Age of Conquest Reborn

Seeing the expressions of more than a hundred imperial military and political officials avoiding his gaze, General Nanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, in a telegram to the base camp,

already

The scriptures have made it very clear that all the border guards were destroyed, and in the western Liaoning and western Manchuria areas, the Kwantung Army, with more than one million troops, was surrounded by the independent divisions. Fengtian, Xinjing, and Harbin were also under threat from the independent divisions.

Among them!"

"I believe that as long as that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is willing, he can capture the above three places at any time. I do not doubt this, nor do I mean to belittle the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Imperial Kwantung Army. Looking at the country, there are only ten divisions.

Most of our reserve soldiers are new recruits who have been trained for less than three months. They have no external reinforcements and are surrounded on all sides. This is the current situation of the Kwantung Army of our empire in Manchuria!"

Regarding this point, none of the officials, including Emperor Hirohito, could refute it. The fact is that it is even worse than this. "What I said about giving up Manchuria is just a temporary measure. The empire can take Manchuria."

, handed over to the empire’s mortal enemy Tang Qiuli, but the other condition is that Tang Qiuli’s troops must withdraw from the Korean Peninsula and the Far East!”

"In this way, the more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers who were surrounded in Manchuria can be preserved. This is the most elite force of our Empire of Japan. How can we lose them all for a hopeless battle? Exchange Manchuria for the Kwantung Army.

, I think it is very worthwhile, and after leaving Manchuria, the Kwantung Army was not transferred back to the mainland, but was divided into two parts and stationed in the Far East and the Korean Peninsula respectively!"

"Give the Kwantung Army three years to recuperate, improve existing equipment, and strengthen training, especially for the independent division troops. By then, the campaign to regain Manchuria can be launched simultaneously from both the Far East and the Korean Peninsula. Farewell, gentlemen.

Forgot. Manchuria is located between the Korean Peninsula and the Far East, which means it is surrounded by the imperial army!"

"In this way, as long as the Kwantung Army is fully fledged again, it can launch an attack at any time, use retreat to advance, and exchange Manchuria for the Kwantung Army's one million soldiers to make a comeback. I think it is very worthwhile. Such a loss of power and humiliation to the country, why not swallow it for the time being?

In the current situation in Manchuria, fighting to the death will show that the imperial warriors are not afraid of death, but it is of no use. In the end, Manchuria will be lost and the imperial army will lose the capital to counterattack in the future!"

"After the empire's war in the north is settled, there is another major advantage. It can avoid the empire's two-front war, the unfavorable situation of exhausting the local war potential on the battlefield and being overwhelmed with war resources. It can also reduce the empire's existing resources and

The military power is concentrated on the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific and the battlefield in the Eastern Pacific where the Americans compete for sea control. Then, in the southern battlefield, the imperial army can also concentrate its military power and resources to form an overwhelming advantage!"

"When the Empire completely annihilated the Allied forces in the Australian battlefield and completely wiped out the American fleet, in turn, could the millions of Imperial troops used in the south be used in the north to occupy the resources in the occupied areas?

It can support the northern battlefield. By then, the empire will be able to invest no less than three million troops in the battlefield in Manchuria. Then, what is there to fear from the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli? With such military strength, Manchuria can be recovered

What's the difficulty? Temporary gains and losses are not the final outcome!"

"Your Majesty, colleagues, this is Nanjiro's solution to the crisis in Manchuria. Your Majesty has finished your presentation. Please make your decision!"

Nanjiro's long and eloquent speech has ended here. This man indeed has two brushes. It can be regarded as a strategy to calm the war in Manchuria. The impact it brought to Emperor Hirohito and Japan's civil and military officials was unprecedented.

In the huge emperor's palace, it was completely quiet. Everyone was thinking and chewing on Nanjiro's words. Their heads were buzzing and they kept nodding. Their heads were still full of confusion.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Applause suddenly rang out, awakening Emperor Hirohito and other officials from their different thoughts. The person applauding was the number one person in the Imperial Japanese military today——

General Mitsuichi Mineuchi, Minister of War and Acting Chief of General Staff of the Base Camp!

The first person to understand what Nanjiro said was not Emperor Hirohito, nor any other big shot, but General Mitsuru Yoneuchi. With his experienced experience, he could see the core of Nanjiro's suggestion at a glance. If you abandon Manchuria, you can keep the enemy.

combine

With more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers surrounding them, there is still a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback. To be fair, Koichi Mineuchi now really admires Nanjiro for his courage to risk the world's disapproval. This man may be the best person to save the crisis in Manchuria!

In essence, Koichi Yoneuchi and Nanjiro are similar types of people. Although they both hold important positions in the Japanese military, they are not known for their military commanding abilities. Instead, they are famous for their superb political skills. They are similar.

It is easy to resonate with people. Today, in solving the Manchuria issue, Nanjiro, who has more political qualities than military temperament, is much more useful than a general who can fight!

"Your Majesty, I believe that General Nanjiro's words are inspiring and go straight to the core of resolving the crisis in Manchuria. No one without great wisdom and courage would dare to risk the accusations of a thousand people and frankly speak to the court about the consequences of his actions.

For this, I admire you greatly and fully agree with Nanjiro-kun's approach!" Mitsuru Mineuchi strongly supported Nanjiro and said loudly, his words came from the sincerity, if you think about it from his perspective, if it were you, I wouldn't dare to do this!

Since the number one person in the military circles completely agrees with Nanjiro's approach, it is impossible for people in the army to object, and people in the navy have no reason to object. As for people in the civil service system, there is no need to make cross-border attacks.

The one-sided Lieutenant General Sada, who was waiting for a pair of bull's-eyes and was still a little unconvinced, was suppressed by the other heavyweights of the army with vicious looks, and he had no choice but to remain dejected and silent.

Emperor Hirohito seemed to have been relieved of a thousand kilograms of weight, and felt indescribably relaxed. His pale and thin face was tinged with red light. He stood up and said loudly: "Okay, we will solve Manchuria according to Nanji Ai Qing's method."

Crisis situation, the previous authorization remains unchanged, Mi Nei loves you,

Nanji Ai Qing, Ito Ai Qing, the three of you, please work more on this matter and study the specific details. I am completely exhausted, so I will not interfere anymore and let the meeting be dismissed!" Then, all the officials bowed indifferently.

He saluted and left the hall under the protection of his attendants.

All the senior officials left with their own secrets. On the surface, the limelight of this meeting seemed to have been stolen by people from the Army and Civil Service departments. The Navy did not gain a single cent.

Several young officers of the Navy were a little aggrieved, but in the opinion of Navy Minister Nagano Shuzan, this was the best. The mess in Manchuria was already the king of hell, and even panaceas were of no avail. It was the best result for the Navy to stay away from right and wrong.

An imperial meeting held late at night, which lasted for several hours, ended and the principles for resolving the Manchuria issue were determined. However, Japan's core decision-making leaders, including Emperor Hirohito, seemed to be wishful thinking.

They wishfully believed that Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, would definitely accept such conditions, which seemed to be a bit of a gift in a certain psychological way!

In the official residence of General Koichi Mineuchi, Koichi Mineuchi, Nanjiro and Foreign Minister Masafumi Ito are discussing some specific details in a secret room. The room is not big, but the decoration is very exquisite, in a typical Japanese style. A picture

On the short square table, there were exquisitely prepared side dishes and three bottles of sake. However, it was obvious that the three important ministers who shouldered important responsibilities were not thinking about drinking.

Koichi Minai picked up the wine pot, filled the glasses for Nanjiro and Ito Masabumi, poured another glass for himself, looked at Ito Masabumi, and said: "Ito-kun, Nanji-kun is going to fight with that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli

Negotiation, but there is no channel for negotiation. You

It is clear that the Kwantung Army and Tang Qiuli's troops are at war. If we negotiate on the battlefield like this, it will mean surrender on the battlefield. This is unacceptable to our military. Is there anything you can do about it from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Solve this problem?"

Masafumi Ito took a sip of sake, thought for a while and said: "Mine-kun, this is not difficult. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always maintained close contact with the German Embassy in China. I can ask the German Ambassador to China to come forward.

, communicate with Tang Qiuli and convey our intention to negotiate. It is said that Tao Deman has a good personal relationship with Tang Qiuli!"

"He will be very happy to be this messenger. After Nanji-kun arrives in Manchuria, don't rush to take action. Just wait for news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Koichi Mineuchi obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is best. It is much more logical to have the German Ambassador to China as the intermediary. Then please trouble Ito-kun and contact Todman as soon as possible. The crisis in Manchuria cannot be delayed!"

When Koichi Mineuchi and Masafumi Ito were talking, Nanjiro didn't say a word. He just sipped his sake and seemed a little worried. Koichi Mineuchi knew that the burden on Nanjiro's shoulders was definitely not light. Maybe, Germany

If mediation fails and negotiations fail, there is a possibility that he will risk his own life in Manchuria!

After filling the wine glass for Nanjiro, Koichi Mineuchi asked: "Nanjiro-kun, you are leaving for Manchuria tomorrow. Can you take a plane? That would be faster. The Kwantung Army is leaderless now and urgently needs Nanjiro-kun to take charge of the overall situation!"

Nanjiro smiled slightly and said: "Munei-kun, does the sky in Manchuria still belong to the Empire of Japan? I am afraid that I will be shot down by a fighter jet sent by Tang Qiuli before I take the plane to Fengtian!"

Mineuchi was silent for a moment, "Then how are Nanji-kun planning to leave?" he asked again.

"Take a plane and land in Vladivostok, and then rush to Fengtian by land. Although it will take more time, it is safe. I don't want to die before leaving!" Nanjiro humored him, but he still had a problem in his mind.

Not solved!
