    "Sir Tanaka, when it comes to the three Japanese divisions stationed in Western Siberia, the Western Siberian Autonomous Government here comes to the coalition headquarters to complain almost every week. The discipline problems of the local Japanese garrison are very troublesome.

    Of course, you may not know this when you first arrived. The Western Siberian Autonomous Government has repeatedly made requests to the Allied Forces Command, and is even preparing to formally propose to the Chinese and Japanese governments to transfer the Japanese 4th, 8th and 4th Infantry Troops stationed in Western Siberia.  The 9th Division went to the west of the Ural Mountains to participate in the front-line operations of the coalition forces, and handed over the local security in Western Siberia to the newly established security forces of the autonomous government!  "

    The speaker was Jiang Hongyu, the chief of staff of the coalition forces. Seeing Wang Geng inadvertently winking at him, the chief of staff knew it well and stood up and began to apply eye drops to Tanaka Yiichi.

    When Jiang Hongyu said this, Jiang Fangzhen held his chin and smiled while watching the commander-in-chief and chief of staff perform a double act. However, Tanaka Yiichi jumped up in a serious hurry,

    "Nani? Jiang Sang, this is absolutely impossible. It has only been a few months since the Imperial Army entered Western Siberia? The common people don't want to serve in the first place. Even if there is a problem of lax military discipline in one place, it can be strictly enforced.  Supervise and manage, the Japanese Army must not withdraw from Western Siberia, otherwise how will it be explained to the country?

    To be honest, with the rise of China and the establishment of the Sino-Japanese alliance, the Japanese army, navy and Prime Minister Terauchi are facing tremendous pressure. The Japanese government and opposition parties are worried that Japan will in turn become a vassal of China. How can we evacuate at this time?  Japanese troops in Western Siberia?  This is absolutely unacceptable!  Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I strongly protest against this practice of the Western Siberian Autonomous Government that hurts mutual feelings!  "

    Tanaka Yiyi waved his arms and roared with a red face, and almost rushed forward to have a sumo wrestling with Jiang Hongyu. Of course, this guy roared and roared. Although his words were fierce, he really didn't dare to directly attack the coalition headquarters and China.  The king became angry, but pointed the finger at the puppet Western Siberian Autonomous Government, which was not even present.

    To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the West Siberian Autonomous Government's protests and complaints are all nonsense. Although the military discipline of the Japanese local garrison is not good, it is better than the three divisions of the 3rd Army three months ago.  After all, under the comprehensive control and punishment of the Allied Military Police, even the 4th Division, a disciplined and lax Osaka merchant division, would not dare to casually disrupt the relationship between the local military and civilians. This man wearing a black uniform with red sleeves  Zhang's coalition gendarmerie is not merciless at all when it comes to killing his own people. Who can get in trouble with him if nothing happens?

    "Your Excellency Tanaka, please be patient. You still need to control the military discipline of the Japanese garrison, because whether it is in Western Siberia or the Volga Federation, the Chinese and Japanese armies represent the image of the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers.  Of course, we will comprehensively judge and consider the image of the Sino-Japanese alliance and the demands of the Western Siberian Autonomous Government. If it were not for the sake of maintaining local stability, the coalition headquarters would have called up the Japanese 4th, 8th and 4th Infantry Troops stationed in Western Siberia early in the morning.  The 9th Division reinforces the front line, instead of allowing you and the Japanese 1st Army to come all the way.¡±

    Wang Geng saw that Tanaka Yiichi had been bluffed quite a bit, and felt that this guy had been weakened, so he comforted him with a smile and said,

    "As for Japan's industrial and financial capital, of course you are welcome to invest in the Volga Federation and Western Siberia. The dedication of Japanese companies is quite good, but this matter is not urgent at the moment. Let's discuss it slowly later!"

    "Okay, Commander-in-Chief, please don't forget it, otherwise the Japanese government and the public will not be able to let me and His Excellency Taro Utsunomiya off easily. You must give accurate instructions on Ukraine's air supremacy and the use of the Allied Air Force.  Without air supremacy, General Utsunomiya's Southwest Front will not be able to successfully complete the goal of the Ukrainian campaign. Please support this at all costs! The coalition air force must continue to fight, at least to ensure air supremacy in the direction of Kharkov!"

    Tanaka Yiichi went down the ladder. Rather than fighting for Japanese companies and capital to participate in the Volga Federation's ordnance and steel and oil production, what was more urgent was Jiang Hongyu's previous suggestion of limited use of coalition forces.  In order for the air force to avoid excessive battle losses and casualties, this man is deeply afraid that Wang Geng will feel sorry for the losses of the Chinese participating army air force, and will not use large-scale dispatches to fight against the German air force on the pretext of insufficient aircraft production capacity and excessive losses of the air force.  , this is not in Japan¡¯s interests.

    Who told the Allied Forces Command not to allow Japan to send an air force to participate?  It¡¯s no wonder that we want to put your Chinese Air Force on the head, but Tanaka Yiichi is also shocked. After only two air battles, 68 fighter planes were lost and 38 pilots were killed. If the Japanese Air Force had 100  If multiple aircraft that cannot be brought to the table are put into battle, the battle will be completed in 3 days, so at this moment, Tanaka is a typical leader who stands and watches the fire without back pain.

    ¡°Sir Tanaka, the leader of the Ukrainian campaignOf course we have to fight for air supremacy, but the difference in strength and strength between the Allied Air Force and the German Air Force is also obvious. Although we won the two air battles last night and today, apart from good command and the pilots' courage to fight and sacrifice,  , more importantly, it relies on local strength advantages.

    Of course, the other side is not familiar with the performance of the Chinese FR18 fighter-bombers, but in this way, we still shot down 4 FR18s. Germany currently has at least more than 2,000 front-line combat aircraft, or even 2,500. How many do we have now?  Therefore, what Chief of Staff Chiang Kai-shek said is worthy of our consideration. If large-scale air strikes are too frequent, the vitality of the troops will be greatly lost, which is not advisable!  "

    Although Wang Geng stated that he would continue to compete for air supremacy over Ukraine, he emphasized that the objective status quo is indeed that the enemy is strong and we are weak. In fact, according to Wang Geng's wishes, he does not intend to continue a large-scale air battle with the German Air Force. This air force  The transition speed is much faster than that of the main force on the ground. If Ludendorff is really pushed into a hurry and even 500 fighters are transferred from the Western Front back to the Eastern Front in one go, the Allied Air Force will be unable to withstand it.

    "Commander-in-Chief, how are we going to fight next? The order for the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing to attack the ground has been issued!" Qian Tianfu, the director of the war room who had just returned, asked with a serious face.

    "Haha, within three days it won't be a big problem. Even if Hermann Wilhelm Goering goes to Berlin to ask for reinforcements, it will take several days, and Ludendorff and Hindenburg may not easily prepare for the German offensive on the Western Front.  The work has been stopped, so that a large number of air wings can be mobilized to reinforce the Eastern Front. I have asked the Allied Powers on the Western Front to maintain the air offensive and pressure on the German Air Force on the Western Front as much as possible. Of course, the combined number of British and French aircraft is more than  Germany has much more, and we have sacrificed and bled on the Eastern Front, so there is no reason to let the British and French air fleets bask in the sun on the Western Front!¡±
