Tojo Hideki said verbally that he was not afraid of the Xuebing Army, but in fact he was really afraid of the Xuebing Army in his heart. The key to why he is still in control of the military lies in the success of the Qinling Operation. Once the Qinling Operation If it fails, the army will inevitably lose its leadership. Of course, he will never admit it. He glared at Yamamoto with a sinister look and said: "The army of students has entered Chongqing. This shows that the Qinling Campaign The strategic goal has been achieved. Wasn't Chiang Kai-shek's central government forced to step down? Since the strategic goal has been achieved, and the imperial army's weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Xuebing Army, I thought the Qinling Campaign could come to an end. Next, we should Focus on solving the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army. Only by completely solving the naval power of the Xuebing Army can the imperial army be able to advance by sea and land to regain Taiwan, control the Taiwan Strait and the Yellow Sea, and then form an encirclement of the Xuebing Army’s base areas.”
"I don't agree." Yamamoto Isoroku said coldly,
Tojo did not win by outsmarting him. What he said just now was too simple. Yamamoto analyzed his sinister intentions without using his brain. Tojo blamed the failure of every school on the fact that the weapons and equipment were not as good as those of the army, shirking the responsibility. At the same time, they also want the navy to take charge of the next war. Their intention is nothing more than hoping that the navy will also lose the battle, and then the army can continue to control the military headquarters.
"I agree to suspend the Qinling operation and switch from offense to defense, but there is a huge hidden danger in doing so. Ouyang Yun will have time to recruit the Central Army. Everyone, the Chinese army around Chongqing now has nearly two million. If Ouyang Yun will What will it mean for the empire if all these troops are integrated?"
"Nonsense, of course Ouyang Yun will recruit the Central Army into Chongqing. How to solve the problem?" Tojo said with a sneer: "We can't ignore the Xuebing Army and become stronger."
Yamamoto ignored Tojo's provocation, glanced at the whole place, walked up to the map, stamped hard on the Far East, and said: "Mr. Senior Private claims that he can't defeat the cadet army, so we won't fight now."
"You." Tojo was angry, but when he saw that everyone's eyes were drawn to Yamamoto, he snorted coldly and did not continue his attack.
"Since we are unable to solve the China Incident in a short period of time, we might as well send troops to the Far East and cooperate with the German army to destroy Soviet Russia first. Soviet Russia is now stretched thin under the attack of the German army. If the Kwantung Army kills people from the Far East again, it is foreseeable that Soviet Russia will inevitably be defeated when attacked from two sides, and as long as we defeat Soviet Russia, our enemies will actually be China and the United States. At that time, we can completely ask the German army to go south and cooperate with the imperial army to solve the China incident."
"No, I don't agree." Hideki Tojo roared: "The Army has to maintain the war situation in the Pacific and China at the same time, and its troops are already stretched thin. How can there be any extra troops to attack the Far East? What if the Gakuin Army launches a counterattack?"
As early as the beginning of last year, Germany asked Japan to send troops to the Far East in order to attack Soviet Russia from east to west with the German army. The Japanese agreed verbally at the time, and therefore bought a lot of weapons and equipment from Germany, but they kept making excuses and did not actually implement it.
Yamamoto sneered, squinted at Tojo and said: "At the same time, we are maintaining the war situation in the Pacific and China. Mr. Private, don't you blush when you say such a thing? In the Pacific, the Royal Navy is the main force. Of course, the National Liberation Army is all infantry. You have to use forceful reasoning. If so, it can also be regarded as belonging to the Army."
Tojo blushed rarely,
The National Liberation Army was actually created by the Navy, and the core military power has always been in the hands of Koizumi Toshiichiro. Although the Army also participated in the Australian war, it actually only had two divisions, and one of them was once known as the most useless division in the world. The Fourth Osaka Division of the Regiment,
Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Yamamoto took advantage of the victory and pursued the victory, saying: "The attack is weak, and the defense is also useless. Mr. Private, is it possible that the Royal Army has now become the worst army in the world?"
Tojo was furious and shouted: "Ba Ge, the weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Chinese. What do you want the frontline troops to do?"
"Isn't there still the invincible bushido spirit?"
Tojo was once again at a loss for words,
The Japanese army and navy have different military building concepts. The army emphasizes the spirit of bushido, while the navy, under the influence of Koizumi and Yamamoto, pays more attention to equipment capabilities. When Yamamoto talks about this, Tojo is really speechless.
Before the meeting, Yamamoto and Hirosei Yoneuchi had already reached an agreement on certain matters. Seeing that Tojo had been provoked into a powder keg that could explode at any time, Yoneuchi was worried that the atmosphere at the meeting would be too stiff to pass a decision, so he stood up to smooth things over and said: "The equipment is not as good as it is." The Gakuin Army is indeed a major problem plaguing the Imperial Army, but Don't be discouraged, Tojo-kun. The empire's military industry experts are catching up. I believe that it won't be long before we have weapons and equipment that are not weaker than the Gakuin Army's standard weapons. ." After a pause, he continued: "The Chinese government has changed its cabinet, and there is indeed no need to continue the Qinling Operation. However, with the bravery of the imperial army, it should not be a problem to hold on to the current front. The next strategy proposed by Marshal Yamamoto, I think the feasibility is very high. The Soviet Union is already in decline. Our army will not encounter too many obstacles in attacking the Far East. As long as we can help Germany defeat the Soviet Union first, we can lead the German army to advance eastward, thereby leveraging the power of the German army. Solve China..."
"Your Excellency, I heard that the German government has a secret relationship with the Xuebing Army. Not long ago, they sent Falkenhausen as a secret envoy to Guangzhou." One of Tojo Hideki's subordinates suddenly said,
Yamamoto sneered when he heard this and sneered: "You also said it was a secret mission. Why is it a secret mission? It's because they and the Xuebing Army are not in the same camp at all. In this world war, there will be only one winning side. It’s either the Allies or our Axis Powers. According to the current situation, do you think the Allies can win? So, despite the current ambiguity between Germany and the Cadet Army, their different positions make it impossible for them to form an alliance. This is what we can use Conditions." He glanced at Tojo and said: "If possible, I certainly hope to defeat the Xuebing Army with the strength of the Imperial Army itself and completely solve China. But you have also seen that the Army Ministry organized Not only did several sieges fail to defeat the Xuebing Army, but they lost more than 100,000 elite troops in vain. Wake up, everyone, the second strongest army in the world is a thing of the past. Now, we should recognize the gap clearly and use the help of the world The general trend has been achieved. We will defend the battlefield in China and attack on the northern and southern fronts. We will persist until Germany defeats Soviet Russia. Then it will be time for us to clean up the student army."
The Tokyo base camp stopped the Qinling offensive and ordered the front-line troops to go on the defensive. This was a wise move based on practical considerations. However, for the Xuebing Army, it seemed to have invisibly strengthened its momentum. As soon as the Japanese offensive stopped, Both the Chinese military and civilians thought that it was because of the Xue Bing Army's entry into Chongqing that it inadvertently boosted the Xue Bing Army's momentum and Ouyang Yun's prestige. However, this was a great gift from the Japanese to the Xue Bing Army and Ouyang Yun. Therefore, the command headquarters It also gave time to reorganize the army, so a massive reorganization movement began around Chongqing. What is worth looking forward to is that after this reorganization, China's military power will inevitably take on a completely new look. By then, China will launch a comprehensive The time for counterattack,
