    Once the European War is over, the eyes of European and American powers will undoubtedly return to the Far East. By then, the external environment of the Republic of China will undoubtedly deteriorate rapidly, and it will be almost impossible to achieve the same high development as during the European War.  ¡¾./Text first release

    Not only is rapid development not guaranteed, the Republic of China will also face competition and suppression from Britain, France, the United States and other countries.  Regardless of the policy the United States chose to support China in the Far East in the past few years, that is just because the United States mainly focused its energy on Europe. Once the European War is over, American products will once again face competition from European powers, and they will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.  The European market has to turn its attention to other overseas markets again.

    Therefore, after the end of the European War, the Far East, especially the emerging market of Far East China, will undoubtedly become a place where the established European powers and the emerging United States compete.

    In the original history, the capital and industry of the Republic of China were defeated, and Li Han saw this very clearly.  For this reason, he spent a long time formulating a twenty-year development plan for himself and the entire country according to different periods.  This has clearly included all the worst-case scenarios that may be encountered. Now that the European War is coming to an end, he has already felt that in order to cope with the upcoming suppression and competition from the European and American powers, the Republic of China must  Before that, we should recover the territory occupied by Japan, frighten certain countries with military victory, and force the possible conflicts and suppression after the war to become economic competition.

    Although from the current point of view, some small aspects of his grand strategy still need to be modified, but overall it is very feasible.

    The Zheng He Plan was a plan formulated by Li Han to deal with the Japanese.  This plan came about after the Sino-Japanese conflict in 1914. He saw that the Japanese mainlanders had always focused their attention on China, especially the Liaodong Peninsula and the Japanese garrison in Korea. They became even more arrogant. Even the Republic of China taught them a hard lesson on the Shandong Peninsula.  After a pause, the Japanese continued to arrogantly cross the occupied areas many times and harass the Northeast region.

    In order to change this unfavorable situation and win sufficient development time for the Republic of China.  Combined with the background of the European War at that time, a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind, that is, the 'Zheng He Plan'.

    Strictly speaking, Zheng He's plan was not just one or two steps, but a long-term combat plan against Japan. Its purpose was to eventually recover the territory occupied by Japan, and at the same time, push Japan to the forefront and become a shield for the Republic of China.

    The plan initially started in the middle of the 15th year. The Republic of China supported the Japanese revolutionaries and the navy southward, and even dispatched agents from the Bureau of Investigation to operate in Japan. By inciting the media and public opinion, the originally overwhelming voice favored going north to expand to the mainland.  gradually polarized.  In order to achieve this goal, the Republic of China did a lot.  First, the three major military regions of Northeast China, North China, and East China were established. Nearly 400,000 troops were on standby, and batch after batch of permanent military buildings were constructed. Anyone who was not blind could see that the top brass of the Republic of China and the military machinery were wary of Japan.  At the same time, the Republic of China ignored the Sino-Japanese armistice agreement and aggressively expanded its military strength under the banner of reserve force.  At the same time, by spreading this news to Japan, it was promoted to the Japanese people and people with lofty ideals who had already devoted themselves wholeheartedly to enjoying the dividends of the European War and were unwilling to destroy the God-given opportunity, so as to force the Japanese to believe that if their army wanted to embark on another journey,  On the territory of the Republic of China, it is bound to start a desperate battle with the national defense forces of the Republic of China. Even if they win, it will be nothing more than a tragic victory like the Russo-Japanese War.

    In fact, during the Okuma Shigenobu period, the Japanese people gradually tended to be stable and pursued wealth and equality. Although the army, unwilling to lose Manchuria and Mongolia, was still clamoring for revenge and going north, there were very few responders.  Li Han won, relying on the Japanese people's dissatisfaction with the war that might affect their living standards after the Russo-Japanese War.

    Before the year of 1911, there was a huge disparity in strength between the northward faction and the southward faction in Japan. However, by 2015-16, the voice of the southward faction in Japan gradually became louder. Especially after most of the top brass of the navy and several veterans began to look southward, the southward faction  The power has increased dramatically. Although it is still unable to confront the Kitakami faction head-on, it also has the energy to influence the decision-making of the Japanese court.

    ??Among them, the Japanese Navy played a leading role.  The Japanese have been coveting the rich supplies in the Malacca Strait and Southeast Asia for a long time.  Especially under Li Han's butterfly effect, Germany annexed the Netherlands and forced the Netherlands to perish.  The Dutch East Indies Colony also became a piece of meat on other people's plates with the demise of the Dutch government, and the royal family's exile in England.  Under this circumstance, the Japanese Navy's desire to move south has become even more irresistible.

    finally.  The first main strategy of Zheng He's plan was successful. The Japanese southbound faction succeeded for the first time in court against the northbound mainland faction. Tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of tons of warships headed south. The Dutch East Indies colonies were occupied by Japan. Japan not only controlled  They entered the Strait of Malacca, rewriting the situation in which the British dominated this strategically important area. They even had conflicts with the three major naval powers of Britain, France and the United States, and successfully attractedattracted the attention of the Three Kingdoms.

    Before the end of the European War, Britain, France and other countries could choose to temporarily ignore the Nanyang issue in order not to lose Japan as their main ally. However, it is difficult to say what kind of reaction they will make after the European War ends.  Especially the United Kingdom and the United States. The United Kingdom has always regarded the Strait of Malacca as its own confinement, and Nanyang as its sphere of influence.  The United States faces a direct threat from the Japanese navy in the Pacific. At the same time, the Philippines, its only Far East colony, is also surrounded by Japan on three sides.  It is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch Japan proudly annex the entire Southeast Asia.

    And although in the short term, Japan's national power was enhanced because of Li Han's strategy.  In fact, this is not the case. The distance from Nanyang to the Japanese mainland is more than ten thousand miles. Therefore, the Japanese navy is divided into northern and southern parts. At the same time, Japan also allocates huge funds every year to develop colonial industry, mining and railways, and dispatches a large number of troops to station in the Nanyang colonies.

    Therefore, as long as a few large-scale naval forces are dispatched, there is hope that Japan's mainland and Southeast Asian colonies can be dealt with separately.

    After the first step of Zheng He's plan was successful, Li Han began to make the next step.

    On how to regain the lost territory from Japan, he conducted intensive research with senior officials of the General Staff and the Army and Navy many times, and finally determined that Japan's land power was no longer enough to threaten the Republic of China, so it was not difficult to regain the Liaodong Peninsula.  .  After all, from 2014 to the present, they have built thousands of miles of positions and more than 50,000 permanent fortifications in the Northeast, blocking the possibility of the Japanese attacking the Northeast from the Liaodong Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula and even the Vladivostok area.

    Unless the Japanese invested more than 400,000 troops in the Northeast region within half a month of the outbreak of the war, and mobilized 2,000-3,000 artillery pieces, and 300-500 fighter planes whose performance was still superior to the aircraft of the Republic of China.  Only in this way can the defense line of the Northeast Military Region be completely destroyed before the Republic of China could react.  Otherwise, the outcome of the northern land war would be in the hands of the Republic of China from the beginning.  The probability of the Republic of China counterattacking and occupying the Korean Peninsula is low, but it is not difficult to regain the Liaodong Peninsula and force the Japanese troops to withdraw.

    The most difficult part of the war is actually the battle to recover Taiwan.  Because of the weak navies of China and Japan

    "Currently, all frontline troops of our army have been deployed. According to the combat plan, the existing thirty-eight divisions in the Northeast Military Region, Mongolian Military Region, Yishang Military Region, East China Military Region, and North China Military Region will be reorganized into nine armies. Once the war begins, the  The First Army and the Second Army will launch a strong attack on the Liaodong Peninsula to ensure that all Japanese military forces except Port Arthur will be wiped out within ten months. The Third Army and the Fourth Army will launch a full-line strong attack on the Korean Peninsula. By then, the Fifth Army  In addition to cooperating in planning the attack, we still need to take orders to be vigilant from the direction of Vladivostok. We are worried that the Japanese are likely to send troops from Vladivostok. The Sixth Army and the Seventh Army will be stationed in Fengtian and Harbin in the early post-war period, depending on the situation on the front line.  The Eighth Army and the Ninth Army will move along the Lena River and the Transoxingan Mountains to guard against the Japanese Siberian garrison moving south."

    "As the backbone of this operation, Army Aviation plays an extremely important role. At present, in addition to the Second Brigade that has been deployed in the Northeast Military Region, we have begun to allocate aircraft from other regions to the Northeast for assembly. According to the current assembly speed, only  It will take another week for us to assemble more than 500 aircraft. We don't want to see a single Japanese fighter plane flying over the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. Once Japan's air power is destroyed, we have already prepared for Japan in the rear.  People have prepared more than 10,000 tons of high-explosive aerial bombs, which is less than half of what we have stored in recent years."

    "In the northern theater, since our preparations are very sufficient compared to Japan, we may gain a certain advantage in the early stage on the northern front. But it is easy to recover the Liaodong Peninsula. If we want there to be no war in Northeast China in the next twenty or thirty years, we must  Let¡¯s see where we can reach on the Korean Peninsula and what price we will inflict on the Japanese!¡±
