Chapter 805: Recent Situation in Japan
At a time when China's domestic construction has begun and various institutional reforms have begun, the Japanese side is very dull. Because since the loss of the main battleship of the Combined Fleet, coupled with the bombing of the Etajima Naval Academy into ruins, the strength of the navy has been greatly reduced. At this time, Japan's so-called navy had become an "existing" navy, and their so-called navy only had a few warships for coastal defense, which could not reach the situation of the combined fleet's expeditions in the past. Japan's ministers are also preparing to discuss what to do in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do in the future in the Great Japanese Empire? The great cause of the Meiji Restoration cannot be stopped just like this. Especially after so many years of hard work, I can't just burn it down. So, ladies and gentlemen, what should I do if you think of an idea? Emperor Meiji shouted.
And the courtiers below were silent, obviously the situation was very unfavorable. Although the losses of the Japanese army were not large, the navy was fatal. At present, Japan does not have a navy, although it still has an army, but it may be surrounded by Wang Guorui's navy at any time. In this way, they must be very disadvantaged, and the next courtiers do not know what to do. And they couldn't think of a way at all, when Japan established a navy, it took decades of accumulation!
"Your Majesty, I don't think we have much of a problem. Although our navy has been destroyed, our shipbuilding equipment and various industrial systems have not suffered serious losses, so as long as His Majesty the Emperor can spend money, then we can build ships again. I think we can buy it, even if we can't make it, we can buy it. I think those Westerners need us. We need to drag the development of China. The Westerners must not want us to fall like this, so they will definitely support us and support us to drag down China! A Navy official said immediately.
But immediately someone from the army said, "Hmph, even if there is a warship, can you have anyone to drive it?" You don't expect the warship to be able to kill the enemy on its own, do you? ”
"You—" The admiral immediately burst into rage.
This army is obviously talking about the wind and cold, because this is a sarcasm of their naval talent, which has created a serious fault. After the destruction of the Combined Fleet, and then the destruction of the Etajima Naval Academy, a large number of students and archives were destroyed, so they suffered huge losses. Although Japan did not lose much in terms of high-level admirals, there was a serious fault in terms of mid- and low-level naval talent. This kind of fault is fatal, and although their upper echelons are "high-rise", they are of little use. No matter how good the strategy is, it must be executed by people, and if there is no strong execution, it is useless. They have enough generals at the top, though. However, in the middle and lower levels, there is simply no talent to control these warships.
If you go to a few random people, you may not be able to bring out even one percent of the performance of this warship. You think it's a fishing boat, and any few people can play it! For such a huge battleship, just starting is a systematic project, and if there are not enough talents, it is a pile of scrap metal. The army does not have this problem, the army's rifles can be fired even if they are not educated, and the artillery only needs to be trained for a few months. Even if you don't have a culture, you can use it. Although they may not be very accurate, they can have the ability to hurt the enemy. But the Navy is different. The navy is a technology-intensive service, and it is completely a barrel effect! If there is one less link, then this navy is scrap metal.
So this navy, even if it builds warships, Wang Guorui is not afraid. Even if the tonnage of Japanese warships is more than that of the British, Wang Guorui is not afraid at all. Because the naval talent system of the Japanese has been seriously faulted. Wang Guorui was not afraid of him at all. No matter how many warships the Japanese have, it will be for nothing. In fact, Wang Guorui's naval talent system is also lame, but at least it is much better than the Japanese. Wang Guorui's naval talent system was lame at best, but the Japanese even broke their legs and were amputated. Lame can also recover slowly. But it's too hard to get an amputated one to continue. Maybe Japan will not be able to restore the construction of the naval talent system without 20 years, but will Wang Guorui give them 20 years?
Emperor Meiji apparently also rebuilt the navy, which is obviously not good. And then, he thought about something else.
"You say, can North Korea be saved?" Emperor Meiji asked.
After hearing this, everyone also felt a sense of powerlessness in Emperor Meiji's heart, and now Emperor Meiji did not dare to ask for anything to conquer China, he just hoped to ensure the benefits he had already obtained, that is, he hoped to be able to keep the colony of Korea. But all the army officers also fell into a kind of bitterness, because this was too difficult. Although Wang Guorui does not plan to liberate North Korea immediately, Wang Guorui has deployed more than 100,000 troops in Northeast China, so there is no need to say anything at all, he is ready to pounce on North Korea at any time.
As for Russia, at the moment their Trans-Siberian Railway has not been repaired at all, so it is simply impossible to qualify as a threat to the Northeast. Of course, according to the current situation, Russia immediately built the Trans-Siberian Railway, and Andu was in vain. Wang Guorui sent that rocket Lori to attack the Trans-Siberian Railway and cut off their logistics, so no matter how many troops the Russian old Maozi sent, it would be in vain. Therefore, if the Russians did not solve the problem of logistics and supply routes, it was impossible for them to get involved in Northeast China.
So that army of hundreds of thousands, do you still need to talk about it? Who their imaginary enemy is, this doesn't need to say anything at all.
"Akashi, tell me what's going on in China? You're in charge of intelligence, tell me about it! Emperor Meiji asked.
And the deputy director of the intelligence department of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, Wang Guorui's number one undercover agent, and the head of China's intelligence in Japan, Genjiro Akashi, finally came forward.
"Your Majesty, at present, the people of China are in the process of adjusting the theater of operations, and the commander of the theater in charge of the Northeast Theater, that is, the theater where the hypothetical enemy is ours, is Tan Xiao, the commander of a new section. There is currently no complete assessment of his command ability, as he has no experience commanding at the theater level. However, the troops under their command are all elite troops, and their weapons are advanced, which is not something that ordinary people can easily ignore. The military weapons of these people are really against the sky. We don't know where they got them, and we couldn't have looked for them in the past. ”
"Hey!" Emperor Meiji sighed again.
Wasn't Emperor Meiji's biggest headache the problem of Wang Guorui's weapons? If you talk about military quality, then the problem and gap are not too big, and Emperor Meiji is not very desperate. However, if an excellent military quality is added to advanced weapons, it is not one plus one equals two, but an increase in geometric multiples. The two are mutually reinforcing, so one plus one is definitely greater than two, or even higher.
"Akashi, how are the intelligence officers you arranged in Shina? What's going on? Emperor Meiji asked.
Akashi Motojiro immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have already arranged for no less than 800 people to arrive in Shina, and then many various intelligence officers have also been appointed. I have already set up all kinds of intelligence stations, please rest assured. Our intelligence network on the China Continent is also very well established. ”
"Okay, look at the people's Akashi, look at you? They did so well that the intelligence network was restored so quickly, and the undercover personnel were planted. If you have half the power of Akashi, then I will be happy! Emperor Meiji said.
And Akashi Motojiro's majestic appearance is obviously very proud. And Emperor Meiji never dreamed that Genjiro Akashi had already given Wang Guorui a list of those Japanese intelligence officers and various undercover agents, and when the time came, he would be prepared for whether he wanted to find an opportunity to arrest him, or use counter-plots, or all kinds of situations. Those Japanese intelligence officers were monitored by Wang Guorui at any time. For example, some military dogs, those guys don't know at all, maybe the military dogs they adopt will actually monitor themselves at any time.
Since Wang Guorui laid off a large number of military dog troops, a large number of military dogs have been given to those various civil and military officials as pets. And those civil and military officials are also willing to adopt a "meritorious hero" who has been on the battlefield. But they don't know that these military dogs are actually protecting them on the one hand, and monitoring them on the other. Wang Guorui can monitor them at any time through the red alert system if necessary. Even if necessary, you can directly order the military dogs to execute them, so that everyone will just think that the dogs are disobedient, and they will not know that Wang Guorui ordered them.
Some Japanese intelligence officers have also been sent military dogs for various reasons, so that they can be monitored at any time. The lives of their spies are in Wang Guorui's hands at any time, and Wang Guorui is not afraid at all.
As for those intelligence stations, that is, it depends on when Wang Guorui will be removed. He could get rid of them whenever he wanted, and there would be no problem at all. Without Wang Guorui's cooperation, how could this Japanese intelligence organization be arranged so smoothly? In fact, isn't Wang Guorui deliberately cooperating to accumulate promotion capital for Akashi Genjiro?
As long as Genjiro Akashi can be further promoted, then he can control the Japanese political situation is a very huge advantage! Therefore, supporting this Akashi Genjiro has been Wang Guorui's plan all along. It's still useful to keep this Japan. (To be continued.) )
