Guo Yu is going to give these officers a popular science education, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, in fact, is a process of understanding the opponent, studying the opponent and defeating the opponent, so that you know in your heart, if the enemy does not have any mystery in front of you, then you will not be afraid of him, and you can also target the enemy's weak links, formulate a targeted plan, so as to strike at the enemy.
Before the meeting, Guo Yu prepared a large amount of materials, including information on the Japanese army, navy, economy, nationality, and other aspects, so that his subordinates could have a comprehensive understanding of Japan.
Zhou Wu put a thick text on his desk and began to say in detail, "Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has begun to vigorously develop its economy and military, and has practiced militarism and advocated foreign expansion. β
"From the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, to Manchuria and Northeast China, to the occupation of Qingdao, Jinan, and other places in Shandong, and to the establishment of concessions in various parts of the Republic of China, the Japanese government was encroaching on the Republic of China step by step, and Japan already had the idea of swallowing elephants, and their real purpose was to occupy the entire Republic of China."
Speaking of this, Wu Erzhu said: "Could it be that the Western powers such as Britain, France, and the United States would allow the ambitions of the Japanese, and I think these Western powers also have bad intentions towards the Republic of China." β
"Europe broke out, and now Britain and France have no time to take care of anything else, and the Japanese saw an opportunity, so they dared to directly capture Qingdao." Guo Yu said.
Zhou Wu continued, "Now let's talk about Japan's existing military strength, the Japanese Army has 25 divisions. The total number of people is about 450,000, and the divisions are divided into four categories: A, B, C and D, with the A division being the strongest, with about 24,000 people, and the B division about 15,000 people, and the other divisions and regiments are even less. Divisions have artillery units. It is equipped with artillery and heavy machine guns, but the grassroots army lacks heavy firepower, and some are only equipped with 75 artillery, and the main combat power is still rifles. β
It is worth mentioning that Japan's navy, Japan is an island country, and has always attached great importance to the development of its navy, so they have invested a lot of money in developing their own large navy, and put forward the concept of "66th Fleet", "68th Fleet" and even "88th Fleet". At present, Japan's main naval forces are the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet has not been formed for a long time, so the number of ships is limited, and there are other fleets, such as the fleet sent to the South Seas, and the South Fleet sent to the Mediterranean Sea to participate in Europe. β
Speaking of this, Guo Yu stopped, "The main combat power of the Japanese Combined Fleet is the First Fleet and the Second Fleet. So, our naval battle the other day. Having knocked out a third of Japan's naval strength, what else does he, the Japanese, have to shout about. β
Guo Yu's words caused everyone present to show a smile, especially Lin Haichao, who was the commander of the navy, and felt even more happy in his heart.
Guo Yu continued: "Japan's military strength has been put on the table, how about it, do you think it is possible for our Huafu army to defeat them. Guo Yu asked in a relaxed tone.
"The head. Although they have not fought with the Japanese Army, judging from Japan's military development, they still attach importance to the navy, and the equipment of the army is not advanced. Absolutely beat them, and the remaining question is training and actual combat. Chief of Staff Cheng Quande said.
"We are not afraid of them in actual combat, our second division is all the best soldiers, no one is afraid of death, for the leader, for the Huafu army, the sacrifice is also glorious." Wang Yue, commander of the Second Division, stood up and said.
"Our Third Division is absolutely confident and determined to complete the tasks assigned by the head of the meeting, and as long as the Japanese Army dares to come, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." Zheng Junfeng stood up and said.
"Our armored division has been waiting for us, and the first will be the first to point out, that is, our direction, and the armored division will be the sharpest sword in your hand." Gao Yi shouted in a loud voice.
Don't look at Gao Yi and look vulgar, in fact, his heart is very thief, and he doesn't forget to pat a fart while showing loyalty.
"The Fourth Division is ready to attack at any time." Fu Peng stood up and said. Fu Peng was originally the commander of the 18th Regiment, but in the recent expansion of the army, he was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Division because of his excellent performance.
Yao Rongguang shouted, "Our artillery division will never be left behind, and if the Japanese dare to come, they will definitely blow them up into the sky." β
"Although the Fifth Division has just been formed, we will step up our training and strive to form combat strength as soon as possible."
"My Sixth Division ......"
Looking at this group of subordinates who stood up and asked for battle, Guo Yu was very happy, a soldier must look like a soldier, and an army with strong confidence is the premise of defeating the enemy.
Guo Yu stood up and pressed his hand, and asked everyone to sit down, "It's a good thing to have confidence, our Huafu Army also has the information to defeat the enemy, as long as there are you, it will definitely be no problem to defeat the Japanese." β
"The purpose of today's meeting is to let you know that we are not those garbage armies of the Republic of China compared to the enemy, and now let Zhou Wu continue to explain."
Guo Yu just wants these officers to familiarize themselves with Japan's military strength, so as to build confidence, in fact, Japan is a paper tiger, not as strong as they seem.
Zhou Wu continued, "Now let's talk about Japan's economy, the head of the meeting said that fighting a war is fighting money, and if you don't have money, you can't afford to support the army, and you can't afford to fight, otherwise the pressure of logistics will drag down a country, and our Republic of China is not without people, nor is there no soldiers who can fight, it is because of poverty that we can't afford to fight to get to this point." β
"Japan is now working hard to develop its economy, and now it invests 10 percent of its total economic resources every year in the military, and although it is not considered to be reckless, the economic pressure is also very great, and if the domestic economy encounters an accident, it will drag down the entire country."
"Not long ago, there was a heavy economic incident in Japan, the Imperial Bank of Japan was looted by others, and Japan's finances suffered heavy losses, what is the concept of this matter, that is, Japan's treasury has been half emptied, and now the Japanese government has no money. And they have to go into debt to get by. β
"Therefore, Japan's declaration of war on the Republic of China this time is more at the strategic level, and now they want to directly use troops against China, and they really can't come up with this money."
When Zhou Wu said this, Guo Yu had a smile on his face and said to everyone, "I can reveal a secret to you here." However, it is required to be kept absolutely confidential, and it must not be disclosed to the outside except for those who are doing it. β
"As you know, I went out a few days ago, and I went to Japan, and I took people to complete the economic destruction of Japan, so I have a better understanding of the current economic embarrassment of the Japanese."
"Sir, how much money did you get?" Wu Erzhu asked, this guy had stars in both eyes.
"Not much. 1,000 tons of gold, hundreds of millions of yen. Guo Yu said lightly.
Everyone present took a breath of cool air, and then all showed expressions of surprise.
"The head of the meeting, you are really extraordinary, and you will directly end the entire Japanese treasury, what are they playing, it is estimated that the Japanese government will tighten its belt and live now." Wang Yue said excitedly.
"I think you have to go hungry even if you tighten your belt, and the Japanese are already short, so I guess it's longer and not taller now." Yao Rongguang said with a smile.
At this time, Chief of Staff Cheng Quande said. "Chief, you've emptied their banknotes. So what do they spend, and will they print banknotes? β
Guo Yu nodded and said, "I will definitely print more banknotes, they can only use the method of printing banknotes now to temporarily relieve the economic pressure, but this is also a way to quench their thirst." Now that the gold content of the yen has decreased, there are already problems affecting Japan's economy and trade, and now Britain, France, the United States and other countries no longer trust Japan's currency, and in future trade. There will be more and more such problems, and it is estimated that Japan's economy will not recover in more than a decade, and it will not return to its original level. β
"Your trick is really powerful, it has stabbed the Japanese in the waist, the loss of money is secondary, mainly because of the decline in credibility, which can not be recovered in a short period of time." Cheng Quande said.
"Now I will talk about Japan's military strength in and around the Republic of China." Zhou Wu watched everyone finish chatting and continued.
"The year before last, Japan occupied Qingdao, dispatched 45,000 people, fought a battle with the German garrison, and finally sent troops to occupy Jinan, although Jinan was finally returned, but Qingdao was always in the hands of the Japanese."
"Now there are 15,000 Japanese troops in Qingdao, 20,000 Japanese troops in Manchuria, and 45,000 Japanese troops in Korea, and the Japanese mainland is ready to continue to increase troops in these places to increase the military pressure on the government of the Republic of China."
"In terms of the navy, Japan is gradually assembling naval ships, the First Fleet, as the defense force of the Japanese mainland, has been assembled in the Sea of Japan all year round, while the Third Fleet is active in the South Seas, and four other warships have formed the South Fleet to support the British fleet, so it will not be able to return for a while and a half, and it will take a short time for all to assemble. Their ships are all assembled, and their combat power should be about twice that of the Second Fleet. β
Zhou Wu said this, Guo Yu interrupted Zhou Wu, and said to Lin Haichao: "What do you think about the affairs of the navy. β
"The navy is already seizing the time to train the newly brought ships, because many commanders have been transferred from the old ships, so they can be mastered much faster than before, and our navy is confident that the training will be completed within three months to form combat strength, and with these advanced ships of our Huafu navy, it will be absolutely no problem to deal with the Japanese fleet, and I can give you a military order here, if the Japanese fleet dares to come, the Huafu fleet will definitely annihilate them." Lin Haichao said.
Zhou Wu continued, "Now let's talk about the impact of the world pattern on the Far East. The first is that the war in Europe is underway, and Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and other countries are involved, which makes the European powers have no time to take care of anything else, so they give the Japanese a chance, a chance to seize the interests of the Republic of China.
