Chapter 331: Don't be an enemy
The Japanese Navy wants to withdraw from the war, and it is a good thing to say anything.
Jiang Weizao is a political veteran, and he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and often the more beautiful and moving things are, the more problems there are, so he asked quietly, "Peace is not easy to come by, well, it is a good thing, it is really a good thing, but I don't know what to do to not be an enemy of your navy?"
Yoshino Osa hesitated for a moment before he said with a smile, "From now on, if your country encounters our navy warships again, you must not carry out military strikes, especially your country's heavy artillery, submarines, heavy fighters and other technical equipment."
"And our imperial navy will also respect your country's territorial sea rights, and will not casually enter within 12 nautical miles, even if there are tasks such as reinforcements or transportation, they will be completed beyond twelve nautical miles."
Lao Jiang was also stunned, this formulation is a bit interesting, and the saying that "the truth is only within the range of the cannon" is vividly interpreted.
Before World War II, the territorial waters of 3 nautical miles prevailed in most countries around the world, which is equivalent to about 5.6 kilometers, which is just the effective range of many coastal guns.
As for 12 nautical miles, it is 22.2 km.
Why does the Japanese Navy say 12 nautical miles?
The reason is that they have analyzed many battle examples and found that the best firing range of the heavy artillery group in China is about 20 kilometers, so there is this statement, of course, there is also a disguised demonstration, because the range of the Japanese naval guns has long exceeded this distance.
Although Yoshino Jio was very proud in his heart, he still looked very respectful on the surface.
He was afraid that Jiang Weizuo would be angry, so he hurriedly explained, "In the future, as long as the Huaxia troops do not take the initiative to attack our naval fleet, then our naval guns and carrier-based aircraft will definitely not take the initiative to attack you."
"In addition, in order to prevent the Cabinet from forcibly ordering the naval fleet to participate in the war, or from requiring carrier-based aircraft to support the ground forces, I suggest that your country should allow the Japanese Army in the Songhu area to build a temporary airfield on its own, well, in the future, it will be up to them to maintain their air supremacy."
"But please rest assured, the pilots and fighters of the army have always been worse than those of the navy, and there is no need to bother at all to deal with them, on the contrary, please only ask your country a little, I hope not to be too ruthless, it is best not to use any heavy fighters, I am really afraid that they will be cowardly."
Yoshino Jixiong's words made Lao Jiang and Liu Yicheng dizzy, whether they are enemies of each other or not, and they are actually afraid of hurting the Japanese army's army aviation troops, causing their naval aviation to have to come out and show their faces, what kind of world is this, sometimes you have to defend your enemies.
While Major General Liu was dizzy, he remembered the cold jokes of the First World War.
It is said that during World War I, a group of soldiers was about to take a detour to the enemy's position, but when they reached the middle of the war, they were attacked by enemy snipers, and the soldiers were so frightened that they had to hide one after another. However, after shooting for a while, they found that none of their soldiers were injured, so a sergeant wanted to personally lead people to shoot the enemy's sniper gunner, but the captain who led the team did not think so, and warned them not to mess around, what if the sniper was killed, a real sharpshooter would be killed.
When it came to the last issue, Yoshino was a little embarrassed.
He made some sarcastic suggestions, "The commander of our combined fleet, Admiral Yamamoto 56, is very fond of your country's fighters, and it would be a very, very honorable gift to receive a Flying Leopard and a Flying Bear fighter."
Lao Jiang and Liu Yicheng were dumbfounded, everyone is an enemy of each other, and when is it good enough to give away fighters.
If you really send fighters to the Japanese devils, the industrial base of these bear children is very, very developed compared to Huaxia, once the reverse research is successful, where will Huaxia's air force have any way to live, so straightforward, so shameless, even Matsushima Yuki on the side feels ashamed.
Yoshino Jio also knew that his request was excessive, so he bit his heart with a cross-edged tooth, and regardless of the fact that there was another Dazuo who was also at the scene, he simply took his shamelessness to the extreme, "Zhongzhengjun, please don't shirk."
"We are also thinking about China, as far as we know, since the August 13 incident, China and Japan have fought a series of wars, especially in the past month, your country's losses have been extremely heavy, and the elite soldiers have also suffered a lot of losses."
This is the truth, and even Lao Jiang was speechless.
Not to mention that the elite pilots in China have almost suffered casualties, even Gao Zhihang, who is known as the Four Heavenly Kings, and others have gradually stained the sky with blood, and even the German mechanics who rely on him as the Great Wall of Steel have many empty shells left, and even many of the generals he once favored Miaozi have mostly died in the Songhu battlefield.
On the long list of the dead, many officers and soldiers were good students of Chiang's commission, such as Huang Meixing, Cai Bingyan, Lu Jingrong and Yang Jie (lieutenant colonel) and other young generals.
General Yoshino Osa bowed, bowed his head and pleaded, "Nakasho-kun, General Ishihara Waner let me tell you that World War II is imminent, and our Imperial Japan has gambled on its national fortunes, and whether it is defeated or not in the future, we all hope that 'Asia is the Asia of our Asians', so Japan and China must fight a bloody war one after another, and it is a very tragic and tragic kind."
Ishihara Waner?
Lao Jiang and Liu Yicheng looked at each other.
This person is Japan's first military master since the Meiji Restoration, and it was he who planned the "918 Incident" and started the war of aggression against China, and he is also the general black background of all military operations of the Japanese army in the past ten years.
By the way, before the "August 13 Incident", this guy was still the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese army base camp.
Matsushima Yuki was still sensible, and when he saw that Lao Jiang and the others looked confused, he quietly reminded him, "General Ishihara is nominally the deputy chief of staff of the base camp, and that is because the chief of staff of the base camp has always been held by the Japanese imperial family, so His Excellency Ishihara is the actual master of the military department."
"Your Excellency Ishihara, although he personally planned the Tohoku Incident, he was a well-known pro-China faction in Japan, and after the July 7 Incident, he once strongly advocated that the war should not be expanded, but after the outbreak of the 'August 13 Incident', he was severely reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor, so he had to be forced to resign."
With Matsushima Daisa's explanation, Jiang Weizuo and Major General Liu suddenly realized that at some point, the enemy can also become friends, it seems that Ishihara's energy is not small, and he is still very popular after his resignation, and this time the Japanese Navy withdrew from the war, maybe it was also from this person's handwriting.
Yoshino Daisa was not surprised by Matsushima's mouthful, on the contrary, he stopped politely for a moment.
Only then did he continue the negotiations, "In this way, only when both China and Japan are mired in war will the European and American powers be relieved of internal infighting, and the new European war, or World War II, will develop to the climax, and when the European and American countries are weakened to the extreme, will Asia have a chance to rise."
"Therefore, the Sino-Japanese war in the future must continue, but it will only be limited to the Japanese army and its army aviation, and the Great Japanese Navy will make every effort to prepare for war, and in the future, whether it is to attack Soviet Russia in the north or to occupy Southeast Asia in the south, only the imperial navy can be of great use."
"Our army in Greater Japan has always been known for being weak and weak, but there is one good thing, that is, they are simple-minded, so that they never fake their wars, which just makes the European and American powers satisfied, but China and Japan just take the opportunity to train troops, especially technical arms such as aviation, so that those rookie pilots who have never seen blood, after some actual combat tempering, will naturally become elite soldiers."
Lao Jiang was expressionless and noncommittal.
However, Liu Yicheng took a breath of cold air, the cruelty of the Japanese devils, he can be regarded as a teacher, he has only heard that the Japanese devils use living people to practice bayonets, this is better, and he plans to use low-intensity warfare to train elite soldiers, of course, this low intensity is relative to the Japanese Navy.
As for the Huaxia army, they have to fight with their lives, because Huaxia has no qualifications to refuse at all, otherwise, the devil will use burning, killing and looting to force them to comply, and finally become a toast and not eat and drink.
Seeing that Lao Jiang was still very hesitant, Yoshino Osa didn't bother to say anything, and simply released a bombshell, "Most of the fighters of the Japanese Army are outdated, even the latest Type 97 Army Aviation Fighter still needs the help of our Naval Aviation Department, under the instructions of General Yamamoto, it has not been implemented and produced for a long time, if your country does not use Flying Leopards and Flying Bears, they will have been waiting."
Lao Jiang and Major General Liu were completely convinced, and they all knew what the Type 97 land battle that had not been improved for a long time was like, and if it was about comprehensive performance, it was not as good as the outdated Type 96 ship battle, and these Japanese devils were good at dealing with their own people.
Type 97 land battle, manufactured by Nakajima Aircraft Factory, wingspan 11.31 meters, length 7.53 meters, height 3.25 meters, empty weight 1110 kg, maximum take-off weight 1790 kg, using Nakajima 97 air-cooled engine, output power 610 horsepower, maximum speed of 460 kilometers, range of 800 kilometers, ceiling of 10,000 meters, two 7.7 mm machine guns, can carry 4 25 kg bombs.
As for the soon-to-be-eliminated Type 96 ship battle, the engine power is 710 horsepower, the range is 1,200 kilometers, and a 20-mm cannon has recently been installed, which climbs from the flat ground to an altitude of 3,000 meters, and only takes 3 minutes and 35 seconds, compared with the Flying Leopard and Flying Bear fighters in China, it will not be too inferior, and if compared with the Type 97 land battle, it is several years ahead.
The two are not in the same dimension at all.
The Leopard I fighter, with an output of 750 horsepower, a speed of 450 kilometers per hour, an empty weight of 1.5 tons, a range of 1300 kilometers, and two 12.7 mm machine guns, so there is no need for the help of the brain, Liu Yicheng can calculate the result, even if he uses the early Leopard fighter, he can completely defeat the 97-type land battle.
I have to admit that Yoshino Daisa's statement is right.
If the Japanese Navy does not intervene in the war of aggression against China, the Huaxia Air Force will not be able to use the Flying Leopard and the Flying Bear at all for a long time to come, and Huaxia can also take this opportunity to train a large number of elite pilots.
While smiling bitterly, Major General Liu set his eyes on Lao Jiang, wanting to see how he chose.
How to choose?
Lao Jiang is also a little dilemma, but he still has some opinions on the gift of the plane.
He cautiously shirked and said, "I also know one or two about the planes of your navy, most of them are light fighters, because if the planes are slightly heavier, they can't fly on aircraft carriers at all, so even if the flying bear fighters are given to you, in the end, they will be cheaper for the army."
Jio Yoshino's eyes rolled a little, and he really wanted to spray Lao Jiang's face with saliva.
Your sister, who said that Japan's naval aviation cannot use heavy fighters, in addition to aircraft carriers, there are also land-based airfields on islands.
However, Lao Jiang has something to say, in the final analysis, he still wants to build a unilateral "armistice compromise" with the Japanese Navy, which causes Yoshino Osa to have to think carefully, so even if he can get the Flying Leopard prototype fighter, it is a huge victory.
However, Jio Yoshino was also hesitant and hesitated.
This negotiation, after all, is related to his personal promotion, because if he can't take the opportunity of this negotiation to prove his own ability, then even if an armistice agreement is reached, it does not mean that he can be promoted to major general, so he still has to be pretty.
Before he came to Nanjing, the Japanese Admiralty had already given the final "armistice floor," first, that China would not attack the naval fleet in the future, and second, that it would get the original Flying Leopard and Flying Bear fighters.
Japan's chief aircraft designer, Jiro Horikoshi, already had the idea of a new super fighter.
Well, it's almost a little bit of inspiration, and I just need these two Chinese fighters as a reference.
Rear Admiral Liu also knew what Lao Chiang meant, and it was a great thing to let the Japanese Navy withdraw from the war, but Lao Chiang was afraid that the Japanese devils would backtrack.
For example, while the Japanese army was conducting research with Chinese fighters, it was actively expanding its armaments and warfare, and once they thoroughly studied and improved Japan's active fighters, they immediately found an excuse to "the soldier is missing" and called over, and he was also the descendant of the Gusu Murong family, and he was the most proficient in "returning the other way to the other".
At that time, Jiang Weizuo had no place to cry if he wanted to.
