Although Japan has repeatedly issued national mobilization orders since the Lugou Bridge Incident, it has indeed achieved considerable results, and its total number of troops has rapidly grown from 250,000 at the beginning of the war to more than 2 million at present, but until now the Japanese army's strength is still overstretched.

After the capture of the important areas in the south had been completed according to the original plan, the Japanese Army and even the armed forces of the whole country should mobilize the strength of the whole country to wage a protracted war in accordance with the fundamental policy decided at the beginning of the war. Therefore, the Army believes that the most important thing at this time is to strictly implement the fundamental policy formulated earlier, accumulate national strength, and strengthen the mobility of combat capability, rather than blindly expanding the scale of operations for the sake of expanding the results of the war.

In addition, the Admiralty is aware of why the War Office has just mentioned the issue of the transport capacity of ships. According to the plan drawn up before the war, if the southern operation can be successfully completed, the ships requisitioned by the army will be gradually lifted, and it is expected that within six months it will be reduced to about half of the 2.1 million tons requisitioned at the beginning of the war, that is, 1 million tons.

Now, if the original plan were to be changed and more troops than all the forces that had been deployed to the south since the beginning of the war, it would be clear that it would be beyond the limits of Japan's national strength. The most appropriate warning in a great war is the setback of an offensive close to the enemy's base area when the offensive limit of the armed warfare exceeds the strength of the enemy. The capture of Australia can be said to be a risky plan in the history of warfare.

But the Navy insisted that the war plan against Australia and India should be finalized in the shortest possible time, and the Admiralty thought that the opportunity had been missed. It will be difficult for the Japanese Empire to have a favorable opportunity to dominate Asia. At this point, the Japanese Navy is clearly crazier than the Japanese Army.

From the position of Konoe Bunma, what the War Department and the Admiralty said makes sense, and it is really difficult to choose. But it is not a way to let them continue to quarrel like this, because indefinite delay will only benefit the United States and Britain and other countries.

This battle, which lasted from morning to evening, could not convince anyone, and even at one point the War Department and the Navy Department slandered each other and threatened to use force. The war of words lasted until 9 p.m., and finally the Prime Minister intervened to reach a compromise: the plans to attack Australia and India were cancelled, but the Army agreed to some less risky plans. For example, an amphibious assault on Port Moresby, 400 miles north of Australia.

Port Moresby is located on the east coast of New Guinea, the second largest island in the world. At the same time, it is also the political, economic and shipping center of Chen Feng's territory, and the geographical location is very important. In addition, the Navy proposed to abandon the plan to join Hitler in the Indian Ocean and agree to attack the three island groups off the northeast coast of Australia, Samoa, Fiji and New Caledonia, which would cut off the supply lines between Australia and the United States at minimal cost.

Subsequently. Fumima Konoe led the Chief of the Naval Command Department and the Chief of Staff of the Army to the palace to present a joint report to the Emperor explaining the new war policy: "It will be very difficult to defeat Britain and the United States in a short period of time. It is also impossible to end the war by forcing the enemy to surrender. The current military situation must be used to create a political and strategic structure that can withstand a long war. In this way, the political and military superiority gained as a result of the great results achieved since the beginning of the war will be further expanded. Japan must take all possible steps, within the limits of its national strength, to force Britain and the United States to remain on the defensive. All the major concrete measures to be taken in this regard are to be thoroughly studied, and every result will be made to His Majesty. ”

Although the Nanyang Collar is not as large as Australia, the population is only two or three million. And all of them have been relocated in the last two years, but the Japanese side does not dare to underestimate this private territory, because in this year, Tegaoke has lost nearly a thousand elite agents on that island.

According to the information sent back by the agents, the Chen family has taken control of the island, and everyone, including the indigenous people, supports the Chen family, because compared to the rule of the Western colonizers, the Chen family is more humane, and the indigenous people are not only respected, but also enjoy the same status as Jews, Western colonizers, and Chinese immigrants, they can participate in politics and the military, their children can also go to certain schools, and they can also enjoy medical and other services, Therefore, it is impossible to sow discord between the Chen family and the indigenous people.

In addition, the military strength of the Nanyang Territory also far exceeded the expectations of the Japanese military leadership. Attacking Australia would require 12 divisions, but according to the information sent back by the agents, attacking the Nanyang Territory would require at least 6 Division A divisions, and at least half of the ships of the Combined Fleet would be required.

Therefore, after the results of the argument came out, both the Japanese War Department and the Admiralty were busy, preparing to launch an attack on the Nanyang Territory.

Chen Feng, who was far away in the northeast, didn't know that the Japanese jackal had already targeted his territory, of course, even Chen Feng wouldn't care, after all, it was a matter of time.

The position of the Nanyang Territory is very important, as long as the Nanyang Territory is taken, it will be much more convenient for the Japanese army to attack Australia. Moreover, now that the Nanyang Territory is his territory, it is like a lion lying next to the Japanese, and it is understandable that the Japanese are restless.

Chen Feng's current target is still in the northeast, and the Great Northeast strategy has been implemented for almost half a month, but since the total annihilation of the Japanese Eighth Division, the troops' offensive has encountered a major setback.

Chen Feng had always been unaware that the Japanese army had built a large number of fortifications between the important cities in the northeast and Suidong, from Heihe in the north to Shuangliao in the south, and every city along the line was built like a hedgehog. The troops and horses of the department lost troops and troops on the periphery of the three important cities of Qiqihar, Ulanhot and Shuangliao, not to mention the loss of troops, and they were not allowed to advance an inch after seven or eight days.

According to the news from the front, the Kwantung Army has also regained its state in the past few days, and a large number of Japanese puppet troops have been transferred from various parts of the puppet Manchurian and Korean Peninsula, and in less than half a month, the Japanese puppet army gathered on the western front has reached more than 800,000, including more than 300,000 on the Harbin-Qiqihar line, more than 200,000 on the Songyuan-Ulanhot line, more than 100,000 on the Songyuan-Xinjing (Changchun) line, and more than 200,000 on the Xinjing-Shuangliao line.

The offensive operations in the past few days also made Chen Feng realize that the Kwantung Army at this time was not a donkey dung egg a few years later, and the Kwantung Army at this time was still a real elite army with extremely strong combat effectiveness, even in the face of the army under his command armed to the teeth, the performance of the Kwantung Army was also remarkable, and it did not fall into the prestige of the Japanese army at all, which can be seen from the encounter on the nameless hillside.

At the same time, Chen Feng also realized that he could not attack the Kwantung Army, and if he blindly stubbornly knocked out, even if he defeated the Northeast, the losses would be unbearable, so the best way to outwit was to outwit.

In fact, Chen Feng had already thought of this when he was preparing for the war, when he asked Chen Tiebao to form a commando team in order to catch the Japanese army by surprise, and for this reason, he deliberately transferred the paratroopers over, and the purpose was this.

However, with the development of the situation in the world world, his operational plan must be changed. Before, Chen Feng originally planned to use the Eighth Theater to deal with the little devils by himself, but now that the Northeast Asian Theater has been established, there can be no more such a person to resist, anyway, the Soviet Union still has more than one million troops in the Far East, so there is no need to use it in vain.

On October 18, Chen Feng sent a telegram to Ivanov, commander-in-chief of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, and decided to pay a goodwill visit to Boli in two days' time, at which time a brief inspection of the Red Army in the Far East would be conducted.

The Soviet side quickly responded to this, welcoming Chen Feng, commander of the Allied Northeast Asian Theater, to inspect the Red Army in the Far East and hoping that Chen Feng would evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Red Army in the Far East.

On the 18th, Chen Feng's special plane arrived at Boli on time, accompanied by a fighter squadron, a mechanized infantry division and an armored division on the ground.

Bo Li. Command of the Red Army in the Far East.

In addition to Ivanov, the supreme commander of the Red Army in the Far East, the Soviet side also urgently transferred General Zhukov, who was in charge of the defense of Moscow, to Boli to receive Chen Feng, which made Chen Feng a little flattered.

There were a lot of people in the reception room, but Chen Feng was only familiar with Zhukov, even his nominal chief of staff Ivanov, Chen Feng had never seen this person before, and he had never heard of it.

But these could not affect the warm atmosphere in the reception room, for Chen Feng, the magical general, not only the Chinese were curious, the Japanese were curious, and the Soviets were also curious. Comrade Stalin's temper was well known to them, he was a real tough man, he would rather bend than bend, he was very strong in his work, and he never saw him bow his head to that man.

However, it was such a strong leader who bowed to the Chinese general in front of him, and not once. The Sino-Soviet-Mongolian War His Excellency Stalin bowed his head, not only losing control of Outer Mongolia, but also losing the Tangnu Ulianghai.

This time, in the face of the attack of evil Germany, His Excellency Stalin bowed his head again before the Chinese general, this time even more seriously, losing not only the entire Far East, but also Sakhalin.

However, no one thought that Stalin had done something wrong, in fact all the officers who were doing it thought that this was the most correct decision, that the Soviet Union could not survive the attack of China and Germany, and that those lands were originally Chinese, and that returning them would not damage the face of the Soviet Union, let alone national dignity. Therefore, all the Soviet generals present did not hate Chen Feng, some were just curious. (To be continued......)
