Age of Conquest Reborn

General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, Minister of the Army of the Japanese Army, saw that at the imperial military meeting convened by Emperor Hirohito, he was hit so hard by his old rival, Prince Zaihito, Chief of General Staff, that he was so numb that he could not even catch Zaihi's moves!

Koichi Mineuchi's idea of ​​quickly withdrawing the Kwantung Army to Manchuria was based on the premise that the Soviet army in the Far East was eager to withdraw and face the German army. However, as Prince Zain said, the three Soviet front troops

, withdrew two of them, leaving Zhukov’s Far Eastern Front Army, the most difficult to deal with, still pestering the Kwantung Army and beating them hard. It was not easy to withdraw. It was not for the Soviets to chase the Kwantung Army behind and chase them all the way.

situation?

Therefore, Minai Koichi was still unable to refute Zai Ren's words. Maybe he had suffered too many blows and had become numb. Minai Koichi sat upright with a rigid face, but he had returned to normal. Only some generals close to him,

Only then did you notice that His Excellency the General's eyes were a little wandering and scattered. If you look carefully, your pupils tended to not focus.

Zai Ren's speech continued, "The current war situation in the Far East is not a question of whether we let the Soviet troops withdraw, but a question of the Soviet army not giving up at all on severely damaging the Kwantung Army. Why didn't Zhukov's troops withdraw together?

Very illustrative

The problem is not that Zhukov's troops continue to stay in the Far East, but that Zhukov does not want to give up the opportunity. After severely damaging or annihilating the Kwantung Army, Zhukov's troops will definitely withdraw, otherwise Stalin will not tolerate him.

!”

The Japanese civil and military ministers present, including Emperor Hirohito, were secretly glad that the Kwantung Army had escaped because the Soviet army was busy retreating, but they were made nervous and uneasy by Zai Ren's words. According to

According to Prince Zai Ren, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front intends to eat the Kwantung Army and then return to the European direction of the Soviet Union. So is the situation of the Kwantung Army still extremely dangerous?

After the Kwantung Army was attacked by the superior Soviet army, it suffered heavy casualties and the force was reduced by more than two-thirds. How could it be the opponent of the Soviet Far East Front? What should we do? Emperor Hirohito looked at Zai Ren with expectation.

Prince, he knew that there must be a solution to this problem raised by his scheming brother.

"Alas! I was still thanking Amaterasu for the Kwantung Army escaping the disaster. It turned out that it was all for nothing! Amaterasu also deceived me?" Emperor Hirohito thought with displeasure. "Zairin, you

Is there any reliable solution? You might as well tell me for your reference!" He couldn't help but urged anxiously.

"The Emperor, regardless of his majesty, couldn't help but ask questions. He must be extremely anxious!" Zai Ren thought to himself, no longer pretending to be profound. "Under the current situation on the Far East battlefield, in order to ensure that the Kwantung Army is not attacked by Zhukov's

The Far East Front suffered heavy losses and did not allow the Soviets to take advantage before retreating unscathed. Brother Chen has a way!"

"Finally, it's the most critical moment. It's time to shake out the medicine from Prince Zai Ren's gourd." The top officials of Japan's high-level officials perked up, their ears twitching like radar, and they stared at Zai Ren intently.

Prince, "Zairen, tell me what you can do, don't be hesitant!" Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but urge.

Prince Zai Ren said: “After receiving the information about the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, my brother and the relevant departments of the General Staff immediately formulated a combat plan against the Soviet troops who were eager to evacuate. The specific content was that for the Soviet troops who had withdrawn early,

You can ignore the Xing'anling Front and the Baikal Front outside the army, let alone send troops to follow and pursue them, and let the Soviet army retreat!"

"However, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army, which was fighting a fierce battle with the Kwantung Army, presented an opportunity to the empire. At present, my brother's plan is to send the Far East Expeditionary Army and the Korean Resident Army troops out of the Manchurian border and into the Far East.

Immediately move toward the Burya Mountains and Kukan Mountains in the Far East."

"Guard, hang up the military map of the Far East!" Zai Ren ordered loudly. A military map of the Far East was hung in front of Emperor Hirohito and his ministers. On the map, the Japanese army, the Soviet army, including those in Red Army

Liu Tiehan's troops on the front line of the tower were all in various situations before their eyes. The red line, the blue line, and the green line were crisscrossed and tangled together like endless threads, making it dizzying to see.

Zai Ren pointed at the map and said: "The battle between the Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front took place in the plains between the Burya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains. With the remaining combat power in front of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov wanted to

Winning victory will not happen overnight. I predict that the battle will last until early May, which means that Zhukov's troops will not retreat before early May!"

Including Emperor Hirohito, all the Japanese civil and military ministers still don't quite understand that Zhukov's troops are clinging to the Kwantung Army. No matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing. However, Prince Zain said that it was an opportunity, and he was confused.

Already?

Everyone looked at Zai Ren, and Prince Zai Ren calmly continued: "Even if the Kwantung Army is defeated or completely annihilated, Zhukov does not dare to retreat. He is afraid that the Kwantung Army will turn around and pursue him. This is also his unit, covering it."

The root cause of the other two Soviet armies. Therefore, Zhukov made a fatal mistake and sent the opportunity to the empire!"

"Your Majesty, all armies, please see that the two troops of the Far East Expedition Army and the Korean Resident Army took advantage of the fierce battle between Zhukov and the Kwantung Army to hide their whereabouts and assemble at the fastest speed on the two sides of the Burya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains.

Then, with the Kwantung Army troops, they formed an encirclement of Zhukov's troops, and then completely annihilated this Soviet army!"

A group of Japanese civil and military ministers had their eyes opened today. After the battle, they were amazed and even felt a little incredible. This Prince Zai Ren is not only a master of conspiracy and conspiracy, but also a good strategist. His ideas are bold enough.

It was shocking to completely annihilate nearly two million troops on one Soviet front!

Although many generals were skeptical about Prince Zai Ren's plan and found it a bit strange, they also made some sense from it, so they put their doubts aside and waited for Prince Zai Ren's next words.

Prince Zai Ren saw the doubtful looks from everyone, and said confidently: "Don't be surprised, don't find it incredible. The Kwantung Army, the Far East Expedition Army, and the Korean Resident Army together have more than one hundred troops.

There are more than 800,000 people, which is definitely more than Zhukov's Far East Army. Please consider carefully. The brave and capable Kwantung Army suffered heavy casualties. So, what about the Soviet Far East Army, which fought fiercely with the Kwantung Army for more than ten days?

?”

"It must be that the strength of the troops has been greatly reduced. Is it still the original lineup? It is definitely not. Don't forget that after a long battle, the Soviet soldiers are exhausted, have lost their energy, and have insufficient ammunition. As for the empire, the Far East Expeditionary Force and the Korean Residents

Tunjun, yes

The two elite troops have just arrived on the battlefield and are at their peak. It is not impossible for our elite divisions of the Empire of Japan to completely annihilate the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army while facing off against the tired divisions of the Soviet Army.

There is a huge chance of winning!”

"From the perspective of the military situation in the Far East, the Soviet Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army retreated first. They are more than five days away from Zhukov's Far East Front Army. The Soviet Far East Front Army has become a lone force, unlike our Imperial Army.

Rather than chasing the retreating Soviet troops and conducting harassing attacks with little effect, it would be better to seize Zhukov's troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Taking a step back, even if Zhukov's troops cannot be completely wiped out, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Soviet army. Not only will the Kwantung Army be relieved of the siege, but it will also deal a serious blow to the Soviet army. No one can do it after causing losses to the Imperial Army.

, and even Zhukov can't escape unscathed!"

"In the ancient Chinese art of war, there is a saying that is very correct - 'It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them!' Zhukov is the isolated finger among millions of Soviet troops. Therefore, this time the Imperial Army

The military operation in the Far East is called the 'Finger Cutoff Plan!' with the operational purpose of encircling and annihilating Zhukov's Far Eastern Front!"

"The time, place and people are favorable, and our Empire of Japan has it all. If this good opportunity is lost because of some people's short-sighted ideas, it will cause endless troubles for the empire. Who can guarantee that Zhukov will not return to the Far East and continue to fight with

When the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire fights, I believe you all have some knowledge of this man's military commanding ability, and he can be said to be a formidable enemy of the generals of our Empire."

"Therefore, this battle must be fought! As long as the plan is right, the blood of more than a million Soviet soldiers will dye the land of the Far East red. I can already smell the strong smell of blood!" In the last few words, Prince Zai Ren was filled with murderous intent.

Having said that, this is the end of a big article about the war situation in the Far East. Zai Ren has a big appetite and wants to devour Zhukov's more than one million troops in one go.

Zai Ren gave a vivid military and political lesson to all the Japanese civil and military ministers. Compared with the previous policies of Yoneuchi Koichi, they were a few blocks behind. Whether it was military operations or other aspects, Yoneuchi Kōichi's

The rules and regulations are not only conservative, but also suspected of fearing the enemy.

Emperor Hirohito and a group of Japanese civil and military ministers were all shocked by Prince Zaihito's bold idea. After a few minutes of silence, "Bang, - bang!" Lonely applause rang out in the silent hall, Hirohito

The emperor raised his skinny hands and was the first to applaud, as if he was awakened. Then, a storm of applause almost knocked over the roof of the palace.

Japan's civil and military ministers admired the brilliant prospects painted by Prince Zain. In an atmosphere that was so fanatical that they were about to boil over, Koichi Mineuchi, who was humiliated and was slapped in the face by Zain in public, had a twinkling look in his eyes.

Decline, apparently, and what did he find?
