Age of Conquest Reborn

General Nanjiro's motorcade went away, disappeared from sight, and disappeared into the streets of Fengtian. General Umezu Yoshijiro breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, feeling indescribably comfortable all over his body. I don't know why, when facing Nanjiro,

He had a feeling of depression, not because the other party was a senior and experienced general in the military, nor because he had great military exploits and a reputation that could not be surpassed, but because he was very uncomfortable dealing with such a politician-type soldier.

Looking at the June sky in Fengtian and the dust on the road, General Umezu Yoshijiro's eyes shot out a cold light, "It's all over. Nanjiro's era has become a thing of the past. Next, it will be my era, Umezu Yoshijiro. Although this

An old guy with mediocre talents left Manchuria for himself, a mess full of dangers, but he shows his true qualities as a hero by turning the tide. Nanjiro is famous for his political methods, but he rules the roost for his military ability!"

At this moment, General Umezu Yoshijiro secretly decided on the overall military and political situation of Manchuria. He looked at the senior generals around him with a vague look of reluctance in their eyes. He sneered in his heart and said:

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. There is a saying in China, 'It's rare to have half a day's leisure in life!' Gentlemen, go back and rest for an afternoon. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will convene a military meeting to study the situation in Manchuria!"

After saying that, Umezu Yoshijiro, protected by several guards, left without looking back, leaving dozens of senior Kwantung Army generals who were still immersed in parting feelings in their minds and looked at each other. Chief of Staff Matsuda asked everyone

After leaving, he thought for a while and felt that others could go back and sleep with the kaiko in their arms, but he could not. Not only was he the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, but also he had to explain his impulsiveness at the reception.

Recover some losses.

Chief of Staff Matsuda knew that today's impulsiveness was a bit too much. It was not a good thing to be hated by his immediate boss. After all, he would have to work under the new commander-in-chief in the future. Thinking of this, he slowly walked in

Headquarters building, in my mind, I was thinking about how to have a good relationship with General Umezu Yoshijiro, the new boss. It would be best to be able to achieve the same level as Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro. Cooperate with each other, be intimate, talk about everything, and be kind to myself.

Follow your advice!

Chief of Staff Matsuda is not a reckless man. People who can achieve the position of Chief of Staff are all very scheming people. At the cocktail party that just ended, he was indeed impulsive. After he sobered up, he had to make plans for his future and look forward to the past.

His old boss, General Nanjiro, who had the kindness to meet him, is understandable in expressing nostalgia for the past. Now, he is moving closer to the new boss, General Yoshijiro Umezu, which is the meaning of the question. At least in the view of Chief of Staff Matsuda, the two are not the same.

conflict.

In the office of General Nanjiro, the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, looked at the decoration in the room. Although it was pure Japanese style, it was far from the style he liked.

I just arrived at the Fengtian Kwantung Army Headquarters this morning, and then I attended the welcome and farewell reception. I didn’t have time to sit in the office that was about to belong to me. In the eyes of General Umezu Yoshijiro, his predecessor’s office

, is obviously too luxurious. It is decorated like the residence of an elegant man who has read poetry and books, and it also has a vulgar atmosphere everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is arty!

In the office, everything that should be there and what should not be there is there, but it is not like the office of the commander-in-chief who commands nearly two million elite Kwantung Army divisions. General Umezu Yoshijiro couldn't help but frown slightly, with disgust flashing in his eyes.

Color, he has already made a plan, but tomorrow, everything here will be changed, and all those damn flowers, plants, calligraphy and paintings and other common things will be thrown into the garbage.

In the office of a general of the Imperial Japanese Army, except for the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor hanging on the wall, the Imperial Japanese flag and the army flag, a large military map, a sand table covering the entire room, and a telephone on the military table, there are other

, are all useless waste and encumbrances. Of course, what cannot be missing is the knife holder holding your beloved katana. Apart from these, nothing is allowed to appear.

Sitting on the soft armchair, General Umezu Yoshijiro had a sarcastic smile on his lips, "My predecessor, I would really enjoy it. This high-power chair is very comfortable!" He thought to himself, casually.

He reached out and picked up several plans for the Manchuria campaign from the Kwantung Army Headquarters. After reading a few of them, the sarcasm on his lips became even stronger, and his disdain was undisguised.

In his opinion, the battle plan approved by General Nanjiro can only be described in a few words, "Stick to the rules, old tactics, and pedantic!" "It seems that when he was at the base camp, he heard that General Nanjiro's political talents

,far surpassing his military ability

Several times, this statement is indeed true. The current situation in Manchuria, which was suppressed by the army of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and lost the important territory of the Liaodong Peninsula, is directly related to the mediocre military command of his predecessor.

!" He thought to himself.

If it were General Umezu Yoshijiro himself, even if the Kwantung Army could not advance into North China, at least the southern part of Manchuria and the line of defense leading to the pass should not be in the Jinzhou area in western Liaoning, but should be on the Shanhaiguan line, which the Kwantung Army occupied

Shanhaiguan, overlooking the land of North China, I am afraid that today's situation should be reversed. The so-called vicious China devil Tang Qiuli was the result of being suppressed by the Kwantung Army.

"I really don't know what this old guy Nanjiro has done in Manchuria for so many years besides playing political tricks and amassing money crazily? There are nearly two million elite Kwantung Army troops, so he let the independent division

Our troops have always occupied the Liaoxi Corridor area, and the Chinese frontiers are pointing directly at the hinterland of Manchuria and the Fengtian area. What a huge mistake!" General Umezu Yoshijiro muttered.

General Umezu Yoshijiro was self-aware. Although he had not commanded the Japanese army's operations against the independent divisions on the Chinese battlefield, it did not prevent him from understanding the greatest enemy of the Japanese Empire - the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. He also did not think that

, I am much more powerful than Okamura Neji, Matsui Iwane, Tashiro Anichiro, Ito Genzaburo and other famous generals in the imperial army, let alone three heads and six arms. These famous imperial generals have all fallen into the hands of Tang Qiuli.

It's unfortunate that the jade was broken.

If the former Commander-in-Chief of the Northern China Front of the Empire of Japan, General Okamura Nei, and further away, for example, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Central China Expedition Army, General Matsui Iwane, were all broken into pieces in the hands of this person, so many famous generals of the Empire would not be able to survive in front of Tang Qiuli.

Returning in vain or dying, it is enough to prove that this person must not be underestimated, he is a deadly opponent!

However, in the view of General Umezu Yoshijiro, the Western Liaoning area has been occupied by the independent division troops for many years, and the Kwantung Army has been in a passive position, which is a concentrated expression of Nanjiro's mediocre military command ability. If it were him, no matter how high the price was,

He also wanted to regain the Western Liaoning Corridor area and push the front line to Shanhaiguan, and he believed that relying on the geographical convenience of the Kwantung Army occupying Manchuria, it could do this. However, the old guy Nanjiro was content to maintain the status quo.

I just don’t dare to do it!

I flipped through several military deployment plans about Manchuria, and they were nothing more than "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Don't take the initiative!" "Don't easily start a war with the independent division troops!"

, It is not the behavior of a general of the Japanese Empire to insist before fighting!

Even the ancient Chinese military art said, "If you defend for a long time, you will lose!" Doesn't this old guy Nanjiro understand this? The Imperial Japanese Army has always advocated offense. "It's a pity that the Kwantung Army is such an elite force."

Troops, actually

However, Nanjiro was locked in a cage and did not dare to step out of western Liaoning. He assumed a passive posture and only knew how to defend, but did not think about attacking. From the bottom of his heart, Nanjiro lacked the courage of the generals of the Japanese Empire!" He shook his head in disdain.

thought of.

General Umezu Yoshijiro looked through the Manchurian war plans with no interest. Since Nanjiro was famous for his superb political skills in Manchuria, and retired with a lot of honors and benefits, he himself

We can't follow his old path, but

Moreover, I am not good at following his path, so I will give full play to my strengths and make a big move in the military to let the high-ranking bosses in the base camp see that I, Umezu Yoshijiro, not only want to solve the current situation

The crisis in Manchuria, we still need to recover the lost territory!

The target was initially set at the Western Liaoning Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula. The reason why I was so patient and looked through the bullshit military deployment plans left by my predecessor was because I wanted to find some inspiration from them, or to see what was right.

There are things that are useful in realizing my own plan, but I am obviously disappointed. Looking at these things not only does not give me any inspiration, but also blocks my thoughts, affects my mood, and makes me feel suffocated and unlucky.

With only the last one left, General Umezu Yoshijiro shook his head, barely clearing his mind of the helplessness caused by these clumsy military deployment plans. He opened the folder and glanced at it casually.

, suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have discovered something valuable. Then, he straightened his body and looked attentively. While looking, he stopped from time to time and thought about it.

Obviously, in this bunch of military deployment plans that he regarded as bullshit, General Umezu Yoshijiro discovered something very useful to him, "Yoxi! I didn't expect that this old guy Nanjiro finally did it.

He did the most meaningful thing. In this way, he gave himself a chance! Perhaps, this was the only right thing his predecessor did in the past few years in Manchuria!" His eyes were shining brightly.

think.

However, General Umezu Yoshijiro did not know much about the specific details of this plan. He thought for a moment and rang the bell on the table.
