Chapter 768: Japan (12)
A strong collectivist complex is deeply rooted in modern Japanese society and the perception of the Japanese people, and has formed a universal national character. The Japanese spirit of obedience and sacrifice is conducive to the development of organized, standardized, and standardized modern industrial production, and is also conducive to the establishment of a society governed by the rule of law.
However, this spirit of obedience and sacrifice can also be exploited by careerists, because of Japan's collective blind obedience character, the whole country will be thrown into a state of spiral out of control. The Japanese alone acted cautiously wherever they went, and were bold once a group was formed.
In the face of such a dangerous nation, the Far East, of course, cannot sit idly by. History has proven that Japan should never be given the slightest chance, and once the Chinese nation falls into turmoil, it will be the first to show its fangs. Of course, it is unrealistic to kill all the Japanese, and the best way to solve the problem of Japan is to destroy their superstructure of rule.
Only by living in a hierarchical relationship where "each has his own place and his own place" can Japanese people feel safe and secure from the bottom of their hearts. lost
After shattering Japan's traditional ruling class, the Far East will re-establish order in Japan by taking advantage of the social structure of "respecting the inferior, the noble and the low, the upper and lower, and the elder and the younger" to which the common people at the bottom of Japan are accustomed to it. Later, the object of allegiance of the low-level civilians in Japan also became the Far East, and of course, it still took a lot of work and a long time for them to get used to it.
The company has selected a group of activists from the Japanese death army and Japanese foreign workers, and the company's propaganda and education department and the political department of the military commission have systematically trained them.
After the occupation of Japan, the company will militarize the low-level civilians throughout Japan. Squeeze their value to the fullest and let them serve the Far Eastern company. In any case, the character of the Japanese does have merit, at least the best candidates for serfs, miners and cannon fodder.
After the Far Eastern Army occupied Tsushima Island, it requisitioned all the civilians on the island and sent them by ship to the landing site of the Far Eastern Army on Kyushu Island. Served as a strong coolie for the Far Eastern Army. The women of Tsushima were all shipped back to Liaodong, where they would marry a peasant family in Liaodong this winter, and perhaps become pregnant next spring.
In the next few days, the Far East began to sweep the islands off the coast of Kyushu, such as Iki Island, Nakatsu Island, and Goto, and completely swept away the waters near Kyushu Island. Numerous warships carrying the first detachments of the Eastern Army, the Western Army, and the Southern Army landed on the coast of Kyushu Island.
For a time, the various feudal domains of Kyushu, including Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Higo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Hyuga, were attacked by the Far East almost simultaneously. The Far Eastern Army has a field division, eight overseas brigades, two death brigades, a mountain brigade, four cavalry divisions in the Outer Northeast, and more than a dozen militia brigades in the Outer Northeast, with a total strength of 140,000 troops.
Daimyo and feudal lords from all over Kyushu Island. Immediately panicked, they didn't expect the Far East Army to send troops to attack Kyushu Island. None of the daimyo in Japan, including the Tokugawa shogunate, believed that the Far East would invade Japan. In their view, the Far East would support the Satsuma Domain in Japan, and it would not be possible to swallow the whole of Japan in one gulp.
However, this time, the Far Eastern Army sent a large army to land in Kyushu, not only to attack the daimyo who had defected to the Saga Domain, but also to the daimyo who had always supported Satsuma and joined the Kyushu coalition. A fierce attack was launched.
The daimyo from all over Kyushu thought that they could be regarded as a Kyushu coalition army and participated in the Shogunate War with the Satsuma Domain. It can be regarded as a gang with the Far East, so they were all caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties in the fierce attack of the Far East.
Many daimyo did not even do a good job of defending the feudal city, and they were defeated by the Far East in one fell swoop. The various units of the Far Eastern Army were very ferocious, as long as the daimyo of any feudal castle or jinya dared to resist, they and their families were extremely subordinate retainers and samurai. will be slaughtered bloodily, so to speak, chickens and dogs will not be left.
The Satsuma clan led the Kyushu coalition to fight the shogunate for several months, and the samurai of the entire Kyushu were mobilized several times, and even the young and strong were forcibly recruited several times. The military strength on Kyushu Island has been weakened a lot, and its combat effectiveness is less than 30% of what it used to be.
In addition, in addition to the daimyo of the Saga Domain, who defected in the War of the Shogunate, the defense was also strengthened, and other people welcomed the arrival of the Far Eastern Army, and even many daimyo even prepared a large number of supplies for the Far Eastern Army, hoping to establish good relations with the Far Eastern Army.
Unexpectedly, the Far Eastern Army turned its face and didn't recognize people, and didn't care about that at all. The speed of the army's attack was very fast, as long as it was the forces of Kyushu Island, they would immediately be beaten with a fat blow on their heads and faces, and many times it was the four main cavalry divisions in the outer northeast that directly rushed into some undefended daimyo castles.
In just half a month, more than 20 feudal cities and houses on Kyushu Island were easily taken down by the Far East. The army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves armed to the teeth in the Far East, facing the elite Kyushu Island, is simply killing chickens with a knife.
BTR-armored transport vehicles, uaz-469 jeeps, uaz-452 light off-road vehicles, Type 32A airships, delta-wing aircraft, as well as artillery of various calibers, and forty or fifty thousand cavalry from the Outer Northeast, even if it is enough to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
In just over 20 days, more than a dozen samurai daimyo lords and family members, including the Nabeshima family, the Ogasawara family, the Omura family, the Arima family, the Okuhei family, the Kinoshita family, the Naito family, and the Akizuki family, as well as their retainers and dependents, were arrested by the Far East and then handed over to the death army units under Fujita. These daimyo lords and their retainers fell into the hands of Fujita's beasts, and the fate can be imagined.
Moreover, this time, the Far East captured a large number of low-level samurai and ashigaru under various daimyos, and they were also handed over to Fujita's death army to dispose of. In less than a month, the entire Kyushu was filled with a rich color of blood.
Batches of Japanese daimyo lords and their family heirs, as well as their retainers and samurai, were systematically disposed of, and the process was extremely secretive and not made public. Many retainers and samurai who escaped by luck also thought that these people were imprisoned in the Far East.
A large number of warships in the Far East tightly sealed the Kanmon Strait and the Seto Inland Sea, and the ships along the coast were basically gathered up, making it look like Kyushu Island was not allowed to go to sea, so that some of the daimyo closest to Kyushu Island, including the Choshu Domain across the sea, and some daimyo of Shikoku, did not know what was going on in Kyushu for a short time.
In the entire Kyushu Island, only the Shimazu family and retainers of Satsuma are left. Because the Satsuma clan will still play a certain role in the future, they will not be touched for the time being, but in the end, they will not be able to escape the butcher's knife in the Far East.
