Great Zhou Republic, South Zhili, Xuzhou.The 10th day of the first month of the 12th year of the Republic.

Because when last winter came, the Republic Senate and the executive government came south, which restored the vitality of this magnificent fortress-type city.

The streets of Xuzhou have become as bustling as before the arrival of the big water.Merchants from Kaifeng Province or Tianjin City moved in succession on the street.The 15th of January has not yet arrived, and it is theoretically still an annual festival.Therefore, people walking on the street are wearing decent clothes, and their faces are more or less festive.

Occasionally, horses pass through the streets, and the riders on the horse team have red flags on their backs, and their toes are high.The horses hung bells around their necks, and the jingling as they moved, striking.Everyone knows that this is the rush of the military drivers of the big week, and the exchange conveys important news.Riding on horseback, are serving knights, there are estates at home!

These horses are from the city of Kyoto, Haizhou, bringing news from the sea.

This is also the reason why the Senate and the executive government of the Republic go south to Xuzhou in winter.The sea outside Tianjin will be frozen in winter.The head of the Da Zhou Republic, which lives in Tianjin, will not be able to get timely information from overseas for more than a month.This is not a good thing for a world empire that is on the rise and planning a war against Japan.

Therefore, after repeated trade-offs, Wu Yijiu and Wu Haogu made a decision that Xuzhou, the second capital of Xuzhou, will be opened every winter, the Xuhai area will be classified as the southern direct, which is naturally the meaning of the southern capital!

Although this land was flooded due to flooding, it temporarily lost its former prosperity.However, the revitalization of Xu Hai is still the unshakable national policy of the Great Zhou Republic.

Because the Xuhai area is still the ideal industrial and commercial capital in the Great Zhou Republic.

The area is open, the water transport is developed, and it is close to the Central Plains, which has rich coal-iron salt resources.In particular, Xuzhou's coal and iron ore are almost close together, which can be connected by canals, and the cost of mining is not high.

Once the era of industrialization comes, Xuzhou is the existence of comparable Ruhr!

Therefore, the Great Zhou Republic now wants to turn Xuzhou into a winter capital, so that the all-day rich Jia know their determination to revitalize Xu Hai.

As for the cost of the senate and the executive government in the south, it is not very high.After all, the Republic does not have such a row as the Empire.There is also a sea freightway between Tianjin and Xuzhou.Large quantities of materials can be transported by water.By land is only the team horse team, almost 1000 miles away, seven or eight days to go.

If the "stone road" between Tianjin and Xuzhou is completed in the future, the four-wheeled carriage is not a problem for more than 200 miles a day, and the 1,000-li road can be reached in four days.

At the same time, a water canal from Xuzhou to Haozhou from north to Haozhou, and then across the Yellow River from Haozhou, and then all the way north to Tianjin's water canal, is also being renovated.

Among them, Xuzhou - a section of Xuzhou, will borrow the river of the South Yellow River.A huge water conservancy hub project will be built near Liangshanbo in Haozhou.As the general valve for the management of the Yellow River and canal.

At the same time, the river in the middle of the Yellow River will also be fully organized.The river from Puyang to the north will be abandoned, and the original eastward road will be opened, the current road will pass through the water conservancy hub next to Liangshanbo, and the flood can be opened during the flood season as appropriate.In theory, it is enough to ensure that there is no major flooding in the area of Xu Haihuai!

Such a huge water treatment project can only be implemented by the two countries that have crossed the threshold of capitalism.

In the history of Song Yuanming, that is not to think about...

The executive government and the Senate go south every winter, which is also conducive to the negotiation of the Yellow, Huai and Transport Governance Projects with the East Song Dynasty.

However, today's rush delivered by the military's driver is news from Japan.

"My lord, Big Brother has not been able to enter Kyoto, but he has found a way to capture Japan!"

In Xuzhou City, in a building belonging to the Senate, Wu Yijiu handed a military newspaper to his father Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu is now the president of the military and diplomatic branch of the Senate and has the right to be informed of the secret military report.

He took the newspaper he had handed over his son and looked down.

Wu Yiyong reported on his visit to Japan in the military newspaper, and he did not enter Kyoto, but he met with the peace and loyalty of the White River Emperor's representative, Linzheng.

During the talks, Ping Zhongsheng also refused the request of Wu Yiyong to lead the delegation to the northeast front for observation.

The reason is that the snow is closed!

Japan's northeast and northern land areas have a cold winter climate, and there is also a lot of snow.Snow can often reach a few feet, and even low houses can be flooded, and it is impossible to pass.

In cold places in northeastern Japan, the snow season and the subsequent snowmelt season often last for several months.If Wu Yiyong wants to go to the northeast, he must wait until the summer of the following year (Republic 12 summer).

Ping Zhongsheng and Linzheng's description of the climate in northeastern Japan have made Wu Yiyong find an opportunity to attack Japan!

Later, he ordered the merchants of Nangbo to inquire about the situation of Zhongshan Road, Beiland Road and Donghai Road entering the Sakadong Plain.Subsequently, it was found that during the winter snowfall, not only the northern land road from the north and south of the north land was completely impassable, but even the Zhongshan Road passed from Meino, Xinhong and Kazhou would also be blocked because of snowfall.Only one of the East Coast can pass!

Therefore, Wu Yiyong's plan for Japan is to first attract the Eastern Samurai Regiment, which is more militarily in Japan, near and more distant to Kyushu Island.

The infantry of the two divisions were then transported by fleet, and landed on the coast of Kanto in winter.Then quickly blocked the East Sea Road.The snow in winter will prevent the main force of the Eastern Samurai Regiment from returning to Guandong from the North Land Road and Zhongshan Road.

In this way, the army of Zhou, which invaded, had a time difference of two or three months, which could be used to suppress the Tuhao warriors who were still in Kanto while strengthening the blockade of the roads from the northern mainland, the Kaxin and the East Sea to Kanto.

After successfully blocking the passage from the West to Kanto, the Zhou army, who invaded Japan, had time to calmly clean up the Samurai groups that remained in Kanto.Either destroy it, or turn it into a part of the military and knight system of the Zhou Kingdom in Japan!

To quote Wu Yiyong's original words in the report, it is necessary to first realize the martial family revolution and the martial family republic in the eastern part of Japan!

Therefore, after Pingping Guandong, Wu Yiyong's next target was not to attack from the sea at any time and seize the Gyeonggi region of Japan, but the northeast region that was being attacked by the Bohai people.

As for the reason, Wu Yiyong also explained in the military newspaper.Because he believes that the courtyards and ecumenaries who now rule Japan are basically a group of waste, and they have no ability to lead a war with the Great Zhou Republic.

So it is more advantageous to keep them for the time being to command the Western warriors of Japan than to destroy them immediately!

In addition, Wu suggested that the Japanese court in Heianjing should adopt a strategy of political inducement.The king of Japan was used as a bait to negotiate with the court of Heianjing.

Disrupt the spirit of the Japanese court with negotiations.Once the Japanese imperial court is willing to give up the East at the expense of abandoning the East in exchange for the "protection" of the Grand Zhou Republic, then the Great Zhou Republic can gain a long-term foothold in the eastern part of Japan's Mount Kanajima.The complete annexation of Japan is a matter of time.

Even if the Japanese court had detected the plot of the Great Week, they would not be able to counterattack the East.After all, Japan's Gyeonggi region and the western island of Kyushu are under the deterrence of the military stationed in the island of Pingtou.

Therefore, the Japanese legionate still can easily take the "Japanese court" as its opponent, while cannibalizing the remaining territory of the Japanese country, while carrying out military colonization of Japan's eastern region.At the same time, he tried to convert the subordinate Japanese low-level samurai into the knights and soldiers of the Great Week.

With patience for five or six years, Japan has almost become a part of the Great Zhou Republic since ancient times.

“Five to six years... can military spending be met?”Wu Haogu carefully read Wu Yiyong's military newspaper, and then looked at Wu Yijiu and asked, "If you want to pacifize the whole of Japan, two divisions is not enough, how can you prepare seven or eight divisions?"

Seven to eight divisions, about 100,000 people, five years of war... Even the soldiers recruited can use the Grange to pay, and the military food can be collected in the Kanto area.

But the combination of equipment, rewards, pensions, officers' wages, and the purchase of Japanese samurai will still be expensive.

In the past few years, the government of the Great Zhou Republic has not been rich in hand...

“It can handle it!”Wu Yijiu laughed, “It’s nothing more than a few more debt tickets... and this war can’t be fought!”The Central Plains World War I made many good boys on both sides of the Yellow River without land and family business.We don't have an exam here, we have to fight if we want to turn over!If there is no war, these restless people must quarrel with us.Instead of exerting pressure on the inside, it is better to use external soldiers.In the Central Plains, 100,000 children were recruited to invade Japan, and if they won.One hundred thousand soldiers can always be placed, and there is a lot of peace on this side of the Central Plains."

This is the absence of the system and the shortcomings of the annexation... The people below do not have a safe and stable upward channel, and they will all kinds of disturbances.And the country must use military skills to appease the brave and strong people of the people.

To say nothing is to be heard, it is really to kill except the enemy who is inside, and win.

Therefore, when there is no scientific and noble, or when the composition of the science and technology is very low, the Central Plains Dynasty will never be stable, either foreign war or infighting.

Although the current Great Zhou Republic is not a dynasty, it must also find a way for the brave warriors of more than 40 million people.

From this point of view, the cost of attacking Japan is not a matter of fact at all.

As for the Japanese people's anti-week will cloud ... is not a problem!In any case, some of the military elites on this side of the Central Plains are ready to give their whole lives for the liberation of the Japanese people!
