Chapter 334: The Gathering of Staff Officers

Hearing Ishihara's words, Tohi and the others couldn't help but nod! It is even possible that this person will eventually drive the Kwantung Army out of Manchuria, and it is the Kwantung Army's top priority now to solve this person as soon as possible!

As soon as they thought of this, they couldn't help but admire Ishihara's unique perspective.

Speaking from the heart, Ishihara is an extremely complex person. On the one hand, he is extremely genius! In Meiji 35, Ishihara was admitted to the Sendai Army Regional Infant School.

During this period, he consistently ranked first among the fifty-one students in his class, especially in German, mathematics, Chinese and Chinese, but did not perform well in physical education and sword skills. Later, he entered the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, where his grades were third out of three hundred and fifty students, and he was demoted to sixth place by the school when he graduated because he sometimes rebelled and insulted his district captain.

In the 4th year of Taisho, Ishihara passed the examination and was officially admitted to the Army University. In the subsequent Taisho 7, Ishihara graduated from the Army University in a second-place position, and the chief at that time was led by the later Army Lieutenant General Suzuki.

In April of the 9th year of Taisho, Ishihara went to the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Team stationed in Hankou and stayed for more than a year to inspect Hunan, Sichuan, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

He then concluded that the best way to deal with warlords was that "bribery and propaganda are of greater value than armed warfare", arguing that in China at that time, "officials were corrupt officials, the people were corrupt officials, and soldiers were ruffians; The government oppresses the people, and the government and the people are opposed; In the event of a foreign invasion, the population will not support the government. ”

Sadly, his prediction later became part of the truth. The generals under the chairman's command were exposed to be disarmed by local residents when the Japanese army attacked Henan, and even killed some of them.

Of course, the chairman of the committee will never say that his troops forced the local people to help them build anti-tank trenches, and that they would continue to collect taxes without giving them money. Naturally, the result was disarmed and killed by the angry people.

However, the chairman of the committee and the Nanjing government claimed that it was "committed by bandits" as a fig leaf

However, Ishihara's feelings about China are quite complicated, on the one hand, he is actively preparing for the annexation of Manchuria, Mongolia and then preparing for the attack on China. On the other hand, Ishihara, who was stationed in Chuncheon in Korea in the early years, gathered his subordinates after hearing the news of Sun Guofu's victory in the Xinhai Revolution and explained to them the significance of the revolution, and even later shouted "Long live the Republic of China" with tears in their eyes.

This seems to indicate Ishihara's hope for China, but this hope seems to be fading away in the warlord melee. Perhaps, he gradually believes that China has really declined.

However, in the later stages of the war, Ishihara hoped that Japan would not expand the scale of the war. In 1937, at the time of the 77 Incident, he served as the chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters.

At that time, the General Staff Headquarters was opposed to expanding the front again, and Ishihara, who wanted to prepare for the war against the Soviet Union, did not support the investment of so many materials and manpower on the Chinese front.

At the same time, Akira Muto, a staff officer at the same time, ridiculed Ishihara's policy, saying, "I am just imitating what His Excellency Ishihara did during the Manchurian Incident at that time."

Ishihara then continued to advocate his "policy of non-expansion" and actively participated in the "Todman Mediation" and other work, which formed a strong opposition to the plan of Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army at the time. In September of the same year, he was demoted from the General Staff to the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army in the institutional reform of the General Staff Headquarters.

After that, Ishihara was idle because of a fierce conflict with another popular fried chicken of the Japanese army, Hideki Tojo! Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army was completely defeated in the Middle East Road War! Even the Northeast Navy was completely destroyed! ”

Saying that, Ishihara Wan'er seemed to think of something and smiled slightly: "At that time, I thought that the Northeast Army was really nothing more than that!" We don't even need to pull out the command knife, we only need to use the bamboo knife to scare this young marshal down~"

Hearing Ishihara's words, the staff officers of the Kwantung Army couldn't help laughing! At that time, they didn't think like this, and even they had great confidence in their own independent occupation of Manchuria!

"However, this perception has changed after the return of that tiger!" Seeing the light in Ishihara's eyes, he said in a deep voice: "His appearance turned the entire battle around, and he annihilated Shi Yousan, who threatened the forces in the Northeast Army!" But after returning to the division, the Far Eastern Army of the Soviet Army was almost wiped out! He even made us all have to stop the long-prepared plans! ”

As he spoke, Ishihara took a deep breath! He said solemnly to these staff officers: "We must pay attention to him!" Because now the troops he can command have reached more than 100,000 people in a legion! When he was only an army, he dared to challenge the 80,000-strong Soviet Far Eastern Army! When he was just forming the First Army, he dared to challenge the two divisions of the empire! This is a dangerous character! It's a terrible character! It's a figure we must annihilate!! ”

"My suggestion is: inform the General Staff Headquarters of our ideas, and ask the General Staff Headquarters to make coordination!" I saw Ishihara Wan'er whispering to Kenji Tohihara and the others: "Our plan must be carried out!" This is really about the survival of the empire! Once the empire loses its lifeline, it will be the most fatal blow to the empire! ”

As he spoke, Ishihara took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen! Please work with me! For the Empire! Please! ”

"Hail!! For the Empire!! These staff officers of the Kwantung Army stood up with red eyes, bowed deeply to Ishihara and roared in a low voice!

At this time, Tu Qianjun in Mukden was preparing a material. This material is related to the renewal of the equipment of his Third Legion.
