Age of Conquest Reborn

Seeing three high-ranking army and navy bosses who stomped their feet and shook the imperial world, walking towards him with smiles on their faces, General Minamino's pupils shrank. He was not confused and knew that these three people were usually high-minded.

What did Yu Ding's people do to him?

The two words "Ask for a plan!" must be about withdrawing troops from the Australian mainland. They have no charter in their hearts. In General Minano's mind, all the big guys in the empire's base camp are good at power and deception, and are good at intrigues and strategies.

A person with extremely mediocre vision and military ability is not suitable to be an emperor, but he deserves to be a qualified politician. ↖

To be fair, Admiral Minamino only admires one and a half of all the senior generals in the imperial world, and half of them are former chiefs of general staff of the base camp, commanders of the empire's Far East Expedition Forces, and current deputy commanders-in-chief of the empire's homeland defense headquarters.

Prince Zain was an official, but he only admired his military commanding ability.

The other one was the fallen Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Admiral Yamamoto Go*. He had sincere admiration for Admiral Yamamoto and was willing to submit to his subordinates. He and Admiral Yamamoto not only had a close personal relationship, but also

On the spiritual level, they all have a high degree of commonality, they appreciate and understand each other, they are each other's confidants, and they are each other's bosom friends.

In the imperial world, the only one who could allow himself to be willing to be a subordinate and serve as chief of staff was General Yamamoto. Others, including Prince Zairen, walked towards him with smiles on their faces and a flattering look on their faces.

The three people who came over couldn't do it.

It was the Army that was about to withdraw from the Australian battlefield, so General Miuchi Yoneuchi was the first to speak. He said very politely: "Minano-kun, we have always known that Minamino-kun is the number one think tank in the imperial world. Now, how can we get back from the flames of war?"

The task of withdrawing more than one million German soldiers from the fierce battlefield in Australia is an order issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Nagano-kun, Yamazaki-kun, I and I all want to hear Minamino-kun's opinion!"

Koichi Mineuchi's posture was definitely low enough, with the intention of asking for advice. Nagano and Yamazaki also nodded hurriedly. The three top bosses of the Imperial Army and Navy all asked him for advice. In the eyes of others, this

, it is definitely the highest honor, what a face-saving thing!

But General Minamino didn't think so. On the contrary, he still despised him very much in his heart, "a mediocre person with nothing to do but a job!" After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "Please forgive me for my incompetence. You also know that I am good at strategic planning, but short at strategic planning.

As for the specific military operations, as for how to withdraw troops from the Australian battlefield, I am not very smart and can't give any advice. I'm afraid I've disappointed the three of you!"

"Although His Majesty said, 'My opinion is his decision,' Minamino is self-aware. That is His Majesty's wrong love. He looks down on Minamino. I'm sorry, I still have to hand over the military affairs of the North American Combat Command, so I won't waste the three people."

It’s time to say goodbye!”

General Minamino walked away, leaving behind Koichi Minai, Osamu Nagano and Bin Yamazaki, staring at each other, feeling quite uncomfortable. They were even more disgusted with Minamino, who was already very popular. For a long time, they were grumpy.

General Yamazaki said viciously: "The face of a villain who has succeeded! What is it?"

But getting angry can't deal with important matters. Faced with huge pressure and crisis, the three people who had always been at odds abandoned their old differences and cooperated sincerely. They discussed and studied repeatedly for several days.

It was finally decided that the navy, with the only remaining Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet as the core, would mobilize all the reserve warships from the Imperial Navy's Sasebo Fort, Yokosuka Fort, Maizuru Fort and other places, as well as the Navy's offshore patrol ships and patrol boats, etc.

The ships form an escort fleet, with Lieutenant General Okubo Jiro, the Assistant Chief of Staff of the Naval Command Department, as the commander, under unified command of the escort fleet.

As for the Army, the Army Air Force is stationed in the Fiji Islands, Northern Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and other places, and the Naval Air Force is stationed in the Iwo Jima Islands, Ogasawara Islands and other places.

The fleet formed an escort group, adopted a relay escort, and conducted air escort station after station to ensure that Imperial Army and Navy fighter planes were in the air around the clock.

All escort warships and fighter planes are under the unified command of the escort fleet commander, Lieutenant General Okubo Jiro, to ensure the unity of military orders and avoid the possibility of the army and navy air forces ostracizing and disrupting each other. The escort fleet, however, obeys the commander-in-chief of the Navy Military Command Department.

According to the instructions of General Yamazaki Bin, the Army is responsible for requisitioning troop transport ships, and the preparations to withdraw troops from Australia will not be notified to the Australian Front for the time being, so as not to shock the morale of the military.

Regarding this point, General Mitsuichi Minai did not express any objection. He knew very well that now was not the time to compete for power with the navy, and he did not have the capital to bargain. The lives of more than one million imperial soldiers still needed to be protected by the navy, and he had to fight for it.

What, it is serious to withdraw the troops safely from the Australian battlefield.

After this troop withdrawal plan was presented to Emperor Hirohito, he had no intention of reading it and could not understand it well, so he ordered General Minamino to review it. General Minamino spent several hours carefully studying the troop withdrawal plan and concluded that

It's feasible, although it's not very thorough, but it's the best that can be done at the moment.

Emperor Hirohito had unreserved trust in General Minamino. Since he said it was feasible, there was no problem. He immediately gave the imperial approval, and Japan began to prepare nervously for the withdrawal of troops from the Australian battlefield.

On the Australian battlefield, General Ito Genzaburo, the commander of the Japanese Australian Front, had no idea that His Majesty the Emperor was already preparing to withdraw troops from the Australian battlefield. He was now facing two huge pressures. One was from the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield.

Attacking from three sides, the attacks in each direction are very fierce and sharp.

In particular, the west-route attack personally commanded by the China Devil Tang Qiuli has now reached the Wyndham area on the west bank of the Victoria River. The frontline of the troops is directed towards Darwin, where the Australian Front Army Headquarters is located. This is the rhythm of bargain hunting!

The three-sided attack from the independent division troops overwhelmed the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield. They were breathless and could only stay in a defensive state. Although they shrank their troops and formed a long arc-shaped defense line, they were still in danger in the face of the three-sided attack.

.

Another huge pressure is the bad news that the main force of the Navy's combined fleet was annihilated in the Banda Sea. Admiral Ito is worried day and night. He is not worried that he will be implicated in this. Does he have a clear conscience?

Damn it, Nan Yunzhong just went his own way, leading to such bad consequences. Does it have anything to do with him?

What General Ito is worried about is the supply of weapons, ammunition and military supplies to the Australian Front from now on. This is the most deadly problem. More than one million troops are fighting fiercely with the China Independent Division troops every day, and the ammunition that needs to be consumed is

There is simply a huge amount of supplies and materials. Without a strong fleet escort, the fragile maritime logistics supply line will be cut off by the China Independent Division fleet in minutes!

The logistical supplies of the Australian Front Army are interrupted, and the Imperial Army will face the collapse of the entire front at any time. Why shrink the defense line and compete with the China Independent Division troops? If the logistical supplies are cut off, they will be finished first. Every time I think of this, General Ito is scared.

In a cold sweat, Nagumo Chuichi, who had no body left, scolded him until he died, and he couldn't rest in peace. However, he was unable to solve these two huge pressures at the moment.

For Tang Qiuli, after killing the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet and removing the biggest rock in front of him, there is basically no suspense about the final outcome of the Battle of Australia. It is just a matter of time, but

He was in no rush to launch a general attack across the board.

Now on the Australian battlefield, the Japanese army still has 130,000 to 400,000 troops. Now it is shrinking its defenses. The thickness of the Japanese troops on the defense line has reached an unprecedented density. To attack at this moment is to fight head-on, which is really unwise.

According to Tang Qiuli's plan, within three to five months, the troops continued to launch wave-like attacks. During the attack, they used superior firepower to consume a large amount of the Japanese army's effective forces, waiting for Brother Qiuquan's fleet to cut off the Japanese army.

After the maritime supply line, the Japanese army starved for half a month. I am afraid that by then, the Japanese soldiers will not even have the strength to hold a gun. In this way, the troops will win the final victory in the Battle of Australia at the minimum cost!

It was very interesting to think about Tang Qiuli secretly having fun, starving more than one million of the most elite Japanese soldiers to the point of being skinny and bones, dying of hunger, and then lying on the ground waiting to be captured. Therefore,

The requests of several corps commanders to launch a general attack on the Japanese army were all rejected, and each corps was ordered not to use forceful attacks against the Japanese troops in front of them.

Even when the troops on the Western Front reached the west bank of the Victoria River, he ordered the troops to change their previous fierce offensive and adopt a steady and slow attack. The powerful artillery groups of the Sulu Mobile Corps and the Directly Affiliated Corps went to the area every day.

The Japanese position on the other side of the river poured tens of thousands of artillery shells and took away the lives of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

Tang Qiuli enjoyed this process very much. Anyway, he was not in a hurry and had enough time. In his opinion, the more than one million Japanese soldiers on the Australian battlefield were already in his pocket and the best labor force in the vast Siberia.

The region needs too many Japanese people.

Although it was an Australian battlefield under heavy artillery fire, because the Australian Japanese army had no power to fight back, Tang Qiuli lived a very leisurely life. However, with the arrival of a top-secret intelligence, he changed his mind.

On this day, Tang Qiuli was at the division command in Wyndham City, looking through the battle progress reported by each corps. What he focused on was not how many kilometers that corps or brigade had advanced in the depth of the Japanese defense, but the troops.

of casualties.

Division Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Director of the General Staff Division Ge Zhenzhuang and Director of the Communications Division Chen Feng came to his room together. Zhao Yuhe said: "Commander, we have received top-secret information from the Intelligence Division!"
