It can be said that the two successive defeats in the battle against Zhang Xuewu have caused a kind of disagreement within the Yue himself, saying that he is a typical type of bullying the good and fearing the evil, if you respect him, he will bully you, and if you tyrannize him, he will respect you, so within the military headquarters and the staff headquarters, it is divided into two voices, the armistice pact faction led by the little-known Ono Shin Daisa, who advocates not continuing to invest all national strength, and the decisive faction advocated by Major General Nohara Binzo.

Shin Ono of the China Division of the General Staff Headquarters believes that although the Kwantung Army failed in this operation, this does not affect the overall decisive battle plan of the empire, Zhang Xuewu's tenth theater has actually been surrounded by the Northeast and North China, and it is backed by the Soviet Union, lacking space for strategic maneuver, so in every battle, all the officers and soldiers of the [***] tenth theater of operations will not retreat, because there is no way to retreat, the empire must concentrate all its forces again, and if necessary, it can choose to abandon Central China, In a short period of time, he once again carried out a large-scale operation against the 10th War Zone, so that he could not get any rest and replenishment, and dragged down Zhang Xuewu.

Nohara Binzo is relatively very rational, because with today's national strength, I am afraid that Zhang Xuewu has not been dragged down, and the empire has been dragged to exhaustion, and the empire should reach a certain degree of understanding with the Chinese national political axe strategically, even if it is to return Central China as a price, and hand over part of the interests of North China to the Tenth Theater, and the main force will return to Manchuria, reach a strategic secret agreement with Soviet Russia, cut off its military aid to China, and secretly provoke the national political axe and the tenth theater of war to grow and become more and more contradictory.

However, outside of these two factions, Ishihara Waner doesn't see it that way, in Ishihara Waner's opinion, whether it is Shin Ono or Binzo Nohara, they are two fools who are unscrupulous, and they are typical self-righteous people who walk without looking at the ground.

Ishihara is worthy of being called the first soldier, and the saber and camera are Ishihara's lifelong hobbies, Ishihara graduated from the thirtieth class of the Army University as a second member, and after graduation, he studied in Germany, and is one of the few who can read Clausewitz's "On War"! Not only that, Ishihara also developed the theory of "Theory of War", and on the basis of it, sorted out a set of so-called "Theory of Final War"! However, now Ishihara's "Theory of the Final War" deviates greatly from history, because history has changed, and the army suffered two unprecedented defeats in the attack on Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar, which also made Ishihara Waner begin to seriously re-examine his previous strategic propositions.

Ishihara Waner believes that the Yuben Empire must strive to maintain friendly relations with the United States, because Ishihara Waner knows that Yuben and Manchuria have abundant media and iron resources, but the most important strategic resources lacking are oil and rubber, and Ishihara Waner knows that the United States and Britain and other countries that are at war with China and Soviet Russia will not cut off the oil supply of the Empire, and the Soviet Navy is definitely not the opponent of the Combined Fleet, and with Siberia as a backing, Zhang Xuewu, who has lost the support of Soviet Russia, is not afraid!

To this end, it is necessary to be able to eliminate the influence of the oppression of the Soviet, the United States, and Britain, and to strengthen the armaments, especially the air forces, capable of countering the Soviet, American, and British forces, and at the same time do a good job of stabilizing the rear of Manchuria, North China, and adopting the tactics of blockading and encircling the 10th Theater without fighting, and complete the basic work of preparing for a protracted war.

After completing the enrichment of armaments and preparations for a protracted war, first began to work actively to force the Soviet Union to abandon support for China as soon as possible, to conclude a peace treaty with the Soviet Union, to confuse the Soviets with illusions, during this period to try to maintain friendly relations with the United States, to build the strongest defense line in Jinzhou to resist Zhang Xuewu's armored forces, and to equip more advanced fighters as soon as possible, to regain air supremacy, when all preparations are completed, to sign a treaty with the Germans, when Germany attacks the Soviet Union, The Kwantung Army should attack the Far East and even the whole of Siberia with all its might, join forces with the German army in the direction of the Middle East, and when the Soviet Union completely collapses, it will expel British power from East Asia and liberate all the peoples of East Asia.

It can be said that Ishihara's plan is undoubtedly the craziest, and the degree of madness even exceeds that of Shin Ono and Binzo Nohara, and they are still defeated in a fierce battle with Zhang Xuewu's local forces in a war zone, and they are even thinking about the huge red empire that wants to aid him?

The main reason why the Soviets came to aid Zhang Xuewu in the 10th Theater was that they were worried that the Empire, which was very close to Germany, would conclude a treaty with the Germans and attack the Soviet Union from the east to the west, so the Soviets needed a great containment for him, and if he took the initiative to conclude a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union would inevitably reduce or even cut off military aid to Zhang Xuewu and China's political axe.

You must know that a lot of the materials that Zhang Xuewu got were purchased and transported to the Soviet Union by a mysterious consortium from the United States or Europe, and were transported to the Dingyuan camp through the Far Eastern Railway, if the empire and the Soviet political axe concluded a non-aggression pact, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to cutting off Zhang Xuewu's main artery, and in addition to the blockade from the outside line, Zhang Xuewu would not be able to survive for long, and you must know that the more mechanized the troops, the higher the requirements for the supply and support of logistics.

Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar were short of resources, so Zhang Xuewu was bound to take the initiative to attack, which would be much better than the Imperial Army forcibly attacking a strong fortress and facing the enemy's armored forces at ease.

But at this moment! Zhang Xuewu was also very depressed, the great fighter plane was in front of him, but he was unable to attack, and the loss of the fighter plane was undoubtedly the most difficult thing for Zhang Xuewu to accept, because the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in Baotou War I absconded with makeup, after dozens of days of displacement, Tojo Hideki, who escaped by pretending to be sick and dumb, returned to Xinjing, and the Kwantung Army Trust Commander Umezu Mijiro did not embarrass the down-and-out "former" chief of staff, and ordered him to rest well, because the matter of Tojo Hideki had been reported to the military department, Everything has to wait for the decision of the military department.

In fact, history has already undergone major changes here, because the most glorious period of Ishihara's life was when he was promoted to the first head of the General Staff Headquarters, and he was only one step away from the deputy chief of staff, and it seems that this step is not a big step.

Ishihara became famous through the Manchurian Incident, so he became an example for later staff officers to worship and imitate. However, these juniors of Ishihara Waner only have the ambition of being promoted and making a fortune, but they do not have Ishihara Waner's talent! Everyone was excited to see Ishihara Waner's sudden rise to prominence, didn't Ishihara Waner just become famous in one fell swoop after engaging in a Manchurian incident? So the big guys rushed up to follow suit, including the battle plan of giving up the attack on Xuzhou and attacking the 10th Theater of Operations, which included a cadre from the General Staff Headquarters.

Ishihara was the founding father of Manchukuo, who was the founder of Manchukuo in order to prepare for the final war with the United States, and he wanted to build this Manchukuo into a rear base that could be self-sufficient and had a complete industrial system.

However, for Tojo Hideki, the so-called Manchukuo is just three Chinese characters, although Tojo Hideki handed over all military matters to Ishihara Wanji, but Ishihara Wanji does not want this, Ishihara wants political control over Manchukuo, and Tojo Hideki refuses to give up precisely this power.

In fact, during Hideki Tojo's tenure, the so-called Manchukuo has become Hideki Tojo's private world!

Hideki Tojo is the kind of person who is very scheming and has no expression of joy and anger, although he is very dissatisfied with Ishihara, he will never show it like Ishihara, but use his best method, using the gendarmerie to solve the problem! Of course, even Hideki Tojo has no way to openly use the gendarmerie to spy on the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, but the people who were close to Ishihara were taken care of by the gendarmerie, and even the letter sent by Ishihara himself to the former commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, was secretly opened, and Tojo Hideki has been deliberately looking for Ishihara's fault.

In history, Ishihara Waner was also completely defeated in the hands of Tojo Hideki, it can be said that in terms of strategic vision, Tojo Hideki is just a private level, but in terms of playing intrigue and ruthlessness, Ishihara Waner is far from being the opponent of Tojo Hideki, so that he retired miserably!

However, the current situation is that Hideki Tojo has fallen into bad luck, so Ishihara Waner seems to be a little energetic, and the life trajectories of two different people have changed dramatically, just like someone joked that the bamboo pole that Pan Jinlian fell changed the course of Chinese history, generally, if Pan Jinlian did not open the window, if he did not drop the bamboo pole, he would not provoke Ximenqing, Wu Song would not kill angrily, Wu Song would not enter the water to Boliangshan, it would be impossible to capture Fang La with one arm, Fang La's rebellion was successful, and the whole history would be reversed, perhaps colonizing the Americas, Australia, India's Chinese!

At the suggestion of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, Ishihara Waner was appointed as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and the most shocked person after getting the news was Zhang Xuewu, because there are too many erections about what to do in history, and only one Tojo Hideki and Ishihara Waner are militarist fanatical war criminals, but the two are essentially different.

Zhang Xuewu remembered that Ishihara Waner had no children, and after he died, his younger brother Ishihara Rokuro was the one who sorted out his relics and held the funeral! But there is a guy named Shintaro Ishihara, who is very shameless, even if his clan genealogy is very clear, he still firmly believes that Ishihara Waner is his grandfather?
