Beiyang reactionaries

Those common people see the wind as the rain.In the current situation, people all over the country are panicking, worrying that their savings will become waste paper.So everyone is queuing up, waiting to withdraw money.

This run would kill all Japanese banks.

It must be stopped.

"Second, the Bank of Taiwan must be bailed out. Prime Minister, we cannot abandon Taiwan, and we must not allow anything like Taiwan to happen to the Korean Peninsula. The empire also needs Taiwan's camphor, Taiwan's coal, and more importantly, Taiwan's rice sugar and food. Taiwan’s gold needs Taiwan’s oil. If we don’t bail out the Bank of Taiwan and allow the Bank of Taiwan to close as it is now, Taiwan’s economy will never be able to recover. At that time, Taiwan will be in trouble like the Korean Peninsula, which is very bad for us. Unfavorable. Not only economically, Taiwan is also very important to our navy. Therefore, Taiwan must not be messed up."

Japan is actually a rising star among the great powers.

Like the United States, because it is a rising country, it does not have many colonies.The United States only occupied the Philippines, while Japan occupied the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan.Originally, the Northeast was also Japan's sphere of influence, but after being driven out by China, only the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan remained.

That is the situation on the Korean Peninsula now, and Taiwan can no longer be in chaos.Taiwan has provided many good things to Japan.Camphor is indispensable to modern industry, as well as rice sugar, grain, and gold mines and oil fields in Taiwan.They are all important materials looted by Japan.

If Taiwan breaks out again and cannot import these resources, it will be another big blow to the Japanese economy.Therefore, Takahashi Shiqing's second suggestion is that the Bank of Taiwan must be bailed out.

"What about the third?"

Tanaka Yoshiichi thought for a while and did not answer directly, but asked the third point.

Takahashi Shiqing looked at Tanaka Yoshiichi and said solemnly: "End the battle in Hyesan County on the Korean Peninsula."

"Finish?"

Tanaka Yoshihiro shook his head.

He said directly: "The Korean peninsula must be calmed down as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. If this rebel force cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, their strength will become stronger and stronger. With the money and weapons of the Chinese government, Even forming 20 or [-] troops is possible. I cannot allow such a thing to happen. I am going to send two divisions of troops into the Korean peninsula again to completely end the current situation. If the two divisions do not work , I will send two more divisions to deal with them."

"Hey--"

Takahashi sighed.

Looking at Yoshihito Tanaka: "Prime Minister, let me tell you the truth. I have just checked our Zhangmu, and now we have no money in our treasury, and I can't get a penny out. And for the Korean peninsula This year, we have already issued 8000 million war bonds. Naoto Kataoka was preparing to issue another 5000 million bonds for the war on the Korean peninsula. If it is normal, of course there is no problem. We can always find a way But now that the country is in such a crisis, if people learn that we have to issue treasury bonds for the sake of war, the financial market will definitely be turbulent again. Besides, now that we issue treasury bonds, who can buy them? Banks across the country will go bankrupt. No one will accept it. Besides, Prime Minister, it is already October, and I heard that the first snow fell in Huisan County, and the temperature at night is already below zero. The temperature will drop soon, and it will enter winter. Will we really be able to solve the situation in Hyesan County in a short time? If not, how will we solve the current domestic financial problems? Prime Minister, the first thing we need to do in the current situation is to solve the domestic situation. Wait for it to be resolved With the current financial crisis, the issue of the Korean peninsula can be reconsidered next year."

"Really can not?"

"Really not. The Ministry of Finance really can't spend a penny. If we send two divisions up again according to the Prime Minister's intention, we will need to raise at least [-] million yuan. Judging from the current situation, this is not enough at all." Might be done. Unless the Prime Minister ignores the situation at home."

Takahashi shook his head.

fight?

What a joke.When is it now, if you are not careful, the entire banking system will collapse.At this time, I was still thinking about fighting.

So what if the war is won?

The Korean peninsula has become a ruin, and it will not be able to bring any benefits to Japan in a short period of time.On the contrary, support from Japan is needed.

"Prime Minister, think about it. Winter is about to begin. Once the snow falls, will our logistics be adequately guaranteed? The railways and roads on the Korean Peninsula have been severely damaged. The traffic situation is still very bad. The logistical pressure on the front line will increase. But the North Korean rebels have the support of the Chinese government behind them. The Chinese government can continuously support the North Korean rebels in Linjiang. Because this year The agriculture on the Korean peninsula has completely collapsed. Our people need local supplies for food, clothing, and ammunition for war. Prime Minister, do you think we can do it under the current situation? The best way is to retreat. The first step is to restore our rule on the Korean peninsula, restore the police station, restore the tax office and other institutions. When the economy is stabilized next year, the North Korean rebels will be wiped out in one fell swoop next year."

Tanaka frowned.

I was very angry in my heart, and I was angry when I thought of the Governor of North Korea, Saito Minoru.Originally, there was a good opportunity to deal with the Korean Independence Army this year, but the damn Saito was hesitant, and the result was that the Korean Independence Army jumped up to now.

It's winter and it's snowing.

damn it.

But Tanaka Yoshiichi also began to calm down.Takahashi Shiqing is right, the current problem is to solve the domestic financial crisis.If the domestic financial crisis cannot be resolved, then his position as prime minister will also be unstable.Only when the financial crisis is resolved first and the position of prime minister is firmly secured, can the following matters be handled easily.

"Do you have any solution to the domestic situation? Just suspending payment is not a radical solution."

"Prime Minister, haven't you noticed? When the crisis comes, those small and medium-sized banks have no strength to resist it. Only those companies with strong strength can withstand it. So my suggestion is that the government should support those big banks and support those banks. Large enterprises, mergers and acquisitions of small and medium-sized banks and small and medium-sized enterprises that are in crisis. Rapidly expand their strength to tide over the difficulties this time and avoid such turmoil next time. Support those big banks and large enterprises so that They will support the government's actions in the future. Owning those big companies can give the government more and faster support than scattered small businesses."

"The Japanese army retreated, the Japanese army retreated."

On October 1925, 10, the Japanese army besieged Huisan County, and the Japanese troops who had fought in Huisan County for more than a month retreated slowly.Begin to evacuate the previously captured positions.Again, the one-year turmoil on the Korean Peninsula has dealt a severe blow to all walks of life on the Korean Peninsula.It should be said that the entire Korean peninsula was smashed.

Needless to say, industry.

Basically, factories have been smashed by North Korean resistance forces.Including the previous riots, North Korean workers damaged all the machines in the factory and severely damaged the factory.Many cities on the Korean peninsula originally had power plants, but this time, except for the power plants in Seoul, which had no major problems, the power plants in other cities were destroyed by rebel forces.

As for the electric wires and the like in the city, they were all taken away by the resistance forces.So much so that the current cities on the Korean peninsula, even Pyongyang, have not fully restored power supply.

At night, the whole city is pitch black.

As for those mining factories, needless to say, they were completely bombed to pieces.Japan originally had many mining companies in North Korea, plundering coal mines, iron ore, copper mines, etc. from North Korea.But now it can't be pulled away at all. If there is no recovery for a year or two, it will be difficult for those damaged factories to recover.

Then there is farming.

In the southern part of the Korean peninsula, the Japanese asked the local people to raise sheep.Because Japan needs sheep, sheep skin, goat milk, and mutton. The Korean peninsula is a Japanese colony, and Japan needs to be provided with what they need.

But during the riots this time, those sheep didn't know where to go, and how many were followed by people, and those who raised the sheep also ran away.The sheep farming industry throughout southern North Korea has been hit hard.

Then there is agriculture.

The rice and corn grown on the Korean peninsula, as well as the cotton grown in large quantities in the north, all suffered from poor yields.Because there was a big riot during the planting season, which seriously affected the planting.After that, there was continuous fighting, which made all the surrounding farmers run away.

The cotton needed by Japan was originally collected in large quantities from the Korean Peninsula.But this time cotton production has been hit very hard, not even one-tenth of previous years.

The same is true for food.

Food is the hardest hit in war.A poor harvest of food will lead to food shortages throughout the Korean peninsula.Not to mention the chaos in the northern part of the Korean peninsula from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.In addition, Huishan County has concentrated [-] troops to fight, and the food has long since run out.

Many local villagers either fled to China, or ran into deep mountains and dense forests.It is difficult for Japan to raise enough supplies around Hyesan County, so the required logistical supplies must be shipped from the south.

This is very difficult.

From the south to the north, there are thousands of kilometers in between.Originally, the train was used to pull supplies, but the logistics was still very good.However, the railway was always destroyed by some detachments of the Korean Independence Army.Railroads are easy to wreck, but not so easy to repair.

In addition, the Hyesan County position they occupy now has very bad roads, and 80.00% of them are mountains.Now it's snowing again, although the snow is not heavy, but the temperature is dropping extremely fast.

The army needs food, it needs winter clothes, it needs more ammunition.

The logistics of the Japanese army could not support it.Especially now that the financial crisis broke out in Japan, the support for the Korean peninsula is even weaker.The current situation on the Korean peninsula, if there is no local support, it will not be possible to fight at all.Therefore, Yoshiichi Tanaka could only order the Japanese army to retreat and stand by in the end.

"Okay, great. The Japanese army has finally withdrawn, and Japan has finally withdrawn."

Park Shiguang was so excited that his voice trembled.

This time, he really saved Huishan County with his life.In this month's offensive and defensive battle, the Korean Independence Army, as the defensive side, and occupying a favorable terrain, even paid more than 8000 casualties.If it weren't for the life-like support of the artillery units on the Chinese side, and the continuous supply of weapons and ammunition from the Chinese side, how could the Korean Independence Army hold Hyesan County.In this month's offensive and defensive battle, the Chinese artillery unit fired 10,000+ shells.Although it is not as good as the hundreds of thousands or millions of shells in Europe in World War I.But on the Asian battlefield, firing 10,000+ shells is absolutely amazing.

Only a big country like China can produce so many shells.The front-line cannons were broken, and the Northeast Military Region replenished them.

For the battle in Huishan County, the logistics troops of the entire Northeast Military Region are all serving them.Whatever Huishan County needs, the logistics troops of the Northeast Military Region will prepare for them.
