Ishihara has always had an intuition: although Qin Wei rarely makes any more moves in intelligence, it is still difficult for all his actions to escape the eyes of the other party. In other words, every move of the Japanese army was expected by the Chinese. And the facts have been proving his guesses. Just like the Battle of Guangzhou that just ended, Takashi Sakai thought that he had a plan, but he was calculated by the other party, and he fell directly into the trap of the other party without knowing it. Therefore, Ishihara resolutely opposed the Japanese army's attack on Burma. Because the Japanese army is still not strong enough to be fearless, although the amount of force they have invested in Burma may be doubled, the Chinese will never be much worse. On the contrary, the Chinese military, which has an intelligence advantage, will have greater initiative.

Can you just avoid the Chinese all the time? Apparently impossible. Japan and China are now almost dead, and neither can let go unless one side is completely defeated. Compared with the strength of Britain and the United States in Asia, the actual strength of the Chinese is much stronger, and Japan will never be able to fight with Britain and the United States while keeping this neighbor on the sidelines.

But how can you deal with an enemy who knows everything?

Ishihara had thought of many ways to find out the enemy hiding in the shadows, and he teamed up with Kenji Dohihara to try to find the enemy hiding in the shadows, but unfortunately he found nothing, not even a clue. So, he decided to go with another method, and that method is - potential! Crush all enemies with absolute strength! Let the Chinese themselves find themselves unable to fight Japan, and then choose to surrender. But this requires that Britain and the United States be driven out of the country and gain absolute strategic superiority over China. And to do this, it is necessary to completely cut off the route for the Chinese to receive British and American aid.

Through many deductions, Ishihara found that the Chinese's purpose was most likely to be to use them to expel Britain and the United States from Southeast Asia, and then come out on their own and attack from Burma. All the way south until the capture of Singapore, the strategic choke point of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. At that time, Britain and the United States could only support China, because only the Chinese had enough strength to block the Japanese army advancing westward for them. And with such an advantage, the Chinese can open their mouths to Britain and the United States. Of course, by occupying Singapore and Malaya, the Chinese also have the choke point of the sea route from Indonesia to Japan, and can even directly use Singapore as a forward base to bomb Indonesia's oil fields. It also has a considerable advantage over Japan.

But there's a trick here. That is, no one knows how the Chinese are sure that they can win in Myanmar!

Intelligence alone?

It's hard. As a high-ranking member of the Japanese Army and an important staff officer relied on by Hideki Tojo and others, he knew very well how closely the Japanese army guarded against the Chinese. Especially for the opponent's air force, which is always elusive, Hideki Tojo even persuaded Emperor Hirohito to ship the latest jet fighter from Germany to the front line in Southeast Asia......

Air Force Superiority! Army superiority! Naval superiority! This is also for what Terauchi Shouichi that coward has been devastated by the Chinese. The reason why he finally dared to show his fangs to the other party again. That guy wants to regain his long-lost self-confidence from the Chinese, and the same. There are a lot of people who think this way. So. This will from the front eventually led to a change in the minds of Hideki Tojo and the emperor in the palace. Take China first, and then talk about other ...... These guys still think that the Chinese are better bullied than the British!

But knowing that Lu Dao was so wrong and would fall into the trap of the Chinese, Ishihara Guaner had no choice. Because the Imperial Japanese Army would not allow a sane person to influence its actions for a long time. This freak has been labeled "crazy" almost from the day it was born...... Want to influence it. Then it is likely to kill the person or force that wants to affect it first.

Ishihara wanted to change this situation, and even went to the point of asking Emperor Hirohito, but unfortunately nothing came of it. Later, he was even ordered to rush to the staff headquarters of the Second General Army to perform his duties as chief of staff...... Other words. He has already been practically "abandoned" by the top of the Japanese army!

……

What happened to Ishihara is like that of some of the more famous people in history who were crossed the river and demolished the bridge. But I have to admit that some people who have made great achievements in more professional fields are actually often failures in interpersonal relations and political activities, and there are many examples of this in China, and in modern times, there is one who is similar to Ishihara, and this is Jiang Fangzhen...... This benevolent brother, who has always been listed as the "No. 1 military strategist of the Republic of China", has been famous all over the world in the Beiyang era, but because he wants to do something and can't do it, he was so angry that he pulled out a gun and committed suicide in Baoding Military Academy, and he was also in front of all the teachers and students of the school. After the suicide failed, he recovered from his injuries and recovered his health, Jiang Fangzhen may have really felt the atmosphere of the whole China, and from then on he concentrated on sitting as a staff officer. From the Beiyang era to the era of the Nationalist Government, until he became an important staff member under Lao Chiang, no matter how dedicated he was, he could not get any opportunity to actually command the battle. This continued until last year, in 1941! That year, Jiang Fangzhen died!

Compared to Jiang Fangzhen, Ishihara was lucky, he planned the strategy of the whole of Japan for at least a while; Compared with Jiang Fangzhen, he is unlucky, Jiang Fangzhen has not encountered any too outstanding opportunities to show his face, but he has not been crossed the river and demolished the bridge so seriously. If you are disappointed, you won't fall too hard when you fall, and if you don't take the initiative to fight for too many things, you won't have any enemies, and you will at least be able to gain the respect of everyone on the surface...... But Ishihara can't. He originally thought that he would be able to command the military operations of all Japan through Hideki Tojo and Isoroku Yamamoto, but he did not expect to be suddenly abandoned when the situation was good, so he fell ill...... I can't afford to be sick!

And just when Ishihara was seriously ill, Terauchi Shouichi's Southern Army finally began a general offensive against Southeast Asia.

Having suffered too many losses from the Chinese and almost collapsed, Terauchi Shouichi attached great importance to fighting the Chinese. So, before attacking Burma, he decided to take Malaya first and deal with the enemy in the south. And in order to ensure victory, he sent nearly half of his troops at once, totaling 130,000 men. In front of him were the British, British, Indian, Australian, and Malay armies stationed in Malaya, with a total of five divisions and four brigades, totaling 110,000 men.

The strength of the troops seems to be about the same. But as soon as the battle began, the British army was defeated one after another. Percival, commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Far East, tried to delay the Japanese offensive by means of passes and rivers in order to buy time to strengthen the southern defenses. But what he didn't know was that the Japanese intelligence department had already bought off a man named Bai Cui. Colonel officer in Hannam. With his "help," the Japanese Navy's 22nd Air Corps and the Army's 3rd Flying Group destroyed the Allied air base in northern Malaya within three days, and soon bombed Singapore and Kuantan, an important town in western Malaya, severely damaging the British bases and airfields in these two places, especially destroying a large amount of British airpower.

Percival had no choice but to pin his hopes on the British Far East Fleet, hoping that the Royal Navy would be able to repel the Japanese sea forces. As a result, due to the lack of air cover, the flagship of the Far Fleet "Prince of Wales" and the battle cruiser "Counterattack" were sunk by the Japanese in the waters southeast of Kuantan. As a result, the Japanese army gained sea and air supremacy, ensuring the smooth completion of the sea transportation mission. After that, the main force of the Japanese army advanced rapidly along the Malay Peninsula from north to south, and with the cooperation of the navy, quickly occupied Kuantan, and after a short rest, went straight to Kuala Lumpur.

"Tut-tut, it really made Qin Wei, a stinky boy, right. The British are not good. ”

Chongqing Ministry of Defense.

He Yingqin hid in his office, looking at the newspaper reports on the war in Southeast Asia and the sarcasm of the British army, his face full of schadenfreude. He already knew the arrangement of his side, and after deduction, he also knew that his side had a great chance of winning. So, I don't care what the situation is with those two allies. It's not a good thing anyway, it's better to kill them all.

"Powerful?" Opposite He Yingqin was a middle-aged man with a wide forehead and sparse eyebrows, and when he heard He Yingqin's fresh word, he seemed very interested, "This is a newly invented word by our language master?" ”

"And what do you think?" He Yingqin asked with a smile.

"It's quite vivid." The other party laughed.

"Hehe, I can give you a thumbs up for one of the 'Three Heroes of Whampoa', it can be seen that this kid Qin Wei is also 'powerful'! Yes? Ha Lu haha...... "He Yingqin laughed.

"Teacher, don't make fun of me, what 'Whampoa Sanjie'? Jiang Xianyun died early, not to mention, Chen Geng is at least a member of the Communist Party, but what am I? The middle-aged man is He Jinhan, one of the most famous graduates of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was also Lao Jiang's most trusted student. It is a pity that when the "Xi'an Incident" broke out, this benevolent brother, Deng Wenyi and others secretly colluded with He Yingqin, who was known as the "pro-Japanese faction", and mobilized more than 170 young generals to telegraph "rebellion", resolutely advocating the march of troops to "crusade" against Zhang and Yang He to bomb Xi'an, and also supported He Yingqin as the temporary commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force in the name of the "Whampoa Alumni Association", and assumed the general responsibility of "crusading against Zhang and Yang's rebellion...... In the end, he also organized a "rebellion and hardship group", claiming to fight Zhang and Yang to the death and rescue their principal. But there was a lot of trouble, and before they could "go on the expedition", the "Xi'an Incident" was resolved peacefully. And because of this, Lao Jiang also saw through the face of his proud protégé, and almost swept it to the end...... Although after the official outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he got a position as the head of the first department of the Political Department, but he still had no real power, and the Political Department wanted to engage in a united front with the Communist Party. But he resigned and resigned, but he forgot another problem, the national government now has few officials and many people. So, he's still at home. (To be continued......)
