ACT273: The Army is also going to play big build

The 300 Datang experts who arrived in Japan were warmly received by the Japanese side, and the main activity of the first week was to play in the local area! Japanese experts, on the other hand, followed each other to increase their affection.

The city of Kinkyo was formerly known as Kagekyo City, the capital of the Ganymede colony, and has long been known as "Kagetokyo" because of its geomorphological features that are very similar to Tokyo. There is even an extinct volcano to the east of the city, which closely resembles Mt. Fuji, and it was because of this that the Japanese colonists made it the capital of the colony.

Now that the Japanese government has moved its capital to this area, in addition to changing the name of the city to the "Second New Tokyo City", which has many slots, it is also building a large number of buildings in the area in order to "recreate" the style of old Tokyo. Although this is a bit of a waste of money and labor, it also gives those Japanese who have immigrated in a hurry during the disaster a place to feel homesick.

However, when these experts had had enough of playing and were ready to sit down and start researching, the person in charge of the Japanese activities suddenly made a "personnel allocation" that made many Japanese naval experts want to explode into foul language. On the navy's side, Hiraga Jean was even more angry and took the "personnel allocation form" to the person in charge, Inukai Naruhito, and asked with a roar in the other party's office.

"Inu-kun, what do you mean by that? The two major fields of sea and land are studied separately, and this old man reluctantly admits it, but is the personnel allocation of you, a Tang expert, really the result of brain thinking!? โ€

"General Hiraga, don't get excited, this ...... It's not my share. โ€

"Which son of a son of a girl did that!?"

"Yes...... It was the Minister of War, General Banheng. โ€

"This bunch of damn horse manure!"

Discord between the naval and land armies is a very common situation in the military all over the world, but this situation is especially severe on the Japanese side! The discord between the Japanese Navy and the Army has long since risen to the point of mutual hostility! When the Imperial Road faction of the Army (Note (1)) launched the "226 Mutiny", the two sides almost fought a Japanese civil war.

In addition to the factional problems left over from the Restoration, the main contradictions between the Japanese navy and army were also differences in the way of external expansion. The navy is intellectual, or modest, and believes that the pace of foreign expansion cannot be rushed, while the army belongs to the radical faction. I can't wait to conquer the world in a week!

Originally, these teases were placed under the hands of sensible rulers and should be suppressed, but these madmen ran into Hirohito, the second disease. So the army has been favored by the emperor all these years, and gradually began to sรจ!

Don't look at the level of the Japanese Army, which can only be regarded as second-rate, or even third-rate in the world, but these guys always think that the meaning of their existence is to open up territory for "Greater Japan". But they have no choice but to "have high ambitions and short legs", and without spaceships, they just want to fight out, and they can't get to the sky with "11 roads" alone.

But the long-standing discord between the two branches of the armed forces has made the army instinctively reject and ask the navy for help.

Therefore, under the influence of this confrontational situation, the Japanese Army in order to make up for its own "congenital deficiencies". Brain-opening wants to develop the "Army Naval Combat Force"! Not only did they build a lot of army shipyards, they robbed the navy of materials that were not abundant, and even built an aircraft carrier called the Shenzhou Maru, which was a big surprise!

The idea of the Army was to build a landing ship force first and send their troops out to fight. Jupiter's twelve second-class moons are almost all weak countries that were brought out by relying on the Tang Dynasty, and there is no strong army in the territory, as long as the locust army can send the army over, even without the support of the navy, it can sweep away these scum.

All right! At least that's what the Japanese Army itself thinks!

But although the idea is good, these "horse manure" in the mouth of IJN are also the masters whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper! They wanted to build landing ships, torpedo boats. None of this is a problem, after all, it's not very difficult. But in order to get rid of their "dependence" on the Navy as much as possible, these guys even want to build aircraft carriers and battleships!

Hiraga Jean took advantage of this to ridicule the army's whimsy, and as a result, this exchange activity. The other party made him take a big bite of "flies".

Taking advantage of the emperor's favor to the army and his own authority, the Minister of War, Ita Heng Seishiro, not only demanded that the sea and land sides communicate with the Tang experts separately, but also ran away all the ship experts, so that the naval shipbuilding engineers led by Hiraga had no professional counterpart to communicate with.

And the Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Mine, although he argues with reason. He even went to the emperor to get into trouble, but in the end he couldn't change this ridiculous distribution of personnel. In the end, in a fit of anger, he used a posture of "completely giving up treatment". A magical order was given to the Japanese experts who participated in the exchange activities!

"Since the Army wants to build ships, then let's build mechs for the Marine Corps!"

Naval experts help the army develop warships, and army experts help the navy develop mechas! As soon as this novel gameplay came out, the Japanese experts were completely speechless, and Pinghe even brushed his sleeves away, while many experts on the Tang side were already secretly laughing in private.

You must know that when you came, Datang didn't have any eyes left. Although 300 experts looked like a lot, involving a lot of military technology fields, not a single radar expert came! Moreover, some key areas have also been privately advised, so that they can keep a "heart" to a certain extent.

Even if these experts really help Japan wholeheartedly, they will not be able to solve each other's problems in ten years or eight years.

"Are we really talking to a unified nation?"

"Who knows? But let's respect Japan's internal affairs~ Poof! โ€

So the scene that made the Japanese experts speechless and the Tang experts either couldn't understand it, or secretly had fun, happened. However, Zhao Jian, as a "specially invited expert" on key aviation projects, was still snatched up by the navy. For this reason, the other party even did not hesitate to send the ship's mother to "lust ~ lure"! Let the two "oversized heavy cruisers" of Atago and Kaohsiung come forward and "clamp" the Zhao ship to the new Yokosuka naval base.

It wasn't until years later that some IJN officers who survived the world war said that they had done a stupid thing of "luring the wolf into the house", which laid the foundation for the subsequent series of "heavy losses". Of course! That's all for later (laughs)!

Note (1): A faction of the Japanese Army, influenced by Kita Kazuki's thoughts, advocated the transformation of the country under the emperor's personal administration and the realization of the Showa Restoration, and advocated a decisive war with the Soviet Union externally. (To be continued......)
