Chapter 357 Showa Restoration (26)
It is obvious that the Army is not at ease with formulating a plan, which is obviously wronged by the top leaders of the Army's central leadership, but the Army's plan does have a problem of difficult labor. There are multiple reasons here:
First, the army involves much more troops than the navy, and the total number of casualties in the war in the past decade alone may exceed the total number of navy;
Secondly, the army has a much longer age. The Navy has strictly calculated after the Pearl Harbor Incident, and no other parts were included in the early days. According to the Kwantung Army, it must be traced from 1931 and according to the Chinese dispatched army, it must be traced from 1937. However, Ishihara Kaner has not yet denied that he himself was the beneficiary of the Manchurian Incident, and he cannot do what he has turned against him now;
The third thing involves the distribution of interests. The military merits of the Southern Army and the Indian Army are easy to calculate. The problem of China** comes. According to their statement, the withdrawal from the Chinese battlefield is to cooperate with other strategic directions. China** has made sacrifices. When calculating military merits, they must not ignore their previous contributions. The Kwantung Army said that although they did not fight much, they have made contributions to many years of operation and resistance to Russia. The specific calculation depends on the center. The subtext is that if they are not good, don’t blame them for turning over the table. Then the abolition of the general army also complained that we were reorganized. Now we have to distribute the spoils and kicked us away and said that it was to save military expenses. Are you cheating?
Fourthly, it is due to other factors. The Navy moved the cheese of the chaebols during the distribution process, so they are now staring at the Army very tightly and watching it tightly. The so-called military compensation for the abolition is not fabricated out of thin air, but there are indeed statements. There are even other statements: "The casualties and soldiers, the soldiers who have made merits have pensions and rewards. Why do you have to give me military merits again? Isn't this a mess?" Is there any reason for this sentence? Of course, there is, because the Japanese government has paid a sum, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't give it. But now that the Navy has started, if the Army does not give it, the comparison and contrast will be too obvious, and it will not be explained in any way.
At the base camp meeting, the Army repeatedly complained that the Navy was independent and messed up the situation. The Navy retorted that we only calculated the accounts of the past four years. The previous one-size-fits-all cut off. Who asked you to find out the old accounts more than ten years ago? If all the accounts are calculated based on your old accounts, the total number of people involved in the Army is as high as 6 million, how could it be allocated? Unless all the indigenous residents of the South Ocean were killed and replaced with Japanese immigrants, how many more people would die like this? If 6 million families immigrated, how many people would be left in the local area?
So the army's military merits were stuck, and they quarreled every day. In addition, the issue of disarmament and the issue of military dispatch could not be handled well. It was really quarrels all the time.
Of course, this was intentional by Hori Teiki. At this time, the military was released and the list of land granted by the navy was announced in batches, which was to make the army chaotic and quarrel with the military town, the localities and the localities, and the staff in the rear quarrel with the front-line commanders. As long as the army cannot form a joint force, the navy can control the situation and will not obstruct the reform.
Yamamoto Iroru has different ideas from Hori Teiki in this regard. He believes that the war has not yet won, so he cannot mess up himself first. This is the way to cause disaster. In addition to Yamamoto, there are a few bureaucrats in the Navy Province who also think so. This group of people is still obsessed with the dream of attacking Australia and New Zealand and attacking the United States.
Hori Teiki didn't want to attack Australia, nor did he want to attack the United States. He was now thinking about peace talks as soon as possible. He knew that the Army Malu would definitely refuse to make peace when he had the advantage, and could not wait for the lesson that had not been delayed. He could only come up with this worst and let them get into chaos first. If they were in chaos, they would break the original balance and could not form a joint force.
His purpose was soon achieved. Now the situation of unity between land and sea cannot be restored. With the progress of disarmament and the deployment of troops, the weak balance within the army was also broken. Ishihara Kanir hated this. Unfortunately, there was no way Hori Teiki asked him to support the reform and he refused to express his opinion, and even expressed his opposition. Then we cannot blame the Navy for causing you to cause trouble to prevent you from taking action to deal with other things.
In fact, Hori Teiki's design ideas are very clear:
First, we must bring Germany to peace with the United States, and we must not fight against the United States alone;
Second, admit that Germany directly or indirectly controls Australia in exchange for Japan controlling New Zealand only;
Third, the Hawaiian Islands are redeemed by the Americans, and the obstacles to Japan-US peace talks are eliminated. With this fund in hand, domestic financial problems can basically be solved;
Fourth, give the islands and other territories in the Pacific to the United Kingdom, France and Germany in Europe to pay off the arms debts owed to Germany;
Fifth, deter the Russians and tell them not to act rashly. It is amazing that they occupy the Kamchatka Peninsula. Never think about fighting with Russia to death, let alone occupy Siberia;
Sixth, military merits are given to the fields, and strive to migrate from China to Southeast Asia and India within 20 years. On the one hand, it reduces the domestic economic burden and strengthens the penetration of the currently occupied areas;
Seventh, all occupied colonies support local governments, establish a special tribute system, normalize relations with China as much as possible (including giving China the status of a permanent member of the United Nations and withdrawing troops in China), form an Asian Union with Japan as the core, and compete with the European Union and North American Union for international affairs in the future;
Eighth, effectively promote reform and build Japan into a modern country. The British and American freedom and democracy are not learned and are not suitable for Japan, but the German system can be learned.
There are not many people who truly understand these conditions. In addition to the basic recognition of the first article, there are all differences behind them, including: Hirohito and some senior army leaders want Australia; they want to continue to control Hawaii to curb the United States; they do not want European forces to continue to penetrate the Pacific and the Far East, and they can delay debts to Germany, and they can depend on them. It is necessary to go north. How can China's problem be handled like this? Then wasn't it a waste of time? In short, there are a lot of opposition opinions. Fortunately, although there are very few people who agree with the whole, there are even fewer people who oppose the whole, and the opposition still undermines each other, so Hori Teiki did not become the target of public criticism.
Horikiri originally hoped that Hirohito could stand up and support his strategy. The soldiers agreed to the reform, but unexpectedly, Hirohito not only did not support him, but was dissatisfied with his behavior, forcing Horikiri to move forward by himself, and even shouted the slogan "Whoever opposes the reform, I opposes whoever I opposes." There is only one real senior soulmate, that is, Matsuda Chiaki who followed all day long. Even Ito Kazuichi, who was determined to follow the end, also held a reserved position on certain terms. As for his old friend Iroko Yamamoto, who had been opposing it for many years, there were more opinions.
In any case, as a navy leader, Hori Teki first united the navy and successfully eliminated the factional struggles of the navy. This is recognized by the navy. As for the great achievements, it is unprecedented. Hori Teki's love for the navy can be seen from the factional mercy in Europe and the current behavior of granting fields. Based on this condition, his prestige and control ability were stronger than during the Tianzhuan period.
Seeing the army's red deer slamming like headless flies, the navy was full of gratitude. Fortunately, there were commanders. If there were no commanders, the navy and the empire would not be in chaos.
