Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the First Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency, General!"

"What's the matter?" The commander of the First Army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, was drinking tea and listening to the play in the theater, and he and the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, were in full conflict with each other.

Terauchi Shou wanted to get him away early in the morning, and found an obedient commander of the First Army, and Kazuki Kiyoji also gave him a cold confrontation, basically just asking about military affairs, and leaving it to the people below to deal with, he was drunk and dreamed of death, and the wind and snow were snowy.

However, there will be no such good days.

With the First Army also participating in the war, Kazuki Kiyoji knew that the old man in the temple would definitely find a way to get him away, and he also saw it, there was no need to fall in love with this position.

"Your Excellency the Terauchi General sent an urgent telegram, something happened to the 'Iron' Group, this matter is related to the 14th Division, this is a telegram from the Front Army Headquarters."

As soon as Kiyoji Kazuki saw the content of the message, his face suddenly changed.

The head of the Operations Section of the First Army General Staff, Tomomi Miharu, was already waiting at the headquarters, and this incident happened so suddenly that he was also caught off guard.

The Second Army is estimated to have received similar information.

This will be a violent earthquake for the North China Front, and it is estimated that the country will soon know the news, and the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, is already furious.

It is a great shame that a Japanese lieutenant general was captured on the battlefield, along with more than 40 other senior generals.

Compared with Lieutenant General Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who I was captured in Nanjing, if this news breaks out, the whole world will see the joke of the Japanese Army.

What is even more serious is that when the army sees the navy in the future, it will raise its head even more, and His Majesty the Emperor will become more dependent on the navy and lose trust in the army.

He didn't know about others, but Kazuki Kiyoji knew that he couldn't run away from the responsibility of Shouichi Terauchi in this matter, and he must have lost his official position and resigned.

As for Shouichi Terauchi, it's hard to say whether he can pass this hurdle.

Although Kazuki Kiyoji doesn't like Terauchi Shouichi who has an aristocratic face all day long, and picks his nose and eyes at others, as long as others don't follow his will, he loves to wear small shoes for people and retaliate, he looks down on this kind of person, relying on a good background, commanding.

If he hadn't been born in a noble family, he might not have been able to achieve his current high position, but now the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope.

The root of this matter is Kenji Dohihara, who is now his direct subordinate, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for supervision.

And Terauchi Shouichi is relatively speaking, the responsibility in this matter is not great, he is only jointly and severally responsible, but this is enough for him to end his military career, at least the marshal can't be a marshal.

But Shouichi Terauchi will definitely put the blame on him, and he is the best person to carry the blame.

Kiyoji Kazuki now has the heart to kill Kenji Dohihara.

It was an extremely serious mistake to change the battle plan of the military headquarters without authorization, resulting in more than 40 high-ranking officers, including Ryosuke Isoya, commander of the 10th Division, being captured by the Chinese.

Of course, Ryosuke Isoya is not without responsibility, if he does not cooperate himself, if Kenji Dohihara wants to conspire with him, he will not easily fall into the hands of the Chinese, as well as the more than 3,000 remnants of the Fuji Prefecture.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"What a good thing you did with Tu Feiyuan!" The telegram in Kiyoji Kazuki's hand smashed into Tomokin's face, and it was obvious that Tomokinmiharu must have been involved in this matter, but he didn't say it to himself.

Now that something has happened, someone needs to carry the black cauldron, and he is the only one who can carry this black cauldron, and now it is useless to arrest Youjin Meiqing.

"Send a telegram to Kenji Dohihara right away, ask what the hell is going on, go quickly!" Kiyoji Kazuki ordered angrily.

"Hay!"

Kenji Dohihara didn't know at this time, because the rear side was already in turmoil, and even the Tokyo side knew about it, and was preparing to hold an emergency meeting, and the secret agencies in China were all mobilized to inquire about some news that could be inquired about.

The capture of a lieutenant general division commander is definitely a big deal for Japan, a great event, the former Prince Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace, although both China and Japan knew that the person was captured and was held somewhere in Chongqing, but the Chinese side did not announce it to the public, and the Japanese side also dealt with it as a "missing person" in a low-key manner.

Therefore, this "disappearance" incident did not cause much international waves, at most, some people who like to explore secrets to dig out the clues inside, most of them are also false.

However, if it is confirmed that a lieutenant general and division commander and dozens of subordinate officers are captured, the impact will be great.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has cut off official contact with the Chinese side, and at this time, the Japanese side has no choice but to urgently activate some secret contact methods.

For example, through certain channels in Hong Kong.

"Brother Suke, why didn't anyone inform me of such an important news that Ryosuke Isoya was captured?" Wang Zhaoming broke into Lao Jiang's office and asked in person.

"Brother Zhaoming, where did you hear this news?" Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, this news was only known to a few leaders of the Military Commission, because the news had not been fully confirmed, and the Military Commission ordered it to be sealed and strictly ordered to spread to the outside world.

Although Wang Zhaoming is the vice president of GMD, in fact, he is mostly in charge of administrative work, and only participates in the military side, but he still has the right to participate in and express his opinions on some major military decisions.

"You don't care where I got the news, just tell me, is there such a thing?" Wang Zhaoming realized that he was too impulsive and did not think clearly, so he ran over to question, which may have exposed the secret of his secret connection with the Japanese side.

"This is still being verified."

"So that's the case?" Wang Zhaoming felt a burst of shock, Lao Jiang's defense and suspicion of him became more and more serious, GMD got a secretary general, completely put him as a vice president, the Executive Yuan, Sun Ke and the Kong family, and the party affairs Erchen, no matter how it goes, he will soon become a commander of the light pole.

"Brother Zhaoming, these false news, the people below can't just report it, if you make a mistake, you will be responsible." Lao Jiang smiled slightly, it seems that Wang Zhaoming's contact with the Japanese is very ordinary, and he got the news so quickly.

In the future, we must be more vigilant, we can't let this surnamed Wang leak the secrets of the state government to the Japanese, of course, he won't now, if he sells all the secrets, he himself will be worthless.

"This party-state is almost your own!" Wang Zhaoming angrily brushed his sleeves away.

"Call Dai Yunong to me!" Looking at Wang Zhaoming's departing back, the smile on Lao Jiang's face quickly disappeared, and he ordered the attendants and guards around him.

Wang Zhaoming returned to his office and immediately called Zhou Fohai over, and the two talked secretly in the office for a long time.

An hour after Zhou Fohai left, a top-secret telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was forwarded to the War Department on the desk of the Lu minister's office at the Japanese Army headquarters in Tokyo.

Since Sugiyama Moto, the prime minister of the land, had already planned to resign from the position of the prime minister of the land and went through the hospitalization procedures for the reason of illness, this physical examination really found out that something was wrong, and Sugiyama Mototo had appendicitis and needed immediate surgery.

In this way, Sugiyama Mototo, just found an excuse to put this mess down, and the newly appointed deputy minister of the army was Hideki Tojo, who had just been promoted from the position of chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.

Hideki Tojo was also a supporter of the expansionist faction against China, advocating the conquest of China by force, which also won the support of many fascist soldiers in Japan.

But at this moment, he also encountered a rather difficult problem, which, if not solved, was likely to ruin his future prospects.

Hideki Tojo is not a fool either, although he said that he is temporarily acting as Minister of War, but he is not Minister of War after all, and on the issue of the selection of Minister of War, he knows that he has no hope, how can anyone who has just been promoted to vice minister and then promoted to another level, that would be too hated.

However, after this incident, it is estimated that the hearts of those who are vying for the Minister of War are also half cold.

Find someone to blame, just right, isn't there still a legitimate Minister of War?

Picking up the top-secret message on the table, Hideki Tojo went straight to the Imperial Army General Hospital.

Hideki Tojo came to the hospital in a hurry, and when he asked, not long after Lu Xiang Sugiyama entered the operating room, he was undergoing cecal surgery inside.

Tojo Hideki's face was ugly, Sugiyama Moto, an old thing, actually used this trick to avoid trouble, didn't it mean that his appendicitis was not too serious, and the operation was not arranged for him immediately?

It's not a coincidence, it's not a coincidence, but it's time to catch up?

Although cecal surgery is not a major operation, why does it take a week to lie in the hospital bed to come down, and who else is he going to blame for a week?

Hideki Tojo thought about it for a while, and still found someone to take the blame, he couldn't afford to carry this pot, he had to find a tall one, Chief of Staff, that was the royal family, he couldn't take the blame, and he couldn't make trouble for himself.

Isn't there also a Konoe Prime Minister above, just look for him!

A top-secret telegram from Hideki Tojo that was about to change his shape came to the Prime Minister's official residence and asked to meet Prime Minister Fumima Konoe.

Naturally, Konoe knew about this for a long time, and he wanted to hide, but he couldn't hide, who made him the prime minister, and he was stunned for more than an hour before he asked the attendant to inform Tojo to go over to see him.

Konoe Yunshan said a few angry words, and then kicked the ball to the War Department again, you first discuss a strategy to deal with, such as blocking the news in the country first, even if it is to make some fake news to confuse the public, and wait for the Chinese to make any moves.

Hideki Tojo was very hurt, and the meaning of Konoe was obvious, your army pulled the yourself, wipe it clean by yourself, don't embarrass the Great Japanese Empire.

On the one hand, Hideki Tojo called the North China Front Headquarters to learn the details, and at the same time summoned his staff officers to discuss the emergency response plan.

The worst thing was the headquarters of the Second Army in Jinan, and the news that Ryosuke Isoya was suspected of being captured came, and it was a mess.
