Chapter 549: A New Torrent

The sea is rough and Mt. Fuji is cloudy! In this * era, my blood boiled —— "Song of the Showa Restoration"

Looking at the end of the 226 incident reported in the newspaper, Tu Qianjun sighed deeply.

Regarding 226, many later scholars simply classified it as a seizure of power. But in fact it is not so simple, as the spiritual leader of the incident, Kita Kazuki. To simply see him as a fascist is obviously too simplistic and crude.

Kita Kazuki's "Outline of the Japanese Reform Act" was drafted in Shanghai and published after his return to Japan in 1916 (Taisho 5), but the first 34 lines were deleted.

The contents of these 34 lines include "the constitution is suspended," "the two houses are dissolved," "martial law is imposed nationwide," and "the emperor's personal government." To put it bluntly, the purpose of this program is to crusade against the politics of political parties and chaebols*, and to advocate the emperor's own government.

It is ironic that some leftist ideologies have been formed in the end, but have consequences for the right.

As a result of this campaign, 16 people, including Kiyosei Koda and Keizo Ando, were sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion, and Kita Ichiki and his disciple Nishida were both sentenced to death (shot) for the crime of rebellion.

The Imperial Sect, as the upper echelon of the incident, hopes to use this matter to regain power. The Rulers want to suppress the liberals of the cabinet and the arrogance of the navy!

The junior officers, on the other hand, are the only ones who want to make changes. But in the end, they are just victims. This mutiny, in a sense, can be regarded as a success. The army eventually intimidated the Cabinet, which could no longer speak out against the Army.

And with the complete decline of the Imperial Sect, the whole of Japan fell into the hands of the Unification faction. In the end, the war happened without incident.

Putting down the newspaper, Tu Qianjun fell into deep thought. It is now clear that the unification faction has gained the upper hand and that the Japanese cabinet has lost its effectiveness.

In other words, when Japan is integrated, the war will begin!

Now the question is, where will they attack from ?! Tu Qianjun stood up and walked to the wall where the map was hung, frowning and scanning back and forth.

The Yalu River, Dalian and Huludao have built a large number of fortifications and forts. Coupled with the cooperation of other countries with itself, there is no doubt that if Japan were to attack itself, it would not be worth the loss.

Shandong?! Tu Qianjun's gaze moved to the Jiaodong Peninsula. In Qingdao and other places, Japan had a large number of troops and spies. In other words, they basically grasped the situation on the Jiaodong Peninsula and even in Shandong.

It would be no surprise if it was attacked from there, and there was also a Japanese garrison in Tsumon! In other words, they can attack in two ways! Spread directly from the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Jinmen area, and then seize Beiping City, swallow Shandong and Hebei!

It's not that Tu Qianjun is arrogant. At least in this era, there are basically no * units that can completely defend against the Japanese army. Especially after the purge of the Japanese army, which was modernized, it was inevitable that the unification faction would take power.

They will arm armies in large areas to support the war! Just with those troops in Han Fuyu's hands, they will definitely not be able to resist! As for the Nanjing State Mansion...... Tu Qianjun could only say hehe.

"Chandinand!" Tu Qianjun shouted outside the door, and then saw Shang Dinan hurriedly running in and facing Tu Qianjun is a solemn standing!

"Inform the ministers and convene a meeting!"

"Yes!" Chandinand replied! Then they went down to convey the order, although Yang Yuting and they were a little strange how Tu Qianjun could hold a meeting at this time. But they still came to the conference room of the headquarters en masse.

And when Tu Qianjun told them all the situation and his own analysis, everyone's faces became ugly! On the wall of the conference room is a map of the country.

Yan Zhengqing walked to the map with his glasses and looked at the map silently, while the others followed Yan Zhengqing to study the map.

"If they send troops to Shandong, and then attack us with North Korea, Manchuria will be in danger......" Looking at the map, Yang Yuting couldn't help but sigh: "If only they could give us more time?!" When our tanks and planes are equipped, we will not be afraid to fight! ”

The rest of the people nodded, the aircraft secretly developed together with Germany has been successfully test-flown successfully! Tanks are now numbered to several regiments! If Manchuria is given another three or five years, it will be possible to build a strong force that is not weaker than Japan!

The Navy too. Navy cadets who are now training in the United States are interning on aircraft carriers in the United States. In order to master the piloting of aircraft carriers, aircraft take-off and landing and other technologies!

Oh time! Oh time! Time is all that matters!

"We all ignored one place...... Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses, clicked on a place, and said in a deep voice: "...... here"

I saw the place where Yan Zheng counted. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned! Not really?! Yan Zhengqing turned around and said in a deep voice: "We are worried about fighting the Japanese army head-on, and the Japanese army is not like this?!" ”

"If we fight too early, they may not be able to win! The best result is to annihilate us after a large area of loss. And the worst result is to get into a tug-of-war with us. Yan Zhengqing looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Now that we are cooperating with other countries, Japan has to consider diplomatic considerations. The laying of oil pipelines, if they go to war with us, the United States will definitely cut off their oil supplies for their own interests! Once they can't take us in a short time, their own planes, warships, etc., will become decorations without oil! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, Japan could choose to withdraw from the League of Nations or even choose to show the British face. But definitely not dare to ignore the Americans! You know, the Americans have the lifeblood of Japan, including oil!

Once the United States cut off supplies. There is no doubt that Japan will not be able to support it!

"Of course! They can take the plunge to attack the South Seas, but it's a dead end! Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses and continued: "If it is not a last resort, if one country and several countries go to war, it is looking for death!" It has angered the United States, and with the industrial capacity of the United States, Japan can be dragged to death! ”

Everyone nodded, I have to say that Yan Zhengqing's analysis is extremely correct!

"Attacking from this place, the benefits are obvious!" Yan Zhengqing continued to explain: "First of all, this place is not far from their colony. Secondly, due to the melee and not too strong an army. ”

"In terms of minerals, our own research on the "Geological and Mineral Report of the Beijing-Guangdong Railway Line" shows that there are rich mineral resources here, although there is no oil, but coal, gold, silver, iron...... and so on! Yan Zhengqing looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"By occupying this place, they have the capital to continue fighting! Otherwise, with Japan's pitiful reserves, it will not be able to fight a large-scale war at all......"

Everyone nodded silently, in fact, the big war with Russia was basically fought by the whole of Japan tightening their belts. If you drag it out a little longer. Japan will be completely dragged to death! This may also be the reason why they fight so desperately.

Originally, Japan also possessed most of the minerals of the three eastern provinces, which could support them in the war. But now that there are no three eastern provinces, it is obviously not enough to rely on the little minerals in Japan and the replenishment of Korea.

Occupying a region and obtaining resources to support the war has become a must for them!

Meanwhile. Tokyo, Japan.

"Your Majesty has given the order! Let Terauchi-kun take charge of the purging troops! The Prince of Xiangong Yuan looked at these high-ranking army officials in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This time the matter is too bad! Someone has to leave! The army is not a place for them to act arbitrarily! ”

Several Japanese army generals who were standing in front of the idle palace were silent when they heard this. They all knew that this incident made Hirohito extremely angry! A collective rebellion of close to fifteen hundred people made Hirohito restless!

This is not the kind of assassination of up to a few dozen people like before, but a premeditated collective action! If you don't make an example, are you telling others that they can do it if they want to?!

"That's it! Go for yall! Xiangongyuan turned around and said in a deep voice: "Call Ishihara in for me!" ”

"Hay!" Several people nodded. Then he slowly exited the office. After a while, Ishihara knocked on the door.

Xiangongyuan turned around, propped his hands on the table, looked at Ishihara Wan'er, and said in a deep voice: "This time the army is so disappointing to me!" Even I suffered a lot of reproaches in front of the emperor! ”

"Hay! Let His Royal Highness the Prince bother......" Ishihara lowered his head and said in a deep voice, while Xian Gongyuan waved his hand and said, "None of this is anything!" I also acquiesced in this matter, but I didn't expect them to make such a big fuss! ”

Ishihara was silent, and the idle palace walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "How are things getting ready?!" How sure are you?! ”

Ishihara nodded, walked to the wall and opened a curtain! but he saw behind the curtain. It turned out to be an incredibly detailed map of southeastern China!

It even clearly marks every county and city in Shanghai, Zhejiang, etc.! Even every street and alley in Shanghai!

Ishihara Wan'er picked up the baton, clicked a spot and said to the idle palace courtyard: "His Royal Highness! We have now figured out that after the analysis of the General Staff, the attack is our best course of action! ”

"The empire now lacks resources. We have to find the resources to support our efforts. It's a large coastal area and it's very close to our base! There is no army that is too strong, the ministries are in a period of melee! Without a doubt, this is a great opportunity for us to step in! ”

Ishihara Wan'er said, sliding down an entire area with his baton and whispering to the idle palace courtyard: "Here, it will be the first fulcrum of the empire's conquest of China!" As long as we take this place, stand our ground and swallow most of it! The conquest of China is just around the corner! ”

If any of them were here, they would be extremely stunned to find that the area drawn by Ishihara Wan'er was exactly the same as the area that Yan Zhengqing had ordered!

"We have to admit that the Tiger is a great threat to the Empire!" Ishihara Wan'er said in a deep voice to the idle palace: "If we fight him at the beginning of the war, the best result will be a miserable victory for us!" But this will cost us most of our elite troops! ”

"And the worst outcome. It's us and this tiger in a tug-of-war! And this is the worst possible outcome for the Empire! Ishihara put down his baton and said in a deep voice to the idle palace.

"The empire does not have much resources to support us in a long-term war, and the most important thing is that the European and American countries have too many interests in Manchuria, and they will not sit idly by! Taken together, the initial war with Manchuria was extremely unfavorable to the empire! ”

Xian Gongyuan nodded. In fact, this is also the last analysis report made by the entire military department. After various deductions, the conclusion is that the price to be paid for winning by military forces alone is enormous!

This does not meet the current requirements of Japan, and if the initial losses are too great, Hirohito is afraid that he will stop the war!

"But it's different here, it's far from Manchuria! Even if that tiger had any ideas, he couldn't do it! Ishihara smiled and whispered to the idle palace, "We can calmly mine these resources and then use them to arm our army!" Until the whole of China is swallowed, then go to war with the tigers! ”

After listening to Ishihara's words, he slowly sat back in his chair. With his eyes closed, his fingers kept pointing on the table, while Ishihara remained silent.

He knew that it would be extremely difficult to make such a decision! After all, if the army is to be purged now, will it have any impact if there is another war?! Even whether the emperor is willing to go to war or not is an extremely difficult question.

"I heard that Jiang Zhongzheng's Nanjing government is going to hunt down the red bandits!" Ishihara suddenly whispered to the idle palace: "I think most of his military strength can't be mobilized. Maybe we can do something at this time......"

Hearing this, the eagle eyes of the idle palace opened violently and stared at Ishihara Wan'er! After a while, he smiled at Ishihara and said, "I will talk to Your Majesty and let those people make meritorious contributions!" If they can't do anything, then die for the Empire! ”

"Hay! Your Highness is merciful! Ishihara nodded, one upright! He whispered to the idle palace courtyard: "I think, this is also a relief for them!" Otherwise, being purged with the infamy of treason on their backs may not be something they are willing to bear......"

At this time, Jiang Zhongzheng led a million-strong army to rumble towards eastern Fujian! Every time he entered an area, he asked his troops to start building forts and tunnels! All parts went hand in hand, slowly forming a situation of encirclement of the Soviet area!

The main force of 50,000 Nanjing* is ready to support at any time as a mobile force. And the hundreds of thousands of troops supported by the rest of the warlords are going to the front! The whole field has been built!

Although the "father of the Wehrmacht" Hans. Feng. Seckert did not continue to serve as Jiang Zhongzheng's military adviser, but the strategy he left behind was thoroughly implemented by Jiang Zhongzheng! (To be continued)
