The donkey under the slope is in need of conditions, it is best to do it without revealing traces, the person who gets off the donkey is a matter of course, and the person who gives the steps is exquisite, both are indispensable, Zairen just put the words too full, it is not easy to end, the words of this senior staff officer named Yamada are still almost hot, hard, and there is a suspicion of contrived!

Prince Zairen shook his head, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Yamada-kun, your words have a way, but, precisely because I am the commander-in-chief of the forces in the Far East of the empire, I should go to the fiercest and most brutal place to command, and I should be with me as a soldier, thank you Yamada-kun for your construction!" His eyes looked at the dozen or so senior generals with different expressions, and said lightly: "Gentlemen, go and prepare, we should all have this courage!" ”

The faces of the high-ranking officers of the Japanese army became extremely difficult to look at, the generals of the Japanese Empire were not afraid of death and dared to face death, but they knew that if they were sent to death, there would be moths throwing themselves into the fire, it would not be brave and meaningless, but extremely stupid!

Senior Staff Officer Major General Yamada, but not in a hurry or annoyed, has been in the imperial military circles for many years, although he has not held a substantive commander's position, and he is more than half a hundred years old before mixing with the rank of major general, but he has seen the world very thoroughly, just now, from the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, he captured a trace of change and intention, and the content contained in it could not be hidden from his eyes.

His Royal Highness's actions are more of an attitude, "I don't believe it, he's not afraid of death?" What about the crooks? "Of course, I don't have to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince who is a thin donkey to pull hard to die, how to say it, it is also worth it, Yamada secretly slandered in his heart, giving a step down is the most important thing at the moment. It depends on whether this step is suitable or not, which is very exquisite!

Senior Staff Officer Yamada, with heavy steps, just like an execution ground, to go to the most external colleagues, gestured, turned his face to Prince Zairen and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it will take more than a day for the headquarters to move forward to where the Kwantung Army Headquarters is located, and. The road conditions along the way were very bad, and the radio signal was greatly affected, in case during this period, the two units of the Reich responsible for encircling the Soviet army had something important to report. Isn't it a delay in military aircraft! ”

Prince Jaehito, who pretended to be going out too, stopped. "That's a tough problem to solve." Yamada-kun, do you have any good building yì? ”

Major General Yamada said confidently: "The Far Eastern Campaign Command is close to the front line command, who is very necessary, but there is no need for His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to go in person, after all. There is also the overall command, which requires you, and if His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is not at ease, the department can lead a capable staff team. Rushing to the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army on your behalf, is that good? ”

Zairen's heart was greatly relieved, and he couldn't wait to hug Yamada's wrinkled old face and kiss him fiercely, "What an empathetic old guy, if you can not die this time, you must be promoted, your hair is half white, and you are still a major general, how can this be done, bury talents!" It is naturally a joy to have someone to replace you and go to the battlefield of nine deaths and one life! He thought to himself.

"In that case, then there is Lao Yamada-kun, you can issue any order to the Kwantung Army on my behalf, but you must notify it to the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign in advance, and only after approval can it be executed!" Prince Zaihito said solemnly and gave a great power to Major General Yamada, but the final decision is still firmly in his own hands.

The other dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army all looked at Major General Matsuda with pity, and felt sorry for him in their hearts, "You said that you, you are a lot old, what can you do?" I also want to go to the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army instead of His Royal Highness the Prince, this is good, put myself in, we can't do anything, Yamada-kun, ask for more blessings! ”

The reactions of Prince Zaehito and more than a dozen high-ranking generals were all in Yamada's eyes, and he secretly sneered in his heart, "A group of fools, guys who are wise enough to protect themselves, am I impatient to live?" Going to wade into the troubled waters of the Kwantung Army? Shallow knowledge! ”

Major General Yamada replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the headquarters will be ready to set off immediately, and all the circumstances will be reported to the campaign headquarters in time!" ”

A cadre of senior generals of the Japanese army, all came over to shake hands, quite a little sorry for the sense of separation, this to go to the yin and yang of the sad feeling, Major General Yamada is also enough, thought about it, as if thoughtful said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the department suddenly thought of a very critical issue, previously, the chief of staff of the Far East Campaign General Headquarters, Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, has been at the Kwantung Army General Headquarters, on behalf of you, to assist General Minamijiro in command!" ”

"So, I'm going, is it a little redundant, with Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro, Chief of Staff Ryuaki Shinno, how to arrange command authority, if you have the right to order, one army and three commanders, order out of many doors, not only restrain each other, but also make the generals below be at a loss, so that the fighters will be delayed, therefore, the department thinks that it is better for us to meddle in the command of the Kwantung Army, even Chief of Staff Ryuaki Shinno, and do not interfere excessively!"

At this point, Prince Zairen completely understood the real intentions of this old guy with walnut lines on his face, and even he couldn't help but praise secretly, "Clever!" "Even if you give yourself a beautiful step, Yamada himself doesn't have to go to a dangerous place, killing two birds with one stone!

"What a slippery old fellow, fortunately not enough to threaten himself, otherwise, be careful of this person, but he is a talent!" Prince Zairen secretly thought to himself, "Listening to Yamada-kun's words, the golden jade words made me suddenly, but this commander-in-chief was too careless and did not take into account the overall situation, which is Zairen's mistake!" I hope that in the future, all of you will be like Yamada-kun and bluntly point out the mistakes of this commander, and Jaehito will be grateful! He first reviewed it for himself and modestly stated his position.

Zairen has been in a high position for a long time, and he can still hold it, hey, those dozen or so senior generals of the Japanese army, their eyes are about to fall to the ground, and the eyes that look at Yamada are not the same, the five bodies of admiration are thrown to the ground, look at Yamada-kun, what he said, he is really fucking clever, worthy of being in the imperial military circles, the old fritters who have been mixed for decades have become fine!

More than a dozen high-ranking officers of the Japanese army were still immersed in Yamada's performance just now, "Gentlemen, the Great War is about to start, and the General Headquarters cannot do without an organization that coordinates and handles all aspects of the situation!" Prince Jaehion spoke again, this time, throwing a big bomb.

The attention of the dozen or so high-ranking officers of the Japanese army immediately shifted from Yamada to Prince Zaihito's words, "An organization that coordinates all aspects of the situation!" "What does it mean, one of us is going to be the leader, in the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign, senior staff officers above the rank of major general, one by one, each responsible for a mess, the military rank is high, but there is no real power, as the saying goes, "Staff officers don't have a commander, and they don't make a sound!" ”

However, the position of chief of staff, don't worry about it, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, head of the operations department of the base camp, has long occupied it, and he is a hat from the base camp, and he is a confidant of Prince Zairen, and his position is very stable, so what does His Royal Highness mean is to establish a new organization?

More than a dozen senior officers of the Japanese army, their eyes were glowing green, their ears were stunned, and they stared intently at Prince Zaihito, "Staff Officer Shinno has been in the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army for a long time, assisting in the command of the operation against the Soviet Army, and he can't withdraw for a while, and the commander has many feelings unchanged, therefore, I have decided to set up the General Staff Headquarters of the Far East Campaign, which is directly responsible for me. ”

"The duty of the General Staff Headquarters is to assist the commander in commanding the Far East Campaign, and to manage all the senior staff officers of the headquarters in a unified manner, and the head of the headquarters will act as the chief of staff when the chief of staff is not in office, and I will report this appointment to His Majesty the Emperor, okay, you will also support the work of Yamada-kun, go back to your respective posts, Minister Yamada, you must also enter the role immediately, pay attention to the specific situation of the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Residence Army, and in a while, I will listen to the report!"

After Prince Zairen finished his order, he turned around and entered his office, he didn't mention the matter of the Kwantung Army, Yamada also knew why, the senior officers bowed to see each other, Zairen is figure disappeared, these officers who were just colleagues immediately came over enthusiastically, and congratulated one after another, gossiping, saying anything, "Minister Yamada, I will work under your leadership in the future, please take care of me!" ”

"Yamada-kun, if you don't dislike it, tonight, when you get together at my residence, I still have a few bottles of good sake, how about a drunken party?" "Minister Yamada, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief wants to summarize the situation of the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Resident Army. If you can, please sign it yourself, you are the head of the department, and these situations are summarized, of course, you do it yourself! ”

There was a noise, Major General Yamada frowned slightly, smiled calmly, and there was some excitement and panic in his heart that suddenly rose to the top, and he was a little uncomfortable, as well as disgust for these colleagues who were not worthy of him in the past, and now they have this flattering face, and of course, the pleasure brought by power!

Yamada knows very well in his heart that his beautiful steps have been rewarded with great value, His Royal Highness the Prince has reciprocated the favor, the head of the General Staff Headquarters, and seems to be working under the leadership of the Chief of Staff, but at this moment, the Chief of Staff of Nino is not there, so he can act as the Chief of Staff, that is to say, from this moment on, he is the second person in the Far East, the General Headquarters of the Nearly Two Million Imperial Army, and moreover, he is also a person with real power!

From now on, even if you board the chariot of Prince Zaihito's family, how can you get the rank of general when you retire?

Yamada smiled lightly, and gently responded to the compliments of his former colleagues and current subordinates, but the tone of his speech was very different from the past, vaguely with the meaning of the superior, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to celebrate, the Far East war is imminent, and the work is complicated, everyone go back to work!" ”
