Chapter 282: The Sino-Japanese War Prepared in Advance

"Thank you to the general for his zeal. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Chen Wenqiang waved his hand and said: "As the general said, the US government does have doubts about whether China can play a role in containing Japan, but this is unnecessary, and the time to prove this is not far off." Therefore, China is desperate to lose some rights and interests to win the support of the United States and Germany. ”

Homer listened to Chen Wenqiang's words, fell into deep thought, and after a while, Huo Ran raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Shandong, Qingdao, the confrontation between China and Japan is very likely here, and the proof you are talking about is to fight Japan here?" ”

Chen Wenqiang stretched out his thumb and had to admire the flexibility and wisdom of this disabled man's mind, although from the Anglo-German war, then to the Anglo-Japanese alliance, then to the war between Japan and Germany, and then to Qingdao, which was occupied by Germany in China, after a long period of research, it is somewhat logical to come to such a conclusion.

But it requires a strategic vision, a very bold speculation, and being able to get hints in his own words, and thinking of this in a short period of time, Homer deserves to be a master of strategy.

Homer shook his head, also stretched out his thumb and shook it, and said sincerely: "It's remarkable who came to this conclusion." ”

Chen Wenqiang smiled mysteriously and said: "Secret, although this conclusion has been made, the timing of the action must be mastered, the army cannot enter Shandong too early in advance, but on Hainan Island, an anti-landing exercise will be carried out, and the troops who may participate in the war will come here in batches." ”

"China's coastline is long, its navy is not strong, and it is very necessary for the troops in the coastal provinces to have experience in anti-landing operations. Even Hainan Island needs a strong army. Homer nodded approvingly and said, "Mr. Secretary, I have to say that China has you." I was so lucky. ”

Chen Wenqiang smiled modestly and said: "I can't say that, a person's strength is really limited, and I am not so smart, in many ways, there are many people who are better than me." This is an indisputable fact. ”

"It may be, but you're indispensable." Homer Lee turned his gaze to the sea, was silent for a long time, and said, "Do you need me to make an anti-landing operation plan for Shandong?" It may not be perfect, but it's better than nothing. ”

"Of course, it needs the general's planning." Chen Wenqiang said: "This matter cannot be raised in the General Staff yet, and I must consider the possibility of leaking secrets." Moreover, the early transfer of troops would not only attract the attention of the Japanese, but also the dissatisfaction of the Germans. ”

"Well, as you judge. If Japan wants to attack Qingdao, how many troops will it use? Homer asked, "And the British?" ”

"The maximum number of troops mobilized by Japan should be about 100,000, and Britainβ€”" Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said, "We should try to use diplomatic means to exclude Britain." ”

Homer thought for a moment and said, "If Britain enters the war, it should be able to have about 10,000 troops, and for the sake of safety, I think it's better to take it into account!" Other than that. If the war expands, such a possibility is not out of the question. The Japanese have a crazy nature. ”

Chen Wenqiang was silent, this is something he does not want to see, although Japan does not have the conditions to launch a full-scale war, and its strength has not reached that level, but as Homer said, the Japanese are crazy. That is incomprehensible, and it cannot be speculated by common sense.

"If that's the caseβ€”" Chen Wenqiang said faintly, "Then let's fight!" If the war is confined to Shandong, we can simply repel Japan. If the war expands, then let it break out in full force, Northeast. Korea, Taiwan, where there are Japanese, the war will begin. In addition, it is also possible for the people of Japan to taste the taste of war, and you must know that we are not without help. ”

Homer frowned and sighed, it was a terrible scenario, a full-scale war would not only destroy China's construction achievements, but also inflict heavy losses on Japan. China is no longer the Manchu Qing Dynasty of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the mood of the people, the image of the army, and the prestige of the government do not allow the acceptance of humiliating conditions to negotiate peace. And Japan, on the other hand, will be stuck in a protracted war of attrition, with huge debts on their backs, maybe they can't go crazy like this, right?

"Moreover, although such a scenario is possible, we must be prepared on the one hand, and on the other hand, we must use various means to limit it." Chen continued: "It would be helpful if the United States was willing to take on its international obligations. Of course, the Chinese army must win in Shandong, and there is no hope for a pawn that is not in contention. As for Japan, I think they also need a respite, and there are many disadvantages to expand the war. In the Russo-Japanese War, it was Britain that gave them financial support, an all-out attack on China, hehe, they will not only be isolated internationally, but they may not be able to support it financially. ”

"That's right." Homer said half-self-comfortingly, half-confidently: "An all-out attack on China will inevitably lead to international isolation, and even his ally, Britain, will not support his ambition to dominate China." And a protracted war will bring down the Japanese economy; As far as China is concerned, it has a large number of people and abundant resources, and it should have the determination to support it. ”

"Plan ahead, no matter what, we have to do our best to be prepared." Chen Wenqiang took off his clothes with a smile, pointed to the sea and said: "The wind and waves will always come, whether to retreat or rush up to fight, I believe the general will make the same decision as me." ”

Hehe, Homer laughed, pointed to the sea, and said in a loud voice: "Go, there is a battlefield of the brave, and no one can defeat our will." No matter how strong the wind and waves are, they will be smashed on the reef. ”

For Song Xisan's ability and enthusiasm, Chen Wenqiang is assured. Now that the general tone has been set, he doesn't want to get too involved in personal play.

As for the training of the Hainan Military Academy, he is still very attentive. It will become a training base for tropical jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare, and the first batch of aspiring Nanyang youths and Taiwanese revolutionary fighters and youths living in Fujian will be trained here. And more young people will continue to replenish and become a spark, and when the time is ripe, a fire will be ignited.

In China, there are two training camps for tropical jungle warfare, one in Hainan and the other in Yunnan. The personnel trained in Yunnan mainly supplement the garrison troops, which is different from Hainan's. In addition, there are 10 young Koreans in the training camp in Hainan, who train particularly hard.

In order to guard against possible risks. South Korean students have all changed their Chinese nationality and Chinese names to sign up and refer to them according to their normal procedures, while Park Chan-yi, a South Korean, is stationed in Hainan and is a government worker, who is actually responsible for contacting the Hainan Military Academy to recruit Korean students.

After agreeing on a military plan with Homer, Chen Wenqiang held a special secret meeting with Park Chan-yi, a South Korean. The enemy of the enemy is the friend. This old saying is very suitable for the current relationship between China and South Korea.

"Although the environment here is very different from that of Goryeo, it is far away from the surveillance of the Japanese, and the military academy mainly conducts theoretical study and physical training. It can be said that those who go out from here are all elites, all tinder, and all hope. The Korean people, not the people of the country, will be saved sooner or later. ”

Park Chan-yi is very excited, and Chen Wenqiang's identity is very important. In the government of the Republic, it was a position under one person and above ten thousand, and his influence was extremely great, and the fact that he was able to meet him in person was in itself an encouragement and expectation for the Korean independence movement.

"I would like to thank the Chinese government and Mr. Secretary of State for their support to the Korean independence movement. It also needs foreign aid and foreign help. Since the beginning of history, the past dynasties, if it is probably the independence of South Korea, how can it be an exception. ”

Chen Wenqiang nodded lightly and smiled: "Self-unity." Self-reliance is the main force. External aid is just helping. You still have to focus on the development of South Korea, you know, there is no support from the people. It is impossible to rely on only a few elites. ”

"Mr. Secretary's reminder is very reasonable, these students will return to the country after they finish their studies and mobilize the people." Park Chan-yi said: "They must fight for the 30 million slaves who have lost their country. Their personal glory is the glory of these 30 million people. ”

"Yes, 30 million people, as long as one in a thousand people rises up to fight, that is 30,000 people, enough for two divisions." Chen Wenqiang changed his words and praised: "I heard from the principal of the school that these ten Korean students are very hardworking, especially the student named Li Fan-sok, who worked hard and won the first place in many attempts. After the lights went out, I tried my best to steal candles and read hard all night, but as for the nose bleeding, I still didn't stop reading. ”

"Mr. Kanguan once had a parting message to them: in order to study, even if they fall to death on the pole in the playground, or die of cerebral congestion and coma in the lecture hall, there is nothing. The main thing you have to be a person! We must fight for the 30 million slaves who have died in the country. Park Chan-yi said with some emotion.

The stick has this strength, and no one can not admire it. Chen Wenqiang nodded appreciatively and said: "In the future, the Chinese government will not have direct contact with you, this is to avoid causing too much trouble, I hope you understand, today's meeting, I also hope you can keep it secret." But rest assured that your requests will be reflected through other channels, and your support will not be interrupted, but in a more confidential way. ”

"If we start an uprising at home, it will be vital that your government supports our weapons and ammunition." Park Chan-yi said bluntly.

"Of course, this support is necessary and important." Chen Wenqiang said: "But to make arrangements in advance, you should establish more secret bases along the coast and stock up on weapons and ammunition in advance." Moreover, special courses will be offered in military academies on how to make gunpowder, how to make improvised explosives, and how to make rudimentary firearms, which are also very important for guerrilla warfare. ”

"If the international situation allows, it would be nice if your country's support for us could be put on the surface." Park Chan-yi said with some regret.

Hehe, Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and said: "It's not impossible, but the main thing is to base ourselves on ourselves, and hope that the South Korean Independence Army can raise the banner as soon as possible and set off a vigorous tide of independence in South Korea." ”

"Yes, definitely." Park Chan-yi clenched his fists and said firmly.

Five or six years, or seven or eight years, not more than eight years at most, this is Chen Wenqiang's time requirement for Korean independence aspirants. Of course, it is best to launch a campaign that cooperates with China's actions against Japan, such as recovering the Kanto region, and when the time for lend-lease arrives, it will be time for a real showdown between China and Japan.

Guangzhou, the place where the revolution was first born, is also a relatively economically developed place in the south, and is still the province where the government first began to implement the new land and new economic policies.

It can be seen that many of Guangdong's experiences can play an exemplary role, and some deficiencies will also be learned in a timely manner and improved.

China's problem is, in the final analysis, a peasant problem. Guangdong, on the other hand, was the first to implement fixed rents and fixed interest rates and was the first region to implement village-level autonomy.

There is a significant correlation between economic and political conditions. If land distribution is severely unequal, all political resources and technologies tend to be unequal. From the point of view of political development, this kind of unequal distribution will inevitably face a crisis of distribution in the process of development.

It is precisely in view of this that at the beginning of its administration, the Baath Party had a charter for implementing land reform, on the one hand, because Chen Wenqiang attached great importance to the political resources in the rural areas, and on the other hand, the government had indeed realized that the poverty of the vast number of peasants, that is, the strong dissatisfaction of the vast number of peasants caused by the feudal land system, would pose a great obstacle to political stability and the development of industry and commerce.

Before the land reform, most of the cultivated land in rural China was concentrated in the hands of landlords, and as a result, the political power and social leadership of rural society were mostly in the hands of a small number of landlords and gentry.

However, these landlords and gentry are not engaged in productive labor, and their material source of livelihood is dependent on land rent, and their special status and source of power also come from the land, so it is naturally easy for them to become local leaders, and it is extremely unfavorable to the government to exercise power.

Of course, some stubborn landlords were not reconciled, and even if on the surface, the government cut agricultural taxes, and it seemed that they did not suffer. But in the past, the gentry colluded with the government to transfer taxes to the peasants, and did not directly bear them themselves. Therefore, the state's fixed rent and fixed interest rate are a loss for them, and it will inevitably cause their opposition and resistance.

Rent and interest are the central task of the government, and all work must be done around this center. In China, the peasants are the majority, and if we fail to improve and take care of the majority of the population, governance will fail.

To this end, the government has successively promulgated the "Interim Regulations on Land Tenancy," "Interim Regulations on Loans," and "Interim Measures for Improving the Treatment of Employees," which have made specific provisions on relevant policies.

The promulgation of these regulations and documents has provided policy and legal guarantees for the large-scale double reduction and capital increase campaigns in various localities. (To be continued.) )
