While Li Mu was worrying about the development of new weapons, news came from the Military Intelligence Department that polar bears and Xiao Benzi had a conflict with Zhang Gufeng.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. The Battle of Wuhan was already underway. At such a critical moment, Xiao Benzi dared to fight a bear in the Arctic.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment. Based on some information he had seen in the real world before coming here, it seemed that Little Book would really have to fight a polar bear next.
In order to compete for Zhang Gufeng, the conflict at the beginning gradually evolved into a war. From a small war, it developed into a war...
Until Xiao Benzi sent more than 7,000 people to occupy Zhang Gufeng. As a result, Polar Bear sent more than 20,000 people, including hundreds of tanks and more than 100 aircraft, and snatched Zhang Gufeng away from Xiao Benzi.
The hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops stationed in the Northeast were suddenly filled with indignation, as if they had suffered a great humiliation, and were about to expand the scale of the war and compete with the polar bears.
The cabinet of Hirohito and Omoto, seeing the war against China getting worse and worse, did not want to open a second battlefield at this time, so they could only negotiate a solution.
The final result was that Zhang Gufeng, who belonged to the Puppet Manchuria at that time, was lost.
It is because of this incident that our land stopped just ten kilometers away from the seaside, and the only outlet to the sea in the outer northeast was also lost.
Otherwise, this place can develop into a large port city, which will not only have great military significance, but also greatly promote the economic development of Northeast China.
…
However, everything has just begun now, and there is still time to recover.
So, do you want to add some fire?
The next battle between Xiao Benzi and the polar bear is a bit small to be honest, with only tens of thousands of people.
If there is a big fight, it can greatly alleviate domestic pressure and even divert conflicts.
When Li Mu thought of this, his mind suddenly became excited.
If you want the two families to fight, Zhang Gufeng alone is not enough. In addition, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Puppet Manchukuo. Although the little devil regards the Puppet Manchukuo as his own land, after all, it is not as valuable as his own land.
If you want them to get into a fight because of this, it's unlikely.
Then, we can only increase the attraction. With Xiaobo's current madness and greed, as long as the benefits are sufficient, we are not afraid that they will not work hard.
What is missing most from the notebook now?
The first is oil, which is the most important. Local resources are scarce in small countries, and oil is basically dependent on imports, especially most of which needs to be imported from the United States.
Now I can hold seven inches of it.
Despite the rapid growth of small books, in fact, the lifeline is in the hands of the United States.
His own oil is so little that it can barely supply the country, let alone the battlefield.
Without oil, various vehicles and some machinery in Japan would be unable to move, let alone operate.
On the battlefield, trucks transporting supplies, ammunition, and soldiers, tractors pulling artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, airplanes...none of them can be used.
When the air superiority and heavy firepower advantage are gone, how can the war be fought?
After the war broke out, although the United States exported a large amount of military supplies to Japan, its attitude was very ambiguous. I was very scared, what if the old Americans got crazy and cut off their oil!
This feeling of being held seven inches by someone is really uncomfortable. If possible, no one wants to put their life in the hands of others.
This is especially true for today's arrogant and crazy Xiaobenzi. How can they tolerate the lifeblood of their country being in the hands of another country.
If it is possible to get an oil field, they can produce oil on a large scale, and control the lifeline in their own hands, they will not hesitate even if they pay a huge price.
Not only small books, but also Germany.
For a long time, when talking about the reasons for Germany's defeat in World War II, there has been a very common view that Germany failed because of a lack of oil, because there was not enough fuel to support the war.
There is another point that modern people often complain about: if Germany does not fight polar bears, it is impossible to fail. This sentence is obviously considered from the perspective of war.
He had not considered another issue. Germany had the same huge shortcomings as Little Book. It lacked oil and had very little local production. As the war expanded, importing was not easy and it also required a large amount of foreign exchange.
However, the polar bears nearby, especially in the Caucasus, have a large number of high-quality oil fields.
This was too attractive to Germany. Even though they knew this bear was not easy to deal with, they had to fight it for oil.
Since oil is so valuable, Li Mu threw out a bait to Xiao Benzi.
He remembered that in the Far Eastern Siberia region, more than 100 kilometers away from what is now Manchukuo, there seemed to be a medium-to-large oil field with considerable reserves.
He can also find the approximate location by imitating the lake. As long as he finds an accurate map and does some calculations, he should be pretty close to it.
This place is not too far from where hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops are stationed. As long as I thought, hundreds of thousands of troops could occupy this place in one day and occupy an oil field that they dreamed of.
As for the reaction of the polar bear, everyone can guess.
Xiao Benzi is greedy for land, and polar bears are equally greedy for land. The border has been pushed more than a hundred kilometers north, and even the oil fields have been occupied. How can we give up?
I really have to swallow my anger, he is not a polar bear.
The two families are bound to have a fierce fight at this place.
If the polar bear wins and suffers heavy losses, it is hard to say whether the small book will be able to fight the war of aggression against China. Maybe the war of resistance will be ended early.
Even if it doesn't end, it is still lingering.
However, according to Li Mu's estimation, the first phase of the war is expected to end in a tragic victory for Xiaoben.
After all, the Far East is too far from the heart of the polar bear and is only connected by a railway. It's usually better, but when a war breaks out, this artery alone will be too thin.
As long as Little Book sends bombers to blow up the railway, this lifeline will be gone. Even if it is repaired, the polar bear's army will become a lone army in a short time, which is extremely detrimental to the war.
As for the small book, even if the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army are not enough to fight, they can still be dispatched from North China and Central China, or even recruited directly from the mainland.
Fighting to the end, the first stage of the war will end with a tragic victory for Xiaoben!
As for the second stage, with Xiaobo's greed, after the polar bears are defeated, there will be no military power in the Far East that can threaten them. Compared with China's fierce resistance, they will endure the unlimited land and so many resources in the north.
Live... don’t continue to take more and occupy more.
On the other side, the polar bears, who are also greedy for land, will be willing to fail and watch the small book encroach on their land in the Far East.
No matter what, we will start a war again and fight the war with Xiao Benzi.
When the time comes, Xiaobenzi's main battlefield will most likely shift here.
…
Let's have another wonderful fantasy. The Polar Bears are fighting with Little Book, and Germany is taking advantage of them behind the scenes. Even if they are not destroyed, their strength will definitely plummet.
So, in the future, when the Allies begin to counterattack, China will mainly rely on China for military power in the Far East and Siberia.
The Allies provide weapons and supplies, and we provide men. Even if we cannot defeat Xiaobenzi in Siberia, Xiaobenzi will still surrender when the ultimate weapon of the United States is released.
Then, in Siberia, only the nearest Chinese army can accept their surrender and take over the large areas under their control.
By then...the polar bear has been drained of blood by being attacked from both sides, and it will be good if it can maintain Europe's basic market.
Although China's navy is not good, its army that has been tempered by war is good. Not only is this large area in the Far East under actual control, it is also very suitable for large-scale army operations, and it can also fall into the hands of other countries.
The worst outcome is that we take a big step back due to pressure from various countries, but we can get back what we lost before.
After all, the furry bear whose blood has been drained has no right to speak. Who would really care about his interests?
…
Of course, the above is just Li Mu's imagination, and it will be difficult to realize it.
In order to let the little book really work, an oil field may not be safe, so Li Mu once again added a segment weight.
Although Xiaobenzi’s hometown produces precious metals such as gold and silver, iron, copper... these minerals, like oil, are in extremely short supply.
This is also indispensable for war and industrial development. Sometimes, it is even more important than oil.
Various weapons, whether they are firearms, artillery, armored vehicles...or naval battleships...all require a large amount of steel.
These happen to also need to be imported from the United States. Every year, Xiaobook imports a large amount of steel from the United States in the name of imported scrap steel.
This is also their seven inches and lifeline, which is also held in the hands of the United States.
This is also the reason why Little Book took action at Pearl Harbor.
There was no other way. At that time, Xiao Benzi joined the Axis Powers, and the United States was already planning to cut off Xiao Benzi's two lifebloods, oil and steel.
The little book can only take action first, and then quickly move south to Southeast Asia to seize oil fields and various supplies.
…
Now that he had identified the weakness of the small book, Li Mu remembered that there were several medium and large metal deposits within a hundred kilometers of that oil field, and even a medium-sized oil field, all of which could be thrown out as bait.
If you don’t believe the little book, you won’t take the bait.
…
Thinking of this, Li Mu could no longer sit still, so he diverted to Luoyang and flew abroad again.
This time, he did not go to Singapore. Instead, he traveled via India, spent a week, and after several transfers, arrived directly in Europe.
Although the identity he used this time was fictitious, the ID was real. However, it would be difficult to find this person based on this real ID.
However, in this era, there is no Internet, and information transmission is not convenient. It is normal for people to be unable to find them.
Using this identity, Li Mu flew to many big cities in England, France, Italy...
He spent millions of dollars to commission many well-known oil prospecting and prospecting teams from these countries to explore for oil and metal mineral deposits in the Far East at the locations he designated.
Even among the oil prospecting and mining teams he hired, there were also members from Little Japan.
In recent years, Xiao Benzi has really set up many oil prospecting teams and prospecting teams in order to search for oil and minerals in China.
Li Mu also made the entrustment through Xiaobenzi, a large group's office in the UK.
Although Xiaobenzi's technical level in this area is not as good as that of Europe, Li Mu's reasons are sufficient: it is close enough, he is familiar with the local area, and it is more convenient.
Of course it is convenient. It is so close to the puppet Manchukuo, so it is not under the nose of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army. Of course, the little book is very familiar.
After finishing these things, I completely abandoned the identity I had just used. It took more than a week, and after several transfers, I returned to Singapore. Before I could buy anything, I received a message from China.
Xiao Benzi and the polar bear got into a fight in Zhanggufeng.
…
Zhanggufeng is located on the east bank of the Tumen River Estuary more than 20 kilometers upstream. It is a highland with an altitude of only about 150 meters.
Xiaobenzi always believed that the Puppet Manchukuo was his own, so Zhang Gufeng was also his, and he also included it in the boundary of Hunchun County.
The polar bears think Zhang Gufeng belongs to them.
The two sides went from initial friction to tense situations...the situation became increasingly tense.
On the morning of July 30, the 19th Division of Xiaobenzi discovered a small group of Da Mao soldiers building a position at Shacaofeng. The location was deeper into the interior of Puppet Manchuria than the border line they advocated for demarcating in accordance with the Hunchun Boundary Treaty.
Although he did not wait for the order to attack, the commander of the 19th Division believed that this small group of Maozi dared to cross the border in the face of a division of the Imperial Army. This was a contempt and provocation to the Japanese Imperial Army, and he was determined to attack immediately.
Retreat and attack the enemy.
The 19th Division sent troops to repel the cross-border Mao. In the afternoon, a larger group of Mao crossed the border and the armies of both sides faced off until nightfall.
The news reached the rear, and soon a new order came: "Destroy the enemy troops crossing the border immediately!"
On the front line of Zhanggufeng, Odaka Kamezo was as excited as a chicken after receiving the order: "Gentlemen! This is our chance to expand our territory for His Majesty the Emperor and make contributions to the empire!"
The officials and leftists of the 19th Division standing around shouted wildly: "Defeat Da Mao! Long live the Emperor!"
Stimulated by the Kwantung Army's successful military adventure on September 18, every Japanese officer and soldier dreamed of becoming a hero like Kanji Ishihara.
The Japanese officers and soldiers of the 19th Division firmly believed that Zhanggufeng was the place of their dreams. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, they launched waves of attacks on the Zhanggufeng highland where the Mao Xiong Army was guarding.
The originally vast and silent night in Saibei turned into a noisy battlefield due to the rumbling sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing. The polar bear, who was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, was unable to resist the small book that surged up like a tide.
The whole battle lasted less than an hour and ended with the defeat of the polar bear, and all Zhang Gufeng's actions fell into the hands of Xiao BaoZi.
