PDLP Chapter 382
Chapter 382
In terms of weapons and equipment, although it’s not as much as I want, it’s still quite a lot.
Nine infantry divisions, two mechanized brigades, and five hundred anti-aircraft machine guns~"
Teacher Li was a little surprised to hear Zeng Jiwen say this.
"They agreed."
Zeng Jiwen nodded and then spoke.
"But there are conditions. They require us to launch a large-scale battle against the Japanese troops in North China by the first half of next year at the latest to lure the Kwantung Army south.
In addition, I promised to recover North China within two to three years and prepare to launch an offensive against the Kwantung Army in the Northeast."
Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Teacher Li looked a little serious.
"Comrade Jiwen, I have no objection to the first part, but can we do the second part?" Teacher Li looked a little worried.
At this time, after reading the contents of the document, Teacher Wang handed the document to Teacher Li. After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, he nodded.
Then he said to Zeng Jiwen.
"Jiwen, be careful, are you planning to default on your debt?"
Hearing this, Zeng Jiwen immediately became unhappy.
"Teacher Wang, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?
Am I that kind of person? " Zeng Jiwen was immediately unhappy.
Hearing this, Teacher Wang smiled and pointed at Zeng Jiwen.
"I don't know what you're thinking, it's just procrastination.
Not to mention next year, if it happens quickly, the Japanese troops in North China will recover and cause trouble for you by the end of the year.
As for what you promised the North, whether it will work out or not is still a matter of debate."
When Zeng Jiwen heard what Teacher Wang said, he smiled and shook his head.
"That's different, since I promised, I will definitely do it.
At least before next year, even if the Japanese army in North China does not take action, we will take action!
As for two or three years later, you wouldn’t be unaware of what I said before, right~”
"Hahaha~you kid!" Teacher Wang couldn't stop laughing.
"You are just writing a blank check to them~"
"That's not necessarily true. If they are willing to continue providing assistance, we can do the same~" Zeng Jiwen said.
After hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Teacher Yang suddenly asked.
"Jiwen, the possibility you mentioned, I guess there are probably several levels."
After hearing Teacher Yang's question, Teacher Wang and Teacher Li also looked at Zeng Jiwen.
"Well, it can almost be said to be 100%~" Zeng Jiwen said to Teacher Yang.
Then he continued to explain.
“The Japanese army is different from us.
They are short of resources and militarism is rampant within them.
Even if they are really driven out of North China by us, their greatest possibility is to negotiate peace with the South.
Then withdraw from North China and let us fight the South.
Their location necessitates the development of their navy, which inevitably conflicts with the army's strategy.
Their conflicts are so huge that they even twist a screw in the wrong direction, not to mention the competition for resources.
Moreover, the army is now divided into two factions, one wanting to march north, the other wanting to occupy China."
"What if they really concentrate their forces and come towards us?" Teacher Li asked worriedly after hearing Zeng Jiwen's words.
Hearing this, Zeng Jiwen shook his head.
“If there hadn’t been the Battle of Wuhan in the south, the Japanese army might have focused their attention on us.
However, after the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the Japanese army could no longer organize such a large-scale battle.
Their resources dictate that they look south as well as north.
At the same time, the navy will not see the army continue to escalate the war.
They can’t afford to be so exhausted.”
Zeng Jiwen said to the three of them.
In fact, it is just as Zeng Jiwen said.
In the original time and space, the army was forcing the cabinet to continue expanding the war in China.
The other side was not to be outdone and was actively looking for trouble towards the north.
Until he was beaten so badly in Nomonhan that his parents didn't recognize him.
As the battlefield in China became deeper and deeper, the Japanese army quickly changed its strategic approach and began to attack and pull all forces in China, intending to use China to control China.
But the navy is unwilling to be lonely.
They had early on turned their attention to Southeast Asia, but due to the threat from the old powers, they did not dare to move south easily for a while.
Until the domestic consumption could no longer be sustained, the little mustache swept across Europe again, and the whole of Southeast Asia became like a tempting cake luring the Japanese army.
According to Zeng Jiwen's estimation, at this time and space, if the Japanese army suffered a heavy loss in North China, they would probably move south even earlier.
After all, no matter how powerful the navy is, his ships cannot come ashore.
North China is not the South, and the gunboats that have been used for daily life on the Yangtze River can still provide assistance.
Moreover, we can’t afford to devote so many resources to launching a major war like the Battle of Wuhan in North China now.
I guess by then, we will first have a friendly match with the South, and then each side will play their own game.
