"Put your hands down your legs and your palms down." The police officer who spoke was extremely young and proficient in Japanese, if you listened carefully, there was still a Tokyo accent in his tone, but it was a pity that the Japanese in front of him just wanted to sleep, "Besides, what do you have to do with Lan Jianshu of the Navy?" How the hell do you get in touch? ”

"Baga! You people will definitely face the great Japanese ......" Taro Suzuki, the owner of Shanghai Xianrakudo who didn't eat or sleep for thirty-five hours, seemed to have a little energy, but he wanted to stand up but softened.

"I have already said that China and Japan have started a war, and no one will save you before the end of the war, and if it is confirmed that you are a spy, you will be shot immediately, and your Great Japan will not be able to save you!" The officer watched him soften, and repeated the panicked words again, "Say it again, what is your relationship with Lan Jianshu of the Navy, and how did you get in touch......

Two hours later, Suzuki was taken down. Du Yue, assistant to the director, straightened his clothes, and then made a report and knocked on the door of Cheng Ziqing, director of the Shanghai branch of the National Security Bureau.

"Come in!" With a majestic voice, the little red guy in the past has also developed some official authority.

"Report, Suzuki's side has been interrogated." Du Yuesheng reported. "According to the interrogation, Lan Jianshu's problem is not big, he just often goes to Xianle Hall to find Japanese women, although he has complaints about the government's suppression of the Min navy, but after the naval battle in the East China Sea, it is gone."

"Isn't Lan Jianshu almost sixty years old, and he still goes to Xianle Hall to find a woman?!" Cheng Ziqing said with a glare. "Can he do it?"

Du Yuesheng glanced at the report, and then the ninja smiled: "It is said that after taking medicine, you will fly twice." ”

"Okay!" Cheng Ziqing sighed. It's people's ability to be strong, it's really no problem, and the Security Bureau doesn't need to do much. "Lan Jianshu's side is over. What about the others? ”

"Everything else is fine. However, Zhang Gui of Wusong Fort had some problems. He is also a frequent visitor to Senrakudo, and the Japanese have spent a lot of effort on him. It's just that there is no evidence yet, but he received a gift from the Japanese, which is a Japanese-made pocket watch. Du Yuesheng said the next person.

"Fucking old officers!" Cheng Ziqing said resentfully. "Handed over to the Inspectorate!"

"Yes!" Du Yuesheng responded, and then the text in the clip turned another page: "There is also the lake businessman's side, Mitsui Foreign Company has a close relationship with the lake businessman, among which Zhang Jingjiang, who is good friend of Sun Wen, has ......"

"These are all without evidence, don't read them, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not accept them if they are arrested." Cheng Ziqing said: "Is there any news about Chen Qimei?" ”

"There is news, but that was half a month ago." Du Yuesheng said. "But there's a piece of news about his former follower. Jiang Zhiqing, nicknamed A Rui, is a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, but this person is no longer a revolutionary, and he speculates in stocks on the exchange every day. ”

"Flipping stocks, making money? It's not to raise funds for the revolutionary party, is it? Cheng Ziqing said suspiciously.

"No, we have checked the money this person makes, and he used it to keep a prostitute named Xiao Yuexian, and that woman spends a lot of money. It's not going to be spent fast. Jian yì has strengthened the monitoring of this person, if he goes bankrupt, he will have to go back to his old ways......" Du Yuesheng said.

Du Yuesheng wanted to say it, but before he finished speaking, the Hotline in front of Cheng Ziqing sounded. The moment he went out to close the door, he only heard Cheng Ziqing shouting, "What? Huang Xing is dead! You make it clear!! How did you die, how did you ...... in Shanghai?"

Huang Xing is indeed dead. After a debate with Sun Wen in Tokyo, he returned home and began to pack. When the night was dark, he took Huang Yiou, Hu Ying, Li Liejun and other chartered buses to Yokohama, and took the last boat to Shanghai.

The Black Dragon Society, which was in charge of monitoring and guarding Huang Xing, only discovered that Huang Xing was missing the next day. After reporting to Sun Wen, Hu Hanmin guessed that Huang Xing should have returned to Shanghai. Because there was no greeting before leaving, and he didn't leave a book, Sun Wen didn't understand what Huang Xing would do when he went to Shanghai, but returning to China was a very sensitive move, and if he wanted to stay out of it, why not go to the United States? Sun Wen, who was worried about it, finally nodded the next day and asked people to send a ......report to Shanghai, so Huang Xingfu got off the boat and was shot twice by a man in a nurse's uniform on the dock, one of which was fatal from the left cheek into the brain, and he died.

Yang Rui didn't know that Huang Xing was dead at this time, and the death and the murderer were exactly the same as the Tao Chengzhang case in history, the only difference was that the location was not in Guangci Hospital, but at Wusong Wharf. In addition to the staff officers of the General Staff Department, the chief officers of various departments related to the Wanli Plan also arrived: Lieutenant General Lei Yizhen, commander of the North China Theater, Lieutenant General Qi Qingyuan, commander of the Northeast Theater, Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian, commander of the East China Theater, Major General Wen Yongyu, commander of the Mongolian Military Region, Major General Zhang Shi, director of the Intelligence Bureau, Lieutenant General Liu Boyuan, director of the Security Bureau, Lieutenant General Zhu Luhe, commander of the General Logistics Department, Lieutenant General Pan Shizhong, commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Cheng Zhixuan, commander of the artillery, Colonel Chen Ce, commander of the submarine, and Major General Wu Xifen, director of the National Taxation Bureau.

As the main formulator of the plan, Xu Jingxi first introduced the situation of the enemy and our armies: "Japan does not carry out a general war like China, and it still follows the national defense plan formulated five years ago, that is, the principle of preparing 25 divisions and regiments for combat in peacetime and expanding to 50 divisions and regiments in wartime, but before this Katsura Taro, the army had only trained 19 divisions and regiments. In the past year or so, although Japan has tried its best to expand and want to increase the number to 25 divisions, the officers and qualified soldiers needed for the other 25 reserve divisions and regiments are not enough, and according to calculations, it can send a maximum of 30 to 35 divisions and regiments for combat, and the establishment of Japanese divisions and regiments is similar to that of our army, which means that their maximum strength should be about 400,000 to 450,000 troops.

As for the strength of our army, there are 42 regular divisions with 500,000 people, and although the reserve force has trained 3 million, it is all over the country, and if it is only mobilized in North China and Northeast China, it will only be 1.5 million. Although there are so many people, there are not enough guns. Although the military industrial system produces 200,000 rifles a year, its production capacity has not yet been fully developed, and it is estimated that it will not be until the end of next year that all the rifle calibers of the 42 divisions will be unified. That is to say, this year there will be only 500,000 regular troops and 500,000 reserve troops available in the country. There is no reason to garrison several military regions, there are only four armies in North China. There were only three armies in the northeast, and we had about thirty divisions that could be engaged in the battle against Japan. The strength of the troops is basically the same as the strength of the Japanese army, and only the reserves are surpassed. If the war starts now, the number of troops that can be used in the first year is 700,000, and in the second year, it can rise to 1 million, and then it depends on the production of rifles.

This is the number of troops, and then the armament. The rifle is a golden hook against Mauser ninety-six, and we have the advantage. However, in the first year, we had a lot of guns, and the Japanese army was not easy to supply ammunition, and the two sides were basically tied; Artillery, our army uses Krupp 75 field guns, 75 mountain guns and mortars, except for the Russian-made artillery captured by the Japanese army a few years ago, the others are basically Sany rapid-fire guns, although the new artillery has eyes, but it has not been finalized and mass-produced; Our army is a six-artillery company, and the Japanese army is a four-artillery company. A breech gun is 12 more guns in one division of our army than a division of the Japanese army; The Japanese army did not have a large amount of mortars, while our army had 72 60 mortars per division, two per company, and 16 80 mortars per division. There are four guns per regiment, and it can be said that our army's standard artillery is completely superior; And the base of artillery shells of the two armies is also different, and one battle is down. The Japanese army's consumption of shells per cannon is generally about three or four hundred rounds, while our army stipulates that it is six hundred to eight hundred rounds; The grenade has also been developed by the Japanese army. But no effect was observed; The grenadier is also not known to be equipped.

The third is the command system, and there are many high-ranking generals in the Japanese army. It came from the War of the Fall, the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Russo-Japanese War, and it was completely from the war, although our army also started from the war, but it was not established for a long time; Both the enemy and our armies were based on Germany, Japan began in 1885, and our army began ten years earlier; The most crucial difference is that the senior officers of the Japanese army are basically trained through experience, and the scale of the army has expanded slowly, while the officers of our army have also experienced the flames of war, but they have been promoted too quickly, and there is a slight shortage of qualified officers at and above the regimental level, and those above the division level are rare, and there are very few at and above the army level. ”

As soon as Xu Jingxi talked about the issue of senior officers, Yang Rui's heart sank, but when he thought that there was no movement war in the current war, it was just trench warfare, and with radio and basic non-commissioned officers and officers, it was not difficult to hold the position. In addition, Xu Jingxi's concentrated introduction this time made him invent a cognitive inertia error: that is, as a traverser, he will always confuse the number of combat power of the Japanese army in World War II with the Japanese army before World War I, and the Japanese army in World War II was several million, that is because Japan was armed after learning general warfare after World War I, and now Japan has no reserves, and the so-called reserves are only soldiers who served and retired in the early days; In addition, due to limited financial resources, there were only 19 regular divisions in peacetime, and a maximum of 40 divisions in wartime. This is also the reason why during the Russo-Japanese War, in order to squeeze out 300,000 Japanese troops, 40-year-old people were also sent up.

In addition to the insufficient number of soldiers, according to the observation of the battles between Japan and Russia and Shenyang, the Japanese army was still accustomed to charging in groups, and there was no infantry squad and platoon tactics, and the coordination of various weapons and the use of firepower were also insufficient. In addition to the frontal decisive attack, it is a flank detour attack, and finally the digging and closing tactics and night white-knuckle assault that are forced by Russian machine guns. Its determination to attack is sufficient, but the infantry artillery does not coordinate with each other, generally after the artillery is finished, it will rush wildly, and then detour, and if it is not good, then dig forward or attack at night, and in the end, it will not work, then organize more troops to attack or detour. Such a rigid army that does not pay attention to firepower and infantry and artillery coordination is precisely the reason why the soldiers were aggrieved when the main force of Shenyang did not allow them to participate in the war and restricted their play.

When Yang Rui was thinking about how weak the Japanese army is now, Xu Jingxi had already talked about surface ships and introduced submarines: "Japan's earliest submarine force came from five Holland submarines from the United States, and the active submarines were purchased from the United Kingdom, with a displacement of about 300 tons, two torpedo tubes, using gasoline engines, horsepower 600 on the water, 300 underwater, 12 knots on the water, 4 knots and 3 hours underwater, and a cruising range of more than 600 nautical miles, which can only be said to be fighting in the near sea, and it is not equipped with deck guns......

"I'll interrupt......" Yang Rui coughed, interrupting Xu Jingxi, causing the generals in the room to look at him. He didn't care, and said: "The more I look at the comparison of strength between China and Japan, the more I feel that Japan has no chance of winning." In addition to surface ships - but even surface ships, with submarines and mines, they cannot participate in a land war, you say, why did Japan dare to fight with us? Don't think about it on the Russian side, the situation there is very stable, and the Tsar is happy to see China and Japan at war so that the Far East can be safe. ”

The question asked by Yang Rui made the generals present wonder and then thought deeply, even if the reserve was placed in the countryside because of secrecy. But it is clear that he has forty-two divisions, and this does not include the police and tax police in various places. Does Japan think that it can defeat two enemies?

After a short silence, Xu Jingxi said, "Sir." I think there should be two reasons, one is the inertia of Japan, the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese and Russian, the Japanese army is to win more with less, and the weak to defeat the strong, so they think that it is extremely natural for our army to be vulnerable, which is the psychological advantage of the strong over the weak; Second, we have always done a very good job in keeping gas masks secret, and the number of casualties of poisoning gas in the war of liberation has been written very well in the propaganda. According to the information of the intelligence service, the Japanese should have been armed with chlorine shells. They counted on a sudden use in a decisive battle to catch our troops off guard. These two points were enough to make him determined to go to war. ”

After Xu Jingxi finished speaking, Vice Admiral Zhu Luhe of the General Logistics added: "In fact, there is another key problem, that is, the Japanese Navy can block our saltpeter import channel, although we have built a lot of arsenals, but without saltpeter, then there is no ammunition, and without ammunition, then the war cannot be fought." In addition, the import of weapons and ammunition will be cut off by Japan after the war. ”

"Aren't we all using ammonia now? Why saltpeter? Yang Rui asked.

"Sir, the ammonia technology is top secret, so we are still importing saltpeter, although we don't use it." Zhu Luhe said helplessly. "I really don't know who I can sell this thing to,"

The war is fought in logistics, which is the independence of the General After. The reason for Zhu Luhe's promotion to the rank of lieutenant general. As soon as he said this, the military leaders laughed. Before the synthesis of ammonia, saltpeter was ammunition. The blockade of saltpeter is the blockade of ammunition, and now that synthetic ammonia is used in the country, the problem of insufficient ammunition will not appear at all.

"That's a problem!" Yang Rui suddenly thought of this, and he asked again: "What else can the Japanese blockade?" ”

"The military industry also needs to import metal nickel, which is an important raw material for the manufacture of gun barrels, gun barrels, and aircraft engines, but we have secretly hoarded hundreds of tons in the past two years, which can support two to three years, if it is not enough, these small amounts of metal can be transported by submarine, and the Philippines is actually very close." Zhu Lu and Dao.

"I'm okay with it, go ahead!" Yang Rui was relieved. The Japanese can still blockade with poisonous gas in their hands, coupled with the absolute superiority and arrogance of the navy, it is indeed understandable that they rushed over from the sea to send them to death.

“…… All the submarines ordered from Germany have been delivered, and the last submarines have left for China. Eight self-built submarines have already been launched, the keels of the next batch of 15 submarines have been laid two months ago, and after a six-month construction period, the construction of another 15 submarines has begun. In terms of time, by 16 months, we will have completed the construction of 50 submarines, and the number of main combat submarines will meet expectations.

In actual combat, it is impossible for all combat submarines to be put into battle, and it is estimated that they will be 30 percent maintenance, 20 percent sailing, and 50 percent operation. If Korea is occupied and the southern seaports of Korea are used, the transit time will be reduced, and the number of combat submarines will increase by 10 percent, and 60 percent of the submarines will be able to go to sea to fight. However, even so, one-third of the combat submarines must be used to escort the route from Shanghai to Taiwan, especially after the attack on the island, and in order to prevent the Japanese from landing, the submarines in the Taiwan direction must be strengthened.

Now that I've basically introduced the situation of the navy, let's look at the air force, which is the most disparity between the two countries. After sinking two seaplanes in the Battle of the East China Sea, Japan is now equipped with more than a dozen seaplanes, but these planes are not combat-capable and are mainly used for reconnaissance. At present, our army plans to equip 1,200 combat aircraft, including 800 torpedo bombers, 300 dive bombers, and 100 fighter planes.

To sum up the above introduction, the gap between our military and the Japanese army is mainly in surface ships, and the focus of the war is in the confrontation between submarines and aircraft and surface ships. Although many of the problems of torpedo bombers have been gradually resolved, they should still be treated with caution. That's my introduction. ”

After the introduction of the army's numbers, equipment, command, tactics, and logistics, the comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies is extremely intuitive; as far as the army is concerned, the revival army has an overall advantage in numbers, equipment, tactics, and logistical supplies, but in terms of high-level command, the Japanese army has the advantage, but the advantage is also very limited. After understanding this, Yang Rui was bored with blitzkrieg, why would such a weak opponent use blitzkrieg?

After Xu Jingxi introduced the comparison of military strength, after resting for ten minutes, Pei Shoutong began to introduce the Japanese army's strategy. "There are only three directions for the Japanese army to land in the north, one is from Korea along the Gyeongui line, this single-track railway can pass through 40 trains a day at the limit, with a transportation volume of 300 tons per car, it can transport 12,000 tons in a single day, and a division needs 35 tons of supplies per day, and this railway is barely enough for the daily supply of 35 divisions and regiments.

The second direction of the Japanese army was to land from Luda and then go north from the South Manchurian Railway, because it was a double-track railway, with a traffic capacity of 60 trains per day, which could replenish 18,000 tons of material in a single day. Relying on these three railways, if they can get supplies in the theater, the Japanese army will not have much problem supporting the 35 divisions and divisions to fight, and the intensity of the war will be slightly higher than that of the Russo-Japanese War. During the Russo-Japanese War, the logistical situation of both the Japanese and Russian armies was extremely poor, which made the commanders have to wait for the war materials to accumulate to a certain distance before launching an attack, so the war was like a wave, and many times, the final stage of the campaign often had a shortage of ammunition.

The third direction of the Japanese army is Tianjin Port, according to last year's figures, Tianjin Port handles 1.16 million tons of goods a year, and the highest throughput in recent years is the year before Shenwu, which handles 1.3 million tons of goods; In addition, according to the survey, in extreme cases, using the existing wharf, day and night, Tianjin Port can handle up to 3 million tons of cargo, but this requires a very large amount of manpower. In other words, the role of the port of Tianjin is at most equivalent to a railway, and this railway is still under the danger of submarines.

Logistically inferred, until the submarine threat is resolved, the port of Tianjin will not be the main operational direction of the Japanese army. The focus of its operations is still in the direction of Liaoning. However, Ludagang also faces a submarine threat, and we can't judge how the Japanese will come into contact with this threat, at which point the Gyeongui Line will provide most of the transportation, and the Japanese will need one to two months to stock up on supplies before launching an attack, as they did in the last Russo-Japanese War. Only after it occupies Shenyang and Tonghua can it turn its guns and enter the customs along the Beijing-Shenyang Railway to threaten Gyeonggi, and at this time it will be valuable to supply and land from the port of Tianjin......"

Pei Shoutong's main analysis is strategy, and when he said this, he lost the defense of the capital that Yang Rui envisioned. Yang Rui actually wanted to see those Qingliu public knowledge who fled in a hurry when Beijing was besieged, and the traitors were righteous and righteous, just like the current peace public Liang Qichao. During the First World War in history, this person attached himself to Duan Qirui, and with the support of Britain and Japan, he advocated that China should participate in World War I. All kinds of public knowledge, hysterical preaching, and all of them are without the support of various forces, and if these people are not allowed to be exposed in their true form, then once the great powers in Europe are finished, it will be difficult to clean up at home.

Yang Rui thought nonsense for a while, and after listening to Bei Shoutong's general strategy, he added loudly: "The Japanese Army is actually not strong, except for containing its surface ships and ensuring foreign trade routes, our real enemy is actually the entire Entente bloc. Before the war starts on the European side, before the Japanese 400,000 troops have landed, we can only retreat, not advance! You can only lose, you can't win!

Of course, defeat can only be a small defeat, or only a failure in propaganda figures, and only in this way will we not arouse the taboo of Russia. Although we have a secret agreement with them, the Russians will be very uneasy when they see our victory. For it, the best outcome of the Sino-Japanese war is that both end up together, and if one side wins, it can only be Japan and not us. Therefore, after you go back, you must support the ideological education work of the political commissars, and let every soldier understand that this battle should be as patient as catching birds, one, you can't let the birds fly, and second, you can't let the bullies rob the ...... when you catch the birds" (The novel "Heroes of the Late Qing Dynasty" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
