The confrontation between Lan Fang and Japan did not affect the construction of the Japanese penicillin factory.

Qin Zhiyuan opened a penicillin factory in Japan to make a profit, and the Japanese do have an urgent need for penicillin, which is a win-win cooperation, regardless of whether there is a contradiction between Qin Zhiyuan and the Japanese, the cooperation projects that have been determined will not be affected.

After all, the penicillin factory is nominally a joint project between France and Japan, and has no direct affiliation with Lanfang.

Of course, this is also because the contradiction is not big enough.

If the contradictions accumulate to the point of going to war, then no matter how much the Japanese need penicillin, Qin Zhiyuan will still decisively suspend all cooperation.

In order to prevent some accidents from happening, all the engineers sent by Qin Zhiyuan to Japan were French, and the security personnel were headed by Germans and supplemented by Annan.

In terms of execution and discipline, compared with the French, Qin Zhiyuan still trusts the Germans more.

Of course, this does not mean that the French are inferior to the Germans, but they are different in their fields of expertise, so there will be a certain tendency in the assignment of tasks.

As for the Annanes, they are there to pull hatred.

Qin Zhiyuan actually agrees with "razing against razing", but because those people in the Qing Dynasty have never had the opportunity to implement it, they have no chance to implement this concept.

But in the Republic of China at this time, many countries have already practiced it.

For example, Japan, for example, the United Kingdom.

In the Republic of China, the Japanese used a large number of Koreans as police to maintain the Japanese concession area, so every time there was a conflict with the Chinese, the Koreans always rushed to the front, and the Japanese hid behind to watch the excitement.

Therefore, the reputation of the Koreans in the Republic of China is not good, and the "Goryeo stick" refers to the big stick in the hands of the Koreans.

When the North Koreans fight the Chinese, they will not show mercy at all, and from the title of "Goryeo stick", you can see how much the Chinese hate the North Koreans.

This is the intention of the Japanese, if the Chinese hate the Koreans and ignore the Japanese who caused all this, then the Japanese will achieve their goal.

Of course, this is not to say that the Koreans are right, the Koreans and the Japanese are just "50 steps and 100 steps".

The same is true for the British, in the British Concession of the Republic of China, as long as you see a policeman with a headscarf on his head, then he is an Indian policeman hired by the British.

This is also a tool used by the British to divert hatred.

In some ways, the British also succeeded.

Perhaps it was from this time that Indians became "Ah San" in the Chinese population, and part of the reason for this is that Indians always bring "sir" when they speak, so they will call them "Ah San".

It's also a term of contempt and hatred.

The British and the Japanese have a lot in common, and their alliance is a match made in heaven.

First of all, they are all island countries, and the excessively narrow territory causes paranoia and distortion in the national character, the lack of abundant natural resources makes them have to maintain an expansionist mentality, and the land is surrounded by the sea so that they attach great importance to the development of the navy.

Last but not least, Britain and Japan both had a continent next to their borders that made it difficult for them to sleep.

The British are most worried that there will be some powerful country in Europe to unify Europe, and then endanger the interests of the British, so the British have been implementing a policy of "continental equilibrium" for thousands of years.

As long as a certain country on the European continent becomes strong, the British will unite with other countries to suppress that country, or directly start a war, dashing the hope of that country's rise, and at the same time erasing the hope of the unity of the European continent.

The French suffered as much as the Germans.

The situation faced by Japan was even more severe, because the Chinese mainland had always been the same country, and Japan did not have as many colonial resources as the British to use, so the Japanese were afraid of the unification of the Chinese mainland.

Because the Japanese know that once the Chinese mainland is unified, then the interests of the Japanese will definitely be suppressed, and the Japanese will have to become vassals of the Chinese, just like thousands of years ago.

Therefore, Japan spared no effort in undermining the unification of the Chinese, so all the military governments in the south had the funds to compete with the Beiyang government, and constantly waged wars to strive for the so-called national reunification.

No, this "national unity" is not comprehensive.

After World War II, a document was found about the Sino-Japanese Covenant signed between the "Father of the Nation" of the Republic of China and Japan, in which the "Father of the Nation" promised that once the Beiyang government formed by Yuan Xiangcheng was overthrown, the "Father of the Nation" would cede Manchuria, that is, the three northeastern provinces, to Japan.

The authenticity of this document is highly disputed, and many people are not allowed to slander the "Father of the Nation", insisting that the Covenant is a forgery.

However, there is an indisputable fact that the "Father of the Nation" has openly stated on many occasions that he can lease Manchuria to Japan.

Rent......

From this point of view, the "father of the nation" is in some respects inferior to another much-criticized "national thief".

The "country thief" here does not refer to Qin Zhiyuan, but to Yuan Xiangcheng.

Yuan Xiangcheng did sign the "Covenant" with the Japanese, but it was not the legendary "Twenty-one Articles", but the abridged "Treaty of the Fourth Republic of China".

After the Japanese put forward the "21 Articles," Yuan Xiangcheng vowed that "the Republic of China will never be a second Goryeo," and then the "Fourth Treaty of the People," which was reached through hard negotiations on the basis of reason, was completely different from the "21 Articles" originally proposed by the Japanese side, and it was a bit unreasonable to say that "betraying the country."

One thing can be proved is that after the Japanese representative Takaaki Kato returned to China after signing the "Treaty of the Fourth Republic of China," Takaaki Kato immediately resigned.

If this "Treaty of the Fourth Republic of China" really allowed the Japanese to achieve their goal, Kato Takaaki should have been promoted to make a fortune instead of resigning.

Specific to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan is also ready to be as shameless as the British and Japanese, don't you use Indians and Koreans as policemen?

Well, I also use Annanites as security personnel, not only the security personnel sent to Japan, but also the security personnel sent to the United Kingdom and the United States are all Annanite.

To tell the truth, in terms of being ruthless to the enemy and being ruthless to themselves, the Annamites were much stronger than the Koreans and Indians.

The Koreans are dogs fighting people, as long as there is someone to support them, the Koreans dare to kick their noses in the face.

Needless to say, the Indians have never had any sense of resistance, and their obedience to the British is deep-rooted, even when the whole world is vigorously engaged in colonial autonomy, the Indians only come up with a "non-violent non-cooperation".

What a group of peaceful people.

And the country of Annan is very special, they are a bunch of crazy people, crazy even they are afraid of themselves.

The Annan people have challenged US imperialism and challenged PLA, although they all ended in failure, but the country's "arrogance" can be seen.

Yes, they really didn't challenge the Soviet Red Army, but that was because they were far away, and if the country of Annam was located in the Western Elysium, they might dare to challenge the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom of the Buddha.

On the other hand, it is also a testament to the bravery of the Annamite people.

Qin Zhiyuan took a fancy to the bravery of the Annamite people, so when Wu Yuanting, Nguyen Juncai, and Pham Van Hung led their troops back to the Far East, about a division of Annam's troops immediately turned into the Foreign Legion troops in Palawan.

Palawan Island is actually the territory of the Philippines, but when the "Spanish flu" broke out last winter, the residents of Palawan Island suffered heavy casualties, and the Americans all ran back to the United States and did not dare to stay in the Philippines, where the epidemic was serious, so the Foreign Legion was "requested" by the residents of Palawan Island to land on the island to provide humanitarian aid.

It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, it's easy to invite the Foreign Legion, but it's hard to send it away.

Belch...... It is not difficult, as long as the epidemic on Palawan Island eases, the Foreign Legion will naturally be evacuated, but the problem is that the epidemic has always been serious.

Hmmm, it's estimated that it will be flooded for decades......

In order to adapt to the tide of global disarmament, Qin Zhiyuan is also reducing the size of the army under his command, such as the 12 Chinese infantry divisions, which have now been reduced to four, stationed in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Guinea, and the islands of Sulawesi and Java.

The commanders of the four infantry divisions were Ge Lifu, Liu Zizheng, Zhang Tianshou, and Xu Sheng.

The mechanized unit was two tank divisions, stationed on Sumatra and Kalimantan, led by Chen Kangjian and Qin Haoge.

The artillery division had two divisions, also stationed on Sumatra and Kalimantan, and was led by Zheng Dali and Cheng Feiming respectively.

From the distribution of troops, it can be seen that Lanfang's defense center of gravity, Sumatra Island is the focus of defense because it is across the sea from British Malaya, and at the same time controls the Strait of Malacca, the main transportation route.

Kalimantan Island is across the sea from the Philippines and is responsible for providing logistical support to Palawan, so Kalimantan Island is also a key point of defense.

Qin Zhiyuan's army also included the air force, although there were less than 500 fighters, but in East Asia, it was already a huge force second to none.

In fact, in East Asia, Japan's main military strength is to be determined, and other countries are either colonies like Malaya and the Philippines, or countries like the Republic of China and French Indochina that pose no threat to Lanfang.

At this time, Japan's national strength was not as strong as imagined, and the Japanese did have a lot of naval vessels, and the quality of the navy was okay, but the development of the air force and army was seriously insufficient.

In fact, the Japanese Air Force did not become an independent army until the end of World War II, and it has always been a subsidiary branch of the army and navy, and it is congenitally deficient in terms of development.

Speaking of the Japanese Army, perhaps only the "militarism" armed with bushido ideology is worth mentioning, and the rest is really not worth mentioning, and can only bully and bully those "volunteer" troops of the Republic of China.

Japan's domestic resources are insufficient, and its dependence on overseas is extremely strong, and if there is no external blood transfusion, Japan will not even be able to self-sufficient in food, and as for their army equipment, the goal has always been to build the army as long as it is stronger than the Republic of China, and it is really incomparable with European countries.

For example, in the later stages of the World War, whether it was the Allies or Germany, thousands of artillery pieces were involved in the preparation of firepower before the launch of each campaign, which was impossible in Japan, and the shells alone could bankrupt the Japanese government.

At this time, Lan Fang, judging from the proportion of artillery owned by the troops, has actually surpassed that of European countries, especially large-caliber artillery, and the large-caliber artillery in Japan is less than one of Lan Fang's artillery divisions, which makes Lan Fang have a psychological advantage in the face of the Japanese.

Not to mention tanks.

This kind of war weapon that has just appeared for two years, the Japanese have only seen it, and they have not even had the opportunity to sit in it and feel it, but in Lanfang, two tank divisions have been equipped with a full 480 tanks, and even within the four infantry divisions, 160 tanks have been equipped, and this level of equipment is beyond the reach of Japan.

Speaking of the Air Force, Lan Fang's Air Force is roughly half of bombers and half of fighters, almost four air combat divisions and four bomber wings.

The commanders of the air combat division were Bao Deshui and Dou Yongyi, both of whom were ace pilots, of whom Bao Deshui had already achieved 67 victories by the end of the world war. Dou Yongyi's wingman who used to fly Bao Deshui now has 39 victories, including the famous Red Baron.

The commander of the bomber wing was Zhou Hongguang, who began to lead the bomber unit in the war from the beginning of the Battle of Feron Tadnoy.

By the end of the war, Zhou Hongguang had about 400 crews and 250 bombers.

If all these bombers were dispatched at once, they could drop 200 tons of bombs on the enemy's head, which was about 10 times the total one-time firepower of all the artillery units in Lanfang.

Japan is also now vigorously developing its air force......

This "vigorous" is debatable, the Japanese have no engines, no fuselages, wings, no aerial bombs, no pilots......

Nothing!

Compared with Lanfang, the Japanese planes are about the same as kites at present.
