Oyama was short and stocky, and one eye was nearly blind due to internal cataracts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf he takes off his army general's uniform, you'll think he's a rich man in the Japanese countryside. But people should not be disguised, and this noble man who was the commander of the Second Army of the Japanese Army was the most famous artillery expert in Japan.

At this time, Oyama Iwa was quietly watching the officers attending the meeting, divided into two factions and engaged in a fierce quarrel.

The officers of the Young Zhuang faction, led by Nogi Noshinori, strongly advocated launching an all-out attack on the 1st Volunteer Brigade stationed at Thirty Mile Fort, pulling out this stinger that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The other faction, led by Genji Yamachi, advocated negotiations with this self-proclaimed Great Song Empire Marine Corps, believing that the intervention of the Crossing Masses in the war was nothing more than fighting for the interests of themselves and the black hands behind them.

"The pistol that was seized a few days ago has been sent back to China. The most authoritative weapons experts of the empire have already judged that this pistol is much more powerful than the so-called automatic pistol invented by the Americans. The metal used and the craftsmanship used are very sophisticated, and it is a technology that has not been seen in Europe or North America at present. Maybe there really is such an island country called the Great Song Dynasty. "As the chief of staff of the 1st Division, Yasumi Ojira's tone is consistent with that of the division commander Motoharu Yamaji.

"A small pistol doesn't mean much, and victory in a war is never achieved by a well-made weapon alone. On the contrary, it was this beautifully made pistol that gave me hope that we would win. To equip the patrolling soldiers with such a well-made pistol, I conclude that their army must be small in number, and that the resources required to make such weapons are too great to be suitable for mass production. Nogi Noshinori made a conceited judgment.

Nogi Noshinori still insisted on the view that the number of the First Volunteer Brigade stationed at Thirty Mile Fort would not exceed three thousand. Moreover, he concluded that even if the island country of the Great Song Dynasty really existed, it would be impossible for them to send many troops to reinforce the First Volunteer Brigade in the Liaodong Peninsula.

He believed that with their equipment, the Great Song Empire was unreliable with a standing army of more than 10,000 men. How can an island nation allocate more than 10,000 pieces of equipment to combat vehicles, high-powered artillery, repeating weapons per person, and pistols captured by the Japanese army, such as the M9? Nogi Noshinori thought that even if the British Empire wanted to give 10,000 people to get together, such equipment would be enough. Not to mention a country on an unknown island in the depths of the ocean.

"As long as this force that wants to fish in troubled waters is wiped out in Thirty Mile Fort, we can continue our original battle plan. The so-called Great Song Empire is estimated to have thrown nearly half of their troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. Having defeated this force, it is impossible for them to send more troops. Nogi said.

"It would be better to agree to their conditions, launching a full-scale attack on them would also consume a lot of resources, and it would cost the lives of many Imperial soldiers. It is obviously more efficient to trade some benefits for victory. "Genji Yamachi's idea is reasonable, but he is more like a politician than a soldier.

"What about the dignity of the Great Japanese Empire, and our honor as soldiers? We can no longer compromise with this gang of bandits. Nogi roared loudly.

Nogi Noshinori was later revered as the god of war of the Japanese Army, not all because of his combat command ability. A large part of the reason was that he was a fanatical militarist, who sent his son to the battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War, and finally his own flesh and blood died under the machine guns of Tsarist Russia. After the death of Emperor Meiji, he himself and his wife committed suicide by poisoning.

How could such a fanatical die-hard militarist choose to compromise with the bandits he called vile and vicious who were hiding in Thirty Mile Fort? He felt that only by killing them could he avert the humiliation suffered by the Japanese army, and that compromise was an insult to the Japanese Empire and the Emperor.

"That's enough, Nogi-kun, the mountain-kun is your commander." Dashan Yan's voice stopped the emotional officer.

"Report to the base camp and suggest that the materials requested by the First Volunteer Brigade of the Great Song Royal Navy be delivered." Oyama Rock made a decision.

"Your Excellency, the so-called compensation is nothing short of extortion. We ...... "Nogi Noshinori has to make a final argument."

"Nogi-kun, this war is a war in which we have gambled on the fortunes of our country, and we cannot afford to lose. How many troops do you plan to use to exterminate the First Volunteer Brigade? Do you want to send another division from the country? The end result is how many soldiers' lives, how much supplies do we have to consume, and how much time do we have to lose? Oyama Iwa loudly interrupted Nogi Noshinori's speech.

"Those white skins of Europe are waiting to go to the feast to participate in this feast of dividing up the empire, and if we fight all over our bodies, we will also be put on the table." Dashan Yan clearly knew the true face of those European powers.

The operational intention of the Japanese Second Army was to take the strategic fulcrum of Lushun, and then conquer Weihaiwei to completely solve the trouble of the Beiyang Navy. Then they landed at Dagukou, joined the Japanese First Army that entered from Shanhaiguan, fought a decisive battle with the Qing army in the Zhili Plain, and finally occupied Beiping City.

Although Oyama Iwa also agreed with Nogi Noshinori's analysis of the strength of the First Volunteer Brigade, he had no bottom in his heart about how many Japanese soldiers would be killed or wounded to encircle and annihilate these 3,000 enemy troops.

Previously, the 1st Volunteer Brigade was able to destroy more than 10 times the number of Japanese troops with a small number of troops. If they were to defend and the Japanese army attacked, how many Japanese soldiers would have to be killed or wounded, Dashanyan himself did not dare to estimate.

Artillery, chariots, machine guns, and high-powered mines that had just been used against them were all encountered in the event of a Japanese attack. Their supplies were said to be transported by air using machines such as airplanes, and it was impossible to trap them. Only by exchanging the lives of soldiers for the bullets and shells of the other side can it be possible to destroy them, what a price does this have to be?

It is better to negotiate with them as soon as possible, add this Great Song Empire to the guest list of the feast of the Qing Dynasty, and smoothly let this banquet that Japan blocked the national fortune be held as scheduled.

Blindly confronting the First Volunteer Brigade inevitably dragged the Japanese Second Army into the most passive situation, and was finally roasted by the white-skinned people and put on the table with the Qing Dynasty.

After his last meeting with Zhao Yi, Koike Shunichi returned to Hanazonakou as he wished, doing some work to connect with the native Japanese Chinese families so that in the near future, these families could redeem their captured children.

When he heard that the patrol sent by Nogi Noshinori had been ambushed by a series of ambushes on Golden State Avenue, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was far from the front line. Are these bigwigs of the Second Army stupid, why are you going to provoke this group of crazy people, now half of the health team of the First Division is gone, and there is not even a single scum left of the mine-sweeping sappers. It is estimated that if the patrol team is sent out again, the soldiers will just hang around outside and come back to make a difference.

Some losses are eaten, so I can only endure them. If you don't have the ability to go out and ask for it, you can only be beaten even worse. They burned a few of your military stations, and then rebuilt them, and you dare to do such a brainless thing as ambushing other people's patrols, now it's okay, and they will give you a more ruthless ambush when you go back. Without even seeing the people on the other side, they folded almost two hundred people, and all of them were technical troops. This gentleman kept complaining about the bigwigs of the Second Army.

Today, the weather was fine, and Koike Shunichi sat on a sunny slope. The winter sun is rare, so he quickly took the time to come out and bask in the sun. While smoking the kind of cigarette that can fill your mouth with shredded tobacco if you are not careful, I think back to the delicious snack I ate during the negotiation that day. Hey, it seems that the food has been bad these days, when will I be able to eat those delicious snacks, Koike Shunichi sighed.

Sometimes, there are things that just can't be stopped, and just as Koike Shunichi sighed sentimentally, the herald conveyed to him the order to report to Commander Oyama Iwa.

What? The bigwigs of the Second Army confessed so quickly? This was Shunichi Koike's first reaction after receiving the order.
