Age of Conquest Reborn

Emperor Hirohito's military meeting in front of the emperor has gone to this extent. I can't blame these big guys. They are not fools. The situation is clear. Stalin is definitely not targeting the China devil Tang Qiuli to kill the Duli Division.

After that, the next target is the Kwantung Army, no one doubts this.

Precisely because the situation is very clear, it is difficult to make a decision. There are only two roads before the Kwantung Army. One is to retreat from the outer Xing'an Mountains, return to Manchuria, and swallow up the territory of the Soviet Far East, including the ever-threatening territory.

Japan's backyard port of Vladivostok should be spit out and returned to the Russians, and then special envoys could be sent to negotiate with the Russians. In this way, the Kwantung Army could retreat intact.

The other way is to fight to the death with the Soviet army in the Far East and protect the interests that have been obtained. The Empire of Japan has not the habit of spitting out what it eats. Although the military generals have this intention, they can't.

You have to have the courage, right?

As long as he does not have a high fever to the point of confusion, or is so arrogant that he does not know the heights of the sky, he will understand the current situation. Facing the two million troops of the Soviet Far East Front, the Kwantung Army can only maintain a stalemate, but cannot break the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, with the bravery and skill of the Kwantung Army, we would not have spent more than two years fighting the Russians on the front line of the Waixing'an Mountains.

The first way can be said to be the safest way at present. Japan has lost nothing. What it gave up is just the land snatched from the Russians. However, this means that under Stalin's huge military pressure,

, the Japanese Empire became timid, retreated, and was afraid of the Russians.

The person who first proposed this suggestion will definitely be criticized by thousands of people, spurned by the fanatical citizens, and drowned in public opinion. He will definitely be labeled as a "coward". In order to calm down the boiling public opinion in the country, His Majesty the Emperor will

If you use your own head again to thank the people of the country, your death will be even more unjust!

The second way can gain a good reputation, but the cost is more than 1.5 million Kwantung Army troops, more than 4 million troops transferred from the Soviet Union's European direction, plus Zhukov's Far East Front Army with more than 1.5 million troops

, added together, reaching a huge military strength of nearly 6 million people, the Soviets can drown 1.5 million Kwantung Army soldiers even if they don't fight, and if the Kwantung Army is defeated or the entire army is annihilated, what will happen to Manchuria?

?

Don’t forget, there is also the China Devil Tang Qiuli’s number one general, the 500,000-600,000 troops commanded by Duli Division’s East Command Commander Liu Tiehan, who are eyeing the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning. The Kwantung Army was severely damaged by the Soviet army, which coincided with the China Devil Tang.

Qiu Li's thoughts.

If the Kwantung Army is defeated in the Far East and loses not only the Far East but also Manchuria, then His Majesty the Emperor will be held accountable for the loss of cities, territory, troops and generals. Those who tried their best to lead the battle in the first place will definitely be the first to endure hardships.

head man.

With His Majesty the Emperor's ruthless style and sinister and somewhat neurotic personality, can there be any good results?

This is a dilemma. Those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with the Soviets will be labeled as "cowards" and "traitors" and will end up not much better. Those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with nearly six million people will be labeled as "cowards" and "traitors".

For those who fought a decisive battle with the Soviet Army, the day the Kwantung Army was defeated was the day when they were unlucky, and no one could get any good from them. Therefore, the Japanese military and political officials, with the mentality of talking about disaster, kept silent.

.

Emperor Hirohito performed a one-man show by himself and kept talking for more than three hours. His mouth was dry and his throat was filled with smoke. He was helpless. The military and political officials below were like Bodhisattvas in the temple, with their eyebrows lowered and their eyes submissive.

He listened attentively and showed a pious attitude of listening to His Majesty the Emperor's teachings, but said nothing, not even a follower or a compliment.

Even the generals of the army and navy, who have always been at odds with each other and would quarrel with each other at every meeting, are for the first time not like red-eyed chickens. They get angry when they come up, and can cause huge quarrels over trivial matters. They are surprisingly quiet and no longer talk to each other.

It doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Hirohito felt bitter for a while. These officials, who were always talkative, rushed to talk one by one, as if they were afraid of not being able to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. What happened today?

All mute?

Emperor Hirohito had a gloomy face, glanced around with cold eyes, and said coldly: "My dear friends, if anyone has any good suggestions or suggestions, just say them in front of me. On this occasion, the Empire of Japan

At this moment when our interests are at stake, all my dear friends should share my worries for me!"

It was the first time for General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, to participate in such a high-level imperial military meeting. Originally, he was the first to bear the brunt. Four million Soviet troops were coming towards his Kwantung Army. He should have made a statement, but

After thinking about it carefully, I found that I didn't know what to say to His Majesty the Emperor.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the territory in the Far East. Even if the big boss here makes such a suggestion, he will jump out and oppose it. Is it easy for him to command the Kwantung Army and fight with the Soviet army?

A bloody battle led to today's situation. It was the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who sacrificed their lives for it.

However, Nanjiro did not have the courage to let go and fight the Soviet army. Even if the Soviet reinforcements came with one million people, the Kwantung Army still had the courage and strength to fight the Soviet army to the death.

There are four million Soviet troops, plus Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops, the strength ratio is six to one. How to fight this battle, not counting the difference in heavy equipment.

Even though the Kwantung Army was the flower of the Japanese army, brave and adept at fighting, with a bushido spirit and no fear of death, and General Nanjiro commanded operations to the level of proficiency, facing the overwhelming advantage of the Soviet army, General Nanjiro was secretly afraid and had to

After considering the comparison of strength, I can't afford to put in any effort.

Now, after listening to His Majesty the Emperor's heartfelt words, General Nanjiro felt that all the cells in his body were beating, and the blood in his heart rushed to his face with a "snort", and a sense of bravery arose in his heart.

Sharing the worries of His Majesty the Emperor is what every person

It is the responsibility and sacred mission of the Japanese Emperor. Moreover, the battlefield for the decisive battle is in our own war zone. If we continue not to speak, we will be sorry to His Majesty the Emperor, and it will be our own shame. Even if the entire Kwantung Army is in pieces, we still have to fight with the Soviet Union.

The army fights to the death.

Thinking of this, Nanjiro wanted to stand up and state his point of view. Of course, he was the one who took the lead. Before he could stand up, he received a heavy kick on his left calf. He turned his head and looked over in surprise.

, the Minister of War, General Koichi Mineuchi, who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips tightly with an expressionless expression, and there was no wave on his face, but Nanjiro knew that the one who kicked him must be the top boss of the army.

.

This kick was like a needle pricking the bulging balloon. General Nanjiro's passionate blood suddenly poured out. His heated mind instantly dropped to freezing point. He was secretly afraid of his actions. It was so dangerous.

, almost made a splash.

Just imagine, which of the big guys here is not more powerful than you, or has more political experience than you, would they not think of this? Definitely not, the water here is very deep!

I am not in the center of power, and I don’t know the intricate relationships involved, let alone the depth of the water. If I plunge in without being drowned, I will have to choke on a few mouthfuls of water. General Nanjiro thought to himself in a cold sweat. He couldn’t help but thank Koichi Minai for this key.

His kick was equivalent to saving his life.

The atmosphere of the meeting was solid and awkward. Others could make clay carvings and wood sculptures. Prince Kanin Miyazaishito, the chief of general staff of the base camp, could not remain silent any longer because the eyes of his brother, the emperor, were already fixed on him.

If you don't speak, you probably won't be able to escape.

With Prince Zairen's cunning and scheming, he certainly knew why these civil and military ministers, who were usually talkative, remained silent. In fact, he was also in a dilemma, but it was definitely not possible to remain silent.

Prince Zai Ren stood up slowly, looked at Emperor Hirohito, and said carefully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, gentlemen, the situation in the Far East is very clear. Stalin has sent out more than four million troops to eliminate all the enemies in one fell swoop.

There are all factors that threaten the Soviet Union's eastern territory, that is to say, the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in Outer Mongolia and our Kwantung Army troops on the front line of the Xing'an Mountains will inevitably become targets of the Soviets."

Prince Zai Ren did have a few words. What he said was thorough and to the point, but it was no different from nonsense. The big guys here are not all confused. They can still see the situation in the Far East. His Majesty the Emperor wants to

Solutions, not situation analysis.

Prince Zai Ren also felt the impatience and disdain of the big bosses, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued: "Gentlemen, when faced with the Soviet troops pressing down on the border, it is absolutely difficult for the Kwantung Army to compete with its own strength.

, the empire is in the Australian battlefield in the southwest Pacific, leading

Too much energy was spent and it was impossible to mobilize troops to support the Far East battlefield. Judging from the direction of the Soviet army's assembly, the attack should start from the west of the Ural Mountains. The troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the Outer Mongolia region would bear the brunt of the Soviet attack.

Target."

"For today's plan, the countermeasures of our Empire of Japan should be like this. The Kwantung Army troops will stay put, maintain the status quo, and wait and see the development of the battlefield situation. If Tang Qiuli's troops are quickly defeated by the Soviet army, we will make further decisions based on specific conditions.

According to the war situation, take corresponding countermeasures."

"If the troops of Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil, are fighting with the Soviet army for a long time, we might as well reach a secret agreement with either the Soviets or the Chinese devil, and then send troops when both sides are exhausted.

Strive to defeat the other side, and my opinion is to reach a compromise with the China devil Tang Qiuli and jointly deal with the Soviets. It is the lesser of two evils. I don’t know what His Majesty the Emperor and you gentlemen think of my suggestion.
