    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at these old comrades in front of him and said in an extremely serious tone: "This time I decided to launch an air raid on Japan. For us, it is just the beginning of gradually accumulating experience. All things and experiences need to be accumulated little by little.  We cannot expect to catch a fat man at once, let alone expect all our technical and tactical skills to be in place at once.¡±

    "This time is just a beginning. As for whether it will continue in the future, it still depends on our future development. But we must take this step, and this time the Japanese Army and Navy aviation forces are deployed to deal with the United States and Britain.  This is our only chance to achieve maximum results at the minimum cost in similar actions in the future.¡±

    "After the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force completes its operations against the United States and Britain and returns to the mainland or is transferred back to Northeast China, if we want to carry out similar operations again, the cost will probably be much higher. In terms of the Japanese's usual efficiency, we will take advantage of them  After accidentally stabbing them, if you wait for them to react and try to give them the same attack at a small price, I'm afraid they won't have another chance. "

    "Any army, or even a person's growth, has to pay a certain price. There is no good thing in this world that comes without hard work. Since this price has to be paid sooner or later, then why not take advantage of the Japanese people's current paralyzed mentality to use the smallest possible method?  The price we can afford at present is to exchange for the experience necessary for our growth. Comrades, this is a rare opportunity. "

    Of course, although Yang Zhen said what he said sincerely, he did not say everything in his heart. He insisted on this air strike in order to allow the Americans to send all the air strikes in the future, at least before they regained the Mariana Islands.  The bases for air raids against Japan were all placed within the Anti-League base areas.

    Only in this way can the Anti-Japanese Alliance turn passivity into initiative, and use this rare opportunity to take advantage of the Americans' eagerness for revenge and the idea of ??weakening Japan's war potential, forcing the Americans to proactively provide the latest navigation, air defense, long-distance communications, and electronic warfare.  and related technology and equipment for large long-range bombers.

    Otherwise, the Americans would never provide these technologies and equipment to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. During World War II, although the United States provided the Soviets with a large number of combat aircraft, they did not provide a single B-71 strategic bomber.  , this kind of treatment is given to the Soviets, let alone the Chinese.

    In the agreement signed by the United States and Britain with the Anti-Resistance Alliance, although the United States and Britain agreed to provide some combat aircraft, they did not make any provisions regarding the types and performance of the aircraft. If the United States and Britain insisted on providing only tactical aircraft, the Anti-Japanese War would  Lian was helpless.

    The initiative is in other people's hands. Whether it is given to you and what kind of aircraft is given to you is still decided by others. Moreover, strategic bombers are a powerful weapon of a great power. Not to mention that the United States and Britain are only temporarily standing together out of the same interests.  It's just a temporary ally, and no one else would be able to provide it easily. If it were Yang Zhen himself, he would probably do even better.

    If you want to obtain the weapon of a great power in the hands of the United States and Britain and give your aviation the means of strategic attack, if you don't take some measures and just wait passively, for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, you will be giving up the initiative to others and you will not be able to do so.  Go and fight for it, and someone will fight for you.

    Americans, who have a strong aviation industry, are not unable to do it themselves. If others want to abandon you, there will be no obstacles. With the strength of the Americans, air strikes on the Japanese mainland will not be carried out for one or two years at night.  The entire strategic situation will not have a decisive impact, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance cannot afford to wait for these two years.

    And if the Anti-Japanese Alliance carried out a symbolic air strike on the Japanese mainland after the Pearl Harbor Incident, the Japanese, who were trying to make up for the situation, would definitely strengthen their air defense against the mainland. In this way, if the American general used an aircraft carrier to take off medium-range bombers a few months later,  If the air strikes against the Japanese mainland are not changed, I am afraid it will face a devastating blow.

    Only in this way can they be forced little by little. The Americans correctly understand the advantageous position of the Anti-Alliance North Manchurian base area in the war against Japan, and place air strikes on Japanese bases among the Anti-Alliance base areas.  The placement of the base for the Americans' air raids against Japan within the base areas of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was all the prerequisite for achieving their ultimate goal.

    The tactic of luring a snake out of its hole can be used not only against your own enemies, but also against the three allies with ulterior motives around you when necessary. Taking the initiative to attack can gain more benefits than waiting passively, regardless of the means.  Brilliant or not, the result is what matters.

    After talking about his starting point for insisting on air strikes against Japan, Yang Zhen paused and walked to the large Japanese civilian map hanging on the wall of the conference room, pointed at the map and said: "The reason why I targeted Tokyo for the first air strike is because  The biggest reason is the psychological impact on the Japanese people.¡±

    ? ???We have a limited number of bombers, and we do not have the ability to invest hundreds or even thousands of bombers at once like the British. Compared with Japanese cities that are mainly made of wooden buildings, cities that are mainly made of reinforced concrete buildings  Large factories are very difficult to destroy.  "

    "Our strength is limited, and the performance of the bombers is not very good. The Il-4 bombers in our hands, which take off from our base in North Manchuria, have almost reached the maximum combat radius to the Japanese mainland. Based on the current flight range, they can reach the Japanese mainland at most  No bombs exceeding 750 kilograms can be carried."

    "Even if we dispatch a hundred bombers, the number of bombs dropped at one time will be limited. For a bomb of more than 70 tons, the accuracy and bombing deviation must be calculated, for a large factory covered with reinforced concrete  It¡¯s almost negligible.¡±

    "Rather than resorting to circumventing the problem, it is better to use the characteristics of Japanese wooden buildings to give their cities a fire. Japanese industry, in addition to chemistry and metallurgy, has many factories that produce strategic materials.  , all are family workshops, concentrated in large and small cities. "

    "Some of their large equipment such as tanks, artillery, and aircraft are produced in large factories, but some small parts are produced in a large number of family-style factories. These necessary parts are small, but without these parts  Their planes and tanks are also unable to move."

    "Since our current air strikes against Japan are limited, it is difficult to bring devastating blows to major military industrial bases, and cannot fundamentally weaken Japan's war potential, then we choose to give the Japanese the greatest blow psychologically.  Let them know what the suffering of war is, and let them taste the different dividends of war.¡±

    "At the same time, we use incendiary bombs to ignite Japanese cities, which can not only give them a serious psychological blow, but also destroy their family-style factories that are all over the city. Without small, but  Key parts and components and their weapons and equipment cannot be put into use. The most important thing is to force the Japanese to evacuate the factories originally concentrated in the cities to the countryside. "

    "For the Japanese, this is a waste of energy and resources. We are taking another method to weaken Japan's industrial production capacity. At least during the transfer process, all their production must be stopped, and at the same time,  Mobilize a lot of resources to ensure that this migration goes smoothly.¡±

    "Comrades, you don't have to hit people at key parts. We can cut off their capillaries one by one and slowly bleed them. Although the amount of blood bleeding at one time is insignificant, it will accumulate over time.  Their lives.¡±

    "Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the center of Japan's politics, economy, culture and education. The emperor who lives there is a god to the Japanese. If Tokyo is attacked by air raids, the psychological and morale of the Japanese will be severely affected.  It would be quite fatal."

    "The most critical point is that Tokyo is Japan's science and technology center. A large number of weapons R&D institutions and higher education institutions are concentrated here. Compared with air strikes on their arsenals and destroying their R&D institutions, it is a greater threat to their military production capabilities.  Big, this is the most fundamental reason why I insist on setting the target of our first air strike on Japan."

    "In addition, it is precisely because Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the most heavily defended place in Japan in the eyes of almost everyone that I decided to complete our transformation from defense to offense starting from Tokyo. Surprise is not only used by ground troops.  tactics."

    "We burn Tokyo not only to destroy the essence of their politics, economy, education, and scientific research, but also to completely destroy the confidence of their people. We want those Japanese to know what it means to play with fire and self-immolation, and to know that China  When people are forced into a corner, they will also bar their fangs and stretch out their sharp claws.¡±

    This time Yang Zhen still did not tell the whole story, but only explained the reasons that could be said. He decided to bomb Tokyo. The reasons were definitely not what they seemed on the surface. If it were just like this, then he would not focus on the bombing.  Tokyo Imperial University, Japan, will focus its bombing on Tokyo's industrial areas.

    Yang Zhen has always believed that no matter how many reasons there were for Japan to recover in a short period of time after World War II, there was only one most fundamental reason, and that was the scientific and technological talents he cultivated in the decades before the station. During World War II,  Basically no losses were suffered and almost completely preserved. This is the most fundamental reason for the Japanese economy to recover in a short period of time.

    "Compared to the extremely difficult industrialization process of the Chinese later, the Japanese economy recovered and took off rapidly in a short period of time, except for someIn addition to political reasons and the blockade of technology and equipment in developed countries, it is more based on the basis of economic and industrial talents.

    Military victory cannot completely destroy a country. Even if a country is completely razed to the ground during a war, as long as its talents remain, the country can still recover in a short period of time. After World War II  West Germany and Japan are all such countries.

    If you want to completely destroy a country, military means alone cannot solve it. The most effective method is to completely destroy its cultural inheritance and cleanse its talent base. Among them, in addition to so-called nobles, lawyers, doctors, senior officials, etc.  In addition to the elite class, scientific talents such as professors and lecturers are the most critical.

    After occupying East Poland, the Soviets went on a killing spree, killing tens of thousands of Polish officers and so-called elites. The Germans had this idea in mind when they put a large number of Polish scientists, engineers, lawyers, and doctors into concentration camps and gas chambers.

    Of course, this kind of thing, let alone the Anti-Japanese Alliance has not yet occupied the Japanese mainland, even if it occupied Yang Zhen, it could not do it like Su De did. Since it cannot be done on the ground, then use bombers to wipe out these Japanese post-war revival from the air.  hope has become a matter of course,
