The Republic of Heroes

"The fleet from the mainland will arrive in five days, and you have seven days to prepare..."

After the details were finalized, Naozaburo Okabe was explaining the basic situation to several generals, while Toshikazu Terauchi continued to sit on the main seat without saying a word, scanning the subordinates in front of him with his eyes like an eagle, and finally stopped at the post. On Murakami's face.

"Does the head of Gangcun Division have something to say?"

Okamura Ningji saw the general in the temple asking him by name, and he was no longer silent. He straightened up and confessed his views.

"Your Excellency's plan is perfect, but there is still a loophole that cannot be ignored..."

"Oh? Vulnerabilities?"

Terauchi Shouyi was quite surprised to hear that Okamura Ningji questioned this plan. In his opinion, this plan is already close to perfection. Unless General Shina can predict the future, as long as this battle plan can achieve half of the set goals, he will There is no doubt that he will lose.

"Mr. Gangmura, please explain in detail!"

Neiji Okamura and other major generals did not pay attention to this, but Naozaburo Okabe, who knew him well, was secretly surprised. Your Excellency looks at it differently, it is really not a simple role, but it is a pity to hear that this person even lost a man's life in the battle of Songhu.

Naozaburo Okabe couldn't help but look at Ningji Okamura a few more times, and he really has a bit of tolerance. If he hadn't met General Shina, he might not be able to rise to fame in time, and he has made great achievements in battle!It's not too late to start from scratch now, and he can still make contributions to the imperial country, but it's a pity that even if he survives to the end, he can only stop after the general, and it is absolutely impossible to aspire to be the marshal.How could it be possible for the imperial country to let an incomplete person be the marshal?

From this, he thought of Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, who also had to amputate due to his wounds worsening on the Songhu battlefield.Although he still has time to make up for his mistakes, but like Okamura Ningji, how could the imperial country let a cripple be the marshal?What a pity, what a pity.

Neiji Okamura didn't know that Naozaburo Okabe was slandering him, and the saliva flying in his seat was flying everywhere.

"General China's strength lies in its intelligence. The Ninth Division's defeat in Shanghai was not because the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom did not dare to fight hard, nor was it because their weapons were not good enough. The problem was that the intelligence system of the Chinese people had penetrated into the staff of the headquarters in Shanghai at that time. The battle plan formulated that morning will be put in front of General China in the evening without any accidents, and what is fatal is that I was attacked by the China people before I had time to track down the spies..."

Neiji Okamura's face twitched a bit when he said this, and mentioning the battle that he had been reluctant to touch for dozens of days was tantamount to adding salt to his own wounds.But this time he had to say it, because it was related to the future of the imperial kingdom, and he had no reason to be weak any longer.

Terauchi Shouichi didn't expect Okamura Neiji to emphasize the issue of confidentiality, and he didn't take it seriously.It is true that secrecy is the top priority, but he does not believe that Chinese people can infiltrate into the Northern China Expeditionary Army that he has just formed. Information can only be accessed by an important member of the staff.The background and experience of all members of the staff department have been reviewed by him personally. None of them came from a non-commissioned officer school or an army university, and have rich combat experience. How could he be sloppy with his right-hand staff department.

The room went cold for a while, Terauchi Shou nodded in agreement with the importance of confidentiality work, but did not continue what Okamura Neji said.Okamura Ningji was in a hurry. This was their last chance. He didn't want to suffer another fiasco due to the leak of information. If that day really happened, he would have to cut open his stomach to thank His Majesty the Emperor.

Thinking of this, Neiji Okamura emphasized again.

"Gangcun is not questioning the confidentiality work of the staff, but it is necessary to raise it. I hope that the general will pay attention to the officers in the staff who have the experience of the former Shanghai staff. Each of them may be a time bomb."

"Oh?"

Terauchi Shouichi was once again amazed. How did Neiji Okamura change so much? This is completely different from the impression he gave him when he served in the Ministry of Army. How did a person who was quite clever before become so stubborn and annoying now? bored.Is it because the root of life is gone?Thinking of this, he became more and more sure of his thoughts.

But Okamura Neiji was still relentless, he finally became anxious when he saw Terauchi Shouichi still indifferent, he suddenly stood up, and the chair he was carrying backed back, making a harsh sound.

"Your Excellency, please conduct a thorough investigation. The soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom are desperately fighting ahead. They cannot be allowed to take any unnecessary risks."

As soon as the words came out, Terauchi Shouichi's face became a little unnatural. No subordinate had ever dared to speak to him like this, but Okamura Neiji was out of publicity. He suppressed his anger and wanted to sternly reject Okamura's proposal, but For some reason, he nodded his head in a strange way.In fact, Terauchi Shouichi listened to Neiji Okamura's statement, and was also worried about the security of the current staff.

The intelligence personnel of the Imperial Kingdom are very good, and the intelligence they get is almost never missed, but this does not mean that there are equivalent espionage defense measures in his army.After making up his mind, Terauchi Shouichi was noncommittal on the surface, and brought the topic back to the battle plan.

"Mr. Gangcun's proposal will be considered by the headquarters. The next task is arduous and needs to be landed from the enemy's rear. For the prosperity of the empire, I hope that all the kings will work together."

Naozaburo Okabe took up the topic, "According to the Air Force's investigation, in addition to the Yellow River defense line, General China's military deployment also deployed a considerable number of elite troops to defend Qingdao. It should be said that General China's military sensitivity is still very high, but The general does not intend to land here, the real landing point is actually here."

Naozaburo Okabe said as he got up and came to the huge floor-to-ceiling military map, and pointed to a place.Ningji Okamura and the others suddenly realized that it was there.The specific combat time and combat location were not mentioned in that combat plan. It should be said that the North China Front Army Staff Department is quite cautious.

The meeting did not dissipate until ten minutes after the lights were turned on. Most of the lights in the room had been turned off. The wall lamp on the south wall was emitting a dim yellow light in the darkness, and a table in front of the desk illuminated the tabletop in front of Shouichi Terauchi palely.The Japanese general was leaning on a chair, his eyes closed, motionless.Naozaburo Okabe went back and forth, knowing that the dozing temple in front of him still had something to say.Sure enough, before his footsteps stopped, Temple Shouichi suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"The issues raised by Neiji Okamura should be targeted and some actions should be taken."

"Hi, let's arrange a secret investigation."

Shou Yi in the temple shook his head and said: "It's not an investigation, it's to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Let the snake out of the hole?"

Okabe Naozaburo wanted to see the expression of Terauchi Shouichi in surprise, but there was only a blurred outline hidden in the darkness.
