Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No matter which angle you analyze it from, Emperor Hirohito's worries are justified. Dominating Asia is not only Hirohito's ambition, it is Japan's basic national policy. It must defeat and occupy China on the Asian continent and completely eliminate British and American influence in Southeast Asia.  Power is a strategic direction that Japan has determined decades ago, and its collision with Britain and the United States is inevitable.

    Whether they are Americans or Japanese, they know very well that sooner or later the two sides will have a war, but it is just a matter of time. For Japan, there is an important prerequisite for such a collision to occur, which is to defeat China, but a war with China  After several years of fighting, Japan not only failed to achieve its planned strategic goals, but also lost a large number of elite troops, until it withdrew from China in embarrassment.

    The only reason for all this was the emergence of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. He became the nightmare and nemesis of the Imperial Japanese Army. Therefore, the Japanese base camp was forced to adjust its strategic direction and occupy the Indo-China Peninsula.  base, the North can wait for an opportunity to attack the five southwestern provinces of China again, and the South can covet the American sphere of influence.

    In Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, there are four military forces. The British and American forces and the Chiang and Tang forces of the Nationalist Government. Within the scope of consideration of the Japanese, only the British and American and Tang Qiuli are considered. As for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, he is no longer worthy  As an opponent of the Japanese Empire, among the three forces that can be called rivals, the British are the weakest link.

    Especially when the European War broke out, the British were beaten breathlessly by their German allies. They had too much time to take care of themselves at home and had no energy to take care of Southeast Asia tens of thousands of miles away. Therefore, the Japanese chose Indochina as the strategic location in Southeast Asia.  An attack target. It should be said that the vision of Japan's decision-makers is very accurate.

    On the battlefield of Indochina, the war against the British started very well. The Japanese had already touched the garland of victory. But at this moment, that abominable China devil Tang Qiuli jumped out again and broke it effortlessly.  The dream of the Japanese and dealt a serious blow to the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Forces

    The British were defeated by the warriors of our Yamato nation and defeated the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in Indochina. However, they snatched the garland of victory from the hands of the imperial army and enjoyed the fruits of victory effortlessly. This made the Japanese people  From top to bottom, in addition to the original hatred for Tang Qiuli, there was also a pathological hatred.

    The Japanese base camp also gradually realized that the most important obstacle to dominating Asia was not the British or the Americans, but the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli who had killed nearly a million warriors of the Yamato nation on the battlefield. He was the unavoidable figure for Emperor Hirohito to dominate Asia.  If Hirohito was asked to choose the object of destruction, he would choose Tang Qiuli first.

    The Americans are the future rivals of the Japanese Empire, but Tang Qiuli is the empire's most serious thorn in the side. If it were possible with Emperor Hirohito's character, both future rivals and grievances would have to be eradicated completely, but Hirohito knew his family background.  Well, with Japan's current national strength, it can only choose one direction of attack.

    Moreover, the Americans put on a high profile of not interfering with Asian affairs, thereby conveying a signal of the United States' friendliness to Japan, which was also what the Japanese needed. However, the Allied Manila Agreement made Emperor Hirohito see his naivety.  , Americans will never allow the empire¡¯s hand to extend into their sphere of influence.

    At the same time, we fought an opponent. Emperor Hirohito was not crazy to that extent. Americans were no better than the British. In World War I, Americans stayed out of the European war. Making a fortune did not count. It was still at the end of the war.  They reached out to grab a lot of money, made a lot of money, and kept themselves fat and strong. They made Americans the first target of attack. From Emperor Hirohito to the Japanese people, no one had the confidence. Only the Japanese navy clamored for hegemony all day long.  Pacific Ocean

    From that aspect, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was the first target that should be eliminated. The majestic Japanese Empire withdrew from Chinese territory. I thought that there would be no more conflicts with this hateful and formidable opponent.  Any intersection, but Emperor Hirohito discovered that he had thought wrong. Tang Qiuli took the initiative to confront the empire in Indochina.

    Since it is unavoidable, it can only fight. This is also the main reason why the Japanese base camp insists on Ito Yanzaburo and must attack Tang Qiuli first. Moreover, the main force of the Japanese division must be defeated or eliminated in the first battle, which is the core of the Myanmar battle.  The main purpose is to fight Tang Qiuli's power back to China through a decisive battle.

    Only by getting rid of Tang Qiuli can we turn around and deal with the Americans. Hirohito did not dare to delay it. Japan's national power could not bear a protracted war. Moreover, Emperor Hirohito believed that if the imperial army were the first to attack the Americans, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli would  They will never stand idly by. If the imperial army attacks Tang Qiuli, the Americans may not stab Ito in the back.

    Having dealt with Americans for many years, Hirohito understands the selfish psychology of Americans too well. The most obvious example is that although the United States is one of the initiators of the Allies, its huge bilateral trade with Japan has never stopped., On the surface, they are enemies and rivals, but secretly, there is constant trade, especially military supplies. This is what the Americans do. Even Emperor Hirohito, who thinks he is despicable and insidious enough, has to admire him.

    The Allied Manila Military Mutual Assistance Agreement made Hirohito see the crisis. Tang Qiuli in Indochina must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the selfish Americans will definitely reach out to take advantage of the opportunity and profit.  , by that time, the Empire¡¯s Southeast Asia dispatched troops will really be attacked from both sides.

    Emperor Hirohito read Ito Genzaburo's statement and thought it was very reasonable. Hirohito also knew that the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, which was exhausted, was in a head-on collision with Tang Qiuli's army in its current state.  , the chance of winning was not great, but he had to harden his heart and ordered Ito to implement the Burma battle plan.

    The biggest concern and worry is still the elusive Americans. The Burma battle plan was issued with the emperor's royal approval. Hirohito was not confident, and issued a national mobilization order to form a division in the country to prepare for the establishment of the South Pacific.  The front army is planned to have a strength of 450,000, including 15 infantry divisions, five heavy artillery brigades, three tank brigades, an aviation team, and other auxiliary forces, as the basis for future battles with the Americans.  main force

    This is a statement on the surface. In fact, this is a strategic reserve formed by the Japanese base camp. Once Ito's Southeast Asia dispatched troops failed in the battle in Myanmar, no matter how pessimistic the judgment was, Ito's troops were defeated by Tang Qiuli's troops.  If the division is severely damaged or the entire army is shattered, the South Pacific Front will attack

    From this point of view, Emperor Hirohito was not very optimistic about the battle between Ito and Tang Qiuli. However, the situation forced him to order Ito to implement the Burma battle plan. On October 5, Emperor Hirohito told everyone at the imperial meeting  The minister expressed his concerns

    Emperor Hirohito looked worried and said: "My dear friends, I have issued a plan for the Burma battle, but in my heart, I am really worried about the fierce Japanese division troops.  , What he said is the truth, but how can he understand my painstaking efforts? My dear friends, who has a proper way to ensure victory in the Burma War? "

    The ministers immediately understood that this seemingly routine imperial meeting actually had only one theme, which was how to ensure that Ito could kill Tang Qiuli's assassins in Burma. Although the emperor said it cryptically, he was speaking euphemistically.  I remind you all, it¡¯s time to share my worries, don¡¯t act like a dog, and take out all the bezoar and dog treasures in your belly.¡±

    Everyone here is a high-level decision-maker in Japan. They are all well aware of Ito's current situation. It seems that no one is optimistic about the battle between Ito and Tang Qiuli. However, this is a decision made by His Majesty the Emperor himself. His Majesty  That temper, that guy who doesn't know how light his head is but how heavy his egg is, dares to act like a horse?  If you have to be disgraced, you are asking for trouble, right?

    None of the ministers have any good ideas. Who doesn't hope that guy Ito can kill Tang Qiuli, but there is no way. Several famous generals in the empire have fallen into the hands of Tang Qiuli. This Chinese devil is simply invincible.  There is no way to deal with it. The eyes looking at Hirohito are evasive, or they lower their eyebrows, or they frown as if they are thinking hard, but no one speaks.

    Hirohito's eyes were full of disappointment, and he looked at the ministers with extremely sad eyes, as if he was saying, "How come I have raised a bunch of trash like you? They are usually like dogs, vying for favors, and fighting for power and profit without giving in."  , once it is beneficial, you will sharpen your head and dig in, but when the empire really needs it, you will become mute? "

    In the unbearable dullness, the air seemed to solidify. Major General Ryutaro Hashimoto, the head of the Special Tactics Research Headquarters of the base camp, stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report to you, but it is not convenient to be here.  Say it on such an occasion, "Everyone here, that person is no more senior and powerful than Hashimoto. He is a powerful figure in the Empire of Japan.

    In front of them, Hashimoto was not even a junior. Many people had even heard of this guy for the first time. He was able to participate in the imperial meeting, and they didn't know that he was taking advantage of that big shot. After listening to Hashimoto's words, they didn't know.  A person who was not tired of it said, "Hey, there are really guys who don't know how light their head is and how heavy their eggs are. They wear a fur coat behind their backs and think they are wolves? If they say anything, they still go behind our backs. They really don't know the depth of it."

    Hirohito looked at this army major general with gold-rimmed glasses, fair face, and gentle manners. If it weren't for this military uniform, he would be almost like a university professor. Since he dared to stand in front of all the big bosses at the imperial meeting where thousands of people were silent.  Mian'er, I have something to tell you secretly. I might have some ideas. Let's listen to it.

    Hirohito waved his hand and said: "My dear friends, today's meeting ends here. Hashimoto loves to stay." The ministers left without thinking. In the empty hall, only Hirohito and Hashimoto were left.? people
