Chapter 212 Provoking conflicts

"Oh no, Mr. Kawada hasn't chosen where to work yet?" When Shi Yuan suddenly remembered this, the car had already arrived under the sign of Kawada's house. Wu Wei opened the door and got out of the driveway: "Don't go in, I don't have time to accompany you today.

you drink."

"Oh, you ruthless guy!" Shi Yuan joked with a smile. Wu Wei ignored him and turned to knock on the door.

There was a sound from inside: "Here we come!" The door opened, and Wu Wei faced his Japanese wife and smiled and said: "I'm back." The Japanese are human beings too. When the wife saw her husband suddenly appearing, she stood at the door and burst into tears, choking and saying:

"Thank you for your hard work!" Shi Yuan saw this and drove away quickly. Wu Wei stepped forward and hugged his wife and said, "Okay, am I back safely?"

Putting aside the gossip between the couple, Wu Wei rested at home for three days. No one came except the first day. From the second day onwards, the house was full of guests, and officers kept coming to visit. This shows how popular this guy is.

The officers were very concerned about the decision of the military department. Hetian was very tight-lipped and said nothing. When asked urgently, he just responded with "military secrets". On the fourth day, Wu Wei couldn't stay any longer and told his wife.

"I'm going to go away for a while. I'm too tired from socializing every day." The wife smiled proudly, bowed slightly and said, "If a man wants to do big things, why not stay at home all day?"

"Didn't I think I would have time to spend with you and the children? I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to live peacefully even if I was hiding at home."

After leaving the door, Wu Wei called a rickshaw and rushed to the military headquarters. When he arrived at the military headquarters, he was greeted by Tojo Hideki. After a few polite words, Tojo Hideki said: "Kawada-kun, I

I suggest you go to the Far East or Korea. No one in the Imperial Army knows the details of the Squadron better than you."

"Tojo-kun, with all due respect, I don't want to go to either of these places." Wu Wei declined with a smile. Tojo Hideki asked strangely: "Why? Can you tell me the reason?" Wu Wei said: "His Excellency Shigeru Honjo, Commander of the Far East Garrison.

Mijin, the commander of the North Korean garrison, both of them are generals who advocate offense. My views are exactly the opposite, so I am unwilling to serve under them."

"Well, that's it. Sit down and tell me your point of view." Tojo Hideki attached great importance to Wu Wei's opinion and wanted to know why he opposed the attack. Wu Wei pondered for a while and then said: "Japan is an island country.

Once China and Japan start a war, the main battlefield can only be on the sea, and the Imperial Navy will be the main force. Although I do not want to admit this fact, the fact is the fact. Please look at the map. This is the Korean Peninsula with a long and narrow terrain. Once the navy is defeated, it will lose

After gaining control of the sea, the Chinese can land at any place. It can be said that they are impossible to guard against. North Korea has no military industrial enterprises and without domestic supplies, the war will be difficult to last for too long. This problem is more prominent in the flat Far East, where the Chinese mechanized groups can move quickly.

, cut off the connection between Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. Use part of the force to surround Shuangchengzi Fortress, while the main force continues to the east. Without control of the sea, how can Vladivostok be defended? So I advocate defense, and the defense ideas in the two places are different."

Tojo handed over a cup of tea. Kawada took it and said, "Thank you." "What you said is very good, please continue."

"North Korea's defense should make full use of the complex terrain in the northern mountainous area, and defend step by step with a small number of troops. The main force should be concentrated in the south, ready to attack the Chinese troops conducting landing operations at any time. In the Far East, the focus should be on strengthening the Shuangchengzi fortress in order to

A small number of troops will hold on to hold back the Chinese navy for a long time, while Vladivostok should build more forts. Once the navy is defeated, some routes can be blocked with mines so that the Chinese navy cannot launch attacks from the sea."

"So that's it. Then Kawada-kun should go to these two places and use your talents to influence the two commanders. Ishihara-kun is in the Far East. Although he is arrogant, he is very talented. I think he can play a big role."

Function. You go to North Korea, Mr. Mizu admires you very much and should be able to listen to your opinions."

"In that case, then I will go to North Korea." Kawada obeyed, and Tojo smiled and said: "That's right, so I don't have a headache how to arrange Kawada-kun." The matter was decided, and Wu Wei met Ishihara just after he came out.

When this guy saw Wu Wei, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Are you going to meet that guy who can't even manage a few machine guns?"

Wu Wei frowned and said, "Shi Yuan-kun, if you stay like this, I will ignore you."

"Okay, tell me how you told Tojo-senpai where you decided to go." It was really difficult for the word "senpai" to be used to refer to Tojo from Ishihara's mouth.

"I know you are deeply dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the Nanyang war, but in my opinion, the Far East is more important than Nanyang." As soon as he said the beginning, Ishihara dragged Wu Wei out of the door and rushed to the General Staff Headquarters.

, when he arrived at the door of Nagata's office, he pushed the door open without knocking. Nagata, who was busy at work, saw these two people and was not angry. He smiled and asked: "Kawada-kun, have you decided to go to North Korea? I still want to keep you here.

The General Staff is here to help. Tojo-kun insisted again and again, and the minister supported him."

Wu Wei was actually very aware of these matters in the Army Ministry, but he did not get involved. As a result, both parties felt that he was one of their own, and both felt that Kawada Wei was the same kind. Nagata stood up, invited the two of them to sit down, and made tea with his own hands.

"After the victory in Nanyang, there was an unusual excitement in the army. They thought that we had even defeated the British devil, who was once the number one in the world, and there was no reason why we could not defeat China. This kind of thinking is very bad and will ruin the great cause of the empire.

." Ishihara Wanji spoke with a strong tendency, implying that the current Minister of War, Gen Sugisugi, and the Chief of Military Affairs, Hideki Tojo, were both brainless and bellicose.

"It's simply crazy. After more than 20 years of development, China's industrial capacity has been far stronger than that of the Empire. Last year, the Empire's steel output was only 5 million tons, while China's has reached 30 million tons. What will we get if we fight against China?

To fight against China's mechanized troops? Now the empire must seize the time to develop. The Far East and North Korea must hurry up to stock up on combat supplies and build fortifications. I doubt that the Chinese can give the empire a year at most, or even less!" Wu Wei said in a surprising way.

, the expressions of the two people present were a little unbelievable, and they both asked: "What is your reason?"

"Reason? What other reasons are needed? What did China rely on to develop its industry? It introduced capital from foreign countries, of which American capital accounted for more than 80%. Now that the United States has entered the war, China can still survive under the pressure of the United States.

How long can we hold on? A war between China and Japan is almost inevitable! Think about it from another perspective, with China’s military strength, how can we tolerate the empire strangulating China’s maritime transportation lines? You two, don’t have any illusions. Based on this inference, the first

First, the navy cannot be defeated. Second, improve local air defense capabilities and early warning mechanisms. Third, increase the production of Zero fighters. I have not told Tojo-kun these words." Wu Weiyue said with an increasingly serious expression. Nagata and Ishihara

They all looked deeply convinced.

"He wouldn't believe it even if I told him. He even threatened to take the initiative to attack China and take advantage of the fierce battle between China and the Soviet Union to solve the China problem with a decisive battle." Nagata Tetsuzan looked helpless. Among the Japanese army, this kind of brainlessness

Yiboliu has a huge market.

"A decisive battle, according to my opinion, is the most popular thing for the Chinese people. These brainless guys know how to fight tooth and nail." Ishihara Wan'er cursed unhappily, and Wu Wei said with worry on his face: "The main thing is that the navy is here

After the meritorious service in Nanyang, everyone in the army felt that they had lost face, and everyone believed that the army should lead the future of the empire. If the emperor cannot give up this kind of struggle of will, the future direction of the war will be worrying. "

"I don't think you've heard this in front of me. I won't recognize you after I leave this door!" Wu Wei added, and Nagata and Ishihara smiled helplessly. This is the characteristic of Wu Wei. He can't offend anyone, but his

The point of view was correct and extremely far-sighted. Neither of them realized that Wu Wei had been intentionally or unintentionally stirring up conflicts between the militant faction and the cautious faction in the army.

"Kawada-kun goes to the North Korean Garrison Headquarters as Chief of Staff. Before leaving, he must convince others at the military meeting to adopt a defensive strategy against China. Taking the initiative to attack is tantamount to doing what China wants. Attacking from North Korea will not necessarily affect the Yalu River.

If we can fight it, attack from the Far East, and the Chinese tanks are just waiting for us to come to our doorstep and kill us." Nagata still persuaded me more gently. Wu Wei thought about it and said, "I'll try my best! But I don't think the success is big.

I had no intention of going to North Korea, but Senior Tojo valued me so much that I had no choice but to agree to it. If you think about it carefully, I might be able to prevent the North Korean garrison from acting rashly in North Korea."

"There is another question. The military department is going to expand the army again and plans to increase it to 200 divisions." Shi Yuan mentioned another troublesome matter. Wu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why do we need so many armies now? We must seize domestic production resources.

is the most important thing. Not to mention the distance, with the current domestic maritime transportation capacity, it will take at least a week to transport three divisions to Shanghai, China. From Singapore to Calcutta, India, transporting three divisions at a time is

Limit. Why can't we seize the time to increase shipping capacity? During the Washington Naval Treaty, the Navy built a bunch of treaty heavy cruisers, which are all a waste now. At that time, using the steel used to build warships to build tanks or cargo ships for the Army was useless.

The heavy patrol force."

In Mumbai, 12 Mustang fighter jets appeared over the airport. British Commander Alexander looked up at the 12 Chinese fighter jets and said: "One squadron!" Staff officer Runes next to him quickly whispered: "One squadron of Chinese.

Four fighters, this is a group, a wing of 120 fighters. Their organization is very strange, the bomber wing is 100."

"The backward Chinese people, the British Empire has actually fallen to the point where it has to be saved by the Chinese!" Alexander stared at the fighter planes parked at the airport with deep resentment.
