Chapter 2174: An Unexpected Appointment
Prince Zairen is a guy who does not play cards according to common sense, he thinks, in this way, it is not easy for subordinates to figure out their own thoughts and styles, and then bend to meet their will, and they will lose the ability to hear the truth and jump out of their own thinking, and this is a good means to control subordinates, and it is necessary to increase the sense of mystery!
For example, now he says, "Gentlemen, before the end of the meeting, I have an important appointment to announce on the spot!" Prince Zairen said in a flat tone, and immediately, all the Japanese generals pricked up their ears, for fear of missing half a word, and at the same time, they were also a little uneasy in their hearts, what kind of whimsy did this inscrutable prince have, he was transferred to a position that I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse!
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Prince Zairen continued: "Gentlemen, this personnel appointment is my temporary motion, but after careful consideration, I have decided that the First Army and the Third Army of the Far East Dispatch Army will be combined into the First Composite Army of the Far East Dispatch Army, and the candidate for the commander of the army is Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taiichi, the former commander of the Third Army, let us congratulate Commander Haruhiko on his new post with warm applause!" ”
A neat but obviously complicated applause rang out again, and the Japanese generals were mostly slanderous about Prince Zairen's whimsy, and within a campaign cluster in the empire, how to form such a nondescript synthetic army, how to position it, is it on the same level as the other armies of the Far Eastern Dispatch Army, and if it is equal, how can it reflect the combined status of the two armies, or is it one level higher, then what kind of status will the Far Eastern Dispatch Army Command be in?
There are two people in the most complicated mood, one is Lieutenant General Haruhiko, who is very optimistic about Prince Jaehito, and he thought that he would face off with that bastard Kikuchi. The venue was in a mess, Judi turned over and fell off the horse, he was already a great luck that he was not punished in any way, and now, such an unconventional and important appointment suddenly fell on his head, making Lieutenant General Haruhiko, who was so sensitive, a little at a loss.
He vaguely felt that this appointment. Isn't it that simple, don't know if it's a blessing or a curse? But here and now, it is really not advisable to talk much, silence and silence are the best expressions.
Another person with mixed feelings. It was General Norigoro Ono, the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, who couldn't help but feel a little angry with Prince Zaihito. "Inside their own troops. Make a nondescript synthetic army, it is a behemoth that controls eight divisions, and almost half of the strength of the Far East Dispatch Army is concentrated in the hands of Haruhiko Taiichi, how to be at the mercy of it in the future. What is the position of this synthetic army and Haruhiko? ”
Of course, Admiral Ono does not think that Lieutenant General Taiichi Haruhiko. In this way, he has the capital to fight against himself, no matter what he says, this whimsical synthetic army is still in the combat sequence of his Far East Dispatch Army, or his subordinates, but he feels awkward in his heart, and after the end of the Far East Campaign, he will have to perform his new position, and the throne of the commander of the dispatch army, sooner or later it will be someone else's turn to do it, thinking of this, the little discomfort in General Ono's heart will disappear.
Of course, Prince Zaihito knew that General Ono Norigoro's inner mood fluctuated, and in the combat sequence of the Far East Dispatch Army, there was an extra behemoth with eight divisions out of thin air, and it was strange that there were not many ideas, but this was just a transitional approach of Prince Zaihito, and after the Far East Dispatch Army, the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, General Ono, would be transferred from his current post and appointed to another position.
In this way, Prince Zaihito had to consider the candidate for the commander of the dispatch army, this person must have military talents, and there is a possibility that he can be trained as a confidant by himself, however, capable and loyal generals are not easy to find, and he has been worried about this matter, the reason for this is that Prince Zaihito does not want such an important position to fall into the hands of the people of the Mitsuichi faction of Yonechi, a battle cluster, which is very weighty.
In today's conference room, the two lieutenant generals had a dragon and tiger fight, and then gave Prince Zaihito's eyes a bright spot, that Kikuchi Mio's appearance xiàn, he was greatly disappointed, originally, this person has also walked into his sight, listed as one of the candidates for the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, now it seems that he is a brave and unscrupulous, and irritable, and has no city government, on the contrary, that Lieutenant General Haruhiko, what he did was very in line with his own appetite.
The Far East dispatch army should be in the hands of such an imperial general, especially the moment when Lieutenant General Haruhiko drew his sword, which impressed Prince Zaihito the most, almost in an instant, Lieutenant General Haruhiko walked into Prince Zaihito's sight, the so-called temporary motion, this is not true, Prince Zaihito only had this wonderful idea after seeing Lieutenant General Haruhiko's expression!
Unexpectedly, he tacitly decided in his heart that Haruhiko was the best candidate to succeed as the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, so he should build momentum, otherwise, with Haruhiko Taiichi's previous experience in working in the base camp and lacking actual command and combat experience, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and the biggest stumbling block, Lieutenant General Shikuchi, has been cleared by himself, and what he needs to do now is to give Haruhiko Taiyi a suitable position, so that he will not worry about his gratitude to Dade and serve himself with all his heart.
But this was not enough, Prince Zaihito raised his hands falsely, suppressed the applause, and continued: "In addition, in the face of the heavy task of encircling and annihilating the Soviet Far Eastern Front, it is necessary to strengthen the command intensity of several campaign cluster commands, and I have decided that Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taiichi will serve as the deputy commander of the Far East Dispatch Army and the commander of the 1st Composite Army, and assist Ono-kun in commanding the operation with full authority!" ”
At this time, all the Japanese officers understood that this guy Haruhiko was really lucky with shit, not only did he not receive any punishment for a fight, but he was shouted, as long as he was not a person whose head was kicked by a donkey, he could see that after this guy Haruhiko, he would definitely be the best candidate for the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army, "Good luck!" - Haruhiko and their family's ancestral grave are smoking, right? "A Japanese general, not without jealousy and envy.
Having said this, I don't understand it anymore, that is, the bastard plus the eighth level, Lieutenant General Haruhiko was excited and grateful, and felt that the five were burned, and the cultivation of His Royal Highness the Prince was beyond the limit, and he hurriedly came out of the crowd, and gave a military salute to Prince Zairen with a "snap", at least the surface was calm, but the slightly trembling voice revealed his mood at the moment, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, how can Haruhiko be so virtuous, let Your Excellency be so fond of Haruhiko, Haruhiko has nothing to repay, but in the future, only the commander-in-chief is your horse's head!" ”
Lieutenant General Haruhiko is also a well-behaved person, in a few words, he expressed his intentions, what Prince Zaihito wanted, this is the effect, nodded with satisfaction, smiled more and more kindly, and said: "Haruhiko-kun, the position is higher, the responsibility is heavier, you have to assist Ono-kun well, I hope that the Far Eastern Front will become a strong force in the hands of the two of them, and expand the territory for the Japanese Empire!" ”
Haruhiko is a person with clear eyebrows, how can he not hear the meaning of Prince Zaihito's words, and hurriedly came to General Ono Norigoro, which is also a standard military salute, and said sincerely: "Your Excellency Commander, Haruhiko will always be your subordinate, but whatever you drive, you will serve your orders, and the Far East Dispatch Army will definitely become an elite division of the Imperial Army in your hands, sweeping away an opponent who is enemy of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”
These words are beautiful, Prince Serihito had to secretly praise, although he held Haruhiko to a certain position, but before there were no new personnel changes, he replaced the position of General Ono Norigoro, if Ono Norigoro was not happy, there were some small bumps, some small tricks behind his back, a little stumbling, a little trap or something, many constraints, Haruhiko's situation in the Far Eastern Front will be very difficult, in case he misses another move, or makes a big mistake, he can't help him!
General Ono knows that he is a person who pats his ass and leaves, and he can't do it against Prince Zairen, so it's not good for him, whoever is the commander of this is responsible for his own shit, besides, he can't control it, His Royal Highness the Prince's hands and eyes are not only in the Far East Campaign General Headquarters, but the base camp is also where he can control the situation, since Haruhiko is this guy, then you are good and I am good, as the saying goes, "Is it convenient for yourself to be convenient with others!" ”
General Ono smiled all over his face, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, held Lieutenant General Haruhiko's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Deputy Commander Haruhiko, in the battle on the east bank of the Aldan River, Haruhiko-kun's commanding talent is obvious to all, and it is even more commendable to us. ”
It was also a beautiful scene, and when he said that, he had a bear hug with Haruhiko himself, and staged a peace between the generals of the Imperial Japanese Army, and a stormy applause rang out, and Prince Zaihito was even more interested in General Ono's knowledge, and his happy face lit up!
General Minamijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army behind Prince Zaihito, narrowed his eyes slightly, admired Prince Zaihito's methods tightly, pulled and struck, and quietly accepted the future commander of a campaign cluster as a hardcore henchman, and if it was himself, he would also be grateful, but it had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't help but admire, "Good intentions - good means!" He couldn't help but praise secretly.
Strictly speaking, General Tanaka belongs to the Koichi family of Yonechi, and his position is strongly recommended by His Excellency Mine, so he got what he wanted, but he was stationed on the Korean Peninsula all the year round and was happy to be the emperor of the land, and he was rarely involved in factional disputes within the base camp.
Moreover, he didn't want to wade into that troubled water, intentionally or unintentionally stayed away from the center of the whirlpool, hid on the Korean Peninsula, and became a powerful and self-contained body, so he gradually became estranged from His Excellency Yone, but in any case, General Tanaka knew that his body had been labeled as a line of Michi-ichi Mine, and in the eyes of Prince Jaehito, it was a hostile faction that needed to be guarded against, and General Tanaka couldn't help but be vigilant and worried, "What if, in case Prince Jae-in is in the Korean garrison, he also comes to do this, how should he deal with it?" ”
