Chapter 702
Villa in Huangshan, Chongqing.
"Committee."
Lin Wei quickly walked into the study and bowed slightly to Committee Member Jiang.
"Um!"
Chairman Jiang nodded slightly and asked, "How is the delegation sent by the Japanese government? Have you left Chongqing?"
Although Chairman Jiang really wants to negotiate, he wants to take a good breath, regain "there must be peace in the country before fighting foreign countries", and curb the increasingly powerful red regime!
But Chairman Jiang knew very well that now is not a good time for peace talks, nor can he raise the banner and engage in a blatant "civil war". In that case, wouldn't he become the second Wang Jingwei who was criticized by thousands of people?
So at this time, Chairman Chiang must make a high attitude, not only to publicly expel the Japanese delegation and express his firm position in the War of Resistance, but also to be widely publicized in the newspaper tomorrow.
Lin Wei replied respectfully: "If you return to the committee, the Japanese delegation has been expelled from Chongqing."
"good!"
Chairman Jiang let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at He Yingqin sitting on the left and said, "Jingzhi, while sending representatives to negotiate, Japan assembled a large number of reserves and reserve soldiers in the local area. What does this mean?"
He Yingqin pondered for a moment and said, "Commissioner, since Hideki Tojo came to the stage to form a cabinet, the Japanese government has fully moved into the wartime system, and now it is now marching a large-scale army division in China. It is obvious that there will be major moves in the near future."
He Yingqin had studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School twice and had a good time with Japan. In 1935, he secretly signed the "He Mei Agreement" with Mijiro Umezu, the commander of the North China garrison of Japan.
Chairman Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's see what's going on!"
He Yingqin then said: "Analysis of the humble job, there are two possibilities. One is that the Japanese have lost patience and finally showdown with us, and use force as a threat to make us surrender."
Chairman Jiang was not surprised at all and immediately snorted coldly: "The war has reached this point. The Japanese are still dreaming of spring and autumn. If they have the ability, they can do it. I don't believe that Yangyang China will really be destroyed in the hands of the Japanese!"
Chairman Jiang is really a little temper and confident now. Although he was defeated in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the navy was gone, the air force was gone, and the elite troops of the central army were lost, he has basically recovered now.
At this time, He Yingqin said upset: "Committee, Japan is definitely not ordinary this time. The Japanese have now completely moved into the wartime system. If they really make up their minds, they can burst out huge energy in a short period of time, and even form more than 200 divisions and more than 5 million Japanese army at one go!"
"What? More than five million Japanese Army?"
? Hearing this, Chairman Jiang's pupils shrank, he took a terrifying breath, stared at He Yingqin with wide eyes and said, "Didn't you always say that the Japanese's finances are exhausted and consumed seriously, and there is no way to launch a large-scale military operation?"
During the Battle of Shanghai, more than 200,000 Japanese troops could defeat more than 800,000 elite Chinese troops, and if five million Japanese soldiers were suddenly exposed, these dense scenes would make people shudder by thinking about them.
He Yingqin nodded: "Japan's military service system is very perfect. Since the Meiji Restoration began to use the recruitment system, and later the conscript system and reserve military service system have been established one after another. As long as the financial expenditure is sufficient, the energy source will be continuously expanded into a combat-capable infantry division."
"It's like that in theory, but it's actually difficult to achieve unless the Japanese government really cares about the consequences!"
At this time, Bai Chongxi, who was sitting on the other side, spoke:
"Because if the Japanese government really mobilizes more than 200 divisions to launch a national war, even if it wins, it will be greatly damaged."
"That's right."
Liu Sheng nodded and agreed, "Theoretically, the Japanese government can use 5 million troops, but being able to use half of the army's strength to come to the Chinese battlefield is already their limit. If they increase their troops, they will have to hurt themselves before they kill the enemy."
Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "What does it mean?"
Chairman Jiang was a little confused when he heard this. If that was the case, why didn’t the Japanese government go all out from the beginning and exploded five million troops at once, and beat China to death with one stick?
If it were me, it would be worth it even if I paid a great price. It would be much better than the current front line getting longer and harder to ride a tiger, right?
"Theoretically, the Japanese government can recruit five million troops, but that is only the limit of the Japanese government's war mobilization, and it is definitely not just for thinking about it!"
Bai Chongxi explained: "Because once this is done, it means that domestic factories in Japan will be closed in large quantities, schools will be closed, production and operation activities will be completely stopped, and even rural farmland will be desolate in large quantities.
Because workers, teachers, students, and farmers all have to pick up their weapons and go to the battlefield.”
At this time, Liu Sheng added: "If this is the case, even if the Japanese domestic one wins, it will be impossible to recover within at least ten years.
You should know that there are not only two countries in the world today, China and Japan, such as the Soviet Union and the United States, which are powerful potential enemies that Japan has to consider and guard against.
So it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to do this until the last moment.
This time, the Japanese used this as a threat, which only shows that they have lost their confidence in destroying China for a short time."
Bai Chongxi added again: "But one thing needs to be paid attention to is that the Japanese government has invested in the Chinese battlefield currently about one million troops, which is far less than half of the army that can be recruited!
If the Japanese government gritted its teeth and summoned another million troops, the consequences would be quite serious!”
"Hit!"
Hearing this, Chairman Jiang's heart fell down again and said with a dark face:
"In other words, the war potential of little Japan is still very high. If necessary, they really have the strength to launch a war to destroy China?
Although the final result may not necessarily be able to win, and the national strength will be severely damaged, at least they have the ability to launch a battle to destroy the country. Is that what it means?"
Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "Yes. After the Battle of Wuhan, if Japan still has the strength, it will never stop easily, but will continue to fight west along the Yangtze River and take the capital of China Chongqing.
However, the reality is that the Japanese army stopped attacking head-on after capturing Wuhan. It was not that the Japanese did not want to continue the attack, but that they could not support it.
Because continuing to expand the front will consume the Japanese government's fiscal revenue and excessively consume Japan's war potential, which will seriously affect Japan's battle with Western powers.
So in the end, the frontal battlefield offensive was temporarily stopped and instead negotiated with the National Government, trying to conquer China by inducing surrender."
"I see!"
Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "Then you say that if we did not respond to the Japanese peace talks this time, will Japan be angry and summoned another 1 million troops to China? In this case, will we still have a chance to win?"
Speaking of this, Chairman Jiang was really worried. He lost one-third of his territory after paying the heavy casualties. It is not easy to enter the stalemate stage. Without major wars, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
