"Your Majesty, in this morning's battle, the 14th and 21st Divisions of the Second Army have occupied Kitakyushu, annihilating more than 30,000 enemies and capturing more than 30,000. However, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Kyushu, Senior General Nozu Michiguan, quietly escaped two days ago, and according to the prisoners, Senior General Nozu Michiguan crossed the Kanmon Strait by fishing boat at night and fled to the Kanmon Strait. However, this is also the reason why the Japanese army in Kitakyushu collapsed so quickly. Now, the entire island of Kyushu is under the control of our army, and the Second Army is clearing out the remnants of the Japanese army! Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu reported to Wang Yuze. With the cooperation of the navy, the Second Army took Kyushu Island in only one week, and such a speed was indeed very amazing. However, this is also what the upper echelons of the empire want to see.

As far as China is concerned, the war is basically over, and the domestic army has begun to recuperate. At the same time, the country's focus has also shifted to economic construction. The huge amount of compensation obtained will be used for infrastructure construction and industrial upgrading, further improving the strength of the empire. At the same time, in terms of education and social security, it is necessary to further increase investment in order to realize Wang Yuze's promise to make the life of the people of the empire better and better. Therefore, although the war reparations obtained were large, money was used everywhere. It's still a bit inadequate.

"So. What's next? Where did the Eighth Army go? Wang Yuze asked. In the war against Japan. Only two armies, the Second Army and the Eighth Army, would be used, which was a strategy that had been laid out before. The Second Army attacked from the south to the north, while the Eighth Army landed directly at Tokyo and attacked the heart of Japan.

"The Eighth Army has already boarded and set off from Tianjin yesterday, and in six days it will be able to reach Tokyo Bay, when it will launch an attack on Tokyo! At that time, the Second Army will also be able to draw part of its forces. Crossing the Kanmon Strait under the cover of the Navy and attacking the southern part of Honshu. This will facilitate the imperial team to end this war as soon as possible. Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.

"Hmmm! That's it! In any case, before the end of the year, the war in Japan must be ended. In addition, after the war, only one group army will stay in Japan, and when the situation in Japan stabilizes, it will only need to garrison tens of thousands of people in Japan! Wang Yuze said. The cost of stationing troops overseas is relatively high, and Wang Yuze is really afraid that the garrison in Japan will make the imperial army develop the habit of bullying civilians at will, in this case, it will be more troublesome.

"Don't worry. 陛xià! By the end of the year, we will be able to end the war in Japan. But. Regarding the Second Army's practice in Kyushu, the military also disagreed, believing that the Second Army's arbitrary killing of Japanese, robbing Japan's wealth, and the accompanying rape in these processes would damage the majesty of the empire! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.

"I'll inform the cabinet and let them control the relevant remarks!" Wang Yuze said indifferently. His attitude towards Japan has always been that he wants to exterminate all the Japanese, and he has always been very disgusted with this kind of hypocrite who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In the twentieth century, all the great powers of the world will enter the stage of imperialism, in which all benevolence, righteousness and morality are all nonsense, and some are only competing for interests. In this process, any little mercy is a disservice to the empire and the people.

"Yes, Majesty, I see!" Xiong Wu originally had a lot to say, but Wang Yuze's statement made him swallow all his words, and at the same time secretly made a decision to unify the military's thinking after going back, so as not to cause Wang Yuze's dissatisfaction.

"By the way, how much money did the Second Army get from Kyushu?" Wang Yuze asked, he was more concerned about this than other things.

"It is preliminarily estimated that the Second Army has already collected almost 100 million yuan of gold and silver treasures in Kyushu, and if it is carefully scraped in the future, it is estimated that it can be increased to 200 million yuan!" Xiong Wu said. Because of the recklessness of the army, Japan has become very poor, otherwise, the Second Army will definitely gain more than that.

"Haha! 200 million yuan, that's pretty good. If it is used in the navy, twenty 'Qin-class' battleships can be built. And that's just Kyushu Island, Honshu Island is even richer, and if all the wealth of the whole of Japan were collected, it would be almost a billion yuan! Even if the 10 percent reward for the army is removed, there is still 900 million yuan left. Chief of Staff, I can tell you that I intend to devote all of the wealth I have collected from Japan to the development of the armed forces, and that the army, navy, and air force, in addition to the annual routine military expenditures, will use the money obtained from Japan as special funds for the development of the armed forces, which will be used to support the procurement of large-scale equipment, the research and development of new weapons, and the disabled soldiers and pensions, and so on! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, suddenly widened his eyes, saying that the military had already felt that military spending was insufficient, and if all the wealth obtained from Japan could be used for the development of the army, then many of the military's plans would be able to be carried out. The navy can build new battleships openly, the army can ensure that the existing army will not be withdrawn after the war, and the air force has enough funds to develop new fighters, and so on.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we let the Second Army and the Eighth Army, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will get all the wealth of the Japanese!" Xiong Wu immediately reassured. I used to think that the wealth obtained from Japan would have to be handed over to the national treasury like war reparations, and the reason why the soldiers on the front line worked so hard was completely for the 10 percent bonus. Now after learning that all the money he got from Japan was spent on the army, Xiong Wu suddenly felt very motivated, and without Wang Yuze's urging, the military bigwigs would ask the Japanese army to squeeze out all the wealth of the Japanese as much as possible.

"Haha! That's right! Wang Yuze laughed. He has no mercy for the Japanese. Perhaps, other Chinese people will still have some compassion for the Japanese, but Wang Yuze, who was born in New China and is under the red flag, will not have any more. China and Japan are long-cherished enemies, and there is absolutely no possibility of coexistence. In the end, only one party can save zài in this world. Fortunately, now China has the advantage and can wantonly bully Japan, if China loses the war and returns to its original historical trajectory, then it is the Chinese people who suffer. Wang Yuze didn't want to see this happen. And, now, it seems that this qiē will never happen. It was perfectly natural to rob the Japanese of their wealth and use it to arm the imperial army. When Japan invaded China in later generations, didn't it also transport China's gold, antiques and various minerals to China in whole ships?

After Xiong Wu returned from the palace to the General Staff, he immediately informed the Minister of War Cai Yun, the Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng, and the Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo. Immediately, it aroused the infinite enthusiasm of these people. Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, even shouted: "For the sake of the Navy's battleships and the soldiers of the Marine Corps, we must rob all of Japan!" At the same time, this also made the military's original objections completely eliminated. Whoever dares to make a moth on this issue is against the entire military!

Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, even personally sent to the headquarters of the Second Army and the command of the Eighth Army, which was at sea, asking them to do their best to recover Japan's wealth, which would have a bearing on the future interests of the imperial army, and if they failed to complete their tasks, they would become the sinners of the entire imperial army.

"Haha! All right! Someone, send me an order to all troops, asking all troops to rob the whole of Kyushu and the whole of Japan in the future, and not a single copper plate can be left to the Japanese! Major General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Group Army, ordered excitedly.

Zhang Shusen, chief of staff, did not have the slightest objection, 10 percent of the wealth plundered from Japan was used to reward the soldiers, and the remaining 10 percent of the old style was used as special military expenses, so naturally everyone would not have any opinions. I thought it might be a bit bad to do this, and I still had a little pity for the Japanese, but now it's all gone.

After the order was given, the entire Second Army, like locusts crossing the border, frantically searched for something before Qiē on the island of Kyushu. Whether it belonged to the Japanese government or civilians, all of them were scraped away. Of course, in this process, it was inevitable that it was blocked by many Japanese, and some Japanese even attacked Chinese soldiers. It's just that whenever such a situation occurs, all the Japanese who dare to resist will be killed cleanly. Some Japanese even hid in the mountains and started a guerrilla war with the squadron. But how long can they hold out without food and weapons?

Towards Japanese civilians, the squadron did not rob them of their food. These Japanese already don't have enough food, and if they grab food again, these Japanese people won't be able to survive. Although China wants to destroy Japan, it does not want to kill all the Japanese, but only to wipe out the will of the Japanese to resist, and then raise the remaining Japanese into obedient dogs. Therefore, the behavior of the army is quite restrained. Otherwise, no matter how many Japanese there are, it will not be enough for the ** team to kill.

In the end, after digging three feet into the ground, the Second Army got a fortune worth 300 million yuan on Kyushu Island, which was 100 million yuan more than previously expected. (To be continued.) )
