Age of Rebirth

General Umezu Yoshijiro, whose heart was full of hope, pinned all his hopes on his earth-shattering memorial, but he never considered that if the memorial was passed at the Imperial Military Council, Nanjiro would still Can you come to Manchuria and take over your position?

What can I say?General Nanjiro also noticed that Umezu Yoshijiro's current state and mood were absolutely abnormal. He was silent for a while, looking at General Umezu who had rekindled the fire of hope in his eyes, he sighed inwardly, drank a glass of wine slowly, and said in a faint tone. Said: "It has been submitted. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor also held a special military meeting in front of the imperial court. The people who participated in the meeting, including all the decision-making levels of the imperial government and government, discussed your memorial!"

He has been in the Imperial Japanese Empire for many years, and he is well aware of its inside story. He is a turbulent general Nanjiro who is proficient in factional struggles. The telegrams from Chief of Staff Matsuda Kenjiro were only two or three days apart, but he absolutely did not mean to expose them. Otherwise, you only need to ask Meizu when he sent the memorial back to the mainland, and everything will be clear!

I personally participated in the military meeting in front of the imperial court that night, and I was even more aware of the attitude of many military officials, including His Majesty the Emperor, towards the memorial. Well, that is a bomb that will not only blow up the person who wrote the memorial, but even the person who submitted the memorial will be affected.

Therefore, Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial is irrelevant, although his memorial is indeed foreseeable.However, for a dead man already in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, even if he did not die on the battlefield, his future is doomed to be bleak and he has no foundation in the imperial world.It is Umezu Yoshijiro who has no family, no faction, and a widow, to offend No. 1 in the imperial world, His Majesty's favorite minister, Koichi Minuchi who is in the limelight, it is not good for him, and he has to bear the anger of Koichi Minui's faction!

moment.General Nanjiro weighed the pros and cons, and made a decision, not to pierce this layer of paper, and he will never do things that harm others and benefit himself!

"What is the holy will of His Majesty the Emperor?" General Meijin leaned forward involuntarily, his eyes full of hope and eagerness.The hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly. The attitude of other people is irrelevant. Only the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor can determine your own destiny!

Since he decided not to reach out, he pulled the useless Umezu Yoshijiro.Nanjiro didn't want to circle around, and directly smashed his illusions, "His Majesty the Emperor was furious at the time, calling your memorial a loss of power and humiliation of the country, rebellious lies, and ulterior motives. He also said that this person can be punished and should be killed! The ministers suggest that you be escorted back to Tokyo from Manchuria immediately, to accept the trial of the military court, and to punish the crime severely!" The tone was cold.There was no temperature at all, it was like a bone-chilling wind, mixed with ice cubes, hitting Umezu Yoshijiro's heart head-on.

"What? How did this happen? Nanji-kun, are you right?" General Meijin held the wine glass. "Bang Dang" fell to the ground, his expression was in a trance, and he subconsciously asked in a sleepy manner that he didn't believe in such a result. He wrote the memorial with painstaking efforts, a good strategy to solve the crisis in Manchuria, and risked his reputation to submit it, but he ended up like this Comments, "His heart can be punished, and his person should be killed!" Words to punish the heart!

Nanjiro's eyes were cold and emotionless, and he said bluntly: "Umetsu-kun, I have come to Manchuria, isn't that enough to explain everything? Is it necessary to deceive you!" Being suspected is a very aggrieved thing, As if who is willing to step into this muddy pit?

Meijin froze there, Nanjiro's words seemed to come from outside, drifting in his ears, he looked around in a trance, but found a blur, Nanjiro's face twisted and swayed before his eyes, sometimes honest and long His appearance is sometimes vicious like a ghost!

Seeing Umezu Yoshijiro's dejected appearance, his whole body lost all vigor, like grass exposed to the sun, Nanjiro couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart. I have no friendship with him, let alone congenial interests. On the contrary, Umezu Yoshijiro is still a guy that I hate. When he handed over the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, this person's domineering posture is now clearly remembered. In my mind, but the current appearance is really pitiful.

Forget it, let’s be a good man again. General Nanjiro took out a new wine glass, filled it with sake, and said slowly: "Meijin-kun, you don’t have to be so depressed. These words are just the words of His Majesty the Emperor at the imperial meeting. , Did you say it out of anger, His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters have no official punishment order, and I will not treat you as a guilty minister! Otherwise, the military police should escort you back to China now!"

"If not, you should personally send a telegram to His Excellency Yone Koichi, Minister of War and Acting Chief of the General Staff of the base camp, explaining your difficulties in detail, and ask His Excellency Yonei to deal with the Emperor before His Majesty. Maybe this is a way ?”

Minami Jiro is old and cunning, of course he can't speak up and speak straight, and the person who untied the bell needs to be untied. Umezu Yoshijiro has reached the point where Minai can't get rid of it. If Minai Koichi stretches out his hand, Umezu Yoshijiro will definitely be grateful Although I don't care about it, I haven't offended anyone after all, and I won't face embarrassment when I meet in the future!

If Mitsuko Miuchi fell into trouble, Umezu Yoshijiro would never be able to turn himself around again, and he had a clear conscience about what he had to do with him. Naturally, he would not intercede for Umezu Yoshijiro, and it was too late to hide from such a thing!

Umezu Yoshijiro had already recovered from the trance state just now, but his face was frighteningly sallow and his eyes were empty and lifeless. Hearing Admiral Nanjiro's suggestion, he slowly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Nanji-kun, for your suggestion, but There is no need, the situation in Manchuria has reached the point it is today, and I cannot shirk the blame, even if His Majesty the Emperor does not blame me, I will feel ashamed!"

"I just don't know, this time Mr. Nanci reassumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, what good strategy does he have for solving the current crisis in Manchuria?"

Mentioning the situation in Manchuria, Nanjiro panicked in his heart for a while. He raised his neck, poured a full glass of wine into his belly, and sighed, "His Majesty the Emperor gave me the power to deal with the situation in Manchuria. As for the good strategy, Not to mention, negotiating with Tang Qiuli, giving up all of Manchuria, the Kwantung Army withdrawing from Manchuria, the Empire giving up its sovereignty in Manchuria, that's all!"

"What?" Umezu Yoshijiro shook his body violently as if he had been stung by a wasp, his eyes glowed with iron-gray darkness, and he roared hoarsely: "No, Nanji-kun, absolutely not with that Shina The devil Tang Qiuli is negotiating, if this is the case, the morale of the army and the people will be lost! You will become the eternal sinner of the Great Japanese Empire!"

"We are in Manchuria, and there are more than 100 million Kwantung Army troops. We are fully capable of making a strategic retreat after World War I. How can we retreat without a fight? Such negotiations are no different from failure. To cede the city and give up the land, yes The alliance under the city is a disgrace to the Great Japanese Empire, and it will be difficult to return to Manchuria in the future!"

Umezu Yoshijiro's words were sharp enough, especially accusing General Nanjiro of negotiating with Tang Qiuli as a sinner of the Great Japanese Empire through the ages, which was even more hurtful. It almost made Nanjiro vomit blood in anger!

If it weren't for you, a conceited bastard, what kind of attack, rescue, etc., all the fuss, and the military potential of the empire in Manchuria was wiped out, what is there to talk about with these Chinese people, if the old man has millions Xiongbing, have the capital and confidence to continue fighting, do you still need to negotiate?

General Nanjiro's complexion suddenly turned livid, and he felt that talking to this guy who was obviously insane was a waste of time, but after all, he was deep enough in the city, so he didn't get angry on the spot, but stood up and said coldly: "Meijin-san, It's late at night, I'm very tired, and I have a lot of important things to deal with tomorrow, so I'm sorry! Please take it easy, Meijin-kun!"

"Oh, by the way, if you want to go back to Tokyo, I'll arrange guards to escort you away! If you don't want to go back to Tokyo for the time being, you can rest at the headquarters for a while. Don't worry, Meizu-kun, no one will interfere with your freedom of movement!"

Saying that, Nanjiro got up and left, without even looking at Umezu Yoshijiro out of the corner of his eye, he had completely lost interest in Umezu General!

Seeing that General Nanjiro was about to leave, Umezu Yoshijiro stood up with a "huh!" and shouted loudly: "Please stay a little longer, Nanji-kun, I have something to ask!"

General Nanjiro stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "Okay, Umezu-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I will tell your family the truth!" He thought that Umezu Yoshijiro wanted to ask for a personal matter, and he couldn't do it. If you don’t help, after all, you are still a good person, right?

Unexpectedly, General Umezu Yoshijiro's face showed an insult-like anger, "Nanji-kun, you have underestimated me Umezu Yoshijiro too much. Since I came to Manchuria, I have embraced the emperor and Japan. The preparations for the imperial sacrifice, the Japanese imperialists, sacrifice their lives to serve the country, what is the private matter?"

"This is the battle plan I drew up after more than ten days of deliberation, and after observing and analyzing the deployment of the ** Division troops. It is very simple. The more than 40 Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area broke through horizontally and broke the ** Division troops. We will join forces with the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning to end the situation of being divided and encircled, and then board the ship from Huludao Port, and the Kwantung Army will all withdraw to the Korean peninsula!"

"Mr. Nanji, this is the detailed battle plan. I beg you to read it. This is the only plan that can avoid the disgraceful withdrawal of the Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire from Manchuria. Please!"

Umezu Yoshijiro bowed deeply, his voice choked up, but Nanjiro didn't even have the interest in looking at the few pieces of paper in his hand, turned around and left, and left a sentence, "Umezu-kun, you should think about your own Question!"
