Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Kikuchi became cruel today. He wanted to slap Lieutenant General Haruhiko in the face in front of hundreds of senior officers. Moreover, there was some movement. Within the Far East Dispatch Army, the First Army is the absolute number one trump card The army, the limelight was snatched by a third-rate army, where should I put my face?

But this is not the root cause of Lieutenant General Kikuchi and Lieutenant General Xiang Haruhiko's attack. The problem of face is just a superficial phenomenon. The dispute, as well as the future career in the Imperial Army.

Lieutenant General Kikuchi's friend in the base camp revealed to him an extremely confidential news through secret means. There was a motion in the base camp. The commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force, General Norigoro Ono, may be transferred to another post after the Far East Campaign is over. Moreover, My friend also said that the military headquarters of the base camp intends to select a candidate for the successor of the commander among the commanders who have performed well. In this way, the throne of the commander will be vacant, and then I am the best candidate for the throne of the commander.

Within the Far East Dispatch Army, Kikuchi himself felt that he had no competitors. The commanders of the other armies were either inexperienced, lacked prestige, or lacked practical experience in commanding large corps. The first-level commanders of the competitive army went through them one by one. As for Lieutenant General Haruyan, he never came into his sight. With the bearish appearance of the third army, how could the commander be any better?

Therefore, Lieutenant General Kikuchi believes that he can become the commander of the Far East Expedition Army with a certain probability. At worst, he can also be the chief of staff of the Dispatched Army Command. Lieutenant General Kikuchi is full of confidence and is ready to attack the No.15 Army of the Soviet Army. In the battle, come to shine.When he was making enough money, Lieutenant General Haruhiko jumped out of nowhere, and, in a way that embarrassed him, he won an unprecedented victory in attacking the No. 15 Soviet Army.

If it wasn't for Haruhiko not following the original plan, acting privately, and stealing the honor and credit that should have belonged to him and the First Army, the aura of a good start in the first battle would have been worn on his head.Especially when he heard that Commander Zairen was praised by the Third Army and Haruhiko, Lieutenant General Kikuchi was even more furious. Originally, the lottery belonged to him, but he was snatched away by that bastard Haruhiko.

If you get the praise of Commander Jae-in, it is yourself.Then, on the issue of the candidate for the commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force.To add a lot of points.In the base camp and even His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Zairen has a lot of power to speak, or even to make decisions. To be able to walk into the sight of such a military leader, it is not far away from the days when he will flourish in the imperial military circle. carry on!

you say.Didn't Chun Yan spoil his own good deeds? Jealousy, hatred, face problems, and the inexplicable lieutenant general of the North Korean garrison aroused the fire in his heart.Lieutenant General Kikuchi also went all out. Anyway, he tore up his face and didn't smear you Haruhiko in public. Today's matter is not over!

Lieutenant General Kikuchi was still unsatisfied, and continued with even harsher and more vicious words: "Lieutenant General Haruhiko, as an imperial soldier, should have the most basic morals. Don't take a victory that was achieved by sacrificing the interests of friendly forces and relying on luck." As the cost of showing off, war is a test of strength and the commander's battlefield experience, and being lucky for a while does not mean that you will be lucky forever!" [

"Furthermore, the No. 15 Army of the Soviet Army still exists, and the weeds have not been eradicated. They are gaining the upper hand and adopting a sudden ambush. The results are far from satisfactory. The combat effectiveness of the Third Army is evident. You, Lieutenant General Haruhiko The commanding ability, but mediocre, yes, I heard that Lieutenant General Haruyan, before you became the commander of the third army, you had never even smelled the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield, so it is expected that you will behave like this!"

A group of high-ranking Japanese military officers watching the excitement couldn't help but click their tongues, "Hey! I've heard of poison tongue, but I didn't expect this rough-looking lieutenant general named Mio Kikuchi to use his poison tongue function to such a level. It's really an eye-opener. ah!"

The generals of the Kwantung Army and the North Korean Garrison have nothing to do with themselves. They are dog-eat-dog within the Far East Dispatch Army. Is it embarrassing? In the dispatched army, it's no big deal to quarrel. It's a family scandal to tear your face behind closed doors, but you can't let others see your family scandal as a joke in the presence of other army generals?

Two lieutenant generals with high ranks and young ages, and they are still animals grazing in a trough. How could they look like cross-eyed chickens in front of the officers of other troops? up?

An older lieutenant general commander of the Far East Dispatch Army came over after parting from the crowd, ready to suppress these two disgraceful guys. His thin face turned blue and purple, "Crack!" He slammed the table, stood up abruptly, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Kikuchi, don't bully people too much. I, Haruhiko, are not the only ones who have achieved such a victory in the Third Army." The merit is the result of His Majesty's protection and the hard work of the soldiers. You can question my command ability, but you can't slander all the soldiers of the Third Army who fought bloody battles and shed blood for the Great Japanese Empire!"

Lieutenant General Haruhiko also went all out. Since Kikuchi, that bastard, deliberately slapped himself in public, don’t blame me for not saving face for you. Within the scope of the military, you issued an order to commend this matter, and you Kikuchi dare to question His Excellency Ono's decision? Dare to turn black and white, and call the victory achieved by the third army at a price a fluke?"

Of course, there is a more convincing fact, that is, Prince Zairen's personal praise for the Third Army. However, this is only rumored, it belongs to internal information, and has not been published in official documents. In case Kikuchi catches the flaw, On the contrary, it is not beautiful, so Lieutenant General Haruyan will be careful.

Just as Lieutenant General Kikuchi was about to refute, Lieutenant General Haruhiko didn't give him a chance, and said first, "It's a fluke? Hmph, that is, if you, Kikuchi, dared to think that way, the situation on the battlefield at that time had reached the moment when the Third Army had to take action. Could it be that the Soviet Army You have already reached the front of the position, are you still waiting for Lieutenant General Judi's first army to arrive? In more than five hours, more than [-] soldiers of the third army are waiting for you?"

"And your Kikuchi's troops are still hundreds of miles away, but you sent a telegram ordering the third army not to move rashly. Let me ask, who is deliberately obstructing the actions of the third army that can change the situation on the battlefield? Selfishness, your troops are hundreds of miles away, but you don't allow the third army, which is close at hand, to take the initiative to attack in the face of a favorable battlefield situation?"

"Lieutenant General Kikuchi, if I remember correctly, the first army and the third army departed less than two hours apart. The third army has already arrived at the scheduled deployment location, but why is your first army lagging behind by five? For more than an hour, who is delaying the opportunity? Could it be that the first army, which claims to be the ace unit of the Far East Expeditionary Army, has soldiers whose quality is not as high as 80.00%, and the third army is all recruits?"

"Even the marching speed is behind the third-rate troops you mentioned. The combat effectiveness of the first army is mediocre. Lieutenant General Kikuchi's command ability is even less flattering. How dare you boast about the quality of such troops? Annihilating the No.15 Army of the Soviet Army is ridiculously arrogant, Lieutenant General Kikuchi, speak after you understand the facts, lest you humiliate yourself, make yourself laugh, and become the laughing stock of the imperial military!"

Ho!The senior generals of the Japanese army who participated in the meeting were eye-opening, and they were also poisonous tongues. The Far East Dispatched Army is really full of talents. Two strange flowers appeared at the same time, and they both took the position of commander of the lieutenant general. But, look It was the lieutenant general named Kikuchi who seemed to be wronged, and was refuted dumbly. You can see his face, he was so angry that he looked like a scapegoat. Hundreds of senior Japanese officers were chattering, biting their ears and watching the excitement!

Attention was drawn to the verbal battle between the two lieutenant generals, and no one noticed that Prince Zairen and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, General Ono Norigoro, and the commander of the North Korean Garrison General Shinno Tanaka, Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, chief of staff of the Far East Campaign General Headquarters, and Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters, have arrived at the door of the meeting.

It's time for the meeting. The few people who had a good chat surrounded Prince Zairen with smiles on their faces and walked towards the meeting room. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the sound of arguing inside. Prince Zairen's face paled. Shen, stopped the guards at the door from saluting, and walked to the door quietly, wanting to see what happened, "It's getting more and more unruly!" He thought angrily.

The commanders of the other three campaign groups are also curious. Who has the guts to scold the street like a shrew in the military meeting chaired by His Royal Highness? Are they brave enough to die? [

The three generals squeezed behind Prince Zaijin, and looked in. General Nanjiro and General Tanaka Shin didn't respond. The two blushing and thick-necked lieutenants surrounded by a circle of senior officers were not his subordinates. I don't know each other, but General Norigoro Ono, the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, changed his face drastically. In the meeting room, the two lieutenant generals who looked like fighting cocks with red eyes were his subordinates.

General Ono's head swelled three times with a "buzz!", and he was dumbfounded at the time, crying inwardly, "Two shameless guys, quarreling regardless of the occasion, are still in the conference room of the Far East Campaign Headquarters , His Royal Highness is watching from the side! There are so many generals from other troops! If these two guys say any inappropriate words, His Royal Highness will be jealous, and I will be the one who feels uncomfortable!"

For a moment, General Ono wished he could run over immediately, and give two shameless guys a big mouth each, it's best to shut up as soon as possible!
