Age of Conquest Reborn

The emergency telegram from the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, was like a heavy bomb. The first person to see the telegram was Prince Zain, the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, who was stunned, dizzy, and then panicked. The Soviet army launched an attack on the Kwantung Army.

The fierce attack launched by the Japanese army was too sudden. The war broke out before Japan was fully prepared.

According to the previous imperial meeting held by Emperor Hirohito, the strategy of Prince Zaihito, Chief of the General Staff of the base camp, was to sit back and watch the tigers fight, or in other words, to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and wait until the Soviets and the Chinese were both injured in the fight before taking action.

, strive for the greatest benefit!

Because, no matter from which aspect of analysis and judgment, the main offensive targets of the Soviet army are Tang Qiuli's independent division troops in Outer Mongolia and the Chita area in the Far East. The Japanese also judged that based on the consistent behavior of that China devil Tang Qiuli

In this way, the Soviet army will have a bloody fight with the independent division troops in Outer Mongolia. No matter which side wins, it will be beneficial to the Japanese.

Judging from the deployment situation of the Soviet army, the targets to be dealt with by the Outer Mongolia Front Army and the Baikal Front Army are undoubtedly Tang Qiuli's elite troops directly under the corps. Although the Outer Xing'anling Front Army poses a sufficient threat to the Kwantung Army, in the Soviet Union

Before they attack the Kwantung Army, they must deal with another strong force of the Independent Division that has occupied the Chita front line, the East Point Force of Tang Qiuli's main military assistant and deputy division commander Liu Tiehan.

Invisibly, Tang Qiuli's troops became the flank protection of the Kwantung Army. This was probably something that the Chinese devil never expected. The Japanese were hiding in nooks and crannies for fun, and the Soviets and Chinese were both

He is an enemy of the Japanese Empire. One enemy was defeated by another enemy. The remaining enemy is also covered with bruises. When the time comes, Japan will take action to kill him while he is sick, and the harvest will be maximized.

However, according to the Japanese's understanding of Tang Qiuli, although the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in strength, it is not easy to quickly eliminate the independent division troops. The war will be long-term, so Japan

The empire had plenty of time to make arrangements calmly, and even when the Soviet army was gradually weakening, it could unite with Tang Qiuli, the empire's mortal enemy, to jointly attack the Soviets and carve up all the territory in the east of the Soviet Union.

Or, unite with the Soviets, not hesitate to spit out the territory of the Soviet Far East that is in their mouths, and join forces to kill the most elite troops of Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, and avoid future troubles. Both sides can benefit from it.

The Japanese are ready to sit back and enjoy their success.

The war started as the Japanese expected, but then the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli made a series of dazzling moves, defeating the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army with a strength of 1.6 million, and then quickly withdrew southward and decisively gave up.

Kulun, the capital of Outer Mongolia, avoided a head-on collision with the Soviet army. The Soviets were not injured, and Tang Qiuli was not seriously injured. As the Japanese expected, the Soviet army and the independent division troops had a big shopping spree in Outer Mongolia.

did not appear.

That Stalin, I don’t know if he was just out of his mind or took the wrong medicine. He left the damned Chinese troops untouched, but used most of his troops to attack the Kwantung Army. The Japanese made a miscalculation and used them to strengthen the Kwantung Army.

The Far East Expeditionary Force, which has a large number of troops in the Far East, was not established quickly and even somewhat carelessly.

As a result, the Kwantung Army was attacked from three directions, flanked by front and rear, and fell into an extremely dangerous situation, with no troops to send to the mainland!

After reading the anxious telegram from General Nanjiro sent by Prince Zaihito, the chief of general staff of the base camp, Emperor Hirohito sat down on the throne, his eyes straight, his face pale, his hands and lips trembling as if they were apoplectic, and he spoke for a long time.

They were speechless, and the attendants felt frightened in their hearts, fearing that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly die!

Prince Zai Ren is so anxious. Now when we, the supreme leader of the Empire of Japan, need you to make decisions and provide reassurance, why do you act so virtuous?

"Your Majesty, the Kwantung Army is in danger of being encircled by the Soviet army at all times. We must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. I suggest that your Majesty immediately convene a military meeting to discuss countermeasures together!"

The prince didn't care about the bearish appearance of the emperor's elder brother, and made urgent suggestions.

Emperor Hirohito woke up from a dream and realized that his gaffe had been seen by Zai Ren. He felt angry but could not control it, "Zai Ren, according to your instructions, I will immediately summon the relevant ministers and convene a military meeting before the imperial court!" Emperor Hirohito restrained himself a little.

With a dazed mind, he forced himself to speak calmly.

After receiving the edict from His Majesty the Emperor, Japan's civil and military ministers rushed to the palace one after another as if their buttocks were on fire. After listening to this telegram, they all looked at each other in shock, their eyes widened, and a mist of sadness enveloped them.

In the main hall of the royal palace.

Emperor Hirohito coughed and said: "My dear friends, I have heard the telegram. Are there any good measures that can be put forward to solve the crisis facing the Kwantung Army?"

The ministers all bowed their heads and said nothing. The current situation of the Kwantung Army seemed to be a deadlock. It was very simple to break the siege. Send enough troops to the Far East to fight head-on with the Soviets and break the Soviet three-way attack. But

The crux of the problem is here, there are no troops in the country to send.

Most of the newly formed Far East Expeditionary Forces are still on paper. Currently, the only ones that can be assembled and formed into combat effectiveness are only five infantry divisions with more than 100,000 troops to rescue the Kwantung Army. Just kidding.

, the Soviet army has more than 4.5 million people. Once these hundreds of thousands of troops enter the Far East, they will be drowned by more than 4.5 million Soviet soldiers, leaving no bones or dregs left.

Apart from this, there is no other way. Of course, there is still a way to let the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army fight to the death. That is to order the Kwantung Army to fight to the death with the Soviet Army until they are exhausted, and buy enough time to reach the end of the battle.

At that time, the Far East Expeditionary Force may have been formed, and it is not impossible to defeat the Soviet army when it goes to the battlefield.

But who dares to say this? Once the Kwantung Army is exhausted and the Far East Expeditionary Force fails to defeat the Soviet army, the occupied Far East region will be forced to give up. Our Majesty the Emperor has not yet eaten the fat in his mouth.

Meat, the habit of spitting it out, is forced to spit it out. By then, the person who came up with the idea will definitely be unable to eat and walk around, and will be in bad luck. No one can bear the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the Emperor!

The Minister of War, General Miuchi Minai, had to stand up and speak. Another military giant, Prince Zain, was rolling his eyes around and thinking hard. No one knew that His Royal Highness, who was full of evil ideas, was holding something back in his stomach.

What is the plan? The Chief of General Staff did not speak. As the Minister of Army, he had to speak. The Kwantung Army was the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army and there was no room for failure.

As soon as Minai took a few steps forward, before he could speak, he heard His Majesty the Emperor say with great joy: "My dear Minai, at critical moments, I still love you to step forward and help me solve my problems. If you have any good ideas, just say it.

I will take the responsibility together!”

Koichi Minai smiled bitterly in his heart, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you think too highly of me, so what good idea do you have? Your head is like a pot of porridge. The Kwantung Army is the heart and soul of the army. If there is the best solution, I will wait until now.

?”

But once His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, he would definitely not be able to pass the test without paying attention. Therefore, Minai Guangyi gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that I would like to consider for Your Majesty. At present, the Kwantung Army's

extreme situation

It was extremely dangerous. The Soviet army dispatched more than 4.5 million troops, which was more than double the strength of the Kwantung Army.

."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Kwantung Army abandon the Far East and withdraw to Manchuria immediately. Otherwise, once the Soviet army detaches part of its forces and captures Khabarovsk and cuts off its retreat, the Kwantung Army will be unable to retreat even if it wants to. Waiting for the Kwantung Army

fate

, is to fight to the death, and I believe that this is the most undesirable method. The Kwantung Army is the foundation of our Japanese Empire in Manchuria. If there is any failure, Manchuria will not be protected. Please issue an order as soon as possible, and the Kwantung Army will comply with the order.

The empire cannot afford to lose!"

What Koichi Minai said was extremely bold. Although it was the best solution, it touched His Majesty the Emperor's inverse scales. It was impossible for the fat in his mouth to be vomited out. This was His Majesty the Emperor's.

taboo.

He sent troops to China, launched the July 7th Incident, occupied the Indochina Peninsula, and did not hesitate to fight Britain and the United States in the Southwest Pacific, including the Far East of the current Soviet Union. His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate to exhaust Japan's national power. What is the purpose of using troops everywhere? Isn't it all for the sake of the Great War?

Did the Japanese Empire expand its overseas territories?

The Japanese military and political ministers present, in addition to veterans in the political arena, are also senior generals. Their vision and knowledge are not simple. They are all old turtles who are used to seeing the wind and waves. How could they not know that Koichi Yoneuchi's suggestion?

This is the only way to protect the Kwantung Army from being killed by the Soviet army, but if no one takes it seriously and rushes to do the thing of losing their heads, isn't it because their heads are squeezed by the door?

As for the navy, let alone the factions. There are already deep factional conflicts and the two factions are feuding. As long as the navy intervenes in the army's affairs, no matter whether it is good or bad, the army guys must be extremely vigilant.

, good intentions can be regarded as donkey liver and lungs, not to mention, it also involves His Majesty the Emperor's rebellion. If it is good, the Army will benefit, but if it is bad, not only will His Majesty the Emperor be angry, but the Army will also add insult to injury, so why bother!

All the Japanese military and political ministers looked at Koichi Yoneuchi who dared to take the lead with complicated eyes. Of course, there were many who were gloating about his misfortune. Even the Chief of General Staff, Prince Zain, was rolling his eyes.

Paying attention to the development of this situation, perhaps thinking about how to save Koichi Mineuchi in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Sure enough, Emperor Hirohito's face darkened, like the dark clouds before the storm, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts.
