Chapter 344 Showa Restoration (13)
King Minorhiko Higashikuramiya did not attend the cocktail party discussed by the four giants of the Army and Navy, but he could not have been told that the order to disarmament of five divisions again was impossible. He heard that Ishihara Kanir used these five divisions to exchange for the navy's follow-up support for rocket technology development. Although he was relieved, he was still in a heavy mood.
Only when he met with Ishihara Kanir alone could he say something in his heart: "Ishihara, will there be any problem with the abolition of the division?"
"What is your highness's concern?"
"Although the General Army is not strong, it is controlled by the center after all. If all the troops of the vassal state are abolished and replaced by soldiers from the vassal states, what if the disaster arose?"
"The issue that Your Highness is also my initial concern. I made this point clear to Horikun two days ago, but his answer is very interesting and intriguing."
King Minami Tokurimiya raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he say?"
"Isn't it a thing that the central government likes to reduce the troops of the vassal states?"
"But these troops have reached the center again!"
"He said, where did the troops of the vassal state come from? Wasn't it sent out by the central government? Can we still recruit soldiers on the spot? The soldiers are in the central government, and the soldiers are used by the vassal state. The central government has great power, personnel and power, and military strength to supplement its advantages. Are you still afraid that the vassal state will cause trouble? If you don't even have this confidence, you might as well abdicate and give way to the vassal state."
"It's interesting, it's interesting." King Minor Higakuramiya knocked on the table with his fingers and thought quickly. Horitiki's meaning was obvious in and out of the words: the layoff of the general army and replaced it with the forces of the four major military towns, and the strength of each military town is also declining. As soon as these troops arrived at the local area, they were restricted by all aspects. It is difficult to unite and compete with the central center. Although it is impossible to immediately turn to the central center as soon as they arrived at the local area, at least there are not small opportunities. The opportunity has been created, it depends on how to grasp it.
"Can't you tell the truth about the vassal state?"
"Your Highness, you restrict each other, no one will jump out to make a head-on bird. What Horikun talked to them makes sense. The various vassal states are not monotonous. This retreat method must be to push the thorn-headed divisions and weak divisions outwards, objectively unifying and purifying. If I were to do the same, we would have done the same. After the vassal states' troops arrived at the local level, we would just reorganize them, save the advantages and disadvantages, remove the rough and the essence. Here are ready-made examples from Germany that can be learned."
When talking about German experience, King Minorhiko Higashinomiya nodded and said that the European delegation had a report, which clearly explained how Germany disarmament was not simply dismissed all the officers and soldiers in a unit, but set a standard to dismiss most of the worst troops, eliminate the other troops, and then add the essence of the dismissal to other troops. The retirement period of German veterans has been divided from 35 to 33 to 29 years old, and Japan can also refer to it.
In addition, disarmament only involves reducing troops and heavy equipment is not taken away. Therefore, although the number of people has decreased, the combat effectiveness has been improved. In fact, based on the inspection report and previous war summary, Ishihara Kanr believed that the current division system was too large, especially the A-level division with more than 20,000 troops at the full stage was too large and the technical weapons were insufficient. He intended to seek to abolish the first-level brigade system to form a new division, which could also be adjusted by the moment of disarmament.
"Hoki Kwan said that if the center can't control the situation like this, then you can't blame yourself for being incompetent."
"This is to let us restrain each other," Horikiko Tokuramiya Minori was so angry that she was itchy. "Hirun's methods became more and more clever. He was a naval privy envoy, not only put his hands into the army, but also caused trouble. What should we do if we continue for a long time?"
"Hoe Kung wants to reform, so he naturally hopes to get rid of all constraints. If not, then use other forces to restrain it. Otherwise, how could he easily agree to go north? To show his sincerity, he promised to send some of the tanks and artillery seized in the Battle of Hawaii to the Kanto Army. After all, he can arm at least two mecha divisions, and the Southern Army will give priority to replenishing the damage."
"What do other military towns think about this?"
"The Indian army doesn't care about the Southern Army. They have made enough contributions. It's not easy to stop the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army anymore. Only the Chinese army has some opinions." Ishihara Kaner added, "On the one hand, they asked them to organize the Ningyu merger, and on the other hand, they were preparing to advance north. This logic is unreasonable. It's better to let the Kwantung Army go south."
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Once the Kwantung Army goes south, Manchuria will be empty. Once the Russian attack is irresistible, it will be difficult to resist. However, the Kwantung Army will not face this difficulty when it goes north."
"I also told Okamura about the idea, and then he asked me for a lot of benefits before giving up."
"He should be asked to go to the Navy for good!"
"The benefits of the Navy have been in place. The Navy is preparing to eliminate a batch of old coastal defense boats and hand them over to China** for sale. The two companies sold the money in half."
“To whom?”
"Who else can there be, the Chongqing authorities." Ishihara Kanir explained, "At present, ** accounts for 9 northern provinces, with great power, and the soldiers are expected to be no less than 1.5 million. After the Chongqing authorities took Wuhan, the two sides basically confronted each other across the river, sometimes infiltrating each other and sometimes fighting. Overall, the front line is basically stable and in line with expectations. In order to prevent accidents, the Chongqing authorities urgently need small-tonnage river defense ships. This batch of eliminated old ships is just a place to be used. Many are still burning coal or oil-coal mixed boilers, and there is no problem with the use. As for the personnel, Chongqing originally had a group of navies, and no ships were available, but now it is just right!"
"**Don't you?"
"It's also necessary, but it's probably only 10%. Okamura promised that they would choose first, and the price would be a little more expensive. The other party agreed. In the end, if it can't be sold, then let the Shanghai dismantling weapons be sold as ordinary civilian boats, and there will always be people who are interested."
"The Chinese dispatched troops are really good at doing business," said Tokuramiya Minorhiko, sighing, and suddenly remembering something, "By the way, what is the situation in Xinjiang at present?"
"It's confusing and can't see clearly for the time being. All forces have penetrated. Sheng Shicai bought us a batch of weapons and has completed the delivery. I expect it to be a brief tranquility, sooner or later there will be a storm."
After Stalin sent troops to Xinjiang to collect grain, Sheng Shicai was extremely dissatisfied and changed from pro-Soviet to surrendering to the Chongqing authorities. The Kuomintang was overjoyed. On the one hand, it did not blame Sheng Shicai and provided military assistance. On the other hand, it asked Sheng Shicai to cut off the transportation line between Eastern Russia and Yan'an.
In order to strengthen his own strength, Sheng Shicai formed an alliance with Gansu Sanma and jointly controlled the Hexi Corridor. On the one hand, he expelled pro-Soviet elements and launched a horse movement among ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. Stalin was extremely dissatisfied with this. On the other hand, he removed Sheng Shicai from his position as a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and on the other hand, he instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take revenge.
Originally, Stalin wanted to directly launch troops to attack, but because the eight Central Asian countries had been independent and the German team had entered, in order to avoid large-scale incidents, he could only use other methods. The Ministry of Internal Affairs Beria quickly organized a large number of personnel to rush to command in person. With the Eastern Russian Consulate in Ili as the core, he established an organization with local ethnic and religious forces. In December 1944, he organized an riot in Ili, Tacheng, and Ashan (now Altay) and established an independent regime. The reason for the external reason was that the three districts could not bear the oppression and stood up for the revolution. In fact, it was the advance team, organization, funding, and instructors who infiltrated Xinjiang by the Eastern Russian forces, and they were only short of providing military assistance directly.
After independence, the three zones were completely under Omsk's remote control command. Although Sheng Shicai was willing to wipe out, he was not strong enough and was worried about attracting the three horses. The situation had to remain stalemate. The three zones formed actual separatist, and both of them could not do anything to each other.
"In addition, Russia is still infiltrating Afghanistan. Although the German side knows it, it opens its eyes and closes its eyes. Its attitude is intriguing. My analysis is that Germany may attract Eastern Russia to deter Pakistan."
"Okay, we also pretend not to know. By then, going north will involve some of the Russian energy." After Ishihara Kanirami, King Minorhiko Higashihara finally felt relieved. "I have reported the Indochina delivery case with His Majesty. He himself did not agree and let us decide for ourselves. Since the army and the navy have a consistent view, we should prepare to negotiate the delivery, and it is better to use the rocket as soon as possible."
