"Economic blockade. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hirohito frowned and said, "Can it have an effect?" According to intelligence, there are already power plants, coal chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, iron and steel plants, arsenals and other industrial facilities in Dameishan, and there are also coal mines and iron mines, which is almost a complete small industrial manufacturing base. ”

"Of course it works." Hideki Tojo said, "Although Dameishan has built a series of modern factories, but it is still far from its own industrial system, not to mention anything else, only in all kinds of industrial equipment is an indispensable consumable, motor, Dameishan can not manufacture itself, if we can achieve an effective blockade, to ensure that no motor flows into Dameishan, at most less than half a year, all the factories in Dameishan have to stop." ”

After a pause, Hideki Tojo continued: "This is just the motor, in addition to the motor and cables, lathe tools, grinding wheels, drill bits, etc., these consumables, none of Dameishan can produce by itself, if the blockade line can play a role, Dameishan's industrial manufacturing capacity will soon be exhausted." ”

"Sodax." Hirohito could only nod yes, because he suddenly found that there was no way to refute it.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the sweeping operation against Dameishan was a fiasco, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the improper command of Kawabe Shozo, but the connivance of Nishio Shouzo is also a reason that cannot be ignored, so Nishio Shouzo is no longer suitable to stay in the post of commander of the Central China Army, and the old minister suggested that he be transferred back to the country to serve." ”

"Yes." Hirohito nodded and said, "Then transfer him back to China as the director of education." ”

"Hello." Xianyuan Gong Zairen paused heavily, and said, "So, regarding the successor to the commander of the Central China Army, what does Your Majesty think of this guy?" ”

Hirohito groaned and said, "Uncle Tsugihiko? ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "Although Twist Yan was frivolous in France, even after returning to China, he jumped out and was difficult to do, but since the fiasco of the first sweep of Damei Mountain, he was much calmer, especially in the Battle of Wuhan, the imperial army was able to win the final victory, and the bold penetration of the second army of Twist Yan is inseparable. ”

Terauchi Shouichi and Tojo Hideki also echoed, on the one hand, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko has indeed made great progress recently, if Nishio Shouzo is dismissed at this time, there is indeed no more suitable successor than Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko, on the other hand, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko is a child of the royal family, this kind of flowery sedan chair is carried by everyone, why should they stop it?

Seeing that the three army dignitaries were all in favor, Hirohito nodded and said: "Okay, then appoint Emperor Tsugihiko as the next commander of the Central China Army, but after Uncle Tsugihiko leaves, the commander of the Second Army stationed in Wuhan is vacant, who should be chosen?" Uncle Huang and Terauchi-san and Tojo-san, do you have a suitable candidate? ”

Terauchi Shou glanced at the Xianyuan Palace, and saw that the latter had no intention of speaking, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, Itagaki-san has recovered from his injury, and the minister thinks that Itagaki-san will be the commander of the Second Army, which can be described as the expectation of everyone. ”

"Yo Si." Hirohito nodded and said, "That's Itagaki." ”

(Dividing Line)

After being wounded in the Battle of Jiujiang, Seishiro Itagaki was immediately sent to the naval hospital in Shanghai for treatment, and then remained in Shanghai to recuperate.

Today, Itagaki Seishiro's injuries have long been healed, but at this time, the Eleventh Army has already been abolished, and Itagaki Seishiro, who is the commander of the Eleventh Army, has not received a new order from the base camp, so he can only stay idle in the naval hospital in Shanghai.

Just yesterday, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko happened to go to Shanghai to participate in an event about Sino-Japanese goodwill, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko is not only a child of the Japanese royal family, but also a senior general, so as a special guest to attend such an event, the specific time of the event is determined to be tomorrow morning, idle is also idle, Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko came to the Naval Hospital to visit Itagaki Seishiro.

The high-level ward where Seishiro Itagaki lives not only has a bedroom, a study, but even a small living room.

Itagaki Seishiro had heard that Higashikurenomiya Tsuhiko was a good beauty and a tea ceremony, and he couldn't get a beauty in his eagerness, but it was not difficult to get some tea, because the director of the naval hospital happened to be his fellow villager, and he liked the tea ceremony very much, so Itagaki Seishiro borrowed a set of tea sets from the dean of the township, plus a few taels of West Lake Longjing.

Seishiro Itagaki is a pure martial artist, and he doesn't know what tea ceremony is, so he will inevitably be busy when making tea.

Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko smiled slightly, and immediately took the initiative to speak: "Itagaki-san, let's come with me." ”

Itachi Seishiro smiled, and handed the tea set in his hand to Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko, Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko's tea ceremony attainments are many times better than Itagaki Seishiro, a set of tea art process, it is really like flowing water, just looking at it is an incomparable enjoyment, Itagaki Seishiro almost looked stupid.

"Doso." Higashikurenomiya poured the tea, and made a gesture again.

Seishiro Itagaki picked up a small cup of tea and drank it all, but he really didn't taste anything.

Dongjiu Gong Twist Yan took a sip and tasted it for a long time, before he sincerely admired and said: "Good tea, this is the best West Lake Longjing I have ever drunk, if I am not mistaken, this should be the tribute produced by the eighteen old tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple under the Shifeng Mountain on the shore of West Lake, I have heard its name for a long time, but it is the first time to taste it." ”

Seeing Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko sitting opposite and tasting the tea ceremony, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly felt a little ashamed.

At that moment, Seishiro Itagaki said sincerely: "His Royal Highness is very knowledgeable, and he has also studied Chinese tea culture, and he admires him humbly. ”

"Itagaki Sangyan is heavy, Chinese tea culture has a long history, broad and profound, I am just a little dabbling, how dare I say that there is deep research." Hearing this, Dongjiu Palace Twist Yan waved his hand, I have to say that since the failure of the last sweep of Damei Mountain, this little devil is really like a different person, not only has he become stable, but also has become extremely modest, but this kind of East Jiu Er Palace Twist Yan is really terrifying, isn't it?

Such a modest and knowledgeable Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko made Itagaki Seishiro more and more ashamed.

Fortunately, Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko did not show off the tea ceremony anymore, but turned the topic back to the military.

Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko said: "Itagaki-san, the second sweep of Dameishan has failed, and it is still a fiasco, you must have heard the news, right?" ”

"Hello." Itagaki Seishiro paused, "I just heard about the lowly position. ”

Higashikurenomiya said: "But I don't know, what is Itagaki-san's judgment on this? ”

"This ......" Seishiro Itagaki hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation, so it's really not good to judge rashly." ”

Higashikuremiya said, "Itagaki-san is too modest. ”

Seishiro Itagaki just smiled, but he didn't deny it.

In fact, compared to when he just arrived as the commander of the 11th Army, Itagaki Seishiro is indeed much more modest, you must know that when he first came, Itagaki Seishiro was really blind, and he didn't put anyone in his eyes at all, as for Xu Rui, he was not reassured by him, until after the defeat, Itagaki Seishiro finally began to face Xu Rui's ability, and during the period of recuperation, Itagaki Seishiro even went through his experience of fighting Xu Rui from the beginning, only to find that he was not unjustly defeated.

Higashikurenomiya said again: "Itagaki-san, you don't have to be too restrained, we are just friends gathering and chatting, so you don't have to have any worries about what you say." ”

Higashikure Palace Twist Hitoshi has said this point, and Itagaki Seishiro will no longer hold it, if it is held again, it will not give face to the royal family of Higashikure Palace Twisthiko, Japan is an imperial country, and the royal family has great power, so no one can offend the royal family, especially the royal children of the East Kure Palace Twisthiko who hold real power.

Seishiro Itagaki said: "Your Highness, the humble position thinks that Kawabe is too busy with the defeat of the three parties, and he is too eager to prove himself. ”

"Sodais, Itagaki-san's opinion coincides with mine." Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko nodded, and said, "Next, what is Itagaki-san's opinion on how to deal with it?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki said: "I can't talk about Takami, but I have a few superficial opinions. ”

Higashikurenomiya Tsukihiko poured a small cup of tea for Itagaki Seishiro and asked, "Would you like to hear it." ”

Seishiro Itagaki said: "Now that the climate of the Dameishan Independent Regiment has been established, a small-scale sweep is no longer enough to wipe it out, but limited by financial resources, the empire may not be able to organize a large-scale offensive in a short period of time, so the most effective strategy is the cage policy pursued by Tada-san in North China." ”

"Cage policy?" Higashikurenomiya said, "Military blockade? ”

"It's not just a military blockade." Seishiro Itagaki shook his head and said, "It's an economic blockade, as well as a political blockade. ”

Higashikurenomiya frowned and said: "I can understand the military blockade and economic blockade, but the cage policy can also carry out a political blockade of the enemy, but people didn't expect it, is this really okay?" ”

"Yes, indeed." Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "If the cage policy is implemented effectively, it can indeed isolate and suppress the enemy politically, for example, we divide the entire Central China region into small pieces through the cage policy, and then carry out strict monitoring, once it is found that the people in a certain area have dealings with the Dameishan Independent Regiment, they will be punished immediately, so that over time, the people of Central China will begin to hate the Dameishan Independent Regiment, because the Dameishan Independent Regiment can only bring them death and suffering, so, The Dameishan Independent Regiment was also politically isolated and blocked! ”

"Sodesnay." Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko suddenly said, "In this way, it is really possible to achieve a political blockade." ”

As soon as the words fell, the adjutant of the Higashikure Palace suddenly walked in quickly, and said suddenly: "Your Highness, the base camp is in an emergency!" (To be continued.) )
