Volume 1: The Arms Dealer¡¯s Feast Chapter 178: Women and Clothes

    The establishment of tank divisions and mechanized divisions has been discussed for a long time since military advisers came to Berlin.

    A tank division can have more than a thousand tanks, but this is too expensive. Not counting the fuel consumption for training, buying a tank from Nanyang Military Industry at a reasonable price costs more than 20 million yuan. Besides, who can command such expensive equipment?  Instead of doing this, it would be better to give each regular army a directly affiliated tank regiment and equip the reorganized division with a tank battalion.

    ?? Mechanized divisions don¡¯t need so many tanks. A mechanized division only needs more than 300 tanks and more than 1,000 cars. The cost is much smaller, but the biggest problem is the passage of cars.

    It can¡¯t be said that there were no domestic roads in the 1930s. Generally speaking, the loess roadbed was rammed and paved with fine gravel and then it was tamped down and it was considered a road (the China-Myanmar Highway is a gunshot).  Even such earth-rock roads are not available all over the country, so the passing rate of cars can be imagined.

    As for cement roads, hehe, the little cement produced in the 1930s and the imported cement were not enough to pave the roads in first- and second-level cities.  As for asphalt roads, dear, remember that we are a big, oil-poor country.

    In addition to natural asphalt, asphalt is a by-product of petroleum refining. The refining center in Jinbatian also produces asphalt and sells it very cheaply. However, this production and sales volume is still a drop in the bucket for the national highway construction plan.  The little devil is always looking at this railway line and preparing to attack it for the convenience of transporting troops. Cars can always have an off-road feel when driven on this kind of road.

    Therefore, the mechanized division plan has also been shelved. Although it has been proposed from time to time, what needs to be solved first is the hundreds of thousands of kilometers of domestic first, second, and third-level road networks waiting for repair and construction. The cost of this is comparable to that of building some mechanized tank divisions.  Teachers are much more expensive.  The railway network can be built because railway passenger and freight transportation is profitable. At this time, there is no concept of highway toll stations, so no one cares about highway construction. Rich people can repair the roads and bridges in their hometowns, which will benefit the countryside.

    But the ability of the tracked armored vehicles in front of them is much stronger than that of cars. Like light tanks, high slopes of more than 30 degrees, shallower rivers and even trenches cannot stop their progress.  When Minister Song saw this tracked armored vehicle, the first thing he thought of was the mechanized division.

    According to a German consultant, the speed and combat effectiveness of this mechanized division are far beyond that of three or five infantry divisions. Peiping, which has twice used tank clusters to fight, naturally agrees with this view.  Of course, with so many troops in the country, it is impossible to build all mechanized divisions. The fuel consumption of hundreds of mechanized divisions for training and combat is astronomical, which can directly drain the country's finances.

    "However, no matter how poor you are, you can't afford the Tax Police Corps and several teams known as the Royal Forest Army (the First Army of the Teaching Corps, the Seventy-first Army, the Seventeenth Army).  Countries still have the money to build and maintain a few mechanized divisions.

    Peking Military and Administrative Department

    The Seventeenth Army, which had been waiting for the frontline, sent a message to defeat the Japanese invaders Itagaki Shiro's troops. Minister Song stood up excitedly and handed the message to the following: "Transfer to Nanjing, the Seventeenth Army outside Jining, with the cooperation of the air force and tanks, defeated the enemy.  The army Itagaki conquered Shiro's tribe and killed countless enemies. Now the results are being counted."

    After receiving the news, Nanjing sent the message to news agencies and newspapers across the country.  This was another great victory for the Central Army, and the number of enemies annihilated was temporarily set at 50,000.

    Seishiro Itagaki would have cursed him if he knew about it, because he promptly issued the order to withdraw the troops after receiving the interception of the Air Force. The losses of the troops were not that great at all. The four second-class divisions, including missing and dead, only lost more than 30,000 people.  People, where did the 50,000 people come from to be killed by the 17th Army?

    Itagaki Seishiro forgot to have the word "called", since Cao Cao's more than 200,000 troops can be called a million-strong army.  (Cao Cao lies down with his gun) That said, more than 30,000 enemies were wiped out, and the reported figure of 50,000 is a very accurate figure.

    Only the death and disappearance of more than 30,000 people was enough to hide this upstart in the military. Seishiro Itagaki was removed from the position of division commander by the base camp and became a lieutenant general and deputy chief of staff in the staff department.

    The reorganized Second and Fourth Divisions almost reached the outskirts of Hohhot before withdrawing their troops.  But in the newspaper news the next day, both sides began to report their own great victory outside Jining. The domestic side was better off, since they clearly won, so it was reasonable to report more results.

    The Japanese reported a great victory, in addition to annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, they also captured thousands of prisoners. They also pointed out that Jining City was still fighting (this is correct) and pointed out that the Central Army did not capture prisoners at all. How could they annihilate tens of thousands of enemies - in fact  These two Asian countries do not have the habit of keeping prisoners on the battlefield during a battle. All the troops in the Central Army already knew that the Japs would not surrender, and the injured would often fire grenades and die together, so after suffering several losses  Be very careful when cleaning the battlefield, and be sure to hit the chest and head with a gun before you feel safe.

    The prisoners captured by the Japanese came from various sources - generally speaking, they were from Jin and Sui?Composed of the small northwest army and civilians, these prisoners were originally used by the little devils when they were preparing for the news war. They were thrown out after the defeat in the Jining Battle.

    What was obviously a big defeat was turned into a big victory by the Japanese at home. The reason is that the Japanese newspaper was no longer the newspaper in 1933 that dared to report the biggest defeat since the Meiji War outside the Great Wall.  The news control in the Japanese family in the past two years is no joke. Not to mention newspaper news, even letters written by soldiers to their families must be read one by one by the special high school before they can be sent out.

    In this high-pressure environment, people who have doubts dare not speak out and ask - whether the truth is more important or life is more important is an issue that is always worthy of discussion. As for the parties involved, naturally they have been issued a silence order.  What do those people who live far away on the island know? It¡¯s not just what is advertised in newspapers. Back then, news from an island country did not even copy the national football scores and results of the Olympic Games when they were sent back to China (Britain¡¯s lies)  ).

    The devils also know that if they can hide something for a while, they will not be able to conceal it forever, and sooner or later the secret will be exposed, but before that, they still have to conceal what should be concealed - at most, when they can't conceal it, they can just grab a few small fish and pull them out and use their bellies to apologize.  Since ancient times, morale can be boosted but not vented, and the little devil knows the principle of working hard at one go.

    The central government unanimously regarded the little devil¡¯s behavior of slapping him in the face and pretending to be fat.  There is no other good explanation other than this.  But for the Nanjing Central Committee, winning is the most important thing. It is not that difficult to find thousands of Japanese-speaking prisoners in China.

    After winning the battle on the front line, Jin Batian went home happily. When he got to the study at home, he also included the casualties of the little Japanese in his notes. He looked through his notes and calculated how many of the little Japanese had been killed since the Battle of Rehe.  More than 400,000 people were killed, which is equivalent to the results of eight years in the previous life.  But the total number of little devils is not large at all - this time the first batch of little devils is preparing to mobilize five million people.

    Jin Batian vaguely remembered that in his time and space, the three superpowers sent troops (our population and territory are also considered superpowers) to surrender the Japs. In this time and space, let alone the three superpowers who sent troops to the Japs together, it would be better if they did not send troops to themselves.  Yes.  Thinking about it, we still have to kill more than ten times as many imps as this. It is indeed a long way to go.

    After taking notes, Jin Batian sighed and put down his pen.

    Xiaozhu entered the study and said, "Sir, Miss Qianqian is here to see you."

    "Bring it in." Now that Jin Batian remembered that Sissi, the concubine, had come to send a message, and then Sissi came to visitJin Batian said that this was much more boring than going to the teahouse, but there was no guarantee that there would be a few people in the teahouse.  He is a moral saint critic or something. The teahouse owner said it was very difficult to have such a patron. Neither party can afford to offend him - Needless to say, Jin Batian, the moral saint over there is already 80 years old. What do you want Jin Batian to do -  -Jin Batian doesn't take any advantage of him when he speaks.

    When Sissi came in, Jin Batian saw Sissi still wearing clothes and said angrily: "What are you wearing when you get home? Take them off." (What kind of house rules are you talking about?)

    Hearing this, Qian Qian started to unbutton her clothes, and Jin Batian also started to unbutton them. While doing so, he said, "This person came here naked and left naked. I don't know who wants to make the clothes. It's troublesome."

    "It should be to keep out the cold at first," Sissi said.

    "I know." Jin Batian thought about it. In this era, many ethnic groups living near the equator really didn't wear clothes.  Then I thought about how hot it is all year round at the equator, so I decided not to move.
