Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Regarding this war between us and the Japanese, I can only tell you that as long as we persist, we will definitely be the final winner. How many people do we have? A full 4 million. And what about the Japanese? Less than tens of millions, and their territory is only 5000/1 of our area. They have no domestic resources, and everything needs to be plundered. If their economic line is cut off, the entire country will perish." If there were people who could say this in the previous society, it can be said that there were many people who could say this, but in this era, all kinds of news are relatively closed, and there is basically no information of all kinds. Those who can still analyze this are really capable people.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but our war situation is not favorable now and the troops on the front have suffered heavy losses. Although the troops in the rear are organized, they are afraid of the enemy. They also said that if we send them up, they will be killed. Now the situation inside the party is really difficult. We want to have a big decisive battle with the Japanese but we are afraid of failure. If we really fail, it will be a fatal blow to our entire nation." From tonight until now, Bai Chongxi has not said a word. He only speaks when discussing the situation on the battlefield. It seems that he is just a pure soldier.

Other warlords basically had one core person, but the Guangxi warlords had two people. Their division of labor was very clear. Li Zongren was in charge of some political and civil issues, while Bai Chongxi was in charge of military affairs. The two had cooperated well over the years. Otherwise, the Guangxi warlords would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the country, and they would have been the last local warlord to survive.

"Speaking of the issue of failure, that's for sure. How long did each Japanese soldier train before going to the battlefield? How long did our soldiers train? I don't know about others, but take the most elite German-equipped division of our Central Army for example. They only wore German helmets and carried 98k rifles. Are they really equipped with German equipment? They will never learn the soul of German soldiers. We didn't get the cannons and machine guns of the German army. We only learned a little bit. Why should we fight with the Japanese? In my opinion, Japan is just a third-rate power. If it were put on the European battlefield, any country could crush them. But now it is in Asia, in our China. In the past 100 years, we China have been behind all countries. Even if it is a third-rate power, we can't deal with it." When saying these words, Mr. Jiang Baili was heartbroken. This situation of poverty and weakness was not formed now. It has been more than 100 years.

"Although our weapons and equipment and training are inferior to those of the Japanese, the war we are waging is just. We are defending our country, while the war waged by the Japanese is an aggressive war. They will eventually fail. Justice will surely defeat evil. In addition, the war potential of our two countries is different. Although we have lost hundreds of thousands of troops at present, we can still organize hundreds of thousands of troops. Can the Japanese do that?" Seeing that these people were a little depressed, Mr. Jiang Baili began to encourage them.

Several people also felt a little excited when they heard this.

Yes, although the weapons of the Japanese devils are relatively advanced, their shortcomings are their small land area and scarce resources. Their human resources seem to be abundant, but can they really fight on the battlefield?

According to the latest battle reports from the front line, the Japanese have lost 50,000 to 60,000 troops in the war. For their country, 50,000 to 60,000 people may be sustainable, but the war will continue in the future. Even if China loses hundreds of thousands of troops, it can be reorganized within one or two months. If the Japanese lose hundreds of thousands of troops, can their country replenish them?

"Mr. Zhan Ning, I wonder what you think of the current strategic situation? Do you have any suggestions on our resistance?" Bai Chongxi said.

"Our current way of resistance is wrong. From the capital to the south, even to the southernmost part of our country, it is flat and it is a plain area. The terrain of our country is high in the west and low in the east. If we can move the strategic decisive battle to the west, the Japanese attack will be more difficult. I think we should open up a second battlefield here." Although Mr. Jiang Baili no longer leads troops, there is always a staff room in his home, and there are still maps in it.

Sure enough, the direction of history is correct. When Mao Yuanshan saw that the place Mr. Jiang Baili pointed to was Shanghai, this should be the site of the Battle of Shanghai. It seems that what is written in the history books is correct. The Battle of Shanghai was first initiated by the National Army in order to attract the main force of the Japanese to this place.

"But the Jiangnan region is the main source of tax revenue for our entire government. If we lure the Japanese devils here, the entire government's revenue will drop sharply, which will make it very difficult for our entire country's war of resistance." Li Zongren clenched his fists as he spoke. There are not many developed places in China, and the Jiangnan region can be said to be the only developed place in China. If this place is destroyed, it will be even more difficult for China to rise in the future.

"You need to learn about the gains and losses of the country. Although these places are valuable, they are nothing compared to the entire country. It is precisely because these places are valuable that the Japanese can place their main forces here and fight according to our strategic situation. Otherwise, we will be not far from the destruction of our country." Mr. Jiang Baili said lightly.

There are some people within the entire party and government who share the same idea as Mr. Li Zongren, who want to block the Japanese in North China and never let them come to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is the foundation of the entire government. If this area is in chaos, it is very likely that the entire country will fall into a dilemma. However, they did not think about it. If the country is destroyed, what is the point of just keeping this place? In the end, this place is not owned by the Japanese. You are just holding it for a while longer. It is useless.

It would be better to take the initiative now while we have the initiative, so that we can keep the initiative in our own hands and catch the Japanese devils off guard.
