"What?"

"Impossible?"

"There is such strength for little Japan?"

When senior generals such as Yu Liangzhen, Qian Xiaojun and Xuan Tiewu were shocked when they heard Zhong Yi's words.

They originally thought that after the Sino-Japanese War entered a stalemate stage, Japan's war potential had basically been exhausted and it was impossible to launch a larger-scale offensive.

But now, after hearing what Zhong Yi said, that's not the case at all.

It turns out that the war potential of Japan is far from exhausted, it is still early!

"The war potential of little Japan has not been exhausted yet." Zhong Yi nodded with certainty and said, "However, everyone doesn't have to worry so much. little Japan will never be stupid enough to launch all its potential to deal with our China, because today's world is not just China and Japan, but the ultimate enemy of little Japan is definitely not China!"

Yu Liangzhen took a breath and asked, "Zi Ren, what do you mean?"

Zhong Yi said: "I mean, the little Japanese may form another twenty or even fifty divisions, but they will never put these divisions into the Chinese battlefield to launch a battle against China's destruction!"

"Why?" Qian Xiaojun said, "Since Japan has such potential, why is it unwilling to put these potentials into the Chinese battlefield and launch a war of destruction against China?"

"The reason is very simple." Zhong Yi said, "Even if Japan invests all its resources to launch a war to destroy the country, it may not necessarily destroy China!"

Xuan Tiewu didn't believe it: "Even if 50 divisions are added to the army, can't we China be destroyed?"

"Yes, 50 divisions may not be able to destroy our China!" Zhong Yi raised three fingers and explained one after another, "There are three reasons."

"First, China's territory is too vast, and the Japanese army's front line is too long!"

"Even a three-unit security division, one division has 20,000 people, and 50 divisions have 1 million people. The food, drink, defecation and ammunition supply of these million people need to rely on the shipping of roads, railways and rivers. During the transportation process, these materials are easily attacked by our guerrillas, which lead to astonishing losses!"

"And as the front deepens, the Japanese supply line will become longer and more and more vulnerable to attack. Once the Japanese advance to the southwest and the rear, the materials they consumed during transportation may even exceed the losses on the front line. Even if Japan moves into the wartime system, it will not last long!"

"Secondly, there are only 1 million people in 50 divisions. It sounds like a lot, but in fact there are not that many."

"As of now, the Japanese army has more than 1.5 million troops in Chinese territory, including 700,000 Kwantung Army and more than 800,000 troops in the pass."

"So, even if 50 divisions have added 1 million troops, it will only double the troops."

"In view of the current situation in China's battlefield, the Japanese will double their troops, which will certainly increase our pressure, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they will collapse across the board!"

"Although the situation will be more difficult than it is now, it can be maintained at least."

"Third and most important, Western powers will never sit idly by!"

"Although France has surrendered and Britain is deeply trapped in the continental region and has no time to care about it, isn't there still an America? The United States will never sit idly by and watch Japan really annex China."

"I heard that the U.S. Congress is already discussing the loan loan bill."

"The so-called lease bill is to support the United States' military supplies to its allies by renting or borrowing. At that time, China will definitely be able to receive assistance!"

"According to the above three points, I can assert that even if Japan adds 50 divisions to the Chinese battlefield, it will not be able to destroy China, but will only become more muddy and deeper!"

After listening to Zhong Yi's analysis, Yu Liangzhen and the other two finally looked a little better.

Because after thinking carefully, as Zhong Yi analyzed, even if Japan increases 50 divisions and 1 million troops, it may not necessarily destroy China.

Qian Xiaojun said in confusion: "In this case, why did Japan move into the wartime system?"

"The purpose of little Japan is actually very obvious." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Their target is Southeast Asia, or the US Navy's Pacific Fleet!"

Yu Liangzhen and the other two were confused when they heard this.

Why did you get involved in Southeast Asia and the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet?

Xuan Tiewu asked in confusion: "Is there any connection between these two?"

"Of course there is connection." Zhong Yi said, "Japan is an island country with poor resources, while Southeast Asia is rich in crude oil, iron ore, rubber and other resources. These resources are the basic raw materials of industry, especially crude oil, which is called the blood of modern industry!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "Do you know Ishihara Kaner?"

"Of course I know." Xuan Tiewu said, "Isn't this old devil the Chief of Staff of the 13th Army now?"

"Yes, it's him." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "This old devil is a truly strategic vision. Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, this guy strongly opposed it. Even because he disagrees with the Japanese base camp, he couldn't even do the job of the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army and was transferred back to China to be a fortress commander."

Qian Xiaojun said in surprise: "There is such a thing? We really don't know."

Zhong Yi said again: "Do you know why Ishihara Kaner opposes the full-scale war between China and Japan?"

"Worried that China will not be destroyed in a short period of time and will fall into the quagmire of war?" Qian Xiaojun said.

"This is one of the reasons, but not the main reasons." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "The reason why Ishihara Kanir firmly opposed the full war against China was mainly because he traveled all over China twenty years ago before the war and found that although China's resources are rich, it does not have the oil that Japan urgently needs!"

"And China's iron ore grade is also poor!"

"In other words, even if it annexes China, Japan cannot obtain much-needed raw materials!"

"On the contrary, in the Soviet Far East and Southeast Asia, it contains the high-grade iron ore and oil that Japan urgently needs, so Ishihara Kanur firmly opposes going to war against China!"

"I understand!" Yu Liangzhen slapped his thigh and said, "Zi Ren, are you saying that Japan's move to the wartime system this time to occupy Southeast Asia and seize Southeast Asia's industrial raw materials such as oil, rubber, iron ore?"

"Yes!" Zhong Yi focused his head and then said, "If I didn't make a mistake, the little Japanese will soon start forming the Southern Army and sending troops to Southeast Asia!"

"So that's it." Yu Liangzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude, "I thought Japan was going to fight against our China?"
