The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Before boarding the plane, He Yingqin reported the incident to Chiang Kai-shek with embellishments, emphasizing the two things that this guy "has no chairman, no eyes" and "executes the Japanese general without authorization, which will definitely cause bloody revenge on the other side's war" thing.

He Yingqin can play this kind of tricks at his fingertips. He knows best what Lao Jiang is most afraid of.

Keeping following orders and standing on the top of the mountain is what Lao Jiang is most taboo about. It will inevitably lead to the boss's rectification. His methods are very powerful!Today's status is the result of life-and-death struggles, foreign wars are amateurs, and civil wars are also amateurs, but playing political means, there are countless masters in the world!

Killing the Japanese generals is also a big trouble. If it is a blow to death, it is understandable, and guns do not have eyes on the battlefield.But "execution" is problematic.General, it is a precious asset for any country. Today's war is cruel and barbaric in its bones, and it is made public on the surface. When such heavyweights are captured, they are generally treated with courtesy and used as bargaining chips in exchange for political benefits.

Now that Zhu Bin was actually killed, if his own people who fought in the future were captured, what would happen to him... Ri himself doesn't care if Zhu Bin has one heart with the Central Army!

Lao Jiang didn't express his position right away, but said flatly that he knew, and then urged He Yingqin to start peace talks with Japan as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the better. The central government needs time to prepare for war.

He Yingqin knew that the boss must know it well.If Lao Jiang was swearing, it was actually nothing wrong, it meant that he valued or valued him, and he didn't speak.That is to hold grudges ruthlessly, and absolutely try to knock them down or even kill them.Although he is already the co-lord of the world, the habit of being from a gang in the rivers and lakes still cannot be changed!Obviously he can act openly and honestly, but he has to use all kinds of sneaky methods, which is worthy of the fine tradition of the Tongmenghui.But he couldn't get on the stage.

He Yingqin despises Lao Jiang, but he can't say it out loud, because he knows that he has no chance to defeat Lao Jiang in this life.Although the Xi'an Incident led to the failure of Chiang Kai-shek's suppression of bandits and no chance of unifying the country, it also ensured his position as the sole leader in command of the country and the support of hundreds of millions of people.Coupled with Japan's "timely" start of war, his position is firm and unshakable.

The destruction of the First Division was so sudden that when the Kwantung Army Headquarters received the news, it couldn't believe it. It repeatedly sent reports to confirm, and even took the risk of dispatching a reconnaissance plane to sweep the battlefield. Speak up!

Kenji Doihara, who had already run back to the headquarters ahead of schedule, did not have the habit of committing seppuku.Although the first one suffered a disastrous defeat, at least he and the division headquarters were intact, and he was the first to test the strength of the enemy army. The loss was a bit bigger, and it was not a crime of war.

But the battles have changed so much in the past few days, and they have lost their ability to control the big troubles.Although several new divisions in the country are coming in a steady stream, 8 divisions or even more troops may be dispatched at a time to attack, but most of the confidence has already run away!

Hideki Tojo, who was gearing up to attack from Chahar, couldn't get up anymore. He knew the level of the first batch of people.Doihara, Itagaki Seishiro, Tani Hisao, Kazuki Kiyoshi, Isoya Rensuke, which one is not famous?The command and combat capabilities are top-notch.This can't beat the opponent, the problem is too serious!

Only Ishihara Wan'er had a sneering smile on his face, watching these people return in embarrassment with cold eyes. He knew very well that a major change in the Ministry of War was about to take place!

Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, aged ten years overnight, and he knew very well that he had reached the end of his job.Four divisions, plus garrison troops and 2 mixed brigades.A huge force of more than 5 people suddenly launched an attack, but caused 14 casualties. A permanent division or the Kumamoto division with the strongest combat effectiveness was completely wiped out. The 1th division was to be reorganized, and the garrison and mixed brigade All destroyed, the three major generals at the riverside choked to death on Ma'anshan, the commander of the Xiangyue Qing Division became a bare rod, the North China Japanese army was wiped out, and the opponent's loss?Unknown, but no more than [-] people.

Such a huge contrast, saying that the weapon gap and various accidents are excuses, for the Japanese army, losing a battle is a crime!

"All in all, it is our serious underestimation of China's resistance determination and combat preparations. I will bear this responsibility." Kenkichi Ueda bravely shouldered the blame, so as to prevent other colleagues from stepping down together.

As a good friend, Hideki Tojo knew that the future of this big brother was completely ruined, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad, and then became angry and shouted: "The dereliction of duty of the secret service must be strictly investigated! If the judgment of the Chinese army is worse To be more precise, how could such serious consequences be caused?! In addition, we still have a chance, as long as the heavy artillery from the north is transported, the local supplementary divisions move in, and the navy launches an attack to crush China, it will not be a problem!"

Check the secret service?First of all, Kenji Doihara is the unlucky one, and if it gets involved, Seishiro Itagaki, Yoshijiro Umezu, Minamijiro...a large group of strong forces will be implicated. Such stupid words are Hideki Tojo's elm head. It can be said, but it will definitely not work, and it cannot be done.

Increase troops to fight again?It is possible, relying on the advantages of the Japanese navy to contain its air force, navy, and even the main force of the army, and advance from the north in an all-round way, with obvious benefits.However, where can I find it under ideal conditions!

Ueda Kenkichi sighed: "Now we can no longer decide on our own! After Soviet Russia knows that our offensive is not effective, it must strengthen the conflict. The heavy artillery troops in the north cannot be withdrawn, and they must continue to be strengthened. It is best to continue to transport from the mainland. Specific , Listen to how the base camp handles it."

Looking back, he smiled meaningfully at Ishihara: "Deputy Chief of Staff Ishihara, don't give up the future and destiny of the empire, and take the responsibility bravely and proactively!"

Ishihara nodded slightly with a smile, noncommittal.

That night, when the Japanese headquarters in Tokyo got the news, there was an uproar and astonishment!

Emperor Hirohito personally came to listen to the five-phase meeting held overnight, and a group of imperial elites, both big and small, were sullen and frowning in the large conference room.Prime Minister Konoe Maro was ashamed and asked in a weak voice: "What's going on? What went wrong with the Kwantung Army's actions?!"

The Minister of War, Moto Sugiyama, who has been clamoring the most vigorously, rarely keeps his mouth shut. This fiasco was not without his agitation and fueling the flames. As one of the responsible persons, it is wise to speak less.

The chief of staff, Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, stood up bravely: "The battle against China lacked a comprehensive and unified deployment and coordination, and did not achieve the suddenness of the battle. Give the Chinese army sufficient preparation time, especially for the Shandong front army. Insufficient investigation and misjudgment of its will to fight are important factors. But the most important thing is that the weapons and equipment currently used by the empire are too old and insufficient. Under the sudden attack of special weird weapons in China, it is not surprising that the losses .”

It is not a crime of war, and the equipment is not good enough.

This reason is so good and powerful that Konoe Maro wanted to laugh. The equipment of the Japanese Empire is not enough?Compared with whom!Comparing with Germany is not enough, compared with other countries, do you have the nerve to speak?

He refused to believe that even if the poor country has some money in the past two years and its economy has improved significantly, military equipment cannot be obtained overnight. Can't compare to a country that doesn't even have a sound industrial base?What a joke!

"I can prove that what His Royal Highness said is not wrong." Minister Araki Sadao unexpectedly expressed his support, "Over the past few years, we have been paying attention to the growth of China's technological strength, and we have to admit that after getting the German , the United States and the help of the so-called gd laboratory of unknown origin, the speed at which new weapons are invented in China is amazing! So far, it can be confirmed that their planes are the best in the world, their cannons are very advanced, and the armor thickness of their tanks is thicker than that of all empires All heavy tanks are large, this is an objective fact. The empire’s research investment in related weapons over the years is not enough, we should reflect on it!”

"Not enough? What else do you want?! The financial situation of the empire is very clear, and in recent years, it has been fully supporting immigration affairs, and the investment in science and technology is already the maximum!" Kaya Xingxuan, Ministry of Finance, quit Yes, stood up and retorted.

Sadao Araki was too lazy to argue with him, and said to himself: "I think that one of the most important things at present is to step up the supply of powerful weapons to the Kwantung Army, especially heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery, and to introduce advanced weapons to Germany or the United States. Airplanes and engines completely suppress the air superiority of the Chinese army. In addition, in view of the shamelessness and arrogance of the Chinese side, we should dispatch the latest results of the Royal Secret Research Institute as appropriate and give China a stern warning!"

"What result?!" The former is easy to understand, it's nothing more than bigger and more cannons, but what's going on with the latter?Many cabinet members who have just come to power are not clear, and they have never even heard of the so-called research institute.

Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace raised his beard, stretched his neck with radiant eyes and asked, "Minister Araki is talking about the X weapon, and it has succeeded!?"

Araki Sadao nodded triumphantly: "That's right! In the past two years, I have focused on the progress of the research institute's work, fully deployed my forces, and organized the empire's top scientific and technological talents to work together, and finally cracked the key to the x item. Some of the secrets, and advanced powerful weapons have been researched! If used on the battlefield, it can play a powerful role in killing people invisible!"

In front of a group of imperial ministers and veterans of the noble house, Chi Guoguo preached the theory of "killing people". Except for Sadao Araki, most people really can't do such a weird thing, but at this time many people have already ignored it. Complaints, Konoe Makoto, Hirota Koki and others simply don't have the energy to worry about it. The militant faction, which accounts for most of the power, has heard the good news they most hope for!To be continued. .
