Age of Conquest Reborn

His Majesty the Emperor was angry. Although he did not speak, the pressure of the superior was enough to make the ministers tremble with fear. Especially the fierce light emerging from His Majesty the Emperor's narrow eyes was so scorching that Menaiguang was trembling with fear.

His legs began to tremble involuntarily, and a chill ran down his spine. He knew that he had touched the Emperor's inverse scale, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The atmosphere in the hall was so depressing that people could not breathe. The ministers all secretly glanced at Emperor Hirohito's face. Next, it was time for the Wrath of Thunder. That guy Koichi Yoneuchi would be unlucky. Maybe the Minister of War would be...

High-power positions will soon be replaced, and some ambitious military generals are ready to make moves.

Emperor Hirohito really wanted to severely punish Koichi Mineuchi. The terms he proposed were untimely and extremely bold. He actually made the Kwantung Army spit out the fat that had already been eaten in his mouth. All the previous efforts and countless painstaking efforts had been achieved.

Everything will be lost, and all your work will be in vain. This is your own psychological bottom line that cannot be touched, and no one can do it!

But how to deal with the second-largest boss of the army was a waste of brains. While Emperor Hirohito was pondering, an aide walked up to Prince Zai Ren, the chief of general staff of the base camp, and whispered a few words. Zai Ren's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said

Emperor Hirohito said: "Your Majesty, the Kwantung Army has an urgent military situation report. Please give your Majesty's approval and I will deal with it. Regarding how to solve the crisis faced by the Kwantung Army, we will make a decision after learning the latest situation. It is not too late!

"

Emperor Hirohito nodded slightly, and Prince Zaihi hurriedly walked out of the hall. Only a group of civil and military ministers and His Majesty the Emperor were left waiting there, scratching their heads, and Koichi Minai, who looked like a wooden stake, standing blankly in front of everyone.

After a while, Prince Zaihi returned to the meeting hall with an ugly expression. Before Emperor Hirohito could ask, Zaihi said urgently: "Your Majesty, the General Staff has just received the second urgent letter from the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro.

telegraph!"

Emperor Hirohito's body trembled, and he stretched his neck. A bad premonition emerged in his heart, and he uttered the word "Nian!" dryly.

Prince Zai Ren read: "The General Staff of the base camp was transferred to His Majesty the Emperor for inspection. Our Kwantung Army troops were on the front line of the Xing'an Mountains. They were fiercely attacked by more than 4.5 million Soviet troops. By the time the telegram was sent, the Soviet troops were

Having broken through two of our lines of defense one after another, the Kwantung Army's defensive space has been continuously compressed. In addition, according to the intelligence we have, the Soviet Army, with approximately more than 500,000 troops, has already attacked Birobidzhan and Khabarov.

Sk attack."

"The Fifth Army and the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army defending the area temporarily blocked the Soviet army's continued advance after bloody battles. However, due to the huge disparity in strength, the Fifth Army suffered heavy casualties. The main force of the Kwantung Army dealt with the three Soviet armies.

The offensive was also under great pressure, and it was impossible to divide the troops to reinforce the Fifth Army. Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk fell. Just recently, please ask the General Staff to provide tactical guidance as soon as possible, otherwise, the Kwantung Army will be in danger!"

"Hiss——!" The big guys in Japan's military and political circles, including Emperor Hirohito, all gasped. The Kwantung Army has occupied the Far East for more than two years. These people know everything there.

Do you know what it will mean once Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk fall?

This means that the more than 1.8 million Kwantung Army troops will be cut off from their retreat by the Soviet army, locked up and beaten by the Soviets, and forced to compete with more than 4.5 million Soviet troops on the front line of the Waixing'an Mountains.

What would be the result of a life-and-death battle with huge disparity? Even His Majesty the Emperor, who is above us, all understand that the spirit of bushido that is not afraid of death cannot offset the disadvantage of military strength and the gap in equipment. This battle cannot be fought!

Once the more than 1.8 million samurai of the Japanese Empire are shattered in the Far East, Manchuria, which has been managed for nearly a generation, will be unsafe. Don't expect Stalin to stop after regaining the Far East. That Georgia

People's greed for territory is no worse than His Majesty the Emperor, or even worse. The Soviets will never miss such an opportunity!

Minaiguang was so anxious that he didn't care about the few shots he fired just now, which almost put him in danger. He shed tears and said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, the Kwantung Army is facing such a dangerous situation. It is time for Your Majesty to make a decision.

As long as the strength of the Kwantung Army is preserved, I swear that I will personally lead the Empire's warriors in the future and take back everything I have lost. Your Majesty, please do not hesitate any longer! Your Majesty——!"

Emperor Hirohito's face changed from livid to purple, then to sallow, and he suddenly roared angrily: "Who can tell me why the Soviets did not use all their strength to attack that damn China devil, but instead attacked the Kwantung Army? Who can

tell me!"

The minister could not answer this question, and even the scheming Prince Zai Ren remained silent. In the current Far East battlefield, the Soviet army has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield. With its absolutely superior force, how to fight and where they want to fight.

, the Soviets have the final say!

After roaring, and venting his inner unwillingness and evil fire, Emperor Hirohito slumped on the throne like a deflated rubber ball, and said feebly: "Zairen and Yonei Aiqing, you two are responsible for the details of the Kwantung Army's withdrawal to Manchuria.

I'm exhausted with this matter."

After saying that, Emperor Hirohito slowly left with the support of two attendants. From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the ministers again.

Looking at the lonely and frail figure of His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers felt unspeakably uncomfortable in their hearts. This was the biggest setback since the Empire of Japan had been conquering all over the world and sending troops overseas. Even His Majesty the Emperor had to bow to reality. Kanto

Whether the army can retreat to Manchuria unharmed under the siege of more than 4.5 million Soviet troops is still unknown.

Soviet Union, Moscow, Kremlin, in Stalin's office, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the Soviet General Staff, was reporting to Stalin on the war in the East.

"Comrade Stalin, our Far East Front, Transkhingan Mountains Front and Baikal Front have surrounded the Japanese Kwantung Army along the Transkhingan Mountains. In addition, the commander of the Baikal Front, General Gregariff, and more than half of the troops from the command post are attacking.

Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk can be captured in no more than two days, and the Kwantung Army's retreat route to Manchuria will be cut off by us."

Stalin's face was calm. All this was within his expectation. More than 4.5 million troops were dispatched, but they could not deal with the Japanese Kwantung Army of more than 1.8 million people. Their strength was more than twice that of the Japanese. There was no suspense in the war.

.

"Comrade Petroshilov, how is the resistance of the Japanese?" Stalin exhaled a puff of smoke and asked calmly.

Marshal Petroshilov replied: "Comrade Stalin, the Japanese resistance is quite tenacious, the fighting is extremely fierce, and the casualties we have paid are more than the Japanese. However, so far, the progress is still very smooth. Initially,

Battle plan completed!"

Stalin said casually and with some contempt: "It's just a trapped beast still fighting. No matter how stubborn the Japanese are, they can't escape the annihilation of the entire army. I order Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Kilganin, and Comrade Gregariff to make sure that the Japanese are defeated."

The Kwantung Army gathered together to annihilate the front line of the Waixing'an Mountains, clearing obstacles for us to march into Manchuria! By early to mid-April, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has occupied our Far East for two years, will no longer exist! This is an exciting news

information!"

Marshal Petroshilov immediately understood that Comrade Stalin had given a timetable to annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, no later than April 20. This was the deadline given by the leader, and there were still more than twenty

One day is enough.

Suddenly, Stalin frowned slightly and asked: "Comrade Petroshilov, what's going on with Vasilevsky? The attack on the Japanese went very smoothly. Why did the Outer Mongolian Front attack the Chinese

The attack by Tang Qiuli's troops has not been carried out for a long time, why?"

There was great dissatisfaction in Stalin's tone. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Vasilevsky's failure to take action even though he had more than one million troops. Perhaps, there was also a hint of disappointment.

In fact, after the other three fronts of the Soviet Army launched a thunderous attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army, Marshal Petroshilov was also puzzled by General Vasilevsky's delay in moving, and specifically sent a telegram to inquire about this matter.

thing.

General Vasilevsky's answer was somewhat inexplicable, "General Staff, our Outer Mongolia Front has not completed its campaign deployment so far. In addition, the specific location of Tang Qiuli's main force is still under reconnaissance.

I suspect that the independent division troops on the front line of Saiyinshanda are still suspected soldiers of Tang Qiuli. Based on my experience in fighting with that cunning Chinese, he will not blatantly expose the main force to our sight."

"Therefore, it is not advisable to launch an attack easily without fully preparing and determining the specific location of Tang Qiuli's main force. Firstly, to ensure the complete annihilation of Chinese forces in Outer Mongolia, and secondly, to avoid unnecessary losses to the troops.

, I hope Comrade Chief of General Staff will report my opinions to Comrade Stalin!"

Marshal Petroshilov was a little dissatisfied with this telegram from the bottom of his heart. He felt that after two battles in the Tannu Mountains and Minusinsk, Vasilevsky, who had more than 1.5 million troops, was defeated.

Tang Qiuli was afraid of the fight and was a little afraid of his hands and feet.

However, even if he is the chief of general staff, he cannot interfere in the specific battle deployment of the frontline commander. Furthermore, if he intervenes, if the Outer Mongolia Front Army suffers another big loss like Minusinsk, he will be held responsible.

Whose?

Was it Vasilevsky or himself? The Chinese's methods were truly frightening. Now that Comrade Stalin asked, Marshal Petroshilov certainly did not dare to hide it.
