Chapter 1990: The Japanese Little Abacus

Emperor Hirohito's Imperial Military Conference, carried out this kind of process, and I can't complain that these bigwigs are not stupid, the situation is clear, Stalin is so aggressive, it is definitely not aimed at the devil Tang Qiuli alone, after killing the troops of the independent division, the next target is the Kwantung Army, no one doubts this.

It was precisely because the situation was very clear that it was difficult to make a decision, and there were only two ways before the Kwantung Army: one was to retreat from the line of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, retreat to Manchuria, spit out the territory of the Soviet Far East that had been swallowed up, including the port of Vladivostok, which threatened Japan's backyard at all times, and return it to the Russians, and then send a special envoy to negotiate with the Russians.

The other way is to fight to the death with the Soviet army in the Far East, swearing to protect the interests that have been reached, and the Japanese Empire has not yet had the habit of spitting out what it eats in its mouth.

As long as it is not Cheng Dù, who has a high fever to the point of confusion, or is so arrogant that he does not know the height of the sky, that person understands what the current situation is, the Kwantung Army can only stalemate in the face of the 2 million troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, but cannot break the defense line of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, otherwise, with the courage and good fighting of the Kwantung Army, it will not be on the front line of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, grinding with the Russians for more than two years.

The first way, which can be said to be the safest way at present, Japan has nothing to lose, and what it has given up is only the land that was snatched from the Russians, but this means that under Stalin's tremendous military pressure, the Japanese Empire was timid, retreated, and feared the Russians.

The person who first proposed this construction will definitely become the finger of the thousand people. Spurned by the fanatical people, drowned by public opinion, a big hat of "coward" will definitely not be able to run, in case in order to calm the boiling public opinion in the country, His Majesty the Emperor will use his own head again to thank the people, then the death will be even more wrongful!

The second way can make a good name, but at the cost of more than 1.5 million Kwantung Army and more than 4 million troops transferred from the direction of the Soviet Union in Europe. Coupled with the more than 1.5 million troops of Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, which together reach a huge military strength of nearly 6 million people, the Soviets can drown 1.5 million Kwantung Army soldiers even if they do not fight. And after the defeat of the Kwantung Army or the annihilation of the whole army, what will happen to Manchuria?

Don't forget. There is also the number one general under the devil Tang Qiuli. The 500,000 or 600,000 horses commanded by Liu Tiehan, commander of the East Command of the Independent Division, were eyeing the West Liaoning, and the Kwantung Army was heavily damaged by the Soviet Army, which was exactly in line with the mind of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China.

If the Kwantung Army were to defeat the Far East, it would not only lose the Far East. There was also Manchuria, and at that time, His Majesty the Emperor held accountable the loss of the city and land, and the loss of troops and generals, and the people who tried their best to fight the main battle. Surely the first to suffer.

With His Majesty's ruthless style and gloomy personality with some nervousness, can you have good fruit to eat?

This is a dilemma, those who propose to withdraw troops from the Far East and make peace with the Soviets will be branded as "cowards" and "traitors", and the end will not be much better, and those who propose to fight to the death with nearly 6 million Soviet troops in the Far East will not be able to please the Kwantung Army on the day they are defeated, that is, when they are unlucky, they will not be able to please them.

Emperor Hirohito himself sang a one-man show, chattering for more than three hours, until his mouth was dry, his throat was smoking, and he was helpless, and the military and political officials below were like bodhisattvas in the temple, bowing their eyebrows and listening attentively, putting on a pious attitude of listening to the teachings of His Majesty the Emperor, that is, they did not say a word, and they did not even echo the voice and hold their stinky feet.

Even the army and navy generals, who have always been at odds with each other and fight at meetings, are unprecedentedly not red-eyed, they choke on fire when they come up, and they can make noise over big and small things, and they are surprisingly quiet, and they no longer look at each other unpleasantly.

Emperor Hirohito was angry for a while, and these dignitaries, as if they were talkative, rushed to say one by one, for fear that they would not show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese Empire, what is wrong with this today, are they all dumb?

Emperor Hirohito had a gloomy face, his eyes glanced around coldly, and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, who has good Jianyì and Tiaochen, even if you say it in front of me, at this moment when the interests of the Great Japanese Empire are at stake, you Aiqing want to share my worries!" ”

The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minami Jiro, was the first time to participate in such a high-level imperial military conference, originally, he was the first to bear the brunt, and the four million Soviet troops were coming towards his own Kwantung Army, so he should have made a statement, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he did not know anything to say to His Majesty the Emperor.

It is absolutely impossible to cede the territory of the Far East, even if the bigwig here proposes such a proposal, he will jump out and oppose it, is it easy for himself, commanding the troops of the Kwantung Army, and fighting bloody battles with the Soviet army, only today's situation is possible, and it is the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who exchanged their lives for it.

However, if you want to say that there is a big fight with the Soviet army, Minamijiro does not have the courage, the reinforcements of the Soviet army, even if a million people come, the Kwantung Army also has the courage and strength, and the Soviet army will fight to the death, but it is four million Soviet troops who come, plus Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops, the ratio of strength is six to one, how to fight this battle, not counting the difference in heavy equipment.

Even if the Kwantung Army is the flower of the Great Japanese Army, brave and good at fighting, the spirit of bushido is not afraid of death, and General Minamijiro's command of the battle has reached the level of perfection, but in the face of the absolute superiority of the Soviet Army, General Minamijiro is also secretly afraid, and has to weigh the comparison of strengths, and he can't afford to think hard at all.

Now, after listening to the words of His Majesty the Emperor from the bottom of his heart, General Nanjiro felt that the cells in his body were beating, full of blood, and the "whew" surged to his face, and a brave spirit spontaneously came to his heart, and it was the responsibility and sacred mission of every soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army to share worries for His Majesty the Emperor, not to mention, the decisive battlefield was in his own theater of operations, if he didn't speak again, he would be sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, and it would be his own shame, even if the entire Kwantung Army was broken, he would have to fight to the death with the Soviet Army.

Thinking of this, Minamijiro was going to stand up and state his opinion, of course, he was the main fighter, and before he could stand up, he was hit with a heavy kick on his left calf, he looked sideways in surprise, next to the Minister of War General Michiichi Koichi, who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips expressionlessly, and there was no fluctuation on his face, but Nanjiro knew that the one who kicked himself must be the number one man in the army.

This kick, like a needle, pierced on the bulging balloon, General Minamijiro's full of blood, suddenly poured out, and his hot mind instantly dropped to the freezing point, he was secretly afraid of his actions, so dangerous, almost made a bird.

Just imagine, which bigwig here is not more powerful than himself, not more experienced than himself, they would not think of this? Definitely not, the water is very deep!

He is not in the center of power, he doesn't know the intricate relationships in it, and he doesn't know the depth of the water, so he dares to plunge into it, and he will choke on a few mouthfuls of water if he doesn't drown, General Minamijiro secretly thought to himself in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but thank Koichi Yonechi for this crucial kick, which was equivalent to saving his life.

The atmosphere of the meeting was frozen and embarrassing, others could make clay carvings and wood sculptures, and Prince Zaihito, the chief of the general staff of the base camp, could not continue to be silent, because the eyes of his emperor's elder brother were already staring at him, and if he didn't speak, he might not be able to hide.

With Prince Zairen's cunning and cunning, of course he knows why these civil and military ministers, who usually talk like talkers, are silent, in fact, they are also very embarrassed, but it is definitely not okay not to speak.

Prince Zaihito slowly stood up, looked at Emperor Hirohito, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, Emperor, the situation in the Far East is very clear, Stalin took out more than 4 million troops to eliminate all the factors that threaten the eastern territory of the Soviet Union in one fell swoop, that is to say, the troops of the Devil Tang Qiuli in the Outer Mongolia region, and our troops in the Kwantung Army on the front line of the Outer Khingan Mountains, will inevitably become the target of the Soviets. ”

Prince Zairen did have two shots, this was said thoroughly, to the point, but it was no different from nonsense, the big guy here was not full of mush, and he could still see the situation in the Far East, His Majesty the Emperor was the solution to the problem, not an analysis of the situation.

Prince Zairen also felt the impatience and disdain of the bigwigs, but he was not in a hurry, but continued: "Gentlemen, in the face of the pressure of the Soviet army, it is absolutely difficult to resist with the Kwantung Army alone, the empire has involved too much energy in the Australian battlefield in the southwest Pacific, and it is impossible to draw troops to support the Far East battlefield, from the direction of the Soviet army's assembly, the attack should start from the west of the Ural Mountains, and the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the Outer Mongolia region will bear the brunt of the Soviet army's offensive target. ”

"For the sake of today's plan, the countermeasures of our Great Japanese Empire should be like this, the troops of the Kwantung Army will not move, maintain the status quo, and wait and see the development of the battlefield situation, if Tang Qiuli's troops are quickly defeated by the Soviet army, we will take corresponding countermeasures according to the specific battle situation."

"If the troops of the Devil Tang Qiuli of China have been entangled with the Soviet Army for a long time, we might as well reach a secret agreement with the Soviets or the Devil of China, one of them, when the two sides are exhausted, and then send troops to strive to defeat the other side, and my opinion is inclined to reach a compromise with the Devil Tang Qiuli of the China to jointly deal with the Soviets, the lesser of two evils, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor and the princes think about my Jianyi?"
