Genghis Khan had a clever trick that kept his men from going hungry. Why did the Japanese army imitate it, but 50,000 people starved to death?

Genghis Khan led his army on four campaigns. He had a method that kept his men from going hungry, which was very useful. During World War II, the militaristic little Japanese empire tried to follow suit, but ended up starving to death more than 50,000 people and became a joke. The reason why Xiao Japan paints tiger-like dogs is because Xiao Japan’s imitation is illegal and out of touch with reality.

Genghis Khan, a genius of a generation, fought everywhere and became a war madman, and he was the most powerful war madman in the world. In this life, he seems to have done nothing except fighting. Fighting is his only life. After conquering Asia and conquering Europe, if it weren't for the sea separating them, he would probably conquer the world.

As the saying goes, "the troops and horses must go before food and grass are moved" and "the victory of the war depends on logistics." The reason why Genghis Khan was sure to win every battle and conquer the Eurasian continent was because they had the most advanced logistics supply concept and system in the world at the time - the Genghis Khan-style supply method. The core of this method is animal-powered marching.

The so-called animal-powered march means that when Genghis Khan was fighting over long distances, his soldiers would drive cattle and sheep to march together, and while marching, they would eat the meat and milk of cattle and sheep as food. This is much more efficient than using baggage trucks for transportation. At the same time, each Mongolian soldier has at least three horses that can be changed at any time to save horse power.

Militaristic Japan during World War II was ambitious and attempted to conquer the world. In order to achieve the goal of fighting everywhere, they decided to learn the method of the Chinese nation's war ancestors-using the Genghis Khan supply method to conquer the world. For example: In 1944, the Japanese troops stationed in Myanmar decided to follow the example of Genghis Khan and cross 700 kilometers of no-man's land to attack Imphal in India.

The idea is beautiful, but the result is cruel. In this war, before Japan even started fighting, 50,000 people starved to death and were truly defeated without a fight. The main reasons why they failed so quickly were: 1. Inadequate learning, 2. Out of touch with the reality of the times.

1. Inadequate learning.

When Genghis Khan marched, he drove a large number of domesticated cattle and sheep, which could eat meat and drink milk. What Little Japan drives are elephants, buffaloes, goats and monkeys. These animals are very different from the cattle and sheep on the grassland. It is difficult to drive them on a large scale, and Little Japan is not good at driving groups of animals. Often when we are in a hurry, these animals will slip away, and little Japan will often look at the meat and sigh.

2. Out of touch with the reality of the times.

When Genghis Khan succeeded, war horses were equivalent to the most advanced aircraft and tanks during World War II, which had huge advantages. The cattle and sheep they drove were equivalent to transport trucks during World War II, which also had advantages. During World War II, little Japan drove elephants, buffaloes, goats, and monkeys. Not only did it not have any advantage, it was also a scumbag. As a result, the little Japanese meat was not eaten, and it was dragged to death.

Knowing the childish marching pattern of little Japan, the British immediately sent aircraft for air strikes. The British army at that time did not intend to blow up many little Japanese, they only needed to blow up animals. As soon as the bombing started, elephants, buffaloes, goats and monkeys fled in all directions, and the Japanese soldiers were unable to hold them back. They even trampled on small Japanese soldiers, causing numerous casualties.
