Chapter 344: The Russo-Japanese War (2)

Although the military of the Eastern European Alliance has always been guided by Ernst's will, there are also factions between them, such as Lieutenant General Friedrich and Admiral Konstantin, one of whom is from the Kingdom of Lithuania in Eastern Europe and the other is from the Russian Empire.

Lithuania belonged to the German generals' faction, the Russian Empire belonged to the Far Eastern faction, and the remaining major faction was naturally the Austro-Hungarian faction, including a series of generals from the Czech principality, all of whom were the real core of the Austro-Hungarian faction.

Ernst was also powerless in the face of factions in the army, and there was no way, after all, the peace was too long, and many things were unavoidable, although Ernst had been trying to erase the question of the generals' origins.

In fact, Ernst's original intention was to change the personnel arrangements of the major military regions, but World War II made Ernst very worried about whether his arrangements would affect the combat effectiveness of the army, after all, most of the Eastern European Alliance were very capable generals, and these generals were also the most likely to have a lot of influence among ordinary soldiers.

The arrival of a new general will naturally give the soldiers a strange feeling, and the strong influence of the predecessor will always make it difficult for the successor to blend in, so it will naturally be difficult to ensure his combat effectiveness. Otherwise, Ernst would not have been able to allow such a dangerous state of affairs to continue.

What else could Lieutenant General Friedrich do after receiving orders from the commander? At noon that day, hundreds of bombers had already arrived over Seoul, and one bomb after another fell under the shocked eyes of the Japanese army and the puppet army, and countless explosions were mixed with screams and panicked escapes.

The Japanese commander hid in the headquarters with a pale face, he never thought that the other party's decision would be so fast. I didn't expect that the other party would directly play the role of this butcher regardless of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Seoul. What surprised him even more. The bomber group did not end up here in Seoul. They will continue to bomb the cities on the next main route and complete the recovery of the entire Korean Peninsula as soon as possible.

The number of casualties in the bombing of Seoul was not as high as expected, because Lieutenant General Friedrich was not prepared to raze the area to the ground in the first place, and most of the targets of the bombing were only buildings. Lieutenant General Friedrich's message is simple: you don't have to use ordinary people as shields, and we won't compromise because of that.

Immediately after the bombing, the tanks entered, followed by the army soldiers who swept the alleys, and the loudspeakers on the tanks remembered from time to time. Kill any EEA soldier and the EEA will slaughter any 10 people in the city, regardless of Japanese or Korean.

This kind of iron-blooded policy made many Japanese soldiers who wanted to do it before they could do it were controlled by the surrounding Koreans, and many Japanese soldiers hiding in civilian houses in the bombing just now threw away their weapons in panic and hiding, which is also the main reason why Koreans dare to do it.

Seoul fell completely in less than four hours, and most of the Japanese soldiers hiding in civilian houses were captured by Koreans, and the rest of the headquarters and other vital places, Lieutenant General Friedrich did not order the infantry to attack, but ordered the tanks to bombard the place.

The high-ranking Japanese generals died very aggrieved, and they were even bombed to death in the headquarters without harming any of the enemy. One can imagine how relieved the expressions on the faces of several dead Japanese generals were.

There were about 2,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 18,000 puppet soldiers captured alive, and the number of puppet soldiers was smaller, mainly because they themselves were Koreans. When you take off your military uniform, you can disguise yourself. Unless someone identifies them, they can easily escape the fate of prisoners of war, but if they think that this is over, they are very mistaken.

The first thing Lieutenant General Friedrich did after taking Seoul was to announce that all the more than 20,000 prisoners of war here would be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor in accordance with the laws of the Eastern European Union, but because some of them were hidden among the people, Lieutenant General Friedrich would select 20,000 from the ordinary people who were living to supplement the prisoners of war and enjoy the same treatment as them.

It doesn't make sense? Lieutenant General Friedrich himself is not prepared to reason with them, and it doesn't matter if you are not satisfied, as long as you identify the puppet army hiding in it, then you can reduce their number, and the designation of one person can offset two, simply put, as long as they identify 10,000 puppet soldiers, then the matter of 20,000 supplements is over!

What is the sin of 20 years of hard labor? It is a job that works 19 hours a day and does not have enough to eat, and the stronger ones may be able to last for 6 or 7 years, while the average body may not be able to hold on for 5 years and will die of exhaustion on the construction site.

The construction of the Eastern European Union to this day is inseparable from the criminals who have been seized for crimes, and they are the real hope for the rise of the Eastern European Union.

Lieutenant General Friedrich still had a lot to do, so naturally he couldn't stay in Seoul for too long, and the work on the reconstruction of Seoul and the arrangements for prisoners of war were arranged for a cabinet member from the Qin cabinet, and this kind of thing was most suitable for the government.

More than a week had passed since the identification of the prisoners of war was completed, and Vice Admiral Friedrich had used the same method all the way to Busan, where several heavyweight ports along the way had been recovered, and the Far East Fleet had docked at the port of Busan, across the sea from the Japanese fleet.

In fact, Jeju Island had not yet been taken at this time, but the Far East Fleet did not have the ability to go to sea at all, because once the Far East Fleet was sheltered by the offshore defense artillery, then the Far East Fleet had only one way to be destroyed, after all, their strength was still too poor compared with the Japanese fleet.

As the saying goes, it is easier to destroy and build the south, and the entire Korean Peninsula is almost already the territory of the Qin State, but how to stabilize people's hearts and rebuild the city is a difficult problem, especially after a war, the population of the Korean Peninsula has suffered heavy losses, and now it is very good to have 8 million.

A large number of prisoners of war were assigned to reconstruction, and the capital of the Qin state was to be transferred from Tokyo to Seoul, which was far more than Tokyo in terms of geography and other aspects.

A large number of large machinery was transported to the Korean Peninsula, and the entire Korean Peninsula was in full swing, and some companies from the Eastern European Alliance trusted the military capabilities of the Eastern European Alliance, and they had already invested their excess funds here without waiting for the political stability here.

Agricultural machinery companies, timber companies, iron and steel companies, automobile companies, textile companies, not to mention the large enterprises in the West, but also those service industries such as song halls, Chinese and Western restaurants, record companies, film companies, etc., have been established in these new cities.

The places that were conquered were also modeled after other cities of the Eastern European Union, and the villages and towns, the big farm plan, and the educational reform, which were already very familiar to any senior official of the Eastern European Union, so everything went very smoothly.

Homes are re-established, students go back to school, workers find new jobs, a small number of farmers are hired to work on large farms, and a small number are converted into workers to work in enterprises. Of course, at this time, it is the government departments that solve the most social jobs, and their infrastructure projects require tens of millions of laborers.

These laborers and prisoners of war and prisoners are completely two different concepts, the food of prisoners of war and criminals is rice soup and vegetables, and the monthly salary of the salaried labor force is 10 euros, not to mention that the food is also very rich, and it is impossible to have big fish and meat, but there is always no shortage of meat and fresh vegetables in every meal.

Yu Zhanshan was most familiar with the Korean Peninsula, so he was assigned to serve as the chief military officer on the Korean Peninsula, while Lieutenant General Friedrich continued his military career, leading his group army and the four additional reserve armies to the Chinese battlefield.

And so the Korean campaign ended? No, it's not true, it's impossible for Japan to give up this place, and Jeju Island has not yet been recovered, and even the Korean Peninsula still hides an unknown number of Japanese troops, these are all things that Yu Zhanshan, a lieutenant general of Chinese descent in the Eastern European Alliance, needs to solve.

One group army, two reserve group armies, a total of 300,000 army forces are the forces that Yu Zhanshan can deploy, and most of the fighters have been arranged to the Chinese battlefield, and the number of air forces that Yu Zhanshan can use is very rare, so he should not act rashly.

Staying on the Korean Peninsula with 300,000 troops in his hands, Yu Zhanshan's mind began to change a little. Of course, he never thought about betrayal, but he just felt that he had unconsciously reached the height he was today, so should he do something to make himself famous for the ages.

I don't know how to do it Yu Zhanshan, but a big gift has been sent to him, and the gift is indeed very big, so big that Yu Zhanshan is a little surprised.

Two million euros, yes, is a gift worth two million euros. This gift was sent by a Japanese expatriate, and he was also forced to have no choice but to play such a disgraceful role, but who let his family be in the hands of others, he couldn't help but do it.

"Mansions, American estates, servants, do you think this mere 2 million euros will impress me?"

Yu Zhanshan really couldn't help but want to laugh, those Japanese politicians obviously regarded themselves as those generals in Japan, and their monthly salary was only a few hundred or thousands of euros.

The Eastern European Union has published information about the salaries of Eastern European Union politicians, and the salaries of the military have always been a mystery, and the only thing that those intelligence officers outside the country can find out is that they are only two or three times higher, so how can they speculate about the salaries of senior generals?

To be honest, Yu Zhanshan really can't get 2 million euros, but it is completely impossible to make him excited, because Yu Zhanshan's annual salary is 100,000 euros. That's right, it's comparable to the annual earnings of a small and medium-sized company, and that's not counting Zhanshan's personal investment, you must know that the Eastern European Alliance allows senior generals to buy special corporate debt bonds.
