Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, both the Japanese navy and the army have succeeded repeatedly and fought smoothly. First, the navy, with its small cost, successfully attacked Pearl Harbor and buried the US Pacific Fleet on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  Americans extend their only arm to the Pacific.

    Later, under the command of the genius naval commander, Lieutenant General Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the task force, a large sea battle at Midway forced the Americans to piece together the Pacific Fleet that had been restored, and was buried again in the  Amid the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Navy was already severely weakened, and not a single sampan dared to leave the port. From then on, only the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy were cruising freely on the vast Pacific Ocean!

    If the Australian battlefield had not been fought for a long time, and the Imperial Army was fighting in the Far East and Australian battlefields at the same time, and the Southwest Pacific dispatched troops were temporarily unable to withdraw, perhaps the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet had already sailed to the west coast of the United States, and San Francisco might have intervened.  Up the sun flag!

    Then came the Army, which successively captured the Southwest Pacific Islands and wiped out almost all the U.S. military power in the Southwest Pacific. MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Southwest Pacific Theater, fled to Australia in embarrassment. Later, the Imperial Army  Troops were sent to the Australian continent, forcing the allied forces of Britain, the United States, Australia, and the Philippines to passively respond, and were beaten by the imperial army to the point where they could not hold their heads high.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But, as an important minister of the army.  The Minister of War, General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, an iconic figure of the Imperial Army, made such a pessimistic statement. How could it not be shocking and puzzling? Even His Majesty the Emperor was shocked to the point of shaking his body, and then, "Buzzing"  "The discussion spread in the hall, but.  No one has stood up to speak. The depth of the water has not yet been fully understood. These military leaders are not fuel-efficient lamps.  Talking with a hook is a mistake.  Maybe he became a victim.

    Let¡¯s wait and see what happens.  Although there was still buzzing discussion, a solid and depressing atmosphere spread in the hall, especially His Majesty the Emperor's already somewhat bruised face.  The storm is coming. At this time, whoever takes the lead will be shot!

    Prince Zai Ren.  He also raised his eyelids in surprise, glanced at Minai Guangyi with cold eyes, and secretly wondered, "This old guy has always been cunning and cunning. He talks about people and tells ghosts. He is a well-rounded and scheming guy. Why is he so uncharacteristic of himself today?"  What¡¯s the purpose of making such an argument?¡±

    Immediately, a cloud of doubt arose in Zai Ren's mind, and he considered it more deeply. In order to compete for control of the Imperial Army, the two of them had been scheming and stumbling behind each other's back. However, the emperor brother was in a mutual position.  For the sake of checks and balances, they don¡¯t want one family to dominate, even if they are themselves. Therefore, the two of them are evenly matched in the imperial world, and no one can do anything to the other!

    According to common sense, in the Southwest Pacific War, although the Australian battlefield was dominated by the Army, it was the Navy that took the lead. Even Genzaburo Ito had to look at the Navy's face to act. After all, compared with the vast Pacific Ocean, the Australian continent  , the area is still too small. Without the navy to cut off the connection between the Australian mainland and the United States, Ito Yanzaburo would not be able to fight without scruples on the Australian mainland!

    Moreover, the decision to shift the empire's strategic direction to the Pacific was also strongly advocated by the navy. Therefore, even if the empire achieves a comprehensive victory in the Southwest Pacific War, the garland of victory and the glory of the jihadist heroes will still be worn on the head of the navy, but not the army.  It's just a supporting role. What good does it do Koichi Mineuchi, a cunning guy, to emphasize the importance of the Pacific battlefield?

    Regarding Minai Koichi's anomaly, Prince Zain had to break it apart and crush it into pieces to analyze and judge, trying to find out this guy's true intentions. In just a few minutes, it can be said that he worked hard and racked his brains.  Brain, suddenly, a bright light flashed in his mind, and the doubts in Prince Zai Ren's heart suddenly became clear, and he seemed to have realized something, "Kwantung Army, this must be the reason!"

    There was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Prince Zai Ren's mouth, and he thought with some contempt in his heart: "We will not hesitate to add icing on the cake to the navy, but we must also prevent the war in the Far East from continuing or expanding. This guy Minai has this idea. Kanto  The army is the capital of Mi Neguang¡¯s family!¡±

    "If we continue to use troops against the Soviets, or even join forces with the Germans in the Soviet Union, then the Kwantung Army, which has been tasked with fighting the Soviets, will have the unshirkable responsibility to serve as the main force in fighting the Soviets. Given the current situation of the Kwantung Army, it is covered with wounds and wounds.  After losing troops and generals, Mitsumi was worried that the Kwantung Army wouldIn the battle against the Soviet Union, he was exhausted and lost all the capital to fight for power and profit with himself!  "

    Prince Zai Ren is indeed a person, and he can clearly understand the little thoughts of Minai Koichi like a cocoon. However, the equally cunning and cunning Zai Ren will never boldly come forward to attack Minai Koichi in this situation.  A small trick to reveal Minai Koichi's thoughts, but not to the point of breaking out.

    Furthermore, the Kwantung Army is also an elite force of the Imperial Army. No matter what, it is not our army. He feels sad for the loss. Zai Ren thinks that he has not yet done it and hopes that the Kwantung Army will disappear.  However, I am quite dissatisfied with the way Koichi Yonai conserves his strength and ignores the actual situation on the Far East battlefield. Is it obviously a missed opportunity?

    For his own selfish interests, he ignored the overall situation and missed a good opportunity to severely damage the Soviet army. For this reason alone, Prince Zairen despised Miuchi Miuchi very much. However, it seemed that he did not need to fire the cannons himself. Looking at the emperor's face, his face was already a bit livid.  , the light in his eyes flashed, obviously very disapproving, and very angry at Minai Koichi's words.

    If Minai Koichi stumbles in front of the emperor, he would be happy to see it. Therefore, Prince Zairen made up his mind to continue to remain silent. The bosses of his faction had no intention of speaking when they saw the leader.  Just keep your mouth shut. As for the Navy, some people offered ready-made benefits with both hands and were happy to accept them all, especially when the other party was one of the two biggest players in the Army!

    The Navy is only enjoying themselves secretly, so it would jump out to oppose it. Isn¡¯t that a fool?  If we were not discussing the combat issues of the Army, adhering to the tenet of saying too much, some generals in the Navy would definitely jump out and support Koichi Minai's words, and compose a land song within the Imperial Army.  A new chapter in the harmonious coexistence of the navy, maybe we can go drinking sake and having sex with prostitutes together in the evening.

    Emperor Hirohito's face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm. He originally thought that since Koichi Mineuchi, as one of the giants of the army system and a respected patriarch of the empire, disapproved of the young soldiers' aggressive plan, it was natural that he had reason to do so. At the very least, he  , will also come up with more clever policies, which can bite the Soviets hard without losing the Imperial Army. Who knows, he didn't hold back his words when he opened his mouth. It is unanimously recognized by the Empire that the victory in the Southwest Pacific Battlefield is  , pouring cold water on the excitement that is just around the corner!

    To put it more seriously, he was pessimistic about the prospect of the empire's overseas operations and had the malicious intention of shaking the morale of the military. "Is this what a minister of war should say? I am very disappointed!" Emperor Hirohito gritted his teeth secretly and thought, "  Minai Qing, your words are a bit sensational, but I still hope you can give us a suitable explanation."

    Hirohito did not fully say the following words, but the Japanese civil and military ministers present were all so smart that they could not hear the subtext of His Majesty the Emperor. If there is no justifiable reason for the heavy artillery fired by Miuchi Yoneuchi, I am afraid that  , from the moment you walk out of the palace, you can spend the rest of your life retiring at home!

    Miuchi Minai was not panicked and seemed not to notice the murderous intention hidden in His Majesty the Emperor's words. He still said quietly: "His Majesty the Emperor, all armies, on the Australian battlefield, our Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan has the upper hand.  Although the Allied forces have been suppressed, why the war has not been ended so far. The Allies are like cockroaches that cannot be killed. Is it because the Allied forces have strong combat effectiveness, or is it that the Imperial Japanese Army has a weak combat effectiveness? Could it be that the reason is that we don¡¯t know if we reflect on it.  ?"

    Now that the drama is coming, all the civil and military ministers, including Emperor Hirohito, are holding their ears open to see how the Minister of War who fired the heavy artillery will burst into tears, "The fundamental reason is that although the Imperial Navy has cut off  The connection between Australia and the United States, however, the Allied troops on the Australian battlefield are not alone. They have received a steady stream of soldiers and supplies from the Indian mainland! "

    "Although the blood vessels from the mainland of the United States were cut off, the Allied forces had blood transfusions from the Indian continent. Therefore, the Empire's Southwest Pacific dispatched troops, although they were brave and good at fighting and took the initiative on the battlefield, wanted to end the Australian War in a short time.  But it is impossible. We must be based on preparations for a long and fierce battle, gradually wear down the strength of the Allied forces, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop. This is the fundamental reason why I do not agree with the deep attack on the Soviet Union! "

    "The empire's limited war resources can only be poured into one strategic direction. The proposal to advance northward deep into the Soviet territory and join forces with the Germans in the central Soviet Union is not only dangerous, but also will lead to a weak follow-up of the offensive in the Southwest Pacific battlefield.  Ultimately leading to the failure of the empire's overall strategic concept!" At this point, Mineuchi paused to take a breath, and his endless discussion was really a waste of saliva and brain cells. Let's see the reaction of His Majesty the Emperor and those other guys?
