No one knows what kind of "deal" the mysterious PLAN Pacific Fleet commander-in-chief Cheng Gong finally reached with Hirohito in the Emperor's Palace.

Anyway, in the eyes of the intelligence agencies of various countries stationed in Tokyo, early the next morning, many people saw with their own eyes that Emperor Hirohito personally sent a young Chinese out of the palace gate.

And judging from the intimate behavior of the two at that time, Hirohito's relationship with this young Chinese was not simple.

The intelligence organizations of various countries later learned that the young Chinese was actually Cheng Gong, the commander-in-chief of the PLAN Pacific Fleet, who had racked their brains and had not gotten any clues.

In particular, Emperor Hirohito convened a pre-imperial meeting in the afternoon of the same day, solemnly proposing that from now on, all the members of the Toei Imperial Family should eat only two meals a day, and all the money saved should be used to build Toei's most advanced heavy aircraft carrier: a "Shinano-class" aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 72,000 tons, which can carry 150 state-of-the-art carrier-based aircraft! The navies of the world were in an uproar at the news.

Hideki Tojo dragged his heavy steps, his mind went blank, and he slowly walked towards the outside of the palace in despair.

As one of Hirohito's few confidants, Hideki Tojo has always believed that as long as he clings to the towering tree of Emperor Showa, his career in Toei is absolutely bright and his future is immeasurable.

However, Hideki Tojo could not have imagined why His Majesty the Emperor's trust in him was greatly reduced overnight.

Last night, Hideki Tojo originally wanted to persuade Hirohito to support his strategic idea of fighting the Soviet Union and China head-on at the same time, but before he could have thought that this idea had not been spoken, he was scolded by Hirohito.

It must be that this guy Ishihara Waner has sent a letter to His Majesty!

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth and hated in his heart. He never imagined that His Majesty would override public opinion at the Imperial Council held today and appoint Ishihara Waner as the Chief of the General Staff of the Army!

Now it's okay, the two-front battle plan that the Kwantung Army has been planning has all come to naught.

And the first thing Ishihara did when he took office was to announce that he would stop his erroneous thinking about expanding the battlefield against China and comprehensively shrink the defensive line. At the same time, he also stressed that China is a vast country with great strategic depth, and if we only consider the influence of international politics, it would be a completely thankless and erroneous strategy to let the East China Front Army and the National Revolutionary Army fight a decisive battle in Nanjing!

Even if Huaxia lost the national capital of Nanjing, there were still many companions who could support the Nationalist Government to continue to lead the whole people of Huaxia to persist in the War of Resistance. Moreover, the capture of Nanjing will, to a certain extent, strengthen the determination of the Chinese people to resist the war to the end.

The military department's erroneous idea of a quick and quick solution to the Chinese War, which was originally scheduled to settle the Chinese War within three months, has completely turned into a deceptive talk after the East China Front lost the help of the navy's coordinated operations. For the Chinese battlefield, the most correct strategy of the Great Dongying Empire was to slowly digest the North China region under its control on the basis of further consolidating the Manchu and Mongolian base areas.

As for the East China battlefield, it was only necessary to occupy Huhai, an international metropolis, and then fight and talk with the Nationalist Government.

This new strategy, proposed by Ishihara Wanji, was strongly supported by Emperor Hirohito.

In addition, the Ministry of the Navy, which has always been on the same page as the Ministry of the Army, has been fueling the waves, and the Army Department can only reluctantly accept this reality.

Although it is said that His Majesty the Emperor was removed from all his positions in the Kwantung Army, His Majesty did not completely abandon him, and still gave him an important position as aviation director, which made Tojo Hideki's heart somewhat comforted.

It's just that Hideki Tojo said to His Majesty that the kind of "Corsair" fighter with a maximum flight speed of nearly 720 kilometers per hour did not say anything, but he was skeptical in his heart.

When did the Great Dongying Empire have such awesome technology in the field of aviation technology?

If this kind of "pirate" F4U fighter can really be built, all the fighters in the current service of the empire can be returned to the furnace as raw materials.

However, considering His Majesty's strong self-confidence and charisma at the Imperial Council, Hideki Tojo's originally depressed fighting spirit gradually became high.

……

The sudden appearance of strange variables between Huaxia and Dongying on the Songhu battlefield made the military observer groups of all countries in China realize that there must be a major incident in Dongying.

As the Dongying army gradually shrank its front and transformed the originally devastating and devastating rapid offensive into a step-by-step defense, Chairman Chiang, who had long been anxious, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is said that the Dongying army has lost the coordinated operations of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and the air strikes have been greatly weakened at once, the offensive of the devil soldiers is still very sharp, and it is not at all something that the National Revolutionary Army can resist.

Originally, the Military Committee was already preparing for the Nanjing Defensive Battle, but who would have thought that the Dongying army on the battlefield in East China would suddenly retreat and defend along the Baoshan line, putting on a posture of attacking and defending.

This sudden and strange change really made the bigwigs of the Military Commission of the National Government fall to the ground.

However, everyone has a common understanding that the devil must be brewing a bigger conspiracy!

……

The Dongying army greatly reduced its defensive line on the Eastern Front, and the Nationalist Government was also happy to seize the time to actively prepare for war.

However, on the battlefield in North China, the fighting in the Second Theater gradually became bigger and bigger, and it continued to develop towards a white-hot stalemate.

The primeval forest in the northwest of Taihang Mountain is high and dense, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal.

At two o'clock in the morning that day, the stars and moon were dark, and the night was as dark as thick ink.

In the deep mountain old forest at the junction of the Taihang Mountains and the Qinling Mountains, there is a Jedi deep valley with a total length of more than two kilometers, a width of one mile, and thousands of meters of cliffs on all sides.

A flattened steel monster with a total length of 300 meters, a width of 20 meters, and a height of 10 meters, fell silently from the sky, slowly falling in this valley that no one had ever set foot in.

About five or six meters above the ground, a figure jumped from the hatch opened by the steel monster.

As soon as he landed, the man knelt on the ground covered with thick fallen leaves, picked up a handful of damp soil with both hands, put it on the tip of his nose, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "It's still the fragrance of the motherland!" ”

Listening to this accent, it is our Commander Cheng Gongcheng.

As the steel monster landed steadily, out of it came out of it a robot with a cold metallic luster, waving the engineering equipment in their hands, and soon opened up a temporary field base in this valley by the cliff.

By the time the sun shone down from the top of the mountain, Cheng Gong was already in the military tent that had been set up earlier, and he was checking the battlefield situation of the fierce Battle of Taiyuan through the holographic map.

"What a little devil, I really don't remember anything!"

Cheng Gong stared at the attack line of the devils on the map, and scolded and said to himself: "The navy has been cleaned up by Lao Tzu, and the subordinates have become honest, it seems that if you don't beat your army hard, you really deceive me and no one in China!" Exercise! ”
