To be on the safe side, before departure, Okamura Neiji met with the captain of the Shadow Guard, Gengyama.
He is about thirty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, and his head, hands and feet are very big, so that his military cap looks bigger than other people's; there is nothing special about the equipment on his body.
However, when he saw a long protrusion at the base of his left thigh, Okamura Neji narrowed his eyes. "Three-edged thorn! It must be a three-edged thorn. Then, this person may be
Wolf Fang, and it should be a Wolf Fang of a high level." Confirming this in his heart, Okamura Neiji breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, indescribable emotions arose in his heart.
The situation has developed to this point, which is not what Neji Okamura wants. The situation is gradually getting out of control, which is definitely not conducive to the reconstruction of the country after the war. However, considering that this is the only thing he can do now, he decided to just keep going until the end.
, in fact there is no other choice.
The political field is like a battlefield, and it is a country like Japan that is already seriously deformed. "Destroy and then build, that's the only way! In the history of the Yamato nation, such a bad situation has never happened! Alas, many people have forgotten that China
This country has never been truly defeated by a foreign enemy. The root cause of its defeat lies with the Chinese people themselves..." Since the North China Front entered North Korea, it has rarely appeared on the battlefield because of a tacit understanding with the Chinese side.
Without fighting, Okamura Neji had enough time to think about many things. The above realization was his biggest gain during this period. And because of this understanding, he was able to accept it calmly.
Pan Xiu'an's "guidance" and believed that this was the only chance for Japan to gain a chance of survival after the war - "Since defeat is inevitable, rather than letting others control the fate of the country, it is better to let yourself control it.
, many things can still be controlled -" thinking this in his heart, Okamura Neji did the same thing. And agreeing to promote the marriage between Puyi and the Japanese royal family seemed to him to be controllable.
Okamura Neiji led a guard of less than thirty people to the headquarters of the local reinforcements. As soon as he left the camp gate of the North China Front, relevant news was sent to Nagano Shushen and Umezu Yoshijiro.
Looking at his appearance alone, 65-year-old Nagano Siushen is no different from an old farmer sitting in any Chinese village. However, those who know his identity know that what kind of tiger and wolf is hidden under his seemingly old and simple appearance.
heart.
"There are only twenty-seven people in total including Okamura? It seems that he has given up resistance," Nagano Shushen looked at Umezu Yoshijiro and said.
Umezu Yoshijiro: "Let's wait and see, maybe he will send another army?"
"Umezu-kun, you are being too cautious. The Chinese just wiped out the most powerful brigade under his command not long ago. The North China Front now has no troops that can take action."
"But that's better than our local reinforcements? Isn't it?"
"Of course. But there is no way for the Prime Minister to do this. The domestic food stock is seriously insufficient. If some people are not allowed to eat in North Korea, people should have starved to death. By the way, the collected food must be collected immediately
Now that the shipment is underway, whether the empire can hold on until His Excellency Koizumi returns depends on this batch of food!"
"The plan has been formulated and will be implemented in three days. Not only the food, but also metals and antique calligraphy and paintings will be sent back to the country as soon as possible."
The news that the U.S.-Japanese combined fleet was almost completely wiped out by China's Pacific Fleet in the Pacific has reached North Korea. However, because it is firmly believed that with the power controlled by Koizumi and the support of the Americans, the ultimate winner must be the united U.S. and Japan.
Therefore, Nagano and Umezu can still dream of Koizumi's return.
The successive defeats in the war finally made the Japanese give up the foolish idea of a decisive battle outside the homeland. Therefore, the decisive battle outside the homeland became an operation to mop up North Korea. Starting from the Yalu River, the Japanese army retreated and mopped up all the way.
Not only did they sweep away all the food in the fields of North Korean people, but they also broke all the iron pots and pans made by them and took them away. In fact, in northern North Korea, people starved to death and even cannibalized themselves.
happened.
Now that we have decided to withdraw, leaving a force that can delay the pace of the Chinese army's offensive has become a must. Considering that after returning to the mainland, this force will become the most powerful armed force in the mainland and will directly
Deciding who will be in charge of the cabinet, therefore, ensuring that there is only one voice in this army has become what Nagano Shushen and Umezu Yoshijiro have to do.
Originally, the most powerful Kwantung Army was the target that Nagano and Umezu wanted to attack. However, because Yamada Otsuzo was more sensible, he offered his loyalty to Hideki Tojo early. Therefore, the ambiguous attitude of Okamura Neji
Instead, it became an overhanging rafter.
Nagano and Umezu had already tested Okamura on this matter before, but in their opinion, Okamura, who had always been smart, was confused this time, and when he could no longer afford to wait, it was just a matter of taking strong measures to show off his cards directly.
Last option.
Okamura Neiji only brought over 20 people. In their view, this was a goodwill signal from Okamura. The two of them were originally worried that the situation would become a stalemate and lead to a fight, which would affect the return plan. Now they see Okamura is like this
Realizing their interest, their mood immediately improved.
Their good mood lasted until the meeting.
"Sir, I'm sorry, they have to stay outside," Nagano's adjutant Murakami Murata said politely to Okamura in front of the headquarters of the local reinforcements.
Okamura looked towards Gengshan.
Gengshan nodded without leaving any trace, and the others stayed.
Okamura looked at Murakami and asked, "Is it okay if I bring my adjutant in?"
Murakami looked at Gengshan. Although he felt that this person was very unfamiliar and was different from his impression of Adjutant Okamura, he still nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
For an officer of Okamura's level, the adjutants around him are based on squads, so the occasional appearance of a new face is no problem at all for Murakami. "There is a problem, but if there is only one person, what effect can it have?"
"And this is the truest voice in his heart.
Murakami had no problem with Okamura bringing his lieutenants in, and Nagano, Umezu and Yamada naturally didn't think there was any problem. You must know that there are dozens of powerful men hiding in the room next to them. Originally,
In Nagano and Umezu's view, these talents are today's protagonists. However, after seeing Okamura leaving his guards outside the door from a distance, they believed that not using these talents would be the best result.
