In the past few days, Prince Zairen's mood has been terrible, and his life has been even more difficult, and several big air battles over the Strait of Malacca, Le Yiqin's mouth, instigated his eyes to be full of gold stars, and made His Excellency the dignified Chief of General Staff lose face to his grandmother's house.

The antique-level old guys of the Nogi family did not give up, which made him upset, and the attitude of the emperor's brother made him afraid, and there were also different voices in the base camp, questioning his ability to continue to serve as the chief of the general staff.

Not even a single hair of the Chinese fleet was injured, and it was also put into the Third Fleet, someone has to bear this responsibility, right? A battle that has lost the face of the Imperial Army of the Great Japan, what other ability does it have to command something at the strategic level?

After the war, he sent a telegram and asked in detail about the fiasco of the Seventh Air Force, and those surviving pilots told him, what is a large aircraft group, and the four words "overwhelming" But who can Zairen say to these words, saying that the strength of the Great Japanese Empire is not as good as that of the devil Tang Qiuli? Isn't that self-inflicted?

Although he succeeded in transferring the main factors of defeat to the Americans, so as not to be swept away by His Majesty the Emperor in front of the old guys of the Nogi family, the gloomy eyes of the Emperor's brother still made him shudder, and he made it clear that he had lost the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, or rather, he no longer obeyed his words.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor's edict was to think about it behind closed doors, and the post of chief of staff was temporarily held by Ishihara Waner, the deputy chief of staff, and Prince Zaihito went home dejectedly. Zairen was troubled when he thought about it, and he had just been squatting at home for two days when he received an order that His Majesty the Emperor would convene a meeting in front of the Emperor.

He came with his head and his head drooping. On the way to the palace, looking at the eyes of those bigwigs in the base camp was not right, and he also felt that he had suffered three points, the general of the defeated army, and now, the emperor's brother looked at himself again, and Zairen broke out in a cold sweat. To say that he is now, in addition to being afraid of Tang Qiuli, he is even more afraid of that Le Yiqin.

People are making trouble in the southeast of China, or the old rival Le Yiqin, the emperor's brother has to be the first to ask for his opinion, it was a good opportunity to watch Xiàn, but he can eat a trench and grow wise, why did he get mixed up like this? Again. It is estimated that there is no good fruit to eat.

Zairen's head turned, and when he had an idea, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor." The younger brother is now thinking about it behind closed doors, and he feels that he is not qualified to participate in this matter, but the younger brother recommends one person, that is, Ishihara-kun, who is the acting chief of the general staff. ”

Emperor Hirohito's first reaction was to "slippery" his gaze over Zaithito and look at Ishihara Waner, who was sitting precariously and was in trouble. Ishihara was also not polite, got up and said: "Wechen and the General Staff fully agree with His Majesty's judgment, what we have to do is how to deal with possible situations and defeat the delusions of the Shina people. Instead of babbling here and wasting time. ”

Zairen's face was not very good-looking, and he secretly scolded in his heart, "It's really ***, I haven't officially pushed Lao Tzu down, so I represent the General Staff?" Can't wait! The faces of the ministers and generals are also extremely ugly, there is no one who is not tired of this guy, Ishihara Wan'er said everything, including his predecessors in the army.

Emperor Hirohito smiled, looking at Ishihara Waner's eyes softly, and saw that Prince Zaihito was jealous, "Lieutenant General Huāyama Shui, acting chief of the general staff of Ishihara Waner and director of the military intelligence bureau of the base camp, stay, and the rest of Aiqing, you can dismiss the meeting, see no, Lian Zairen is not qualified to stay, participate in confidential affairs, disappointed, absolutely disappointed, has filled Prince Zaihito's heart."

After carefully analyzing the situation, Hirohito, Ishihara Waner, and the chief of the intelligence bureau came up with two countermeasures, one bright and one dark, and the first was clear, and the first and fourth fleets of the navy were quickly ordered to move closer to the mainland, and all carrier-based aircraft were in a state of readiness for war, including the land-based air force on the mainland, and the 13th and 21st air forces on the Korean Peninsula were unified to form the Territorial Air Defense Front, with Lieutenant General Ishihara Waner, acting chief of the general staff, as the commander, to coordinate and command all air forces and thwart the conspiracy of the Shina planes to sneak attack the mainland.

Secretly, in order to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, Lieutenant General Huā Shan Xiuyi, director of the Intelligence Bureau of the base camp, is in charge, using the imperial agents lurking in Shanghai, at any cost, to assassinate the two commanders of the independent division, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, as long as the two generals of the devil Tang Qiuli die, Tang Qiuli's conspiracy will naturally go bankrupt and be in the rush to clean up the mess, and the empire can have plenty of time to arrange this matter.

Emperor Hirohito naturally didn't believe that Tang Qiuli would do such a crazy thing, but he would rather believe that he had it, not that he didn't believe it, once a bomb fell on the mainland, he, the half-human and half-god emperor, would lose his face, and the more far-reaching impact was that the morale of the emperor's ** team and the confidence of the people was the biggest blow.

is still fighting and killing outside, bombs have fallen in his own home, the nest is not guaranteed, and he is still going to open up the territory and expand the territory? Why are you still worried about other people's things? Therefore, Hirohito said that the judgment of the ministers and good generals was for the above reasons, and in addition, the neurotic Hirohito could not think of any reasonable reason to explain the actions of that madman.

If Emperor Hirohito knew that Tang Qiuli would make a big move for the sake of a small island of Okinawa, he would be so nervous that he could not sleep and eat, and maybe he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

With the order of the general staff of the base camp, all the air forces of the Japanese army were assembled on the mainland, and they were very busy, and Le Yiqin, who had just arrived in Shanghai, and Major General Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group, who had arrived the day before, were immersed in the joy of reuniting old friends, and they did not know that the two had been on Hirohito's assassination list.

Le Yiqin's fighter plane landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Liu Cui was waiting at the end of the runway early, Le Yiqin jumped off the plane, Liu Cuigang hurriedly caught up, the two came to a bear hug first, and then on each other's chest, a few punches fiercely, counting, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, separated from the north and south, each responsible for a war zone, have not seen each other for almost two years.

The reunion of old friends is naturally very happy, Liu Cuigang looked at Le Yiqin, and said: "I said brother, it's not interesting enough, you drink wine and eat meat in the Indochina Peninsula, make as much fat as possible, there are big battles and small battles every day, and you have fun and happy, not to mention giving up a point, even the request for the two of us to change positions, you are grinding the division commander not to agree, I am in Beiping but my heart is panicked, no, I have grown fat!" ”

Le Yiqin's smile, indescribably proud, "Cuigang, I don't hide it from you, even this time our two flight groups are acting together, I don't want to, just with the strength of our Southern Flight Group, if you want to erase the big place, you can't do it from the map, but if you uproot the remaining little devils, it's not a difficult matter, I told the division commander, you are redundant." ”

Liu Cuigang's face was a little ugly, seeing that this guy was crazy, what's the matter, he was used to eating alone, he asked quietly: "What did the teacher say?" He wanted to show Le Yiqin's true words, and he was also curious about how the division commander replied to this guy.

Le Yiqin grinned, and said heartlessly: "Hey, don't mention it, I was beaten by the division commander, and said that my current state is not suitable for serving as the commander of this joint operation, and I want to change people, I quickly admit my mistake, no, hurriedly ran over, I know that even if the division commander is replaced, he can only replace you, and you are the only one who is qualified to do so." ”

Liu Cuigang laughed and said viciously, "You deserve it, you asked for it!" Le Yiqin's eyes widened, "What is the schadenfreude, dare to love you Tiangao Emperor is far away, I want to be trained, but I don't have this condition yet!" Liu Cuigang was speechless for a while, "I said brother, I haven't seen you for two years, you are good at your cheeky kung fu!" Do you eat alone? ”

The two talked and laughed, hooked their shoulders and backs, got into a jeep, followed by the two guards, listened dumbfounded, usually, the two bigwigs of the independent division aviation, by no means like this, today, the two major generals, just like children bickering, is also a scene, it is really an eye-opener, but it contains, the brotherhood and comradeship that cannot be dissolved, but it deeply moved these young guards.

When they arrived at the headquarters, both of them were experienced veterans, and in an afternoon, they quickly got a preliminary plan of action, and tomorrow they were revising it, and they could report it to the division, and when they looked at the time, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and outside the window, the neon lights of the big Shanghai were flashing, and the colors were so colorful that the eyes were huā.

Le Yiqin turned his mind and said to Liu Cuigang: "Cuigang, since you arrived in Dingbian, this big Shanghai, you haven't been here for four or five years, today, when you come to my defense area, I will do my best to be a landlord, let's change into civilian clothes, don't bring a guard, find a bar, how about catching up?" Relax a bit, but let's talk about it, when we see the teacher, no one is allowed to reveal half a word! ”

The reunion of old friends, coupled with the prosperity of Shanghai, evoked Liu Cuigang's dusty memory, and the action plan had been completed, and he said with great interest: "Okay, remember the bar we used to go to often?" Just go there, what, you also have people who are afraid? ”

Le Yiqin smiled embarrassedly, and replied: "I'm afraid of the division commander" The two major generals of the aviation corps, returned to the room to tinker for a while, changed into a suit, dressed like a broad young master, hid from the guards, quietly slipped out, called two rickshaws, and went towards the bar that they were familiar with before.

Three black cars, a certain distance, not far behind the two rickshaws, such a situation, in the streets of Shanghai, can be seen everywhere, it is common-
