68 The Yellow Sparrow That Flew Away (1)

After the onlookers were over, the British and Dutch fleets also felt the need to continue watching. Now that the People's Party's army has landed on Taiwan on a large scale, it is not too difficult to guess how to solve it. After the Japanese navy suffered a considerable blow, the war was even less worth considering. Leaving a small fleet to continue watching, the main force of the combined British and Dutch fleets headed south to return to port.

This time, there was no need to send a liaison officer, and the Governor of Singapore met personally with the Governor of the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch governor seriously pointed out that strategy was not a joke, and if China attacked Britain with its army and the Netherlands with its navy, the whole of Southeast Asia would be in danger.

The British Governor of Singapore did not really take this highly antagonistic view to heart. The most taboo in diplomacy is that you will believe what others say, and what the Dutch say is as if China will attack Britain tomorrow, which is obviously unrealistic. The Governor of Singapore said with a smile, "The Dutch side might as well reduce the total amount of oil exported to China, so that the Chinese navy will not be able to operate." ”

This sounds like a lot of sense, but the Dutch governor is not a fool, and when he hears it, he knows that it is a joke. The Dutch can sell oil to China without it, but the Americans will sell it in large quantities. Not only the Americans will sell, but the United Kingdom in front of them will also sell in large quantities. During such a terrible period as the Great Depression, countries competed fiercely for the export of large quantities. The hostile state of the Netherlands against China is also the fact that the Dutch governor wants to try his best to make a profit, not that the Netherlands is really full of food and wants to have a military conflict with China. The oil trade between the Netherlands and China has not been affected in any way, and those who should sell are sold and those who should be bought are bought.

Seeing that the British side did not have any intention of endorsing the Netherlands, the Dutch governor understood that he had really been tricked by the British this time. Japan, which had been the most joyful, was now seeing defeat in the war, and Britain was the strongest, but it was the mildest in its approach. The Netherlands still has China's Wang Qinian in its hands, and at that time, the Netherlands was dissatisfied with the attitude of eight people who were not satisfied and had to bring Wang Qinian to justice, so they gave up in such a gloomy manner, and the Dutch authorities could not bear the face.

The military dispute between China and Japan is just something that has erupted in recent decades, and there is nothing strange about the two countries fighting, and it would be strange if there was really complete peace. Again, such a sudden deterioration in relations between the Netherlands and China seems strange.

Wang Qinian's affairs can't always be dragged on, the Netherlands wanted to deal with Wang Qinian in a high-profile manner, but he didn't do it at this time and continued to be high-profile. Even if Wang Qinian's attitude is like a stone in a pit, and he has always opposed Dutch detention in a high profile. On the fourth day after the British watched the war with the Dutch, the courts of the Dutch East Indies hurriedly opened and handled a bunch of cases with unprecedented "efficiency".

In the case of so-called "tax evasion", a fine was imposed. As for Wang Qinian, after fabricating some charges, Wang Qinian was designated as "persona non grata" and deported. As for the Chinese banks, the Dutch side has changed its original approach, no longer ordering the Bank of China to hand over all information, but prohibiting the Bank of China from private deposit business in the Netherlands. Within four months, let the Chinese banks hand over all depositors' deposits clearly.

This seems to have eased up a lot, but it has not satisfied the Chinese side, and bank deposits are to be lent out. The Chinese side did not bring money back to the Dutch East India Bank, but invested in the Dutch East Indies. Mainly aimed at Chinese enterprises, and now the Chinese side is suddenly asked to stop private business, and short-term loans cannot be recovered at all, so they can only rush money from China to the past.

There is no way to make a judgment in the short term about the troubles and losses suffered in the middle, China's banking industry has long begun to implement the independence of financial operations, and what Chen Ke is most afraid of is the recurrence of the fact that he once saw the leader who could go to the bank for a loan after approving a note, and there are strict regulations in the banking system. Domestically, if not bullish, the banking sector, which can be regarded as an important sector, has been treated in this way by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Even comrades from non-military backgrounds in the banking sector began to develop an attitude towards the declaration of war on the Netherlands. It's just that at this time, China and Japan are fighting lively, so this kind of noise is not too obvious.

The Sino-Japanese war around Taiwan did not end in a short period of time, and this is not that China wants to have a protracted war. However, Japan has the intention of exerting the strength of the whole country and also having to keep Taiwan. Since Japan was so insistent, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not care about prolonging the war with Japan.

Even after sinking three Kongo-class, the Japanese Navy still had no intention of stopping. Japan insisted on sending a fleet to transport more than 100,000 Japanese troops from Japan to the island of Taiwan, trying to solve the problem of the more than 60,000 Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army troops that had already controlled southern Taiwan with numerical superiority.

But the gap in equipment between the two sides is too great. Taiwan is mountainous, and a more suitable weapon for fighting in the mountains is automatic firepower. The Type 31 automatic rifle is a product of the imitation of the Type 59 submachine gun and the 81 bar gun family, and it is also the standard weapon of infantry in China after that. The bullet adopts a caliber of 7.62 mm, using the famous steel core cavity design in later generations, the steel core head also has an extension of the lead sleeve, although it will not be broken like a dummy bullet after hitting the human body, the hollow bullet tip is easy to deform and bend, and the lead sleeve in front of the steel core is displaced after the warhead is decelerated, which promotes the further instability and rolling of the warhead, and the human body will bear almost all the damage. Compared with the Japanese 38 rifle, the People's Party's Type 31 automatic rifle is simply a demonic design.

The Japanese Army and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army fought in the mountains, and the Japanese Army's 38 rifles fired one shot, while the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had fired at least three shots on this side, occupying an overall advantage in firepower. The Type 31 bolt-action rifle takes the path of accurate shooting. With the new coating process, the 2x optical sight replaced the traditional sight, and the accuracy also surpassed that of the Japanese army. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was hit by a bullet, and as long as it was not fatal, it was bandaged and could continue to fight. After being hit, the Japanese soldiers were killed at worst, or fractured at the least, and immediately lost their combat effectiveness.

If they could not fight for the mountainous area, the Japanese army would not dare to drive south. Fierce fighting was raging, and the Japanese were soon wounded and wounded.

The People's Navy also had no intention of trying to have a decisive battle with Japan. In general, the psychologically weak side always hopes to be able to complete the decisive victory through some "miracle". This has nothing to do with ethnicity, for example, Chen Ke was a casual player when he played games, and when he played against professional players, he always fantasized that he could perform at a super level, and professional players suddenly made a mistake. This kind of thing has not happened before, and miracles will always occur as long as you are willing to try, and the base of attempts is large enough. The problem is that naval warfare does not have so many opportunities to try again and again, just like the People's Navy chooses to turn around and run when it is one-on-three.

The so-called national character of Japan is that the mentality of the whole country has always been weak, and the anime of Gundam, a decisive weapon, has been flourishing in Japan for a long time, which is the reason for this traditional mentality.

The People's Navy knows that it is weak, but it does not have the psychological weakness of Japan. Every time you fight, you will strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy, and accumulate small victories into big victories.

The Taiwan Strait is relatively shallow, making it unsuitable for a battle of this class of battleships. The People's Navy has brought into play the mode of "fast air submarine". Four torpedo boats, accompanied by a supply ship, roamed the Taiwan Strait. When encountering an opponent who can fight, the torpedo boat will rush up to a torpedo, and then turn around and run. Therefore, the opponent of the First World War could not be called, and the air force was immediately called, and the warships of the light cruiser class were dealt with by torpedo bombers, and the destroyers were dealt with by medium twin-engine bombers. In other deep-sea areas, the Japanese went casually, where the submarine units of the People's Navy were cruising, and the submarine units adopted the mode of retreating when they saw an opportunity to shoot black guns.

What Japan fears most is not a short-term decisive battle, but a long-term war of attrition. After this pattern was achieved both on land and at sea, Japan's losses skyrocketed.

The battle lasted from June to July, and China lost more than 2,000 tons of ships, and the Japanese Navy lost more than twice as much as China. After all, it was torpedo boats that were sunk by China, and many of Japan's losses were of the destroyer frigate-class. In the land battle, Japan lost nearly 30,000 troops, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army lost less than 4,000.

The Central Military Commission was very puzzled by the strength of Japan's gritted teeth, whether Japan had taken the wrong medicine? Or didn't take any medicine at all? However, during the war, Japan tightly sealed off the internal information, so that the intelligence department of the People's Party could not find an idea at all. In addition to the continuous fighting every day, we can only wait for the last news to come out.

In July, the Central Military Commission made a tentative effort and ordered the air force to drop leaflets persuading the Japanese military in Taiwan. It is all about how hard the Japanese people lived, and how the Japanese conglomerates and warlords expropriated and forced the Japanese people to die.

Chen Ke has always felt that history has proved that Chairman Mao's attitude on the distinction between the Japanese people and the Japanese militarists is generally correct, but in fact it is problematic. The Japanese people themselves supported the war, and Japan had no means of resolving its own pressures other than war.

So he carried it out in the same way as propaganda warfare, and he didn't have much confidence in the propaganda warfare during World War II. During the Yan'an period, the party even collected reward paper printed with many leading cadres as writing paper. It's all too common to tear up cigarettes like this. The revolutionaries and the Red Army were not illiterate people.

However, the situation was very unexpected by the Chinese side, and on the third day after the large number of leaflets were placed, Japanese soldiers began to defect to the Chinese side. The news brought was even more surprising. There is a large-scale political struggle in Japan!
