Soon, the information of Tang Ning and Chen Yifu also appeared in front of Yuri Kazune, Chen Yifu's had photos, but Tang Ning's did not. After all, Chen Yifu used to be a big businessman, and he had a lot of favors and moves, and there were many opportunities to show his face.

It's just that Chen Yifu's photos always make her feel a little familiar between her eyebrows and eyes.

"In other words, now his family is also at the base in Naliuba County?"

"Hey! According to the information, there is also a special anti-inflammatory drug that can be produced there. ”

"Is that the kind that Germany once sold us?"

"Hey!"

Yuri Kazuin pondered, it seems that the energy of this Liuba County base should not be underestimated, but they don't know much about the Liuba County base.

"Send more men over there to investigate, and we'll get enough information to see how we can use them for our Imperial Japan." If you really can't use it, then it's ruined! Nor can the army of China continue to receive their help. ”

"Hey!"

In fact, Yuri Kazune can see it more clearly than Umezu Mijiro, and maybe it's a different angle.

In Umezu Mijiro's opinion, such a base will soon fall into their hands, and in Yuri Kazune's opinion, it may be very fast, or it may be slow, in short, it will be destroyed when it can't be collected.

As a result, both the national army and the Japanese army have launched operations against the base in Liuba County.

Chen Xiu, on the other hand, continues to immerse himself in the research and development of drugs and weapons, and expands and expands production capacity.

At present, there is a lot of surplus in the accounts of the base every month due to the support of medicines. To tell the truth, weapons don't make money at all, and if you just sell these weapons, even the wages of the workers may not be enough.

And the base escort regiment and the separate brigade were not idle. In the past few months, the surrounding bandits have basically been cleaned up a lot, and Liuba County is really becoming more and more prosperous, and the population is increasing.

This made the county magistrate Li very happy. This is all counted as his political achievements. However, he also learned that for a place to prosper, it must have a thriving business.

At the same time, Chen Yifu's old classmate in Hanzhong City was also surprised. He really didn't expect that such a base, in less than a year, could develop into what it is now, and he also approached Chen Yifu many times, and Chen Yifu said that he would continue to expand production capacity. For this reason, he is also planning to gamble on Chen Yifu!

Shift the development center of Hanzhong to Liuba County!

The whole of Hanzhong also looks thriving because of this.

……

On the evening of October 11, more than 70,000 Japanese troops and 27,000 horses landed successfully in Daya Bay, Guangzhou, all the way like a bamboo, even down to Tamsui, Huizhou, Boluo and Zengcheng, on the 21st has attacked the suburbs of Guangzhou, the 12th Group Army was defeated by the Japanese army in only 10 days, and ordered the defenders of Guangzhou to retreat, and Guangzhou fell on the afternoon of the 21st.

"Really!"

At this time, the high-level executives who knew the news before were also shocked.

"That's it."

As soon as Guangzhou is lost, the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway will be cut off, and Wuhan will be even less worthy of heavy defense.

On October 25, he abandoned Wuhan. The Japanese army occupied Wuchang and Hankou on the 26th. On the 27th, Hanyang was occupied, and the battle for Wuhan ended.

……

It's getting colder, and at the end of October, it's already autumn.

Chen Xiu got the result of the battle of Wuhan, in fact, there was no accident, and there were some things that he really couldn't help. However, after this war, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a stage of strategic stalemate. The Japanese army also had nothing to do for a while.

The war had just ended, and the casualties were huge.

Both sides, it will take time to recover.

In this battle, more than 400,000 Chinese were killed and wounded, and Japan 257,000 were killed and wounded.

For a time, the pharmaceutical business of the base in Liuba County was booming.

……

Taiyuan

Umezu Mijiro received the news that Wuhan, they took it.

It's just that in this big war, they have suffered huge losses.

You know, Japan is an island country, most of its resources rely on imports, and at the same time, Japan's economic strength is not strong enough.

At the time of the "77" incident, Japan's "gold reserves, including reserves for the issuance of banknotes, were only 1.35 billion yen."

In 1937, Japan imported 960 million yen of military supplies from overseas in order to maintain the war of aggression against China.

By June 1938, in order to carry out the Battle of Wuhan, "even the rifles used by school instructors were withdrawn" and used to equip the expanded army. Moreover, due to the continuous increase in the number of soldiers, domestic labor, food, and energy are all insufficient.

Moreover, although 1938 was not yet over, the war expenditure far exceeded their previous reserves.

The Japanese army, which already felt that its forces were insufficient, felt more and more insufficient with the extension of the battle front, and was unable to organize such large-scale strategic offensives as the battles of Songhu, Xuzhou, and Wuhan, with the goal of conquering cities and territories, and was forced to turn to strategic conservatism.

As a result, China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression developed from a strategic defensive stage to a strategic stalemate stage, and the Japanese invading army fell into the quagmire of a protracted war that it was most unwilling to wag, unable to extricate itself.

"Aso-kun, do you see the shortcomings of the empire now?" Umezu Mijiro frowned, as the commander of the First Army, Umezu Mijiro was still very clear about the military consumption of his First Army.

"Hey! Empire, there is no money. Nozomi Aso nodded, "Our First Army is okay, because of the construction of the custom street, we collected some money. ”

Umezu Mijiro nodded, "It is impossible to achieve a quick victory in the war, China is too big to drag the empire into the quagmire, so we must use war to nurture the war and manage the area we occupy as soon as possible." ”

"Hey! Your Excellency the Commander said yes. ”

"Bai Wujun's previous business alliance, do you think there are any good suggestions?" Speaking of Hyakutake Kogoro, Umezu Mijiro still feels a little pity, I heard that on that day, Hyakutake Kogoro was originally going to report on the business alliance.

"Hey, I think I can learn from it." Nozomi Aso spoke, "The empire has no money, but, overseas Chinese businessmen, there should still be money." ”

"Hmm."

"Promoting a prosperous business allows us to receive more taxes."

"Hmm."

"At the same time, if you can make a business alliance, you may be able to receive more money. At the same time, the prosperity of commerce will make the people of China in this region complain less. ”

"That's right. Indeed, if we need to run these places well by war, we cannot exploit them excessively. Umezu Mijiro nodded, "Let the staff make a plan, although Hyakutake-kun is gone, the overseas Chinese businessmen are still there, please refer to the opinions of the overseas Chinese businessmen." ”

"Hey!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, but at the same time, if we can defeat the army without a fight, it is undoubtedly the best choice."

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Umezu Mijiro's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?" It is mainly based on political inducements, supplemented by military strikes, and at the same time transfers troops to conduct 'law and order' operations in the battlefield behind enemy lines. ”

"Hey! If you can pay a small number of people and a small part of the conditions to let the Chinese generals defect, why not? ”

"You're right, Aso-kun, I'll report this matter to the base camp. The business alliance will trouble you. ”

"Hey!"
