Beiyang reactionaries

Recently, the Korean Independence Army has successively destroyed mining farms, and a large number of mine workers have joined the Korean Independence Army, which has rapidly increased the number of the Korean Independence Army.And there are some resistance forces all over the Korean peninsula, and the total number of them is quite a lot.But this number is far from enough to compete with the Japanese.

Duan Xun needs North Korea's resistance forces to continue to increase.

As long as the Korean Independence Army can pull out enough troops, Duan Xun will provide them with enough weapons.Even as long as they need it, the cannon can provide it.

Duan Xun hopes that the Japanese army and the Korean Independence Army will fight on the Korean Peninsula for several years.Therefore, Duan Xun is going to severely attack Japan's military power on the Korean Peninsula, and give the Korean Independence Army a space and opportunity for development before Japanese reinforcements come to the Korean Peninsula.

"Prime Minister, what's next?"

Dai Kan's face was serious.

China finally had two years of peace to carry out construction.Although there are many problems, the plan made is constantly being revised because of too many difficulties encountered.

However, in the past two years, the construction has achieved great results, and China's economic situation has improved greatly.Not to mention anything else, just look at the increase in China's fiscal revenue, the increase in industrial data, and the number of private factories established.

As long as this steady development continues, China's economy will develop tremendously within a few years.

Wars are always bad.

Duan Xun said with a smile: "The next step is to look at Japan's attitude. If he wants to continue fighting, we will accept it. If he doesn't want to fight, we will talk. We don't want to fight Japan, but we cannot let the Japanese army's provocation."

"Itagaki-kun, the troops on the opposite side are troops from the Imperial Forest Army of China."

The military conflict was actually caught off guard by China.

Although the relationship between China and Japan has always been bad, since the signing of the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nanjing", the armies of both sides have been quite restrained.In the Yalu River area, there have been no conflicts.Both sides are trying their best to avoid some bad things from happening.

But since some unrest on the Korean peninsula, relations between the two countries have become tense again.Because both China and Japan are well aware that China stands behind the Korean Independence Army.But although they both knew it well, the two sides have never had any conflicts.The Japanese army pursued the troops of the Korean Independence Army. As long as the Korean Independence Army crossed the Yalu River and ran to the northeast, the Japanese army would stop the pursuit.Because the Japanese army did not want to conflict with the Chinese army.

Unexpectedly, this time a squadron of the Japanese army brazenly crossed the Yalu River, and the follow-up Japanese troops also came to the banks of the Yalu River.The Chinese army in the northeast was caught off guard.

"Mr. Gangcun, are you afraid?"

gendarmerie.

In fact, it was the original Kwantung Army.After withdrawing from the Northeast, they did not withdraw to the Japanese mainland, but stayed on the Korean peninsula and became the gendarmerie under the command of the North Korean Governor, and the North Korean Division became two important armed forces of the North Korean Governor's Office.

Mainly to loot supplies from the Korean peninsula.

Originally, the gendarmerie was only used to maintain local security. In China, it is similar to the previous police force.But the Kwantung Army is a regular army after all, and they turned into gendarmerie, which is completely in the regular army model.

The establishment is completely organized in accordance with the model of the Japanese field division.

"afraid?"

Neji Okamura smiled contemptuously.

What happened in 1923 had a huge impact on Japanese politics and the military.The original cabinet fell, and a large number of generals in the army were also held accountable.Many politicians and generals went down.

As a result, many young young officers were promoted.

Just like Neiji Okamura, who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy 20 years ago and then participated in the Russo-Japanese War.As a leader among the young Japanese military officers, Okamura Ningci is not slow to be promoted.But if it weren't for the failure in China in 1923, which punished a large number of army officers, Okamura Ningji would not have had the opportunity to come to the gendarmerie as the captain of the regiment.

In 20 years, he has the rank of Dazuo, and his promotion speed is quite fast in the Japanese army.The Japanese army is not the Chinese army after the Revolution of 30, and they can get into high positions by the age of [-] or [-].On the contrary, the upgrading of the Japanese army has a set order.

The 40-year-old captain of the Dazuo United is a very young officer in the Japanese army.Itagaki Seishiro, who was talking to Okamura Neiji, was his classmate, the current senior staff officer of the North Korean Governor-General's Mansion, and the rank of Dazuo.This group of students is slowly becoming an important force in the Japanese army.The one who was promoted faster was already the chief officer, and the one who was promoted more slowly was also the major and middle officer.

"The Imperial Army doesn't have the word 'fear', and I don't even know what fear is since I joined the army. But Mr. Itagaki, war is not a child's play. I want accurate information about the opponent. You must know that this time we can only win and not lose."

"do not worry."

Itagaki Seishiro is very confident.

He said to Gangmura Ningji: "Although China's army has developed greatly in recent years, it is definitely not an opponent of the imperial army. The quality of their officers and soldiers is far from our opponent of the Imperial Japanese Army. Two years ago I The army is in Manchuria, and it has actually begun to gain an advantage in the Kanto region. If it hadn’t been for the earthquake, we would have settled the matter in Manchuria long ago. Although the Chinese army has deployed a lot of troops on the Yalu River, but where is the Yalu River for such a long section? It can be fully controlled. According to our plan, other troops confronted the opposing troops on the Linjiang side, and we turned around. Although the opposing troops were from the imperial forest army of the Chinese government, they had not actually fought much, but their weapons and equipment were relatively good. It’s just that they are famous. They only have a division of about 1 troops in this area. As long as we quickly attack their flanks in a roundabout way, this army will definitely be unable to resist.”

Neiji Okamura looked at the map and nodded slightly.

Okamura Ningji's thinking was similar to Itagaki Seishiro's, otherwise he wouldn't have led a regiment of troops to attack in a detour.Dong Songyan's army was reorganized from the capital's garrison, and its reputation is indeed not small.But like Seishiro Itagaki said, he hasn't fought much.But Ningji Gangmura was silent for a while, thought for a while and said, "What did Itagaki-kun, Obata-kun and Nagata-kun say? If the higher-ups don't care, we'll be stuck, and what we do will be of no use."

adventure.

Yes.

This time the decision was very risky.These young Japanese officers are all very fanatical, even very arrogant.These people all graduated from Japan's own military academy, and many of them also participated in the Russo-Japanese War.There are also many people who studied in Europe and visited the First World War.

These young military officers are very dissatisfied with the status quo in Japan.Japan is too small, its population is not small in comparison, and its resources are poor, which seriously restricts Japan's development.Therefore, these young military officers in Japan hope to lay a big living space for Japan.

Where is the best place to be around Japan?

It is China.

Therefore, each of them is eyeing China, especially China's Northeast.All of them are very fanatical, hoping to take over China's Northeast and Mongolia and turn them into their own territory.

But their fanatics are fanatics. These people are professional soldiers, and they are officers who have received the most formal military training.No matter how arrogant Okamura Neiji was, he would not think that the current Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula could defeat the Chinese army in the Northeast.

China has 40 troops in the Northeast, and tens of thousands of armed police.The number of Japanese troops on the Korean peninsula is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to even control the situation in North Korea.Because the situation on the Korean peninsula is becoming more and more chaotic, the North Korean Governor's Office has had to ask for help from the country.Japan is preparing to dispatch two divisions of troops to the Korean peninsula for suppression.Therefore, compared with the 40 Chinese troops, the number of troops on the Korean Peninsula is too small.

Therefore, Neiji Okamura's thinking is very simple. They never thought of launching an incident like "9.18" in history.

They just want to drag Japan into the war and kidnap high-level Japanese military officers to participate in the war.So he needs to know the thoughts of the top Japanese.The "Obata-kun" mentioned was their classmate and one of the core figures of these radical young officers, Toshishiro Obata.Currently serving as the Chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters, he is also the rank of Colonel, and is highly valued in the General Staff Headquarters.What Nagata-kun is talking about is Nagata Tieshan, who is also their classmate. He is the core figure among the young officers.

Both of them are young officers with strong momentum in the military department, and they are major generals one step further.They are surrounded by a large number of young officers in the military headquarters.Even the Emperor of Japan received a core of young officers like them.

"Obata-san and Nagata-san's meaning is very simple. As long as we make disturbances on the front line, the military department will support it even if they don't want to. We can lose the Northeast, but we must not lose the Korean peninsula. If even North Korea The peninsula is lost, our half a century of hard work will be in vain, and the most important foothold will be lost. So as long as there are some disturbances and the situation becomes tense, the military can only send more troops to the Korean peninsula ...the more troops we have on the Korean peninsula, the better our chances."

"That's the case, but the cabinet doesn't necessarily agree."

Gangmura Ningci frowned.

Many of the big bosses in the Japanese cabinet now want to ease relations with China in order to increase Japan's exports and improve the Japanese economy.The most typical ones are the current Japanese cabinet minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi and foreign minister Kijuro Kobara.

Yuyuki Hamaguchi and Kijuro Hamaguchi are both politicians who advocate the abolition of the army, ease of relations with European and American countries, and China, in order to improve exports and develop the economy.

The influence of the two of them in the current cabinet is growing.Yuyuki Hamaguchi used to be the Minister of Finance and was in charge of Japan's finances. He knows the problems of the Japanese economy better than anyone else.Moreover, he is about to become the first candidate for the president of the Constitutional Democratic Party and the candidate for the future prime minister of Japan.

The ideas of these people are completely inconsistent with the ideas of these young officers.Therefore, the contradiction between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

"Mr. Gangcun, why are you getting less and less courageous?"

Itagaki Seishiro said a little angrily: "Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. As long as the situation here is tense, it is inevitable that large troops will be stationed on the Korean Peninsula. Then the cabinet can only follow us."

"kindness."

Okamura Ningji nodded slightly.But he still said: "There are still too many Chinese troops in the Northeast. Once they really attack aggressively, how can we resist? The reinforcements requested by the Governor's Mansion will not be able to arrive for several days."

"Mr. Okamura, this time we will make things bigger, but not bigger. We will narrow the scope of the war to the Chinese troops in Changbai and Linjiang. As long as we don't expand the scale of the war, I believe the Chinese army will not burn the war to Korean peninsula. The Chinese army would not have the guts to expand the war.”
