Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Nanjiro, the former commander-in-chief of Japan's Kwantung Army and current deputy military affairs officer at the base camp, who participated in the emperor's imperial meeting, could not help but be frightened and sweaty because the real purpose of this imperial meeting had a direct relationship with him.

    The war situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to the point where it is beyond control. At the critical moment, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, mysteriously disappeared again and his whereabouts are unknown. As a result, the Kwantung Army is now leaderless. However, His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will never allow the situation in Manchuria to continue to deteriorate.  Go ahead and let go. In this case, it is inevitable that a heavyweight army general will rush to Manchuria to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in order to stabilize the situation.

    Among all the civil and military officials who participated in the meeting, there was no one more suitable than myself. His Majesty the Emperor knew it clearly, so he specially named himself to participate in the imperial meeting. The smiling tiger-faced Koichi Minai knew even better, so he had  After hearing the conversation before the meeting, how could General Nanjiro not be frightened by this thought?

    The current Manchuria is not the Manchuria of a few months ago, let alone the Manchuria of a few years ago. It is a big quagmire, a broken ship leaking everywhere and sinking. The decline is irreversible and the fall is inevitable. No matter who steps in  If you go in, you will be sunk. If you can't do it, neither can any high-ranking general in the imperial military. Even if Amaterasu comes in person, you can't do it!

    Unless, unless the empire dispatches at least one million elite divisions to Manchuria to relieve the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning and Western Manchuria and break through the encirclement, it can be done and it will be enough to stabilize the situation in Manchuria.  But if all the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli are driven out of Manchuria.  It is more difficult than reaching the sky!

    But the reality is that the Empire of Japan can no longer recruit one million well-trained soldiers and march to Manchuria. As the deputy military affairs officer of the base camp, his job is to form new divisions in the country, which is detrimental to the empire's family fortune.  He knew very well that the two major battlefields of the Pacific and the North had already reduced the empire's war potential.  The excavation has almost reached its limit, especially the problem of soldier resources.

    The empire¡¯s conscription bill has been relaxed to the extreme. The age for joining the army ranges from sixteen to forty-five. Almost all men in the empire have been conscripted into the army.  After three months of training for new recruits, they have to go to the battlefield. The Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific does not consume a lot of soldiers, mainly on the battlefields in the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria and the Far East.  During the battle with the independent division troops.

    The three battlefields in the north are like bottomless pits. No matter how many imperial soldiers are filled in, it will not help. From the southwest Pacific islands.  Of the six divisions transferred back to the mainland, four of them formed the Third Army and arrived in Manchuria.  As a result, the entire army was wiped out in the Liaodong Peninsula. The other two divisions, plus the two newly formed local divisions, were put into the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. They failed to change the situation on the battlefield and were being consumed every day!

    Of course, General Nanjiro knew the reason why the Third Army was destroyed on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. Before he left the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he still had the "Liaodong Peninsula Counterattack Plan" on paper. Umezu Yoshijiro looked at it.  My heart was moved, and I saw that it was an excellent opportunity to reverse the situation in Manchuria, so I couldn't wait to start working on it, and only then did all the members of the Third Army get defeated!

    In other words, he was the instigator of the defeat of the Third Army on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield and the death of more than 100,000 elite imperial soldiers on the battlefield. However, General Nanjiro did not feel guilty at all. The plan was seamless, and the key lies in the person who executes the plan.  , if the Liaodong Peninsula counterattack were fought under his own command, even if he could not win, he would not involve the Third Army!

    The general staff of the base camp sends telegrams to the military affairs department every day, all of which are for reinforcements. General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the North Korean garrison, sends out urgent telegrams a day asking for reinforcements. Prince Zain, who is on the battlefield in the Far East, is also anxiously waiting for reinforcements.  , the battlefield in Manchuria requires astronomical numbers of reinforcements, but where will the reinforcements come from?

    It is not a production line. The machine can produce guns and ammunition when it is started. The reserve soldiers in the hands of General Nanjiro are only ten divisions at best, nearly 300,000 people, and they are all recruits who have been trained for less than two months.  With this small force, even if all of them were deployed on the battlefield in Manchuria, what role would more than one million well-trained, well-equipped, and fierce soldiers have in facing Tang Qiuli, who was called the nemesis of the Japanese Empire?

    Manchuria is a mess now, a mess that cannot be cleaned up, and it is also a big fire pit. Anyone who steps in will be burned to the point of being burned to the bone. General Nanjiro, all he can think about now is that once this drudgery falls to him  How to skillfully evade the situation after it is on your head is a task that requires political wisdom. In an instant, all the energy of General Nanjiro was mobilized. It can be said that he racked his brains and worked hard!

    General Nanjiro, who had his own plans, did not notice at all the cunning and depressing atmosphere at the meeting. The Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung ArmyUmezu Yoshijiro's memorial and Chief of General Staff Kenjiro Matsuda's telegram were circulated in the hands of almost every military and political official who attended the meeting. Everyone's expressions and thoughts were different, and some were so surprised that they almost fainted.  In the past, some had their mouths wide open and were stunned.

    Some are in disbelief and angry, some are full of fierce eyes and gnashing their teeth as if they want to kill someone. Emotions such as depression, hesitation, panic, confusion, murderous intent, anger, etc. are intertwined together, like substance, filling every inch of space. The huge  The emperor's palace is like the underworld, full of ghosts and evil spirits, and the officials look like bulls' heads and horses' faces, with different expressions!

    After the telegrams and memorials were circulated in the hands of the civil and military officials, more than ten minutes had passed. There was still silence in the palace. Emperor Hirohito's face was dull, his eyes were confused, and he did not know that this person who was sitting high on the dragon throne was still silent.  The demigod, what on earth was thinking in his mind, and General Koichi Minai, the number one man in the Japanese military, also frowned and tapped the table with his fingers uneasily.

    Finally, someone couldn't hold it any longer. A short and fat army lieutenant general in his forties jumped up, his face turned purple, walked a few steps from the back row to Emperor Hirohito's throne, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have you!"  Something to say!¡±

    Emperor Hirohito withdrew his confused eyes, looked at the army lieutenant general who was as cocky as a rooster, and said numbly: "This is Ai Qing Sada. As long as it is within the scope of the meeting, I can say anything."  It¡¯s okay to speak frankly, I¡¯ll take care of everything!¡±

    Lieutenant General Sada, who was the first to jump up, is familiar to everyone. He is currently the acting director of the Frontline Operations Supervision Bureau of the base camp. He is a typical young officer. From a factional perspective, he belongs to the group of Prince Zairen, Chief of General Staff.  Although his roots are very strong, he is not very arrogant and low-key when getting along with his colleagues. He just likes to take things seriously and insists on being truthful in everything. In the eyes of the big guys in the military, he is an insignificant little player.  Not a welcome sight.

    ???????????????? Otherwise, it will not be possible to act as the director for a few years and still not be able to correct the situation. Of course, this is directly related to the fact that Prince Zai Ren is not leading the troops, is not in the confidential center, and single-handedly controls the empire's military circle - Koichi Minai has always suppressed it!

    Lieutenant General Sada, acting director of the Base Camp's Frontline Operations Supervision Bureau, was the first to jump up, which surprised the big guys who had their own personal agenda. They didn't know who this guy who liked to accept death was going to shoot at.  ?

    The most nervous one among them is General Miuchi Minai, because this Lieutenant General Sada is from Prince Zain's lineage, and he is also a very annoying person. He doesn't use it well and looks displeased, so he wants to beat him several times.  After being sent to the base camp, he was demoted to a desert island in the Pacific and served as the security commander, but he had not yet found a suitable excuse.

    "Now, does this guy jump out to attack me? After all, the memorial of that guy Umezu passed through his hands, and he has nothing to do with it. The war situation in Manchuria is in a mess, and it is also his responsibility. With great power, comes great responsibility!  "Kouichi Minai thought to himself, and then his nerves immediately tensed up and he mobilized all his energy. He stared at Lieutenant General Sada intently, ready to fight like a hero.

    After receiving the imperial approval and affirmation from His Majesty the Emperor, Sada was in a surging mood and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, gentlemen, the war situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to this point, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, cannot absolve himself of the blame! I have read this man.  After the memorial, he could not help but feel indignant and furious, and even made false suggestions to give up the overseas territories that the empire had obtained after generations of hard work and great sacrifices by our ancestors! "

    "If Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial becomes a reality, it will mean that His Majesty's good intentions and great ambitions of building a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere will be in vain. For this reason alone, Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial will  It is not something that can be easily covered up by lies and treachery. It is treason! This person should be killed and his heart should be punished! I suggest that he be deprived of all military positions and be escorted back to Tokyo immediately and handed over to a military court.  Convicted of treason!¡±

    "Otherwise, it will be difficult to contain and deter cowardly people who will shrink from battle, which is contrary to the national policy of the empire and harmful to the Yamato national warriors. Another general who is familiar with Manchurian affairs will be sent to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.  ! I¡¯ve finished my words, please make your decision!¡±

    Lieutenant General Sada made an impassioned speech, and when he got to the point where he was so excited, he even burst into tears and could hardly control himself. However, not only did Emperor Hirohito have little interest in his words, but even the civil and military officials below also secretly  He shook his head, very disapproving.

    It¡¯s not that they disagree, the officials who have seen the memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro instinctively resent and repulse his suggestions. Who can accept the meat that has been swallowed in the stomach and spit it out again? The imperial force will  If we shrink back to our homeland, how can we play in the future?  Therefore, no one would object to killing Umezu Yoshijiro, let alone do anything for this unpopular guy.The sound of horses!
