Japanese military immigrants

Since the September 18th Incident broke out in 193 1, after fourteen years of bloody war of resistance, Japan was finally driven out of the country at the cost of more than 35 million casualties, which could not be separated from the help of Americans. Without American assistance, I believe we will have to pay more casualties to win the final victory. Why do you say that? Because the strength gap between China and Japan is too big. How big is it? We can look at several sets of data roughly.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan's annual steel output had exceeded 6 million tons, while China only had 50,000 tons, which was not as good as Japan's. In terms of the navy, Japan has a total tonnage of various warships above 1 10,000 tons, while China only has 1 1 10,000 tons. Japan has the ability to build a 50,000-ton warship, while China has no ability to build a 1 10,000-ton warship at all. In terms of air force, there were more than 0/000 fighter planes/KLOC-0 in Japanese army and more than 600 in China. It seems that the gap is not big, but Japan has the ability to produce nearly 10,000 aircraft a year. During the whole war, Japan produced more than 60,000 fighters of various types, including Zero fighters! And China is zero!

In addition, Japan was one of the few countries in the world that could independently produce guns, tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, rifles and other weapons. During the whole war, Japan * * * produced more than 5,000 tanks, more than 80,000 cannons, more than 60,000 cars, 4 million guns and countless ammunition. According to Japan's highest wartime combat effectiveness, there was an average of one Japanese soldier at that time.

China, by contrast, is very shabby. At that time, China could only produce a small number of guns, with an output of about 300,000, while tanks, artillery, automobiles like airplanes and large-tonnage warships were almost zero, and ammunition was even more scarce. According to the calculation of China's highest fighting capacity of 5.6 million at that time, the soldiers at that time were all several people with a gun, so many of our soldiers could only follow with broadswords and spears.

The backwardness of weapons is the embodiment of such a big national strength gap, and it is also the main reason for the high casualties between the two countries after the war, so War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory was really hard-won.

Why on earth did Japan, which was denounced as a "tiny place" by our people, have such great strength to launch an all-out war of aggression against the vast China?

In fact, during the first Opium War, Japan was also a backward country with closed doors. Later, the Black Ship Incident happened, and the Americans knocked on the Japanese door, which also led to the end of the Tokugawa tokugawa era era. By the Second Opium War, the succeeding Emperor Meiji gradually realized the importance of reform, so under his leadership, Japan began the Meiji Restoration and embarked on the road of constitutional monarchy in an all-round way. At that time, Japan wanted to develop into a world-class country. The most direct and quick way is to further strengthen itself by launching a foreign war to plunder other countries' resources, so the decadent and ignorant Qing Dynasty became the first goal of the Japanese.

The Japanese began to prepare for war, and Emperor Meiji took the lead in reducing living expenses and increasing military spending for the navy. Finally, the Japanese won the Sino-Japanese War with all their eggs in one basket. Through this war, the Japanese obtained more than 200 million taels of silver compensation from the Qing government. The Japanese have never seen so much money, which is the sum of Japan's fiscal revenue in the past few years. It is this money that has put Japan on the road of rapid development.

The Japanese used this money to develop armaments, defeated Russia in 1905, seized all the rights of Russia in the northeast of China, and established the "Nanman Railway Co., Ltd." in the northeast of China to seize the mineral resources in the northeast of China and control Manchuria Railway. Northeast China is the "holy land" that Japan dreams of. There are iron ore and coal resources that the Japanese yearn for, which are the necessary resources to wage war and the most scarce resources in Japan.

Later, Japan sent troops to the northeast and immigrated. Their purpose is obviously to assimilate the Northeast and try to make it a Japanese colony. However, they drove out the Russians, but they couldn't drive out the people of China. To the Japanese's surprise, there was a Zhang in the northeast, and Zhang firmly controlled the situation in the northeast, so the Japanese murdered Zhang, and then September 18th broke out, and the northeast completely fell.

After the fall of Northeast China, the Manchuria Railway, which was established that year, really came in handy. In name, Manchuria Railway is engaged in railway, aviation and other businesses, but in fact, Manchuria Railway is also responsible for the development and smelting of mineral resources in Northeast China and Shandong, including coal, iron ore, lead ore, gold and other rare metals, which are indispensable for Japan to launch and maintain the war. It is impossible to investigate how many resources the Japanese army plundered in Northeast China.

Later, the Japanese army entered Shanhaiguan and invaded Shanxi, which is a big coal province, so the Japanese army established the "Shanxi Industrial Society" there. The purpose of establishing this society is to find materials including coal in Shanxi to supply the Japanese army. The president of Shanxi Industry Association is Daisaku Kawamoto, who was the chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army and was also the culprit in planning the Huanggutun incident.

Every time Japan captures an area in Manchuria and Shanxi Industry Association in Shanxi, it will set up an organization similar to this one to search for the material resources in the occupied area. Later, Japan invaded Southeast Asia in order to obtain oil resources there, because Japan didn't find oil in China, which is also our luck.

Therefore, the reason why Japan, which lacks resources, was able to have such a strong military strength in those years was mainly developed by plunder, in addition to its national characteristics.
