Age of Rebirth

Minai Koichi's speech made the generals of the army department feel generous in their eyes and feel very comfortable in their hearts. The candidate for the commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command fell into the hands of the navy department. For the army generals, It's not just as simple as being aggrieved, it's like a stick in the throat, choking uncomfortably.

The war against the United States was fought by the army, but the commander was a member of the navy. Wouldn’t it mean that the army sent out men, guns, and force, and the navy received the final credit? There is no worse loss in the world than this Something to do with wimps?

Now, with an "immature" suggestion, Minai easily regained the command of the Empire's North American Operations Command. If His Majesty was not at home, the generals of the army would celebrate and cheer loudly. Fan.

Emperor Hirohito knew very well about Minai Koichi's suggestion, but he also admired him very much. No matter what his final purpose was, he could make this statement under such a difficult situation. At least, this is the most feasible method at the moment. Objection, what's more, the huge military power of the Navy's combined fleet is absolutely wasteful if it is idle on the west coast of the United States.

"Everyone, Aiqing Minai's statement has already been used to attract attention. I don't know if you have any additional suggestions?" Emperor Hirohito asked calmly, but the meaning in the words was very clear. Additional suggestions, that is to say , can only be perfected on the basis of Minei Guangyichen, not against it.

As soon as Mi Neiguang won the victory, if the big bosses of the army department objected again, it would provoke public anger, "Your Majesty, the ministers have no objection!" The big bosses said in unison.

The Minister of the Navy, Nagano Xiushan, saw that it was irreversible, so he could only echo him.I dare not raise any objection.

"Okay, let's do it in accordance with Ai Minai's instructions!" Emperor Hirohito said with a final word: "It is urgent to deploy troops from the occupied area of ​​the southwest Pacific Ocean of the Empire to reinforce the Australian Army, and it will be planned by the General Staff of the headquarters. , implement as soon as possible, the war situation in Australia is the most critical. No delay!"

"As for the candidate for the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, it will be determined at the discretion of the headquarters. The former commander, Morishita, will be transferred back to China. He will be appointed separately. Regarding the transfer of the combined naval fleet to the East Indian Ocean and cutting off the logistics supply line of the Chinese Independent Division's Australian battlefield troops, it will be decided by the Minister of the Navy Aiqing Nagano will handle the details. This matter is also urgent!"

"Nagano Aiqing can go to the North American battlefield in person. Talk to Yamamoto Aiqing in detail and urge him to hand over military affairs as soon as possible. As for the candidate for the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command, what I mean is that the current North American battlefield supervisor Ai Ito Qing takes over, well, all the ministers will keep their duties and do their best. It is the great fortune of the Japanese Empire! My blessing!"

Emperor Hirohito opened his mouth, these words.It is a decision, and it also means the end of the meeting. All the big bosses mainly follow it. Therefore, the supreme commander of Japan’s war against the United States has changed. It was in the hands of the army.

Undoubtedly, the Sulu Mobile Corps of the independent division commanded by Tang Qiusheng and some troops directly under the regiment suddenly attacked Australia. The head of the Japanese Army Department, General Koichi Minai, was the biggest beneficiary, and the head of the Navy Department Man, Minister of the Navy Nagano Xiushan, he can't even fart, he's about to suffer from internal injuries!

But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and Nagano Shuzan has no way to change it, so he has no choice but to admit that he is unlucky, and hates the cunning old bastard Minai Koichi behind his back, but the matter is far from over. When he was leaving, Lieutenant General Fukunaga Kinio, the vice-officer of the military affairs of the base camp, came in with a sallow complexion and erratic footsteps.

Lieutenant General Fukunaga didn't dare to shout loudly, let alone attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, but slipped in close to General Mitsuko's ear, muttered with trembling lips, and took out several telegrams and handed them to Minai light one.

Immediately, Minai Koichi's face turned pale, his eyes blinked non-stop because of nervousness and surprise, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he said hoarsely to Emperor Hirohito: "Your Majesty, I have an important matter. Report!"

Emperor Hirohito, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the words, turned around and looked at Koichi Minu, and when he saw Koichi Minu's expressionless face that day, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Aiqing Minu, If there is something important, say it!"

The generals who were about to leave also saw that Minai Koichi's complexion was not right, so they naturally turned their guessing eyes over.

Minei Guangyi swallowed hard, and said: "Your Majesty, the General Staff of the base camp just received a report that 10 minutes ago, the Empire was attacked by the China Independent Division in the occupied area of ​​the Southwest Pacific, including Sumatra Island, Gary Fierce battles are taking place in Mandan, Luzon, Mindanao, Java, and Irian!"

"According to the emergency telegrams of the commanders of the imperial army defenders in various places, the independent division of China, with the cooperation of superior sea and air firepower, has begun to carry out landing operations in different areas of the above-mentioned areas. The offensive momentum is very violent. According to the recent incident Judging from the fighting situation, it is difficult for the Imperial defenders to hold the beachhead!"

"What? Why did this happen?" Emperor Hirohito's complexion changed drastically, and he murmured to himself numbly. Then, he slumped down on the dragon chair, staring blankly at the ministers who were also dumbfounded, almost dreaming Said: "My dear friends, how should I deal with it?"

The Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division and the troops directly under it launched an attack in Australia and ate the sap of nearly 10 Japanese soldiers in one bite. And the senior generals of the Japanese base camp, the brain went blank for a while.

I just came up with a strategy to deal with the Australian battlefield. The deployment of troops from the southwestern Pacific occupied area of ​​the empire to reinforce the Australian battlefield is the most critical move. The situation in Australia must be stabilized before the next step can be made, but the Chinese devil will not give it a chance. , A full-scale attack on the occupied area of ​​​​the Empire's Southwest Pacific Ocean requires not only Australia, but also everything that the Great Japanese Empire has obtained now. The shot is fierce and fatal!

The bosses of the Japanese army base camp were all covered in cold sweat and looked at each other in a hesitation. Minai Koichi's eyes were straightened. The statement he was most proud of just now was obviously unable to deal with this emergency. The areas attacked by the China Independent Division have mobilized troops, even with the existing troops of the empire in various occupied areas, whether they can protect themselves is an unpredictable thing!

One thing, Minei Koichi absolutely believes that Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, has millions of soldiers in the Indochina Peninsula, and has been holding back for more than a year. The strength and weapons and equipment are several times or even more than the defenders on the islands of the empire!

"You're all dumb!" Emperor Hirohito suddenly blushed furiously, "You, Kouichi Minai, didn't you talk eloquently just now, and come up with a detailed statement. Now, I want you to come up with a countermeasure immediately!"

"And you!" Emperor Hirohito shouted like a shrew, jumping up and down, "why don't you talk anymore, don't you usually have a lot of wisdom and good plans? Why don't you talk, tell me, Tell me how to deal with that damned devil of China, the all-out attack on the empire's southwestern Pacific occupied area!"

In the conference room, Hirohito's furious roar echoed, mixed with unconcealable fear and panic. All the bigwigs in the Japanese army base were crying and bowing. The situation in the Southwest Pacific was so dangerous. What a good strategy?

Especially Minai Koichi, his mouth was as bitter as if he had chewed Coptis chinensis. His Majesty the Emperor's angry and hysterical questioning made him feel extremely painful. In all fairness, if he really had a countermeasure, he would take it out without hesitation, even if, even if Therefore, it will not hesitate to damage the fundamental interests of the army, as long as it can be resolved, that damned Chinese devil's army suddenly attacked the empire's southwest Pacific occupied area!

But, no, Mineiguang has nothing to do, he can only bow deeply, his lips trembling, "Please calm down, Your Majesty, I don't have any good plans for the moment, please punish me!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your majesty has no good plan. It is your majesty who is incompetent. Please punish me! I hope your majesty will take care of your health!" All the senior generals in the base camp, no matter what their true thoughts were, bowed and pleaded guilty, and let those who had gone berserk first. It is only serious for His Majesty to be quiet. If His Majesty the Emperor suddenly has a sudden illness and hiccups, wouldn't the Great Japanese Empire be leaderless and plunge into chaos?

"Punishment? Humph! By punishing you, can the army of the damned Chinese devil stop attacking? By punishing you, you can ensure that the imperial occupied area will not fall into the hands of the Chinese?" Emperor Hirohito sneered again and again, He was so angry that his nose was twisted and his mouth slanted, "Hoo hoo!" He panted heavily, and his words were as sharp as knives.

Emperor Hirohito didn't really blame these ministers. He knew very well that Tang Qiuli's independent division's sudden attack on the empire's southwest Pacific occupied area was planned for a long time. Sooner or later, the empire would have a battle with Tang Qiuli, but this The First World War came at an inopportune time!

It is the most elite and largest heavy military group in the empire. At the critical moment of the competition with the Germans in the central region of the United States, the sudden attack of the damned China devil is simply fatal!

What's more, Yuren is so aggrieved now, he is going crazy, why his ambition will always be destroyed by Tang Qiuli, and he is brave and good at fighting the imperial army, and is defeated by this person in China mainland The same is true in the Far East and the Indochina Peninsula. Now, he wants to take away my Southwest Pacific occupied area, but he can't stop it!

That damned Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is my nightmare, "My dear friends, quickly come up with a countermeasure!" Hirohito's tone was almost begging!
