[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 783: Discussion on the Chongqing side (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

As far as Lao Chiang is concerned, if the Japanese can really provide weapons and equipment for 60 infantry divisions, plus the millions of troops that have been trained now, he will have more than 1.5 million well-armed infantry divisions and more than 1 million miscellaneous soldiers in his hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is the Gui Army, the Dian Army, the Jin Sui Army or the **** of Yan'an, it is not for him to be cleaned up by Jiang Someone.

However, those local warlords Lao Jiang have never regarded them as the main opponents, what he is most worried about and afraid of is the strong army in the Suicha area, as soon as he thinks of the newly rising young man in the **** side, Lao Jiang's good mood is destroyed.

Thinking of Ma Zheng, Lao Jiang's fanatical expression was paused, he let out a long breath, and asked again: "How is the situation in the Suicha Military Region of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

It is gratifying to unify the whole country, but Lao Jiang knows very well that once he fails, he will fall into the abyss of no return, and there will be no possibility of turning over at that time.

What's more, the efforts of these decades have not only come to naught, but they will even be nailed to the cross of shame, and then they will be poked in the backbone by future generations and scolded traitors.

"Two days ago, Ma Zheng published an article in Xinhua News Agency, the main content of which was ......"

"Don't talk about this, I've already read that article, it's all about some didactic truths, and it doesn't have any guiding effect on reality!" Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

"Well, during this time, Ma Zheng has been inspecting the Suicha area, the first to go to Baotou, and two days ago he also went to Dongsheng. However, I heard that Ma Zheng was sending people to secretly contact Li of the Gui Department and Yan Xishan of Shanxi, but there was no specific news yet. Dai said.

"Niang Xipi, what are they going to do, rebellion! When the national disaster is at hand, these people still form gangs for their own selfish interests, what kind of system have they become! Lao Jiang said angrily.

"Respectful and rhetorical, tell me whether we accept or reject the terms of peace talks put forward by the Japanese? How to solve the matter in Saibei? Lao Jiang asked loudly.

Seeing that the old man named them to express their opinions, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Kong Xiangxi glanced at each other, knowing that they had to say something today, otherwise the old man would definitely be unhappy.

Several people looked at each other, and in the end, Kong Xiangxi, who was still the highest-ranking person, was the first to say: "Commission, I think that the peace talks with the Japanese are completely thankless, and it is likely to cause another disaster because of this!" ”

"Oh, tell me about it!" Regarding Kong Xiangxi's opinion, the old man still attaches more importance to it.

Kong Xiangxi paused and said: "We have already talked with the Japanese for two rounds, and the one mediated by the Germans should have been three rounds, and the first three times the Japanese did not have the slightest sincerity in the peace talks, no matter how groveling we were, in the end the peace talks still did not produce any results, which can only show one problem, that is, the Japanese do not just want to get some benefits from the party-state, or from the whole of China, just like the First Sino-Japanese War and the September 18 Incident." ”

"In the first two wars, the Japanese would have stopped the truce if we had given up some interests, but this time they didn't. Because what they want is the hundreds of millions of miles of rivers and mountains in the whole of China, not a little bit of money and goods, and all those who stand in front of the Japanese are their enemies, and they will destroy them mercilessly. ”

"So what, in the end, the Japanese still don't want to negotiate peace with the party-state?" The old man said disappreciatively.

"The reason why the Japanese are negotiating peace with us is entirely because they can't fight anymore, and the reason why the Japanese were so tough before. It was entirely because when launching a full-scale war of aggression against China, the Japanese army generally believed that it would only need to "strike a single blow at the branch" to triumph in the division. Emperor Sugiyama Motojo said that the incident could be resolved in about a month, and even shouted the arrogant words that China would be destroyed in three months. Japan's Ministry of War regards China as a weak and divided country that cannot be reunified, and as long as Japan shows a tough attitude, China will immediately give in, so just like Fumima Konoe said, they do not regard the party-state as their opponent, and in their eyes the party-state is not worthy of being their opponent at all. ”

"However, due to our courageous resistance, the Japanese army's quick decision was bankrupt. Most of Japan's national strength was consumed on the battlefields of China and there was no time for other care. The delay in the war has aggravated the internal and external crises in Japan, and the people are anxious to end the war of aggression against China. Kong Xiangxi immediately said.

The leader turned his head to look at Dai Li, and then said, "Yunong, is the situation in Japan really so unbearable?" ”

Dai Li sorted out the information about Japan in his mind a little. Then he got up and said, "Go back to your seat." The situation in Japan is not good. ”

"How is it a bad method, tell me more about it?" The old man said.

Dai said: "Since the end of the Second Battle of Wuhan, the poverty of Japan's national strength has become increasingly superficial. The specific manifestations are: militarily in a dilemma, exhausted to cope; The economy is in crisis; Politically volatile. ”

Dai Li then continued: "In the early days of the full-scale invasion of China, the Japanese army achieved a series of victories and occupied large areas of China's territory, but the Japanese army also paid the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties, the offensive momentum was sharply reduced, and the morale of the army was declining, which was especially evident after the Second Battle of Wuhan. Although our army also suffered heavy casualties and was once sharply reduced to less than one million, the party-state did not give in, and the Japanese army's dream of quickly destroying China was frustrated. ”

"So far, after paying a huge price, the Japanese army has ended up with 1 million troops trapped in the predicament of being unable to move on the mainland. This made many people in the Japanese military feel that there was no way out by relying on force to resolve the Chinese incident. Therefore, changing its policy toward China and seeking peace from war has become an urgent task for Japan at the moment. ”

"In addition, VII. After the Seven Incidents, Japan purchased a large amount of strategic materials from Britain and the United States for use in the war against China, and so far it has consumed a large amount of gold, which has sharply reduced Japan's gold reserves, affected financial stability, and caused the yen to depreciate sharply. ”

At the same time, due to the expansion and continuation of the war, Japan expanded military production and converted many civilian factories to military use, resulting in a shortage of power supply, which made the original military production plan in 1939 only 80% complete, resulting in a shortage of weapons and ammunition at the front. The restriction on the use of electricity and the conversion of civilian factories to military use have made the supply of civilian goods tight, some resources have been controlled, and the purchase of dozens of commodities in society has been restricted, affecting the people's lives. ”

"Even more serious was the drought that occurred in Japan and in the occupied areas of North China in 1939, which caused a food shortage, and Japan entered a period of food shortage. Food shortages are particularly acute in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, where citizens are limited to less than two litres at a time. The food problem caused great unrest among the people, and it became the biggest factor in the collapse of the Abe Cabinet, and the Minai Cabinet, which was then formed, continued to agonize over this issue. ”

In addition, due to the intervention of the party-state and overseas Chinese, the United States adopted economic sanctions against Japan and abrogated the "US-Japan Trade Treaty." This is also a major blow to Japan, which previously accounted for nearly half of its total overseas imports from the United States, and imported most of its strategic goods from the United States. ”

Politically, Japan is also in a dangerous situation of instability, and in just one year, the cabinet has changed hands four times. From the collapse of the Konoe cabinet on January 5, 1939, to the present Japanese government, there have been three prime ministers, Kiichiro Hiranuma, Nobuyuki Abe, and Mitsumasa Yonechi, and now the second cabinet of Konoe Fumima is the fourth prime minister in one year. This made it difficult for Japan to maintain the unity and continuity of the government decree, and also exacerbated the differences and contradictions between factions. ”

"These circumstances have naturally aroused widespread dissatisfaction among the Japanese people, and have caused the anti-war sentiment of the people to grow, and the anxiety about resolving the incident and the uneasiness in the lives of the people have permeated the whole country, increasing the pressure on the Japanese military command, so the Japanese side is eager to hold peace talks with us."
