world war, when the diplomats of this country were negotiating with European and American powers, and also thought of the scene of asking for support with them in 37.

Although he hadn't seen it before, probably the other diplomat was in the same mood as he is now.

Angry, aggrieved, helpless.

"Trade?"

Everyone was overjoyed, and then asked:

"What do they want to buy?"

"Buy land."

Mostov was angry, aggrieved, and helpless.
