If we can't defeat it, whose responsibility is it?
It must be mine. The group of people above will never admit their mistakes. As a frontline commander, if this responsibility is not given to myself, who should I give it to?
Report it first. You can't decide whether to fight or not, but you have the right to make suggestions. As for what the superiors will do, it has nothing to do with you.
Accompanied by several generals, Nakamura stood on the hillside and looked at the road ahead.
On the winding road ahead, British prisoners were escorted by imperial soldiers to the prisoner of war camp.
In this battle, the empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were all deployed on the battlefield. After fighting for more than ten days, they finally captured this important city and captured more than 50,000 people from the other side. The remaining troops are now fleeing to the south.
He has ordered a division of troops to quickly pursue the attack south.
These forces will become the best labor force for the empire to build roads.
"Your Excellency General, our troops are pursuing that direction. In addition, according to our interrogation of the prisoners, South Asia Governor William and the city defense commander here suddenly disappeared when the battle was coming to an end."
The adjutant next to him opened the file and reported the news sent down to Nakamura.
Nakamura raised his hands and narrowed his eyes.
He was a little disappointed. He had always thought that this battle was won by the efforts of the imperial soldiers, but now it seems.
The efforts of the imperial soldiers are partly due to this, but also partly due to the failure of their chain of command. Otherwise, this battle may still be fought for a few more days.
"Where are the supplies? How are the supplies in Delhi?"
Supplies in the city?
This is a pity. The local troops blew up all the supplies when they evacuated. Originally, everyone thought they could find some valuable things in the Governor's Mansion and the City Defense Headquarters, but there were only abandoned items there.
Apart from the stools and tables, nothing else is left.
"The supplies have been destroyed. The supplies we have captured so far may not be enough to maintain the troops' future needs."
Nakamura remained silent for a long time before he turned around and said, "Transport from the rear. In addition, we strictly ordered the troops entering the city. No mercy will be spared. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."
He has already formed a deadly feud with Shancheng, and there will definitely be a feud with them from now on. He does not want to make another enemy in South Asia again.
For South Asia, the empire should use it, but it should also be appeased, because they don't hate the empire very much.
This can be seen from the attitude of local people towards the imperial soldiers.
But if the empire is ignorant and insists on making some noise, then they will definitely not be so enthusiastic in the future, and it is not impossible that they may even turn against the empire.
"Your Excellency, General, it will take us a long time to transport supplies from the rear. Do you think we can let the troops gather supplies nearby? This will..."
A brigade leader next to him made a suggestion, but before he could finish his words, Nakamura turned to look at him with a gloomy face and said, "Why, what happened in Jinling didn't make you happy, and now, you still want to do it again,
Do you think that the empire has too few enemies?"
"My subordinates definitely don't mean this." The brigade leader quickly lowered his head. He did not dare to say that this was the case.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. We will mobilize a brigade to take charge of security issues along the way. In addition, let the South Asian Independent First Division assist in guarding the safety of roads and bridges. In a short period of time, we need this transportation line.
, In addition, if we transport more food back, we need to distribute some to the people."
Nakamura thought about it. He couldn't make the same mistake again. What happened in Jinling back then couldn't happen again here.
Otherwise, I, the King of Heaven, will not be able to save the empire.
"Your Excellency, General, Fujita called. The enemy's mountain castle special forces are building defensive positions and may have been digging inside the mountain. He asked if it is necessary to attack."
Problems in the northwest?
Nakamura's eyes fell on the group of prisoners for a while and then he pointed to the car next to him: "Let's go back and talk later."
As for the issue of the army in the mountain city in the northwest, whether to fight or not, I need to ask the superiors. To be honest, this matter is beyond the scope of his decision.
Mountain City, American Embassy.
Situ looked at the stretching mountains in a daze.
In the past two days, the situation has become increasingly confusing.
I don’t know where the news came from, saying that Yamashiro has cooperated with the Japanese army in South Asia.
This cooperation is not a real cooperation. It seems that it is the division of control areas in South Asia.
He once tentatively asked Shancheng's foreign affairs department for their opinion on this matter.
Yamashiro's explanation was that this was an attempt by the other party to sow discord and a conspiracy by the enemy, and should never be believed.
As for why the troops stationed in the northwest of Mina did not attack.
Yamashiro's explanation is more direct.
Delhi is gone, so why bother to contain it? If we have that time, we might as well quickly organize our forces for defense to prevent the Japanese army from advancing to the northwest.
Do you dare to say that what they say makes no sense?
No, they are very reasonable.
Delhi is indeed gone. For the sake of a place occupied by the Japanese army, do you really allow their troops to advance forward?
A partial victory will not affect the overall situation. To support the situation, it means that the Japanese army can deploy troops to the northwest to support it.
I have thought too much. What I want to think about now is not these, but what the empire's plan is for South Asia.
No matter what happens between Yamashiro and other Japanese troops, this kind of tacit cooperation definitely exists.
He needed an accurate answer as to whether the Empire wanted to intervene in this matter, but two days had passed since the incident, but there was no message from it.
What are you waiting for?
Just when he was anxiously waiting for news from the local area.
In Fog City, a secret urgent message was also delivered to the secretary.
The secretary planned to leave, but she couldn't leave in the end because Mr. Smith hasn't left yet.
To use his words, if he leaves at this time, the Prime Minister will most likely kill him.
He must leave, but he must wait until he has no right to mobilize people before taking action.
So the secretary listened to Smith and kept doing his job.
Looking at the message in his hand, the secretary felt a little flustered.
Because there are two copies of this telegram, each one brings news that is sure to give the Prime Minister's Office a blow. I'm afraid this will definitely be no less than when the enemy attacked the homeland.
"What's wrong with you? You're in a panic." The Prime Minister had just returned from a meeting and was taking a rest. When he saw his secretary's appearance, he put down his coffee and asked.
