Chapter 2144: Lieutenant General Shinno who was almost killed

Prince Zaihito's order caused great indignation among the generals of the Kwantung Army, and for more than a month, the Kwantung Army had fought a bloody battle with more than 4 million troops of the Soviet Army on three fronts at the cost of nearly one million soldiers.

The blood shed by the Kwantung Army for the Japanese Empire and for His Majesty the Emperor was enough, and the small-scale counteroffensive to contain the Soviet Far East Front was also understandable, obeying the Imperial Far East campaign plan, the generals of the Kwantung Army, although they were uncomfortable, also faithfully carried out the orders of the General Staff of the base camp, and should have retreated to Manchuria to recover their vitality, but they had to continue to fight with the Soviet army.

However, what is the matter with Prince Jaehion's order? Is it to push the Kwantung Army into a corner? With all the troops and the whole front attacking, even a major commander of the Imperial Army knows what the final result will be, could it be that Prince Jaehion, who is the chief of the general staff of the base camp, will not know?

The major general of the Kwantung Army choked up and couldn't say the following words, but his attitude was obviously the common voice of the dozen or so senior officers of the Kwantung Army present, Prince Jaehito was blatantly going to put the Kwantung Army to death, and more than a dozen senior officers of the Kwantung Army took a step forward together, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" - You want to keep the last trace of the blood of the Kwantung Army! While shouting with grief and indignation, he shot his cannibalistic eyes viciously at Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign, as if he was the incarnation of the sinister and vicious Prince Zaihito!

The eyes that were enough to kill made Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, a cool breeze burst from his backbone, and it had been more than ten days since he arrived at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Originally, I thought that I had a heavenly constitution in my mouth, a Qincha, and the chief of staff of the headquarters, and in the Kwantung Army, what I represented was the attitude of the commander-in-chief, Prince Zaihito himself.

Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno even has a plan buried deep in his heart. By gradually stripping General Minamijiro of his command and eventually squeezing him out of the Kwantung Army, the most important overseas unit of the Empire of Japan would fall under his control. It should be regarded as a great gift to the noble person of his life, Prince Zairen. In order to repay His Highness's kindness. But I know that His Royal Highness is always angry that the Kwantung Army is not under his control!

I know that after arriving at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, it is not like that at all, and I have a number of prominent titles. If you don't go to the river, you don't know how deep the water is in the bay of the Kwantung Army, and the respect is absolutely in place, but the specific operational command of the Kwantung Army troops. I can't get along at all, I can't intervene, and all the generals of the Kwantung Army keep a polite distance from me.

Even, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno can feel the hidden hostility from this cold politeness, and he has also tried to divide and win over some important generals within the Kwantung Army, but after trying a few times, without exception, he touched a nose of ash, and also provoked the implicit warning of General Minamijiro, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno only then understood that for so many years, General Minamijiro has been running the iron bucket of the Kwantung Army, and water can't be poured in!

In the Kwantung Army, not to mention those division commanders and brigade commanders, it is a small captain of the Wing of the Great Zuo, and even the captains of the brigade do not dick themselves as the chief of staff of the Lieutenant General of the General of the Headquarters, in the Kwantung Army for more than ten days, the work of Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Nino can be summed up in a few words, "No progress, nothing to do!" "Totally marginal!

Now, because of an order from His Royal Highness the Prince, he has pushed himself to the cusp of hatred and anger, and these Kwantung army leaders who rolled over from the pile of dead people and crawled out of the sea of blood will not vent their anger on themselves, right?

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno felt a chill in his heart, and became uneasy, if he was really killed by that reckless guy with one shot, he would have died unjustly, and he said in his conscience that he knew nothing about His Royal Highness's order that was enough to arouse hatred in advance!

But the generals of the Kwantung Army, who cares about this, only know that Lieutenant General Shinno is a cronie of Zairen's bastard, from this guy came to the General Headquarters, he was not pleasing to the eye, it was clear that Prince Zaihito sent to the Kwantung Army was the eyes and ears of the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army, which was bleeding and sweating for the Japanese Empire, was not at ease at all, and there were five people and six children all day long, with a dog-fighting posture!

Chief of Staff of the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign, Lieutenant General, what a big name, I'm phew! It's okay to scare the rats, how old are you? In the eyes of those of us who have been fighting with the Soviet Army for more than a month, it's not bullshit, even if this guy is killed, it's not a big deal, when the time comes, make up a reasonable excuse, and the base camp can't find out the truth, one day, the Kwantung Army is not dead, and the generals at the level of lieutenant generals and division commanders have been martyred several times, and a lot of major generals have died!

The death of another lieutenant general is not an accident, even if there is no accident, it will create an accident, the large-caliber howitzer shells of the Soviet army, as dense as raindrops, do not have long eyes, it is impossible to distinguish which one is an ordinary soldier, each is the chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the General Headquarters, and after one shot, the body is still torn apart.

When the time comes, let those people in the base camp not even see the corpse of this guy, as for the few attachés of this guy, just accompany them on the road, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, thinking like this, these high-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army, the murderous aura in their hearts can be exposed, one by one, their eyes are red, flashing with cold light, their hands are holding the handle of the command knife, and they are pressing towards Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno step by step, and for a while, the atmosphere in the general headquarters is tense to the extreme, and the murderous aura is permeated!

Forced over by a group of generals with fierce eyes, murderous eyes, exposed hands, and green muscles, and holding the handle of the sword, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, felt that death was so close to him, and from the eyes of these officers, he could see that the officers of the Kwantung Army, who had been stimulated by the heavy losses and almost lost their minds, and were angered by Prince Zaihito's order, really wanted to kill themselves!

Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno's face instantly turned pale, he suddenly realized that he was isolated and helpless in the Kwantung Army, these guys who had lost their minds could create the illusion of dedication to the Japanese Empire in any way, and even, after killing themselves, they would apply to the base camp for a medal for themselves. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, with his eyes half-closed.

After Prince Zaihito's order was conveyed, what happened in the General Headquarters, especially the cowardice of Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, was seen by Senior General Minamijiro, which made him look down on this former Lieutenant General of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff of the Base Camp who suddenly became a high position, to be honest, for His Excellency the Chief of Staff, Senior General Nanjiro was very unimpressed.

In Minamijiro's heart, this lieutenant general who has been sitting in the spacious and bright office of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters in the Tokyo base camp is a guy who can only talk on paper, and can only draw up the strategic plan of the Empire of Japan on the map, thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, with his own imagination.

For this guy who climbed to the position of chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Imperial Far East Campaign because of a coincidence, General Minamijiro didn't even feel guilty and wronged, but when he saw him making small moves behind his back, he really made a warning.

Senior General Minamijiro can ignore Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, the chief of staff of the headquarters, but he doesn't dare to ignore Prince Zaihito behind him, that is his old boss, General Koichi Yonechi, the backstage boss of the Kwantung Army, a heavyweight military boss of the same level, Minamijiro thinks that he does not have the ability and ability to wrestle with Prince Zaihito, otherwise, he would have sent His Excellency the Chief of Staff, who can only talk loudly, and go back to the Khabarovsk Battle General Headquarters, don't make trouble for me here!

It's not good to drive away, then hang up, let him feel bored, can't stay, take the initiative to get out, the Kwantung Army is not a guy like you, a place to point fingers, therefore, General Minamijiro has never put Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno in his eyes, but just the look in his eyes for help just now made General Minamijiro understand at least one thing, Prince Zaihito's extremely ruthless order has nothing to do with His Excellency the Chief of Staff, he didn't know in advance!

At first, when he heard this order, General Minamijiro was almost stunned, and his first reaction was that Prince Zaihito planned to borrow a knife to kill people and eradicate the Kwantung Army, the descendant of His Excellency Michichi Yonechi, in order to achieve the goal of weakening political enemies, and the anger in General Minamijiro's heart was immediately ignited.

He almost thought, this is a conspiracy, and then, almost impulsively, General Minamijiro immediately sent a telegram to His Excellency Michichi Koichi, stating the facts, the Kwantung Army cannot be betrayed and sacrificed in such a despicable way, and he is about to put it into action, but deep down, a voice keeps reminding him, "Be calm, with Prince Zaihito's cunning and treachery, he will not do such a blatant thing, if the Kwantung Army is destroyed in this attack that cannot see victory, Prince Zaihito, who gave the order, will not be able to escape the blame, He had to face the combined pressure of His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency Koichi Yoneuchi, as well as from all walks of life in the country. ”

Thinking like this, Minamijiro forced himself to calm down and began to think about why Prince Zaihito gave this order, which could kill the Kwantung Army, and once he calmed down, Nanjiro's military talent was fully revealed.
