Age of Rebirth

His Majesty the Emperor has many hands and eyes, and many ears and eyes. He spreads all over the Japanese archipelago and all levels of the Japanese Empire. The base camp focuses on the target. It is not surprising to know what happened in South Australia. Ministers are familiar with this. I am afraid that the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia The telegram from Lieutenant General Guan Sen had just arrived at the base camp, and the entire content of the telegram reached His Majesty the Emperor.

The bigwigs in the headquarters, there is only silence, no one is a fool, in the deep water of the two imperial regimes, they have been playing with the tide for many years, they are all old turtles who climbed the sea, they are masters of late politics, and they have enough experience At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is in the midst of suppressed rage, whoever gets ahead first will be a punching bag if he doesn't keep it all together, let's experience the power of Longyan's rage!

The guy Morishita is also the same, South Australia was defeated, the imperial army suffered heavy losses, and his own base camp will take care of you, so why send a telegram full of resentment, accusing the base camp of inaction, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Let everyone in the base camp be ashamed in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Many big bosses in the base camp secretly gritted their teeth and listed Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Australian Army, as an unusable person. After the current difficulties, the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia Officer, it's time for a replacement. As for that bastard Morishita who doesn't know the depth, just send him to sit on the bench!

Lieutenant General Morishita, who is far away in the northern part of Australia, would never have expected that a telegram of his implicitly shirking responsibility caused public outrage. Moreover, it was the public outrage of the big bosses in the headquarters, and no one could protect him!

Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Independent Division crossed the vast waters of the East Indian Ocean, and unexpectedly fought in Australia.Almost overnight, they attacked cities and conquered territory in southern Australia, and succeeded frequently.A sap hit made Japan dizzy up and down, staring at the stars, and the decision-makers were at a loss and didn't know what to do!

Seeing that the ministers kept silent, Emperor Hirohito was even more angry. However, he still held back and continued: "Faced with such a situation, I don't know what is the best way for you, dear ministers? I know that Australia is the foundation of the empire. The important place is as important as Manchuria in the past. The war to maintain the empire on the North American battlefield must not be lost!"

A few words from Emperor Hirohito set the tone for the ensuing discussion.It is about how to stabilize the situation in Australia.The circle of knocking out the independent division troops went around.

In fact, it is very simple. The reason why the empire suffered a great loss in South Australia is because of the lack of troops. Just imagine, if the empire hoarded millions of troops in southern Australia, that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli dared to cross thousands of kilometers in the East Indian Ocean. With a lone army.Back to its edge?

The answer is obviously no, but precisely because of its simplicity.That's why it's more difficult to make a decision. The crux of the problem is, where does the empire mobilize millions of troops from now?

Mobilizing troops from the occupied area of ​​the Empire's Southwest Pacific Ocean, except Australia, is the only emergency solution at present, but even if all the troops are drawn from all over the country, it will not be able to reach the number of millions, and it will also cause direct confrontation. , the threat of the Independence Division of Upper China on the Indochina Peninsula, no one dared to propose this method to the bigwigs present at the headquarters, so it is better to remain silent.

There is another way to solve the crisis in the Australian continent, that is to draw half of the elite troops of the Imperial North American Combat Command from the North American battlefield, that is, about 65 to 70 people, and put them all into Going to the Australian battlefield can solve the problem in one fell swoop.

But this method is even more frightening. It can no longer be called a method. Instead, the western and central regions of the United States that were acquired by the empire at a great price were handed over to the Germans. You can't touch the bottom line, if you annoy His Majesty, he will kill someone!

The current situation on the Australian battlefield, not only the big bosses in the Japanese base camp, are like a mirror in their hearts, but Emperor Hirohito is also well aware of the situation. He also knows that dozens of ministers who are full of ghost ideas are silent. The reason for the silence, therefore, I have nowhere to vent my anger, and there is no minister to express my opinion, so I have to continue this conversation by myself.

"Okay, dear friends, I know your inner worries. I said that Australia must never fall into the hands of an army that can defeat that devil!" Emperor Hirohito stood up, and slowly let out a breath of depression in his chest. He said wearily: "For the current plan, we can only increase the troops of the imperial army stationed in Australia, but where do the troops come from? I hope you can speak freely!"

Going around, the topic seems to have entered a dead end, that is, where did the soldiers come from? If you don't show up again, you can't justify it, and you can't hide it.

As soon as Mi Neiguang stood up, he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I have an immature suggestion. After putting it forward, I will throw bricks and attract jade for your Majesty and the princes to discuss! In order to come up with a perfect plan!"

"Old slick!" All the bosses present gave Mi Neguang a look of disdain. Since it is an immature suggestion, why do you take it out?Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he detonated the theme of the meeting with a few words, and then he could stay out of the matter and have an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Oh! Aiqing Minai has any suggestions, but it's okay, I'm listening!" Emperor Hirohito cheered up, and urged, he didn't expect Koichi Minai to come up with any clever tricks. If so, his most trusted soldier General Fang will definitely not pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the words "throwing bricks to attract jade" are very timely and can break the silence of the ministers at the moment.

Minei Koichi said slowly: "The suggestion of my minister can be divided into the following steps. The first step is to draw troops from other occupied areas in the southwestern Pacific Ocean of the empire, but it should not be too much, so as not to weaken the defense of other occupied areas of the empire. One-tenth of it is enough to quickly reinforce the troops stationed in Australia, and then build a line of defense in the central region of Australia to stop the northward invasion of the Chinese Independent Division and stabilize the precarious situation in the Australian battlefield!"

"In the second step, once the Chinese Independent Division's offensive momentum to the north is contained, the empire can deal with it calmly. About a quarter of the elite troops will be drawn from the troops of the North American Combat Command, which is about 35 to About 40 people will be devoted to the Australian battlefield, and by then, the total strength of the imperial troops assembled on the Australian battlefield will reach 60, and they are fully capable of counterattacking across the board!"

"In the third step, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops will go on an expedition across the sea, and their logistics supply line will be in the East Indian Ocean. You can order General Yamamoto, the commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command, to transfer the command of the North American battlefield to a person who is sufficient Assuming the command of the general in this position, General Yamamoto will personally command the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy and sail to the East Indian Ocean to carry out the task of attacking the logistics supply line of the troops of the independent Chinese division that invaded Australia!"

"Once the logistics supply line of the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield is cut off, it will inevitably collapse without fighting because of the supply cut-off. If the imperial army launches a full-line counterattack at that time, it will surely be successful in one battle!"

"However, I have a proposal. As far as the ability of the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, Morishita, is not enough to take on the important task of fighting against the independent division in the future, the three main divisions of the Empire in southern Australia, with tens of thousands of elite troops, Just because of one of his orders, he fell into the situation of being surrounded by the troops of the China Independent Division!"

"Therefore, I suggest that the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia be re-appointed so as to preside over the overall situation!"

"Thieves are smart and wise!" This is the pertinent evaluation of Minei Guangyi's long speech by a group of bigwigs. If anyone repeats it, this is an immature suggestion. , neither fast nor slow, with a clear rhythm, he really is a master, the bosses can't help but admire Koichi Minai, who can come up with such a perfect plan in such a short time to rush to the palace.

More importantly, with this suggestion, the command of the empire's North American battlefield can be quietly taken back from the hands of the first department of the navy to the hands of the first department of the army. General" candidate, isn't that ready-made, General Ito Gensaburo, just in the North American battlefield, isn't he good enough to take on such a big task?

If Ito Yansaburo did not have this qualification, I am afraid that no one would be available in the imperial world, Gao!So fucking tall!The bosses of the army department, with bright eyes and joyful eyebrows, simply adore Minai Koichi. No matter how chaotically stepping on the dog's paws and intrigues inside, when it comes to the conflict of interests of the big factions, the people of the army department , can still be consistent with the outside world!

The most unhappy thing in my heart is the head of the Navy Department, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the Minister of the Navy. He knows that this is the old bastard Minai Koichi, who took the opportunity to take back the Imperial North America from the hands of the Navy Department General. The dirty trick of the battlefield command!

But Admiral Nagano has no way to object, because Minai Koichi's words, especially the mobilization of the Navy's combined fleet to the East Indian Ocean, to target the troops of the China Independent Division on the Australian battlefield, and the attack on the logistics supply line are feasible!

The current North American battlefield is basically in a state of no war. The Imperial Army and the German Army are living in peace, each with their own unique tricks. Without conflict, they are desperately trying to seize the territory in the central region of the United States. The imperial army was surrounded by the Germans, but they were not in danger of being attacked. Obviously, the Germans did not want to provoke a war between the two countries!

More importantly, the war against the United States has now expanded to the inland areas of the United States. The Americans have been beaten back and forth. The United Fleet is doing nothing along the west coast of the United States. Idle state is obviously inappropriate!

Therefore, Minai Koichi's so-called "immature" proposal was to the point, and General Nagano Shuzan had no way to object. He could only stare at Minai bitterly, full of depression.
