Age of Conquest Reborn

Prince Zai Ren, who is passionate and greedy for territory in his heart and is good at deceit and maneuvering, can be 100% sure that there is no possibility of success in negotiating with Tang Qiuli regarding the Manchuria war situation. Including his brother, the emperor, the people in the base camp

Those officials think about things too idealistically!

The China devil Tang Qiuli who caused the death of millions of soldiers of the Japanese Empire and the fall of dozens of famous imperial generals would never negotiate. His greedy appetite extended not only to Manchuria, but also to the Korean Peninsula and the Far East.

Tang Qiuli wanted everything, but the price paid by the empire could not satisfy the appetite of this hateful Chinese. The negotiation was doomed to fail. This was a conclusion based on the understanding of the opponent.

As for asking the Germans to come forward for mediation, Prince Zai Ren thinks it is even more unreliable. Why should the Germans stand up for the empire? It is half of the Far East. You are kidding. The Germans are now on the land of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Russian army carried out a devastating blow. The head of the empire, Hitler, had his eyes on the European continent and his old enemy the Soviets. Could he be interested in Asia east of the Ural Mountains?

Moreover, Tang Qiuli was in Siberia, plundering land from the Soviets. The Germans would fight for an enclave to draw chestnuts from the fire of the empire. Hitler, the German head of state, was shrewd and cunning. Prince Zai Ren shook his head repeatedly and did not even think about it.

Evaluation, how could the imperial meeting chaired by my brother the emperor and those high-ranking officials make such a stinky move?

If I had to decide by myself, it would be "fight!" Even if the Kwantung Army was wiped out, the fight would continue. Seeing Prince Zai Ren shaking his head and sneering, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi, who was good at observing words and expressions, guessed right at once.

In his mind, he suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, as the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, would you like to report your opinions directly to His Majesty the Emperor? Perhaps, some wrong decisions can be changed!"

Prince Zai Ren shook his head helplessly. It was not that he did not want to clarify his views to the emperor. He was opposed to negotiating with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, but was this useful? How to solve the crisis of the Manchurian war situation. He had no good strategy, Kanto

If the army fights to the death, and even the entire army is shattered, they will definitely encounter strong opposition from the big bosses in the base camp. We are in the Far East, too busy to care for ourselves, far away from the center of the empire's power, and it will be of no use to talk.

It's better to use your energy on the battlefield in the Far East and think about how to deal with Liu Tiehan's attack. Prince Zairen was just about to discuss the battlefield issues with Chief of Staff Yamaguchi. At this time, a senior staff officer hurriedly said

Come in. With a nervous look on his face, he reported: "Commander and Chief of Staff have received top-secret information from the intelligence department. An independent division with a strength of more than 400,000 people is moving south from Kerulun River in southeastern Outer Mongolia.

Shore, enter the North Manchuria region!"

"Now that it has reached the Wuma River in the Lesser Khingan Mountains and the Yichun area, the Kwantung Army and the Manchukuo local garrison in northern Manchuria are unable to stop its advancing speed and have been hit hard. According to the direction of its march, intelligence

The department has judged that the independent division troops of this department are most likely heading towards the Far East battlefield!"

"In addition, the intelligence department has found out that the unit is designated as a corps directly under the independent division. The corps commander is Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the independent division. Information from the intelligence department shows that the corps is a unit directly commanded by Tang Qiuli.

The number one main force of the Independent Division has participated in the battles against the Soviet Army in Outer Mongolia, the British Army in the East Indies, and the Imperial Army in the Indo-China Peninsula. It is well-equipped, the soldiers are well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong!"

"But what the intelligence department is confused about is why the corps directly under the independent division did not join the battlefield in Manchuria, but traveled nearly a thousand kilometers to the Far East. The intelligence department suspected whether it was a conspiracy of the China devil Tang Qiuli. Once they got the information,

Report to the commander immediately and ask the commander to make a decision!"

This time, the intelligence department of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force did not have nothing to do. It has a relatively detailed grasp of the actions of the directly affiliated corps commanded by Zhao Yuhe. This is not surprising. There are more than 20 mechanized brigades and 30 directly affiliated corps.

More than 50,000 troops swept across the northern Manchuria area in a mighty manner. It was obviously unrealistic to hide the huge movement from the eyes and ears of the Japanese military intelligence system.

Tang Qiuli's order to Zhao Yuhe did not include any order to conceal the whereabouts of the directly affiliated regiments. It was impossible to conceal them, so just attack them with great fanfare!

This sudden bad news made Prince Zai Ren, who was already worried, even more unable to calm down. He immediately threw out of his mind the idea of ​​having a fruitless negotiation with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the cabinet.

With instinctive intuition, Prince Zai Ren could conclude that the most elite regiment under Tang Qiuli's command was coming towards him, with the purpose of dispatching troops to the Far East of the empire and leaving the Far East region forever!

As for whether the suspicion of the intelligence department of the Far East Expedition Army is the conspiracy of the China devil, in Prince Zai Ren's view, it is really a pig-headed analysis. In the Liaoxi and Western Manchuria areas of the Manchurian battlefield, the independent division troops that surrounded the main force of the Kwantung Army were

, had an advantage in terms of military strength, why did Tang Qiuli invest his directly affiliated corps into the battlefield in Manchuria?

Prince Zai Ren believed that this sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire had the appetite to swallow not only Manchuria, but also the Far East and the Korean Peninsula. Liu Tiehan's army, which faced him, had more than 700,000 troops, but he wanted to swallow his own in one bite.

There are more than 500,000 people, but they still don’t have such good teeth.

When more than 400,000 troops from the corps directly under the Independent Division joined the Far East battlefield, the situation was different. The total strength of the Independent Division assembled in the Far East reached about 1.2 million, which was against its own more than 50 troops.

With a force of 10,000 troops, it can completely form a military advantage in encirclement!

The Far East will not be protected. This is the conclusion that Prince Zai Ren came to soberly. Although it is painful, it is very realistic. "We should consider the issue of dispatching troops to the Far East to withdraw from the Far East!" He thought sadly, but that's how.

Withdrawing from the Far East battlefield is the biggest problem. That damn Liu Tiehan will not let him go. How to escape is definitely the biggest problem!

However, although he had already thought about quitting in his heart, on the surface, Zai Ren did not show it at all. He consulted Chief of Staff Yamaguchi: "Yamaguchi-san, do you think that the most elite regiment under Tang Qiuli's command will appear?"

What is the purpose of being in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains area of ​​northern Manchuria?"

Chief of Staff Yamaguchi did not rush to answer. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the military map and he was thinking hard. As the Chief of Staff of the Far East Expeditionary Force, he has the responsibility to provide the commander with correct judgment. A single word can determine the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers.

He couldn't be careless. In an instant, countless possibilities were running through his mind. It was really draining his efforts and the pressure was huge!

Ten minutes later, Chief of Staff Yamaguchi suddenly turned around and said affirmatively: "Your Excellency, Commander, the headquarters has judged that the corps directly under the Independent Division is coming towards us. According to the following, the current location of the enemy's troops is in the north.

The Uma River in Manchuria, the Yichun line, and further east, beyond the Manchurian border, is Birobidzhan in the Far East. From Birobidzhan you can reach the western foot of the Kukan Mountains, where the rear base of the Imperial Far East Expedition Force is located!

"

"From this, it is not difficult to conclude that the corps directly under the independent division wants to penetrate a long distance and insert itself behind the imperial army, and form a front-to-back pincer attack on the imperial dispatched army with the east-pointing troops of the independent division to the west of the Breya Mountains.

If this is the case, the Empire's Far East dispatched troops will only be sent to the West

There is only one way to withdraw from Manchuria, and we will fall into the trap that Tang Qiuli set in advance. His several corps in western Manchuria will quickly surround them after the end of the Liaoxi and Western Manchu campaigns. By then, we will

In the Beiman area, we are surrounded on several sides!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is just my personal inference, for your reference only!" Chief of Staff Yamaguchi was analyzing with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He was shuddering at the terrible conclusion he had drawn!

Prince Zai Ren nodded approvingly, with an unusually calm expression, "Yamaguchi-kun, your judgment is correct. The Empire's Far East dispatched troops cannot win on the battlefield in the Far East. This is a fact, a fact we have to admit, so from now on,

Starting now, all troops of the dispatched army will conduct a purposeful operational retreat!"

"Retreat?" Chief of Staff Yamaguchi was stunned. He spends time in the headquarters every day and is well aware of all the battles happening on the front line. As far as the current situation of the battlefield west of the Breya Mountains is concerned, it will be difficult for the Far East dispatched troops to retreat.

, that Liu Tiehan's troops were holding on tightly, not to mention where to retreat?

"Commander, I would like to take the liberty of asking, where are we going to evacuate?" Chief of Staff Yamaguchi had to ask clearly. Even he was confused, let alone the commanders at all levels below.

Prince Zai Ren stood up, walked to the map, and said: "The target of the retreat in the first stage is the eastern foothills of the Kuka Mountains, and the target in the second stage is Neshe on Sakhalin Island. Don't forget, the entire Sakhalin

The island is now under the control of the Japanese Empire. There are more than 10,000 imperial troops stationed on the island. More importantly, there are also a large number of supplies. After the Far East dispatched troops withdraw to Sakhalin, they can return to the mainland by sea!

"

Chief of Staff Yamaguchi's eyes lit up and he said with trembling hands: "Your Excellency Commander, you are really far-sighted. The foothold you chose is definitely beyond everyone's expectations, including that China devil Tang Qiuli. No matter how cunning he is,

It may be judged that the Empire's Far East Dispatch Troops will not withdraw to Manchuria, but will withdraw from Sakhalin Island, and the Ministry of Staff has great admiration!"

Faced with the generous words of praise from his subordinates, Prince Zai Ren gave a wry smile and said lonelyly: "Any foresight is nothing more than a helpless move. By doing this, although the empire temporarily lost the entire Far East region, it was able to save the Far East dispatches."

With the blood of the army, one day I will make a comeback!"

After Chief of Staff Yamaguchi calmed down, he hesitated to speak. Prince Zai Ren noticed his expression and looked over inquiringly.
