Now on Reinhardt's desk, there are two pieces of information side by side.

According to an intelligence, Timoshenko finally broke through the defense line in eastern Poland in the early hours of this morning after mobilizing a large number of air forces to continuously bomb the defense line in eastern Poland.

From the moment he broke through the defensive line, Timoshenko finally played with the momentum of his Soviet general, and at least 100,000 Soviet troops under his command poured into the gap in the broken defensive line and quickly spread to both flanks. At this pace, in another half a day, Timoshenko would be able to destroy all the remaining defensive positions on the eastern border of the Polish army.

The other piece of information on the table was even more meaningful. Intelligence indicates that the Japanese Kwantung Army is launching a large-scale attack on the area around Nomenkan, and its vanguard has broken through the Mongolian border.

Reinhardt, who got the information, breathed a sigh of relief, and the stupid Japanese finally took the bait.

At the moment when the Soviet army finally defeated the Polish border army, the sneak attack of the Kwantung Army can be said to have brought Stalin a disgusting trouble. Although the Kwantung Army's sneak attack was far from setting fire to the Soviet Union's backyard in terms of its national strength, it was impossible to be happy after all.

Stalin was in a bad mood, and Reinhardt, who was in a good mood, hurriedly beckoned his confidential secretary and said, "Let someone bring me a cup of coffee and add more sugar." In addition, he conveyed to Ribbentrop on my behalf that Germany called on the Soviet Union and Japan to exercise restraint and make a correct decision to be responsible for the peace of their own people and the region. ”

Both sides are fighting with real knives and guns, how can you restrain them? Isn't this nonsense! The secretary looked at the gloating head with a strange expression, and suddenly understood what it meant to stand and talk without backache.

Once published, these words will certainly be of little use in settling the Soviet-Japanese dispute, but on the contrary, they will give the people of the world the impression that Germany loves peace and advocates justice. After all, this quotation, which condenses the wisdom of Eastern diplomacy, appears for the first time in this era, and it appears from the mouth of a German who speaks and does things with a clear eye!

"All right, Führer. I'll do it. The secretary replied stupidly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was really too young. On the other hand, the Führer, who is also young, is always stunningly talented, doing something unexpected and saying something that makes people bow and worship.

On the afternoon of the same day that the German Foreign Ministry appealed for peace between the Soviet Union and Japan, the Kwantung Army transferred the main forces of the 6th Army, which had been scheduled to be deployed, from Hailar, intending to launch a further onslaught in order to complete all military operations in Mongolia before the end of autumn.

Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Army, who had seen through the Japanese offensive intentions, hastened to open field military airfields in Tamchag, Prague, Sambes, and other places, and gathered the surrounding Mongolian cavalry units to prepare for a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army.

..............

"Your Excellency! Ogishu is your man, and as long as you give the order to attack on all fronts, he will definitely obey. "Now it is none other than Masanobu Tsuji, the staff officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army who launched the entire Battle of Nomenkan.

As a small staff officer, Masanobu Tsuji actually promoted the process of the entire Battle of Nomenkan, and I have to say that he still has considerable ability. After Ishihara Waner, known as the "wisdom of the Japanese Empire", stepped aside, Tsuji Masanobu became the mastermind of the Kwantung Army, which had a long-standing atmosphere of "going down and going up".

What is the subordinate is the subordinate who gives orders instead of the superior. This seems to be a disorder that goes against common sense in the armies of all countries, but it is a long-standing tradition in the Japanese army. Few foreigners can understand why the island country likes to play the irrational tradition of "Xia Ke Shang" so much, just as few people can figure out where the island country has the courage to threaten to annex the dignified China in three months.

Speaking of which, Masanobu Tsuji has always regarded Ishihara Waner, who is now standing aside, as his "spiritual mentor".

However, except for the fact that Masanobu Tsuji has a fight with Ishihara Waner in terms of boldness, it is difficult to compare with Ishihara Waner in other aspects.

In addition to boldness, Ishihara also has extraordinary insight and calm analytical ability, but in addition to boldness, Masanobu Tsuji is only arrogant and crazy, obsessed with the illusion that "the Soviet army is vulnerable", and is impatient to provoke a war against the Soviet Union.

Facing the fanatical admirer of the "northward expansion" strategy in front of him, Sugiyama Moto, who was sitting on the sofa, said worriedly: "But the weapons and equipment of the Soviet army are much better than ours, and the pressure on Lieutenant General Ogisu is also very great." ”

"General!" Masanobu Tsuji said with a fanatical gaze: "The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire all have the spirit of bushido that can make them stronger, and they have a strong will, and the Soviet army is not our opponent!" ”

There is a reason for this superstition of Masanobu Tsuji.

First of all, from his personal point of view, he has been a superstitious person since he was a student. Later, when he was studying at the Japanese Army University, in order to study hard, he did not have more than five hours of sleep for three years, and he relied on lying on his desk to nap for two or three hours every day, and relied on this perseverance to obtain the status of the chief graduate.

Therefore, the Soviet army's weapons and equipment, which are much better than those of Japan, are not a matter at all in the eyes of a Japanese scholar like Masanobu Tsuji!

Seeing that Sugiyama was still a little hesitant, Masanobu Tsuji simply gave an example: "Your Excellency, General, according to the information provided by the Germans, the Soviet government shot 3 marshals, 3 first-class army generals, 12 second-class army generals, 60 army commanders, and 136 division commanders for countless brigade commanders. ”

After hearing Masanobu Tsuji's words, Sugiyama Moto's eyes lit up and said, "You mean ........?"

"Yes, the quality of officers in the Soviet army has dropped significantly!" Masanobu Tsuji smiled confidently: "The Polish campaign has been fought so far, and others Germany are about to fight in Warsaw, but nearly a million Soviet troops are still fighting on the Soviet-Polish border. Isn't this the best proof of the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army! ”

"Soga!" Sugiyama Mototo touched his mustache and nodded: "In this way, the army of our Great Japanese Empire has always been known for its well-trained, and now the decline in the quality of the army caused by the Soviets' self-destruction of the Great Wall is the best opportunity for us to defeat the Soviet army." ”

Sugiyama Moto's words are different from Masanobu Tsuji's ethereal method of spiritual victory. The basis for his judgment was the Japanese army's title of "the strongest infantry of World War II during World War II". In addition, the Kwantung Army was originally the elite of the Japanese army, and its combat quality can be called the first in the Japanese army!

In addition, Sugiyama Mototo, who also won the 1st Tank Division, which was hailed as a "national treasure" by the Japanese army, for Ogisu Ritto. As the only tank division in Japan, the 1st Tank Division is all equipped with Type 89 medium tanks as the main force (again, only Japan calls this thing Zhongtan). With only tank divisions that the whole country has never been willing to use, the Ogisu Ryō soldiers who fought on the front line can now be said to have the most powerful armored force in the entire Japanese army.

After thinking about it again, Sugiyama Yuan slapped the sofa suddenly: "Yo Xi!" Since this is the case, I will now urge the Ogizhou troops to launch a general attack, defeat the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army in one fell swoop, and realize the great cause of advancing northward! ”
