The change in the route of Japan's invasion of China took place in the war in southern Anhui, which had just been announced by the newspapers, and almost all the people in the entire country of China immediately gathered their eyes on this battle that was related to the survival of the entire nation. At the same time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also began to wage an unprecedented public opinion war through newspapers and radio, using all their strength to win the support of the people throughout the country......

Of course, there is no doubt about the final outcome of this unprecedented public opinion war.

Although, Chiang Kai-shek's central government controlled most of the newspapers and radio stations in the entire country. However, in the face of the facts, coupled with the victories achieved one after another through the front-line combat units in the past few years of the Anti-Japanese War, the increasing prestige in the country, and the amplitude of the Kuomintang Central Committee, which repeatedly quibbled, was finally defeated very helplessly.

As a result, immediately with the end of this war of public opinion, huge demonstrations began to be held all over the country. He demanded that Chiang Kai-shek's Central Government immediately stop the civil war, continue to cooperate with the Central Government, form a united front, jointly resist the aggression of Japan, and win the final victory of the War of Resistance......

However, in the face of China, which is a growing threat to its dominance and domestic prestige. At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek, who had already made a decision, would certainly not be easily defeated by these public opinions. Because at this moment, he also believes in a truth that the main set of máo once said, that is, 1 gun out of the power of power,. As long as he can win the battle in the Suzhou-Anhui theater, successfully expel or completely annihilate the troops of the New Fourth Army, and firmly control Central China in his own hands. Then, the final victory will be your own......

In the whole country, everyone's eyes were all focused on the time of the sudden war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. As the sworn enemy of the Chinese nation, Japan, which invaded the Chinese nation, also set its sights on this incident at the first time.

This is because everyone believes that as long as the united front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is broken, the current battlefield situation on the land of China will undergo earth-shaking changes......

For a time, news about the resumption of civil war in China began to be transmitted to China through telegrams, and the Japanese spies hidden in China were transmitted to China as soon as possible............

After receiving the information from the country, the chief of staff immediately smiled on his face. Then, under the puzzled gaze of the staff officers of the General Staff, he said excitedly: "Yo Xi, the opportunity for the counteroffensive belonging to the Great Japanese Empire has finally arrived, and the despicable Chinese can only be the slaves of the Great Japanese Empire forever............ I want to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately and report this exciting good news to His Majesty the Emperor."

After speaking, the chief of staff with a smile on his face took the telegram in his hand, and under the eyes of all the staff officers behind him, he quickly rushed out of the staff headquarters and "ran towards the palace not far away......

In Emperor Hirohito's bedroom, he felt very tired after a day of review.

At this moment, he is under the massage of the palace NV, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji not far from the palace. And at this moment, his own sh servant ran over in a hurry, "Interrupt his Yaxing alive."

"What's wrong, so panicked" threw all the "......" in front of the royal face...... After glaring at the very uninteresting sh servant in front of him dissatisfied, Emperor Hirohito asked angrily.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, that the Minister of Staff has requested your summons outside the Imperial Palace, saying that there is something important to report to you personally. Be sure to have your ministers report to you immediately and ask His Majesty the Emperor to atone for your sins"...... In the face of Emperor Hirohito's anger, beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared on the forehead of the servant officer. Then, he replied with a panicked face.

"Forget it, the chief of staff is so anxious to meet me, something must have happened.

Let's go to the main hall and summon the chief of staff......." Emperor Hirohito's brows immediately furrowed. Facing the sh servant in front of him, he ordered with an impatient face.

"Hayi ......""...... In the main hall, I saw the chief of staff in front of me with an excited face. Emperor Hirohito, who was still worried just now, immediately furrowed his brows. Immediately, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he asked with a puzzled face. ,

"I don't know if Aiqing is so anxious to meet the mask, is there any urgent thing going on in the war ahead?" "Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister does have a very important military situation to report to Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision in person" ...... "...... The Chief of Staff replied in the affirmative.

When he saw Emperor Hirohito in front of him, as his words just fell, the brows that had just been stretched out immediately furrowed quickly wrinkled. The chief of staff knew that it must be the emperor in front of him who had misunderstood his words. Well, at this point, the chief of staff hurriedly explained, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. It's a good thing"............,

Subsequently, under the expectant gaze of Emperor Hirohito, the chief of staff quickly reported the resumption of the civil war in China and the whole thing to Hirohito Tenaki in front of him, and at the same time, he also handed the telegram in his hand to His Majesty the Emperor in front of him. Then, he stood motionless on the main hall, waiting for Emperor Hirohito's order............

"I can't believe what kind of nation the ancient China is. Our troops invading China are at a stalemate when they are caught in the huge battlefield of China. Our opponents. It gave us such a great opportunity. It's really the Imperial Army, the ...... of the Imperial Army" After carefully reading the telegram in his hand, Emperor Hirohito's face immediately showed a look of shock, and he asked with an incredulous expression.

However, in just a moment, a shocked face was enveloped by a thick sense of joy. Then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he said excitedly: "Aiqing, who else knows about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty. After the old minister got the news. Knowing the importance of this matter, he entered the palace to meet His Majesty as soon as possible. So far, this news, apart from Your Majesty, is only known to the old minister," the chief of staff hurriedly replied.

"Yo Xi, today, I will give a big surprise to all the ministers...... what are you doing in a daze, immediately give Aiqing a ......, in addition, immediately inform the Minister of the Navy, "The Minister of War and the Minister of the Interior, immediately enter the palace to hold an emergency imperial meeting, quickly." I am here, waiting for the arrival of all Aiqing......" Hearing the answer of the Chief of Staff, Emperor Hirohito immediately commanded the servant officer in front of him.

"Ha Yi ......" may be the three ministers who knew that Emperor Hirohito was sitting in the main hall waiting for their arrival.

In less than ten minutes, the three old ministers rushed into the main hall out of breath. After saluting Emperor Hirohito in the main hall, he sat down on the stool that the servant had prepared and was ready to rest.

However, at this moment, Emperor Hirohito, who was excited, did not give everyone this opportunity.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Emperor Hirohito took out the telegram in his hand that he had read several times," he said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a very important matter that needs to be discussed with you in such a hurry.

Before I discuss this, I would like to show you the good news......"

After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to the Minister of the Interior, who was sitting in front of him......

A few minutes later, after reading the telegram in his hand, the faces of the three people who were still panting just now were immediately enveloped by a moving spirit. Then, almost at the same time, they fell to their knees together. The Prime Minister, who was at the front of the three, first looked at Emperor Hirohito in front of him, and said with a moving face: "Your Majesty, I really have a big Japanese Empire............ The resumption of the civil war in China is "an exciting piece of good news for the more than one million warriors of the Imperial Army who are deeply trapped in the battlefield of China." As long as we can make good use of this civil war, the war on the battlefield in China will definitely end ahead of schedule, and nearly one million troops of the Yellow Army will definitely be liberated from this quagmire......

"Yo Xi" Aiqing, please come up, this is indeed exciting good news............" Seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to speak.

"The reason why I have summoned everyone here is to discuss with all Aiqing, in the face of such a good opportunity, what should I do with the Imperial Army...... Tojo-kun, the army of the Great Japanese Imperial Army was the main force on the battlefield of the Central Kingdom. And you, the Minister of War of the Empire. What do you think our empire should do in response to this change? After a short period of thought, he has always advocated the use of force to solve all problems, and has never looked down on the Chinese Hideki Tojo, so he immediately stood up from his seat and replied confidently.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that our Imperial Army should take advantage of the favorable opportunity in China to launch a new round of attacks. In the shortest possible time, destroy the living forces of the Chinese army. Finally, the complete occupation of the whole of China, "......"

In response to Hideki Tojo's answer, Emperor Hirohito did not answer immediately, but nodded his head. Then, he set his eyes on the chief of staff......

Seeing Emperor Hirohito's gaze, Chief of Staff Jinhito stood up unyieldingly. Then, he replied in the affirmative.

"Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with Tojo-kun's proposal............ The old minister Bi Wei, the current local internal luàn in the country of China, does not have much impact on the overall situation in China. "At present, the entire northeast of China and North China has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Field Army led by **, and ...... confrontation with our heroic imperial army troops, the war in Central China, at least, can not affect the war situation in these two places. And with the two places in North China and Northeast China, the existing strength of our Great Japanese Empire does not have any strength at all, and it is ...... to launch a counter-uprising."

Regarding the analysis of the chief of staff in front of him, Emperor Hirohito nodded appreciatively and spoke.

, "Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, you go on............"

......At present, the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China are divided, and the civil war has broken out again. It doesn't have much impact on the above-mentioned areas though. However, I can say with certainty that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will certainly not engage in any further military cooperation in future battles. And we can concentrate a lot of forces and break them all. Therefore, Lao Chen asked His Majesty to immediately change the original route of invasion of China, concentrate limited forces, and first deal with the Kuomintang army in the south. Then, in a chōu transfer of troops, go north to solve the ** army ......"

For this pleasant idea put forward by the chief of staff, the entire hall, including Emperor Hirohito, was on the faces of the people. All lù out of the contemplative god sè. A few minutes later, it was Emperor Hirohito who spoke first.

"Aiqing, tell me your reason?"

"Hayi. Lao Chen thought that after several years of fighting, the Imperial Army of our Great Japanese Empire must have a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the first army and the Kuomintang troops. At the same time, the Kuomintang army, although it was all under the leadership of the Kuomintang Central Government. However, its internal intrigue and factions have become known to everyone. On the contrary, the army led by ** was unprecedentedly united, and the equipment of the troops became more and more good as the Mukden Arsenal changed hands. I believe that if we were to choose an opponent, we would definitely choose the Kuomintang army instead of the difficult ** troops. ”

"That's one thing, and there's another important reason. At present, the Northeast Field Army, which is operating in the three eastern provinces, has surrounded nearly one million troops of our Kwantung Army, and according to the current development trend, there is a danger of being completely annihilated at any time. At the same time, a large number of strategic materials and resources in the entire three eastern provinces have been unable to be transported to China. ”

"And with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the US Pacific Fleet was hit by the destruction of XN.

The entire Pacific Ocean has become the backyard of the combined fleet of our great Japanese empire. If we can completely occupy all the areas south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains of the Central Kingdom. Then, the abundant resources of the entire southern part of the country can be transported back to China by sea............"

"Papapa......" "...... As soon as the Chief of Staff's words fell, Emperor Hirohito, who was smiling, couldn't help but start applauding. In the entire hall, several supreme leaders of the "Japan" also followed closely and began to applaud. Even the blind and arrogant Winter Attack had to admit that the Chief of Staff's advice was better than his own, and he couldn't help but applaud movingly............

"Yo Xi Aiqing is worthy of being the loyalty of my great Japanese empire. How can I not be strong if I have a loyal minister like Aiqing in my empire......?" Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if you have any other opinions on the suggestions of the Chief of Staff? Emperor Hirohito said with a look of excitement.

After receiving a negative answer from everyone, Emperor Hirohito's face was immediately shrouded in a solemn god. Then, he asked Hideki Tojo in front of him. , "Tojo-kun, you are the Minister of War, and you must have a very familiar understanding of the Imperial forces in China. In your opinion, in response to the chief of staff's suggestion, what kind of adjustments should be made to the deployment of our troops invading China? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thought. The troops of the Kwantung Army, which are currently operating in Manchuria, are facing the encirclement and suppression of the Northeast China Field Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Soviet Red Army from three sides, and the supply of troops is difficult, and there is a serious shortage of heavy weapons, and there is a danger that the entire army will be annihilated at any time. Therefore, Lao Chen suggested that instead of falling into the end of the annihilation of the whole army, the troops of our Kwantung Army should take the initiative to abandon Manchuria, leave a certain number of troops, and slow down the pace of the Northeast Field Army to recover the whole of Manchuria. The main force immediately broke through and joined the battle sequence against the Kuomintang army with the cooperation of the combined fleet. As for the North China Front, it will not move, and after dealing with the Kuomintang army in the south, it will cooperate with the main force to retake the North China region...... "Under the questioning of Emperor Hirohito, a huge battle plan was immediately formed in Tojo's mind. Then, he spoke............

"Yo Sai, Chief of Staff, do you have anything else you need to add to Tojo-kun's battle plan......?" After nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Hirohito asked the chief of staff in front of him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister fully agrees with Tojo-kun's Fangtai............ Very well, now I order, the Army General Staff, to immediately draw up the corresponding battle plan.

Immediately after passing through my divine moon, it will be executed. I hope that when the next Imperial Council is held, the Imperial Army Corps will be able to give me a huge surprise............" After speaking, before everyone could react, Emperor Hirohito quickly walked out of the palace with a confident smile............

"Greetings to Your Majesty......"

In this way, when the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down and the civil war broke out again, the line of Japan's invasion of China was changed sideways. At this moment, on the battlefield of the great front, the high-level personnel of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are still unclear that a huge conspiracy is looming over their heads............

Of course, that's all for later. Less than a day after the Imperial Council was held, a secret telegram was transmitted to the Kwantung Army Headquarters of Chang Chūn through telegram B.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Commander Mitsu had a face on his face, although he was very unwilling. However, at this moment, he was completely in trouble, and he knew very well that the empire's decision this time was very wise for the current imperial army............

In his heart, after J Lie's struggle, Mitsu finally chose to obey his orders every time he was a general......

"Signal soldier, inform the chief of staff immediately, come to my office, and ...... quickly" Commander Mitsu gave a resolute look on the face of each Lang clamping general. Then, very decisively ordered. @
