When the American and British military delegations visited prisoner of war camps, as well as areas where expatriates lived. He once protested against the physical labor of these Japanese prisoners of war, arguing that the actions of the Anti-Japanese Union were in violation of the Geneva Conventions. He also demanded that the Anti-Japanese Federation accept the supervision of the International Red Cross on the treatment of prisoners of war.

For the protest of the United States and Britain, Yang Zhen only had one sentence waiting for them. Yang Zhen clearly told them that the Anti-Japanese Federation, which is still in the development stage, does not have so many idle resources to feed these prisoners of war. They need to work in exchange for the necessary necessities of life.

As for the supervision of the International Red Cross, as long as the Japanese army also accepts the organization's supervision of Chinese prisoners of war captured by the Japanese army, there is no problem with the Anti-Japanese Federation. If the Japanese army refused to be supervised by the Red Cross, then the Anti-Japanese Union was not obliged to unilaterally agree to accept it.

Moreover, according to the crimes committed by these Japanese prisoners of war on the land of China, they did not treat the captured Chinese soldiers as they did in Nanjing, and it was already preferential treatment to allow them to engage in physical labor. Yang Zhen's answer, those American and British military representatives who love to worry about idleness are naturally very dissatisfied.

What they didn't expect was that when the Pearl Harbor Incident broke out and the Japanese army launched an offensive against Nanyang less than two or three months later, the hundreds of thousands of American, British, and Dutch prisoners of war who were captured were subjected to cruel treatment by the Japanese army, far exceeding the standard of the so-called abuse tendency of the Japanese prisoners of war in the eyes of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

When the Japanese army attacked India and Australia proper, they repeatedly used British prisoners of war as human shields. forced British prisoners of war to go to minefields for them and block the rain of bullets. As for the practice of bayonets, slashing, starvation, beatings, and heavy labor, they were all the more commonplace.

In order to build a railway from Burma to India, because of the poor living conditions, food and medicine were scarce, and the labor was heavy for a long time. The mortality rate of the more than 80,000 American, British, and Dutch prisoners of war who were forced to participate in road construction was as high as 70 percent. The rest of the project was also massacred after the completion of the project in order to cover up some secrets of the project.

Under the influence of some black hands, the Pacific War was far more cruel and bloody than the original history. The U.S. and British forces suffered heavy casualties and the extreme mistreatment of the captured personnel by the Japanese army. Reciprocal retaliation was also taken against Japanese prisoners of war and Japanese nationals in their respective jurisdictions.

Compared with the Japanese women captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation, they were only sent to garment factories and weaving factories for labor reform. Pregnant women are exempt from physical labor and are given some additional nutritional supplements. A number of Japanese schools were also set up to admit school-age children from among the diaspora, whose belongings could be retained under the prisoner of war policy.

In the end, the Americans went much more extreme. Immediately after the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States drove the Japanese expatriates into concentration camps in the shortest possible time. Beatings of these expatriates by U.S. military guards and residents of the camps have become commonplace.

Most of the women in the diaspora, from women in their fifties to children in their twelves and thirteens, were also raped. There were even concentration camp administrators who selected a group of women to run brothels. With extremely low prices and some special ways of playing, to attract some Americans who have a strong sense of patriotism, but cannot go to war, to take revenge on the dwarf beasts they call pigs and dogs.

In other words, if you can't beat the Japanese on the battlefield, you can go to the brothel to get revenge on the Japanese woman. Although this is a secret that is not made public, it is common in so-called Japanese custody areas throughout the United States. Moreover, these brothels were quite prosperous throughout World War II. This is similar to the fact that the Japanese captured women and female soldiers from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, and other countries as comfort women in the army.

In fact, compared with the Japanese treatment of prisoners of war, and the various retaliatory methods carried out by the United States and Britain against Japanese prisoners of war and local Japanese nationals in order to retaliate against the Japanese a few months later, Yang Zhen has always believed that his current treatment of prisoners of war is almost the same as that of saints.

Of course, these things are still out of reach for the United States and Britain, which are still claiming to uphold justice. For the Anti-United Nations, it is a digression that cannot be beaten by eight poles. The methods of the United States and Britain to treat Japanese expatriates and prisoners of war, Yang Zhen did not have so much time to worry about that idleness. As for now, he is more concerned about the issue of replenishing troops.

The potential of the soldiers in the old base areas has been tapped, and they are really unable to afford a large-scale military expansion. However, the new base areas are still being mobilized, and if they are not forcibly recruited, it will be difficult to replenish a large number of new recruits in a short period of time. At the same time, the number of people available for mobilization is also quite limited.

It is also quite difficult to replenish its own troops. In this Rehe operation, the casualties of the advancing army were nearly 10,000, and he was really a little difficult to satisfy. If you don't solve it, you will be labeled as standardist again. Nowadays, there are very many people who can't fight, but they are very good at buttoning hats.

It's better to say now, if more than ten years later, for some reason, some people will turn over the old accounts. With a big hat of self-centeredness or mountain-based doctrine buttoned down, Yang Zhen and the commander-in-chief are probably not going to have a good time. Yang Zhen didn't care, but the commander-in-chief didn't have his own prophetic prescination. If you are implicated in this way, which is only a small matter in a few years, but now it is a difficult thing, then you really can't do it.

And now that the advance army has solved it on its own, this is a great thing in his opinion. Although he still doesn't know at the moment, the mobilization of the advance army has caused much trouble to the Northeast Bureau. But in his opinion, no matter what the solution, as long as it can solve the problem, it is a good solution. He who can pull out pus is a good plaster.

With this news, Yang Zhen also made jokes when he relieved a certain amount of pressure. After all, the equipment is for him, even if he advances into the army and changes his outfit, the weapons captured in this battle are enough to meet most of his needs. Even if there is still a small gap left, he is not without a solution. But for the replenishment of the soldiers, he himself had a great headache.

Regarding Yang Zhen's joking words, showing his own attitude on this matter, the two old marshals hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. What he said is not wrong, and what we should do now is to seize the time to improve the military quality of the troops and lay a good foundation for the next step of operations and future development. As for the matter of splitting up the troops, we will wait until the battle is over.

To be honest, for the two veteran commanders, it is almost the essence of the two military regions that are now incorporated into the Advance Army. All of them were transferred and incorporated into the Anti-Japanese Federation at once, and it is basically impossible to say that they are not distressed. You must know that these are the real essence of the two major military regions, both of which are old bone troops and fist troops. Many of the troops were even the first batch of old troops formed after crossing the Yellow River eastward.

Although now that we are backed by the support of the Anti-Japanese Federation, there is no need to worry about weapons and equipment, but those commanders who have been trained for a long time, as well as veterans who have survived a hundred battles, will have no place to replenish them for a while. It will take time for the newly formed units to reach the combat effectiveness of the old units.

If Yang Zhen can negotiate with the central government, let the two military regions bring back some of the old troops. It will be quite advantageous for the two major military regions that have suffered heavy losses in the anti-sweeping battle to restore their vitality. At the very least, it will be of considerable benefit to accelerating the formation of the combat effectiveness of the new units and to expanding the strength of the troops in the future.

It's not that the two old commanders have any egoism and mountainism, but the two major military regions of Jinchaji and Taihang suffered too heavy losses in this sweep of the Japanese army in North China. The old troops, who did not have much left, were basically crippled in the brutal anti-sweeping battle, and it was quite difficult to recover their vitality in a short period of time.

Once they are incorporated into the elite of the two major military regions of the Advance Army, and all of them are incorporated into the Anti-Japanese Federation on the spot, then it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury to the two major military regions that are already suffering from vitality. This is a very unfavorable thing for the two major military regions to recover their vitality as soon as possible. Just as Yang Zhen said, you even took the pot away, how can you cook here?

If Yang Zhen can really negotiate with the central government, leaving some troops, even if he brings back half of the troops, it will also be of considerable benefit to the recovery of the vitality of the two major base areas. With these veteran units that have undergone training in the Anti-Japanese Federation and have made rapid progress in fighting as the backbone, the restoration and development of the two major military regions will be of considerable benefit.

Regarding Yang Zhen's idea, the two old marshals accepted it in a silent way. However, when it comes to the modification and training of troops, the commander's interest comes. Yang Zhen's proposal to replace the weapons and equipment will advance to the army's current two weapon calibers, all of which will be replaced with unified Japanese weapons or 79 calibers.

The commander could not deny it, as long as his troops were fully equipped and ammunition was sufficient, he would be satisfied. What kind of pot to eat, this is the old handsome's idea. Moreover, after the battle of these tens of thousands of advancing troops, they did not know which side they would return to, and the commander did not want to say too deeply.

For this principled old commander, no matter what result Yang Zhen will strive for with the central government, he must now carry out the orders of the central government. This is the true character of a soldier in his area. He will not change a day without a precise command. And this kind of outstretched hand, even in front of his old subordinates, he is reluctant to open his mouth.

Although for the weapons and equipment that Yang Zhen will advance to the army, the caliber should be unified first, and the current idea that the two calibers are not conducive to supply should be changed. As a veteran of the battlefield, the old coach naturally agrees. The more complex the caliber, the more likely it is that tactical supply will be problematic.

Previously, the troops had little ammunition and were constantly hungry and thirsty in terms of ammunition. With the exception of life-or-death battles, the average battle only gives a maximum of twenty rounds, which is not so much of a problem. However, in the current situation where the shortage of ammunition has changed, it is easy to cause accidents if there are too many caliber of ammunition.

Although the current caliber of weapons in the army has been reduced to two types, there is a world of difference from the previous wide range of calibers. But it's still easy to go wrong and troublesome. In this Rehe operation, there were more than one case in which 79 rifle bullets were delivered to the all-day armament unit.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, all the equipment used by the troops will be replaced with a unified caliber, even if the caliber of rifle bullets will be unified first, this old commander raised his hand in favor from the bottom of his heart. As the commander of the military family, where do you not understand the benefits of unifying the caliber of ammunition for the whole army?

Before, I was helpless, and I wanted to unify the way and source. Even the guns of a regiment cannot guarantee unity, what's the use, you can do one shot per person, even if it's pretty good, there are still so many pickers there? Now that there are opportunities and conditions, the old man naturally can't ask for it.

But at present, the Anti-Japanese Federation obviously needs to be expanded in order to meet the next operational needs in Yang Zhen's mouth, and his own demand for weapons and equipment must also be very large. Although, as a military commander, he craves the best equipment more than anyone else.
