610 Defend the Emperor!? The invading Japanese faction Wang Jingwei
"Invasion of the Japanese mainland, you are saying that the war can only be ended if the flames of war are burned to the Japanese mainland."
Luo Yaoguo wanted to dig out his ears to confirm if he heard correctly, but in the end he held back, looking at Wang Jingwei with a murderous face, Luo Yaoguo asked: "Mr. Zhaoming, judging from the current battlefield situation, we have won the war, Japan is an island country, and the navy is the key to defending the country, and now their navy has been broken by me, and the Oriental sea power has been lost, and there is no hope of victory if the war continues, so we should agree to a truce, right?" Moreover, Britain and the United States have already intervened, and I think the outcome will be resolved soon. ”
"There will be no result, only by invading Japan can we end this war, I know better than you what virtue the Japanese are, they just don't see the coffin and don't cry, if you don't hit their house, they will absolutely refuse to withdraw their troops from Manchuria to end this war...... The only way to deal with the Japanese is to subdue them and beat them to fear, if they can capture Tokyo and capture the emperor alive......" Wang Jingwei waved his hand, casually saying a lot of anti-Japanese and hateful remarks, and heard Luo Yaoguo's black line on his forehead 'chaotic', isn't this Wang Jingwei the number one big man 'traitor'? Although imperialism has risen in this time and space, it is impossible for him to realize the not-so-lofty ideal of being a traitor, but he must always be a pro-Japanese faction, right? Why did he suddenly become an "invading faction"?
Wang Jingwei, who had a fierce look in his eyes, didn't notice Luo Yaoguo's surprised eyes, and continued to peddle his reactionary remarks about the destruction of Japan (uh, it's not good for anyone to destroy everyone...... )。 According to Wang Jingwei's statement, although the Japanese have been defeated at present, they are far from being subdued and defeated, and they still have the resources and morale to maintain the war, so Japan will absolutely not accept any humiliating peace. Moreover, they are also unwilling to withdraw their troops from the northeast to end this hopeless war, even if their top brass knows that there is no way out if they continue to fight, and it will only drag Japan down. Because no one dares to make such a determination to withdraw troops from Manchuria, and even if the prime minister, who is not afraid of death, makes such a decision, it will not be carried out until the time comes, and he should be overturned
And there are only two ways to end the war. The first is to fight a protracted war, slowly deplete with the Japanese, and exhaust Japan's national strength in a few years. The second is to invade the Japanese mainland, and of course the Japanese mainland that Wang Jingwei refers to includes Korea and Okinawa Island. Only by burning the flames of war on Japanese soil, preferably on the core territory of the Japanese archipelago, will they be afraid, will they withdraw the main forces of Manchuria, and will it be possible to conclude a peace treaty ceding Taiwan.
"But Japan has 3 million troops, which is several times more than our 800,000." Speaking of Japan's huge army strength, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help frowning, unlike Japan, which had already incorporated the country into the wartime system, the national "government" had not carried out a general mobilization for a long time.
After all, general mobilization is also a double-edged sword, which can not only maximize the country's war potential in the short term, but also have a negative impact on the economy and finances in the future. Especially in the thirties of the twentieth century, when the concept of "balanced budget" was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Hu Hanmin and Luo Yiqun were already extremely uneasy about the rising fiscal deficit of the national "government".
"If you want to reach a peace treaty with Japan in the short term and force them to cede Taiwan, it is necessary to continue to exert military pressure." Wang Jingwei stood up, walked to the bookshelf in the office, and found a map and spread it out in front of Luo Yaoguo:
"Japan is made up of a chain of islands and a peninsula, and their coastline is particularly long, and now they have lost their control of the East Ocean, so the whole coastline is a place where we can invade. For example, we can land on this island, what is this island called? This one is quite close to Shanghai. ”
Looking at the position of Wang Jingwei's finger, Luo Yaoguo took a deep breath, it was Jeju Island, which is located between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean Peninsula, less than 500 kilometers from Shanghai. If Jeju Island were to be occupied by China, the main Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea would lose their logistics and retreat. The planes and submarines of the Kuomintang army easily used this island to cut off the transport line between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.
And according to intelligence, the original defense of that island was not tight, there were no strong coastal defense fortresses, the number of shore defense artillery was not large, and the garrison was only a few garrison brigades. After all, Japan was the world's third-largest naval power not long ago, so there was no need to worry about the defense of the coastline. However, after losing its sea supremacy, Japan should strengthen the defense of these important islands, right?
In fact, the proposal to invade Jeju Island had already been proposed to Luo Yaoguo by Zhao Zheng, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, who had just returned to Zhanjiang Military Port. However, Zhao Zheng's idea was not to occupy Jeju Island, but to use the feint attack on Jeju Island to bring out the remaining Japanese Combined Fleet, fight another naval and air battle, and turn Japan into a country without a navy with its total annihilation of the Japanese Combined Fleet
However, Luo Yaoguo was a little hesitant about this, not worried that the navy would not be able to defeat Japan, but worried about British intervention, Britain and Japan have recently become very close, Britain seems to have supported Japan to become a pawn to contain China and the United States, if China invades Japanese territory again, will it cause Britain to be further involved? Thinking of this, he shook his head slowly and asked, "Mr. Zhaoming, I'm worried that Britain may interfere, they are still the world hegemon at the moment. ”
"No, it won't." Of course, Wang Jingwei saw Luo Yaoguo's thoughts, he smiled slightly, and waved his hand: "Britain is a constitutional country, and now that the country is in an economic crisis, the main energy of their 'government' is still to deal with domestic economic issues, and they will not invest too much in East Asian affairs, let alone send their youth to the front line to fight us for a war that has nothing to do with them." Don't look at the fact that Britain and Japan are close during this time, but they are still far from the real signing of the covenant. In my opinion, Britain will not invest until the end of the Sino-Japanese War if Britain wants to support Japan, and they are afraid that Japan will use the resources invested by Britain in this doomed war. Britain is not twenty years ago, they have long since been depleted of their wealth by the world war, and now every penny is precious......"
"Wait." Luo Yaoguo frowned: "You mean that Britain will only really support Japan when the Sino-Japanese war ends, so it is also beneficial for Japan to end this war early, so how can they ......?"
"Who would dare to be the master of a treaty that humiliates the country? Those Japanese politicians, even if they knew it in their hearts, did not dare to do anything. ”
Luo Yaoguo's eyebrows twisted even more, wouldn't this war between China and Japan really have to be fought endlessly? The five-year construction plan and the subsequent anti-Soviet war preparation plan will be affected...... If we fail to seize the rare opportunity of World War II to overthrow the Soviet Union, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities in the future. If you don't do it, you will repeat the mistakes of history
Wang Jingwei smiled deeply: "So now we can only put on a posture of invading Japan to put pressure on them. At the same time, it is also an excuse for those Japanese politicians who are willing to end the war as soon as possible to stop the war and withdraw their troops. After all, for Japan, the Japanese archipelago and Korea are still more important than Manchuria. ”
Listening to Wang Jingwei's meaning, it seems that he does not want the Kuomintang army to really invade Japan, but just wants to give Japanese politicians an excuse to withdraw their troops from Manchuria and end the war, and after the armistice with China, Japan will also get the support of Britain, and it is very likely that it will make a comeback in the near future.
Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and just wanted to calculate with Wang Jingwei how far the invasion would go, and probably force Japan to withdraw its troops from Manchuria, Natalie hurriedly walked in, leaned into Luo Yaoguo's ear, and said in a low voice: "Fuwen, the Guangdong Security Command reported that they caught Yoshiko Kawashima at noon today."
……
Wuhan East Lake, Luo Yaoguo's mansion.
In the corner, a huge Siemens radio was playing the news, the content of the big man "traitor" Yoshiko Kawashima surrendered to the national "government" and wanted to make meritorious contributions...... in order to obtain a message of leniency.
The four beautiful Mrs. Luo were gathering together and whispering, and from time to time there was a lot of laughter, which made Luo Yaoguo, who was comforting Yoshiko Kawashima in the living room, feel a little helpless.
Look at Yoshiko Kawashima again, this dead girl still has tears on her face, and her pair of apricot eyes are foggy with water vapor. The eye circles are red, making Qingli's little face look pitiful. From time to time, he sobbed and looked at Luo Yaoguo sitting beside him. looked up at him pitifully: "Master Fuwen, they won't really want to arrest me and go to jail, right?" ”
Do time? Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly, this dead girl was really unlucky to go to her grandmother's house. She was originally sent by the Japanese anti-war activist Nagata Tetsuyama to see Luo Yaoguo, but at the moment, there is no direct flight route from Japan to Wuhan, isn't the two countries at war? So I chose the route of Tokyo-Manila-Hong Kong-Guangzhou-Wuhan. And Luo Yaoguo, of course, also knew that Yoshiko Kawashima was coming, and Bai Siwen had already reported the news to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Bureau also sent someone to Guangzhou to pick up people. However, this girl is not a traitor now, and she is also a big man who is worth 100,000 legal dollars, and everyone can catch a big traitor, as a result, Kawashima Yoshiko was targeted by the arrogant Hong Kong triad organization as soon as she got off the plane, knocked a stuffy stick in the hotel, and then sent to the Guangdong Security Command in Guangzhou to exchange money. Naturally, the Guangdong Security Command did not know that Yoshiko Kawashima was a spy of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so they arrested her as a traitor and sent a telegram asking for merit......
"Whether you will go to jail or not depends on your performance." Luo Yaoguo held a piece of letter paper in his hand and looked at it with a smile. This is the "handwritten letter" from the Japanese "anti-war activist" Nagata Tetsuyama, but it was not sent by Yoshiko Kawashima, but from the Guangdong Security Command by the Military Intelligence Bureau.
In this letter, Nagata Tieshan made a very interesting suggestion to Luo Yaoguo, he hoped to join forces with Luo Yaoguo and work together to end this Sino-Japanese war. The way to end this war was to make Japan admit defeat as soon as possible, and the way to make Japan admit defeat as soon as possible was for the Kuomintang army to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland and Korea, even if it was a feint, because then Nagata Tetsuyama would have the means to transfer the main Japanese forces from Manchuria back to the mainland and Korea. At that time, the war in Manchuria would naturally end with a victory on the part of the Kuomintang because of the weakness of the Japanese army. As soon as the war in Manchuria ended, China and Japan would have a de facto cease-fire, and the two sides would sign another armistice agreement, and the war would be considered "stopped." It was not a peace treaty to end the war, but an "armistice agreement" that was suspended. Because the peace treaty will inevitably involve the question of Taiwan's ownership, even if the mainland is attacked, Japan is unlikely to make concessions in this regard, unless Tokyo is actually captured and the emperor is captured alive. The armistice agreement does not need to involve Taiwan's sovereignty, and although Japan has lost its actual control over Taiwan, it can still draw it on its own map, and most countries in the world will continue to recognize Taiwan as a part of Japan...... It's a bit self-deceptive.
"Yoshiko, have you read this letter?". Luo Yaoguo waved the letter in his hand at Yoshiko Kawashima.
Yoshiko Kawashima lightly nodded her little head: "I've read it, this is not Nagata Tieshan's handwritten letter, it was written by someone." However, the meaning of the letter should represent his thoughts, Japan really can't fight this war, but the country is unwilling to admit defeat, so Nagata Tetsuyama has no choice but to make this decision. ”
"Then do you know who else in our country has received such a letter?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly thought of the "Japanese invader" Wang Jingwei, wasn't the idea he gave himself yesterday afternoon to cooperate with Yongtian Tieshan?
Yoshiko Kawashima frowned, as if she was thinking hard: "I don't know who it is, but I can guess a few, such as Wang Jingwei, the foreign minister of the national 'government', will definitely be able to receive it, and he has always been in contact with the Japanese." The Chinese and G-side should also be able to receive that the Japanese seem to be handing over Jilin Province to them in order to disturb the situation in Manchuria. I can't remember the others. After all, this matter is not small, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is easy to leak it if there are more people who know it. Speaking of this, she glanced at Luo Yaoguo again: "Many people have read the letter I brought." ”
Luo Yaoguo smiled, turned his head and said to Natalie: "Order Wu Ziliang, the person who has come into contact with this letter will be controlled immediately, in addition, prepare a car for me, I will go to the Hu Mansion." ”
……
"Fuwen, what do you think about this? Is this Nagata Iron Mountain credible? ”
Hu Hanmin's private living room had already gathered four Kuomintang bigwigs in Wuhan, and the letter brought by Luo Yaoguo was also circulated in the hands of the other three bigwigs.
Luo Yaoguo and Luo Yiqun sat side by side in a large sofa, holding a cup of tea in their hands, frowning and thinking about Hu Hanmin's question while sipping.
"If the war in Manchuria drags on, it doesn't seem to be good for Japan, and they are still waiting for the British to support them. So this Nagata Tetsuyama's proposal should be sincere. But whether we want to cooperate with them in this matter or not, we have to sum it up. ”
"Yichen, what do you see?" Hu Hanmin looked at Luo Yiqun again: "This war has been fought for more than half a year, can it still be financially supported?" ”。
Luo Yiqun smiled bitterly and sighed: "Of course, I, the premier, hope that the war can be stopped as soon as possible, but the current financial situation is too tight, and the difficulties are not a little bit The fiscal revenue of the Republic of China in 19 years is less than 1.8 billion legal currency, but the expenditure is as much as 2.5 billion, and the deficit is a full 700 million, and this year it is even more expensive, even if this war can be stopped immediately, the fiscal deficit will definitely exceed 1 billion yuan." To put it bluntly, this war is burning money."
Hearing his uncle's complaints, Luo Yaoguo secretly laughed, can the finances of the national "government" be considered difficult at the moment? So far, the southeast has not lost an inch, and not even a single shell has fallen, so the "government's" fiscal revenue has basically not been affected. At the same time, the construction and reform of the past seven or eight years have now yielded more or less gains, most of the weapons and ammunition are self-produced, and most of the resources and raw materials are also supplied by domestic mines, and a large part of the entire war expenditure will flow back into the hands of the "government" in the form of taxes, and the rest will also be turned into investment, workers' wages and capitalists' profits, which will also have a lot of stimulating effect on the current "lost" economy with low demand. Of course, this war cannot be fought forever, after all, printing too much money will also cause inflation. Moreover, the "government" has spent most of its financial resources on the military, and has neglected people's livelihood and the urgent investment in local government building and social improvements, such as land reform in Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi provinces, which have now come to a halt.
"Well, then speaking of which, it's time to end the war." Hu Hanmin was obviously also worried about the impact of the war on the economy of the government's finances: "Fuwen, when will your General Staff arrange an attack on the Japanese mainland?" ”
"I'm afraid it's going to be a month." Luo Yaoguo sighed and said: "At present, the war in Taiwan has not finally ended, and the Japanese army on the island of Taiwan is still insisting. ”
"Moreover, our navy also suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, especially the battle cruiser Selim Sultan was severely damaged by a torpedo fired by a Japanese heavy cruiser, and is still urgently repairing it at the Zhanjiang Naval Factory. We won't be able to return to the battlefield until early April at the earliest, when we can use the huge cannons of this battle cruiser to blast through the defenses of Keelung and Magong Fortress. Then we will use it to form a formation with aircraft carriers to threaten the Japanese mainland, and before that, all we can do is bluff. ”
