658 Yasuda's Chain Gauge Part 1
"Ha ha……"
A hearty laughter was floating in the conference room of Tangshan official residence. Fatty Zhao Zhen, the new chief of staff who had just obtained the exact results of the Hawaiian naval battle (Wang Junhao was transferred to commander-in-chief of the Northern Front Army, and Wu Shi became commander-in-chief of the army) couldn't help laughing loudly, and his fat body was shaking with the laughter. The corner of the Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan's mouth also had a smile, but he was much more reserved.
Although the battleships and aircraft carriers of the US Pacific Fleet were not sunk, considering the performance of Japan's I-18 and Il-1, it is not easy to achieve this result. Even if it is replaced by China's J-2 and Attack 2, it may not be possible to achieve more results. Moreover, the Japanese also destroyed the oil depot and fuel reserves of Pearl Harbor, allowing the US Pacific Fleet's home port to temporarily move back to San Diego!
Judging from the results of this common war, the US Navy basically cannot come to the Western Pacific within one year or even one and a half years. Although the Japanese Navy lost an aircraft carrier and more than 300 carrier-based aircraft, it can maintain at least 80 aviation combat power, which should be enough to deal with the British Navy's Far East Fleet and the Australian Fleet. However, as long as the British Navy's strategic rivals are strategically opposed, they are not without the ability to fight. The Chinese Navy, which was originally ranked behind the United States, Britain and Japan, is now an important force in the battle for hegemony between the Western Pacific and the South China Sea. Considering China's rich resources and powerful land power, it is estimated that neither the UK nor Japan dares to offend it.
Moreover, this battle established the dominant position of naval aviation in future naval battles. In this battle, although none of the 17 battleships and battle cruisers in the United States were fighting, they did not have any chance to fire a shell at the enemy's fleet, and they were playing a role of being beaten from beginning to end. And being beaten is impossible to win a war!
Thinking of this, Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but look at Chang Ruiqing with admiration. Although this man had never worked in the navy, he had always regarded naval aviation and submarines as the main attack direction of the Chinese navy for many years. This forward-looking vision and ability to grasp the direction of future war still made him admire him!
However, Chang Ruiqing himself was somewhat regretful about the outcome of the Battle of Hawaii. Although the Japanese army had hit the US empire hard, it did not show an overwhelming advantage like in the Pearl Harbor incident in his previous life. With the huge force of 10 aircraft carriers and more than 700 fighter jets, it did not sink a US aircraft carrier and battleship/battlecruiser, but only sank a British aircraft carrier of more than 10,000 tons, and it also paid the price of more than 300 aircraft and one Canglong-class aircraft carrier.
If it weren't for the luck (in fact, it was the credit of the US GCD, and they reported the location of the underground oil depot at the Pearl Harbor base to GC International) that blow up the Pearl Harbor oil depot, this often fights against Japan would at most be a miserable victory. Considering the gap between them and the United States in national strength, there is basically no difference between miserable victory and failure.
"What are the plans of the General Staff and the Navy in the past year and a half?" Chang Ruiqing asked with a smile.
"Of course we must make good use of this year and a half," said Fatty Zhao, "First of all, we must concentrate our troops to defeat the Soviet Union. Even if we cannot join the Germans in the Urals... at least we must seize the Far Eastern Republic and the Baikal area and advance the northern front along the Yenisei River.
Secondly, we must accelerate the expansion in the Nanyang region, not only North Borneo and Eastern Kalimantan, but also more islands should be occupied. The Philippines and the Dutch East India have more than 20,000 islands. How many can the Japanese occupy? How many can Britain, the United States and the Netherlands defend? We should take advantage of the chaos to grab more territory, and neither of them dares to provoke us.
Again, of course, it is to accelerate the construction of the navy. I estimate that Japan can maintain its advantage for 18 months at most, and then Britain and the United States will turn into an offensive. At most, Japan may lose the war in two years. At that time, we need a powerful navy to occupy Japan's mainland and deter Britain and the United States. So we are now catching up on the cold navy and start to deploy defenses on the important islands of the South China Sea that we have seized.
Finally, I think in the future we should avoid the situation of fighting alone. We should make allies, and if necessary, we can also make some friendly countries more complicated. Now we have complicated the two friends of the Caliph Hussein and the Indian Muslim Alliance, obviously there are too few. Perhaps we can also consider giving support to the Indian National Army to help them defeat the Soviet Union and expel Britain to achieve national independence. In addition, in the Dutch East Indies, can we also consider supporting some friends?”
"Haha, Youlin, you have a lot of ideas!" Chang Ruiqing smiled and looked at Chen Shaokuan again. The commander-in-chief of the navy had already tightly frowned. He thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Justice believes that we should support Japan in delaying the war as much as possible. If we want to complete the points proposed by Chief of Staff Zhao, the 18-month time is really short."
"Support Japan?" Zhao Zhen sneered at the word: "We are already supporting it, but our national strength is limited and it is not enough to help Japan resist the United States for a long time."
Chen Shaokuan shook his head and looked at Chang Ruiqing and said, "The Ministry of Justice thought that the time when the United States defeated Japan may depend on the time when Japan destroyed the British Empire's colonial system in the Far East... We are using Japan to weaken the United States, and why is the United States using Japan to weaken Britain? So as long as the British Empire's power in the South China Sea is not defeated, the United States will not destroy Japan with all its strength. Prime Minister, should we remind Takeda Hiroshi?"
Chang Ruiqing was slightly stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, He Zhonghan pushed the door and walked in and handed a telegram to Chang Ruiqing.
"This is..." Chang Ruiqing opened the telegram and showed a happy expression on his face: "Okay, Xinrui did a good job. Not only did she take down Brunei, but she also killed more than 2,000 Borneo revolutionaries." He turned his head to look at Chen Shaokuan: "Houfu, where is the South China Fleet now? When can we arrive near North Borneo?"
...
Tokyo, Asakusa-cho.
Yasuo Yasuda's residence in Tokyo is located in this luxury residential area. It is a traditional Japanese residence. It originally belonged to the Kompei family. The "Five Photographers" and "Eight Tsinghua" including the Kompei family were basically destroyed in the 1924 revolution. The original owners here were also suppressed, and the house was naturally empty. Later, the Japanese GCD and senior cadres of the Japanese Red Army moved in one after another. Of course, they were not the real owners here. Instead, the tenants, and the ownership of the house belongs to the Japanese people.
Today, the news of the Red Navy's victory in Hawaii was officially announced in Japan, which was naturally a scene of joy for the whole country. The streets of Tokyo were full of people participating in the Jockey Parade, and a grand celebration reception was also held in the palace of Akasaka. Almost all senior Japanese party, government and military officials and friendly ambassadors to Tokyo were present. However, Yasuo Yasuda, who had just taken office as secretary of the GC International South Ocean Bureau, unexpectedly took a leave of absence. Now he is in the house he rents, entertaining a distinguished guest.
In a secluded room, a small table was filled with a few simple Japanese dishes, a large bowl of Korean soy sauce soup, and a few dishes of Korean kimchi. It was not very coordinated no matter how you look at it.
The person sitting opposite Yasuo Yasuda was the Japanese GCD Chairman, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission, and the Deputy Commander of the International Proletariat, who should preside over the Joker Party in Akasaka Ligumiya.
The two of them drank silently, drinking Korean soju, all of which were all drunk. Takeda Yukishi looked serious, and Yasuo Yasuda's eyes were still filled with tears.
"Yamata, I really don't want to hand over the three thousand miles of country to the Chinese! I can't be happy when I think that I will start delivering South Korea in more than ten days!"
Yasuo Yasuda quickly bowed his head and bowed. He signed the peace agreement for ceding South Korea, and he could not escape the hat of a Japanese traitor. However, after becoming a Japanese traitor, Takeda's trust in him went further and obviously regarded him as his number one confidant.
"Chairman, I am forgiving that losing South Korea is not the most heartbreaking thing. Because... our foundation is no longer there." Yasuda looked up at Takeda, and saw the other party's expression calm, then continued: "What a pity is the 8 million Korean people, what a good people! They work hard and are loyal to the Chairman. They are not like the Japanese..."
Takeda laughed: "If you have anything, just say it! What else can you say between you and me? Are you still worried that I will cure you for one sentence?"
Yasuda also smiled and said, "Then let me just say it straight. The subordinates believe that we can give up South Korea. But we should not give up the 8 million people of South Korea. They should be moved to Japan to resettle..."
"What?!" Takeda Yuki was stunned for a moment, "Yamata, are you kidding? 8 million people... How do you want me to resettle? There is only a little territory in Japan, and there is still excess land there?"
"Chairman, we can move some of the Japanese to the South China Sea!" Yasuo Yasuda curled his lips and showed a shrewd smile: "After the Battle of Hawaii, we had at least two years of initiative in the Western Pacific. The Philippines and the Dutch East India are already in their pockets. However, to truly control these rich territories, we still have to rely on the Japanese! Especially the Japanese samurai class, who has always been known for its bravery. Chairman, do you think so?"
"Are they willing to go? The Japanese have always had the tradition of keeping their hometowns and inheriting their family business. Even if the second son and third son go to Nanyang, we cannot take back the land that should be inherited by the eldest son, right? If we use strong, we will be afraid... "
What Takeda Hiroshi was the most annoying Japanese counter-revolutionary samurai. If it weren't for them, Japan would have let him run a red Takeda Shin-minded University of Thought. However, he was so annoying that he would not dare to attack these people. Especially after he inherited the name of Takeda Yonezawa as the master and became a glorious member of the counter-revolutionary samurai class, he spent a lot of time studying Japanese samurai culture, which truly understood the reactionary, stubbornness, and of course cruelty of the Japanese samurai class! Although the truth of GCism is already very powerful, it is better to be less furious to such cruel opponents who do not take their lives seriously, otherwise all the comrades in the party would no longer support him.
"Then let's take advantage of it. You can exchange ten or even twenty acres of land in Nanyang for one acre of land. 9 You can take out official positions in the Nanyang region to attract domestic immigrants. Although the Japanese are not as reliable as the Koreans, they are always more reliable than the indigenous people of the South China Sea... If we want to occupy the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies for a long time, we must send at least 10 million immigrants there! In addition, we should also increase publicity and say that immigration to Nanyang is a great cause of opening up territory for Japan."
"Can 10 million immigrants be placed there? How much land is needed to resettle? How much does it cost? Have you calculated all these?"
Now there is about 55 million people in Japan. If 10 million Japanese can be moved out and 8 million Koreans are brought in, Takeda Hiroshi is of course happy. But can the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies carry so many people? And such a huge immigration project requires huge amounts of money. The finances of the Japanese government are quite unoptimistic now.
"Chairman, land is not a problem, and money is not a problem... These subordinates have ways to solve it. The Dutch East India alone has a territory of nearly 2 million square kilometers, and the Philippines also has nearly 300,000 square kilometers. There is no problem with resettling 10 million Japanese immigrants. If possible, I would like to migrate another 10 million people from Japan. As for the funds for immigration, it is even more not a problem. As long as we can seize the wealth and land of Southeast Asia, we can use this as a guarantee to issue more paper money. Money is just a number!"
Takeda Yuki was slightly frowned at Yasuda's evil: "Yamada, what you mean, are you going to plunder the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies? Don't forget that we are gcd!"
"What's wrong with GCD?" Yasuo Yasuo looked at Takeda and asked, "The Soviet GCD plundered in China is better than the government of any capitalist country, and the same is true for Polish GCD. Even our current land tax rate is 30 higher than that of the Emperor's reign."
"That's internal! The search for the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies is external and imperialism! These two are different!" Takeda Yuki glanced at Yasuda and felt helpless. His confidant probably was not good at learning and everything was good, but he just didn't know how to read the works "Marx-Trotskyism".
Yasuda waved his hand and smiled, "That's easy to do. We just treat the Filipino people and the Dutch East Indian people as our own people to search?"
After hearing Yasuda's words, Takeda Masayuzu couldn't laugh. However, he did not argue with him anymore. It is an unknown when the Japanese red flag can be fought. The losses of the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Hawaii were beyond imagination. The performance of the I-18 fighter and the Il-1 bomber continued to be unsatisfactory as imagined. In this situation, it is rare that Yasuo Yasuda is still working hard to give advice to the party and the country. How could Takeda have the nerve to attack the other party's enthusiasm?
"Chairman, the situation of our party is now critical and can no longer be saved by conventional means. It is inevitable to take a few dangerous moves." Seeing Takeda not speaking, Yasuo Yasuo knew that the other party was already a little moved. So he continued to tell: "The core of all the work of our party now is to maintain the regime. No matter what kind of ideology, as long as it can be beneficial to maintain our regime, it is goodism! In order to maintain the regime, we did things like going to war with the United States, exploitation
What's wrong with the people of the Philippines and the Dutch East India? Anyway, they are still exploited in the hands of imperialism! Similarly, the large number of counter-revolutionary samurai class in the local area has always been one of the biggest threats to our party's regime. Now I'm just going to get a little bit of excuse to conquer the South China Sea... My subordinates have studied it. Japanese samurai has always been the most rebellious and difficult to control. Why not start a large-scale conscript on these three places to explore the people."
Takeda nodded slightly, as if he had agreed to Yasuda's suggestion. Yasuda continued: "In addition, it is the issue of moving South Korean citizens to Japan. For this reason, the progress of delivery of South Korea may be delayed."
"Delayed delivery? Will the Chinese agree?" Takeda Yuki shook his head and said he had no belief. But Yasuda laughed: "Chang Ruiqing agreed because he did not want to hand over South Korea to North Korea... He was very annoyed by the fact that North Korea has always refused to join the Greater China Federation."
"Okay, I'll let people from the diplomatic department try their luck. If possible, delay the delivery date by 6 months... By the way, if Chang Ruiqing is still worried, I'll let Alan take his children to Shanghai for a few months."
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, and then the voice of Takeda Hiroshi Muto Hoe (Mutou Nobuyoshi adopted son) came from outside the paper door.
"Chairman! Chairman! Something big happened..."
Takeda Yuki was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Yiwei, right? Come in and talk."
As soon as the door opened, a short officer with a noise came in and bowed to Takeda Hiroshi: "The Chairman just reported that their Borneo GCD had successfully launched an armed uprising this morning, and now he has controlled Brunei, and... he also established a North Borneo Soviet Socialist Republic, announcing that he would implement a socialist system in North Borneo and confiscate all private capital and land."
Takeda Yuki sighed and said, "I think why is this a good thing?... Let the 2nd Fleet go there quickly. Once the oil field in Brunei is obtained, our capital to maintain the war is much greater."
But Muto Hiroe shook his head heavily and interrupted loudly: "Chairman, it's not over yet! When the Chinese government heard that the North Borneo Soviet government was going to confiscate the property of their expatriates, it immediately announced that it would send troops to protect the overseas Chinese! Our submarines found that their main force of the Nanyang Fleet had been dispatched now and was heading towards Brunei! Chief of Staff of Maki asked you to go back to Akasaka Ligong as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation."
