My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 177
After the report was over, the bald boss waved his hand and motioned Director Dai to leave.

When he left, Director Dai's calm expression was filled with deep worry.

Having been a subordinate for so long, Director Dai is already very familiar with his boss, but even today, he still cannot perfectly guess what his boss thinks.

To be precise, it can only be speculated partly.

He can guess, and even be sure, what his boss's next move will be.

Actions against the North China group.

Although in the mind of his bald boss, the priority of eliminating the North China group may be higher than that of the devils, but in the current domestic situation, the Japanese are still the number one threat.

This threat is deadly and cannot be delayed or compromised.

No matter how unhappy the boss is in his heart, he must deal with the devils first, at most, use some of his strength to weaken the North China group.

But after the battle of Yangcun, the situation changed slightly.

The group of people in the North China area is rapidly becoming stronger, and they have made the little devil suffer a lot.

The North China area is occupied by the devils. In the plan of the devils, it is very important to use it as a rear station to provide supplies and logistical support for the army.

This provides the possibility to drive away wolves and tigers,
But the devil's threat is deadly and imminent. Unless the devil mobilizes the main force from the front line, the boss can only maintain the current situation and deploy the main force on the front line to confront the devil.

However, his boss will definitely deploy a small part of the main force to North China and their so-called rear border area.

One is to strengthen the blockade and restrictions on those people,

Secondly, it is also a signal for the Japanese to fight each other with the group of people in North China.

This has no effect on Director Dai.

What troubles him is that the boss has not made a statement so far, whether to let him or the Central Committee deal with and investigate the North China group.

still is,

Go together?

There is another question, how will the Japanese deal with the group of people in North China?
···
"It's not a security issue anymore."

"It is the imperial occupation area, and North China is being taken away by the enemy."

In the prime minister's mansion, in the conference room, Minai Guangzheng looked around at the important imperial ministers present, with a loud and stern voice:
"We must immediately concentrate our forces and eliminate those guerrillas."

"Then give up those unnecessary sites."

An important minister stood up suddenly, and his voice was equally loud:
"The mountainous areas where the guerrillas are entrenched, occupying these places, does not make any sense for the empire."

"Using the North China region as a military depot, from the current point of view, is not feasible at all."

"Even without the guerrillas, it is impossible for those people from the Republic of China to integrate into the imperial army and become soldiers. Forcibly recruiting will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the locust army, and even drag the locust army down."

"Judging from the battles in the past six months, the imperial association army that the empire spent manpower and material resources on is useless. Instead, it was a waste of the empire's power, and even became a source of weapons, ammunition and supplies for the guerrillas."

"As for the resources in North China, the cost of development is too high, and there is no oil and rubber that the empire urgently needs, and the food production is seriously insufficient."

"The same is true for the entire Republic of China."

"We only need to maintain the current control over the lines of communication and important cities, and use the North China region as a dumping ground for imperial goods. In this way, we can save our troops and invest them in more important battlefields, and also alleviate the financial difficulties of the empire."

Minai Mitsumasa glanced at this important minister and narrowed his eyes.

This person is a hardcore southward faction.

Although after the group of mysterious forces attacked the high-ranking officers of the empire successively, and even after the incident on the King Kong, Prince Zairen no longer pushed for the southward movement, which led to the disintegration of the southward faction.

But with the support of King Fushimi Gong Hiroshi, the Nanxia faction still occupies half of the country.

The country needs oil, rubber, and food, which only Southeast Asia can provide for the empire.

Although it can be purchased from the United States at present, the quantity exported by the United States is only enough for the consumption of the empire, and it cannot be stored for backup at all. The intention of the United States to indirectly control the strategy of the empire with the help of resources is very obvious.

If a strong country cannot control important resources in its hands, it cannot be called a strong country at all.

but···
"In this case, it won't take long for the empire to completely lose North China, and even the entire Republic of China."

Minai Mitsumasa sneered:
"Currently, the guerrillas in North China already have the strength to defeat the imperial division-level troops head-on, and have obtained very advanced light weapons. The range of their 60-caliber artillery is twice that of the same level in the world."

"Moreover, they have obtained sufficient supplies, and they are organizing millions of people to build roads, dig farmland, and build water conservancy facilities to consolidate the territory and expand the army at a high speed."

"It won't be long before their strength will grow explosively."

"If you don't destroy them when they are weak, in the future, I am afraid that even North China will be lost, and even threaten the interests of the empire in China."

"Then let them out!"

Which important minister who spoke looked disdainful:
"They were able to defeat the Hattori brigade because of the complex terrain in the mountains, which limited the use of the empire's heavy equipment, and they were backed by the supply station, which was convenient for supply."

"As long as they leave the mountains, the empire can easily defeat them."

Although the Hundred Regiments War caused the devils to lose a lot of territory, especially in Shanxi, almost only the territory around the railway remained. In the battle of Yangcun, the Hattori brigade suffered heavy losses, but from the perspective of the devils' base camp, it was just two small-scale battles.

Small setback.

The Eighth Route Army, which is gradually growing in strength, is nothing more than a small trouble.

"Based on the current situation, it is basically certain that the group of mysterious forces that continuously attacked the imperial officers and the King Kong were the forces that supported the guerrillas."

Minei Guangzheng didn't waste his time talking about this. He also thought that the Eighth Route Army was just a small trouble and didn't deserve too much attention. Instead, he quickly moved the topic to the next one.

"Could it be that the other party is allowed to attack imperial officers and military facilities?"

As soon as the topic came out, the complexions of all the devils and important officials present changed one after another.

Compared with Tubalu, this group of mysterious forces who have repeatedly attacked senior officers and seem to have a deep grasp of the empire's high-level intelligence is the real trouble for the empire.

This group of people can even attack the King Kong and completely rush the goods.

This is much more damage to the locust army than the so-called Hundred Regiments War and the Battle of Yangcun.

is a big trouble.

A big trouble that I don't even know how to solve.

"idiot··"

At this point in the discussion, the meeting gradually spiraled out of control, and eventually turned into a war of words, and neither the southward faction nor the conservative faction could convince the other.

In the end, the meeting again was hasty and unproductive.

"Hey··"

In the unpleasant atmosphere, a group of devils and important officials left the scene one after another, leaving only the big-headed Mitsumasa Minai sighing silently.

In the area occupied by the Republic of China, the strength of the guerrillas increased day by day, which led to the almost complete failure of the military station plan in North China.The mysterious forces attacked the imperial officers many times, and they succeeded this time. The southern offensive was repeatedly blocked. The mountain city still refuses to surrender and still resists tenaciously.

Almost none of the imperial military strategies were successful.

In China, almost half of the voices demanded to go south, demanded war against Britain and the United States, and even the locusts were also moved. If it weren't for the King Kong incident, the continuous attacks on military officers in the Republic of China battlefield, and the recent liberalization of business restrictions in the United States, I am afraid that the plan would have It has begun to enter the substantive stage.

He knew that the navy had already formulated a combat plan for Pearl Harbor, and carried out targeted carrier-based aircraft torpedo-throwing training, and even initially held training exercises on secret islands.

The failure of the military strategy and the division of the base camp made Minai Mitsumasa a headache.

"prime minister."

At this moment, a secretary ran in and reported to Minei Guangzhenghui:
"Information from the Republic of China, Guofu has dispatched about 3 troops from the front line to North China and the western mountains..."

"Ok?"

Minai Mitsumasa narrowed his eyes immediately:
"This is to induce the empire to mobilize front-line troops to eliminate Tubalu?"

He immediately sensed the bald man's thoughts.

"Humph."

Minai Mitsumasa snorted coldly, with a disdainful tone.

He attaches great importance to Tuba Road, not because that group is powerful and threatening.

Even if it is not a security threat, but a threat that will lead to the loss of the empire's occupied area, so what?

It's just a matter of safety in an occupied area of ​​the empire.

Although the Empire of Japan is not as powerful as the old-fashioned countries such as Germany, France, Britain and the United States, it is also an industrial power that has accumulated industrial capital for nearly a hundred years. It has a complete air force and army, and its combined fleet is among the top three in the world.

Even if the group of Tuba Road has external assistance, it is almost impossible to have the strength to compete head-on with the empire in a short time.

Even if the aid force is the United States, it is impossible.

Give them a hundred planes, not so many pilots, no ground crew.

The development and strength of a force requires a long period of accumulation, especially talents and infrastructure.

The fact that the Tuba Road cannot be dealt with now is not because the empire has nothing to do with a group of local forces, but because the troops are scattered and cannot spare enough force to deal with this group of guerrillas.

He now emphasizes that this group of people is just using the reason of Tubalu to correct the direction of the empire's chariot, concentrate on solving the problem of the Republic of China first, digest and absorb the Republic of China, and then go south to compete with Britain and the United States to fight for the future of the empire .

As long as the empire concentrates its forces to solve the problem of logistical supplies, at that time, whether it is the people in the mountain city or the guerrillas, they can be easily eliminated.

The only thing that troubled him was the mysterious forces that attacked the imperial officers and the King Kong.

After such a long period of full investigation, there are still no clues, even who the enemy is. At present, it is still unclear how the other party transported the materials to North China.

as well as,

How strong is the opponent?
What is the purpose?
Judging from the current abilities of this group of people, I am afraid that there are great powers behind them. What is the purpose of supporting the Tuba Road to deal with the locust army and the empire?
Minai Mitsumasa is well aware that any behavior of a powerful international force is accompanied by a purpose.

It's a pity that according to the currently known information, we only know that the mysterious forces that aided the guerrillas only asked Tuba to kill the imperial locust army.

never possible,

This group of people spent such a huge price to aid the Tuba Road, just to kill the locust army, right?
···
"Transfer to the reserves?"

Beiping, looking at the order in his hand, Naotomi Hattori sighed.

Although he had expected it in his heart and was prepared in his heart, when the order really came to him, he still found it difficult to accept it.

Because of the failure of the Battle of Yangcun, and the subsequent refusal of the superior's order to rescue the two besieged regiments, resulting in the death of more than [-] locust troops, he was removed from the position of brigade commander and transferred to the reserve.

This means that his military career has come to an end.

However, in the order, apart from scolding in writing, there is no substantive punishment, and there is no clear date for his return to China. He is allowed to move freely and decide the date of return to China by himself.

Come to think of it, it was General Okabe who said good things to him.

Shaking his head, Naotomi Hattori put down the order in his hand.

He doesn't want to stay in this North China region.

January is approaching, when the time comes, maybe he will be assassinated tomorrow, and his death is unknown.

But the King Kong incident shows that the country seems to be unsafe. If those people feel uncomfortable killing a few imperial generals every month and want to make a big wave, the country may be even more dangerous.

so·

"Arrange, I'm going to Xuzhou in the south."

Naotomi Hattori decided to sneak away before January came.

go south

Because, that group of people has not attacked the locust army officers in the south yet.

"Hi."

Although he retired and transferred to the reserve, as a major general, and because of his favor, Okabe Naozaburo still arranged for a detachment of guards.

The next day,

Hattori Naotomi disguised himself as an ordinary devil, not a devil soldier, but an ordinary devil, and his identity was a businessman. Accompanied by several entourages, he ran all the way to Xuzhou.
