Chapter 2118: A Clever Plan to Cut Off One of His Fingers (Part II)
Prince Zaihito, the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army's base camp, and the Minister of War General Mitsuichi Michiichi, who was completely decently and disgraced, will not accept defeat lightly, and lose face, only if he gets it back on the spot, he won't believe it, Zairen, this bastard, every sentence is without loopholes, impeccable, as the saying goes, "If you say too much, you will lose!" "Michichi Mineichi is waiting for a loophole in Prince Zaihito's Far East battle plan.
Sure enough, let him be caught, Michichi Koichi was not overwhelmed by the frenzied atmosphere and stormy applause around him, he read Zae-in's words from beginning to end in his mind, determined the focus of a counterattack, and ignored the reactions of the other two fronts of the Soviet army, which was Jae-in's fatal loophole.
Michiko looked at him or two, and there was a fierce cold, he decided to give it a go, not only a matter of face, the wrestling with Zaihito has risen to the power struggle, involving the issue of the right to speak in the military, especially within the Imperial Army, but Miuchi Koichi still underestimated Prince Zaihito's eloquence and incitement, and the Japanese civil and military ministers who participated in the Imperial Military Conference have been impressed by Prince Zaihito, and the people's hearts are not on his side!
At this point, Japan's civil and military ministers also understood Koichi Yoneichi's little trick, simply put, it was to preserve strength, and to put it more broadly, it was because the Soviets broke their courage, feared the enemy like a tiger, and did not have the momentum of the imperial soldiers who looked at death as if they were at home and were indomitable, and did not think about how to reverse the passive situation of the Kwantung Army, blindly wanted to avoid war, and pushed the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army to the forefront, blocking the bullets of the Soviets for the Kwantung Army.
Everyone turned their disdainful gazes to General Mitsuri Yonechi, and Hikaru Yonechi's face was like an ancient well, and he was not moved by these complicated gazes at all, and slowly got up. Several young Zhuang officers behind him wanted to come to help, but they were forced to retreat by his cold eyes.
Mitsuru Mineichi walked calmly in front of Emperor Hirohito, bowed deeply, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, all of them attracted their attention, I don't know what kind of ability General Minei has to fight back after becoming a defeated rooster, but I admire his courage. Prince Zairen's gaze stared at him gloomily, frowning slightly, and secretly guessing, "This old guy." Jumping out again, why? ”
But. There is one thing that Prince Zairen knows very well. Mitsuichi Mine would never come to sing praises to himself, it's certain to find faults, and he definitely won't fart well, and it's unrealistic to say that this old guy will be completely defeated just at a military meeting in front of the Emperor. Otherwise, Michichi Yonechi would not have become, for many years, one of the two giants of the military standing side by side with him. Prince Jaehito's brain was running at high speed, and he was alert to a great enemy, ready to fight back at any time.
After bowing, Mitsuichi Yonechi said slowly to Emperor Hirohito: "Your Majesty, after listening to Prince Zaihito's statement, the minister realized how unrealistic and short-sighted his words just now were. ”
As soon as Mitsuichi said, his voice choked up, old tears were criss, and he looked heartbroken, which made Emperor Hirohito's heart ache, and his nose was sour, "After all, he is an old courtier for many years, and he has no merit and hard work, before Zaihito grew up, Mitsuichi Yonechi was one of the ministers he relied on the most, perhaps, I have snubbed him a little recently!" Jae-in has gone a little too far! Hirohito thought to himself, feeling a little remorseful.
This feeling is reflected in the words, "Minai Aiqing, who can be a sage without fault, I have said, today's military meeting, speak freely, is the speaker innocent, all the qiē, I have taken care of it, Aiqing does not have to be too harsh on himself!" Emperor Hirohito's eyes showed a rare warmth, "Come on, add a cushion to Aiqing Minai's seat!" He turned to the guard officer.
A warm scene of monarchs and ministers supporting each other and being polite touched all the important Japanese civil and military ministers, and many people shed tears of excitement, which seemed to dilute the contempt and disgust for Mionei Koichi just now, Prince Zaihito's heartstrings, but he tightened it tighter, and scolded in his heart, "This cunning old guy deliberately showed weakness, not only won the sympathy of the emperor's brother, but also earned the tears of all the ministers, it's not simple!" ”
Michichi Yonechi was even more grateful, wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty's love for the minister, the five inner burns that make the minister grateful, although the minister is not talented, but he also wants to do his best for the great achievements of the Japanese Empire and the grand wish of the Great East Asia Co-prosperity Circle. ”
Emperor Hirohito was still immersed in the emotion just now, and hurriedly said: "Minai Aiqing, if you have anything to say, although it doesn't hurt to speak out, I have already said it, military meeting, speak freely, say everything, you are the Minister of War, and you should have your own opinions!" ”
Mitsuru Yonechi bowed repeatedly, and then, straightened his waist, changed his posture of lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, his eyes suddenly cold, looked at Prince Zairen, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Your Royal Highness, what you just said is indeed the best plan to solve the war situation in the Far East, which is enough to reflect the eloquence and grandeur of His Royal Highness, the Imperial Army of Japan, with a chief of general staff like you, is a blessing for the empire and a soldier of the imperial army!" ”
Of course Prince Zaihito won't, he was greatly praised by Mionei Koichi, and he was confused, he knew very well that the next words would definitely not sound good, but Zairen was also a very deep city government and a scheming master, so he made up his mind, first quietly, to see what kind of fart Mionei Koichi released, and then, and then-for-tat counterattack, smiled slightly, and seemed to be very modest to accept a few bowls of rice soup from Mionei Koichi.
Seeing that Prince Zaihito did not accept the move, Michichi Minai also had a headache, and there was a feeling of slippery and unkept, but the counterattack had been launched, and the arrow had to be sent on the string, at this time, the momentum could not be discharged, "The plan for the Far East war situation can be described as seamless, if the progress goes smoothly, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front will definitely not be able to escape, as His Royal Highness the Prince said, it can be for the Great Japanese Empire, and there will be no future troubles!" ”
But......! Speaking of this, Mitsuichi Minai deliberately paused, and as soon as the words changed, Prince Zaihito's muscles tightened, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, it's here!" "It was like a fighting, and the hair all over his body exploded.
Michichi continued: "However, Your Royal Highness, you seem to have overlooked one of the most important issues, and this neglect is enough to lead the more than one million soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire to fall into a dangerous situation again. ”
"If this is the case, the strength of the Imperial Army in the Far East is far from being at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not fall into the counter-encirclement of the Soviet Army like the Kwantung Army, and the last elite military strength of the empire will be exhausted in the Far East, therefore, His Royal Highness's plan is unrealistic and ambitious, I still ask His Royal Highness the Prince to think carefully again, and not to highlight his military command ability under the pretext of the interests of the empire, and do things that harm the Japanese Empire!"
The fighting method of the two giants of the Japanese military is indeed wonderful, the two sides are arguing with each other, you come and go, Koichi Mineuchi, who has been suppressed by Prince Zaihito in all directions, came to a Jedi counterattack, pointing out the biggest and most fatal mistake in Zairen's Far East battle plan,
Emperor Hirohito and a group of Japanese civil and military ministers, hearing the words of Mionei Koichi, were all stunned, as if they had just woken up from a big dream, before, they were impressed by Zaihito's convincing analysis and judgment, as well as the bold plan, ignoring the great danger contained in it, yes, the two Soviet fronts of more than 2 million troops, have not withdrawn too far, will not sit idly by Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, surrounded by the Imperial Army, this is common sense!
Once more than 2 million Soviet troops counterattacked, the last mobile military force of the Great Japanese Empire would have to be folded into the hands of the Soviets, and Zairen's Far East operation plan, which seemed to be 100% sure, actually had such a big loophole, in retrospect, it could not help but frighten people into a cold sweat, huge gains, often accompanied by huge risks, could not solve the problem of the Soviet army's return of reinforcements, Zairen's Far East operation plan was just a piece of paper full of adventure.
How to fix it? The safest way is to send troops equal to the strength of the Soviet army, even if it is slightly smaller, to fight to block the attack, so as to ensure that the Imperial Army encircling Zhukov's troops has enough time to resolve the battle, but the strength of the empire has been used to the limit, and nearly two million troops can be cobbled together from there to fight the blockage.
After Mitsuichi Michichi threw out this counterattack, he didn't say anything more, the problem has been laid out, and the rest is the matter of His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers' own judgment, if it is verbose, it is not beautiful, Mitsuichi Yonechi is very sure, this problem, Zairen can not avoid, let alone quibble, attack one point, he completely negates Zairen's Far East battle plan, Michichi Yonechi can be called an old spicy!
Doubt, shock, confusion and other indescribable eyes were cast on Prince Zaihito, and Emperor Hirohito's face sank, and his voice was dry and asked with dissatisfaction: "Zaihito, did you hear the words of Minai Aiqing, the Soviet army returned to help, how do you respond?" ”
Prince Zairen didn't panic at all, on the contrary, he was greatly relieved in his heart, and a hint of mocking joke appeared on his face, "Michiki Minai, this old guy, held back for a long time, and then released this weightless fart, which made me nervous for a long time, it's boring!" He thought with a snicker.
Faced with the interrogation of his emperor's elder brother, Zairen replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, don't be surprised, Minai-kun's kindness and attitude of thinking about my Imperial Japanese Army are greatly admired by my ministers, but Minai-kun's worries, my brother can guarantee that it will never happen!" ”
