Age of Conquest Reborn

General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, who has left office and is about to return to China, is used to thinking about issues from the perspective of a politician, because the sudden commotion of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda has made the two-in-one reception more or less

The taste has changed a bit, and it has turned into a reluctance to leave the old commander, and a show of authority towards the new commander. Of course, for the former, General Nanjiro is enough to comfort himself.

The latter is what General Nanjiro never wants to see. After all, the generals under his command are still under Umezu Yoshijiro. He does not want to give the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and reorganize the headquarters.

Opportunity, so General Nanjiro must speak.

General Umezu Yoshijiro remained calm and composed, which made General Nanjiro unable to figure out the identity of this person. He was a little confused. Is this the legendary Umezu who has no castle in his chest and a typical military character?

If General Umezu Yoshijiro showed an angry look on the spot, or showed his displeasure on his face, General Nanjiro would be relieved, but this guy Umezu had an old look on his face, and seemed to be aware of Lieutenant General Matsuda and the Kwantung Army.

The high-ranking general deliberately displayed his power. Admiral Nanjiro gained another level of understanding of Umezu. It makes sense to think about it. Those who can reach their current position in the imperial world must be fuel-efficient.

lamp?

General Nanjiro thought sharply. The timing of coming forward and the way he spoke were extremely important. If it was not done well, it would be self-defeating and not beautiful. When he saw Matsuda and other senior generals, they still looked the same. I don’t know who is the Kwantung Army now.

General Nanjiro was secretly worried at the boss's attitude and cursed secretly, "What a bunch of fools. Their loyalty to me can't be shown on such an occasion? How can you put this guy Umezu Mijiro in such trouble?"

General Nanjiro suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to General Umezu Mijiro. This move not only made Matsuda and other senior Kwantung Army generals look at each other in confusion, but also General Umezu Mijiro, who had a calm face, was shocked.

He hurriedly stood up and returned the gift. At least on the surface, he said with sincerity: "Nanji-kun, why are you like this? You are a senior in the imperial world and my predecessor. Meijin cannot afford such a great gift! Nanji-kun, you are a senior in the imperial world and my predecessor.

Mr. Ci, please sit down quickly. What do you want to say? Let’s sit down and talk?”

Nanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. It was you, Umezu Mijiro, who was waiting for you. After bowing deeply, he said sincerely: "Umezu-kun, I am about to leave Manchuria. I have some words that I would like to say. While I was presiding over the military administration in Manchuria,

Although he has made small achievements, he is not a man of worldly talent, and has created the current situation where the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli and an army of more than a million are pressing down on the country. I am very ashamed to think about it!"

"What I left to Mr. Umezu was the crisis in Manchuria. Under such a crisis, Mr. Umezu still generously took up his post, which shows that you are fearless and confident. The Kwantung Army I left in Manchuria is loyal to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor.

The army is loyal to the commander-in-chief

Army, I am about to leave. I shouldn’t talk too much, but I very much hope that the Kwantung Army, under the command of Lord Umezu, can change the crisis in Manchuria and preserve such a fertile land for the Empire of Japan. Although I am in my homeland

, I’m also pleased, please, Umezu-kun!”

General Nanjiro finished speaking sincerely and bowed again. For the sake of what he said, General Nanjiro even did not hesitate to belittle his achievements during the period when he presided over the military administration in Manchuria. The heads of Chief of Staff Matsuda and others were not elm wood.

Qiao suddenly understood, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you are excusing our actions just now, and you are also helping us eliminate General Umezu's bad feelings towards us. I am so grateful!"

With such a step and opportunity, if you don't take advantage of it, you will be a complete fool. Chief of Staff Matsuda was the first to step forward, followed by all the senior generals of the Kwantung Army. They walked up to General Umezu Yoshijiro and said in unison: "The job

We are willing to, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Umezu, recreate the glory of the Kwantung Army and annihilate all enemies who dare to invade! Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The Kwantung Army is invincible!"

The shouts of long live echoed in the living room. General Umezu Yoshijiro certainly knew that this was General Nanjiro's support for himself. No matter who sits on the throne of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army will be loyal to the person on the throne.

, and the statements of Lieutenant General Matsuda and others are undoubtedly telling themselves that from now on, you are the boss!

There was no complacency on General Umezu Yoshijiro's face. On the contrary, he was sneering in his heart, "This old guy Nanjiro has no choice but to play a double act with his former direct subordinates. He is afraid that after he takes over the Kwantung Army

, using various excuses to clean up the interior and eliminate dissidents, is your current behavior considered surrender? "

General Umezu Yoshijiro also expressed his stance, "Gentlemen, the Kwantung Army, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Nanji, has created many brilliant achievements. For example, in the battle with the Russian Army in the Far East, the Kwantung Army defeated the enemy with great success.

With great reputation, Umezu took over the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army. Speaking of which, he was still under the shadow of Commander-in-Chief Nanci, so he felt a sense of fear and fear, lest the prestige of the Kwantung Army would be damaged in Umezu's hands!"

"We are all samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, the elites of the Yamato nation, and the proud flowers of the Imperial Army. We can only unite sincerely and work together to serve His Majesty the Emperor's grand cause of dominating Asia and moving towards the world. Even if we die a hundred times, we will have no regrets.

, I hope that all the gentlemen here will do their best to assist Meijin, so that the flower of the imperial army can bloom all over the land of China!"

Umezu Yoshijiro's words were also extremely beautiful. He did not deny the achievements of his predecessors and fully respected his seniors in the military. He also expressed his determination and established his position. He also hinted that he would not clean up the internal affairs and eliminate dissidents.

His actions are absolutely impeccable.

Lieutenant General Matsuda and others were naturally moved and catered to them one after another. They all came to propose a toast. In complete contrast to their previous attitude, General Nanjiro retired after his success and consciously stepped aside. He looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

A touching scene with a happy expression on his face.

In fact, General Nanjiro's heart was filled with chills because General Umezu Meijiro's words just now were so beautiful that they almost overturned his entire understanding of this martial artist. Who said this guy didn't like politics?

I think if this guy Umezu joins the political world, his future is limitless. "This guy is not easy to mess with!" He secretly reminded himself that in the future, if he secretly controlled and manipulated the Kwantung Army, he might be in trouble, and he couldn't avoid Umezu Yoshijiro.

The reception ended successfully. Because the situation on the Manchurian border was tense, the generals did not dare to drink too much. It was finally time for General Nanjiro to board the special plane. Under the leadership of General Umezu Yoshijiro, everyone surrounded the former commander-in-chief and walked out of Fengtian Kanto.

At the military headquarters building, the moment he boarded the car, General Nanjiro looked back again and gazed affectionately at this place that carried his glory and dreams and retired after success.

Then, he squatted, got into the car, and was escorted by more than a dozen trucks full of headquarters guard soldiers, leaving the Kwantung Army headquarters. Sitting in the car, General Nanjiro shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes. He was quite sad and filled with emotion.

Qian finally returned to China. I wonder if he will be able to return to Manchuria in his lifetime?

Originally, according to the wishes of General Umezu Yoshijiro, a grand farewell ceremony was held at Fengtian Airport for General Nanjiro to leave office and return to China, but General Nanjiro firmly declined the reason. The current Manchurian war situation is about to break out. The key

At this time, it is not appropriate to exaggerate such a major event, lest it cause unreasonable speculation among the Manchurian citizens and ordinary soldiers of the Kwantung Army because of the change of commander of the Kwantung Army!

In order to show respect for this military senior and his predecessor, General Umezu Yoshijiro was also prepared to send a brigade of fighter jets to escort General Nanjiro's special plane. He could not let the once famous commander who commanded nearly two million elite imperial troops

Commander, are you going back home on a lonely plane?

This move not only demonstrates my respect for my seniors and predecessors in the military, but also shows it to the local big guys. I, Umezu Yoshijiro, am not a heartless person. Although the Kwantung Army Air Force was involved in an air battle south of Fengtian.

Among them, the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division was completely wiped out, but it was still possible to assemble a fighter group. Unexpectedly, General Nanjiro himself refused even more forcefully than holding a grand farewell ceremony at the airport.

Facing the somewhat stubborn General Nanjiro, with such a solution and clear attitude, Umezu Yoshijiro had to cancel his plan to send a fighter group to escort him. He didn't understand why this old guy Nanjiro would refuse such a glorious thing, and even...

Nervous?

Umezu Yoshijiro is not Nanjiro. He does not understand the true thoughts of General Nanjiro. Now, the sky over Manchuria is ruled by the independent aviation force. Anything with the symbol of the Japanese Empire, as long as it flies into the sky, it may come from somewhere.

The independent division's fighter jets took off, and a special plane took off without attracting attention. If it was a fighter group and dozens of fighter jets took off, and it did not attract the encirclement and annihilation of the independent division aviation fighter group, would General Nanjiro even change his name?

Face is important, but it is not as important as life. If your life is gone, how can you get face? Therefore, General Nanjiro was frightened by General Umezu Yoshijiro's kindness to save face for him. He regarded it as a snake and a scorpion and refused it.

, even lacks the tact and calmness that a mature politician should have.

If it were not for the darkness of the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, General Nanjiro would never have taken the risk and took a special plane to return home. Crossing the Sea of ​​Japan by boat is also a route, but this route is already full of dangers. In comparison, the air route

It was relatively safer, but the special plane did not dare to fly directly through the airspace of the Korean Peninsula. Instead, it went directly north, landed in Harbin to refuel, and returned home via Vladivostok.

Nanjiro left, leaving behind a crisis-ridden situation in Manchuria. He retired with great success and flew back to Japan with completely different results than the previous commanders-in-chief of the Kwantung Army!
