Chapter 497: Marching to Korea
As Zhukov's hundreds of thousands of troops gradually advanced, both sides understood that the Finnish war had come to an end.
Relying on the superiority of numbers and equipment, the Soviet army simply pushed the battle line to the vicinity of the Finnish capital, seeing that the war was about to end, but Zhukov's heart was not happy at all. Just the day before yesterday, news came from the front that the 44th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army, which had been surrounded in the forest for half a month, was annihilated by the Finnish army. The fact that the 25,000-strong troops of the 44th Division would be completely annihilated by the 6,000-strong troops of the Finnish Ninth Infantry Division at this time was really a cold joke for the Soviet army, which was already in control of victory.
"We must end the war in Finland as soon as possible." Zhukov secretly made up his mind in his heart, in Zhukov's eyes, the Finns were heroic and tenacious, but limited to the small land area and the scarcity of the population, he was already destined to be not an order of magnitude opponent with Soviet Russia. In Zhukov's heart, what he really feared was the threat from China in the east and from the German side in Europe, and the Chinese government had shown an increasingly belligerent posture since Su Tong came to power, and the most puzzling thing was that this person seemed to be able to do many unexpected things as if he could use magic.
The three-year Siberian War almost brought down the economic development plan of the entire Soviet Russia, but this Soviet boy was stunned that the land of Chahar was inextricably opposed to the huge Soviet Russian government. Zhukov couldn't understand that in the large-scale battle of millions of people on both sides, the daily consumption of weapons, ammunition and supplies was a daily figure, and the Soviet Russian army was about to be unable to hold on with the support of a huge country, but this Su Tong seemed to be effortlessly transporting countless supplies from the rear every day.
Especially after the opening of the railway from Chahar to Siberia the year before last, Zhukov found that the battle was becoming more and more difficult. The heavy artillery shells fired by the other side every day are like hailstones, they are simply hitting from morning to night, and this kind of bomb volume makes the Soviet Russians, who are known for their artillery, unbearable. According to Zhukov's statistics, in the last two months of the Siberian standoff, the Chahar army fired nearly 100,000 shells per day.
This never-ending shelling finally prompted the Russian government to take the initiative to propose a settlement.
"Alas!" Zhukov sighed, at this time he seemed to see the scene of Su Tong, a militant who smiled and waved his baton, commanding millions of troops to pour into Lake Baikal and march towards Moscow along the Trans-Siberian Railway, if that really happened, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the Soviet Russian government.
Just when Zhukov was full of thoughts, Su Tong also formally put forward a request to the Japanese government for the return of Taiwan to the Japanese government through official channels, but this demand made the whole Japanese government angry.
"Baga, it's okay if the people of China drive us out" Now they don't even let Taiwan go? In the base camp, Tada Jun was indignant.
"Taiwan is already the land of Japan! If we give up on Taiwan, it will be a crime against the whole of today! Hideki Tojo echoed.
In the conference room, the generals of the army were all in love, and only Ishihara Wan'er, who had just been ordered to return to China, was silent.
Seeing this, Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching coldly, asked, "Ishihara-kun, what do you think?" "I think Taiwan can give Taiwan back to China!" Ishihara's words stunned everyone.
"What! Ishihara-kun, are you confused? Or are you scared by the Chinese people? As soon as Hideki Tojo heard Ishihara's words, he immediately stood up and roared: "The land of Taiwan was bought by the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire with blood, how can you say that you will give up?" You coward! Ishihara sneered: "This land was bought with the blood of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, it seems that you have said this sentence before, but what is the result?" Didn't the imperial army run back to the "day" book in disgrace? I know that you all think that Japan has the support of a combined fleet, and even if the people of China send a fleet to attack Taiwan, they can take the opportunity to send a navy to destroy it, but what if the people of China do not come to attack Taiwan? ”
"Don't attack Taiwan?" , Hideki Tojo mocked, "It seems that Ishihara-kun is really stupid, and he can't even say anything, if the people don't attack Taiwan, do they dare to attack [Japan?" ”
Ishihara glanced at Hideki Tojo contemptuously, "I said before that you only have the wisdom of a superior soldier, and it seems that this sentence really did not wronged you." If we don't hand Taiwan back to the Chinese government, they may not attack Taiwan immediately, but they will attack here. With that, Ishihara's finger was heavily tapped on the map.
"Fresh!" "Yes, it's North Korea!" Ishihara nodded heavily.
"There are 200,000 imperial elites in Korea, how easy is it for the people of China to break through North Korea? Moreover, the terrain in Korea is rugged, and the chariot group of the Chinese people is of little use there. Hideki Tojo retorted.
"Yes" Korea and Taiwan are both important bases for the empire to re-enter China in the future, and they must not be abandoned. Although the Empire was temporarily defeated in the war in China, the Empire was not in despair to cede territory. ”
"When the empire's southward expansion plan is completed, after occupying the Philippines, Luzon and other places, it will naturally be able to obtain sufficient resources, and that is the time for the empire to re-enter China."
Seeing the excitement in the conference room, Ishihara shook his head helplessly. Why do these people in the military department always do things that are self-willing? This was the case at the time of the Lugou Bridge incident, "It is still like this now."
In the end, the Japanese government sent a reply to the Huaxia government, saying, "Taiwan is now an inalienable territory of the Great Japanese Empire, and it is impossible to cede it." If anyone wanted to forcibly seize it, the Great Japanese Combined Fleet would certainly use artillery to dispel the idea of the invaders. ”
"Hahaha", in the conference room of the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Su Tong looked at the reply letter sent back by the government of "Japan" and laughed angrily, "Look at it, this is the logic of the day itself, if something is in their hands, they will hold it tightly, and they will not let go of anything." ”
Jiang Baili also said contemptuously: "Does the Japanese government still think that the current Chinese army is still the same as it was three years ago? Now what the Japanese themselves rely on is nothing more than their combined fleet, and then there is the navy that bullies us and has no actual combat experience. ”
Su Tong waved his hand, "I have never thought that no army is born to fight, and actual combat experience is all based on fighting." Our army has also grown from scratch, from weak to strong, step by step, thinking that when our militia was first established, even small bandits dared to shout to record my skin, and now it has not grown stronger? ”
Everyone laughed when they heard Su Tong's words, everyone here had heard about Su Tong's formation of the militia group in Duolun four years ago, and at that time, even a small group of bandits regarded him as a piece of fat and wanted to take a bite, who would have thought that the head of the small militia group could grow into a president of a country with an army of five million and 450 million people?
Bai Chongxi, chief of the General Staff, also said with a smile: "I heard that the president at that time also said such a sentence when he lectured the soldiers of the militia group: Follow Lao Tzu, there is meat and wine. President, is there such a thing? ”
Everyone in the "Hahadai" conference room laughed back and forth after hearing this.
"Damn, who leaked what buddy said at the time." Su Tong touched his nose embarrassedly, "At that time, there was no way to do that situation, at the beginning of the establishment of the militia group, we only had less than three hundred people, and there were less than seventy soldiers who could fight after removing the old and weak." What to do? had to recruit soldiers, and the purpose of soldiers at that time was nothing more than to eat a bowl of food. Telling them the truth is that it is playing the harp to the cow, and that is the only way to motivate the soldiers. ”
Everyone stopped smiling when they heard this, Li Zongren looked at Su Tong and said with emotion: "Jianming, it's really not easy for you to get to where you are today." Everyone nodded in agreement, and in just four years, he went from the head of a militia group to the leader of a country, which is not something that anyone can do.
This time it was Su Tong's turn to be embarrassed, his family knew his own affairs, and he had today's achievements, but it all depended on the golden finger behind him.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Su Tong smiled, "Since the day itself doesn't give us face, we don't have to give them face." If people don't return Taiwan to us, then we have to take it ourselves, but before we recover Taiwan, we have to get North Korea in our hands first, and it will be regarded as the interest that Japan has occupied Taiwan for so many years! Gong Ning, you, the Minister of Defense, should also give an order for the troops to assemble in the Dandong area! ”
Jiang Baili nodded, "I can issue this order at any time, Jiansheng, has your staff made a plan?" ”
Bai Chongxi said solemnly: "Headmaster, the plan has been made a long time ago, just waiting for you and the president to approve." ”
"Okay, then let's take this old devil Mijiro Umezu first!"
With Su Tong's order, the 15th Group Army of the Huaxia National Defense Force stationed in Liaoning heard the wind and quickly assembled in Dandong. The Central Daily also published an inscription written by Su Tong himself: Fight across the Yalu River and liberate the whole of Korea.
Su Tong wrote in the article: "The Korean people who have been enslaved by the Japanese militaristic government stand up! The evil rule of Japanese imperialism in Korea will certainly not last long, and history has proven many times that justice will surely triumph over evil, and light will surely replace darkness. The Chinese National Defense Forces will join you in driving the invaders out of your land! ”! ~!
