Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2109: Disputes within the Japanese Army (1)

When the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, Stalin was forced to transfer all his troops from the Far East back to Europe. For the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was on the verge of despair, it was tantamount to escaping from death. For Emperor Hirohito of Japan, it felt like

After suffering from impotence for several years, I suddenly found that my penis, at a certain moment, stood as straight as a gun. How could the feeling of excitement, relaxation and eagerness to try be described by the word "exhilarating"?

The character of Emperor Hirohito is the same as the general psychology of the Japanese people. He can only take advantage and cannot suffer losses. The Kwantung Army suffered such a big loss and was almost destroyed by the Soviets. If the Soviets were allowed to leave calmly,

Come on, can anyone swallow this breath?

First of all, His Majesty the Emperor himself was very unhappy. What's more, Zhukov, who did not know whether to live or die, fought against the Kwantung Army when the other two Soviet front armies had withdrawn. Isn't it too much of a lie?

Therefore, Emperor Hirohito destroyed the general staff of the base camp and sent an urgent telegram to General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. In addition to reporting the outbreak of the Soviet-German war and the Soviet army's eagerness to evacuate the Far East battlefield, he also ordered Nanjiro to

Immediately launch a counterattack against Zhukov's Far Eastern Front.

Emperor Hirohito still understood the current situation of the Kwantung Army very well. Although he was beaten to the point where blood was flowing from his nose and mouth, and he was only half-breathed, that was under the blow of more than 4 million superior troops of the Soviet Union's three front armies. If Zhukov was singled out

the Far East

The Kwantung Army is still capable of fighting. It is a fact that the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses, but it still has more than 800,000 troops left. What's more, the domestic Far East dispatched army and the North Korean resident army that came over from the Korean Peninsula.

Will be there soon.

Moreover, according to the judgment of the senior staff of the General Staff Headquarters at the base camp, the Soviet Far East Front Army, which is still maintaining an offensive posture against the Kwantung Army, will also withdraw within a short period of time. Is Zhukov doing this? It cannot be to cover the Soviet Union's Xing'anling Front Army.

Just retreat with the Lake Baikal Front and guard against the Imperial Army taking the opportunity to pursue you. The unanimous opinion of the staff is, "The Soviets will never get entangled! Eager to escape from the Far East is the real purpose!"

After reading the reports of his senior staff, Emperor Hirohito felt a vicious pleasure in his heart. It was much more comfortable than venting his lust on his concubines, "Humph! Stalin, you are what you are today. How rampant you were back then.

More than four million troops pressed down on the border. I almost lost more than one million Kwantung Army troops. Now, the Germans have taken action. You just panicked and ordered the troops to come back for reinforcements. How can you do such a cheap thing!"

"Want to leave? You have to ask me and the samurai of the Empire of Japan whether we agree!" Emperor Hirohito paced the hall with a happy face, immersed in the pleasure of revenge as if masturbating. This idea did not coincide with Tang Qiuli's.

Tang Qiuli also said something similar to this. The Soviet army, which was concerned about the Japanese and Tang Qiuli, would not have an easy life.

Next, the excited Emperor Hirohito immediately summoned a group of important civil and military ministers into the palace and held an imperial military meeting to discuss how to take advantage of the Soviet army's eagerness to withdraw from the Far East battlefield to exact revenge.

At the imperial military meeting, Japan's civil and military ministers had completely unanimous opinions on the opportunity to avenge the Soviets. However, when it came to specific military operations, they had very different opinions on how to carry out any action. Of course,

This kind of disagreement is mainly within the army system. Everyone has his own reason, and he is not afraid that the people in the navy system will watch the joke and argue so hard that they will foam at the mouth, blush in the face, and smoke in the mouth!

As for the naval system, if you don't want to get involved, you can't get involved. When discussing the army's operations, the navy was automatically ignored. The naval generals who participated in the meeting just had to listen. As long as the army's own affairs are not involved,

The interests of the navy and the navy generals were too lazy to mingle with these rude army generals, especially the Kwantung Army, the pride of the Japanese Army, which had just suffered a big loss at the hands of the Soviets at a sensitive time.

The guys in the Army are all red-eyed and like mad dogs, biting whoever they catch. Normally, everything the Navy and Navy say and sing are curses. What's more, now, it's better to say less, and it's better not to say anything.

The Imperial Army of Japan and the Navy are gloating over misfortunes, not to the point of laughing at the joke, but rather feeling like a rabbit dies and a fox grieves for its own kind. But if your good intentions are regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? Why bother?

Therefore, the senior officials of the Japanese navy were all sitting upright, with their lips tightly closed. They only used their erratic eyes to communicate their inner thoughts to each other, and their ears were as alert as radars, capturing every bit of information.

The differences in the Army system mainly focus on two aspects. To retaliate against the Soviets, that is for sure. If you don’t retaliate after suffering a loss, are you still a descendant of the Yamato nation? However, each has its own opinion on how to retaliate.

One group of views, represented by Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūaki, Chief of the Base Camp Operations Department, advocates an all-round attack on the retreating Soviet army. The specific tactics are that the Kwantung Army will hold back the Soviet Far East Front troops in the Far East.

Locally formed

The Far East Expeditionary Force, with twelve first-class divisions of more than 500,000 troops, is responsible for pursuing the retreating Soviet troops of the Xing'anling Front. The Korean Resident Army's ten first-class divisions, with more than 400,000 troops, are responsible for pursuing the retreating troops.

Troops of the Soviet Baikal Front.

The basis of Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūaki who proposed this strategy was that the Soviet army was eager to retreat because the Germans launched an all-out attack on the Soviet Union. The Soviet army's strength in Europe was seriously insufficient. Facing the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army,

The Soviet army could only passively resist, and would never dare to turn around and fight to the death with the Imperial Army again.

The most convincing thing about Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūaki was not this. He finally said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our headquarters operations department believes that this is an opportunity to weaken or even severely damage the Soviet military strength in the Far East. We

Don’t forget that the reason why Stalin mobilized a huge force of more than four million in the Far East was not only to target the Kwantung Army, but his larger plot was to invade Manchuria and even the entire Korean Peninsula!”

As soon as Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūsho said this, everyone was in an uproar. If Lieutenant General Shinno's inference was true, the largest and most resource-rich area outside the homeland that two generations of the Japanese Empire had worked hard to manage would be completely lost.

After cutting off the bloodline of the colonies, what else can the empire use to support the long-term Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific? Will it rely on local resources?

Are you kidding me? The tiny land on the mainland can support the current people, who are already living a tight life. Without the resources of the colonies in Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula, the empire would not have the ability to compete with Britain and the United States for supremacy in the Pacific battlefield.

Indochina, of course, is now in the hands of that China devil Tang Qiuli. This is a variable and is not included in the discussion of this imperial meeting.

The words of Lieutenant General Ryūaki Shinno were resounding, describing a terrible future prospect for the Japanese. All the important civil and military ministers could not help but shudder. They were not fools. They all thought to themselves, "If the Soviets repel the Germans,

after attack

, after a period of recuperation, will it come back and reignite the war in the Far East? With Stalin’s character, he will definitely do this. Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula are very attractive to the empire, and it was not the case for Stalin!”

While the Germans are leaving the Soviets struggling to cope, consuming a lot of the Soviets' military potential in the Far East is a way to avoid future troubles. Lieutenant General Ryūaki Shinno's analysis and impassioned words clearly indicate that

He persuaded most of the big bosses in the army system to speak in support of his opinions, but they were also frightened by Stalin's plan to raise troops in the Far East this time.

Some radical army generals even advocated suspending the offensive on the Australian battlefield, massing most of the local military forces, and fighting all the way to fight a national war with the Soviets, crossing the Ural Mountains, and in the European part of the Soviet Union.

If we join forces with the Germans, are the two sides allies anyway? When the time comes, will we be able to divide the interests of occupying the Soviet Union without taking advantage of the Japanese Empire?

This suggestion was very tempting, and Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but feel excited. He launched the Southwest Pacific War and the Far East War, with the purpose of seizing the two big pieces of meat he liked. If the national strength allowed, he would not want to be partial in any war, and now he

The problem is that there must be a trade-off. On the Australian battlefield, Ito Genzaburo's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force fought well and stabilized the Allied forces.

Occupying the Australian continent is only a matter of time. It seems that there is no need to invest too much military power. But in the Far East, if this guy Xinye really becomes a reality, it will be more painful for him than to cut out his flesh. With the help of the Germans, he will attack the Soviet Union.

It would be a good idea to use the opportunity of a big fight to exhaust the Soviet military power in the Far East. Emperor Hirohito was quite moved, but the matter was so important that it was difficult to make a decision at the moment.

Hearing that several army generals advocated suspending the offensive in the Australian battlefield, the naval generals became a little unable to sit still. Opening up the Southwest Pacific battlefield was the unanimous opinion of the naval system. Although most of the military forces used were the army, the navy was also involved.

On the Pacific battlefield, the task force of the Fifth General Yamamoto played the leading role. Didn't it completely cut off the connection between the United States and Australia?

Without the navy's combat operations, how can the army safely fight on the Australian continent? Therefore, when discussing merits and rewards after the war, the navy has to take a big piece of the pie, which involves the vital interests of its own faction, and

Is it necessary to use the navy to break into the Soviet Union?

Obviously there is no need for it, and warships cannot go to land to attack the younger and impatient naval generals who are ready to take action. This is intolerable. If you want to speak to refute the radical army generals, your army advocates invading the European part of the Soviet Union.

I have no objection to the territory, but don’t sacrifice the interests of the navy!
