Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudge Chapter 44 Towards War
When it came to Kiryu Shunji's call, Tani Ryohei immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's House. γγ
Although Secretary Xiang did not say much on the phone, Tani Shu Ryohei knew that Murakami Sadamasa must be very dissatisfied with the matter of Taiwanese students. On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tani Ryohei did not feel anxious. No one can give 100 percent assurance about intelligence operations, and it is only natural that there will be accidents.
Ryohei Taniki's guess was not wrong, and Murakami Sadamasa was indeed annoyed.
After the coup began, Li Xiangzhi's troops took control of the "presidential palace" in Taipei for the first time, but allowed the crucial Guo Ming to escape. Although Murakami did not participate in the coup, he knew that seizing Guo Ming and forcing him to hand over power was a key factor in the success of the coup.
The unexpected situation made Murakami Sadamasa have to deal with it carefully.
When he met the director of the National Security Bureau, Murakami Sadamasa was not angry, and he did not even look angry.
The look of the phase made Gu Shu Liangping hang. If Murakami is angry, at most he will reprimand, and there will be no more serious consequences.
On the contrary, if you don't say anything, there will be a greater danger.
"We've done everything we can, and the unexpected is out of our control." Gu Shu Liangping looked very careful, "Although Guo Ming has fled to Taoyuan, and the Taoyuan garrison did not participate in the coup, according to the current situation, the Taipei defenders can capture Taoyuan in two to three days, if ......"
"Will you give Li Xiangzhi two or three days?"
Gu Shu Liangping was stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his head.
Murakami sighed. He shook his head again. said: "That has already sent troops to occupy Taiping Island and Huangyan Island. If Wang Yuanqing intends to help Guo Ming tide over the difficulties, take this opportunity to occupy Formosa. Troops will definitely be sent to occupy Penghu. Even to send airborne troops to Taoyuan. The Marine Corps in China has been put on combat readiness, and the Airborne Corps in the southwest region can also be transferred to the southeast within 24 hours. Before the decision was made to send troops to Formosa in China. Even if there is only one airport under Guo Mingdi's control. The coup d'Γ©tat will all end in failure. β
"Isn't it like you need to reach the earth's goal?"
Murakami Sadamasa smiled coldly. said: "Gu Shujun." How much effort do you think China will spend in Taiwan? β
Gu Shuliang frowned and jumped a few times, answering the Xiangdi question.
"Don't tell me. All the armies in the coup d'Γ©tat were under the control of the National Security Agency. Murakami Sadamasa glanced at Ryohei Taniki. Said. "United, the Taiwan army is not the opponent of the Chinese army, and in a state of chaos, can the Taiwanese army block the Chinese army? Although I am not a military man. But I bet. As long as the Chinese army reaches Taoyuan. The vast majority of the local military involved in the coup d'Γ©tat will see the wind and rudder. Quickly transfer the muzzle. The coup d'Γ©tat will be quelled in days, if not hours. Li Xiangzhi is not a politician like Guo Ming, Huan Ying's name is not right, and his words are not good! β
"Negotiations between China and India have collapsed, I'm afraid it ......"
"Do you think that China will not send troops to Formosa because of this?" Murakami Sadamasa sneered and said, "Gu Shujun is still not a qualified intelligence officer. At this point, the intentions of the branch could not be more obvious. You are not wrong that the complete breakdown of the negotiations between China and India indicates that China is about to use force against India and will not take large-scale action in Formosa. But the problem can be looked at the other way around. No one denies that for China, Formosa is much more important than southern Tibet. From the point of view of national feelings, Formosa was split from China, and the southern Tibet region was only an area occupied by India, and the people of China preferred to recover Formosa; From an economic point of view, Formosa, with a population of 20 million, is far more important than the wilderness at the foot of the Himalayas; Strategically, Formosa is an important stronghold from China to the western Pacific, while southern Tibet is just a springboard to contain India. As a result of these factors, almost everyone felt that China should recover Formosa first, rather than miss the best opportunity to recover Formosa for the sake of southern Tibet. β
Gu Shu Liangping nodded.
"The question is here, will Yuanqing, the king of Zhina, play his cards according to common sense?" Murakami Sadamasa sighed and said, "Don't talk about you, I can't be sure what Wang Yuanqing really thinks." According to common sense, in order to recover Formosa, China should improve relations with India as soon as possible, even if it is only to delay the negotiations, instead of turning against India at the negotiating table and getting involved in another war that could break out at any time. Is Shina capable of winning two wars at the same time? Although we cannot doubt the military strength of China, as the leader of the country, Wang Yuanqing should try to avoid the embarrassing situation of putting the country in a two-front war. More importantly, if China fights on two fronts at the same time, both we and the United States will do everything they can to create trouble for China, such as providing military assistance to India, and even sending troops to Formosa, so as to weaken China's strength to the greatest extent. Wang Yuanqing has been working in a certain direction, do you think he will let China fight in two directions at the same time? β
"China will only use troops in one direction."
"Then in which direction do you think China will use its troops?"
Gu Shu Liangping was late and did not answer Xiang's question.
Murakami sighed and fell silent
It could not be more obvious that the Republic is about to embark on a military operation, but no one is sure in which direction.
Before summoning Ryohei Taniki, Sadamasa Murakami spoke on the phone with Tsukasa Onozuka.
According to Onozuka's analysis, although China has enough military strength to deal with India and Formosa at the same time, combat operations will inevitably be affected. The most critical is China's strategic and tactical airlift capabilities. Unless China is prepared to fight a large-scale and inefficient conventional landing operation in Formosa, it will need to commit large airlift forces in both directions. However, the air transport capacity of China can only support combat operations in one direction, and cannot meet the operational needs in both directions at the same time. As a result, it is possible for China to carry out military operations in only one direction.
India, or Taiwan!?
Murakami did not dare to make a judgment because the future of Japan was at stake.
Neither of them was in a hurry to speak, and Tong Junci came to the study in a panic.
"Phase, just received the news that Taipei's 'Presidential Palace' was attacked."
"What!?" Murakami stood up suddenly.
"Not the army of Formosa, armed civilians."
"Armed civilians?" Murakami Sadamasa is one again, and he didn't react at once.
"Tens of thousands of people under the control of the blue camp broke through the army's defense line and stormed the 'presidential palace', and Wang Huanying has fled Taipei under the protection of the army."
Murakami's eyes widened, and his expression was shocked.
Before he could react, the phone on the desk rang.
Shunji Kiryu was a little late and went over to pick up the microphone. "Prime Minister's ...... Be...... I understood, and immediately told the minister. β
Tani Ryohei stood up and looked at Shunji Kiryu with Sadamasa Murakami.
"The Pakistani army has crossed the Kashmir ceasefire line and is moving towards the Indian army's defensive line."
Murakami Sadamasa was stunned for a moment and sat down.
What kind of cards is Wang Yuanqing playing?
While creating trouble in Taiwan, instigating war in South Asia!
After pondering for a while, Murakami Sadamasa sighed and said to Kiryu Shunji, "Immediately contact the Cabinet, the Military Department, and the Secretariat to convene an emergency meeting." β
"Do you need to prepare the army for war?" Shunji Kiryu asked.
Murakami Sadamasa nodded and said, "Tell Toki Tanikatsu that all combat units have entered the combat state according to the plan. β
Tani Ryohei's brows jumped a few times, realizing that Xiang had already decided to send troops.
Not long after, Ono Tsukasa Pheasant was the first to rush over.
"The situation is clear, China is ready to deal with India." Ono Tsukasa was not idle, but took the opportunity to make a judgment on the relative situation to obtain relevant information from the cabinet department and the military department. "The Pakistan Army advanced about ten kilometers in half an hour, and the forward forces have already exchanged fire with the Indian army. Although China did not enter the war and the Pakistani Air Force did not bomb military targets in India, the Pakistani Air Force and artillery have begun to strike at Indian defensive positions and command centers in Kashmir. ...... according to my judgment"
"When will China go to war?" Murakami asked very dryly.
"Within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, China will definitely go to war." Ono Tsukasa paused for a moment and said, "The timing of China's entry into the war is mainly determined by the offensive actions of the Pakistani army, and if the Indian army's resistance is not stubborn, it is very likely that China will first stabilize Formosa and then turn to deal with India." If the situation is reversed, China may first send troops to help Pakistan stabilize the western front, open up a new battlefield in the east, and flank India with Pakistan. As things stand, China does not have high hopes for Pakistan, otherwise it would not have created a destabilizing situation in Formosa. β
"You mean that the actions of the Formosa civil society are controlled by China?"
Ohno Tsukasa Pheasant nodded and said, "No question, Shina hopes to buy time to complete military preparations by manipulating the civilian forces of Formosa to fight against the military junta that has just come to power." β
Murakami closed his eyes and pondered.
"Phase......" Ohno Tsukasa hesitated for a moment and said, "If we don't do anything, there is a good chance that Shina will operate on two fronts at the same time." As long as Shina stabilizes Formosa, we will be in an embarrassing situation of complete passivity. In any case, we should immediately send troops to Formosa. β
"What is the attitude of the United States?"
"The United States?" Ohno Tsukasa sneered and said, "If we can count on the United States, will we deal with the challenge of Shina alone?" β
Murakami Sadamasa sighed, knowing that Ono Tsukasa was right.
Tani Ryohei has been listening attentively to the conversation between Ono Tsuka Pheasant and Murakami Sadamasa, and when Ono Tsukasa Pheasant said that Japan should send troops to Taiwan as soon as possible, he could not help but be attentive.
A short time later, officials from the Cabinet, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Secretariat arrived one after another.
Murakami Sadamasa did not hesitate any longer, and took Ono Tsuka Pheasant and Tani Shu Ryohei to the conference room. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters,! )
