    "Is this the topographic map of Taiping Island?" Katsutoshi Kono, chief of staff of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, looked at the electronic sand table in front of him and nodded slightly.  Japan¡¯s military functional organization, under the Prime Minister is the Minister of Defense, and below it is the Chief of Integrated Staff, ranking above the Chiefs of Staff of the Self-Defense Forces, Navy, Army and Air Force, which is equivalent to the Chief of Staff of the three armed forces.  In addition to the invisible bosses in the army, he is the nominal highest commander of the army.  After their defeat in World War II, the Japanese began to reflect on the shortcomings of the dualization of military power and military orders under the checks and balances of imperial power.  After World War II, the imperial power declined, the military suppressed, and the so-called land and sea checks and balances became a joke.  The Japanese need to integrate all forces to form a modern army that is a trinity of land, sea and air forces and can cooperate in operations to maintain national security.  With the passing of old-school soldiers and the impact of modern military thinking, the Japanese have eliminated some of the barriers between the army and the navy, gradually integrated the army, navy and air force, and established a team to integrate the staff and supervision departments.  This top commander is alternately held by the top officers of the Army, Navy and Air Force Self-Defense Forces.  The third Chief of Integrated Chief of Staff, Ryoichi Oreki, was an Army General, and the fourth Chief of Staff, Shigeru Iwasaki, was an Air Force General. So, as expected, this term fell to Admiral Katsutoshi Kono, who resigned as Chief of Staff of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.  .  If Japan wants to take advantage of the Taiping Kingdom this time and attack the Taiping Island, it must be a joint operation between the three armies.  If we talk about dealing with China and Russia, perhaps those military bosses who have retreated behind the scenes will come forward and come up with ideas.  However, the Japanese still looked down upon opponents like the Taiping Kingdom, and the power of command fell directly to the Integrated Staff and Supervision Department.  This will integrate the exercises of the three armed forces.  While Prime Minister Kahio Noda was still coordinating the cooperation of other units in the defense meeting, the Integrated Staff Supervision Department had already sorted out the overall plan for attacking the Taiping Kingdom.  "When you look at the entire Taiping Island from a high altitude, it looks slightly oval-shaped, long from north to south and short from east to west. The terrain is relatively regular, with the mountains mainly concentrated in the central mountains and the coastal mountains around the island." Second Class Airman Ueno Ryuichi kept saying  Pointing was given on the electronic virtual sand table, and relevant data and three-dimensional digital maps appeared instantly on the 3D projection screen next to it.  "The entire Taiping Island looks like an ancient Chinese city, but the city is slightly oval-shaped. The central mountainous area is like a circle of inner city walls, surrounding the inner Taiping Island. This mountainous area of ??more than 300 square kilometers is the most  The peak is Mountain No. 3. The altitude is about 1,234 meters, but the entire central area is high, with an average altitude of more than 300 meters. The entire terrain is not very steep, and there are many flat areas in the mountains. This area is also the key defense of the Taiping Kingdom.  The surrounding mountains along the coast are very similar to the outer city walls. There are mountains over 1,000 meters high in the east, west, and south, which are almost connected together by the continuous mountains that cover an area of ??more than 6,000 square kilometers.  ." Speaking of this, Ueno Ryuichi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.  Japan¡¯s second largest plain, the Ishikari Plain, is only about 4,000 square kilometers.  Taiping Island plus the nearly 1,000 square kilometers of coastal plains account for nearly 70% of the total number of plains.  "It's a pity that even if there is a plain on this island. Either the rocks are directly exposed or covered with sea mud, it is impossible to cultivate food!" When he was sitting around, one of his colleagues had chatted with him about the issue of this plain.  "Our satellites have determined that there is a lot of soil under the sea mud in some places on the island. Even the sea mud covering the surface can still grow crops." He does not think that such a plain is useless.  Japan has done some experiments on planting crops and cash crops in seabed sediment. Through continuous transformation, it is not a myth that the sea has turned into a mulberry field.  "But the Taiping King has announced that for the sake of the health of the people, these crops that have not undergone clinical trials cannot be used for people's diet for the time being. They can only grow cotton and other economic plants or green vegetation. Since the Taiping Kingdom can consider the people, can it be  Are we going to ignore the national food health?" His colleague once asked hesitantly.  Li Xiang does not want to import soil on a large scale again.  Even if it is to increase the green area in Taiping, a large amount of soil is needed, which cannot be solved by importing it alone.  When Li Xiang built the island, he deliberately laid a thick layer of soil on most of the island, which was completely superimposed thousands of times and became permanent.  Even in order to prevent the impact of non-permanent rocks on the human body, the last layer of modules attached to the surface of the entire Taiping Island is truly superimposed and permanent within 100 meters of the surface. Such accumulated groundwater  It also has little impact on the human body.  But even after tens of thousands of permanent superpositions, even though Zhutou repeatedly swore, even though he spent huge sums of money to compile laboratory data and supply experimental crops to Japan and other countries, Li Xiang still adopted a cautious attitude.  , it is not recommended to directly grow grain and vegetables.  At this timeThe world's grain trade volume is only 300 million tons per year. Even if the population of Taiping grows rapidly in three to five years, it is still only the size of a Chinese county. Even if the Taiping Island is full of people, this consumption is not enough for the world's huge trade.  In terms of quantity, it's not worth mentioning at all.  At most, the Taiping Kingdom should worry more about the lifeline on the sea.  This is also a future path determined by Li Xiang¡¯s influence on the people.  Only when the lifeline of the sea is easily blocked can the people be prepared for danger and become more aggressive, so as not to cultivate books and pass down family families on this isolated island and become closed and conservative.  ¡°As long as it¡¯s food, people will buy it! Among other things, mainland China has imported a lot of food recently. Even if it¡¯s not eaten, it can be used as feed.¡± In the end, his answer convinced his colleagues.  There is no need for him to persuade now, the people around are staring at the 3D virtual electronic map with greedy eyes.  "The Taiping people have also accumulated a large number of defensive positions in the surrounding mountains. The mountainous terrain here is not conducive to our attack. We have not yet explored the coastline. Landing hastily will simply lead to death!" Of course, some people are opposed to starting a war now.  Being unfamiliar with the terrain and surrounding environment is a taboo in war.  "We are not familiar with it, and the Taiping people are not familiar with it either. It has taken a long time. They are familiar with the environment faster than us, and they will build more fortifications. If you want to attack Taiping Island, it should be sooner rather than later!" But the Japanese senior officials  The final decision has been made, and this is also the mainstream voice in the Japanese military.  From the bottom of their hearts, the Japanese still despise the military strength of the Taiping Kingdom. Even if some intelligence collection is not detailed, they still believe that it can be decided in one battle.  "Even if the Taiping Kingdom has 100,000 troops, they will not be able to fight against us. The large number of fortifications deployed on the Central Mountains and the Ring Island Mountains cannot defend this plain. As long as our air assault regiment quickly raids this plain, we can completely cut them off.  Internal and external contact. Help our Marines land on the island smoothly," Nishimoto Yamagata, who is also a second-class commander, said disapprovingly.  As Japan¡¯s only rapid response force for airborne strikes.  The official designation of the 1st Airborne Regiment should be the 1st Airborne Brigade. Because of the island disputes with China and North and South Korea, especially the Chinese mainland, there are particularly many airborne island seizure exercises.  They had also rehearsed the operation to seize the original Taiping Island.  Even now facing a new big island.  We need to shift our focus here.  Even the General Branch Company of the Western Front is a special force targeting disputed islands in the East China Sea.  It is also mobilized from the west toward Minamitorishima.  After the Gulf War, people have understood that in modern warfare, numbers are no longer an important factor.  What's more, the Taiping Kingdom did not have a numerical advantage.  No one in Japan believed Li Xiang's call for 100,000 soldiers.  Although the two elite units of the First Air Support Regiment and the Sipu Company have less than 3,000 people in total, the Japanese are confident that they can gain an advantage in the early stages of the war by relying on this unit, especially in the case of sneak attacks.  The gambling nature of the Japanese made them believe that in the case of a sneak attack, their army could block ten or even a hundred, especially against a small country like Taiping.  "The Taiping Kingdom is not worthy of being called our opponent!" This is the thought of almost all Japanese soldiers. Few people really take the Taiping Kingdom seriously, just because this is the first time the Japanese have waged a war with a foreign country after the war.  We all had to pay attention, lest there was any omission, we were ready to use all our skills like a lion fighting a rabbit to decide the outcome in one round.  At present, they are eager to attack, but they are worried about lack of preparation. They despise the Taiping Kingdom in their bones, but they are cautious. They want to make a thunderous blow to flex their muscles to other countries and show the reappearance of the glory of the old empire, but they are also worried about exposing too much.  The strength has aroused the vigilance of Asian countries and even the suppression of Americans.  This action of the Japanese has been in contradiction from the beginning.  While they looked down on the Taiping Kingdom, they were even preparing to use sneak attacks, and the time was chosen during the Spring Festival.  ¡­ ¡­ The Spring Festival of 2017 is very early, and New Year¡¯s Eve is coming on January 27th.  Taiping Country adopted rotation as usual during the Spring Festival this year, but only one third of them went home to celebrate the New Year.  The Japanese¡¯s war readiness cannot be concealed from anyone.  Japanese warships and fighter planes are constantly dispatched to the Nantori Island base closest to the Taiping Kingdom. The arrival of a large number of materials and personnel has dispelled the deserted Nantori Island in the past.  High-level Japanese officials also frequently issued tough remarks in various media, accusing the Taiping Kingdom of not allowing the Japanese to land on the island for search operations. Some people even directly accused the Taiping Kingdom of planning the disappearance of Japanese submarines.  The tense atmosphere of war has permeated every inch of the air in Taiping before the Spring Festival. Many people did not expect that Li Xiang asked the officers and soldiers to go home for the New Year.  Although the understanding is not very comprehensive, the Japanese¡¯s initial plan to attack during the Spring Festival is?It was known to Li Xiang, but Li Xiang still made such a decision.  "God bless me in Yamato!" After the Japanese heard about it, they couldn't help but be ecstatic, thinking that the Taiping Kingdom would automatically reduce its troops and destroy the Great Wall.  "You need to be nervous to prepare for war, but you don't need to break your nerves!" Li Xiang smiled and said to the fat man who also complained about him.  During the step-by-step Westernization reform after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese had long abandoned the Spring Festival and celebrated New Year's Day.  They may not care, but the Chinese people attach great importance to the Spring Festival. Even if all the soldiers are forced to stay on the island, they cannot stop their homesickness and longing to go home.  On the contrary, it would be better to give the soldiers hope and hope.  "It is normal for us to react like this!" Lei Shi also explained, "This way the Japanese will think that we are unprepared, and then they can follow their so-called fireworks plan. Otherwise, the Japanese will see that we are prepared and keep changing our plans. We  You may not be so lucky to know it by chance. "Except for the deciphering team in Li Xiang's hands, no one else knew the origin of the Taiping Kingdom's information. Even Lei Shi could only attribute it to the Taiping Kingdom's luck and agreed to take advantage of it.  Luring the Japanese to attack.  The first batch of people to leave Taiping Island were only some non-combatants and some ordinary soldiers. The real elite troops of the Taiping Kingdom were already waiting for the Japanese to jump in.  The Japanese, who were completely unaware of all this, were waiting with confidence, waiting for the attack signal that would make their sneak attack more justified, and waiting for the last fig leaf to fall.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
