General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, Minister of War of Japan, saw that at the imperial military meeting held by Emperor Hirohito, he was numb to the blow of Prince Zaihito, chief of the general staff of the base camp of his old opponent, and he couldn't catch Zaihito's move!

Koichi Mineichi's idea of quickly withdrawing the Kwantung Army to Manchuria was based on the premise that the Soviet Army in the Far East was in a hurry to withdraw and meet the German army, but, as Prince Zaihito said, two of the three Soviet Front troops were withdrawn, and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, which was the most difficult to deal with, was still pestering the Kwantung Army to beat hard, and it was not easy to withdraw.

Therefore, Zairen's words, Miuchi Koichi still can't refute it, maybe he has been hit too much at the time, he has been numb, Michichi Mionei is sitting upright, his face is rigid, but he is back to normal, only some generals who are close to him will notice that the gaze of His Excellency the General is a little wandering and sloppy, and if you look closely, your pupils have a tendency to lose focus.

Zairen's speech continued, "The current war situation in the Far East is not a question of whether we let the Soviet army withdraw, but the question of whether the Soviet army has not given up on the heavy damage to the Kwantung Army, Zhukov's troops, why not withdraw together, it is very telling, it is not Zhukov's troops who continue to stay in the Far East, but Zhukov does not want to give up the opportunity, after the heavy damage or the total annihilation of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov's troops will definitely withdraw, otherwise, Stalin will not tolerate him!" ”

Including Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese civil and military officials present felt secretly happy that the Soviet army was busy retreating and the Kwantung Army had escaped, and they were nervous and nervous by Zaihito's words. According to Prince Zaihito, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front is going to eat the Kwantung Army and then return to the European direction of the Soviet Union, so the situation of the Kwantung Army is still extremely dangerous?

With the Kwantung Army suffering heavy casualties and a reduction of more than two-thirds of its troops after being attacked by superior Soviet troops, how could it be the opponent of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, and what should be done? The gaze of Emperor Hirohito. With anticipation, he looked at Prince Jaehion, and he knew that his scheming brother had asked this question. There must be a solution.

"Alas! I'm still thanking Amaterasu for the Kwantung Army's escape. It turned out to be an empty joy! Amakasu also fooled me? "Emperor Hirohito was full of unpleasant thoughts." Jae-in, do you have any solid solution? You might as well say it for your reference! He couldn't help urging anxiously.

"Brother Emperor can't help but ask questions regardless of his prestige, he must be very anxious!" Jae-in thought to himself, and no longer pretended to be profound. "In the current situation of the Far Eastern Theater, in order to ensure that the Kwantung Army was not heavily damaged by Zhukov's Far Eastern Front and did not let the Soviets take advantage, it retreated unscathed. Brother has a way! ”

"Finally, when the most critical time comes, the medicine in Prince Zairen's gourd should also be shaken out," the high-level Japanese ministers were in high spirits, their ears were like radar, and they stared at Prince Zairen intently, "Zairen, what can I do, say it quickly, don't swallow it!" Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but urge.

Prince Zairen said: "After receiving the information about the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the subordinate brother and the relevant departments of the General Staff immediately formulated an operational plan for the Soviet troops who were in a hurry to evacuate. ”

"However, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, which was fighting a fierce battle with the Kwantung Army, sent an opportunity to the empire At present, the plan of the courtiers is to send troops from the Far East, which has already left the border of Manchuria and entered the Far East, and the troops of the Korean Zhutun Army, immediately move in the direction of the Buleya Mountains and Kukan Mountains in the Far East."

"Guard officer, hang up the military map of the Far East!" Zaihito commanded loudly, a military map of the Far East, hung in front of Emperor Hirohito and his ministers, on the map, the Japanese army, the Soviet army, including Liu Tiehan's troops on the Chita line, all kinds of situations, all presented in front of the eyes, the red line, the blue line, the green line staggered and horizontal, like a continuous silk thread, tangled together, dazzling to see.

Zairen pointed to the map and said: "The Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, the place of battle is in the plain between the Bria Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, with the remaining combat strength in front of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov's desire to achieve victory is by no means an overnight thing, and the subordinate brother expects that the battle will last until early May, that is, before early May, Zhukov's troops will not retreat!" ”

Including Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese civil and military ministers still don't understand that Zhukov's troops are biting the Kwantung Army to the death, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing, but Prince Zaihito said that it was an opportunity, confused, right?

Everyone's different eyes turned to Zairen, and Prince Zairen calmly continued: "Don't talk about the defeat or total annihilation of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov does not dare to retreat, he is afraid that the Kwantung Army will turn around and chase after him, which is also the fundamental reason for his troops to cover the other two units of the Soviet Army, therefore, Zhukov made a fatal mistake and sent the opportunity to the empire now!" ”

"Your Majesty, please see, the two units of the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army, taking advantage of the opportunity of the fierce battle between Zhukov and the Kwantung Army, hid their whereabouts, and gathered on both sides of the Burea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains as quickly as possible, and then, with the troops of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov's troops, formed an encirclement trend, and then completely annihilated this Soviet army!"

Japan's civil and military ministers, today is an eye-opener, after the fight, even a little incredible, this Prince Zairen, is not only a master of intrigue and trickery, but also a good general who strategizes, the idea is bold enough, the first war completely annihilated the Soviet army of nearly 2 million troops on one front, very shocking!

Although many generals were skeptical of Prince Jaehito's plan and felt a little unbelievable, they also figured out some flavor from it, so they put their doubts in their stomachs and waited for Prince Jaehito's next words.

Prince Zairen saw that everyone was a little skeptical, and he was confident, and said very firmly: "Don't be surprised, don't think it's incredible, the Kwantung Army, the Far East Dispatch Army, and the Korean Zhutun Army together have a strength of more than 1.8 million people, which is definitely more than some compared with Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, please think about it carefully, the Kwantung Army, which is brave and good at fighting, has suffered heavy casualties, so what about the Soviet Far Eastern Front that has been fighting with the Kwantung Army for more than ten days?" ”

"It must also be a big reduction in troops, or the original lineup, definitely not, don't forget, under the long war, the Soviet soldiers are also exhausted, the sharpness is lost, and the ammunition is not sufficient, and what about the imperial side, the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army are two elite troops, just arrived on the battlefield, when the sharp spirit is in full bloom, with the elite division of our Great Japanese Empire, the exhausted division of the Soviet Army, under the condition of eliminating the strengths of the other, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the Soviet Far Eastern Front, but there is a great chance of victory!"

"From the point of view of the military posture of the Far East, the Soviet Army's Trans-Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front retreated first, and the distance between Zhukov's Far Eastern Front and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front was more than five days' distance, and the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army had already become a lone army.

"Taking a step back, even if Zhukov's troops can't be completely annihilated, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Soviet army, not only to relieve the siege of the Kwantung Army, but also to give the Soviet army a severe blow, no one, after inflicting losses on the Imperial Army, will retreat unscathed, Zhukov can't!"

"In the ancient art of war, there is a saying that is very correct -- 'It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers!' Zhukov was the isolated finger among the millions of Soviet troops, so this military operation of the Imperial Army in the Far East was called the 'Finger Cutting Project!' 'The purpose of the operation is to encircle and annihilate Zhukov's Far Eastern Front! ”

"The time and place are favorable, my great Japanese empire has all of them, if this good opportunity is lost because of some people's short-sighted ideas, for the empire, there will be endless troubles, who dares to ensure that Zhukov will not return to the Far East and continue to fight against our imperial army of the Japanese Empire, this person's military command ability, presumably you must also know a little bit about it, it can be said that it is a fierce opponent of our imperial generals."

"Therefore, this battle must be fought! As long as it is planned properly, the blood of more than a million Soviet soldiers will stain the land of the Far East red, and I already smell the strong smell of blood! The last few words, Prince Zairen said murderously, so far, a big article on the war situation in the Far East is over, Zairen has a lot of appetite, and he wants to swallow more than one million Zhukov's troops in one bite.

Zairen gave all the Japanese civil and military ministers, a vivid military and political lesson, previously, Mineichi Koichi's Chen, compared with it, a few streets behind, whether it is military operations or other aspects, Minechi Koichi's Chen, not only conservative, but also, there is a suspicion of fear of the enemy.

Emperor Hirohito and a group of important Japanese civil and military ministers were shocked by Prince Zaihito's bold idea, and after a few minutes of silence, "Bang, Bang!" Lonely applause rang out in the silent hall, and Emperor Hirohito, holding his thin hand, was the first to applaud, as if awakened, and then a storm of applause almost knocked over the roof of the palace.

Japan's civil and military ministers, admired the brilliant prospects depicted by Prince Zaihito, in an atmosphere of fanaticism about to open the pot, lost face, and was slapped in the face by Zairen in public, but his eyes flickered, sweeping away the previous decline, obviously, what did he find?
