Chapter 476 Japan's Future (6)
On February 14, the Western Valentine's Day. Members of the Military Commission knew that there was such a Western festival, but they didn't expect it. From 1915 to the present, 12 years have passed, and we are either in war or preparing for war.
Now that peace finally comes, work has not only not decreased, but has increased. Great restoration is a process that every high-level soldier who has experienced many battles has never experienced. And ordinary officers and soldiers who have experienced a long war are eager to return to ordinary life.
From the beginning of the meeting, the report in the previous hour was made by Chief of General Staff Cheng Ruofan. 1 million troops responsible for the low-intensity civil war in the domestic land revolution, 1 million troops in the northeast and northwest, 1 million troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, 1 million troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as railway troops, transportation troops and other technical troops. In addition to the garrison troops and other troops, the National Defense Forces used an astonishing number of 5.4 million.
Under the great restoration, the number of Chinese troops will be reduced to 1.56 million standing troops, and at the same time, the 5.4 million troops must be retained. Most of the aspects involved in this will be the responsibility of the General Staff.
When Cheng Ruofan gave the report, the members of the Military Commission were not excited. Apart from He Rui, Xu Chengfeng, Cheng Ruofan, Zhong Yifu, Hu Xiushan, Zheng Silang, and the initial troops of the National Defense Forces were brought out by these five people. Although everyone did not think they had any mountain, and in front of He Rui, no one dared to have any involvement in this. But the reality is not so simple, and it is very troublesome to lay off which troops to be laid off.
He Rui had been prepared for this, "I think Comrade Zhou Yinshan can be responsible for this matter."
As soon as this statement was made, Xu Cheng Feng, Cheng Ruofan and others were stunned, but they didn't object. Zhou Yinshan was Xu Cheng Feng, the instructor of the Baoding Army Officer School, and then went to the Northeast Army and became the principal of the Northeast Army Academy. Whether it was Zhou Yinshan's character or qualifications, there was nothing to be criticized for. Especially the instructor's identity, this group of young senior officers could not blow up the thorns.
Zhou Yinshan didn't expect that he would have to take on such an important task, and hesitated when he looked at He Rui. He Rui continued to say: "The future war form will be a war with wide front, large depth, and ground-space integration. The battle of the Xiliguli Corridor has proved the power of this tactic. The troops suitable for this form of war will be army, brigade, and battalion. So I think that since each unit was initially battalion-level organization, when disarmament, the following principles can be adopted: All regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons with honorary titles will be retained to the division-level organization. What do you think?"
For a moment, the members of the Military Commission were a little confused. He Rui's suggestions would take some time to understand the following. However, the future war form proposed by He Rui had attracted the full attention of the members of the Military Commission, so that everyone was confused.
He Rui continued: "The Navy and Air Force are all retained. The 1.56 million permanent troops refer to the current number of troops. In the future, our air force and navy will increase. With the development of the Navy and Air Force, the total number of our army will reach 2 million in the future."
Cheng Ruofan first turned his mind around, and he asked happily: "Chairman, are you talking about organizing the current troops in the future form of war?"
He Rui nodded. The so-called future war will break out in 1939 at the latest 12 years later. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so where can there be time for the troops to make a long transition?
Xu Chengfeng and others were all happy to hear that they were about to prepare for the next war. Xu Chengfeng had realized that he was sincere and couldn't help but feel a little regretful about his hopeless soldier's personality.
"Chairman, with our naval development plan, can we meet our needs before the war?" General Hu Xiushan, Minister of General Logistics Department, asked slowly.
The General Logistics Department is responsible for military equipment, and Hu Xiushan is another person who is extremely delicate in his work. Hearing Hu Xiushan’s question, the eyes of the rest of the Military Commission fell on He Rui.
He Rui nodded, "I have my own arrangements."
Comrades all know that He Rui rarely uses such a vague statement, but once He Rui says this, there must be really arrangements, rather than having to temporarily perfunctory because he cannot solve the problem.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours, and the members of the Military Commission felt tired after high-density information exchange. A few words on this venue can often be written into tens of thousands of words. A single opinion may affect tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, as well as tens of billions and billions of military spending.
So when he was tired, the comrades of the Military Commission agreed to temporarily recess. When the other people walked out of the conference room to relax, Hu Xiushan did not leave. He sat next to He Rui and asked seriously: "Chairman, do you want to use the Japanese Navy?"
He Rui was actually a little surprised at Hu Xiushan's conclusion. In terms of urgent wisdom and intuition, Hu Xiushan, who was delicate in mind, was not as good as Cheng Ruofan. Therefore, what Hu Xiushan said must have been deduced and thought very seriously. The views proposed by Hu Xiushan this time were indeed He Rui's plans.
However, this kind of planning cannot be considered as a strategic consideration. Even if He Rui has been betting on this for a long time, it cannot be made public before the matter is finally completed. Looking at Hu Xiushan's calm expression, He Rui had to think about how to answer.
After thinking for a minute, He Rui replied: "If my expectations for the Japanese revolution have not become reality, or if there is any problem, I have another plan. The transformation of modern warfare is not only the army and the air force, but also the navy. Aircraft carriers that can release more firepower from a distance will become the core of the next war. The era of battleships is over. Even if we rely on our own development, we can complete the military technology and military equipment needed to achieve the next war before the war."
Hu Xiushan's eyes have become enthusiastic. If the Japanese Revolution is successful, Hu Xiushan will feel good. If the Japanese Revolution is successful, China can use the decades of construction achievements of the Japanese Navy, Hu Xiushan will feel better.
Even if these were not achieved, Hu Xiushan felt it was not important. He was concerned about the technological progress of the war itself. During this Sino-British War, the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China fought against the powerful Britain, proving that the military reforms that He Rui began to implement 12 years ago were completely correct.
In the Battle of the Siliguri Corridor, the scale of tanks was not large. Even if it was only once, Hu Xiushan saw a broader future, which is the next generation of war described by He Rui. Tanks made of armor and artillery combine maneuver and firepower. The use of a large number of tanks did put a huge pressure on the logistics, but the army composed of tanks and armored vehicles increased the intensity and intensity of the war to an unprecedented level. In combination with the various communication systems under development and the idea of air-ground integration, the war in the future is now considered a powerful British army to resist, just like a mantis armed chariot.
Hu Xiushan asked directly: "Chairman, what will the next military revolution be like?"
He Rui was stunned for a moment, and was both happy and a little grateful. Fortunately, Hu Xiushan's careful and meticulous personality, if it were someone else, he would inevitably have expectations for the Japanese revolution. Hu Xiushan thought of it and would not pay attention to this matter. Hu Xiushan's research on personality is of great benefit to the promotion of military development. This made He Rui very happy.
In that case, He Rui explained: "The next military revolution is based on the development of logical circuits. The current command system and combat weapons rely on a number of technical arms for operation. The next military revolution, soldiers carrying a rifle, knowing to shoot, and knowing to obey simple military orders will probably be eliminated. The next military revolution will be the operators of a large number of equipment. The various transportation equipment provided by the next military revolution are the carriers of new equipment in the next military revolution. The new equipment will provide 1 million times, 10 million times, or even hundreds of millions of times of computing power. In addition to computing power, war will exceed the distance that vision can reach, and will spread within dozens, hundreds, and thousands of kilometers. There are also global monitoring equipment to provide global monitoring."
Hu Xiushan was so intoxicated that he felt that he could understand what He Rui was describing, but the specific content was vague. After He Rui's brief description was completed, Hu Xiushan asked: "Chairman, are there any quantitative comparisons that I can imagine?"

"In the next war, the firepower that a warship can release will be equal to the sum of the firepower that a fleet will release in the next war. In army operations, an army can accurately strike within 1,000 kilometers with its own troops as the core. A 155 self-propelled cannon can accurately shoot an enemy artillery within 50 kilometers and hit the first shot."
Hu Xiushan still couldn't imagine what the war would look like after the next military revolution. But Hu Xiushan could already imagine the intensity of the war. Command, firepower, and accuracy completely exceeded the imagination limits of current soldiers.
Standing up, Hu Xiushan said to He Rui gratefully: "Chairman, I understand. Then I have no problem."
Looking at Hu Xiushan's back, He Rui only hoped that his description could help Hu Xiushan. However, based on the lack of any prototype equipment, He Rui did not dare to speculate whether Hu Xiushan could truly understand it.
Moreover, what He Rui most hoped for at this time was that the Japanese Revolution could be successful. As early as 1913, He Rui's future plan, promoting the success of the Japanese Revolution and establishing the Sino-Japanese joint naval force became one of the most preferred items to win the next global liberation war.
If China just wants to dominate the Pacific and Indian Ocean, Japan is not the object of China's need to unite. But what can China dominate the Pacific and Indian Ocean?
The United States is powerful because Roosevelt and other outstanding American strategists have built a new world order and through decades of efforts, they have built a new global order dominated by the United States.
The new order that China wants to establish must be a new global order, and can only be a new global order. The height of Chinese civilization accumulated over thousands of years, combined with the basic theory of industrialization of communism, is undoubtedly the most suitable civilization on the earth for the global order.
If it is a global order, East Asia and China's traditional sphere of influence must be the core region. That is to say, Japan, Myanmar, and Vietnam should be regarded as half of the mainland of China.
It is the 21st century, Puerto Rico belongs to the United States, and the residents of Puerto Rico are also American citizens. However, Puerto Rico does not have the right to directly participate in the US presidential election, and can only elect the Commissioner of the US House of Representatives without voting rights.

Although the strength of the United States in the 21st century was not affected by Puerto Rico, the level of American civilization treated Puerto Rico in this way can also be used as evidence of the U.S.'s final failure in the civilization competition between China.
He Rui is not hostile to the Japanese people, nor does he really like the Japanese people. To quote a sentence from Europe, "Put your neighbors around you not to love, but to love the Tatars who have never met in the distance." He Rui never had such a plot or sentiment.
If China wants to dominate the world order, it must first build a good relationship between China and its neighboring countries. Since the Japanese archipelago cannot move away from China, China must give Japan a bright future. This is determined by geopolitics and has nothing to do with He Rui’s own ideas.
Therefore, the first step for Japan's bright future is to complete the revolution. He Rui was born in the space and time. When MacArthur ruled Japan, he only completed a certain degree of land reform in Japan, which made the Japanese people love Supreme Emperor MacArthur from the bottom of their hearts. He Rui did not think that the revolution initiated by Ishihara, Heifengsheng and others whom he worked hard to cultivate would not be supported by the Japanese people.
Now, He Rui spent 12 years completing the first phase of the Chinese revolution and also completing external conditions for the Japanese revolution. Whether Ishihara and Heifengsheng can successfully launch and complete the revolution in Japan, He Rui can only look forward to and wish him.
On February 22, the Chinese government officially announced the plan for major disarmament. The next day, on February 23, the French government expressed appreciation for the Chinese government's plan for major disarmament. Le Figaro introduced the matter with a front-page headline and wrote in a news commentary, 'The Chinese government's disarmament plan is undoubtedly beneficial to world peace. Although the absolute number of 1.56 million standing troops will indeed make European countries scared, considering China's nearly 12 million square kilometers of territory, maintaining 1.56 million standing troops is not so terrifying.
Considering that the Soviet Red Army is around 2 million in the countries around China, the number of Japanese troops remains at 290,000. With hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops eyeing each other, 1.56 million standing troops are a reasonable number.
But I will continue to pay attention to China's disarmament situation. I hope the Chinese government can cut the current 540 troops to a reasonable scale of 1.56 million as they said, according to the schedule they set...'
British newspapers are also very concerned about this matter, but British newspapers are inevitably sarcastic, saying that most of the Chinese army's forces should be placed in the northeast and northwest to cope with the pressure from the Soviet Union.
On February 24, Soviet ambassador to China, Molotov, walked into He Rui's reception room at the agreed time. As soon as the door inside opened, He Rui walked out. Molotov stepped forward to shake hands with He Rui, and then said: "Chairman He, the article published in the Communist Youth League newspaper is Dimitrov's personal opinion of the Communist International and does not represent the attitude of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."

Molotov asked to see He Rui during this trip and wanted to pass on Comrade Stalin's handwritten letter to He Rui. After handing the letter to He Rui, Molotov told He Rui that the Soviet Political Bureau's high evaluation of the demilitarization of the Sino-Soviet border.
After listening quietly, He Rui said: "We hope that the Sino-Soviet border can always become a demilitarized zone. Although the peaceful relations between China and the Soviet Union are not targeted at third parties, China and the Soviet Union do not pose a security threat to each other, which is not only beneficial to China and the Soviet Union, but also to world stability."
Molotov fully agreed with this, and then Molotov mentioned another thing, "Recently, British and French newspapers promoted the Soviet Union's 2 million troops, which was purely fabricated. Now the number of the Soviet Red Army is only 600,000, and the Soviet Red Army is defensive."
He Rui knew that this was half true and half false. If it were a complete standing army, the Soviet Red Army might have only 600,000 in 1927. However, the number of people who could be recruited at any time might still be 2 million. But these don’t matter to China. As long as Stalin is still in power, with Comrade Stalin’s strategic level, the Soviet Union’s strategic priority will be very clear. Eastern Europe is the first, Central Europe and Northern Europe are the second and third respectively. The Caucasus and Central Asia are the fourth, and the Far East is the last.
As long as the Far East does not face real pressure, Comrade Stalin will not send the Soviet Red Army to the Far East to waste resources.
After talking about these safety issues, Molotov talked about Sino-Soviet imports and exports in the second quarter of 1927. The Soviet Union was very interested in China's large-scale set of mining equipment and supercritical thermal power plant technology. He hoped to deepen cooperation in this regard.
"Comrade Molotov, of course we are willing to cooperate with the Soviet Union in this regard, including the sale of patents. And we have an idea to import a portion of such equipment from the Soviet Union after the sale of the patents."
After hearing what He Rui said, Molotov became more interested. He stared at He Rui with bright eyes, hoping that he could hear what He Rui said more clearly.
He Rui was not prepared to make a vague statement, so he made further explanation. China authorized the Soviet Union to patent the Soviet Union and helped the Soviet Union build factories to produce these large equipment. After these factory equipment is completed, China will also place orders with these communists to purchase equipment produced by these factories.
After saying this, He Rui explained: "Since the Tsarist Russia period, Russia has accumulated a lot of research and accumulation in heavy industry. Although China is also working hard to build, our foundation is very thin and our production capacity is insufficient. So we hope to cooperate with the Soviet Union in these heavy industry fields."

Hearing this, Foreign Minister Yan Huiqing next to him was puzzled. If you import advanced technology, why not cooperate with Europe and the United States, but choose the Soviet Union, which is far inferior to Europe and the United States?
But since He Rui said this, and on such a formal occasion, Yan Huiqing was sure that He Rui was definitely not on a whim. He Rui's decision was the decision of the central government. Yan Huiqing did not interrupt...
The meeting continued in such a friendly atmosphere. Molotov was very friendly, but he also had a problem similar to Yan Huiqing. Why was He Rui so friendly and wanted to cooperate with the Soviet Union? Molotov had no right to refuse or agree, so he could only convey He Rui's ideas to the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
As soon as the meeting ended, someone sent a telegram. He Rui looked serious after reading it. Yan Huiqing didn't know what made He Rui so serious. But He Rui had no intention of talking to him, so Yan Huiqing was ready to pretend that he didn't see it.
Then He Rui asked: "Minister Yan, an uprising broke out in North Korea."
Yan Huiqing was stunned and felt a little happy. But looking at He Rui's expression, he didn't know why He Rui looked like he was no one or happy.
