Age of Rebirth

In the past few days, Prince Ren's mood has been terrible, and life is even more difficult. The several big air battles over the Strait of Malacca, Le Yiqin and a few mouthfuls, incited him to stare, embarrassing the majestic Chief of Staff They were all thrown to grandma's house.

Those antique-level old fellows of Nogi’s family were stubborn and upset him, and the attitude of the emperor’s elder brother made him afraid. There were also different voices in the base camp, questioning whether he was capable enough, continue Assuming the position of chief of staff, the reason is very simple, a battle that must be won with the cooperation of sea, land and air, ended in a disastrous defeat.

Not even a single hair of the China Fleet was injured, and they were included in the Third Fleet. Someone has to take responsibility for this, right?A battle was fought so that the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Army could not bear the face. What ability does it have to command things at the strategic level?

Ren was suffering and couldn't tell. After the war, he sent a telegram and inquired in detail about the disastrous defeat of the Seventh Air Force. The surviving pilots told him what a large fleet is. Can Ren tell anyone that the strength of the Great Japanese Empire is not as good as that China devil Tang Qiuli?Isn't that self-inflicted?

Although the main factor of the failure was successfully transferred to the Americans, so as not to be beaten to the end by His Majesty the Emperor in front of those old fellows of the Nogi family, the gloomy eyes of the Emperor's elder brother still made him shudder He made it clear that he has lost the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, or in other words, he no longer obeys his words. [

In the end, His Majesty's decree was to contemplate mistakes behind closed doors. The position of Chief of Staff will be temporarily held by Deputy Chief of Staff Ishihara Wanji. Prince Ren went home dejectedly. Fortunately, he was not beaten to death with a stick. right way.Just thinking about it made Ren feel troubled. He had just been squatting at home for two days, and when he received an order, His Majesty the Emperor held an imperial meeting.

He came with his head drooping.On the way into the palace, the eyes of those big bosses in the base camp were all wrong, and I also felt that I had suffered a three-pointer, a defeated general. Now, the emperor's brother looked at him again, and Ren broke out in a cold sweat.To say that now, besides Tang Qiuli, he is even more afraid of Le Yiqin.

He was messing around in the southeast of China, and his old rival, Le Yiqin, was the first one to ask for his opinion. have no idea?Match up again.It is estimated that there is no good fruit to eat.

Ren turned his head around and had an idea. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor. I am thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors, and I feel that I am not qualified to participate in this matter. But my brother is the acting chief of staff Ishihara-kun. I have heard about Ishihara for a long time. You are a genius in the military circle of our empire, and he is known for his strategy, why don't we listen to his advice?"

Emperor Hirohito's first reaction was "sly," and he looked over at Jin, and looked at Ishihara, who was sitting upright, smiling.Ishihara was not polite, stood up and said: "The minister and the general staff fully agree with His Majesty's judgment. What we have to do is how to deal with the possible situation and defeat the delusions of the Chinese people. Instead of chattering and wasting time."

Ren's complexion was not very good-looking, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, you represent the General Staff before you formally push me down? Can't wait!" The faces of the ministers and generals were also extremely ugly, There is no one who is not tired of this guy, Shi Yuan smiled and talked about everyone, including his seniors in the army.

Emperor Hirohito smiled, looked at Ishihara Wanji's eyes softly, and saw that Prince Ren was burning with jealousy, "Ishihara Wanji's acting chief of the general staff and Lieutenant General Hanayama Xiuyi, the director of the military intelligence bureau of the base camp, will stay. , The meeting can be adjourned, see, even Ren is not qualified to stay, participating in confidential affairs, disappointment, absolute disappointment, has filled Prince Ren's heart.

After careful analysis of the situation, Hirohito, Ishihara Waner, and the intelligence chief came up with two countermeasures, one bright and the other dark. Clearly, the navy's first, second, and fourth fleets were ordered to move closer to the mainland. They are all in a state of preparation, including the local land-based air force, and the No.13 and No.20 air forces on the Korean peninsula. They are unified to form the Homeland Air Defense Front Army. Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji, the acting chief of the general staff, serves as the commander and overall command All the air forces foiled the plot of China's planes to attack the mainland.

Secretly, for the bottom line, Lieutenant General Huashan Xiuyi, the director of the intelligence bureau of the base camp, was in charge. He used imperial agents lurking in Shanghai to assassinate the two commanders of the independent division, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, at any cost. When two of Qiuli's generals died, Tang Qiuli's plot naturally went bankrupt, and he was in a hurry to clean up the mess. The empire could have plenty of time to arrange this matter.

Emperor Hirohito naturally didn't believe that Tang Qiuli would do such a crazy thing, but he would rather believe it than believe it. Once a bomb fell on the mainland, he, the half-human, half-god emperor, would be ashamed The bigger, more far-reaching impact is that it is the biggest blow to the morale of the imperial army and the confidence of the people.

He was still fighting and killing outside, and his own home was blown up, and his old nest was lost, so what the hell did he go to expand the territory?Why are you still thinking about other people's things?Therefore, Hirohito said that he gave the judgment of the ministers and generals because of the above reasons. Besides, the neurotic Hirohito could not think of any reasonable reason to explain the actions of the Chinese lunatic.

If Emperor Hirohito knew that Tang Qiuli went to war just for a mere Okinawa Island, and made himself so nervous that he couldn't sleep or eat, he might be so angry that he vomited blood.

Following an order from the General Staff of the base camp, all the air forces in Japan were assembled in the mainland, and they were very busy. Le Yiqin, who had just arrived in Shanghai, and the Air Force of the Independent Division who arrived the day before, the Northern Flying Group Major General Liu Cuigang, the commander, was immersed in the joy of reuniting his old friends, completely unaware that the two had already been on Hirohito's assassination list.

Le Yiqin's fighter plane landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Liu Cuigang had been waiting at the end of the runway early on. As soon as Le Yiqin jumped off the plane, Liu Cuigang rushed to meet him. After a few hard punches, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were separated from the north and the south, each in charge of a war zone, and they hadn't seen each other for almost two years.

The old friend reunited, naturally very happy, Liu Cuigang looked at Le Yiqin, and said: "I said, man, it's not interesting, you drink and eat meat in the Indochina Peninsula, you make a lot of money, there are big and small battles every day, and you fight well." You have a good time, and you don’t say anything, even the request of the two of us to switch positions, you insisted that the teacher refused to agree, I am in Beiping, but I feel panicked, no, I have grown fat!"

Le Yiqin smiled with indescribable pride, "Cuigang, I won't hide it from you, even this time our two flight groups will join forces, I am not willing, just relying on the strength of our Southern Flight Group, the fart If you say that it is impossible to erase the place from the map, but it is not difficult to uproot the remaining little devils, so I told the teacher, you are spared."

Liu Cuigang's complexion was a bit ugly. Seeing that this guy was crazy, what's the matter? He was used to eating alone, so he asked calmly, "What did you say, Master?" He wanted to tell Le Yiqin's truth. , also curious, how did the teacher answer this guy.

Le Yiqin grinned, and said heartlessly: "Hey, don't mention it, I was beaten by the teacher, and said that my current state is not suitable for this joint operation commander. If I want to change, I will quickly Admit your mistake, no, hurry over here, I know that even if the teacher is replaced, he can only be replaced by you, and you are the only one who has the qualifications."

Liu Cuigang laughed loudly, and said viciously, "You deserve it, you asked for it!" Le Yiqin's eyes widened, "What a gloat, I dare say that you are far above the emperor, and you want to be scolded, but you don't have the conditions!" Liu Cuigang After a while, "I said, dude, I haven't seen you in two years, you are good at thick-skinned! Do you eat alone?" [

The two talked and laughed, hooked their shoulders, got into a jeep, and the two guards who followed behind were dumbfounded. Usually, the two big men of the independent division aviation are definitely not like this. Today, the two major generals , Just like children bickering, it is also a scene, which is really eye-opening, but the brotherhood and comradeship contained in it are so strong that these young guards are deeply moved.

When they arrived at the headquarters, both of them were veterans with rich experience. In one afternoon, they quickly finalized the action plan. After modifying it tomorrow, they can report it to the teacher. Looking at the time, it is already seven or eight o'clock in the evening , Outside, the neon lights of Shanghai are flashing, colorful and dazzled the eyes.

Le Yiqin turned her head around and said to Liu Cuigang: "Cuigang, since you arrived in Dingbian, you haven't been here in this big Shanghai for four or five years. Today, when I arrive at my defense zone, I will do my best to be a landlord." Yi, let's change into casual clothes, without any guards, how about finding a bar and talking about the old days? You should relax, but let's make an agreement. When we meet the teacher, no one is allowed to reveal a word! "

The reunion of old friends, coupled with the prosperity of Shanghai, brought back Liu Cuigang's dusty memories. The action plan has been completed, and he said happily: "Well, do you remember the bar we used to go to? Let's go there , Why, do you have someone you are afraid of?"

Le Yiqin smiled embarrassedly, and replied: "I'm afraid of the teacher." The two aviation major generals went back to the room to fiddle for a while, changed into suits, dressed like a rich young master, and sneaked away without telling the guards. He came out, called two rickshaws, and headed towards the familiar bar. The street was full of people, and the two of them were quickly submerged in the crowd.

Three black cars were separated by a certain distance, and they were not far or close to the back of the two rickshaws. Such a situation can be seen everywhere in the streets of Shanghai, and it is very common.
