Beiyang reactionaries

Provide destroyers, escort destroyers, torpedo boats, and transport ships to the Japanese Navy, and tanks to the Japanese Army.

Of course, in addition to such direct support, the existence of China is a huge political and diplomatic support for Japan.It is precisely because China and Japan have always been allies and have cooperated to establish the Asian United Organization, so European and American countries are very cautious in Asia.Japan was able to continuously expand its territory in Nanyang before, relying on the support of its ally China.

Therefore, from any aspect, Japan should not turn against Japan at this stage.

This is the reason.

Another reason, Tanaka Yoshiichi admitted directly.That is, China is too strong now, especially in land warfare, Japan is not China's opponent at all.Look at the number of planes, tanks, and artillery in China.

Although the only weapon theory is incorrect.

But equipment of this scale can represent a country's industrial capabilities.Japan's industrial strength absolutely does not have the ability to equip so many aircraft, tanks, and artillery to fight a battle of this scale.Even if Japan can produce so many weapons and equipment, it does not have the strength to provide so much ammunition.There are also not enough means of transportation to transport these weapons and equipment to the front-line troops.

But China has no problem.

For this war, China not only mobilized so many aircraft, tanks and cannons, but also had more than 20 trucks and thousands of transport planes for the front-line movement of ammunition and logistics supplies.

This is the gap.

Tanaka Yoshiichi was very calm and clearly knew the gap.So in front of Takahashi Shiqing, he didn't hide his thoughts, and directly acknowledged the strength of China.

"Ah."

Takahashi nodded.

China in the past few years has indeed shocked many high-level Japanese people.The industrial data released by China, and China's openness to let everyone visit the tank factory they adapted from the Shenyang Tractor Factory have shocked many countries.

Not to mention that after the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet War, the number of aircraft, tanks, and artillery used by both sides left many countries dumbfounded.The scale of the Sino-Soviet war was the same as that of Germany in Europe.

No other war can compare.

The current war between Japan and Britain in Burma is nothing compared to the Sino-Soviet war.Currently in Burma, Japan and the United Kingdom are using tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of troops.The hundreds of thousands and millions invested in a battle like that between China and the Soviet Union are not at the same level at all.

Takahashi Qing said: "Tanaka-kun, just say what you think."

"I want to talk to the Chinese government about the issue of Taiwan, as well as the issue of northern Ezo (Sakhalin). When the Chinese government talks to us, we will be very passive. The Chinese government will never give up these areas. We Fight for the initiative, give up some benefits, and get what we need from the Chinese government."

The territorial dispute between China and Japan has always been Taiwan.

But with the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet war, Yoshiichi Tanaka also had to consider the issue of Sakhalin Island.During the Russian Civil War after the October Revolution, Japan originally occupied the entire Sakhalin Island.Later, the Soviet Red Army continued to develop and came to Sakhalin Island.At that time, the Soviet Union had already won the civil war, so Japan could only retreat.Similarly, the Soviet Union did not want to fight Japan, so the two sides finally signed a new agreement.The southern part of Sakhalin is currently under Japanese control.But before the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet War, Sakhalin Island was also included in China's territorial claims.The Chinese government directly stated that Sakhalin Island is China's inherent territory.

So Yoshiichi Tanaka should also consider this aspect.

When the Sino-Soviet war is over, China will definitely take Sakhalin Island. How will it be handled then?

"Then you mean to take a step back and maintain the relationship with China?"

"Yes."

Tanaka Yoshiichi thought about this for a long time.

After receiving Ishihara Wanji's report, Tanaka Yoshiichi really made up his mind.It is absolutely impossible to go to war with China, and it is still necessary to maintain an ally relationship with China for a period of time in the future.

This is what Tanaka Yoshiichi meant.But this matter is too big and must be supported by other people.The first thing Tanaka Yoshiichi looked for was his alliance in the party, and the cabinet ally Takahashi was Qing.

"Tanaka-kun, you have to know that the military will not agree."

Takahashi frowned.

Whether it is Taiwan or Sakhalin Island, the Japanese army paid a lot of money to get it.In recent years, the Japanese army has been invincible in Nanyang, and the British have been retreating steadily.The Japanese military is getting stronger and stronger.

Although Tanaka Yoshiichi has been strengthening the cabinet's strength over the years, suppressing the military, and preventing the military from interfering with the cabinet's decisions.But with the outbreak of the war, the strength of the army became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult to control.

Even Tanaka Yoshiichi is the same.

Some arrogant officers in the military even thought that Yoshiichi Tanaka was too conservative, which affected Japan's development.

"A group of short-sighted guys. If you really follow the ideas of those foolish people, the empire will be doomed. Everyone is overestimated, and they don't know themselves or the enemy. I am thinking about the future of the empire."

Tanaka Yoshiichi was very dissatisfied with those arrogant army generals.

The situation in Japan is very good now, and this is a situation that I have worked hard to create.But those army officers who don't understand the overall situation are all the bosses and the second children of the Japanese army.Those people are completely insane.

The battle went smoothly, making them proud one by one.Look down on Britain and France, let alone China and the United States.One by one clamored to attack the Philippines, and one by one clamored to take down Sumatra controlled by China.

Tanaka Yoshiichi was very angry.

Although Japan is not weak now, but while fighting with Britain, it also wants to offend the United States and China, which is completely courting death.

"Tanaka-kun, but you still need to be careful. Even His Majesty the Emperor may not necessarily support your idea."

"I will convince His Majesty the Emperor. Prime Minister Zang, I need your support, and the support of the party."

"I'm still a little worried. I think we should first get the support of His Majesty the Emperor. With His Majesty's support, things will go smoothly."

"I know."

"Chairman, just received the telegram. The No.13 Division, the 36th Division, and the 36th Division of the Second Corps of the Xinjiang Construction Corps invaded Almaty and took down the headquarters of the Soviet 14th Army. The [-]th Division of the Soviet [-]th Army [-] Soviet generals surrendered, and [-] troops surrendered. Commander Sun Zhen reported that all resistance forces in and around the city of Almaty can be completely wiped out within two days."

Xu Yongchang reported to Duan Xun.

The 36th Army of the Soviet Union was defeated very quickly, and Sun Zhen led the troops into Almaty in less than ten days.Occupied Almaty, the most important traffic artery in Central Asia.

"The troops seized more than 1200 wagons of weapons and ammunition and more than 1700 wagons of logistics supplies in Almaty. In this battle, more than 900 tanks and more than 1300 cannons were seized."

Almaty has a large amount of Soviet logistics supplies.

This time Sun Zhen and the others occupied Almaty, and most of them were captured by them.Of course, there are also a lot of supplies, which left Almaty before Almaty was taken.However, the incident happened suddenly, and there were still a large amount of supplies that could not be evacuated from Almaty and were seized by the Chinese army.

"Where is Yershakov, commander of the 36th Army?"

"Wounded and captured, lung hit by shrapnel."

"it is good."

The war went much smoother than expected.

When the war with the Soviet Union started, the Military Commission made a lot of plans.Including once defeated, how China can restore the situation and so on.The military committee attaches great importance to this war.In comparison, the Soviet Union was very optimistic, believing that there was no opponent that the Soviet Red Army could not defeat.

In terms of preparations for war, the Soviet Union is far inferior to China.

After the fight, the well-prepared Chinese army can be said to have swept the Soviet army.The situation on all fronts is very optimistic, which makes the Chinese high-level very satisfied.Now that it has entered October, snowflakes have begun to fall in the north, and the temperature has also begun to drop.Everyone understands that the current war will soon end.

There will always be many difficulties in fighting in the winter.Not to mention anything else, logistics alone is a big problem.Once heavy snow falls, the truck transportation that China currently relies on will be greatly affected.

Therefore, before the heavy snow fell, China stepped up its offensive.I hope to get the best situation before the heavy snow falls.
