As a matter of fact, Takeda Heng had long since given the order to choose the mountainous areas of the Japanese archipelago to establish an anti-Chinese revolutionary base and prepare for a long-term guerrilla war. However, Yasuo Yasuda, who remained in Japan to preside over the overall situation, has not been very interested in this, and until now that half of Japan is about to fall, he has not put this issue on the agenda. Now when he heard Terauchi Shouichi's question, he just smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Terauchi-kun, I know you're in a hurry, and I'm in a hurry, but you know what? Although the Japanese archipelago is mountainous, most of them are low hills, and the terrain is narrow and lacks depth, making it difficult to resist the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army, that is, the terrain of the Ou Mountains can barely make do, but, but it is ......"

Seeing Yasuo Yasuda looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Shouichi Terauchi took two steps forward, looked at him and said, "But what is it?" Order the establishment of a secret base in the Ou Mountains now! ”

Yasuda smiled bitterly: "What is there to build?" When the time comes, just take the rest of the troops directly into the mountains, but hundreds of thousands of troops are nested in the mountains without food or drink, I really don't know how long they can survive? ”

Terauchi Shouichi's face darkened, and at the military meeting a few days ago, Shinzaburo Mazaki, who was in charge of logistics, had reported that because industrial production in Japan had almost completely stagnated in the past few months, there was very little weapons and ammunition left for the Japanese Red Army. In addition, because a large number of young and middle-aged laborers were either incorporated into the Red Army or into the Red Guards, resulting in a large amount of farmland in Japan, the scale of this year's spring sowing is only about 50 percent of last year's, and it is really difficult to calculate the harvest, because no one knows how much Japanese land will still be under the control of the Red Army by the time of the autumn harvest. Moreover, the grain stocks in the hands of the Japanese Continental Defense Army are also about to bottom out. At most, it barely lasted until the autumn harvest, and if the Kanto Plain, Echigo Plain, and Ono Plain, the three traditional Japanese grain producing areas, were all lost before the autumn harvest, then there would be no need for the Chinese invading army to wipe them out. The remnants of the Japanese Red Army also had a hard time surviving the winter of 1936!

Shouichi Terauchi shook his head incessantly: "What should I do?" What to do? What are we going to do without food, without weapons, without ammunition? Is it really only possible to surrender to the Chinese? ”

Yasuo Yasuda smiled bitterly: "No way, what else can be done?" Just take some time...... It is difficult for the Soviet Union to survive this winter, and our little Japan can still defy the sky? I think that if we can raise the red flag until this time next year, it will be worthy of the cause of GCISM. ”

"Next summer?" Shouichi Terauchi's eyes flashed: "Yasuda-kun, what are you going to do?" Can the Kanto Plain hold until that time? ”

Yasuda looked at the temple and snorted softly: "Can the Kanto Plain be held until that time?" Don't you know better than I am? However, if you can't hold the Kanto Plain, you can still get enough food for hundreds of thousands of people to eat next autumn. It's just that...... What's the point of that? ”

"Of course it makes sense!" Shouichi Terauchi seemed to see some life-saving straw, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "As long as we can hold on in the Ou Mountains." It is still very likely to become another Shimazu family, as long as the fire can be kept, even if it waits for three hundred years, there will definitely be a chance for revenge! ”

The Shimazu family refers to the historical family of the Satsuma feudal lords in southern Kyushu, Japan, which is still alive today, and ran away to China in 1924. Now he is a member of the Kazuzu chaebol. It owns Shimadzu Kogyo, the largest glass manufacturing enterprise in China.

The words of Terauchi Shouichi refer to the Shimazu family's cousin after the Battle of Sekigahara, which was the largest group fight in Japan during the Warring States period, and the bosses of the two ends were Ishida Mitsunari (the actual boss, but few people actually listened to him) and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, and each side gathered a group of reactionary warlords to fight a decisive group fight in Sekigahara near the Ono Plain in Japan, and the Shimazu family at that time sided with Ishida Mitsunari who was defeated later. However, unlike other reactionary warlords who sided with Ishida Mitsunari and later ended up, the Shimazu family, who continued to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate by force for a year and a half, was not severely punished in the end. The territory has not been reduced, and the main family members have not committed suicide to apologize. And Tokugawa Ieyasu's crusade order. In the end, it didn't work, so I let the Shimazu family get through in a daze. As a result, more than 200 years later, in the late Edo era, the Satsuma clan of the Shimazu clan became the strongest force in the Shogunate force, and the Shimazu retainer Saigo Takamori also commanded an army to capture Edo Castle, the base of the Tokugawa family, which was regarded as revenge for the Battle of Sekigahara. Now Terauchi Shouichi also hopes that the Japanese Red Army can stick to the Shimazu family in history and get a result of superficial obedience but actual independence, even if it is only a part of the Japanese territory, there will be a day of revenge in the future.

But Yasuo Yasuda also knew that Shouichi Terauchi was lying to himself. Chang Ruiqing is not Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu does not have a nuclear fission bomb, but Chang Ruiqing has! If you want to survive in the mountains of Okuba, there is no hope of making an Shimazu family.

However, Yasuda still nodded heavily, and said to Terauchi Shouichi: "Evacuate the old and weak women and children from the six prefectures of Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, and Fukushima to Kanto Hirahara, so that the food in the northeast region is enough for 1 million Red Army troops to eat for a long time." ”

Shouichi Terauchi was stunned for a moment: "Yasuda-kun, what do you mean...... Throw the common people to the Chinese to ravage? ”

Yasuda actually nodded solemnly and said: "It's just a ravage, most of them can still survive, it's better than starving to death in the mountains, right?" ”

Terauchi Shouichi hesitated and nodded slightly. The feudal etiquette of starvation is small and festive is big, and there is no feudal etiquette in the minds of the Japanese. Now the temple is only thinking about the survival of the Japanese nation, and if you want to survive, you must first save your life, and if everyone dies, what hope is there? He was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Okay, at the military meeting later, we will propose together the evacuation of the population of the six northeastern prefectures and the establishment of a base in the Ou Mountains." ”

……

Shanghai, Wusongkou Military Port.

The misty drizzle was falling in the drizzle, and in the drizzle, cheerful music was played. The masses organized by the GCD, the National Socialist Party, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, the Zuomin Youth League, and the Zuomin Shrine were waving flags in the distance and shouting with cheers.

On the edge of the wharf, the gangway of the Guangdong battle cruiser had been lowered, and Chang Ruiqing, who had returned from his visit to Japan, had already disembarked at this time, and was talking in a low voice with Chen Duxiu and Zhou Elai, who came to greet him, on the pier.

"Zhongfu, Xiangyu, what's going on with the preparations for the visit to the United States? The invitation of the U.S. government has been issued, when can you, President Mao, and Minister Zeng leave? ”

"After President Mao has inspected the situation in the rural areas of Hunan, he will leave, and it will be mid-July at the latest." Zhou Elai said with a smile.

"Did the president go to Hunan?" Chang Ruiqing was silent, shook his head and said: "There is no way out, the small peasant economy is still a feudal production relationship in the final analysis, and it is impossible to withstand the impact of capitalist large-scale production. He looked at Chen Duxiu and said, "Mr. Zhongfu, did you say that?" ”

Chen Duxiu nodded silently and said with a wry smile: "The Fishery and Peasants' Association, the Ministry of Agriculture has tried its best to help the farmers over the years, but the suffering of the farmers is still under the nine lands, compared with them, the life of the industrial workers in the city can be regarded as above the nine heavens." ”

"There are so many peasants!" Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and walked towards the VIP passage of the dock, and Zhou Elai and Chen Duxiu hurriedly followed outside together. Zhou Elai said: "The gap between workers and peasants is a problem, and many comrades in the party have also realized it during this period, and have also put forward a lot of proposals, and some people believe that it is possible to increase investment in rural construction and realize rural urbanization. ”

"How can the countryside be urbanized?" Chang Ruiqing asked with a smile. He had heard the term "rural urbanization" in his previous life, but he studied history and did not know much about contemporary affairs, but only vaguely knew that rural urbanization had something to do with the development of small and medium-sized towns.

"There is no definite number on how to do it, but I always feel that we should take the road of coordinated development of large, medium, and small cities and small towns, improve the comprehensive carrying capacity of cities and towns, develop in an orderly and gradual manner, make rational plans, rationally distribute, and actively and steadily promote urbanization. Zhou E said as he walked.

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said: "Whether blind development is not up to us, but depends on the wishes of the people and the choice of the market." Are ordinary people willing to live in small and medium-sized cities and towns? Or would you like to gather in the eight metropolises? I think they are willing to live in big cities, so what I mean is to conform to the will of the people, build megacities, and save a lot of small and medium-sized towns that no one lives in. ”

He paused and said: "Of course, I am not saying that small and medium-sized cities and small towns should not be developed, such as some cities or towns that have industrial support and rely on industrial development should still develop, and the federal government will still give financial and tax support." But there are only eight federally supported metropolitan cities, and there will never be a ninth. Zhongfu and Xiangyu, let me bet you, in 20 years at most, more than half of the population of the Federation will be concentrated in the metropolitan agglomeration with Shanghai, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Guangdong, Wuhan, Beijing, Tianjin, and Kanto Prefecture as the core. There will even be three urban agglomerations, namely Shanghai-Nanjing, Guangdong-Hong Kong, and Beijing-Tianjin. (To be continued......)
