Chapter 462
A group of high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Ministers will be interviewed by them from time to time. The reason why these foreign reporters appear is not only because the national army has defended the [-] Japanese troops from attacking Changsha, which surprised the western countries, but also because of the outbreak of a catastrophe in early September. A major event: Germany invaded Poland, the European War broke out, and the strategic centers of Britain, France and other countries have shifted to China.

Under the background of such a world war, the international community believed that France, Britain, and the Soviet Union would not be able to protect themselves against German aggression and would not provide assistance to China. It would be difficult for China, which resisted Japan alone, to hold Changsha. Contrary to the expectations and predictions of these media.

Therefore, many media took the plane from Chongqing to Changsha and entered this heroic city that successfully resisted the Japanese attack to conduct interviews.

These Western media forgot that the assistance they thought was far less than what they imagined, and that the Chinese have persisted under the invasion of the devils until now is not because of their assistance.

During these days when October was free, Li Chong had nothing to do, and when he drove down the streets and alleys from time to time, he found that many portals had newly installed plaques at home.On the frontal battlefield in northern Hunan, many of the soldiers who died were soldiers from Sanxiang. Such scenes are not uncommon after the war.

Li Chong, who didn't like to walk around the streets and see such scenes, spent the next few days lying down and sleeping to refresh himself, apart from chattering and playing cards among the officers and visiting Li Yinqing's place.

After another week of leisure, the theater has not yet waited for the promotion awards for the officers and soldiers below.

Lin Wanru called and said she was going to fly from Chongqing, but was stopped by Li Chong on the phone. Changsha is currently in the process of rebuilding the post-war order, and it is very chaotic.

This award order still hasn't come down more than ten days after the war, and there is a reason for this kind of work efficiency to be slower than usual.

At the beginning of October, the Supreme Command discussed and decided to divide the existing Ninth War Zone, and decided to divide the existing Ninth War Zone into two theaters, the 9th and the 6th.

Considering that the Japanese attack on Changsha would definitely not give up, the High Command decided to divide the area of ​​southern Jiangxi and northern Hubei from the current nine theaters independently in order to allow Xue Boling to defend Changsha wholeheartedly. The Sixth War Zone between the Nine War Zones.

The high command hopes that when the Japanese army makes a comeback against Changsha, it will use two armed theaters to face it, so that when the Japanese army invades Changsha again, it will face the two theaters.

Therefore, these days, the Ninth War Zone Chief’s Department is not only responsible for various post-war processing matters, but also responsible for the division of the Ninth War Zone. Therefore, the rewards for the outstanding soldiers in the Changsha Battle can only be squeezed in the busy business. deal with.

This is too busy for all the office staff of the war zone chief's department to work in shifts with brightly lit lights every day.

In the entire city of Changsha, the most relaxed and comfortable group of people are officers and soldiers like Li Chong who performed well with the large army in the battle.

The newly built taverns in the city are booming in business, and from time to time, groups of military officers come to the taverns.

Some came out of the war zone hospital to eat out to celebrate, some took a young girl from the city to be their mother-in-law to celebrate, and some ran into an acquaintance on the road for no reason and went to a restaurant to have a meal.

Anyway, the restaurant business in the city is quite good, and some restaurants are so busy that they can't open a table, so they simply cleared out a piece of ruins next to them and reserved a table.

The smell of alcohol wafted from the ruins.

When some industries in Changsha City began to flourish again after the war, the return of the 11th Japanese Army without success not only caused Okamura to be recalled directly for review, but also caused great turbulence to the political situation in his home country.

Native Japan, in front of the cabinet ring table.

A group of cabinet members in suits sat on chairs, and the Prime Minister Fumma Konoe sat in the head seat.

There are as many cabinet members as there are chairs in front of him, and now half of the cabinet members' seats are empty in front of him.

Fumma Konoe said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we welcome new cabinet ministers into the cabinet!"

Amid the applause of the sitting cabinet members, a middle-aged man wearing a full military uniform walked in with a stride. The military cap on his head was inlaid with a broad red ribbon, and the center of the cap was inlaid with a Pentagram.

Several newly elected cabinet members following the middle-aged man were also wearing full military uniforms.

The leading middle-aged man is Hideki Tojo, who has always been known as a "war madman" by the Japanese military.

After the defeat in the Changsha battle, some cabinet members who did not advocate expansionary wars were swept out. The failure of the Changsha attack commanded by Okamura directly promoted the turmoil in the local cabinet.

After a brief welcoming ceremony, Fumma Konoe, who was sitting at the top, said:
"The outbreak of war in the European battlefield, especially after the defeat in Changsha, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States have successively issued public condemnation of our 11th Army's attack on Changsha. In terms of international reputation, our country is already in a disadvantaged position."

Hearing the words "Changsha battle failed", Hideki Tojo, who was sitting on a chair and his ass was still warm, frowned. He didn't like the prime minister's statement very much.

Just as he turned his body to the top position of the prime minister and was about to speak, Konoe Fumma stretched out his white-gloved palm, and pointed his palm towards Hideki Tojo, signaling him not to speak. Fumma Konoe knew that Hideki Tojo was going to say something What.

Fumma Konoe went on to say, "I know some of you don't agree with the term 'failure'. Neiji Okamura's report to me said that 'it was just a withdrawal to the original station, which was a timely reversal', but I think What I want to tell you is that since the imperial army fought against China, there has never been a precedent for the imperial army to attack large and medium-sized cities without losing troops or returning without success!"

Fumma Konoe's words made Hideki Tojo's chest thump continuously. He knew that the prime minister was using these words to suppress himself, the new second in command of the cabinet.

The meeting after the second cabinet formation in Japan lasted for a long time. On the way, polite guards in suits and white gloves came in to refill a lot of water.

After this cabinet meeting, the new cabinet determined two things:
The first thing: the resolution continues to attack Changsha in principle, but the time is undecided;
The second thing: send people to Germany to conduct alliance negotiations with Germany and Italy.

On the issue of attacking Changsha, the majority headed by Hideki Tojo directly overwhelmed the minority, but the minority believed that the huge expenses caused by successive wars continued to drag down the domestic economy. After a while, Hideki Tojo couldn't ignore such a voice. It's really not good to fight immediately without military expenses and rations.

The meeting also left a point of contention, that is, whether to replace the current commander of the 11th Army Neiji Okamura.It's not that he was dissatisfied with the defeat of the Changsha battle and had to replace him, but that he wanted to put him in a more needed position.Now the North China ruling area is constantly being harassed by the eight-way armed forces, and the law and order in the entire ruling area is very unstable. This has caused the headquarters to have a headache and send a capable general to clear up the law and order in North China.

But if he is transferred from Okamura, who will take over the 11th Army?There was no cabinet consensus on this issue.

When the above-mentioned resolutions were made in Japan, the division of the war zone in Changsha City was finally dealt with, and the appointment of officers and soldiers who had made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Guardian Changsha began to be put on the agenda.

　Thanks to the book friend Bikini Beach Octopus, but unfortunately, the reward is goodbye.
