Chapter 718
The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.
Compared to the Japanese navy and army, they were wary of stabbing each other in the back during the war.
They would rather destroy the surplus resources between each other than to use them.
During the outbreak of World War II, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides reached their peak.
Not only did they not cooperate with each other in tactics, but they also firmly opposed what you agreed with and agreed with what you opposed.
Because the small territory of Japan is small and resources are scarce.
Therefore, they can only choose one direction to focus on development between the army and the navy.
But the navy advocates going south, and the army advocates going north.
Going south to face Britain requires a strong maritime force, and the navy will naturally benefit.
Going north to face the pressure of Russia, the army must be developed.
Therefore, no matter which side the cabinet supports, which side will get more resources.
For this reason, Xiao Dongyang came up with a trick.
No matter which side of the navy and the army obtains supplies, they must keep it absolutely confidential, which is stricter than defending against the enemy.
This wave of outrageous operations is simply an outrageous opening – outrageous to the extreme!
Although Xiao Dongyang has an agency dedicated to managing military logistics supplies.
But both the navy and the army look down on the management of such an agency.
Instead, each established its own unit to collect various materials and order weapons and equipment from manufacturers.
Even after the navy and the army established their own arsenals.
The open and secret struggles between the two sides have risen to an incredible level.
For example, after the Dongyang Navy established an aircraft manufacturing plant.
Then the Dongyang Army will follow closely and immediately build a larger aircraft manufacturing plant.
And keep it strictly confidential to the other party, and intelligence can only be transmitted through spies.
The result of this is that a large amount of steel and metal resources are seriously wasted.
This made the already resource-scarce Dongyang even worse.
And what’s even more bizarre is…
The Sanling Company, which is responsible for manufacturing aircraft for the Dongyang military, needs to send technicians to the factories of the navy and the army respectively.
Moreover, all raw materials and mechanical parts are in duplicate, and technical communication cannot be carried out after returning to the company.
In order to prevent the two sides’ aircraft from communicating with each other, the operation method of the navy aircraft is deliberately made different from that of the army aircraft.
Even the pilots of each other will not fly each other’s aircraft.
Even to prevent the other party from stealing their own technology and materials.
Even if the parts have the same purpose, they still have to make different differences.
Even if it is an ordinary screw, if the army makes it to the left, then the navy must make it to the right.
Also, when making bullets.
Even if the navy and the army use the same type of guns, they have to modify them to different calibers, deliberately making the ammunition of both sides incompatible.
Fully demonstrated the stubborn spirit of the little Dongyang.
The army clan headed by the Nagasu clan, and the navy clan headed by the Satsuma clan.
The conflict and struggle between the two sides has not eased until now.
Instead, it has become more and more intense with the passage of time.
Take the various disaster losses caused by the heavy rain for more than 20 consecutive days.
Whether it is the clan headed by the Nagasu clan or the clan headed by the Satsuma clan.
Both sides only think about how to protect the interests of their factions and families in this disaster.
As for whether the other party’s losses are heavy?
Each of them hopes that the other party can be more miserable!
In order to weaken the other party’s strength and gain more voice and resources for their own faction.
As the shogun of the shogunate, Oda Kiyono has no way to deal with this.
The group of people it just invited to the banquet are the clans of the Nagasu clan faction.
After these guys leave, continue to entertain the nobles of the Satsuma clan.
The reason why Oda Kiyono entertained the two factions of the noble families separately was naturally to avoid conflicts between the two camps when they met.
………
It was late at night.
There were thunder and lightning outside, and the heavy rain was still continuing.
In another half an hour, it would be 12 o’clock in the morning.
This means that this nationwide heavy rain has been falling in the East for a full 21 days!
At this time, in a luxurious and spacious office.
The shogun Oda Kiyono was sitting at his desk with a gloomy face.
The dense raindrops outside the window hit the roof cracklingly, making a sound.
A sharp and rapid sound.
There were also the thunderous sounds that kept ringing in his ears, and the lightning that flashed from time to time.
The mood of the already bored Oda Kiyono became even worse.
At this time, the subordinates who came to report were standing trembling next to him.
“Great… General.”
“This heavy rain that lasted for 21 days has caused incalculable losses.”
“The city was flooded, many buildings collapsed, and countless people were trapped.”
“Especially in rural areas, landslides and mudslides are particularly serious.”
“A large number of houses and farmlands were flooded, crops were harvested, and livestock were washed away.”
“And now it is the hot summer, and many corpses have been soaked in the flood and rotted.”
“As a result, a large number of water sources have been seriously polluted, and infectious diseases have begun to spread among the people.”
Oda Kiyono, with a gloomy and terrifying face, stared at his subordinates and asked: “How is the disaster in the urban area?”
Being stared at by it with a sharp gaze, Murakami Tian Xiang shuddered and quickly replied:
“The current situation in Dongjing and Osaka is also extremely urgent.”
“The flood not only submerged the main traffic arteries, making it difficult to carry out rescue work.”
“Even many hospitals have damaged medical equipment due to power outages and floods.”
“The injured and patients cannot be treated, and the current casualties are… heavy!”
Oda Jingye’s mouth twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath and asked: “Currently, how many people have been killed and injured?”
“Reporting to the general, the government statistics… 623 people.”
“What about the actual number?”
“About… 170,000 people.”
When saying this number, Murakami Tian Xiang’s voice was mixed with a tremor.
Oda Jingye’s forehead veins popped up, and he slammed the table and shouted angrily: “Baga! How could this happen?!”
Its roar echoed in the empty office, like the storm raging outside, full of depression and anxiety.
Murakami Tian Xiang, who came to report, was so frightened that he dared not breathe.
After a long time…
Oda Kiyono, who was shocked and angry, calmed down a little.
In its triangular eyes, fierce and resentful expressions kept flashing.
After lighting a cigarette, Oda Kiyono murmured:
“Damn it!”
“Why did this heavy rain last for so long?”
“Behind this… is it possible that it is not a natural disaster… but a man-made disaster?!”
