    Although Tanaka Yiichi knew that the Navy Ministry controlled by Kato Yusaburo would not pay attention to the requests of the Army.  He will never cooperate with Tanaka Yiichi.  This was a matter of position and had nothing to do with fighter planes. However, when he opened the memorandum from the Navy Department, especially the assessment of the war in the Republic of China and the requirements for the size of the fleet, he still took a breath of air.  "This damn bastard!" It's not that Tanaka Giichi is rude, but that Kato Yusaburo did too much.  When will Japan launch a military war with the Republic of China, and the navy will need to take out all the treasures at the bottom of the box?  What is the Japanese Navy¡¯s most treasured treasure?  Isn¡¯t it the Nagato number?  When the Japanese Navy did not have two heavyweight battleships of the Nagato class, it was mainly constrained by the lack of domestic experience in building large ships and could only imitate the technology of British warships.  But after the Nagato, Japan has solved a series of problems in warship construction, from its own design, communication equipment, to the completion of optical fire control systems, as well as the manufacturing of large-caliber naval guns. The Japanese Navy truly has  independent of the technological reserves of other countries.  From this day on, the Japanese Navy no longer claims that it is a first-class navy, but the first in the world, secretly of course.  Why it is called the best in the world is because the Nagato class is one level more powerful than the British and American battleships of the same period.  And why do you have to shout secretly?  The Japanese feel a little guilty because of many parameters. For example, the tonnage exceeds the maximum value of the "Washington Naval Treaty", and the speed of the ship is 15% faster than the Nelson class and Colorado class. This sneaky practice of holding back big moves is deliberately concealed by the Japanese Navy.  Under such circumstances, it has become a status quo where the people do not take action and officials do not investigate.  In other words, the tonnage of the Nagato that exceeds the naval terms can only make the Japanese secretly happy. The domestically built class warships are the most powerful warships on the earth and will not be held accountable.  This is the same as a man cheating on someone. If the wife doesn't know about it, it's called "sexual hunting." Once the wife knows about it, it's like sparks hitting the earth.  The same is true for the Japanese Navy. Given the size and draft of the Nagato, as long as the Japanese are not stupid enough to show off the most powerful warship on earth, it will not make the British jealous or even resentful.  In terms of warship manufacturing, Britain is Japan's master. As long as an ordinary mid-level naval commander of the British fleet observes the Nagato at close range for a while, he can roughly estimate the tonnage of this warship.  This is not a few hundred tons, and it is unimpressive for a battleship.  This is four to five thousand tons, which is almost as large as a medium-sized cruiser. In the eyes of navy people, it is more obvious than a woman carrying a child in her belly. Can you not see it?  Therefore, when Tanaka Giichi saw that the main warship that needed to take the initiative in the report was the Nagato, he cursed angrily, and secretly hated Tomosaburo Kato for his shamelessness.  The Nagato cannot participate in the war because it will arouse the anger of the British and even the Americans. Is it possible to convene another naval meeting to demolish the Nagato under the joint pressure of the United States and Britain?  The two Nagato-class battleships, Nagato and Oku-6, are like an outer room where the Japanese live outside.  The Japanese like it very much, but they just don't dare to use it now.  This is a fact that not only the Japanese Navy, but also the top brass of the Army know.  When Kato Tomosaburo said that only Nagato-level warriors participating in the war could ensure escort and maritime fire support, Tanaka Giichi couldn't help but slammed the report in his hand on the coffee table, and asked Matsuoka Yosuke with a dark face:  "Besides this report, does the Navy Department have anything weird to say?" "This" "Don't hesitate, I can say anything here, and no one will pursue it!" Tanaka Yiichi's eyes are much whiter.  , a young man in black, with anger simmering in his chest, which was clearly reflected on his face, as if he was about to kick his legs and burp.  Matsuoka Yosuke had no choice but to continue: "Some generals of the Navy do not trust the joint operations of the 6th Army and the Navy. They mainly pointed out that the number of the 6th Navy Team is insufficient and cannot carry out large-scale landing operations on the 6th. At the end of the report, there is also  There is a proposal to be submitted to the cabinet to expand the size of the 6th Marine Corps and the aviation force" "Kato" For Giichi Tanaka, who was born in the 6th Army, Tomosaburo Kato, a political enemy, was too much. He not only questioned the capabilities of the 6th Army, but also  He also stated the reason why the navy could not participate in the war.  In addition, I also want to take this opportunity to ask for military expenditures for the navy.  The 6th Marine Corps, this service has been around for more than a hundred years. The largest one may be the 6th Marine Corps of the United States, but the number of personnel is not too large.  Kato Yusaburo's approach is to expand the 6th Marine Corps to a force of more than 100,000 people, or even about ten divisions. Coupled with the investment of the Air Force, the Navy suddenly has more than a dozen divisions.Without the regiment's ground combat arms, Japan will not develop the army.  Just let the Navy do everything. Anyway, the Navy has all branches.  This method of completely beating the Army to death with one stick, not to mention Tanaka Giichi, even Matsuoka Yoyo felt it was a bit excessive.  The navy's approach has been to deny the military a way to survive. But from the standpoint of the Japanese navy, ocean hegemony is just around the corner. However, if Japan wants to become a continental hegemon, it still has a long way to go, and the possibility of failure is also very high.  big.  At the same time, as an island country, Japan's mainland military defense needs are not large. Twenty divisions are enough, ten divisions are also feasible, and even five divisions do not seem to be too few.  Overseas, Japan¡¯s colonial achievements in Korea have begun to bear fruit, and a single garrison division can effectively control the Korean Peninsula.  The only threat is Soviet Russia from the north.  This is the line of defense that consumes the largest strength of the Japanese Army.  Different from its Asian opponents, Soviet Russia has an instinctive awe for Japan, especially the army, because all the tactics used by the opponent, the intensity of the war, and the coverage of firepower are the best in the world and the first-class army in Europe.  military standards.  As for the Japanese Army they never say how good they are. It is estimated that even the proudest officers of the Japanese Army are not sure. Is the current Japanese Army considered second-rate in Europe?  Or third rate?  Therefore, not only the navy wants to build large warships, but the military expenditure of the Japanese military has increased year after year. The purpose is to upgrade the equipment of the Japanese military and complete the modernization of the military.  This is all money. If it were in the United States, it would be made in one word.  How much can such a small number of people spend?  If no one in Britain and the colonies collected an extra dollar in tax, it would be an astronomical sum.  But what Japan controls the most over the population isthe stick.  The Bangzi of the 1920s were so poor that they did not even have the confidence to raise taxes.  The 6th Army wants to line up in front of the Navy. This is a gasser and is not allowed.  ¡°Besides, Kato¡¯s cabinet is about to be formed, and Kato¡¯s brother-in-law and an important leader in Japanese diplomacy, Shigehara Kijuro, has already led a team to Shanghai.  Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the navy to support the army in launching a war against the Republic of China.  Any reason is an excuse for the army to give up the war.  Moreover, with the lessons learned from the past, it is no longer realistic for the Army to get approval from the cabinet and then send troops.  After all, the Far East intervened in Russia. Japan sent hundreds of thousands of troops and spent nearly one billion in military expenditures. Mao did not get a single cent. In the short term, the Japanese Army had no chance of gaining a say in the country.  Because in terms of importance, sending troops to the Republic of China is obviously not as important as the formation of the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet, and these investments are a turning point for the Japanese Navy and even Japan's overall military strength.  It is much more important than obtaining the right to garrison Qingdao.  Once the war breaks out or even escalates, it is unknown whether Japan's finances can still support the expansion of the navy.  The reason why the early Haobaba shipbuilding plan ran aground was because of the shortage of funds.  From this point of view, Kato, a naval marshal with a noble background, still took into account the face of the Army.  As for whether Tanaka Yiichi appreciates it or not, that¡¯s two people¡¯s guess.  In the Republic of China, it was like the calm before the storm, but the depressing atmosphere was like dark clouds overhead, making people feel heavy.  None of the northern forces in the Republic of China were willing to participate in the diplomatic negotiations between the Republic of China and Britain. Even Cao Kun was helplessly involved.  But in the south, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Unlike other opponents of the "Kuomintang", Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang Army, and even areas such as Fujian and Zhejiang, pay more attention to propaganda than the "Kuomintang".  Newspapers and publicity teams in various places are standard equipment.  If it weren't for the high cost of installing large speakers, Wang Xueqian even thought of the idea of ??'every village has a large loudspeaker radio station'. If such an artifact as a large loudspeaker appeared at the village entrance, then who else could be so closed-minded in the Republic of China?  The information environment poses a threat to Wang Xueqian's control in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?  Although it is unrealistic to connect every village, the technology of cable broadcasting is not difficult. Ningbo, Hangzhou, and even Shanghai are already in the investigation stage.  If it were really implemented, it would take less than a year for this noisy magic to become the undisputed overlord in the propaganda field of the Republic of China.  People have no choice but to listen if they don¡¯t want to. Their ears are not allowed to rest for a moment, and it is not impossible that their brains will be washed into tofu dregs in a few months.  Compared with the Provisional Government in Guangzhou, the problems in this area are huge.  Parliament is the last resort for the Kuomintang to challenge the Beiyang military government. It is impossible for the Kuomintang to say one thing and do another. Mr. Sun Da felt the troubles of Yuan Shikai back then. These blind bastards, one by one,  The congressman who talks useless things all day long and makes people feel uncomfortable has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the interim government.  If you want to get rid of it, you are slapping yourself in the face.  By then, public opinion will be like Sun Da¡¯sStudents engage in dictatorship.  He scolded Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang, and Duan Qirui for being dictatorial.  But when I really want to be in power, I realize that dictatorship is really good!  This made Mr. Sun Da very sad. Why did the trees that grew well in the United States grow crooked when they were planted in the Republic of China?  ¡°And within the provisional government, the members of the parliament are all representatives of the Guangzhou business group. These people are the source of military expenditure that Mr. Sun Da relies on. They are people who do not want to offend but cannot afford to offend.  Unlike Wang Xueqian, Zhejiang¡¯s parliament makes suggestions and makes changes if something is not done well.  The decision-making power lies with the government, or in other words, with Wang Xueqian.  To put it bluntly, the highly centralized political power left Zhejiang without any opposition voices in the short term. Wang Xueqian¡¯s ideas were based on prior experience, and there were many successful cases.  As Zhejiang's economy improved, opposition voices were immediately suppressed.  After a year or two, Zhejiang locals no longer questioned whether Wang Xueqian's decision was correct. They only considered one question, how to implement it?  "But Guangzhou is different. Mr. Sun Da wants to expand the army, but the Chamber of Commerce and the Parliament don't agree because of taxation.  Mr. Sun Da wants to fight against the old Guangxi clique and seize all the territory in Guangdong, but the Chamber of Commerce and the Parliament do not agree because they still need to collect taxes.  ¡°This is all about cutting the flesh of businessmen, it¡¯s a damn thing if they can get support.  The nature of a businessman was fully demonstrated at this moment. Sometimes Mr. Sun Da also wondered why Wang Xueqian relied on the support of the Chamber of Commerce to control the place, and he didn't have these worries of his own?  If Mr. Sun Da asks for advice humbly, maybe Wang Xueqian will tell him the truth when he is in a good mood.     publicity.  ¡°The propaganda in Guangzhou is too confusing. Some promote the labor movement, some promote the peasant movement, and some express dissatisfaction with society Anyway, all walks of life have organized their own propaganda methods.  It was very lively, but looking back, it seemed that people were dissatisfied.  But Zhejiang is different. Wang Xueqian only has one request for publicity, and he talks overwhelmingly around one purpose.  The newspapers say it, the streets say it, and there is government supervision. It is strong and intensive, so we are not afraid that people will not change their minds.  ¡°The publicity cannot keep up, and coupled with local limitations, Mr. Sun Da suddenly discovered recently that he seems to be replaced by Wang Xueqian.  Mr. Sun Da, who was very popular in the Republic of China, soon discovered that not many young people, especially educated young people, came to Guangdong.  The enrollment situation in military academies is also not ideal.  The reason is very simple, Wang Xueqian is so awesome!  Even the British fleet was about to surrender. Is there anyone in the Republic of China who would be more invigorated than mentioning his name?  ¡°In addition, Shanghai and Zhejiang are already prosperous places, and their development foundation is much better than other places in the Republic of China.  Especially the development of Zhejiang in recent years has given hope to the progressive youth of the Republic of China. This is an example of a strong country and strong army.     Guangzhou?  It's not even bad at all.  Many people who originally planned to change their route from Shanghai to Guangzhou stopped in Shanghai. After a trip to Zhejiang, they decided to stay.  If a political organization wants to develop, reputation is the first priority. Only with reputation can it attract talents, and the "Kuomintang" gives people a feeling that the sun is setting.  Even if the slogans are loud and loud, it is an indisputable fact that Guangzhou city is becoming more and more dilapidated, right?  Although the streets of Guangzhou are still prosperous, various parades shout slogans on the streets every day.  But for Mr. Sun Da, the fact that the "Kuomintang" is in decline has already emerged.  Just like Kang Youwei back then, even though he fled overseas after the Hundred Days Reform, his reputation reached the peak of his life and he became the spiritual leader of China's progressive people at that time.  But the appearance of the Tongmenghui completely knocked Kang Youwei off the altar.  Mr. Sun Da back then was disdainful and would not consider Kang Youwei's feelings, but at this moment, he felt the coldness coming from the bottom of his heart.  (To be continued.) 8
