Chapter 463: Offensive against Taiwan(2/2)
It is precisely for this reason that although North Korea and China border and at least one million troops are stockpiled on the border between North Korea and China, Yan Guang did not immediately launch an offensive against North Korea.
On the contrary, Taiwan...
Although Taiwan does not border China, if you want to attack Taiwan, you will first need to cross the Taiwan Strait, which is hundreds of kilometers wide, but the same is true for the same. As long as you can grasp the air and sea control rights of the Taiwan Strait, it will be equivalent to separating Taiwan and Japan.
And today, China is precisely in control of these two things.
After all, compared with Japan, China has an extremely large roadbed air force, and its performance is far beyond that of Japan.
In addition, at sea, not only are there a large number of small fleets of light cruisers raiding colonies such as Japan and Taiwan, but especially transport fleets that transport various materials to Japan, which have contacted Southeast Asia and Australia, have played a huge role in the Kwai conflict, and ultimately forced the submarine forces that Japan had to negotiate peace to begin to play a role.
Although Japan has attached great importance to anti-submarines in recent years, and has studied the relationship between quite complete escort measures and a large number of anti-submarine equipment for this purpose, the destruction of the submarine forces did not make the Japanese ecstasy like the time of the conflict in the library.
But even so, it performed well...
The most important thing is to forget that although China and Taiwan are separated by a Taiwan Strait hundreds of kilometers wide, Japan is only farther away from China. Even the nearest Okinawa is quite far away from Taiwan...
It is precisely for this reason that Taiwan is like a useless to the Japanese...
It is indeed a pity to give up. After all, the Japanese have been operating in Taiwan for many years and have deep feelings for Taiwan. Just giving up Taiwan like this is not a very simple choice for the Japanese.
But guard...
If you keep it, the Japanese may not be able to keep it...
After all, Taiwan is too far from Japan. Although this distance does not matter in the past, it is a very fatal thing now...
It is precisely because of this feeling of worrying about gains and losses that the Japanese have invested a lot of resources in Taiwan, but they have not invested all of them...
———————————————————
The Japanese are worried about gains and losses there, but the Chinese are not. After all, for Yan Guang and others, Taiwan is China's inherent territory, a territory that was stolen by the Japanese decades ago...
After the end of the First World War, he did not ask the Japanese for Taiwan, but just to seek greater benefits in the future, but this does not mean that Yan Guang would not take back this territory.
And now, it is the best opportunity to regain Taiwan…
So after taking Penghu, the Kuomintang-Social government transferred more materials to Fuzhou and Xiamen, while transferring a large-scale air force to several air bases that had been repaired on the Penghu Islands.
Compared with the National Socialist Government, the Japanese support for Taiwan is pitifully less...
But this is also impossible, because the Japanese already know very well that Taiwan will definitely be a colony that will be lost under the offensive of the National Socialist Government...
It is not worth investing a lot of resources for such a colony that will definitely be lost. It is not worthwhile for Japan, which is very tight in resources. Of course, Japan has been operating in Taiwan for many years and has some very beneficial chaebols in Taiwan. These chaebols have a great influence even in the Japanese government. In addition, Taiwan’s important position in Japan is far higher than other colonies won in the center of the war. It is difficult to give up Taiwan so easily, even for ordinary Japanese people...
So on the surface, the Hideki Tojo government still supported Taiwan with certain support, but unfortunately, this is just on the surface...
At this time, not only hundreds of thousands of national defense forces in Yunnan had begun to arrive at the Thai border, but even Wang Yaowu's 13th Army and Dai Anlan's 17th Army were ready...)
