Agents of the Republic of China

In the winter of Showa 19 (1944), the turmoil in Kyushu was still going on. Hirohito, uncharacteristically, did not publicly express any attitude towards this incident. On the contrary, the military department and the government maintained a strong attitude as always, and dispatched a part of the No.15 Division Entering Kyushu to suppress the rebellion, Asaka Miya Hatohiko yelled in Tokyo and Kyoto for more than half a month, but it seemed to have punched cotton. Hirohito did not express his opinion at all about his jumping up and down, so he gradually calmed down.

It was thought that the war was one-sided, but from the beginning of the war, the government army suffered consecutive defeats.Under the leadership of a retired veteran Fukuda Heihachiro, the rebel army won three battles and defeated the main force of the government army in Chikushino, Kitakyushu.When the news came out, the whole country was shocked.There was a lot of turmoil in Tokyo for a while, and there were folk rumors that Kyushu's powerful feudal clan would once again stage the history of a strong Shangluo.After the defeat of the Fifteenth Division, only the Guards Division, the Royal Division, and a regiment of the original First Division remained among the elite divisions guarding the mainland. However, these troops still shoulder the responsibility of protecting Tokyo and the Kanto region. , once mobilized, the Kanto region will inevitably fall into a state of emptiness.

In desperation, Emperor Hirohito and the United Military Command issued an order to recruit part of the Chinese Expeditionary Army to return to the mainland.

These moves by the Japanese high-level officials were all expected by Lin Xiaotang. Prior to this, he had secretly called Yan'an and Chongqing, suggesting that the two sides launch counterattacks against Japan from various battlefields.Without the support of the material control plan, the Chinese dispatched army has reached a bottleneck in material supplies, and the soldiers are not uniform. The Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi some time ago has emptied all the strategic reserves of the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield.Therefore, the counterattack of the Chinese anti-Japanese military and civilians received immediate results.

The sixth and ninth theaters organized 50 elite troops to attack Hubei and northern Hunan, as well as Anhui and Henan. The No.30 Third Army Zhang Zizhong's troops were the arrow troops for this attack. They recovered most of Henan.The [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army set up a southward detachment and quickly marched behind the enemy lines in Hubei and Anhui to outflank the retreat of the Japanese army.The New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River, with the first division as the main force, crossed the Yangtze River from central Jiangsu. With the cooperation of Lin Xiaotang's subordinates, they quickly controlled a large blank area on the border between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and opened up a new base behind the enemy with the Tianmu Mountain Anti-Japanese Base as the center.

Tang Shengming's troops, who had already controlled most of the military power of the puppet government, did not work hard on the battlefield. They either surrendered as a system or collapsed at the touch of a button. Some troops simply launched an uprising on the battlefield, directly attacking the Japanese behind attack.It made the Japanese army miserable.

In view of this situation, the nearly one million Japanese army was firmly dragged on the Chinese battlefield, and the military department was also afraid that the deployment of troops would cause the collapse of the entire front, so the transfer order could only be put aside.

No way, after discussing with the Emperor Hirohito, the military had to order the transfer of the two divisions of the Kwantung Army back to the mainland. Officers screened, but the effect is not known.

Just when the army was stretched and exhausted, there was a report from the Philippines that the Japanese navy suffered a crushing defeat in the Wright Gulf naval battle and basically lost its combat effectiveness at sea.

After the fall of Saipan and the Mariana Islands, the Philippines became the only channel for the Japanese army to transport resources and supplies from the southern front to the mainland. Even the passage between the Chinese front and the mainland would be threatened.In order to turn the tide of the battle, the Japanese Navy decided to put all their eggs in one basket and defeated the Allied forces and naval fleet that landed from Wright Gulf in the Philippines.

But the Japanese combined fleet at this time is no longer comparable to the fleet at the beginning of the war.The tonnage of the fleet is only 73 tons, the aviation force has lost two-thirds, and a large number of experienced pilots have returned to the sea. The entire combat force is only half of the Allied forces.

Therefore, the result is already predetermined.Four Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk, and only thirteen battlecruisers and other heavy ships were lost. Since then, the Japanese Navy has no longer been able to launch a sea attack, which means it has lost most of its sea control.

When the battle report came, Lin Xiaotang just glanced at it briefly, then threw it aside.

Takeda Yoshio looked at Lin Xiaotang while drinking tea. During the three months in Mainocho, Lin Xiaotang almost never left home, but the news that happened in every corner of Japan was transmitted here without any mistakes.Takeda Yoshio lamented how funny Lin Xiaotang was in controlling the organization, and at the same time felt deep fear in his heart.

If such a person cannot be used by me, he will definitely have an impact on the future of the Russian Soviet.

Lin Xiaotang seemed to see Takeda Yoshio's worry, and handed him a telegram in his hand, "Mr. Takeda, I hope you will remember that I have always been a Chinese!"

Takeda Takeo snorted coldly, "Soviet cause does not distinguish nationality! That is a great feat of liberating all mankind!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Oh, it seems that you think highly of the Russians. Well, please remind your superiors at the right time that after the war, the trend of the world must be democracy, freedom and liberation. At that time, please don't forget Return the territory to China!"

Takeda Yoshio was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.

Lin Xiaotang spread his hands, "Look, this is politics. No matter how high-sounding the country is, it always takes its own interests as the main premise. Just like Russia, it always likes to point fingers, and it can't explain why when it comes to substantive issues. So please Don't show your superior side in front of me anymore, we are equal now, and we will be in the future!"

Seeing Takeda Yoshio's embarrassment, Lin Xiaotang felt much relieved. This Chinese with a Japanese name seems to have a blind worship of Russia. This feeling has always made Lin Xiaotang very uncomfortable.Lin Xiaotang had no doubt that once he did something that harmed the interests of the Russians, this person would turn his guns against him without hesitation.However, there is nothing to worry about, Lin Xiaotang is completely confident that he can handle any move he makes.

"The Russian army has liberated Warsaw, and it is a matter of time before they enter Germany. Next, how do you plan to implement my suggestion to you?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

Takeda Yoshio put the telegram on the table, "We have our own considerations. When will it be launched? I don't think there is any need to report this issue to Your Excellency!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled relaxedly, touched his chin, "Well, you can do whatever you want!"

Takeda Yoshio was taken aback, he wanted to threaten Lin Xiaotang with his indifferent attitude, but he didn't expect Lin Xiaotang to be so light-hearted.According to the previous agreement, the Russian army will launch an attack on the four northern islands of Japan, and then Hokkaido while attacking the Kwantung Army entrenched in Northeast China.In Takeda Yoshio's view, without his own help, Lin Xiaotang would not be able to cause much trouble in Japan. Although the current chaos in Kyushu has broken out, at best it is nothing more than a one-off event, far from having any far-reaching impact.

Takeda Yoshio coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Then, what are you going to do next...?"

Lin Xiaotang looked at the document in his hand without even raising his head, "Mr. Takeda, let me say one more thing, I hope you can weigh the current situation clearly. I come from a businessman background, and I will never do anything that is not beneficial. Gui If Fang wants to get a piece of the game, it is best to follow the rules of the game. The Americans have already reached the Philippines. Not to mention anything else, even if there is no landing war, even if it is a large-scale airborne landing, landing in Japan is far more difficult than It’s much more convenient for you. I think you don’t want to be involved in a war with a larger scale and a stronger opponent immediately after this war is over?”

Takeda Yoshio's face instantly turned white.

Lin Xiaotang said slowly, "You are also Chinese, so you should understand some Chinese principles of the golden mean. There is a balance in everything, and the first to break the balance is always the first to die. Remember my words, Many friends, many paths!"

Lin Xiaotang picked up the teacup, "Tea, please!"

……

In the afternoon, Naoe Seigo visited Lin Xiaotang as a representative of the General Staff Headquarters. In fact, since Kenji Doihara left, Lin Xiaotang became a dispensable character. How could there be time to ask about Lin Xiaotang, besides, here is the manpower arranged by Kenji Doihara himself, and it is in the mainland, where can a prisoner under house arrest escape to.

Takeda Yoshio reported the situation to Naoe Seigo for several months, and then resigned. It can be seen that Lin Xiaotang's words in the morning had a great influence on him. Due to hard thinking, his mental state was not very good.

After Takeda Yoshio left, Lin Xiaotang ordered several of his subordinates to seal off the courtyard. Naoe Seigo covered the door and said in a low voice, "According to your instructions, those two people are ready."

"I still say the same thing, everything is based on your safety. Will there be any changes to those two people?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

Naoe Chengwu nodded gratefully, "I didn't reveal my identity, your information is not wrong, they are indeed the descendants of those two people, and I have never forgotten the family's blood feud for so many years, I just use the same way There are many young officers in the army in small groups like this, and they will definitely not attract attention!"

Naoe Seigo was very surprised, "How did you find these two people? Because of history, they are hidden very deeply, and the story about their family is not known!"

Lin Xiaotang chuckled, "In the early days of the [-] Revolution, Mr. Zhongshan stayed in Japan for a long time. The sealed history and characters were all learned during that period. They were originally just some materials left behind, but now they are in this chaotic situation. At that time, these two people will be very useful. The point is, they are in Tokyo, and they have some military power."

Naoe Seigo suddenly realized, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "This is the current identity, position, family situation and address of those two people!"

Lin Xiaotang took it over, "From now on, don't contact them for the time being, I will send someone to keep an eye on them, and carefully observe their reactions."

Lin Xiaotang laughed suddenly, "There shouldn't be any problems, Japan has never been short of ambitious guys, I believe the two of them will be no exception!"
