Invincible from the sword

Chapter 246 This Face Slapped, It Hurts
The telegram sent by Xiao Zhuge to the old man in Shancheng shocked the old man very much.

The cane was thrown away in fright.

This is a fantasy! ? ?
The old man in Shancheng flushed with excitement.

Hardly believe it.

If the situation in the whole world is really as this telegram says, it will be great news for him.

As long as the queen country and the lighthouse country join the war against the island country, the failure of the island country is certain.

This Zhang Lei actually came to such a conclusion!

Why can't I think of it?
This telegram is too important, and the old man Shancheng dare not be careless.

A council of war is called immediately.

Discuss this telegram.

If there is such a possibility, then you have to prepare in advance!

In the old man's mansion in Shancheng, more than a dozen national army generals in military uniforms read all the telegrams.

His face turned pale with shock.

My heart was nothing but shock.

This report is incredible.

In their view, this is simply impossible.

How could an island nation do this?
Unless they are crazy.

The determined confidant of the old man in Shancheng, Gu, read the telegram several times from beginning to end, and he was stunned.

As a capable general, this telegram was an eye-opener for him.

It's terrifying that such a small dumpling can look at him like this.

"Bald, this Zhang Lei is really a talent!

To put it bluntly, there are only a handful of your students who can compare with Zhang Lei. "

The old man in Shancheng nodded and sighed: "That's right! Such a person didn't graduate from my Whampoa school.

what a shame. "

Old Gu thought for a moment: "In the Changsha battle, Zhang Lei's performance was remarkable.

Whether it is his command or the advice he provides, it is very important to the entire Ninth War Zone.

Now the battle is over.

Regarding Zhang Lei, do you want to express your opinion? "

What Lao Gu meant was very clear.

For such a great contribution, if you, the nominal leader, do not say anything, it is really unjustifiable.

The old man in Shancheng got a headache when he heard this.

He thinks too!

The problem is, this Zhang Lei is not his student, not even his subordinate.

That's from the Eighth Route Army.

Why can't I give him a teacher?

After much deliberation, the old man Shancheng still decided to continue issuing reward orders.

It's just a piece of paper anyway.

It doesn't matter.

As for saying that it will be criticized.

Humph.

If I don't listen, it means nothing.

Of course, the victory of the entire Changsha battle is a big event.

A press conference is a must.

Not only must it be held, but it must also be held grandly.

I want everyone to see that I, the old man in Shancheng, can win battles!
The whole press conference was held very grandly.

The old man in Shancheng was dressed in military uniform, very imposing.

He has a very good heart please.

I even feel a few years younger.

The camera below, clicked the horn and flashed until his eyes went dark.

Soon, news of the victory in the Changsha Battle spread to other countries through journalists from various countries.

Lao Qiu from the queen's kingdom was smoking a cigar.

The thick white smoke almost burned him.

Lao Qiu felt his face flushed.

A few days ago, he said that the old man in Shancheng was no good, but he turned around and won a big victory.

The face was slapped, it hurts.

In his conference room, several curly-haired children were expressing their dissatisfaction with Lao Qiu.

"Old Qiu, you are so blind, do you know that?

The old man in Shancheng is not unable to move.

His troops are still very effective.

I think it is necessary for Queen Kingdom to strengthen cooperation with Old Man Shancheng.

Now the perfume country has surrendered.

If we and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Perfume Country on the mainland did not retreat quickly, they would all be finished.

But even so, these troops lost almost all their weapons.

If it weren't for the English Channel, our Queen Kingdom would also have to kneel.

As far as the current situation is concerned, we simply don't have the extra strength to protect our territories in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

I think the only way to do this is to strengthen cooperation with the old man in Shancheng.

Containing all the troops of the island nation in the eastern battlefield is the most correct choice.

Otherwise, once the island nation's troops go south, it will be disastrous to our territory. "

Lao Qiu naturally knew this truth.

But what he considered was another direction.

Lao Qiu let out a smoke ring with a hiss: "Will, of course I understand what you mean.

The problem now is that we should not stimulate the island countries too much.

After all, all the energy of the island country is now in the east.

My idea is to secretly sign a treaty with the island countries and let them guarantee our interests in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

In this case, I think our territory can be preserved. "

treaty?

The one named Will snorted.

He wanted to look at Lao Qiu like an idiot.

It's this time, the treaty has a fart!
Island base camp.

Cabinet meeting.

Jinwei Wenmo's face is full of embarrassment.

The whole person sat on the chair like a pile of shit, and his eyes were dimmed.

He has received the hadith of the dog locust.

Let him take the blame and resign.

The new Prime Minister will be Hideki Tojo.

Konoe Wenmo felt aggrieved.

Damn.

Neiji Okamura lost the battle, why should I be blamed?
Shouldn't the real backer be Hideki Tojo?

It was he who recommended Ningji Okamura as the commander of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army.

And Hideki Tojo is the Minister of War.

How did Hideki Tojo push me in the end?

Where does this make sense?
Konoe Wenmo was aggrieved.

But there is no way.

The hadith of Goutian Locust has come down, and he can't do it unless he resigns.

idiot.

My era of guarding literature and ink is over.

Hideki Tojo's head was dizzy.

It's a bit unreal.

I feel like I can float when I walk.

Neiji Okamura was beaten into shit in the Changsha battle. As the Minister of Army of the island country, Hideki Tojo was not only not held accountable, but was promoted.

Became the new prime minister of the island nation's cabinet!
I am!

Absolutely.

However, Hideki Tojo is not stupid.

He knew very well that he, the new prime minister, was not so easy to be.

The No. 11 army lost tens of thousands of troops, which was a very head-scratching thing for their island country.

The entire strategy has to be rethought.

Perhaps, Naotomi Hattori was right, and the speed of going south must be accelerated.

It is not an option to continue fighting like this in the East.

Now Hideki Tojo clearly feels that their island nation's troops in the east are seriously insufficient.

Defensively enough.

This attack has more than enough heart but not enough strength!
If the fight continues like this, the troops of their island country will not be able to withstand it.

Hideki Tojo was very worried.

In order to make up for the shortage of troops, their island country is now stepping up conscription.

But the combat effectiveness of these newly recruited soldiers is much rubbish.

It can't be compared with the first soldiers at all.

Training is woefully inadequate.

Tojo Hideki sighed.

The island nation must have a new goal.

Now Hideki Tojo also agrees to send troops to Southeast Asia.

Regarding this issue, the island nation's headquarters had previously agreed.

Therefore, the resources of the island country are now tilted towards the navy of the island country for a long time.

A large amount of steel and funds have all poured into the island nation's shipyards and carrier-based aircraft manufacturing plants.

Yamamoto 56 is stepping up the formulation of a detailed combat plan.

According to Naotomi Hattori, it's almost done.

What they have to do now is to quickly form the No. 20 Fifth Army, which is going south.

This made Hideki Tojo very worried.

Because there are simply redundant troops.

Hideki Tojo talked with Hata Toshiroku about the formation of the No.20 Fifth Army.

Hata Shunroku's request was also very simple.

If he can serve as the Minister of War of the island country, then he will agree to transfer two to three divisions from the Kwantung Army to go south.

If he can't serve as the Minister of War of the island country, then there is no need to talk about it.

it's good now.

He Hideki Tojo became the new Prime Minister of the island nation.

The position of the Minister of War of the island country is vacant.

After discussing with Shunliu Hata, Shunliu Hata finally agreed that he could draw troops from the Kwantung Army.

This made Hideki Tojo feel more at ease.

The island nation's finance minister looked unhappy.

There is not much money in the treasury of the island country at all.

It turned out that when the funds were invested in the Japanese army, it was okay.

After all, the equipment of the island country army does not cost much.

But now, because the strategic center of gravity needs to be shifted to Southeast Asia and South Asia, a lot of money needs to be invested in the navy of the island country.

I drop mom.

The navy of the island country is simply a huge gold-swallowing beast.

Any destroyer will consume hundreds of millions of yen.

If it is a battleship or a heavy cruiser, it will consume more funds.

In addition, there are aircraft carriers.

The funds consumed by these equipments are a bottomless pit.

Can't fill it up at all.

And that doesn't include aircraft used by the Navy.

Calculated in this way, the funds of their island country can't support it at all.

Now the combined fleet of their island nation, the size of warships added up, has about [-] small ships.

However, Naotomi Hattori, Minister of the Navy, has been asking for additional funding.

At least the space battleship Yamato of their island country must be completed.

The battleship Yamato is the largest warship designed and built by their island nation.

Powerful.

Just the main gun on the Yamato has reached a terrifying nine.

The caliber of the main gun has reached an astonishing 460 mm.

The barrel is so thick that a person can fit in it.

With one shell fired, no matter how powerful the battleship is, it will be sunk.

However, the cost is also ridiculously high.

The cost of just one Yamato can be compared to three Hiryu-class aircraft carriers.

I don't know what kind of nerves the Navy Department of the island country has.

With this money, wouldn't it be good to build a few more aircraft carriers?

Naotomi Hattori is much more ruthless than Hideki Tojo.

Chasing the Chancellor's ass for money.

If you don't give it, you will be beaten up when you go up.

Very social.

But no money is no money.

In the end, there was no other way, and the base camp of the island nation agreed to increase the tax burden.

Taxes in many parts of the island country have been received for 90 years.
