    After using a sneak attack to catch Japan off guard, the initial military operations of the Army and Navy of the Republic of China can only be described as smooth!

    In the Northeast, almost after the 24-hour warning ended, the Northeast Military Region immediately took over the Japanese Manchuria Railway.  [//Resistance is inevitable. Although the Japanese clearly claim to abide by the agreement with China, the Manchurian Railway's defense strength has not decreased but increased in the past two years. Counting armed expatriates, there are thousands of miles of railways controlled by the Manchurian Railway.  On the ground, there are more than 16,000 Japanese armed forces.

    In order to fully implement the Central Committee¡¯s orders, we must seize the Manchurian Railway as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese from causing trouble behind the scenes.  Li Jishen issued an order to mobilize two artillery brigades and an infantry division, and with the cooperation of more than 60 army aviation fighters, launched a strong attack on the Manchurian Railway garrison.

    The battle lasted for two days, and the Japanese's tenacious will to retreat caused a large number of casualties to the attacking troops. Even with the superior equipment and numbers, the battle loss ratio of both sides was still close to 1:1. However, in  After paying more than 5,000 casualties, the Northeast Military Region successfully took over the Manchurian Railway, the best asset owned by the Japanese in China, within 48 hours by taking advantage of all advantages in numbers and equipment.

    Although, before their defeat, the Japanese had already destroyed the transportation hubs throughout the Manchuria Railway, so that if they were to be reused, at least millions more would have to be invested in repairs.

    In Northern Siberia, life for the Japanese has gradually become difficult, and the threat to Inner and Inner Mongolia and Northeast China has been reduced to extremely low.

    Japan supports the puppet regime of the Semyonov Organization in Eastern Siberia in an attempt to completely control the region.  However, since last winter, the Soviet and Russian troops have begun to take advantage of the Japanese's inability to adapt to the cold Siberian winter and launch a counterattack.  The Soviet Russian army used guerrilla warfare, mainly engaged in mobilizing and organizing the masses and strengthening the guerrilla team. They also took advantage of the favorable conditions that made it difficult for the Japanese army to move in the snow in winter, and took advantage of the cold winter to carry out extensive guerrilla activities. They destroyed railways everywhere, cut off telephone lines, and provided opportunities to the Japanese army.  A big threat.

    To this end, the Japanese army had to concentrate its forces and carried out two large-scale crusade and suppression activities.  The suppression of Boglenag (September to December 1918). The 12th Division, in cooperation with the Second Division, concentrated its forces to suppress the Soviet guerrillas in the northwest of Eastern Siberia. There were several large and small battles.  Ten times, there were four to five battles at the squadron (battalion) level.  During the suppression campaign, 310 people from Tanaka Squadron were surrounded and annihilated by more than 2,000 guerrillas on December 25 and 26. The Japanese army's first encirclement and suppression campaign against Soviet Russia was declared a failure.

    Early this year in January, Japan¡¯s supply camp in Handega was attacked by the Soviet Union, and a large amount of fuel and winter supplies were burned.  In the fury of the military, the Japanese launched their second campaign against the Soviet guerrillas (January to April 1919). Due to the scarcity of winter supplies, the Japanese initially mobilized only two regiments to raid Eastern Siberia.  of the southern region.

    The Japanese caused a lot of killings and atrocities, and countless Russian villages were burned down and looted.

    As the old saying goes, it is your own fault that makes you miserable. The Japanese are using their usual brutality to push themselves into hell.  Eastern Siberia is indeed far away from the center of the Red Revolution, so most of the people here support the tsarist regime.  It was just the ferocity of the Japanese, and even the lack of military expenditures. In order to vent their excess sexual desire, the soldiers robbed and raped local Soviet women everywhere, which led to the rampant sexual diseases among the occupying forces.

    The condition is so serious that when a team of more than 180 people goes into battle, less than 140 people can actually participate in the battle.  At the same time, the atrocities of the Japanese also laid a good foundation for the activities of the Soviet Russian regime.

    Incited by hatred, more and more Eastern Siberian indigenous people fell into the arms of the Soviet Russian regime.  It is conservatively estimated that in just six months, the number of Soviet guerrilla members in the entire Eastern Siberia region has increased from less than 6,000 to more than 43,000.

    As the most livable area in the entire Japanese-occupied area, southern Eastern Siberia is also the area where Soviet Russian guerrilla activities are most frequent.  Their activities were not weakened by the Japanese campaign. The Soviet guerrillas in the southern region used the area near Handega as their base, and their activities became increasingly frequent, attacking and destroying military stations and garrison points built by Japan.

    Due to their activity, the Japanese army felt the shortage of troops and deployed it at the beginning of the year on the front line of the Outer Xing'an Mountains. They could be transferred to the south at any time to cooperate with the Japanese three-line attack in Korea and the Liaodong Peninsula to attack the Fourth Battalion and the Fifth Battalion of the 16th Division of the Northeast Military Region.  The division was transferred back to deal with the threat from Soviet Russia.

    Beginning in March 1919, the Japanese army used the 14th Division, a brigade of the 16th Division, and a regiment of the Fifth Division to attack the Soviet Union in the Ayan-Chagda-Okhotsk-Handega area.  The guerrillas began their crusade. By the end of April, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese suffered more than 3,000 casualties and only killed more than 1,900 Soviet guerrillas. However, they burned and destroyed them.  Dozens of Russian villages and towns caused the local guerrillas to kill more and more people, killing them endlessly.

      The second encirclement and suppression campaign failed undefeated. The tenacious resistance of the Soviet guerrillas shattered Japan¡¯s dream of a quick victory and firmly pinned Japan¡¯s four divisions in Eastern Siberia to the ground, unable to move, creating a solution for the Northeast Military Region.  pressure from the north.

    In the Liaodong Peninsula, the First Army and the Second Army have tenaciously defeated all the Japanese troops in Jinzhou, and have now pushed the front to Wafangdian.  The National Defense Forces concentrated more than 800 artillery pieces on the Liaodong front line, and more than a hundred aircraft continued to drop hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs on the Japanese who defended the Wafangdian front line every day.  According to the latest feedback from the front line, the death squads organized by the First Army have broken through the third line of defense and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese defenders. Judging from the current situation, Wafangdian may be completely captured at midnight today.

    Approaching Dalian and Lushun in the next two days at the latest!

    On the Korean Peninsula, as the Fourth Army was thrown into the battle line.  The National Defense Forces have successively deployed fourteen divisions to engage in ground battles with four Japanese garrison divisions. Since a large number of heavy artillery and Army aviation fighters have been transferred to Liaodong, it is ensured that the National Defense Forces on the Liaodong front can take advantage of the Japanese reinforcements before they arrive.  There are only 40,000 to 50,000 troops stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula.  Therefore, the advancement speed of the Korean Peninsula National Defense Force is very slow. Being able to advance thirty miles in a day is considered a major victory. Almost every position built by the Japanese will leave countless corpses on both sides.

    However, overall the General Staff¡¯s plan has been achieved.  The war on the Korean Peninsula firmly pinned down the four Japanese garrison divisions, and they were unable to support the Liaodong Peninsula.

    In the south, after a day and night of hard fighting, the National Defense Forces had barely established a bridgehead on the island of Taiwan. With the successful landing of the first two squadrons of aircraft and gradually gaining control of the air, the National Defense Forces began to no longer only satisfy the needs of several companies such as Hsinchu and Hsinchu.  The small stronghold began to continuously attack inland.

    At sea, the main force of the Republic of China Navy is patrolling the Yellow and Bohai Sea areas, constantly threatening and squeezing the Japanese squadrons stationed in Port Arthur and North Korea, and interfering with the Japanese Navy's material transportation and maritime personnel transportation channels.  At the same time, dozens of ocean-going submarines swam in the vast waters between China and Japan. In order to retaliate against the Japanese navy's firing on the merchant ships of the Republic of China, the submarine force of the Republic of China, which was trained under the German submarine force, had launched unrestricted submarine warfare. In just a few days  Within a few days, they took advantage of the lack of preparedness of the Japanese and sank hundreds of thousands of Japanese merchant ships and cargo ships to the bottom of the sea.

    In this victorious situation, Li Han also let go of the big stone that had been weighing on his heart.  Under the orders of the Central Committee, local garrison forces have forcibly taken back several concession areas that Japan had established in China.  Under the bombardment of artillery, even if the Japanese wanted to resist, relying solely on the armed forces of the concession was simply not enough to stop the army's actions.

    Currently, Li Han still has a document on his hand.  Although the central government has warned the overseas Chinese in Japan in advance and even organized the evacuation of the overseas Chinese in advance.  But there are still some people who were unable to leave in time for one reason or another.  The angry Japanese established several concentration camps in the country to detain overseas Chinese in Japan. Even some Koreans were imprisoned in the concentration camps as overseas Chinese.  The document in Li Han's hand was to follow Japan's example and establish concentration camps to deal with Japan's massive 100,000 expatriates in China who were too late or had no money to leave.

    "What the president said is that although the results of the current war are beneficial to the Republic of China, Japan is after all one of the few powerful countries. In terms of overall strength, it is still above the Republic of China. There must be no slacking off." The old man sighed with emotion.  , suddenly his face became solemn, and a basin of cold water was poured down.

    Li Han was not angry and nodded, "What President Zhou is saying is, everyone, I am calling you all together in the hope that everyone can come up with some more practical means to further attack and weaken Japan's economic potential and create a better future for Japan."  Laying the foundation for our Republic of China¡¯s victory in the war!¡±

    Li Han¡¯s words surprised Zhou Xuexi and others. The president had never revealed the news beforehand.  However, it is not easy for several people to achieve their current status. Moreover, they had just heard the news from the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang not long ago. Several people were slightly stunned. Hu Ruilin was the first to react and said: "It's related.  The bill drafted by the Ministry of Finance to deal with Japan and combat Japan's economic expansion is good. At present, the best way to crack down on Japan's economy is to prohibit domestic businessmen from importing and selling Japanese industrial products.  Consider temporarily closing factories and mines established by Japanese companies in China!"

    He said it very tactfully, remembering what Lu Zhengxiang said before.

    Li Han frowned and was displeased. He remembered the Republic of China period in history.  The Japanese were bullied to the point where Baldy Chiang also ordered that Japanese industries in China not be confiscated or invaded. Even some raw materials and mines originally operated by a certain party that had cooperation with the Japanese continued to provide resources to them.

    "Bah, they have come to your house. They want to humiliate your wife, kill your children and even cooperate with the Japanese generals"Text.  This country is not spineless, nor is it weak-tempered, but its fundamental nature is less barbaric and more pedantic and principled.

    He frowned, and Hu Ruilin and others suddenly felt their hearts sink, knowing that what he said must dissatisfy the president.

    Sure enough, I heard Li Han say, "Director Lu, why are you here?" He avoided mentioning what he just mentioned, but the smile on his face faded, making everyone who had gradually become familiar with his temper understand.  Well, I'm afraid what Hu Ruilin just said made him very dissatisfied.

    Lu Zhengxiang was not invited by Li Han. He just happened to hang up the phone at the Presidential Palace when Li Han was summoning others, and they ended up together.

    He didn¡¯t hide anything, he directly told the British warning and waited for Li Han¡¯s decision.

    "Huh, British!" Unexpectedly, Li Han was not furious, but just snorted coldly, "A European war crippled France and brought down Tsarist Russia. Even if the dawn of victory is now tilted towards the Allies, killing the enemy  If you lose one thousand to yourself and lose eight hundred, even if you win, the decline of British national power is a foregone conclusion. In the future, the Far East will no longer be left to the British to have the final say!"

    His cold and solemn gaze swept over Lu Zhengxiang and others in turn. Over the years, holding the divine weapon in his hand, his power has increased year by year.  Under his leadership, the development of the Republic of China in the past five or six years can only be described as rapid. The love and support from all walks of life in the country have made him even more powerful, so much so that he has become a "three-dynasty veteran" like Zhou Xuexi.  I didn't dare to look at him either.

    "As a country with complete sovereignty, the Republic of China will have to take this step sooner or later unless we are willing to be vassals of the British and Americans forever. Mr. Lu, the reason why Americans are worried is simply because they are worried about their investments in China  Forget it, I have been neglecting the American Ambassador for a while recently. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will inspect the second phase of the Xijiao Thermal Power Plant that is about to be completed in three days. There are also American investment shares there. Please leak the news to the United States.  Embassy, ??I will have a good discussion with the American Ambassador!¡±

    He lit a cigarette for himself, "The dignity of the country cannot be obtained by blind compromise. It requires war, through a tough attitude, and by stepping on the bones of the enemy. On the British side, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately drafted a wording  A tough reply, we reject any form of interference by the British in our internal affairs. The Republic of China is currently at war with Japan, and how to deal with Japan's industries in China is our country's own business. Can you tell the British side, all  The Republic of China will fully compensate the Japanese companies and industries that Britain invested in after the war."

    Since the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War of 1998, Japan has operated industries in China ranging from 500 million yen to 500 million yen in the past 25 years. Among them, only one Manchuria railway was worth no less than 200 million yen.  If the Republic of China could swallow it, it would be more than just one or two points.

    In the past twenty years, Japan has plundered no less than one billion yen of wealth from the Republic of China, especially several payments of compensation. Unless the Republic of China can immediately become as strong as Britain, Germany, the United States and France, it can completely defeat this country on the battlefield with Japan.  , otherwise it would be impossible to expect to get back the wealth plundered by Japan.

    ¡°As for Japan¡¯s industries in China, in his opinion, they are just some interest paid back by the Japanese.

    Of course, the disadvantages of this are also very obvious.  For example, the reputation of the Republic of China in the world will be damaged to a certain extent, and it is even possible that no one will be able to label the Republic of China a 'rogue state' behind its back.

    "Rogues will be gangsters. No matter Japan, Britain, France or Russia, haven't there been enough hooligans? A strong country is the most important thing when you eat the benefits. As for the infamy of history, let me take the blame.  !¡±

    Silently looking at the map hanging on the wall in front of him, Li Han's eyes swept over the map of the Republic of China, which was gradually expanding, and his eyes gradually became firm.
