Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 132 Doomsday Madness
The chisel of the newspaper is reliable, and there is no doubt about it. After getting Wang Yuanqing's permission, the General Staff officially launched the "all-round attack Jige".
In peacetime, the main work of the General Staff Headquarters is to draw up operational plans, adjust military deployments, and improve army building in the face of a war that may break out. During the war, when directing combat operations, the General Staff Headquarters will also improve the operational plans formulated in advance in light of the actual situation.
When the armistice negotiations began, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi did not have much hope.
The military broom understands the soldiers, although the republicans are not as extreme as the Japanese soldiers, and it is mainly the republicans who must obey the government's orders. did not hold real power, but as soldiers, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi were very aware of the idea of 4 "peers", and they were also very aware of Japan's "peers". of extreme acts.
Back in the days when Japan conducted nuclear tests. Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi thought that Murakami Sadamasa would be overthrown by the Japanese soldiers sooner or later.
According to the roadmap drawn up by Sadamasa Murakami. If you don't take into account external factors, Japan is humble and may become a world power in many years. The problem is that Japan can't do whatever it wants, and therefore it can't be immune to the outside world. As long as the Republic is determined to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue. Japan would not be able to become a world power.
War is bound to break out, it's only a matter of time.
The war will inevitably cause devastating damage to the "Japanese Shakimasa" drawn up by Murakami. According to Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi, even if Murakami did not choose to commit suicide, he would be promoted by Japanese soldiers at the moment before the signing of the armistice treaty, and the Japanese political situation would inevitably change dramatically. This will not end the war.
At the beginning, Xiang Linghui wanted to mention Wang Yuanqing, and he didn't expect much from the negotiations.
Influenced by Pei Chengyi, Xiang Linghui did not go to Wang Yuanqing. I have to admit that Pei Chengyi understands Yuan better. In the course of the negotiations, the Republic put forward all kinds of harsh conditions, making it clear that it did not take the negotiations seriously. If Japan signs an armistice treaty, the republic will reap great benefits. If Japan does not sign the armistice treaty, the war will inevitably continue. Before the start of armistice negotiations. Wang Yuanqing asked the General Staff Headquarters to send heavy troops to Yakushima and Taneugu, which had just been occupied, proving that Yuan had long been unable to negotiate with anyone. Now that Yuan has recognized the intermittent problem, is it necessary to bring it up in person?
All the General Staff has to do is prepare for war.
Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi did so. After the Military Intelligence Bureau determined that Japan was about to break the armistice agreement, the General Staff immediately came up with a feasible strike plan and launched an operational plan.
In just a few hours, all aspects of the deployment were in place.
The main striking force is still the air force, and the navy's shore-based air force has also participated in the bombing of the Japanese mainland after completing the combat operation in support of the Ryuzhu Islands, and the naval fleet has sailed to the waters of the Izu Islands to carry out a comprehensive and complete strategic blockade against Japan.
Unlike the previous strategic bombing, the "all-out attack on Jingge thugs" was completely aimed at large and medium-sized cities in Japan!
In order to avoid causing serious civilian injuries and accusing the Republic of "against humanity", the previous strategic bombing basically targeted national infrastructure facilities, such as transportation hubs, industrial centers, material warehouses, and communication centers. Because the Air Force completely defeated the Japanese Air Force shortly after the start of the strategic bombing and held absolute air supremacy, all kinds of targets listed by the General Staff were destroyed during the bombing campaign calculated at this time, and there was no need to continue the bombing.
Expanding the scale of the bombardment will certainly target civilians.
According to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the Japanese military industry is not completely paralyzed. Soon after the strategic bombing began, Japan transferred a large amount of industrial equipment used for safe production of weapons and ammunition, especially guns and ammunition, to the residential areas of large and medium-sized cities, and used the residents as cover to evade the strategic bombing. In addition, Japan purchased a large number of industrial raw materials and built a large number of material warehouses before the war; Some warehouses are even "hidden" in the sea. Taking butterfly charcoal, iron ore and copper ore as examples, before the outbreak of the war, Japan stored at least 100 million tons of medium charcoal, tens of millions of tons of iron ore and tens of millions of tons of copper ore in the Hunan Inland Sea. These industrial raw materials are all packed in special containers that can be salvaged at any time when needed. Strategic bombing is unlikely to destroy materials hidden in the sea, but only after they have been recovered.
Bombing residential areas, the consequences are certainly very serious.
Although most of the cities in mainland Japan were recontaminated with radioactive fallout, under the control of the Japanese army, there were still very many civilians who remained in Takeshi, and there were still thousands of real residents in Tokyo, Daijodaira, Kadoto, and Nagodaira, which had a population of more than 40,000, and a megacity with a population of more than 10,000. Regardless of whether these Japanese survive or not, as long as the Republic bombs Japanese urban residential areas, they will inevitably be "anti-human." and thus been accused by Western countries.
Prior to this, Wang Yuanqing strictly forbade the bombing of urban residential areas.
As Japan continued to advance on the path of war, the Republic had no choice!
Bombing urban residential areas, the "difficulty" is not small.
Although the MIA provided the General Staff with very accurate military intelligence, the MIA searched
Report... 7 No matter how bad it is, it is impossible to determine which people and bears live in the Ming houses", and once the industrial equipment used for the production of weapons and ammunition is not able to carry out precision bombing.
Precision bombing is useless, only large-scale bombing!
At this time, the "special bombs" prepared by the Air Force came in handy.
The so-called "special bombs" are not special. Just improved incendiary bombs.
In World War II, the U.S. strategic bombing of Japan and Germany proved that incendiary bombs were the most effective ammunition against large-area targets in urban areas. Both the brick and stone houses of Tokuji and the wooden houses of Japan are very vulnerable to incendiary bombs. In the 1,000-plane bombing of Dresden, nearly 1,000 bombers from the United States and Britain used tons of incendiary bombs to kill and injure nearly 10,000 Germans within a few hours. During the strategic bombing of Tokyo, the American murder plane group set a record for killing Dan himself in a single bombing. Compare with these two massive bombings. The devastation caused by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was nothing.
Of course, today's Japanese cities are not what they were during World War II.
The incendiary bombs used during World War II had very toxic defects, such as the burning temperature was too low. The duration is too short. The resulting flames are not destructive enough to capture underground targets, etc. In view of Japan's special situation, the Air Force funded the development of an improved incendiary bomb, mainly to add new chemical components to the burner punch to improve the re-questioning of combustion, prolong the combustion time, and enhance mobility. By improving the fuse, the ignition time is delayed, so that the combustion waste has enough time to penetrate into the underground building through the surface cracks, thereby causing devastating damage to the underground target, and more importantly, the new incendiary agent not only has the effect of combustion, but also has the effect of consuming air. If a large number of incendiary bombs detonate at the same place and at the same time, Ken quickly consumes the oxygen within the explosion range and suffocates nearby personnel.
In order to achieve its ends, war is used to the extreme.
With technological advances, many conventional weapons have surpassed nuclear weapons in their striking effectiveness.
Preparing for the lights is not the same as getting started.
The "trigger" is not in the hands of the Chief of the General Staff, but in the hands of the Yuan.
On the 10,000th day, Ran Goulong, through the French Ministry of Communications, proposed to Kitayama Shikawa three times to resume the armistice.
In the evening of the same day, after not receiving any reply from Kitayama Zhi", Yan Shanglong abandoned the cloth in Paris, France, and the Republic would give Japan a final hour, and if Japan could not return to the armistice negotiation venue before the 10,000-day old point, the Republic would regard Japan as taking the initiative to break the armistice agreement.
There is no doubt that the Republic has given Japan an ultimatum.
War or peace is not decided by the Republic, but by Japan.
Although France actively mediated the situation, the French president also found time to talk with Kitayama Shikawa for two hours. It is hoped that Japan will return to armistice negotiations as soon as possible to avoid a resumption of war. However, with the covert support of the United States, Britain and other Western countries, Kitayama not only did not agree to return to negotiations, but also proposed that only after the Republic lowered the terms of the armistice. Japan will consider continuing armistice negotiations with the Republic.
Negotiations, for sure, will not make any progress.
In the early morning of the same day, Wang Yuanqing ordered the strike forces to enter a combat state, and the fleet first entered Sagami Bay to block the route to the Izu Islands.
Within a few hours, thousands of combat aircraft of the Republican Air Force and the Navy's shore-based aviation were ready to take to the skies.
This is not a preparation for a full-scale strike, but an unmistakable expression of the attitude of the republic.
With the strategic reconnaissance capabilities of the United States and Britain, the movement and deployment of the air force and navy of the Republic of China and shore-based aviation units were semi-determined, and they knew that the Republic was about to launch an all-out strategic bombing campaign against Japan.
In order to let the United States, Britain and other countries know clearly, the Air Force even put a batch of "special bombs." Placed in the open air, let the uranium analyze the nature of these bombs and thus guess the strategic bombing targets of the Republic. In order to make the Japanese Provisional Government understand the evil consequences of the resumption of war, the Republic's Yanwei and the Navy's Tajiji Air Force even dispatched long-range reconnaissance planes to conduct repeated reconnaissance of major Japanese cities on several occasions. In addition to the fact that there were no leaflets or radio propaganda, the Republic used various means to convince the stubborn Japanese soldiers that the war would not bring Japan any good. Japan must return to the negotiating venue as soon as possible!
Do warnings work?
To be exact, some forbearance
On the morning of Sunday, senior members of the Japanese cabinet and military department left Tokyo and moved to an underground strategic command center located on Mount Fuji Mountain.
Obviously, Dongji Gusheng and others also knew. Disaster is coming.
Knowing is not the same as making an informed choice.
When fleeing Tokyo, instead of issuing an evacuation order, Toki Tanikatsu issued a national mobilization order, requiring all adult males from the age of old to report to the nearest recruiting station, receive weapons and equipment, and prepare for the fight against foreign invasion.
If God wants it to perish, he must first make it mad.
Japan's behavior is a very accurate confirmation of this Western maxim.
