Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Compared with the previous two battlefields, the Asian battlefield has now entered a rather strange stalemate phase.

Let's talk about the Japanese first. As the war in Longguo becomes increasingly unfavorable to the Japanese, they have begun to strategically retreat. Except for a few relatively important occupied areas, the Japanese basically continue to occupy other areas if they can, and simply give up those that they cannot occupy.

In this environment, the Longguo army has changed its previous passive defensive strategy and has begun to take the initiative. Facing the Longguo army that has been tempered by the war, the Japanese, who are at a disadvantage in military strength, have already suffered more defeats than victories on the Longguo battlefield.

If we say that the biggest change in Longguo in recent years is that the Red Party in the north, after years of development, now has the strength to compete with the southern government.

In fact, the Red Party in the north has recently been contacting the anti-Japanese forces outside the Great Wall. If the Red Party can successfully incorporate these elite troops outside the Great Wall, the southern government will completely lose the ability to fight against the Red Party.

Having said that, the situation of the Japanese in Longguo looks bad, but all this was intentionally allowed by the Japanese.

For the Japanese, if they were unable to occupy the entire Dragon Country in the shortest possible time, their grand strategy would have been a complete failure.

Since everything has failed, there is absolutely no need to continue to tangle with Longguo.

Look at how they have been living in Longguo in recent years, and then look at how they have been living in Southeast Asia.

Although they lost many prime areas in Southeast Asia to Nanhua, the land they have now is enough for the Japanese to make a fortune.

However, any discerning person can see that the Japanese are now at the end of their strength. With their own country's strength against the three countries of Long, Chou and Nanhua, even if the Japanese are really cheating, their failure is still inevitable in the face of the absolute gap.

Precisely because many people have seen this clearly, many chaebols in Japan have begun to find ways to hide their wealth. If they want to have a chance to make a comeback, they will inevitably have to compete with the Allied countries in a battle of wits and courage.

In addition, some people have even begun to send their own children away in order to preserve their bloodline. As the saying goes, the larger the family, the more they know how to diversify their investments. At this time, if you still put all your eggs in one basket, you deserve to be unlucky in the future.

Right now, Nanhua is using the excuse of troops resting and integrating the occupied areas to give the troops on the front line a relatively long rest period.

During this period, the military still has a lot to do, such as resting the troops, treating the wounded, replenishing supplies, summarizing war experience, trying out new equipment, etc. In addition, the Ministry of National Defense also needs to assess the merits of the soldiers and place disabled soldiers.

All in all, although the war has stopped temporarily, the Ministry of National Defense has become busier.

"Your Majesty, the Ying Kingdom has sent a note. They hope that we can end the war in West Africa as soon as possible and mobilize troops to the European battlefield as soon as possible. Next, they will cooperate with the Ugly Kingdom and the Mao Bear's army to launch a counterattack against the Franco-Spanish alliance."

"Just find an excuse to prevaricate. We won't get involved in this matter. They really think Hans' army is made of mud. Don't forget, in the dozens of battles before, when many countries joined forces to face Hans' army, they were still at a disadvantage. If they want to counterattack, they can't just shout a few slogans. I don't want to let our soldiers die in vain in Europe. Let Fang Hong drag it out slowly. I guess he and Long Mei'er on the opposite side have already reached a tacit understanding. I believe they will cooperate with each other!"

"Your Majesty, I think we should give some feedback on this matter. At most, we can send some cannon fodder divisions to the European battlefield. I still don't think it's a good idea to just reject it like this."

"Then how about this? We can draw 400,000 troops from the Ackerman Kingdom and the East Asian occupied areas to form an expeditionary force. Then we can transfer the Fifth, Seventh, and Tenth Divisions back to China and let them lead the 400,000 colonial troops to Europe. Now the Yingguo people will have nothing to say, right?"

At the beginning, Sun Tong planned to randomly bring a few Type B divisions to Europe, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to give up this idea.

There is nothing wrong with sending a Type B division over there, but the problem is that the equipment configuration of the Type B division itself is not suitable for the European battlefield. If they are asked to equip themselves with the weapons of the Ying and Ugly people when they go there, I guess they will not be able to adapt to it for a while.

In this case, Sun Tong might as well send the Type A Division directly. Through experiments on the Japanese, everyone in the South China military has now reached a consensus that the combat effectiveness of a Type A Division can probably match that of four to five Type B Divisions. This means that sending the Type A Division to Europe will actually greatly reduce casualties among the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea. I believe that what we have done is enough to silence several allies. I will go and write back to the Ying people now."
