Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 599

In the office, the atmosphere was quite dignified. As the host, Kojima Kizang kept silent, and the dog-legged son Liangcheng was worried about offending his immediate boss in the future, so he pretended to be a dead dog.

Seeing this, Makotosuke Murayama, a Japanese adviser representing the Jinling Puppet Government, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said bluntly: "Mr. Kojima, the Jinling National Government is the only legal government in China recognized by the Empire. The armed forces that help it form should be under the command of the Jinling National Government, and Prime Minister Konoe's cabinet also recognizes this!"

"This time, I was entrusted by the head of the Yingzuo Agency to reorganize the appeasement forces in eastern Henan and northern Anhui. Please cooperate!"

Kojima Kichizo did not hide his disdain at all after hearing this. The current Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumma was born in an aristocratic family. In addition to Konoe's close relationship with the emperor, he came to power to meet the needs of various factions in Japan.

However, the Konoe cabinet does not have much power in its hands. In fact, it is difficult for the Konoe Fummo even the cabinet to be unanimous. With the great achievements of the Japanese army on the battlefield, the power of the military has become more and more rampant.

The Emperor of Japan is ruled by the arch, and the military and government representatives are separated from the headquarters and the cabinet, just as the emperor is the dog leash, the cabinet is the dog's head, and the headquarters or the military department is the dog's legs.

But in fact, with the outbreak of the war and the expansion of the power of the military, as the headquarters of the supreme commander of the Japanese army and navy, there were no civilian officials selected, while the ministers of the army and navy who were elected to the cabinet often hindered the cabinet from exercising administrative power.

Today, the dog legs no longer listen to the dog's head. Makotosuke Murayama has another identity. He is the representative of the Konoe Cabinet in the Jinling puppet government.

"Mr. Cunshan's words are wrong. Eastern Henan and southwestern Shandong belong to the area under the jurisdiction of our [-]th Division and are under the control of the North China Dispatch Army. Although Mr. Zhang died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the former I have always been in command of military operations, and at this moment the ownership of the appeasement army should be decided by me!"

"You have to understand that the relationship between the Great Japanese Empire and the Jinling National Government cannot be put before the horse!" Kojima Yoshizo said sharply.

As a civil servant, Makotosuke Murayama has a lot of political accomplishment, and there is nothing unusual about it, and he also agrees with what Kojima Kichizo said.

However, the two involved military and political disputes in Japan, and at the same time, there were disputes between the two factions of the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army.

In September 1939, the Japanese headquarters issued an order to cancel the Central China Expeditionary Army, and the 9th Army and the newly organized [-]th Army were directly under the Central China Expeditionary Army, but the interests of the Central China Expeditionary Army still existed.

Before the establishment of the Jinling Nationalist Government, there were the North China Provisional Government and the Jinling Restoration Government, which were controlled by the Japanese Army Ministry and Navy Ministry respectively, and also supported by the North China Expedition Army and the Central China Expedition Army respectively.

The follow-up Jinling National Government came from behind. After Wang’s set of combined punches, he first annexed the reform government, and then disintegrated the North China Provisional Government from within. Its leader Wang Kemin stepped down, and the North China Provisional Government changed its name to the North China Political Affairs Committee. .

In name, the North China Political Affairs Committee is an institution directly under the Jinling National Government, but in fact the Jinling National Government is just an empty name, with only symbolic power in North China.

The committee is nominally under the jurisdiction of Wang, enjoys a high degree of autonomy in the Wang puppet regime, has a "security army" directly under it, and has full powers to deal with the occupied areas of Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi provinces and the three special cities of Beiping, Tianjin, and Qingdao. Government affairs, Northern Henan and Eastern Henan in HEN Province are also under the jurisdiction of North China, and undertake the so-called tasks of preventing communism, public security, resource development, and adjusting the relationship between supply and demand of materials. Except for external relations, all aspects of internal affairs are actually not controlled by the Wang puppet government. , a puppet regime actually controlled by Japan.

The North China dispatched army ruled and supervised the administration of the entire North China puppet regime. The local Japanese garrisons in Hebei, Peiping, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan were responsible for "government guidance".

Unfortunately, the military counties under the jurisdiction of Zhang Lanfeng's puppet army were in eastern Henan and northern Anhui, and they belonged to North China and Central China respectively.

The conflict between the two sides existed before, and after Zhang Lanfeng's death, the ownership of the puppet army caused the conflict between the two sides to be on the verge of breaking out.

"Sun Sang, you go down first!" Makotosuke Murayama waved and said, Sun Liangcheng hurriedly left as if he had been pardoned.

After Sun Liangcheng left, Makotosuke Murayama said: "Mr. Kojima, it is not beneficial for you and me to disagree. They are all serving the Great Japanese Empire and loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. However, the appeasement army under Zhang Sang and Sun Sang There is no doubt that the establishment is subordinate to the Peaceful Nationalist Army of the Jinling Nationalist Government!"

"The interests of the Great Japanese Empire in China still need to be maintained by the Imperial Army itself, and the Jinling Nationalist Government is nothing more than a puppet controlled by the Empire!"

"I suggest that Sun and Zhang's troops can be reorganized by Sun Lai, and you will have full command at that time, but they will still belong to the Jinling National Government in name. What do you think?" Makotosuke Murayama's words are considered a concession. Where is his bottom line.

Kichizo Kojima nodded when he heard the words: "Yoxi, this method is very good!"

For Kojima Jizang, the North China Expeditionary Army represented by him has benefited, and he himself continues to have an armed force to devote himself to the security war in Southwest Shandong.

As for Murayama Makotosuke, the Jinling National Government he represented and even the Central China Expeditionary Army maintained their nominal advantages, and at the same time, he himself could continue to serve as a guide in Sun Liangcheng's department in the name of a consultant.

The agreement reached between the two also represents the easing of conflicts between the North China and Central China dispatched troops.

Sun Liangcheng's troops were the Fourth Army of the Appeasement Army, while Zhang Lanfeng's troops were the First Army and Eighth Army of the Appeasement Army. In the next few days, the troops of both sides were reorganized.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army is still preparing for battle, and the Eighth Route Army troops gathered in the southwestern area of ​​Shandong have already met the conditions for going to war.

The reinforcements gathered here include the First Regiment, the Third Regiment, the Artillery Regiment, and the Tainan Military Region Cavalry Regiment. The troops belonging to the Southwest Military Region of Shandong include the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, and local armed forces.

In terms of numbers alone, not including artillery and local troops, the number of participants in the main force has reached more than 9000.

Sensing that the time was ripe, Zhou Weihan reported to the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the name of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, and at the same time applied for assistance from brother troops in the Luxi Military Region and the Huxi Base Area.

At that time, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region can look for an opportunity to fight the main force of the Japanese and puppet forces from the west line, and the Luxi Military Region can restrain the Japanese army from the north line and the Huxi base area from the east line.

　I can't explain the complex internal relationship in one chapter, and I figured it out from the materials
