Just when Ouyang Yun decided to take the initiative to attack the 11th Army, Japan, Tokyo and Nagasaki, the Japanese military headquarters and the Combined Fleet Command, led by Seishiro Sakagaki and Toshiichiro Koizumi, the two groups of Japanese were also discussing the next South China War. The initiator of this campaign was Isoroku Yamamoto, but because Japan has always been strong on land and weak on sea, the commander-in-chief was positioned as the current commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata. In Yamamoto's exhortation, the pros and cons of this campaign are already clear. The advantage is that it can not only solve the big problem of the student army at one time, but also occupy Fujian, Yueqiong, and thus open up a new land passage to Chongqing; Yamamoto believed that during the campaign, it was possible for the Central Army and other anti-Japanese forces to take advantage of it and encroach on part of the occupied area. However, when he arrived at the base camp, through the intervention of Japanese Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe, the harm caused by this drawback was minimized, among them, Xue Yuebu took the initiative to evacuate Gao'an, which was the masterpiece of him and his subordinates.

After nearly 10 hours of day and night discussions, the Japanese Army finally drew up an operational plan, in which the Japanese Army will dispatch three fronts and three Marine Aviation Regiments, namely Nishio Toshizo's 2nd Army, Okamura Ninji's 11th Army, and Matsui Ishine's South China Front, the 1st Air Regiment, the 2nd Air Regiment, and the 5th Air Regiment. On the naval side, the Combined Fleet will be divided into four parts, with four aircraft carriers as flagships, and will become the First to Fourth Aircraft Carrier Fleets, and will cooperate with one division of the Marine Corps and the First Guards Division to carry out landing operations from the coasts of Fujian and Guangzhou.

Dispatching so many troops at once is a huge test for the Japanese army's logistics system, and the army is fine, after all, it can collect food on the spot, and in addition, the arsenal located in Nanjing and Shanghai can also solve some of the ammunition problems, but the supply of the navy will be troublesome. The defeat of the Hainan Campaign dealt a heavy blow to the Navy's logistical supply fleet, and then, something that made Yamamoto very faceless happened, and in a hurry, they couldn't find so many supply ships.

For the sake of the supply of the navy alone, a group of devils discussed it for three hours, and Inoue Narumi, who was demoted in the end, came up with a solution, believing that instead of traveling thousands of miles from the base camp to deliver supplies to the navy, it would be better to set up a supply base in Taiwan, first gather the combined fleet to make two trips to Taiwan, and use the fighter planes to help Kobayashi build and stabilize the situation in Taiwan, while carrying a large amount of supplies to Taiwan, and then supplying them from Taiwan.

Since the attack on the "Kaga" in Nagasaki, Yamamoto Isoroku's personality has changed drastically, from "**" to "hawk", and the former navy "**" people have been purged. Inoue Narumi was originally known in Japanese military circles as the "Naval Iron Triangle" along with Yamamoto and Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, but this time they were not spared. Inoue is very flexible, and after discovering that the naval atmosphere has completely changed, he immediately changed his style and began to try to get together with Yamamoto again, and he made this suggestion at this time, so to speak, he was throwing himself into Yamamoto's hands. No, after he made this suggestion, Yamamoto looked at him differently.

The problem of replenishment of the navy has been solved, and the next step is the problem of coordinated land and sea operations. The Japanese navy and army have always been in competition, and the temperament of the top commander of the navy has recently changed drastically, and Sakagaki and other senior army officials originally thought that this matter would take a lot of money, but who knew that Yamamoto was surprisingly cooperative, and actually agreed that this operation would be dominated by the army, and the navy would do its best to cooperate.

The pre-war meeting at the Tokyo base camp went well, but the meeting of the Nagasaki Combined Fleet was a little difficult.

Although Koizumi Tonichiro has won Yamamoto's unreserved trust, his qualifications are too shallow, and he has made a losing move in the Hainan Campaign, so except for the descendants of Yamamoto's lineage, other naval officers are very uninterested in him, and some people even question the legitimacy of Koizumi's status in person. In the end, it was the two newcomers Tsukahara 243 and Arima Masafumi who supported it, and it was only then that the meeting forcibly passed Koizumi's decision.

Koizumi and others were holding a meeting on the "Kaga", and the Nagasaki military port area was already a busy scene, with vehicles carrying all kinds of supplies coming and going, piling up "mountains" one after another on the wharf, and a little farther away in the Combined Fleet camp, a large number of soldiers flocked here to start the pre-departure training - in just a few days, Nagasaki became a war machine and began to run wildly.

During the final mobilization in Japan for the South China Campaign, in Nanjing, the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata invited Wang Zhaoming and began to vaccinate him against the South China Campaign.

"Wang Sang, the empire has decided to eradicate the greatest scourge of the Cadet Army. During this period, because the main force of the empire has to fight in the south, the front line of the occupied area and the national control area can only rely on you. ”

Wang Zhaoming had a hard time during this time. As early as a month ago, Ouyang Yun had a premonition that the Japanese army might "make a big move" against the student army, and deduced that once the Japanese army really did this, many occupied areas would have to rely on the puppet army to maintain, so he gave orders to the fox pupil and the wolf fangs to start punishing traitors in the occupied areas. By the time Wang Zhaoming was summoned by Junliu Hata Junliu, in many places, nearly 100 "well-known" traitors had been beheaded or assassinated by the Xuebing Army, which caused panic in the traitor world, and those big and small traitors asked Wang Zhaoming for help, making him worry about his own safety at the same time. And as long as he thought that he had dealt with Mu Jiandie and Guo Kui, the two persons in charge of the Fox Pupil and Wolf Tooth of the Cadet Army, he couldn't help but feel cold, for fear that a bullet would suddenly pop out and fly towards him - the Japanese wanted to concentrate on solving the Cadet Army, which was naturally a good thing for Wang Zhaoming and his ilk, but when he thought that the city of Nanjing would become the world of the Chinese because of the withdrawal of the Japanese army, and this would definitely facilitate the assassination of the Cadet Army, Wang Zhaoming, who had already developed a sense of fear of his compatriots, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead unconsciously, Wang Zhaoming took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and replied respectfully: "The imperial army has cleared up dissident forces for us, which will definitely speed up the process of reunification of the Republic of China, which is something that Zhaoming cannot ask for." Your Excellency Toshishi Hatata, please rest assured, although the strength of our Central Army is not as strong as that of the Imperial Army, it still retains a certain advantage over the separatist forces in those places. Here, I would like to wish Your Excellency a victorious start, an early breakthrough of the Cadet Army, and a triumphant victory. Your Excellency, will all the imperial troops near the city of Nanjing be mobilized? ”

"Yes!"

"So, what about my garrison?"

The Japanese called protection, but in fact they were surveillance, and arranged a squadron of elite gendarmes around Wang Zhaoming. Wang Zhaoming was originally quite disgusted by this, but listening to what he means now, how much he hopes to be able to keep this military police.

Shunroku Hata obviously heard the meaning of his words, glanced at him, and smiled: "Wang Sang, don't worry, this military police, we will let it continue to protect your safety." Wang Sang, the war is coming, I still have a lot of important affairs to deal with, and the maintenance of the occupied area is entrusted to you! After speaking, the old devil bowed to Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei was flattered, and was pleasantly surprised that the military police squadron that protected him would stay by his side, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite, for the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship, this is what I should do." ”

Shunroku Hata raised his head and glanced at him, and the two of them immediately laughed and said "Ha Lu Ha" -
