594 War of Aggression against Japan! A policy of non-resistance!

On March 11, 1931, nearly six months after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, when the great gamble between China and Japan had gradually decided the outcome of the national fortune gamble, the Nationalist "Government" of the Republic of China finally announced that due to the aggression of the Japanese Imperial Army against Manchuria, the investigation and mediation of the League of Nations and the British and American allies had not yielded results for a long time. The Republic of China was forced to go to war with the Japanese Empire in order to safeguard the territorial and sovereign integrity of the country.

Although the declaration of war of the Nationalist "Government" stated conclusively that it was forced to fight against Japan in order to safeguard the integrity of the country's territory and sovereignty, everyone knew that from this moment on, this war between China and Japan could no longer be called the "War of Resistance Against Japan." Because this is a war in which China, a new imperialist power, challenges the hegemony of the East Asian hegemon, the Japanese Empire, as the great leader of the Soviet Union, Comrade Stalin, said, "This is an imperialist war for hegemony." Of course, the war against Japan waged by the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by the Chinese GCD was still a just anti-aggression war of resistance.

In the latest words of GC International, the war between China and Japan is actually composed of three wars intertwined. They are the war of aggression of Japanese imperialism against GCIST China; the war between Chinese imperialism and Japanese imperialism over the Northeast; The war of aggression of Chinese imperialism against Japan.

Well, of course, the analysis of the GC International will not be wrong, and the Chinese imperialists are about to start invading Japan

In the face of such a bad news that sounded a bit absurd, in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, the civil and military officials at the joint imperial meeting of the Five Ministers and the General Staff were all sitting solemnly, looking at the copies of the two declarations of war that had just been issued and were in a daze. Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi turned his back to them, looking at a full picture of Japan hanging high, and quietly shed tears.

Chinese imperialism is about to attack Taiwan

The Japanese army and navy leaders at the room knew that the Chinese imperialists were sharpening their knives west of the Taiwan Strait at this time, and that if they went down, they would cut off the island of Taiwan, the sacred territory of the Japanese Empire. Although this sacred territory was snatched from the Qing Dynasty more than 30 years ago, it has long been accustomed to robbing people after more than 30 years of robbing, and the top and bottom of Japan have long regarded Taiwan as a part of their own home. It's really not easy to accept to throw it away now......

"Didn't you swear to the military headquarters that as long as the Imperial Army is willing to restore the pre-war status, you can reach an armistice agreement with China? How did it turn into a declaration of war now? Is this how you diplomats talk about it? ”。

The first to break the extremely oppressive silence in the conference room was Minister of War Ugaki Kazunari, whose bald head was now covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his two blistered eyes were red and swollen, as if he had secretly cried somewhere. Moreover, the words he said also disgraced the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the meaning of these words seemed to say: "We know that we are wrong, we will change it, and if we change it, will it not work?" ”。

Kishigero Bihara was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time before Nono replied: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only said that it was sure to reach an armistice with the Beijing 'government' of China, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the 'government' of Wuhan has never ensured it. If it weren't for the sudden ...... of Wuhan this time Will war be declared? And Beijing's declaration of war poses little threat to the empire. ”

"Didn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invite the ambassadors of Britain, the United States, and France to China to intercede?" Ugaki Kazunari asked again: "Why is it useless?" Isn't South China supported by Anglo-American law? ”。

Hearing this, Kishigero Bihara's heart suddenly cooled and cleared, how did this sound as if the invincible imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire was helpless, and could only rely on the Foreign Minister to find a way...... Haven't you military leaders heard that "a weak country has no diplomacy?" ”。

"Ugaki-kun, isn't there a way for the imperial army to hold Taiwan?" Kishigero Bihara obviously didn't give up yet, and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this question, the Japanese cabinet and civilian officials in the room all looked at Minister of War Ugaki with great expectation, and Ugaki Kazunari's eyes flickered, and he sighed for a long time: "There is only one Taiwan army in Taiwan now, but there are only three infantry wings and three artillery brigades, and the total strength is only a little more than 10,000, and the Kuomintang army on the other side of the strait has more than 100,000 people...... Alas, if the navy can transport more land forces to the island of Taiwan and ensure that the logistics line is unblocked, the island of Taiwan will certainly be able to be defended. As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the Minister of Naval Command, Taniguchi Naoma: "Taniguchi-kun, the combined fleet ......."

"The Combined Fleet is ready for the jade crush" Taniguchi Naoma's face was like ashes, gritting his teeth and spitting out word by word: "The Combined Fleet still has three battleships, 'Nagato', 'Mutsu', and 'Yamashiro', the 'Zhenmei' battlecruiser, and the three aircraft carriers 'Akagi', 'Kaga', and 'Fengxiang' and other main forces, the Combined Fleet is ready to attack, and all the officers and men are also ready to wait for the ......" Speaking of this, Taniguchi Naoma slapped the table and stood up with a snap, There was a "chaotic" sound on the table and bench, and he bowed his head to Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi, who was on the side: "Your Excellency dares to send the main force of the Combined Fleet to attack the Taiwan Strait, and all the officers and men of the Navy will fight a bloody battle against the strong enemy to the end with the greatest determination."

Hamaguchi Yuyuki turned around slowly, his face was pale and flushed red, his burly body was already thin and couldn't even hold up a Western stiff-necked dress, if it weren't for the light in his eyes that was still as sharp as ever, he would be almost like a living dead.

Seeing that the prime minister's body was weakening at a speed that could be discerned by the naked eye, the eyes of several ministers were sour, and tears were about to fall. During this time, the Japanese prime minister, who was bent on turning the tide, seemed to be suffering from some serious illness, but he refused to suspend his post to recuperate, and he was still overdrawing his vitality and sticking to his post. Of course, no one wants to be the prime minister of the Empire of Japan right now.

"Your Excellency, please allow the Combined Fleet to attack the Taiwan Strait" Taniguchi Naoma's eyes flashed with tears, and he nodded at the prime minister. Of course, Taniguchi Naoma knows what will happen to the combined fleet's attack on Taiwan, but at this critical moment, as the head of the Navy's military command, he must not say that he will not dare to attack...... Then there would be no way for him to sit in this seat.

Hamaguchi Yuki sighed, hunched over and walked a few steps, suddenly stood still, turned his head and smiled faintly at Taniguchi Shangzhen, who was about to cry: "The combined fleet is not allowed to attack, Taniguchi-kun, arrange for the destroyer to go to Keelung, and transfer all the important people and supplies out." ”

"Your Excellency" Taniguchi Naoma knew that this was the responsibility of Yuyuki Hamaguchi who was ready to bear the responsibility of losing his land and the charge of being a national thief......

According to intelligence, the Kuomintang forces in China have concentrated more than 1,000 combat planes on more than a dozen military airfields and two aircraft carriers on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, including 70 torpedo attack planes procured from the United States. In addition, dozens of submarines are infesting the waters near Taiwan, attacking passing Japanese ships, and the island of Taiwan has been blockaded.

With the current poor air defense and anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese Navy and the more than 100 combat planes on the three motherships to fight in the Taiwan Strait, the consequence could be the end of the Japanese Combined Fleet

"Losing Taiwan, the Japanese Empire still has a chance to recover, and getting Taiwan's support is tantamount to extending their claws to the South Seas...... Britain and the United States will definitely support the revival of the empire to contain China. But if the combined fleet is lost, the empire is afraid that the sun will really set. Hamaguchi's sharp eyes swept around the conference hall and said lightly: "I believe that all of you understand this truth." ”

"Hai" Taniguchi Naoma saw that there were steps to go down, and hurriedly bowed, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the wooden floor of the corridor, and then saw two royal entourages open the curtain and stand solemnly in front of the imperial entrance of the venue, and the palace minister Kido was the first to come out and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor Showa has arrived, and all the officials are welcome."

Everyone present stood up with an uproar, bowed their heads deeply in the direction of Emperor Hirohito, and then heard the sound of military boots stepping on the floor, and then Emperor Hirohito had already sat down on his high position, and Minister Kido said in a loud voice: "After the ceremony, the ministers will return to their seats."

There was a sound of chairs moving in the room, and everyone sat stiffly and looked at their emperor. Emperor Hirohito was still wearing his army and navy generalissimo dress, his expression was gloomy, and the eyes behind the small round glasses exuded a sharp gaze, slowly sweeping over the ministers. For this emperor who directly leads the army and navy, these Japanese ministers really have a bit of a headache, and even miss the Taisho Emperor who has a bit of a "hair" in his brain and likes to watch military parades on horseback more than all "puppets". If it were Emperor Taisho who was sitting here now, perhaps the cabinet would have had a little more to deal with the current predicament.

Hamaguchi Yuyuki left his seat and walked to Emperor Hirohito's throne and bowed deeply: "The ministers are very afraid, and the convening of this joint meeting of the Five Ministers and the General Staff in front of the Imperial Court is really to discuss what kind of response strategies our imperial army and navy will adopt under the current turbulent and turbulent Japanese war. ”

Emperor Hirohito glanced at the sick prime minister, and just said lightly: "Qing is loyal to the country, and he hopes to be honest about state affairs, and he will not live up to my trust." ”

Hamaguchi respectfully stepped back and stood in front of his seat, his eyes scanning the rest of the ministers attending the meeting over and over again, as well as the so-called "important ministers" with unfathomable expressions, did not speak for a long time, and finally he knocked lightly on the table: "Gentlemen, now that my great Japanese empire is facing a difficult juncture unprecedented in decades. Since the Meiji Emperor Gogoku, the country has flourished, and the people have united as one, creating the empire's current status in East Asia and the world. However, since the unification of South China in the 13th year of Taisho era, the empire's old rival China has rapidly revived, and the empire's hegemony in East Asia has been greatly challenged. In particular, after the three-year Showa economic crisis in which Shandong defeated the four-year economic crisis of the Showa period, the empire faced a difficult situation of economic recession and a sharp decline in exports. In order to get rid of the declining situation, use the resources of the East Asian continent to improve the embarrassment of the empire, and prevent the reunification of China, the old enemy of the empire, so as to ensure that the hegemony of the empire in East Asia will not be challenged. The empire had no choice but to launch an incident in Manchuria, seize the two provinces of Liaoji, and foster pro-Japanese forces in order to ensure the Manchurian and Mongolian lifeline of the empire......"

Hamaguchi stopped here, his eyes were full of sadness, his white beard kept shaking, and finally sighed deeply: "But our 700,000 army and the navy with absolute superiority have suffered an unprecedented defeat in the Bohai Bay Battle, especially the destruction of the Navy's First Foreign Fleet...... After the post-war naval research and analysis, it was found that the hegemony of the empire in the East had changed hands, and the South China Navy was already the hegemon of the East sea. ”

"Nani" Emperor Hirohito suddenly stood up and shouted loudly regardless of etiquette: "Doesn't the empire have the third largest naval fleet in the world, which is enough to dominate the East?" Didn't China not even have a battleship or even a decent heavy cruiser? How could it be that Shina became the hegemon of the Oriental Sea? ”

Hamaguchi Yuki glanced at the descendant of this god weakly, and said in a low voice: "The navy did not expect that the planes and submarines would be so powerful, and the empire's powerful surface fleet did not even see the face of the enemy...... There will be no air superiority, no strong anti-submarine capabilities, this naval battle will not be fought at all, there will be no way to fight. And now the South China Army is amassing troops along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, it seems that ...... It seems that there is an intention to invade Taiwan, the territory of the Empire...... Taiwan is now empty of defense, with an army of only more than 10,000 people, and it is expected that it will be difficult to hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”

"What does it mean that it's hard to hold out until reinforcements arrive?" Hearing such sensational news, Emperor Hirohito stepped down from his throne three or two steps, stood in front of Hamaguchi Yuyuki, and said loudly: "Do you mean that Taiwan will be captured by the Shina people?" That...... That's the territory of the empire, it's the empire...... How could China attack the territory of the empire? How is this possible? Is it true that Shina is already above the Empire? Army, navy, do you just watch the empire invade by the enemy and do not stop it? ”。

"What can the Army and Navy do to stop it?" Hamaguchi smiled bitterly: "Now that the sea power is in the hands of the Shina people, the remaining capital ships of the Combined Fleet are necessary to defend the empire's homeland, and they must not be lost in the Taiwan Strait in vain." ”

Emperor Hirohito didn't know what to say for a moment, Japan would still be invaded by enemy countries, although it was not a native country, but after all, it was also drawn on a map of Japan, which was recognized by the whole world. And what made him even more unbearable was that his prime minister actually said that there was no way to defend Taiwan and that he would give up such a large piece of land as Taiwan

"No, I will never allow it, I will never allow Taiwan to be abandoned" Emperor Hirohito was a little angry: "Taiwan must be built, and I will never allow an inch of the country's land to fall." ”

"But the Imperial Navy is no match for the Chinese aircraft and submarines, and the Imperial has no way to send the Army to the island of Taiwan." Hamaguchi explained, "The Empire's Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses in the last Battle of Bohai Bay, and the remaining capital ships had to be used to secure the homeland and transport supplies in the Sea of Japan. That is the key to the survival of the empire and the maintenance of the war, and it must not be tolerated. ”

Hamaguchi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation is that even if the empire buries the combined fleet, it will not be able to keep Taiwan. However, the empire could still hold on to Manchuria and not let go, and offered to China to exchange Manchuria for Taiwan. As long as the Empire defeated a few attacks by the Kuomintang army in Manchuria, they would have conceded to the Empire. But if the empire loses the combined fleet in vain in order to rescue Taiwan, then the empire will use their maritime superiority to cut off the connection between the empire mainland and the Korean Peninsula, and turn the Kwantung Army and the Korean garrison into a lone army, and then the empire will be finished. ”

The more Emperor Hirohito listened, the more angry he became, and this Hamaguchi Yuyuki actually suggested that he abandon Taiwan without a fight, isn't this non-resistance doctrine? is still full of nonsense, what can't be buried in vain by the Combined Fleet, as if the Combined Fleet is sent to Taiwan to resist and the whole army will be annihilated, and after the collapse of the Combined Fleet, even the Great Japanese Empire will be finished, isn't this the theory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the destruction of the country? He turned out to be a Japanese traitor, why didn't I see it in the past?

"Taniguchi-qing, can the combined fleet attack?". Hirohito also ignored Prime Minister Hamaguchi, and walked straight up to Naoma Taniguchi, the head of the Navy's Military Command.

Where did Taniguchi dare to slack off, he hurriedly stood upright, and then bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the officers and men of the United Fleet are ready to be loyal to Your Majesty." ”

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Shina Navy?" Hirohito asked again.

Taniguchi Naoma's face turned red, his head was lowered, but the corner of his eye glanced at Hamaguchi Yuyuki, who was thrown aside by Hirohito, Hamaguchi knew that the other party was asking for a plan from him, but now that the emperor was asking, he couldn't 'interject', so he had to gently shake his palm to Taniguchi.

Seeing Hamaguchi's gesture, Taniguchi took a deep breath: "No ......" Hearing these two words, Hirohito's eyebrows wrinkled, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Taniguchi was about to be furious when he saw this, so he quickly gritted his teeth and changed his words: "There is no problem"

"Roar." Emperor Hirohito nodded, and then slowly walked to the chief of the General Staff, General Kanaya Fansan, and asked softly: "Does the Army Staff Headquarters have a plan to defend Taiwan?" ”

"The Taiwan military has all along made all preparations for the strict defense of Taiwan." Kanaya Fan San didn't answer directly, Hirohito frowned slightly, his head shook slightly, and Kanaya immediately continued: "The General Staff Headquarters believes that the Taiwan Military Command is enough to undertake the heavy task of defending Taiwan against the invasion of the China Army, and the key now is to send more troops to Taiwan to strengthen the strength of the Taiwan Army, but whether these troops can arrive safely or not, the key is to win a decisive victory at sea." ”
