Chapter 337: The First Shot Firing
In order to obtain more war benefits, Zhao Tiehu's arrangements for the Xinghua Army and the National Salvation Association were more orderly. At the appropriate time, the corresponding combat deployment should be carried out to maximize the benefits of the war.
At present, the National Salvation Association, which has won the support of many ordinary people in Japan, has formed a large number of rebel groups, but it has never been allowed to fight, and in many cases, these armed forces are used to defend themselves.
It was this low-key attitude of the National Salvation Association that made the Japanese government, which was originally a little worried about it, not only did not think about suppressing it too much in the face of the oppression of the Allied forces. After all, once there is chaos in the country, it is the Allies who will benefit the most.
In addition, the National Salvation Association, in terms of many real chaebols and emperors' descendants, has a bit of a 'show of rebellion and failure for three years'. And most of its members are the lowest level of the Japanese people, so why do those who think of themselves as high pay too much attention?
As long as these people honestly stay in the backwoods, the Japanese government pretends not to see them. However, if it threatens the rule of the Japanese government, perhaps the Japanese government will take tough repressive measures. But right now, it's obvious that the timing is not right!
After all, if an external threat is not eliminated, but instead a civil war is set off, isn't it self-defeating?
This time, the US military began to carry out several rounds of raids on Japan, causing many innocent civilian casualties and putting a lot of pressure on the Japanese government to deal with the aftermath. The need to resettle a large number of victims has also put a lot of pressure on the government.
As a result, the cabinet of Kuniaki Koiso, who had just taken office, quickly thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone. That is, to send these victims to the area where the National Salvation Association is located. Just send people over, and the government will ignore the rest.
In the eyes of Koiso Kuniaki and others, the Salvation Association is under the banner of saving the country and the people, so after these victims rush over, I believe that the Salvation Association will not die without saving them, right? The government has tolerated them for so long, and they have to do something for the government!
If the National Salvation Association does not help those victims, then their reputation and slogans of national salvation will be criticized by the government, and the National Salvation Association will deviate from morality and completely lose the support of ordinary people.
If the Salvation Association helps those victims, it will also be equivalent to cleaning up the aftermath for the government, which will save a lot of trouble and free up more energy to deal with the current situation of the Allies. In the eyes of the Japanese cabinet, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
I have to say that this move really forced Toda Nosuke and others to be tired of coping. In the face of the continuous influx of disaster victims into the National Salvation Defense Area, the management of the National Salvation Association has also arisen considerable problems. The most important thing is the shortage of food.
In order to maintain the situation of war that is getting bigger and bigger, the Japanese army not only plundered the colonies, but also plundered the homeland. With the territory where the Salvation Association is located, it is almost impossible to feed so many victims.
Fortunately, Toda Nosuke has been by Zhao Tiehu's side for a long time, and he also knows the truth of being prepared. Earlier, a batch of relief materials had been stored in various base areas. It is this batch of supplies that has kept the National Salvation Association alive until now.
It's just that in the face of more and more spontaneous disaster victims, the relief food of the National Salvation Association is almost unbearable. In this case, Toda Nosuke could only send a telegram requesting Zhao Tiehu's support. Otherwise, the good situation will fall short.
Even if in Toda's view, this is their crisis, but isn't it their opportunity? As long as they survive this wave of victims, the National Salvation Association led by him will surely become the savior in the hearts of the Japanese people.
What made Toda very grateful and excited was Zhao Tiehu's promise to allocate a thousand tons of grain to him. With this food, at least it will greatly alleviate the current shortage of food in various parts of the National Salvation Association.
Even while others were still in Mindanao, the first grain had already been loaded onto ships. With this 1,000 tons of grain, Toda Nosuke believes that they can survive the current predicament and even gain a greater chance of rising.
Hearing that Zhao Tiehu asked him to lead the armed forces of the Salvation Association and launch an uprising in Hokkaido in advance, Toda Nosuke also knew that this was the rhythm of him and the Salvation Association, really coming to the forefront, and officially tearing his face with the government.
As long as he withstood the most difficult period, Toda Nosuke believed that the future of Japan would be their salvation!
In a secret port in Mindanao, Nosuke Toda, who was about to return home by several submarines, looked at his wife and children who came to see him off, and he still looked a little reluctant. But he knew it was safer for his wife and children to stay here.
Although Zhao Tiehu said with relief: "Toda, if you want to take your wife and children back, you can also let them go back with you!" You should know that I won't play any hostage tricks, and I still trust you as always. ”
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief! I told Keiko that I would let her stay here with the children. I am relieved to have your care. What's more, Japan will be chaotic next, and I don't want to be distracted from taking care of their safety.
If our plan succeeds, then I will personally come and pick them up when Japan is rebuilt. If I have any accidents, I will ask the commander-in-chief to take care of them for me and let them live well. ”
If it is said that Toda Nosuke did it with Zhao Tiehu earlier, it was more to save his life. So now Toda Nosuke also has a little bit of a leadership temperament to save the country and save the people. He knew it was an opportunity for him and a lot of people.
This war of aggression launched by Japan has brought disasters not only to Asian countries but also to its own people. The large number of young soldiers who died has led to a sharp decline in the proportion of young people in Japan.
It can be said that in Japan today, it is almost impossible to see young people. Even many middle school and college students had to give up their studies to join the army and became victims of the Japanese war.
Looking at the families who had lost their loved ones, Toda Nosuke felt that he should do something about it. If in the past, Toda Nosuke needed Zhao Tiehu to urge him to work hard to save the Congress, then now Toda Nosuke is really engaged in enjoying it.
These new submarines will also participate in the next campaign to save the country and conquer Hokkaido. Once the Japanese army dispatches warships, these submarines can also play a deterrent role, letting the Japanese army know that the salvation country is not easy to mess with.
After all, compared to Japan's Kyushu and Honshu islands, Hokkaido is also a separate place from Honshu. Although the temperature there is relatively cold, Zhao Tiehu still knows that it is also important to Japan.
The most important thing is that if the Salvation Association can control Hokkaido, it will also have an additional supply depot for the Wolf Warrior Overseas Corps in Siberia. With the complementarity of the two sides, I believe that more will be done.
With the departure of Toda Nosuke and his return to the country, after giving the corresponding order. Many of the backbone members of the National Salvation Association were undoubtedly very excited to learn that they could finally go to war with the government.
As for these backbone members of the National Salvation Association, they all hope that the National Salvation Association will become the future ruling government of Japan. In that case, most of them will be able to become the new aristocracy and high-ranking people in Japan.
In the process, the Salvation Association's disaster relief continues. On the other hand, the Japanese government seems surprised to see that the Salvation Association is busy rehousing the victims, but it is also happy to see this kind of assistance from the Salvation Association.
After all, those Japanese chaebols and emperors, no matter how ruthless they are, know that if too many people starve to death, there will still be big problems. Now that the Salvation Association has taken over this burden, they are naturally happy to see it come to fruition.
But they had no idea that in the process of relieving the victims, the elite armed forces of the Salvation Association began to march secretly at night. With the cooperation of the Wolf Warrior Overseas Corps, little by little they gathered in Hokkaido.
As the farthest island from the Japanese capital, the Japanese army naturally deployed garrisons in Hokkaido. However, compared to the troops deployed on the island, the troops deployed in Hokkaido can only be regarded as a police force at best.
When Toda Nosuke arrived in Hokkaido, he learned that all the troops had been assembled in place, and he said calmly: "Order the troops and start the attack!" We will strive to completely take all the cities of Hokkaido before dawn tomorrow and fire the first shot of our salvation country! ”
"Yes, Leader!"
In order to ensure the success of this combat mission, Toda Nosuke transferred eighty percent of the elite troops of the Salvation Diet to the mainland. A large proportion of the members of these units were veterans who had served as prisoners of war and had secretly returned to their homeland.
Its combat level is undoubtedly much higher than that of the Japanese troops stationed in Hokkaido. The most important thing is the cooperation of the special operations team of the Wolf Warriors, and it is indeed not a big deal to take Hokkaido overnight.
When the order to attack was given, the first to act was the special operations detachment, and all they had to do was to take control of the military radio station in Hokkaido. Prepare a defensive counterattack for the Salvation Association to buy more time.
In addition, the high-ranking military and political officials of the Japanese army stationed in Hokkaido were eliminated. As for the troops and police stationed here, Toda Nosuke meant to persuade them to surrender as much as possible. After all, this is the future base of the Salvation Congress, and he needs more support.
Compared with other cities in Hokkaido, Toda Nosuke used the most troops and was undoubtedly the largest city in Hokkaido. And the first attack of the special operations detachment was naturally the administrative city of Hokkaido.
The cantonment barracks, located next to the city, is one of the targets of the special operations detachment. In addition, the city government of Zachu is also among the targets of the special operations unit. And a major force of the National Salvation Association has been deployed.
Although Zahu is a bit far from the island, many people still have a good idea of the current predicament of the country. In fact, many people feel that they are a little far away from the war, and they seem to be more reassured.
After all, most of the targets of recent U.S. bombing have been cities on the islands of Kyushu and Honshu. In contrast, the cities on the North Sea Island did not receive any air strikes.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Tiehu felt the need to give the Japanese government a shock. That is, the war they inflicted on other Asian countries is about to be staged on their own soil, so that the Japanese people can also taste the taste of war!
