Chapter 6 Stalemate Section 8 Turning Point (4)
High! The roots of the drunkenness are so strong that the year is moving back and forth! "Xi Village Junxu will not understand. If China does not have civil strife, the empire will not be able to conquer China. The more stable the anti-Japanese national united front in China, the more opportunities we have, and now it seems that our opportunities are getting more and more."
Nishimura did not refute this conclusion was an almost semi-public secret. Before the Lugou Bridge Incident... Japanese senior officials could draw the conclusion that Japan was strong from that perspective, industrial capacity, financial situation, military combat effectiveness, and social organizations. This strength was not only a little stronger, but many times more. Therefore, Japan believed that as long as it came in, the resistance of Chiang Kai-shek's government would soon collapse and they could easily win, the old northeast, the eighth Shanghai and the Rehe Great Wall all proved this.
But after the war broke out, the Japanese discovered that China, which was originally a mess, suddenly became united, and whether it was a bandit or a warlord, they had to resist. The entire war turned into a big quagmire, and they stepped in. But they could not pull out their feet.
"Actually, we have a chance to force Chiang Kai-shek to make peace." Rigao Yusuke said this drunk, but stopped. Hear the hostess and took another pot of wine: "Come on, Nishimura, cheers."
Nishimura waited for a while and drank a few drinks. But he never heard what the opportunity was said by Ritaka Nosuke again. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Ritaka, what is this opportunity?"
"You are still pretending to be stupid." Ritakasuke disagreed: "Nikumura, what are you doing? Come and ask me
Nishimura was stunned and shook her head: "I don't understand, please let me tell you clearly."
Rigaosuke looked at him quietly. His eyes made Nishimura a little confused, confused, and three-point uneasy: he was at a loss when he broke up. Rigao laughed: "Okay, I will lift your veil, don't make people think that our North China dispatched troops are not alone, and don't let the Germans underestimate our Yamato nation.
"What is the moral delegation doing? Isn't it just to investigate the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army, why do you try to investigate them? There is only one reason. They want to attack the Soviet Union. I have read the struggle of Hitler's head of state. He has long said that he should seek living space from the East. He is really doing what he said, great, amazing."
Ritakanosuke gave a thumbs up, but Nishimura was shocked. He accompanied the morality delegation to the Mongolian Governor Governor Governor, and met with the morality delegation with Naosaburo, the commander of the garrison commander of the garrison Governor. Of course, he also guessed that Germany might take action against the Soviet Union. However, Ritakanosuke only guessed Germany's future military operations from the visit of the morality delegation, which was a bit incredible.
"We have an agreement with the Soviet Union. Even if Germany attacks the Soviet Union, we can stand by and watch Nishimura calm down and look at Ritakanosuke thoughtfully.
"Wrong, completely wrong." Ritakanosuke shook his head firmly: "I know that after the signing of the Soviet-Japan Treaty, some people in Tokyo thought that the next strategic direction of the empire should be to go south, which is exactly the wrong one."
Speaking of this, he stood upright and his face was slightly excited and flushed red: "There is a basic principle for combat, and the concentrated use of troops. According to this principle, once a war between Germany and the Soviet Union is broadcast, we should fulfill the obligations stipulated by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, immediately attack the Soviet Union and drag down the Soviet Russian Far Eastern forces so that the German army can operate on its western front."
Nishimura was a little stupid. He did not expect that Ritakanosuke's understanding was contrary to the mainstream understanding in Tokyo. Tokyo believed that only by going south could he obtain resources to continue the war. On the contrary, when going north, Siberia was cold and resources were hidden, it would be of no help to the empire.
"Why?" Nishimura frowned: "We just signed a treaty with the Soviet Union, which actually lifted our obligations to Germany. We can wait and see the outcome of the war
Ritakanosuke shook his head again and looked at him with great regret: "This is a short-sighted approach, very stupid."
Nishimura's face suddenly turned purple and red. He opened his mouth to speak, but Gao Nosuke rushed to him and said, "From the long run, our alliance with Germany is more firmer. Soviet Russia is our long-term enemy. This war, Empire, Germany, Italy is one side. China, Soviet Russia and Britain are the other side. Among these two groups, Soviet Russia and Germany are the main forces. Once the Soviet-German War is achieved, Britain will not be able to hold on. He will inevitably withdraw from the war. In the re-scramble of the sphere of influence, the empire will obtain the colonies of European powers in the South China Sea, and we will have the resources to continue the war. But the whole world has stopped resisting. Can China still persist? Chiang Kai-shek is afraid that he does not have the courage. Nishimura Jun, this is the way to end the war, not going south.
Nishimura looked at Ritakanosuke blankly. He didn't expect Ritakanosuke to send such a message.
"Gao Ren." In his negotiations with the moral affairs delegation, he clearly felt the contempt of the moral affairs personnel. They believed that the Japanese army's equipment training and tactics were still stuck during the last war, and compared with Germany, it was a whole era. "Nomenkan and Zhang Gufeng's battles proved that the Soviet Far Eastern troops were strong, and the imperial army would probably go north and the emperor's brows were deep into a heart of Sichuan.
"In this war, Germany is always the center. If Germany is defeated, can we still fight?" Ritakanosuke lazily added another cup to himself, and also filled Nishimura with all his skills.
"This is to murmuring to the north even if you make sacrifices, Ritakanosuke nodded with a smile. The sushi on the table had already been finished, and only a few empty wine pots were left.
"Nikang, hurry up and go back." Ritakanosuke started to drive Nikko to Nikko. He had been here for a long time: "Leave the guests there alone, but your master ran away. This is probably not a way to entertain guests."
"Li Gaojun, let's go over and talk together. Wu Xu and the others don't need our help at all." Nishimura stood up and invited.
Ritakanosuke frowned: "No need? Are they too arrogant?"
As he said that, he struggled to stand up. Nishimura went over to help him up. The two of them supported each other and walked out of Kikuxiang Pavilion. The waitresses he met in the corridor made way. The waitress who was responsible for entertaining Rigao Nosuke tried to come and help, but they were pushed aside by the two of them. They arrived at the door of the private room in Nishimura. The waitress who was waiting aside opened the door and the two of them went in.
Ritakanosuke took a peek and saw three Germans in the room. They were not wearing military uniforms, but in suits, and one was with the Aocheng Mountain. The other person didn't know him, and it seemed like he was a fenze.
"Colonel Ligao". Xiaoshan of Qingcheng immediately stood up and helped the two of them sit down. Shanze quickly explained to the Deok-kun official. The Deok-kun looked at the Deokunosuke who broke in with disdain. This drunken officer, although the Japanese present seemed to respect him very much.
"This is Colonel Ritakanosuke, the combat section of the North China Expeditionary Force." Aochung Koyama introduced to the Germans, and then introduced to Ritakanosuke: "Your Excellency Colonel Masik, the head of the moral affairs delegation, this is Lieutenant Colonel Janik, and this is Major Verner."
Ritakanosuke gave them a slight polite manner with the Japanese, while Nishimura was much more formal and he knelt at the table: "Rigaojun is the best officer of our North China Expeditionary Army."
"Sir, when will your country's attack on the Soviet Union be launched?" Ritakanosuke interrupted Nishimura and asked directly.
The three German officials were stunned and exchanged glances with each other. It was not a secret that Germany wanted to attack the Soviet Union in Tokyo. Germany sent a huge military delegation to Tokyo, with the purpose of evaluating Japan's military power and requiring Japan to launch an attack on the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War.
However, their inspection of the garrison troops in Manchuria and Mongolian Xinjiang made them very disappointed. The Japanese army's equipment and training were first-class in Asia, but according to German standards, they were very backward, especially their understanding and use of tanks. They still used tanks in dispersed manner and turned a blind eye to the success experiences achieved by the German army in Europe. If such troops were placed in Europe, they would be easily defeated by Germany.
But they also knew that only the Tokyo senior officials knew about the plan to attack the Soviet Union, but the officer asked when he would attack the Soviet Union as soon as he entered the door, which shocked them. "Don't tell me when." Ritakanosuke asked again without waiting for their answer: "I hope I know, how do you hope we can cooperate with you?"
Masik calmed down and asked: "Your country is deeply trapped in the Chinese battlefield. The main force attacks the Chinese government forces in the south. How many troops can we draw to attack the Soviet Union?"
Ritsunosuke sneered and shook his head. Now he is not as implicit as the Japanese but is sharp: "Lieutenant Colonel, Clausewitz is a German. You may not have read this great work on war, you should concentrate on using troops. The Three Kingdoms Alliance brings us into one. This war is a war between our three countries against Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. We and either side of you will fail, and the other side will also fail. So we must first concentrate our troops to defeat Britain, or the Soviet Union, and I think defeating the Soviet Union is particularly important.
"Why? Britain has a wide range of colonies. If the land is lost, they can rely on the resources and manpower of the colonies with the support of the United States to continue the war, so Britain seems to be very difficult to fight. On the contrary, what about the Soviet Union? Stalin's anti-counterfeiting seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, and he had no ally. Once it was defeated, the Soviet Union had to surrender. Map. As long as we conquer the Soviet Union, half of the territory on the map would be under our command knife. Can Britain continue to fight? Does the United States dare to interfere with us? The Three Kingdoms alliance will be invincible! So I want to know, once you start attacking, what kind of cooperation do we need?"
