"How dare you collude with the Kwantung Army?"

"Collusion? You go and ask the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, to see if he admits it or not? Besides, what if I collude, I am a military senator, and I have the responsibility of inquiring and senating on the military intelligence of the empire! Horiyoshi was confident, "Your Highness has repeatedly opposed all kinds of war policies against the United States, and bothered to excuse the enemy, you have received political donations from the United States, right?" ”

King Fushimi Gong was so angry that his body trembled, and he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, only to see him clench his fists and take a step forward, as if he was about to breathe fire in his eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Want to fight? Your Highness, don't forget, you are 68 this year, and you will be 69 after the New Year, and I am 6 years younger than you...... Besides, I'm in good health, and I haven't been hospitalized yet! ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six couldn't stand it anymore and scolded: "Enough! Hori-kun, the more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes. ”

Horiyoshi put on his hat and walked away, and when he left, he threw down a sentence: "I won't resign, I'm waiting for the Military Command Department to remove me from my post as the acting commander!" As if intent on stimulation, he accentuated the word "acting on his behalf".

Although Inoue Narumi couldn't hear what he was saying outside, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he knew that there was a lot of argument inside, and his eyes widened when he saw Horikichi slamming the door - he hadn't personally experienced the essentials of what it was, and now he finally saw it. What's more, a group of staff officers under Chiaki Matsuda had been arguing and shouting outside and had different opinions, but when they saw Horiyoshi coming out, they immediately stood up and saluted silently, and shouted in unison: "Sir! ”。

Hori Yiji only waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Su Fang is very weak, and if he can't fight, at most he will find trouble with the Kwantung Army in the border area, which is just a trivial matter." ”

"What sir?"

"Today I will go back to the warship, as long as I am still the commander of the combined fleet, I will take the fleet with me!"

"Yes!" Everyone sent Horikichi to the car and left one after another.

Then it didn't take long for Inoue Narumi to see Ito Junichi, the henchman of King Bogong of Fushimi Palace, rushing from a distance with a group of people, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"His Royal Highness was so angry with Hori that his old illness relapsed, and he fainted again, so he should be sent to the hospital immediately."

Inoue Narumi finally sent Fushimi Miyahiro Gong to the hospital together with Yamamoto, and on the way he tried to find out what Horikichi said inside, which provoked Fushimi Miyahiro Gong to be in such a state.

"Don't ask more, all in all, the two sides have completely turned their faces, eventful ......" Yamamoto, who witnessed the whole process, sighed and didn't want to say more.

"Has the commander of the Combined Fleet been decided?" Inoue Narumi expressed his concerns, "I think this group of officers and staff officers are desperate for Horikichi, and the replacement won't cause trouble, right?" ”

"Let's help control it, everyone will give each other some more face, and things will be easier to pass, Shaozhuang faction, that's it."

"What about the mobile fleet candidates? Tsukahara is suspended, and even if he is restored, he will no longer stay in the fleet with his personality. ”

"You want to go?"

"Me?" Inoue Narumi smiled bitterly, "What am I going to do in this troubled water?" Look at the appearance of Tsunoda and Nishimura, how can I control them. ”

"I guess it's Ozawa's turn, he fought very well with the fleet in Germany, and the battles of Newfoundland and Cape Verde were very bold, and he beat the Anglo-American Atlantic Fleet to only half a breath." Yamamoto sighed, "The German Army is really strong, two American divisions have a comprehensive firepower advantage and can't win a mere 5,000 German soldiers, and in the end they are forced to surrender - this is really a big joke in the world!" ”

"The U.S. Navy is okay, the Army is just a waste, and it won't fight without planes, artillery, and tanks." Inoue Narumi commented disdainfully, "Blind to such a large land and resources, 5 million tons of materials, if you say no, there will be no more, if you put us here, more than a dozen lieutenant generals and above will die, right?" ”

"There's no way, who makes the family rich."

"You say, is it possible to achieve the 50% transit tax proposed by Horikichi?" Inoue Chengmei had an idea, "If the Americans really agree, we can't take it?" ”

"Pick it up, why don't you pick it up?" Yamamoto said without hesitation, "Why don't you agree to such a good thing?" Don't say half of it, I can say yes to a third. My classmate is tricky, he robbed something and was vibrating, he really convinced him, although he graduated with a higher ranking than me, but I didn't see him like this in the military academy back then. ”

"That's because he has been a businessman for 8 years, and he has no business and no treachery......"

Yamamoto thought so: "Why don't you go to the company for training before selecting senior generals in the future?" Only when business is done well can you lead the troops to war. ”

"It's like you're the one who gambles well to fight a war."

"Hey, when you talk about gambling money, I remember that I lost a house in a bet with Horikiyoshi, and during that time, I paid my salary every month to pay off my debts, and my life was so poor that I almost couldn't survive......"

"Hahahaha, you also have times when you lose your bet......"

In Moscow, after listening to the news of the negotiations with Japan conveyed by People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov, Stalin was also furious.

"I'm going to give these little Japanese minkos a little color to see ......"

Kuznetsov, the deputy chief of the General Staff in charge of the Navy, did not dare to squeak, the Pacific Fleet was very weak, there were only two 9,000-ton light cruisers Kalinin and Kaganovich in total, and their combat effectiveness was low, so they couldn't beat any Japanese heavy cruisers at all, and there were 12 other destroyers - during the day, this bombing lost 6 destroyers, which is equivalent to half of the Pacific Fleet is gone!?

"The Japanese army also threatened to attack Vladivostok and Soviet Port, and our comrades saw the battle plan and campaign map drawn up by Japan, but they did not know whether the news was true."

Kuznetsov was shocked when he saw it: "That's right, the Japanese army has a thorough grasp of our intelligence. ”

"How sure are the Far Eastern troops attacking the Kwantung Army?" Stalin turned his gaze to the Chief of the General Staff, Vasilevsky.

The latter sighed and asked, "To what extent do you plan to attack?" ”

"For example, destroy 3-4 divisions of the opposing side."

"That's going to have to send 400,000 troops, and now, the weather is getting colder, and the Manchurian front line has begun to enter ice and snow, and the defenders are greatly advantageous, and to achieve this goal, our army may need to lose 10-150,000 troops."

"So what do you say? Comrade Vasilevsky ......" Stalin raised his voice abruptly and said unhappily, "just watching Japan take more than 600,000 tons of US aid for itself?" You know what that means? ”

"I know, I am well aware of your thoughts and determination, my opinion is to stop the offensive in the Central Asian direction, divert forces to the Far Eastern direction, and concentrate 1 million troops to fight ......" Vasilevsky said this sentence with a blank face.

"1 million troops? Are you kidding? Stalin frowned, "I remember that Comrade Zhukov didn't fight so hard during the Battle of Nomenkhan." ”

"The time is different, and of course the number of troops needs to be recalculated. In the Battle of Nomenhan, our army's strength advantage was 2.5 times that of the enemy, and the artillery, tanks, and aircraft were more than 3 times that of the enemy, even so, in the end, the casualties of the two sides were basically close (in fact, the casualties of the Red Army were half more than that of the Japanese), and now our army has repeatedly transferred troops and technical equipment from the Far East, and the Kwantung Army has continuously increased its strength - the comrades on the intelligence front said that they got hundreds of tanks and assault artillery, as well as Bf-109 and Fw-190 fighters commonly used by the German army, The balance of power needs to be greatly strengthened in order to return to the period of the Battle of Normenheim. ”

"Tanks? Aren't their tanks very ordinary? The T-26 beat them all the way to the bust. Stalin was dissatisfied with Vasilevsky's analysis and criticized, "Don't be frightened by the enemy. ”

"But this time they got a lot of tanks No. 4 and T-34, and even Tiger, all of which were given by the Germans." Vasilevsky spread his hands, "As for Japan's own tanks, they have long been selling to the Chinese in a different way, and they also know which crispy things are not good." ”

"What are you going to do with this? Verbal protest alone is weak, imperialism will soon gain an inch, and it must be fought back by force! ”

"I think the Japanese are a good proposal, 50% is too high, let them take 10-15%, and then notify the United States to increase its efforts. In the final analysis, Japan is only looking at supplies and has no real intention of going to war with us, and I recommend patience in the current difficult situation. ”

"You!" Stalin was furious, "This is not something you should think about, you can just be responsible for fighting the enemy militarily." ”

"Either we don't fight, or if we want to fight, we will transfer the troops from Central Asia back, and wait for a one-time assault in March next year, and strive to eat the whole of North Manchuria."

Stalin waved his hand in disbelief and motioned for the other to stand back. The reason is clear: The war in Central Asia is now going on to a fierce juncture, and the troops under Zhukov's command have surrounded the 100,000 troops of the German Central Asia Army Group and are struggling to solve it, and the war is stalemate and stalemate. It is not possible to draw troops from other sources. After the end of the muddy winter period, the German army continued to attack in the central battlefield, the front had advanced to the Perm-Ufa line, and the defenders were relying on the city to resist step by step, although it is not clear why the German army did not turn around in the north and south direction for a long time, and did not increase troops in the Central Asian theater, but at least the forces in other theaters could not be moved, otherwise there would be a global collapse.

From the analysis of weather conditions, the German army will fight at least until the end of December - that means that the Red Army will hold out for at least half a month, now the fighting is very tense everywhere, due to the lack of troops, the Red Army defense line has shrunk again and again, the important port city of Murmansk in the north has also fallen into the hands of the Finns and the German Army Group North, and now the Red Army is resisting in Arkhangelsk, which is relying on the White Sea coast, and once it is lost, the German army can drive straight into it after the beginning of spring next year.

"Do you want to send a telegram to Comrade Zhukov? He had been to the Far East and had extensive experience in fighting against Japan. Kuznetsov proposed.
