Beiyang reactionaries

Since November 11, after Japanese Cabinet Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka and Prime Minister Takahashi Yoshiki were attacked, Takahashi Shikiyo died on the spot and Tanaka Yoshiki entered the hospital.About a week later, Tanaka Yoshikazu woke up.

But just woke up.

People are not dead, but it takes a long time to recover.In other words, it takes a long time to get out of bed, and you may not be able to get out of bed.Considering his age, even if he could get out of bed, he would have already entered the coffin with half a foot.Returning to politics is even more of a joke.

Although Tanaka Yoshiichi woke up now, he couldn't speak.

The Japanese political arena is completely chaotic.

Hirota Hongyi returned to China to serve as the interim cabinet prime minister, but it didn't work at all.Don't say that Japan's major political parties don't take him seriously, and the military is even more arrogant.As strong as the suppression was at the beginning, the rebound is as strong as it is now.

When Yoshiichi Tanaka was there, he used the police system to suppress domestic political parties, strengthen the power of the cabinet, and control local governments.Tanaka Yoshiichi is a person who truly dares to centralize power. For disobedient political opponents, he will be charged with some crimes and thrown into prison.

This is not difficult.

Because Yoshiichi Tanaka changed the Japanese police system and trained a large number of secret police.Their job is to spy on those people.There is nothing clean about playing politics, especially in countries like Japan where chaebols and politicians are closely linked, and those politicians have financial ties to chaebols.If you are obedient, there is no problem, but if you are disobedient, those clues will appear immediately.So when Yoshiichi Tanaka was around, none of those political parties, those politicians were cautious.Including those schools, which one dares to say that Tanaka Yoshiichi is not.Tanaka Yoshiichi used an iron fist to display his political program.

And the army.

Tanaka Yoshiichi supported some moderate generals, and generals with the same views as himself to suppress those radical generals.Even Sugiyama Moto, a radical leader of the army, is cautious in front of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

This is the strength of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

It's a pity that Tanaka Yoshiichi withdrew from the political arena, and these people came back to life.Hirota Koki had always been Yoshiichi Tanaka's follower before, following the baton of Yoshiichi Tanaka.Now Hirota Hongyi wants to be alone, how can it be so easy.

The military even ignored him outright.

The result is that Japanese politics is now in chaos.

"Yes, and it's a big deal. Ishihara Wanji, who was originally the head of the First Department of the General Staff Headquarters in the base camp, was transferred to the head of the 37th Division."

"The 37nd Division?"

"The division that was just established last year is a second-level division with only 1.5 people. It is currently stationed in Java Island and is responsible for the local security of Java Island."

"Ishihara Waner just accepted it like this?"

"I heard that after Ishihara Wanji received the order, he overturned Moto Sugiyama's table on the spot. He directly stated that Moto Sugiyama was a sinner of Japan, and accused Seishiro Itagaki of being a short-sighted trash."

"This is more like Ishihara Wanji's character."

Duan Xun smiled.

One of Tanaka Yoshiichi's favorite generals is Ishihara Kanji.It was precisely because of Yoshiichi Tanaka's liking that Ishihara Wanji became the head of the first department of the General Staff Headquarters, controlling the most important department of the General Staff Headquarters.

Sugiyama Moto was trembling in the face of Tian Zhongyi.

What is the main reason?

That is Yoshiichi Tanaka, one of the few prime ministers in the Japanese cabinet who has put his hand into the base camp.It is too obvious that Tanaka Yoshiichi wants to promote Ishihara Wanji.If it weren't for Ishihara Wan'er's lack of qualifications, Tanaka Yoshiichi would definitely push Ishihara Wan'er to become Prime Minister Lu and the chief of staff.So in Sugiyama Yuan's eyes, Ishihara Waner is the most annoying.Not only is the interest relationship, but also the views of both sides are completely different.

Sugiyama Moto and Itagaki Seishiro are both radicals of the army, while Ishihara Wanji belongs to the moderate faction.The contradiction between the two parties is very sharp.

Now it is finally possible to drive Ishihara Wanji out of the General Staff Headquarters.

"Who is appointed as the first minister?"

"tojo Hideki."

When Jiang Hongyu said a name, the people who were doing it were all surprised.It's not because Hideki Tojo is so powerful that he shocked everyone.It is because Tojo Hideki is one of the representatives of the Japanese military radicals.

At the beginning of this year, Hideki Tojo was appointed as the deputy secretary of the army.And after he became the undersecretary of the army, he immediately clamored to completely defeat Britain to take India and Australia, and also prepared to go to war with the United States, so that the United States would completely get out of Asia.

His wild words caused an uproar in the entire Japanese political and economic circles.

Tanaka Yoshih was furious at the time.After all, Yoshiichi Tanaka is so careful to maintain the situation in Japan, you, a small army deputy chief, are talking nonsense.So he put pressure on the military in a fit of anger.

Chief of Staff of the General Staff Headquarters Moto Sugiyama and Seishiro Itagaki, Minister Lu, could not withstand the pressure of Yoshiichi Tanaka, so they exiled Hideki Tojo, who had just served as Army Deputy Chief for a few days, to Singapore.Let him serve as the chief of staff of the Japanese Nanyang Army and participate in the Burmese campaign with Britain.

Unexpectedly, just after Yoshiichi Tanaka had an accident, Moto Sugiyama and Seishiro Itagaki transferred Hideki Tojo back to the headquarters of the general staff.

"Hideki Tojo returned to China this time, not only serving as the first head of the General Staff Headquarters, but also serving as the Deputy Chief of the Army again."

"This group of crazy soldiers in Japan."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Although Yoshiichi Tanaka is an opponent, this person's ability is really strong.

Step by step, manage Japan with trepidation.In order to create a good diplomatic environment for Japan, Yoshihide Tanaka bowed his head to China several times and also maintained friendly relations with the United States.Since Japan went to war with the United Kingdom in Nanyang, the United States has criticized Japan at every turn.But Yoshiichi Tanaka explained to the United States every time, rarely when he was tough.

That's how the current situation came about.

It's a pity that in the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, Yoshihide Tanaka only knows how to deal with internal affairs, but is too weak externally, and he has lost Japan's face.

"What does Japan say about the negotiations between Sakhalin and Taiwan?"

"shirk."

Jiang Hongyu said: "Hirota Koni canceled all the planned negotiation schedules on the grounds that the current political situation in Japan is unstable. He also stated that this matter will not be renegotiated until the official cabinet prime minister takes office."

"Got it. Looks like Japan's diplomacy is about to change."

"A message from Washington."

The world-renowned Sino-Soviet war ended with the signing of the "Sino-Soviet Border Treaty" by the two sides, and finally ended with the Soviet troops in the Far Eastern Military Region laying down their weapons.Afterwards, China and the Soviet Union have begun to form a boundary committee to start a new division of the Sino-Soviet border.The Soviet Union was very dissatisfied with the course of this war and the result of this war, but the Soviet Union still chose to back down.

Because the whole situation is too unfavorable for the Soviet Union.

The high-level Soviet Union did a lot of analysis and found that there was no way to reverse the passive situation in a short period of time.Compared with the Soviet Union, China has been preparing for this war for too long.The result was that after the situation was passive, the Soviet Union did not even have a prepared plan.So the current situation is not only passive, but even if the war continues, it will directly shake the Soviet Union's rule in the Far East and Central Asia.Therefore, the Soviet Union can only choose to make temporary concessions to meet China's requirements.But the Soviet Union is a big country, and they absolutely couldn't swallow such a setback.But at least in the winter of 1939, China and the Soviet Union stabilized.

This time the war has taken the whole world by surprise.China and the Soviet Union are the most powerful countries in the world, and the outcome of the war between the two countries directly affects the world situation.Therefore, the war between the two countries has attracted the attention of the whole world.The countries paying attention to this war were all dumbfounded, and those military observers were also caught off guard, because the war process was completely different from what they imagined and what they deduced.The Soviet Union has been promoting how powerful and powerful the Soviet Red Army is.Although those powers may not completely believe the Soviet Union's propaganda, they still believe that the Soviet Union is stronger than China.

After all, Russia, the main constituent country of the Soviet Union, was once a powerful empire, known as the "European Gendarmerie".The establishment of the Soviet Union was different from that of China. They went through very difficult wars and defeated millions of opposition troops, including many intervening troops, before they achieved the complete independence of Soviet Russia.It can be said that the Soviet Red Army really established the Soviet Union with blood.In comparison, although the Chinese army is large in scale, it has not fought many tough battles so far.During the process of Duan Xun's entry into Beijing, he defeated all Chinese warlords.The big powers look down on China's warlord troops.Therefore, in the hearts of the great powers, China is no match for the Soviet Union, and the Chinese army is also inferior to the Soviet army.

But what about the results?

After the outbreak of the war, the Chinese army was almost destroyed, and the Soviet Red Army was thrown away.In a short period of time, more than one million people were captured by the Chinese army alone.This battle of the Chinese army attracted the attention of the world.

During this war, the Chinese army mobilized tens of thousands of planes, tens of thousands of tanks, tens of thousands of cannons, hundreds of thousands of trucks, and millions of troops.

With this war, China's status in the world has risen rapidly.If the great powers valued China before, they only felt that China had a large territory, a large population, and an astonishing industrial scale.Then after this war, all the great powers put China on an equal footing with them.After all, China now has millions of troops and so many modern weapons and equipment that no power can ignore.

However, China did not have time to enjoy the joy of victory in this war.Because the Chinese government has too many things to do.After the situation stabilized, the Chinese government turned its attention to other directions again.

After the short-term aftermath of the Sino-Soviet War ended, the time has entered February 1940.Just after the Spring Festival, several departments of the Supreme Council, the Cabinet, and the Military Council held a joint meeting.

"The United States has passed a new 'Neutrality Act'. The main target of it is the United Kingdom. According to the analysis of the 'Neutrality Act' passed this time, the United States is preparing to support the United Kingdom on a large scale to fight against the strong Germany. The 'Neutrality Act' this time The support starts with food, logistical supplies and military supplies. According to the news from Washington, the Roosevelt administration is preparing to further change the 'Neutrality Act', still in order to support the military bloc led by the United Kingdom. Roosevelt himself It is necessary to change the isolationism that the United States has always had."
