In July 1940, the world suddenly seemed to be incomprehensible.

First of all, the Japanese attacked the rear of the Soviet Far East troops with lightning speed, and released a large number of prisoners and political prisoners in the Soviet Union's Siberian labor camps, causing the whole of East Siberia to become a miasma, and also causing the entire Soviet Union to jump and even show a hint of instability. The Soviet government hurriedly sent troops to suppress it, but because of the hurry, it could only send nearby garrisons. As a result, he made another mistake, first being bombed indiscriminately by the Japanese air force, and then being attacked head-on by the labor reform army composed of re-education through labor prisoners and the mixed units of the Japanese army, and actually suffered a defeat, so that a large area of Eastern Siberia was occupied by re-education through labor prisoners and the Japanese army. As a result, the Timoshenko group on the front line was also divided, and it fell into the dilemma of fighting alone and without backup.

And then, without waiting for everyone to make a detailed understanding of the actions of the Japanese in the Soviet Union, the Chinese, who were being beaten by the Japanese and had a blue nose and swollen face, and could even be said to be struggling, first raided the Sino-Vietnamese border with airborne troops, occupied a number of important military points, and then suddenly moved south with its elite Fifth Army, and in less than three days, it had completely occupied the area north of the Red River in Vietnam. The most important port in northern Vietnam, the port of Hai Phong, was also occupied by Chinese troops. But it seems that the Chinese still do not think this is imposing enough, and the French Vichy government has just protested, and they sent two more divisions from the direction of Yunnan to the south along the Lancang River, and soon entered the Mekong River and stepped into Laos. As a result, before the French could be angry, they scared Siam, the third and last independent country in Asia, to death. The Siamese government first protested, then sought help from the international community, but to no avail, had to show goodwill to the Chinese government, and then tremblingly sent its own troops to defend the border between Siam and Laos in case the Chinese were "cramped in their brains" again.

……

"Two warring nations. They don't fight against their enemies, but they all find another opponent...... If this had been before, it would have been unimaginable. ”

The tide of battle is getting stranger.

Kenji Dohihara had to start preparing for his packing...... He was finally removed. The reason is very simple, Shen Zui in Myanmar released the captured Japanese agents such as Otake and Shimizu who had followed Kagezo to Yangon in an attempt to assassinate Qin Wei. Although this kind of "release" is also a clumsy trick in the eyes of Tohihara and Kagesa Zhenzhao, Otake, Shimizu and others are very convinced that it is their luck. If it had not been for the fact that a guerrilla group led by the Communist Party of Burma had rushed into the warehouse where they were being held, they would not have been rescued, let alone met the leader of the guerrilla group, and then the leader of the guerrilla group met Aung San, the leader of the Burmese Independence Army, and even brought Aung San willing to cooperate with Japan. This is the leader of one party and the leader of one army. Although it's only a small place like Myanmar, it's a little dirty, but this kind of character can't be used by someone to play any tricks, right? Moreover, Aung San had been to China before and had contact with the Lan agency in Fujian, which had information and photo stubs of this person. There is simply no way that someone is fake.

But since Aung San's identity can be determined, it can be determined that Dazhu and Shimizu and others are not spies plotted by the Chinese. But in that case. Kagesa took them on a mission to Burma. Why is it that only Kagezo Zhenzhao came back alone, and everyone else was arrested? According to the confessions of Dazhu and Qing Shui, Kagezo Zhenzhao was also arrested, but this guy was sent away by Qin Wei himself...... That's Qin Wei! What is it? What kind of thing is Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao, worthy of such a character to send it in person? It was clear that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao had rebelled, and Qin Wei deliberately made the appearance of a corporal of Lixian to buy people's hearts.

Otake and Shimizu and others are "smart". Knowing that if he returned to Nanjing or some other place in China without permission, he would most likely be caught and killed, so he simply returned to Japan and reported to the War Department that Kagesa Zhenzhao might have betrayed. and collected information on behalf of the Chinese government on the military intelligence of the Empire.

The news shook the whole of Tokyo.

The Japanese have never been able to figure out where Qin Wei's intelligence came from, and they are afraid, hateful and jealous of that guy, but now they finally have a little clue, and this clue seems to be very reliable: Kagezo Zhenzhao is the Empire's high-level intelligence in China, if he is really Qin Wei's eyeliner, then the leakage of many military intelligence of the Empire can be explained. You can even continue to touch down the vine of Kagesa Zhenzhao to find other spies lurking in various departments of the Empire.

As a result, an operation codenamed "Chasing the Wind" quickly unfolded. Kagesa was transferred back to Tokyo, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was secretly arrested, and then ...... There will be no aftermath. The secret alliance of Kenji Dohihara, Ishihara Waner, and Toshiro Obata was revealed, and a group of powerful generals such as Shouichi Terauchi and Seishiro Sakagaki also loomed beside the three. This frightened the Japanese military department...... These people represent the Kwantung Army and the Chinese Dispatch Army, and they are the most powerful of them, and the Kwantung Army and the Chinese Dispatch Army are the direct forces of Japan's war with the Soviet Union and China, respectively. These people secretly colluded and got together to discuss major national affairs, wouldn't their military headquarters become an ornament?

However, Seishiro Sakagaki and Ishihara Waner were leading most of the Kwantung Army to fight against the Soviets, which not only caused a lot of trouble to the Soviets, but also had a great chance of winning. Therefore, the board of the military department can only hit the body of the Chinese dispatch army...... Anyway, the Chinese dispatch army has already lost several battles one after another, and there is no pressure to clean it up. Compared with Shouichi Terauchi, Kenji Dohihara, as one of the members of the "New Three Feathers", is naturally the first target of punishment by the military department. As a result, this old spy who had stayed in China for twenty or thirty years, who had done many things that harmed China's interests and harmed many people, was dismissed from his post by the Japanese military department and returned to Japan within a limited time.

"You're gone, what should I do here?"

Terauchi Shouichi first came to China to lead his army to repeatedly break through the boundaries set for him by Tokyo, repeatedly expand the offensive in North China, and finally contribute to the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army to a certain extent; The second time he came to China, he succeeded Nishio Toshizo in charge of the Chinese dispatch army...... He would have been full of confidence. But it didn't take long for his faith to be shattered. If it weren't for Kenji Dohihara's full support, he couldn't believe that he could still hold his position until now...... But now Dohihara has been recalled to Tokyo by the above. He knew what this was for, except that Tu Fei Yuan was one of the members of the "New Three Feather Wu", and because the above intended to protect him, after all, he was also the Minister of War, and his father Terauchi Masashi also served as the Prime Minister of the Empire, and the relationship was in place than Tu Fei Yuan. But the question is, Tu Feiyuan is gone, how can he face the Chinese who are becoming more and more difficult to deal with alone?

"It is foolish for the Reich to negotiate with the Vichy government to take over 'French Indochina'. Chinese has already walked in front of us, and they all know that they don't need to look at the faces of the French, but we still have to worry about the feelings of our allies......" Tu Feiyuan sneered and sighed again, "But now I really can't understand this war...... Maybe even in the whole of Japan, only Ishihara-kun and Obata-kun can understand it better. But Shunroku Hata and Hideki Tojo won't give them too many opportunities. Ishihara-kun was able to command his troops to fight the Soviets, which was most likely the limit of what he could reach. When the war in Siberia is over, it may even take to wait for the empire to secure its front there, and the military department will transfer him away, and then give him a fictitious position with no real power, as in Manchuria. ”

"You didn't do anything wrong. At best, the military department can only idle you...... I hope to be able to contact you at any time. Terauchi Shouichi said in a deep voice.

"As long as I can help, I will never refuse." Tsuchihara was slightly moved, and bowed to Terauchi Shouichi: "However, Commander, if possible, you'd better contact Ishihara-kun more and ask him for advice...... My talents are far from enough to deal with our enemies, and only Ishihara-kun can be that man's opponent. ”

"The Air Force has no chance of fighting back now, and with that guy's terrible intelligence ability, if there is another war, the dispatch force will inevitably be in danger again. It was okay before, at least we were still on the offensive. But now I'm worried about ......"

"Are you worried about the Chinese counteroffensive?"

"Yes."

"Ishihara-kun said that our biggest problem is that we are too eager to completely annex China. If we take the initiative to retreat, then Chinese will fight on our own first......" Tu Feiyuan smiled sneeringly: "If the commander thinks that Chinese has been too aggressive recently, he might as well let Tada Jun of the North China Front give up some more territory to the CCP." ”

"But the CCP's power is already very strong, and it has formed a great penetration into North China, and if you let it go, ......" Terauchi Shouichi was no longer disgusted with this "cowardly" performance at the moment, he was only a little hesitant about the feasibility of this idea: "That poses a huge threat to our rule in North China." And it's hard to say whether Tada can agree to this plan. ”

Fu Zuoyi was aggressive in the north, and the cavalry under his command frequently harassed Zhangjiakou, and Okabe Naosaburo had a very hard time coping with it. I think you should have Tada mobilize some of his forces to help him...... It is better to concentrate some troops scattered in the county seats, and even some unimportant big cities, and reorganize them into armies, as for those places, only let the imperial army in North China guard them. Tu Feiyuan said lightly.

"I see." Shouichi Terauchi nodded, "I'll do it." I believe that after you have settled down in Japan again, you will be able to hear the news of the resumption of war between Chiang Kai-shek and the Communists. ”

"I hope so!" Dohihara forced a smile. He was confident in the idea, because it was given to him by Ishihara to deal with a possible counteroffensive by the Chinese army. But then again, who knows if that guy will have any means to counteract? After all, things have developed to this point, and he, Ishihara and the others have actually lost one step ahead.
