After the chief of staff expressed his thoughts, several lieutenant generals and generals, some agreed and some opposed.

They also believe that there is no need for Japan to fight to the death with the National Defense Force with its limited national strength. After all, the Wehrmacht had already defeated the Imperial Army more than once.

The reason for the opponents is also very simple, the empire has lost its troops, and it is necessary to let the Wehrmacht pay for its blood debts and defeat the Wehrmacht completely.

In their words, after the Reich abandoned the Wehrmacht, the Reich grew, and the Wehrmacht grew. And sooner or later there will be a war between the Reich and the Wehrmacht. Wait for the Wehrmacht to grow and develop before cleaning them up, and the price the empire needs to pay will be greater. ”

This analysis was very much agreed with by the Chief of Staff. But if the Navy is asked to retaliate immediately, the chief of staff will certainly not agree.

"Shut up, don't you know how many ships our navy has lost in order to retaliate against the Wehrmacht? Now the Wehrmacht is armed not only with torpedo boats, but also with submarines that even the Reich is rarely equipped with. You say, how many more ships will the Empire lose to destroy the Wehrmacht Navy. After the empire has lost so many ships, can the overall strength of the imperial navy still rank first in Asia, don't gamble on the future of the imperial navy for a small defense force, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

After some discussion, the Minister of the Navy finally agreed with the Chief of Staff's idea and forgave it for the time being.

The next day, he reported the news of the defeat of the navy to the empress, and the emperor was furious, and he wanted to drag Vice Admiral Kaohsiung to the main hall and cut it down with his own hands, and then use it to vent his anger.

In the end, after some analysis by the Minister of the Navy, and the fact that the Wehrmacht was indeed not so easy to fight, the Emperor finally chose to forbear.

It will take at least a year to develop the navy and army on a large scale, and when the Japanese army has become strong enough, it will send troops to retaliate against the Wehrmacht.

Of course, the naval losses were so great that if Japan was left to bear the losses alone, the emperor would certainly not be able to do it.

You must know that just holding the lost warships, the construction cost is as much as 10 million taels.

In order to alleviate domestic pressure and further increase the strength of the navy and army, at the suggestion of the Minister of the Navy, the emperor directly shifted the target of venting to the Qing court and the Beiyang army.

The Wehrmacht Japanese can't clean it up, but they are still very confident in cleaning up the cowardly Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang Army.

Of course, that's all for later.

As soon as Japan decided to forbear, the decision to suspend retaliation against the Wehrmacht came out.

Within a few days, the imperial court and the Beiyang Army received the news one after another.

Shocked, they immediately withdrew the heavy troops assembled on the border line and completely switched off the cards.

In this way, the Wehrmacht, which had been fighting continuously for nearly two years, rarely ushered in a brief period of tranquility.

At this time, the four main armies of the Wehrmacht had all been reorganized and re-equipped. The heavy artillery that the armies lacked, because it had to be purchased from Germany, was also being equipped step by step.

On the surface, today's Wehrmacht is moving in a good direction step by step.

However, after reading the report sent by Sun Liechen, Yang Xingguo was not happy at all.

Because, the four main armies were arranged too scattered. More importantly, more than 60 percent of these troops are responsible for border defense and local defense.

Under such circumstances, if an emergency situation occurs in any of the three eastern provinces, each province can only assemble at most one division of troops to reinforce it. As for the other troops, because they had to defend the borders and places, they could not move at all.

"Chief of Staff, you don't see that although our territory is many times larger and our troops are nearly three times larger, we have fewer and fewer mobile troops in our hands. Let's not talk about entering the customs in the future, let's take the border between us and Russia as an example, once the Russian army invades, the two provinces of Jilin and Huanlongjiang can only send the main force of one division to reinforce at most. ”

"Also, the railway lines in both provinces are in the hands of the Russians, and we can only rely on road reinforcements to get there. In this way, even if the strength of a division is rushed, the daylily will be cold. ”

Sun Liechen immediately understood and replied: "Dashuai, I understand what you mean. One is that we have too few mobile troops in our hands, and the other is that the three eastern provinces have almost no railways of our own, except for Liaodong. Strategically, this is very bad for us. ”

Seeing Yang Xingguo's nod of approval, Sun Liechen's brows immediately furrowed.

I thought for a minute before answering: "The first problem is easy to solve, and that is to expand the army." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Liechen obviously hesitated. Seeing that Yang Xingguo did not speak, completely listening mode, Sun Liechen changed his words and continued: "However, with the current strength of the three northeastern provinces, the current strength of the National Defense Force has reached its limit. ”

"We are now dividing the main force into the local garrison force, and the main force has a total of 150,000 people as I just reported."

"The local troops have not yet counted specific figures, but all the garrison regiments and garrison battalions added up must not be less than 150,000 people. The combined strength of the two armies is 300,000 men, and these people alone are supported by the local government's desperate efforts to expand its financial resources. If the army is expanded, the government's finances will definitely be dragged down by the consumption of the army. ”

Yang Xingguo joked for a long time: "Expand the army? I'm sure, if you dare to expand the army, Lao Huang will definitely come over and fight with you! ”

Sun Liechen replied helplessly: "Marshal, if you don't expand the army, I really can't think of a good way to solve this problem!" ”

"It will definitely not work to continue to expand the army!" Yang Xingguo ignored Sun Liechen's helplessness, and then replied with an affirmative face.

Sun Liechen's eyes lit up, stared at Yang Xingguo and asked, "Dashuai, you must already have a way." ”

Yang Xingguo replied confidently: "The reason why so many garrison regiments and handback battalions were set up at the beginning was because the law and order in the Northeast was too chaotic, and there were bandits everywhere. ”

"It's different now, with the continuous attack of several main forces, the bandits in the northeast have basically been wiped out. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, it will not affect the safety of the territory. In this case, the garrison regiment and garrison battalion became our boot camp entirely. Our main force is only 150,000 people, and there is no need to keep another 150,000 recruits. ”

"Therefore, this time not only do I not plan to expand the army, but also streamline the army."

"At least 80 percent of the garrison will be abolished, leaving 20 percent to be transferred to local governments, learning from European countries, and setting up a police force to be responsible for local security and the suppression of small-scale banditry."

"If you encounter large-scale bandits, ask for help directly from the main force and let the main force send troops to exterminate them."

"What about the dismissed soldiers?" Sun Liechen immediately asked.

As Chief of Staff, the reduction of troops and the retirement of officers and men, also under his jurisdiction.

"Sixty percent of them are selected to form border guards. As for the rest, all of them will be decommissioned and restored! Yang Xing said in Chinese.

Seeing Sun Liechen's stunned face, Yang Xingguo continued: "From now on, all border defense will be handed over to the border guards. Officers and men who enter the main force must have at least one year of training in the border guards, and the same is true for officers below the middle level, and they must have experience in the border guards. ”

"As long as we liberate the main force defending the border, we will be able to have more than 120,000 mobile troops in our hands."

"With 120,000 main forces in hand, we are not afraid of any emergencies in the Northeast." (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
