Age of Rebirth

As far as descending the donkey from the slope requires conditions, it is best to not show any traces when it is natural. The person who dismounts the donkey takes it for granted, and the person who gives the steps is exquisite. Both are indispensable. Zai Ren just said too much, it is not good In the end, the words of the senior staff officer named Yamada were almost too hot, and it seemed artificial!

Prince Zairen shook his head, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Yamata-san, there is a way for you to say, but because I am the commander-in-chief of the Far East of the Empire, I should go to the place where the battle is the fiercest and cruelest." To command, you should be with me as a soldier, thank you Yamada-kun for your suggestion!" He glanced at a dozen senior generals with different expressions, and said lightly: "Masters, go prepare, we should all Have the courage!"

A group of senior officers of the Japanese army, their faces became extremely ugly. The generals of the Great Japanese Empire are not afraid of death, and dare to face death, but knowing that they are going to die, and there are moths thrown into the fire, then it is not Brave and pretentious, but extremely stupid!

The senior staff officer, Major General Yamada, is neither in a hurry nor annoyed. He has been in the imperial military circle for many years. In an instant, I caught a trace of change and emotion in His Royal Highness' gaze, and the content contained in it could not be hidden from my own eyes.

The actions of His Royal Highness are more of an attitude, "I don't believe it anymore, he is not afraid of death? He is lying to ghosts?" Of course, I don't have to accompany the thin ass and hard shit to die, what should I say? , It's also worth it, Yamada secretly slandered in his heart, giving a step down is the most important thing right now, it depends on whether the step is suitable, it's very skillful!

The senior staff officer, Yamada, stepped forward heavily, just like going to the execution ground. The colleagues who wanted to go out made gestures, turned to Prince Zairen and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the headquarters has moved forward to the place where the Kwantung Army headquarters is located." , It takes more than a day's journey, and the road conditions along the way are very bad, and the radio signal is greatly affected. If during this period, the empire is responsible for encircling the two troops of the Soviet army, there is any important report, wouldn't it be a delay? Military aircraft!"

Prince Zairen, who pretended to be going out, stopped and asked, "This is a difficult problem to solve, Mr. Yamada, do you have any good suggestions?"

Major General Yamada said with confidence: "The Far East Campaign Headquarters is close to the front line command, who is very necessary, but there is no need for His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to go in person. After all, there is still overall command and you are needed. If the Commander-in-Chief is not at ease , the staff department can lead a capable staff team to represent you to the General Command of the Kwantung Army, how good is that?"

In Zai Ren's heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, and wished he could hug Yamada's wrinkled old face and kiss him fiercely, "What a considerate old guy, if he survives this time, he must be promoted. It's half white, and he's still a major general, how can this be done, burying talents! It's a joy to have someone replace me, go to a battlefield where there is a narrow escape!" He thought to himself. [

"Since that's the case, I'm going to thank Mr. Yamada. You can issue any order to the Kwantung Army on my behalf, but you must notify the Far East Campaign Headquarters in advance. After approval, you can execute it!" Prince Zairen said solemnly, He gave major power to Major General Yamada, but the final decision-making power is still firmly in his own hands.

The other dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army looked at Major General Matsuda with pitiful eyes, and felt sorry for him, "You say, you are quite old, what can you do? You want to go to Kanto instead of the prince. General Command of the Army, this is a good time, we have put ourselves in, we can do nothing, Yamada-kun, please pray for yourself!"

The reactions of Prince Zairen and more than a dozen senior generals were all in Yamada's eyes. He sneered secretly in his heart, "A group of idiots, those who protect their lives, I am impatient to live? I am going to visit the Kwantung Army Water? Little knowledge!"

Major General Yamada replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the staff department is ready to leave immediately, and all situations will be reported to the campaign headquarters in time!"

A group of senior generals of the Japanese Army came to shake hands, and they were a little bit reluctant to say goodbye. Major General Yamada had enough to get rid of the sad feeling of being separated from yin and yang. The Ministry suddenly thought of a very critical question, previously, Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Command, had already been at the Kwantung Army Command to assist General Nanjiro in commanding on your behalf!"

"Then, is it redundant for me to go here? With Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro and Chief of Staff Tatsuaki Shinno, how do you arrange the command authority? If you have the power to order, one army and three commanders will send out multiple orders, not only hindering each other. , It will also make the generals below do what they want, so as to delay the fighter. Therefore, the Ministry of Staff believes that it is not appropriate for us to "intervene" in the command of the Kwantung Army. Even Chief of Staff Tatsuaki Shinno should not interfere too much !"

At this point, Prince Zairen completely understood that this old guy with walnut patterns on his face had real intentions, and even he couldn't help but secretly praised, "Great!" After giving himself a beautiful step down, Yamada himself You don't have to go to a dangerous place, it's a kill two birds with one stone!

"What a slippery old fellow, fortunately he is not enough to threaten him, otherwise, he should be careful, but he is a talent!" Prince Zairen thought to himself, "Listen to Yamada-kun's words, golden jade good words, It made me realize that the Commander-in-Chief was too sensitive and didn't take the overall situation into consideration. It was Zain's mistake! I hope that in the future, all the gentlemen will be like Yamada-kun and point out the mistakes of the Commander. Thank you so much!" He first made a self-criticism, and expressed his position modestly.

Zai Ren has been in a high position for a long time, and he can still hold it. Oh, the eyes of the dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army are about to drop to the ground, and they look at Yamada with different eyes. , what he said, he is so damn smart, he is worthy of being in the imperial world, the old fritters who have been mixed for decades have become masters!

More than a dozen senior officers of the Japanese Army were still immersed in Yamada's performance just now, "Masters, the war is about to start, and the general headquarters must have an organization that coordinates and handles all aspects of the situation!" Prince Zairen spoke again, this time , Throw a big bomb.

The attention of the dozen or so senior officers of the Japanese Army immediately shifted from Yamada to Prince Zairen's words, "An organization that coordinates and handles all aspects of the situation!" What do you mean, one of us is going to be the leader, In the headquarters of the Far East Campaign, there are a lot of senior staff officers above the rank of major general, and each is in charge of a share. The military rank is high, but they have no real power. "

However, don’t worry about the position of chief of staff. Lieutenant General Shinno Tatsuaki, the head of the operations department of the base camp, has already occupied it. Very, then, what does His Royal Highness mean to set up a new institution?

More than a dozen senior officers of the Japanese Army all had green eyes, their ears were stunned, and they stared intently at Prince Zairen, "Chief of Staff Xinye is at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army to assist in directing the battle against the Soviet Army. Therefore, I decided to set up the General Staff Headquarters of the Far East Campaign Headquarters and be directly responsible to me. I think Yamada-kun is the most suitable candidate for this headquarter!"

"The duty of the General Staff Headquarters is to assist the commander in commanding the Far East Campaign, and to manage all the senior staff members of the headquarters in a unified manner. When the Chief of Staff is not in office, the Headquarters will act as the chief of staff. I will report this appointment to His Majesty the Emperor. Well, all of you should also support Yamada-kun's work a lot, go back to your respective jobs, Minister Yamada, you have to enter your role immediately, and pay attention to the specific situation of the Far East Dispatched Army and the North Korean Resident Army , in a while, I want to listen to the report!"

After Prince Zairen gave his orders, he turned around and entered his office. He didn't mention anything about the Kwantung Army, and Yamada knew why. The senior officers bowed and saw Zairen disappear. These officers who were colleagues just now, Immediately, they surrounded enthusiastically, expressing their congratulations one after another, chattering, saying, "Minister Yamada, I will work under your leadership in the future, please take care of me!" [

"Yamada-kun, if you don't mind, let's meet at my residence tonight. I still have a few bottles of good sake hidden away. How about getting drunk?" "Minister Yamada, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief wants Far East Summarize the situation of the dispatched army and the North Korean resident army, look, can I sort it out like this? If you can, please sign it yourself, you are the head of the department, and of course you personally did the summary of these situations!"

There was a lot of noise, Major General Yamada frowned slightly, and smiled calmly, feeling somewhat excited and apprehensive about the sudden rise in his position, and a little uncomfortable, as well as those few colleagues who thought highly of him in the past. The disgust of the flattering face, and of course, the desire brought by power!

Yamada knew very well in his heart that his beautiful steps had been rewarded with value. His Royal Highness reciprocated, and the head of the General Staff Headquarters seemed to be working under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. Acting as chief of staff, that is to say, from now on, I am the number two person in the headquarters of the nearly 200 million imperial army in the Far East, and I am still a person with real power!

From then on, even if he boarded the chariot of Prince Zai Ren's family, he would be able to get the rank of general when he was about to retire, right?

Yamada smiled calmly, responding gently to his former colleagues, but now the compliments from his subordinates, but the tone of his speech is quite different from the past, vaguely carrying the meaning of the superior, "Masters, now is not the time to celebrate , The Far East War is imminent, and there are many things to do, everyone, go back to work!"
