But what is surprising is that there are people who approve of such a ridiculous suggestion, and this person is none other than Okamura Ningji, commander of the North China Front. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For this meeting, even Okamura Ninji was urgently recalled, which shows that the Japanese military top brass attached great importance to this plan. Although the Japanese army was defeated one after another on the battlefield in China, and there was even a terrifying incident in which the 11th Army was almost wiped out, but North China became more and more stable under the management of Okamura Ningji, and the resistance forces in the jurisdiction gradually decreased, and the Eighth Route Army also turned from behind enemy lines to the front with his suppression, and the entire North China has been managed by him impeccably, and the base camp is very satisfied with his performance at this stage, just before this month, Okamura Ningji has been promoted to general.

Okamura Ningji's strategic level has always been highly regarded at the top of the Japanese army, even if he fought with Jiang Haoran several times, and in the end he lost his troops and lost his generals, but he did not fall behind in strategy, so his recognition suddenly made people look sideways, and the room suddenly quieted down, and everyone expected him to have something amazing.

Okamura Ninji first made an analysis of the current war situation, he believes that it is completely impossible for the locust army to destroy China in a short period of time, and the Chinese army has become strong because of the appearance of Jiang Haoran, but this is only a secondary reason, and more reasons come from within the locust army, a large number of veterans have died in battle, more than one-third of the 17 permanent divisions have been completely annihilated, and the combat capability of the locust army has declined as a whole. Soldiers as young as fifteen years old abound in the newly formed army, and they are no longer able to form an elite effect.

Moreover, excessive conscription has caused a large number of skilled workers in China to be forced into the battlefield, and production and manufacturing capacity has also declined year by year.

Although the locust army has occupied Southeast Asia, the turbulent situation in Myanmar has made it impossible to convert all kinds of resources in the occupied areas into production capacity in a short period of time, and the shortage of materials is still the biggest threat to the island country.

In terms of weapons and high technology, the locust army is greatly behind the Chinese army, AK47, Tiger tanks, helicopters, Mustang fighters, missiles, napalm, etc., Chinese emerge in an endless stream, which simply makes the locust army dizzy, fortunately their industry is backward, all weapons can not achieve large-scale production, but this situation can not be maintained for too long, they have the strong support of the United States and Britain, and all kinds of weapons and equipment will soon meet the needs of the battlefield.

The most embarrassing thing in front of the locust army is the backwardness of weapons, the defeat of the Wuhan battle and the defeat of the two Burmese armies in the Shan Plateau, the vast majority of the reasons are the loss of backward weapons, but at this stage the locust army is still in the research and development stage of these weapons, and it will take at least half a year or more to reach the level of the Chinese army's equipment.

But this time Chinese will not wait for you, maybe tomorrow there will be news of the expeditionary force attacking Mandalay, maybe there is no need for more high-end weapons, dozens of napalm will make Mandalay face the loss again, followed by Yangon, once the locust army loses Myanmar, the expeditionary force's front will immediately point to the entire Southeast Asia, and the United States after more than half a year of rest, the Pacific Fleet has basically recovered, plus their current strategic goals have begun to shift to Asia, when the time comes, the land and water armies will go hand in hand, All of Southeast Asia is at stake.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji believes that accepting the German army's proposal may be the only way out for the locust army, and as long as Hitler's conditions are suitable, the locust army can temporarily abandon the Chinese battlefield, go north to the Soviet Union, attack Siberia, and flank the Soviet Union with the German army.

After solving the Soviet Union, the locust army will go back to clean up China, and the German army can also free up a large number of troops to invade Africa and India, and the possibility of a German-Japanese and Indian division will become a reality again, at that time, the Chinese battlefield will be completely isolated, the Soviet Union will no longer exist, and the United States and Britain will not be able to take care of themselves, and the locust army will completely blockade the coastline, and then unite the German army to carry out strategic encirclement and all-out attack on China from the northeast and southwest. It may still be difficult in the early stage, because they still have generals like Jiang Haoran who can fight well, and they also have unrivaled armies like special operations divisions.

But this situation is absolutely impossible to last too long, the shortage of materials will become their hard wounds, especially fuel, Jiang Haoran's troops have a very high degree of mechanization, once there is no fuel, the combat effectiveness will drop sharply, at the same time, their planes, tanks, helicopters and other cutting-edge weapons will also become scrap metal because of the shortage of fuel, at that time, the locust army will clean them up without much effort.

Okamura Ninji's simple point of view immediately gained a lot of approval, but opposition is still the mainstream.

If it is implemented according to Okamura Ninji's plan, it means that the locust army will overturn everything that has been done on the battlefield in China, this is more than ten years of hard work, manpower, and materials are not known, once you give up, you will have to start again in the future, the current national strength is far inferior to the beginning, does the empire still have the ability to continue this war?

Besides, these problems are all one-sided conjectures of Okamura Ningji, and there is no shortage of capable people in the Chongqing government, so wouldn't they think of this? In other words, will they be able to agree to the peace of the locust army? Even if they agree, it will be a lion's mouth, and if they let the locust army withdraw from the three eastern provinces, will the locust army also agree?

There are also some people who, without saying any reason, refuse to accept Okamura Ninji's plan because it does not conform to the original intention of the Locust Army, and when it comes to this, we have to mention the original intention of the Japanese army.

For a long time, there has been a historical question that has plagued the Chinese, when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was very weak, and if the island army took advantage of the weakness to attack the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was likely to perish. But the island army missed this great opportunity, but went to challenge the world's number one power, the United States, which is simply absurd, why is this?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the goal of the island people is to occupy East Asia and establish their so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", and nothing else, and the island army has never intended to attack the Soviet Union. In fact, the "Zhang Gufeng Incident" and the "Nomenkan Incident" created by the island army were all tentative attacks, and their purpose was to intimidate the Soviets; although the island army did set the Soviet Union as the first imaginary enemy, this did not mean that they wanted to invade the Soviet Union.

The long-term strategic thinking of the island army is to squeeze out the influence of Europe and the United States in East Asia, which is the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity." When he captured the southern part of the Kanto, he had already completed the strategic "northward march". They believed that it was enough for them to teach the Soviet Union a lesson, that the Soviet Union would retreat in the face of difficulties, and that it would be enough for them to preserve the fruits of victory in the southern part of the Kanto, just like the Russo-Japanese War not long ago.
