Age of Rebirth

~- -~180 Chapter [-] The Opportunity Ito Sees

Being able to sit on the throne of the king of a country, being able to command the arrogant and fierce generals of the Japanese army with the following traditions and rebelliousness, and being able to incite more than 1 million Japanese citizens into confusion, forgetting how much they are , clamoring to conquer the world, Emperor Hirohito naturally has his own unique way, among which, although there are factors of his old man and the shadow of the previous emperor, Hirohito's own head is by no means empty, and his methods are not bad.

Hirohito saw different things from this intelligence essence. This kind of thing depends on understanding, and people who are themselves cunning, plus a little vision and height of the king of a country, not those who bury their heads all day long. The experts in the intelligence pile are comparable.

Hirohito almost groaned, and he came to a conclusion, "The Americans will definitely join hands with Tang Qiuli." Looking at the terrified eyes of Lieutenant General Nakamura Taro, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of the headquarters, Hirohito sighed and recovered. With a normal demeanor, he said: "Aiqing Nakamura, the analysis data of your intelligence bureau is very good and detailed, and can provide valuable reference for the imperial army troops fighting on the front line, but your conclusions are not It is wrong, the Americans will do whatever it takes to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli."

Nakamura Taro almost collapsed, "My Majesty the Emperor, can you not make such a scary move, I thought you were going to die?" Hearing Hirohito's praise of the work of his department, Nakamura was overjoyed and heard Nakamura was startled again when he judged that the intelligence conclusions of his own department were wrong, and asked almost subconsciously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being dull, I don't quite understand?" [

Yuren couldn't help but want to scold "pig head!" But he knew that the frightened lieutenant general in front of him had confused logical thinking and was in extreme panic. If he scolded him again, this guy might commit suicide by caesarean section , Forget it, since he brought something of value like a monkey offering a treasure, let me remind him.

Hirohito's face softened more and more, and he said: "Nakamura Aiqing, as the head of the Imperial Army's intelligence department, you know more about MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military, than anyone else. With this American character, he will not hesitate. What does it mean to sacrifice the lives of 38 soldiers of our own country and take a blow to the reputation and dignity of the US military to curry favor with Tang Qiuli, the devil of China?"

Speaking of this, even if it is a lumpy head, it should be enlightened. Nakamura swallowed a mouthful of foam, bowed deeply, and said in reverence: "Your Majesty is wise and heavenly, and I am convinced. I have been taught, I will go back immediately and do it again," Hirohito laughed, anyway, being admired by his subordinates is a very good feeling.

Hirohito shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Although the conclusion is wrong, the other analysis is detailed and there is no need to change it. You can step back." Seeing Nakamura's back disappearing in front of his eyes, his brows tightened wrinkled.

Like Lieutenant General Nakamura Taro in the clouds, he has an extremely complicated feeling that he has been affirmed by His Majesty, but made a fatal mistake. He admires Emperor Hirohito's thoughtfulness, and is even more impressed by His Majesty's means. He came to an astonishing conclusion, that is not something ordinary people can do, at least it is the body of a demigod, he did not see the worried eyes of Emperor Hirohito.

The Intelligence Bureau of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters sent out the intelligence analysis of the frontline Japanese troops. Other Japanese commanders may not pay much attention to it. However, General Ito Gensaburo, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, is definitely interested in the intelligence analysis of the frontline Japanese troops in central Burma. The stalemate in the Riho area has made Ito, who has always hoped for a quick solution to the Burmese issue, very uncomfortable.

The troops of the Independent Division neither attacked nor retreated. They always kept pressure on the Japanese troops on the front line of Mandalay. , That will also pay an unbearable price. What makes Ito most restless is the two main corps of the Independent Division that are slowly pushing into the front line of Mandalay from the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

Although Ito is desperately trying to recover, it will take time. By early September, the Southeast Asian dispatched army has only recovered to two-thirds of its heyday strength. According to this speed, it will not be able to reach its original level until late October. During this period, Ito's troops absolutely could not withstand the two-sided attack from the independent division troops.

The dullness of the front line and the premonition that a huge danger is approaching makes this Japanese sword in Southeast Asia sleepless all night, thinking hard about a solution. No matter what he thinks, there is only one way. For the independent division troops approaching from the north and east, Concentrate troops and equipment, break one way, and then face the other way, but this is another big problem.

Leaving the defense line of the Libao Grand Canyon and actively attacking the independent division troops on the front line of Mogok?Ito thinks he is not crazy. Perhaps, Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil, is waiting for him to leave the dangerous terrain and take the initiative to attack. The competition between the two sides is patience. The one who can't bear it first and makes the first move will fall into the opponent's trap among.

Solve the independent division troops coming from the east first?Perhaps, this is exactly what Tang Qiuli hoped for, weakening the frontal defense of the Libao Grand Canyon. The independent division troops on the front line of Mogok took the opportunity to attack. If the incoming independent division troops are entangled, that is the situation of attacking from front to back.

It is more likely that the independent division troops coming from the east are Tang Qiuli's suspects. It drove Ito crazy, and it was even more impossible to stand still. The independent division troops from the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, but the real two corps, faced each other face to face, and there were tens of thousands of people.

This kind of pressure was tangible and heavy. Ito still couldn't figure out another problem. Since Tang Qiuli formed a strategic encirclement of himself from two directions, why didn't he attack immediately?What is he waiting for?What's the bigger conspiracy?Is it an attempt to wipe out more troops of the imperial army after replenishing his own troops?

It's a mess, Ito's mind is full of these messy questions all day long. One thing, he clearly realizes that if he doesn't break this deadlock, he will wait for the independent division troops to complete their strategic deployment and gradually reduce the maneuvering space of the imperial army. , for myself and the dispatched troops in Southeast Asia, it is a mortal danger, a danger of being slowly suffocated until painful death.

The intelligence analysis of the General Staff Intelligence Bureau of the base camp made Ito's eyes bright. He was especially interested in the part of Tang Qiuli's character analysis. In the contest of wisdom, Ito thought that his brains were full and even had a surplus, so he took a series of actions to target Tang Qiuli's weakness in character.

It can not only break the current deadlock, but also irritate Tang Qiuli, causing him to make a fatal mistake and give himself a chance to win. Ito's head is really fast enough. He also has the same worries and worries as Emperor Hirohito. Qiuli reached an agreement with the Americans, and Chen Bing, the Americans in Luzon, stabbed himself in the back.

Thinking about it, Ito broke into a cold sweat. Although Ito sneered at the combat effectiveness of the US military, but in this passive situation of fighting on two sides, no, three sides, even if Ito had three heads and six arms, the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire were fearless and brave. Southeast Asia The fate of the dispatched army is that the entire army will be wiped out, or all jade will be broken, and the result will be an ugly death.

Only a strange move can stir up the frozen pool of water. Ito ordered the staff, "Immediately order all divisions to search for the captain of the brigade, and go to the general headquarters to attend an emergency military meeting." Seeing that the staff was a little confused, Ito cursed in a low voice, "eight Ga! Hurry up and go!" The little staff officer rushed out as if flying, and looked back at the commander-in-chief a few times.

No wonder he was confused. Since the formation of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, there has never been a general commander-in-chief. Leaving aside those generals at the division and brigade level, there are precedents for calling some minors and middle officers to hold military meetings. This is not a violation of the rules. ?Moreover, those rogue troops who were notorious among the imperial army were summoned. Who are the search teams?Soldier, villain and murderer. [

On the night of September [-]th, in front of the most upscale hotel in downtown Manila, the guards were heavily guarded. There was a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps. As if facing an enemy, the U.S. military police set up a military restricted area within a five-kilometer radius of the hotel. The isolation belt formed by barbed wire turned the hotel, which was usually full of feasting and feasting, into a fortified military fortress.

Unknowingly, the wealthy and rascals in Manila still come here for entertainment as always. Among other things, the hot body of the hotel waitress and the revealing dress are a feast for the eyes. He stopped him, and just about to argue a few words, the butt of the gun came up.

These wealthy and vagrants who can afford it are not famous in Manila and can walk sideways, but in the eyes of the U.S. military police, they are still not good enough. They are similar to those who pick up garbage in the corner, but they just wear better clothes. It is equivalent to a little more advanced slaves. These Manila citizens who feel very good about themselves and feel that they are superior, realize the gap between themselves and the Americans.

That is the gap between status and status, and it cannot be changed with two dollars. Looking at them, they are either in military uniforms, or in suits and leather shoes, holding jeweled ladies or famous ladies, striding into the Manila Hotel, those blue Westerners with eyes, yellow hair, and arrogant demeanor can only swallow their saliva.

The reason for keeping the Filipinos out is very simple. The commander-in-chief of the US military in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, General MacArthur, is going to hold a grand welcome reception here today. Welcome to Manila to participate in the Allied Supreme Military The senior generals of various countries at the meeting, the Americans can represent the Philippines, so people from the banana country are not invited.
