Chapter 594 North Korean Confrontation Second Request Subscription

In Tokyo, Japan, because of the Sino-British "Hong Kong Treaty", the entire Japanese high-level was shaken. Although Britain and Japan did not sign a paper treaty, the two sides had a verbal agreement, and the war against China was also relatively tacit. Because of the presence of Britain, Japan did not have the slightest worries and threw all its already tight finances into the war. It even sent one-third of its own troops to North Korea. Japan is ready to join hands with Britain to defeat China at one time, and may not even hesitate to block the national fortunes again. The British were also very strong at that time, and their domestic troops and advanced weapons were continuously transported to the Far East and put into the battlefield in Burma. Although the British army suffered frequent defeats like the Japanese army, the Japanese top brass believed that with Britain's influence in the world and the support of its vast colonial resources, once China and Britain really stumbled, with the assistance of the Great Japanese Empire, the largest power in the Far East, the elimination of China was just around the corner.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny. The Japanese never imagined that the British Empire, as the world's largest power, would reneg on the alliance and sign a peace treaty with China. The shock was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"Yaga, Yaga! What the hell is going on, and why did the British sign an armistice and peace treaty with China? The Emperor roared loudly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this matter is too secretive, and we have not received valid information before. The top priority was to focus on the Korean battlefield. Once China and Britain ceased war, they would inevitably devote all their energies to Korea, and the pressure on the Imperial Japanese Army would be even greater. Shan County Youpeng said with an anxious face. He really couldn't understand what was going on in this world, the rise of the Great Japanese Empire was full of luck, but since China had a Feng Yong, the good fortune of this world seemed to be far away from Japan. Several Sino-Japanese wars, the Great Japanese Empire was completely suppressed. Yamaguchi did not believe that China was the nemesis of the Japanese Empire, so when China and Britain went to war, this old militarist thing jumped up and down, excited, thinking that this time it could finally eliminate the hidden danger of China. But Shan County Youpeng wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect it to be such a result in the end.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, a prototype of Mitsubishi's new aircraft has been produced. At most, we will have advanced planes participating in the war in half a month, and the pressure on the DPRK army will not be so great at that time. Masaki Terauchi said.

"Damn the British, now that they have withdrawn from the war with China, I am afraid that the war loan they promised to the Great Japanese Empire is hopeless. With the finances of the empire, it was very difficult to fight on a large scale. The emperor frowned deeply, Japan is now in some domestic and foreign difficulties, the commercial recession has affected Japan's fiscal revenue, and the arms race with China has caused Japan's military spending to surge, and the expenses for other aspects are much smaller. The Japanese government has lived in extreme poverty for the past two years. I finally accumulated some family funds, and this time the war with China was lost again. Japan's processing-oriented economic structure makes it less resilient to risks.

"The war is here, and it's not something we can stop if we want to." Youpeng in Shan County said in a low voice. Now the situation makes him nervous, the performance of the North Korean army is far below expectations, coupled with the strong performance of Chinese aircraft, Japan can be said to suffer in all aspects.

The Emperor's expression was unusually gloomy, and there was a look of madness on his pale face.

"Is there any news from the Kirishima?"

The Army's frequent defeats are no more. Japan's powerful navy also made frequent mistakes, which filled the emperor's heart with unwillingness. Like the last naval battle, the result turned out to be that the Japanese Navy still did not complete its mission despite losing most of its warships.

The Admiralty trembled, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I didn't find it." The Kirishima was either sunk by the Chinese Navy or captured! "...," Baga, in modern naval warfare, as long as you don't surrender, how can you be captured. The Emperor scolded angrily. The main battleship of the Japanese Navy disappeared into the sea for no apparent reason, who would believe it? What's more, there were thousands of officers and men on the battleship Kirishima, and it was even more strange that none of them survived.

"Your Majesty, the Kirishima had already been damaged by the Chinese Navy at that time, and there was a problem with the power system, and it was very likely to be sunk by the Chinese Navy. What's more, we have confirmed that the Chinese heavy cruiser Songshan, which was pursuing the Kirishima at that time, has returned to the Chinese port of Tianjin. Because the battleship Beijing, the flagship of the Chinese fleet, was damaged, the Songshan will serve as the flagship of the Chinese Navy for a short time. The Secretary of the Admiralty said.

"Only heavy cruisers exist? Does the Navy have plans to completely wipe out the Chinese fleet? The emperor said with a gloomy face.

"This ......, Your Majesty, the Chinese military port is defended by a large number of aircraft, and once we enter its flight range, we will be bombed by Chinese aircraft again. Even a battleship encountering a Chinese plane was tricky. Besides, after all, it is China's coastal waters, and there are many dangers and variables. The Admiralty Minister said with a sweaty face.

"Damn it!" The emperor's expression became even more gloomy.

Korean battlefield. After a bloody battle, coupled with the incessant and indiscriminate bombing by bombers, the Wehrmacht finally advanced the front step by step into the central part of Korea.

"The river in front of us is called the Imjin River, and after the Japanese retreated to Jiangnan, they laid out a new defense line there. And we got the news that Japan has mobilized 200,000 troops from within the country, and now it is almost logged in. Now that the North Korean army still has nearly 300,000 people, plus another 200,000, our plan for a quick victory has failed. Li Jun's face was very indifferent. In more than half a month, the Wehrmacht fought hundreds of battles, including more than a dozen major battles with more than 100,000 troops, and Li Jun commanded more than 400,000 Wehrmacht troops, and he fought Japan from the banks of the Yalu River to the Imjin River, and the entire northern part of Korea basically fell into the hands of China.

"Chief of Staff, the flight group has been corrected and is ready for combat at any time." In the past half a month or so, the busiest combat mission has been the flight brigade. In order to expand the strength of the flight formation, Feng Yong mobilized several times and increased the number of planes in the DPRK flight group to 70. Since the beginning of the war, aircraft have made more than 1,000 missions, and bomber groups have been present in all difficult battles in the entire northern theater. It can be said that the Wehrmacht's ability to advance so quickly is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of the bombers.

"The flight group was ordered to dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the situation on the other side of the Imjin River. All ground forces stopped advancing and rested on the spot. Li Jun said.

"Rest? Chief of Staff, is there a new battle plan? Lin Hu's eyes lit up.

Li Jun shook his head and said, "No, the intensity of the army's attack during this time is too great. We need to pause and consolidate our gains. ”

"Chief of Staff, now that we have formed a momentum like a bamboo, is it a pity to give up like this?" Lin Hu asked in a deep voice. Although he admired the continuous victories of Li Jun's troops, Lin Hu, as an independent general, naturally had his own thoughts in his heart.

"Is it a pity? It's not a pity at all, we can fight North Korea, but we can't all take it down. Li Jun said with a smile.

"Can't beat it down?" Lin Hu was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. "Is it because of the Japanese Navy?"

Li Jun nodded.

"Korea is the only place on our border with Japan, and it's also where we can show the strength of our army, and if we completely occupy Korea at this time, then the Japanese navy will have no constraints and can run rampant in Chinese waters, attack Chinese merchant ships, attack Chinese coastal cities. If that were the case, the damage would be devastating. Now we keep half of North Korea for Japan. If the Japanese Navy is not honest, we can immediately send troops to knock the Japanese Army on the opposite side. Even if Japan's navy and army are at odds, the navy will not dare to attack China without scruples. ”…,

"Chief of Staff. I don't understand why we have to waste huge manpower and material resources to enter North Korea since we can't completely occupy North Korea. We only need to defeat Japan on the Yalu River and put pressure on Japan to achieve the purpose of the war? Lin Hu asked with some puzzlement.

"It didn't work either. The Japanese and Korean troops are nearly 400,000 strong, and if the battlefield unfolds on the Yalu River, it will inevitably spread to our territory. Rather than that, I would prefer to let the war unfold within other countries. Li Jun explained with a smile.

Lin Hu suddenly realized that Feng Yong had always instilled in the National Defense Forces the idea that it was the responsibility to defend the land, and the so-called defense of the land not only protects the country's land sovereignty, but also includes the protection of the Chinese people living on this land. Since a large-scale war was already expected, why not simply set up the battlefield abroad. China now no longer needs to use the terrain to weaken the enemy's spirit. It is under the guidance of this kind of thinking that both Li Jun and Cai Yi chose to go abroad to fight.

"Lin Hu, the young marshal often said that we and Japan are fatal enemies, and now that the tide of world revolution is surging, colonialism still has a large market, and whether a country can develop safely, it must have the ability to fight against it. To us, China, with 450 million compatriots, is the most populous country in the world, but as a result, our system is rigid and our national strength is weak. For half a century, we have been bullied by small Western countries, and now we are strong. Small Western countries did not dare to come. Those old colonial powers still did not give up, which led to this war between China and Britain. If China wants not to return to the colonial era, it must break the pressure of the British and break free from the British colonial mentality, so we know that it is very risky to go to war with the British, and if it is not done well, it will lead to a world war, and China will be attacked by all the countries in the world. But we have to fight, and if we don't fight, we will never get ahead. And it is the same with Japan, we are geographically connected, Japan has annexed Korea, has always wanted to annex China, and the two sides have long become mortal enemies. In addition, China and Japan are both Asian countries, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and without the existence of forces that both sides fear, the two countries will inevitably have a life-and-death struggle. It's just that we're not ready now. Li Jun rarely explained to Lin Hu the distant east wind clouds during this time
