Withdraw from the Chinese battlefield

"Ishihara-kun, since you and the General Staff Headquarters advocate the transfer of troops from China, abandon the entire Chinese battlefield. &*．． Fastest update** Well, could you please give us all a reasonable reason. Otherwise, not only me, but all of you standing here would not agree to this decision, which seems very ridiculous...."Emperor Hirohito asked in a deep voice.

"Ha Yi," Ishihara replied affirmatively. Then, he motioned to his subordinates behind him, quickly spread out a huge map of China, and explained.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the latest intelligence sent by the Chinese army, the total strength of the Japanese army that we invaded China is still 600,000. However, these 600,000 troops, after a strategic counteroffensive launched by the squadron a month ago, have all been compressed into dozens of marked cities on the map. What's more, these 600,000 troops have been surrounded by the heavy troops of the squadron, unable to move, and have lost the least space for movement..."

"The 600,000 troops that have lost their space to move, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, will not be able to play any role in the increasingly bad situation on the entire Chinese battlefield. Standing here are the best people in our Great Japanese Empire, and I believe that everyone should be able to understand what this situation means for these 600,000 troops and for the entire Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Ishihara-kun, if you have anything to say directly, don't hesitate, I forgive you for your innocence...."Seeing the Chief of Staff of Ishihara, who was about to speak in front of him, Emperor Hirohito frowned and spoke.

"Hayi, thank you for your forgiveness...... The minister thinks that judging from the current situation, although there are still 600,000 elites of our army in the entire territory of China. However, these 600,000 elites are of no use to the development of the entire empire and the plan to plunder China's resources, except for the dozens of cities that are surrounded by the squadron and have no supplies for the entire empire. ”

"Ask the ransom to speak boldly; Yu Qi let the 600,000 army become the turtle in the urn of the squadron, wasting time and materials on the Chinese battlefield in vain, it is better to transfer all of them to the Pacific Theater, help our army in the Pacific Theater, change the military pattern of the enemy and us in the Pacific Theater in one fell swoop, and determine the dominant position of our Japanese Empire in the Pacific Theater..." Ishihara Waner bluntly put forward the idea in his heart.

"Yaga, Ishihara-kun, you are simply a disgrace to the Empire. The whole of China was bought by the Imperial Army of Japan at a huge price, so could it be so easy to give up because of the adjustment of the imperial strategy, do you want the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield in China to not even close their eyes to death? ”

Seeing Emperor Hirohito in front of him, his eyes seemed to be a little moved because of Ishihara's explanation. Hideki Tojo, who resolutely did not want to give up the interests that the empire had already achieved in China, could not bear it any longer. Ignoring Emperor Hirohito's warning just now, he pointed directly at Ishihara's nose and cursed loudly.

"Tojo-kun, do you think that even if we don't withdraw our troops, we will still be able to achieve any substantial benefits from China through these 600,000 troops? Don't forget, the remaining 600,000 elites of the entire Japanese invasion of China have been surrounded by more than one million elite regiments in China, and they may become fat in the mouth of the squadron at any time. Do you want these 600,000 elites to be lost in vain on the Chinese battlefield that has no meaning for the development of the Great Japanese Empire? Not to be outdone, Ishihara pointed at Hideki Tojo and asked angrily.

"But... However, no matter what, the huge benefits that the Great Japanese Empire had already acquired could not be let go in vain. Please think twice about His Majesty the Emperor, on the battlefield in China, we must not just give up in vain...."Facing Ishihara's questioning, Tojo Hideki, who didn't know how to answer, said with a hesitant face...... In the face of Tojo Hideki, who had become his opponent, Ishihara didn't show the slightest mercy, and continued to ask: "Interests....It's a big joke." Let me ask Tojo-kun, so far, in the entire territory of China, in addition to the death of a large number of imperial soldiers and the capture of a large number of warriors and expatriates by the squadron, what benefits does the Great Japanese Empire really get. As long as Tojo-kun can list it for me and His Majesty the Emperor, I will no longer insist on what I just suggested, withdraw my troops from China, and abandon the Chinese battlefield..."

Seeing Hideki Tojo, who was facing himself in front of him, and couldn't say a word, Ishihara said straightforwardly.

"Since the 600,000 elite of the empire were surrounded by the squadron, our interests in China, so to speak, have disappeared. Because, without the protection of the army, it is impossible for the squadron to allow even a little bit of resources and materials to flow into the territory of the Great Japanese Empire...."

"Not only that, after the 600,000 elites were surrounded by the squadron, they lost the protection of the army, and a large number of expatriates distributed in China, except for women and children, all the remaining young and middle-aged people became prisoners of the squadron, and became the best free labor force in the hands of the squadron... Now, I would like to ask Tojo-kun what interests my great Japanese empire has in China at present..."

Ishihara's words were like a loud slap that slapped Hideki Tojo's face hard, making Hideki Tojo, who was flushed, unable to speak.

I saw Hideki Tojo with an ugly face and a deflated face in front of him. Marshal Kato, who had been standing in front of the Imperial Court without speaking, seemed to have made up his mind after a short period of thought. Chief of Staff Ishihara, who looked angry in front of him, asked, "Ishihara-kun, if you follow your suggestion, the Imperial ** team will withdraw its troops from China and join the Pacific Theater." So, where will the various mineral raw materials that the empire urgently needs at the moment go? You must know that without the adequate supply of these resources, a large number of military industrial enterprises in the empire will not be able to operate normally. When the time comes, even if we have as many elite troops, we will not have enough weapons and ammunition to fight against the League..."

"Your Excellency Marshal, from the South Seas. Since the squadron began to launch one counteroffensive after another a year ago, the proportion of various resources needed by the empire has begun to tilt towards the Nanyang area, and it will be transported back to China from the Nanyang area by sea..."Ishihara Waner replied.

In the face of Ishihara's answer, Marshal Kato, who had an important influence in the whole of Japan, nodded with great satisfaction, and then said to Emperor Hirohito in front of him: "Your Majesty the Emperor, as Ishihara-kun said, the empire no longer has any interests in the whole of China, and even the most basic resources are transported back to China from the Nanyang area. Then, there is really no need to garrison 600,000 troops in China... You must know that in the current Pacific theater, the entire southward dispatch army, including the entire Combined Fleet, needs these 600,000 troops even more..."

Marshal Kato's words can be said to have a very important influence in the entire imperial front. As soon as his words fell, the ministers who were still opposed just now closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Seeing the silent ministers in front of him, Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, facing Ishihara Waner in front of him, he ordered with a serious face.

"Since Marshal Kato has also agreed to withdraw troops, and no one has objected to it, then I will approve the withdrawal plan....Ishihara-kun, your staff must come up with a withdrawal plan in the shortest possible time, withdraw the 600,000 elites in China to the country, or send them directly to the Pacific theater. In a word, I don't want to hear any more news of the defeat of the imperial ** team on the battlefield........., "Ha Yi, His Majesty the Emperor is wise, and he will do it immediately..." However, after seeing Emperor Hirohito, who had a resolute face in front of him, he could only reply with a wry smile.

The withdrawal of troops from the Chinese battlefield seems to be a very simple matter. After all, after several years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the whole of China has already reached the point of poverty, and it is desperate to get a peaceful yellow essence to develop the economy and people's livelihood.

However, as Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, Liu Hua, who had already brewed a huge conspiracy in his heart, did not want to let 600,000 elites withdraw from China smoothly. Because he wants to let the remaining 600,000 elites in Japan be used as a huge bargaining chip in his hands to blackmail Japan, and even to blackmail the European and American powers......

The General Headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing City, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, with a pair of eyes, stared closely at the world map in front of him. Zuo Quan, the chief of staff, rushed in with an excited face.

Before Liu Hua could react, Zuo Quan's excited voice reached Liu Hua's ears.

"You all go out, and no one can be let in without my orders...."

"Commander-in-Chief, you're really in a state of mind. This is a top-secret piece of information that has just come from the central authorities. According to the investigation of intelligence officers hidden inside Japan, the Japanese top brass has just made a major decision..."

"Are you planning to withdraw troops from China and send 600,000 elites on the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific Theater?"

"Yes, that's the information. In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to drive the little devils out of the city they are holding on to and fight them in the field. Now, without our hands, the little devil will come out on his own. Commander-in-chief, you see, are we opening up a gap in the various encirclements? On the way for the Japanese army to break through and retreat, hit their ambush and annihilate them all..."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan proposed with an excited face.

For his proposal, Zuo Quan, who was full of confidence, thought that the commander-in-chief in front of him would agree. However, unexpectedly. Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief in front of him, did not answer immediately after listening to his suggestion, but showed a mysterious smile that was incomprehensible...
