Section VIII Turning Point IV
High! Help the drunken and dying, the roots of the year fingers to move back and forth! , "Nishimura Junxu brushes Bi Mo Huai, I don't understand, if there is no civil strife in China, the empire will not be able to conquer China, the more stable the anti-Japanese national united front in China, the more opportunities we have, and now it seems that our opportunities are getting more and more"
Nishimura did not refute that this conclusion was almost semi-open, before the Lugou Bridge incident. No matter from that point of view, Japan's top leaders can draw the conclusion that Japan is strong, and this strength is not only a little stronger, but many times stronger, so Japan will think that as long as it comes in, the resistance of the Chiang Kai-shek government will soon collapse, and they can easily win, the old Northeast, the Shanghai of Kou 8, and the Rehe Great Wall. This is all evidenced.
But after the outbreak of the war, the Japanese found that China, which was originally a mess, suddenly became a united nation, whether it was bandits or warlords, they had to resist. The whole war turned into a big quagmire, and they stepped in. But he couldn't pull out his feet.
"Actually, we now have an opportunity to force Chiang Kai-shek to make peace." Tachitakanosuke said this drunkenly, but stopped. beckoned the hostess to take another pot of wine: "Come, Nishimura-kun, cheers." β
Nishimura waited for a while, and drank a few glasses of wine. But he never heard what the opportunity was that Takitaka-nosuke said, and finally he couldn't help but ask, "Ritaka-kun, what is this chance?" β
"You're still pretending to be stupid" Tatsutakanosuke was a little unimpressed: "Nishimura-kun, aren't you doing?" And come and ask me
Nishimura shook his head: "I don't understand, please also ask Ligaojun to speak clearly." β
Tachitakanosuke looked at him quietly, his eyes made Nishimura a little dazed, a little puzzled, and three points of apprehension, "Okay, I'll lift your veil, don't let people think that we have no one to send troops in North China, and don't let the Germans look down on our Yamato nation."
"What the German delegation is here to do. Isn't it just to inspect the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Xinjiang Garrison Army, why do you play to investigate them? There is only one reason. They were going to attack Soviet Russia. I have read FΓΌhrer Hitler's My Struggle, and he has long said that he wants to look to the East for living space, and he really did what he said, amazing, amazing. β
Tachitakanosuke gave a thumbs up, but Nishimura was shocked. He accompanied the German delegation to the Mongolian garrison and held talks with the German delegation together with the commander of the garrison, Naosaburo. Of course, he also guessed that Germany might have to take action against Soviet Russia. However, it is somewhat strange that Koritakanosuke guessed Germany's future military operations only from the visit of the German delegation.
"We have an agreement with Soviet Russia, even if Germany attacks Soviet Russia, we can stand by and watch Nishimura calm down and look thoughtfully at Tachitakanosuke.
"Wrong, totally wrong." Tatsunosuke shook his head resolutely: "I know that after the signing of the Soviet-Japanese treaty, some people in Tokyo thought that the next strategic direction of the empire should be south, which is exactly wrong. β
Speaking of this, he sat up straight, his face flushed with a little excitement: "There is a basic criterion for combat, the concentrated use of troops, according to this criterion, once a war is broadcast between Germany and the Soviet Union, we should fulfill the obligations stipulated by the Triple Alliance, immediately attack Soviet Russia, and drag down the Russian Far East troops." So that the Germans could operate on their Western Front. β
Nishimura was a little stupid, he didn't expect that Tatsutakanosuke's understanding was actually contrary to the mainstream understanding in Tokyo, which believed that only by going south could he obtain the resources to continue the war, and on the contrary, going north, Siberia was cold and lacked resources, which would not help the empire.
"Why?" Nishimura frowned: "We have just signed a treaty with Soviet Russia, which effectively relieves us of our obligations to Germany. We can wait and see how the war turns out
Tatsutakanosuke shook his head again and looked at him with great regret: "This is short-sighted, very stupid. β
Nishimura's face suddenly turned purple, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Tatsunosuke preemptively preempted him and said, "In the long run, our alliance with Germany is stronger, and Soviet Russia is our long-term enemy. In this war, the Reich, Germany, and Italy were on one side. China, Soviet Russia, and Britain were on the other side. Of these two blocs, Soviet Russia and Germany were the main forces, and once the Soviet-German war had a result. If Soviet Russia failed, Britain could no longer hold on. He is bound to withdraw from the war, and the empire will get colonies in the South Seas from the European powers in the re-division of its sphere of influence, and we will have the resources to continue the war. But the whole world stopped resisting. Will China be able to hold on? Chiang Kai-shek probably didn't have the guts. Nishimura-kun, this is the way to end the war, not to go south
Nishimura stared blankly at Tachitakanosuke, he didn't expect Tachitakanosuke to send such a message at all
"High Theory." In his dealings with the German delegation, he clearly felt the contempt of the German delegation. They believed that the Japanese army's equipment and tactics were still stuck in the last war, compared to the Germans. Missed a whole one. Era. "The two battles of Nomenkan and Zhang Gufeng proved that the strength of the Soviet Russian Far East troops was strong, and the imperial army was likely to go north to Fushan, and Inuyo Nishimura's brow was deep into a Sichuan heartβ»
"In this war, Germany was always at the center. If Germany is defeated, will we still be able to fight? Tachitakanosuke lazily added a cup to himself, and poured it for Nishimura.
This is to go north to Nishimura even if you make a sacrifice, and Tatsutakanosuke nodded with a smile, the sushi on the table has long been eaten, and only a few empty sake jugs remain.
"Nishimura-kun, hurry back." Tatsutakanosuke began to drive Nishimura away, and he had been here for a long time: "Leaving the guests there alone, but you, the host, ran away, I'm afraid this is not hospitality." β
"Li Gaojun, let's go over and talk together, Wu Xu and they don't need our help at all." Nishimura got up and invited.
Tatsutakanosuke frowned: "Not needed? Are they too arrogant? β
Saying that, he struggled to stand up, Nishimura went over to help him up, and the two of them helped each other out of the Kikuka Pavilion, and the waitresses they met in the corridor gave way, and the hostess who was in charge of entertaining Tatsutakanosuke tried to come over to help, but was pushed aside by the two of them, and when they arrived at the door of the Nishimura private room, the waitress who was waiting on the side opened the door, and the two went in.
Tatsunosuke peeked at it, and there were three Germans in the room, they were not wearing military uniforms, but suits, and one of them was accompanied by Qingcheng Xiaoshan. The other person didn't know him, and it seemed to be a turn.
"Standing tall and tall". Qingcheng Xiaoshan immediately got up and helped the two of them sit down. Turning Ze hurriedly whispered to the German ** official, and the German ** official looked at the intruded Takanosuke with disdain. This, the drunken officer, although the three present seemed to have a lot of respect for him.
"This is the head of the Operations Division of the North China Dispatch Army, Takanosuke Osa," Qingcheng Koyama introduced to the Germans, and then introduced to Ritakanosuke: "Your Excellency. This is Lieutenant Colonel Masik, the head of the German delegation, this is Lieutenant Colonel Yannick, and this is Major Werner. β
Tachitakanosuke bowed to them with Japanese courtesy, while Nishimura was much more formal, and he knelt down at the table: "Litakano-kun is the best officer of our North China Dispatch Army. β
"Gentlemen, when will your country's attack on Soviet Russia begin?" Tatsunosuke interrupted Nishimura's words and asked directly.
The three German officials bowed down and exchanged glances with each other, it is not a secret that Germany wants to attack Soviet Russia at the top level in Tokyo, and what Germany sent to Tokyo is a huge military delegation for the purpose of assessing Japan's military strength and asking Japan to launch an attack on Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war.
However, they were very disappointed by their inspection of the garrisons in Manchuria and Mongolia, and the equipment and training of the Japanese army were first-class in Asia, but according to German standards, they were very backward, especially their understanding and use of tanks. They continued to disperse their tanks, ignoring the success of the German army in Europe, which would have been easily defeated by the Germans if they had been placed in Europe.
But they also knew that only the top brass in Tokyo knew about the plan to attack Soviet Russia, but as soon as the officer entered the door and opened his mouth, he asked when he would attack Soviet Russia, which shocked them. "Don't tell me when". Without waiting for them to answer, Tachitakanosuke pressed him again, "I want to know, how do you want us to cooperate with you?" β
Masik pondered and asked: "Your country is deeply trapped in the Chinese battlefield, and the main force is attacking the Chinese government army in the south, how many troops can be mobilized to attack Soviet Russia?" β
Tatetakanosuke shook his head with a sneer, now he is not at all as subtle as the Japanese but sharp: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, Clausewitz is a German, and the theory of war is not a great work, you won't have read it, concentrate on the use of troops." The Triple Alliance unites our three countries. This war is a war between our three countries against Britain, the United States, and Soviet Russia, and if either of us and you loses, the other will lose. So we have to concentrate our forces first to defeat Britain, or to defeat Soviet Russia, and I think it's especially important to defeat Soviet Russia
"Why? Britain had extensive colonies, and the mainland was lost, and they could also rely on the resources and manpower of the colonies with the support of the United States. The war continued, so Britain looked very difficult to fight. And what about Soviet Russia, on the contrary? Stalin's purge seriously weakened the fighting power of the Soviet army, and he had few allies, once defeated. Soviet Russia had no choice but to surrender. Take a look at the map. As long as we conquer Soviet Russia, half of the territory on the map is under our command knife, can Britain continue to fight? Does the United States still dare to interfere with us? The Triple Alliance will be invincible! So I'm wondering, once you start attacking, what do you need us to do? β
Sorry, there is only one shift today, a whole day in the hospital, and I will come back at night, and I will go to the hospital tomorrow for a whole day, and strive to ensure a watch, and please understand.
