Chapter 307: The Wei Money War
"Do you want peace talks? Why bother in the first place when you know today? I told you a long time ago, they are not easy to mess with, you don't believe it, and now tens of thousands of people have died and finally believed? ”
Yang Feng said to Johnson speechlessly.
Truman wants peace talks, then he is undoubtedly the best intermediary, after all, he did a very good job as an intermediary last time, although because of his obstruction, Xinhua gained time to arm itself with a large number of Soviet arms, but also allowed the U.S. Army to avoid entering the northern part of Goryeo in the coldest season, which the 1st Marine Division felt the most, although they only caught up with the tail of winter, but the cold of that ghost place is still memorable.
Johnson looked at him with some embarrassment.
"Since it's a peace talk, what are your goals for peace talks?"
Yang Feng asked.
"We hope that the two sides will continue to cease fighting at the original demarcation line, and that the situation between the north and south of Goryeo will continue to be maintained on the peninsula."
Johnson said.
"I'll convey it to you, as for whether they accept it, then I can't guarantee it, in fact, I think it's a bit hanging, after all, this kind of thing is usually from the Line of Actual Control, you want them to retreat such a large area at once, and you have to give you out of Seoul, anyway, I will definitely not do it, Goryeo is only a little bigger."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, Comrade Li quit, although in his heart, he was more accepting of the division between North and South Goryeo, but in the current situation, it was impossible for him to give up such a large area of control, including Seoul, otherwise how could he face Stalin and the comrades of North Goryeo?
Therefore, he did not hesitate to reject the proposal for peace talks conveyed by Yang Feng.
The conditions he put forward for peace talks are that the two sides cease fire along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which is the Han River. But this is also unacceptable to the people of the United States. After all, this means that Seoul is gone. Even the capital is gone, Syngman Rhee is still a fart!
Don't forget that Syngman Rhee is also under great pressure, His Majesty the King is still in the south, and now that even Gwangju is under the king's will, if he can't even get Seoul back, who will follow him in the future?
Of course, they were not prepared for sincere peace talks, and no one was a fool, and under the condition that the volunteers maintained their superiority on the battlefield, it was impossible to rely on the negotiating table to make them retreat hundreds of kilometers. The peace talks are just a smokescreen, and it is true that we can reserve our strength and continue to fight, and it is meaningless no matter how we talk about it. As for the principle of maintaining the pre-war demarcation line between the two sides in the future, Truman was sincere in this regard, he was not prepared to continue to fight north, the limitation of the Volunteer Army was logistics, and the further north they went, the shorter their logistics supply line became, and it was so difficult to fight now, let alone continue to go north.
But there are serious differences, and at least bridges of dialogue have been built. The next thing is nothing more than the final say on the battlefield, if Comrade Li has the ability to stop the US army. Truman naturally had nothing to say, and similarly, if the US army could break through the defense line of Seoul, Comrade Li would have nothing to say there, and to put it bluntly, he would have to solve it with his fists in the end.
The U.S. military is still massively increasing its troops, and Comrade Li is still struggling to replenish ammunition for the front line, and both sides are preparing for the next big battle.
Although the continuous bombing of the U.S. military turned the areas controlled by the free Japanese into charcoal, and it is said that more than 20,000 innocent civilian casualties were caused on the ground, but on the ground they were caught in the vast sea of people's war. The Liberty Japanese Army, which was unable to confront them head-on, cleverly adopted Comrade Li's tactics, quickly retreated into the mountains and forests, and constantly attacked the US troops in small detachments, causing the 1st Marine Division to be exhausted and suffering increasing casualties every day.
The marksmanship of those Japanese veterans is very accurate, and the AK47 is also the best weapon in this environment.
Moreover, the 1st Marine Division not only had to fight with the Social Workers guerrillas, but also had to be careful of the enemy behind them at all times, and those Self-Defense Force soldiers who fought with them against bandits did not fail to shoot them with black guns, and the vast majority of these guys had fought bloody battles with them on the battlefield, and no one of them had a relative or friend who had died at the hands of the US military, and when they saw the back of the US soldiers in front of them, they all had the urge to shoot them.
This kind of thing has happened many times, anyway, after the fight, just drag the gun to find the free Japanese army to join the gang, and there is no need to have any psychological burden at all.
General Smith was even so angry that he scolded Shigeru Yoshida in front of him, but the latter could only bow and bow his head and keep repeating: "I'm causing you trouble!" ”
Konima, is this something that can be solved by apologizing?
Fortunately, General Smith also knows that it is not easy for Yoshida Shigeru, he has no one else available except these veterans, and the new generation educated after the war is more at ease, but the problem is that they have not even touched a gun, how can they go to the battlefield to fight the guerrillas composed of those veterans? It will take at least a few months of training.
At present, the U.S. government is using the assistance of the U.S. government to form ten divisions, all of which are a new generation taught by U.S. instructors, these soldiers should still be assured, of course, they don't dare to fully guarantee, but the problem is that it takes time for them to go to the battlefield, and before that, only the U.S. military and these veterans who may betray at any time can be in charge of fighting.
In addition, to the madness of the United States, they have never been able to cut off the logistical supply of the Social Workers, even if their fleet has bombed the ports of Izumo and other places into ruins, and surrounded Hiroshima Prefecture like an iron bucket, but the AK47s in the hands of the Free Japanese Army still keep spraying bullets outward.
Of course, they don't know that now the Social Workers even have their own arsenal.
"You say they can produce their own munitions?"
Yang Feng looked at Hu Hao in amazement, this news really surprised him.
"They themselves say, as long as you have money, you don't need anything, don't forget, the military industrial capacity of the Japanese country is the first in Asia, but the vast majority of those who have lived a difficult life in these years are unemployed workers in the cities, not to mention bullets and grenades, there are raw materials and machines, even if they are allowed to build aircraft carriers, it is no problem.
Especially the raw materials.
In fact, the machine is good to say, during this period of time in the process of fighting local tyrants, they got a lot of machines, the production of bullets and grenades is no problem, although the quality and the genuine product is very different, but they are completely usable, the output is not high but barely able, but the lack of raw materials can not be solved, can only rely on the outside to buy secretly, fortunately at this time they want to buy raw materials from the outside is not difficult, the key is that there must be money. ”
Hu said with a smile.
Yang Feng found that he had indeed made a mistake before, he had forgotten what kind of country the Japanese country was, it was the only industrial country in Asia, it was able to build aircraft carriers more than 20 years ago, and even could build a change like the Yamato, of course, there would be no shortage of skilled workers, in fact, they should have countless skilled workers.
And in the war, because of the need to avoid the bombing of the US military, the Japanese transferred a large number of military production to small civilian workshops, that is to say, they not only have skilled workers, but even have a complete set of production management processes, the only thing they can't obtain, that is, raw materials, after all, the Japanese country itself is extremely short and lacks raw materials, whether it is steel, explosives or copper and lead, and other things, as well as fuel for small diesel generators.
But fortunately, these can be purchased from outside, and as for how to ship them into their hands, this must have their own way.
"Then give them money and tell Xiong Ze that as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem."
Yang Feng said casually.
This is really not a problem, the yen banknotes he printed are piled up, it is not easy to want this, and his yen banknotes are no different from the real ones, they can't be real anymore, they are the same as those printed in the Japanese silver money printing machine, because he is exactly the same from the banknote printing paper to the ink to the machine template.
These yen banknotes can not only allow Kumasawa to buy anything he wants, but also destroy the financial order of the Wa Kingdom, so why not kill two birds with one stone!
He had nothing to lose anyway.
Otherwise, the problem of the supply of arms to the free Japanese country is indeed very troublesome, and before that, he mainly sent it by submarines, and then the fishing boats picked up the goods and transferred them to the shore, and then transported by the transport teams organized by the Social Workers Party to their troops by bicycles or horses, but after the US navy blockaded the coast on a large scale, this method was already very dangerous, and it was easy to be run into by warships.
Later, it became smuggled ashore outside the US blockade area, and then those Jinyi guards were responsible for transporting them from the land to the periphery by land, and the Social Workers Party itself found a way to pass through the blockade line of the Japanese government, but this was also unsafe and dangerous. As for the helicopter taking off and dropping from the sea, this must not be played, in order to deal with the Soviet bombers, the United States people built countless radar stations in the country, and the helicopter is difficult to penetrate even at ultra-low altitudes.
So he had been struggling with how to ensure the supply of the Free Japanese Army, but since they had the ability to solve it themselves, there was no need to worry about it at all, give them enough money and let them solve it themselves!
As for the consequences of these yen banknotes, this is none of his business!
In this way, huge amounts of yen bills began to flow into the hands of the Socialist Workers' Party, and then flowed out of their hands, outside their control areas, into all kinds of raw materials for the manufacture of arms, or through secret transportation channels or simply bribing the military and police of the blockade line and then into their arsenals, turning into bullets fired at the US army, and at the same time quietly creating more and more serious inflation in the Japanese country, making the life of the Japanese people more and more difficult, and the resentment against the government became more and more serious, and the strength of the free Japanese army, And it keeps growing.
In short, the civil war of the Japanese kingdom began to enter a stage that could be called a benign development.
At the same time, a large-scale battle is about to begin in a small town in southeastern Pakistan. (To be continued.) )
