Chapter 189 1935 Military Parade on

However, Ningji Okamura did not dare to face the former army minister and the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. Nanjiro knocked on the map with a baton and took it for granted: "Of course, there is also such a argument in the base camp, saying that we should eat the relatively backward China first and use the technology and industry of the resource empire of China. The foundation, strive to rule for 30 years, fight to the death with the Soviet Union!"

Nanjiro proudly looked around and said, "In fact, I prefer the latter's argument that China is not a country at the same strategic level as the empire. Eating China first will be at a very favorable strategic high point for the empire, but it is a pity that China has no oil and no rubber. The great strategy urgently needs important strategic materials. The empire's joint fleet needs a large amount of oil to exert its great power. However, oil is in the hands of Southeast Asian European countries. He can completely kill all the war potential of the empire by blocking the Strait of Malacca with oil and rubber. What a terrible thing. Love!" (Love!

In an uproar, Nanjiro clicked the hot river and Shanxi with a baton, and then clicked on Shanghai and said, "Fortunately, the empire has a strong navy, and the ultimate responsibility for solving the China problem will be borne by our glorious Kwantung army. If the empire mobilizes its fleet to blockade the coast of China, cut off its foreign aid channels, and organize big The regiment landed from Shanghai and directly inserted into Nanjing, the capital of China, while the main force of our Kwantung Army was divided into three ways. It attacked Zhang Xuewu's headquarters in Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan all the way, attacked Zhang Xueliang's headquarters of the Northeast Army in North China, attacked Shijiazhuang all the way through Beiping, and directly attacked Taiyuan in the hinterland of Shanxi, avoiding Xinkou, Niangziguan, etc. In the dangerous place of the West Road, the navy plans to transport two divisions from Qingdao to land, and the main force to complete the horizontal cut-off of Jinpu Road, echo the north-south attack with the Shanghai dispatch army, and destroy China in three to six months!"

In the midst of applause, Seishiro Itagaki frowned. Seishiro Itagaki, who started by speculation, is actually a strategic and tactical stable person. The implication is that he can do it himself, but others can't do it. Typically, he can take risks, but he can't see others take risks.

Nanjiro's ability to make such remarks at the meeting of senior officers of the Kwantung Army proves that in the country, the military headquarters and even the base camp, this kind of quick victory argument occupies the absolute peak, and is likely to represent the opinions of some senior generals in the staff headquarters, the base camp and even Emperor Hirohito!

After the meeting, Ningji Okamura and Seishiro Itagaki returned to the chief of staff's office on the third floor of the west building. Seishiro Itagaki, who looked very anxious, said as soon as he entered the room and said, "How can the commander-in-chief talk about the absolute strategic secrets of the empire in front of so many people? What if that person goes out to talk nonsense after drinking too much? At that time, some of us almost destroyed the Manchuria Incident.

Ningji Okamura smiled and said, "Maybe the secret in our view is not a real strategic secret at all!" The imperial guidelines for Manmo and Mongolia come from the political and military of Manchung, making it the lifeline of blood transfusion to the empire. Therefore, the Kwantung Hall was revoked, and all the generals and powers were given to the Kanto army. This is the trust and responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor!"

Seishiro Itagaki is still a little dissatisfied and said, "The responsibility of the empire is on our shoulders, and some high-ranking officials are not seeking to govern in their positions. The corpse has been in place for a long time. Your Excellency General Nanjiro, as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, how can he publish it publicly in front of so many people? What is the so-called strategic speech? How dangerous is this? This is equivalent to telling the enemy to prepare quickly! The war is about to begin, which is an extremely irresponsible speech and act.

Ningji Okamura took a meaningful look at Seishiro Itagaki and said, "Mr. Itagaki, this is not like you!" I remember that Ishihara Jun loves to scratch. Originally, the position of senior chief of staff of the Kwantung Army was left to him, but Ishihara Jun's prison scratching made some people in the military department very unhappy. It was not only that Ishihara Guaner had a so-called strategic vision, but also said that who was missing in the empire was still the same as before. Do you understand? At this time, it seems that we should say less. We can only do our best for what we can't control. This is the duty of the emperor who is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

Seishiro Itagaki was stunned by Ningji Okamura. He hesitated for a moment and said with shame: "Mr. Okamura's lesson is right. I was also in a hurry for a while. Before the empire entered the wartime system, it began to expand its army on such a large scale, which would worry more countries in the world and come to our opposite side. And I'm afraid that the economy of the empire will not support it for long. I'm afraid that two or three years is the limit.

Ningji Okamura was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't the commander-in-chief say it today? At the latest two to three years, a full-scale war will be launched against China. Rehe Xue Shame is just a gimmick of the military headquarters, the staff headquarters and the base camp. The real significance is probably to prevent the unification of China's military and political power, and try to give the Chinese people one before the Chinese political axe completes the completion of the reorganization plan of 60 German army. The second fierce blow can destroy the resistance of China's political axe under the premise of ensuring the inherent interests of Manchuria, so as to completely end the war in a very short time, and all of this depends on the progress at the beginning of the war. In fact, you and I know very well that the guys in the staff headquarters have. What is the goal-defined strategy? They are all guys who look at step by step. I'm afraid you ask him what to eat in the evening. He has to think about it for a while. Don't count on them too much!"

Seishiro Itagaki also sighed helplessly: "Since the Meiji Restoration, the emperor [***] has leaned towards the army on a large scale for the first time. If you don't seize this opportunity to win the greatest glory with the army, then the army's advantage in front of the navy will probably be lost, and they will be trampled on the top of their heads in the future. Some of the military department are too self-centered and too playful! The strategic implementation of the empire is related to the future fate of the empire.

Ningji Okamura handed a file from his desk to Seishiro Itagaki and said, "If the strategy is not enough, we will make up for it with tactics. When did we be so pessimistic and depressed? The empire has one of the world's most powerful navies and an invincible army. It is said that the imperial army is invincible! Take a look at this information! This is about the general list and troop deployment of weapons purchased by Zhang Xuewu from Germany, as well as the construction progress of four fortress cities in Chaoyang, Chifeng, Chengde and Zhangjiakou. The current Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan are not the time for our personnel to enter and exit freely before the war. In order to detect our main deployment, I We have lost dozens of secret agents and many powerful Manchurian colleagues!"

Seishiro Itagaki actually disapprove of what Ningji Okamura just said that "we will use tactics to make up for the lack of strategy". Idiots know that in addition to the economic, industrial foundation and war reserve potential, the most important thing is the national war. Slightly formulated, Seishiro Itagaki hasn't heard of strategic shortcomings that can be made up with tactics? Is this what the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army should say? Obviously, Ningji Okamura's words were perfunctory.

Obviously, Ningji Okamura is also an overall supporter of the mainland strategy. It seems that Rehe's failure has not really affected the Chief of Staff at all. Itagaki Seishiro feels more helpless about the action of selecting factions and people within the military, not the strategic policy.

In fact, the promotion of the Kwantung Army has shown Japan's determination to fight in the hinterland of China, because without the containment of Japan's political axe, the military seems to be more like a fish in water. A Manchurian Incident will almost become an international orphan, if it is not a mercenary American. I'm afraid that Japan's economy has always collapsed at this moment. A large number of loans from the United States allow Japan to use military industry to drive heavy industry, and can carry out public plunder from the Manchuria they concocted, so Japan can support the crazy expansion of such poor soldiers.

The continuous increase of troops in Manchuria has caused great international turmoil and panic, because at the same time, the new leaders of Germany, who have revived in Europe, are frantically shouting the slogan of revenge, which makes the British and French very worried. Under the guidance of the spirit of appeasement, Britain and France decided to attack the grumpy German friends. You made all concessions. After all, the Treaty of Versailles almost crushed Germany. The principle of avoiding war is to sacrifice the interests of others as much as possible.

As the country with the strongest industrial foundation and economic strength in the world, the United States has become a trend of isolationism. Making money without taking any international responsibility is the only consensus of American businessmen and politicians.

Time flies. Zhang Xuewu, who was in Rehe, sent a German expeditionary mission composed of as many as 2,000 officers and soldiers in May 1934. Subsequently, he sent more than 5,000 skilled workers, technicians and engineers from all walks of life to Germany to study. These personnel were all free of charge in Germany under the contract. Training, but only the round-trip fare also made Zhang Xuewu's heartache! In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army for a long time, Zhang Xuewu must pay attention to the storage of talents.

Hao Wenbin and Li Songtao almost lived in Germany and traveled to various places. Zhang Xuewu heard that even Hao Wenbin could even use simple German dialogue? This seems to be a big miracle. How far can Sino-German relations go? Zhang Xuewu has no luck at this moment, because Germany is also evaluating the so-called national value between Japan and China. If the Germans want to rise from Europe, they are bound to need a strong ally. Compared with Japan, China seems to be vulnerable?

What Zhang Xuewu can't understand most is whether he is a German or himself? Why do you have to look at the Soviets very radically? Is defeating the Soviets an epic glorious task that is difficult to accomplish in history?

With the support behind Zhou Ying, Zhang Xuewu's deliberately mobilized funds were finally abundant, but Zhang Xuewu, who was afraid of being poor, did not dare to spend a lot of money, but Zhang Xuewu would never be stingy with what he should buy. When a large number of enterprises took advantage of enterprises in the American financial crisis to go bankrupt, Zhang Xuewu used Shen Hanze's relationship to buy some factories in the United States, dismantle them and ship them back to Tianjin for transshipment, while the other part continues to operate, because once the war ignites again, there is no doubt that heavy industry, military industry and related industries will become a golden assembly line, and Americans are used to making war money! None of the shells in World War II in history fell on its homeland.

However, there are also things that are far beyond Zhang Xuewu's expectation, that is, Zhou Ying actually became a best friend with Shen Yilan with Shen Hanze's acquiescence? Zhang Xuewu also has a little inexplicable feeling that this is the one? However, the feeling for Zhang Xuewu is that Shen Hanze and Zhou Ying are almost the same nostrils? Is it possible that Zhou Ying is Shen Hanze's illegitimate daughter? Does the old man want to marry his two daughters? Zhang Xuewu found that he is becoming more and more enthusiastic and impulsive to gossip now?

However, he did not dare to ask Shen Hanze about this, because Shen Hanze needed to come forward to pave the way for subsequent contact with the Soviet Union and other aspects. After all, now Nanjing Zheng Axe has not officially broken with the German side, so the taboo about the Soviets is still quite deep. Before the signing of the Treaty of Non-Aggression between the Soviet Union, Zhang Xuewu There are also a lot of projects to cooperate with the Soviets.

Just in 1935, Zhang Xuewu heard a thunderbolt news, that is, three of the four armies of the Northeast Army were transferred to northern Shaanxi to continue to suppress the bandits?

Zhang Xuewu knew that Zhang Xueliang's greatest wish, who is now conservative and suffering, was to return to his hometown in Northeast China, but this wish was too dangerous for Zhang Xueliang. In particular, Wang Yizhe and Yu Xuezhong's subordinates were not stable. Standing at the top of the mountain customs, he could not counterattack back to his hometown. Northeast officers and soldiers The morale has been very low, and now it is going to be dragged to northern Shaanxi to fight the civil war. The officers and soldiers in Northeast China are even more reluctant. What they are most willing to do at this moment is to fight back to their hometown in Northeast China!

Zhang Xueliang's personal emotions and tendencies. Zhang Xuewu can't interfere. It can also be said that there is no way to say that Zhang Xueliang is also a person with his own opinions. He is fully responsible for the 200,000 generals and soldiers of the Northeast Army who become rootless. In addition, he is very embarrassed by the tightening of military expenses in Nanjing, even with Zhang Xuewu's Baotou military industry. When the factory subsidizes ordnance and ammunition, it is inevitable that there will be complaints or other ideas in the mind.

Zhang Xuewu also realized that history has indeed changed to a certain extent, but the main trajectory has not been greatly reversed. For example, although Zhang Xuewu expanded his army to purchase and produce weapons and ammunition, he expanded the domestic arsenal with the help of German Krup and Mauser Brothers. Large military factory, five 75mm Kryp L32 field gun production lines, annual output of more than 300, Czech ZB-26I improved light machine gun production line, honorary tank assembly workshop, cold-rolled alloy steel production line and so on!

However, the strength of the Japanese army is also being strengthened. The failure of Rehe made the Japanese army pay attention to the construction of armored combat vehicles. Although the quality and design are basically the same as in history, the number has changed greatly. Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion can be said to be not afraid of his own tank armored vehicles, but [***] other troops It won't work. The overall contrast between the two [***] facts is not even as good as that of history. This is also Zhang Xuewu's helplessness. The country has been weak for too long, and it can't be reversed overnight.

Just like the two automobile production lines purchased from the United States, the two-and-a-half-ton Ford truck is offline, which is very good in all aspects, but the domestic imitation engine does not pass. The same four-cylinder engine is 127 horsepower imported from the United States, while the domestic one is only eight. Seventeen horsepower, the huge difference makes Zhang Xuewu ashamed that he can only comfort himself or at least produce it. In contrast, the Calvins half-track car introduced by Germany is more adaptable to China's complex road conditions. A machine gun or a 37mm anti-tank gun is an armored vehicle, pulling and transporting ammunition and battlefield rescue is almost It can do everything, but its high cost and complex process precision assembly also make the engineers of Baotou No.1 Automobile Manufacturing Factory repeatedly entangled.

At the end of 1935, Kanto had reached the establishment of 37 divisions. Its commander, Nanjiro, held a special exercise of the Kwantung Army on an unprecedented scale. Hearing the news that the Kwantung Army had organized a large exercise, for a while, Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan, including Pingjin, people were panicked and prices soared. Many merchants were ready to withdraw their capital or dismiss personnel to sell goods on the spot. Naturally, Zhang Xuewu knew that someone inside must have secretly added fuel to the flames, but in the face of his arrogance, Zhang Xuewu immediately decided to organize a military parade of the Rehe Legion in Chengde.

It is said that I have revealed their background in the three northeastern provinces. Zhang Xuewu has been adhering to the spirit and principle of hiding the black hand at the critical moment before, but what is the secret of the arms he bought in Germany? The Japanese spy and Han anniaring lurking in the Nanjing Ministry of Military and Political Affairs may have sent the news back early. Due to the lack of materials in later generations, several famous latent secret agents and Han annia that Zhang Xuewu know are still deeply hidden at this moment. There is no evidence at all. The only way is to consider using a fixed-point removal method to reduce the future war of resistance. As for the loss of the full-scale outbreak, as for most of the hidden agents and Han Jun, Zhang Xuewu also doesn't know. After all, Zhang Xuewu is only a person, not a computer or a god of memory!

Zhang Xuewu took stock of his family background. Now he knows why Lao Mei in later generations quickly pulled out a little good things. It turned out that this was called a threat strategy.

There are five first divisions under the jurisdiction of the First Army of the Rehe Army of Zhang Xuewu. Each division has three brigades and two regiments in each brigade. The division has one 105mm howitzer regiment, equipped with 24 imitation German 105mm howitzers, one 75mm mountain artillery regiment, and 20 Krup L32 mountain cannons. Four, the brigade has jurisdiction over one 75mm artillery battalion, two artillery battalions, each with four artillery, and another heavy mortar battalion, equipped with 24 100-millimeter mortars.
