Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing the expressions of more than a hundred imperial military and political officials avoiding his gaze, General Nanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, in a telegram to the base camp,  It has been made very clear that all the border guards are in ruins, and in the western Liaoning and western Manchuria areas, the Kwantung Army, with more than one million troops, is surrounded by independent divisions. Fengtian, Xinjing, and Harbin are also under threat from independent divisions.  Among them!¡±

    "I believe that as long as that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is willing, he can capture the above three places at any time. I do not doubt this, nor do I mean to belittle the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Imperial Kwantung Army. On the other hand, there are only ten divisions in the country.  Most of the reserve soldiers are new recruits who have been trained for less than three months. They have no reinforcements and are surrounded on all sides. This is the current situation of the Kwantung Army of our empire in Manchuria! "

    Regarding this point, none of the officials, including Emperor Hirohito, could refute it. The fact is that it is even worse than this. "What I said about giving up Manchuria is just a temporary measure. The empire can take Manchuria."  , handed over to Tang Qiuli, the mortal enemy of that empire, but the other condition is that Tang Qiuli¡¯s troops must be withdrawn from the Korean Peninsula and the Far East! "

    "In this way, the more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers who were surrounded in Manchuria can be preserved. This is the most elite force of our Empire of Japan. How can we lose them all for a hopeless battle? Exchange Manchuria for the Kwantung Army.  , I think it is very worthwhile, and after leaving Manchuria, the Kwantung Army was not transferred back to the mainland, but was divided into two parts and stationed in the Far East and the Korean Peninsula respectively!"

    "Give the Kwantung Army three years to recuperate, improve existing equipment, and strengthen training, especially for the independent division troops. By then, the campaign to regain Manchuria can be launched simultaneously from both the Far East and the Korean Peninsula. Farewell, gentlemen.  Forgot. Manchuria is between the Korean Peninsula and the Far East, which means it is surrounded by the imperial army! "

    "In this way, as long as the Kwantung Army is full-fledged again, it can launch an attack at any time, use retreat to advance, and exchange Manchuria for the Kwantung Army's one million soldiers to make a comeback. I think it is very worthwhile. Such a loss of power and humiliation to the country, what's the harm in swallowing it for the time being?  In the current situation in Manchuria, fighting to the death would seem like the Imperial warriors are not afraid of death, but it would be of no use in the end. They would lose Manchuria and the capital of the Imperial Army to counterattack in the future!"

    "After the empire's war in the north is settled, there is another major advantage. It can avoid the empire's two-front war, and the unfavorable situation of exhausting the local war potential on the battlefield and overwhelming the war resources. It can also reduce the empire's existing resources and  The military power is concentrated in the Australian battlefield in the southwest Pacific, and the battlefield in the Eastern Pacific where the Americans compete for sea control. Then, in the southern battlefield, the imperial army can also concentrate its military power and resources to form an overwhelming advantage! "

    "When the Empire completely annihilated the Allied forces in the Australian battlefield and completely wiped out the American fleet, in turn, could the millions of Imperial troops used in the south be used in the north, and the resources in the occupied areas also be used?  It can support the northern battlefield. At that time, the empire can invest no less than three million troops in the Manchurian battlefield. So, what should China's devil Tang Qiuli's troops have to fear in regaining Manchuria?  What¡¯s the difficulty? Temporary gains and losses are not the final outcome!¡±

    "Your Majesty, colleagues, this is Nanjiro's solution to the crisis in Manchuria. Your Majesty has finished your presentation. Please make your decision!"

    Nanjiro's long and eloquent speech ended here. This man did have two brushes. It can be regarded as a strategy to calm the war in Manchuria. It brought an unprecedented impact to Emperor Hirohito and Japan's civil and military officials.  In the huge emperor's palace, it was completely quiet. Everyone was thinking and chewing on Nanjiro's words. Their heads were full of excitement and they kept nodding. Their eyes were still full of confusion.

    "Pah! Pah! Pah!" Applause suddenly rang out, awakening Emperor Hirohito and a group of senior officials from their different thoughts. The one who applauded was the number one person in the military circles of the Empire of Japan today¡ª¡ª  General Mitsuichi Mineuchi, Minister of War and Acting Chief of General Staff of the Base Camp!

    The first person to understand what Nanjiro said was not Emperor Hirohito, nor any other big shot, but General Mitsuru Yoneuchi. With his experienced experience, he could see the core of Nanjiro's suggestion at a glance. Giving up Manchuria would save the enemy.  The more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers who surrounded them still have a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback. To be fair, Koichi Mineuchi now really admires Nanjiro for his courage to risk the world's disapproval. This man may be the best person to save the crisis in Manchuria!

    In essence, Koichi Yoneuchi and Nanjiro are similar types of people. Although they both hold important positions in the Japanese military, they are not known for their military commanding abilities. Instead, they are famous for their superb political skills. They are similar.  It is easy to resonate with people. Now that the Manchuria issue is being solved, Nanjiro, who has more political qualities than military temperament,?A general who knows how to fight is much more useful!

    "Your Majesty, I believe that General Nanjiro's words are inspiring and point to the core of resolving the crisis in Manchuria. No one without great wisdom and courage would dare to be so willing to risk the accusations of a thousand people and frankly speak to the court.  Therefore, I admire you greatly and fully agree with Nanjiro's approach!" Miuchi supported Nanjiro and said loudly. His words came from his sincerity. If he were to put himself in his shoes, he would not dare to do this!

    Since the number one person in the military circles completely agrees with Nanjiro's method, it is impossible for people in the army to object, and people in the navy have no reason to object. As for people in the civil service system, there is no need to make a cross attack, only  The one-sided Lieutenant General Sada, who was waiting for a pair of bull's-eyes and was still a little unconvinced, was suppressed by the other heavyweights of the army with vicious looks, and he had no choice but to remain dejected and silent.

    Emperor Hirohito seemed to have been relieved of a thousand kilograms of burden, and he felt indescribably relaxed. His pale and thin face was gleaming with red. He stood up and said loudly: "Okay, let's solve Manchuria according to Nanji Ai Qing's method."  In this critical situation, the previous authorization remains unchanged. You three, Aiyou Minai, Aiyou Nanji, and Aito Ito, please work more on this matter and study the specific details carefully. I am exhausted, so I will not stop.  Excuse me, the meeting is adjourned!" Then, all the officials bowed and left the hall under the protection of their attendants.

    All the senior officials left with their own secrets. On the surface, the limelight of this meeting seemed to have been stolen by people from the Army and Civil Service departments. The Navy did not gain a single cent.  Several officers of the young navy faction were a little aggrieved, but in the view of Navy Minister Nagano Shuzan, this was the best. The mess in Manchuria was already the death of the king of hell, and panaceas were of no avail. It was the best result for the navy to stay away from right and wrong.  !

    An imperial meeting held late at night, which lasted for several hours, ended with the principle issue of resolving the Manchuria issue determined. However, Japan's core decision-making leaders, including Emperor Hirohito, seemed to be wishful thinking.  They wishfully believed that Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, would definitely accept such conditions, which seemed to be a bit of a gift in a certain psychological way!

    In the official residence of General Koichi Mineuchi, Koichi Mineuchi, Nanjiro and Foreign Minister Masafumi Ito are discussing some specific details in a secret room. The room is not big, but the decoration is very exquisite, in a typical Japanese style. A picture  On the short square table, there were exquisitely prepared side dishes and three bottles of sake. However, it was obvious that the three important ministers who shouldered important responsibilities were not thinking about drinking.

    Miuchi picked up the wine pot, filled the glasses for Nanjiro and Ito Masabumi, poured another glass for himself, and looked at Ito Masabumi.  He opened his mouth and said: "Ito-kun, Nanci-kun wants to negotiate with that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, but there is no channel for negotiation. You know clearly that the Kwantung Army and Tang Qiuli's troops are at war. If this is the case,  Negotiating on the battlefield will mean surrender on the battlefield, which our military says is unacceptable. Does your Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any way to solve this problem? "

    Ito Masabumi took a sip of sake, thought for a moment and said, "Yonei-kun, this is not difficult. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always maintained close contact with the German Embassy in China. I can ask the German Ambassador to China to come forward.  , communicate with Tang Qiuli and convey our intention to negotiate. It is said that Tao Deman has a good personal relationship with Tang Qiuli! "

    "He will be happy to be this messenger. After Nanji-kun arrives in Manchuria, don't rush to take action, just wait for news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

    Miuchi Miuchi visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's best. It's much more logical to have the German ambassador to China as the intermediary. Then please trouble Ito-kun and contact Todman as soon as possible. The crisis in Manchuria cannot be delayed!"

    When Koichi Mineuchi and Masafumi Ito were talking, Nanjiro didn't say a word. He just sipped his sake and seemed a little worried. Koichi Mineuchi knew that the burden on Nanjiro's shoulders was definitely not light. Maybe, Germany  If mediation fails and negotiations fail, there is a possibility that he will risk his life in Manchuria!

    After filling the wine glass for Nanjiro, Koichi Mineuchi asked: "Nanjiro-kun, you are leaving for Manchuria tomorrow. Can you take a plane? That would be faster. The Kwantung Army is leaderless now and urgently needs Nanjiro-kun to take charge of the overall situation!"

    Nanjiro smiled slightly and said: "Munei-kun, does the sky in Manchuria still belong to the Empire of Japan? If I take a plane, I'm afraid I will be shot down by a fighter jet sent by Tang Qiuli before I get to Fengtian!"

    Minaiguang was silent for a moment, "Then how are Nanci-kun going to leave?" he asked again.

    "Take a plane and land in Vladivostok, and then rush to Fengtian by land. Although it will take more time, it is safe. I don't want to die before leaving!" Nanjiro humored.??However, there is still a problem in his mind that has not been solved!
