Chapter 1112: War Dividends
The more Wu Ming spoke, the happier he became, and continued: "If we can mobilize one or two million Goryeo civilians to go to our northeast to cultivate wasteland, then in less than three years, we will be able to solve the problem of food shortage for hundreds of millions of people in the entire northeast and several provinces in northern China!" This is the dividend of war, it's exciting to think about! ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Haidong also nodded in agreement: "Wu Ming's suggestion is good, we have expelled the Japanese devils, and we can indeed get the war dividends that we should get, but we are not colonial dictators, we will pay all Goryeo civilians who are willing to go to China to be workers and peasants, and will ensure their personal safety!" This way, you get the best of both worlds, and you get what you need! ”
Qiao Youhua smiled slightly: "Haidong, your idea is good, but it's also a little too unfounded, now most of the stick civilians are still hungry, and they can't even eat!" As long as they are fed, they will definitely rush to the Northeast to be reclamation and miners! Where to pay what! ”
"That's right!" Jiang Haidong smiled.
"Then why don't you get more Goryeo sticks and go back and immigrate to North China and Shandong! Anyway, you don't have to pay for it, just give us food, help us pave bridges and roads, dig coal and mine, farm and collect grain, what a good thing! Liu Yidao said.
Qiao Youhua shook his head and said: "There are not so many immigrants, especially in the Guannai, our own population advantage is very large, in addition to the Northeast is vast and the population is relatively small, the population in North China, Shandong, and Shanxi is not a lot, and now there is no war, or it won't be long before the population will grow explosively."
At that time, our own demographic dividend will not be exhausted, where will we still use the sticks of immigrants who work hard to move people to the past! ”
"That's right, except for the needs of the Northeast region, there is really no need to bring in foreign workers on a large scale in Kannai!" Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao are both time-travelers and are familiar with history, so they naturally understand that what Qiao Youhua said is not empty words.
"Besides, it won't be long before the Germans will send a large number of Jews to us, and we only need to accept those Jews with a high level of knowledge and rich work experience, and make good use of them, so as to promote the rapid development of our base economy, industry, and military industry!" Qiao Youhua said.
The Jews of this era were the most unlucky, they met Hitler, a national dictator and war fanatic. However, they are also one of the most intelligent peoples.
Many of the world's most famous scientists are Jewish, such as the most famous Albert Einstein, and so on.
If Albert Einstein and other scientists had been able to come to China, it would have been impossible for the Americans to develop the atomic bomb during World War II, and it is still unknown who will be the world's policeman in the future.
Otherwise, as long as the Yankees have the atomic bomb in advance, then China will be extremely dangerous! The process of re-emergence may be interrupted.
After careful consideration, Qiao Youhua decided to temporarily leave all the 130,000 soldiers of Wu Ming's third column on the Goryeo Peninsula, and be responsible for the reorganization of the 150,000 stick puppet army, reorganize it into the Goryeo border guard, and be responsible for their training.
Gradually reduce the troops stationed in the DPRK!
In addition to the above-mentioned troops, the first column and all units directly under the corps of the First Column, which suffered relatively large losses in the current invasion of Korea, will all be withdrawn to the country one after another to rest and recuperate in preparation for the next stage of operations.
In this operation into Korea, the total casualties of the Dragon's Tooth Corps were more than 20,000 people, less than 30,000, and the loss of one tank and seven or eight armored vehicles.
Of the more than 20,000 casualties, a quarter were caused by the Japanese night attack on the banks of the Yalu River.
After discussing the issue of the garrison, Qiao Youhua took the lead in taking the plane and returning to China, and the specific withdrawal was decided by Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao and others.
It is worth mentioning that the Falcon Flying Regiment will also leave 50 fighters plus some reconnaissance planes behind, and will mainly cooperate with the third column to resist the possible attack of the Japanese or Soviet troops on the Goryeo Peninsula.
…………
On the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the Japanese invading forces have already occupied French Indochina and are frantically grabbing all kinds of local resources to seize their war dividends in order to make up for their huge losses in the Northeast Asian theater.
The acquiescence and connivance of the Americans made the Japanese devils more and more emboldened, and as a result, an unexpected incident broke out that neither Japan, the United States, and Britain expected, that is, a group of elite Japanese soldiers brazenly ignored the restraint policy formulated by the base camp and suddenly attacked Burma, one of the British colonies.
The Japanese army that provoked a greater war was called the 18th Division of the Army, which was notorious in the original history, it was originally one of the divisions disarmed by Japan, but after the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese base camp was reorganized in order to cope with the lack of troops.
The reorganized 18th Division participated in the battle for the first time, landing at Hangzhou Bay in the Second Battle of Songhu, cutting off the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and the main transportation routes in one fell swoop, seriously threatening the rear route of hundreds of thousands of elite national armies on the Songhu battlefield, resulting in the complete defeat of the national army on the Songhu battlefield.
Then the 18th Division followed the pursuit all the way to Wuhu, and then turned around and captured Hangzhou, and in 38 years, it was incorporated into the 21st Army used by the Japanese army to attack South China, and the 5th Division landed from the Leizhou Peninsula, swept through the Liangguang area, and cut off all the outlets to the sea along the southeast coast of China at that time.
Later, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War broke out, and the 18th Division and the 5th Division and other Japanese elites swept through the Malay Archipelago and the Indonesian Islands, as well as the Philippines and Singapore, and then participated in the battle to attack Burma.
Now, although the 18th Division did not participate in the Pacific War, it has also undergone more than two years of actual combat baptism on the Chinese battlefield, and it is one of the few divisions and regiments that the Japanese army has not been severely damaged by the Dragon's Tooth Column.
Including its current division commander, Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the whole division was in a state of extreme arrogance and excitement, believing that they were invincible, and the British army's group of Western rookies, who had not fought for a long time and were accustomed to peace, were not vulnerable at all.
Therefore, with the acquiescence of Hyakutake Harukichi, his subordinate 56th Infantry Wing brazenly launched a surprise attack on the British colonial forces in Burma.
The development of the battle was indeed as expected by Hyakutake Haruyoshi and his generals, the British army, which had not fought for a long time, was not the opponent of the Japanese army at all, and the 56th Infantry Wing easily defeated more than 3,000 British troops, and the 18th Division, which tasted the sweetness, then began to march towards Burma in a big way, and even clamored to fight to India and seize this crown pearl of the Orient!
