Chapter 252: The Great Ups and Downs
The 226 coup d'état refers to a military coup d'état that took place on February 26 this year.
The cause of the coup d'état was that the struggle between the imperial faction and the unification faction became white-hot, and a group of young officers of the imperial faction believed that their ideals could only be realized by killing all the high-ranking officials on the stage.
Therefore, on the 26th of February, the young officers of the Imperial Highway faction staged a military coup d'état, and launched a bloody massacre of high-ranking political officials.
After the coup d'état was suppressed, the unification faction completely took control of the entire political situation, and with this as a sign, the pace of the war to annex China suddenly accelerated.
After the defeat of the Black God Army, a quasi-wartime system was established at a meeting presided over by the Emperor, but within this quasi-wartime system, the composition of the personnel was not pure.
If the personnel are not pure, there will naturally be noise, and the noise is not small.
Since there is a murmur and the murmur is not small, it is natural that problems of one kind or another will arise in the preparations for war against China.
The military has long been extremely dissatisfied with this, and for this reason it forced the collapse of a cabinet.
After the 226 coup d'état, the unification faction took this opportunity to purge out all the political axes, especially the irresolute elements within the military, and left not a single one behind.
After the clean-up, the War Department and the General Staff Headquarters were all filled by mainland factions and Chinese generals, and the sincere and benevolent members of the quasi-wartime system were completely pure, because these mainland factions and Chinese generals were all guys who dreamed of how to swallow the whole of China in their stomachs.
Song Zheyuan only knew about the 226 coup d'état and the dispute between the ruling faction and the imperial faction, but he was not very interested in these, so he was not very clear about the subsequent changes.
After listening to Han Lihong's explanation, Song Zheyuan still didn't believe it, or didn't want to believe that he would really invade China in an all-out way.
The national strength of the country is much stronger than that of China, but no matter how strong the national strength of the country is, it cannot change the pattern that the country is too small and China is too big.
Instinctively defeating China and occupying and conquering China are completely two different concepts.
If there is a war, he will be able to fight anywhere in China, which Song Zheyuan absolutely believes, but if he occupies the whole of China, with the manpower of the capital, it will be like a handful of pepper noodles sprinkled into a big lake.
There are a lot of Han annihilation in China, but no matter how many Han annihilation there are, the quality and quantity cannot be compared with that of the late Ming Dynasty.
What's more, there are still so many Western powers that did not exist at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and these Western powers will not tolerate the monopolization of China.
Therefore, Song Zheyuan didn't believe it, he didn't believe that he would be so stupid.
Han Lihong said: "Military seat, it is impossible for such a big thing to go without a trace. ”
Song Zheyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to find it?" ”
Han Lihong said: "It's very simple, military seat, before the war, I will inevitably increase my troops on a large scale, at least I must transfer the army from the mainland to the northeast and North Korea." ”
After a pause, Han Lihong said again: "The number and strength of the garrison troops in North China will continue to increase. ”
Song Zheyuan understood the meaning of Han Lihong's last sentence of "quantity and strength". It is not surprising that the number of troops stationed in North China has increased, but it would be unusual if heavy weapons were also greatly increased. From this point of view, the results are indeed very convincing.
If this was said by someone else, Song Zheyuan still wouldn't believe it, but what Han Lihong said, it would be different.
Song Zheyuan was excited, and the dream of the king of North China had just shown a little bit, but he was uprooted, and he was always played with by Lao Jiang in applause, but he was unconscious.
It's ridiculous.
After a moment of silence, Han Lihong said: "The military seat, Chairman Jiang has always only seen one layer more than others, although he seems to be more powerful than anyone else, but he always uses villain means to march the affairs of the military state, and he always lacks the general atmosphere, so he can't make great achievements after all, and now he looks at the military seat like this." ”
Han Lihong's judgment of Lao Jiang went to Song Zheyuan's heart, and he immediately grabbed the itch in his heart, and he always felt so, so he never really admired Jiang from the heart.
Han Lihong's words had always been what he wanted to say but couldn't say, however, Song Zheyuan didn't understand the last sentence about him, he looked at Han Lihong and asked, "Lihong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Han Lihong said: "Junzuo, I said that you are standing in a once-in-a-lifetime position, as long as you seize the opportunity, a mere North China king is not enough to even be a footcloth for you." ”
Han Lihong never lied, Song Zheyuan's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Lihong, how do you say this?" ”
Han Lihong said: "Military seat, as soon as the war begins, it will be a situation of the all-people war of resistance, and anyone who goes against this general trend will be shattered into powder." At that time, if the military seat seizes the opportunity and inflicts heavy damage on the army, the prestige will be unparalleled for a while. After that, the military seat will be able to lead the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army to live in one place, which can not only fight for the country, but also continue to develop and grow itself. So, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Junza, do you think what kind of situation it will be like at that time? ”
If it's true, then the situation naturally doesn't say, but can you really beat me?
Han Lihong saw it, and he asked, "Junzao, are you worried that you won't be able to beat me?" ”
Han Lihong is young, but wise as a demon, Song Zheyuan nodded.
Han Lihong said: "Junzao, how do you think I will fight once the war starts?" Or, how do you fight to win? ”
There is nothing to think about, Song Zheyuan said: "I will inevitably drive straight into the country and defeat the Nanjing political axe as quickly as possible." ”
Nodding, Han Lihong said: "What Junzuo said is very right, but, Junzao, if I can't achieve this goal, and the result is that I can't gnaw Lao Jiang, at that time, what will be the next situation?" ”
After thinking for a while, Song Zheyuan's face gradually brightened, and he said, "The war will be stalemate." ”
"You're right." Han Lihong said: "Military seat, the battle will definitely be a stalemate war, that is, a war of attrition. Think about it, once you enter this state, is it inevitable that you will be defeated? ”
Although there is a huge disparity in the national strength of China and the two countries, Song Zheyuan led people to fight the little devils, and on the battlefield, how he was afraid of his own incorporation, so under the guidance of Han Lihong, it was easy to come to the same conclusion as Han Lihong.
While Song Zheyuan was pondering, Han Lihong said again: "Junzao, think about it again, if you fight a protracted war, is it the best opportunity for you to develop your strength. Moreover, not only you, but also Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Liu Xiang, Long Yun and others? ”
This is reasonable, and Song Zheyuan agrees.
In any case, what Han Lihong said was at least right in the general direction, as for what to do in the future, let's talk about it in the future, after a moment of silence, Song Zheyuan made up his mind, and he asked: "Lihong, how do you reply to me now?" ”
Han Lihong smiled.
Han Lihong smiled, Song Zheyuan also smiled, he felt that Han Lihong at this moment was like a little fox who quietly stole a chicken.
