After Prince Zaihito dictated the telegram, Major General Yamada, who recorded it, couldn't help but be stunned, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart, how to say it, His Royal Highness the prince's reply to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, the content is too much-that?

What's wrong? It does not conform to the consistent style of His Royal Highness the Prince, in terms of position, he is the chief of the general staff of the base camp, one of the giants of the imperial military, and now, he is in command of the largest military group in the empire, in terms of identity, he is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no one, with the most noble blood on his body, and his identity is prominent, within the scope of the empire, needless to say, broadly speaking, the entire Japanese Empire is the brother of the people, and his demeanor naturally has the dignity and arrogance of the imperial family.

Ping Suli, treating his subordinates, is naturally amiable, but if anyone ignores the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is asking for hardship, and there is no need to wait for bad luck, it will be there immediately, but now, for the commander of a subordinate army, he has such a low profile, Yan Zhan said a little, it is a self-surrendering identity, and the meaning of bending and bending is very strong, and even, there is a bit of a sense of bending to welcome, and the flesh is numb!

However, Minister Yamada is an old fritter after all, and he immediately caught a trace of the subtlety, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince is going to think about the Kwantung Army!" Otherwise, it wouldn't be so low-profile! He speculated to himself.

Major General Yamada was stunned for a moment, and did not escape the eyes of Prince Zaihito, who was as cunning as a fox, and also felt that the content of the telegram he dictated was a little obsessed, which made this not simple subordinate feel a trace of peculiarity, and explained in a disguised manner: "Nanjijun is a rare general of the Imperial Army, who can use the troops of the headquarters who have been exhausted for a long time, and in order to win the Far East campaign, he does not hesitate to attack the strong again with weakness, which is dangerous. It's really unpredictable, but despite this, Nan Cijun still takes into account the overall situation and executes the order without hesitation, his heart is commendable, his ambition is praiseworthy, and he is worthy of my generation's admiration and emulation! ”

Rear Admiral Yamada is also a person, otherwise, he would not have risen sharply because of one step. is a person with clear eyebrows and eyes, how can he not understand what Prince Zairen means, of course, he can't say it yet, and he can't show his ignorance. The scale of the period is grasped, and the skills are very exquisite. Sycophant shooting. No traces, no fireworks, the person being photographed, like a spring breeze, is all over the body, and the pores and eyes of the whole body are open. It's the highest level of sycophancy!

Major General Yamada said in awe: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, your words should be the motto of the Imperial Generals. This move by General Minamijiro can be said to have laid the foundation for the victory of your Far East campaign plan, such a commander, such a force, and a commander with extraordinary ability, high position, foresight and strategic vision, will surely become a tiger with wings and become a victorious division in a hundred battles, and fight for the Japanese Empire! ”

Jaeren smiled, he understood the meaning of Yamada's words, and he also knew that this shrewd guy probably knew his own thoughts, "Based on this, Yamada's ability is a few points higher than that elm-headed guy in Shinno, and he is a more suitable candidate for chief of staff!" He thought to himself.

The purpose of each other has been achieved, and Yamada said goodbye with interest, and just walked to the door of the office, and before he could go out, he was stopped by Prince Zaihito again, "Yamada-kun, please wait a moment, since the Kwantung Army has carried out the orders of the headquarters, it will not make much sense for Shinno-kun to stay in the general headquarters of the Kwantung Army again, and General Minamijiro can also let go of his hands and feet to command the troops, I plan to transfer Shinno-kun back to the headquarters, does Yamada-kun have any plans?" ”

Of course Yamada is not happy, he, the head of the General Staff Headquarters who acts as the chief of staff, has just been in power for a few days, and he has not yet experienced the pleasure of power, and soon, the boss in essence is going to return to the headquarters, will His Royal Highness still ask for his own opinion on everything, will he still rely on himself so much, after all, that guy in Xinye is the chief of staff of the real brand, and he can't go to the kang across the pot, in the future, will he still have to mix?

However, this kind of thought can not be revealed either, Yamada pretended to think for a while, and said cautiously: "Commander-in-chief, the department thinks it is inappropriate, the chief of staff of Nino is stationed in the general headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and he is actually responsible for supervising the army. ”

"Oh?" Prince Zairen was slightly surprised, and looked at Major General Yamada with burning eyes, "Yamada-kun, what do you think?" ”

Yamada was also very cautious, and said: "The Ministry of Duties believes that Chief of Staff Shinno can continue to stay in the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, but it is necessary for His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to send a secret telegram to restrain his behavior, and he is only responsible for observation and must not interfere with the combat operations of the Kwantung Army." ”

Prince Zairen nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "Yamada-kun is thoughtful, my main energy is to focus on the Far East campaign, you will send a telegram to the chief of staff of Xinye in my name, the specific content is what you just built, how to word, you consider how to deal with it!" ”

Major General Yamada bowed and withdrew, Prince Zaihito's face showed a playful smile, what he didn't see was that Major General Yamada, who closed the office door, had a cold smile on his face, "Tatsuaki Shinno, hum, your chief of staff should also do it!" It's not me who is unkind, it's you who are stupid! "In the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Shinno was completely marginalized, and now, His Royal Highness the Prince has hung him up again, and both sides are miserable, even if he stays on the throne of the chief of staff, what should he do?

In the Far Eastern Battlefield, the temporary station of the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, in a vacant space between the mountain passes, a new wide tent was erected, this is the venue for the emergency military conference that is about to begin, and the war room of the General Headquarters with a solid shelter is too small to accommodate nearly a hundred senior officers, so the General Staff came up with such a note, and originally thought that Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro would be very dissatisfied.

But in a hurry, he could only do this, and he was nervous, waiting for His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to be furious, and after the report, his head was tucked into the crotch of his pants, and he was waiting to be scolded. - Great! Very creative, in the midst of the rumbling cannons, convening a military meeting will keep many people's minds highly awake! ”

The military meeting has not yet begun, it is said to be the rear, in fact, it is about the same as the front line, outside is the rumbling sound of artillery, in the dark sky, intertwined with the dark red ballistics dragged by Soviet and Japanese shells, the shells cut through the air, with a piercing scream, swept overhead, from time to time there were a few Soviet large-caliber howitzer shells, I don't know whether they deviated from the trajectory, or captured the target, they exploded not far from the tent, and the mountains shook for a while.

The earth stirred up by the explosion of the shells fell on the tent with a "brush" of firelight, reflecting the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who were in charge of guarding, the wooden face, a senior general of the Kwantung Army, wearing a dirty general uniform, or riding a car, or riding a horse, with the smell of gunpowder smoke all over his body, a tired look, and nervous speculation and puzzlement, from the bloody battlefield, hurried back with a murderous face.

Similar night battle scenes, for these Japanese officers who are alive even if they pick up a life, open their eyes, and don't know if they can survive today and see the sun tomorrow, it is commonplace, artillery shells explode dozens of meters away from them, and they don't even frown, let alone have no interest in paying attention, and they have fought with the Soviet army for nearly a month, and there are fewer generals who fell on the battlefield?

But for Lieutenant General Shinno, who was invited to participate in the military conference, he was frightened, before, he had been commanding thousands of troops and horses of the Great Japanese Empire in the spacious and bright office of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the base camp, and the smoke of artillery fire was an imaginary picture.

According to the words of the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff Shinno, you are a superior from the headquarters, and for your safety, Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro has made a special statement to ensure that nothing goes wrong, therefore, without my permission, please do not leave the Cover Department without permission!" Seeing that Lieutenant General Shinno's face was not very good-looking, he explained: "Please don't misunderstand, the large-caliber shells of the Soviet army will often fall near the headquarters, you don't grasp the rules, and you are worried that something will happen to you!" ”

In this way, the face of Chief of Staff Shinno looks good, and his heart is relieved, since General Nanjiro has a fist and good intentions, he is happy to accept it, the Soviet shells do not have long eyes, and you can't tell whether you are a lieutenant general or a private!

Now, crawling out of the sturdy shelter and coming to the ground, what I smell in my nose is the smell of gunpowder smoke that chokes people's throats and eyes, the smell of blood that even a strong night wind can't blow away, and what I hear in my ears is a huge roar like thunder, the scream of shrapnel flying sideways, and what my eyes see is a ballistic trajectory that fills the night sky, a glittering fire, a huge column of smoke rising into the sky with the fire and a loud noise!

Don't look at the rank of lieutenant general, but when it comes to the battlefield experience, he is an authentic rookie, how can he devote himself to the real battlefield, his legs and stomach can't help but tremble, his eyes are not enough, every shell explosion, he is scared to shrink his neck, every time the fire flashes, it dazzles his eyes, his head is dizzy, there is no heel under his feet, uneven, and the ground full of craters, so that His Excellency the Lieutenant General's Chief of Staff, the soles of his feet flashed, and he made a big fuss.

Lieutenant General Shinno's fall, fell hard enough, and he really fell to the ground, with a knife face, and the cold ground, to have a close contact, almost knocked off his front teeth, this is also to blame himself, the two eyes stared, far and near the fire caused by the explosion of the shells, for fear of falling to his side, did not care about the soles of his feet.

fell hard enough, Lieutenant General Shinno scurried around with Venus in front of him, and the fire in his heart was also ignited.
