Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Hirohito's military meeting in front of the emperor has gone to this extent. I can't blame these big guys. They are not fools. The situation is clear. Stalin is definitely not targeting the China devil Tang Qiuli to kill the Duli Division.  After that, the next target is the Kwantung Army, no one doubts this.

    Precisely because the situation is very clear, it is difficult to make a decision. There are only two roads before the Kwantung Army. One is to retreat from the outer Xing'an Mountains, return to Manchuria, and swallow up the territory of the Soviet Far East, including the ever-threatening territory.  Japan's backyard port of Vladivostok should be spit out and returned to the Russians, and special envoys would be sent to negotiate with the Russians. In this way, the Kwantung Army could retreat intact.

    The other way is to fight to the death with the Soviet army in the Far East and protect the interests that have been obtained. The Empire of Japan has not the habit of spitting out what it eats. Although the military generals have this intention, they can't.  You have to have the courage to do that.

    As long as he doesn't have a high fever to the point of confusion, or is so arrogant that he doesn't know the heights of the sky, he will understand the current situation. Facing the two million troops of the Soviet Far East Front, the Kwantung Army can only maintain a stalemate, but cannot break the Soviet Union.  Otherwise, with the bravery and skill of the Kwantung Army, we would not have spent more than two years fighting the Russians on the front line of the Waixing'an Mountains.

    The first way can be said to be the safest way at present. Japan has lost nothing. What it gave up is just the land snatched from the Russians. However, this means that under Stalin¡¯s huge military pressure,  , the Japanese Empire became timid, retreated, and was afraid of the Russians.

    The person who first proposed this suggestion will definitely be criticized by thousands of people, cast aside by the fanatical citizens, and drowned in public opinion. He will definitely be labeled as a "coward". If in order to calm down the boiling public opinion in the country, His Majesty the Emperor will  If you use your own head again to thank the people of the country, then your death will be even more unjust!

    The second way can gain a good reputation, but the price is more than 1.5 million Kwantung Army troops, more than 4 million troops transferred from the Soviet Union's European direction, plus Zhukov's Far East Front Army with more than 1.5 million troops  , together, reached a huge military strength of nearly 6 million people. Even if the Soviets did not fight, they could drown 1.5 million Kwantung Army soldiers with their own men. And after the Kwantung Army was defeated or the entire army was annihilated, what would happen to Manchuria?  ?

    Don¡¯t forget, there is also the China Devil Tang Qiuli¡¯s number one general, the 500,000-600,000 troops commanded by the Duli Division¡¯s East Point Commander Liu Tiehan. They are eyeing the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning. The Kwantung Army was severely damaged by the Soviet army, which coincided with the China Devil Tang.  Qiu Li's thoughts.

    If the Kwantung Army were defeated in the Far East, not only the Far East but also Manchuria would be lost. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor would be held accountable for the loss of cities, territory, and troops. Those who had done their best to lead the battle would surely be the first to suffer.  Head man.

    With His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s ruthless style and sinister and neurotic personality, can he reap the rewards?

    This is a dilemma. Those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with the Soviets will be labeled as "cowards" and "traitors" and will end up not much better. Those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with nearly six million  For those who fought a decisive battle with the Soviet Army, the day the Kwantung Army was defeated was the day of unlucky times for them, and they would not be able to take advantage of them. Therefore, the Japanese military and political officials, with the mentality of talking about disaster, kept silent.  .

    Emperor Hirohito sang a one-man show and kept talking for more than three hours. His mouth was dry and his throat was filled with smoke. He was helpless. The military and political officials below were like Bodhisattvas in the temple, with lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes.  He listened attentively and showed a devout attitude of listening to His Majesty the Emperor's teachings, but said nothing, not even a echo or compliment.

    Even the generals of the army and navy, who have always been at odds with each other and would fight each other at every meeting, are for the first time not like red-eyed chickens. They get angry when they come up. They can make huge quarrels over trivial matters. They are surprisingly quiet and no longer talk to each other.  It doesn¡¯t look pleasing to the eye.

    Emperor Hirohito felt bitter for a while. These officials, who were always talkative, rushed to talk one by one, as if they were afraid of not being able to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. What happened today?  All mute?

    Emperor Hirohito had a gloomy face, glanced around with cold eyes, and said coldly: "My dear friends, if anyone has good suggestions or suggestions, just say them in front of me. At this time, the Empire of Japan  At this critical moment, all my dear friends should share my worries!"

    It was the first time for General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, to participate in such a high-profile imperial military meeting. Originally, he was the first to bear the brunt. Four million Soviet troops were coming towards his Kwantung Army. He should have made a statement, but  After thinking about it carefully, I found that I didn't know what to say to His Majesty the Emperor.

    It is absolutely impossible to give up the territory in the Far East. Even if the big boss here made such a suggestion, he would jumpIs it easy for you to oppose it? Commanding the Kwantung Army troops and fighting bloody battles with the Soviet army led to today's situation. It was the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who sacrificed their lives for it.

    However, Nanjiro did not have the courage to let go and fight the Soviet army. Even if the Soviet reinforcements came with one million people, the Kwantung Army still had the courage and strength to fight the Soviet army to the death. But come  There are four million Soviet troops, plus Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops, the strength ratio is six to one. How to fight this battle, not counting the difference in heavy equipment.

    Even though the Kwantung Army was the flower of the Japanese Army, brave and adept at fighting, with a bushido spirit and no fear of death, and General Nanjiro commanded operations to the level of proficiency, facing the overwhelming advantage of the Soviet army, General Nanjiro was secretly afraid and had to  After considering the comparison of strength, I can't afford to put in any effort.

    Now, after listening to His Majesty the Emperor's heartfelt words, General Nanjiro felt that all the cells in his body were beating, and the blood in his heart rushed to his face with a "snort", and a sense of bravery arose in his heart.  It is the responsibility and sacred mission of every member of the Imperial Japanese Army to share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor. What¡¯s more, the decisive battle battlefield is in one¡¯s own war zone. If you don¡¯t speak again, you will be sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, and it will be your own shame, even for the Kwantung Army.  All of us must fight to the death with the Soviet army.

    Thinking of this, Nanjiro wanted to stand up and state his point of view. Of course, he was the one who took the lead. Before he could stand up, he received a heavy kick on his left calf. He turned his head and looked over in surprise.  , the Minister of War, General Koichi Mineuchi, sitting next to him, pursed his lips tightly with an expressionless expression, and there was no wave on his face, but Nanjiro knew that the one who kicked him must be the top boss of the army.  .

    This kick was like a needle pricking the bulging balloon. General Nanjiro's passionate blood suddenly poured out. His heated mind instantly dropped to freezing point. He was secretly afraid of his actions. It was so dangerous.  , almost made a splash.

    ¡°Just imagine, which of the big guys here is not more powerful than you, or has more political experience than you, would they not think of this?  Definitely not, the water here is very deep!

    He was not in the center of power, and he didn't know the intricate relationships therein, let alone the depth of the water. If he jumped in rashly, he would have to choke on his mouth a few times to avoid being drowned. General Nanjiro thought to himself in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but thank Koichi Minai for this key point.  His kick was equivalent to saving his life.

    The atmosphere of the meeting was solid and awkward. Others could make clay carvings and wood sculptures. However, the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, Prince Kanin Miyazaishihito, could not remain silent any longer because the eyes of his brother, the Emperor, were already fixed on him.  If you don't speak, you won't be able to escape.

    With Prince Zairen¡¯s cunning and scheming, of course he knew why these civil and military ministers, who were usually talkative, remained silent. In fact, he was also in a dilemma, but it was definitely impossible not to speak.

    Prince Zaihi stood up slowly, looked at Emperor Hirohito, and said carefully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, gentlemen, the situation in the Far East is very clear. Stalin has sent out more than four million troops to eliminate all the enemies in one fell swoop.  There are all factors that threaten the Soviet Union's eastern territory, that is to say, the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the Outer Mongolia region and our Kwantung Army troops on the front line of the Xing'an Mountains will inevitably become targets for the Soviets. "

    Prince Zai Ren did have a few words. What he said was thorough and to the point, but it was no different from nonsense. The big guys here are not all confused. They can still see the situation in the Far East. His Majesty the Emperor wants to  Solutions, not situation analysis.

    Prince Zai Ren also felt the impatience and disdain of the big bosses, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued: "Gentlemen, when faced with the Soviet troops pressing on the border, the Kwantung Army alone will definitely be unable to compete.  , the empire involved too much energy in the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific and was unable to mobilize troops to support the Far East battlefield. Judging from the direction of the Soviet army's concentration, the attack should start from the west of the Ural Mountains. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops in the Outer Mongolia region  , will bear the brunt of the Soviet attack."

    "For today's plan, our Empire of Japan's countermeasures should be like this. The Kwantung Army troops will stay put, maintain the status quo, and wait and see the development of the battlefield situation. If Tang Qiuli's troops are quickly defeated by the Soviet army, we will make further decisions based on specific conditions.  According to the situation of the war, take corresponding countermeasures.¡±

    "If the troops of Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil, are fighting with the Soviet army for a long time, we might as well reach a secret agreement with the Soviets or the Chinese devil, and then send troops when both sides are exhausted.  Strive to defeat the other side, and my opinion is to reach a compromise with the China devil Tang Qiuli and jointly deal with the Soviets. It is the lesser of two evils. I don¡¯t know what His Majesty the Emperor and you gentlemen think of my suggestion.  ?¡±
