Japan's standing army used to consist of 19 divisions and 4 independent brigades, with a total of about 500,000. This is the number "ever", after a series of defeats and financial problems, this number has been reduced to 12 standing divisions, and the total number has dropped to 300,000. This time, after losing nearly three divisions in Taiwan, the Japanese War Department was completely unable to explain to Emperor Showa. Hirohito himself may not really support a big fight with China in Taiwan, but it is the people of the War Department who have taken a hardline attitude, and there are even more Admiralty who are stirring up trouble in front like a chicken blood. Neither Hirohito, the War Department, nor the Admiralty could have imagined that China's military might have become so strong. The Chinese army, which was already fierce enough, soared in combat with the help of the Air Force.

It is no wonder that Japan has no knowledge, and it can only be said that Chen Ke is "well-informed". Even if he is a complete layman in modern warfare, it does not mean that Chen Ke does not know the military characteristics of World War II. How to build a powerful air force, in theory, Chen Ke is not as good as Du Hei and other great military experts in this era. But Chen Ke has at least read World War II memoirs such as "Blitz Heroes", and has also watched so many documentaries and some war history articles. He knew how the Air Force fought in World War II and even after World War II, and also knew some of the design features of related weapons in the war.

This is the reason why the BJP is able to surpass the world, from theory to practice, no one knows what will happen. Therefore, when theory becomes practice, there are usually many design ideas at the same time. This debate alone consumes a lot of time and cost. Chen Ke directly took out the system and even the system summed up after the tempering of practice, and then in the spirit of "take-it-or-leave-it" spirit, he directly applied the theory to the mature practice method, which is also reasonable. Coupled with his identity, as long as Chen Ke is not talking nonsense and can be self-consistent in theory, the comrades will implement it.

The things that Chen Ke uses are all things that have been proven by countless lives after thousands of tempers, and as an existence in the lower reaches of history, the more advanced the science and technology, the stronger his guiding role. This is the case, for example, with the Air Force. There have been many examples of strategic and tactical bombing by the BJP Air Force. Among them, there are even many cases in which the Nationalist army was strafed vertically by Japanese planes when it was on the march and suffered heavy casualties. These things are naturally handy when used on the Japanese army, which has not yet figured out a systematic way of fighting.

Of course, the Japanese top brass did not know these inside stories, and they did not go to the front to personally participate in the war. Since I can't imagine the elusive combat mode of the Chinese Air Force on the battlefield, it is full of tricks and functions. The Japanese top brass absolutely cannot "believe" that a few planes can completely change the shape of the battlefield, at least on the surface, they absolutely cannot express any belief. The army, which is twice the size of the People's Party, and the navy, which is superior in tonnage and training, have been beaten to the ground in Taiwan. If anyone "dares to believe" at this time, they will be held responsible.

Okamura Ninji's disgust with the practices of the upper echelons of the military department is incomparable, and just as Kita Kazuki analyzed, the Japanese upper echelons do not say that they do not pay attention to science, but that when faced with problems, they first consider passing the buck. It was only when the upper echelons finished passing the buck and held their subordinates accountable that the possibility of science appeared.

If the superior is benevolent enough, he will allow the subordinate to explain the failure scientifically, and use science to prove that the failure is for a reason. If it is a brutal superior, he will not give his subordinates such a chance to defend themselves at all. The problem is that if the starting point is wrong, even if there is scientific intervention, it is still useful.

Okamura knows that failure in China is not necessarily punishable, provided that the process of failure is documented in detail, including subjective attitudes and objective facts, especially objective facts. China stresses science first, facts first, and then responsibility after these things are clarified. Instead of doing everything around responsibility and results, as is the case in Japan.

"These guys must be killed!" Okamura Ninji once again confirmed his position, and if such a group of people controlled the political power in Japan, Japan's future would never be dark. Okamura Ninji was anti-democratic, and he also established the idea that it is absolutely impossible to oppose science.

After the intervention of the emperor, things went in a better direction. Takahashi was brave enough to take on the responsibility, and the 79-year-old man was adamantly opposed to the continuation of the war in Taiwan, advocating an immediate withdrawal of troops. The War Department released a few cruel words, "If Your Excellency Takahashi resolutely decides so, then we won't know what will happen in the future!" ”

However, Takahashi was not moved at all and insisted on his decision. Hirohito, under the persuasion of Okamura Ninji and others, also believed that it was necessary to "temporarily withdraw troops" now, so he also supported Takahashi Yoshikiyo's view. Now that the War Office and the Admiralty "don't know anything," they don't stop doing anything to stop it. The order to withdraw troops was smoothly sent to the front.

Okamura Ninji knew very well that the upper echelons of the War Department were secretly relieved. They knew very well in their hearts that the war really could not be fought. Not only because military spending has long been exhausted, but the War Department has lost confidence in defeating China. There is Takahashi is Qing to give everyone a step, and the War Department and the Admiralty hurriedly go down the steps. If it's any later, these big names really won't be able to get off the stage.

"Let's just let these guys be proud for a few more days!" Nagata Tetsuyama, who confirmed the news, said viciously, "No one in the military department committed suicide by cutting their stomachs, and they accepted the defeat with a dead face. Since these people are unwilling to take responsibility, let others judge the fate of these guys. ”

However, Okamura Ninji had a different opinion, "Nagata-kun, I think we really have to learn from China in this matter, they never commit suicide by seppuku, but they still win the battle." Japan attaches great importance to spirituality, despises science, and despises progress. The result now is that the Chinese have won many battles. I'm not against spirituality, but as Kita said, science is the foundation of everything. Nothing is above science. ”

"When the innovation of the upper layer is completed, Kita Yihui must be eliminated!" Nagata Tetsuyama did not refute Okamura Ninji's words, but calmly stated his attitude towards Kita Ikki.

Okamura Ninji has no opinion on this, and he also holds the same perception that Kita Kazuki's existence is more dangerous than those in the military department. Those guys in the military department are real bastards and stupids. Kita Ikki is neither a bastard nor a stupid, and Japan in the future can take out the feudal system, but there must be no place for Kita Ikki. Originally, Okamura Ninji himself didn't know why he had the idea of getting rid of Kita Ichiki, but after listening to the "Communist Manifesto" preached by Kita Ichiki, Okamura Ninji understood the real reason. In his treatise on "reactionary socialism," Marx said, "The main charge they accuse the bourgeoisie of is precisely this: the development of a class under the rule of the bourgeoisie that will blow up the whole old social system." They reproach the bourgeoisie, not so much because it produces the proletariat, but because it produces the revolutionary proletariat. ”

Okamura knew that Marx was not wrong. Kita Kazuki did not "merely propagate the revolution to" the Japanese ruling class, but propagated the revolution to the general public in Japan, and agitated for it. That's the damn thing about Kita Ikki!
