Chapter 458: Minions Must Be Cut Off

"Do you think those people in the Air Force don't know anything?" Zhou Tian gently shook Qin Wei's eyes again, "Wang Hanxun really didn't dare to offend you, but you didn't do anything wrong." Besides, what man wants to put a green hat on his head? Therefore, before we went back, Wang Hanxun had actually defended himself to some people openly and secretly. And what about you, Chief Qin, the dignified commander-in-chief of the Air Force, actually cares so much about his image in the hearts of the big guys, and specially sent his wife back to Chongqing to solve this matter...... What does this mean? It shows that you are not only not a person who takes the lives of your subordinates to accumulate merits, on the contrary, you value them very much, not only value, but also respect them very much...... Therefore, my trip to Chongqing is equivalent to greatly enhancing your prestige in the Air Force. Is that a great favor for you? ”

"Is this also called a big busy? Beauty, my prestige in the Air Force is already very high, right? Qin Wei pursed his lips. Although he rarely went to the various bases of the air force, and even the air force headquarters rarely went to Chongqing when he was in Chongqing, he commanded the air force to win many battles, and under his operation, the strength of the air force became stronger and stronger. Based on these two points alone, whether it is Song Meiling, who has always regarded the Air Force as her own bag and loves it very much, or Zhou Zhirou, who has been the commander-in-chief of the Air Force for several years before, her influence and prestige in the Air Force cannot be compared with him.

"It's already high? You mean to say I ran for nothing? Zhou Tian glared at him and said.

"What the hell." Qin Wei hurriedly shook his head and bowed to her with a serious face: "My wife has worked hard, I am grateful!" ”

"Go!" Zhou Tian glanced at him again, but his face was still happy.

"That, wife...... Are you tired all the way back? Qin Wei asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm not tired, and I haven't been in a hurry."

Zhou Tian stretched his body slightly. Suddenly, Qin Wei saw a majestic scene in front of him...... I saw that he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in succession:

"It's good not to be tired, that ...... Wife, your husband and I have been alone for a few days......"

"What do you want to do? Don't come here..."

"This is my house, beauty, I can go wherever I want, you can't run, hehe!"

******************************

"Ishihara-kun, Sakagaki-kun, I'm sorry!"

Siberia. Chita.

Airport.

Nishio Shouzo once again bowed to Ishihara and Sakagaki Seishiro.

"Timoshenko has already begun to retreat, and in order to preserve his strength and bring his troops back to the Soviet Union intact, he should not take the initiative to fight us again. So, don't follow the orders of those idiots at Hideki Tojo. Just 'send' them out of Siberia. Ishihara didn't have much expression on his face, just admonished.

"Please rest assured. I will definitely follow your previous plan. Nishio Shouzo said.

"Shunroku Hata and Hideki Tojo are just too much. It's just unbearable. "Seishiro Sakagaki has always had a much better temper than Ishihara Waner, because Ishihara Waner is too arrogant, not only does not have a good relationship with people, but also often offends some people. But this time, Seishiro Sakagaki was really angry...... Let Nishio Shouzo replace him, he can bear it, but Tojo Hideki's gang didn't even let him finish the battle. And he chose to transfer him and Ishihara back to Tokyo when Timoshenko had just retreated. What does that mean? It's nothing more than trying to erase all the credit for him and Ishihara. After that, all kinds of propaganda will only say that it was Nishio Shouzo who repelled Timoshenko and forced the Soviet general to escape from Siberia in embarrassment! He and Ishihara are the kind of goods that didn't fight well. was beaten by Timoshenko and fled all the way......

"Sakagaki-kun, please rest assured, although Nishio Shouzo doesn't have any great ability, he won't let people frame the heroes of the empire in vain." Of course, Nishio Shouzo also understands what Sakagaki Seishiro is angry about, and he will do the same if it were him, not to mention that he has no friendship with Tojo Hideki's gang, and this time he can come to Siberia to replace Sakagaki Seishiro, to put it bluntly, it is because Tojo Seishiro's gang can't find a more suitable candidate: "When Timoshenko is defeated and withdraws from Siberia, I will immediately report to the base camp and report the merits of the two in detail." ”

"These are only secondary, and I believe that even after we return to Tokyo, Hideki Tojo will not dare to deal with us excessively." Ishihara pursed his lips, "The most important thing now, in addition to driving out Timoshenko, is to deal with those Soviet 'rebels'. …… If you can give more benefits to those people, give more. At this point, they can't do without us, but we can't do without them either. We need them on the Western Front to fend off the Soviets' counteroffensive so that we can spare our forces to deal with the more complex situation. ”

"I'll keep that in mind." Nishio nodded again.

"Farewell, please."

Ishihara bowed slightly, turned and stepped onto the plane, Seishiro Sakagaki following closely behind him.

……

"I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in the future, right?"

The plane flew quickly, and Seishiro Sakagaki looked down through the window and asked Ishihara again.

"There should be no more fighting in Siberia in the next few years, and it doesn't make a difference whether you come back or not." Ishihara sighed.

"No war? Wouldn't the Soviets think of taking it back again? It's a huge territory. Seishiro Sakagaki was surprised.

"Unless the Germans were defeated, Stalin would no longer spend his limited resources on this vast land. Even though the Soviet Union was rich in land and strong in industry. "What's more, the vast majority of people in this world probably don't want the Soviet Union to return to Siberia, and they will try their best to set up obstacles for the Soviet Union, such as China!" ”

"China?" Seishiro Sakagaki was slightly stunned, "They should want us to fight with Stalin in Siberia, why don't they want the Soviet Union to return to Siberia?" By the time Timoshenko is driven out of Siberia, and when he and his troops are returned to the European territory of the Soviet Union, we will be able to send at least 300,000 men from Siberia to the Chinese battlefield. This is extremely detrimental to them. ”

"Send these 300,000 people to the battlefield in China to die?" Ishihara sneered, "In the current war, whoever has air supremacy will have the greatest advantage. The Imperial has no clue which fighters can fight Hellcat, which means that Chinese can easily hit us from the air...... If they want to counterattack, they only need to occupy a part of the land in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, and build a few more airfields, and then they can bomb our homeland. They could even contact the anti-Japanese forces in Manchuria and even Korea, and set up airfields in these places as transit points to attack the ...... of Honshu."

"If Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu are still possible, but Manchuria and Korea are completely under the control of the imperial army, how can the Chinese Air Force have such courage? Neither can they. Seishiro Sakagaki said.

"Sakagaki-kun, have you forgotten how Ishii's troops were wiped out?" Ishihara smiled helplessly: "The Chinese Air Force, which is far away in Chongqing, can hit Harbin, which is thousands of kilometers away...... At that time, they did not even have advanced bombers supported by the Soviet Union. What's more, they also have airborne troops, through which they occupied Hainan and captured Tada Jun through airborne troops...... Why can't you use the Airborne Forces to suddenly attack or occupy somewhere in Manchuria or even Korea? The empire is too small, and China is just too big...... Even if we can transfer another 500,000 people from Siberia, we will not see the slightest shadow after we are scattered into the Chinese battlefield...... And in order to increase our forces in China, the garrisons in Manchuria, Korea and other places will inevitably be reduced step by step. At that time, the Chinese will be able to rely on air superiority to strike at our rear first, making it difficult for us to take care of both the beginning and the end. …… I even think that if it weren't for someone trying to channel the power of the empire to Southeast Asia, and let us drive away the power of Britain and the United States and other countries in Southeast Asia for him, I am afraid that China's airborne troops would have landed in Taiwan or North Korea and occupied an airfield, and then their soldiers would be transported by the air force in a steady stream, and then, after securing the bases, they could use these frontiers to carry out unlimited bombing of our homeland...... In fact, at the moment when the Air Force completely lost its superiority, we had already lost most of our hopes of victory. ”

"It can't be." Seishiro Sakagaki had never heard Ishihara Waner say these words, and when he heard it at first glance, he only felt a chill all over his body, "The Chinese don't have such strong strength." They couldn't have thought of these ...... either."

"Unexpected? They can even think of using us to attack the Soviets, so how can they not think of a way to deal with us? Ishihara shook his head and sighed.

"Well, they don't have that much industrial power. If they really want to bomb their homeland, then where do they go to find so many bombs? And ......"

"Sakagaki-kun, your heart is in turmoil." Ishihara glanced at Seishiro Sakagaki, "If the Chinese want to bomb us, they don't need much investment at all. Airplanes, combined with a few thousand tons of bombs, are enough to paralyze most of the empire's industry, not to mention, with their previous performance, I even think they will attack civilians...... Their napalm was no less effective against the most common wooden houses in the Empire. ”

"So what are we going to do? Do you want to shrink your forces and protect the rear? "Seishiro Sakagaki came from the army, and like most people in the Japanese army at this time, he rarely thought about fighting with other branches of the army, in their opinion, the navy and air force should only be their vassals, and the glory of the Japanese Empire still needed the army to achieve. Therefore, now that he heard Ishihara's words, he couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.

"If we shrink our forces to protect the rear, won't we give the Chinese another chance to breathe? The consequences would be even more dire. Ishihara shook his head and sighed, "Only by cutting off the sharpest minions of the Chinese can we regain our advantage." ”

"The sharpest minions?"

"Air Force!" (To be continued......)
