~――~ Chapter 1189 Ito saw the opportunity

Emperor Hirohito naturally has his own unique set of commands on the throne of the king of a country, who can command the arrogant and fierce generals of the Japanese army who are unruly and unruly, and who can incite more than 100 million Japanese people into confusion, forgetting how many catties and taels he has, and clamoring to conquer the whole world.

Hirohito saw something different from this essence of information, this kind of thing relies on understanding, and he is a cunning person himself, plus a little bit of the vision and height of the king of a country, which is not comparable to those experts who bury their heads in the pile of information all day long.

Hirohito almost groaned, he came to a conclusion, "The Americans are absolutely going to join forces with Tang Qiuli," looking at the frightened eyes of Lieutenant General Nakamura Taro, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of the base camp, Hirohito sighed, returned to his normal demeanor, and said: "Nakamura Aiqing, this analysis data of your intelligence bureau is very good and meticulous, and can provide a very valuable reference for the imperial army troops fighting on the front line, but your conclusion is wrong, and the Americans will do whatever it takes, Be sure to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli. ”

Taro Nakamura almost collapsed, "My Emperor Xià, can you not make such a scary move, I thought Your Majesty was going to hang up?" Hearing Hirohito praise the work of his department, Nakamura was overjoyed, and when he heard that the intelligence conclusion that his department was wrong, Nakamura was shocked again, and almost subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being stupid, Weichen doesn't understand?" ”

Hirohito couldn't help but want to scold, "Pig's head!" But he knew that the admittedly frightened lieutenant general in front of him had confused his logical thinking and was in extreme panic, and if he scolded him again, this guy might go back and commit suicide by caesarean section.

Hirohito's face softened more and more, and said: "Nakamura Aiqing, as the head of the intelligence department of the Imperial Army, you know more than anyone else about the commander-in-chief of the US military, MacArthur, with the character of this American, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his own thirty-eight soldiers and bear the blow to the reputation and dignity of the US military to curry favor with the devil Tang Qiuli, what does it mean?" ”

Speaking of which, even if it is an elm pimple head, it is time to open up, Nakamura swallowed a mouthful of spit, bowed deeply, and said in reverence for the gods: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, Weichen is convinced and taught, I will go back immediately and do it again," Hirohito laughed, anyway, it was a very beautiful feeling to be worshiped by his own subordinates.

Hirohito shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, although the conclusion is wrong, but, the other analysis, there is no need to change, you can step back," looking at Nakamura's back, disappearing in front of his eyes, his brows furrowed again.

Like Lieutenant General Taro Nakamura in the clouds, he has an extremely complicated feeling, that is, he has been affirmed by His Majesty, and has made a fatal mistake, he admires Emperor Hirohito's thoughtfulness, and is even more impressed by His Majesty's methods, and can draw astonishing conclusions from it, which is not what ordinary people can do, at least the body of a demigod, he did not see the worried eyes of Emperor Hirohito.

The intelligence bureau of the Japanese General Staff sent a report to the intelligence analysis of the Japanese troops on the front line, and other Japanese commanders may not pay much attention to it, but the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, General Ito Yanzaburo, is absolutely interested, and the stalemate in the Libao area of central Burma has made Ito, who has always hoped for a quick solution to the Burma issue, very uncomfortable.

The troops of the Independent Division neither attacked nor retreated, and always maintained pressure on the Japanese troops on the front line of Mandalay, which was not the problem that worried Ito the most, with the natural barrier of the Libao Grand Canyon, even if the Independent Division wanted to attack, it would pay an unbearable price, and what made Ito most restless was the two main corps of the Independent Division that were slowly pressing into the front line of Mandalay from the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

In spite of Ito's desperate efforts to regain his strength, it would take time, and by early September, the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army would not be able to regain two-thirds of its heyday, and at this rate, it would not be able to surpass its original level in late October, during which time Ito's troops would definitely not be able to withstand a two-sided attack from the troops of the Independent Division.

The dreary front, with a premonition of great danger approaching step by step, kept Japan's sharp sword in Southeast Asia awake all night, pondering and pondering a way to crack it, and there was only one way, to concentrate troops and equipment on the independent divisions approaching from the north and east, break through one way, and then face the other way, but this was a big problem.

Out of the Libao Grand Canyon defense line, take the initiative to attack the independent division troops on the front line of Mogok? Ito didn't think he was crazy, perhaps, Tang Qiu was waiting for himself to leave the dangerous terrain conditions, take the initiative to attack, the two sides competed with patience, the first to stand it, the first to strike, will fall into the trap of the other party.

Deal with the troops of the independent division coming from the east first? Perhaps, this is exactly the result of Tang Qiuli's hope, weakening the defensive force on the front of the Libao Grand Canyon, and the independent division troops on the front line of Mogu took the opportunity to attack, and when the time comes, it will be too late for their own troops to be urgently transferred back, if they are entangled by the independent division troops from the east, it will be a situation of front and rear attack.

It is more likely that the independent division troops from the east are Tang Qiuli's suspicious soldiers, just to weaken the strength of the imperial army's Libao defense line, and better take advantage of the weakness to attack it, this is not good, that is not appropriate, the dilemma situation almost drove Ito crazy, and it is even more difficult to stand still, the independent division troops from the east of the Indochina Peninsula, but the real two corps, in the face of the confrontation, there are hundreds of thousands of people.

This kind of pressure is tangible and heavy, and Ito still has a question, and he still can't understand it, since Tang Qiuli has formed a strategic encirclement of himself from two directions, why not attack immediately? What is he waiting for? What is the bigger conspiracy? Could it be that he was waiting for his own troops to be replenished and to obtain an attempt to destroy more troops of the Imperial Army?

There is a mess in Ito's mind all day long, and there is one thing that he clearly realizes that if he does not break this deadlock, sit back and wait for the independent division troops to complete the strategic deployment, and gradually compress the maneuver space of the imperial army, it is a mortal danger for himself and the Southeast Asian dispatch army, and it is a danger of slowly being suffocated until he dies in pain.

This intelligence analysis of the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of the base camp made Ito's eyes shine, he was especially interested in Tang Qiuli's character analysis, the duel between the bosses has been out of the level of ordinary soldiers fighting face-to-face, it is a contest of wisdom, Ito thinks that his brain is full of water, and there is even a surplus, so he will take a series of actions against Tang Qiuli's character weaknesses.

It can not only break the current deadlock, but also provoke Tang Qiuli, make him make a fatal mistake, and give himself a chance to win, Ito's head is indeed fast enough, and he also has the same worries and worries as Emperor Hirohito, once Tang Qiuli and the Americans reach an agreement, the Americans in the Luzon area will stick a knife in their back.

Thinking about it, Ito broke out in a cold sweat, although Ito scoffed at the combat effectiveness of the US army, but in such a passive situation of two-sided, no, three-sided combat, even if Ito has three heads and six arms, no matter how fierce and brave the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire are, the fate of the Southeast Asian dispatch army is that the whole army will be annihilated, or the entire jade will be broken, and the result will be ugly.

Only by making a surprise move can this pool of solidified water be stirred, Ito ordered the staff officer, "Immediately order the captains of the search brigades of all divisions and regiments to attend an emergency military meeting at the general headquarters," Seeing that the staff officer was a little confused, Ito scolded in a low voice, "Yaga! Don't go yet! The little staff officer flew out as if he was flying, and looked back at His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief a few times.

It's no wonder that he was confused, since the formation of the army sent to Southeast Asia, there has never been a general commander-in-chief, and aside from those generals at the level of division commanders and brigade commanders, he has set a precedent for convening some military meetings between Shaozuo and Zhongzuo, isn't this a mess of the rules? Moreover, who are the infamous rogue troops in the Imperial Army, who are the search teams? Ruffians, villains and murderers.

On the evening of 14 September, in front of the most upscale hotel in downtown Manila, the guards were heavily guarded, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, as if facing a major enemy, and the US military police set up a military restricted area within a radius of 5 kilometers from the hotel.

Unaware of the rich Manila and the prodigal children, as always, came here for recreation, not to mention anything else, just the hot figure of the hotel hostess, the explicit dress, it was a feast for the eyes, but before they could get closer, they were rudely stopped by the US military police, and just about to open their mouths to argue a few words, the butt of the gun came up.

These wealthy and prodigal children who can afford to spend, the ones who are not famous in Manila and can walk sideways, but in the eyes of the US military police, they are still not enough, and they are similar to picking up garbage in the corner, they are nothing more than brightly dressed, which is equivalent to a little more advanced minions, these people feel very good about themselves, and they feel that they are the citizens of Manila, and they realize the gap between themselves and the Americans.

That's the gap between status and identity, it's not something that can be changed with two money, looking at it or a straight military uniform, or a suit and leather shoes, holding a jeweled lady or a celebrity **, swaggering into the Manila Hotel, those blue-eyed, yellow-haired, arrogant Westerners, only swallow saliva.

The reason for turning the Filipinos out is very simple: the commander-in-chief of the US military in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, four-star General MacArthur, is here today to hold a grand welcome reception to welcome the senior generals of various countries who have come to Manila to attend the Supreme Military Conference of the Allied Forces.
