Chapter 255: On the streets of Tokyo, Kawada Ai, who is 1.75 meters tall and dressed in military uniform, stands out in the crowd.

From time to time, when a young girl passes by, she will look up at this tall soldier. When she is stared back at, the girl will blush with shame, bow quickly and then run away in small steps.

"Kawada-kun!" A clear cry came out. Kawada looked back and saw a girl wearing a female high school uniform running towards her. "Finally, I caught up, Kawada-kun. This is the bento I made. Please give me more

Please give me some advice." The girl handed the lunch box to Kawada Ai, turned around and ran away without waiting for his answer.

What is the name of this female high school student? Kawada Ai can't remember clearly. She seems to be the youngest daughter of the Watanabe family next door to the landlord's house. In the city of Tokyo, a man like Kawada Ai, who is not from a high background, can actually get

He is favored by many girls because of his height and face.

A year ago, Mr. Lu served in the 16th Regiment of the Japanese Army after graduation. Because of his outstanding performance, he was recommended to mainland China. In the final exam of the first grade, Ai Kawada ranked first with excellent results. Especially during the Qingdao War, Kawada

Wei expressed some opinions, which were fulfilled one by one. He was hailed as a rising star of the Japanese Army University. Well, the Japanese just like to do these things, what twin stars, what three carriages and so on. Think about it carefully

Think about it, the so-called Warring States Period in Japan is just a competition between some village chiefs. It is a competition at the level of county chiefs, but it was actually called to the sky by Japan, and it was given a lot of loud nicknames.

The clanking tram came, and Ai Kawada got on the bus to attend a military research meeting. This research meeting was jointly initiated by Nagata Tetsuzan and Ishihara Kanji, specializing in the study of the Chinese [***] team.

Kawada was introduced by an instructor, and today is the first time to participate. Kawada has been working hard to make himself better. Only in this way can he climb higher in the Japanese army.

The meeting place was in a small courtyard, two floors upstairs. Kawada Wei carried a lunch box and a box of sake, walked to the door and knocked on the door. A Japanese major who opened the door glanced at Kawada and said with a smile: "It's Lu Da

Second-year junior Kawada-kun?"

"It's me, senior?" Kawada Ai bowed extremely respectfully.

"Shizhong Fufen, this courtyard is my home. Please come in. You came very early, and no one else has arrived." Shizhong Fufen didn't have any airs. After inviting Kawada Ai to come in and sit down, he glanced at his hands.

He asked with a smile: "What? Did you bring something with you?"

"It's my first time to meet you seniors. It's just a small thing, so please take care of me." After Kawada knelt down, he pushed a box of sake forward with both hands. Ishizaka opened the box with a smile and saw that there were two exquisite wooden boxes.

There were bottles of sake in porcelain bottles. Ishizaka was a little surprised and said: "Kiku Masamune? This is not cheap!"

"My father used to do business in Nanyang. He passed away a few years ago and left some inheritance. I am alone and have no place to spend money, so this expense is nothing. Senior, please don't refuse!"

"Oh, that's it. That's acceptable. I have to hide it, lest I be discovered by that guy with a sharp nose later." Shi Zhong became even more enthusiastic. He picked up the wooden box and hid it in the right place. There was something at the door.

The man said loudly: "Shi Zhongjun, don't hide anymore, I can already smell the fragrance of Ju Zhengzong."

Kawada Ai was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, "What's the nose?" When he looked back, he saw a short guy wearing a kimono and wearing geta. After he came in, he glanced at Kawada and said with a smile: "Is it Kawada-kun? I heard Yanai-kun.

Mentioned you."

Hidemori Yanai, Kawada Ai's senior, was assigned to the General Staff after graduation. By chance, he joined this research association. Kawada Ai was very popular among his classmates because he was generous. Kawada, the Japanese who adopted him at the time,

, indeed left a considerable legacy, a total of more than 300,000 yen, plus the 50,000 ocean fund received before departure, this money has played a huge role in the past few years.

"Let's drink it before anyone arrives." Ishizaka put down the wooden box with a smile. There is a high chance that Ishihara won't be able to keep the things that Ishihara stared at. Ai Kawada held the lunch box in his hand.

He opened it and said with a smile: "Just in time, when I was going out, the daughter of the neighbor next door forced it on me. Seniors, let's try it."

"Hahaha, this is good!" Ishihara Wanji was really polite. He opened the lunch box, took the sake and held it in his hands, as if he would not let go. Ishizaka took the cup and placed it on the small table in the middle.

On top, the three of them sat down on their knees and drank.

After drinking a glass of wine, Ishihara smiled and praised: "Good wine, I don't know if I can still drink such a good wine twenty years later." As soon as he said this, Ishizaka frowned slightly, and Kawada was afraid.

With a stern look on their face, they are all smart people and they all know the meaning of these words. With the rise of China, Japan's living space in Asia has naturally been backlogged, especially after the Army suffered a defeat in China, its life is very short.

sad.

"The Chinese Expeditionary Force has achieved a glorious victory in Europe. It is really shocking! The future of the Imperial Army is worrying!" Kawada Ai showed a concern for the country and the people. He picked up the wine glass and drank it on his back. He lowered his head and said loudly:

"Both of you are seniors. Please give me some advice if you dare to speak inappropriately."

"Kawada-kun, please continue." Ishizaka said with a smile, and Kawada said loudly: "I think it is an extremely serious mistake for the military to not send troops to Europe in exchange for economic and military assistance from Britain and France to our country. China's

Fang Jianxiong can be described as far-sighted on this issue. The Chinese sent troops in exchange for a large amount of military equipment, and at the same time won a large number of material orders from Britain and France. The leather equipment, military food, textiles and other military supplies produced by the Chinese were continuously shipped to Europe.

With the help of sending troops to Europe, the Chinese have got rid of the situation of providing raw materials to Britain and France. These orders have greatly stimulated the rapid development of Chinese industry. At the same time, Japanese products have lost a large number of orders and the Chinese market, and even from

The origin of China's raw materials has also been lost. Now Britain and France are on the side of the Chinese, and the customs has to be handed back. But what about Japan? Except for a few small islands in the South Pacific, they have found nothing."

"Well said!" A voice came from the door, and it was Nagata Tetsuzan who appeared at the door. After coming in, he saw the sake on the table, Nagata smiled and said: "It seems that I have a good taste! Mr. Ishizaka, excuse me." Nagata and Ishi

Zhongbufen is a classmate of Lu University and has a good relationship with him.

After sitting down, Nagata Tieshan glanced at Kawada and said, "Is it Mr. Kawada from mainland China? I've heard about his name for a long time! I've already read your article about the advanced tactics of China's army. It's very interesting.

Be inspired!”

"I also read it. Mr. Kawada pointed out in the article that China's army has a huge equipment advantage and has evolved new tactics. However, the empire's resources are only so few. In this regard, we have inherent shortcomings compared with China. Emperor [*

**] Preparation development, focusing on the navy, and how the army can catch up with and surpass the China army, Kawada-kun did not propose a corresponding solution." Ishihara Wanji spoke unhurriedly, waiting for Kawada Ai's answer with interest.

"I think that first we should seek reconciliation with China. The empire needs a market and a large amount of foreign exchange to purchase resources. Between countries, old grudges can be completely abandoned for the sake of interests. Purchasing raw materials from China is definitely more cost-effective than purchasing from Europe and the United States.

Secondly, where should the empire develop? This is a question. Now it is impossible for the empire to seek the development of mainland China from within. After the Sino-Japanese War, almost all the Japanese in China were

The expulsion was complete, and the government's wrong decision-making caused huge irreparable losses to Japan. The difficulties facing the empire were huge, but as a soldier, you must be adequately prepared. Whether you go south or north, once the government

The ax and the military headquarters make the decision, and we must do our best to win. Personally, the best direction for the empire to seek development is to go north. Europe has given China a chance, and it has also given the empire a chance. The Russians are

In front of the German army, it was a complete defeat. Once there is internal unrest in Russia, it will be an excellent opportunity for the empire. Of course, this opportunity is difficult to wait for, but even so, it is better than going south."

Kawada Ai's forward-looking remarks were forcibly instilled and remembered when he was in Wuhan. As time goes by, the man who told him these things is leading an emerging China towards a world power.

He took solid steps. Kawada Ai often looked alone at night in the direction of the mainland, crying silently. The excited tears made his determination more firm. The man told him that if China wants to rise again, it can only step on it.

Japanese corpse.

Regarding the civil strife in Russia, the three of them automatically ignored it. Russia is an ally of Britain and France, and the possibility of civil strife is very small.

"Oh? Why is it not good to go south? Can you tell me the reason?" Nagata Tetsuzan asked with a smile. Kawada Ai looked stern after hearing this. He reached out and took out a map from his backpack and pointed to the mark on the map: "Senior

Let's see, what are we going to face when we go south? Europe may make Britain and France weaker, but it is still much stronger than Japan. Unless the Germans win Europe, let alone Britain and France, the United States will be enough.

Let the empire not dare to act rashly. With the strength of the empire, there is no possibility of winning against the United States."

"According to what you said, where is the hope for the empire?" Shi Zhongfu asked suddenly and sternly. Kawada Ai didn't show any stage fright at all. He stiffened his neck and said loudly: "I said, go north! Only by going north can the empire have hope.

Only the Army has hope."

Everyone here was speechless. What Kawada Ai just said has indeed hit the point. Going south is the direction led by the navy, and the army can only take action. As far as the current resource allocation of Japan's armaments is concerned, the navy already occupies the absolute majority.

Advantages. After the Sino-Japanese War, the navy made some concessions and the army's standing divisions increased to twenty. However, this increase is really nothing compared to the expansion of the Chinese army.
