Chapter 471: The Alliance Under the City (13)
In Tokyo, Japan, the aftermath of the mutiny has not yet completely calmed down, and the cabinet exists in an extremely abnormal form, and Yuyuki Hamaguchi was completely frightened in the mutiny, and the iron-fisted minister, known as the "lion face" in Japanese political circles, has completely become a puppet of the 6th Army, and because Yuyuki Hamaguchi turned to no political affairs, the power of the cabinet completely fell into the hands of the 6th Army, but the disappearance of the new Minister of the 6th Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori, in Shina once again made the already fragile cabinet fall into turmoil.
In the end, by the 6th Army General Lin Milling Shiro as the Minister of the 6th Army, was ordered to preside over the affairs of the war against China, he was not puzzled by the shape of the battlefield in China, and had a headache, the Songhu Imperial Navy had invested six divisions, a huge naval fleet, but repeatedly frustrated, even General Shirakawa was in the Wusongkou inexplicable naval battle life and death unknown, if the battle was judged according to the advance prediction, the imperial military operation in Songhu can already be regarded as a failure.
Then turn his eyes to North China, the battle on the front line of Manchuria made him unbelievable, only one division of the Kwantung Army almost bloodlessly occupied the entire Manchuria, the Pingjin area in Shanhaiguan was also only with the North China Army as the main force, the entire Pingjin regiment was surrounded, Zhang Xueliang, the leader of the Northeast Army of China, was tied up, nested in Beiping City did not dare to move, and Jiang Zhongzheng, the leader of the China Territory hiding in Xuzhou, could not sit still, and sent his right-hand man to negotiate with the imperial state, trying to keep the Pingjin Hebei.
The corners of Lin Mian Shilang's mouth hooked up a sneer, stupid Zhina, if it weren't for the fear of being greedy and chewing too much, what if the imperial kingdom swallowed Zhina in one bite.
"Your Excellency Lin Mill, there is a telegram from North China, He Yingqin has drafted an entry, please show me."
The director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the 6th Military Province, Kuniaki Koiso, interrupted Hayashi's contemplation with a telegram, he was promoted to major general after the mutiny a month earlier, and was promoted to the position of director of the Military Affairs Bureau by Hayashi Mijuro from the director of the 6th Military Ministry's Maintenance Bureau, and the two most important positions in the 6th Military Ministry, in addition to the director of the Military Affairs Bureau, also had a military section chief, and the post of section chief was continued by Okamura Ninji Daisa, who was not affected by the mutiny.
Lin Mijuro took the telegram, glanced at it at a glance, and sneered in his heart, but he gently put the thin telegram on the table, looked at Koiso Kuniaki with a scrutinizing gaze, and said:
"Xiao Iso-kun, tell me what you think."
When Koiso Kuniaki heard the 6-phase adult exit inquiry, he hurriedly stood up and said:
"The people of China tried in vain to keep Pingjin, because these two cities are of great military and political significance, but the Northeast Army does not have the heart of a decisive battle, and only seeks to protect itself, so the imperial state should take this opportunity to take the entire Hebei in one fell swoop, oppress Henan and Shandong, and even the stalemate in Songhu will be easily solved at that time."
Speaking of the Songhu stalemate is still the place that Lin Mijuro is most worried about, there are bombs that have always made him fearful, General Zhina, the hidden pain of Suidong back then is still vivid, and now Shanghai has staged such a tragedy, the heavy damage of the Third Fleet, the disappearance of Admiral Shirakawa 90% related to him, six divisions are trapped between Shanghai and Nanjing, and the biggest military defeat of the Imperial State since the Meiji Revolution is nothing more than this.
Koiso Kuniaki's words made his eyes shine, and the victory of North China to offset the defeat of Songhu may be the most correct choice at present, but the pride of being an emperor is destined that he will not be willing to accept the result that it is difficult to advance an inch against the China Army with the strength of six divisions.
"The difficulties of the imperial kingdom in the Songhu battlefield are also temporary, Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army, General Zhina's Second Army and the 57th Division can win all as long as they break through one point."
If the previous remarks of exchanging the Northern Branch for the victory of Songhu made Lin Miaoshilang's eyes shine, then this sentence hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.
"The chaos on the Songhu battlefield has not even been cleared up by General Shirakawa, and I don't know who else has the ability to turn the tide." What worries him even more is that Shirakawa Yoshinori will not see anyone, and he will not see the corpse, if he sends another supreme commander, this person will bear great pressure, which will inevitably affect the progress of the battle, and there is a more fatal point, the unknown life and death of General Shirakawa at this time seems to be the best ending, once his death is confirmed, the blow to the morale of the 6th Army will be severed, if the worst thing is born, he will be captured by the Zhina, and it will not only be the Songhu 6th Army that will be hit, but the entire Japan will be humiliated for this, and the bloody battle will be inevitable in the end, But now is not the best time for all-out war.
At present, although the scale of the Imperial Empire's use of force by the Japanese army from north to south is very large, it has always been reasonably controlled on the basis of local conflicts, and the plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters has always been focused on seizing the maximum benefits, and once it is confirmed that General Shirakawa has been captured, then there is nothing that can stop the fanatical war ideas of those young Zhuang officers.
Lin Mi Shilang held the same attitude as most of the high-ranking members of the 6th Army, and the annexation of China was the unswerving strategy of the imperial state, but it was too wishful thinking to fight steadily, step by step, and to encroach on it little by little.
However, the radical young officers seemed to save the imperial crisis this time, and the "Manchurian Incident" planned by Ishihara Waner, chief staff officer of the Kwantung Army's War Department, was a great success, and the entire Manchuria was captured overnight, and even the old capital of China, Beiping, was about to fall into the imperial state, and the series of victories in the Northern China also relieved the huge pressure on the cabinet, Hamaguchi did not care about political affairs, and all foreign strategies fell on the head of the 6th Army, so to solve the pressure on the cabinet was to relieve the siege of the 6th Army.
Lin Mijuro glanced at Koiso Kuniaki in front of him, he knew that the young officers of the 6th Army had set up a secret organization called the "Yiyi Hui", Ishihara Wan'er, who planned the "Manchurian Incident", was a member of the organization, and Okamura Ningji, the head of the Military Division of the 6th Military Province, was also a member of this organization, and even this Koiso Kuniaki had an inextricable relationship with them, so he had to fight a bloody war with the people of China, and he had to control the scale of the war, which was a difficult problem that gave him an extreme headache.
The officers of the Young Zhuang faction are becoming more and more unruly, and the old guys seem to be difficult to control them anymore, and these guys have to make some trouble from time to time to challenge the bottom line of the cabinet, and for the interests and honor of the 6th Army, the cabinet has to endorse the young Zhuang faction again and again.
But think about it another way, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and sending one to the Songhu battlefield may become a miracle soldier to break the deadlock, but after all, it is the idea of testing this outstanding officer of the young Zhuang faction, so he asked in a good time:
"General Shirakawa has broken the Chinese Army, and the morale of the Imperial 6th Army has been frustrated, so it is inevitable that Koiso-kun thinks it is appropriate to appoint someone to China as the commander."
