Emperor Hirohito's conundrum

In this way, the whole campaign continued for a month in a continuous battle and ended smoothly. The East China Field Army and the New Fourth Army fought in a joint operation, totaling more than 600,000 troops, and after paying a heavy price of more than 60,000 people, they successfully annihilated or captured 130,000 Japanese troops in the Lianghu area. As for the remaining 200,000 Japanese troops, it was no surprise that they were surrounded by the remaining troops of the East China Field Army in the three towns of Wuhan, Changsha, Xiangyang, Changde, and Hengyang......

"Commander-in-chief, this is what the General Staff has just counted. If we give the troops a week's rest and replenishment, our East China Field Army can at least send out two combat corps and one guard column, totaling 250,000 troops, to participate in the next operation...."Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the East China Field Army Headquarters in Nanjing, replied with a serious face.

"250,000 people, sweeping the Japanese army across the entire southeast, that's absolutely no problem. How's that, there is no call back there in the center. Do you agree with our plan and cooperate with us to put on a big show for the whole world..."Liu Hua asked in a deep voice.

The telegram personally replied by the chairman that although the training of the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Field Army had not yet been completed. However, it is still possible to pull out and fight field battles with little devils, and to train soldiers. As long as our East China Field Army and the New Fourth Army begin to move, the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Field Army will follow closely and launch a counteroffensive...... In addition, the chairman also asked me to convey to you, let us rest assured and act boldly, as long as it is beneficial to the entire Chinese nation and the military development of the whole of China, the chairman himself, including the commander-in-chief and vice chairman Zhou, will unconditionally support us..."

After all, as the chief of staff, what she has always thought about is how to drive little Japan out of China and return the Chinese people to a prosperous future. And now, together with the commander, with the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and with the opportunity of the world war, he is engaged in an unprecedented great game with the Western powers, which cannot but make Zuo Quan feel excited and excited......

"Well, in that case, according to the original plan, in a week's time, we will start to act. Strive to compress all the remaining 600,000 Japanese troops invading China into these large and medium-sized cities within a month, so that they will completely lose their freedom..."Liu Hua ordered with a confident face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief......."

A month has passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the CCP-led Eighth Route Army, the East China Field Army, the Northeast Field Army, the New Fourth Army, and even the remnants of the Kuomintang army that had just been reorganized. After the experience of war, it has already become an elite of a hundred battles.

On the other hand, the remaining 600,000 remnants of the entire Japanese army invading China. Although these units are all elite units that can be ranked in the Japanese army. However, at this moment, they are like defeated ducks, surrounded by the Chinese army in the few remaining large and medium-sized cities, losing their free space for movement, and indirectly becoming fat meat in the hands of the Chinese army that can be eaten at any time...

On the battlefield in China, the Chinese army led by the Communist Party of China besieged hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops in dozens of large and medium-sized cities in just one month, making them turtles in urns... This tremendous result can be said to have stimulated a handful of Allied troops on various battlefields.

As a result, with the arrival of Liu Hua, one after another local counteroffensives that had not been seen in World War II in the previous life began to appear on various battlefields in the world one after another. The pressure on Japan, Germany, and other countries in the ranks of fascists has also increased dramatically. As a result, a huge problem was placed in front of the Japanese top leadership and its military department. ..., with the continuous counterattack of the Anglo-American forces from the Pacific theater, the Japanese army sent troops south, and after bloody battles, although temporarily stabilized the retreating situation, held the various islands that they had worked so hard to occupy. However, the entire southbound sending force, including the entire Combined Fleet, paid a very heavy price......

On the other side of the war, the Allied armies failed in a local counteroffensive, although they were also defeated. However, they are aware of their opponent's current situation, and they are not discouraged. Because, they already know that their opponents have reached the point where they have no troops to adjust. As long as you can gather enough forces in a short period of time to launch a new counteroffensive. Well, the entire Pacific theater will definitely end in the victory of the allies.

As a result, a large amount of materials and troops began to be transported from the US mainland to the Pacific theater under the escort of warships. In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire southbound dispatch army, one after another telegrams asking for help began to be transmitted to Japan through the airwaves.

In the face of the telegram for help from the troops sent south, the Japanese top brass, including the entire military headquarters, were also very anxious.

The losses of the combined fleet can be replenished in the shortest possible time with the help of a developed domestic shipbuilding industry. However, the losses of army soldiers, it is not so easy to replenish.

After several years of war attrition on the Chinese battlefield, coupled with the attrition and garrisoning of the Pacific Theater and the Nanyang Theater, it can be said that the entire army unit has been nearly exhausted after several expansions.

Even if the scope of the Army's recruitment is expanded now, it may be possible to recruit dozens of divisions and regiments of new recruits for the Pacific theater in an extreme time. However, it is clear to everyone that allowing these dozens of divisions and regiments to enter the Pacific theater without any training of recruits will not only fail to gain any superiority in the face of well-trained Allied forces and advanced weapons and equipment, but will become a war achievement in the hands of the Allied forces...

As a result, where to draw the elite troops from the south to the Pacific Ocean has become the biggest problem facing the Japanese military department.

Looking at the entire battlefield, the Japanese military department, including the entire high-level, finally set their sights on the Chinese battlefield.

As a result, an imperial council concerning the new strategic goals of the Japanese army was convened at the personal suggestion of Emperor Hirohito....

However, the whole meeting had just begun, and it was full of gunpowder.

A group of officers with a certain strategic vision, led by the General Staff Headquarters and the Commander of the Navy, undoubtedly agreed and supported the transfer of heavy troops from the Chinese battlefield to join the Pacific Theater and ensure Japan's control over the entire Pacific region.

However, the conservative top of the Japanese army, led by the prime minister and a number of veterans, was resolutely opposed to the transfer of troops from China.

Judging from the latest battle report, the total strength of the Japanese army invading China in the entire territory of China has only 600,000 people left. If 300,000 elites are transferred, then only 300,000 troops remain. The 300,000 left-behind troops, facing the more than 1 million elite soldiers who had just completed China's consultation and showed strong combat effectiveness, were tantamount to letting them fall into the mouth of the tiger and surrender to the Chinese army most of China, which the Japanese Empire had paid a huge price for.

This is simply unacceptable to these elders, who have always hoped to occupy the whole of China and rule Asia. What's more, it is even more impossible to give up the land that the Great Japanese Empire has acquired at a huge cost....

I saw the royal front in front of me like a vegetable market, and then looked at the left and right sides, and the ministers who were fighting for red faces. Emperor Hirohito's face can be said to be extremely gloomy.

He slapped the table in front of him hard, and the whole hall fell into silence. Emperor Hirohito's slightly angry voice began to sound in the main hall. ..., "Eight Grids, Shut Up." This is the Imperial Council, not a vegetable market for you to quarrel about. In addition, I want your concrete solution, not such endless quarrels....can you change the situation in the entire Pacific theater if you continue to quarrel like this..."

Emperor Hirohito's words were like a resounding slap in the face, causing a group of red-faced ministers to unconsciously lower their heads. Seeing that his subordinates were soft, Emperor Hirohito directly confronted the cabinet ministers, who had the strongest opposition.

"Tojo-kun, since you are opposed to the transfer of troops from China. So, where do you think the empire can still draw out at least 300,000 elites in a short period of time and go to the Pacific theater......"

"His Majesty the Emperor..."Facing Emperor Hirohito's questioning, Hideki Tojo's face suddenly turned red, but there was nothing he could do. After a short period of contemplation, he said helplessly to Emperor Hirohito.

"Please atone for your sins, the minister has no choice..."

"Baga, since there is no way, then why oppose the proposal of the General Staff Headquarters. Do you want to watch the Combined Fleet and the Southbound Dispatch Army, under the combined attack of the Allied forces, all the troops be annihilated and buried in the Pacific Ocean?"

"Please atone for your sins, the minister doesn't mean this, please let your Majesty calm your anger..."In the face of the big hat that Emperor Hirohito deducted, Tojo Hideki, as the spokesman of the elders, can be said to be bitter and unable to speak, so he can only kneel on the ground sweating profusely and say nothing.......

After a long sigh, Emperor Hirohito, who looked helpless, quickly set his eyes on the chief of staff, hoping that the chief of staff could propose a good solution for himself
