Age of Rebirth

It is useless to beg. These bigwigs in the Japanese base camp are well aware of the strength of the imperial army in the Southwest Pacific occupied area. The strongest force is Australia. There are more than 26 people, but they are lost in South Australia. Nearly [-] people, and the others are all gathered in northern Australia. What they have to face is hundreds of thousands of elite troops from independent divisions, as well as powerful sea and air firepower, which is not enough for self-protection.

In the other occupied areas, the maximum strength of the Imperial Army is no more than 6 or [-] people. The current plan is to strictly order the Imperial Army to defend the army and stick to it desperately. Well, no one knows that the biggest weakness of the Japanese Empire is the lack of soldiers.

Faced with His Majesty's begging tone and extremely miserable expression, the ministers could only cry bitterly, blaming themselves for being incompetent. The imperial army troops in the attacking area were all withdrawn to the mainland. As much as they could withdraw, it was better than being eaten up by independent division troops with superior forces in areas separated by seas.

In this way, the vitality of the empire is preserved for future counterattacks, but this means that the Empire of Japan will be forced to give up the Southwest Pacific occupied area, including Australia, which has been fighting with the Allies for several years. It is the bottom line that His Majesty the Emperor cannot touch. Can His Majesty agree to eat something in his mouth and spit it out again?

His majesty's temper, the one present didn't know, he didn't want to spit out the food he ate, and he didn't want to spit it out, so he gave up the suggestion of abandoning the entire Southwest Pacific Empire-occupied area.Is it similar to digging the ancestral grave of His Majesty's family?

Emperor Hirohito begged sadly, and the ministers cried bitterly, filling the solemn palace conference room.It was like a mourning hall for a funeral. The palace attendants and female officials who didn't know the inside story panicked, as if the sky was falling, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor had passed away?

"Enough!" Suddenly, a stern voice came out, very discordant.The ministers looked over with dim teary eyes, and saw that it was His Majesty's younger brother, the former chief of the general staff of the headquarters.The current deputy commander of the Imperial Homeland Defense Command, who has been dormant for a long time, is very low-key Prince Zairen, who is looking at the ministers with straight eyebrows.

At the moment when everyone is at a loss.Prince Zairen jumped out.It made these ministers have a strange feeling, but there was also a very tired disgust in their hearts, who are you, who are so reprimanded by these outstanding and respected imperial world leaders?

Zai Ren didn't care about the countless meanings hidden in the eyes that looked at him, and continued to say impassionedly: "At this moment when the empire's southwest Pacific occupied area is facing a crisis, what His Majesty needs is to come up with a good strategy to deal with the crisis. Instead of crying blindly here, what is the difference with a woman. Since you are in a mess, why discuss state affairs?"

Well, Zai Ren's words knocked down all the bigwigs in the base camp, and offended not just one or two people, but a large group of people, Prince Zai Ren's old enemy and political opponent Mi Nei Guangyi, But I don't want to listen.

Touching the tears on his face, Minei said tentatively: "We are incompetent and cannot share your majesty's worries. According to His Royal Highness, you have a good plan to solve the current crisis in the empire's occupied area in the Southwest Pacific Ocean." ? To share your majesty's worries, I waited until I wanted to listen to your majesty's clever plan?"

Mi Nei Koichi's words were very sour, because Zai Ren's words just now hurt everyone too much. He scolded others for not being able to control himself, but including himself, naturally he couldn't swallow this tone.

Zai Ren ignored Koichi Minei, but turned to his elder brother, the Emperor, and said solemnly: "Brother Emperor, I have some suggestions, but they may involve the fundamental interests of the empire. Is it timely?"

Tang Qiuli mobilized an army of millions, and suddenly launched a full-line attack on Japan's Southwest Pacific occupied area. This sap has already smashed Hirohito to the point of desperation. Hearing what his brother said, his eyes lit up immediately , as long as it can solve the current crisis, why is it out of date?

"Zairen, if you have any comments or suggestions, it's okay to say it. As long as it can resolve the current crisis, I will take it with all my strength and let it go! Even if you say something wrong, I will forgive you!" Yu Ren Urging hurriedly, the anticipation was beyond words, he knew that his little brother was always full of wit and tricks, maybe he really had some tricks up his sleeve?

Although in the midst of the mourning, Prince Zairen acted uniquely and successfully attracted the attention of the emperor to himself, but in fact, Zairen was also anxious in his heart. If it comes down, it may cause an uproar.

"Your Majesty, fellow colleagues!" Zai Ren said after considering his words: "For the present plan, the empire has to abandon the other occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific and withdraw all the Imperial Army troops to the Australian mainland... "

Before Zairen finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito roared angrily: "Zairen, do you know what you are talking about? Give up the empire's other occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific, thanks to what you said, it is the soldiers of the Imperial Army , with countless lives and blood, it was beaten from the hands of the Americans and the British, and you actually suggested that I give up these things, you..."

At this moment, Emperor Hirohito was so angry that his eyes were distorted, and he stared fiercely at his younger brother, looking like he would turn his back on him immediately, "Hehehe!" Prince Zaijin smiled bitterly, and he knew that the virtue of his elder brother, the emperor, was eaten. I didn't intend to spit out things, but the current situation is that I can't do it if I don't want to.

"Brother, please calm down. Please allow me to finish my sentence!" Prince Zairen said very sincerely: "As we all know, the empire's troops in the Southwest Pacific occupied area are seriously insufficient. In terms of the forces used by the devil and the battle reports we have received, please forgive me for being blunt, it is very difficult for the empire to hold the current occupied area!"

No one, including Emperor Hirohito, objected to Zairen's words, because it is the truth. For example, on Sumatra Island, the imperial garrison is only 15 people, and according to the commander of the imperial garrison on the island, the head of the Seventh Division Lieutenant General Nakai said in his telegram, "The China Independent Division has dispatched at least 40 troops, at least [-] combat aircraft, dozens of warships, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of gates. Caliber artillery provides fire support for landing operations!"

"A brigade of more than 10 people in our division was fully staffed and carried out anti-landing operations on the beachhead. Under the attack of the unprecedentedly powerful sea, air and ground firepower of the Chinese independent division's landing force, it took less than [-] minutes Inside, the casualties exceeded four-fifths, and all the positions were destroyed. Now, I have ordered the main force of the garrison to retreat to the central area of ​​Kalimantan Island and prepare to form a second line of defense!"

This is a telegram from the head of the Zhongjing Division more than half an hour ago. Now, more than half an hour has passed. It is not clear how the battle situation on Kalimantan Island is, but everyone knows that the situation is by no means optimistic. During the battle for the beachhead, the casualties of the imperial army were so heavy. Once the independent division of China successfully landed, the headquarters did not know what would happen next, but it was certain that the situation would be even worse.

"Zairen, keep talking!" Emperor Hirohito's face also looked better, and he said sullenly.

"Yes! Brother Emperor!" Zai Ren respectfully agreed, "It is unwise to do it knowing that it cannot be done. If you know that you cannot defend it, you will only increase the casualties of the imperial army. In the region, the Australian mainland is the most important, and Zai Ren doesn't need to elaborate on the reasons for it!"

At this point, Emperor Hirohito must not be included. The big bosses have already heard some tricks and couldn't help nodding. In fact, temporarily avoid the offensive edge of the independent division troops and withdraw the Imperial Army troops from all over the place to avoid causing damage. Bigger losses, this method, the bigwigs present, many of them know it well.

However, no one dared to touch this bad luck because of the scruples that this was the bottom line of His Majesty's psychology. Now, the words from Prince Zai Ren's mouth also fit the ideas of the big bosses, so naturally they would not object.

However, no one admires Prince Zairen's quick wit. Just now, His Majesty the Emperor scolded some of the best generals in the empire into almost idiots. The ministers felt very uncomfortable. The solution is not No, if it wasn't for some scruples, I would have taken it out a long time ago.

Alas, who told Zai Ren to be His Majesty's younger brother? This is a natural advantage. Even if you say something wrong, you don't have to worry about losing your head. Naturally, you can make suggestions without any scruples!

Prince Zairen was already immersed in his speech. Where did he notice the complex thoughts of the generals? He continued to talk about it: "Compared with Australia, other occupied areas of the empire are not important. As long as Australia is kept, The empire still has a chance to counterattack!"

"If this is the case, the total number of Imperial Army troops withdrawn to Australia from the six occupied areas of the Southwest Pacific Empire will be more than [-]. Adding the troops of the Imperial Army stationed in Australia, the total number can reach one million. With such a large group of imperial troops, it is entirely possible to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the independent division of China on the vast land of Australia, and in the end, it may not be known who will win the battle!"

Zai Ren's words are seldom understood at this point. The senior generals can't help but nod frequently. It is indeed the best strategy to deal with the crisis at present. If you want to lose, why not retreat to Australia, gather a large number of troops, and definitely have the power to fight again!

"Zairen, so I have to give up these occupied areas?" Although he was already inclined to Zairen's way in his heart, Emperor Hirohito said with a distorted face in pain.
