Chapter 366: Yamamoto's Worries

July 13, 1941, Yangcheng, the headquarters of the South China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army

"Yamamoto-kun, you can withdraw the paratrooper troops, and if you continue, I'm afraid the Britons will be scared to death." The person who spoke was Lu Xiang Tojo, in fact, Yamamoto Kazuki's actions were carried out all day on the 12th under the nose of this man, especially the final paratrooper assault, which was simply the addition of this land minister, otherwise it would not be the paratroopers of Yamamoto Kazuki's ironstone troops, these so-called paratroopers who were only trained on the parachute tower were really not even comparable to the Japanese paratroopers with low combat effectiveness.

"Your Excellency, it will take a little time, they have captured too many British troops and captured a huge amount of supplies, and they all have to be disposed of." Yamamoto Kazuki said with a wry smile on his face, he himself did not expect that the iron and stone troops of more than 1,000 people would actually capture tens of thousands of British troops and seize tens of thousands of tons of materials, including millions of pounds worth of goods that they had looted in Lashio.

"Let the prisoners go directly, as for the supplies, they can be sent to the 74th Army, in exchange for the right to use the field airfield in their hands, just pick up the people quickly." The old devil Tojo naturally wouldn't be so kind, he wanted to use this batch of materials that could not be taken away at all to create contradictions between the British and the Nationalist government, you must know that less than 2,000 tons of these materials belonged to China, and the vast majority of them belonged to the British government and overseas Chinese.

As for those prisoners, Tojo believed that if he could capture the other side once, he could capture the other side again, and this would not only not improve the combat effectiveness of the Britons, but also gain the favor of the indigenous troops, and once there was a real large-scale attack on Burma in the future, there would only be more indigenous troops who surrendered at that time.

"Hayi, I'll arrange it." After saying that, Yamamoto Kazuki was about to leave.

"Let the people down there take care of it, Yamamoto, this time, you're great!" The old devil of Tojo looked at the Yamamoto Kazuki in front of him with admiration, the problem that the South China Dispatch Army could not solve in a few years, Yamamoto Kazuki solved it in one day, and the British, who were feared by the navy, were also vulnerable in front of Yamamoto Kazuki, and even did not dispatch the main force of Yamamoto's troops, only a thousand iron and stone troops captured tens of thousands of Britons, if it were not for the government not wanting to turn against the Britons immediately, this thousand iron and stone troops are estimated to be able to sweep through northern Burma.

"Your Excellency, this is what I should do, Yamamoto's troops will always be the sharpest sword in the empire." Kazuki Yamamoto said very solemnly, in fact, he felt that the whole thing was very unchallenging at this time, and what he paid before and after was only a death squad composed of hundreds of disabled soldiers, yes, those who drove gliders to carry out suicide attacks were all disabled soldiers of the First Army, which was equivalent to him squeezing these soldiers again, and the price he paid was only a promise to give their families a meager pension.

"Yamamoto, do you think we should go south or north now?" Tojo looked at Yamamoto Kazuki, who was still not arrogant, his eyes were full of appreciation, don't look at the history of this old devil who promoted the launch of the Pacific War, but in fact, he was also one of the formulators of the northbound policy, and even several conflicts with the alliance were directly promoted by him.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, whether we go south or north, we must withdraw from the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible." Yamamoto Kazuki hesitated for a moment, but still said what he thought in his heart, compared to the huge benefits that can be obtained by going south and going north, it is very unwise to continue to consume troops and resources on the battlefield in China, and with the troops and resources consumed in China every year, they can obtain greater benefits.

What's more, today's Huaxia is not the same as before, after receiving large-scale assistance from the West, Huaxia already has the same strength as the Japanese army, and in many battlefields, the Huaxia army has achieved overtaking.

"Pull out? It's easier said than done, we are now immortal, and only the fall of one of us can end this war. Tojo Hideki's sharp eyes instantly emptied, since the death of Okamura Ninji, the Japanese army has begun to waver, even if the war is expanding in the past, they all think that as long as they persevere, they can achieve victory, but the Battle of Beiping completely woke them up.

But the problem is that no one dares to take this step, because once they withdraw from Huaxia, it means that they admit defeat, which means that their previous sacrifices and investments are meaningless, not only the army will not agree, but even the people will not agree, he dares to compromise with Huaxia today, and tomorrow those young Zhuang officers will dare to hang him at the gate of the palace.

"Didn't Ishihara's predecessors have successfully withdrawn from Hubei Province? Isn't His Majesty already acquiescing? "Yamamoto Kazuki and Shinozuka Yoshio both thought that Ishihara Waner would definitely be used as a scapegoat this time, but the actual situation was that after retreating from Hubei Province, Ishihara Waner not only did not receive any punishment but also gained greater authority, and he got five Wanwan divisions at once, as if he had become a big man.

"It's different, the pot in Hubei Province is carried by Anan Weiji, no one thinks that Shi Yuan has much responsibility, and His Majesty and I want to compensate him, otherwise do you think he can continue to be the commander of the Eleventh Army?" The old devil of Tojo shook his head gently, he and Ishihara Wan'er can write a copy of the entanglement, although it is true that the two are hostile to each other and do not deal with each other, plus the holy family of the locust, this is the turning of Ishihara Wan'er, but this cannot be replicated.

"Your Excellency, someone will always come out to take on this responsibility, even if it is broken bones, to save the empire." Kazuki Yamamoto asked very earnestly, they don't have much capital in their hands, so they naturally want to bet their capital on the table with the highest winning rate, and they don't have the strength to engage in hedging operations.

"It's not time yet, perhaps, when the Empire will win more brilliant victories, we might have a chance, right?" The old devil Tojo shook his head slightly, but his thoughts had already been cast to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and at this moment he was already thinking about the adventure plan proposed by Yamamoto Fifty-six, maybe he could let Yamamoto this guy join here, compared to the tenacious navy red deer, Yamamoto Kazuki may be able to surprise himself.

"Your Excellency, Yamamoto is willing to help you achieve greater victories!" Yamamoto Kazuki also understood what the old devil Tojo meant, and it seems that even the leading figures of the army hawks do not dare to easily provoke public opinion and the voice of the military.

I just don't know if this person will make a wrong assessment again after the brilliant victory.
