479 Red Terror June Ticket
Today's third update, now the first update is here, I'm asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket
There seemed to be a one-sided situation at the Politburo meeting in Japan. Except for the General Political Commissar of the Red Army, Hiroshi Takeda, all the members did not agree to the war in North Korea.
But Takeda Yuki still calmly and talked freely: "The opinions put forward by Comrade Nosaka and others from the Politburo also have some truths, but they are not enough to solve the current problems encountered by the Japanese Revolution. Speaking of the problems we are facing now, we must analyze them from the root of the success of the Japanese Revolution.
9.3 The fundamental reason for the emergence of the Tokyo Revolution and the subsequent rise of our Japanese and Japanese Red Army, I think it is the comprehensive Japanese national crisis brought about by the failure of the Sino-Japanese War. It is precisely because of the incompetence of the old Japanese imperial government in the Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent compromise policy pursued by the Japanese Provisional Government, which caused some patriotic patriots who were unwilling to make Japan become a vassal of China forever joined our camp. It is with their help, and of course the selfless assistance of the Soviet Union that the Japanese GCD and the Japanese Red Army were able to grow rapidly and seize the Japanese regime in just a few months.
Therefore, the essence of the Japanese Revolutionary Party is a national revolution. Most of the comrades who participated in the revolution fought to revive Japan, rather than to establish a proletarian dictatorship in Japan! This is the reality of the Japanese revolution. We can only recognize and adapt, and we cannot ignore this objective fact and forcefully promote some measures that have nothing to do with saving the Japanese national crisis. For example, indiscriminately suppressing the so-called counter-revolutionary samurai class!
Of course, for real counter-revolutionary samurai, we should still adopt a policy of resolute suppression, but we should hold up the banner of saving the country and strengthening the country, unite the vast number of patriotic samurai, and use the name of Japanese traitors to suppress some samurai who insist on a stubborn reactionary stance!"
This statement is equivalent to publicly denying the current route implemented by the Japanese Communist Party, which surprised the members of the Japanese Politburo present. Takeda's behavior is not a joke in GCD. To put it lightly, it is also a wrong route. If you want to exaggerate it, it is anti-party and socialism, which can be killed by shooting! But look at Takeda Hiroshi, who is obviously confident, is it because the Soviet godfather is supported by? When everyone thinks of the Soviet godfather, everyone dares to speak for a while, because the Japanese have already tasted what internal and external troubles are, and the only thing they rely on is this godfather.
If sending troops to North Korea means godfather, then no matter how difficult it is, Japan will have to bite the bullet and send troops there. So everyone's eyes turned to GC International Chairman Skryngsky, waiting for his old man to express his opinion.
"Comrades, my opinion is that the Japanese revolution must take into account the actual situation of Japan." Skryngsky finally spoke slowly, speaking in Russian. A Japanese translator provided by a Japanese citizen immediately translated his words into Japanese and passed them on to everyone. However, most of the Japanese political bureau members present could understand Russian. "Japan is different from the Soviet Union. Revolution was to win a victory in a country with strong militarism and feudalism. Moreover, the banner of revolution was to save the country and strengthen the country from the beginning, rather than establishing a proletarian dictatorship. If Japanese citizens were to do so, they would not be able to establish a proletarian dictatorship.
Now I give up the banner of saving the country and making the country stronger and fight the banner of class revolution. Then the comrades who were united around Japan to save the country and make the country stronger will inevitably leave Japan and the Japanese revolution will face the fate of failure. So my opinion is that Japan must continue to hold high the banner of saving the country and strengthen the country and announce its troops to North Korea with great fanfare. While sending troops to Korea, Japan can successfully carry out the work of suppressing counter-revolution in the country, and after completing the suppression of counter-revolutionaries and consolidating the revolutionary regime, we can further carry out socialist transformation of Japanese society and the Soviet state will be worthy of its reputation."
"But the majority of the citizens in China oppose the re-fight with China. If we conquer South Korea with a high profile, will these people stand against us?" Katayama Kazuya asked questions directly in Russian without waiting for the translation to repost Skrynsky's words.
Indeed, the Japanese people split into China after the Kanto earthquake, and China was afraid of China and the three factions. Any issues involving China will cause endless debate in Japan, and the top leaders of Japan have also become a little afraid of China.
The conference room was silent. Everyone was waiting for Skryngsky to make a decision. Skryngsky didn't seem to dare to make a decision easily. After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Comrades! Now the situation is that if the Japanese are facing a high-ranking country and sending troops to North Korea, they can win at least about 40% of the national support. If they put down the banner of saving country and using class revolution as a call, they are afraid that they will not even have a 40% support rate."
As soon as these words were said, everyone understood that Takeda Yuki really held the thick legs of the Soviet Union. However, everyone did not agree with the war with China and did not dare to publicly object, so the conference room was silent again. However, Skrynsky had a complete arrangement and continued: "Of course, sending troops to Korea is just the banner of Japan's GCD to unite people's hearts, and it is not really about fighting a full-scale war with China. According to the situation under GC International, last year's Sino-Japanese War had dealt a heavy blow to Chinese imperialism, and the Chinese are now busy
To heal the trauma of war and stabilize the domestic economy, there is no plan to go to war with the Soviet Japan, nor to help North Korea unify the Korean Peninsula. So as long as it is done properly, we can fight a low-intensity regional war on the Korean Peninsula. This will be a war that can help Japan consolidate its regime and win people's hearts... As for the food crisis facing Japan, the Soviet Union has decided to provide part of the aid, and the remaining gap can be resolved through aid from other countries, which is not inconsistent with your defense of North Korea."
After Skryngsky said these words, his eyes swept away the Japanese chairman Katayama-Kanoyama who was sitting next to him. Seeing that the other party was still frowning, he spoke in a deep voice: "Comrade Trotsky just sent me a telegram. He fully supported Comrade Takeda's suggestion, believing that Comrade Takeda can combine the universal truth of Marxism with the practice of the Japanese revolution and is the most outstanding Marxist in Japan!"
Katayama's face was slightly cold, he just gritted his teeth and nodded, and looked at Takeda Hiroshi. He understood that this thirty-year-old Korean-Japanese Red Army general political commissar had already held Trotsky's thick legs, and he might be the first person in Japan in the future!
...
Just as the Japanese GCD Central Political Bureau, with the insistence of GC International President Skryngsky, made the decision to "integrate Japan and South Korea, resist China and protect North Korea". The National Government of Nanjing is busy shifting the country from a wartime state to a peaceful state with a focus on economic development. It is spread all over the country, projects that temporarily suspended work or slowed down construction due to the Sino-Japanese War began to accelerate. The National Defense Army, which expanded due to the war, also began to demobilize officers and soldiers, and gradually changed its organization to a normal organization.
However, while the infantry army of the National Defense Forces was completely reduced, the armored soldiers of the Chinese Defense Forces finally saw the dawn of great development. Although the powerful German industry still did not design the hunter tank (actually assault guns or tank destroyers) that Chang Ruiqing proposed. However, France and Germany cooperated to develop an infantry accompanying tank named the Type A tank. The combat weight of the tank is about 12 tons, equipped with a 37mm cannon and 2 7.5mm/7.92mm machine guns, the armor thickness is 12-40mm, and the maximum speed is 18 kilometers per hour. The maximum mileage is 100 kilometers.
As an ally of France and Germany, China's China Heavy Industry Group naturally bought prototypes and drawings of this type of A-type tank, and also components that can assemble 200 A-type tanks. China's tank manufacturing and armored forces have finally taken a critical step!
The National Defense Force Navy also ushered in a shipbuilding **. As a large number of engineers and technical workers who originally served the Japanese shipbuilding industry went into exile to China. They were employed by shipbuilding companies such as the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard and the British Jesson Shipyard, China's shipbuilding industry achieved rapid development almost overnight. From the original construction of 10,000-ton steam ships, it leaped to the level of being able to independently design and build the latest large surface ships. As for imitating British e-class submarines and r-class destroyers, it was no problem. By the end of February 1924, the Jiangnan Factory and Jesson Factory were on the platform.
The newly started submarines and destroyers were filled with stations. In addition, the 27,000-ton aircraft carrier commissioned by the United States to design and build has finally come to light. The Bethlehem Shipyard in the United States finally came up with a design drawing of the "Zhongshan" class aircraft carrier in early 1924. The first ship of this class aircraft carrier, the Zhongshan, will be built by the Jiangnan Shipyard in June 24, and the other two ships, the Zhantang and Yaoru, will be started by the Bethlehem Shipyard in August of the same year. The three aircraft carriers are expected to be completed before the end of 1928 and delivered to the Chinese Navy.
However, at the military meeting of the Tangshan Military Commission in Nanjing, Bai Chongxi, Wu Shi, Wang Junhao and Zhao Zhen, who were known as the four kings under Chang Ruiqing, were all frowning. Next to them were General Guo Songling, who had just become the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in South Korea, Zhang Guotao, the intelligence director, and Jin Zuozhen, the South Korean Minister of Defense, were sitting next to them.
Zhang Guotao quietly looked at Chang Ruiqing with a depressed face and sighed secretly in his heart. The Japanese were like a young strongman who could not be beaten. They had already become Soviet countries and refused to calm down. They even made great efforts to fight the banner of "Japan-South Korea, Anti-China and Protect the North" and were preparing to launch a large number of troops to defend their Korean compatriots after the opening ceremony of the Japanese Soviet Socialist Federation Republic...
But the Koreans didn't know how to solve the problem themselves, so they knew to ask China for help. However, they did not agree to unite with China and could not come up with any good things to thank them. It really made people unable to raise their spirits to rescue them. If it weren't for the fact that the Korean Peninsula was a very good battlefield that consumed the lives of Japan and North Korea, Chang Ruiqing would have been too lazy to pay attention to them.
"...Now, there are seven infantry divisions in the Army of the Republic of Korea. The infantry division of the Chinese Defense Forces are organized, with each division's strength ranging from 10,000 to 15,000. It is equipped with an artillery regiment with 36 cannons, and all weapons and equipment are all free of charge from China." When introducing the situation of the Korean army, Jin Zuozhen kept throwing gratitude to Chang Ruiqing, not knowing whether it was true or false. But Chang Ruiqing did not respond, and did not even look at him with his eyes. He just said calmly: "General Maochen, you are now the commander-in-chief of the Army in South Korea. Tell me what you think."
Guo Songling stood up with a little depressed expression. He thought he was the second military strategist in China (the first in Chang Ruiqing), and had just commanded the Northeast Front to defeat the Japanese army. Now it was the time to be full of confidence. If he followed his wishes, several National Defense Army infantry troops were dispatched in this battle, and retreated from north to south and drove the Japanese Red Army out of the sea!
However, his idea was rejected by Chang Ruiqing. Chang Ruiqing's meaning was very clear. Just take the defensive force on the Korean Peninsula, build a solid defense system near the 38th line, and put the South Korean army on the front line and slowly consume the Japanese. The principle of this war is to not expand and declare war. It will be consumed slowly on the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese, and it will still use the lives of the Korean people. So Guo Songling had to follow Chang Ruiqing's intention and said: "Subordinates believe that the terrain of the Korean Peninsula is narrow.
The mountains are everywhere, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At present, the front line between the two sides is less than 200 kilometers long in the east and west, and it is already the limit to deploy seven divisions. No matter how many troops there are, they cannot let go. Therefore, the subordinates recommend adopting the tactic of steady defense and counterattack, building a continuous defense system in the central part of the Korean Peninsula, and attaching seven divisions to the front line, deploying three divisions of reserves from Kaesong to Wonsan, and then deploying the 10th Army of the Defense Forces, aiding South Korea, in Pyongyang as the general reserve.
In order to achieve this plan, the South Korean Army needs to expand three infantry divisions, and the heavy artillery firepower of each infantry division needs to be strengthened. Each infantry division must be equipped with at least 12 105mm howitzers, and a ** artillery headquarters that can command all Korean artillery, and directly manage at least two heavy artillery regiments, each regiment should be equipped with at least 12 150mm howitzers. In addition, the South Korean army urgently needs a large number of building materials used to build fortifications, such as steel bars, cement, barbed wire mesh, etc., and landmines also need to be replenished in large quantities, at least 10 million!”
