Chapter 301: The Golden Dragon Spits Pearls

Seeing this posture, Zhong Yi secretly rejoiced that he was not arbitrary at the wartime military commission preparation meeting before the awarding of the title. If according to their own ideas, Ishihara and other Japanese generals are also recalled to Chang'an to participate in the award ceremony, these uncles will not be able to scold on the spot?

It is said that although Ishihara Waner, Itagaki Seishiro and other Japanese officers committed numerous crimes against the Chinese people during the war of aggression against China. However, after Japan's surrender, nearly one million Japanese troops who joined the Dongying Army still showed commendable combat effectiveness in the battle against the Soviet Red Army. Especially in some battles that the generals of the Han army considered to lack technical content, the head-to-head duel between the Dongying army and the "gray cattle" did not fall behind at all.

In some battles that could be called meat grinders, such as the Battle of Yakutsk and the Battle of Tula, the Eastern Ying Army and the Siberian White Army under the command of Kovalev paid heavy sacrifices. In the brutal Tula street battle alone, the three legions of the Dongying Army commanded by Ishihara Waner suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, accounting for one-third of the number of Japanese troops participating in the battle. There was also the ongoing Battle of Tomsk and Novosibirsk, in which the four Korean corps and two Japanese corps of the Toei Army under the command of Seishiro Sakagaki undertook the task of blocking the reinforcements of the Red Army.

On the banks of the Ob River, Seishiro Sakagaki, who was good at attacking but not defending, almost piled up a bloody defensive line with his human life, so that the newly appointed commander of the Siberian Military District, Marshal Timoshenko, completely lost the opportunity to turn over.

After the defeat in Kharkov, one of the few veteran marshals of the Red Army, Timoshenko, was considered guilty and made meritorious service and became the commander of the Siberian Military District in order to consolidate and collect the scattered Red Army units in the Far East.

It's a pity that after meeting the unborn German marshal Manstein in Kharkov, the veteran commander of the Red Army once again encountered Seishiro Sakagaki, a rare Japanese tactical genius, and was helplessly blocked by the Ob River defense line.

Until the life of the defenders of Rostock hung by a thread, Novosilieboa, the fourth largest industrial center of the Soviet Union, had fallen into the siege of the Allied forces, and he, the commander of the Siberian Military District, had not even crossed the Ob River. Frustrated by this, Stalin transferred Chuikov to the Eastern Front on the Don front, and replaced Timoshenko in the line of fire, and from then on, the old commander never had the opportunity to lead the army alone, until the Soviet Union admitted and signed the Moscow and Novosibirsk armistice agreements with Germany and Han respectively, and then reappeared in the limelight.

Even Ye Weixun, commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Theater, admitted that the Dongying Army played a great role in several major battles in the Far Eastern Theater. Even in a secret report to His Majesty, Ye Weixun admitted frankly: If there is no Dongying Army, then the empire may not be able to push the front to the Ob River if it invests five more corps in the Far Eastern Theater. It's not that the Imperial Army doesn't have that strength, it's that the Empire can't afford such huge casualties.

In the Battle of the Ob River, the Dongying Army suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, and many Korean and Japanese regiments were disabled. Under the bombardment of the large-caliber artillery group of the Soviet Red Army and the desperate blows of the Soviet "Katyusha" multiple rocket launchers modeled after the "Black Widow" of the Empire, the soldiers of the Dongying Army stained the turbulent Ob River with blood.

After entering the freezing period, in the face of the impact of more than 1,000 T-34 tanks, Sakagaki Seishiro, who lacked armored strength, moved the method of the Chinese troops to deal with the Japanese Douding tanks to the Ob River defense line, and used flesh and blood to block the armored units of a group army of the Soviet Red Army on the west bank of the Ob River, until Ye Weixun urgently dispatched the Royal Air Force to carry out a large-scale bombardment of the Ob River, blowing up the thick ice on the river, and the Red Army armored corps did not enter an inch.

But even so, in the wartime meeting of the Military Commission, the bigwigs still excluded the Japanese generals from the award ceremony. Although His Majesty insisted repeatedly, in the end it was only a compromise, and His Majesty would later attend the Toei Army Title Ceremony held in the Ryukyus.

Zhong Yi also understood the opposition of the members of the Military Commission, and this kind of hatred against the Japanese was first instilled in the imperial army by His Majesty.

During the five-year war of aggression against China, Japan brought great humiliation and great pain to the Han people. Tens of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the five-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the wounds that Japan inflicted on China and the Han people cannot be erased by Japan's unconditional surrender.

But...... Your Majesty has a word that has not been spoken: You can't just let the cows work and not give the cows grazing!

If the Far Eastern Theater had not been desperately charged by the Japanese and Koreans, how many lives would the Han have to pay? If there was no Nanyang Army in the Middle East and Africa, how many casualties would the Imperial Army have to have?

Going further down, if there were not so many colonial areas, how could Nanhua compete with so many Western countries with tens of millions of people? With the 13th Army of the Han Dynasty and the Guards Legion, the empire dares to start a war on three fronts at the same time? I am afraid that the Han Empire will be like the Jews, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are soldiers, and they may not be so handy on the multi-front battlefield.

But...... However, within the current Imperial Army, they recognize the combat power of the Dongying Army, and still do not accept the three words of the Japanese.

Well, remembering that after the twentieth century, the Japanese were instigated by the US imperialists, and Zhong Yi was not insisting. It only takes a few years to change people's minds, and it only takes a few decades to change a country...... Like the Jews, it hasn't changed much for thousands of years.

As for everyone's anti-Japanese sentiment, we must not suppress it, but on the contrary, we must express encouragement. But Zhong Yi knew that he had missed one of the best opportunities to integrate Japan into Han Chinese society.

For the earliest kingdoms of these great alliances, the Nanhua were still relatively acceptable, the Moro Islamic King and the Sultan of Sulu were on the spot to confer the title of their own general, and Prince Haman also came to Chang'an on behalf of King Harold to participate in the award ceremony, and he personally changed the general's epaulette for the first general among the Jews.

What does it mean that the ceremony of conferring the titles of generals of the Allied States and the colonial regions was held at the same time in the capital of the Han Dynasty?

However, only the award ceremony of the Toei Army had to be held separately, although it was also held in Shuri Castle in the Ryukyus, where the Toei Governor's Palace was located, which was too different from the meaning of letting the Japanese general come to Chang'an to confer the title! Zhong Yi was very regretful, but no matter how insisting, everyone even thought that he favored Concubine Sakura, so he would put Japan, which surrendered unconditionally, on a par with other allies.

"Nima, is Lao Tzu so easy to be a beautiful person? I haven't watched it for so long, and I've only been to Japan once? ”

…… But Concubine Sakura comes to Chang'an every month! - Aboriginal Girl.

The wordless complaining could not prevent the end of the general's award ceremony, and the following procedures had to continue. And compared with the awarding of titles to twenty newly promoted generals, the next marshal award ceremony is more eye-catching.

There are only two kinds of titles for Wei Qingge: general and marshal, and the rest of the titles below lieutenant general will be the responsibility of the General Staff and the theaters.

With the advancement of technology, the photojournalists, who have said goodbye to the old-fashioned and bulky cameras, hold "long guns and short cannons" and shoot non-stop at the eight bigwigs of the Imperial Army who are about to be promoted to marshal.

General Jiang Yunzhi, Chief of the General Staff of the Three Imperial Armed Forces and Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Theater; General Ye Weixun, Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Theater; Admiral Zhang Zheng, Commander of the Royal Navy; Admiral Yun Jiu, Commander of the Royal Air Force; General Hans, commander-in-chief of the African Front of the Grand Alliance; Governor of Dongying, Commander-in-Chief of the Central and Southern Front Army, General Lin of the Whole Country; General Wang Yizhe, commander-in-chief of the South African Front.

Among the first batch of the top ten generals of the empire, only Director Mu and Commander Long Zhou of the Royal Navy were not promoted to marshal in this award.

Long Fatzi is because he is still young, and the last time he was promoted to general was a leapfrog. And Director Mu Gang completely pursued the principle that low-key is king.

At the meeting of the Military Commission, a vote had been passed on Mu Yu's promotion to marshal, but Director Mu said that as the head of the military intelligence organ, he had surpassed his last promotion to general, and he resolutely resigned for this promotion.

For General Mu's noble style of not being greedy for merit, not seeking fame, and sticking to his position, His Majesty was "very relieved", and the other bigwigs also gave a thumbs up. The most annoying spy leader in ordinary times suddenly became a representative of positive energy in Weiqing Pavilion.

Seeing everyone's reaction, His Majesty and Mu Yu looked at each other and smiled, and Director Mu's dead face also showed a hint of evil smile.

The head of the secret service has also been very close recently, and the military intelligence bureau has extended too much of its hand in the imperial army and even the cabinet government, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of all the high-level military and civilian leaders in South China. No one wants to do something by themselves, and there are a pair of hidden eyes around them, right?

This time, Mu Yu's resignation for the rank of marshal was also at the behest of His Majesty, the first was to calm the anger of the public, and the second was also for the special period, when the military intelligence department began to step on the brakes due to the high level of configuration.

It is really not a good idea to be able to get a few generals in the spy pile, and it has a considerable negative impact on the spiritual civilization construction of Nanhua to carry forward positive energy and promote the fine traditions of the Han nation.

Mu Yu himself doesn't care about this, with His Majesty's trust, what is a false name in a military rank? Without His Majesty's trust, even if it was the marshal who committed the crime, would he still be able to escape the means of the military intelligence army?

The epaulettes of the marshal of the Han Imperial Army are also golden, the difference is that there is an extra golden dragon on the marshal's epaulette, and the golden dragon spitting beads is the symbol of the marshal of the Han Dynasty.

His Majesty changed the eight marshals into eight golden dragon spit bead epaulettes in turn, and stood in the middle of the marshals and delivered an important speech. "From the golden city of Kalgoorlie to ...... Then to ......, along the way, the Han army was established before the empire and lived up to the name of the pillar of the empire; From Phillip Bay to ...... Then to ......, from small to large, the Han army guarded the empire throughout, and dared to declare to any enemy who offended the empire: Those who offend my Han ....... ”

Well, the more than ten minutes of eloquent speeches will be full of tears from the dozens of generals of the Han Dynasty. Although His Majesty did not mention the Queens base for reasons of secrecy, did not mention the golden fortune, and did not ......, everyone recalled the development process of the Imperial Army from scratch, from weak to strong, and their own experience of joining the Imperial Army.

Zhang Hanqing and other non-military personalities were also specially invited to watch the ceremony, and when they saw Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo, Dong Chengbin and others of the former Northeast Army, the stars shining brightly, and the golden dragon was shining, they couldn't help but feel emotional, and they couldn't help but feel emotional, and their tears fell down their clothes without knowing it.

At this moment, he remembered a lot as a young marshal, but in the Longxiang Auditorium, there was more than one Zhang Hanqing......

The next day, the newspapers of the major league countries published the award ceremony at the Weiqing Pavilion for the first time. Many people have carefully discovered that in the photo of His Majesty and the Eight Generalissimos, in the middle of the mighty golden dragon spitting pearls, there is no brilliance on His Majesty's military uniform.

Compared with the military uniforms of other emperors, His Majesty's military dress not only has nothing on the shoulders, but also has no accessories such as a ribbon on the chest.

In this regard, Song Xue, Minister of the Imperial Interior and Director of the Supreme Commander's Chamberlain, said: Your Majesty believes that the honor of soldiers belongs to the soldiers who fought on the front line, and Your Majesty pays tribute to the officers and soldiers of all the Grand Alliance armies and the martyrs who died in the battle with simple clothing!
