The confrontation between Lanfang and Japan did not affect the construction of Japan's penicillin factory.
Qin Zhiyuan opened a penicillin factory in Japan for profit. The Japanese do have an urgent need for penicillin. This is a matter of win-win cooperation. Regardless of whether there are conflicts between Qin Zhiyuan and the Japanese, the confirmed cooperation projects will not
affected.
After all, the penicillin factory is nominally a cooperative project between France and Japan, and has no direct affiliation with Lanfang.
Of course, this is also because the contradiction is not big enough.
If conflicts accumulate to the point of war, Qin Zhiyuan will decisively terminate all cooperation no matter how much the Japanese need penicillin.
In order to prevent certain accidents from happening, all the engineering personnel sent by Qin Zhiyuan to Japan were French, and the security personnel were headed by Germans and supplemented by Annanese.
In terms of execution and discipline, Qin Zhiyuan still trusts the Germans more than the French.
Of course, this does not mean that the French are inferior to the Germans, but they are specialized in different fields, so they will have a certain tendency in assigning tasks.
As for the Annamites, they are here to stir up hatred.
Qin Zhiyuan actually agreed with using barbarians to control barbarians. It was just because those in the Qing Dynasty never had the opportunity to implement this concept, so they had no chance to implement this concept.
But during the Republic of China at this time, many countries had already practiced it.
Such as Japan, such as the United Kingdom.
During the Republic of China, the Japanese used a large number of Koreans as police to maintain the Japanese concession areas. Therefore, every time there was a conflict with the Chinese, the Koreans always rushed in front, while the Japanese hid behind and watched the fun.
Therefore, the reputation of Koreans in the Republic of China was not good. The Korean stick refers to the big stick in the hands of the Koreans.
The Koreans showed no mercy at all when they beat up the Chinese. From the name Goryeo Bangzi, we can see how much the Chinese hate the Koreans.
This is the intention of the Japanese. If the Chinese hate the Koreans and ignore the Japanese who caused all this, then the Japanese will have achieved their goal.
Of course, this does not mean that the Koreans are right. The Koreans and the Japanese are just laughing at the same time.
The same goes for the British. In the British Concession of the Republic of China, as long as you saw a policeman with a turban on his head, it was an Indian policeman hired by the British.
This is also a tool used by the British to divert hatred.
In some ways, the British also succeeded.
Perhaps from this time on, Indians became known as Asan among Chinese people. Part of the reason for this is because Indians always use sir when speaking, so they call them Asan.
This is also a title full of contempt and hatred.
The two countries, the British and the Japanese, actually have a lot in common, and their alliance is a match made in heaven.
First of all, they are both island countries. Their too-narrow territory has caused paranoia and distortion in the national character. The lack of abundant products requires them to maintain an expansionist mentality. The country is surrounded by oceans, which makes them attach great importance to the development of the navy.
Last but not least, there is a continent next to Britain and Japan that makes it difficult for them to sleep and eat.
What the British are most worried about is that some powerful country in Europe will unify Europe and endanger the interests of the British. Therefore, the British have been implementing a continental balancing policy for thousands of years.
As long as a certain country on the European continent becomes stronger, the British will unite with other countries to suppress that country, or directly launch a war, destroying the hope of that country's rise, and at the same time obliterating the hope of the reunification of the European continent.
The French suffered greatly from it, and so did the Germans.
The situation facing Japan is even more severe, because the Chinese mainland has always been the same country, and Japan does not have as many colonial resources as the British to utilize, so the Japanese are afraid of the unification of the Chinese mainland.
Because the Japanese know that once the Chinese mainland is unified, the interests of the Japanese will definitely be suppressed, and the Japanese will have to become vassals of the Chinese, just like they have been for thousands of years before.
Therefore, Japan spared no effort in destroying the unification of the Chinese people. Therefore, the military government in the south had the funds to fight against the Beiyang government, and continuously launched wars to strive for the so-called national unification.
No, the unification of this country is not comprehensive.
After World War II, a document was discovered. The content of the document was about the Sino-Japanese Covenant signed by the founding fathers of the Republic of China and Japan. At that time, the founding fathers promised in the covenant that once the Beiyang government established by Yuan Xiangcheng was overthrown, the founding fathers would cede Manchuria, that is, the three northeastern provinces.
Japan.
The authenticity of this document is highly controversial, with many people refusing to slander the founding fathers and insisting that this covenant is a forgery.
But there is an indisputable fact. The Founding Fathers have publicly stated on many occasions that Manchuria can be leased to Japan.
lease
From this perspective, the founding father is in some respects worse than another much-criticized national thief.
The national traitor here does not refer to Qin Zhiyuan, but to Yuan Xiangcheng.
Yuan Xiangcheng did sign an agreement with the Japanese, but it was not the legendary Twenty-One Treaties, but the abridged Fourth Civil Treaty.
After the Japanese proposed 21 measures, Yuan Xiangcheng vowed that the Republic of China would never be a second Korea. However, the Fourth Civil Treaty, which was reached through hard-fought and hard-fought negotiations, was completely different from the 21 measures originally proposed by the Japanese.
, it is really unjustifiable to say that he is a traitor.
One thing that can be proved is that after the Japanese representative Kato Takaaki returned to China after signing the Fourth Civil Treaty, Kato Takaaki resigned immediately.
If the Fourth Civil Treaty really allowed the Japanese to achieve their goals, Kato Takaaki should have been promoted and made a fortune instead of resigning.
As for Qin Zhiyuan specifically, Qin Zhiyuan is also prepared to be as shameless as the British and Japanese. Aren't you using Indians and Koreans as police officers?
Well, I also use Annan people as security personnel. Not only the security personnel sent to Japan, but also the security personnel sent to the United Kingdom and the United States are all Annan people.
To be honest, the Annamites are much better than the Koreans and Indians in terms of being ruthless to their enemies and being ruthless to themselves.
The Koreans are a dogfighter. As long as someone supports them, the Koreans will dare to kick their noses in the face.
Needless to say, the Indians have never had any sense of resistance and their obedience to the British is deep-rooted. Even when the whole world is vigorously pursuing colonial autonomy, the Indians can only engage in non-violent disobedience.
What a group of peaceful people.
The country of Annan is very special. They are a group of lunatics. Even they themselves are afraid of going crazy.
The Annan people once challenged American imperialism and pla. Although they failed in the end, the arrogance of this country is evident.
Yes, they did not challenge the Soviet Red Army, but that was because they were far away and out of reach. If the country of Annan was located in the Western Paradise, they might dare to challenge Tathagata Buddha's Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom.
On the other hand, this also proves the bravery of the Annan people.
Qin Zhiyuan took a fancy to the bravery of the Annan people, so when Wu Yuanting, Ruan Juncai and Fan Wenxiong led their troops back to the Far East, about one division of the Annan army immediately transformed into a foreign legion stationed in Palawan.
Palawan Island is actually a territory of the Philippines, but when the Spanish Flu broke out last winter, the residents of Palawan Island suffered heavy casualties. All Americans fled back to the United States and did not dare to stay in the Philippines where the epidemic was severe, so the Foreign Legion
At the request of the residents of Palawan, we landed on the island to provide humanitarian assistance.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. It is easier to invite foreign legions, but it is difficult to send them away.
Well, it's not difficult. As long as the epidemic in Palawan eases, the foreign legions will naturally evacuate. But the problem is that the epidemic has always been serious.
Yeah, yeah, it's probably going to be widespread for decades.
In order to comply with the trend of global disarmament, Qin Zhiyuan is also reducing the size of his army. For example, the 12 Chinese infantry divisions have now been reduced to 4, which are stationed in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Guinea, Sulawesi and Java.
.
The commanders of the four infantry divisions were Ge Lifu, Liu Zizheng, Zhang Tianshou and Xu Sheng.
The mechanized force consists of two tank divisions, stationed on Sumatra Island and Kalimantan Island, led by Chen Kangjian and Qin Haoge.
There are two artillery divisions, which are also stationed on Sumatra Island and Kalimantan Island. They are led by Zheng Dali and Cheng Feiming respectively.
From the distribution of troops, we can see the focus of Lanfang's defense. Sumatra is the focus of defense because it faces British Malaya across the sea and controls the Strait of Malacca, an important transportation channel.
Kalimantan is across the sea from the Philippines and is responsible for providing logistical support to Palawan, so Kalimantan is also a focus of defense.
Qin Zhiyuan's army also has an air force. Although it has less than 500 fighter planes, it is already the largest force in East Asia.
In fact, in East Asia, the main military power is Japan. The other countries are either colonies like Malaya and the Philippines, or countries like the Republic of China and French Indochina that pose no threat to Lanfang.
At this time, Japan's national strength was not as strong as imagined. The Japanese did have a lot of naval ships and the quality of the navy was good, but the development of the air force and army was seriously insufficient.
Japan's Zero War has always been trumpeted. In fact, the Japanese Air Force did not form an independent army until the end of World War II. It has always been an affiliated branch of the Army and Navy, and it was inherently deficient in terms of development.
Speaking of the Japanese Army, perhaps only the militarism armed with Bushido ideology is worth mentioning. The rest is really not worth mentioning and can only bully the volunteer troops of the Republic of China.
Japan has insufficient domestic resources and is extremely dependent on overseas countries. Without external blood transfusions, Japan cannot even be self-sufficient in food. As for their army equipment, the goal of building an army has always been to be stronger than the Republic of China and to compete with European countries.
It's really incomparable.
For example, in the late World War, whether it was the Allies or Germany, thousands of artillery were involved in the firepower preparation before the launch of each battle. This was simply impossible to achieve in Japan. The artillery shells alone could bankrupt the Japanese government.
At this time, Lanfang's army had actually surpassed European countries in terms of the proportion of artillery owned by its troops, especially large-caliber artillery. The total number of large-caliber artillery in Japan was less than one artillery division of Lanfang. This made Lanfang
Fang has a psychological advantage when facing the Japanese.
Not to mention tanks.
The Japanese had only seen this weapon of war that had just appeared for two years. They did not even have the opportunity to sit in it and experience it. However, in Lanfang, two tank divisions have been equipped with a full 480 tanks, and even four infantry divisions have
, has also been equipped with 160 tanks. This level of equipment is beyond the reach of Japan.
Let's talk about the air force. Lanfang's air force is roughly divided into half bombers and half fighters, almost four air combat divisions and four bomber wings.
The commanders of the air combat division are Bao Deshui and Dou Yongyi, both of whom are ace pilots. Bao Deshui had already had 67 combat achievements by the end of the world war. Dou Yongyi used to fly Bao Deshui's wingmen, and now he has
39 results, including the famous Red Baron.
The commander of the bomber wing was Zhou Hongguang. Starting from the Battle of Ferenta de Noir, Zhou Hongguang began to lead the bomber force to participate in the war.
By the end of the war, Zhou Hongguang had about 400 aircrews and 250 bombers under his command.
If all these bombers are dispatched at once, they can drop 200 tons of bombs on the enemy's head, which is about 10 times the one-time firepower of all Lanfang's artillery units combined.
Japan is also currently vigorously developing its air force
This strength is debatable. The Japanese have no engines, no fuselage wings, no aerial bombs, and no pilots.
Nothing at all
Compared with Lanfang, Japanese aircraft are currently about the same as kites.
