    Chapter 211

    What was even more surprising was that Shan Shanyuan called Wu Wei into the conference room. There were many people in the meeting room, including Tojo Hideki, Nagata Tetsuzan, Honjo Shigeru, Umezu Yoshijiro, Ishihara Kanji, etc. It can be said that the so-called elites of the Japanese Army today  Here it is.

    Wu Wei, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, stands out among these people.  Because the popularity is very good, the relationship between the Imperial Road Faction and the Control Faction is not bad. When Lieutenant General Kawada appeared, everyone smiled, as if they were waiting for you.

    "Kawada-kun, thank you for your hard work. Sit down quickly." The one who spoke was Army Minister Sugi Sugimoto. Normally, a meeting of this level would be nothing without Wu Wei. However, Wu Wei is known as the number one strategist of the Japanese Army today. I heard that Kawada Wei  After returning from Nanyang, Nagata Tetsuzan and Ishihara Kanji both asked Kawada Ai to participate in the meeting. Even Tojo Hideki had the same attitude.

    The current Japanese Army is mainly divided into two factions, the representatives of which are Tojo and Nagata.  Ai Kawada seems to be a centrist, but in fact both groups consider him one of their own. Tojo believes that Kawada has always advocated overthrowing politicians and letting the military take power.  Nagata and Ishi Principle have always believed that Kawada is a calm and rational soldier. Unlike most Japanese soldiers who clamor about mountains of corpses and seas of blood all day long, Kawada has a clear understanding of the difficulties faced by Japan and belongs to the same type of people as them.  .

    "Kawada-kun, do you still remember your original prophecy? If you remember correctly, it should have been ten years ago. You said that there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests. You also asserted that because of the deterioration of the relationship between China and the Soviet Union  , there will be the possibility of an alliance between Japan and the Soviet Union. Now this possibility has become a reality. Stalin sent a secret envoy to seek a joint attack on China by the Soviet Union and Japan." Nagata Tetsuyama spoke.  Many people at the scene gasped, ten years ago!

    "Nani? Ten years ago?" Shan Shanyuan opened his mouth and asked subconsciously.  Ishihara smiled and said: "Some people joke that I am the brains of the Korean garrison. In my opinion, Kawada-kun is the brains of the Japanese army. Ten years ago, I could not imagine that such a thing would happen. Kawada-kun is  I have been told for sure that this kind of thing is very likely to happen. That¡¯s why I must invite Kawada-kun to today¡¯s meeting.¡±

    Kawada Wei stood up, looked at Shan Shan Yuan and said: "Your Excellency, can I ask a question?" Shan Shan Yuan smiled and nodded, Wu Wei: "Can you ask me first what my mission is when I return to China?" Shan Shan Yuan  Said: "Tš­jo-kun recommended you to me, saying that you are a rare genius in the Japanese army. It would be a waste of talent to use you to deal with the British devils. China is Japan's biggest enemy. So. He recommended you.  He is the chief of staff of the Far East Garrison or the director of military affairs of the Army Province."

    "I understand! It's so presumptuous, everyone!" Wu Wei bowed slightly, and everyone looked expectantly. They all knew that Wu Wei had something to say, so naturally they were looking forward to what he could say that would impress them.  .

    Walking to the huge map, Wu Wei picked up the pole.  Pointing to the map, he said: "This is Siberia, and this is Central Asia. The main battlefields between China and the Soviet Union. The two countries have assembled nearly ten million troops on these two battlefields. The Chinese have assembled more than 5,000 aircraft and 9 mechanized armies.  Six thousand tanks, 230 infantry divisions, and more than 20,000 artillery pieces. At a glance, the Chinese have invested almost all their military power in it. So let me ask you. How many mechanized divisions does China have? How many?  Infantry division?¡±

    "According to information provided by the intelligence department, the Chinese have been able to train at least 200 infantry divisions for more than half a year after entering the general mobilization. In other words, the total strength of the Chinese is about 300 infantry divisions and 15 mechanized corps." Answer this  The problem is Ishihara Kanji, who is also known as a calm person.

    Wu Wei smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "I have carefully studied China's reserve system. There are more than 2,000 counties in China, and each county has a permanent organization called the Ministry of Armed Forces. Within the Ministry of Armed Forces, each county  There is a reserve regiment establishment, which is the establishment of two thousand infantry regiments. So what is the actual establishment? In fact, they are based on different levels of economic level. Some counties have one regiment establishment, but have two or even three regiments.  In other words, in counties with good economies, the Chinese actually have one or two more regiments of reserve officers. Even if half of the counties have an officer establishment of two regiments, right? The most important thing in China is population.  How many troops do you think China will have within six months once it launches general mobilization?"

    The hissing sounded again, and it came from several people.  "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Soldiers are a major issue for the country, the way of life and death, and the place of survival. For Japan, facing an opponent like China, rashly launching a war is undoubtedly a foolish act. I remember correctly.  In other words, Japan once sought to improve relations with the Soviet Union and implemented an east-west pincer attack strategy against China. However, the Soviet Union at that time responded indifferently. Why? Because Stalin believed that if there was no threat from Germany, he could defeat China independently. So now it is taking the initiative to attack  The Soviet Union was defeated again and again.?Stalin had to wake up from his fantasy and seek to jointly attack China with Japan.  I can responsibly assert that the Soviet Union will not form an alliance with Japan as long as Britain and the United States do not declare war on the Soviet Union.  Stalin's calculation was actually very simple, to use Japan to share the pressure on the Soviet Union, because he knew very well that once it formed an alliance with Japan, the Soviet Union would have no way out.  Moreover, an alliance with Japan was not in the long-term interests of the Soviet Union.  What were the Soviet Union's long-term interests?  During the Salu era, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expanded eastward, seized Vladivostok, the outlet of the Pacific Ocean, grabbed huge interests in Northeast China, and triggered the Sun-Law War.  "

    "Kawada-kun, what do you mean, the Soviet Union will not ask for an alliance with Japan, but only hopes to form a tacit understanding between the Soviet Union and Japan? Is this unlikely? Without an alliance, why should the empire attack China? We must know our main interests now  In Nanyang." Ishihara Kanji and Kawada Ai have a very tacit understanding, and they sing harmoniously.

    "Yes, that's what I want to express. When the empire sought to cooperate with the Soviet Union, it was based on not going south. We need the resources of the Soviet Union. Now all resources can be obtained from Nanyang, so there is no need to risk and anger  China? Let China and the Soviet Union fight, so that we can safely sweep away the British devil's power in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. In less than three years, the empire's strength will be doubled or tripled, and by then it will be too late to fight a decisive battle with China.  . And at this time, we are going to war with China. It is obvious that we have to face at least 6 Chinese mechanized armies and more than a hundred infantry divisions. Everyone, this math problem should not be difficult for you. According to a one-to-one comparison of military strength  , the total strength of the empire in Korea and the Far East is only fifty divisions, and they are basically B divisions. Due to lack of resources, none of our divisions are equipped with cannons with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and the Chinese have been  Before. At least one hundred infantry divisions were equipped with 155 howitzers. The Chinese mechanized army has three tank brigades in each army. Even the oldest model, the Great Wall Type 3, is not inferior to the latest heavy tanks of the empire. Still  There is the Air Force. The Chinese Air Force started earlier than the Empire. Even the British are purchasing their latest fighter jets. I estimate that the Chinese have deployed at least a thousand fighter jets and a thousand bombers and torpedo planes along the coast to prepare for the Empire.  "

    "Then I understand what Mr. Kawada means, not to agree to the Soviets. Should the Army oppose the tacit understanding of the sun?" Shan Shanyuan asked solemnly, and Ai Kawada smiled slightly and said: "No, we have to agree to the Soviets, not only to the Far East Army, but also to the Soviets."  We need to increase our troops and hold a large-scale military exercise at the same time.¡±

    When everyone looked thoughtful.  Nagata Tetsuzan has already jumped to his feet: "Okay! That's great! Mr. Kawada is indeed the brains of the Japanese Army! Not only does he have superhuman foresight in strategy, but he also has extraordinary attainments in tactics. In this battle in Nanyang, Lieutenant General Yamashita  In the military newspaper, he praised Kawada-kun's commanding skills and said that you were like a sharp scalpel when fighting."

    "Yamashita-kun, thank you!" Kawada Ai said modestly, feeling relieved in his heart.  I am afraid that the Japanese military will not be able to resist its desire for the mainland.  It would be really bad to really agree with the Soviet Union to fight China.  Fortunately, at this time, Japan had no alliance with the Soviet Union.  For Japan that needs to fight on two fronts, not provoking China is naturally the best answer in everyone's mind.  "As far as geography is concerned, the geography of the three countries in Rizhao is too bad. The three powerful countries are crowded together. The situation is a bit like the Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the end, of these three powerful countries, only one winner will be left to dominate Asia in the future.  The Japanese Empire must be this victor, and it can only be this victor, otherwise it will never rise again."

    Everyone nodded in agreement. After the world entered industrialization, the advantages of big countries were too obvious.  A small country like Japan has few resources. It only took the originally weak China more than 20 years to overwhelm Japan.

    "Kawada-kun is so right. The rise and fall of the empire rests on the shoulders of all the kings. We are the soldiers of the empire. We will work hard to move forward for the sake of the cause and carve out a bloody road for the empire to reach the top of the world." Shanshan Yuan said.  With the summary, this meeting is basically over.

    Wu Wei took the first step, and Ishihara Wan'er chased after him and said, "I'll drive Kawada-kun home." Wu Wei said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

    Ishihara Wanji shook his head and said: "I don't work hard, Kawada-kun is the one who works hard." Wu Wei was shocked by these words. There are two people in the Japanese Army whom Kawada attaches great importance to.  The first one is Nagata Tieshan, and the second one is Ishihara in front of me.  Did he see through his intentions when he spoke like this?  Before Kawada could think of words, Ishihara was surprised and sighed: "Do these people still think that China is now thirty years ago? The empire's navy may still have some advantages. Facing the Chinese army, the army has little advantage in quality and quantity.  You are completely at a disadvantage. Kawada-kun sees this very clearly, so why do you speak like that in the meeting? You cleverly avoid the essence of the problem and push these idiots in the direction you want to see. Hum, they don't have any at all  I thought about another question, ?Even if the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is not as good as that of Japan, and Japan defeated China in one battle with all its strength, how many troops will it have to occupy China's territory?  Going to war with China is doomed to fall into the swamp of war. Who has thought about this?  China is a big country with sufficient strategic depth and a long historical and cultural heritage.  Once faced with national subjugation and genocide, the Chinese people will unite as a nation and fight.  "

    Probably only Ishihara would comment on his colleagues like this!

    Wu Wei gave a long sigh as a response.  Ishihara Wanji also sighed and said: "Damn it, more than 90% of the imperial soldiers believe that once China and Japan go to war, the bravery of the imperial soldiers will defeat the cowardly Chinese."

    "Ishihara-kun, this view should have changed now. The Chinese have achieved great victories on both battlefields. If an imperial soldier cannot see this, he is not a qualified soldier."

    "No, no, no, Kawada-kun, you think too highly of these people's IQs!"

    The two had a good relationship and had a good chat along the way. After all, the war was going well now, and Germany was also going well in Europe and Africa. If the United States had not entered the war, Germany might have launched the British invasion.

    "Damn American devils!" Ishihara cursed, and Wu Wei showed an imperceptible smile and said with a heavy face: "I have to admit that the navy's idea is correct. Use the islands in the Pacific to form a defense chain and fight for the empire.  It will take two or three years. Make full use of the resources obtained from Nanyang to arm the imperial soldiers. After that, the war in Europe may have ended. The American devils do not have the British Isles as a springboard, and it is impossible to land in Europe. By that time, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union will  If both sides suffer losses during the war, what else can we use to compete with the empire for hegemony!"
