Chapter 211: Post-War Disposition

After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan was completely crippled.

First of all, the 6th Army, 4 divisions, 4 brigades, and the garrison brigade were completely annihilated, and 7 divisions and regiments were beaten to pieces, plus the casualties in the strategic bombing and shore bombardment in the past few days, the number of dead has exceeded 20,000, 40,000 wounded, and 10,000 captured.

Then there is the navy, the combined fleet has lost everything, and the combat ships with a total tonnage of 30,000 tons are now less than 10,000 tons, and the largest is a 146-ton "Yodo" first-class gunboat. The others were either sunk or captured in the naval battles of Zhoushan and the Diaoyu Islands, as well as in the subsequent battles. Even the Etajima Naval School was made into a barbecue, and more than 376o officers and men were killed and more than 40,000 were wounded.

There were also civilian casualties, in which more than 180,000 Japanese civilians were killed and more than 60,000 were wounded. These casualties were mainly caused by strategic bombardment and shore bombardment, and some were casualties caused by civilians who provided services to the Japanese army during combat. Although the squadron did not deliberately target civilian targets, the staff of various factories, warehouses and other facilities, as well as the civilians who served the Japanese army, did not have long eyes, and there was no way to do it.

Wen Deji is not the kind of mother who "asks not to touch civilians at all", so it is also a pity to express this. Of course, there is another reason, that is, China has risen too fast, Japan has not had the opportunity or ability to commit many reinforcing crimes, and the two countries have not yet formed an irresolvable mortal enmity like the original time and space.

In the strategic bombing and shore bombing operations that lasted for several days, Japan's industry was severely destroyed, with more than 4o% of the heavy industrial capacity and 3% of the light industrial capacity destroyed, and countless facilities and materials burned and blown up.

Well, even if Mr. Wen did not bomb residential and commercial areas under the restraint of Mr. Wen, Japan's losses were so great that they wanted to cry.

According to preliminary statistics, the war caused at least 600 million yen in direct economic losses to Japan. The national strength accumulated since the Meiji Restoration was hit hard, and it was simply a hard struggle for more than ten years, and it was returned to the pre-Meiji era overnight. Japan, which was originally considered the pinnacle of the second-class powers, was suddenly withdrawn back to the prototype. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation was still there, and there were bulls and cows to support it, plus the navy still had a few battleships and battle cruisers that had not returned home or were under construction, I am afraid that even the qualifications of the great powers would have been lost.

Compared with Japan's heavy losses of more than 440,000 dead and nearly one million wounded, China's losses are much smaller, with more than 73o killed and nearly 10,000 wounded in the six navies combined. These casualties were mainly caused in several street battles in Lushun, Taipei, and Seoul, and the casualties caused in the street battles accounted for more than 6 of the total casualties.

It must be admitted that although the equipment and tactics of the Japanese army were inferior to those of the squadron, they were extremely tenacious, and under the conditions of street fighting, the restrictions on technical equipment and tactics were extremely great, so they caused great trouble to China. For this reason, after the war, the squadron also strengthened the training of street fighting, and began to open special clothes for street fighting

Nearly 1,06 Chinese civilians were killed and more than 66 wounded. These casualties are mainly concentrated in Taiwan and the Kwantung leased territory, which are all war zones, and it is impossible to be affected. Civilian casualties in the rest of the Big 6 are "O".

In addition, more than 10,000 civilians in the DPRK region were killed and 20,000 wounded. About 7oo died and more than 26 were injured in the Ryukyu region.

This battle also gave the European and American powers a clearer understanding of China's strength. There is no doubt that with such a slight loss, Japan can be beaten to the point that it cannot take care of itself, which is the strength of a first-class power, and this is a dignified victory, not by any sneak attack and luck.

Although China has been accepted as one of the great powers in the past few years, it is considered second-rate. The great powers in the world today are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the first-class is of course Niu Niu, who deserves to be the first brother of the earth. The next first-class powers were the United States, France, Russia and Germany, and Austria-Hungary was barely quasi-first-class. The second-rate powers were Italy, the Ottomans, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, and other countries. Countries like Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium, and Chile are considered third-rate powers.

It turns out that China is considered to be the second tier, the same as Japan. But now, whether the great powers want it or not, the facts are there, and they have to pinch their noses and admit that China does have the strength of a first-class power.

June 2, 254 (1913), Wuhan, Presidential Palace.

Because of the big victory over Japan, the State Council announced that this year's May Day holiday will be a seven-day holiday, which is a paid vacation, so that the people of the whole country will be happy and happy together. Today is the second day of the May Day holiday, but Wen Desi is definitely not fake, and neither are the important leaders of the central government and the army. Today, when the people of the whole country are celebrating the holiday, they also gathered in the presidential palace to discuss the post-war disposition.

"Mr. Wen, what is your opinion on the handling of North Korea and the Ryukyus...... "Premier Zhang Lizheng asked.

"Oh, what? are there still many opinions?" Wen Deji was a little curious.

Zhang Lizheng nodded and said: "Yes, the main opinions are divided into two categories, and each category has several different opinions on details. The first is to restore the independence of Korea and the Ryukyus to the status of independent states, and the second is to directly integrate them into our country. In the first category, there are those who retain their royal family to implement a constitutional monarchy, those who depose the royal family and implement a republic, and those who restore the tributary system and join the scientific socialist alliance dominated by our country...... Wait a minute. In the second category, there are also differences of opinion on the implementation of a federal and provincial system in the two localities, as well as the establishment of autonomous regions......"

"Well, I don't think about the first category, we spend so much money, is it to help them become independent? What are you kidding? I'm not the kind of wronged ...... Wanli" Wen Desi said a little unhappily: "I won't do a stupid thing to take a false name and sacrifice real profits." ”

"Don't forget, the Korean Peninsula has been a sacred and inalienable territory of our country since ancient times, and we, the Socialist Party, are committed to restoring China's homeland since ancient times, and the four Han counties on the Korean Peninsula are also homeland...... said with a normal face.

As for questions such as "whether the four counties of Han include the entire Korean Peninsula", since Mr. Wen ignored them, and none of the people present were stupid, no one mentioned this kind of thing at all. Since Mr. Wen said that the four counties of Han included the entire Korean Peninsula, then it must be like this

As for the slight difference with history, it is also a very normal thing, and there is also interest in the money deposited in the bank, and the four counties of Han have been 26 years, and it is also very fair to calculate the remaining bit of land as interest. Besides, the Samhan in the south at that time was just a tribe, not a country at all, since it was not a country, then there were human rights, and the territory was not counted for them, and the most important thing is that the regime on the Korean Peninsula has always been a vassal of China, and the entire vassal state joined the suzerain, isn't it a very logical and reasonable thing?

Therefore, the same is true for the treatment of the Ryukyus.

Basically, there will be no ignorant people in the government who dare to question the basis of President Wen, if there is any unsightly guy in the domestic society who dares to talk nonsense...... That's right, it's Comrade Fan Han, the minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee, Minister Fan will make the kind of guy who doesn't have long eyes regret it forever, and what awaits them will be mines and brick kilns.

Mr. Wen is so confident

Wen Deji continued: "...... As for the status after being incorporated into our country, of course, it can only be a provincial system. What federations, what autonomous regions, do not care at all. Our first-level administrative units in China are only provinces, and there is no such mess, so don't make trouble for yourself......"

"Yes, understood, I will pass on your instructions......" Zhang Lizheng asked again: "Then what is your opinion on the current political district setting of the new territory?"

Wen Desi thought for a while and said: "As for the division of political districts, I initially envision this. The entire territory of Korea was set up as a province, which was called the Korean Province, and Tsushima Island was also assigned to it. Ryukyu is too small to be a province, so it is good to set up Ryukyu City, and the Ogasawara Islands will be assigned to it, and it will be incorporated into Taiwan Province. South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands are too sparsely populated to be suitable for the establishment of provinces, so let's set up a special zone directly under the central government at the same level as the city, just like the South Pacific Special Zone and the Gulf Special Zone. It's called the North Pacific ......."

After the issue of dividing the new territory into administrative regions was resolved, Chief of the General Staff Xin Jie began to introduce the situation of the Korean anti-Japanese forces.

Xin Jie turned on the projector and walked to the podium to introduce him.

"There are two types of anti-Japanese armed forces in North Korea, the first type is the anti-Japanese weapons built by the North Korean locals, and the equipment and training level of these people are very poor. And their composition is very complicated, there are high status of the princes and nobles of the former Korean Kingdom, medium landlords and gentry, purely composed of low-class civilians, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the former Korean king's ** team who are not subject to Japanese rule, and even bandits and bandits. According to our plan, we will only provide some very basic support to this group of people, mainly light weapons and logistical materials, as well as intelligence support. ”

"The second category is different, which is completely in our hands, or at least most of the weapons. The main leaders of this type of guerrilla force and even all the subordinates are our people, and they are equipped with political workers in the ministry. Their weapons are all standard weapons provided by us, and their equipment and training level are generally close to the second-line troops of our regular army, and some of the elite can reach the level of first-line troops...... The local members of this part of the guerrillas have been screened and fully educated and brainwashed, and at least the core and backbone of the personnel are completely inclined to our country, and they are extremely disgusted with the former Korean Kingdom. This part of the people can be trusted, and there will be no adverse effects after the merger. ”

"And the first type of armament, in recent operations, has basically been consumed in the war against the Japanese army. The rest of them have already been tracked by us, and if they know each other, we can guarantee that they will be eliminated in the shortest possible time......"

That's right, for China, these North Korean anti-Japanese forces have now completed their historical mission and can come to a glorious end. If they know each other, China will not hesitate to pay and bonuses, but if they don't know each other and want to change from an anti-Japanese armed force to a ** armed force, then it is better to die
