But in fact, "negotiations" were just a cover for militants like Tojo who fanatically advocated "going south" to expand aggression to delay the situation and prepare for war.

The Japanese side at the negotiating table has no "sincerity" at all. They demand that the United States recognize "Manchukuo" and agree that Japan can obtain resources from Southeast Asia.

The two sides refused to give in, and the contradictions and differences became wider and wider.

The signing of the Axis alliance treaty is imminent. As the foreign minister, Yosuke Matsuoka knows what this will mean, so he very urgently hopes that the Japanese navy can go south as soon as possible and take the lead!

Chapter 680 Timely Stop Loss

"That's right!"

Konoe Fumimaro nodded and said: "The Three Kingdoms Axis Alliance is imperative, and I also believe that the top priority is to attack south, and get enough oil and iron ore before the Americans cut off the empire's strategic material supply!"

Japan's oil is extremely dependent on imports. Although a large-scale coal liquefaction plant has been built, it is still far from enough for the entire Japanese Empire to consume oil.

So far, Japan has not found any oil that can be exploited on the territory of China. Naturally, the most worrying thing is that the oil reserves are insufficient to maintain the operation of the war machine.

In addition, although Huaxia is rich in resources, there are not many iron ore resources in Xiaxia, and most of the poor ore is not rich ore, or is a composite ore with multi-element symbiosis. There are not many real high-quality rich iron ore.

Especially with the current smelting technology, although Japan occupies a lot of China's land, it is very difficult to smelt iron ore, and it is difficult to smelt high-quality steel that meets the needs.

At present, the war in China is in a stalemate. The Japanese army is simply unable to conquer China in a short period of time. Moreover, Japan has determined that China is an oil-poor country and cannot obtain the most needed oil from it.

Therefore, Southeast Asia, which is rich in oil resources, rubber resources, and tin mines, has become the most attractive target of the Japanese Empire.

Hideki Tojo answered: "Although the Huaxia Huben Army is powerful, its leader, Yang Fan, is not ambitious, as long as they stay in a corner, they will not pose a threat to the empire in the short term.

On the contrary, if the empire wants to eat the Huaxia Huben army in one go at this stage, it will cause too much consumption and sacrifice. Therefore, I think that it is the most wise choice to stop the attack immediately and stop the loss in time. "

"Suoga! If that's the case, let's do this!"

Hearing that the opinions of the ministers were surprisingly unified, Hirohito nodded in agreement.

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

Konoe Fumimaro, Tojo Hideki and other old ghosts all nodded their heads and praised.

Gaomi Huben Army Command.

With the adjustment of the devil's strategy and policy, the devil's ground troops who attacked Boshan, Zichuan, Qidong and other counties retreated one after another, and even the occupied Changshan county and Zouping county spit out.

Everything returned to the state before the war, and the devils once again adopted a strategy of encircling and not attacking the Huben Army.

After reading the latest information one by one, Yang Chengliang was stunned: "Boss, the devil just admits it like this? Our brothers in the Second Army have just found the feeling, and today I am going to let the 5th Brigade go to Qidong County to change defenses and practice hands!"

Chen Ergou also nodded with desire and dissatisfaction: "Who says it's not! Our special fighters have only fought a few small battles that are not painful at all, and it's not enjoyable at all!"

Miao Dadong exaggeratedly wiped his eyes with his hand and said, "Stop talking, it will turn into tears if you talk too much! Our First Army just heard the cannon fire, and apart from firing a few rounds of anti-aircraft guns, we have never even been on the battlefield!"

"Okay, don't act cute and coquettish with me. This time we have passed the test. Although we have not lost a lot of troops this time, we are still far from meeting the conditions for a strategic counterattack, so we have to pretend when we should pretend to be cowardly!"

Yang Fan cursed with a smile and then said: "The devils are probably going to attack Southeast Asia now, and they won't care about us for a while.

I haven't played enough, there will be opportunities in the future, and we have more important tasks next! "

Yang Fan is well aware of how strong the war potential of the Japanese devils is. If he goes to fight recklessly now, he will definitely not be able to fight. It is better to let the little devils go out for a while and get the US emperor involved in the war.

At this moment, Li Shuchun was a little puzzled and asked: "Boss, are the devils really going to attack Southeast Asia? The devils haven't even defeated us in China. It's puzzling to expand the scale of the war at this time?"

"Yeah, I'm a little confused too!"

"Boss, just tell us!"

Li Shuchun's question immediately aroused the desire of Miao Dadong and others to seek knowledge, and they all turned to look at Yang Fan with curiosity and inquiry on their faces.

"All right!"

Yang Fan nodded and said: "Actually, the most important thing here is the problem of resources. You all know that Little Japan is an island country with poor resources.

However, Southeast Asia is rich in resources such as crude oil, iron ore, and rubber, and these resources are the basic raw materials of industry, especially crude oil, which is called the blood of modern industry! "

After a pause, Yang Fan continued: "Before the Japanese devils fully invaded China, they started preparing for war a long time ago. The devils not only sent a large number of intelligence agents to investigate all aspects of China's intelligence, but also surveyed China's mineral resources. .

The devils spent nearly 20 years back and forth, and they discovered that although China's resource reserves are rich, it does not have the most urgently needed oil in Japan!

Moreover, the grade of Huaxia iron ore is very poor, and it is difficult to smelt high-quality steel! "

"what?"

When Chen Ergou heard this, he subconsciously showed a disappointed expression and said, "Boss, is there really no oil in our country? And is the iron ore poor?"

Yang Fan asked with a smile: "Don't you still hope that the little devils will discover rich oil and a large amount of high-quality iron ore on our land? If that's the case, do you know what will happen?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Chen Ergou was immediately blushed when he was asked. He is not stupid, how can he not know that once the devils discover oil fields and high-quality iron ore, they will definitely try their best to capture them.

If the devils control these most important war resources, their war potential will naturally be infinitely magnified, and the war in China will definitely become extremely cruel.

Yang Fan did not tell Chen Ergou the answer he wanted, but continued: "In other words, the Japanese devils now think that even if they annex the entire China, Japan will not be able to obtain the most urgently needed raw materials!

On the contrary, in the Far East of the Soviet Union and Southeast Asia, there are high-grade iron ore and oil that Japan most urgently needs.

As long as they occupy Southeast Asia, the Japanese army can grab a large amount of industrial raw materials such as oil, rubber, and iron ore in Southeast Asia!

So even if more and stronger enemies would be established as a result, the Japanese devils had no choice but to attack southward to maintain the operation of the war machine. "

Miao Dadong nodded suddenly and said: "I see! Southeast Asia is a colony of Britain, France, and the United States. If Japan sends troops to Southeast Asia, it will be fighting against Britain, France, and the United States!"

In this way, the pressure on us in Huaxia will definitely be greatly reduced, and then we don't have to worry too much about the little devils concentrating all their strength on us. "

"It's good that everyone knows that the most urgent task is not to pursue the victory, but to recuperate. There will always be a period of calm before the storm. When the next time comes, it will be a real battle to destroy the country!"

Yang Fan waved his hand lightly and didn't continue to elaborate. If you tell them that once the devils enter the wartime system, Japan can mobilize at least another 600 million troops and produce tens of thousands of aircraft every year. Wouldn't that scare people to death?

Chapter 681

After everyone digested the information, Yang Fan made another big move: "Next, I still have three important things to give you a briefing in advance, so that you can have an idea in your mind first."

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions curiously, Yang Fan went on to say:

"This time we were able to narrowly pass the test. The most important thing is that our air force is strong and brave enough to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese air force and firmly grasp the air supremacy in the defense area. Otherwise, the little devils will never retreat easily.

I won't emphasize the importance of the air force. In a word, one of the next key tasks is to continue to strengthen and expand the air force. "

"The boss is wise!"

"The chief is right. This time our air force played a key role, scaring the little devils' ground troops from easily forming a formation and launching a strong attack!"

"Yes, as long as we firmly grasp the air supremacy, our army will be able to stand up straight and display its real combat effectiveness!"

"Well, if there is no air supremacy, the devil's plane will keep shitting on the top of the head, and it will be really suffocating!"

Li Shuchun, Miao Dadong, Wang Liguo and others nodded in agreement.

Yang Fan went on to say: "I decided to expand the number of pilots and build a training base dedicated to training pilots as soon as possible. The most basic goal is to train at least 8000 pilots every year."

"Huh? 1 pilots per year?"

Wang Liguo's pupils constricted, he looked at Yang Fan dumbfounded and said:

"Boss, will there be too many? We now have a total of just over 600 combat aircraft. Even if each fighter plane reserves three pilots, a large number of pilots will have to be idle!"

"You don't have to worry about this, just do as I say! You can never have too many pilots. The scale and cruelty of future wars will exceed your imagination!"

Yang Fan waved his hand, and said in a commanding tone: "Site selection and construction of the pilot training base, as well as pilot training work, Mr. Wang and Chief of Staff Liu, you must take it as the top priority and do it yourself, and you must not be sloppy!"

Although the price of Mustang fighter jets in the system mall is very high, if the wealth point cannot keep up with the pace, Yang Fan can not only buy cheap other types of fighter jets in the system mall, but also order directly in the United States with US dollars.

Conversely, once Japan's firepower is fully activated, tens of thousands of aircraft can be built in a year, so the pilot reserve must keep up. Otherwise, if there are enough money to buy aircraft and there are not enough pilots to fly them, it will be bad food.

"Yes!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Wang Liguo and Liu Qingyuan quickly stood up and took orders solemnly.

"Okay! Sit down!"

Yang Fan nodded and said: "The second thing is to expand the army, the 5th division will be expanded into the 5th army, and the 6th division will be expanded into the 6th army!

第5军和第6军都将按标准下辖2师6旅18团,全军整编建制为5万人!”

After a pause, Yang Fan looked at the excited Yun Qichang and Gu Liangmin with a smile and said, "Commander Yun and Commander Gu, congratulations!"

"Thank you for your cultivation!"

"I swear to follow the chief seat to the death, and I will not hesitate to do anything!"

Yun Qichang and Gu Liangmin stood up excitedly, and saluted heavily, their whole bodies were bloodshot, their faces were flushed and their eyes were shining.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. After waiting for more than a year, Yun Qichang and Gu Liangmin finally got their wish. And not excited that's definitely fake.

"Congratulations Commander Yun, Congratulations Commander Gu!"

"Haha, congratulations! Congratulations!"

Naturally, there will be a burst of congratulations and congratulations of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone".

When the meeting room gradually quieted down, Yang Fan continued: "The third thing is to further strengthen the mechanization of the army.

Each infantry army must form at least one mechanized infantry division. In addition to being equipped with a large number of transport vehicles, each division will be equipped with a certain number of tanks and armored vehicles.

The tank divisions were reorganized into armored divisions, . . . "

Yang Fan has been planning and preparing for the mechanization of the troops, but the Huben Army is on the defensive as a whole and does not require high mobility and breakthrough power, so related matters have not been put on the agenda.

But now, the situation is changing, and Yang Fan will switch to a strategic counter-offensive in a year at most, and he will be able to use it at that time.

Tank divisions and armor divisions sound similar, but they are actually very different.

A tank division is a division with tanks as its main combat weapon, equipped with a large number of tanks and a certain number of infantry, artillery, and industrial units.

The main force of the tank division combat force is usually configured as: 2 tank regiments + 1 machine infantry regiment + 1 self-propelled artillery regiment + 1 air defense regiment?

The armored division is a division with armored vehicles as the main combat weapon. The difference from the tank division is that the proportion of infantry, artillery, engineering, and land aviation has been increased, so that the division's assault force is more manifested as a multi-arms composite assault. And no longer limited to tanks.

In Yang Fan's vision, the armored division will be further expanded into an armored army, or even an armored group army. The Iron Torrent is definitely the unstoppable king of land warfare in the current era.

As for the mechanized infantry division, the means of transportation are mainly mechanized infantry fighting vehicles, and the weapons are mainly vehicle-mounted weapons, such as artillery, anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, vehicle-mounted mortars, grenade launchers, etc., while individual weapons are secondary.

For infantry, mechanized infantry is the highest stage of development. The organization and command of mechanized infantry and tank coordination is very complicated and very expensive.

But Yang Fan is not short of money, and would rather invest more in the cost of weapons and equipment than to use human life to fight the tactics of crowds.

"Wow, that would be great!"

"Hey, the chief is really amazing. If I hadn't heard what the chief said, I would never have dreamed that I would be able to fight like this!"

"That's needless to say! The chief god is also!"

"When it really comes to that time, don't you want to kill the little devil?"

After listening to the blueprint drawn by Yang Fan, Li Shuchun and others all showed yearning and admiration.

For now, they already feel that their army is too powerful to have any friends. If the air force factor is aside, they can completely rub the little devil's army on the ground.

But now, Li Shuchun and others only felt that a new window was opened again, and a beautiful new world appeared in front of them.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully resisting the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and has wiped out more than 1.47 enemies. The system hereby rewards 8000 million wealth points."

Just after the meeting, the system sent a congratulatory message. This wave of rewards is very rich, equivalent to a month's income of Taobao Manor, enough to buy 200 Mustang fighter jets!

"Very awesome! Thank you Mr. System!"

Yang Fan snapped his fingers very happily. There is never too much money, especially as the scale of the war expands uncontrollably, more and more money will be burned.

It is better to be alone than to be happy alone. When he returned home, Yang Fan told his family the good news that the devils had withdrawn and confessed. The whole room was naturally overjoyed, and the gloom and mist hanging over his heart disappeared in an instant.

Chapter 682 Some people are happy and some are sad

"Haha, we won! Little Takako was beaten away!"

"Long live the chief seat!"

"Long live the Tiger Army!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

After receiving the news of the victory, the soldiers and civilians in the Shandong Peninsula were naturally cheered, filled with happiness and excitement everywhere, and countless soldiers and civilians spontaneously rushed to the streets to sing and dance, set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums, and sang songs.
