640: Drag them to death
In Zhongjing, the battle on the front line was going very smoothly, although there was almost a total annihilation of the 2,000 marines before, but after all, it could not affect the final outcome, with strong firepower and equipment, the landing force still safely completed the landing, and carried out further tasks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Compared with the landing of hundreds of thousands of people, the loss of more than 3,000 people, such a figure is still acceptable, at least much lower than the number expected by Wang Sirui in his heart.
Of course, when he saw the specific war report, Wang Sirui still couldn't help but slap the table.
Whether it is good or bad is just a guess in my heart, and this number can be large or small, and it has no effect at all. Although the actual situation was better than Wang Sirui's expectations, this process made Wang Sirui very dissatisfied and even angry. Obviously, this victory could have been achieved at a smaller cost, but now, thousands of people have been killed by these people.
So, after learning about the actual situation, Wang Sirui directly sent a telegram to the front line, ordering all relevant key personnel to reflect and not to reward them for the time being.
In fact, if you count it, there are only two people who have been reprimanded, one is Jiang Baili, as the commander-in-chief of the beach-grabbing landing, Jiang Baili did not be able to understand the information clearly in advance and rashly sent troops to fight, although the military situation is like fire, and there can be no delay, but that is also a situation, such a big thing as a landing operation, if there is really no information, forget it, obviously the intelligence personnel have already sent the information, but they still ignore the information.
The other is Daniel Zhang, the captain of the 1st fighter-bomber group, and it was under the leadership of Daniel Zhang that the 1st fighter-bomber group spared the Japanese troops on the first line of positions, resulting in the landing of the first batch of troops, the main positions of the Japanese army were hardly affected in any way, directly bringing greater resistance to the landing force.
In addition to these two people, the others are the commendations of the awards, the promotions of the promotions, Wang Sirui did not skimp on a reward and a coin.
In the days that followed, there was good news, under the command of You Botai, the speed of the troops' advance was not slow, and the defense line had been successfully stabilized, which could basically ensure that the follow-up troops could land safely.
Of course, as time goes by, the future war will naturally become bigger and smoother, because the Chinese Empire will invest more and more, and more and more troops will land in Japan.
Armored divisions, airborne divisions, and air divisions will all appear in the second landing batch, so the next time will be the real torment for the Japanese, no equipment, no resources, no food, no support, compared to history, Japan at this time, is obviously in a more difficult situation than China in history.
However, Wang Sirui, who had just been happy for less than two days, received a news that made him unhappy.
"Are you sure about the news?" Wang Sirui asked with a tight frown.
"It is certain that our people have bribed the workers of those factories and have confirmed that the weapons they are making are Japanese standard weapons." Ma Sanru nodded with a heavy face, this news is by no means good news for the Chinese Empire.
Although the performance of the Japanese weapons and equipment is not very good, even if they have enough weapons and equipment, the Japanese will still not be the opponent of the Chinese, there is no doubt, because in the military industrial system, the Japanese do not have any advantages at all. Again, this is the result of the fact that the Japanese put a lot of energy into the navy.
"What is the approximate yield?" Wang Sirui continued to ask.
"It's impossible to determine the exact number yet, but based on what we know so far, we should be able to produce at least 400,000 rifles and billions of rounds a year. And in addition to Japan's standard weapons, there are also many factories that have received the production of weapons and equipment from Britain, France and the United States, and it is said that the Americans are seeking a new weapon, and their requirements for the rifle are to surpass our Mauser rifle in all aspects, and to develop a more advanced automatic weapon, the reference of which is the Type 03 automatic rifle.
The Americans are also studying tanks, and there is intelligence that the military personnel of Britain, France and the United States are stepping up research and manufacturing, but we cannot explore the specific research progress and need further reconnaissance. Ma Sanru said in one breath.
"The Americans are making a good calculation." Wang Sirui smiled secretly, said with a slight mockery, and then, after a change of voice, he continued: "However, there should be shadows of Britain and France in this. ”
"Judging from the current situation in the country, there is indeed such a possibility, but we have no concrete evidence to prove it." Ma Sanru knew what Wang Sirui meant, although he also had this kind of suspicion, but after all, it was just a suspicion, there was no specific evidence, and he didn't dare to speculate indiscriminately, although he had already guessed countless times in his heart, but guessing by himself and speaking about it were two completely different results.
"There are some things that don't require any proof." Wang Sirui responded lightly.
What does it mean that the Americans are massively manufacturing Japanese weapons? Isn't it clear? With the performance of the Japanese 38 rifle, the Americans don't look down on it at all, and even if they do, at most, they will refer to some of the design concepts, and then make a stronger weapon themselves, and just make the standard weapons of the Japanese army in batches, and the Americans are really so hungry?
In other words, the weapons of China and Germany are much more reliable than the weapons of the Japanese.
So what is the reason for the Americans to do this? This is actually quite a guess.
When we think about the war situation in Europe and the current position of the Chinese Empire in the world, the reasons for the Americans seem to have emerged.
The two major blocs have successively co-opted the Chinese Empire, and any country knows very well that the current Chinese Empire is no longer the country it was ten years ago, and the current Chinese Empire is more vigorous, more economic, and more military.
But the attitude of the Chinese Empire has always been ambiguous, and the response is also ambiguous, and no one cares about the choice of a country that does not want to do it. For example, in order to avoid the war on its own territory, or to avoid Japan being completely confined to death, Japan spared no effort to apply to join either of the two blocs.
The Japanese are making the same old mistake, they are gambling that a group they join will bring them greater benefits. If they join the same camp as the Chinese Empire, then the two countries will become allies, and the Chinese Empire will have no reason and no right to blockade Japan again.
If the two countries end up in an opposing situation, then Japan, which has joined one of them, well, at this time Japan is still more inclined to join the Entente, provided that the first one has already failed. At this time, the Entente's power in Asia was still very strong.
Although the Chinese Empire has a naval fleet that is more powerful than Japan, the Japanese Navy is not made of mud, and it may not be able to do it against you, but it is always okay to sneak some resources back from the allies, right?
At that time, Japan will open an overseas channel, and it will also be a free access to resources, so why not?
Unlike Japan, the Chinese Empire did not want to join either of the two blocs at the beginning of the war, as this would prematurely drag China into a new war.
And there is another reason, once the Chinese Empire declares that it has joined a certain group, then Japan will inevitably be accepted into another group, and then receive a large amount of military aid, and the opposing group also hopes to use Japan to slow down the pace of the Chinese Empire.
Speaking of which, the reasons for the Americans, the British, and the French have also been called out, and the attitude of the Chinese is very ambiguous, and they have always refused to express their position and refuse to have any partiality, giving people the feeling that I will not join anyone, and it is possible to suddenly join a certain side.
The Chinese dare to play like this, dare to hang the appetite of Britain, France and Germany and other powerful countries, Germany because of Wilhelm II, so in the heart of the eyes is actually not very cold to the Chinese, the surface of the warm invitation, in fact, is just to find a strong ally for Germany, in order to be able to fight the power of the Entente in the world, so that they lose faster, that's all.
There is no doubt that once China and Germany join forces, after the end of the war, a new bipolar confrontation in the world will arise.
In addition to Germany, Britain and France were most worried about the Chinese joining the Allied side, because Britain and France had more interests in Asia than Germany.
And many of them were snatched from China, once the two countries were opposed, the Chinese would quickly send troops to occupy those colonies that once belonged to them, and with the strong momentum of the Chinese Empire in recent years, and the British and French in order to deal with the provocation of the Germans in Europe, they were forced to withdraw more troops from Asia.
Therefore, at this time, as long as the Chinese send troops, even if there is only one army, it is very likely to sweep all the colonies of Britain and France in Asia within a year.
Therefore, Britain and France did not dare to wait, they had to find a way to force the Chinese to make a decision, or rather, so that they would never be able to make this decision.
And it's not easy to do this, but it's easy, so that's where the situation is now.
