Defeating a powerful nation-state in twenty days is a miracle in the history of world military affairs. However, this miracle did happen in the Far East.
Needless to say, Japan¡¯s strength was witnessed by European and American countries. In the Sino-Japanese War, it completely defeated the Qing Dynasty at that time. When competing for the interests of Northeast China and North Korea, it severely damaged Russia¡¯s First Pacific Fleet. Although in the Yellow Sea War a few years later, It was a disastrous defeat, but it still damaged our vitality. Although the navy was defeated, the army was still there.
What I didn¡¯t expect was that not long after China calmed down the situation in North Korea, it took only twenty days to completely capture Tokyo. This speed was simply staggering.
Some foreign media have made extensive reports on Japan's rapid defeat. Their words are full of cynicism about Japan, saying that the Japanese Army is useless. In fact, the large units of the Chinese Army did not participate in too many battles this time. Only more than 30,000 people were actually engaged in the battle, but the Japanese army and militiamen in Japan totaled more than 300,000. With a strength comparison of one to ten, Japan was actually defeated, and it was defeated so quickly. After resisting for a month, he lost his capital in just twenty days. Even if he had 300,000 pigs, the Chinese Army could capture them with 30,000 people, and they would not be able to catch them all in just 20 days!
So the world¡¯s mainstream newspapers are making fun of those Asian dwarfs, who are so vulnerable. At the same time, focusing on a rapidly rising democratic country like the Far East, China is like a rising star in the East, slowly beginning to shine brilliantly, making other countries dare not underestimate it.
However, what is different from these foreign media is that the top leaders of countries such as Britain, Germany, and France saw something different from Japan¡¯s rapid defeat.
China has put into use the latest two new weapons in this war against Japan. One is a steel armored combat vehicle called a tank, and the other is an aerial weapon called an airplane. These two new weapons are China's quick victory over Japan. One of the important reasons.
At the same time, they learned from the offensive route and results of the Chinese Army that the tactics China used this time were new tactics that had never been seen in the world. They were as fast as lightning and extremely violent. This was why 300,000 Japanese could not stop the 30,000 Chinese Army. Another reason to take Tokyo¡¯s steps directly.
Faced with these two new weapons, ordinary trench defense lines cannot play any role at all. At most, they can only slow down the advancement of army soldiers.
After China launched the innovative triple-mounted main gun technology, what followed was the Dreadnought, which changed the history of the naval warfare era, and now are aircraft tanks that are enough to change traditional war tactics. For the giants of these big countries, Tang Jian gave They were too surprised and shocked, and they were surprised to find that with the passage of time, China's various science and technologies have become the best in the world, and China has also determined that in just a few years With its dominant position in the Far East, it has a tendency to become a world power.
It seems that in China, any miracle is possible. It took other countries decades of hard work to achieve their current achievements, but now China has achieved it in just a few years.
The giants of these big countries have to re-examine this rapidly developing and powerful Eastern country. The vitality that this country has burst out is enough to awe everyone.
Therefore, many countries have correspondingly set up special departments to study several classic battles of China in this war with Japan, and incorporated them into the textbooks of various military academies for future navy and army talents to study and study.
Among them, the most worried person is the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom least hopes that such a powerful Eastern country will appear in the Far East. However, the rise of China is now beyond the control of the United Kingdom unilaterally. In other words, under the influence of China, the British influence on the Far East Control is declining sharply, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to Britain, which wants to maintain its world hegemony.
The rise of China is just in line with Germany's interests. Germany really hopes that China can successfully divert some of Britain's attention, and China has now done it. This is of course what Germany likes to see.
Therefore, a battle between China and Japan, and China's complete victory, is a mixture of joy and sorrow for many countries, but every country cannot deny the rapid rise of China's powerful strength.
Many countries have begun to send military and scientific and technological talents to China to learn China's advanced tactics and technologies. Of course, these need to be exchanged at equal value. Tang Jian will not give up any opportunity to make money, and Tang Jian will not be afraid that other countries will surpass China's scientific and technological strength, because every time each country develops a new weapon of its own, Tang Jian's technology has begun to be updated. Other technologies cannot be said. In terms of military technology, Tang Jian is not afraid that European and American countries will surpass China. , who called the Langya five-person team to be the most powerful cheating machine in the world!
After the Chinese war ended, on the other side of the ocean, there were two people who had the biggest reaction.One is British Congressman Churchill, and the other is U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt.
Churchill clearly felt the threat from China from this war, especially the lightning-like tactics that made Churchill a little panicked. Churchill even thought about it, what if China attacked the British mainland with this kind of tactics? With Britain's traditional and backward tactics, even with the most powerful fleet in the world, it is still unable to withstand it. At best, it will last longer than Japan.
Of course, it is almost impossible for China to attack the British mainland, but Churchill was unwilling to give up such a worry, although Prime Minister Chamberlain said that he was a bit unfounded.
However, Churchill believed in his hunch. If Britain went to war with China, the British colonies in the Far East would probably have been completely conquered by China before the British Empire's ocean-going fleet arrived in the Far East.
Churchill believed that in the near future, China would be the most difficult enemy for Britain to deal with in the Far East.
Therefore, Churchill has made a request to Prime Minister Chamberlain to let the British Empire study as soon as possible the new tactics used by China to attack Japan, as well as China's new armored forces and air corps. This will be extremely beneficial to the challenges that the British Empire will face in the future. .
Although Chamberlain had always advocated peace, considering the long-term global strategy of the British Empire, Chamberlain readily agreed to Churchill's suggestion.
When U.S. President Roosevelt heard about the process and results of the Sino-Japanese War, he was also extremely shocked. At the same time, Roosevelt began to rejoice that it was a very wise thing for the United States not to intervene in the Sino-Japanese War. According to the speed at which China completely conquered Japan, I am afraid it will still be Tokyo had already fallen before the U.S. Pacific Fleet sailed to Tokyo Bay. At that time, U.S. intervention was meaningless. Apart from establishing a strong enemy in the Far East, the benefits the United States gained would be insignificant.
Because of Roosevelt's correct decision, the United States not only did not establish a strong enemy in the Far East, but also gained a powerful ally, which was a huge help to the rise of the United States.
The two fast-developing countries of the East and West have come together. This kind of strength is something that no country in Europe dares to underestimate.
However, there was one thing that made Roosevelt feel extremely humiliated, which was equivalent to a slap in the face in front of Tang Jian.
That is the aerial weapon of the Chinese Air Force - the aircraft.
When Tang Jian visited the United States, Roosevelt proudly introduced the aircraft invented by the Wright brothers in front of Tang Jian, and proposed what he thought was a great idea at the time, which was to equip the aircraft with weapons, so that the aircraft could play a powerful role. combat effectiveness.
At that time, Roosevelt's frustration increased sharply after seeing Chinese tanks and cars. In order to save some face, Roosevelt specially introduced the aircraft to Tang Jian. However, what he did not expect was that shortly after he finished the introduction, China's air force played a huge role in the war against Japan.
In other words, when Roosevelt proposed the great idea of ??loading weapons for aircraft, Tang Jian's aircraft should have passed the experimental stage, but it was not put into actual combat due to timing issues. Showing off the combat aircraft that Tang Jian already owned in front of Tang Jian, isn't this equivalent to giving himself a loud slap in the face in front of Tang Jian?
"When he thought of Tang Jian's half-smiling expression, Roosevelt suddenly felt the urge to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
However, it has happened. Roosevelt could only regret it.
Judging from the fact that Tang Jian's plane was put into the Japanese battlefield, this indicates that some of China's military technology has far surpassed that of the United States at this time, which gave Roosevelt a huge sense of crisis.
In this great era, whoever has powerful force has the right to speak on the international stage! Now, it is obvious that every word Tang Jian said based on China's own position has a heavy weight in today's world.
Just when countries around the world were in huge shock because of Japan's defeat, Tang Jian had returned to Fuzhou, and Feng Guozhang led 100,000 Chinese Army troops to stay in Japan and became China's top military and political officer in Japan, handling Japan's post-war In addition to transporting 300,000 Japanese young adults back to China, Feng Guozhang's first task in Japan was to completely transform Japan, destroy all heavy industries in Japan, vigorously develop light industry, and occupy Japan in partitions with other countries, so that Japan would be completely reduced to semi-colonial country.
Cao Kun, who led an army of 50,000, stayed in North Korea to deal with the disbandment of the Korean rebels. Now that the war is over, the Korean rebels have no use value, and keeping them will only increase hidden dangers.
Duan Qirui led an army of 50,000 to guard the Northeast, committed to the development of the Northeast, and strived to allow the Northeast's heavy industry system to begin to take shape within ten years. The three of them officially became the feudal officials of China since the beginning of the territory. .
At this time, Tang Jian began to set his sights on the South China Sea. Defeating Japan was only his first step in building a Pacific island chain.
"It's time to expand the army aggressively." Tang Jian looked to the south and murmured, "China still needs more Chinese men to open up the southern frontier!"
ps: The fifth volume, Sweeping the Pacific, is over. In fact, Sweeping the Pacific is far from over. However, for the sake of the harmony of the whole chapter, another volume "The Sun Never Sets on the Empire" will be opened. This is also the last volume of Beiyang Sword. , starting from this chapter, the Pacific Fleet will not only control the Pacific Ocean but also conquer the world. I hope everyone can continue to support it.
Well, that¡¯s it for today. I think I should go to the hospital for a checkup. To be honest, it¡¯s really embarrassing to talk about this kind of injury. It¡¯s not even as good as a child. But it did happen to me. I originally thought it didn¡¯t happen. What's the big deal, but now it's a little difficult to even hold small things in my right hand. There will be fewer updates in the past few days, but they will not be discontinued. I hope you don't take it wrong. I'll wait until my injury gets better. I hope I won't be hospitalized. Hopefully it's just a muscle strain.
