Zhukov was right, the polar bear was not ready for war!
Of course, there was something he didn't dare to say.
In this war, Starlin was too confident, too self-righteous, too trusting of Fusang, and too underestimating the strength of the Feng lineage.
Did they really think that Jiang Xiong's death and the suppression from the west would weaken the Feng lineage's war potential?
No, four years ago, Jiang Xiong officially implemented the planned economy and collective agriculture. Although the industrial production capacity of the Feng family had decreased by almost one-third, even if it had decreased, it was not something that the polar bear could compare to.
It was not a competition of industrial production capacity, but a competition of technology.
Last year, Polar Bear produced 14.5 million tons of steel, while Feng produced 12.8 million tons. Polar Bear seemed to be stronger than Feng.
In fact, in terms of military technology, the polar bear was far inferior.
This war was the best example.
The Fengxian Air Force had a firm grasp of the air, and the performance of artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles were all better than the Polar Bears.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how brave and fearless the Polar Bear Army was, they still suffered a crushing defeat in the end.
1.1 million of the 1.5 million soldiers had been killed or injured, leaving only 400,000 soldiers stationed at the border of Ulan-Ude-Chita and the Amur River. How long could they last?
"Pass down my order, retreat!"
……
Fusang, Tokyo.
With a series of bad news, Fusang was in a gloomy mood. From the military cabinet to the civilians, there was no longer the excitement and fanaticism before the war. They were as dispirited as frosted eggplants.
The Battle of Shunchuan had ended, with more than two-thirds of the 400,000 elite soldiers dead. Shirakawa Masanori only had 600,000 men left.
It was absolutely impossible to hold on to pyjamas. Army chief of staff Kim Kindani suggested giving up pyjamas and defending seoul.
"Give up on pyongyang? Didn't you brag about reaching Fengtian in seven days?”
In the meeting room, just as Kanaya Fan San made this suggestion, Hirohito, who couldn't take it anymore, flew into a rage.
Before the war, Hirohito summoned the military generals led by Kanaya Fan San and asked how the war would be fought and how long it would take to end.
The military had promised to take Fengtian in seven days and take Rehe Province, Heilongjiang Province, Jiling Province, and Fengtian Province in a month!
And the result?
Not to mention conquering the four northeastern provinces, they did not even take a step into the territory of the Feng clan.
It's fine if you didn't break into the Feng faction's territory, but at least you have to protect Gao Li, right?
Hirohito regretted listening to the military's nonsense and starting this damn war!
"Emergency! Your Majesty! Emergency!"
Just as Hirohito was about to continue questioning Kanaya Fan San and take this opportunity to remove him from his position as Chief of Staff and replace him with a general of the royal family to control the military, the attendant, Tanaka Seitaka, pushed open the door and entered in a panic.
Seeing his anxious and fearful expression, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they had a bad feeling.
As expected, Tanaka's words struck everyone present as if they were struck by lightning!
"Your Majesty, the Feng Department Navy has suddenly announced that the new battleship, the Heaven-class, has been completed and will be in service tomorrow morning.”
"There are two Heaven-class battleships, 302.2 meters long and 40.7 meters wide. They have a standard displacement of 85000 tons and a full-load displacement of 95000 tons. They are equipped with four steam engines, 12 new oil-fired furnaces, 175000 shaft horsepower, and 30 knots of speed. They are equipped with eight 510 mm/45 times dual-mounted main guns, four 200 mm dual-mounted auxiliary guns, 20 new anti-aircraft guns, and 86 anti-aircraft guns. The thickness of the main armor belt is 500 millimeters. In theory, they can defend against the enemy's 460 - 500 mm caliber main guns.”
"Fengtian Military Bureau also announced that Jiang Yun 'an will lead the Northern Fleet to visit Jinling!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the air instantly froze, and a pin drop could be heard in the meeting room.
Hirohito and the military officials felt as if their acupoints had been struck. Their bodies stiffened, and their expressions froze on their faces. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and fear!
A 95000-ton battleship?？
A 95000-ton battleship?？
The Feng family had actually built a battleship with a displacement of 95000 tons and four 510mm main guns?
The Fusang Navy's ace battleship, the Naga-class, had a displacement of less than 40000 tons at full load. The two Naga-class battleships were not even as large as the Tenya-class battleships!
Hirohito came back to his senses and felt his scalp go numb. He couldn't help but gasp.
"Damn it! Damn Jiang Xiong! Seven years ago, when he refused to sign the treaty, we should have joined forces with the western countries to destroy the Feng family!”
Panic, Hirohito panicked.
In the past, the Feng Navy and the Fusang Navy were on par, and neither could do anything to the other.
However, the Feng navy did not dare to attack the Fusang navy because the westerners were on the Fusang side. In order to avoid being attacked by the masses, the Feng navy did not even dare to leave Bohai Bay.
And now?
The balance was completely broken when the two Tenwa-class ships entered service. The Feng Navy became the number one in East Asia, and the Fusang Navy was in danger.
The Navy Minister, Daikaku Qinsheng, said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, please recall the joint fleet patrolling the Yellow Sea immediately.”
Hearing this, Hirohito's panic and anxiety calmed down a little.
"Right, order the alliance fleet to return to the port at the fastest speed!”
