40. Conspiracy
"China said that the war was completely triggered by the provocation of the Entente, and that China and the Entente were both members of the Entente, and it is an ironclad fact that China sent hundreds of thousands of people to support the European battlefield of the Entente Powers. But as a member of the Entente, we have been repeatedly selected, our people have been slaughtered, our dignity has been trampled on, and we will fight to the end. We are confident that we have a population of nearly 500 million, and we have made preparations for a war damage budget of 10 million casualties and 5 million casualties. There is no winner or loser in this battle, and we will never give up. We hope that the Entente, allies and other countries will strictly abide by the international laws of war and maintain the principle of neutrality."
Wu's declaration at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly spread around the world, causing an uproar in the world.
"Ten million casualties, five million killed, 500 million people." These data are a headache for all countries in Europe and the United States, which is simply astronomical. But the most important thing is not these figures, but China's show to the world that they are also members of the Entente, and that they did send hundreds of thousands of people to Europe to support the world war.
China's insistence that it is an ally of the Entente makes it impossible for Britain, France, and the United States, which are members of the Entente, to excessively suppress China, otherwise it will be impossible for the people and the military to support the agitation, and it will be impossible for the opposition parties at home to support the armed intervention of various countries. After all, what China says is true, and if the British and French powers betray and suppress their allies in the blink of an eye, how will they gain support in the future? If they are ungrateful, will any allies believe them? This is a question of international credibility and national credibility. Although these things are not valuable, Britain and France need to rely on them to maintain world domination and established order.
It is untenable to say that China is taking advantage of the danger of the people, because China declared war on China 10 days before the earthquake, and with the current technology, no country has the ability to predict the earthquake disaster 10 days in advance. For this reason, China is challenging the state of the best that has developed to the strongest state after the trade stimulus of the world war, and the earthquake is just an accident, and the book is just bad luck. However, before the earthquake, whether it was a land battle or a naval battle, the book was completely defeated, proving that China has the ability to defeat the city. And China completed the reunification in the war, which was never expected by other countries, and China's strength will only become stronger after reunification.
"I'm really unlucky!" For this reason, after reading the newspaper, the British and French civilians could only sigh like this, and then hang up on their own business. The pain of the world war has become unbearable for them, and they do not want to be involved in it anymore.
"Bombing" the dense airspace over the port of Busan, a dense group of planes continued to drop bombs, and the violent explosions destroyed the port's defenses, and the officers and men and staff of the wharf flew with flesh and blood. In the shadow of death, countless people wailed and fled.
"Airplane, airplane" Yamamoto Fifty-six stared blankly at the sky, at the moment he was just a lieutenant colonel. This terrible air raid made him deeply feel the power of the air force, and the plane soaring in the blue sky dropped not only bombs, but also Hades stickers.
Yamamoto 56 clenched his fists tightly, and secretly swore in his heart: If I can live, I must desperately ask the empire to build the navy's aviation. But before this thought came to him, he saw a cloud of flames rising from the sea in the distance, which made his pupils immediately contract, and then he heard the roar of the cannon shaking the whole sky, and the sharp cannon shells whistled like the sound from hell, making his whole body cold.
He tried his best to hold the binoculars and looked, and saw that there were more than a dozen warships on the sea, and there were a large number of transport ships behind them, and dense people could be seen on them. He knew that it was not an ordinary person, it must be the Chinese army, which used its air force to destroy the coastal defense facilities in the port of Pusan, and then used naval artillery strikes to cover the landing operations of the army. Once the squadron occupies Busan and takes the port, the DPRK will not be able to obtain any supplies and support from the mainland with the current situation in which the Chinese navy controls the sea.
"North Korea is finished!" The corners of Yamamoto's mouth were full of bitterness, this port did not have much shore fire resistance, and the bombing of the air force had become without any protective power, and the defenders did not have strong weapons to withstand the naval artillery attack to prevent the landing of the Chinese army. He pulled out his command knife and wanted to stop it in despair, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "I can't die, I must keep my surname and let the navy and the empire know the important surname of the aviation!" ”
Yamamoto Fifty-six gritted his teeth and decided to leave, looking back at the port of Busan, he had already seen several old Chinese warships quickly approaching the dock for fire suppression, and the troop carriers with fire support had already been admitted to the Busan pier, and there were constantly Chinese soldiers rushing to the pier, many of them were hit by the soldiers who blocked the pier, but more people quickly broke through
Seeing this scene, Yamamoto Isoroku has already determined the ending of Busan, and even the ending of North Korea, if he doesn't leave now, it's hard to say if he can go later.
Yamamoto Isoroku left decisively and rushed to Ulsan overnight, where he heard that Busan had fallen and the whole Ulsan was in chaos, and Hashina and the officers and soldiers were terrified. He didn't care much, found the defenders, and after identifying himself, he said that he had important information and must immediately rush back to his homeland and personally report to the top of the navy. The boat that might have gone had already left, so he gritted his teeth and found a fishing boat, hired a few expatriates and drove the boat out to sea
------------
"Sound of the East and the West!?" Muto Nobuyoshi looked at the telegram with a gloomy face.
All the officers and staff officers of the headquarters understood what Busan meant to the troops stationed in Korea, but what could they do? The DPRK is already short of troops, and last month it sent two divisions to reinforce the Shandong Peninsula and was dumpled at sea, while the garrison in the DPRK really has only three divisions left, which are three divisions that have not been mobilized, each division has only more than 10,000 people, and the mobilized overseas Chinese have barely formed three divisions, but the combat effectiveness is far from the standard, but it has to face the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, where can it defend in all aspects?
Umezu Mijiro laughed miserably: "Shina has invested two main divisions in Busan at one time, and there is no doubt that it is necessary to completely cut off the connection between us and the empire mainland, and in less than two days, all important ports such as Ulsan, Masan, and Pohang will fall." Gentlemen, get ready for the jade to be broken. ”
Muto Nobuyoshi said in a deep voice: "Only by fighting to the death with the mentality of broken jade can there be a glimmer of life." The current situation is not a crime of war, it is an irresistible natural disaster of manpower. The empire has asked Britain, France, the United States and other powerful countries to mediate, and if it is supported by mediation, there will be a way to survive. His words finally calmed the officers of the command a little.
Arrange for other people to do things, in the conference room.
Umezu Mijiro said a little dejectedly: "Your Excellency Commander, if there is no normal earthquake, can the empire win this war?" ”
Muto Nobuyoshi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Umezu Mijiro Osa, are you doubting the power of the empire?" ”
Umezu Mijiro said bitterly: "Your Excellency Commander, isn't it worth doubting? The 5th and 9th Divisions were completely annihilated in a short time, and there was a powerful artillery in China, which was no less powerful than a giant cannon of 300 mm; The navy's two naval battles were completely annihilated, and the loss of sea supremacy was inevitable; There are also advanced aircraft in China that can provide fire support and even suppress the artillery groups of the Imperial Army; Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the infantry in China, at least their infantry firepower was almost three times that of the Imperial Army. Emperor [***] Bei is already far behind, how to win? ”
Muto Nobuyoshi was furious and wanted to reprimand, but when he saw Umezu's burning gaze, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Umezu-kun, are you angry that the empire provoked a war in Shandong?" Actually, there is nothing wrong with that. In East Asia, it is said that China cannot coexist, and there must be a war. The empire needs to plunder the wealth of China to rise quickly, and for China to rise, the first thing is to defeat the empire and protect their interests, and the contradictions are irreconcilable. Unfortunately, the empire's strength was not strong enough, due to the world war, Britain and France and other powers had no time to look east, and the empire gradually controlled the main warlord power in China, causing dissatisfaction among the powers. The empire was originally prepared to strike at the beginning of the rise of the Nanjing political axe in China two years ago, but it was strongly obstructed by the great powers, and the empire was incapable of turning the other cheeks around the powers. However, the development of the political axe in Nanjing was so fast that the great powers were afraid. In just a few years, the output of iron and steel is 3 million tons, not to mention industrial development, airplanes, automobiles, and warships have been built, and with China's huge population, once it develops, the consequences will be unimaginable, at least in East Asia, there will be no place for the European and American powers to gain a foothold in the future. For this reason, the West finally acquiesced in the interference of the empire in the internal affairs of China, because the great powers needed an obedient and only relatively powerful China that could contain the empire, rather than a unified and powerful Chinese empire that could compete with the Western world. ”
Umezu Mijiro said bitterly: "It's just that they didn't expect Shina to become so powerful, did they?" Their purpose was to make the empire and China consume each other, not only to achieve the goal of weakening the empire and China, but also to obtain benefits. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the strength of Shina was beyond their imagination, and what they didn't expect was that a major earthquake would break out in Imperial Tokyo, so that the empire would lose the ability to fight. ”
Muto Nobuyoshi sighed, "That's right. If only China is stronger, the Great Powers can also come to the aid of the Empire, so that the Empire can defeat China at the cost of exhaustion, and let the Empire continue to suppress China without threatening them. But everything changed in the Great Kanto Earthquake, the empire was unable to fight anymore, and the rise of China was unstoppable. If you want to suppress China, unless they take action personally. However, the cost of ocean warfare is too great, and the world war has made the people of the Western world war-weary, not to mention that China is also a member of the Entente, even if they want to send troops, they will not get support. Unless," he said, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Umezu Mijiro blurted out: "Unless Shina makes a move on them first?" ”
Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head and said, "Shina needs to accumulate strength, and it won't take the initiative in a short period of time." The Great Powers wanted to use troops against China, unless China did something that seriously harmed the interests of the Great Powers, and for the sake of interests, the Great Powers persuaded some people to support war against China. ”
Umezu Mijiro blurted out again: "Forcing Shina to abolish the unequal treaty!?" ”
