During the period when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, the resistance of the Chinese people never stopped. The Japanese caravans, patrols, checkpoints, and military camps were all within the attack range. These attackers liked to use mortars the most.
They immediately retreat after firing a cannon. If Japan wants to pursue them, these people will escape without a trace. Sometimes Japan sends fewer people and faces the risk of being annihilated. In the middle of the attack, the people
Under constant harassment, Japan's idea of taking Shandong as its own has never been realized, and because the trade routes were frequently harassed, Japan had to mobilize supplies from the country and transport them to Qingdao by sea. This was a huge problem.
It consumes Japan's financial resources.
Since the occupation of Qingdao in 1914, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers have been killed in various attacks. As for the number of injured, more than 10,000 people have been injured. Japan knows very well that the people fighting in Shandong and Japan are not guerrillas at all.
Regardless of the banner they use as an anti-Japanese volunteer army, these people are definitely well-trained Chinese soldiers.
He is also an expert in guerrilla warfare, and Japan has frequently protested to China. When Beiyang was in power, it was still somewhat effective, but now that the Sichuan clique is in power, its foreign attitude has become more and more tough, and the strength of Shandong's volunteer army has also expanded rapidly, with more and more equipment.
The more exaggerated it is, traditional mines, mortars, grenade launchers, etc. are already obsolete, but these guerrillas are actually able to equip tanks and combat vehicles.
Relying on tanks and vehicles, guerrillas have ambushed Japan's food transport teams several times, which greatly shocked the top management of Japan. Originally, Japan relied on superior weapons to bully others, but now Japan is at a disadvantage. What's the change?
Can you keep Riben from going crazy?
Some people in Japan's government have said that Shandong is a wound that will never recover. It makes the empire continue to bleed, and requires Japan to give up its power in Shandong and withdraw from Qingdao. However, this kind of voice is above Japan's political arena.
It didn't get much support at all. And the military was extremely opposed to it.
In fact, Japan's thinking is also normal. With the peaceful transfer of power in China, the Sichuan clique began to dominate China. The face of the entire country is changing rapidly, especially the increase in industrial strength is very amazing. Although Japan's current industrial
The strength is much stronger than that of China, but Japan has to invest a lot of energy into its navy, and most of Japan's resources rely on imports. It can be said that the production capacity of the small island country itself is not much different from that of China.
difference.
If Japan withdraws from China now, Japan will completely lose the power to restrain China. Japan is absolutely unwilling to lose Shandong, but there are worse things. That is the Far East. Kolchak has disappeared, Belarus is leaderless, and the majority of the party
The troops will soon reach the Far East. Sexual diseases are rampant among the Japanese army. The soldiers cannot stand the Russian climate. If they want to get the Far East, they must cooperate with China. (.)
In other words, it is necessary to exchange benefits, and Japan does not have many chips in its hands. Shandong? Northeast? Taiwan? Japan is in serious distress!
"Prime Minister, I think it is better not to rush into a war if we can get it through negotiation. Domestic reforms have reached a critical moment, and it is really not appropriate to offend Japan!" Zhou Ziqi, an old man from Beiyang, said: "Japan is a great power after all. Its navy is proud of the Far East.
Don’t offend if you can!”
"Minister Zhou, we cannot rely on negotiations to resolve the territorial issue. The peace talks are completely different. The peace talks are safer and more secure, and they can also deter thieves. Japan's navy is indeed powerful, but its land and air force are absolutely
We are not our opponents, we cannot expect charity from others, but should fight for it ourselves!" Jiang Baili had been planning the Shandong offensive for Qiao Yu, so he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ziqi's discouraged attitude.
The same is true for Han Yong, who looks down on cowards like Zhou Ziqi. "If negotiations could be negotiated, the Paris Peace Conference would have been negotiated long ago. The Paris Peace Conference taught me a truth. In this world, fists speak, and the great powers all speak.
A bunch of bastards, only by beating them to pain and disability will they not dare to covet China. We have troops here to suppress Japan's arrogance, and then we can negotiate with Japan over there to get Shandong back.
, just relying on words is of no use!”
Zhou Ziqi was bombarded and stopped talking immediately. Qiao Yu did not continue to talk about this matter. "The second topic is the development of the Northeast, which is the overall immigration, including the Northeast, Mongolia, and Xinjiang.
Yunnan, Guangxi and other places need to strengthen their frontier forces, the most important of which is the Northeast. The Northeast plain is vast and the soil is fertile. Especially after the outer Northeast is taken away, the amount of cultivable land in the Northeast has increased greatly, and
The current sparse population is the focus of our immigration. I propose to immigrate 30 million people to the Northeast in the next five years. Within 20 years, the population of the Northeast will reach more than 80 million, turning the vast black land into our
granaries and oil depots!”
In the history of the Republic of China, the people's livelihood of the three northeastern provinces has long led the country. The main reason for this is the unique resource advantages of the Northeast. The fertile black soil allows the Northeast to grow food for only one season, but its output leads the country. Moreover, the Northeast also has
There is another important way to make money, and that is soybeans. In later generations, China will import soybeans from the United States, but in the history of the Republic of China, Northeastern soybean exports exceeded 90% of the world's.
In other words, China has achieved a monopoly and can raise prices at will in exchange for huge profits. However, due to Japan's economic control, soybean exports in the Northeast are controlled by Japanese companies, making the profits plainly occupied by Japan. Of course, the people of Northeast China can also pass
Oil mills everywhere have gained some benefits.
Now Qiao Yu is preparing to immigrate to the Northeast on a large scale. The most important thing is to develop the agricultural potential of the Northeast. He must not give up the profits from soybeans and will not give Japan any chance. In addition, Northeast rice will also be famous throughout the country in later generations.
There are also rich mineral resources, enough to support the establishment of a huge heavy industry system.
For such a treasure land, Qiao Yu will never let it go. The cabinet members here also agree with this idea. Now, whether it is the southwest where land reform has been carried out, or the densely populated southeast and central plains, there is a large amount of idle labor.
, it is a top priority to solve the problem of work and food for them. Therefore, it is the best thing to send these excess people to the Northeast to open up wasteland.
However, such a large-scale immigration activity is probably rare in the world, so supporting work, medical care, and security must be done well. Early investment must be planned by the government. After discussion, Qiao Yu decided to set up a special
The working group, led by myself, is responsible for the immigration work.
Next, we entered the third topic, which is also the matter that attracts the most attention, which is the reorganization of the national army. Jiang Baili has been handling this work, and the preliminary plan has been finalized at this time.
"The entire army will be reorganized in a unified manner. All the original armies in each province will be abolished. From now on, each province will not be allowed to retain the army. Only part of the National Guard can be retained. The newly established National Defense Force will use divisions as the basic unit, with a total of 80 training units.
There are five infantry divisions, divided into three levels: A, B, and C. There are a total of twenty A divisions. They adopt a system of two brigades and four regiments, equipped with heavy artillery units and armored forces as the main battle force. Each division has 15,000 people.
There are about 20 B divisions in total, and each division still has two brigades and four regiments. However, it is not equipped with armored units and serves as a supplementary force to the main battle force. It is usually stationed in various provinces and strategic locations. Each division has
The number is about 10,000; there are a total of forty-five C divisions, with no brigade-level establishment. Each division has three infantry regiments, and is also equipped with some auxiliary troops. It is responsible for local security tasks in peacetime, and can be expanded at any time during major wars.
Main battle force.
In addition to the infantry, three tank divisions will be established as the main assault force of the entire army. In addition, seven cavalry divisions will be set up in Mongolia and Xinjiang as a border patrol and defense force. The air force strength will be expanded from 300 combat aircraft.
To ensure the air force's dominant position in the Far East, the navy plans to establish three major fleets, the Yellow Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet. The main weapons will be designed by Chinese shipyards and initially built within the next ten years!"
Jiang Baili briefly introduced the main situation, and then announced the list of main military commanders. There are nearly a hundred divisions in the country, especially the twenty A-type divisions, and the three tank divisions are the key. Directly
It involves the balance of power among various factions, so everyone pays special attention to it.
Long Yun, Su Ding, Liu Cunhou, Pan Wenhua, Wang Zanxu, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Wang Mingzhang and other Sichuan generals were all selected. In addition, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Sun Chuanfang, Sun Liechen and other Beiyang generals also got their wish to become division commanders of the A division, and all three tank divisions were
They were all served by the Sichuan faction. Lu Han, Liu Wenhui, and Fan Shaozeng became the commanders of three tank divisions.
People such as Liu Xiang, Shi Yi, Wang Huai and others have been promoted to military officers of one party. Among the entire division, those from the Sichuan faction received less than 70%. However, the main forces are all controlled by the Sichuan faction, especially the navy and air force.
Beiyang and other local forces retained about 30% of their power. This distribution plan was basically fair. Qiao Yu did not clear out all of Beiyang. Some of the people he appointed were recognized as capable generals in Beiyang.
This allocation basically satisfied all parties. The three main issues were successfully passed, and the first official meeting of the cabinet was successfully completed. However, Qiao Yu did not have any free time. He assigned the two spy chiefs Wang Lingji and Wang Tianhe to
Called into the office.
"Ark, how's the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, after I came to Bei Jing in a humble position, I established the National Intelligence and Security Bureau and conducted a thorough investigation of Bei Jing and its surroundings. The number of spies is extremely high, especially the Japanese. However, we have monitored all major spy agencies.
As long as the Prime Minister gives an order, they can all be eradicated. In addition, there are indeed a large number of bureaucrats and literati in Beijing who have been bribed by the great powers. These people attack the government from all angles, belittle the image of the Chinese, and defend the great powers. We have already
Got a rough list!”
Qiao Yu nodded, "I won't read the list. Don't touch the irrelevant ones for the time being. Just treat them as monkey tricks. Those who are evil and extremely harmful must be dealt with as soon as possible. In addition, we can't just passively defend."
, Sending spies to foreign countries is one aspect, and we also need to learn to use these bastards to help us deliver news!"
After giving Wang Lingji a few words, Qiao Yu said to Wang Tianhe: "Tianhe, I asked you to investigate the affairs of the Zongshe Party and the Japanese people. What's going on now!"
"Prime Minister, with the support of the Japanese ronin Kawashima Naniwa, the Zongsha Party took advantage of the Revolution of 1911 and Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor in 1912 and 1916 to instigate Manchu independence actions, but they all ended in vain, but the Zongsha Party
The Socialist Party has become an important card for Japan to control the Northeast, and the Socialist Party itself has become a cancer and must be eradicated!"...)
