    Tada Shun¡¯s telegram and the Japanese army¡¯s disastrous defeat in Shandong quickly caused shock in Japan, so much so that the emperor had to convene an imperial meeting to discuss the matter!

    For the Japanese base camp and the entire Japanese government, the performance of the Imperial Japanese Army on the entire Chinese battlefield in the past half year has been disappointing.

    First, the imperial army in North China was fought by the Chinese army for a winter counterattack. As a result, the imperial army suffered heavy losses!

    Just after it recovered a little, the 11th Army was caught off guard by the Chinese army in northwest Hubei, losing five to six thousand people.

    Immediately afterwards came the Battle of Southwest Shandong, where the 17th Division was almost wiped out, and the following Battle of Southern Hebei also suffered heavy losses.

    Since entering the 15th year of Showa, it seems that there is some bad news everywhere, and nothing makes the base camp happy.

    More importantly, during this period, many divisions returned home and were disbanded, and many troops were annihilated. The losses of the Imperial Japanese Army were shocking.

    Although reinforcements from Japan continue to arrive for the Chinese battlefield, it seems that they still cannot save the decline of the frontline troops!

    ¡° Moreover, the domestic economic situation is deteriorating, and many soldiers are worried about the situation of their families. For a time, cargo ships and cruise ships traveling between China and Japan have become more frequent.

    Regarding this war, there were also disagreements among the Japanese high-level officials at this time. The vast majority of the officers were still so fanatical, still clamoring that the Japanese Empire was on board and the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible.

    Even the actual leader of the base camp, Prince Kanin Giyazaihito, claimed that the defeat of the Japanese army was just an accident and was caused by Shun Tada's stupid command. The decline could be reversed by changing the commander!

    However, a large number of politicians have doubts about the base camp's proposal. Politicians do not understand the enthusiasm of soldiers, and soldiers do not understand the operation of the economy. Therefore, the vast majority of Japanese officers and soldiers do not know how far the domestic economy has declined. They just feel  The living standards of the people have dropped a lot.

    With the disastrous military defeat, economic recession and panic caused by the unsatisfactory war, some Japanese politicians and civil anti-war forces openly raised the banner of stopping the war. For a time, Japan's domestic political arena was turbulent and unpredictable!

    There has actually been debate in Japan about where this war will eventually go. However, because the Japanese army has repeatedly won on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese people were fascinated by the glorious results in front of them. Some anti-war people reminded and  Suggestions fell on deaf ears and no one cared.

    At the same time, Japan¡¯s domestic conflicts are also covered up by its continuous victories, and its ever-expanding ambitions have completely lost the Japanese.

    But they never thought that one day the frontline troops would be defeated by the Chinese, and they would be defeated so miserably.

    The military suffered a disastrous defeat, and the economy also suffered a substantial setback. The originally hidden contradictions and differences within the Japanese government were once again detonated!

    This time, even if the emperor came forward, he could not make the two factions compromise, but instead brought the conflict to the table.

    As the situation on the front line continues to be reported to the country, one bad news after another forced the Japanese military leaders to put aside their disputes and sit down together to consider a heavy and serious issue - where will this war eventually go?

    Regarding the final direction of the war provoked by the Japanese army, the soldiers are very clear because it was clearly stated in the mainland policy formulated a few years ago.

    ??The mainland policy is also called the mainland economic policy in Japan. It is an external expansion policy based on Japan's "unwilling to be an island country" and is based on using war means to invade and annex neighboring mainland countries such as China and North Korea.

    After the Meiji Restoration, Japanese capitalism developed rapidly. Due to the intertwining of various reasons, it embarked on the path of militarism, which was extremely expansionary and predatory, so the mainland policy came into being.

    After 20 years of preparation and development, Japan¡¯s mainland policy matured in the 1880s and was implemented during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894.  Its origin, maturity, and implementation took more than 30 years, and it has been Japan's highest national policy for a long time in modern times.

    According to the guidelines of mainland policy, the ultimate strategic purpose of the Empire of Japan is not limited to a small China. Their ambition is to dominate Asia and conquer the world.

    To this end, they deliberately refined this policy and determined six steps to implement the plan. The first is to annex Taiwan, the second is to annex North Korea, and the third is to annex Northeast China. Currently, these three steps have been completed.

    ?Then the next step is to implement the fourth step, annexing China, and then to dominate Asia and the world!

    Under the guidance of mainland policy, Japan has rapidly moved in the direction of militarization.development, making the expansion of armaments a top priority and top priority.

    In fact, as early as after the Japanese Prime Minister Toyoda Hideyoshi initially unified Japan, he launched two wars of aggression against Korea in 1592 and 1597, respectively, but they both failed in the end.

    At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, the "overseas heroic flight theory" appeared. The so-called overseas heroic flight theory refers to the theoretical thoughts of Japanese Confucianists, Chinese scholars and foreign scholars at that time who concentrated on external expansion from different angles. The spearhead was:  China and North Korea at that time.

    On July 25, 1927, Tanaka Giichi proposed an aggressive policy that was extremely rare and explicit in world history, which was the infamous "Tanaka Memorial". The main content of this Japanese secret document at the time was to elaborate on the invasion of China.  specific guidelines and policies.

    The "Tanaka Memorial" proposed that Japan "should develop sources of wealth in order to cultivate the lasting prosperity of the empire." To this end, Japan must do everything possible to obtain land commercial lease rights, railway construction rights, mineral rights, forest rights, foreign trade, shipping, and finance in Northeast China.  rights, etc.; and the Japanese can freely enter and exit the Northeast; set up Japanese political, financial, and military advisors and instructors; vigorously reward Korean immigrants; send soldiers to sneak into Mongolia to control the old princes, etc.

    ??Even in order to manage the affairs of Northeast China, the Japanese government has to establish a colonial ministry, which is also the Ministry of Colonization.  In order to control the Northeast, Japan plans to quickly build several railways with strategic value "for military purposes" to connect the Northeast with North Korea and strengthen the economic plunder of my country's Northeast.

    In 1929, the world economic crisis broke out, and the United States and Europe suddenly fell back for decades. Japan's economy also suffered a heavy blow.

    From 1929 to 1932, the world was in turmoil, but China's economic main body was mainly a small farmer economy and was not greatly affected.

    Out of economic and territorial needs, Japan brazenly invaded the three northeastern provinces.

    Zhang Zuolin, the Northeastern warlord who Japan once had high hopes for, did not listen to the Japanese's instructions. The Kwantung Army formulated a conspiracy plan to kill Zhang Zuolin and occupy the Northeast. In 1928, in Huanggutun near Shenyang, Fengtian, the Japanese planned to blow up a generation of heroes.  Zhang Zuolin.

    Thereafter, from 1928 to 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army actively planned, accumulated strength, and decided to use force to occupy Northeast China in one fell swoop. On September 18, 1931, Japan finally created the "September 18th Incident" that shocked the world.

    The "September 18th Incident" greatly stimulated Japan's long-awaited ambitions and began a rapid and large-scale military expansion.

    From 1931 to 1936, Japan's official military orders amounted to 7 billion yen, and the profits of the top ten private military supply companies such as Mitsubishi, Kawasaki, Uraga Ship Canal, and Nissan increased by an average of 48%. Japan called it the military supply boom.  .

    But behind the surface military boom is the danger of drinking poison to quench thirst, because although the military industry stimulates production, its products can only be consumed in wars, not people's lives.  At that time, the average Tokyo citizen's minimum living standard expenditure was 109.2 yen per person per year.  Rural life is poorer.

    Since Japan¡¯s national strategy is to occupy and conquer with military strength, it maintains a huge Imperial Army and Imperial Fleet, as well as various land and sea air forces, and it is difficult to sustain it economically for a long time.

    Although Japan forced the Kuomintang government to make humiliating concessions on the autonomy of the five provinces of North China, their target was not just North China, but the entire China and Asia.

    Coupled with Japan's contempt for China's military power, Japan brazenly launched the "Marco Bridge Incident", and Japan thus attempted to conquer China within a few months.

    So over the years, Japan has been following this policy and has also completed the first three small goals and is moving towards the fourth small goal at a high speed.

    However, what the Japanese high-level officials did not expect was that the fourth small goal would turn out to be a mud pit!

    It was originally planned to destroy China in three months, but now it has been fighting for three full years, but it still failed to make the Chinese government surrender. On the contrary, Japan itself was almost unable to support itself. War and peace were once again put on the table by Japanese high-level officials.  !  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
