Night is falling.

At this time, Matsui Ishine and Muto Akira accompanied Hatohiko Asakanomiya in a hall next to the headquarters, listening to minor tunes and watching geisha dancing and tasting sake.

It looks like a scene of singing and dancing. If they could wash the smell of blood off the butcher's knife, maybe it would be more harmonious.

"General Matsui, Muto-kun, for the holy war of the Great Japanese Empire, the two of them are fortunate. On behalf of His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, I extend my deepest condolences to you. Cheers. Hatohiko Asakanomiya got up and took the wine glass, came to Matsui Ishine and Muto Akira, and bent down to salute.

"Cheers to the Holy War, to His Majesty the Emperor." Both of them also got up and raised their glasses.

It stands to reason that Matsui Ishine is the commander of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, with the rank of general. And even if Hatohiko Asaka is a member of the royal family, he is only a lieutenant general after all, and he must put his value so low. But now Hatohiko of Asaka Palace also has an identity, representing His Majesty the Emperor, which is equivalent to the Emperor's special envoy, and it is normal for him to lower his value when he sees an official.

Hatohiko Asaka also respects Matsui Ishine very much, and calling him a general is tantamount to affirming his identity and putting himself in a low position. In Japan, the general is the title of the subordinate to the subordinate, which shows that Hatohiko Asakamiya still lowers his status. And Muto Akira is an honorific title, and the transfiguration improves Muto Akira's status. Although Muto Akira is the chief of staff of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, the head of the Hatohiko Guards Division of Asakanomiya is not smaller than him in the slightest, and coupled with the aura of the emperor's envoy, he is highly thrown off Muto Akira a few streets. One high and one low, this also proves the communication methods of Hatohiko Asakanomiya.

Matsui Ishine and Muto Akira used the title of Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, and the smiles on their faces became thicker. The three of them talked about some things from all over the world, and then they inevitably talked about the war. After sending the geisha and the singer away, the three of them sat close and talked slowly.

"In addition to the Malay Peninsula, the imperial ** team has completed the occupation of the territory east of the Burma Railway, but due to the existence of the Burma Railway, which is also Chinese territory, we can't get through." Muto Akira first talked about the results of the war, and then about the current situation in Southeast Asia: "We can't get by, and neither can the Allied forces that came to India and Western Burma. China will not let us pass, and it will not be possible for the Allies to pass. Afraid of China's neutral attitude at this time, neither side wanted to take the lead in offending China, and the allies absolutely did not dare to forcibly cross it. Therefore, unless China falls to the Allies, otherwise, the Allies can only rely on landing on the Malay Peninsula and continuing to increase their forces to confront us. ”

"In other words, the Emperor ** team has not yet taken the Malay Peninsula, which is not good news, if you want to control the Strait of Malacca, you must at least take the Malay Peninsula. This has to be done at a faster pace, time is precious to us. Hatohiko said to the Kanomiya.

"The prince does not need to worry about this, the Malay Peninsula is now in danger under the attack of the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy, and it will not take three days for the Imperial Japanese Army to take this area. In three days, Allied reinforcements had already arrived too late. Matsui Ishinemichi.

"On the way here, I've already spoken with the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto. Admiral Yamamoto will look for a suitable opportunity to annihilate the Allied fleet in the Indian Ocean, so the strength of the Navy's support for the Army will be reduced for some time to come. Be prepared for this. Hatohiko said to the Kanomiya.

"Is it necessary for the Allied naval power in the Indian Ocean to allow us to use most of the combined fleet?" Muto Akira said with some doubts.

"According to the Imperial Intelligence Service, Britain and France have sent a fleet to the Indian Ocean to protect the security of India, and the purpose of the Empire is to destroy this Allied support fleet and all Allied maritime forces in the Indian Ocean." Hatohiko said to the incense palace.

"With the German Navy in Europe, how could Germany let go of the British and French navies?" Obviously, the doubts in Muto Akira's heart have not been solved.

"This is the request of the Empire, when the Third Fleet of the Empire was completely annihilated by the Chinese Navy, this is a shame that the Empire cannot erase, and it must be washed away with the blood of the enemy. So the Empire saw the Allied Support Fleet as a stepping stone for the Reich Navy to rise again. At the same time, the Reich also proved its strength to Germany by destroying the Allied fleet, so that Germany could increase its scientific and technological support and resource support for the Reich. Hatohiko said to the incense palace.

Hearing Hatohiko Asakanomiya say this, Matsui Ishine and Muto Akira also understood the plan of the base camp. Although the land and sea are not compatible, it is an internal problem after all. As long as it is a victory, they support it. Now the army has achieved a great victory, and in twenty days, it has almost conquered the entire French Indochina, or in the hands of the old British and French powers, which is worthy of pride. Even if the navy also wins, it can only be regarded as a level, and no one needs to be jealous of anyone.

"While the Empire has won a great victory, there is also a potential enemy of ours in Southeast Asia. Chinese. Muto Zhang couldn't help but sigh at this time. Japan seems to be brilliant, but it has always made concessions on the issue of China. This made him very unhappy in his heart, why China can step on Japan's head, and why Japan is only the second in Asia.

"The base camp already knew about the border and China's reception of the Allied forces, and it also made representations to China. But don't expect the result, it's just a routine and won't change anything. Now we can only rely on the occupied territory to rapidly develop the military strength of the Great Japanese Empire, so that we can confront China. Hatohiko also sighed.

"China has developed too fast in recent years, and after 12 years, the military strength of the empire has changed dramatically, but the whole world does not know how strong China's military strength is. To be neighbors with such a potential adversary is the misfortune of the empire. Matsui Ishine was also a little inexplicable.

At this moment, the three of them did not have the same high spirits as they had just talked about the results of the battle, and they looked a little lonely.

"According to the information given by Germany, China's military strength has increased a lot over the years, and even when Germany mentions China's military strength, it is serious and serious. Many German officials have said that they have no certainty of victory over China. Hatohiko said to the Kanomiya.

"There are a million German soldiers who are trained in China, and we all thought that it was a German-trained Chinese army, but obviously this is not the case. And China also helped Germany to build a fleet that was not at all weaker than the Imperial Navy, and this is a problem worth considering. Not to mention anything else, the strength of the Chinese Navy is definitely stronger than that of Germany now, otherwise it would not have helped Germany build such a powerful fleet. Now we only hope that China will not be too strong, otherwise it will be difficult for the empire to turn over. ”

Matsui Ishone's last words have the meaning of raising the anger of others to destroy their prestige, and they are still in front of Hatohiko of Asakanomiya. However, the latter did not blame anything, but nodded. Apparently, Hatohiko Asakanomiya also agreed with Matsui Ishone's words.

Be pragmatic and good at summarizing.

"China has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the empire, but now Germany is in the middle, easing relations between the two countries. Now that the Allies and the Soviet Union were the main priorities of the Empire, the question of China was not something that needed to be considered now, at least not in the next few years. When we digest those lands, we can go to China for a long time. Hatohiko said to the Kanomiya.

Then the three of them talked about some things about the war, and then the banquet ended.

Accompanied by the guards, Hatohiko limped to his barracks.

The observer of the dog slaughter team watching the camp from a distance immediately spotted his figure, which was too recognizable under the light of the base. The main thing is his limping appearance, which is unique to the entire base. And when performing the task, the four of them fully understood the details of the target, and it was naturally impossible for such an important sign of lameness to fall.

After Hatohiko entered his barracks and did not come out for a long time, the observer informed the other three comrades.

"Attention, attention, the target has been spotted, and now the target has entered the second barracks on the left side in the middle of the base, and the target has not come out at this time."

The other three team members showed a little bit of eyes, looked at the barracks from a distance, noted its location, and began to observe the guards around the barracks and the patrol intervals, keeping it all in mind.

Time passed slowly, from the middle of the moon to the early hours of the morning. During this period, the four of them did not move, until the time slowly came to four o'clock. The time had come, and after five o'clock, the sky had begun to lighten, and they were to assassinate the target in half an hour, and then retreat to safety in another half hour.

"Three, this is the observer, there is a dark post in the direction of six o'clock, three meters away, and there are no enemies within fifty meters around."

Hearing the news of the observer, Number Three slowly turned around, and he was lying on his stomach in the mud. Under the cover of the night, slowly turn your face up and take off the breathing mask. Pull out your pistol and pull off the night vision and thermal imagers hidden in camouflage helmets. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the target's head, the trigger was pulled, and the bullet passed through the muffler without making the slightest sound. And the Japanese army secret sentinel, who didn't even know how to die, went to see his Aunt Amaterasu.

This can't be blamed on him, who knows that there is an absolute killing god hidden by his side, and his attention has always been on the distance. He didn't pay attention to his side at all, and it was this negligence that cost him his life. But even if he found out, he couldn't escape death, but the task of the dog slaughtering team would not be completed.

After taking out the Dark Sentinel, Three quietly got up and sorted out his equipment. Then he pulled the corpse of the Japanese soldier to a hidden place, then concealed his figure, put down the night vision device, and quietly touched the Japanese base.
