Chapter 274 The Chaotic Japs and the New Situation

"What? The enemy used an unprecedented weapon and turned Changqi into a sea of ​​fire! 108731 casualties?" The Japanese soldier Tian Huang said in a somewhat inappropriate voice to a group of Japanese soldiers in the base camp.

After almost two days of rescue and investigation, the Japanese headquarters basically figured out the losses and the circumstances of the attack, and then reported the situation to the Japanese Tian Huang.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have reason to believe that this is a newly developed weapon of the Eighth Route Army. It uses the same rocket technology as they used to attack our airport. Judging from the distance, the range of this weapon is almost 1000 kilometers. It is really a great threat to our Locust Army. Now, it is time to decide on a decisive battle against the Eighth Route Army in Jin. Otherwise, our empire will be endlessly attacked." The highest commander of the Japanese army stood at attention and answered with a stiff upper lip.

"This is the latest plan of our headquarters. We suggest expanding the scale of Operation Zero and concentrating all the forces that the Kwantung Army can currently mobilize, as well as the strength of the local air force. We want to form an overwhelming advantage and have a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi!

This concerns the fate of the empire, we can’t delay any longer.”

"But what about the north? What if the big bear moves south?" Tian Huang had never expected that the situation would change so drastically in such a short period of time. His fingers tapped the throne involuntarily. He seemed calm, but his fingers could not help but tremble slightly.

He already knew a lot about how powerful the Eighth Route Army in Jin was. Operation Zero concentrated such a strong combat cluster, but it was defeated before it even entered the enemy's territory!

In other words, he doesn't know yet that Shimen and Jizhou are actually under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and even the entire Ji-Zhong Plain is about to change hands, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to maintain his position.

"Your Majesty, the main forces of Operation Bagration initiated by Big Bear are stuck in Warsaw and the Balkans, and will inevitably be tied down for at least half a year. In our Far East, Big Bear has mobilized new troops, which are especially lacking in heavy firepower such as tanks and heavy artillery. They are now fighting a decisive battle on the Eastern Front. According to the fortress defense line we have built, the probability of Big Bear's attack and breakthrough in the Far East is very low, and it cannot be done in the short term. Our border defense can hold out for more than half a year even without support. With so much time, even the Kwantung Army will have time to return." said the head of the Japanese military.

"What we are worried about now is that such a large-scale operation will consume weapons, ammunition and supplies, which may greatly reduce inventory, thus affecting support for the Nanyang operation. Now that we are fighting on two fronts, the military industry's production capacity is no longer enough to support two large-scale battlefields. Therefore, for the decisive battle in Jindi, we must be decisive and use all our strength to solve them in one fell swoop, otherwise North China will completely lose control, leading to a huge change in our entire situation in Northeast Asia."

"North China is also very important to us now. The mysterious rockets of the Eighth Route Army have posed a serious threat to the empire, even more destructive than the bombing of the Allies. Their new weapons are devastating to our cities. We don't know the maximum range of this rocket yet, and whether it poses a threat to Dongjin, but we can't gamble anymore."

"According to their development speed, the progress is really too fast. From the initial attack on our North China Airport, the range was only 200 to 300 kilometers, but now it has developed to thousands of kilometers. We have reason to believe that they will make new progress in the next step. Our rocket technology research expert told me that the end of rocket technology is to break through the gravity of the blue planet and fly into outer space!"

It seems that the Japanese military leaders have done a lot of homework and have a deep understanding of these currently top technologies.

This made the old devil Tian Huang's face turn even paler. After hearing what he said, his life was no longer guaranteed. How could this be tolerated?

"This matter is intolerable. You ministers can handle it by yourselves. You must keep this provocative attack outside the empire's absolute security defense circle, otherwise how can the people feel at ease?" Tian Huang made the final decision and finalized the matter.

As for what to do next, the military would come up with a plan, which would be discussed at the headquarters and then presented to the emperor for decision.

"How could they have developed such a powerful weapon? It's impossible?" When General Shi saw the photo, he was skeptical for the first time. The lethality of this weapon was too strong. For General Shi now, this fuel-air bomb was a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Compared to TNT, it's completely on a different level.

"General, these are pictures taken at the front. I don't think anyone can fake them." The intelligence officer next to General Shi said, "In fact, I feel that there is something wrong when the Eighth Route Army asked us to send reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance. Perhaps this is a very subtle way to show their strength."

"General, the war has entered the second half. Whether in Europe or Asia-Pacific, the Allies have launched counterattacks. Our victory is obvious, but how to deal with ourselves after the war? I think all local forces are fighting for their own interests. I think this is the Border Region and the Eighth Route Army euphemistically explaining their value, just like they did in the past. They are showing themselves and winning our attention. They are almost successful. If it weren't for the powerful lobbying group outside the parliament helping to speak for us, I believe our partner would have chosen the Border Region long ago."

"After all, they are the only ones who have been fighting the Japanese on the front line, non-stop annihilating one Japanese division and brigade after another. In fact, since last year, the number of Japanese killed by the Border Region and the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded that of the Guofu regular army. This is their victory and strength, and it is also the strongest reason why we chose them." The intelligence staff officer was obviously fed up with Guofu and said a lot of good things about the Border Region.

"The higher-ups have their own considerations. We just need to do our best in these matters. In fact, I am more inclined to cooperate with the border areas. They are the ones who are really fighting." General Shi said after a moment of silence.

"But this is a large country in the East with a population of 400 million. Napoleon once said that it is a sleeping lion. If you have a choice, it is best not to wake it up. Obviously, if Guo Su controls this place, it will be easier for this sleeping lion to continue hibernating. If the border area continues to be managed by a group like this, maybe it won't be many years before this sleeping lion wakes up."

This is the politicians' plan. General Shi is a relatively pure soldier and actually doesn't agree with it. There are still thousands of Americans fighting on the front lines. It is really too early to consider these dirty behind-the-scenes deals.

"General, do we need to report this information?" the intelligence officer said after a moment of silence.

"Report it, but there is no need to include our opinions. Just report it to the domestic armed forces intelligence departments as it is. I can't care about so many things anymore. If the country wants to exchange this technology, I don't think there are many bargaining chips to exchange. Let those guys in the country deal with such headaches." General Shi shook his head. If he hadn't witnessed so many unfair things, he would definitely report this matter actively. But now, who cares? His suggestions are still falling on deaf ears.

If we had cooperated with the border regions earlier according to his advice, the current situation would be much more ideal. Perhaps North China and even most of Jiangnan would be in the hands of the Allied forces. It would be impossible for the Japanese to transfer so many forces to Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific.

However, his suggestions were of no use. Although the exchange of technology with the border areas played a positive role in helping the Allies gain an advantageous position in Europe earlier, General Shi successfully earned himself a general star and gained greater say in the Joint Staff of the Three Armed Forces, but that was all.

"Brother Ren, this power is too strong," Staff Officer Ye couldn't help but gasp after receiving the photos taken by Rogue Eagle.

"It's okay. We have achieved our goal so-so. Next we will take over the Qilu Peninsula. We have to consider completely opening up the passage between the border area and the Qilu base. I think the psychological impact of this thing on the Japanese is greater than the actual loss. After all, if we don't have the ability to threaten Dongjin now, the effect will be unsatisfactory." Ren Zhong took a look and was not too surprised. After all, he knew very well what the power of this thing was.

"This is of no use. With our current capabilities, we can basically completely destroy the western part of the Japanese main island." Staff Officer Ye said somewhat puzzled.

Ren Zhong shook his head, but it was still useless. The Japanese had great endurance. Not to mention these marginal areas, even when Li Mei was grilling Dongjin, the Japanese managed to endure it.

Only after the little boy and the fat man dropped their weapons did the Japanese soldiers in Tian Huang finally feel that they had no security at all. This kind of indiscriminate attack that could destroy a city with one bomb could not be prevented by anyone.

Although the empire could still sacrifice Yu Cui, Tian Huang did not want to become one of them.

"Do we need to exchange this technology with the Allied Forces?" Staff Officer Ye asked after a moment of silence. After frequently getting something for free from Rogue Eagle, Staff Officer Ye habitually wanted to get something back.

"It's not necessary this time. This is the treasure we have now. To be honest, this time it is specially shown to General Shi and others. I hope they don't make the same mistake again." Ren Zhong said with a somewhat divergent mind, penetrating the fog of history to see things in another time and space.

If possible, Ren Zhong certainly hopes to have the best of both worlds, reap the benefits of the ups and downs in the two worlds, and seize the rare opportunity of post-war development. He does not need the Rogue Eagle to tilt the technology and funds towards his country. He has the technology, and he can accumulate the funds now. As long as the market is open normally, he can take advantage of the opportunity to take off.

"What do you mean by repeating the same mistakes?" Staff Officer Ye's face was full of question marks. He was obviously confused by Ren Zhong's words.
