But the situation in the homeland is a pressing situation for the Japanese, and it is impossible not to move. If we don't move and let the situation develop, the entire Japanese Army will be completely cut off. And if we don't move, in addition to Tokyo and Incheon, North Korea, which have been bombed to the ground, the cities of Osaka, Nagoya, Kokura, and Sagami, together with the arsenals there, will not be able to be saved at all.

By the end of the four or three years, most of these cities were only half-built, and Osaka, like Tokyo, had only one-third of the urban area left. If you don't find a place to move away quickly. In the event that the arsenal, which is equivalent to a powder keg, is completely blown up, the remaining half may not be able to be saved.

In those cities, there can be a large concentration of citizens. Delay and let them bomb. At that time, not only will the arsenal not be able to be saved, but judging from their posture of not razing the entire city to the ground, it is likely that millions of citizens will be involved. There is at least a glimmer of life after moving, and at least it can give the local people a breather.

The Japanese Army couldn't figure out how this anti-union could compete with itself. According to the scope of the US and British bombing of Germany, all the arsenals of the army, navy, and air force should be within the bombing targets. How did you get to them, specifically looking for the Japanese Army's arsenal to bomb?

If you don't bomb naval targets, the steel mills should always be within your targets. Steel is the foundation of war, and all weapons and equipment cannot be played without steel. But the target of the Yawata Iron and Steel Plant, you stare at it as if you didn't see it. Only bomb the army's arsenals and aircraft factories, and not the kind of targeted bombing. It is to erase the city where these arsenals are located from the map.

The Army, which had been forced to move its own home, could only relocate a considerable part of these arsenals to South Manchuria, which at least seemed safe for now, under the eyes of the Navy gloating, in accordance with the intention of the Anti-Japanese Union. That's right, at this time, I haven't forgotten the infighting navy, and I am indeed gloating about what happened to the army.

Although the Navy's arsenal was also bombed by the US military, the bombing force invested by the US military at that time was far less than the number of bombers invested by the Anti-United Nations, and the intensity was much smaller than that of the Anti-United Nations. In addition, a series of disputes and interference between the US military and the Anti-Japanese Federation have been caused by some cost conversion issues.

In the past four or three years, the intensity of the US military's bombing of the Japanese mainland was far less than that of the Anti-Japanese Union. It wasn't until June 44, when a large number of U.S. B-29 bombers were bombed, that the Navy couldn't really laugh. However, although the navy was also bombed during the four or three years, it was absolutely not as bad as the army.

So in the past four or three years, the Navy has not only been able to laugh, but it has been so comfortable to laugh. The Army, which was ridiculed by the Navy, refused to share bombing intelligence and air defense experience with the Navy. The Navy refused to set up its own radar stations, as well as the Guantong Station, to provide intelligence to the Army. Far from easing the gap between the army and navy because of the unfavorable situation in the war, the gap between the army and the navy has been slightly eased, but on the contrary, it has deepened more and more.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to be ridiculed by the navy, this relocation operation was also a good choice in the eyes of the Japanese military high-level in the situation that the mainland was bombed everywhere. As long as the troops against South Manchuria are increased and the South Manchurians are held, these arsenals may not necessarily be really dangerous.

On the contrary, it is safer than being bombed every day on the Japanese mainland. The situation was pressing, and the Japanese finally let go of their last reserve and transferred a considerable part of their local military industry to South Manchuria. Even with gritted teeth of hatred for the Navy, the Army still made the most realistic choice.

As for the navy's love to laugh, let them laugh, sooner or later one day they won't be able to laugh. Don't forget, Americans aren't good stubbles either. The main thing to confront the Americans in the Pacific Ocean is the Navy, and can the Americans spare those shipyards and arsenals of your Navy, as well as aircraft factories? If that's the case, is it really a hell of a life?

By the end of the 43rd year, the output of the Mukden Arsenal had not only fully recovered the output it had before the war, but also greatly increased the output of the entire arsenal with the relocation and merger of the Japanese mainland arsenal into South Manchuria. The production of light weapons and ammunition has quadrupled. Of course, if the local government can provide enough steel for guns, there is basically no problem in maintaining this production.

In addition to the Mukden Arsenal, which was repaired by the Japanese with all its might, partially resumed production within two months. In the coal mines of Fushun and the iron mines of Benxi and Gongchangling, the Japanese army also captured a large number of laborers and replaced the dismantled or destroyed machinery with manpower. At all costs, the Chinese lives were exchanged for urgently needed coal, and production resumed after half a year.

Although production is no longer the same as in the past, only one-third of its original annual production, at least partially restored. However, the steelworks in Anshan and Benxi, the special steel and non-ferrous metal smelting in Fushun and Mukden, and the artificial oil and aluminum industries have also been restored at all costs.

It's just that some of the key equipment that originally relied on imports was dismantled, and the local production could not be replenished, so that the recovery of these industries by the Japanese was unusually slow. In particular, the entire demolished Fushun Aluminum Plant, Fengtian and Fushun two special steel plants, and two artificial petroleum refineries actually have no value to recover. After several efforts, the plan to restore the factory was finally abandoned.

As for the restoration of the Anshan Steelworks, the Japanese did not dare to transfer the domestic steel mills such as the Yawata Steel Works to Nanman, as they did with the transfer of the arsenal. Whoever is not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what if. The Showa Steel Works in Anshan, the second largest steel mill, has been half-defeated, and if the Yawata Steel Works is to be transferred to Nanman, it will also be transferred. In case Nanman really loses it, then Japan really does not have the capital to maintain the war.

The Arsenal also left the Osaka Artillery Factory and the Tokyo No. 2 Arsenal as necessary precautions. But the steel mill is not the same thing. The Showa Steel Works and the Benkeiko Coal and Steel Works have already been lost, and if the Yawata Steel Plant is lost, it will be equivalent to two-thirds of Japan's steel production.

War is about steel, and if there is no steel, then war is a fart. Add to this the huge expense and long time of relocating the steel plant, as well as the resolute opposition of the Navy. In the end, Japan's largest steel mill, Yawata Steelworks, remained on Japanese soil.

Besides, when the Anti-Japanese Union bombed the Japanese mainland, the chief engineer carefully avoided these steel plants. These steel mills were basically not bombed. Although the top brass of the Japanese army, including the top brass of the navy, could not understand why the Anti-Japanese Union did not bomb these steel plants. But the local situation suggests that the steel mills are safe, at least for now.

The stingy Japanese, not to mention the Yawata Iron and Steel Works, and even the smaller Muroran Steel Works and Kamaishi Steel Works were reluctant to dismantle them. However, in order to restore steel production in Anshan, make full use of the iron ore resources of South Manchuria. The Japanese built a batch of small blast furnaces of 20 tons by surprise, and two more blast furnaces were transported from the mainland and Korea, and production was barely resumed.

However, despite several efforts, Showa Steel has not returned to its original production capacity. During the last two years in the hands of the Kwantung Army, the maximum annual output was only more than 100,000 tons of crude steel and 200,000 tons of pig iron. Because of the loss of a large number of technicians and skilled workers, the quality of the only tens of thousands of tons of steel is also the old lady's New Year, and it is not as good as a year.

Under the circumstance of limited investment, until the entire South Manchurian was completely recovered by the Anti-Japanese Union in 44 years, it was not able to fully resume production. Eventually, China's largest steel company, by the time it fell into the alliance, its production capacity had fallen to its lowest level since its establishment.

As for the steel industry, which the Japanese eventually stayed in, it was only after the Japanese announced their surrender that they understood why these most important steel bases in the war were able to survive the entire bombing of Japan. Although there were some bombs, they were not damaged. It turned out that the Chinese had already hit the idea of these steel mills during the war.

After the Japanese announced their unconditional surrender. The Anti-Japanese Union took advantage of the fact that it had already occupied most of Korea and was already close to the Japanese mainland. Within two days of Japan's unconditional surrender, an infantry division and an armored brigade were dispatched to protect a large number of technicians and preemptively cross the Korean Strait through southern Korea into the Japanese mainland.

The 1st Airborne Division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, on the second day after the Japanese announced their unconditional surrender, adopted the method of airborne and airborne cooperation, and became the first wave of Allied troops to land on the Japanese mainland. These anti-coalition forces, which were the first to enter the Japanese mainland, took advantage of the fact that the US troops were still far away in Okinawa. A large-scale demolition of Japan's local industry was carried out, which can be called the largest in the history of Japan.

The anti-coalition forces that landed on the Japanese mainland had a clear division of labor, and the 1st Airborne Division cooperated with the navy and was responsible for the navy and shipbuilding industry. This infantry division and armored brigade took advantage of their mobility to sweep through most of Japan's territory, starting with the Japanese metallurgical, optical, and mechanical manufacturing industries that Yang Zhen named.

With the assistance of Japanese prisoners of war who were forcibly disarmed by the Anti-Japanese Union, all the equipment and technical personnel of the Japanese metallurgical industrial bases such as Muroran, Kamaishi, Kobe, and Osaka were concentrated, as well as engineering and science professors in the university. In addition to most of the goods rushed back by sea, the rest was transported back to the Northeast across the Korean Strait and through the railway system on the Korean Peninsula.

Even the U.S. military, which later landed in Japan, was not able to completely stop the looting of Japanese industry by the Anti-Japanese Resistance League that landed in Japan. The professors of the university and the engineers of various factories, from medicine to engineering, almost all subjects related to industrial construction were transported back to the Northeast by the anti-combined transport plane as soon as possible.

By the time the US troops landed on the Japanese mainland in large numbers, the anti-coalition operation had been roughly two-thirds of the way through. Even though the Americans took advantage of the superiority of the navy and air force to quickly blockade the coast of Japan and seize some of the equipment that had been dismantled by the Anti-Japanese Union. In particular, the Yawata Iron and Steel Plant has retained nearly half of its equipment. But by the time it took measures, it was already half a step too late.

Although two-thirds of Japan's industry in Kyushu has been preserved, more than two-thirds of Japan's other parts of industry have been lost. In particular, the northern part of Honshu Island and the entire Hokkaido industrial area, where the US military finally arrived, basically did not leave even Mao to the Japanese.

Especially in the industries that Yang Zhen focuses on, such as optics, electronics, machining, and engine manufacturing, there is nothing left. Kamaishi and Muroran, two of Japan's most important steel industrial bases, were completely relegated to an agrarian society. The Yawata Iron and Steel Works was too large to be dismantled, although it was not finally dismantled. But everything that could be dismantled in a short time, the lighter equipment, along with the two latest blast furnaces, was removed.

After the Meiji Restoration, only a quarter of the modern industries that had been painstakingly operated for nearly 100 years, as well as a large number of industrial personnel and experts in agriculture and animal husbandry, were left behind. The leaders of several major Japanese conglomerates and all their backbones, including the heirs, were also brought back to China in the name of war criminals.
