Chapter 356 Showa Restoration (25)
ps: There have been many questions recently, and I can't answer them one by one, so I put them in the update together.
1. Why not finish writing the iron cross before opening a new book?
I had a long appointment with Qidian and was bound for 5 years. After the Iron Cross 404 editor urged me to post a book, but I continued to update it and prepare a new book, etc., and it was agreed to post a new book on August 15, so I could only post it together;
2. When will the Iron Cross be completed?
It's basically in October.
3. Why doesn’t the new book write about the Iron Cross Cold War?
I am not allowed to write, not to mention that I am not allowed to write in the Cold War, nor am I not allowed to write in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China;
4. Why do Iron Cross always write about Japan? I want to read Germany. I won’t read about Japan anymore/I won’t pay for it anymore
Japan is an indispensable link in the axis, so I can only smile bitterly as to not read it or not pay it to write it. Originally, the income from updates on WeChat was only one-third of the starting point. I continued to write because I didn’t want to disappoint readers. Of course, I also asked for trouble. After the book 404, they opened new books directly.
Although I must follow the principles of maximizing interests and commercialization when writing books full-time, and I cannot be incompatible with readers, and I am no exception, but I still want to say that I hope to write well. I can really follow the principle of maximizing interests. I can actually start a new business after 404. The reason I write in full is because I want to finish the entire grand narrative.
In addition, the Japanese plot is almost over.
Finally, thank you for your support and hope you can continue to support the new book.
"Sir, I just received a telegram that our army has occupied New Caledonia and the enemy has little resistance. It is reported that most of the forces have withdrawn from Australia and New Zealand, and only a small number of the rear troops were captured by our army. The war was not fierce, and our losses were extremely minor."
Hori Teiki nodded slightly: "So, except for the uninhabited islands in the Western Pacific, there are only Australia and New Zealand islands occupied by the enemy?"
"Yes." Oshiki Takijiro asked, "Do you need to make a plan to attack Australia and New Zealand?"
"Australia may not be able to fight, and New Zealand is not that easy to fight. First, evaluate the enemy situation and see how many troops the enemy has."
"The Military Command originally had a rough estimate, believing that Australia has about 200,000 troops and New Zealand has a maximum of 100,000 troops. After emergency mobilization, it can be about doubled. Then the US troops originally stationed in the two places plus the US troops withdrawing from the islands this time are expected to be between 12.15 million." Oshiki Takijiro estimated a number, "The total force is about 70.8 million. Even if it is too much, it will not exceed 1 million. For Australia and New Zealand, which have a total population of less than 10 million, this is almost the mobilization limit."
"So some people think Australia and New Zealand can get out?"
"If you can't get it, at least it won't get it in the short term, and it will be even more troublesome in the long term." Chiaki Matsuda sighed, "New Zealand still has hope to compete for it, and Australia is really too difficult."
The other staff members looked at each other, wondering why this judgment was made. Since it was judged that the enemy had no more than 1 million troops, they would just pile up 1 million troops to fight it. Even if 1 million could not be defeated, and then 1 million would be added. The army now has more than 4 million troops. Besides, with the courage of the emperor, how could it take 2 million people? It is estimated that 500,000 is enough.
Hori Teiki smiled slightly and signaled to Chiaki Matsuda: "Tell everyone the reason why you can't defeat Ao-New Zealand."
"First of all, although Australia is vast in area, its densely populated areas are mainly concentrated in the southeast and the southwestern coastal areas with Melbourne and Sydney as the center. This location is more than 1,000 kilometers farther than the distance from the empire to Hawaii. If you go to New Zealand, you will have to go up 2,000 kilometers further. Supply and logistics rather than troop strength will be the biggest constraints of the war. It is almost the same distance between Germany and South America. With the strength of Germany and the logistics forces of the whole Europe as the guarantee, so far, the forces sent to China and South America are less than 300,000, which shows the difficulty of ensuring supply;
Secondly, from a race perspective, Australia and New Zealand are basically white races. If it is just a general war, it is a pure competition of military forces. But once our army wants to attack its homeland, it may face a situation of full war. We are unlikely to get help from local people. On the other hand, Germany not only has the help of La Plata groups such as Argentina and Uruguay in South America, but also white Europeans and other populations who hope to get rid of American rule. For example, the current pro-Germany Brazilian government, even so, Germany does not dare to attack the United States, which is the same concerns of our attack on Australia and New Zealand;
Again, our troops are now seriously insufficient. On the surface, the army has more than 4 million troops, but the Kwantung Army must prevent Eastern Russia from moving lightly. China** has a Chinese mainland battlefield, and the Indian army is still stabilizing the situation in India. The distribution of the Southern Army's troops has gone from Hawaii, Midway, Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia to Mariana, and the Philippines. The troops are extremely dispersed. If it is not the power of the joint fleet to deter and control the relevant sea areas, it is purely the risk of each defeat. If there is no joint fleet, even if the Southern Army is increased to 1 million people is not enough!
What's the purpose of conquering so many territories in the end? Just for the good territory? Don't worry about finance? Don't worry about the economy? Don't worry about the people? Just to achieve Your Majesty's ambition to expand territory? I'm awesome to achieve the superiors? The superior's reputation is unprecedented in fighting. How can I wait?"
The last post was heard by the Colonel General Matsuda, who was dumbfounded and thought that General Matsuda, who was worthy of being a "non-national", would be the only way to say this. But what is strange is that the chief is not angry at all. Does the chief think so too?

"It's so difficult for the Emperor to share the benefits of so much land. The list of the second batch of military merits and fields in the Navy has been announced, and the Army has not even had any documents or plans."
When talking about this, the staff members were all indignant: "The Army is too much!"
"Not only the army is too much, but the chaebols are even more too much. The superior said that in order to understand the national finances, he took the initiative to reduce the navy's military expenditure by 15%. The chaebols said that they would make up for their losses by savings, saying that the navy's military merits were robbing their things and they wanted to compensate."
"Nonsense, every inch of land was seized by soldiers of the army and the navy. What's the matter with Guan Caibo? Even if they made some materials and arms, they were purchased by the people with taxes. They had already made a lot of money and had the face to make compensation?"
"Send a telegram to Ozawa, the main force of the joint fleet can be divided. The spoils are counted and the relevant casualties are transported. The military merits are counted quickly. On July 20, the list of the third batch of military merits and field awards must be announced. At the same time, families prepared on the first batch of field awards can be shipped from the local area." Horitiki thought for a while and added, "Send a telegram to the Southern Army in my personal name. This time, the Solomon Islands were occupied. The New Caledonian front line restrained a batch of army forces. If the base camp wants to draw troops, it is recommended that they postpone or place the last batch and wait until the Solomon Islands are delivered before proceeding."
The first batch of lists are officers and soldiers who died; the second batch of lists are officers and soldiers who are disabled; the third batch of lists involve active-duty officers and soldiers, but there are many active-duty personnel, so the Navy Province intends to announce them one after another. The third batch of lists are officers and soldiers who are active-duty but have been determined to retire, including those who are age-limited to retire (mainly ordinary soldiers over 35 years old, and sergeants over 40 years old, excluding officers). They are not suitable for continuing to fight physically or mentally. They have already died or disabled brothers and are now the only sons in the family, or although they have other brothers and sisters, they have special circumstances that require care and are unable to continue to serve.
"Please ask the military command to deploy the new island defense and garrisoning plan, pay special attention to the aviation force in New Caledonia, which is the frontline for Australia and New Zealand."
"clear."
After everyone retreated, Chiaki Matsuda asked, "Sir, do you really want to hand over Solomon to the Germans?"
"Take some of it, to be honest, it doesn't make sense for the Germans to have all the Solomon Islands. If we do not have control over the Solomon Islands, especially the islands on the east side, we will weaken our control over the forward base. After all, Samoa will also be handed over to Germany. If the supply line is not smooth, it will be unfavorable for the subsequent deployment of troops." Horitiki smiled bitterly, "Whether to hand over the islands is not only an economic problem, but also a political problem. I bet that Australia and New Zealand must be in contact with the Germans, and maybe it is a bridge built by the British."
Tsukahara Misuzo, who had not spoken much, interrupted at this time: "If I really can't take Australia, I personally do not oppose German control or pass through the British control, but Germany must ensure that New Zealand belongs to us."
"I also have this idea, and I can give New Zealanders some preferential conditions. All the residents and movable movable property are moved to Australia. Other real estate, fields, factories and infrastructure must be left to us intact. As a transaction, we can ensure Australia's neutrality and at the same time, the captive Australian and New Zealand officers and soldiers will be repatriated immediately!"
"Do you want to expand the discussion at the base camp?"
"Discussion? Let's talk about it first when they have finished discussing the military expenditure plan for reducing the army." Horitiki sarcastically said, "They can't care about these things now. Maybe they will refuse to disarmament on the excuse of attacking Australia and New Zealand. Let's talk to Cole first, and then go to the meeting after the negotiation is completed!"
