Age of Rebirth

Based on Min Neiguang's deep understanding of Prince Zairen, he is sure that this scheming guy has made his opponent, who he is quite afraid of, have deeper plans and refuse to take the position of the coveted commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in Australia It is not his style to give up the great opportunity to make a comeback, so what exactly is Zairen planning?

Mi Neiguang's vacillating eyes, Nagano Xiushan's painful and depressed face, all fell into the eyes of Prince Zain, he sneered secretly: "Don't show wrong feelings, let alone hate wrong people, my last few days In a word, it is definitely not a reward for Minai Koichi's support for himself, nor is it taking the opportunity to suppress the Navy, it is purely out of consideration for the fundamental interests of the Great Japanese Empire!"

From the heart, the future commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in Australia is definitely a hot job. With more than 200 million elite troops of the Empire, who would not want to command such a large army?Prince Zairen thought too, very much.

But he knew that in his heart, since he was defeated by Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan in the Battle of the Far East, and lost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Imperial Far East Dispatch Army, after returning in embarrassment, Zairen fell into a root cause, which was At the thought of confronting Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, and his fierce soldiers, he lost all self-confidence, trembled in his heart, and had nightmares for no reason.

Zai Ren knew very well that the damned Chinese man and his troops had become his nightmare, and he couldn't get rid of it. He couldn't defeat this enemy. Instead of doing this, he might as well leave it to others!

Seeing his younger brother, he said that he would not be the commander-in-chief even if he died, so Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to give up.Said: "Since Zai Ren feels that he is incompetent for the position of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in Australia, well, the General Staff will propose a suitable candidate. Let me inspect!"

"In addition, the general staff responsible for the evacuation of all troops in the southwestern Pacific occupied area of ​​the empire will be handed over to the general staff of Minai Aiqing. Hurry up, don't wait until the imperial army has suffered heavy losses before rushing to evacuate! Transfer the joint fleet to the East Nagano Aiqing will be in charge of the battle in the Indian Ocean. Hurry up, don’t make any excuses to delay, I can’t afford to wait. Neither can the empire’s interests in Australia!”

"Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the negotiations with the Germans. You know my bottom line. Two-thirds of the land in the central part of the United States will be given to the Germans. The empire must completely own the western part of the United States. This bottom line cannot be broken Otherwise, I might do something!"

"I'm tired, all my dear ministers, take care of your duties and share my worries!" After saying a few words, Emperor Hirohito got up and left, turning a blind eye to the bowing and sending off of a group of ministers.Although Zai Ren came up with a solution to the crisis of the empire's Southwest Pacific War, Hiro Ren's heart.It's still very unpleasant, even painful. The price is too high. Cutting the flesh and then cutting the flesh will almost cut off half of my life!

The few people who took over the errand had different moods. Minister of the Navy Nagano Xiushan was like a defeated rooster. In any respect, the navy department suffered the most, losing the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command In the early days of the war against the United States, the meritorious deeds made by Yamamoto 56 were easily accepted by the army. Take it away, depressed!

Minister of Foreign Affairs Kobayashi, who received the important task of breaking through with the Germans, was not at ease. In the current North American battlefield, it seems that the Imperial Army and the Germans are evenly matched, but the actual situation is that the Imperial Army troops are all in the German army. In the strategic encirclement situation, this negotiation is not easy!

The one with the bitterest heart, like chewing coptis in his mouth, was General Mineiguang, the Minister of Army and Chief of the General Staff of the base camp. The job he received was the most difficult, the most complicated and the heaviest.

Mineiguang walked out while racking his brains. It is not easy to withdraw troops from the occupied area of ​​​​the Empire’s Southwest Pacific Ocean that is being attacked by the independent division troops. An operation to withdraw more than 80 soldiers was scattered across the country. It is conceivable that several battlefields that are not connected to each other are extremely difficult.

How to make the Imperial Army troops who are fighting without being bitten by the Chinese troops, safely withdraw from the battlefield, and reach Australia is a difficult problem to solve first, and the most critical problem is the problem of ships and transport ships.

The mass evacuation of more than 80 people requires how many transport ships to be completed in the shortest possible time. Just thinking about it makes Minei’s head swell a little. Where do so many transport ships come from? nothing.

Also, even if there are enough ships, when the imperial army withdraws, the huge fleet of transport ships needs to pass through a large area of ​​sea before reaching the Australian mainland. Then, can this voyage at sea be completed without the escort of warships?

The answer is obviously no. The fleet of the China Independent Division is swimming in the southwest Pacific waters. The imperial troop carriers without escort warships have become living targets. I am afraid that they will all become dead before they reach the Australian mainland. The ghosts on the bottom of the sea are dead, but the most powerful joint fleet of the Imperial Navy is far away on the west coast of the United States. Even if they arrive at full speed, it will take more than two weeks.

The ensuing question is, even if the combined navy fleet arrives ahead of time, can the rebellious Yamamoto 56 obey the orders of the General Staff unconditionally? Minai Koichi can't guarantee that, after all, he just wiped out the navy Together, including Nagano Xiushan, people in the naval system must be full of resentment.

All kinds of chaotic problems, entangled together, are all uncertain and unclear things. In just a few minutes, Min Neiguang felt exhausted, so that his spirit was a little trance, and even Prince Zairen walked quickly. When it was in front of my eyes, I didn't even notice it.

"Mi Nei-kun!" Prince Zai Ren called out softly, but Min Nei Guangyi did not respond, "Min Nei-kun!" Zai Ren emphasized his tone.

"Ah? Oh, it's His Royal Highness!" Mi Nei Guangyi realized that Prince Zai Ren, whose eyes were shining brightly, was standing in front of him, and said flatly, "Your Highness, what can I teach you?" In his tone, there was alertness and distance.

Prince Zain didn't mind Minei Koichi's attitude, and said straightforwardly: "If my guess is correct, Mr. Minei is thinking about how to solve the evacuation of so many imperial soldiers, the large number of ships needed, and the people who are currently fighting. Troops of the Imperial Army, how to get out of the battlefield smoothly?"

These two questions are the ones that Min Neiguang is extremely distressed and can't figure out, and Zairen's words hit the nail on the head.

The expressions on Mi Neiguang's face became more colorful, and he tentatively said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness has a countermeasure?" In his tone, he already wanted to ask for advice.

"Minai-jun, please sit here and take up a little of your time. Zai Ren has some suggestions!" Prince Zai Ren said very peacefully.

As soon as Mi Neiguang knew that this guy was full of ghost ideas, and his wisdom was higher than his own. Now, when he was at a loss, it would definitely be beneficial to listen to it.

After the two sat down, Prince Zairen said directly: "Mr. Minei, time is running out, so I won't talk nonsense. First of all, it is the problem of transporting ships. My suggestion is to requisition all civilian ships in the occupied areas of the empire. It is a ship that can carry imperial soldiers, all of which are unconditionally requisitioned, and of course, the necessary expenses must be paid!"

"Don't forget, the empire's occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific Ocean are all lands facing the sea. Will there be fewer private ships in each country? There is another advantage in doing this. You don't have to wait for the escort of the imperial army to transport imperial soldiers by civilian ships. Once the fleet arrives, it can start. If the naval warships of the China Independence Division attack these ships, it will be massacring civilians, which will definitely arouse strong resistance from the local indigenous people!"

"The empire can use this to make a big fuss. Even without the mobilization of the empire, the Chinese will have thousands of deadly enemies. The independent division troops will encounter great resistance in advancing on the islands. If the effect Best, the battle for the empire's southwest Pacific occupied area will turn into a war between soldiers of the China Independent Division and the local aborigines!"

"Wonderful! No one in the world can surpass His Royal Highness's strategy!" Mi Neiguang's eyes were staring, and Zai Ren's hand is really fucking good!Not only did it solve the problem of transporting ships, but it also solved the problem of escorting warships. It also made the warships of the China Independent Division Fleet fight rats, which is really a wonderful strategy to kill birds with one stone!

"His Royal Highness's words made Minei suddenly enlightened, like seeing the sunny sky through the clouds and mists. Minei has been taught!" Mi Nei stood up together, respectfully bowed deeply to Prince Zairen, and his tone was absolutely sincere. He was sincerely convinced, throwing Leaving other matters aside, it was just this strategy that I couldn't figure out.

Of course, Prince Zairen definitely didn’t want to enjoy the sincere convincing of his political opponent Minai Koichi. His starting point was still considering the fundamental interests of the empire. After the troops evacuate, they still have to walk on the sea for a few days. How difficult it is. He is not helping Koichi Minai, but the Empire of Japan.

"Minai-kun's words are serious, Zairen is just doing a little bit of the meager strength of a member of the empire!" Prince Zairen hurriedly got up, and said very sincerely with his hands supporting Minei Guangyi. The attention of the departing base camp generals.

These bigwigs are all strange, two old enemies who have always been at odds, picking their noses and eyeballs, and fighting openly and secretly for many years, what happened, you were humble, friendly, and made it look like a pair of good friends?unusual!

However, these bigwigs are well aware of the depth of the pool between the two of them, and no one will come to make fun of it. The Minister of the Navy, Nagano Xiushan, saw this scene in his eyes, and gritted his teeth in hatred.
