[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 316: The Iwasaki Family Makes a Move (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! ）

Ma Zheng and others still underestimated the importance that the Japanese side attached to Iwasaki Jun, and learned that Iwasaki Jun did not die in the mining area, but was captured by Ma Zheng's subordinates.

You must know that in the past month, the entire North China Front Army has had a hard time going up to the commander Terauchi Shou and the ordinary soldiers. Under the large-scale propaganda of the Nationalist Government, the Japanese military set up a secret prison in North China to deal with Chinese prisoners of war and some Japanese leftists who did not obey discipline, and also set up a secret agency in North China to study viruses, and the cruel use of living people as experimental subjects was finally exposed.

At first, the Japanese government was still denying it, but when the Nationalist government presented a large amount of evidence, the Japanese government finally became a turtle with a shrunken head and remained silent.

As soon as these articles and evidence were exposed, they quickly aroused the scramble of the media in various countries, and in the eyes of the people of Western countries, this kind of behavior simply broke through the bottom line of human morality and law, and they condemned this behavior of the Japanese government one after another.

Especially in the United States, a large number of Americans took to the streets to hold demonstrations, on the one hand to support the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japan, and on the other hand, to urge the government to ban the delivery of strategic materials to Japan and assist the brutal Japanese in invading China.

At first, the U.S. government did not come forward because the number and scale of the demonstrations were not very large, but soon the scope of the demonstrations expanded to almost all states in the United States, and there were demonstrations in almost every city.

At this moment, the US government could not sit still, and the country's economy was just getting a little better. However, the shadow of the economic crisis has not yet emerged, and if everyone does not return to work, I am afraid that the government's previous efforts will be in vain. Moreover, in this era, if the people come out to make trouble every day, no one can guarantee that they will speak out about the unthinkable.

On November 2, 1938, the U.S. government announced that the U.S. government condemned Japan's shameless aggression against China. In order to help the Chinese resist this war, the US government is willing to provide necessary assistance to China, and Congress is already discussing a complete and feasible plan.

China was naturally extremely happy when the news came, and Chiang immediately sent a delegation headed by his eldest brother, Song Ziwen, to the United States to discuss specific matters with the US Government. But the Japanese side is not happy, knowing that if China and the United States reach an agreement, it will be a blow to Japan.

You must know that the reason why Japan dares to attack China so unscrupulously is to a large extent related to the attitude of the United States. After Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, the attitude of the United States has always been very ambiguous. On the one hand, it announced a high-profile policy of neutrality, but secretly it had a hot fight with the Japanese, and a large number of military supplies were transported to Japan by ships, and then turned into guns and bullets and transported to the Chinese battlefield.

Based on this, the Japanese side believes that the United States has no intention of intervening in the war between China and Japan, and that they still live on the isolationist and pacifist thinking of their first president, Washington, and that the United States has the unique protection of the two oceans, and that the disputes between other countries in the world have little to do with the United States. The United States does not need to be involved. In addition, the United States has important economic interests in Japan, which is one of the three important export markets for the United States. In the context of the current emergency large-scale recession, the Japanese market is particularly important for American capitalists, so Japan believes that the United States will definitely not intervene in this war and will support it for the sake of money.

In fact, as Japan expected, the United States did not impose economic sanctions on Japan, and Japan was still able to obtain strategic materials from the United States through trade and other means as easily as it did before the war. Take the two years of the war, for example. Munitions imported from the United States accounted for 55 percent of Japan's total military imports, of which oil accounted for 50 percent of Japan's total imports, and the amount of scrap steel used to produce weapons and equipment soared 40 times, with a value of $37.41 million, accounting for 90 percent of Japan's total imports of scrap steel.

Moreover, due to the attitude taken by the United States to avoid intervention during this period. The other powers were also reluctant to intervene in this matter, and the international organizations dominated by the Western powers naturally did not do anything, causing Japan to expand the scope of aggression even more brazenly. Therefore, the US policy of "avoiding involvement" in the Sino-Japanese conflict has to a large extent encouraged Japan's aggressive behavior.

It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to know these things, but how could Shouichi Terauchi, as the commander of the North China Front, not know. In Terauchi's view, Japan's war potential is actually very weak, and it is restricted by objective conditions, and even if all Japanese people tighten their belts, it is impossible to fight a war against the entire region like Germany during World War I.

Of course, if the opponent were a country like China, Terauchi would still be convinced that victory would be theirs.

However, due to the chain reaction caused by the brutality of the Japanese army, the U.S. government finally made a change, although the change was still small and not obvious, but it was still an unprecedented crisis for Japan.

There were also many people in Japan who saw the crisis, so while trying to remedy it, the dissatisfaction with the North China Front in Japan reached a peak. First of all, the commander of the Mongolian army, Hou Gong Chun, was ordered to return to China, but there was no specific arrangement, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the harem was finished, either going back to sit on the cold bench or directly incorporated into the reserves, and the military career was completely over.

Immediately afterwards, at the behest of the base camp, the Military Police Command of the North China Front dealt with more than 80 officers and more than 200 soldiers who had violated discipline, and 14 of them were brought to court-martial.

The most important thing is that even General Terauchi Shouichi has been frequently questioned by the base camp, and the vocabulary of the inquiry has gradually become more severe recently, and even the base camp has questioned the leadership of Terauchi Shouichi, which makes Terauchi Shouichi very dissatisfied, but there is nothing to be done.

Soon Terauchi Shouichi also realized that things seemed to be very unfavorable to him, and immediately asked the relationship to find someone, so as not to use him as the wronged boss of the black pot in the base camp. And the Terauchi family's power in the Japanese military circles is still very strong, and it soon became clear that the reason was all due to the pressure of the Iwasaki family behind the scenes.

Terauchi Shouichi naturally knew the reason why the Iwasaki family did something to him, and it was not because of the kid who ran to Kitachina without permission, but he lost his life because he thought he was right, not only harmed himself, but even others had to follow him unlucky.

If it were an ordinary family, Shouichi Terauchi wouldn't care at all. But now it is the Iwasaki family that is putting pressure on the base camp, which makes Terauchi Shouichi have to deal with it carefully. As one of the few generals of the Japanese army, Terauchi Shouichi naturally knew the strength of the Iwasaki family, and as one of the several major consortia that rose with Emperor Meiji, the Iwasaki family was stronger than people imagined.

Especially now the Iwasaki family controls almost all of the military production of the Great Japanese Empire, including heavy armaments such as warships, aircraft, and tanks, it can be said that the attitude of the Iwasaki family determines the combat capability of the army, navy and aviation, so even His Majesty the Emperor has to give the Iwasaki family a few thin noodles.

Although their temple family has a high prestige and power in the military world, it still can't be compared with the Iwasaki family, if the Iwasaki family is determined to do something with him, I'm afraid no one will dare to intercede for him. Harem Jun is an example, as a dignified lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, he was taken down without warning, and even the base camp did not ask for the opinion of the commander of the front army, and no one else interceded for him.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and at this moment, the intelligence officer sent back a message - Iwasaki Jun is still alive. In addition to the excitement, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the special high school to rescue Iwasaki Jun at all costs.

Aiko Sato immediately sent his most elite agents to infiltrate Guisui and prepare to wait for an opportunity to rescue Iwasaki Jun, but there was never a chance. However, the special high class was not for nothing, and through secret channels, it was learned that Ma Zheng's department hoped to solve the matter of the captives through dialogue.

Knowing that the Chinese wanted to negotiate, Terauchi Shouichi immediately instructed that he immediately send someone to contact Ma Zheng's department to negotiate the return of Iwasaki Jun and those imperial expatriates.
