On June 12, after Zhang Wei completed the affairs of Qi State, he returned to Zhongjing.
All the brigade commanders and division commanders of the Lu side who participated in the war against Canada arrived in Zhongjing to wait for the reception of the chief of the general staff of the Lu state.
Guessing that many people were going to be promoted to official positions and ranks, the brigade commanders and division commanders were still very happy in their hearts.
Zhang Wei first met with Feng Guohua at the air base, and Feng Guohua, chief of the General Staff, made many suggestions on Zhang Wei's hasty proposal for reorganization at the last meeting.
First of all, it is unreasonable to feel that the Chinese and Japanese mercenaries are mixed together, and it is difficult to suppress Japanese mercenaries with the same number of officers and soldiers, which is not the same concept as Japanese mercenaries with a brigade of each army as cannon fodder.
Secondly, the officers of the Japanese mercenaries are uneven in age, just at the level of brigade commanders, the old and the small, the gap in combat effectiveness is very large, and the good results achieved in Canada this time are because they are facing Canadian civilians and have achieved them in the case of our army's superior artillery fire, which cannot be regarded as their achievements in fighting alone, and the rewards and propaganda this time are obviously too much;
The most important thing is that the language communication is not very smooth, which affects the display of combat effectiveness, and there is also a serious shortage of officers at all levels.
After careful consideration, Zhang Wei felt that there were indeed many problems in the integration of three Japanese brigades and three Chinese brigades into one army, and this must be rectified.
As for the lack of Japanese officers, Zhang Wei has his own ideas, and he has never talked about it to outsiders, this time Feng Guohua took the initiative to raise this issue, and he was ready to explain it well.
So, Zhang Wei said to Feng Guohua: "I have never told anyone else what I think, you are the first, and you must keep it secret after telling you." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty, please speak!"
Zhang Wei said slowly: "In the war against Japan, we completely annihilated the Japanese navy, basically wiped out the Japanese naval elite, and the Japanese navy had no financial resources and no manpower in the future, and it could no longer develop; The same is true of the Japanese army, which has been completely annihilated by 11 divisions and regiments, among which there are many excellent Japanese officers, so that half of the Japanese army elite will be wiped out; In recent years, Japan has abolished military academies, and many outstanding Japanese young people have been recruited into mercenaries, and now 360,000 people have been dispatched; There is also a part of the training, if the conscription continues, I plan to recruit more than 2 million Japanese young people to join the army, in the future these Japanese will all be deployed in Russia West Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, to become the main force to encircle and fight against the white Europeans, at that time it was a decisive battle between yellow and white, and for the Japanese it was also for the general righteousness, which is why I have not expressed my position on the "Yellow Peril Theory", only if the external pressure is strong enough, can the Chinese, and even the yellow race be brought together, otherwise, According to the urine nature of the Chinese who like infighting, it must be a plate of loose sand. ā
Feng Guohua was taken aback by Zhang Wei's plan, recruited more than 2 million Japanese mercenaries, and hurriedly asked: "What if these Japanese are against the water?" How will they be resettled after the war? ā
Zhang Wei listened to Feng Guohua's question and felt very funny, so he patiently explained to him: "The Japanese army is all the army, there is no navy, no air force, no armored army, how can he fight against the water?" If it's just right, I can send the air force to blow them up, and even the army can destroy them without even having to go out; As for the post-war events, if they don't all die in battle, at least more than half of them will be killed, and if they lose millions of young elites, will Japan still have the bloody nature to resist in the future? ā
"Haha, Your Majesty, in that case, it will become a blood feud with Japan for eternity, and it will not be feasible unless all the Japanese are killed." Feng Guohua retorted.
Zhang Wei said firmly: "It is impossible to be so pessimistic as you said, that is, more than half of the Japanese troops killed in battle, compared with Russia and European countries, the number of casualties at that time is still relatively small. ā
Feng Guohua didn't want to recruit so many Japanese mercenaries from his heart, each army was equipped with a brigade, enough to be cannon fodder, and it was easy to control, very safe, and there would be no backlash, so he suggested from other aspects: "Your Majesty, in the past, several consecutive recruits have already recruited Japanese veterans and military talents who have received regular military training, and if you continue to recruit soldiers, you can only recruit soldiers, and you will not recruit troops as in the previous system, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops."
According to the current scale of recruitment, there are several methods: the first is to expand the original brigade establishment and integrate new recruits into the existing army, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops, and they can only go to the battlefield after a period of training;
The second is to send the Praetorian Guard or the Wehrmacht as officers, and to mix the Japanese mercenaries, they will have to face the problem of language communication difficulties, which will also seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops;
The third is to extend the training time, and carry out language education at the same time as training, and those who do not learn Chinese well within the specified time will be returned, which will cause a serious waste of funds, and the effect may not be good.
Otherwise, I do not propose to continue to expand the size of the Japanese mercenaries. ā
Zhang Wei explained: "Anyway, they are all cannon fodder, I am not the most concerned about combat effectiveness, I plan to recruit more families with only 1 or 2 sons in the next recruitment, and families with multiple sisters, this son died in battle, the empire can give a generous pension, and then move their whole family to the empire, with 2 sons, the second son will take over and continue to join the army; When the time comes, money will still circulate within the empire, and it will also solve the problem of more single men in the empire, how do you feel? ā
Feng Guohua continued to retort: "Your Majesty, if there are more similar things, people with a heart can still see that the empire is tired, besides, now there are no boys in the family, only girls are basically all immigrated by the empire, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Japanese, if similar problems happen again, the impact will be great, I am not optimistic; Moreover, Japan exported so many waitress to the outside world, and the empire recruited many unmarried girls, and there were more and more singles in Japan, and they were already dissatisfied with the government. ā
Zhang Wei said indifferently: "Conscripting mercenaries is also one of the measures to reduce the number of singles in Japan, and when these people retire, they will not have the opportunity to get married again, that is, they will get married, it would be good to find a Japanese waiter, besides, there are contradictions that are the business of the Japanese government, and they have nothing to do with us; Now the Japanese are taking the initiative to join the army, as long as we don't break the contract, we can't find our business, okay, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, let's reorganize the army first. ā
In Zhang Wei's heart, he is no longer afraid of the resurgence of the Japanese, the strength of the Japanese imperial family has been seriously weakened, the major princes have been abolished, and no one dares to propagate militarist ideas anymore, under the suppression of the Xia Empire, in a few decades, all of them will be obedient people of the Xia Empire, who will remember the emperor?
The servility of the Japanese to the strong, as well as their hard-working characteristics, make them high-quality mercenaries, under the command of the Xia Empire, they will definitely be able to beat the white Europeans.
Zhang Wei did this purely because he didn't like this nation in his heart, and he wanted to hire them with money, let them fight with white Westerners, and then immigrate Japanese women to the empire in large numbers to raise offspring for the empire.
