Prince Zaihito, who had been silent and quietly watching the changes, couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Hmph, the clumsy method, going around in such a big circle, for this little bit of caution, and offending the people in the navy, it's not worth it, if it's yourself, it's just straightforward, and there is so much less trouble, however, Michikoichi's reply, obviously didn't answer the emperor's words, look at him next, what bad ideas can he come up with?" ”

Sure enough, Emperor Hirohito couldn't help frowning slightly, snorted in his nose, and said in a sinister manner: "Minai Aiqing, according to what you said, the Kwantung Army withdrew to Manchuria and recuperated, what about the Soviet army that was in a hurry to retreat, how should we deal with it, just watch the Soviets take a big advantage and leave calmly, if so, where is the military prestige of the Japanese Empire?" Is there a direct adverse impact on the feelings of the people in China? The blood of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Kwantung Army was shed in vain? ”

"And-" Emperor Hirohito paused, probably feeling that his tone was too gloomy and would damage the image of the King of the Rope Son, so he tried to calm his face as much as possible, but it seemed to be more and more infiltrating, "Also, the Soviets are bound to think that our Great Japanese Empire, in the Far East, has no strength to fight anymore, and even dare not take any action against the Soviet troops who are eager to retreat. How do the people believe in me? Is it because I'm weak? Was the Great Japanese Empire weak? ”

Emperor Hirohito's tone never carried a trace of fire, but the meaning contained in it was as sharp as a knife, like a cannon, and every sentence was a heart-wrenching word, and the ministers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard it, and Mionechi Koichi, who bore the brunt of the attack, couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly bowed deeply. Some of them said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, Weichen's words have not been finished yet, since the Korean Zhutun Army has more than a dozen first-class divisions and more than 500,000 people, such a huge force is obviously a waste of military power to be placed in a corner of the Korean Peninsula!" ”

"Therefore, Wei Chen ti yì, after the Kwantung Army withdrew to Manchuria to recuperate. Half of the Korean garrison army could be divided into the task of occupying the Far East, and the rest of the troops could return to the Korean Peninsula, and the Soviet army was in a hurry to retreat. The Far East we must continue to occupy, otherwise. That branch of the devil Tang Qiuli. He will smell the smell of blood like a hungry wolf, filling the void after the withdrawal of Soviet troops. ”

"This branch devil, on the front line of Chita in the Far East, has deployed nearly a million troops, and what his intentions are, it is self-explanatory. We had to take precautions in advance, as for His Majesty, how the empire should respond to the Soviet army, which was in a hurry to retreat. The minister thought that it was possible to send troops from the Far East that had recently left for the Far East to pursue them, but in terms of combat maneuvers, they must not be too fierce to prevent the Soviet troops from rebounding. ”

"The greatest purpose of the Imperial Army's pursuit of the Soviet Army is to show an attitude, according to the judgment of Weichen, the Soviet Army, which is eager to withdraw to the direction of Europe and deal with the attack of the Germans, will not be too entangled with our pursuing troops, so all the battles of the Imperial Far East Dispatch Army will have gains, nothing more than how much they have gained, if so, then the Far East region will once again be firmly controlled in the hands of the Great Japanese Empire, and the losses of our troops will be minimal, and the Empire will not kill two birds with one stone."

"After the Soviet army has all withdrawn to the European direction, the battle with the Germans will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it will no longer be able to make waves in the Far East, then, the Far East Dispatch Army will become an elite mobile force of the empire, which can be on standby in the Far East, waiting for the opportunity to move, and can compete with the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli in China, and if necessary, can be put into the Australian battlefield to crush the last resistance of the Allies, then the Southwest Pacific Theater, when the empire is completely victorious, is just around the corner!"

After speaking, Michiichi Yonechi bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, "Your Majesty, Wechen's article is all over the state, I am ignorant and shallow, and I have done my duty. Then, Shi Shiran returned to his seat, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations in his feelings.

Regardless of whether Koichi Mineichi's construction is the most practical or not, after all, a whole set of solutions have been proposed, especially in the Far East, not to be too deeply entangled with the Soviets, and if necessary, to put more than 400,000 mobile troops into the construction of the Australian battlefield, which is quite exciting.

The current situation, in fact, is still very clear, if the empire in the Far East, with the Soviet army too deep entanglement, even if the Soviets are eager to get out, with the current half-crippled Kwantung Army, plus all the forces of the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean garrison army, it may not be able to defeat the Soviets to a great extent, even if it takes advantage, the Imperial Army will pay a great price, after all, the Soviet army in the Far East has a strength of more than 4 million people.

And in the Australian battlefield in the southwest Pacific, the situation is very different, the Allies are now struggling to survive, there is no power to fight back, if the Far East sends more than 400,000 troops to the Australian battlefield, it will become the last straw that crushes the Allied forces, the Southwest Pacific War, it is really over soon, and then, the empire can free up nearly two million troops, or go straight to the mainland of the United States, or cross the Ural Mountains, and join the Germans in the central part of the Soviet Union, there are many options, and, Or a choice in favor of the Great Japanese Empire.

In this way, the empire can avoid the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts, and even, from the hands of the devil Tang Qiuli, it is possible to seize Outer Mongolia, and then, but in North China, which is eyeing China, it is not impossible to have another North China incident, and the Japanese civil and military ministers, obviously moved by the prospect described by Mitsuichi Yonechi, first solve the weak enemy, that is, the allies on the Australian battlefield, and then, concentrate forces, or compete with the independent division of the devil Tang Qiuli in the Far East, or the Soviet Union with the Germans, can be left and right.

This Mionei Koichi's article is deeply in line with the gist of the soldiers, there is a little material in his stomach, he is worthy of being a veteran general in the army, and he has his own strategy in his chest, and the previous disdain and contempt have turned into a little admiration, even the generals of the naval system who were eager to devour Mitsumi Minei alive just now have to admire this guy's thinking, no matter what, it is in the interests of the navy to take the Australian battlefield as the key investment direction of the imperial military power.

Now, the generals of the naval system, can't tell whether they love or hate Mione's love for Koichi Yone, in short, it's very complicated, even Emperor Hirohito is quite moved, and Emperor Hirohito thinks deeper, "The Soviet army that is eager to retreat, although it has no intention of fighting, but it is a real hard bone, even if the empire wants to take a bite, it will break a few teeth if it is not good, and the allies on the Australian battlefield, compared to it, are a piece of trembling, oily big fat meat, swallowed in one bite, and can be eaten without teeth!" ”

"You can also concentrate your military forces and make moves in a certain strategic direction!" Emperor Hirohito's eyes were full of brilliance, and unconsciously, his mouth was also grinning, and he had a bit of eyebrows dancing, "This Mionechi Koichi, so he is making a fuss, and his heart is making trouble, and he is going up and down, really!" However, his rules are very pleasing to my heart! Hirohito thought to himself.

Finally smoothed out the chaotic battle situation, and thanks to Koichi Yone's Chen, Emperor Hirohito was very comforted, "At the critical moment, it's still an old minister!" With an approving look, he couldn't help but sweep towards Koichi Mine, who was sitting precariously.

On the surface, Koichi Mine, who did not squint, keenly captured the meaning in the gaze of His Majesty the Emperor, his face was as usual, and he seemed not shocked, but in fact, his stomach had already blossomed, "I didn't waste my scheming in vain, and I begged for a lottery, which not only saved the Kwantung Army, but also made those guys in the navy hate themselves, and they will also press Zairen on their heads!" "To be glad is to be happy! If it weren't for the Imperial Council, Mitsuichi Yonechi would happily sing the tune of his hometown of Kagoshima to express his excitement!

"Uh-huh!" Emperor Hirohito pretended to cough incompretentiously, and his face regained the image of divine majesty, and immediately attracted the attention of all the bigwigs, and the big guys knew that His Majesty the Emperor was about to make a decision, which was nothing more than turning the words of Koichi Rice into the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and becoming the program of action of the entire Japanese Empire.

Emperor Hirohito did intend to do this, but when he was about to open his mouth to make an announcement, the corner of his eye suddenly saw Prince Zaihito, and his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "The military meeting in front of the emperor has been held for two or three hours, why does his imperial brother always say nothing, although he is usually this suspicious, not yin or yang, but today is a matter involving the strategic direction of the empire, he doesn't say a word, it's not normal!" ”

Hirohito knows his brother very well, he has a ghost idea, and he blinks his eyes, it is a few ways, not to mention, as the chief of staff of the base camp, if he doesn't say a word, it will inevitably be out of standard, let Mitsuru Minei overshadow the limelight, wouldn't it be a loss of face for me, "Okay, just give him a chance, maybe, his scheming brother can have a more clever idea than Michi Koichi!" ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito swallowed back the words that came to his lips, looked at Prince Zaihito, took out the face of the emperor's elder brother, and said in a reproachful tone: "Zaihito, I see that you have never said a word, as the chief of the general staff of the base camp, on the big issue of determining the strategic direction of the empire, you can't do without your own opinions, what is the good way to say, even if you say it, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, I will take care of it!" Usually, your strip Chen, I have seen it all over the place! ”

Emperor Hirohito's words are clearly to blame Prince Zaihito, at the critical moment, he has no idea at all, in fact, he is encouraging Zaihito, even if you say anything, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong, my brother will carry it for you.

Michichi Mineichi, who originally thought that he had a chance to win, "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly shouted: "It's going to be a bad thing!" ”
