Chapter 956: Concealing Evil Intentions
After all, although Britain and France worked hard to equip the Japanese army, the equipment level of the Japanese army was still at the bottom of the entire Western Front. Using the French's worst infantry weapons, and not in enough numbers, there was no one left.
After the war, the British also made a special assessment of the combat level of the Japanese army. They believed that the basic quality and fighting will of the Japanese army's infantry were still very good. Apart from anything else, a group of people simply hit the German machine guns and tanks. The courage of British soldiers is not what British soldiers can have... In the beginning, the brave French could only do the first thing. If they encountered tanks, their morale would collapse without anti-armor weapons, but Japan was different! The British were very impressed by the sight of tanks using human flesh as cannonballs.
In short, the British feel that perhaps the top brass of the Japanese army are lacking in strategy and tactics, but the Japanese army is still very good as cannon fodder, and it is large in quantity and sufficient in management... As for the command issue? As an ally, the British could provide the Japanese with an officer corps to assist in their guidance. that is it!
"We can temporarily withdraw your troops with heavy casualties from the front, and then conduct retraining and reorganization. I believe that after a period of training and obtaining new equipment, the Japanese Army's combat effectiveness will definitely develop significantly. ." Colonel Wellington said. According to the agreement, the third division was the most severely damaged, so it needed to come down for repairs. The Second Division lost a large number of artillery, and according to British standards, it could be repaired. Of course, if it is your own troops, you can merge the numbers, but if this method is used on the allies, it will be very unethical...
Colonel Wellington came here just to show off, and then convey the intentions of the Allied leaders. Just go through the motions and then leave in the middle of the meeting. This also conforms to the Japanese idea that some things should be said by oneself and cannot be told to outsiders!
"Our army is not strong enough. They are both armies. Why is there such a big gap between the Russians and the Germans?" After the British left, Touichi Terauchi sighed.
"Yes, we need to fundamentally change the army. Otherwise, when we face Western powers again, we will always be a little weak, right?" Akiyama Yoshiko said.
"Are you talking about the Americans? The combat effectiveness of the Americans is as unworthy of mention as it was ten years ago. Didn't the Navy just beat the American fleet again?" Takao Suzuki said curiously.
"Haha, our enemy is not just the Americans. That enemy just fought with us 8 years ago. There can only be one overlord in East Asia, and that is us. If the Americans hand over the navy, then the Russians will Leave it to us!" Akiyama Haogu said meaningfully.
"But we are allies after all!" Terauchi said with some surprise. As a former enemy, Terauchi had absolutely no favorable impression of the Russians. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese no longer had any respect for this big European country. It’s more of a disdain! but,
Even so, Juichi Terauchi never thought that Akiyama Yoshiko would still have deep hostility towards the Russians!
"Friends are only temporary, not forever. There are only interests forever. The Far East is still too small to accommodate two big countries. If Japan really wants to become the overlord of the Far East, then the Americans cannot come in, and the Russians also need to get out. go out!"
"Okay, this issue is not something you can discuss now. When you get to my position, you will naturally understand what it means. I alone bear all the responsibilities in this war. What you need to do now What I want is to learn from the war experience of the powerful Western European countries. I hope that in the next battle with the Germans, we can win, otherwise, we will settle old and new accounts together!" Although Akiyama's words were calm, they were full of emotion. Unable to be dignified, the three people sitting there couldn't help but tremble.
"I still have very important things to do, so let's break up the meeting now." After finishing speaking, Akiyama Yoshiko waved his hand to indicate that you can leave. Then, before others could leave, Akiyama Yoshiko walked out of the venue first, and then Leaving the three of them with a long back! Akiyama Haogu is very busy today, really busy! What do three division commanders count? The person he wants to meet determines the future of the Japanese Army and even the Japanese Empire!
"Akiyama-kun must be very busy recently, right?" A slightly joking voice came after Akiyama Haogu opened the door to the house. A somewhat fanciful person said after seeing Qiu Shan's good old age.
"That's natural. After defeating the battle, can you stop being busy? In this battle, I realized that there is a huge gap between us and the world's first-class army. At most, we can only compete with the Russians. Akashi-kun, what do you think? How about it?" Akiyama Haogu was not angry because of the other party's ridicule. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Competing with the Russians? Believe me, if the Russians win this time, then when they turn around again, we will not be able to fight them at all. I served as a military attaché in Russia, and I have no idea about this The country’s understanding is much deeper than yours. The warlikeness and expansion ambition in the bones of their nation are beyond our imagination, and the resilience and perseverance are also amazing! If we cannot take advantage of his unprecedented weakness to hit him hard, Then the empire will never sleep peacefully!" Akashi Genjiro said.
"Do you have any ideas?" Akiyama Yoshiko was not at all offended by the other party's attitude. He even poured twice as much wine for the latter himself. The 1890 Bordeaux wine was specially provided to senior generals.
"There is no doubt that the Russian superstructure is in decay, and in this world-wide war, such a superstructure cannot survive at all. The Russian government will inevitably collapse, and on the ruins of this behemoth, a new The empire will rise, and it will be full of vitality, more terrifying than the clay-footed giant of the Nomanov dynasty! I have met their leader, and he is a very talented and capable man! But one thing will not change, and that is the right to The obsession of Russia to become a powerful country looking at both Western Europe and the Far East! Therefore, we must severely weaken our opponents when Tsarist Russia collapses and the new empire has not yet risen!" Akashi Genjiro said.
"Are you talking about Mr. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and his party?" Akiyama asked.
"Yes, it's them. Their brand-new ideas will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in this sluggish country, and it's not good news for us!" Akashi Genjiro said.
