"Yaga, Your Excellency Nishio is too bold!"

Hearing this news, several staff officers couldn't help but shout angrily in unison, and Matsui Shigen couldn't help but snort, Toneoka Kanji returned to Taiyuan, if there was no permission from Nishio Shouzo, the other party would not have been so bold!

Although Matsui Ishine had expected all this, but now that Nishio Shouzo has really done it, it's another matter!

This is clearly not to take him as a commander in his eyes!

In any country, as long as there is class and officialdom, there must be open and secret battles, and between Matsui Ishine and Terauchi Shouichi, such secret battles are inevitable, and the two sides have also achieved brilliant results in their respective theaters, which is also the main reason for the rapid progress of the war in China.

When the great deeds of the future empire are accomplished,

If it weren't for the huge losses in the battle of Zhongmu, Terauchi Shouichi would not have been dismissed, then the open and secret struggle between the two sides may continue, and the day when the great cause of the East Asian Co-prosperity Circle of the Empire is achieved in the future, the two of them will become the arms of the empire!

This kind of healthy competition on the battlefield is absolutely beneficial to the empire, but it is a huge bad news for the Chinese army.

However, for Matsui Ishone himself, Terauchi Shouichi is undoubtedly a huge threat to him, after all, on the side of the couch, how can he allow others to sleep soundly?

Fortunately, because of the appearance of Lu Yuan, Zhongmu completely annihilated the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, forcing Terauchi Shouichi to be transferred back to the island and dismissed in disguise, so that the situation of competition and cooperation between the two was completely dismantled, and the hidden worries in Matsui Shigen's heart were completely resolved.

And now, Nishio Shouzo's approach is clearly carrying the banner of Terauchi Shouichi after he left, and he wants to take the opportunity to prove his strength to the top position, which Matsui Ishine will never allow!

Although these questions never appear in the discussion of the top level of the Japanese military, any high-ranking general knows these things well, so as soon as he heard this, the military department immediately scolded everywhere!

"His Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio actually disobeyed the orders of His Excellency the Commander, it is really hateful, we must send him to a military court!"

"This person is short-sighted, and he cares about the safety of the soldiers of the Datong Empire and acts recklessly, which is really hateful to the extreme......"

"Your Excellency Commander, please allow me to send a report to the Emperor, so that His Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio can give us a reasonable explanation for this matter, and there must be no such person in the army of the Empire who does not care about the overall situation......"

Many staff officers shouted loudly.

Matsui Shigen groaned, his eyes condensed like the tip of a needle, for him, Nishio Shouzo's approach was a challenge to his dignity, and he would never tolerate it, but he didn't speak immediately, after all, as the commander-in-chief of the East China Battlefield, with his identity, he directly ordered to deal with a lieutenant general, which was really suspected of bullying the small!

It is not disgraceful to be honest.

"Shut up!"

When many staff officers and generals had scolded enough, Matsui Shigen spoke: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, I think Lieutenant General Nishio must have his reason for doing this......"

"Reason, what can be a big reason for the military order? Since the ancient military order was issued, it would never be changed, and he was clearly joking with the lives of thousands of imperial soldiers—if it weren't for Your Excellency Commander, you had expected it, the soldiers of our empire Datong would definitely not be able to escape the fate of Zhongmu......"

"That's it, no matter how Lieutenant General Nishio explains, he disobeys military orders, which is a capital crime!"

Matsui Ishone's words not only did not calm the anger of the staff officers in the military headquarters, but instead added fuel to the fire.

Hearing these angry shouts, there was a faint sneer in Matsui Shigen's eyes, because these were all the situations he expected and wanted to see the most, one Terauchi Shouichi fell, he didn't want to get up another Terauchi Shouichi, he would completely strangle the danger that might threaten him in the cradle.

He believed that the anger of these staff officers could easily drive Nishio Shouzo into a corner!

"Your Excellency Commander, Lieutenant General Nishio has sent a telegram, hoping to personally report to Your Excellency the Commander on the situation of the Battle of Datong!" A liaison officer trotted in.

"Baga, this guy actually dares to call......"

"I would like to hear what he should do about disobeying military orders!" Many staff officers and generals were even more furious when they heard this.

"Calm down!"

Matsui Shigen waved his hand to shut everyone up, and then said: "Take the phone call of Lieutenant General Nishio, I also want to hear what kind of big reason he has, he has no regard for the lives of the soldiers of the Taiyuan Empire, and he must return to Datong!" ”

Soon, Nishio Shouzo's phone was transferred to the military headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm sorry!"

Nishio Shouzao's voice came, and said: "From the very beginning, Xia Guan determined that the target of the Eighth Road must not be Taiyuan, but Datong, and the current battle situation finally proves Xia Guan's inference......

"Hachigaya Road, Your Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio, you ignored the military order in vain, and now you are still beating a rake - are you implying that His Excellency Commander Matsui misjudged the situation?"

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio, you are really too much, I must go to His Majesty the Emperor and let you go to the court-martial......"

As soon as these words came out, many generals crooked their noses in anger and roared: "What you can see, how can Commander Matsui not see?" It's just that Taiyuan's strategic position of our army is much higher than that of Datong - Lieutenant General Nishio, I have to say that you think you are a blind eye and are blinded by possible merits! ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and if it weren't for the liaison officer monitoring the phone line, people in the military headquarters would even think that the line had been cut off.

"Lieutenant General Nishio, have you heard everyone's questions? Do you have something to say? ”

Matsui Shigen asked coldly, without expressing any attitude in his voice, as a Shangguan, he knew very well that suppressing a person often does not need to go out by himself, he can do it through the mouth of others, and he can still maintain the demeanor of a superior.

"What can he say? Mouse Eyed Guy! ”

"That is, do you really think that the general of the temple will be transferred back to the main island, and he will be able to have no tigers in the mountains and monkeys to dominate?" Many staff officers and generals sneered.

"You are wrong......

With a long sigh, Nishio Shouzo on the other end of the phone finally spoke again: "I, Nishio Shouzo, am a soldier of the empire, and I have never only thought of doing my duty as a soldier, opening up territory for the empire regardless of life and death, and doing my best for the emperor. ”

"Hmph, it's a nice thing to say, but it's one thing to say and do another!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Nishio, don't you think your words are a slap in the face?" Many staff generals scoffed.
