Chapter 2463: The last Japanese preparation

? Now both the cabinet and the parliament are asking the army to withdraw from the Russian Far East and returning the territories that the Japanese army has paid a heavy price to the Russians. This is simply an extremely short-sighted behavior. You should be very clear that the Germans do not intend to let Japan go, at least let us spit out the former German colonies, and our colonies in the former Dutch East Indies will also spit out a large chunk. . Although the war has not yet begun, we all know that in this war it is impossible for us to retreat all over the body, and the ultimate benefit of the empire will be in the Russian Far East. "The army's veteran Masaichi Temple is trying his best to persuade Xiyuanji Gongwang to represent the nine Tsinghua nobles in political circles to support the Japanese army's military operations in the Russian Far East.

Recently, the Japanese army has been mixed up very badly. Winter is approaching, the Siberia area has begun to freeze, and the Japanese army has also turned from offensive to defensive. More than 300,000 troops and logistic personnel rushed to a place very far away from the mainland. The cost was huge but they could not be saved. This situation has caused great dissatisfaction with the Japanese government and the private sector.

At this time, the Pacific direction, which the Japanese are most worried about, had problems again. Not long ago, the German government finally responded clearly to the request of the US government. In this statement, the German government emphasized the previous US-German agreement on the Pacific issue. It is still valid, and the German government will fulfill its previous promises to allies. That is, "Send effective military forces to help the U.S. government acquire a colony that should have belonged to the United States of America."

And on the second day after this statement was issued, four Bavarian-class battleships under the leadership of Admiral Su Xiong left the port of Kiel, the main base of the German High Seas Fleet, and embarked on a voyage to the United States. They will first arrive on the east coast of the United States, and after a month of adaptability training with the US fleet, they will enter the Pacific through the Panama Canal. And the final destination is Pearl Harbor! Obviously, the moment the German fleet arrived at Pearl Harbor was when the United States declared war on Japan!

When the enemy was under pressure, the country naturally asked the Japanese army to abandon the war against Russia, and then concentrate its forces on the Pacific region to help the navy defend the colonies that Japan had so hard to obtain during the war. This reason seems to be so sufficient, so grand-sounding, and it does make sense...

However, as the veteran of the Japanese Army, Masaichi Terauchi doesn't think so! In his mind, besides the U.S. Army that is about to be at war, the biggest enemy of the Japanese Army is the Japanese Navy! In terms of the degree of crisis, the Japanese Navy even ranks ahead of the Russians! After all, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army was able to defeat the Russian army under the condition of weak armaments, which allowed the Japanese to have a special sense of superiority when facing the Russians. Now, Tsarist Russia is finished. What kind of combat effectiveness does the current Russian army have? The previous smooth operation of the Japanese Army in Siberia also illustrates this point.

The idea of ​​letting the Japanese army move its main force to the Pacific region actually makes sense. After all, the upcoming offensive by the United States and Germany is the biggest crisis Japan will face, but Masaichi Terauchi does not think so. First of all, he feels that whether it is Japan invaded and occupied the former German colonies or captured most of the Dutch East Indies during the war. These were all things the Japanese navy did. At the beginning, the Japanese army did not support it, so good. Now the navy provokes things. What makes the Japanese army back?

Moreover, the battle in the Pacific region mainly depends on the navy and air force. What the Japanese army can do is to provide some labor and defend a few islands. Now the Japanese army has at least 500,000 troops in the Dutch East Indies. Isn’t that enough? If the Japanese navy is able to fight well, there will be nothing to do with the army. If the Japanese navy does not fight well, then the Japanese army will continue to increase its troops and it will only send some more heads.

And Masaichi Terauchi knows that the outcome of this war does not depend on whether Japan's military and national strength is strong. You can give strength and virtue, the two world's top super-industrial nations, to break your arms? Germany has even killed the Allied Powers. How much does it cost Japan to have Britain? It is foreseeable that no matter what kind of military force Japan deploys in Guinea, the final result will be affirmative, and it will definitely be captured in the end.

The outcome of Japan in this war depends on the game between the United States, Germany and other major powers. Therefore, Masaichi Temple once privately referred to this war as "a war that is destined to be lost." That being the case, why doesn't the Japanese Army continue to work hard to make up for losses in the south with the gains from the north in Siberia?

Of course, if all the magnificence were to be taken away, Masaichi Terauchi was really unwilling to work for the navy, because the Japanese army and navy had a long history of not dealing with it. Even in the second war in history, the occupied areas of the Japanese army and navy were managed separately. The coordination between them is also quite uncoordinated.

From a strategic perspective, the Japanese Army’s original strategy is to follow the Siberian line. In this way, the Army can have a greater say in the future national political environment. If it follows the Pacific Line, then the Japanese Navy has a say. Naturally bigger. In that case, why should the Japanese army contribute to the navy and then increase the other's voice? Isn't this finding yourself awkward? This is true for the Japanese Army, and it is quite logical!

But it is a pity that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ now the Japanese Navy controls the direction of the government and public opinion. There is no way. The incident of bribery and purchase of the navy did not completely kill the old fox, Gonbei Yamamoto, and now this guy is back again. So, the environment of the Japanese army is naturally passive. Seeing that the red deer of the navy are about to flick the army to the Pacific region to sacrifice their lives, can Masaichi Terauchi be in no hurry? So after thinking about it, Terauchi Masaichi could only ask Saiyuanji Gongwang, an evergreen tree in Japanese politics, to help, in order to restore some of the decline. At least Siberia can't give up.

However, letting Masaichi Temple persuade him, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple still sat there indifferently, except for the simple response necessary, seemingly indifferent to this matter. After a long time, when Zhengyi in the temple didn't know how to continue the topic, Gongwang of Xiyuanji spoke.

"Your Excellency does have some truth. I will help the Army in the future. But no matter what, in the face of government and civilian dissent, the Army has to make some expressions. It is of limited significance to continue to increase the Army's ground forces. Mobilize several aviation wing into the Pacific theater. Aircraft is always useful." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said calmly.
