Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2372 Lieutenant Hideki Tojo

When Hideki Tojo came to power, the devils of the General Staff all wanted to find an opportunity to perform well and take the opportunity to take the opportunity to completely reverse the situation in the Chinese battlefield, and even destroy China. Like the snails on the table, as long as they bend down, they can be sure.At this time, last month, the good husband "exaggerated" the severity of the situation in the northwest, and the prestige and prestige of the Changchina army destroyed the ambition of the imperial army. In their view, it was tolerable or unbearable, so they all jumped out to attack: "Extremely shameless! The mere Chinese people It’s just a guerrilla armed force, isn’t the 4 troops stationed in Mongolia not enough to deal with it?”

"Lieutenant General Lian Po was old last month. In my opinion, the commander of the Mongolian Army should be replaced immediately, and Masao Yano's position as chief of staff should also be removed!"

"No, Major General Yano's performance is still remarkable. He is just unlucky to have a chief official like Yue Yue."

……

As the prime minister, Hideki Tojo was supposed to be in the prime minister's official residence to "manage all kinds of affairs", but at this moment, he sat there impressively in the main seat of the main conference room of the General Staff Headquarters, and from time to time bowed his head seriously writing in his notebook. What is written.

When Hideki Tojo came to power, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, so he seemed high-spirited and ready to burn three fires.However, as the saying goes, if you are not in charge of a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. Now that you are in charge, he realizes that being a prime minister is not as easy as he imagined.Of course, his character is doomed that he will not think about the problem at all, and he does not know what pessimism and depression are, so in his mind, although the Chinese battlefield and the Pacific battlefield are temporarily "deadlocked", as long as the country can follow the steps he designed Go ahead and defeat China and the US will only be a matter of time.Ishihara Wanji described Hideki Tojo as "Army Private", which is not without basis.Hideki Tojo's mind is relatively simple. Of course, this also allows him to simplify many complex issues. Although there will certainly be no less sequelae, it is the fastest effective.If Tojo wants Japan to follow his ideas completely, he will naturally be constrained by dissidents. Among these forces, the naval "conservatives" headed by Yamamoto 56 are the biggest enemies of his New Deal.Hideki Tojo was able to take over the position, in fact, benefited from the iron triangle of the navy's strategy of retreating and advancing-in the eyes of Yamamoto 56, the cabinet is important, but the control of the military department determines the fate of the navy, so when choosing one of the two , He resolutely abandoned the cabinet and tried his best to protect the military.In fact, the military department is still firmly controlled by Yamamoto 56, but Hideki Tojo hopes that everything is under control, so he has his next move, which is to bypass the military department and directly give the general staff more power .

The Japanese General Staff Headquarters was originally a concentration camp for Japanese militants, and Hideki Tojo's counterfeit strategy of attacking Guo was really effective.Therefore, when the United Fleet was completely overshadowed by the Pacific Fleet, the rioters of the General Staff appeared on the stage one after another, and then there was a complete change in the Japanese Army's China strategy and Pacific strategy.

Previously, in the Far East Corps combat plan designed by the Japanese military, the primary target of attack would be Vladivostok.After taking Vladivostok and other Soviet Russian Far East regions, they will send troops to Novosibirsk, and then go all the way west until they join forces with the German Siberian Army.In this plan, the Far Eastern Army will temporarily separate itself from the war situation in China, and fully manage the war against the Soviet Union.But now, because of the intervention of the General Staff and the Northwest Corps of the Xuebing Army launching an attack at this critical moment, this plan has been completely rejected.

Unlike Yamamoto 56 who attaches great importance to relations with Germany, Hideki Tojo is self-righteous and doesn't care at all.This is related to the development process of the Japanese army and navy.The reason why the Japanese navy is strong is because it has learned from the successful experience of the British Royal Navy.Therefore, Japanese naval personnel are also used to paying attention to the world situation at any time, paying attention to absorbing advanced technologies and concepts.The Japanese army did not have this experience, and they were able to become the strongest army in East Asia. They did it all by themselves. Therefore, although they claim to be the second strongest army in the world and recognize the trump card status of the German army, in fact they have a lot of power in their hearts. But he was somewhat unconvinced, always thinking about taking back the title of number one.In addition, Hideki Tojo did not consider the consequences at all, nor would he care about the national strength and the people's sentiments. Therefore, when someone suggested to him that the expedition to the Soviet Union could be delayed and the annihilation of the Northwest Army should be the first choice, he just After a little thought, he agreed.

Unlike Hideki Tojo, who immediately reacted quickly when he received Yoshio’s telegram last month, Okamura Neiji and Yamada Otoko already felt that to completely resolve the China incident, they must invite German troops to enter China, so they all thought it was the best. What Yue Liangfu should do now is to withdraw the front line to the Chahar line, so as to get the support of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army nearby, so as to stabilize the Mengcha front line and buy time for the expeditionary army to go north.

The attitudes of Umezu Yoshijiro, Okamura Neiji, and Yamada Otsuki are different.Objectively speaking, at this time, Japan's formation of an expeditionary force to enter the territory of Soviet Russia to cooperate with the German army is an excellent opportunity for Japan to defeat Soviet Russia.At this time, on the long Sino-Russian border, the army directly under the Soviet-Russian Command was left with only a nameless Siberian Front Army. Although the so-called Mongolian Border Guards were amazing in number, they had dealt with them more than once. But Meijin knew very well that, let alone mobilizing all of the 30 expeditionary corps, even if only 10 were mobilized, it would be enough to crush the Mongolian border guards.Not to mention, there are still many pro-Japanese forces in the Mongolian border guards.Therefore, although the content of Yoshio's telegram last month was shocking, Meijin didn't take it to heart at all.The Kwantung Army, after repeatedly mobilizing elites to support the battlefields in Central China and the Pacific, still has nearly 60 troops.In other words, even if the 30 troops of the Expeditionary Corps were removed, Yamada Oto had still had 30 troops at his disposal.In addition to the Manchurian and Mongolian Defense Forces and the Korean Communist Army, Yamada Otoshi could actually mobilize more than 100 million troops.An army of this size was only used for defense. Meijin couldn't imagine how stupid Yamada Otoshi must be to be able to be copied by the Chinese on the back of the expeditionary army.

The assembly and formation of the expeditionary corps has been completed for a month, and the gasoline and aviation kerosene in the armaments and supplies will also arrive within a week, which means that the day when the expeditionary corps will send troops will be within ten days.Mezu's blood boiled when he thought of this—he was looking forward to this expedition so much.
