Chapter 162: The Choice of Japanese Transmigrators
It should be said that everything went smoothly before Zhang Xianzhong's journey to Luzon.
After Zhang Xianzhong's troops arrived in Nanyu Township, Chen Zilong handed over 2,000 Jiashen rifles and 20,000 grenades to Zhang Xianzhong. The goods were all over the country and were satisfied. Unexpectedly, after Zhang Xianzhong tried this batch of arms, he became more and more requested to add orders. Naturally, it was not Chen Zilong's turn to decide on the arms transaction, so Chen Zilong had to send a letter to Nanjing. During the waiting days, his own military consultant from the Ming Dynasty was responsible for training Zhang Xianzhong's troops.
Chongzhen was also excited about making money by selling arms, but now the seller has the final say. Chongzhen was so reserved, and the final result would certainly not disappoint Zhang Xianzhong too much.
After buying more arms, Zhang Xianzhong's troops finally set off. The Ming army navy adopted an island-by-island escort mode, as if facing a great enemy, but nothing happened.
The reason why the Japanese did not attack when they chose the Ming army to escort Zhang Xianzhong was that they were afraid of the wolves tactics of the Ming army's navy, and the other was that they were given by Zuo Maodi's envoy to Japan.
Zuo Maodi went on a mission to Japan and brought the letter of the Ming Emperor's country. Since the Ming Empire expressed its willingness to be peaceful, the emperor was still a child. His diplomacy with the Ming Empire was finally inevitably placed in front of the time travel clan led by Taiichiro Hashimoto. Regarding the diplomacy with the Ming Empire, whether it was a war or a peace, the time travel cabinet had been avoiding it, because even the time travel clans of the time travel clans also had different opinions.
After Zuo Maodi and Ruan Dacheng handed over the letter of the country, they were left aside. Fortunately, the Japanese were quite careful in their hospitality, but one day or two days - five days passed, and the Japanese had no response. The two of them didn't know what the Japanese sold in the gourd, but they couldn't be anxious about this matter, so they had to wait patiently for the following.
War or peace is a problem. The envoys of the Ming Empire are waiting for peace, but the time-traveling group led by Taiichiro Hashimoto has not yet had a clear conclusion.
The debate about this issue is too intense.
The Ruan Dacheng, who came with Zuo Maodi, was a treacherous minister from the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, but this guy said that when talking about the international situation, he was saliva and made a lot of discussion. In his words, the Ming Dynasty mainly integrates the northern region in the future. As for the world pattern, the Ming Dynasty does not want Europeans to occupy the North American continent. However, if Japan enters the North American continent, it is acceptable to consider that it does not affect the interests of the Ming Dynasty. It cannot be said that this hint caters to the appetite of the extremely hated American faction led by Shiro Yano, and Shiro Yano and his gang have long planned.
A plan to move eastward to North America, and the forces of the anti-American faction among the time travelers were quite a bit of. Yano Shiro and others care more about taking up North America's fat territory first. As for their reasons, they are very sufficient. Their reason is that they must never give the United States the opportunity to establish a country. Japan is an earthquake zone. Is there any place that can match the best territory of North America? As for the width of the Pacific Ocean, Japan's steam power can be immediately practical. At that time, the Pacific Ocean was not an obstacle to the eastward advance of Japan.
Under the planning of Shiro Yano and others, the plan to enter North America is very attractive. If you want to enter North America, it is better to maintain the relationship with the Ming Dynasty first, otherwise the plan will be ruined.
Yuichi Nakamura was a representative who firmly opposed the conclusion of a peace treaty with the Ming Empire. The group of people represented by Nakamura have always been only focused on North Korea and China. This faction also has sufficient reasons, that is, it cannot allow the Ming Empire to become bigger. Only by killing the revival caused by the Chongzhen period of the Ming Empire in the cradle can Japan dominate the world unscrupulously.
Of course, there are also people like Nagaki Kubo. As long as they can make money and enjoy it, it doesn’t matter whether they are dominant or not, but they have a typical mentality of being soy.
Although Daisuke Fujino and his group were also extreme militarists, Fujino was still quite pragmatic and did not agree with the whim of making the national policy. Fujino's proposal was to make a long-term plan. Whether conquering China or going east to North America, Fujino believed that Japan needed time to prepare.
Finally, I finally sorted out the rules and summarized the opinions of everyone, which were nothing more than the following three:
The first option is to target the Ming Empire, which is the most threatening, and to do everything the whole country to destroy the Ming Empire at the fastest speed at all costs, and then occupy China and dominate the world;
The second option is to temporarily conclude a non-aggression treaty with the Ming Empire, gain time, enter the North American continent, and obtain the North American continent, concentrate on construction and seek development. At the same time, try to obstruct the unification of the Ming Empire, and wait until the time is ripe, and then fight the Ming Empire to dominate the world;
The third option is to make soy sauce. The poem says, "Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise." This is the realm of this. If you don't dominate, you only get rich, you can at least be well-off. If you are free to enjoy AV fashion, it's a great pleasure.
The various plans of the time travelers were finally represented by these three choices summarized by the three options. Therefore, the time travelers who stayed in Japan had endless discussions around these three representative plans.
It is obviously not considered. Who would believe that you are just a so-called so-called! This world is either a hero or a moaning under violence. The end of being so-called so-called is marginalization and enslavement. Besides, if you have traveled through time, you have not taken the opportunity to perform violence, it is really worth it. It is true that people are not violent and traveling through time.
After the choice of making soy sauce was abandoned, the remaining first and second choice triggered a sharp debate.
Yano Shiro first started his speech on his own Eastward plan:
"As for the second option, it is almost done according to this idea, but we have not yet reached the point of signing a non-aggression treaty with the Ming Empire, and we have not formulated a plan to move eastward to North America in time. In my opinion, moving eastward to the North American continent is the best development strategy for our great Japan. First, I would like to ask you all, who did our great Japan lose to the second World War? Of course, we lost to the United States. Without the United States, we can even occupy Chongqing. There is no doubt that the United States is the biggest enemy of the great Japan. And China has never threatened Japan. On the contrary, it is our great Japan that has repeatedly ravaged China, so China is not our number one enemy. This is one of them."
Yano Shiro's view aroused applause, and most of the time travelers present obviously agreed with Yano's view.
Yano continues to speak:
"Second, I want to say that the North American continent is simply a magical land. The Arctic Ocean is to the north, the Atlantic Ocean is to the east, and the Pacific Ocean is to the west. From the Atlantic Ocean to the east, it can sweep across Europe and from the Pacific Ocean to the west, it can determine Asia. Regarding the resources of the North American continent, of course, it is the world's first. Don't forget that in 1859, Pennsylvania drilled the world's first oil well. The North American continent has fertile land, rich minerals, and high-yield oil, and has unparalleled geographical advantages. More importantly, the North American continent is still a virgin land. If it is not occupied at this time, then when will it be!"
Yano's sensational speech won warm applause.
However, immediately, Kobayashi Ichibo retorted:
"The North American continent is good, but the western part of North America is still a wasteland that will not be shit at this moment. If you want to cultivate and build it, it may not be able to develop it in a year or two, and it will take at least five years and ten years or even longer. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to consider a choice to die. While Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Empire was not rich in feathers in Nanjing, we will do our best to wipe out the Ming Empire in one fell swoop, so as not to leave behind the troubles of Chongzhen, which will cause endless harm. As long as the Ming Empire is destroyed, who else can stop us from dominating the world!"
Once this is said, the following also received a lot of applause.
At this time, Akihiro Hirata, who was born in the Self-Defense Force, walked up to the front desk and began to express his opinions:
"Kun Kobayashi just said that it seems that it is not difficult to destroy the Ming Empire. Well, let me talk about some data first and then make some analysis. On the eve of World War II, our country and Japan had 380,000 permanent troops, and four million reserve troops who served in the military behind the permanent troops; in terms of equipment, regardless of sea, land and air equipment, it has an overwhelming advantage over the Chinese army. Now, there are only 30,000 soldiers trained in hot weapons. In terms of equipment, except for the cross-age equipment that traveled through time, they are even worse than the Ming army in terms of equipment. Those cross-age equipment may be damaged at any time, and they will not know when they will be shut down because there are no spare parts. When there is no advantage in both soldiers and equipment, choose to go to war with the Ming Empire, which has unlimited human resources and a vast territory. Even if the flag is successful at the beginning, the subsequent development will inevitably be a protracted war. Unless a miracle happens, the final defeat is almost inevitable.
OK! Some people will say that Japanese soldiers in World War II have created miracles. A small team can even defeat the Chinese army and a battalion troops. But don’t forget that they were Japanese soldiers who had been rigorously trained for at least one year. The basic skills, tactics and combat effectiveness of Japanese infantry were claimed to be the world’s number one at the time, and it was completely the result of long-term and rigorous training. During World War II, Japanese top corps could hit 80% in the starting shot at 800 meters, and ordinary soldiers could hit the starter within 400 meters.
To reach 80%, in terms of individual combat capabilities and coordinated combat capabilities, the training level of Japanese soldiers in World War II was first-class, and they also had an absolute advantage in equipment. Even so, China was not destroyed in the end. Obviously, just because of Japan's existing assets, soldiers and equipment were not advantageous. Most soldiers tried to expedition to China in less than half a year and still hoped to succeed in one fell swoop. That was completely unrealistic. We are not lunatics, and we should never make such a gamble without any chance of victory."
Akihiro Hirata's words were a bit disappointing, but that's the case. Seeing this, the extreme right-winger Daisuke Fujino came out to smooth things out at the right time:
"Our discussion today is to revitalize Japan. Our goal is to dominate the world in the future. However, everything has to be done step by step. There is a saying among the Chinese: "Hardness is not achieved." You might as well compare how overwhelming Hitler's Germany had when it was launched during World War II. Regardless of technology, equipment, tactics, and individual combat capabilities, they were far ahead of the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union traded space for time with poor equipment, tactics, and poor individual combat capabilities.
, with the fighting style of fighting to destroy the German army. From this point of view, that little equipment that surpasses the times is not our reliance at all. Our reliance can only be like us. We have so many time travelers, and we also bring some technical information to the computers we carry with us. Only by relying on our talent advantages and technical information advantages, we can obtain sufficient resources, promote industrialization at the fastest speed, and gain an overwhelming lead. This is the real way to dominate Japan and truly establish the dominance of the world."
-------
In this way, Japanese time travelers from the 21st century repeatedly deduced the three choices summarized by Henglujin San. Some enthusiasts even used computers to deduce them. The result of the deduction is still: if they rashly start a war with the Ming Empire, the chance of victory is very small.
Although these Japanese time travelers have a Bushido complex and want to dominate the world, they are not so arrogant that they are ignorant of life. In the 21st century, Japanese men's expectations for life are more realistic. More people like women with "three low" flavors - low dependence, low posture, low risk, right! It is low risk, and not many people are willing to face too high risks.
There is no suspense in the voting result, and it is naturally the second choice. The reason is very clear. With the strength of Hitler, he cannot withstand the style of attrition. Japan has not even been completely unified yet, so let’s do your own business well. Besides, the place in North America is really desirable. If you don’t take it at this time, then when will you wait!
Finally, everyone's interest focused on eliminating the United States in its infancy, and the Eastward Progress Plan was successfully approved with the vast majority of approvals.
Zuo Maodi didn't know all these processes of the Japanese, but this visit to Japan seemed to be very successful. The Japanese expressed their due response to the Ming Dynasty's willingness to release the goodwill of Yoshino, the two sides discussed the position of non-aggression and signed a peace treaty.
However, the Japanese were sloppy in dealing with supporting the Qing army. First of all, the Japanese said they were powerless to someone smuggle arms and sell them to the Qing army, because Japan was divided into various vassals and it was really difficult to prevent smuggling arms and so on.
Of course, in exchange for the Ming Dynasty not to interfere with Japan's eastward advance to North America, the Japanese also made a lot of gestures, at least condemned, and there were also a lot of statements such as trying to eliminate them. Although Zuo Maodi was not satisfied with this cunning attitude, the main purpose was achieved, which was considered good. Don't say that Ruan Dacheng is not very good at character, and there is still a little solution to the negotiations. The scenes are just right, and there is no trace of turning around in a smooth way. Well, it is admirable.
Because of such a naive agreement, the Japanese in Manila did not choose to attack Zhang Xianzhong while the Ming army was escorting. However, after the Ming army escorted to the island nearest Luzon Road, there was no excuse for escorting. Of course, the Japanese could not let Zhang Xianzhong go to the island casually. At first, Zhang Dingguo's forward luckily landed on Luzon, but it was Zhang Xianzhong's turn to go to Luzon, so he would not have such good luck. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong was attacked by the Japanese, and Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured and lost thousands of troops.
