Chapter 878 Go to the mountain to starve to death?
In fact, Takeda Yuki had already issued an order to choose the mountainous areas of the Japanese archipelago to establish a revolutionary base in the anti-China revolution and prepare for a long-term guerrilla war. However, Yasuo Yasuda, who stayed in Japan to take charge of the overall situation, has not been very interested in this. Until now, half of Japan is almost falling, and this question has not been put on the agenda. Now when he heard the question from Soichi Desouchuchi, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Tianuchi, I know you are very anxious, and I am also anxious, but do you know? Although the Japanese archipelago is mountainous, most of them are low hills, and the terrain is narrow and lacks depth, so it is difficult to resist the encirclement of the Chinese army. That is, the terrain of the Ouyu Mountains is barely enough, but... "
Seeing Yasuo Yasuda looking like he was reluctant to speak, Teruchi Takeuchi took two steps forward and looked at him and said, "But what? Please order the establishment of a secret base in the Ouyu Mountains now!"
Yasuda smiled bitterly: "What's the best way to build? Then you can just take the remaining troops into the mountains, but hundreds of thousands of troops stay in the mountains without food or drink. I really don't know how long it will last?"
Teraunuchi's face turned dark. At the military meeting a few days ago, Shinsaburo, who was in charge of logistics, reported that since Japan's local industrial production has almost completely stagnated in the past few months, the Japanese Red Army's weapons and ammunition are almost gone. In addition, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers were either incorporated into the Red Army or the Red Guards, resulting in a large amount of farmland in Japan being abandoned. This year's spring sowing scale is about 50% of last year's. As for the harvest, it is really difficult to calculate, because no one knows how much Japanese land is under the control of the Red Army by the fall harvest. Moreover, the grain inventory controlled by the Japanese local defense army is almost bottoming out. At most, it can barely be maintained until the autumn harvest. If the three traditional Japanese main grain production areas of the Kanto Plain, Echigo Plain, and Ono Plain are all lost before the autumn harvest, then there is no need for the Chinese invading army to eliminate it. The remnants of the Japanese Red Army will also find it difficult to survive the winter of 1936!
Teraunuchi shook his head constantly: "What should we do? What should we do? No food, no weapons, no ammunition, what should we do? Do we really have to surrender to the Chinese?"
Yasuo Yasuda smiled bitterly: "There is no way, what else can I do? Just delay some time... It's hard for the Soviet Union to survive this winter, and our little Japanese can still go against the will of heaven? I think it's enough to beat the red flag until this time next year to be the case."
"Next summer?" Teruchi's eyes flashed: "Yamada-kun, what are you going to do? Can the Kanto Plain be kept until that time?"
Yasuda looked at the temple and snorted softly: "Can the Kanto Plain be kept until that time? You don't know more than me? But if you can't defend the Kanto Plain, you can still get enough food for hundreds of thousands of people to eat tomorrow autumn. But... what's the point?"
"Of course it makes sense!" Teruchi Nakachi seemed to see some life-saving straw, and a light flashed in his eyes: "As long as we can persist in the Ouyu Mountains, it is very likely to become another Shimazu family. As long as we can keep the fire, even if we wait for three hundred years, we will definitely have a chance to take revenge!"
The Shimazu family refers to the historical family of the Satsuma family in southern Kyushu, Japan. This family is still here. In 1924, they ran away to China. They are now a member of the Yamen clan chaebol. They own Shimazu Keiye, the largest glass manufacturer in China.
The words of Soichi Tsinauchi refer to the performance of the Shimazu family after the Battle of Sekigahara. The Battle of Sekigahara was the largest group fight in Japan during the Warring States Period. The bosses on both sides were Ishida Mitsunari, the important minister of the Toyotomi family (actually the boss, but few people actually listened to him) and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Both sides gathered a group of reactionary warlords and fought a decisive group fight in Sekigahara near the Ono Plain of Japan. At that time, the Shimazu family stood on the side of Ishida Mitsunari who later defeated. However, unlike other reactionary warlords who stood on Ishida Mitsunari's side, the Shimazu family, who had been fighting against the Tokugawa shogunate for a year and a half, were not severe in the end. However, unlike the subsequent outcome of other reactionary warlords standing on Ishida Mitsunari's side, they continued to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate for a year and a half, but they did not suffer any serious consequences in the end.
The punishment of the territories did not decrease, and the main members of the heads did not commit suicide without slashing their stomachs to apologize. Moreover, Tokugawa Ieyasu's order to attack the Shimazu family was distracted. As a result, in the Makuma period more than 200 years later, the Satsuma family's Satsuma family turned into the strongest main force in the inverse force. Shimazu retainer Takamori Saigo also commanded the army to capture Edo Castle, the base of the Tokugawa family, which was avenged a revenge in the Battle of Sekihara. Now Soichi Teiyu hopes that the Japanese Red Army can persist like the Shimazu family in history to achieve a result of superficial obedience but actual independence. Even if it only separates part of the Japanese territory, there will be a day of revenge in the future.
But Yasuo Yasuda also knew that Soichi Desunouchi was lying to himself. Chang Ruiqing was not Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu did not have a nuclear fission bomb, and Chang Ruiqing had it! If you want to survive in Ouyu's mountains and get out of the Shimazu family, you have no hope at all.
However, Yasuda still focused on the key points and said to Teraunuchi: "Evacuate the elderly, weak, women and children from six prefectures, including Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, Fukushima, etc., to the Kanto Plain. This way, the food in the Northeast region will be enough for 1 million Red Army to eat for a long time."
Teruchi was stunned for a moment: "Yamada, what do you mean... to throw all the people to the Chinese to ravage?"
Yasuda actually nodded seriously and said, "It's just a little ravage. Most of them can survive. It's better than starving to death in the mountains, right?"
Shiuchi Nakano hesitated and nodded slightly. What feudal etiquette is not in the minds of the Japanese. Now the mind of the temple is only thinking about the survival of the Japanese nation. To survive, you must first save your life. If everyone dies, what hope will you have? He was silent and sighed and said, "Okay, at the military meeting later, we will propose suggestions to evacuate the population of the six northeastern counties and establish a base in the Ouyu Mountains."
...
Shanghai, Wusongkou Military Port.
The misty drizzle was falling down, and in the drizzle, the cheerful music was played. GCD, the Kuomintang, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, the Zuominist Youth League, the Zuomin Shrine and other party organizations were waving flags in the distance, making cheerful shouts.
On the edge of the dock, the gangway of the Guangdong battlecruiser had been lowered. Chang Ruiqing, who had returned from his visit to Japan, had already got off the ship at this time and was talking to Chen Duxiu and Zhou Elai on the dock.
"Zhongfu, Xiangyu, what's wrong with the visit to the United States? The invitation from the US government has been sent. When can you and President Mao, Minister Zeng set out?"
"When President Mao inspects the rural areas of Hunan, he will set out, and the latest is mid-July." Zhou E said with a smile.
"Has the President gone to Hunan?" Chang Ruiqing was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is no way out. The small peasant economy is ultimately feudal production relations, and it is impossible to withstand the impact of large-scale capitalist production." He looked at Chen Duxiu and said, "Mr. Zhongfu, do you think so?"
Chen Duxiu nodded silently and smiled bitterly: "The Fisheries and Farmers Association, the Ministry of Agriculture has tried every means to help farmers over the years, but the suffering of farmers is still below the nine lands. Compared with them, the life of industrial workers in the city can be considered to be above nine days."
"There are many farmers!" Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and walked towards the VIP passage at the wharf. Zhou elai and Chen Duxiu hurriedly followed outside. Zhou elai said: "The gap between workers and peasants is a problem. Many comrades in the party have also realized it during this period and have put forward many suggestions. Some people believe that it can increase investment in rural construction and realize rural urbanization."
"How to urbanize rural areas?" Chang Ruiqing asked with a smile. He had heard of the word "rural urbanization" in his previous life, but he studied history and did not know very well about contemporary things. He just vaguely knew that rural urbanization was related to the development of small and medium-sized towns.
"No matter how you do it, you don't have a fixed number, but you always feel that you should follow the path of coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns, improve the comprehensive carrying capacity of urban areas, develop step by step, plan reasonably, and arrange urbanization actively and steadily. You cannot blindly promote land concentration and promote farmers to enter cities, especially you cannot blindly develop megacities and ignore small and medium-sized cities and small towns." Zhou Elai said while walking.
Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "We cannot decide whether blind development is blind. It depends on the wishes of the people and the choice of the market. Are the people willing to live in small and medium-sized cities and small towns? Or are they willing to gather in the eight metropolis? I think they are willing to live in big cities, so what I mean is to follow the public's opinion and build a huge metropolis so as not to create a lot of small and medium-sized towns without people."
He paused and said, "Of course, I am not saying that I will not develop small and medium-sized cities and towns. For example, some cities or towns that have industrial support and rely on industrial development should develop. The federal government will still provide financial and tax support. However, there are only these eight metropolitan cities supported by the federal government, and there will never be a ninth one. Zhongfu, Xiangyu, I will bet with you that at most 20 years, more than half of the federal population will be concentrated in urban urban agglomerations with Shanghai, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Guangdong, Wuhan, Beijing, Tianjin and Kanto as the core. There will even be three major urban agglomerations in Shanghai-Nanjing, Guangdong-Hong Kong, and Beijing-Tianjin." (To be continued...)
