Chapter 2110: Disputes within the Japanese Army (Part II)
The guys of the army, too, are too much, even for the interests of the army, sacrificing the results that the navy has achieved with great difficulty, in the Pacific theater, the Imperial Japanese Navy occupies a clear upper hand, the American naval warships, do not dare to leave the port, it does not take a long time, the Pacific Ocean is the inland sea of the Imperial Japanese Navy, at this time, the suspension of the offensive in the Pacific theater, is not the bottom of the kettle?
A few young and vigorous admirals could no longer sit still, and they wanted to jump out angrily and fight a verbal lawsuit with the stupid pigs of the army in front of His Majesty the Emperor, but several treacherous and cunning leaders of the naval system saw the mystery of it, and those guys who jumped out of the army were obviously open-mouthed, and with the war potential of the Great Japanese Empire, it was impossible to fight two national wars at the same time, unrealistic?
It's not that the navy is a flock of white pigeons, but they know very well how big their appetite is, and if their strength allows, the navy hopes that their warships can sail to any sea area, and moreover, there is no shortage of scheming guys in the army, who can not come forward to stop them, so a few scheming heavyweight bigwigs in the navy system have sternly stopped those daredevils who want to jump out with their eyes.
Several heavyweights in the naval system have indeed vicious eyes, and sure enough, someone in the army system has jumped out against Vice Admiral Ryuaki Shinno, and he is also one of several giants in the army, and within the army, the Minister of the Army, General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, who has a lot of power.
General Mitsuichi Yonechi was not in a hurry, but his eyes looked at it coldly, Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, head of the operations department of the base camp, and those generals who advocated entering the territory of the Soviet Union, secretly gritted their teeth in their hearts, "Bastard." I don't know how thick the sky is high, and the Kwantung Army, which has lost most of its losses, plus the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army, the combined strength is only nearly 1.8 million people, which is similar to the power of the Kwantung Army in its heyday, and no matter how eager the Soviet Army is to retreat, it still has 4 million people! β
Even if the Imperial Japanese Army pursued closely all the way, if in order to get rid of the harassment, the Soviet army turned around. What should we do if we give the imperial army a blow first, do we have to exhaust the military strength that we have gathered with great difficulty?
Moreover, the Kwantung Army is now covered in bruises. People are sleepy and tired, and it is difficult to fight again. His Majesty the Emperor ordered the Kwantung Army to counterattack Zhukov's troops. I don't agree, but I can't turn the chief of the general staff of the base camp, Prince Zairen, and the most important thing to do at present is to withdraw the Kwantung Army to Manchuria and recuperate. Restore the vitality, and then, look for opportunities, and move from time to time. Wouldn't it be more secure for the Kwantung Army to recover its vitality and become a sharp sword of the Japanese Empire, which could go south to the Pacific theater or north to the Soviet battlefield.
With the war potential of the Soviet Union, it is impossible for the Germans to defeat the Soviets in a short period of time, and the Soviet-German war cannot end soon.
In fact, since the Kwantung Army was surrounded by more than 4 million Soviet troops, General Mitsuichi Minai has never slept well, and he is anxious, in a sense, he cares more about the safety of the Kwantung Army than His Majesty the Emperor, and the Kwantung Army, known as the "flower of the imperial army", is his own position as Minister of War, and he has grown stronger, and all the senior generals are from his own line, and they are also in the imperial military circles, and they can call the wind and rain.
With all his might, racking his brains, and adopting either upright or despicable and shameless means, he fought with the navy, wrestled with Prince Zaihito, and competed with various factions within the army, and finally raised the Kwantung Army fat and strong, but in the blink of an eye, seeing that it was about to be destroyed in the hands of the Soviets, Mitsuru Yonechi was anxious day and night, and the Far Eastern Dispatch Army, which had not yet completed the formation of the local army, hurriedly left for the Far East, which was the result of his own efforts to persuade His Majesty the Emperor.
Now, this guy Ryuaki Shinno, as well as those few fools who don't know the weight of their heads and eggs, and the Kwantung Army to a more dangerous situation, Mitsuru Yonechi gritted his teeth in anger, eager to kick and kill a few bastards, but on his face, he had no experience at all, and his tone was extraordinarily peaceful, with a sincere smile on his face, and a respectable demeanor,
"His Majesty the Emperor, colleagues, Nino Jun is still too young, inexperienced, looking at the overall strategic situation, he still seems immature, his mention is too serious, he only sees the side of the Soviet army that is eager to retreat, but he does not see the hidden danger!" Mi Nei Guangyi said eloquently, amazing, all the big guys, they secretly sighed, in a group of harmonious words, it is very lethal, it seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there are needles hidden in the cotton, there are words in the words, and there is something else!
As soon as Mitsuki Minechi opened his mouth, a few words, he threw a big suspense in front of Emperor Hirohito and a cadre of civil and military ministers, and also piggybacked, and slapped Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno in the face, including Emperor Hirohito, the bigwigs in the Japanese military and political circles, all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear, this army system, the only big man who can wrestle with Prince Zaihito, chief of the general staff of the base camp, any tongue blooming lotus, mouth spitting green lotus, what is the wonderful theory of a master?
Denounced by Michichi Yonechi as a young and inexperienced head of the operations department of the base camp, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, with a blue face, as the head of the operations department in charge of all matters in the base camp, specifically participated in all the overseas military operations of the imperial army, and was well-known in the imperial military circles for his rich experience and sophisticated methods, but now, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he was accused by the highly respected war minister of war as "young, inexperienced, and a little immature!" "Is that a good thing?
Obviously not, this is an insult to my ability and IQ, or rather, it is a blatant suppression, the old guy put on a face of old qualifications, in fact, his set has long been outdated, Lieutenant General Nino Ryuzhao took a deep breath, first glanced at his top boss Prince Zairen, and found that His Royal Highness, drooping eyelids, looked unfathomable, and did not look at himself at all, but Lieutenant General Nino thought that if he did not stop it, he would acquiesce.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno is also ready to go out, and one of the two giants of the army, General Mitsuichi Yonechi, Minister of War, has a good fight, even if he tears his face, he will not hesitate to do so, he has long held his breath, some rigid old decay, occupy important positions in the imperial military circles, vegetarian corpse positions, and criticize the young Zhuang soldiers, they can't get used to it, and they don't give General Mitsui Minai face, what can they do?
What's more, the Imperial Army has always had the following traditions, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno was full of anachronism, and he was determined to be a big troll, bitterly denouncing the rigidity and conservatism within the Imperial Army, even if it could not damage the actual power of the Minister of War, General Mitsuichi Yonechi, he would let this old guy make a mess in front of His Majesty the Emperor, presumably, His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito would also be happy to see this result, right?
Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno was like a doping cockfight, his eyes lit up, he suddenly stood up, and opened a posture of talking about things, unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, swept away the cold eyes, and gently squeezed out a sentence, "I have a clear message, no one is allowed to disturb Minai Aiqing's speech!" β
Detatta, the demigod and half-human Emperor XiΓ , as soon as the royal mouth opened, like a thick iron gate, the gate broke Lieutenant General Nino Ryuzhao, and his stomach was like a surging river, about to rush out, oops, this is uncomfortable, Xinye Ryuzhao was holding back Venus in his eyes, his ears were "buzzing", and countless bees flew together, and his breath was blocked in his throat, he couldn't get out, he couldn't swallow, he almost fainted on the spot, he didn't even know how to sit down, his eyes were straight, and the whole person was stupid.
Mitsuichi is not arrogant, his attitude is still calm, but, his eyes quickly swept over Prince Zaihito's body, and quickly retracted, maybe in his opinion, Shinno Ryuzhao is a stunned green, I don't know how thick the sky is to jump out, but the jumping beam clown, on the policy of the empire, can not have any substantial impact, the real mastermind behind the scenes, which prince is His Royal Highness, Shinno Ryuzhao's cousin, may not be the back of Prince Zaihito's instructions?
But at this moment, it is not appropriate to tear his face with Zairen and make trouble with Cheng DΓΉ, who is in close contact with the army, and it is only serious to solve the problem of the Kwantung Army, Mitsuichi Yonechi bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, and said slowly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, all the monarchs, judging from the current strategic structure of the empire, the focus of military affairs is in the Southwest Pacific theater, and in the Far East, as far as the situation in front of us is concerned, it is really not appropriate to use swords and soldiers, and as for the proposal to use the strength of the country to attack some of the European territories of the Soviet Union, it is even more ridiculous and unrealistic!" β
Emperor Hirohito was obviously very interested in Mionei Koichi's words, leaned forward, and said gently: "Oh, Minai Aiqing, your statement is unique, I want to hear it, what are your subtle statements?" β
Michi Koichi replied calmly: "Your Majesty, it's very simple, in terms of the war potential of the Empire, it is not enough to support two wars of the same scale at the same time, although the Imperial Army has occupied a decisive advantage in the Australian battlefield, but after all, the foundation of the Allies is there, the navy can cut off the maritime connection between the Australian mainland and the mainland of the United States, and isolate Australia from the Pacific Ocean." β
"According to the normal understanding, the Allied forces with no external reinforcements and no potential inside, in the face of the continuous blows of our Imperial Japanese Army, should not be able to support until now, although the Imperial Southwest Pacific Dispatch Army under the command of General Ito has been compressed to the southeast corner of the Australian continent, but it is stiff and not dead, General Ito has repeatedly launched decisive attacks, all of which have received the expected results, and the Australian War cannot end in a short period of time!"
Michichi Minai spoke in surprise again, dropping a bombshell.
