Chapter 279

Japanese version of "Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall" (II)

During this period, the whole of Japan was reflecting. Not only was the navy that was furious and busy transforming the air defense firepower of the warships, but they also had to prepare local air defense alerts. If they threw bombs into the palace at midnight, they could all die...

Another group of people was from the Army. Hearing that the navy had suffered another defeat, and even the losses were unprecedented. In addition to making a lot of people in China cry and angry, these guys were happy to watch the fun. But it was not easy to talk nonsense in front of others. On this day, Yoshisuke Ayukawa, president of Nissan Heavy Industry, who was planning for commercial expansion, came forward and invited a large group of people to build a new izakaya. On the surface, it was a celebration of the "Manchukuo" that finally received the tacit approval from the Republic of China government. In secret, Ayukawa wanted to figure out several other important issues.

This time, it can be said that it is a gathering of the core cores of the Japanese Army's young army. The core figures of the "September 18th" incident, Tojo Hideki, Tohihara Kenji, Ishihara Kanir, Itagaki Seishiro, Manchukuo Naoki, Manchukuo Railway Chief Yoeuki, Matsuoka Chief Yoeuki, Deputy Minister of Industry and Deputy Minister of General Affairs Kishi Nosuke, and Kawamoto Master have all arrived. The degree of neatness has been extremely rare in several years.

There were more than a dozen colonels and major generals standing in rows, and everyone sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, listening to the samadhi strings behind the screen playing the resentful door, savoring the mellow sake, and the atmosphere was indescribable.

Although most people came from "one-night meetings", they were not all like-minded. Doing things for the empire and the army was one thing, but they might not be happy with each other. Ayukawa Yosuke asked Tojo Hideki and Matsuoka Youu and Hoshino Naoki to help to get this lineup. It was not easy. After the expiration, he applauded gently to attract the attention of most people and raised his glass to propose: "To celebrate the empire's official acquisition of the dominance of Manchuria, laying a solid foundation for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor, Yasuo Ichiyu, please drink a full drink!"

"Hehe!" Hideki Tojo responded first, and drank the cup as big as his thumb in a very pleasant sip. He sighed with an exaggerated "ah" in his mouth. Those who didn't know thought he had drunk two taels of burning knife in one sip.

Most people deal with it on the surface. Kenji Doihara is relatively old. In addition, he has been working as a spy and is used to being serious and serene. He drank the wine in his glass with a calm expression, and his eyelids drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The most alternative is Ishihara Kaner. He didn't speak much from the beginning, and he couldn't see any excitement at this moment. He held the wine glass and was stunned, as if everything had nothing to do with him. By the way, this time he was the only one who led the team on a staff tour. When he met these old friends, he was not as salty or unpretentious as he was. Most people didn't like him very much, so few people greeted him.

Ayukawa Yoshisuke knew that the scene today was not so easy to settle, so he carefully avoided many unhappy topics. After putting down the wine cup, he slapped the table and sighed: "You must have known what happened four months ago. I was kidnapped by the Chinese to Shanghai with the Toyota kid and went to Shanghai. I was shamelessly sentenced. Although it was thanks to the assistance of the empire to save trouble, I was not very guilty of taking it to see my ancestors with me, so I had to try to wash the snow. I would like to ask you all to help me in this matter! The Navy can't count on it anymore!"

"What I'm saying is! Those Chinese are too rampant. If you don't teach them a harsh lesson, you won't know how to respect the majesty of our great Japanese empire! This matter must be calculated clearly! Ayukawa-kun, please relax and cover it with our Kanto Army."

Tojo Hideki is already old, but he still can't hold back. He also has a deep interest dispute with Ayukawa Yoshisuke, so he first came out to express his support. On the other hand, he was indeed very angry. If it weren't for the whip, he would have to help his old friend make such anger.

Seishiro Itagaki played with the thin white porcelain cup and hummed: "The guys in the Navy have completely lost the bravery of their ancestors. They have worked so hard, but they have suffered such a painful failure. In my opinion, they should be completely driven out of the cabinet! If I ask me, the Prime Minister, it would be very appropriate to ask Tojo-kun to do it!"

Tojo Hideki accepted the praise from a group of people with an arrogant expression and a complacent look, as if he could really take on this great task. Most people exaggeratedly agreed, but Kenji Doihara and Kanji Ishihara still didn't say a word, each of whom had other things to do.

"Yes! Yes! That's true!" A group of people clapped their hands and yelled. Kawamoto said, "I simply rejected the Navy's funding proposal, and allocated it to our army for billions of money, making more cannons and chariots, and crushing them directly from Manchuria. What can't be conquered! Save them to waste!"

"Kan Kawamoto said it makes sense! He should have done this a long time ago!" There was another clamor.

Ayukawa Yoshisuke wanted this effect. He knew very well what these elite backbone members of the army who were old but called the "Young Strong Sect" were thinking in their hearts. When they mentioned this, they could be said to be considerate of their preferences.

Seishiro Itagaki smiled freely, tilted his head and saw Doihara's deep expression. He felt uncomfortable. He deliberately grew his neck deep under his nose and said in a thick voice: "Hey! Doihara, don't drink alone, just talk. This time, the Chinese intelligence agency has put in a lot of effort. How can it be done like this? It takes an explanation!"

These words attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked over with strange thoughts, focusing on Doihara's drooping face with drooping bags.

Kenji Doihara probably knew that he couldn't escape. After putting down the wine glass, he handed his hands in front of his belly, pondered for a little while, and said slowly: "Things are much more complicated than imagined. We had a serious lack of understanding of the Chinese man before, and it is understandable that there were deviations. If you want to say, there are also inappropriate aspects of the command and operation of the navy, and we must seriously reflect on it."

This is like nothing else! A group of people tilted their noses and refused to buy it. Seishiro Itagaki hummed, "I think it's all excuses! In any case, it is certain that the Chinese people do not have a powerful navy. So can't they be annihilated a navy with such slow speed? Even if the air force is temporarily behind, it has dispatched a huge fleet of more than 200 aircraft, as long as it is used properly, it is impossible to kill them! In a word, they are all idiots!"

He overturned a boat of people, and even Doihara was scolded. However, Doihara was very cunning and could not be as anxious as their naughty and had to drink by themselves as if they hadn't heard it.

Ayukawa Yoshisuke quickly smoothed out the situation and sighed with a self-blame look: "To be honest, there is a situation that happened because of us. No one wants to see such a result. I just don't understand. Even though our military power has such a great advantage, we still have to be so patient? The so-called League of Nations and other things are actually useless."

He tried so hard to take things into his body, and it became more and more powerful for a group of soldiers. Kawamoto Dasaku couldn't help it first. The culprit who created the "Liujie Lake Incident" shouted with anger: "It's not those guys from the previous cabinet. You are dragging on the gentle diplomacy. You don't need to be so polite with the Chinese! As long as our Kwantung Army works a little harder, it can be taken down by North China now! So what's the difficulty of directly sending troops to crush Zhu Bin's nest?"

"Yes! If we talk about our army, if we become serious, they will not be able to stop it. The guys in the cabinet always shouted that they had no money. Can't we recruit them on the spot?"

"Hahaha! Yes! The Chinese are still very rich, why do you have to work so hard to raise it yourself!"

"Beiping and Tianjin alone can also get tens of millions of military expenditure? Anyway, they don't know how to cherish it themselves, so it's better to give it to us directly. Speaking of which, Doihara Jun has to increase his efforts, and maybe he can directly convince those warlord leaders..."

They are all over fifty years old, with similar military ranks. They speak unscrupulously, and there are many slaps in the inside and outside Kenji Doihara. However, the Chief of the Institution did not care about this level of teasing. After they were almost done, they slowly said: "If you want to deal with China seriously, I suggest you listen carefully to Ishihara's view. His strategy is the first in the empire and is worth noting."

"Well! Your Excellency the Chief of the Institution reminded me very timely! Then Ishihara Jun should not hide his strength anymore, let me talk about it in detail!" At least half of the people immediately agreed. Speaking of which, Ishihara Kan's Tomoki deserves his reputation, and the Kanto Army is more admired, except for a few others. If it is placed in the base camp and the General Staff Headquarters, there will be many objections.

Dozens of gazes looked over at me, and there was no change in mood on Ishihara Kaner's silent face. He raised his eyelids slightly, and a wise and calm light flashed in his deep eyes as deep as abyss, and said lightly: "If you still have this optimistic attitude, we will suffer a greater loss in no time! We must change our vision when looking at China!"

He didn't use the word "china" to call him, most of them were stunned immediately, and his eyes became strangely complicated. Tojo Hideki, who had been unfavorable to him, simply slapped the table and snorted coldly: "Is Ishihara kun telling a joke? What does it mean to be too optimistic? I think you are too cautious! Could it be that a guy who appears randomly is worth changing the established strategy of the entire empire? It's just a joke! Have you been in Sendai for too long and your head was bitten by a mosquito!"

Previously, Kanji Ishihara was the captain of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of Sendai. This time he was determined to be transferred to the General Staff Headquarters as the commander of the combat section. To some extent, he was preparing to reuse him and recognize his strategy. It was originally worthy of congratulations. The old partners of the army, especially the Kanto Army, were all excited, but unexpectedly, this guy who was called "No. 7" (meaning of a psychopath) when he was a child, was still awkward at the critical moment!

Ishihara Kanir has always looked down on Hideki Tojo. This idiot who took three exams before getting into the Army University has always been called "Private Tojo". He often says that this guy "is prone to problems if he manages more than ten machine guns". He is not worthy of his current status at all. Conflicts and conflicts have not been a day or two.

Ishihara sneered: "Private Tojo is still so simple-minded! Do you know how much changes have happened in China in the past two years? Do you know how threatening that mysterious guy named Zhu Bin is? Do you know what the reason for the continuous failure of the Navy is, and how did the Sixth Division last year almost cancel the number? If you don't figure out these problems, just looking at the problem with a superficial perspective will only cause the empire to suffer a greater crisis!"
