The strength of the Northland Volunteers suddenly became so strong, in addition to making the Japanese side timid, the doubts in their hearts also lingered, and what they couldn't understand was why the Northland Volunteers had such a powerful army in just a few years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This change is so great that it is difficult for the Japanese people to understand this change for a while, let alone adapt to this change.

Or that deep down in the soul does not want to accept this reality, and even wants to anesthetize itself, suspecting that it is just an accident.

Indeed, it is undoubtedly very painful for the arrogant Japanese people to admit that Fengtian is powerful, and to accept this reality.

In just a few years, how could Feng Tian develop to such a powerful point?

Prince Zairen couldn't help but have doubts in his heart and asked, "Mr. Sim, I wonder how much Germany knows about the Northland Volunteers, why would the Northland Volunteers wipe out hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops in one day, and then seize the entire Far East?"

To be honest, I don't believe in any case that the destruction of the mighty Imperial Army in such a short period of time is clearly contrary to military common sense and breaks through the general concept of military affairs. ”

Ambassador Sim was a little embarrassed, and was silent for a long time before reluctantly replying: "Germany and Fengtian have indeed had dealings, but only in economic terms. In the past, Germany also wanted to engage in military cooperation with the two sides and proposed the establishment of a military alliance between the two sides. However, the Northland Volunteers refused, saying that the Northland Volunteers were only a local armed force and would not engage in military cooperation with any country.

Although Germany and Fengtian did not have a military alliance, this did not prevent the two sides from continuing to cooperate at the economic level.

In view of the friendly relations between Germany and the Japanese Empire, and the imminent establishment of a military alliance, some things can be revealed, although it is contrary to the agreement with the Sealed Heavens.

Germany had purchased some arms from Feng Tian, including tanks and other heavy weapons.

Judging from these weapons, it can be clearly said that the Northland Volunteers are very powerful.

The Japanese Empire is at war with Fengtian, which is definitely a bad thing. As a friendly country, it is necessary for Germany to remind your country not to fight the Northland Volunteers anymore, otherwise the consequences will be serious. ”

Hiss......

Ambassador Sim's remarks caused the Emperor and others present to gasp.

Germany, a powerful industrial country, actually bought weapons from Fengtian, and they were heavy weapons.

If this were the case, the Northland Volunteers had the most advanced weapons, and the defeat of the Kwantung Army would explain it.

As a key department of the Japanese Army, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, the chief of staff headquarters, had to continue to ask: "Mr. Sim, can you tell us about the performance of the tanks purchased by Germany and how advanced they are?" ”

Mr. Sim began to be embarrassed again, and reluctantly said: "This involves some agreements between the two sides, and it is indeed very difficult to say that there is a suspicion of revealing military information." After all, there is an agreement between Germany and Fengtian that the weapons purchased by Germany must not be leaked to a third party. ”

Of course, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace did not want to stop there, and said: "The Japanese Empire is about to establish a military alliance with Germany, and Mr. Sim is obliged to exchange some military information with the Japanese Empire, otherwise, how to establish a relationship of trust between the two sides." ”

Nima, threaten me with a military alliance.

It seems that Prince Zaihito of the Idle Courtyard has hit the key point of Ambassador Sim, so that he has to answer the question of Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace.

"Well...... It's really embarrassing. Ambassador Sim was reluctant to do so, and said, "There is no doubt that the Northland Volunteers have advanced weapons.

Let's put it this way, the tanks that Germany acquired from Fengtian, at least the existing artillery of the Japanese army, could hardly destroy these tanks.

The armor of these tanks is very strong, and even if these tanks do not fire, the strength of their armor alone will break the existing tanks of the Japanese Empire.

If in this operation, the Northland Volunteer Army used these tanks to attack the Kwantung Army, the result is self-evident, it must be a disaster ending.

To tell the truth, it was really not a wise move for the Japanese Empire to go to war with Fengtian.

As a friendly country, it is recommended that the Japanese Empire try to avoid friction with Fengtian, let alone fight with it, and gradually withdraw from the mainland battlefield. According to the analysis of the current battle situation, the Far East battlefield is winning one after another, and the Japanese Empire can continue to attack the Russian army from the Far East to the west. ”

Sim's words once again shocked the Japanese side, and the Northland Volunteers really had advanced weapons, which is not difficult to explain why the Northland Volunteers would quickly counterattack and seize these occupied areas in a short time.

However, it is difficult for the Idle Yuan Gong Jae-in and others to accept Sim's suggestion, could it be said that this matter is over, and the Northland Volunteers have taken away such a large territory from the Empire, do they want the Empire to accept this reality?

The empire has invested countless riches in this land, and won't it all go down the drain?

How much effort and years did the empire make to occupy these lands?

Coming to this day, suddenly in just one day, the efforts of several generations have come to naught in an instant, this contrast is too great, and it is difficult for Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace to accept this fact.

"Mr. Sim, your view is unacceptable to the Empire, and the Empire cannot stop fighting with the Northland Volunteers just because they have a strong armed force." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said with resentment: "You must know that the empire is an island country with limited strategic resources, and if you want to become a military power, you must occupy the mainland in order to solve the problem of the shortage of resources in the empire. Besides, the Northland Volunteers cut off the Far East railway transportation line, how can the supply of the Far East Army of the empire be guaranteed? ”

Yes, Japan is an island country with a lack of resources, and it is in great need of the mainland's resources.

Withdrawing from the mainland would also result in the loss of the supply of resources, which was not in line with the overall strategic thinking of the Japanese and Japanese countries.

What Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace said was what the Emperor and others wanted to say, so everyone's eyes were focused on Ambassador Simiki.

Ambassador Sim smiled and said, "I know a little bit about your country's strategy, but this is not a contradiction, let's talk about the first question first.

There can be no doubt that war requires resources.

However, resources are not only available on the opposite continent, but everywhere in the world.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, is there still a shortage of mineral deposits in the United States, and why does your country have no plans to attack the United States?

Including the places where your country fought in the Far East, continuing to the west, where there are large deposits of oil and minerals.

On the other hand, some weak countries in Asia are not short of resources, and many islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Indochina Peninsula are not small in size.

Undoubtedly, it is much easier to occupy Southeast Asia.

Besides, when the Japanese Empire has strategic resources, there will be capital to compete with the big powers, this is a matter of priority, and your country seems to put the cart before the horse, gnawing hard bones first, which is a bit unwise. ”

The Emperor and others were savoring Sim's words, and it was not for nothing that they thought about it. After all, what Sim said was true, those small countries in Asia are very weak, but they are very rich in resources, and it is relatively easy for the empire to send troops to occupy these areas.

It is not unreasonable to occupy the continent first, the prerequisite is that the opponent must be defeated, the problem is that now there are setbacks, and the war seems unsustainable.

Continuing to fight with Feng Tian, the empire does not have enough troops for the time being, if Feng Tian is really strong, even if the empire has enough troops, the outcome is unpredictable.

In this analysis, Sim's suggestion is still very constructive.

However, neither the emperor nor the members of the cabinet were willing to stop the war.

Although Prince Zairen of the Idle Palace thought so in his heart, he still had to dig up some information about Ambassador Sim and continued to ask, "Mr. Sim, let me talk about the second question. ”

"Well, then let's talk about how the problems of the Far East can be solved." Ambassador Sim was a little helpless, so he could only continue: "Actually, the survival of the Imperial Army in the Far East Battlefield is maintained in the hands of the Northland Volunteers, and if your country improves its relationship with Fengtian, I think there will be no danger. The logistical supply of the Far Eastern Army is not impossible to solve, there are two ways to solve it, and the specific way to adopt will be chosen according to the actual situation of your country.

Although the Northland Volunteers occupied the coastal area and cut off the railway line, your country could open a new transportation line along Sakhalin, which, of course, was difficult to follow, and it would take time and money to build the railway.

And the other way, it is necessary to deal with Fengtian.

You should know that Feng Tian is very greedy for money, especially for gold, as long as your country takes out gold for trading, it should not be a problem.

For the sake of war, it also costs money for your country to transport supplies and ammunition from the mainland, and it also costs money to transport it from the Northland Volunteers, in fact, it is the same, anyway, it costs money. ”

At this point, Ambassador Sim spread his hands and said that he was done.

Although Sim's words were finished, the room was quiet, and no one spoke, probably thinking.

Opening another passage from Sakhalin is actually not going to work.

First of all, the environment there was harsh, it took time and a lot of manpower and material resources to build a railway, the empire did not have the money to build a railway, and the army could not afford to wait.

Without the construction of the railway, the existing conditions would not be able to guarantee transportation, so the emperor and everyone else vetoed this article directly.

As for the second way, Nima, it is simply unbelievable, the empire wants to make a deal with the enemy and buy the heavens to ensure the logistics and supply of the Far Eastern Army, which is obviously a bit fantastical.

Let's not talk about whether my side is willing or not, as an opponent and an enemy, will Fengtian help the Great Nichi Empire?

Therefore, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace directly retorted, saying: "Mr. Sim's words are a bit hasty, the empire and Feng Tian are almost mortal enemies, and it is impossible to reach an agreement on this issue no matter what, Feng Tian can't wait for all the empire's troops to starve to death in the Far East, and he will not replenish supplies for the imperial army, and Feng Tian will not send troops to attack the imperial army, which is already thank God." The fact that the empire can come up with enough gold to buy off the heavens is a bit of a fantasy. ”

Ambassador Sim disagreed, smiled, and said, "The Prince's words obviously belong to the Eastern thinking, and in the eyes of us Westerners, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and the premise is that there must be money.

Yes, before this, the Northland Volunteers and your country were still at war, but the war is a matter for both sides, and if one side does not want to fight, should the other side have to fight?

The most critical question, probably you haven't noticed, is that China is a very peculiar country, their thinking is different from most countries in the world, their thinking is introverted, and it is difficult for the outside world to change it. ”

Shenma meant, Sim's words were a bit cloudy, and Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace and others did not understand the meaning.

After talking for a long time, a thinking question popped up, does war have anything to do with thinking?

The Minister of War Hayashi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Sim, can you make it clear, what does this have to do with thinking?" ”

Ambassador Sim pursed his lips and raised a middle finger in his heart, despising these little dwarfs for being brainless, but said: "Probably you haven't noticed this fact, Feng Tian's counterattack, the territory he took back turned out to be the territory that originally belonged to China.

According to Feng Tian's ability, he may be able to recover more land, but he did not do so.

If you follow the thinking of both sides of the world, the territory recaptured after the counteroffensive is far more than some, for example, all the way to the east, including Sakhalin, and most of the eastern part of the country is in your hands.

Chinese feel that their territory is big enough, plus they are inward-looking by nature, and rarely have the idea of expanding outward.

Their teachings, Confucian thinking has been deeply rooted, harmony, kindness to others, face, reputation, these are the most important, the gentleman loves, take the right way, outward expansion is aggression, do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, this is not allowed by the doctrine.

Generally speaking, the people of this country lack self-confidence and are full of admiration for the Western world, whether the Western things are good or bad, even if they are bad, as long as the Westerners say that the things are good. Especially those who have read a few books, those who are so-called elite are more acutely inclined.

It is not surprising that only the elites will have easier access to the civilization of the Western world, opening a window in front of them.

It's like a person who is accustomed to certain things, and suddenly one day discovers that there are many things in the outside world that he has never seen before, and he must be curious. This is the thinking of ordinary people, who are interested in novelty, or like the new and hate the old. The elites must go to great lengths to propagate and promote Western civilization, because to do so it would elevate their status and make them appear to know a lot before those who do not understand Western civilization. The result of this will inevitably bring benefits to them, and the elites know this well.

We can even find some clues in ordinary life, such as an elite saying a foreign language, or even a few letters will be complacent, which can attract the admiration or envy of the people around him.

Even if a product has a foreign name, it can cause good sales, and it is obviously an authentic Chinese small store, and the store name must be a foreign name.

Actually, we all know that a foreign noun is nothing. Compared with Han culture, Western writing is difficult to reach, and in this Eastern country, people's thinking is really difficult to understand.

For example, that Wang Jingwei, who felt amazing after taking a little painkiller, didn't he call for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine?

A culture and traditional medicine that has existed for thousands of years wants to abolish it when it says it will be abolished, and it comes from the mouth of such a person who has the right to speak.

You should know that Western medicine is only a few types of drugs that are useful and have good efficacy, and they have only been developed over the years, and compared with the long history and profundity of Chinese medicine, it is not at the same level at all.

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Western medicine comes from the Western world.

The example I gave is enough to illustrate the mentality of this country.

History is very interesting, when the West was still in the era of ignorance, this large country in the East was already very civilized and developed. Ironically, gunpowder was invented by this country, and they only used it as a raw material for firecrackers.

It can be said that the civilization of the West rose on the shoulders of this great power in the East.

Well, to say this is only to say that this people have a peculiar thinking, so do not anger this people and let them continue to be docile like sheep, this is my advice to you.

Of course, for foreign aggression, it will arouse their anger, and then fight back, such as the current Fengtian, who is just a petty officer, because your aggression makes him extremely angry, and then pulls up the army to resist and take back the lost territory.

The country is too big, the population is too large, and if it is not done in the right way, the consequences are serious.

The Western world has long understood the essence of this country, and the Eight-Nation Coalition was able to annex or even carve up China, but they did not do so, but stopped in moderation.

It is a common policy of the West to divide and disintegrate, to support one side and suppress the other, so that it can continue to fight and kill each other, and history has proved to be a very good way.

If there is no invasion of foreign troops, perhaps they will move on to domestic problems, or even civil war.

This time, China's joint war of resistance may have already illustrated the problem. If your country had not invaded, would they have united? Ladies and gentlemen, I say this, you should understand. ”

Sim's words were loud and sound, and he woke up the dreamer with a word!

The Chinese are indeed somewhat peculiar, and if there are no external enemies, they will definitely fight among themselves.

The emperor and his ministers understood this, and the war continued until they invaded China. However, all this changed after the 77 Incident, and all the factions in China stopped the civil war, and they united to unite with the outside world, which caused the imperial army to encounter unprecedented difficulties.

I have to admit that Ambassador Sim is absolutely right when he says that it is time to stop military operations in China. (To be continued.) )
