Chapter 407: Ambitious
Minoru Saito looked embarrassed, but after perceiving the awe-inspiring cold light in Emperor Hirohito's eyes, he had to stiffen his head and respond: "Hai, I will do my best!" ”
Kneeling to say goodbye to the Empress, Minoru Saito left the palace in a car and went straight to his cabinet prime minister's residence, ordering someone to inform the prime minister of the land, and the ministers of the sea and other cabinet ministers rushed to convene an emergency meeting without mentioning it.

On the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, it was issued to the Fourth and First Armies with a secret order from Zhang Xinghan.
More than 500,000 officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army, the Army, the Navy, and Air Force have intensively launched a beach-grabbing and landing exercise, and the logistics departments of various units have also begun to secretly raise and transport grain, ammunition, and other military supplies.
 *pig*pig*island*small*say; The Jiaolong Task Force also began to return to the secret base of Arthur Military Port because it had been sailing for nearly a month, replenishing fuel and ammunition, and preparing to attack again.
For a time, the four northeastern provinces and the Goryeo Peninsula were full of scenes of large-scale military training, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
The morale of the officers and men is high, and with the training day after day, the cooperation between the recruits and the veterans has become more tacit and skillful.
The combat power is increasing little by little.
………………
Jilin City, Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were standing next to the map to discuss military affairs, although the strategic plan for attacking Japan had been decided in half a year, but the specific implementation, troop input, and other matters still needed to be carefully discussed and decided by the two heads of the Northeast Frontier Army.
At this time, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army had four army groups, one naval fleet, and one reinforced air division.
As mentioned above, the units directly under the original command, such as tank and chariot units and heavy artillery units, have been divided into four group armies according to actual needs.
Because of the needs of the garrison area and the situation in which these four group armies were stationed, Wang Yizhe's First Group Army and Zhao Zhenfan's Fourth Group Army were given priority in the supply of soldiers and advanced equipment.
Among them, the total strength of the Fourth Army has exceeded 300,000, and the strength of the First Army has also expanded from the original 120,000 to more than 250,000. There are also more than 60,000 Goryeo puppet troops of the puppet regime that have been supported in Goryeo itself.
Not counting the air force and navy, the total strength of the two major armies plus the puppet army has exceeded 600,000.
Jiang Baili pointed to the map, looked up at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Among our 600,000 troops, the border areas on the northeast border and the Goryeo Peninsula bordering on the Soviet Union and Russia should each have at least 100,000 troops stationed at the border.
In other words, the army field force that can be used to land and attack the Japanese mainland can reach 400,000 troops.
With the addition of 60,000 Goryeo puppet troops and the navy and air force, the total investment in troops will reach 600,000. ”
"600,000?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said, "The 600,000 army is a lot less, but if you want to really conquer Japan, it is still a little insufficient!" ”
As a time-traveler who traveled from modern times, Zhang Xinghan certainly knew that it would not be enough to truly conquer the whole of Japan with these 500,000 people.
Because the population of Japan at this time is about 70 million, if the Japanese come to fight on the jade soil. The number of troops of appropriate age that can be mobilized can reach at least four to five million (without affecting the operation of their industrial production), not including the elderly, women and children.
Jiang Baili nodded approvingly: "Yes, I also think that it is too difficult to conquer Japan just by relying on these 600,000 troops, and if you don't do it, you will eat it, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Zhang Xinghan stared at the map and was silent, and after a long time, he made up his mind: "Since we can't eat the whole of Japan in one bite with our current strength, let's cut off one of its arms first!" ”
"Break one of his arms?" Jiang Baili's eyes were awe-inspiring and said: "What does the general seat mean to adopt a cannibalization policy? ”
"That's right. I have decided to set the strategic objective of this time as an opportunity to use this landing attack battle as an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy. The 400,000-strong main landing force was quickly deployed on Kyushu Island, which is across the sea from the Goryeo Peninsula.
Although 600,000 land, sea and air forces are not enough to capture the whole of Japan, it is more than enough to capture just one island of Kyushu! Zhang Xinghan said abruptly.
Jiang Baili lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and happily said, "The general seat is wise." Kyushu is the third largest island in the Toei archipelago, and if it were captured, it would be equivalent to losing one-third of the territory and nearly 10 million people to the Japanese. It will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to Japan! ”
Zhang Xinghan said with a hot look in his eyes: "Moreover, Kyushu Island is home to Japan's considerable military and industrial industries, and Nagasaki, Fukuoka and other places are all important industrial bases in Japan.
Kumamoto, Miyazaki and other places were the supply of Japanese troops, and the most powerful Sixth Division came from.
Most importantly, the island of Kyushu is separated from the Goryeo Peninsula by the sea, and is completely within the effective strike range of our air force.
The landing force can take full advantage of the air force's fire support.
In addition, the capture of Kyushu Island will allow our navy, army, and air force to base themselves on the Japanese mainland.
From then on, the entire Japanese mainland and its surrounding areas of several hundred nautical miles will be covered within the strike radius of our navy and air force.
It can further effectively blockade and attack and weaken Japan. ”
Jiang Baili said: "After that, we should also expand the army as soon as possible to improve the total number and combat effectiveness of our army, and at the same time impose training and pay close attention to the development of our heavy industry and military industry."
It won't be long before Japan collapses, and then we will all capture all four islands of Toying. ”
"The capture of Japan and the relief of the biggest border trouble of the Chinese nation is only the beginning, and if the Chinese nation wants to truly achieve rejuvenation, it must fight with the European and American powers again.
Morality and fairness, possession is in the hands of the hard fist, and this principle is still applicable from ancient times to this day.
The territorial integrity, sovereign independence, and inviolability of a country cannot be achieved just by shouting slogans, but only by fighting with real knives and guns.
Only by completely defeating militarily and being afraid of those European, American, and Soviet powers that are waiting around us so that they do not dare to look at the mountains and rivers of China, can we talk about construction, development, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In a word, if China wants to rise, re-stand on the top of the world, and regain the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties, it must first strengthen its army. ”
"Well said, only a sufficiently strong army in hand can guarantee the inviolability of the Motherland!" Jiang Baili nodded sympathetically.
"It's so decided, first lay down Japan, accumulate strength, and then compete with Lao Maozi, the Yankees, and the British, and we must have the final say in the Far East, we must have the final say in the Pacific, and we must also have the final say in Asia.
If possible, the whole world has the final say. Zhang Xinghan paused, and then changed his words: "However, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to attack Japan, we should immediately launch another large-scale recruitment operation in the areas of our nine provinces and four cities base areas from today onwards.
We will strive to be able to form 10 more reorganized divisions in half a year, and 250,000 to 300,000 people will come out.
When these units are mixed with the active forces of the Second and Third Armies, they will have at least 200,000 more fresh troops to participate in the battle as a reserve in case of a critical landing on the Japanese mainland! ”
"The general seat is thoughtful, I'll go to Minister Zang to implement it as soon as possible!" After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he turned around and left. (To be continued......)
