Chapter 212: Post-War Disposition


After the Sino-Japanese Guichou War, Japan was completely crippled.

First of all, the army, 4 divisions, 4 brigades and several garrison groups were completely wiped out, and 7 divisions were beaten to pieces.

In addition to the casualties suffered in several days of strategic bombing and shore bombardment, 100,000 people were killed in action.

The number of people has exceeded 220,000, with more than 400,000 wounded, and more than 100,000 prisoners.

Then there is the navy.

The combined fleet has been completely lost.

The combat ships with a total tonnage of 560,000 tons are now less than 30,000 tons.

The largest is the 1,450-ton first-class gunboat "Yodo".

Others were sunk or captured in the Battle of Zhoushan and the Battle of Diaoyu Islands, and in subsequent battles.

Even the Etajima Naval Academy was turned into a barbecue.

More than 37,000 naval officers and soldiers were killed and more than 40,000 wounded.

There were also civilian casualties.

In this Guichou War, the death toll of Japanese civilians exceeded 180,000, and more than 500,000 others were injured.

These casualties were mainly caused during strategic bombing and shore bombardment, and some were casualties caused by civilians who provided services to the Japanese army during combat.

Although the Chinese army did not deliberately target civilian targets, there were many civilians working in various factories, warehouses and other facilities, as well as those serving the Japanese army.

Bombs and artillery shells did not have eyes, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Wen Desi was not the kind of Holy Mother who "requires not to touch common people at all", so she just expressed regret for this.

In fact, Mr.

Wen feels that he has exercised great restraint.

If it had been done by another angry youth, how could it be called a war unless millions of Japanese civilians died?

Of course, another reason is that China has risen too fast in this dimension.

Japan has not yet had the opportunity or ability to commit many heinous crimes, and the two countries have not yet forged an irresolvable feud like in the original time and space.

During the strategic bombing and shore bombing operations that lasted for several days, Japan's industry was severely damaged.

More than 40% of the heavy industry production capacity, 30% of the light industry production capacity were destroyed, and countless facilities and materials were burned and bombed. .

Well, even under Mr.

Wen's restraint and not bombing residential and commercial areas, Japan's losses were still so great that they wanted to cry.

According to preliminary statistics, this war caused at least 6 billion yen in direct economic losses to Japan.

The national strength accumulated since the Meiji Restoration was severely damaged.

It was like working hard for more than ten years and returning to the pre-Meiji era overnight.

Japan, which was originally considered the pinnacle of the second-tier powers, was suddenly pulled back to its original shape.

If it weren't for the fact that the foundation was still there and there was strong support, plus the navy still had several battleships and battlecruisers that had not returned home or were under construction, I would have lost its status as a great power.

Compared with Japan's heavy losses of more than 440,000 deaths and nearly one million injuries, China's losses were much smaller.

Combined, the army and navy had more than 7,300 killed and nearly 30,000 injured.

These casualties were mainly caused in street fighting in Lushun, Taipei and Seoul.

Casualties caused in street fighting accounted for more than 60% of the total casualties.

It must be admitted that although the equipment and tactics of the Japanese army are not as good as those of the Chinese army, they are extremely tenacious.

Under conditions such as street fighting, they have great restrictions on technical equipment and tactics, so they caused a lot of trouble for China.

For this reason, the Chinese army also strengthened its training in street fighting after the war and began to develop special equipment for street fighting.

Nearly 1,000 Chinese civilians died and more than 6,000 were injured.

These casualties are mainly concentrated in Taiwan and the Kanto Leased Territories.

These areas are war zones, and there is nothing that can be done if they are affected.

Civilian casualties in other parts of the mainland were "0".

In addition, more than 80,000 civilians in North Korea were killed and 200,000 injured.

About 700 people died in the Ryukyu region and more than 2,000 were injured.

This battle also gave European and American powers a clearer understanding of China's strength.

There is no doubt that being able to beat Japan to the point of being unable to take care of itself with such a slight loss is the strength that only a first-class power can have.

And this is an upright victory, not relying on sneak attacks or luck.

Although China had been accepted as one of the great powers in the past few years, it was considered second-rate.

The great powers in the world today are also divided into three, six or nine levels.

The super-class one is of course Niu Niu, who is worthy of being the number one brother on earth.

The next first-class powers are the United States, France, Russia, and Germany, and Austria-Hungary is barely considered a quasi-first-class power.

The second-rate powers are Italy, the Ottomans, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands and other countries.

Countries like Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium, and Chile are considered third-rate powers.

It turns out that China is considered the second tier, the same as Japan.

But now, no matter whether the great powers are willing or not, the facts are there, and they have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit that China does have the strength of a first-class power.

Presidential Palace, Wuhan, May 2, 1913, 2754 AD.

Because of the victory over Japan, the State Council announced a seven-day paid holiday on May Day this year, making people across the country happy together.

Today is the second day of the May Day holiday, but Wen Desi is definitely not lying, nor are the important leaders of the central government and the army.

While people across the country are celebrating the holiday today, they also gathered in the Presidential Palace to discuss post-war disposal issues.

"Mr.

Wen, what is your opinion on the handling of North Korea and Ryukyu?"

Premier Zhang Lizheng asked.

"Oh, why are there so many opinions?"

Wen Desi was a little curious.

Zhang Lizheng nodded and said: "Yes, the current main opinions are divided into two categories, and each category has several different opinions on details.

The first category is to allow North Korea and Ryukyu to regain their independence as independent countries, and the second category The first category of opinions is to be directly incorporated into our country, and there are reservations for them to be implemented by the royal family.

There are also those who want to establish a constitutional monarchy, abolish the royal family and implement a republic, and those who want to restore the tribute system, and those who join the scientific socialist alliance led by our country, etc.

The second category of opinions is also implemented in two places.

Different opinions on federalism and provincialism, as well as the establishment of autonomous regions, etc.”

"Well, I don't consider the first category.

We have spent so much money to help them become independent.

Are you kidding me?

I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of Wanli."

Wen Desi said with some displeasure.

I won't do anything stupid."

"Don't forget, the Korean Peninsula has been our country's sacred and indivisible territory since ancient times.

Our Science and Socialist Party is committed to restoring China's ancient homeland.

The four Han counties on the Korean Peninsula are also our homeland," Wen Desi said with a normal expression. .

As for questions such as "Do the four counties of Han include the entire Korean Peninsula?"

, since Mr.

Wen ignored it and no one present was stupid, no one mentioned it at all.

Since Mr.

Wen said that the four counties of Han include the entire Korean Peninsula, then it must be like this As for the slight difference from history, that is normal.

Money deposited in the bank also earns interest.

The four counties of Han Dynasty have been around for 2000 years.

It is also very fair to count the remaining land as interest.

Besides, in those days, the three Koreans in the south were just tribes, not a country at all.

Since they were not a country, they had no human rights, and the territory was not given to them.

The most important thing is that the political power on the Korean Peninsula has always been a vassal of China, and the vassals all joined the suzerain state. , isn’t it very logical and reasonable?

Therefore, the same is true for Ryukyu.

Basically, there are no ignorant people in the government who dare to question Mr.

Wen’s basis.

If there are any blind people in the domestic society who dare to talk nonsense, hehe, I saw the guy sitting next to him doing the "Mona Lisa smile" The man with the eyes is right, he is Comrade Fan Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Minister Fan will make those guys who don’t have eyes regret it forever.

Mines and brick kilns will be waiting for them.

Mr.

Wen, you are so confident Wen Desi continued: "As for the identity after being merged into our country, of course it can only be a provincial system.

There is no need to care about federal or autonomous regions.

Our first-level administrative units in China are only provinces, not provinces.

Don’t cause trouble for yourself with those messy things.”

"Yes, I understand.

I will pass on your instructions."

Zhang Lizheng asked again: "So, what are your opinions on the current administrative structure of the new territory?"

Wen Deji thought for a while and said: "This is my initial idea about the division of administrative regions.

The entire territory of North Korea will be set as one province, called North Korea Province, and Tsushima Island will be assigned to it.

Ryukyu is too small to be established as a province.

It's appropriate.

Let's establish Ryukyu City and assign the Ogasawara Islands to it.

Just merge it into Taiwan Province.

The population of South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands is too sparse to be established as a province.

Let's set it up as a special region directly under the central government at the same level as the city, like the South Pacific Special Region and the Gulf Special Region. .The name is, it’s North Pacific District.”

After solving the problem of dividing the new territorial administrative areas, Chief of General Staff Xin Jie began to introduce the situation of the Korean anti-Japanese armed forces.

Xin Jie turned on the projector and walked to the podium to introduce.

"There are two types of anti-Japanese armed forces in North Korea.

The first type is the anti-Japanese weapons established spontaneously by local Koreans.

The equipment and training level of these people are very poor.

Moreover, their composition is very complex.

Some of the high-status ones include the princes of the former Kingdom of Korea.

There are aristocrats, middle-class landowners and gentry, and there are also pure lower-class civilians.

In addition, there are also officers and soldiers of the former Korean Kingdom Army who are dissatisfied with Japanese rule, and there are even bandits and bandits.

According to our plan, for these people, we only provide some very basic support, mainly some.

Small arms and logistical supplies, as well as intelligence support.”

"The second category is different.

This is an armed force that is completely controlled by us, or at least most of it.

The main leaders and even all the cadres of this type of guerrillas are our people, and they are equipped with political cadres.

Their weapons They are completely standard weapons provided by us, and their equipment and training levels are generally close to the second-line troops of our country's regular army. , some elites can reach the level of front-line troops.

The local personnel of this part of the guerrillas have been screened, and have undergone sufficient political education and brainwashing.

At least the core and backbone personnel are completely inclined to our country.

They are extremely disgusted with the former Kingdom of Korea.

This group of people can be trusted and there will be no adverse effects after the merger.”

"As for the first type of armed forces, in the recent battles, they have basically been used up in the battle against the Japanese army.

We have already grasped the whereabouts of the remaining ones.

If they know the situation, forget it.

If they don't, We can guarantee that they will be eliminated in the shortest possible time.”

Yes, for China, these North Korean anti-Japanese armed forces have now completed their historical mission and can end with honor.

If they know the truth, China will not be stingy with remuneration and bonuses, but if they don’t know the truth and want to change from anti-Japanese armed forces to anti-China armed forces, then go to hell:
