~-~ Chapter 1230 The model of the emperor's ** people

After retreating to Yangon, Ito Yanzaburo, who stretched his neck and waited for the knife, was already planning for the worst, the tradition of the imperial ** team, for the front-line generals who disobeyed the military order, dealt with it without mercy, in addition to arranging the defense of Yangon, the command of the army, scattered and handed over to more than a dozen division commanders, these are his old subordinates, trustworthy, can not make their own deployment out of shape.

In addition, the authority originally held by the commander-in-chief was gradually transferred, and according to the terrain conditions of Yangon, the defense area was divided, and the defense was divided into divisions, and Ito was responsible for the officers under him, and it was a request that "I should die in Yangon, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese Empire," with a posture of explaining the aftermath, and then waiting for the ruling of the base camp at the mercy of fate.

On October 27, Ito, who had nothing to do, ushered in the special envoy of the base camp, Major General Shinnan Kenzan, director of the Second Office of the General Staff, in his private residence.

The people in this department have great power, and they are directly under the leadership of the chief of the general staff, and they can investigate and even detain any senior officer without the permission of the supreme commander of the unit.

Within the Japanese army, in private, the second room is called the "Hades Palace", don't look at Shinnan is just a major general, if you want to take him down as a general, you won't frown, Ito's face is miserable, finally here, the base camp sent such a living Hades, who dares to be a war horse for himself? This time, I was going to be unlucky, no wonder, so far, none of those old friends have revealed any news to themselves, it turns out that they are afraid of being infected with their own bad luck.

Shinnan Kenzan looked at General Ito Yanzaburo, whose face was as ugly as a dead man, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of contempt, "The dignified general of the Imperial Army, the commander-in-chief who commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is not more than Erer, when he sees the people in the second room, he also has tendons in his legs and stomachs, and he shiveres, it seems that the authority of the second room has penetrated into the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the imperial army." ”

Not long after Shinnan was promoted to director of the second office of the General Staff, he used to be the chief of staff of the Tokyo Military Police Command, which was also a real power unit, but it was definitely not as majestic as the second room.

Ito gave up Shinnan Kenzan to his seat, and said with a wry smile: "Director Shinnan, you are the special envoy of the base camp, and you are here on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, no matter what the result is, I am willing to bear it, but there is one sentence, please Shinnan-kun to play His Majesty the Emperor, all of Ito Yanzaburo's actions are not for personal reputation or self-interest, but for the sake of the Japanese Empire." ”

After speaking, Ito stood straight in front of a major general, waiting for the final verdict, but he also looked very single, Shinan sat calmly, with a playful posture that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Ito's heart flashed a trace of unhappiness, "The phoenix that fell on the shelf is not as good as a chicken, if it weren't for the disobedience to the emperor's order, how dare you, a small major general, be so arrogant in front of me?" What if you are the director of the second room? Ito, Ito, am where I am today because of my outstanding military exploits. ”

Shinnan Kenzan took enough prestige, and then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Commander-in-Chief Ito, why do you say this?" Oh, by the way, here's a letter, you'll understand it all when you read it," he said, taking out a letter from his briefcase, and handing it to Ito with both hands as if he were holding a treasure.

Ito took it and looked at the envelope, he was dizzy at the time, on the envelope, it was clearly covered with the family emblem of the imperial family, a golden chrysanthemum pattern, Ito had no luck in his heart, "My own affairs, I actually alarmed the emperor, and His Majesty personally dealt with himself, it can be seen that in the eyes of the emperor, he is already a heinous sinner." ”

Ito opened the letter sleepwalking, the content on it, and made him in a trance, Emperor Hirohito's handwritten letter was very short, "Ito Aiqing, what you did, I am very pleased, can regardless of personal safety gains and losses, judge the situation, and preserve the strength of the Japanese Empire, Aiqing's loyalty and bravery, should be a model for the emperor's ** people, the situation in Yangon is very dangerous today, and Aiqing will continue to carry forward this spirit, stick to Yangon, and then create a legend for the Japanese Emperor's ** team, Yangon depends on the general, please!" ”

The outcome of the matter was not at all what he imagined, not only did he not have the sin of disobedience on the battlefield, but His Majesty the Emperor also encouraged him, "The model of the emperor ** person," This is a very high praise, not only that, but His Majesty the Emperor also put the heavy responsibility of guarding Yangon on his shoulders, which is a great trust.

Ito burst into tears, so that he couldn't cry, the emperor's majesty looked forward to and encouraged, even if he was crushed, he couldn't repay it, the ups and downs, the dramatic ending, made Ito's blood churn, he really couldn't find the right words to express his gratitude to the emperor's kindness, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the emperor's majesty!" ”

The loudness and excitement of the voice startled Shinnan Kenzan, and calmed down a little, Ito returned to his usual posture, and the whole person was like a blowing, bulging, all the self-confidence, soul, magically returned to his body, with the self-satisfaction of power, the coercion of the superior, and then looked at Shinnan's eyes, not sincere and fearful, but with a condescending taste.

Shinnan Jianshan shook his head secretly, "Why are all the high-ranking generals of the empire a virtuous, when they are at a low point, they are like dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and once they gain power, they have a proud face," Xinnan Jianshan has experienced a lot of such things, but he is still not very comfortable every time, and he seems to feel that his authority has been challenged.

Shinnan Kenzan couldn't help but want to stimulate Ito for a few words, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again, "Ito, this guy, is in the limelight at the moment, he is a red man in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, not only did he have nothing to do with the battlefield disobedience, but also gave a very high evaluation and praise, he can't afford to fight with him, just get along with each other, anyway, he is a messenger, as for the defense of Yangon, there is no such article in the mission, and it is not good for him to overstep his authority." ”

Shinnan Kenshan's gaze was changed to admiration, and his posture was just right, he wanted to lower his posture, but Ito didn't appreciate it, "This guy's attitude just now was clearly laughing at himself, looking at his own jokes, after seeing the outcome of the matter, he wanted to set the right relationship, he was a standard sinister villain, how could the empire give the power to supervise the army to such a person?" ”

Ito also understood, the content of this letter, Xinnan this guy didn't know, he thought that when he arrived in Yangon, he could see a general with great achievements, that unlucky, preconceived impression, very terrible, even the kind smile on Shinnan's face, in Ito's opinion, is also very false, with such a guy, there is no need to continue to deal with it.

Ito glanced at Shinan lightly, and said unceremoniously: "Director Shinnan, your mission has been completed, in view of the critical situation in Yangon, I still have a lot of military information to deal with, I will not accompany you, you can also go back to the homeland to resume your life," After speaking, he didn't even have the interest to take a look at Shinnan, and walked away.

Leaving Shinnan Jianshan, who was stunned, was so angry that he almost jumped up, did Ito take the wrong medicine, the front and back are too obvious, he is a dog-faced, and he turns his face faster than turning a book, and he flew over from the mainland, bringing him the gospel, and he didn't even catch a meal, so he ordered the eviction? Xinnan Jianshan gritted his teeth and secretly ruthless, "Don't fall into your own hands in the future, otherwise, he will die an ugly death." ”

Emperor Hirohito had just given Ito a handwritten letter, and then the General Staff of the base camp sent a telegram to Ito, and the content of the telegram was only one, "Rangoon must ensure that in view of the relatively severe battle losses of the Imperial Southeast Asian Dispatch Army in the previous period, the base camp has decided to transfer three fully manned divisions from the newly formed South Pacific Front to the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, and set off from the mainland on the same day to reinforce the Rangoon battlefield by sea, and the supplementary equipment will also arrive with the ship." ”

General Ito Yanzaburo, who was constantly surprised and inspired by the burning passion, immediately threw himself into the defense of Yangon, and he immediately convened a military meeting to take back all the powers that had been released some time ago, adjusted the deployment, and made preparations for holding Rangoon for a long time, and established the Yangon Garrison Command, with himself assuming the post of commander.

The senior generals of the Japanese army who attended the meeting found that Commander-in-Chief Ito, as if he had changed his person, swept away the decadence and depression of some time ago, and the confidence and majesty of the past reappeared on his body, walking like a patient with a high fever, his cheeks glowed with excitement, his eyes were bright, and he had a majestic posture that stood out from the world.

The Japanese officers whispered, guessing what kind of force made the commander-in-chief like a mainland doping? Ito saw the doubts of his generals, and proudly read the letter written by His Majesty the Emperor to himself in public.

His Majesty the Emperor praised him, "The model of the emperor's ** people," What a great honor is this? It was also the glory of all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, the officers spontaneously stood up, bowed collectively, and saluted the role model in their minds, and then, the stormy applause, the feverish sound, almost tore down the roof of the conference room, and Ito's prestige, at this moment, reached its peak.
