Chapter 20 Rising Stars of the Military Department

Winter is getting closer and closer, the White Russian army in Ufa is unexpectedly tenacious, and history seems to have a tendency to be distorted again. In order to protect the normal operation of the Guò Trans-Siberian Railway, the Wehrmacht, at the request of the British government, reluctantly sent a road convoy, consisting mainly of an infantry division and ten ironclad trains.

Siberia is so large that an infantry division is distributed along the railway, barely able to secure the railway from Novosibirsk to Irkutsk, and the rest of the road can only be relied on by the White Russians themselves. In any case, this move of the Wehrmacht undoubtedly deeply touched the nerves of the Soviet power. On the one hand, at the high-level meeting within the Soviet Union, the ambitions and aggressive nature of Chinese imperialism were once again exposed, and on the other hand, a resolution was urgently circulated and a statement was issued again that the Soviet power wished to enter into a dialogue with the Chinese Government and was willing to negotiate on the historical question of the territorial existence of the two countries.

Compared with the losers of the Soviet regime, Kolchak, who was trapped in Ufa, and the White Army, as well as the various ministries, did not make any statements about the positioning of Sino-Russian relations, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

Krasnoyarks, at the end of September, Siberia was already bitterly cold, and the headquarters of the 53rd Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht was located here, and the division commander Li Daxiong was deeply dissatisfied with the promising profession of the road guard. It is really irritating that people in Siberia are freezing to death in winter, and they cannot spend the winter in Irkutsk, which has been repaired for more than a year.

Not being able to go to Europe to fight is a pity for Li Daxiong. I hoped that the Russian army in the Far East would resist somehow, but the Russian army had no fighting spirit, but the Soviet Russian red armed forces scattered in the Far East were quite tenacious, and nearly 100 casualties were brought to the 53rd Infantry Division in the process of clearing and suppressing.

Li Daxiong, who was temporarily transferred to Krasnoyarks, had no choice but to accept the military order and be incorporated into the Mongolian Military Region, no matter how much he was dissatisfied. Former out of Krasnoyalks. According to the order, after arriving, he immediately began to prepare for the winter, which means that this winter can only be tormented in this ghost place.

Li Daxiong is still the old way, recruiting labor on the spot and building living facilities for winter. I don't know what the Ministry of Defense thinks, and sent him an engineering division to complete the preparations for the winter before the winter comes.

For this difficult winter, the Mongolian Military Region transferred all the wagons and locomotives that could be mobilized. A steady stream of supplies was sent from Kulen and Harbin to the Far East. Coal for heating, blankets for wintering, food and medicine. Train after train kept coming, and most of them turned around here, and at least a few of them continued westward. Send a little life-threatening supplies and munitions to the White Russian army in Ufa.

Winston Churchill, the British War Secretary of State who was extremely hostile to the Red Regime, was still clamoring all over the world to intensify his intervention. The squadron stretched out its tentacles to the west in an unhurried and orderly manner, and the Japanese government repeatedly stressed the difficulties and refused to leave the east coast.

On the one hand, they made arrangements in the Far East, and on the other hand, Wang Zhengting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, and Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, visited Japan upon invitation. At the press conference, Wang Zhengting said: China and Japan will only be good if Asia is good. Last year, Foreign Minister Uchida will hold friendly consultations on the future cooperation between China and Japan on the road to rejuvenating Asia. Jiang Fangzhen said: The Chinese and Japanese militaries should deepen exchanges, and a peaceful Asia is beneficial to both China and Japan.

The government of the Republic of China and the government of Japan unanimously said that this is a journey of peace! It is a journey of peace in Asia and the world.

Yokohama. In an ordinary house, a discussion is going on.

"The cabinet has completely degenerated, they are constantly compromising with the government of China, and the blood of the imperial warriors in the Far East has been shed in vain." Toushan was hoarse. It was established on February 23, 1901 with the aim of seeking to acquire the Heilongjiang River basin as Japanese territory. The name of the association comes from Heilongjiang. At the time of its founding, its purpose was: "To review the overall situation of East Asia and the imperial vocation, and to thwart the eastward trend of the West's power in order to prosper the economy of East Asia, the immediate task at present is to start a war with Russia, repel it in East Asia, and to unite Manchuria, Mongolia, and Siberia, and build the foundation for the management of the continent." Interestingly, in 1905, the League collaborated with the Black Dragon Society in an attempt to overthrow the Manchus.

The original wish of the Black Dragon Society is now becoming more and more distant. After the contact battle between the Japanese army and the squadron in the Far East, they did not even have the courage to resist, which made the soldiers of the Japanese mainland faction and extremist organizations such as the Black Dragon Society extremely angry. There has never been a shortage of madmen in Japan, and the gathering that is going on at this moment is planning an assassination operation to provoke a war between China and Japan. The Great Nippon Empire was invincible, and its failures were the result of incompetent governments.

At the same time as the Black Dragon Society gathered, a group of Japanese soldiers were also gathering in Tokyo.

More than a dozen cutting-edge Japanese officers, including Nagata Tetsuyama, Ishihara Wanji, Ishinaka Fubi, Itagaki Seishiro, Kenji Dohihara, Ryosuke Isoya, and Kawada Otsushi, gathered together to find a direction for the future of Japan.

"Wang Zhengting and Jiang Fangzhen have already set off and will be in Nagasaki in the near future. Gentlemen, between the Japanese branches, in a sentence, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers. China bought five battleships from the British, and the navy was already crazy. Kawada became more and more like a Japanese army officer, and in a sarcastic tone, he teased the Japanese navy.

Yamagenbei yelled at the cabinet, declaring that the navy must build four more Ise-class or larger battleships or lose control of the Sea of Japan. If I'm not mistaken, the Hyuga was commissioned last year. If the bill is passed, the Japanese Army, let alone new equipment, will probably not even be able to pay military salaries. Itagaki Seishiro expressed his dissatisfaction gloomily, the Japanese army has been bullied miserably over the years, and the top and bottom are holding their breath to add new equipment.

"Shi Zhongjun, you know the most about China, let's talk about what to do." Ishihara glanced at Shi Zhong, who had been silent, and this gentleman was holding the teacup in his hand, his eyes focused on the teacup as if he had seen a clue.

"In today's imperial department, the mainland faction is still the mainstream, and some people are still dreaming of seizing Mengman." Shi Zhong said lightly, and Ishihara Wan'er said with disdain: "Are you talking about that senior soldier Tojo?" ”

Hideki Tojo was active during his time at the Ministry of the Army, and he talked about serving the emperor all day long. The people here are very unhappy with him. Ishihara Guaner directly judged his military talent, that is, the level of a high-class soldier, and God knows how Tojo graduated from the Army University.

"During my time at Lu University, I was taken care of by Senior Tojo, please don't say that, Senior Tojo! Please! Kawada bowed to Ishihara and whispered. Ishihara smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, Kawada-kun is a loyal gentleman, I won't embarrass you." ”

Kawada's identity in this party is very interesting, after graduating from Lu University, he has been serving as a staff officer in the Ministry of the Army, and he has been relatively low-key for the past two years. However, in this frequent gathering, Kawada's military talents were fully recognized.

Especially in the early stage of the Russian Civil War, Kawada concluded that the organizational and mobilization capabilities of the White Russian government were a piece of shit, and the aristocracy was extremely strong, and the roots could not defeat Soviet Russia. Now that everything has been fulfilled, it has undoubtedly improved Kawada's status in this group.

"I think that Japan-China relations will still focus on cooperation for a long time to come. Especially in the Far East, if we can't join forces with China, the territory that we have finally obtained from the Far East may not be able to hold on. Now that the Chinese army is in front, our army can calmly lay out in the Far East. The words of Ishinaka did not distinguish between them, which resonated with Kawada Otsumi.

"The words of Shizhong's predecessors won my heart, the territory of China is vast and the population is large, as long as it is a unified China, it is not something that the empire can covet independently. It is better to cooperate with China and obtain the interests of the Far East first. The same is to expand the territory, the empire hardly needs much investment, as long as it maintains a tacit understanding with the government of China, it can achieve its goal, why risk going to war with China? ”

"Wait a minute, Kawada-kun, just now you said that Japan and China are one mountain in Asia, why did they change here?" The interrupt was Kenji Dohihara, the spy leader, who didn't have much room to play in this time and space.

"Tu Fei Yuan-kun, don't embarrass Kawada-kun with a fierce attitude." Ryosuke Isoya opened his mouth with a grin, looking at Kawada with encouraging eyes. "Thank you Isoya-senpai, actually, I think it's very good that there can only be one winner in Asia between Japan and Japan, and I don't waver in that. In my opinion, the best way to deal with Shina is one word: wait! Kawada was afraid of Kenji Tsuchihara, and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

This group of officers, which began to take shape in the Qingdao War, slowly expanded. At present, a situation has been formed, led by Nagata Tetsuyama, Ishihara Waner, Itagaki Seishiro, and Kenji Dohihara, and the status of others is relatively low. In Japan, the registration system is strict, and under normal circumstances, Kawada is afraid of this junior who talks nonsense, and the slap is light.

However, in this group, because of Kawada's outstanding talent, he often foresees the outcome of many things in advance, and is very valued by everyone. And in just a few years, it has been given the reputation of a "new star of the military department".

Nagata Tieshan, who has always seemed very patient, frowned slightly when he heard this, and hesitated to glance at Ishihara. Nagata Tetsuyama also admires Kawada and thinks he is the most talented of the younger generation in the Japanese military circles.

After Ishihara and Nagata Tetsuyama exchanged glances, he knew that Nagata didn't want to put too much pressure on Kawada, so he never questioned him, Nagata was the boss of these people, and if he didn't express his position, he would be accommodating to Kawada.

Ishihara took over and said, "Then Kawada-kun, what do you mean by waiting?" ”
