Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2244: Prince Zairen's Pressure (1)

Since the plan to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Far East Front went bankrupt and nearly two million Japanese troops fled from the Far East battlefield, Prince Zain, as the commander-in-chief responsible for the specific implementation of the entire Far East campaign plan, has been under tremendous pressure. Regarding his role in Japan

The prestige and reputation of the military community have been dealt a heavy blow!

The main pressure came from the mainland, first of all from his own brother, the Emperor. Shortly after the three battle groups withdrew in haste south from the Far East battlefield, Emperor Hirohito sent a telegram to Zai Ren, although there was not much criticism in the telegram.

Prince Zai Ren also understands his situation, but the most important thing is these words

, "I learned that your specific implementation of the Far East Campaign plan did not achieve the expected results. On the contrary, the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses. I am deeply disappointed about this. Now, the country is very concerned about the results of the Far East Campaign.

Pay attention, I hope you will take care of yourself and give the cabinet a reasonable explanation!"

Prince Zai Ren's heart was shattered at that time. The emperor had disappointed him, which frightened Zai Ren. He knew that without the support of the emperor, he was in a battle with various factions in the military.

It is impossible to gain the upper hand. If the Emperor is very disappointed with him, then his greatest support and backing will be lost in an instant. Every time he thinks of this, Prince Zai Ren breaks into a cold sweat on his forehead.

Another point, the Emperor is reminding himself that the big guys in the domestic military and political circles are worried about the Far Eastern War that has reached such a disgraced level. You'd better find a reasonable reason to block everyone.

mouth, otherwise, I can't help you.

Without activating his connections at home, Prince Zai Ren could figure out with the back of his head that the so-called "very concerned about the results of the Far East Campaign!" could not be someone else. It could only be someone who is dead but not dead.

The old guy Koichi Mineuchi's failure in the Far East campaign just gave Koichi Mineuchi the facts and reasons to attack. Comparing the two, Koichi Mineuchi's original strategy was the safest.

And Zai Ren saw a deeper meaning from the telegram from the Emperor. Not even the Emperor could withstand this wave of attacks on him, otherwise he would not be able to give a reasonable explanation to the cabinet.

Cabinet? The cabinet is nothing! It is just a tool for Emperor Hirohito to achieve his own goals. Now, he wants a reasonable explanation from the cabinet. It can be seen that there is an opposition force against him in the country, and

.Even my own brother, the Emperor, cannot suppress him forcefully.

Under the tremendous pressure, Prince Zai Ren lost his usual composure and his temper became extremely violent. The senior staff officers of the Far East Campaign Headquarters were often scolded like a dog-blood spray, and those who were even more unlucky were like Xiang Chutian.

Colonel Aoki, who provided intelligence, would also be scolded by several loud mouths. In the entire Far East Campaign Headquarters, no one was scolded or beaten. Probably the only one was the new chief of staff, Major General Yamada.

To be fair, Prince Zai Ren felt that he was very aggrieved and died unjustly. The result of the Far East Campaign was deemed a failure. He was unconvinced. In a sense, the Soviet army completely evacuated the Far East region. This was Great Japan.

Isn't the victory of the empire nothing more than the failure to completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Front?

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, it would be a draw with the Soviet army at most. How can we talk about failure?

Prince Zai Ren regretted it very much. At the imperial military meeting, he should not have said too much. He had gone too far. He wanted to completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Front and fully occupy the Far East. If he only talked about the latter, there would be very little room left now.

Now that I'm older, I can confidently tell those guys who are fanning the flames and want to knock me over, whether the Imperial Japanese Army has occupied the Far East?

Just yesterday, I received a telegram from the base camp, asking Prince Zai Ren to settle down the troops in the Far East as soon as possible, return to the mainland, and accept the cabinet's questioning on the reasons for the failure of the Far East Campaign. In other words, let himself return to Tokyo.

Faced with the opposition factions that Tumo Xingzi can drown himself in, he castigates with ill intentions!

Prince Zai Ren is ten thousand unwilling to return to Tokyo. Moreover, he also knows very well that once he goes back, he will not have a few months to get rid of the entanglement of the opposition factions and cannot return to Khabarovsk from Tokyo. And now in the Far East,

In the vacancy after the withdrawal of the Soviet troops, will the China devil with ulterior motives have any influence on the Far East?

Prince Zai Ren had to prepare for all this in advance. If the independent division troops really intended to get involved in the Far East, then there would be another fierce battle. The Soviet army withdrew, and the Chinese devil's troops were the imperial army.

The next opponent that I will face is a myriad of affairs waiting for me to deal with. How can I have so much leisure and time to argue with the politicians in Tokyo?

Therefore, Prince Zain racked his brains, discussed with Chief of Staff Yamada for several days, and personally sent a long telegram to the Emperor. The content of the telegram, in addition to explaining his thoughts on the future of the Far East,

In addition, he also specifically emphasized, "Currently, with the withdrawal of all Soviet troops, the Far East has temporarily become a blank area. My brother is worried that it will inevitably attract the covetous attention of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China!"

"My brother boldly believes that our Imperial Japanese Army will inevitably engage in a war with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops in the Far East for control of the Far East. I am afraid that the scale of the war will be greater than the previous battle with the Soviet Army.

A duel, and the China Devil is ruthless, greedy and cunning. He is indeed a powerful enemy of the Japanese Empire. If you are not careful, the empire's troops in the Far East will fall into a situation of irreversible danger!"

"For this reason, my brother is worried day and night. Before the intention of the independent division troops is determined, the situation in the Far East is still tense and war is about to break out. It is about to become stormy. At this moment, my brother is really unable to escape and return to the homeland.

Nor do you dare to abandon the empire’s nearly two million troops in the Far East and explain to the cabinet for the sake of your own reputation! What’s more, I think that this is the fact, so why do I need to explain?”

"Brother Rong Chen will properly deploy the Imperial Army's troops in the Far East and firmly control the Far East. After making all preparations for war with the China Independent Division to compete for control of the Far East, he will return to the homeland and report to the cabinet.

A reasonable explanation! At that time, no matter what the result is, I will accept it calmly! I will go to the court in tears and shed blood!"

This telegram from Zai Ren appears to be very sincere, and every word is spoken from the bottom of his heart. It also shows that for the benefit of the Empire of Japan, he did not hesitate to own his personal reputation, and also secretly told Emperor Hirohito that he did not want to

It’s a waste of time and energy to argue with those people for the sake of face and reputation. What’s more, it is mixed with personal grudges and intrigues between factions. Can you explain it clearly in a short while?

Zai Ren is a very smart guy. He clearly knows that because of his performance in the Far East Campaign, he has directly disgraced the royal family. The Emperor has plans to change his generals. At this juncture, he will fight with the Emperor again.

careless

Look, let's play some nonsense. It won't take tomorrow. As soon as the edict calling me back to Tokyo comes, I will fly to Khabarovsk. By then, I will have to leave if I don't want to. What I have to do now is to protect the Far East first.

The position of commander-in-chief of the campaign.

Only in this position can we take the initiative in handling military affairs in the Far East. Then, in Xu Tuzhi, we can change the passive situation. If we lose face there, we can pick it up right there. Prince Zai Ren still has this confidence.

What's more, regaining face is not too difficult under the current situation. After all, the troops of the Independent Division are still far away from Chita to Irkutsk, beyond reach!

Sure enough, a sincere telegram touched the heart of Emperor Hirohito. In fact, Emperor Hirohito himself did not want to see his younger brother fall down and be unable to get up on the battlefield in the Far East. If that were the case, his face would also be disfigured.

Wu Guang, after all, is the younger brother of a mother. Zai Ren is disgraced, and he cannot take advantage of it. If he uses the authority of the emperor to suppress the emotions of the military and political leaders, it is not impossible!

The key is that Emperor Hirohito hates Zai Ren, and he also wants to knock his younger brother, who has been a little complacent recently. This guy seems to be a little uneasy after taking the empire's military command in the Far East.

Oh, let him know that everything he has today is thanks to someone. That's why he got that telegram that was not harsh but could be understood by Zai Ren.

Now, my brother has completely surrendered, and his ability is still certain. In Emperor Hirohito's opinion, the final result of the Far East Battle is not as bad as what Koichi Minai and others clamored for. All Soviet troops have withdrawn from the Far East.

Is it true that the Soviet Far East Front Army suffered heavy losses? Is it true that although the Imperial Japanese Army also suffered heavy losses, the losses were still at an acceptable level? How can there be no casualties in a war?

However, Emperor Hirohito would not question the ministers headed by Yoneuchi Koichi face to face. If he did so, he would be openly protecting his younger brother, which would chill the hearts of all the ministers. The way of an emperor does not allow him to do that.

!

Based on the above complex psychology, Emperor Hirohito agreed to Prince Zaihi’s request without any embarrassment, and at the end of the telegram, he told Prince Zaihi, “Think foresight and plan ahead, and under the huge domestic pressure, we have not yet

Forget about planning the future war situation in the Far East, I am very pleased with what you have done, and I can also persuade the ministers!"

"If we want to get rid of the current passive situation, we can only use the Imperial Army of Japan to completely occupy the Far East and ensure that no losses are lost. Then we can reverse the passive situation in the face of questioning from high-level officials in the country.

, you can still serve as the commander of the Far East Campaign Headquarters and plan all matters in the Far East for me with all your heart, and no more mistakes will be allowed!"

After reading the reply from the Emperor, Prince Zain was so moved that he burst into tears!
