Rebirth of the National Marshal

"These cowards in the navy are simply committing crimes against the imperial soldiers. Are the people in the security corps all gods? What did they do? These guys in the navy ran away without doing anything. They ran faster than rabbits." At the Central China Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Princess Asaka Naruhiko cursed these navy men vigorously. In fact, she cared more about her own face. This time the navy went to the Yangtze River area to fight for the army, which was just a way to save her face. She didn't expect that the security corps only sent a regiment of troops and scared away the imperial navy. Is this still the number one navy in Asia?

The navy also has its own difficulties. If the war has not broken out, the Japanese navy's naval funding is still good. But when the war broke out, they simply did not have enough funds for ordinary naval warships. Therefore, any warship is very important to the navy. If it is lost, it will be troublesome to replenish it. Now the empire's policy is leaning towards the army. After all, the army is fighting in the Chinese region.

This also made the high-ranking officers of the navy think that since your policy is leaning towards the army, then the army's affairs have nothing to do with us. If we lose our Achilles tendon because of the army's affairs, will you give us a supplement? The answer is definitely not to give us a supplement. If this is the case, there is no need for us to fight for the army. His Royal Highness's face is important, but the fundamental strength of our navy is more important.

In fact, the navies and armies of various countries in the world are basically not very harmonious because of the competition for resources, but when a war breaks out, they can basically unite against the outside world. However, the Japanese are completely different. The Japanese navy and army have never been harmonious from the beginning to the end of World War II, and the attacks from both sides even exceeded the war itself.

No one in the headquarters dared to speak. General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force, was also holding his breath. These navy guys were really too much. How could they not know that this was a critical moment? Is it so important to preserve strength? Although the army and the navy have been at odds for a long time, this is also a critical moment. We should put aside our past grudges and jointly defend the Luodian area. As long as we can defend this area, we can make one of the Chinese army's defense lines invalid. In time, our army will definitely be able to pass this line of defense.

Unlike Prince Asaka Naruhiko, General Matsui Iwane was considering the entire front. Now the Central China Expeditionary Army had fallen into a stalemate. According to the policy of the Japanese military headquarters, the war in China must be resolved quickly and must not enter a stalemate. If it enters a stalemate, the country will not be able to keep up. Originally, Japan launched the war in order to divert domestic conflicts.

The war has been going on for some time now, and it has not only failed to divert domestic conflicts, but has made the domestic market even more chaotic. The entire financial system is on the verge of collapse. If it really collapses, the Japanese troops on the front line will not be able to hold on for long. By then, without supplies from the rear, the Central China Expeditionary Army will be in danger.

It can be said that most of the officers of the Central China Expeditionary Force had never fought with the Security Corps, so they did not believe much in the legends about the Security Corps. However, General Matsui Iwane had studied the Security Corps carefully and believed that the Security Corps should not appear here, and their appearance here was a very strange situation.

First of all, their weapons came from. In China, it is impossible to produce so many weapons, not to mention China. Even Japan does not have so many advanced weapons. The Americans may have them, but how did they transport them? The Germans may also have them, but how did they transport them?

Even if the Germans and Americans are willing to support you, and the transport team has avoided the Empire's detection, why are these two countries willing to give you their latest weapons?

The second strange thing is their ammunition consumption. Fighting a high-intensity war, the ammunition consumption is enough to bankrupt a country. Just like now, the Japanese are using extremely backward weapons. But even so, Japan's domestic arms industry has too much horsepower. If it is not running at full capacity, it is not enough for the front line. China has no heavy industry at all, how can it withstand such heavy consumption? According to the analysis of video data, the ammunition used by each soldier of the security group is about ten times that of the Japanese army soldiers.

The third questionable point is the issue of military expenditure. The Japanese are very clear about the annual income of the Chinese central government. Even if the central government stopped spending money in all places and gave all taxes to the Chahar local government, they would not be able to afford such an army, such a powerful army.

Forget it. If I continue to think about these questions, I am afraid that I will not be able to figure them out even if all my brain cells are burned out. At this time, General Matsui Iwane needs to pay most attention to the Luodian area. As long as he can hold on to this area, he can seize the initiative in the future and tear open the Chinese defense position.

"Immediately order the intelligence department to put down all the work at hand. We must find out how many planes the Chahar Security Group brought here this time. Also tell the intelligence department that if the situation permits, they should find out where their airport is." General Matsui Iwane and Marshal Timoshenko had basically the same considerations. The air force is the top priority in modern warfare. As long as air superiority is mastered, the war is half won. Unfortunately, the aircraft of both sides are very backward. If they want to compete with the Chahar Front's Air Force for air superiority, the gap will be too big.

After arranging these things, General Matsui Iwane looked at Prince Asaka Naruhiko who was still chattering. He had to find something for this guy to do, otherwise, if he kept making trouble in the headquarters, trouble would arise sooner or later.

Suddenly, General Matsui Iwane thought of a good place to accommodate this guy. Since you are not comfortable here, I will arrange a good place for you. I believe you will live well there.
