Age of Rebirth

The former commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army who participated in the emperor's imperial meeting, and the current military vice-officer of the base camp, General Minamijiro, couldn't help but feel terrified and drenched in cold sweat, because the real purpose of this imperial meeting had a direct relationship with himself.

The situation in Manchuria was corrupted beyond control. At a critical moment, General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, disappeared mysteriously and his whereabouts were unknown. As a result, the Kwantung Army is now leaderless, and His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will never allow the situation in Manchuria to continue to deteriorate. Go on and let it go, so there must be a heavyweight army general who rushes to Manchuria to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in order to stabilize the situation.

All civil and military officials who participated in the meeting, one counts as one, and there is no one more suitable than himself. His Majesty the Emperor knew it well, so he specially called him to participate in the imperial meeting. That smiling Mi Neiguang knew better in his heart, so he had After thinking about the conversation before the meeting, how could General Nanjiro not be frightened?

The Manchuria of today is not the Manchuria of a few months ago, let alone the Manchuria of a few years ago. It is a big quagmire, a wreck that leaks everywhere and is sinking. The decline is irreversible and the fall is inevitable. If you go in, you will sink. If you can't do it yourself, neither can any high-ranking general in the imperial world, even if Amaterasu comes here in person!

Unless, unless the empire dispatches at least 100 million elite divisions to Manchuria to relieve the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning and West Manchuria, and break through the encirclement, it can be done, and it will be enough to stabilize the situation in Manchuria.But if we drive all the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli out of Manchuria, it will be even more difficult than reaching the sky!

But the reality is.The Empire of Japan could no longer recruit 100 million well-trained soldiers and went to Manchuria. As the military vice-officer of the base camp, what he did was to form a new division in the mainland. The two major battlefields in the north have already reduced the war potential of the empire.The excavation has almost reached the limit, especially the source of troops.

The empire's conscription law has been relaxed to the limit.The right age to join the army is from 45 to [-] years old. Almost all men in the empire are conscripted into the army.Three months of recruit training.It had to go to the battlefield. The Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific did not consume a lot of troops, mainly in the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, and the Far East, where they fought against the Independent Division.

The three battlefields in the north are like a bottomless pit, filled with many imperial soldiers.Also to no avail, from the Southwest Pacific Islands.Of the six divisions transferred back to the mainland, four of them formed the Third Army and went to Manchuria. As a result, the entire army was wiped out in the Liaodong Peninsula. The other two divisions, together with the two newly formed local divisions, were invested in the The Korean Peninsula battlefield has not changed the situation of the battlefield, and is being consumed every day!

Of course, General Nanjiro was well aware of the reason why the Third Army was destroyed on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. Before he left his post as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he still had the "Liaodong Peninsula Counterattack Plan," Umezu Yoshijiro looked at My heart was moved, and I saw that it was an excellent opportunity to reverse the situation in Manchuria, so I couldn't wait to start it, and only then did the third army lose all its members!

In other words, the defeat of the third army on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, and more than [-] elite imperial soldiers were buried on the battlefield. As a result, he himself was the instigator, but General Nanjiro did not feel guilty at all. The plan is seamless, and the key lies in the person who executes the plan , if the counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula is fought by yourself, even if you can't win, you won't take the third army into it!

The General Staff Headquarters of the base camp sends telegrams to the military department every day, all of which are for soldiers. General Tanaka Shin, the commander of the North Korean garrison, sends an urgent telegram every day to ask for reinforcements. Prince Zain, who is on the battlefield in the Far East, is also anxiously waiting for reinforcements. , the Manchurian battlefield needs astronomical reinforcements, but where will the reinforcements come from?

It's not a production line, guns and ammunition can be made by running the machine. The reserve soldiers in the hands of General Nanjiro are no more than ten divisions, nearly 30 people, and all of them are recruits who have been trained for less than two months. A little force, even if it is all devoted to the Manchurian battlefield, what effect can more than 100 million well-trained, well-equipped, fierce and combat-friendly soldiers face Tang Qiuli, who can be called the nemesis of the Japanese Empire?

Manchuria is now a mess, a mess that cannot be cleaned up, and it is still a big fire pit. Anyone who steps into it will be burned to the bone and dregs. How to cleverly evade after being hit by his own head is a job that requires political wisdom. In an instant, General Nanjiro's entire energy was mobilized, and it can be said that he racked his brains and worked hard!

General Nanjiro, who had his own plan, didn't notice at all that the deceitful and oppressive atmosphere at the venue, the memorial of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army Umezu Yoshijiro, and the telegram of the chief of the general staff Matsuda Kenjiro, were heard by almost every military and political official who attended the meeting. Turning around in the hand, everyone's expressions and thoughts are different, some are so surprised that they almost fainted, and some are stunned with their mouths wide open.

Some are unbelievable and angry, some are full of fierce eyes, gnashing their teeth as if they are going to kill, dull, hesitant, frightened, bewildered, murderous, angry and other emotions are intertwined, filling every inch of space like substance. In the emperor's palace, it is like a hellish mansion, full of ghosts and evil spirits, and the officials are like bull heads and horse faces, with different expressions!

The telegrams and memorials were in the hands of civil and military officials. After a round, more than ten minutes had passed, and there was still silence in the palace. The demigod, what was he thinking in his heart, and the No. 1 Mitsuko Miuchi in the Japanese military circle also frowned, tapping his fingers on the table anxiously.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back anymore. A short and fat lieutenant general in his 40s jumped up, his face flushed purple, and walked a few steps from the back row to Emperor Hirohito's dragon chair, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Say it!"

Emperor Hirohito withdrew his confused eyes, looked at the lieutenant general who was like a rooster, and said dumbly: "It's Aiqing Sada, as long as it is within the scope of the meeting, you can say anything." It’s okay to be blunt, I’ve taken care of everything!”

Lieutenant General Sada, who was the first to jump up, is no stranger to the senior staff. He is currently the acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau of the base camp. He is a typical young officer. Department, although the root is very hard, usually get along with colleagues, not very arrogant, but also relatively low-key, just love to admit death, everything is true, in the eyes of the military leaders, it is an insignificant small role, and Not very welcome.

Otherwise, he would not be able to act as the chief for a few years, and he would not be able to rectify the situation. Of course, this is directly related to the fact that Prince Zairen is out leading the army, not in the confidential center, and the big man who controls the imperial world with one hand - Mi Nei Guangyi has been suppressing it all the time!

Lieutenant General Sada, the acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau of the base camp, was the first to jump up, which surprised those big bosses who had their own secrets. They didn't know who this stubborn guy was going to shoot at when he jumped out. ?

Among them, none is more nervous than General Mitsuko Minai, because this Lieutenant General Sada is a member of Prince Zairen's family, and he is also a very annoying person. He is not easy to use and looks at him, and he has to beat him several times. He sent out the base camp and was relegated to a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean to serve as the commander of the garrison, but he has not yet found a suitable excuse.

"Now, this guy jumps out, is he going to attack me? After all, the memorial of that guy Meijin has passed through my hands, and I can't get away from it. The mess of the Manchurian war is also my responsibility. With great power, comes great responsibility! "Mi Neiguang thought to himself, and then, his nerves tensed immediately, he mobilized all his energy, stared at Lieutenant General Sada intently, and prepared to fight bravely.

Having received His Majesty's imperial approval and affirmation, Sada was in a turbulent mood, and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to this point, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, cannot absolve himself of the blame! I have read this man." After the memorial, I couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation and anger, and even made false suggestions to give up the overseas territories that the empire has gone through after several generations of hard work, and the ancestors made great sacrifices to get it!"

"If Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial becomes a reality, it will wipe out His Majesty's good intentions and grand plans for the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. For this alone, Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial, It is not something that can be easily covered up by lying and treason. It is treason! It is treason! This person should be killed, and his heart can be punished! The minister suggested that he should be deprived of all military positions, and immediately be escorted back to Tokyo and handed over to a military court for justice. Convicted of treason!"

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to contain and deter those who are cowardly and cowardly, shrinking in the face of battle, which is against the national policy of the empire and detrimental to the behavior of the Yamato ethnic warriors. Another general who is familiar with Manchuria affairs will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army ! The minister's words are finished, please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

Lieutenant General Sada gave an impassioned speech. When he talked about the excitement, tears filled his eyes, and he could hardly control himself. However, not only Emperor Hirohito was not interested in what he said, but even the civil and military officials below were secretly Shaking his head, he was very disapproving.

It’s not that they disapprove. The senior officials who have seen Umezu Yoshijiro’s memorial instinctively hold an attitude of disgust and rejection towards his suggestion, and spit out the meat that has already been swallowed in their stomachs. Who can accept it? Back home, how can I play in the future?Therefore, no one will raise objections to killing Umezu Yoshijiro, let alone fight for this unpopular guy!
