Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2968 The Japanese Countermeasures

It's useless to plead. The big bosses in the Japanese base camp are well aware of the strength of the imperial army in the occupied area of ​​the Southwest Pacific. The most powerful force is Australia, with more than 260,000 people. But in South Australia

Nearly 100,000 people were lost, and the others gathered in northern Australia. What they had to face were hundreds of thousands of elite troops from independent divisions, as well as powerful sea and air firepower. Self-protection was not enough.

In other occupied areas, the maximum strength of the Imperial Army is only 150,000 or 60,000 people. The current plan is to strictly order the Imperial Army to defend the area and hold on to the death, and then figure out a good strategy, but where is the good strategy?

, no one knows that the biggest weakness of the Japanese Empire is the lack of soldiers.

Faced with His Majesty the Emperor's pleading tone and extremely miserable look, the ministers could only cry bitterly and blame themselves for their incompetence. What other tricks could they come up with to save the crisis?

All the imperial troops in the attack area should be withdrawn to the mainland. As much as they can be withdrawn, it is better than being eaten up one by one by independent divisions with superior strength in areas separated by the sea.

This was used to preserve the vitality of the empire for future counterattacks, but this meant that the Empire of Japan would be forced to give up the occupied territories of the Southwest Pacific, including Australia, which it had finally obtained after years of bloody battles with the Allies. Likewise, this

This is the bottom line that His Majesty the Emperor cannot touch. If you take something into your mouth and spit it out again, can His Majesty the Emperor agree?

His Majesty’s temper is unknown to those present here. What he eats in his mouth will not be vomited out until it is beaten to death. The proposal to abandon the entire Southwest Pacific Empire-occupied area is similar to digging up the ancestral graves in His Majesty’s home?

Emperor Hirohito's pitiful pleas and the cries of the ministers made the solemn palace conference room look like a funeral hall. The palace attendants and female officials who did not know the inside story were panicked and the sky collapsed.

It's just like coming down. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor has passed away?

"That's enough!" Suddenly, a very discordant shout came out. The ministers raised their hazy tearful eyes and looked over, seeing that it was His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother, the former Chief of General Staff of the base camp, and the current Commander of the Imperial Home Defense.

The deputy commander of the Ministry, Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, who has been dormant for a long time and is very low-key, is looking at the ministers with raised eyebrows.

When everyone was at a loss what to do, Prince Zai Ren jumped out. These ministers all felt a strange feeling, but also felt a very disgusting feeling in their hearts. Who are you? For these outstanding achievements,

Are the respected big guys in the imperial world scolding you like this?

Zai Ren ignored the countless hidden meanings in the eyes that looked at him and continued to speak impassionedly: "At this moment when the empire's southwest Pacific occupied area is facing a crisis, what your majesty needs is to come up with good strategies to deal with the crisis.

Rather than just crying here, what is the difference between you and a woman? How can you discuss state affairs when you are in a mess?"

Well, these words of Zai Ren knocked all the big guys in the base camp to the ground. It was not just one or two people who were offended, but a large group of people. Prince Zai Ren’s old enemy and political rival Koichi Minai,

But he didn't want to hear it.

Wiping away the tears on his face, Minai Guang said in a conspiratorial tone: "It's because we are incompetent and can't share your Majesty's worries. According to His Majesty, you have a good strategy to resolve the current crisis in the Empire's occupied area in the Southwest Pacific.

?To share your Majesty’s worries, I am ready to listen to His Majesty’s clever ideas?”

Minai Koichi's words were very sour, because what Zai Ren said just now was too hurtful to everyone. He blamed others for not being able to control himself, but even himself included, naturally he couldn't swallow this tone.

Zai Ren ignored Koichi Minai, but faced his brother the emperor, and said solemnly: "Brother, I have some suggestions, but they may involve the fundamental interests of the empire, so I don't know if I can put them forward at this time.

Is it appropriate for the times?”

Tang Qiuli mobilized millions of troops and launched a sudden all-out attack on Japan's southwest Pacific occupied area. This sap had already knocked Hirohito out of control. When he heard his brother's words, his eyes suddenly shone.

, as long as it can solve the current crisis, why is it inappropriate?

"Zairen, if you have any suggestions or suggestions, it doesn't matter. As long as it can resolve the current crisis, I will do my best to resolve it. Let me speak freely! Even if you are wrong, I will forgive you!" Hirohito!

He urged hurriedly, his expectation was palpable, he knew that his brother was always full of wits and tricks, maybe he really had some clever tricks up his sleeve?

Although Prince Zai Ren behaved uniquely in the midst of the mourning and successfully attracted the attention of the Emperor to himself, in fact, Zai Ren was also uneasy in his heart. He knew that what he was about to accept

If we come down, it might cause an uproar.

"Your Majesty, colleagues!" Zai Ren said carefully, "For the current plan, the empire has no choice but to abandon other occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific and withdraw all imperial troops to the Australian continent...

"

Before Zai Ren finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito roared angrily: "Zai Ren, do you know what you are talking about? Give up the Empire's other occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific. Thanks to your words, those are the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

, fought with countless lives and blood from the hands of the Americans and British, you actually suggested that I give up these, you..."

At this moment, Emperor Hirohito was so angry that he stared at his brother fiercely, as if he was about to fall out of favor immediately, "Hahaha!" Prince Zaihi smiled bitterly, and he knew that his brother's virtues as emperor were worth it.

I didn't intend to vomit out the stuff, but the current situation is that I don't even want to vomit it up.

"Brother, please calm down, please allow me to finish my words!" Prince Zai Ren said very sincerely: "As we all know, the empire's military strength in the occupied area of ​​the Southwest Pacific is seriously insufficient. It's not that I don't have fighting spirit and determination, just in China right now.

Judging from the forces deployed by the devil and the battle reports we have received, please forgive me for being blunt, it will be difficult for the empire to defend the current occupied area!"

No one, including Emperor Hirohito, spoke out against Zai Ren's words, because this was the truth. For example, on the island of Sumatra, the imperial garrison numbered only 150,000, and according to the commander of the imperial garrison on the island, the 57th Division

Lieutenant General Nakai, the regimental division commander, was at

The telegram said, “The China Independent Division dispatched at least 400,000 troops, at least 500 combat aircraft, dozens of warships, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of large-caliber artillery for the landing operations.

Provide fire support!”

"A fully-staffed brigade of more than 10,000 people from our division was engaged in anti-landing operations at the beachhead. Under the attack of the unprecedentedly powerful sea, air and ground firepower of the landing force of the China Independent Division, in less than thirty minutes

Inside, the casualties exceeded four-fifths, and all positions were destroyed. Now, I have ordered the main force of the garrison to retreat to the central area of ​​Kalimantan Island and prepare to form a second line of defense!"

This is the telegram from the commander of the Nakai Division more than half an hour ago. Now, more than half an hour has passed. It is still unclear what the battle situation is on Kalimantan, but everyone knows that the situation is by no means optimistic.

During the battle for the beachhead, the Imperial Army's casualties were so heavy. Once the China Independent Division successfully landed, the base camp didn't know what would happen next, but it was certain that the situation would be worse.

"Zairen, please continue talking!" Emperor Hirohito's face looked a little better and he said dullly.

"Yes! Brother Emperor!" Zai Ren respectfully agreed, "It is unwise to do something when you know you can't do it. If you insist on defending knowingly that you can't do it, it will only increase the casualties of the imperial army.

Within the region, the Australian mainland is the most important, and Zain does not need to elaborate on the reasons for this!"

At this point, Emperor Hirohito was not included. The big bosses had already heard some clues and couldn't help but nod. In fact, they should temporarily avoid the offensive edge of the independent division troops and withdraw the Imperial Army troops from various places to avoid causing damage.

Many of the big guys present are aware of this method of causing greater losses.

However, because this is the psychological bottom line of His Majesty the Emperor, no one dares to touch this bad luck. Now, from the mouth of Prince Zai Ren, it is also in line with the thoughts of the big bosses, so naturally they will not object.

However, I agree, but no one admires Prince Zai Ren's quick wit. Just now, His Majesty the Emperor burst into tears and scolded some of the best generals in the empire as almost idiots. The ministers felt very uncomfortable. There was no other way.

No, if I didn't have any scruples, I would have taken it out long ago.

Alas, who would let Zai Ren be the biological brother of His Majesty the Emperor? This is a natural advantage. Even if he says something wrong, he doesn’t have to worry about losing his head, so he can naturally make suggestions without any scruples!

Prince Zai Ren was already immersed in his speech. He also noticed the complicated thoughts of some generals. He continued to talk: "Compared with Australia, the other occupied areas of the empire are not important. As long as Australia is preserved,

The empire still has a chance to counterattack!"

"If this is the case, the total number of Imperial Army troops withdrawn to Australia from the six occupied areas of the Southwest Pacific Empire will be more than 800,000. Add in the strength of the Imperial Army stationed in Australia, and the total number will reach one million.

With such a large number of people, the empire's heavy military group can completely engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the China Independent Division on the vast land of Australia. In the end, it is not necessarily known who will win!"

At this point, Zai Ren's words were rarely understood. A group of senior generals couldn't help but nodded frequently. It was indeed the best strategy to deal with the crisis at present. Instead of being defeated one by one by the superior force of the China Independent Division in the scattered occupied areas, it was finally defeated.

If you lose, why not withdraw to Australia and assemble heavy troops? You will definitely be able to fight again!

"Zairin, so I have to give up these occupied areas?" Although he was already leaning towards Zain's method in his heart, Emperor Hirohito still said with a twisted face in heartache.
