Age of Conquest Reborn

The two giants of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Commander-in-Chief General Minamijiro, and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, discussed issues that were related to the life and death of the Kwantung Army and the fate of Manchuria. They had to rack their brains and work hard.

Thoughtful and thoughtful.

Especially when facing the unfavorable situation of losing the first battle at Lushunkou on the Liaodong Peninsula and destroying all the two main divisions of the Seventh Army, one careless move and the originally passive battle situation will become even more uncontrollable.

It was General Nanjiro who broke the silence and said: "Matsuda-kun, regarding the issue of troop mobilization and strengthening the heavy equipment of the Liaozhong garrison, you should be responsible for the specific implementation according to what we just discussed. I am really exhausted!"

This leader of the Kwantung Army, who thought he was extremely powerful and energetic, and had dominated the Northeast and Far East for many years, finally showed signs of exhaustion after the Seventh Army was brutally destroyed.

Hearing the weak words of the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff Matsuda moved his lips a few times. He wanted to say some words of comfort, but didn't know where to start, so he bowed deeply and said: "Commander-in-Chief, please take care of yourself."

, at this moment,

The safety of the Kwantung Army's one million soldiers and the fate of Manchuria all depend on you. Please rest peacefully for a few days. I will not bother you with the daily detailed affairs of the headquarters. Regarding the situation on the battlefield in the Liaodong Peninsula, I will keep you informed at any time.

Report to you!"

General Nanjiro smiled and nodded, acknowledging the kindness of his chief of staff, "Matsuda-kun, there is one more thing that needs to be done immediately. Report the news that the Seventh Army has been destroyed in the Liaodong Peninsula to the headquarters and the general headquarters.

General Staff, let those bureaucrats know,

The war situation in Manchuria has reached such a critical juncture, can you say it - it might as well be more serious, otherwise, it will not arouse domestic vigilance! Special mention should be made of the new bombs used by the bomber unit of the Independent Division! As for the shattered bodies of all members of the Seventh Army

The reasons can be explained simply!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda quickly recorded what the Commander-in-Chief meant in his notebook, and then asked: "Commander-in-Chief, do you have any other instructions?" Seeing General Nanjiro shaking his head silently, he turned around and asked for it.

He left. But he was stopped by General Nanjiro, "Matsuda-kun, please stay!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda turned around in surprise and asked: "Commander-in-Chief, do you have any other instructions?"

When General Nanjiro opened his mouth, he was not talking about the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula. He was talking about another question, "When did your staff receive Matsuda-kun and Yokoyama-kun's telegram?"

Chief of Staff Matsuda thought for a moment and replied: "After five o'clock this afternoon!"

General Nanjiro suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the signature of the telegram in his hand carefully, "Eight—Gah! The time when Mr. Yokoyama sent the telegram was around 11 noon today. Why did the telegram come after more than six hours?

Just delivered it to me? Well, Matsuda-kun, can your staff explain the reason?" He suddenly gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, and then asked the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda, in an aggressive tone.

If it hadn't been for the physical discomfort caused by the spit of blood he just sprayed, he would definitely express his dissatisfaction with a more violent attitude than now. It's no wonder that General Nanjiro was angry. When Yoshihiko Yokoyama died for his country, he certainly wouldn't

It was past around 12 noon today, that is to say, it was not until more than five hours later that the telegram was delivered to him by the chief of staff of the body. Under the rapidly changing situation of the Liaodong Peninsula war situation, more than five hours was enough for him to take action.

Corresponding countermeasures!

And these more than five hours of precious time were wasted in the hands of the bastards in the staff department. If he had issued the order five hours ago, the troops on the third line of defense would have had a lot more time to prepare.

, Of course, General Nanjiro did not believe that Chief of Staff Matsuda, who had followed him for many years, would be so slack and delay military aircraft. The problem must lie with other departments of the staff!

Chief of Staff Matsuda's face turned pale all of a sudden. When he sent the telegram just now, he was so shocked by the bad news that he didn't even notice that when Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yoshihiko signed the telegram, General Nanjiro said this

, as a veteran chief of staff, he knew the seriousness of the problem. At this critical moment of crisis on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, how much could be done in more than five hours?

He didn't blame General Nanjiro for making a fuss out of a molehill. All the messages between various units were in the control of his subordinate departments. As the chief of staff, he could not absolve himself of the blame for such a serious problem, so he turned pale and deeply

He bent down and said sadly: "Commander-in-Chief, you have neglected your humble duty. Please punish me!"

General Nanjiro took a long breath and seemed to be trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that he could no longer be furious, otherwise, his life would be in danger. "Matsuda-kun, I know this is not your fault, call me immediately."

Go check it out, I want to know the reason!"

In Nanjiro's office, Chief of Staff Matsuda picked up the phone and called the telecommunications office. He clarified the matter in a few words. After putting down the phone, he said to General Nanjiro: "Commander-in-Chief, it's clear.

A lieutenant colonel officer on duty in the Telecommunications Department got drunk at noon and suppressed the telegrams from the Seventh Army among irrelevant messages. Later, another officer who took over discovered this while sorting out the documents.

A very important telegram!"

"He didn't dare to neglect, so he translated the telegram and sent it directly to my office. However, the time was already after five o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Baga! The disgrace and scum of the imperial officer!" General Nanjiro cursed in a low voice with his eyes blazing. He felt that his throat was a little salty, so he hurriedly picked up the water glass, drank a few big sips, and pressed down.

The blood was churning under his breath, and his tone was sinister and scary.

The man said: "Order the military police to shoot the drunken officer immediately, and report the matter to the headquarters and all affiliated units. From now on, anyone who delays the military event due to personal reasons will be severely punished! This person will be severely punished.

That’s an example!”

As the general commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, it is a common thing to order the execution of a small lieutenant colonel who delayed a major military incident. Moreover, this drunken lieutenant colonel indeed deserves to die. But Chief of Staff Matsuda hesitated and said tentatively:

"Commander-in-Chief, please think twice. This lieutenant colonel who delayed the military plane has a very good background. He is the nephew of General Shinzaburo Kaga, the director of the military affairs bureau of the base camp!"

"Moreover, he is the only nephew. General Kaga lost his father when he was young, and his mother was frail and sick. It was his sister who raised General Kaga and sent him to the imperial military. Therefore, General Kaga is his own

I treat my sister as the person I respect the most, and I treat my nephew as my own son!"

"You also know that General Kaga has a strong foundation in the imperial military circles. His nephew was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Imperial Army at the age of less than thirty. This is the result of General Kaga's operation. Moreover, Kaga

General He was also responsible for the weapons and equipment of the imperial army.

, the allocation of military supplies, the allocation of reserve troops and other specific matters, he is a very powerful figure in the imperial military circles. Shooting his nephew will probably cause a series of adverse reactions, which will directly affect you, Commander-in-Chief, you

...!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda did not say the following words, but General Nanjiro felt like a mirror. What Yamada said made sense. General Kaga could never afford to offend him, not to mention his foundation and influence in the imperial military circles.

This is his current position. If he

When I moved my hands and feet at the base camp, I promised that I felt uncomfortable all over and could not find the root cause of the disease. Especially now, the Kwantung Army was in a dangerous moment and needed strong local support. At this time, I shot General Kaga's nephew.

, obviously not a wise move!

Throw a weapon against rats! General Nanjiro's face was no longer pale, but livid with purple-red. His heart was burning with discomfort, and a mouthful of blood surged up, making his heart panic and unable to breathe. "Matsuda-kun,

Don't say it, I understand the stakes, but if we don't severely punish such a scum and a bastard who sneaked into the Imperial Army, how can the Imperial Army be invincible in the world?" He said in a vicious voice with a black line on his forehead.

Chief of Staff Matsuda wanted to persuade him a few words, but General Nanjiro waved his hand to stop him and said: "Matsuda-kun, convey my order and order the military police to send out a few military police to beat this bastard with fifty military sticks first.

Then, escort this bastard back to the mainland and hand him directly into the hands of General Kaga. In addition, take off his uniform and get out of the Kwantung Army. He does not deserve to wear the Kwantung Army's uniform, let alone stay in the Kwantung Army!

"

Chief of Staff Matsuda breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this bastard is not shot, everything is easy. Taking off his military uniform and driving out the Kwantung Army troops is a trivial matter. With the energy of his uncle, General Kaga, it won't take a few days for this guy to survive.

If you can wear a military uniform in other troops, you might even be promoted to the rank of colonel. How can you make sense of this?

Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro has been extremely merciful. According to the crime this guy committed, it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him to death. If this matter were placed on other officers with no background, I am afraid that at this moment, the blood on the body will be all

Is the flow clean?

Chief of Staff Matsuda said nothing more and bowed before exiting. General Nanjiro was the only one left in the huge office. At this moment, his heart was filled with anger and sorrow. This was the high-ranking general of the Empire of Japan, his own.

What kind of thing is his nephew? Doesn’t General Kaga have no idea about this uncle?

Now that he knows, why would he put such a bastard into the Imperial Army? He didn't know that in the Kwantung Army, there was such an official-like officer, still in the confidential communications department, but then again

I came back, a small lieutenant colonel, there were at least hundreds of people in the Kwantung Army headquarters, how could I usually notice it?

As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, how could he not have a small lieutenant? The more he thought about it, the more depressed General Nanjiro felt. His throat felt sweet, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Then, his consciousness fell into a semi-conscious state.

Coma state.
