Age of Rebirth

Yuren is not an idiot. He knows very well that the value of Liaodong Peninsula and Fengtian is definitely hundreds of times more than [-] kilograms of gold. Money can't satisfy the appetite of that Chinese devil at all. If you are afraid, he took the opportunity to capture the entire Manchuria, and he has the ability to do so. In this way, the loss of the empire will not be the matter of the five thousand kilograms of gold.

The only way now is to pay as little as possible in exchange for Tang Qiuli to retreat to the original line of defense. This is too big a matter, and Emperor Hirohito can't make the decision. He can only call his confidant ministers to discuss it together. Countermeasures.

These ministers who were urgently called into the palace were all dumbfounded when they heard that they had to take out 200 kilograms of gold. The [-] kilograms of gold are in the Japanese treasury. People tightened their belts, and it was almost a waste of money. They only saved more than [-] tons. Tang Qiuli had to walk five tons at once, and no one could bear it.

According to what His Majesty the Emperor meant, it was more than that. Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli was gaining the upper hand. The five tons of gold might not be able to be spent. What could be the best way?The Kwantung Army units that can fight are all fighting the Soviets in the Far East. Moreover, the reinforcements of the Soviets are constantly moving to the Far East. [

If the situation continues to deteriorate, the Kwantung Army will face a joint attack from the Soviets and Tang Qiuli's troops. Manchuria will definitely be lost. There is no way but to choose the lesser of two evils and focus on dealing with the Soviets. After all, Tang Qiuli Conditions have been put forward, but now the Soviets are jealous and will not stop at all.

The result of the Kwantung Army’s stop is that there were 10,000+ casualties, and the Far East has not yet been obtained. Tang Qiuli here took the opportunity to occupy Manchuria. The battle of taking advantage of it, and it is now like this, was caused by that damned China devil Tang Qiuli, who stabbed him in the back, and that damned [-]-time Nagano Xiusan messed up things.

Several important ministers couldn't help cursing Tang Qiuli, and the Minister of War Bin Shanyuan reminded: "Masters, this is not the first time our empire has suffered from this Chinese devil. We should know his nature. The key to the problem now is how to To deal with this situation? Your Majesty hopes that you can find a good way."

The result of the final discussion at the imperial meeting can only be exchanged for Tang Qiuli's withdrawal from the Liaodong Peninsula and Fengtian at the minimum price. Satisfy the appetite of this Chinese devil.

The only way is to transfer most of the Kwantung Army troops back from the Far East, temporarily contain the fierce offensive of Tang Qiuli's troops, and then sit down to negotiate, or repel Tang Qiuli's troops to the front line of Jinzhou, and the empire negotiates. There are even more chips. Although this is difficult, it is also the only feasible way.

Lieutenant General Ishihara Ichiro, the deputy chief of the General Staff of the base camp, put forward a different opinion. The Kwantung Army is encircling and annihilating Timoshenko's troops at a critical moment. Isn't the deployment of troops at this time to relieve the Soviets?The troops invested in the early stage were very material, and they could not achieve my perfect effect. It was a loss to the empire, and I thought it was inappropriate.

As soon as Ishihara Ichiro finished speaking, he saw Emperor Hirohito looking at him like Nagano Shuzo, like an idiot, "How did this guy become a lieutenant general? Can the strategic position of the Far East be compared with that of Manchuria? Then It is the foundation of the empire," Hirohito thought to himself, and in his heart, Ishihara Ichiro had already been included in another book.

Kenkichi Ueda, who was doing a good job on the Far Eastern front, couldn't believe his eyes after receiving the order from the base camp. The [-] Soviet troops will be completely wiped out. At this time, if troops are transferred from the Far East to aid the Liaodong Peninsula, the entire Far East campaign will come to naught. What order from that mentally retarded and idiot?

Looking at the order, the signature of the chief of the general staff of the base camp, Prince Kanin Gong Zaijin, Ueda Kenkichi almost yelled, but thinking of the identity of the other party, he swallowed the swearing he was about to burst into his stomach, but it didn't prevent him from swearing. Zairen's female relatives greeted him several times in their hearts, and of course, they also brought along the nervous majesty in the palace.

Facing the great cause that is about to be achieved, Kenkichi Ueda is like a red-eyed gambler. He came to "the general is out, and the king's life is not accepted", tore up the orders of the General Staff Headquarters, and directed the troops to continue to attack the stubborn defense Timoshenko's remnants in Arsenyev.

Four hours later, another order was received. This time, it was an order signed by His Majesty Emperor Hirohito himself. It was very simple. In the order, Hirohito asked Ueda Kenkichi to immediately mobilize more than 20 troops from the Far East front line and go there quickly. In the Liaodong Peninsula area, Tang Qiuli's troops were prevented from continuing to attack other parts of Manchuria.

Perhaps it was estimated that Kenkichi Ueda could not be willing to deploy troops in front of such a big yoo. In the order, Emperor Hirohito ordered: "If the Kwantung Army does not execute the order quickly, stop Tang Qiuli's troops from continuing to attack other parts of Manchuria , then all the senior officers of the Kwantung Army Command will immediately apologize by cutting open their stomachs, and the empire does not need generals who don’t care about the overall situation.”

Kenkichi Ueda has lost his temper. No matter how courageous he is, he will not disobey the orders of the big boss, unless he does not want to be unarmed in Japan. o Deploy 25 troops and rush to the Liaodong Peninsula as quickly as possible.

He also had no choice. The Kwantung Army's first and second armies were both entangled by the Soviet army, and there was no way to escape. If any troops were transferred, the Soviet army would take the opportunity to go south to join Timoshenko's army, and would instead attack the attacking army. The third and fourth armies of the Kwantung Army threatened front and rear flank attacks.

He can only transfer troops from the Arsenyev battlefield, which has an absolute advantage in military strength. It is not enough if there is less. The army of the devil Tang Qiuli in China has more than 20 people, and tens of thousands of 10,000+ people are transferred. Hukou, in this way, the Kwantung Army troops attacking Timoshenko's Far East Second Army had less than 13 troops, and the Kwantung Army's attack intensity dropped immediately.

More than 20 troops were sent out, and Kenkichi Ueda fell from the extreme excitement to the bottom of disappointment. It felt like he was fighting wantonly on a peerless beauty, and when he was about to reach the peak of happiness, he was suddenly caught by someone. He slapped him on the back and told him with an expression, "It's time, come down immediately."

Kenkichi Ueda was depressed, so depressed that he wanted to kill someone, disappointed, so disappointed that he wanted to commit suicide, he was like a wounded wild wolf, in the frontline headquarters, staring fiercely at the eyes, he didn't like anything, even the usual Miss Sadako, the most beloved confidential secretary, also slapped His Excellency the Commander a few times, until her face became pink and discolored.

As for the staff officers who have been punched by His Excellency the Commander, there are countless. Kenkichi Ueda is on the verge of exploding. He doesn't understand the thoughts of the high-ranking officials in the base camp. Why did he make such a move when he won a complete victory? The order of the scrambled egg.

It seems extremely difficult to wipe out Timoshenko's troops now. He still can't understand that the Soviets on the opposite side are like invincible cockroaches. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army fought for more than two months, and even though it was their last breath, they did not die. [

And the Kwantung Army also paid a price of 10,000+ people. Shouldn't Soviet Russian soldiers be so tenacious?According to the seniors who participated in the Russo-Japanese War, as long as they surrounded Russian soldiers, these poorly equipped Russians would immediately raise their hands and surrender. Dare to launch an attack on thousands of Russian soldiers.

But the bloody battle with the Russian army for more than two months is not the case at all. If what the seniors in the army said is true, how to explain the current situation?If the seniors in the army are lying, why is it necessary to fart and fool these juniors?Kenkichi Ueda couldn't figure it out, so he was even more depressed, and he was a little dumbfounded.

It was his captain of the guard who was smart. Seeing His Excellency the Commander continue to be depressed like this, he might be insane. He came up with a good idea and brought dozens of captured Soviet soldiers to let the Commander vent his anger.

This trick really worked. Ueda Kenkichi chopped off the heads of more than a dozen Soviet prisoners in one breath. The resentment and depression in his heart followed the rolling heads all over the ground, the pungent bloody smell, and the Soviet corpses scattered all over the place. , gradually dissipated, and the whole person recovered his spirit. Then, he ordered the troops contentedly to stop the attack and change to encirclement. Each department set up a blocking position to prevent the Soviets from breaking through. As long as the Soviets are still in the net, they will not be able to escape. .

The first to feel the weakening of the Kwantung Army's attack power was Timoshenko, who was almost desperate. After more than two months of Japanese warfare, the Second Far East Army was severely damaged. The strength of the 28 troops at the beginning was reduced to less than 10. , lost all the tanks, and almost two-thirds of the artillery. If it weren't for the continuous airdrops and supplies of the Far Eastern Military Region Air Force, the group army would have ceased to exist long ago, submerged in the watery offensive of the Kwantung Army.

Since September [-]th, the artillery fire in the Far East has never stopped. There are fires everywhere, the sound of guns day and night, the sea breeze from the Sea of ​​Japan, and the smoke that can't blow the sky. In the outer positions of Arsenyev, I don’t know how many times it changed hands. For a highland of less than one square kilometer, the Japanese and the Soviets invested tens of thousands of troops and fought desperately. The wind, the flowing blood, freezes into mottled dark red.

Timoshenko has become numb, and repeats the same order every day to regain the lost positions. Thousands of Soviet soldiers are engaged in a deadly defensive battle. There is no hope for the Transcaucasus Front Army, and there is no Far Eastern Military Region He himself does not have the confidence to support the air supply channel established by the Air Force.
