This is also the reason why "after the chaos there must be great governance". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the perspective of the common people, living in poverty in the midst of the "great chaos" cannot even guarantee even basic living conditions, and once the war is over and the peace is stabilized, it is natural that they will live and work in peace and contentment and cherish the hard-won peace and stability.

From the perspective of the ruling class, they have learned lessons from the "great chaos" and know that only when the people live and work in peace and contentment will they not return to the "troubled times", that is, some people will rebel against the ruling class and fight for the world, so they will also devote themselves to economic development to appease the people.

At the same time, whether it is the ruling class or the common people...... the living conditions during the "great chaos" and other aspects are poor, that is, the starting point is low, and the ruling class will make progress with a little governance, so the people will have more confidence in the ruling class, and the position of the ruling class will be more stable.

As a result, the ruling class and the common people worked together towards a single goal, and the world was governed.

On the contrary, if it is too peaceful for a long time, the starting point of the people's demands for materials and the ruling class will be higher, and the ruling class will often gradually slack off and fall into the struggle for power, money, and interests and become corrupt, so that the ruling class and the people will be in a state of opposition again, until the conflict will break out again when the contradictions are intensified.

This is also the so-called "the world must be divided for a long time, and the world must be divided for a long time", and every country in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, is interpreting the alternation of "great chaos" and "great governance" again and again.

At this time, the puppet state of Manchukuo had just ended the "great chaos...... To be more precise, it is the end of the "Great Chaos" period, and whether it will enter the period of "Great Rule" depends on whether the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the people of Northeast China can successfully defeat the Japanese and resist the counterattack of other Japanese troops.

However, one thing is certain: the people of Northeast China, who were unwilling to return to the oppressive rule of the Japanese army, fully supported the stationing of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the people in Luda and Shenyang...... There is never a shortage of labor in ports and railway stations, and the people spontaneously organize the carrying tasks; There is never a shortage of workers in factories and mines, and workers consciously organize their work; There is no shortage of soldiers in the militia units, and young people are lining up in a long line to sign up...... The expeditionary force was even worried that too many laborers would be conscripted into the militia and would affect agricultural production, so they had to mention the conditions for conscription again and again.

After Zhang Chi roughly arranged these things, he once again embarked on the journey to catch up with the footsteps of the first and second regiments...... The front line is inseparable from Zhang Chi's command, especially the most important forward at this time, that is, the first and second regiments, and whether their attack is smooth or not directly determines the fate of the entire expeditionary force.

Shenyang is of course important, but the importance of Shenyang lies in the fact that it is the transportation hub and industrial center of the puppet Manchurian state, but it is not the command center and military center of the puppet Manchurian state...... At this time, the Japanese army eliminated only one division and two wings (122nd Division and 123rd Division).

In other words, the Chinese army defeated only the tip of the iceberg of the Japanese Third Front Army stationed in Manchuria.

If the Chinese Expeditionary Force were content with the status quo stationed in Shenyang, it would face two problems:

First, the Japanese army of the puppet state of Manchukuo soon assembled in large numbers and became a major problem located north of Shenyang.

Second, Shenyang does not have any defensive depth, and will directly face a strong enemy from the east, west and south, and may even be cut off from Lushun by the Japanese army from the north and become a lone army.

Therefore, the Chinese Expeditionary Force must unswervingly continue the "blitzkrieg" offensive, with a view to crushing the relatively scattered forces of the Japanese Third Front Army before it has time to assemble and organize an effective defense, or even before the counteroffensive, and if it cannot be defeated, it must at least be greatly damaged and unable to pose too much threat to Shenyang in a short period of time, so that it will not be attacked from several sides in the future counterattack of the Japanese army.

The most important of these is Changchun...... The capital of the puppet Manchu state can also be said to be the command center of the puppet Manchukuo.

In the half-track armored car, Zhang Chi stared thoughtfully at Changchun on the map under the light of a rickety flashlight...... As long as Changchun is taken, the Japanese Third Front Army may fall into a chaotic situation without command, and at the same time, it will also hit the confidence and morale of the Japanese army to a considerable extent, further shake the Japanese army's control of Manchuria, and may even cause an avalanche surrender of the puppet army.

Of course, this is only possible

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Chi felt a dry and stinging pain in his eyes, so he turned off his flashlight and put away the map, leaned back on the seat and rubbed his forehead...... The tasks of the first two days were completed quite well, and it can even be said that they exceeded expectations, such as taking Shenyang and seizing a large number of equipment and factories so smoothly.

But these can also be said to be normal...... This is actually the benefit of "blitzkrieg", with sufficient intelligence and preparation, launch a lightning-fast attack on the enemy, so that the enemy will fall apart before he has time to react, so it is natural that there will be more loot.

It's just that Zhang Chi knows that as the war progresses, the enemy's intelligence and preparations will become more and more, and the battle will become more and more difficult.

Just when Zhang Chi closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly there was a not-so-dense gunfire on the side of the road...... In fact, the gunfire was dense enough, but Zhang Chi was used to the firepower of American equipment, so he didn't take this gunfire seriously.

The convoy soon stopped, and the fighters jumped out of their cars and laid protective rings against the terrain...... This is due to discreet and relaxed security considerations.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chi asked.

Staff Officer Liang guessed: "It may be that our army is purging the remnants of the enemy!" ”

"Master!" Zhang Qingji, the commander of the guard company, reported: "Two unidentified armed forces are engaged in a shootout five miles away! The total strength is about one battalion! ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi asked, "How did you get the information so quickly?" ”

"Isn't our army purging the remnants of the enemy?" Staff Officer Liang asked.

"It's not our army, and I don't get any information!" Zhang Qingqi replied: "You can hear it by listening to the gunshot!" ”

Zhang Chi listened carefully to the gunshot, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively.

The rifles used by the two armed forces are all 38 big covers, and there are some Hanyang-made and box cannons and the like, but there is no gunfire from the M1 rifle, so Zhang Qingji's judgment is correct.

"Strange!" Staff Officer Liang said: "In addition to our army, how can there be other armed forces fighting in this area......

After being silent for a while, Zhang Qingqi lay on the ground and listened carefully, and then reported: "Master, it is very likely that it is a horse thief, I heard the sound of horses' hooves!" And...... The horse thief has the upper hand! ”

"Oh?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be impressed by this Zhang Qingqi, he could not only see that it was a horse thief, but also judged that the horse thief had the upper hand.
