Chapter 23 Later he learned otherwise

"Ah, today is another day of peace and stability. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Mengchu stretched out an old demon and showed his beautiful figure to the fullest.

Chen Cheng glanced up, looked at some prominent parts for a few more seconds, and then sneered: "The Chinese version of the war-free Western Front? You know, just today, we have several civil servants who have died. ”

"One, there was no war. Second, there are no natural disasters. The girl said, "Isn't this still peaceful and stable?" ”

"If that's what you say......." Chen Cheng put down the matter in his hand and said, "It's no problem." If only wars and natural and man-made disasters were the only things that mattered, then there was really nothing to do now. ”

"Yes, we maintain such a large number of standing troops, isn't it just so that people don't dare to attack us easily." Lin Mengchu said: "I heard someone say that the worst peace is better than war, what do you think?" ”

"What do I think? I don't think so. Chen Cheng shrugged, "Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?" Mo Daoshiren has one eye and provokes the Yellow River to rebel against the world. People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs..... China's history is too long, and there are too many people to speak. As long as it is not a very absolute point of view, there is always a supporting argument to be found. ”

"Oh, that's right." The girl suddenly changed the topic and said, "By the way, is the number of standing armies we have now a little too much?" ”

"Is it much?" Chen Cheng calculated, "Our current territory includes Mongolia, Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei, and the surrounding areas are basically either enemies or potential enemies. ”

"Although Mongolia released 20,000 people, half of them were Japanese prisoners of war who surrendered........"

"Wait," Lin Mengchu thought for a moment and said, "You mean that there are 10,000 Japanese in the army under Li Dayan now?" ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem?" The girl asked, "Don't you know that Japan is now one of our greatest enemies?" ”

"Well, if you want to talk about the biggest enemy, the first thing is Russia. And then there's the UK, and Japan can only be ranked third at best, right? Chen Cheng said puzzledly: "Although the current Japanese have some strength and can mobilize millions of land forces, their industrial strength is pitiful, and it is impossible to pose a threat to us at all." ”

"Huh? Is Japan so weak now? ”

"It can't be said to be weak," Chen Cheng scratched his head, "How can you say it?" Today's Japan, because of the existence of the "Anglo-Japanese Alliance", has no shortcomings in terms of funds, weapons and ammunition. But its military, neither the army nor the navy, could make it a country with world-class influence. ”

"You just said that it can mobilize a million troops, although we knew that the Japanese would become very terrible after decades of reserve construction, but only when we started to build the reserve did we know that such an enemy was no longer very terrible, but very, very terrible!"

"Are you afraid?" Chen Cheng said in disbelief: "You always think that the enemy is not strong enough, right?" ”

"Hey, hey, it's not the same thing to go it alone and when the army is at war. Strategy and tactics are also two different things, good or not! ”

"Well, although the Japanese were able to mobilize an army of millions of people, and the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, fighting will and discipline were also very good, their shortcomings were also obvious."

"One million troops, probably can capture Handan, right?"

"Considering the naval superiority of the other side, if the Japanese really come together with a hot head, it is really possible to advance to Handan...... of the periphery. ”

Lin Mengchu poked the map with his finger, pointed to several ports on the coastline and said: "If I have a million army to use, let alone Handan, even the whole of China can be defeated!" ”

"That's the problem," Chen Cheng said, "Now Japan is at the height of its military morale, and the generals who lead the army and the overweight civil and military officials are all old fritters..........

"What the hell are old fritters?"

"Well, it's Hirobumi Ito, ...... Oyama Rock"

"Well, what are their weaknesses? You don't seem to be very worried about the way they look. ”

"The weakness of the Japanese Army has always been the same, that is, it does not treat soldiers as human beings too much."

"Well, too brutal?"

The same can be said. The Japanese were quite brutal to their enemies and to their own people. ”

"I don't agree with that, brutality can also make soldiers braver, more eager to fight and kill."

"Yes, it does. The Japanese will to fight is known all over the world, but the officers are so brutal that they do not pay attention to the improvement of tactics and the construction of logistics. It cannot be said that they do not attach importance to it at all, the Japanese still like some advanced weapons very much, and the current Japanese generals also attach great importance to the use of new weapons. ”

"But?"

“.........？”

"There will always be but," Lin Mengchu said: "First raise and then suppress, for the Japanese who don't like it, isn't it always like this?" ”

"The Japanese rope skills are still good........ Ahem," Chen Cheng coughed twice, pulled the topic back, and said: "But the Japanese can't manage logistics chaotically, and now war is no longer the model of the ancient cold weapon era." For example, an army like the Japanese army, which does not pay attention to logistics, can at most fight near ports and railway lines, and once they are far away, it is estimated that they can starve their own people to death. ”

"Ghost animal Mutaguchi Lianya, you said it."

"Those are all rising stars of the Japanese army. In previous wars of intervention, the Japanese starved to death in the frozen soil of Siberia. In the process of attacking the Soviet Union after the First World War, the Japanese had already swallowed the whole of Siberia in their stomachs, and then they had no choice but to withdraw. ”

"Since the Japanese are so dish-oriented, should we preemptively strike?" Lin Mengchu said eagerly: "Anyway, there are so many people who hate the Japanese, if you beat the Japanese, there must be a lot of people who will be happy." ”

"The happiest must be the Russians......"

"Oh, the Russians have also amassed hundreds of thousands of troops in the northeast." The girl looked at the location of Shenyang and Changchun on the map, frowned, and said, "It always makes people feel uncomfortable to see these Russians entrenched so close to us." ”

"No hurry," Chen Cheng said, "the Russians are as big a threat to us as they are to Japan." Ito Hirobumi and Oyama Iwa couldn't tolerate the Russians sticking a gun in their heads. Look at it, in a few years, the Japanese will fight the Russians, and that time is the time for us to use troops. (To be continued.) )
