Okamura Ningji's bean combat vehicle is the Japanese army's main use for infantry support, reconnaissance support and armored hauling of the 94 type light tank, its armor is only 6mm at the thinnest point, a bag of explosives, a bundle of grenades can be easily destroyed, a total of about 800 units were produced before the production was stopped in 1937, although the performance is not good but still in service in the Chinese battlefield, with the transfer of troops, the base camp directly ordered all the tank units to assemble back to China, ready to receive new tanks.

"But even that shouldn't be sold to Chinese, we're still enemies...... It doesn't matter if you have small arms, tanks ...... Chariot ......" Bighorn's hands were shaking.

"Smack" Okamura Ninji knocked a black flag on the Tianyuan position, ate 5 white seeds of Major General Nakanishi Sadaki in one go, and then turned his head slowly, "Why don't you sell it?" Who else do you think has a fancy to the bean chariot? Besides, how can you make money if you don't sell it? Now for the sake of money, the base camp has begun to do whatever it takes, ready to make enough money to buy advanced equipment from Germany wholeheartedly, and even the local mecha production is considering stopping production. ”

"But the new has not arrived, and the old has gone, won't it affect the battle?" Nakanishi Zhenxi asked suspiciously, "Although it will take time for the Communist Army and Yan Xishan to digest and absorb, in case it ......?"

"They're not going to attack, and then we're going to retreat faster than they can attack. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the enemy masters the tank? We have anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns, which are more than enough to deal with this mecha. Okamura sneered, "Actually, our speed is already on the slow side, and Tokyo is very dissatisfied. The Central China Front gave up more than 30 county towns in one go, relentlessly sold a large amount of munitions, reclaimed more than 20 million yen, left 2 million yuan for the troops to improve their lives, and handed over the rest -- which was vigorously praised by the base camp. The target for the first quarter of the base camp is 100 million yen. ”

"That's really...... This is really ......" Nakanishi Zhenxi held the white child, and didn't know where to fall for a long time.

"Isn't there anyone making trouble?" Dajiao said suspiciously, "These are the territories that the imperial army has worked so hard to fight, and the soldiers have paid for their lives and blood, and now they are abandoned so cheaply?" ”

"Trouble? Last time a batch of reserves was transferred...... If anyone else is not satisfied, they can continue to go to the reserves, and if they are not satisfied, get ready to go to Nanyang. Okamura Ninji smiled, "At the beginning, everyone thought that Tojo's razor was too sharp and wanted to be replaced, but it turned out that the army is now Tada Iron Hammer and Ishihara Bayonet, which is ten times more powerful than before, and the impulsive end will only make people die without a place to be buried." ”

"Hmph, the whole country is unanimous, the whole country is unanimous." Nakanishi Sadaki's face was full of annoyance, "Now it has openly become the dictatorship of the Big Four in the base camp." ”

Okaku also expressed dissatisfaction: "What about 100 million yen, do you really think you are doing business?" ”

"Dictatorship has dictatorship, how fast is the decision-making now? From the topic of China's withdrawal from Showa 12 to Showa 17, there has been no progress in the past five years, and Ishihara has started to do it three months after he took office -- he doesn't bother to discuss it with you at all, he orders you to carry it out, and if you don't carry it out, you will be replaced. ”

"And no one cares about him?"

"Who cares about him? His backstage is King Minoru Higashikuremiya, the staff headquarters has been replaced by the Ishihara Gang, the Germans recognize him, the Minister of War Tada Jun is an old friend of him, and the Navy is also willing to deal with him, and no one can control him. ”

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Him?" Okamura Ninji laughed, "Your Majesty is still intoxicated by the Statement of the Commander of the Combined Fleet on the Blockade of the Northern Indian Ocean, and now that the situation is very good, how can you easily express your position?" ”

The other two thought about it carefully and felt that it was also - although Ishihara did not send reinforcements to China after he came to power, he was at least allowed to retreat and shrink, which was somewhat a way out, and only a fool like Tojo knew that he would not be able to hold on.

Nakanishi Sadaki finally passed the long examination and finally fell behind, and then said: "Although it is difficult to accept emotionally, to tell the truth, it is good for us to shrink and retreat appropriately -- the density of troops has increased, the width and area of defense have decreased, the supply lines have been shortened, and more importantly, the field division has finally recovered -- if it continues to be stationed in one county town after another as before, the elite field division will sooner or later become a lazy garrison army, and then what combat effectiveness will there be." ”

Bighorn asked, "Sir, where are we going to retreat?" ”

"No one knows." Okamura shook his head, "At present, the news I have received is that Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Guizhou have all retreated, and most of Shanxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Shandong have retreated, and there are quite a few areas that must be ensured, such as the northernmost Suiyuan and Chahar areas, the Pingjin area in the north, the Jiaozhou Bay line in Shandong, the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou and Yangtze River Delta areas in East China, Wuhan and the big cities along the Yangtze River in Central China, the Pearl River Delta and Xiamen in South China. A large part of the coast will remain. ”

"In this way, it is equivalent to giving up the surface, and only the points and lines are retained." Major General Nakanishi calculated, "500,000 troops should be enough." ”

"The base camp wants to press to less than 400,000. Regardless of whether Ishihara's current strategy of shrinking troops, using China to contain China, and achieving a political solution can ultimately succeed, at least for now the transformation of the decision-making system of the base camp will be successful. The brains of the upper echelons began to clear up, there were fewer red deer walking alone at every turn, and the army and navy began to unite - didn't the army earn these tanks from the navy? Okamura Ninji sighed, "It's just that now the prestige of the combined fleet is suppressing everything, and the axis can only ensure that the status of the Big Four is as stable as Mount Tai, and in case of a big defeat, we will have to consider replacing people." ”

"The Great Defeat?" Bighorn asked suspiciously, "Where did the Combined Fleet come from if the Combined Fleet is in full swing and the Army is not attacking?" ”

"Have you read today's base camp bulletin?"

"I've seen it, but I don't find anything special."

"Yamashita Fumimi left his post as commander of the First Front Army in Manchuria and returned to Tokyo and was promoted to general."

"This ......" Nakanishi and Dajiao raised their heads and looked at each other, both expressing confusion, what kind of major news is this? He was not the only one who was promoted to general.

"I didn't expect it at first, but another piece of intelligence reminded me......" Okamura said expressionlessly, "The Indian Front Army was formed a few days ago, and the troops drawn from the Chinese Dispatch Army were all included in the Front, including 6 infantry divisions, 2 tank divisions, and 4 flying divisions. ”

Nakanishi and Okaku were deeply shocked: Yamashita was an anti-Tojo faction, and at this juncture the significance of his going to Tokyo and being promoted was not simple, Okaku stammered and asked, "Sir, what do you ......mean?"

"He's going to fight India!" Okamura said slowly, "I don't think it will fail, but if it fails, Japan will have to consider comprehensive peace talks." ”
