Just as the Japanese officers were talking in low voices, wondering what the meeting was for, a black car drove up from far down the street and stopped outside the gate of the gendarmerie!
The car was stable, the door was pushed open, and then a foot wearing high-waisted leather boots poked out from inside, as if it was worried that the ground would be hot. First, it tapped the foot lightly on the ground, and then stretched it out.
It actually fell to the ground!
When the sole of the foot was firmly planted, the leg stepped hard, and then a body was moved out, and finally the huge head!
"Hello, Commander!"
All the officers and soldiers standing outside the military police unit bowed and saluted the visitor. Even the captain of the independent garrison, Colonel Morili, bowed respectfully and stood there as motionless as a cooked shrimp.
Gently pulling off the white gloves on his fingers, General Shigeru Honjo, the commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, casually waved his hand to the Japanese officers who greeted him and said, "Yaoxi, everyone, get up and go in to talk!"
All the officers straightened up, and some officers stayed to deal with other matters. The captain of the garrison, Colonel Moriren, the captain of Japan's Fengten Military Police, Colonel Inukai Ken, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Sakata Ichiro, and others led the way and surrounded Honjo.
General Fanda walked into the gate of the Military Police!
"Is everyone here?"
Walking in the sunny courtyard, the golden star on Honjo Shigeru's shoulder was illuminated by the sun's rays. It was so bright that it was a little dazzling. If combined with his upright posture and the aura of having been in a high position for a long time, even Mori and the others were a little afraid to look at him.
Already.
After listening to the commander's question, Ken Inukai, the captain of the military police on the side, hurriedly came forward and said, "Except for Lieutenant Colonel Uraharu Okawara who was captured and Lieutenant Colonel Iwao who broke his heart for His Majesty the Emperor, everyone else is here, even Masamoto Shimamoto.
The First Lieutenant Colonel is also injured!"
"Nonsense, Lieutenant Colonel Shimamoto led his team in a bloody battle, and did not surrender until the entire army was wiped out. Such a loyal and brave Yamato samurai did not let him have a good rest, so why did he let him come here injured!"
Seeing that Honjo Shige was angry, Ken Inukai, who originally wanted to show off, realized that he had accidentally photographed the horse's hoof. This made him really frightened, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Ichiro Sakata!
General Honjo Shigeru just said casually, so he didn't notice Inukai Ken's face turning sallow. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ichiro Sakata and smiled, "Koichiro, I didn't expect to grow so tall. Your father has been so tall recently."
How are you, are you okay?"
Ichiro Sakata hurriedly came out, bowed, and said respectfully, "Uncle Honjo, it's rare that you still think about my father. He is in good health, but he has become fond of sake and sashimi recently. He has to eat it with every meal. Without it, he can't eat.
go!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing what Sakata said, Honjo Shige couldn't help laughing and seemed quite happy, "I didn't expect that old Sakata would be so interesting. I must go and see him when I have time to go back to China!"
As he spoke, Shigeru Honjo stepped into the third courtyard and went straight to the war room!
"Commander is here!"
As the messenger shouted, the war room, which was originally lively like a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet. The Japanese officers who were discussing the problem hurriedly stopped their discussion, stood upright, and waited for the arrival of the commander without squinting.
Click, click, click, the iron palms on the heels of the big leather boots tapped on the bluestone floor tiles, making a crisp sound, extending from the door of the war room, until it stopped at the long conference table in the war room, and finally
Next to the main seat inside.
After clearing his throat, Shigeru Honjo put his hands on the table, his eyes swept over the faces of the Japanese officers present, and finally stopped on a soft bed in the corner!
Lying on the soft bed was a man covered in bandages. It looked like he had difficulty moving. Beside the soft bed, stood two Japanese soldiers and a Japanese military doctor!
The man lying on the soft bed was none other than the captain of the Second Brigade of the Independent Defense Force, the man who almost caused Luo Xiao to be reimbursed by Shimamoto Shoichi!
Seeing Shimamoto Masaichi, Honjo Shigeru walked out from behind the conference table and walked up to Shimamoto Masaichi with a knowing smile on his face, "Shimamoto-kun, thank you for your hard work!" As he spoke,
A ninety-degree bow.
The other officers were all stunned. They never imagined that the dignified commander of the Kwantung Army, a general, would bow to one of his lieutenants, and be so polite!
Seeing this, Shimamoto hurriedly struggled to get up, but as soon as his body moved, the wound on his body was pulled. The pain made him grimace, and then he was held down by Honjo Shige!
"Don't move, Shimamoto-kun. You are the glory of the Yamato Samurai and a well-deserved Japanese soldier. On behalf of all the Kwantung Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" Honjo Shige's tone and expression were very serious when he spoke, without any joking or disrespectful intention.
.
Shimamoto Masaichi was lying on the soft bed, feeling very excited. He didn't expect that he could still be appreciated and favored by the commander, which made him very happy!
"General, it was Shimamoto who neglected his duty. He wasted the Wicker Lake Incident that was supposed to be the beginning of the Great Japanese Holy War and lost the entire second battalion of soldiers. General, please punish me!" Although it was still a bit difficult to speak, but
Shimamoto Shoichi still said these words clearly. After finishing speaking, he gasped for breath, and it was obvious that he was very physically exhausted!
Honjo Shige's heavy lips trembled twice, and then said, "Shimamoto-kun, don't mind too much, sometimes things are out of control. No one could have imagined that the Chinese army in Beida Camp would resist, and their combat effectiveness was so high."
powerful!"
"but I--"
Honjo Shige raised his hand to stop his words, and then said, "Shimamoto-kun, don't worry, this meeting is to discuss the implementation of the big plan. This time, I will personally formulate and personally implement the Holy War of the Japanese Empire."
It will definitely succeed!”
After giving Shimamoto Masaichi and the doctor beside him a few words to have a good rest, Honjo Shigeru returned to the head seat of the conference table!
Standing behind the table with his hands on the table, Shigeru Honjo glanced at the many subordinates in the room and said, "Everyone, this emergency meeting is being held here today to discuss the issue of military operations in China and Manchuria, that is, the issue of the big plan!"
"Hi!" All the officers stood at attention and bowed their heads and responded loudly!
"Although the launch of the big plan has been delayed for some reasons, the resistance of the Northeastern Army cannot stop the Yamato nation's determination to conquer China. As the most elite army of the Japanese Empire in China, the Kwantung Army must be the first to launch this plan.
A holy war to turn Manchuria into the resources, granary and labor force of the Japanese Empire!"
"I believe that in the near future, Manchuria, Central China, North China, South China, and even the entire China and Asia will become the territory of the Yamato nation!"
Shigeru Honjo waved his arm across the map and drew a large circle, encompassing half of the earth!
