Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 41 The Inevitable Choice

When Motokei ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to carry out the operation, Murakami Sadamasa was also doing it

As the best "iron-fisted face" after World War II, no one can deny Murakami's personal charm, political talent and strategic vision. As Wang Yuanqing said, excellent politicians have extremely clear goals. Wang Yuanqing did not underestimate Murakami's talent, and Murakami did not underestimate Wang Yuanqing's ability.

When Wang Yuanqing was the vice minister of the Republic, Murakami Sadamasa collected relevant information about him through various channels.

Although during the Peninsula War, Wang Yuanqing officially stepped onto the political stage of the republic and became an irreplaceable and important figure, in Murakami's view, as early as when he was Ji Youguo's assistant, Wang Yuanqing showed extremely outstanding political talent, and then became the chairman of Guangxi, showing his ability to govern the country. During the Korean War, Wang Yuanqing replaced Zhao Rundong in charge of administrative work and foreign affairs, and his tough performance was enough to prove his political leanings. After becoming the head of the country, Wang Yuanqing vigorously developed armaments, carried out military reforms, revised foreign policies, and rectified domestic order on the basis laid by Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong.

These are enough to prove that Wang Yuanqing is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

In Murakami's view, Wang Yuanqing's ability surpasses that of Zhao Rundong, and is not even worse than Ji Youguo, who has a very high evaluation.

Murakami has a clear purpose, and Wang Yuanqing will definitely not be an exception.

Although the whole world believes that the Republic is making military preparations for the recovery of southern Tibet and may unite with Pakistan to start a war against India at any time, in Murakami's view, Wang Yuanqing's real purpose is not to attack India, but to force Japan to take action and create an opportunity to declare war on Japan!

What scares Murakami is that Wang Yuan is likely to adopt a "two-pronged" strategy.

Given the limited strategic objectives, China's military input in the direction of South Asia is also quite limited. According to the information provided by various parties, China only wants to recover southern Tibet and help Pakistan control the entire Kashmir region, and only needs to dispatch 400 to 500 combat aircraft, 150 support aircraft, 3 to army ground combat troops, and about 50,000 logistics support personnel. Because India is unable to provide adequate air protection for its naval fleet, and its carrier battle group is likely to retreat into the Bay of Bengal, the Republic only needs to dispatch submarines deployed in Gwadar port to force the Indian Navy to abandon combat operations and not send a combat fleet to the Indian Ocean.

Limited input. It means that the whole force can be deployed quickly.

If the republic wanted to take the 27 Army. The rest of the units involved were able to redirect their operations within a matter of days. The fleet deployed in the South China Sea can also quickly enter the western Pacific.

In other words. China's military deployment does not explain China's strategic intentions.

Here's the problem!

If Japan does not act in Taiwan. The Yuan Qing Society, which contained the hands and feet of the Republic, stabilized the situation on the island before going to war with India. Let the green camp lose the opportunity to turn over the water. Then let go of your hands and feet against India. If Japan takes action in Taiwan, the Yuan Qinghui will be counted. Quickly adjust the deployment of troops. Aim the finger at Japan.

China went to war with Japan. Will India lend a hand?

Murakami doesn't have to think about it at all. India does not dare to go to war with China at all, as long as China makes a slight concession in the negotiations, or turns the spearhead to Japan, Rurajapani will go down the slope and let Japan suffer.

Even if Rurajapani knew that it would not be possible to avoid a war with China after all, and took the initiative to challenge China, Wang Yuanqing could also stabilize the eastern defense line through the strategy of "defending the east and attacking the west" of the 27th Army, and contain India through Pakistan.

Will Japan benefit from China's war on India?

The answer is also in the negative, as long as India defeats China and has no worries, it will not only go all out to resolve the Taiwan issue and quickly complete cross-strait reunification, but will also take the initiative to start a war against Japan when necessary. With Wang Yuanqing's character, he will certainly not tolerate Japan having a real strategic deterrent capability. As long as Japan takes a step in this direction, even if there are great difficulties, China will not hesitate to defeat Japan with military action!

No matter what you choose, the outcome will not be beneficial to Japan.

In other words, Murakami can only choose when to go to war with China.

After asking the National Security Agency to plan a military coup, Murakami Sadamasa kept Ono Tsuka Pheasant and Toki Tani Katsu.

"In terms of military strength, we only have 60% of the Chinese strength at most." Ono Tsukasa Pheasant knew the meaning of the prime minister very well, did not beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, "In terms of the navy, our two aircraft carrier battle groups can only operate in the coastal waters, and if they leave the cover range of shore-based fighters, let alone the aviation battle group in China, even the submarines in China will not be able to deal with it." According to the war games made by the military department, our aircraft carrier battle group has almost no survivability. As for the Air Force, we will hold out for a week at most, and it is already remarkable to be able to ensure the air defense of the homeland during this period. On the land side, unless China launches a large-scale landing operation,

The chances of war are not great. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that China will attack the outer islands, so it is very necessary to strengthen the defense of the outer islands, including the Okinawa archipelago. ”

"In other words, we have no chance of winning in a war with China?"

"Of course not...... "Dongji Gu Katsu became anxious.

Murakami Sadamasa frowned, glared at the Minister of Defense, and motioned for Secretary Xi to continue.

"As the Secretary of State for Defense said, it's not like we don't have any chance of winning." Ono Tsukasa Pheasant smiled faintly and said, "First of all, the United States will not sit idly by. Since the United States can support India, it will certainly be willing to provide it to us. The premise is that we must cooperate with the United States on the issue of the Western Pacific, or at least show our intention to cooperate with the United States in encircling China. Second, our ability to withstand war exceeds that of South Korea, and it is impossible for China to deal with us as it did with South Korea. As long as we can withstand the attack of China in the early stage of the war, especially in the defense of the outlying islands, even if it is only to inflict unbearable heavy losses on China, we can force China to abandon a larger offensive operation, that is, to give up the combat operation of attacking our own homeland, so that China can choose to negotiate. The most important thing is that we have to try to keep the trump card in our hands. ”

Murakami's eyebrows jumped a few times, knowing what the "trump card" said by Ono Tsukasa Pheasant.

"Phase!" Dongji Tanikatsu gritted his teeth and said, "Although Ohno-kun's theory is not wrong, don't forget that we have nuclear weapons in our hands!" ”

"Nuclear weapons?" Ono Pheasant sneered, "Toki-kun, do you think that Shina has fewer nuclear weapons than ours?" ”

"You ......"

"China not only has nuclear weapons, but also a national war defense system, what do we have?" Ono Tsukasa Pheasant did not give much face to Dongji Tani, "Of course, we have 'patriotism', and we still have 'standards', but these interceptor missiles only have tactical interception capabilities, and they can't deal with strategic ballistic missiles in China at all." Don't talk about us, the United States does not have the ability to intercept strategic ballistic missiles in China! ”

"We ......"

"Enough!" Murakami Sadamasa sighed and said, "Ohno-kun is right, we can't use nuclear weapons in war, at least not first. ”

"My lord, we should still remember something." Ohno Tsukasa sighed and said, "When the war broke out, the first thing Shina did was to destroy our nuclear capabilities. With the military strength of China, not to mention our land-based missile bases, I am afraid that even nuclear submarines will not be able to escape the doom. Of course, we have mobile ballistic missiles, and as long as some of them can survive, China will not rashly attack strategic targets on our homeland, at least not carry out strategic bombing of our homeland, let alone use nuclear weapons in war first. ”

"With the military strength of Eschina, I am afraid that there is no need to use nuclear weapons first."

Ono Tsukasa nodded, affirming Murakami's statement.

"According to you, we should try to avoid war with China?"

Ohno Tsukasa Pheasant nodded again and didn't say anything more.

"......" Dongji Tanikatsu couldn't sit still anymore, "Shina has already put the bayonet on our chest, do we still have a choice?" ”

Murakami Sadamasa didn't have a fire, because Toki Tanikatsu was right.

"Even if we don't take the initiative to provoke a war, when China settles India, it will take the initiative to declare war on us within two years, or even a year. Although at that time, the gap between our strength and that of China will be narrowed, but China will have less worries and can concentrate on attacking us. Not to mention that the United States will not fight for us, and even if we get the United States, we will not be able to defeat China. Do not forget that the United States abandoned South Korea three years ago! ”

Sadamasa Murakami closed his eyes, and Toki Tanikatsu said every word to the key point.

"If we can unite India and make it impossible for China to concentrate its forces, our chances of victory are even greater!" After speaking, Toji Tani Katsu cast a very provocative gaze at Ono Tsukasuka.

It seems that he didn't notice the look of Toki Tanikatsu, and Ono Tsukasa Pheasant still had a cold look.

"Ohno-kun, what do you think?" Sadamasa Murakami also looked at Tsukasa Ono Tsuka.

"If there is a choice, do we need to discuss it?" Ono Tsuka's answer was very crisp.

Dongji Gu Sheng was late for a while, and his attitude eased somewhat.

"That's true, if there's a turn|We don't need to discuss these issues. Murakami Sadamasa sighed and said, "Shina has forced us into a corner, no matter how you choose, our war with Shina is inevitable."

Dongjijun, issue an order for combat readiness as soon as possible, and make war preparations for all-round mobilization. Remember, you must keep it secret, you can't leak any information, and you can't even let the military department know, understand? ”

Dongji Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then agreed very solemnly.

Murakami sighed again, waved his hand, and let the two staff members leave the study.

War is not a multiple-choice question, but a must-answer question! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters,! )
