Chapter 347 Showa Restoration (16)

"Marson, I want the country, take care of you"

Ozawa Shisaburo, who received the transfer order, did not rush to visit Richterhofen, who was hospitalized due to illness. In theory, Richterhofen was the commander of the German Navy aviation and the commander of the mobile fleet. However, since Richterhofen was diagnosed with brain cancer, he has actually left the front line. Although Hoffman did not arrange for him to be in the reserve service, Richterhofen has basically been focusing on recuperation this year.

For Ozawa, he was able to take charge of the German fleet at the beginning because of Richterhoven's strong support, so he had to come and visit him once before leaving for public or private.

"I have heard some news, it's all gossip. Don't take it to your heart. The head of state attaches great importance to you. This time, Marshal Hori is also anxious to use people." Richterhofen's own physical condition was also very unsatisfactory, but he still tried his best to pretend to be nothing. "Japan-Germany friendship, the contributions you have made to the German Navy will not be easily erased like this."

The so-called rumors are of course some rumors about whether Ozawa deliberately caused both Germany and the United States to lose both sides. Although Mashar, Crank, and others who went on the war with Ozawa at that time were angrily denounced this technique, and Hoffman also thought it was purely nonsense, this voice was revealed in some unintentional times. As the party involved, Ozawa could not defend anything in person, and the Germans did not treat him badly: the rank of general, second only to the highest level of the Knight Iron Cross, was awarded to him, and a grand farewell ceremony was also held, hosted by Marshal Keitel, the Supreme Command. All senior officers with the rank of general or above Berlin, and the cabinet ministers came to see him off.

This scale and scene were even the same when Hori Teki led the country. Besides, other Japanese officers and advisory teams, including Aoki Taijiro, did not leave and were still performing their duties. Captains like Aoki, who had sunk four aircraft carriers, had long been ordered to retire several times in Japan. They were still well in Germany. The newest Yunlong class who went into the sea was still left to him to continue to command, so they couldn't say anything to complain about.

However, it is false to say that Ozawa himself has no knot in his heart: in Germany, he only needs to fight with wars with peace of mind, but the queen of the country will be involved in politics, and he is not unaware of the situation that Japan is currently facing. Hori Teiki is planning earth-shaking events. But can he complain about this? Of course not! The latter at least arranged the rank of general for him. The title of acting chief of the Joint Fleet can be removed as long as he leads the fleet south to win, but now there is no American fleet in the Pacific. Not to mention that he led Ozawa, any major general can win with his eyes closed. This is simply a credit to Ozawa. If he doesn't appreciate it, he seems a little ungrateful.

On June 24, Ozawa said goodbye to Hoffman with a complicated expression, bid farewell to Richterhoven, bid farewell to the German Navy who had served for several years, and came to Japan. The main force of the joint fleet, which had been resting next week, will set out to attack south again, with the goal of taking the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and further putting pressure on the United States. The first stop to fight is Guadalam! Unlike the situation when he was retreating from Guadalam at that time, there was only a little weak navy from Australia and New Zealand near the Iron Desert Bay, mainly destroyers and light cruisers, and there was not even a heavy cruiser. Japan's battleships dispatched 4, and other heavy cruisers were also dispatched in full swing. In addition, the supporting fleet aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers are enough to clean up the First Land Warfare Division stationed on Guadalam.

Before heading south to the fleet, Japan received a response from the United States on the conditions of peace through a third party: Although the Americans did not explicitly refuse, they said that the conditions were too high and could not accept them, and asked to discuss again. Reconsideration means delaying time. The base camp did not have the patience to wait any longer, and Horitiki was not sure to convince others. In addition, he was still thinking about selling it to the Germans on the front line of the Solomon Islands, so he finally issued an offensive order without hesitation.

Recently, it has not been very peaceful. Several reform bills circulated by Hori Teiki have aroused strong responses, especially the Regulations on the Military Merit Award for Field have received unanimous support from top to bottom. The army is still discussing in an orderly manner, and the navy has begun to take action.

The first wave of land divisions was the officers and soldiers who died in previous naval battles. They were generally assigned to 350 hectares of land based on their positions, military ranks and achievements. However, no hectares of land were in Japan, all in the South Ocean and India occupied by Japan, Ceylon, followed by Malaya and Borneo, then Sumatra, and finally the Philippines, which were all naval-controlled territory. According to the military merit system, these fields enjoy 10 years of exemption but cannot be bought or sold. They are taxed normally after 10 years. If they want to buy and sell, they must be approved by the Navy.

The families who receive land grants must move to the land grant area as a whole. If there are no survivors or the survivors are no longer suitable for immigration, they will be replaced by pensions. However, this situation is a minority and can be handled individually. As for why family migration must be arranged, Hori Teiki also considered it. If the migration is not carried out directly in Japan, the land will be sold or leased soon, which will change the meaning of military merits and recreate a landlord class. This is quite unfavorable. Forced migration can not only reduce the pressure on the local population but also solve the problem of control over the local area, which can be regarded as a behavior of killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, there are also reasons why everyone knows it but no one says it: the reason why Hori Teki is eager to divide the land is to stabilize the morale of the army, consolidate the foundation, and win more support, and create an atmosphere for reform. Although he can command naval officers, the main body of the navy will always be ordinary soldiers. They can work hard for Hori Teki during the war, and can work hard for Hori Teki when "the sky kills the traitors", but it is unrealistic to continue working hard for Hori Teki during the "Showa Reform".

So Horitiki complained that he did not have Bolshevik Bolshevikism was the same trick? As for whether the land division would cause a rebound from the chaebols and local people, he no longer cared about it.

The positioning of these occupied areas has not been finally confirmed. Hori Teiki hopes to support the independence of these countries, and the granted fields are rewards for Japan to "help" them independence. This is more emotionally gentle. The immigrant Japanese citizens can retain dual nationality. The other people in the base camp still want to occupy part of the territory as a colony. The two sides are stalemate on this point. However, several opinions have barely reached an agreement: to curb Singapore in the Strait of Malacca and Ceylon in the Indian Ocean are all directly under Japan's territory. Myanmar and the Philippines are independent countries. How to arrange other territory can only continue to quarrel.

The second wave of field division list is still being formulated in full swing, with the goal of officers and soldiers who were injured during the war and could no longer serve. It is expected that it will be announced in July. The third batch is some retired officers and soldiers, and the last batch is active officers and soldiers. As for officers with the rank of major general or above, the distribution matters are placed at the end. All naval officers and soldiers expressed their consent for this order, and the generals did not complain much. The commander will definitely not treat him badly. However, whether to move overseas is a big or small trouble.

The navy first put a lot of pressure on the army. All military towns sent telegrams to ask what to do with the center, but the situation of the army is much more complicated than that of the navy and involves all aspects of relationships. On the one hand, domestic disarmament needs to be properly placed, and on the other hand, the heads of the army are aggressive, making Ishihara Kanir and Tada Jung who were in charge of the work frustrated. In the end, Ishihara had to let the Indian army, which had no war recently, piloted the plan.

Of course, people will definitely be dissatisfied with these things. Hirohito couldn't hear the opinions of the locals, but he listened to the opinions of the chaebols. The land and interests were originally sold to the chaebols at a low price in exchange for the government bonds and other support they purchased. Now, when Hori Teiki did this, the chaebols' wishes were emptied.

He was so nervous that he didn't dare to go against Hori Teiki, but all kinds of rumors drifted into the Second Bridge
