    "The Chinese bombarded Hong Kong?" Seishiro Sakagaki looked directly at Juichi Terauchi who brought him the news with questioning eyes, but what he saw was a lot of trouble with this guy who had a very different relationship with him.  nodded.  "Really?" "I won't entertain you with this kind of news." Terauchi handed the telegram forward, "You should know that guy Takashi Sakai has always wanted to take down Hong Kong, but because of the Chinese  The reason is that he has always been disappointed with that tiny place, but his attention to Hong Kong has not relaxed at all, so he got the news as soon as the Chinese bombarded Hong Kong. " "As Ishihara-kun expected,  The Chinese government has the same idea as us, and they are becoming increasingly impatient." A strange light appeared on Sakagaki Seishiro's face, which seemed to be excitement and worry. It was very complicated, but inside the temple.  Shouyi understood it: "I really hope the Chinese can be more violent. It would be best if they can directly conflict with the British. Unfortunately, they used salutes this time instead of live ammunition!" "It is better to use salutes than to be miserable.  It¡¯s better to retreat,¡± a sinister smile appeared on Sakagaki Seishiro¡¯s lips, ¡°And since the Chinese have discovered that the British are strong on the outside and weak on the inside, with the attitude they are showing now, they will not be satisfied with just one Hong Kong!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,  They are only superficially related to the British. Although they sent troops this time to help the British, but now that they have set foot in Hong Kong, they will definitely not leave easily in the future. They may even conflict with the British because of Hong Kong's problems  " Terauchi Shouichi also laughed.  "Does Mr. Doihara know about this? I think our agents in Hong Kong should seize this opportunity and work hard to help the Chinese 'recover' their lost territory!" Seishiro Sakagaki asked again.  "This is news from the base camp. They must have known it, and I think they will definitely not give up this opportunity." Terauchi Juichi replied, "So now I am even more worried about those Americans Qin Wei is a thousand-year-old man  "Don't underestimate him. How do you plan to deal with his upcoming rescue operation?" "Ishihara-kun has studied Qin Wei in detail, and even thought that he was a scientist, but we must admit the intelligence behind this person.  The organization is no small matter, and he can always achieve his combat goals unexpectedly. Since he is so powerful, then we should accept his 'goodwill'" Sakagaki Seishiro said with a smile, "I decided that on the night of his action,  Let Imamura get out of the frontal defense line of the port and evacuate all ships parked in the port. """ Terauchi Juichi seemed not surprised by the actions of Seishiro Sakagaki, a fierce Kwantung Army general who was always known for his courage.  , he pondered for a while.  "Although I don't object to your decision, Mr. Sakagaki, Qin Wei's intelligence is very accurate and he is good at calculations. His grasp of people's psychology can often be so accurate that it makes people tremble. If you do this. If he  " "If we don't make arrangements according to his instructions, then, with the power he has, our defenders at the port are likely to suffer huge losses." Sakagaki Seishiro glanced at Terauchi Juichi, "I.  Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you have not forgotten how Hasegawa Kiyoshi and his fleet were destroyed, right?" "You are talking about that kind of weapon?" Terauchi Juichi looked shocked.  "That's right, that kind of weapon!" Seishiro Sakagaki let out a long breath.  "After intense efforts, the scientists of the empire finally created napalm. Unfortunately, they were still unable to explain the principle of that weapon But from the defeat of Hasegawa Kiyoshi's fleet, we can infer the minimum lethality of this weapon  The radius should also be tens of meters! In other words, a bomb can at least eliminate chickens and dogs within an area of ??one or two thousand square meters. If someone carries oxygen and hides in the strongest defense, he may still be able to escape.  However, in the face of such a large-scale battle, we cannot prepare these things for everyone Our battle situation is too wide, so we must cherish every available force. " "You are the frontline commander.  Officer, it's up to you." Terauchi Shouichi said, "But I still have to remind you that Qin Wei is extremely cunning. If he just wants to save MacArthur and his American soldiers, it's okay, but if he still wants to take the opportunity to attack.  We, you'd better make all possible preparations." "About this Commander-in-Chief, you can rest assured! Our combat staff have already conducted simulations of this battle and estimated all possibilities.  We have made multiple arrangements, so we will never let Qin Wei rescue even one American soldier," Sakagaki Seishiro said seriously.  "Sakagaki-kun, it's best not to be too confident." Terauchi Shouichi frowned slightly.  Sakagaki Seishiro's attitude reminded him of himself in Nanjing.?¡­This is not a good sign.  "Confidence is the most basic quality that every general should possess when commanding operations." Sakagaki Seishiro didn't care that his words made Terauchi Juichi's brows furrowed even more deeply, "If Qin Wei can still remain the same after we have made all kinds of preparations,  Successfully rescued the American troops, then, I have nothing to say. " "" Sakagaki Seishiro said so, and Terauchi Juichi had nothing to say, but vaguely, he always felt that Sakagaki Seishiro was a little bit.  Overconfidence.  Are you ready to fight against Qin Wei?  When he and Doihara were in Nanjing, when did he not think that he was fully prepared?  Although Sakagaki Seishiro is a famous general, no matter how strong this guy is, he can't be as strong as him and Doihara Kenji teamed up, right?  It is a pity that as a general who has suffered consecutive defeats, although he is still lucky enough to command a force of the same level as the Chinese Expeditionary Force in battle, his prestige is seriously lacking.  Not to mention the famous generals and fierce generals like Sakagaki Seishiro who fought a great victory in Siberia, but also the division commanders, how many of them really take him seriously?  Moreover, he did not expect that Qin Wei could have any way to break through Sakagaki Seishiro's arrangement The troops of more than 30,000 people could not be transported away in a short time, whether by plane or ship, and while they were waiting to leave,  The will of the US military, which has been besieged for several months, will be severely challenged.  He was absolutely certain that the fighting desire and combat effectiveness of American soldiers at that time would plummet, and might even reach a point close to zero. In this way, the best time for them to attack would come But these  Qin Wei and Qin Wei couldn't think of it. Even if Qin Wei couldn't think of it, it's not like there are no famous generals in the Chinese army. Those people would also think of it.  "Ask Imamura to widen the gap by another ten kilometers when evacuating the port! At the same time the troops on other sides are not allowed to launch an attack on downtown Manila at the first time. I don't care about their desire to fight.  No matter how strong it is, we must get accurate information from the port before we can take action. "Shouichi Terauchi did not want to directly intervene in Sakagaki Seishiro's command. His prestige had been almost exhausted on the Chinese battlefield, and even Emperor Hirohito was officially in charge.  When he was appointed commander-in-chief of the "Southern General Army", he was also "instructed" to listen more to Sakagaki Seishiro's opinions.  But that was just a euphemism. To put it bluntly, even Hirohito, the Emperor who once had great trust in him, began to have little confidence in him and under such circumstances, he could obtain the position of commander-in-chief of the Southern General Army.  In addition to the political legacy left by his former Prime Minister Laozi Masaki Terauchi and the connections he accumulated in the position of Prime Minister, Tojo Hideki, the new Prime Minister, is  A measure taken to suppress the rise of Ishihara Kanji and others.  Although the final great contribution to the conquest of Siberia was taken by Nishio Hiszo, Japan's top leaders knew that it was the work of Ishihara Kanji, Sakagaki Seishiro and others.  What does the expansion of land by more than 10 million square kilometers mean to the Japanese?  This means that the rise of Ishihara Kanji and others is irresistible.  Tojo Hideki was able to become land minister, so he naturally understood the way of political struggle.  The overbearing, arrogant and unreasonable side in the cabinet before could not be used against Ishihara Kanji and others, because Ishihara Kanji and others were not afraid of his rogue tricks, and Emperor Hirohito was now very fond of Ishihara Kanji.  trust and high hopes, blind suppression will only have the opposite effect.  Furthermore, as the war has progressed to this point, Tojo Hideki also understands how dangerous Japan is. He also desperately needs the help of military strategists like Ishihara Kanji at this moment.  Therefore, Hideki Tojo changed his previous attitude towards Kanji Ishihara from hostility to cooperation But Hideki Tojo could not allow Kanji Ishihara to truly stand at the top of the army, or even allow him to contact him.  to too strong a military power.  Therefore, he could only be regarded as a casual acquaintance with Ishihara Kanji and others. He became Tojo Hideki's first choice because he had colleagues with Doihara Kenji and shared the same problem.  It can either make Ishihara Kanji and others reluctantly accept it, or it can prevent Tojo Hideki from feeling too much of a threat.  And he also knew clearly that the most important thing he should do at this time was to sit back and watch Seishiro Sakagaki command the battle. In this case, if he won, he would have merit; if he lost, he would have no fault!  It's a pity that he is Juichi Terauchi, a count of the Japanese Empire, an army general, the son of the former Prime Minister, the former Prime Minister, the former Commander-in-Chief of the China Expeditionary Force and a defeated general of the Chinese army!  He didn't want to lose again, even if he could avoid this battle.  "Okay." Seishiro Sakagaki looked at Juichi Terauchi's eyes that were shining brightly from time to time. He pondered for a while and then nodded, "It's okay to let them mess around for a while. It won't waste much time anyway." "Thank you.  !¡±
