Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and Prince Zaihi, the chief of general staff of the base camp and commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, were shocked and angry by this cold order. When he calmed down, he did not believe that he could be the same as Miuchi Miuchi.  Your Excellency, Prince Zai Ren, who is fighting at the top of the imperial world, would be so blatantly borrowing a knife to kill someone, it's so impressive!

    Since it is not to kill someone with a borrowed knife, what is Prince Zairen¡¯s purpose?  In the same way, Prince Zai Ren, who is known for his cleverness and scheming, will not do anything in vain!

    General Nanjiro's thoughts shuttled through his mind like lightning. He looked at the entire Far East battlefield and thought of the Far East Dispatch Army and the North Korean garrison troops who had left Manchuria and rushed to rescue the Kwantung Army. After entering the Far East region, they mysteriously  has lost its trace, and then think about it, Zhukov's troops have shown signs of withdrawing from the battlefield in recent days, and the previous order ordered the Kwantung Army to counterattack. Many factors combined, General Nanjiro's eyes gradually became suspicious.  When Liang came forward, he seemed to have seen through Prince Zai Ren's clever move, and it was even more ruthless.

    Prince Zai Ren wanted to encircle Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army on the current battlefield. In General Nanjiro's mind, a three-dimensional picture was sketched. Together with the Kwantung Army troops and the three armies of the Empire of Japan, they would be surrounded by Zhukov's army.  The Far Eastern Front was encircled on the plain battlefield between the Burya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains. So, for the Japanese Empire, this was an unprecedented and huge victory!

    From this, the Kwantung Army can also take revenge and recover the blood debt of more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers from the Soviets. Without Prince Zai Ren's layout, the Kwantung Army can only watch with gritted teeth based on its own strength.  Following Zhukov's troops, after massacring the Kwantung Army soldiers, they left safely from the Far East battlefield.  The Kwantung Army cannot miss such an opportunity.

    After calculating all this, General Nanjiro began to weigh the pros and cons of the Kwantung Army's participation in this major battle. On the surface, given the current situation of the Kwantung Army, investing all its forces and taking the initiative to attack the Soviet army was almost seeking death. In fact, it was almost like seeking death.  Taking into account Prince Zain's Far East campaign plan, we are not so pessimistic.

    The reason why Prince Zai Ren issued such an order was because he was afraid of Zhukov's troops and withdrew from the Far East battlefield in advance, thus losing the opportunity and favorable conditions for encirclement.  Zhukov can definitely do this with the other two troops.  Still rushing hard.  The only ones who can entangle Zhukov's troops are the Kwantung Army troops who are now exhausted. Prince Zai Ren is also helpless. He is very clear about the consequences of doing so.

    The Kwantung Army's attack cannot last too long, so.  The Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean troops stationed in India will inevitably be ordered to travel day and night to arrive as quickly as possible, otherwise.  Once the Kwantung Army's offensive fails, not only will all Zhukov's troops withdraw from the Far East battlefield, but the remaining Kwantung Army troops will also be brought in. Prince Zai Ren still cannot afford such consequences!

    In other words, the Kwantung Army only needs to maintain its offensive posture for two or three days, which is enough. General Nanjiro carefully weighed the consequences of doing so and concluded that with the Kwantung Army's existing strength,  Sustaining a full-line offensive for two or three days is not a problem. Of course, after this battle, the remaining Kwantung Army troops may be less than one-fifth of what they were during the complete victory period. However, big risks also mean big rewards.

    Next, what General Nanjiro has to consider is the issue of rewards. If Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army is completely wiped out in the Far East, the biggest contributors will not be Prince Zain, who is commanding from the center, nor the Far East Expeditionary Army and the Korean Resident Army.  , but the price paid by the Kwantung Army in each round, and the length of the bloody battle with the superior Soviet army, cannot be compared with that force. Neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the base camp can turn a blind eye to this.

    Next, the Kwantung Army will receive the greatest reward for its efforts. More importantly, Prince Zai Ren not only represents the base camp, but also represents His Majesty the Emperor. If he disobeys orders, Prince Zai Ren will openly punish him.  It is also reasonable to replace the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army with reasons and excuses. It is even worse if this important position falls into the hands of Prince Zairen and his family. Wouldn¡¯t it be a disservice to Mi?  The biggest blow to the cabinet?

    Nanjiro still had a little bit of his own thoughts in his heart. As an important general of the Imperial Japanese Army fighting overseas, General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, fought vigorously and smoothly.  Going with the flow, the Allied forces were scurrying away and were in a state of defense. He was also a general commanding more than one million imperial troops. Could he be worse than that guy Ito?

    What's more, Ito Genzaburo is a general of Prince Zaihito's line, and he cannot be compared with him. Moreover, the Far East battlefield is absolutely different from the Australian battlefield. Once the Kwantung Army plays a key role in the Far East campaign,  Not only can you get revenge, but it can also make you famous. Therefore, General Nanjiro came to the conclusion that although there are risks in executing the order, it is good.But more!

    In just a short period of ten minutes, General Nanjiro almost exhausted his efforts and thought as fast as breaking bones and sucking marrow. When he came to the conclusion, he was quite exhausted mentally and physically. And in General Nanjiro's decision about the fate of the Kwantung Army,  , while countless brain cells were being exhausted, at the same time when other Kwantung Army generals were preparing to attack Lieutenant General Shinno Ry¨±aki, there were several young officers with their command swords mostly unsheathed.

    General Nanjiro's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed through, "Well¡ª¡ª!" Full of coercion, he squeezed out a sound from his throat, and waved his right hand forcefully and briefly, as if  It was like a magical force. A dozen high-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army who were arrogant and full of murderous intent immediately retreated. The murderous intent in the headquarters was completely eliminated in an instant!

    Lieutenant General Shinno Ry¨±zhao felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. His whole body was limp and weak, his face was covered in cold sweat, and his throat was dry. He knew very well that the murderous intent just now that seemed to be real was not a threat. The Kwantung Army and the like  Guy, you really want to kill yourself!

    There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of General Nanjiro's mouth. He looked at the generals who were full of dissatisfaction but absolutely obeyed his orders. He nodded with satisfaction. Then, he looked at Lieutenant General Shinno Ryuaki with a gentle but gentle tone.  But he said without any respect: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you are the representative of Commander-in-Chief Zai Ren. I would like to hear your opinion on this order from His Highness the Prince?"

    Originally, General Nanjiro's words were unnecessary. As long as he made his own decision, it was fine. This guy Shinno was nothing. However, since he decided to carry out the order of Prince Zairen, then it was appropriate to treat this insignificant Chief of Staff.  To show some respect, at least on the surface, no one can find fault. The relationship between superiors and subordinates still needs to be paid attention to. Moreover, General Nanjiro is also extremely dissatisfied with Prince Zai Ren.

    If you have any plans, send me a telegram and explain it clearly. We have discussed it for a while and there are no problems anymore. It would be better for you to keep it secretive and pretend to be mysterious, as if you are afraid that I know. If you don¡¯t understand it,  The profound meaning behind the order, if you refuse to carry it out, or don't do your best, I'm afraid His Highness the Prince's drama will not be able to go on, and it will be kept for later, so that you, Prince Zain, won't be able to catch it at all!

    This shows the importance of communication. Although we are not just donkeys grazing in the same trough, nor can we say we have a good impression of each other, after all, we are both soldiers of the Empire of Japan and we both serve His Majesty the Emperor, so we have a little bit of affection for each other.  , There is really no need to do this pretense, but I still want to give you Prince Zai Ren enough face. Why don't you ask for the opinion of Chief of Staff Xinye!

    Lieutenant General Shinno Ryuaki was suddenly startled. This sudden respect from General Nanjiro obviously caught him by surprise. Twenty minutes ago, Lieutenant General Shinno, who had a sense of superiority as an imperial envoy, would have acted without hesitation.  Said, "What do you think? Since the Commander-in-Chief has issued an order, as Imperial Guardsmen, we shall execute it without hesitation! Even if we die in battle, we are sacrificing our lives for the Empire of Japan. It is the duty of Imperial Guardsmen to  Just divide it!¡±

    But the scene that just happened scared the courage of Lieutenant General Shinno. These Kwantung Army generals who were so bloody on the battlefield really dared to kill him. It was not fake, even though Nanjiro asked for his help.  Opinion, but looking at his half-smiling look, there is no sign of any respect for him as the chief of staff of the headquarters. It is obviously just a formality. If he still doesn't know his taste and still puts on a high profile, maybe that sentence  No, it choked the lungs of the Kwantung Army heroes again. When the time comes, no one can save themselves!

    Lieutenant General Shinno still understood the truth that disaster comes from the mouth. It is better to say nothing than to say nothing. Lieutenant General Shinno knew the right measure and smiled modestly and said: "Nanji-kun is joking. Your Excellency is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army.  As I bear the full command responsibility, I am only responsible for observing the progress of the battle. I will not interfere with the Kwantung Army's combat command. It is better for Nanji-kun to make his own decisions on such important matters!"

    These words were so slippery that he picked them off cleanly. General Nanjiro couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: "No wonder it is said that every time you take a step, you gain wisdom. It seems that this Chief of Staff Shinno just now  After eating it, I learned a lot! ¡±

    The words of Lieutenant General Shinno Ryuaki also made most of the Kwantung Army generals who had not dissipated their resentment towards him be stunned, as if they did not recognize him. They looked at the guy who was showing off his arrogance as the Chief of Staff of the headquarters more than 20 minutes ago. At the same time,  , I also heard that Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro wanted to carry out that ruthless guy Zai Ren¡¯s plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

    It was the Kwantung Army major general who was the first to take action to kill Lieutenant General Shinno, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please think twice. This is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers. You cannot  . . . Don¡¯t have your own way!
