"Hoo ......"

Shouichi Terauchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when Yamachiyama Yuo said this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Since the beginning of the all-out war, Shouichi Terauchi has not been without his own ideas. He did not want the North China Battlefield to become an unimportant piece of the puzzle in the all-out battlefield, on the contrary, he hoped that the North China Battlefield that he dominated would become the most important piece. Even not long ago, he had a fatal idea in his heart, that is, he wanted to establish a completely new regime in North China!

Just like when Ishihara Waner planned to create "Manchurian and Mongolian independence" outside the Guan, he built a better vassal state than "Manchukuo" for the imperial state with his own hands, so as to contribute to the "imperial paradise" in his heart.

Once I had such an idea, it began to grow like a poisonous weed. During this period of time, Terauchi Shouichi was planning how to make his grand blueprint a reality, and it was precisely because of this that Terauchi Shouichi was so extremely rejecting Ishihara's thoughts.

At one point, he even thought viciously that Ishihara was so strongly opposed to all-out war in the hope that he would be able to be beautiful in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Ishihara Waner successfully planned the "918 Incident", and made Manchukuo and Mongolia independent into "Manchukuo", doubling the territorial expansion of the empire, what a merit Ishihara Waner opposed to the all-out war, and was definitely preventing anyone from making such a feat, making himself unique!

As a general, Shouichi Terauchi would never say such thoughts to the outside world, but this did not prevent him from suppressing such narrow thoughts in the deepest part of his heart and savoring them slowly.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing that Yamaguchi Yuo and Ishihara Waner had some similar views, he would be furious.

But after hearing the words that Yama Yuo said at the end, Shouichi Terauchi was relieved and a little relieved at the same time. The rest assured is that Yama Prefecture Yuo is not as stupid as Ishihara Wan'er, and he is still that promising young man. It is gratifying to know that my political investment has not only not failed, but on the contrary, it has made huge gains today.

"You're saying a good thing, so do you have any good advice?"

Seeing that Shouichi Terauchi's expression gradually returned to normal, Yama Prefecture Yuo relaxed, and his high-minded talk gradually became better.

"Commander, I think the immediate priority is not to rush to engage the Eighth Route Army, but to improve our rule in North China as soon as possible!"

Yama County Yongnan was amazing, and he did not hesitate to throw out a clear suggestion.

"Oh Yongnan, I'm curious why you are emphasizing the Eighth Route Army, you must know that there are still teams such as the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army in North China, and they are much stronger than the Eighth Route Army."

The phrase "perfect the rule of North China as soon as possible" is talking about the heart of Terauchi Shouichi, and he is particularly comfortable saying it. However, he didn't show it immediately, but asked Yama County Yongnan such an unimportant question. However, he didn't expect that Shan County Yongnan would say something refreshing to him.

"Huh"

First smiled contemptuously, expressing disdain for the two, and then Shan Shan continued.

"I can say very responsibly that the Central Army is not worth mentioning compared to the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army. At present, they are already much behind the Eighth Route Army in terms of tactical thinking.

Although they were much better than the Eighth Route Army in terms of military strength, they were like a man with thick limbs but no strength. They do not have any superiority in armament and logistics in front of us, but even so, they are still only keen on group army operations and positional warfare.

Such a backward tactical thinking, even if it is ninety-nine, what difference does it have from one in front of a thousand?

On the contrary, the tactics of the Eighth Route Army were very flexible. Although many of them are helpless due to backward weapons and equipment, it is undeniable that they can often achieve unexpected results. ”

"Very insightful!"

Terauchi Shouichi's eyes suddenly lit up, removing those flashiness, he is still an excellent soldier in essence, and he is definitely not weak in military literacy, and he immediately realized these problems when Shan County said this.

"That's why I advise against rushing into battle with the Eighth Route Army. Now fighting with the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than pulling with them on some unimportant land. If it can guarantee a 100% victory rate, it is good, if not, it is difficult to ensure that the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army also began to learn the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

It is not yet a threat for the weak Eighth Route Army to engage in some skirmishes with us, but if the stronger Central Army and the Jin Sui Army also make tactical progress, then it will be difficult for us to do so.

If we exert too much pressure to unite several armies in North China, then if we reduce the pressure, it is easy for them to be suspicious of each other.

Before the start of the all-out war, the armies of these Chinese factions had been in a state of long-term warfare, and once they began to be suspicious of each other, it was doomed to be impossible to work together! ”

"Good!"

Shouichi in the temple slapped his palm violently and looked at Yama County Yongo in admiration.

"Brave man! You should be the best Army University graduate in that class! You are entitled to wear the saber that His Majesty the Emperor has given you! ”

Yama County Yongnan smiled indifferently.

"Your Excellency praised it, although I longed for the saber given by His Majesty the Emperor. I already have such a good family, and this honor should be reserved for other better students, and I hope to be rewarded by the emperor for my real military exploits. ”

Shouichi Terauchi was shocked at this time, and he realized that Yuo Yamaprefecture had always disguised himself as a playboy with mediocre qualifications and greedy for pleasure, which turned out to be a kind of self-protection! I couldn't help but be surprised that he was so deep in the city.

"Perhaps...... This kid is no less good than his brother...... The Shan County family is really amazing......"

Yama Prefecture Yongo didn't seem to feel the surprise of Shouichi in the temple, but just bowed calmly.

"My lord, I think you may be able to trust me a little further now."

Showing his secret to the other party, Yama County Yongnan can be said to be using this way to surrender. Their mountain family is now in the prime of life, and he needs to find a backer for himself, and Terauchi Shouichi is obviously happy to add a capable young arm for himself.

With the encouragement of Shouichi Terauchi, Yama Prefecture Yuo spoke more fluently.

"Since the war has been waged, it must be made worthwhile. The industrial base in North China is very weak, and except for the Taiyuan Arsenal, there is almost nothing that can be seen by us.

But in North China, there is an abundance of coal and iron ore, and the food produced here is what we need. Instead of snatching it from the Chinese by military means, it is better to find a way to let them take the initiative to give it to us. Only in this way can we have a stable and continuous supply of resources, making our war in China worthwhile. That's why I'm suggesting perfecting the rule. ”

"It makes sense, but how do we improve our rule over North China, I like to hear some practical things."

"Suck ......"

Yama County Yongnan took a deep breath and stabilized his mind before he spoke.

"Since ancient times, Chinese people have had a very strong sense of clan. In their view, the decrees of a state power are not necessarily as important as the words of the patriarch.

In the vast rural areas outside the cities, the peasants and the land were in the hands of the local tyrants and gentry. These landlords had absolute authority within their clan's sphere of influence.

If we want to use the manpower and material resources of North China, we must deal with these local tyrants and gentry. These men held a great deal of land and wealth, and some even had a small armed force.

I think we can do both hard and soft with these people. Those who are willing to cooperate with the Imperial Army, we can appoint them, and then use their appeal to pool resources for us. As for those who are unwilling to cooperate, we will resolutely suppress them! When necessary, you can also pick a few powerful families to make an example of chickens and monkeys! ”

"Well, both soft and hard, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys...... Your words are insightful. ”

Terauchi Shou's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but raise his evaluation of Yama County Yong Nan to a higher level in his heart. But at the same time of rejoicing, he then became annoyed.

"Yuo, it's been less than an hour since you walked into my office and you've come up with so many insightful ideas for me. But Wang Kemin's bastards are really poor in their ability to do things! As for the new regime in North China, it has been preparing for several months, but those idiots have not achieved anything at all!

For months, not a single specific matter has been raised! It's full of empty talk all day long, and I only care about how big an official I can be and what kind of benefits I can get from the imperial army! I really don't know how it was done in the first place, none of the Chinese talents were co-opted, and they only got such a bunch of waste! ”

Listening to Shouichi Terauchi's swearing, Yuo Yamagu's eyelids drooped. The "waste" Wang Kemin in the other party's mouth is the puppet "chairman" under them now.

For Wang Kemin, a brave man from Shan County, he once served as the chief financial officer of the Beiyang government during the Li Yuanhong period. There are some abilities, and the image power is also acceptable. But he was not actually the first choice of the Japanese, but a forced choice after Terauchi Shouichi failed to recruit many important political figures of the Beiyang period. After recruiting Wang Kemin, the North China Front recruited some bureaucrats one after another.

As early as December 14, 37, Wang Kemin and a group of traitors had announced the establishment of the "provisional government", but in the more than a month since the establishment of the puppet government, they have not achieved the slightest success, which makes Terauchi Shouichi feel particularly disappointed.

Thinking of this, Yama County Yongnan sighed, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said.

"My lord, I'm just a big Zuo, and there are some things I don't have the right to say. But I still think that if the imperial army still recruits and surrenders in the current way, I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit real talents.

China is too big, we are in the Chinese battlefield, we must have the help of Chinese talents to be able to control so many Chinese well. But now, as you can see, until now, most of the people we have recruited are people who are not very capable, and on the contrary, more and more people are standing on the opposite side of us.

With all due respect, if you have always been like this, the problem will never be solved. Sometimes you shouldn't be too stingy with the power in your hands, just imagine what real person would be willing to be a puppet."

As soon as Yama Prefecture's words came out, Terauchi Shouichi was stunned at the time, and the expression on his face struggled for a few moments, but he still shook his head after all.

"Yongnan, what you did today is already very good, let's discuss this matter later."

Looking at Terauchi Shouichi's appearance, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yamachi's heart, but he didn't mention it again, and after saying a few more words, he withdrew from Terauchi Shouichi's office.
