Chapter 1082
The Kwantung Army was established in 1919 and has a history of more than ten years.
As an army established on the land of the Celestial Empire, the goal of the Kwantung Army is very clear, that is, to conquer the Celestial Empire!
According to the ambition of the Foot Basin, they will first conquer the Korean Peninsula, and then use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard to conquer the Celestial Empire.
When conquering the Celestial Empire, the Foot Basin people concluded based on the foreign regimes that successfully entered the Celestial Empire in history:
If you want to conquer the Celestial Empire, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia.
Therefore, they established the Kwantung Army and set their sights on the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire.
They plan to conquer the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire, and then manage it well, and build it into a heavy industry and densely populated area outside the Foot Basin, and then rely on the population and industrial strength here to nibble southward step by step, swallowing up the Celestial Empire bit by bit!
Historically, this strategy of the Foot Basin people was actually very successful.
Although the September 18th Incident in 1931 was a lone act of the young army, and military action was launched in advance, the non-resistance policy of the Celestial Empire made the foot basin taste the sweetness, so it unceremoniously annexed all three northeastern provinces of the Celestial Empire and began to develop and immigrate here.
By the end of the war in 1945, during the long rule of fourteen years, the foot basin had immigrated millions of people to the Northeast and established a large number of factories here.
After annexing the Northeast, the foot basin’s army began to erode the interior of the Great Wall. From the battles in Chahar and Rehe in 1932 to the establishment of the North China Autonomous Region in 1935, the foot basin successfully used its own national strength and the situation of warlords fighting in the Celestial Empire to successfully erode a large amount of land in the Celestial Empire.
If it were not for the fact that the lone action of the young army eventually got out of control and led to the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, according to the foot basin’s step-by-step erosion progress, the entire North China and even the entire North would fall!
In this series of actions, the Kwantung Army always played the role of ballast!
When the foot basin was developing and constructing the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire and carrying out large-scale immigration, the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire actually became the second most important region of the foot basin after the mainland.
The existence of this place is related to the foot basin’s plan to conquer the Celestial Empire, and it is also related to the food supply of tens of millions of people in the foot basin.
After all, the small land of the foot basin is difficult to feed so many people, especially when a large number of young people were recruited for war, and there were even fewer people farming at home, and the grain output naturally dropped significantly!
In this case, the vast plains and fertile black soil in the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire, plus tens of millions of Celestial Empire people in the occupied area who could serve as labor slaves, made it possible for the foot basin to collect food from the Celestial Empire, and even recruit Celestial Empire workers to work in factories, further liberating the young and middle-aged labor force of the foot basin, and then putting all these labor forces into the army, making the foot basin’s military strength even stronger!
In this process, the foot basin’s dependence on the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire became deeper and deeper. The factories, labor and grain output in the northeastern region became more and more important to the foot basin, and such an important place was surrounded on three sides by the bear!
This made the people of Jiaoben worried about the safety here. They were very worried that one day the Mao Xiong people would suddenly launch an attack on the Northeast region and easily take away the results of their hard work for several years.
This worry became more serious after the Nomonhan conflict broke out between the two sides!
In the Battle of Nomonhan, the strength of the Soviet armored forces left a deep impression on the Japanese army. Although the Japanese casualties in this battle were less than those of the Soviet army, the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat. The Japanese army was deeply afraid of the Soviet army’s strong strength. Not only did they completely dispel the plan to attack Mao Xiong, they were also very worried that Mao Xiong would attack them!
Therefore, Jiaoben continued to strengthen the strength of the Kwantung Army, making the Kwantung Army gradually become the most powerful military force in Jiaoben in the Celestial Empire. However,
Mao Xiong has never launched an attack on Jiaoben, resulting in the Kwantung Army, which the Jiaoben people have worked hard to build, becoming a spectator for most of the time!
They dare not transfer these troops to the Celestial Empire battlefield to support other friendly forces, and they cannot actively attack Mao Xiong to crush Mao Xiong’s threat to the Northeast region.
As a result, they could only constantly strengthen the strength of the Kwantung Army, passively defend, and form a confrontation with the Far East Front of the Mao Bear.
Influenced by the heavy troops deployed by the foot basin in the Northeast, the Mao Bear was also worried that the foot basin people would launch an attack on themselves in the Far East, so they had to send more troops to the Far East. Even at the most intense time of the Soviet-German War, the Mao Bear’s troops in the Far East were not withdrawn. If this army did not leave, the Japanese army would only feel a greater threat, and they would not dare to mobilize the Kwantung Army!
As a result, this mutual suspicion between the two sides led to a more tense relationship between the two sides, and they dared not withdraw their troops easily!
As a result, the Kwantung Army basically had no outstanding performance in the war, and it can be said that no value was reflected at all.
Even after the Mao Bear sent troops in 1945, the Kwantung Army was bloodbathed by its old rival, the Soviet Army.
Facts have proved that they are not opponents of the Soviet Army at all. It took only three months for the Mao Bear to break through the defense line that the Kwantung Army had worked hard for more than ten years, and annihilated the Kwantung Army, completely shattering the last fantasy of the foot basin!
The situation in this time and space is actually not much different from that in history. Although the Third Reich and the Russian Bear have not fought in Eastern Europe, the coalition forces of European countries are fighting fiercely with the Russian Bear. In this case, the foot basin people originally thought that the Russian Bear would withdraw its troops from the Far East.
If the Russian Bear withdraws its troops, they can breathe a sigh of relief, and even consider taking advantage of the Russian Bear.
But the Russian Bear is very persistent and has never withdrawn its troops. This has led to the Japanese army not daring to mobilize the Kwantung Army easily. The Kwantung Army fell into the same embarrassing situation as in history, always wandering outside the battlefield and becoming a role of watching the show!
Wasting such a powerful army and not being able to use it is a very painful thing for the foot basin.
Therefore, the top leaders of the foot basin have thought about mobilizing the Kwantung Army more than once, but they have never dared to do so.
