    Prince Zai Ren, the chief of general staff of the Japanese base camp and commander of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, is now in a dilemma. He can understand Tang Qiuli's strategy, and can even clearly arrange Tang Qiuli's plans and attack methods.  Rhythm.

    The Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula are definitely unavoidable, and these two areas are precisely the weaknesses of the Imperial Japanese Army in the northern region. Since the Far East Campaign, the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army suffered heavy casualties.  , although I, including the base camp, have tried their best to recruit soldiers from the mainland and work hard to restore the Kwantung Army's strength as soon as possible, but the time is still short and the Kwantung Army, which has lost too much blood, will not be able to return to its heyday in the short term.  level.

    Given time, the Kwantung Army will surely recover. However, that insidious and cunning Chinese devil did not give the Kwantung Army time to recover. With three main field corps, the Kwantung Army deployed troops on the western and northwestern borders of Manchuria. The Kwantung Army, which was already lacking in strength,  , was forced to be divided into three parts for strategic defense. Each defensive direction was at a disadvantage. Tang Qiuli's intention was obvious, which was to contain the Kwantung Army troops and prevent them from making rash moves.

    As for the Korean Peninsula, Prince Zain knew very well that Tanaka Shinichi's life was no better than that of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. The most elite main divisions were all forcibly assigned to the Far East Expeditionary Force.  In the order of battle, it became increasingly difficult to defend the Korean Peninsula with its long coastline. What was even worse was that Tanaka Shinichi's troops were scattered across the Korean Peninsula to eliminate the rat-like resistance forces.

    On the battlefield in the Far East, the Far East Expeditionary Force, under his personal command, could barely compete with Liu Tiehan's troops in the East Command of the Independent Division, but Prince Zai Ren knew very well.  This is just a temporary tie. No one knows what the Chinese devil will do next.

    Therefore, the current situation in the Far East battlefield is in a stalemate. Not a single soldier of the Far East Expeditionary Force can move. They know Tang Qiuli's plan and the attack target and direction of the independent division troops, but.  There was just no way to solve it, and Prince Zai Ren felt extremely agitated.

    ¡°All of this may be caused by my own decision to reoccupy the Far East, if the Far East dispatched troops to stay in Manchuria.  Tang Qiuli neither knew nor dared to attack easily.  But Prince Jae-in has no regrets.  The significance of the Far East to himself and to his domestic political and military status are self-evident. Even if given a chance to make a new choice, Prince Zai Ren will still do so!

    From the perspective of the large battlefield, Tang Qiuli is setting up a situation for himself.  Including dispatching Liu Tiehan's East Point troops to assume a head-on posture, which is to hold back the Far East dispatched troops and prevent them from returning to Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula.  Sending heavy troops to contain the Kwantung Army's troops so that they could not be separated, and choosing the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula as the direction of attack concentrated their vital points.

    This is a strict and ruthless layout. Because he saw through Tang Qiuli's plot, Prince Zairen was extremely distressed. The lack of troops was his biggest shortcoming. However, for Nanjiro and Tanaka Shinichi, he recruited two  Prince Zain was very appreciative of the initiative of local Japanese civilians participating in the war. Only in this way can the problem of insufficient military strength of the imperial army be quickly made up. Although those civilians who have not received any military training and are pushed onto the battlefield are undoubtedly the role of cannon fodder.  However, it is enough to at least slow down the attack speed of the independent division troops.

    Prince Zai Ren still had some calculations in mind. The total strength of the Kwantung Army and the North Korean garrison should reach about 1.4 million. Even if it faced an attack by the independent division, under normal circumstances, it would last for several months.  , is not a problem. At that time, local reserve soldiers will continue to go to the battlefield, using all the strength of the country to engage in a decisive battle with Tang Qiuli's troops in Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. It is not yet known who will win?

    Prince Zain did not intend to change the defense plan reported by General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. Although in his own opinion, Nanjiro made a fundamental mistake in judging the direction of attack of the independent division troops, but Manchuria  The three independent division field corps on the border are a real threat. Once the Kwantung Army deploys troops at a certain point to strengthen the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula, then it is very likely that the China Devil will attack in the main direction.  Fall on this point.

    Based on Prince Zairen's understanding of Tang Qiuli, it is possible that this Chinese devil is full of scheming tactics and can never succeed in using troops, so he can only attack when he is restrained. Perhaps, he is somewhere in Manchuria, glaring with eyes as cold as a poisonous snake,  Keep an eye on the transfer of Kwantung Army troops to the Liaodong Peninsula?  Prince Zai Ren did not dare to take risks and ordered Nanjiro to divide his troops to reinforce the Liaodong Peninsula.

    As for the defense plan of General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the North Korean garrison, Prince Zain did not want to point fingers. It was obvious that Tanaka Shinichi was short of troops, and he was the least concerned.?This is what satisfies him. After thinking about it, Prince Zairen realized that as the commander of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, he was beyond his control over the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. The Far East battlefield alone was enough for him to worry about.

    Rather than maintaining a nominal command authority, it is better to let go and let Tanaka Shinichi and Nanjiro proceed according to their own arrangements. Therefore, Prince Zain made this clear in his reply to the two people, "Two people.  Jun Jun is an unparalleled talent in the Imperial Japanese Army and has his own unique insights and strategies for the current war situation. When China's devil's army invades the country, you should be given arbitrary power!"

    "In order to adapt to the new changes on the battlefield, as the chief of the general staff of the base camp and the commander of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, I have decided that Tanaka-kun will be independently responsible for the overall defense of the Korean peninsula. The battle plan does not need to be reported to the headquarters for approval. Nanji-kun will be independently responsible for the overall defense of the Korean Peninsula.  Responsible for the overall defense of Manchuria, and determines the combat plan on its own without having to report it to the headquarters for approval!¡±

    "At this time when the war situation is complicated, the two gentlemen and I are serving the Empire of Japan on different battlefields. This is also the situation and it is in line with the actual situation. From now on, the two gentlemen can report directly to the base camp for all military affairs!"

    In a word, Prince Zain has delegated power, and he has delegated it very thoroughly. You, Tanaka Shinichi and Nanjiro, are in their respective defense zones, so go ahead and mess around. I, Zai Ren, will not interfere!

    As for why Prince Zai Ren made this decision, other senior officers at the Far East Campaign Headquarters were very puzzled. At first, His Royal Highness the Prince made many moves in order to gain command of the Imperial Army in the Far East, Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula.  With hands and feet, they finally managed to capture the rebellious Kwantung Army and the seemingly incompatible North Korean garrison army, but why did they let go so easily?

    However, Major General Yamada, the chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, did see some mystery. His Highness the Prince reluctantly delegated power at this critical moment. It was a helpless move. There was a lot of evasion of responsibility. Of course, Major General Yamada would not tell the truth.  , In fact, even Prince Zai Ren himself was heartbroken and bleeding.

    In addition to granting independent command rights to General Tanaka and General Nanjiro, Prince Zain cannot stand idly by. If there is a problem in Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula, even if he delegates power, he will still be involved. After all, in terms of the order of operations, the Kwantung Army and the  The North Korean garrison is still under its own control.

    After calling back to Tanaka Shinichi and Nanjiro, he, as the chief of general staff of the base camp, ordered the base camp reserve headquarters to quickly form five first-class divisions within a month, all of which would be used to reinforce the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula.  , In addition, he also ordered the Army Department of the base camp to mobilize five fighter wings and three bomber wings from the Kyushu Army Air Force Base of the Home Air Defense Command and place them under the command of the North Korean garrison. He knew what Tanaka Shinichi needed most!

    Originally, Prince Zain planned to deploy the mobilized army aviation forces directly on the Korean Peninsula. However, the land-based airports on the Korean Peninsula were blown to pieces by the independent division aviation and could not be put into use for more than half a year. Therefore,  , these mobilized combat aircraft can only be stationed at the original airport. Although the effect of fighting across the Korean Strait is not very satisfactory, it can only be so.

    Prince Zai Ren also planned to inform the Navy Ministry to mobilize the Imperial Navy's Fourth Fleet and quickly sail to the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. However, the Imperial Navy fleet was committed to the Pacific battlefield and fought fiercely with the U.S. Navy fleet from a distance.  Water can't quench his thirst, and even if he arrives, it will be half a month later. Besides, Prince Zai Ren has a headache when he thinks about having to deal with those guys in the navy.

    Although he is the chief of general staff of the base camp, he cannot do whatever he wants with the navy like the army. The navy has its own system and he cannot get involved. All orders cannot be given in the form of orders, but only in the form of notifications. Since he is helping  If you are not busy, then why should you put down your dignity and make amends with those guys in the navy?

    After working together, Prince Zai Ren was so exhausted that he felt as if he was exhausted. Chief of Staff Yamada made the right suggestion, asking the Commander-in-Chief to take a rest. He was on duty in the war room of the headquarters. If there were any urgent military matters, report them immediately!

    The reply from Prince Zain soon reached the hands of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the Korean garrison army. After reading the telegram, General Nanjiro said nothing for a long time,  "His Royal Highness is really good at judging the situation, delegating power at the right time, so that he can escape from the golden cicada's shell, which is a shameful deed! Humph!" The last sneer revealed General Nanjiro's heartfelt contempt for Prince Zai Ren at this moment.

    Regarding the quarrel between his boss and Prince Zain, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro did not want to get involved at all. If the two giants were fighting each other, if he got involved himself, he might die without knowing how?
