The Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, from the Chief of the General Staff of the Base Camp and the Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Campaign, Prince Zaihito, was shocked and angry by this cold order, and calmed down, he did not believe that Prince Zaihito, who could fight with His Excellency Koichi Yonechi and at the top of the Imperial Military Circle, would kill people with a knife in such a blatant manner, it was too embarrassing!

Since it wasn't a knife to kill someone, what was Prince Jaehion's purpose? In the same way, Prince Jaehito, who is known for his wisdom, will not do useless work!

General Minamijiro's thinking, lightning shuttled in his mind, looking at the entire Far East battlefield, thinking of the Far East Dispatch Army, which had already left Manchuria and came to the rescue of the Kwantung Army, and the Korean Zhutun Army troops, after entering the Far East, they mysteriously lost their traces, and then thought of Zhukov's troops, in recent days, there were signs of evacuating from the battlefield, and, the previous order, ordering the Kwantung Army to carry out a counteroffensive, many factors added together, General Minamijiro's eyes gradually brightened up, He seems to have seen through Prince Zairen's clever moves, and he is even more ruthless.

Prince Zaihito wants to encircle Zhukov's Far Eastern Front on the current battlefield, and General Minamijiro has sketched a three-dimensional picture in his mind, plus the Kwantung Army, the Three Route Army of the Great Japanese Empire, will encircle Zhukov's Far Eastern Front in the plain battlefield between the Burea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, then, for the Great Japanese Empire, this is an unprecedented huge victory!

As a result, the Kwantung Army can also take revenge and recover the blood debt of more than a million Kwantung Army soldiers from the hands of the Soviets, if there is no layout of Prince Zaihito, relying on the Kwantung Army's own strength, they can only grit their teeth and watch Zhukov's troops, and after slaughtering the officers and men of the Kwantung Army, they will leave the Far Eastern battlefield safely. Such an opportunity could not be missed by the Kwantung Army.

After calculating these, General Minamijiro began to weigh the pros and cons of the Kwantung Army's participation in this major battle, on the surface, with the current situation of the Kwantung Army, he invested all his troops and took the initiative to attack the Soviet Army, which was almost the same as looking for death, but in fact. Combined with Prince Jaehion's Far East campaign plan, it is not so pessimistic.

The reason why Prince Zairen gave such an order was because he was afraid of Zhukov's troops, so he withdrew from the Far Eastern battlefield ahead of schedule and lost the opportunity and favorable conditions for encirclement. Zhukov could quite well do this, with two more troops. Still desperately on the road. The only ones who can entangle Zhukov's troops are the troops of the Kwantung Army, which are now exhausted, and Prince Zaihito is also helpless, he knows the consequences of doing so.

The attack of the Kwantung Army could not have lasted too long, therefore. It is inevitable that the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean troops stationed in India will be ordered to arrive as quickly as possible, day and night, otherwise. Once the offensive of the Kwantung Army is exhausted, not only will Zhukov's troops withdraw from the Far Eastern battlefield, but the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army will be put into it, and Prince Zairen will still not be able to afford such consequences!

That is to say, the Kwantung Army only needs to maintain an offensive posture for two or three days, which is enough, and General Minamijiro carefully weighed the consequences of doing so, and came to the conclusion that with the existing strength of the Kwantung Army, it is not a problem to maintain an offensive on all fronts for two or three days, of course, after this battle, the remaining Kwantung Army troops may be less than one-fifth of the period of total victory, but big risks also mean big rewards.

Next, what General Minamijiro has to consider is the question of return, if in the Far East, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army will be completely annihilated, and the biggest hero will not be Prince Jaehito who commanded in the center, nor the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army, but the Kwantung Army troops, the price paid in turn, and the length of the bloody battle with the superior Soviet army, that force cannot be compared, whether it is the Emperor Xià or the base camp, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this.

Next, the Kwantung Army's efforts will be rewarded the most, and more importantly, Prince Zaihito not only represents the base camp, but also represents His Majesty the Emperor, if he does not obey the order, Prince Zaihito will have a grandiose reason and excuse to come to find trouble for himself, and it is reasonable to remove the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, so it is even worse, this important position, falling into the hands of Prince Zaihito and his family, is not the biggest blow to His Excellency Mine?

Nanjiro's heart still has a little bit of his own careful thoughts, as the commander of the Imperial Japanese Army, a major general who fought overseas, General Ito Yanzaburo, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Southwest Pacific Dispatch Army, fought well and smoothly, and beat the allies in a state of hard defense, and he was also a general who commanded more than a million imperial troops, is it worse than Ito's guy?

What's more, Ito Yanzaburo belongs to the cadres of Prince Zaihito's lineage, and he can't be compared to him, and the Far East battlefield is by no means the same as the Australian battlefield, once the Kwantung Army plays a key role in the Far East campaign, it can not only take revenge, but also become famous, therefore, General Minamijiro has come to a conclusion that although there are risks in executing orders, there are more benefits!

It's just a short ten minutes, General Minamijiro almost boiled his heart and mind, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow like sharp thinking, when he came to a conclusion, he was quite a little haggard and tired, and for the fate of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro exhausted countless brain cells at the same time, it was the other Kwantung Army generals, when they were about to make a move on Lieutenant General Nino Ryuzhao, there were several officers of the Young Zhuang faction, and most of the command knives had been drawn out of the scabbard.

General Minamijiro's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed, "Hmm-! He was full of coercion, squeezed out a movement from his throat, and waved his right hand hard and shortly, as if it had magical power, and more than a dozen high-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army who were tense and full of murderous aura immediately retreated, full of murderous aura in the headquarters, and disappeared in an instant!

Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno, as if he had walked through the Ghost Gate Pass, his whole body was weak and weak, his face was covered with cold sweat, his throat and eyes were dry, he knew too well that the murderous aura just now was by no means intimidation, these guys in the Kwantung Army really wanted to kill themselves!

The corners of General Minamijiro's mouth were faintly hung with a hint of mockery, looking at the generals who were full of resentment, but absolutely obedient to their orders, nodded with satisfaction, and then, looking at Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, said in a gentle but respectless tone: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you are the representative of Commander-in-Chief Zaihito, and I would like to hear Your Excellency's opinion on this order from His Royal Highness?" ”

Originally, General Minamijiro's words were redundant, as long as he decided by himself, this guy Nino is a fart, but since he decided to carry out Prince Zaihito's order, then, for this insignificant Chief of Staff, it is also appropriate to show some respect, at least on the bright side, no one can find fault, the relationship between superiors and subordinates still has to be paid attention to, and besides, in the heart of General Minamijiro, Prince Zaihito is also extremely dissatisfied.

What is the plan, send me a telegram, explain it, discuss it for a while, don't you have any problems, you can do it, hide it, pretend to be mysterious, for fear that I know, if you can't understand the deep meaning behind the order, and refuse to carry it out, or don't do it with all your might, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the play will not be able to sing, and it will be kept afterwards, and you won't be caught by Prince Zairen at all!

It can be seen that the importance of communication, although we are not donkeys eating grass on the trough, and we can't talk about having a good impression of each other, but after all, we are both soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and we both work for His Majesty the Emperor, so there is a little bit of incense, and it is really unnecessary to make this trick, but it is still enough face for Prince Zaihito, no, ask for the opinion of the Chief of Staff of Shinno!

Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno was stunned suddenly, General Minamijiro's sudden respect obviously caught him unexpectedly, if it had been left more than twenty minutes ago, Lieutenant General Shinno, who had a sense of superiority as a minister, would not hesitate to say, "What opinion, since His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has issued an order, I, as a soldier of the Empire, should carry it out without hesitation!" Even if he died on the battlefield, he sacrificed his life for the Great Japanese Empire, and it was just the duty of an imperial soldier! ”

But the scene that happened just now scared the courage of Lieutenant General Shinno, these generals of the Kwantung Army who were red-eyed on the battlefield really dared to kill themselves, it was not fake, although Nanjiro asked for his opinion, but looking at his appearance of smiling but not smiling, how could he have the slightest respect for himself as the chief of staff of the headquarters, obviously going through the motions, if he didn't know how to be interesting, and sang high-pitched words, maybe that sentence was wrong, and choked the lungs of these fierce generals of the Kwantung Army, when the time comes, no one can save himself!

Lieutenant General Xinye still understands the truth from his mouth, a thousand words, it is better to say nothing, Lieutenant General Xinye took the scale, smiled modestly, and said: "Nan Jijun said that he laughed, Your Excellency is the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and he has the responsibility of full command, I am just responsible for observing the progress of the battle, and I will not interfere in the operational command of the Kwantung Army. ”

Saying this, he didn't leave his hands behind, and he picked himself up cleanly, and General Nanjiro couldn't help but laugh, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder you say, eat a trench and grow wise, it seems that this chief of staff of Shinno, just after eating a scared, quite a little experience!" ”

The words of Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno also made most of the generals of the Kwantung Army who had not yet dissipated their resentment against him stunned, as if they didn't know him, looking at the guy who was still sitting on the stinky shelf of the chief of staff of the headquarters more than 20 minutes ago, and at the same time, he also heard the meaning of Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro, who was going to carry out the plan of that ruthless guy Zairen to kill people with a knife!

It was still the major general of the Kwantung Army who was the first to make a move and kill Lieutenant General Shinno, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, please think twice, this is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Kwantung Army, you can't ...... You can't just go your own way! ”
