Age of Conquest Reborn

General Umezu Yoshijiro, with a fire of hope in his heart, pinned all his hopes of saving himself on his ground-breaking memorial. However, he did not consider at all that if the memorial was passed at the Imperial Military Council, Nanjiro would still

Can you come to Manchuria and take over your position?

What can I say? General Nanjiro also saw that the current state and mood of Umezu Meijiro were definitely abnormal. He was silent for a moment, looking at General Umezu with the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes, he sighed in his heart, and drank slowly

Drinking wine in the cup, he said in a faint tone: "Submitted. To this end, His Majesty the Emperor also convened a special imperial military meeting. The participants in the meeting, including all the decision-makers from both the military and political circles of the empire, discussed your memorial!"

General Nanjiro, who had been in the Imperial Japanese military circles for many years and knew the inside story very well. He was a man of great change and an expert in factional fighting. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some mistake in the time Koichi Yoneuchi brought out the Umezu Memorial.

It shouldn't be just two or three days apart from the telegram sent by Kwantung Army Chief of General Staff Matsuda Kenjiro, but he definitely had no intention of revealing it. Otherwise, just ask Umezu when he sent the memorial back to his homeland, and everything will be clear!

Having personally participated in the imperial military meeting that night, I was even more aware of the attitude of many civil and military officials, including His Majesty the Emperor, in criticizing the memorial. Yoneguang held the memorial in his hand and did not dare to take it out.

Mood, that is a bomb, which will not only blow up the person who wrote the memorial, but also the person who submitted the memorial.

Therefore, Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial is irrelevant, although his memorial is indeed prophetic. However, for a man who is already dead in His Majesty's mind, even if he did not die on the battlefield, his future is destined to be bleak.

In the emperor

There is no foundation in the national military circles. Umezu Yoshijiro, who has no family and no family, offends the number one man in the imperial military circles, the favorite minister of His Majesty the Emperor, and the popular Koichi Mineuchi. It will not do him any good, and he has to bear it.

The fury of Minai Koichi’s faction!

In an instant, General Nanjiro weighed the pros and cons and made a decision. He would never do anything that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself without breaking this layer of paper!

"What is the holy will of His Majesty the Emperor?" General Umezu involuntarily leaned forward, his eyes full of hope and urgency and asked. The hands holding the wine glass were trembling slightly. The attitudes of other people were irrelevant, except for His Majesty the Emperor.

Only your attitude can influence your destiny!

Since he decided not to reach out and pull the useless Umezu Yoshijiro, Nanjiro didn't want to beat around the bush and directly dismissed his fantasy, "His Majesty the Emperor was furious at that time and said that your memorial was a loss of power and humiliation of the country, rebellious and false, with ulterior motives.

He also said that this person’s heart can be killed,

He deserves to be killed! The ministers suggest that you be escorted back to Tokyo from Manchuria immediately, tried by a military court, and punished severely!" The tone was cold. There was no warmth at all, like a bone-chilling cold wind, mixed with ice cubes, blowing at your head.

It hit Umezu Yoshijiro's heart with a bang.

"What? How could this happen? Nanji-kun, are you right?" The wine glass in General Umezu's hand fell to the ground with a bang. His expression was in a trance, as if he was dreaming, and he subconsciously asked, he didn't believe this.

As a result, the memorial written with painstaking efforts, a good strategy to solve the crisis in Manchuria, was submitted at the risk of ruining his reputation, but he received such a comment, "His heart is worthy of death, and his person deserves to be killed!" Such heart-breaking words!

Nanjiro's eyes were cold and emotionless, and he said stiffly: "Umezu-kun, I have already come to Manchuria. Isn't that enough to explain everything? Is it necessary to deceive you?" Being suspected is a very frustrating thing.

It seems like who is willing to step into this mud pit?

Meijin was frozen there. Nanjiro's words seemed to come from outside the sky and floated in his ears. He looked around in a daze, only to find that it was blurry. Nanjiro's face was twisted and swaying in front of his eyes, and sometimes he looked simple and honest.

His appearance is sometimes as fierce as a ghost!

Seeing Umezu Yoshijiro's devastated look, his whole body was drained of energy, like grass exposed to the sun, Nanjiro couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion in his heart.

He has a bad temper and has no friendship with him,

Not to mention like-minded people, on the contrary, Umezu Yoshijiro is still a guy that I hate. When he handed over the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, his domineering attitude is now clearly remembered in his mind, but now he looks like this,

It's also really pitiful.

Forget it, be a good person for once. General Nanjiro took out a new wine glass, filled it with sake, and said slowly: "Umezu-kun, you don't have to be so depressed. These words are just what His Majesty the Emperor said at the imperial meeting.

, Are you saying this out of anger? His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp have no formal punishment orders, let alone treat you as a criminal! Otherwise, the military police should be escorting you back to the country now!"

"If not, you can personally send a telegram to His Excellency Koichi Mineuchi, Minister of War and Acting Chief of General Staff of the base camp, explaining your difficulties in detail, and ask His Majesty the Cabinet to discuss it in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Perhaps, this is a way.

?”

With Minami Jiro being such a cunning person, of course he would not be able to tell the truth. To put it bluntly, the person who untied the bell had to tie the bell. Umezu Yoshijiro has reached the point where he is today, and Yoneichi cannot escape his involvement. If Yoneuchi Kōichi could reach out and give him a hand, Umezu Yoshijiro would definitely be grateful.

Although I don't care about it, I haven't offended anyone after all. I won't be embarrassed when we meet in the future!

If Miuchi Yoneuchi adds insult to injury, Umezu Yoshijiro will never be able to turn around again. It has nothing to do with him. He has a clear conscience. Naturally, he will not intercede for Umezu Yoshijiro. It is too late to hide from such a thing!

Umezu Meijiro had recovered from the trance he had just been in, but his face was frighteningly sallow and his eyes were empty. After hearing General Nanjiro's suggestion, he slowly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, Nanjiro.

But it’s not necessary. The war situation in Manchuria has reached the point where it is today, and I cannot escape the blame. Even if His Majesty the Emperor does not blame me, I will be ashamed!”

"I just don't know if Nanji-kun has resumed his duties as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. What good strategies can he have to solve the current crisis in Manchuria?"

When mentioning the war situation in Manchuria, Nanjiro felt panicked for a while. He raised his neck, poured a full glass of wine into his stomach, and sighed: "His Majesty the Emperor has granted me full power to handle the situation in Manchuria. As for good strategies,

Not to mention negotiating with Tang Qiuli to give up all of Manchuria, the Kwantung Army withdrawing from Manchuria, and the empire giving up its sovereignty in Manchuria, that's all!"

"What?" Umezu Yoshijiro seemed to have been stung by a wasp, his body shook violently, his eyes glowed with iron-gray dark light, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "No, Nanji-kun, you must not talk to that China

The devil Tang Qiuli negotiates. If this is the case, the morale of the military and the people will be lost! You will become the eternal sinner of the Japanese Empire!"

"We still have more than one million Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria. We are fully capable of making a strategic retreat after World War I. How can we retreat without a fight? Such negotiations are no different from failure. Cutting off cities and giving up land.

It is an alliance under the city and a shame to the Japanese Empire. It will be difficult to return to Manchuria in the future!"

Umezu Yoshijiro's words were quite sharp, especially his accusations that General Nanjiro was the eternal sinner of the Japanese Empire for negotiating with Tang Qiuli. It was even more hurtful. He almost made Nanjiro vomit blood!

If it weren't for you, an arrogant bastard, to carry out attacks, rescues, etc., and destroy all the military potential of the empire in Manchuria, what would there be to talk about with these Chinese people? If I have hundreds of people in my hands

Wan Xiongbing has the capital and confidence to continue fighting. Do you still need to negotiate?

General Nanjiro's face suddenly turned livid. He felt that talking to this obviously insane guy was a waste of time, but after all, he was deep enough in the city and did not have an attack on the spot. Instead, he stood up and said coldly: "Umezu-kun,

It’s late at night and I’m very tired. I still have many important things to deal with tomorrow, so I’ll excuse you! Please use your time, Umezu-kun!”

"Oh, by the way, if you want to go back to Tokyo, I will arrange for guards to escort you! If you don't want to go back to Tokyo for the time being, just stay at the headquarters to recuperate for a while. Don't worry, Umezu-kun, no one will interfere with your freedom of movement!"

With that said, Nanjiro stood up and left without even looking at Umezu Meijiro out of the corner of his eye. He had completely lost interest in General Umezu!

Seeing that General Nanjiro was about to leave, Umezu Meijiro stood up and shouted loudly: "Nanjiro, please stay, I have something to ask of you!"

General Nanjiro stopped, turned around and said, "Okay, Umezu-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I will tell your family truthfully!" He thought that Umezu Meijiro had something personal to ask of him, and he couldn't be busy with this.

Even if you don’t help, in the final analysis, you are still a good person, right?

Unexpectedly, a kind of insulted anger emerged on the face of General Umezu Yoshijiro, "Nanji-kun, you underestimate me Umezu Yoshijiro too much. Since I came to Manchuria, I have held the hope of serving His Majesty the Emperor and Great Japan.

Preparation for the sacrifice of the empire, the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire sacrificed their lives to serve the country, how can they have private affairs?"

"This is the battle plan I drew up after more than ten days of careful consideration, and after observing and analyzing the deployment of the Independent Division troops. It is very simple. The more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area break through horizontally and break the independent division troops.

Encirclement, join the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area, end the situation of being divided and surrounded, and then board the ship from Huludao Port, and the Kwantung Army will withdraw to the Korean Peninsula!"

"Nanji-kun, this is a detailed battle plan. I implore you to take a look at it. This is the only plan that can avoid the humiliating withdrawal of the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army from Manchuria. Please!"

Umezu Meijiro bowed deeply and his voice was choked with sobs. However, Nanjiro was not even interested in looking at the pieces of paper in his hand. He turned around and left, leaving a sentence, "Umezu-kun, you should think about your own safety."

Question!"
