    After Prince Zai Ren dictated the telegram and recorded it, Major General Yamada couldn't help but be stunned, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. How should I put it, the content of His Royal Highness the Prince's reply to General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, was too¡ª¡ª  That one?

    What's wrong?  It is not in line with His Royal Highness the Prince's consistent style. In terms of position, he is the Chief of General Staff of the base camp and one of the giants of the Empire. Now, he commands the largest military group in the Empire. In terms of status, he is a close relative of His Majesty the Emperor.  Younger brother, and there is no one else who has the noblest blood in him, and his status is so prominent within the empire. It goes without saying that, broadly speaking, the entire empire of Japan belongs to the two brothers. Their behavior and demeanor are naturally  The dignity and pride of the royal family.  .

    Normally, he is naturally amiable to his subordinates, but anyone who ignores His Royal Highness's identity is asking for trouble. There is no need to wait, he will be there soon, but now, for a commander of the troops under his jurisdiction, he is like this  His low profile, to put it more seriously, is a sign of self-degradation, and it has a strong sense of bending and bending. It even means a bit of flattery, and it's a bit disgusting!

    "However, Minister Yamada is an old man after all, and he immediately caught a hint of the mystery. "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness is interested in the Kwantung Army! Otherwise, he would not have such a low profile!" He secretly guessed.

    Major General Yamada's momentary astonishment did not escape the eyes of Prince Zai Ren, who was as cunning as a fox. He also felt that the contents of the telegram he dictated were a bit distorted, which made this extraordinary subordinate feel a strange smell and concealed explanation.  Said: "Nanji-kun is a rare general of the Imperial Army. He is able to use his troops, who have been exhausted from long battles, to win the Far East campaign without hesitation to attack the strong with the weak again. The dangers involved are really unpredictable. Even so,  , Nanci-kun still takes the overall situation into consideration and executes orders without hesitation. His heart and ambition are praiseworthy, and he is worthy of our respect and imitation!"

    Who is Major General Yamada? Otherwise, he would not have suddenly risen to a higher position just because of a step. He is a man with clear eyebrows. How could he not understand what Prince Zai Ren meant? Of course, he cannot explain it, nor can he act ignorant.  , the scale of the period is very important, and it pays great attention to skills. The flattery is patted everywhere, without leaving any traces or fireworks. The person being photographed looks like a spring breeze, and the whole body is healthy, and the pores all over the body are open. This is the highest state of flattery!

    Major General Yamada said in awe: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, your words should be regarded as the motto of the imperial generals. General Nanjiro's move can be said to have laid the foundation for the victory of your Far East campaign plan. Such a commander,  Such an army, with a leader who is extremely capable, holds a high position, has a far-sighted vision and has a strategic vision, will surely become a more powerful force and become a victorious force, fighting in all directions for the Japanese Empire!"

    Zai Ren smiled. He understood the meaning of Yamada's words and also knew that this shrewd guy probably knew what he was thinking. "Based on this, Yamada's ability is higher than that elm-headed guy in Shinno."  He is a more suitable candidate for Chief of Staff!" He thought to himself.

    Having achieved each other's goals, Yamada said goodbye knowingly. As soon as he reached the door of the office, before he could go out, he was stopped by Prince Zai Ren, "Yamada-kun, please wait a moment, since the Kwantung Army has carried out the order of the headquarters.  , it won¡¯t make much sense for Shinno-kun to stay at the Kwantung Army Headquarters. General Nanjiro can also command the troops freely. I plan to transfer Shinno-kun back to the headquarters. Do you have any suggestions, Yamada-kun? "

    Of course, Yamada was not happy about the suggestion. As the head of the General Staff Headquarters who acted as the acting chief of staff, he had only been in power for a few days and had not yet experienced the pleasure that power brings. Soon, his actual boss would return to the headquarters.  , will His Highness the Prince still ask for his opinion on everything, and will he still rely on himself so much? After all, that guy Xinye is the real chief of staff, and he can't stand across the pot, table and kang. In the future, he will still have to mess around.  ?

    However, such thoughts cannot be expressed. Yamada pretended to think for a while and said cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief, the staff feels it is inappropriate. Chief of Staff Ninye is stationed at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and he actually has the responsibility of supervising the army.  , after General Nanjiro called and clearly stated that he obeyed the order, he transferred Chief of Staff Niino back. If it was too revealing, it would cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the Kwantung Army, thinking that Chief of Staff Niino was sent to monitor them! "

    "Oh?" Prince Zairen looked slightly surprised and looked at Major General Yamada with burning eyes, "Yamada-kun, what do you think?"

    Yamada also appeared very cautious and said: "The staff believes that Chief of Staff Shinno can continue to stay at the Kwantung Army Headquarters. However, the Commander-in-Chief is required to send a secret telegram to restrain his behavior. He is only responsible for observation.  responsibility and shall not interfere with the Kwantung Army¡¯s combat operations.¡±

    Prince Zai Ren nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Yamada-kun is thoughtful. My main focus is on the Far East campaign. In my name, you canSend a telegram to Chief of Staff Shinye. The specific content is the suggestion you just made. How to word it is up to you!  "

    Major General Yamada bowed and exited. A playful smile appeared on Prince Zairen's face. What he didn't see was that Major General Yamada closed the office door with a cold smile on his face, "Xinye Ryuaki, hum, you  It's time for the chief of staff to do his best! It's not me, but you are too stupid!" Within the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Shinno was completely marginalized. Now, His Royal Highness hangs him up again, and both parties are miserable.  , even if you stay on the throne of chief of staff, what should you do?

    In the Far East battlefield, the temporary headquarters of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, a large tent was erected in an open space between mountain cols. This is the venue for the upcoming emergency military meeting. The war room of the General Headquarters with its strong shelter is too small.  There were no less than nearly a hundred senior officers, so the staff came up with such an idea. They originally thought that Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro would be very dissatisfied.

    But in a hurry, he could only do this. He was anxiously waiting for the Commander-in-Chief to get angry. After the report, the Chief of Staff wanted to tuck his head into his crotch, just waiting to be scolded. Unexpectedly, General Nanjiro  He actually praised this approach and said, "Go to the West! - It's great! It's very creative. Holding a military meeting amidst the roar of cannons will keep many people's minds highly alert!"

    The military meeting has not yet begun. It is said to be in the rear, but in fact it is almost the same as the front. There is the roar of artillery outside. In the dark sky, there are intertwined dark red trajectories dragged by Soviet and Japanese artillery shells. The artillery shells scratch  The air, with a harsh scream, passed overhead. From time to time, a few Soviet large-caliber howitzer shells were fired. I don't know if they deviated from the ballistic trajectory or captured the target. They exploded not far away from the tent, and for a while  The mountains are shaken.

    The mud stirred up by the explosion of the artillery shells fell "swishingly" onto the tent, and the firelight shone, reflecting the dull faces of the Kwantung Army soldiers in charge of the guards, a senior Kwantung Army general, wearing a dirty general uniform, or  Riding a car or riding a horse, with the smell of gunpowder all over your body, a tired look, and nervous speculation and confusion, you hurried back from the bloody battlefield with a murderous look on your face.

    Similar night battle scenes are commonplace for these Japanese officers who, even if they are still alive, are still hanging on for a life. When they open their eyes, they don't know whether they can survive today and see the sun tomorrow. The shells are dozens of meters away from them.  After the explosion, he didn't even frown, let alone have any interest in paying attention. After fighting the Soviet army for nearly a month, were there not many generals who fell on the battlefield?

    But for Lieutenant General Shinno who was invited to attend the military meeting, he was frightened. In the past, he had been commanding thousands of troops of the Japanese Empire in the spacious and bright office of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters in the base camp. It was an imaginary thing.  In the scene in the video, I stayed in the strong shelter for more than ten days after arriving at the Kwantung Army Headquarters. The roaring sound of artillery was isolated by the shelter, so it didn't feel too big!

    According to the words of the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff Shinno, you are your superior from the headquarters. Regarding your safety, Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro has made special instructions to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Therefore, please do not leave without my permission."  Shelter Department!" Seeing Lieutenant General Shinno's face not looking good, he explained: "Please don't misunderstand, the Soviet army's large-caliber artillery shells will often fall near the headquarters. If you don't understand the rules, I'm worried that something unexpected will happen to you!  "

    Having said this, Chief of Staff Shinno's face looked better, and he felt relieved. Since General Nanjiro was full of heart and good intentions, he was happy to accept it. The Soviet artillery shells did not have eyes and could not be distinguished.  Are you a lieutenant general or a private?

    Now, crawling out of the strong shelter and coming to the ground, what you smell in your nose is the smell of gunpowder smoke that makes your throat burn, and the smell of blood that cannot be blown away even by the strong night wind.  , what the ears heard was a huge roar like scorching thunder, and the shriek of flying shrapnel. What the eyes saw were ballistic trajectories filling the night sky, and flashing firelights. With the firelight and loud noises, they soared into the sky.  A huge plume of smoke!

    Even though Shinno Ryuaki holds the rank of lieutenant general, when it comes to his battlefield experience, he is a true rookie. As soon as he joins the real battlefield, his calves can't help but tremble, and his eyes can no longer function. Every sound  The explosion of the artillery shells made him shrink back in fright. Every time the fire flashed, it dazzled his eyes. His head was dizzy and there was nothing under his feet. The ground was uneven and full of craters, which made the lieutenant general  Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, stepped forward and fell forward.

    Lieutenant General Shinno's fall was so hard that he actually fell to the ground. His face was like a knife, and he came into close contact with the cold ground. He almost knocked off his front teeth. This was his own fault.  , They stared intently at the fire caused by the explosion of artillery shells far and near, fearing that it would fall next to them, they did not care.?Underfoot.

    The fall was so hard that stars were flying in front of Lieutenant General Shinno¡¯s eyes, and the anger in his heart was suddenly ignited.
