Age of Rebirth

Prince Zairen's order aroused great indignation among the generals of the Kwantung Army. For more than a month, the Kwantung Army paid the price of nearly one million casualties and fought bloody battles with more than [-] million troops from the three front armies of the Soviet Army. One day is not spent in the battle of artillery fire, but at critical times, not only the captain of the Major General's Brigade, but also the commander of the major general's brigade personally went into battle to fight the bayonet.

Fighting this fierce spirit, they were not eaten by more than 400 million Soviet troops. The Kwantung Army has shed enough blood for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. It is understandable that the generals of the Kwantung Army obeyed the imperial Far East campaign plan, although they felt uncomfortable, they also faithfully carried out the orders of the General Staff of the base camp. They should have retreated to Manchuria to recover their strength, but they had to continue to fight the Soviet army.

However, what is the meaning of Prince Zairen's order?Is it to put the Kwantung Army into a desperate situation?With all the troops and the attack on all fronts, even a major commander of the Imperial Army knows what the final result will be. Could it be that Prince Zairen, who is the chief of the general staff of the base camp, doesn't know?

The major general of the Kwantung Army was choked with sobs and could not say the following, but his attitude was obviously the common aspiration of the dozen or so senior officers of the Kwantung Army present. The senior officers of the Kwantung Army took a step forward together, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief! You must keep the last trace of blood of the Kwantung Army!" Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, seemed to be the incarnation of the sinister and vicious Prince Zairen!

Those eyes that could kill people made Lieutenant General Xinye Ryuzhao go to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army with chills blowing down his spine.It has been more than ten days. Originally, I thought that I had Tianxian in my mouth, that I was an imperial envoy, and that I was the chief of staff of the headquarters, and that I was in the Kwantung Army.It represents the attitude of the commander-in-chief, Prince Zairen himself. From General Nanjiro down, all the generals of the Kwantung Army, who are not respectful to themselves, are worshiping like a Buddha?

Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno even had a plan buried deep in his heart.Gradually deprive General Nanjiro of his command, and eventually push him out of the Kwantung Army. In this way, the most important overseas force of the Empire of Japan will fall under his own control, and he will be regarded as a nobleman for himself.Prince Zairen gave a big gift to repay His Royal Highness for his kindness, but he knew that His Royal Highness was always brooding over the fact that the Kwantung Army was not under his control!

Then you know, after arriving at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, it's not like that at all.I have a few prominent titles, but I don’t know how deep the Kwantung Army’s water is without wading in the river. Respect is absolutely in place, but the specific combat command of the Kwantung Army troops, I can’t stand at all. Not getting started, and all the generals of the Kwantung Army kept a polite distance from themselves.

Even Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno.From this kind of indifferent politeness, I can feel the deep hostility hidden. I have also tried to divide and win some important generals within the Kwantung Army, but after trying a few times.One exception got a bad nose, and it also provoked General Nanjiro's implicit warning. Lieutenant General Niano Tatsuaki realized that for so many years, General Nanjiro had poured water like an iron bucket operated by the Kwantung Army. Enter!

In the Kwantung Army, not to mention the division heads and brigade heads, even the small commanders of the generals, and even the captains, are not ashamed of themselves, the lieutenant general and chief of staff of the headquarters. After more than ten days in the Kwantung Army During this time, the work of Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno can be summed up in a few words, "No progress, nothing to do!" He is completely a marginal man! [

Now, because of an order from His Royal Highness, he has thrown himself on the cusp of hatred and anger. These Kwantung Army leaders who rolled over from the pile of dead people and crawled out of the sea of ​​blood, wouldn't they use themselves to vent their anger?

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Xinye Longzhao felt chills and became uneasy. If he was really killed by that reckless guy with a single shot, he would die of injustice. In my conscience, I have enough feelings for His Royal Highness. The order of hatred, I knew it in advance!

But the generals of the Kwantung Army, don't care about this, they only know that Lieutenant General Xinye is the bastard's confidant of Zai Ren. Since he came to the headquarters, he is not pleasing to the eye. He is clearly sent by Prince Zai Ren to the Kwantung Army Eyes and ears, monitoring the arrival of the Kwantung Army, which bled and sweated for the Empire of Japan, has no good intentions at all. They are five people and six children all day long, with a posture of fighting against others!

The Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, Lieutenant General, has such a great name, I am!It's okay to scare mice, how old is it?In the eyes of those of us who have been fighting with the Soviet army for more than a month, it is nothing. My God, the Kwantung Army is immortal, several generals at the level of lieutenant general and regiment commander have died for their country, and a lot of major generals have also died!

The death of another lieutenant general is not an accident. Even if there is no accident, there will be an accident. The large-caliber howitzers of the Soviet army are as dense as raindrops. Those who don't have eyes can't tell which one is an ordinary soldier. Each is the chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the general headquarters. After being shot, the body is still torn apart.

At that time, those people in the base camp will not even be able to see the whole body of this guy. As for the few entourages of this guy, they just need to accompany them on the road. Should we kill the grass and roots? Thinking about it this way, these senior officers of the Kwantung Army, The murderous aura in his heart was exposed, his eyes were red and cold, and he held the handle of the command saber tightly, and he approached Lieutenant General Xinye Longzhao step by step. For a while, the atmosphere in the headquarters was tense. When it reaches the extreme, the murderous aura permeates!

Forced over by a group of generals with fierce eyes, murderous looks all over their bodies, hands with exposed veins, tightly gripping the handle of their sabers, Lieutenant General Xinye Ryuzhao felt that the god of death was so close to him. From the eyes of these officers, he It can be seen that the officers of the Kwantung Army, who have been stimulated by the heavy loss and almost lost their minds, and are angered by Prince Zai Ren's order, really want to kill themselves!

The complexion of Lieutenant General Xinye Longzhao turned pale in an instant. He suddenly realized that he was isolated and supported by the Kwantung Army. The illusion of devotion to the Japanese Empire, and even after killing himself, he would apply for a medal for himself from the base camp. On the side, General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army with a blank face and half-closed eyes.

After Prince Zairen's order was conveyed, General Minamijiro saw everything that happened in the headquarters, especially Lieutenant General Shinno Tatsuaki's cowardly appearance, and made him look down on this former high-ranking officer. Lieutenant General and Director of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp, to be honest, General Nanjiro is very unimpressed with this Chief of Staff.

In Nanjiro's heart, this lieutenant general and director who has been sitting in the spacious and bright office of the General Staff of the Tokyo Base Camp is a guy who can only talk on paper. Relying on my own imagination to formulate the strategic plan of the Empire of Japan, in all fairness, the strategic plan formulated by the Operation Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters is, in my opinion, bullshit!

For this guy who climbed to the position of the chief of staff of the Imperial Far East Campaign Commander-in-Chief due to a coincidence, General Minamijiro didn't even show any hypocrisy or deceit. Be warned.

General Nanjiro can ignore Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, the chief of staff of the headquarters, but he dare not ignore Prince Zain behind him. That is the same level of weight as his old boss, the backstage boss of the Kwantung Army, General Minai Ko Nanjiro thinks that he does not have the ability and ability to wrestle with Prince Zaijin, otherwise, he would have sent this high-spirited Chief of Staff to go back to the General Command of the Khabarovsk Campaign. Stop messing with me here!

If it’s not easy to drive him away, then hang it up and let him feel that he’s bored, can’t stay any longer, and take the initiative to leave. The Kwantung Army is not a place for a guy like you to point fingers. Therefore, General Nanjiro has never sent Shinno Tatsuaki Put it in your eyes, but the look in his eyes asking for help just now made General Nanjiro understand one thing at least, Prince Zairen's extremely cold order is related to His Excellency the Chief of Staff, and he didn't know it beforehand. !

In fact, General Nanjiro had some violent thought fluctuations in his heart just now. At first, when he heard this order, General Nanjiro was almost stunned in shock. His first reaction was, Prince Zain He planned to use a knife to kill people and eradicate the Kwantung Army, the direct line of His Excellency Koichi Yonei, in order to achieve the goal of weakening the political opponents. General Nanjiro's inner anger was immediately ignited.

Almost without hesitation, he decided that this was a conspiracy. Then, General Nanjiro thought almost impulsively, and immediately sent a telegram to His Excellency Minai Koichi, stating the facts. The Kwantung Army cannot be betrayed and sacrificed in such a despicable way, and he is about to put it into action. , but deep in my heart, a voice kept reminding myself, "Be calm, with Prince Zairen's cunning and treachery, he would not do such a blatant thing. During the attack, Prince Zaijin, who gave the order, can hardly be blamed, he has to face the common pressure from His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency Minai Koichi, and all sectors of the country.”[

Thinking of this, Nanjiro forced himself to calm down, and began to think about why Prince Zairen issued this order, which could put the Kwantung Army to death. Once he calmed down, Nanjiro's military talent would be fully revealed.
