Age of Rebirth

Emperor Hirohito's imperial military meeting went to such an extent, and I can't blame these bigwigs. They are not fools. The situation is obvious. Stalin's such a big fight is definitely not aimed at that Chinese devil, Tang Qiuli. After killing the independent division troops , the next target is the Kwantung Army, no one doubts this.

Precisely because the situation is very clear, it is difficult to make a decision. There are only two roads before the Kwantung Army. One is to retreat from the Outer Xing'an Mountains and retreat to the territory of Manchuria. Vladivostok, the port in Japan's backyard, spit it out and returned it to the Russians, and then sent special envoys to negotiate with the Russians. In this way, the Kwantung Army can retreat unscathed.

The other way is to fight to the death with the Soviet army in the Far East and swear to the death to protect the interests that have already been obtained. The Great Japanese Empire has not had the habit of spitting out what it eats. Although the military generals have this idea, they can You have to have the guts, no.

As long as he doesn't have a high fever to the point of being confused, or is so arrogant that he doesn't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick, that person understands what the current situation is. The Kwantung Army can only stalemate in the face of the Soviet Far East Front Army's two million troops, and cannot break the Soviet Union. Otherwise, with the Kwantung Army's bravery, it wouldn't have spent more than two years with the Russians on the outer Xing'an Mountains.

The first way can be said to be the safest way at present. Japan has nothing to lose, and what is given up is only land snatched from the Russians. , The Great Japanese Empire was timid, retreated, and was afraid of the Russians. [

The person who puts forward this suggestion first will definitely become the accusation of everyone, be spurned by the fanatical citizens, be drowned by public opinion, and be labeled a "coward".I definitely can't run away. If His Majesty the Emperor uses his own head to thank the people of the country in order to calm the boiling public opinion in the country, it will be even more wronged to die!

The second way can gain a good reputation, but the price is more than 150 million Kwantung Army and more than 400 million troops transferred from the direction of the Soviet Union and Europe.In addition, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army has more than 150 million troops, which together reach a huge military strength of nearly 600 million. Even if the Soviets don't fight, they can drown 150 million Kwantung Army soldiers with their own people. After the army was wiped out.What about Manchuria?

Don't forget, there is also the number one general under the command of China Devil Tang Qiuli, the 60 million troops under the command of Commander Liu Tiehan of the Independent Division, who are eyeing the west of Liaoning. thoughts.

If the Kwantung Army is defeated in the Far East, it will be lost.Not only the Far East, but also Manchuria. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor will be held accountable for the loss of cities and lands, loss of troops and generals. Those who fought hard at the beginning must be the first to suffer.

With His Majesty's cruel and merciless style, and a gloomy and neurotic personality, can there be good fruit to eat?

This is a dilemma.Those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with the Soviets will be labeled as "cowards" and "traitors", and will end up not much better. Those who propose to fight to the death with nearly 600 million Soviet troops in the Far East, Kanto The day the army was defeated.Even when I am unlucky, I can't ask for good over there, so, Japanese military and political officials.With the mentality that disaster comes from the mouth, let's keep silent.

Emperor Hirohito sang a one-man show by himself, and chattered for more than three hours. His mouth was dry and his throat was smoldering. Nai, the military and political officials below are like bodhisattvas in the temple, with low eyebrows and eyes. He listened attentively and put on a pious attitude of listening to His Majesty the Emperor's teachings, but he didn't say a word, and there wasn't even anyone who echoed his voice or slapped his feet.

Even the generals of the army and navy who have always been misaligned and would fight each other at every meeting, for the first time, there are no red-eyed chickens. It doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Hirohito was bitter for a while. These officials, who were usually talkative, rushed to talk one by one, as if they were afraid that they would not show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. What happened today? Are you dumb?

Emperor Hirohito had a gloomy face, glanced around with cold eyes, and said coldly: "My dear friends, whoever has good suggestions and statements, even if you say it in front of me, at the moment of the Great Japanese Empire At a time when interests are at stake, dear friends, please share my worries for me!"

General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, is the first time to participate in such a high-level imperial military meeting. Originally, he was the first to bear the brunt. The 400 million Soviet troops came to his Kwantung Army. After thinking about it, I found that I didn't know what to say to His Majesty the Emperor.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the territory of the Far East. Even if the big guy here makes such a suggestion, he will jump out and oppose it. Is it easy for him to command the Kwantung Army troops and fight the Soviet Army? It was only after a bloody battle that today's situation came about. It was the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who sacrificed their lives for it.

However, Nanjiro didn't have the courage to fight the Soviet army with all hands and feet. Even if the Soviet army's reinforcements came with 100 million people, the Kwantung Army still had the courage and strength to fight the Soviet army to the death. It is 400 million Soviet troops, plus Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army, the ratio of troops is six to one. How to fight this battle does not include the difference in heavy equipment.

Even though the Kwantung Army is the flower of the Japanese Army, brave and good at fighting, the spirit of Bushido is not afraid of death, and General Nanjiro has commanded operations to the level of proficiency, but facing the absolutely superior Soviet army, General Nanjiro is secretly timid and has to Weighing the comparison of strength, I can't afford to be desperate.

Now, after hearing His Majesty's words from the bottom of his heart, General Nanjiro felt that every cell in his body was beating, and the blood in his chest rushed to his face with a "huh". Sharing worries for His Majesty the Emperor is the responsibility and sacred mission of every soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire. What's more, the battlefield of the decisive battle is in his own theater. , but also to fight to the death with the Soviet army.

Thinking of this, Nanjiro is going to stand up and state his point of view. Of course, he is the one who advocates the battle. Before he could stand up, he was kicked heavily on his left calf. He turned his head and looked over in surprise. , the Minister of the Army Mitsuko Miuchi, who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips tightly, and there was no movement on his face, but Nanjiro knew that the one who kicked him must be the number one boss of the army.

This kick was like a needle piercing the bulging balloon. General Nanjiro's blood burst out suddenly, and his feverish mind dropped to freezing point in an instant. He was secretly afraid of his actions, so dangerous. , almost made the first bird.

Just imagine, which of the big shots here is not more powerful than yourself, not more politically experienced than yourself, they would not have thought of this?Certainly not, the water here is very deep!

I am not in the center of power, and I don't know the intricate relationship among them, let alone the depth of the water. If I plunge into it rashly, I will choke a few saliva if I don't drown. His kick was equivalent to saving his life. [

The atmosphere of the meeting was frozen and embarrassing. Others could make clay sculptures and wood sculptures, but Prince Xianyuan Gongzairen, the chief of the general staff of the base camp, could no longer remain silent, because the eyes of his elder brother, the emperor, were already staring at him sinisterly. If you don't speak, you probably won't be able to escape.

With Prince Zairen's cunning and scheming, of course he knew why these ministers of civil and military affairs who were usually talkative, kept silent. In fact, I was also very embarrassed, but it was absolutely impossible not to speak.

Prince Zairen stood up slowly, stared at Emperor Hirohito, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the situation in the Far East is very clear. Stalin used more than 400 million troops to eliminate it in one fell swoop. The Eastern Territory has all the elements of a threat, that is to say, the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in Outer Mongolia and our Kwantung Army troops on the outer Xing'an Mountains will definitely become the targets of the Soviets."

Prince Zairen did have some tricks. What he said was thorough and hit the nail on the head, but it was no different from nonsense. The big boss here is not full of muddleheadedness. He can still see the situation in the Far East. His Majesty wants to solutions, not situational analysis.

Prince Zairen also felt the impatience and disdain of the bosses, but he was not in a hurry, but went on to say: "My lords, facing the pressure of the Soviet army, it is absolutely difficult for the Kwantung Army alone to resist. , The empire involved too much energy in the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, and could not deploy troops to support the Far East battlefield. Judging from the direction of the Soviet army's assembly, the attack should start from the west of the Ural Mountains. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops in Outer Mongolia , will bear the brunt of the Soviet army's attack target."

"For today's plan, the countermeasures of our Great Japanese Empire should be like this. The Kwantung Army troops stand still, maintain the status quo, and wait and see the development of the battlefield situation. If Tang Qiuli's troops are quickly defeated by the Soviet army, we will then rely on the specific situation. According to the situation, take corresponding countermeasures.”

"If Tang Qiuli's army, the devil of China, has been fighting with the Soviet army for a long time, we might as well reach a secret agreement with the Soviets or the devil of China, one of them, when the two sides are exhausted, and then send troops. Trying to defeat the other side, but my opinion tends to reach a compromise with the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, and jointly deal with the Soviets. The two evils are the lesser of two evils. I don’t know what your Majesty the Emperor and the princes think of my proposal ?”
