Chapter 026: Japan's Countermeasures

Hideki Tojo and the others listened attentively to Kotaro Nakamura's analysis.

Nakamura Kotaro said: "Now India has half in our hands, the United States does not support the supplies to envelop Britain for a while, and now to transport supplies to China, can only land in Burma, but the east and west are the sphere of influence of the empire, Qin is in the middle, there is a great security risk, if China comes to the last moment, the United States will definitely not sit idly by, otherwise they will have to face the pressure of the empire alone." But if we can take Australia, then there will be no foothold for American ships on the east and west sides, and I am afraid that there will be nothing that can be done to help China at that time. ”

"But you still haven't settled the Indochina matter, and what you're talking about is later," Nanjiro said.

Before Nakamura could speak, Anan Yuji took Nanjiro's words, "I understand, Nakamura-kun means to give up Thailand for the time being, we will take Australia first, block the Americans in the western Pacific, as long as Australia is occupied by us, we can immigrate in large numbers at that time." In short, no matter how powerful the Shina army is, there is no way to land and fight, and at most they are fighting on the Asian continent, and there is no way to threaten the Japanese mainland. ”

"For Japan, no matter how the Chinese are, it is just a plague of moss, and the United States is the country that can make Japan extinct and extinct the species, and now the war in the Pacific is not going well, if the mainland is attacked by the United States, then the army on the East Asian continent will also become the end of the world, and it is a matter of time before it is eliminated."

Minamijiro continued: "That can't be said, even if the mainland falls, I think we can go to the mainland, I know the situation there, and there is definitely the strength to fight." ”

Anan Weiji shook his head and said: "Once the war starts, unless neither side can help the other, one side will definitely win, and the other side must be defeated and surrendered, if our homeland has fallen, will the Americans keep us to occupy the East Asian continent, if he keeps Japan, isn't he worried that Japan will take revenge." Therefore, the idea of going to the mainland is unrealistic, and unless most of the Japanese people have migrated to the mainland now, we will not be able to confront China and the United States at all. The Americans will never give us another chance to rise. ”

Nanjiro said: "The war in the southeast, if Thailand is left to the Chinese people, they will definitely see the pole and the tree at that time, and they will also attack Malaya, Annam, and even the Liangguang region." ”

Nakamura Kotaro said: "The Malay Peninsula is very narrow, the empire is not the British, and the Shina people are not the empire, we were able to quickly take the Malay Peninsula because the British believed in the fortress too much, and did not pay attention to the defense of the north, so it was taken advantage of by Yamashita-kun, and we will definitely not make that mistake today." The Chinese people do not have a navy, so our south is very safe, the Chinese can only attack the Malay Peninsula from Thailand, and here is very narrow, in addition to the mountains and tropical rainforests in the middle, only the large-scale army can not attack at all, they can only add fuel and vinegar to the attack, no matter how many troops can not play, the Chinese will never be sent to death, Wang Hanzhang is not a fool, the army is exhausted, if you want to replenish again, it will take more than half a year to train. However, if the people really dare to attack, we can bleed them properly at that time. ”

"As for Thailand, we can do this, withdraw all the troops to the east bank of the Lancang River, and leave the west bank to the Chinese people, of course we will not leave like this, I mean we can use our chemical weapons to create a plague on the west bank, and when the plague breaks out, there must be three or four hundred thousand Chinese troops stationed on the west bank, if not, we will find a way to attract them over, as soon as the plague breaks out, at that time the Chinese people may not be spared, and we can destroy their hundreds of thousands of troops without destroying it, At the same time, those natives are estimated to be almost dead by then, just in time to free up a large amount of land for the subjects of the empire, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, as long as the plan is implemented properly, there is no need to worry that the Qin army will gain an inch, and what they have to worry about when the time comes, is that we will attack them. ”

"Horn ......" Hideki Tojo was the first to applaud, Nakamura's plan was very much in line with his intentions, and Japan's biological and chemical weapons have been tempered thousands of times, and they can be completely done.

"Yo Xi, Nakamura-kun is worthy of being the pillar of the empire, this plan is the best way at the moment, but in order for the plan to be implemented more smoothly, we should drive some natives from Annam to Thailand, isn't the resistance of those red parties in Annam very strong, no one, see how they fight against the imperial army, see what they eat."

Minamijiro said: "With bacteriological weapons, I'm afraid that it will attract criticism from the West at that time, right?" ”

Hideki Tojo said: "Your Excellency Nanjiro, do you have a better way to deal with the current crisis in the southeast, as for the protests of the West, don't pay attention to them at all, as long as these whites don't use them against him, at most they will protest, and they can't threaten the empire, not to mention that we have been using them on the battlefield in China, they have protested so many times, what does it matter if there is one more time now." ”

"Gentlemen, history is rewritten by the victors, as long as the empire can establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, we will not need those natives at that time, and there will only be Japanese people in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle in the future, and they will definitely thank you for the living space that you have expanded for them today, and will not accuse you of using bacteriological bombs."

A group of people stood up and said, "Hail! ”

After the Japanese military department reached an agreement, it was immediately reported to Hirohito, Hirohito was very satisfied with this plan to destroy the enemy army without spending a single soldier, in this case, the military department can come up with such a plan, it is indeed attentive, but Hirohito also knows that the use of these weapons is a violation of international conventions, so he will not approve it, Tojo Hideki only needs to do it, and Tojo Hideki only needs Hirohito's approval, after all, it will be evacuated directly, if such a big thing is not approved by the emperor, At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people who oppose it. The emperor agreed, and the emperor was the best shield, and no one would blame the emperor for his actions.

After obtaining Hirohito's approval, the Japanese military headquarters immediately began to make arrangements. They immediately made contact with the 731 Shijing unit in Harbin, northeast.

Unit 731, whose full name is Manchuria Unit 731, is the code name of the Japanese invading army's bacteriological warfare preparation factory. In order to cover people's eyes, they successively called the "Kamo Troops", "Dongxiang Troops", and "Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Headquarters". Unit 731 was a secret military medical unit engaged in biological warfare bacteriological warfare research and human experiment-related research during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937~1945) and World War II. Unit 731 disguised as a water purification unit. Unit 731 built its base in a bungalow area near Harbin in northeastern China, and built a large-scale bacteriological factory covering an area of 300 acres. This area was then part of the puppet regime of Manchukuo. Some researchers believe that more than 10,000 Chinese, North Koreans, and allied prisoners of war were killed in the Unit 731 trial, but the number is disputed. On the eve of Japan's surrender, it retreated in a hurry, blew up the factory in order to destroy the evidence, and a large number of germ-carrying animals escaped, bringing great disasters to the local people.

Unit 731 of the Japanese Kwantung Army is a special unit prepared by Japanese militarism for bacteriological warfare, and occupies an important strategic position. The so-called "small Harbin, big bungalow" of the Japanese soldiers illustrates this point in a certain sense. In terms of size, it is the largest bacterial factory in the world. In terms of its status, it is under the dual leadership of the Japanese Ministry of War, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, and the Japanese Kwantung Army Command. The staffing is very strong. It has more than 2,600 personnel engaged in bacteriological warfare research, including five general-level officers, more than 30 colonel-level officers, and more than 300 captain-level officers. From 1936 to July 1942, Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii was the commander of the troops, Major General Masaji Kitano took over as the commander of the troops from August 1942 to February 1945, and Shiro Ishii was reappointed as the commander of the troops from March 1945 to August of the same year. All departments and detachments directly under it are assigned junior officers to be responsible, and some important departments are assigned officers with the rank of major general.

The head of Unit 731, Shiro Ishii, was informed of the overall plan of the Japanese military department, and Hideki Tojo asked Shiro Ishii to complete the task quickly and ensure that it was implemented as soon as possible.

Shiro Ishii has been looking forward to this day for a long time, although the troops are often used all over China, but Shiro Ishii thinks that it is all petty fighting, and he likes to play big, just like this plan is what he yearns for.

Shiro Ishii quickly gathered his subordinates and informed him of the mission, and the response of his subordinates also made him very satisfied, his subordinates are all fellow villagers, and these people have also been influenced by Shiro Ishii, and they have always hoped that their results can be used in actual combat and play the greatest role.

Southeast Asia belongs to the subtropics, and plagues are rampant in peacetime, especially easy to breed bacteria, Shiro Ishii can not only meet the tasks assigned above, he hopes to play a little bigger this time, he intends to solve the indigenous people of Southeast Asia at one time, and let the surrounding Qin and China not be spared, so that Japan can win the war as soon as possible. This time, Shiro Ishii brought with him all the germs that could survive in Southeast Asia, such as plague, cholera, anthrax, and tuberculosis. Shiro Ishii took three days to prepare, and then the Japanese Kwantung military aircraft were shipped directly to Southeast Asia.

And in Southeast Asia, Nakamura Akito and other garrisons also received the final battle plan, although they were very surprised, but they were certainly willing to cooperate with the fact that they could destroy the enemy without using dead people, and no one thought that there were any troops using bacteriological bombs, and in their eyes except for the Japanese, all other races should disappear from the face of the earth.
