The military advice of the Kwantung Army

In the face of the Chinese government's demands, various strikes and demonstrations in Japan, and after less than two days, Emperor Hirohito's Imperial Palace had to send a message, that is, to agree to the Chinese government's demands. For the safety of all imperial prisoners of war in the hands of the Chinese government, order the breakout troops on the front line as soon as possible to release the Chinese people who were being held hostage....

"Baga, when did the imperial government become so cowardly and actually agreed to the Chinese government's coercion. Just for the sake of 1,000 naval prisoners of war, we are required to release 100,000 Chinese people. Doesn't the imperial government know that these 100,000 people are the only capital in our hands to save their lives? Without these 100,000 Chinese, how can we break out. Bastard, whose decision is this, it's simply a sinner of the empire, I'm going to kill him..."Looking at the battle order sent by Emperor Hirohito himself, General Mitsu every time, this complete militarist, couldn't help but rant loudly at the subordinates in front of him....

As an old partner of General Mitsu Ishiro, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai, is also a complete militarist. As soon as the commander's angry scolding fell, Ichiro Sakai followed closely behind, and said in agreement with a look of righteous indignation.

"What Your Excellency the Commander said is that without these Chinese, we would be a piece of fat on the lips of the Chinese army. More importantly, even in the final decisive battle, if the Kwantung Army sent troops southward was completely annihilated, having these 100,000 Chinese people to bury us would deal a heavy blow to the Chinese army and the Chinese government. And now, all of this has vanished with His Majesty's orders...."

"No, Sakai-kun, even if we die on the battlefield, we will let 100,000 Chinese be buried with us. Let the Chinese government know that if they want to destroy us, they must be prepared to pay a terrible price...."General Mitsu said with a murderous expression as he clenched his fists.

Seeing Ichiro Sakai in front of him with a stunned face, Mitsu continued to speak.

"Sakai-kun, wear my order immediately, regarding the order of His Majesty the Emperor, it is forbidden for anyone to pass it on, otherwise, military law will be engaged....this time, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my hands, I, Mitsu, will also come once every time, and I will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch..."After a short period of contemplation, Mitsu each Lang ordered very decisively.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander...."

Mitsu's order is very even, but even if it is fast, it is not faster than the speed of the radio waves. At the same time that the communications office of the headquarters received the telegram order, the high-power radio stations belonging to the divisions and brigades also received the same order from Emperor Hirohito. For a time, Emperor Hirohito's order had already spread among all the generals in the entire army. Of course, the whole order is also spreading downward at a very rapid speed, level by level.

"Report to the commander of the division, the latest order of His Excellency the Commander, regarding the telegram order of His Majesty the Emperor, our department must remain in the middle of the order. At the same time, His Excellency the Commander asked the officers of our department at and above the rank of senior to rush to the headquarters on time at eight o'clock this evening to convene a military meeting...."In the headquarters of a division under the Kwantung Army, when a group of officers gathered around the division commander to discuss the telegram they had just received, the voice of the communications staff officer reached their ears in a very timely manner.

"How is it possible to stay in the middle and not send it, this is a battle order issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Bage Yalu, are you pretending to pass on combat orders, how could Your Excellency the Commander do this...."The division commander asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.

Facing the angry eyes of the commanders, the communications staff officer, who was only a junior officer, immediately had beads of sweat on his head, and hurriedly replied.

"Your Excellency the division commander is angry, you just give ten dares to the lowly position, and the lowly position does not dare to fake the command order, please ask the division commander to be clear..." After speaking, he couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. "Okay, I see, you go down right away." In addition, order the guards, no one is allowed to enter the war room without my order...."After knowing the specific situation, the division commander waved his hand and ordered with a serious face.

"Hayi...."

What the communications staff officer did not expect was that at the moment when he had just turned around, the face of the division commander was already shrouded in a solemn look in an instant.

As for the specific reasons, it's very simple.

The division commander in front of him, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, was none other than a Japanese nobleman and a descendant of the Japanese imperial family. The loyalty to the entire royal family can be said to be unmatched. More importantly, according to the telegraph contact between him and his family in China in the past two days, it is very clear that his son, who served in the navy, happened to participate in this naval battle. Maybe he has high hopes, and the son of the whole family has high hopes has become a prisoner of war in the hands of the Chinese government.

After receiving Emperor Hirohito's order, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who had been nervous for two days, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Because he knows that as long as his son is in the hands of the Chinese, it means that his son's life is worry-free...

And right now, every time Commander Mizu gives an unexpected order from General Lang, as long as he is a sober person, he knows very well that his commander is planning to disobey orders...

Thinking that the commander he respected was planning to disobey the order, and more importantly, this order was issued by Emperor Hirohito himself. That means that his own commander intends to fight against the emperor... This is simply unbearable for Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who was born as a descendant of the imperial family, even if the other party is his direct superior.

So, after thinking through everything, Lieutenant General Taniguchi's face was shrouded in a solemn look for the first time.

After a quick glance at the subordinates in front of him who were loyal to him, and more importantly, were all nobles and royalty. Lieutenant General Taniguchi spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone should be clear about what this order of His Excellency the Commander means. ”

"Division Commander, we are all descendants of the imperial family, without His Majesty the Emperor, we would not be where we are today. Therefore, no matter what, I will not tolerate someone betraying His Majesty the Emperor in front of us and resisting His Majesty's orders...."As soon as Lieutenant General Taniguchi's words fell, one of the two major generals in the war room stood up and spoke indignantly.

"We don't agree either...," said the first to speak, all of whom had always been proud of their royal status.

Seeing everyone's determined gaze, Taniguchi nodded with great satisfaction. Then he spoke: "I believe that Your Majesty's center of gravity will definitely see it." However, just those of us, with our abilities, want to fight against a commander who has an army of hundreds of thousands, isn't it...."

Seeing Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who was embarrassed, Masuda Daisa, as the chief of staff of his confidant, immediately realized something and asked, "Division commander, are you worried that your strength is not enough to fight against Your Excellency the Commander..."

"What can you do..."Seeing in front of him, he was not only his own subordinates, but also his own play, and the chief of staff who was also a descendant of the royal family. Lieutenant General Taniguchi asked tentatively.

"Division commander, I think that our limitations can't just be placed on one of our divisions...."Zeng Dazuo said with a mysterious face.

"Be specific...."Seeing that the chief of staff in front of him really had a way, Lieutenant General Taniguchi's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Hayi...."

"Division commander, I humble myself that as long as you give an order from the division commander, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, I believe that the entire division will definitely support your decision and obey your command."

Seeing that Lieutenant General Taniguchi nodded confidently, agreeing with his statement. Masuda continued to speak.

"Although, we have only one division in our hands, and compared with the entire breakout army, there is no comparison at all. However, the division commander seems to have forgotten one thing, and that is the warning of His Majesty in his order to the breakout armies from all directions. The nobles and senators not only had deep-rooted strength in the country, but also had a strength that could not be underestimated in the army..."..., "In the entire breakout army, not only the commander of our division was composed of royal personnel. According to my estimates, at least two-thirds of all the officers in the army are related to the royal family and the founding fathers. I can be sure that with more contact with us, these officers, including the subordinates behind them, will be His Majesty's most loyal supporters..."

After listening to the explanation of his subordinates, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who was excited, couldn't help but cast a trace of appreciation at the subordinates in front of him, and then said: "Yo Xi, I believe that with these people who are sincere to Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Commander will definitely not disobey Your Majesty's orders in public..."

In fact, there is still one sentence in Lieutenant General Taniguchi's heart that has not been spoken, and that is: "My son is saved, and the whole family has hope." For the sake of his son, for the sake of the whole family, even if he rebels, he will not hesitate..."

Of course, these things, these subordinates can never be clear. In their eyes, as long as it is for the sake of the emperor and the interests of their own family, they will follow closely behind Lieutenant General Taniguchi, that is, the division commander in front of them.

After a quick glance at the subordinates in front of him, whose faces were becoming more and more determined, Lieutenant General Taniguchi ordered with a serious face: "I believe you already know the specific plan. There are still six hours left before the meeting, and we must make good use of those six hours to reach out to more people to join us. When the time comes, if the commander really intends to disobey orders and disobey His Majesty the Emperor, I don't mind leading everyone to admonish the commander...."

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Taniguchi's face was already shrouded in a thick murderous aura.

"Hayi...."
