    Shanghai, Headquarters of the Thirteenth Army.

    When Neji Okamura walked into the war room, he found Kanji Ishihara standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back. There were not many people in the empty war room, and only two combat staff were working on the sand table.

    This is completely different from when Usami Takashi was chief of staff.

    When Usami Takashi was the chief of staff, the war room was always bustling with people.

    ¡°But after Ishihara Kanji became the chief of staff, he rarely saw such a situation. Even if it was work on the map or on the sand table, Ishihara Kanji only let a few staff officers do it.

    ¡°Moreover, Ishihara Kanji hardly participated.

    It seems that Ishihara Wanji prefers to use his brain.

    ???????? Usami Takashi prefers to do things with his hands.

    Walking to stand next to Ishihara Wanji, Okamura Neji asked: "Ishihara-kun, what are you thinking about?"

    Ishihara Wanji's eyes still stayed on the map in front of him, and he said quietly: "I was wondering, what is the intention of the base camp or His Majesty the Emperor to launch the third Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign?"

    Okamura Neji said in astonishment: "Isn't this obvious?"

    "Oh, really?" Ishihara Wanji finally turned around to look at Okamura Neji and asked with a smile, "So, what does Okamura-kun think that the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor's intentions are?"

    "Of course it is to solve the threat from the Yinjiang River." Okamura Neiji said without thinking, "Because keeping the Yinjiang River will pose a great threat to the imperial army stationed in Shanghai and even Nanjing! Once the Chinese army sends troops from the Yinjiang River to occupy Shanghai  Even Nanjing can surround the nine divisions stationed around Wuhan!"

    "From a military point of view, this is indeed the case." Ishihara Wanji nodded, and then continued, "But, does the China Army really have this ability? Are they really capable of occupying Shanghai or even Nanjing?"

    "Don't be careless." Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said, "Especially when facing an opponent like Zhong Yi, you must be more careful!"

    "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Okamura, I have no intention of looking down on Zhong Yi at all." Ishihara waved his hand and said, "But I absolutely don't believe that Zhong Yi has the ability to capture Shanghai or even Nanjing.  "

    After a pause, he continued: "Even Hangzhou is absolutely impossible."

    "That's not necessarily the case." Okamura Neiji said, "Wouldn't Shangyu be lost?"

    Ishihara smiled and said: "Shangyu is just a small county town, and the garrison is only half a regiment. Hangzhou is a provincial city, and the garrison also has a main division. Even if Zhong Yi has an elite special forces, it is of little use.  Therefore, it is impossible for the Chinese Army to retake Hangzhou City at this stage."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    Okamura Ningji said: "Is it enough reason to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and eradicate the Yinjiang Industrial Park so that it can no longer transport industrial products to the rear of China?"

    "This is indeed a good reason." Ishihara Wanji nodded slightly and added, "And in fact, the reason why the base camp launched the first and second Zhejiang-Fujian battles was for this reason."

    After a pause, Ishihara Wanji continued: "But it is not enough as a reason for the third Zhejiang-Fujian War."

    "Isn't it enough as a reason for the third Zhejiang-Fujian War?" Neji Okamura asked in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

    "The meaning is very simple, cost and effectiveness will not make the difference!" Ishihara Wan'er shook his head and said, "To put it simply, the price and benefits of the third Zhejiang-Fujian War are not proportional!"

    "In this battle between Zhejiang and Fujian, the empire can almost be said to bet on its national destiny!"

    "Is it really worth risking the fate of the country for nearly a hundred years for the sake of Yinjiang?"

    "Betting on the fate of the country?" Okamura Neiji said, "This Zhejiang-Fujian battle only mobilized eight divisions and one brigade. The scale is not even as large as the Songhu Battle, and it cannot be compared with the scale of the two Wuhan battles. Ishihara-kun  Why do you call it gambling on the fate of the country? This is not gambling on the fate of the country at all, okay?"

    "Eight divisions plus one mixed brigade?" Ishihara smiled and said, "Okamura-kun really thinks that eight divisions plus one mixed brigade will be enough for this battle? Do you really think that there is no need to add more troops in the future?"  Soldiers?"

    "More troops?" Okamura Neiji was stunned, "So many troops are not enough?"

    "It's definitely not enough." Ishihara Wanji said resolutely, "Okamura-kun actually knows very well in his heart, as does the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor. Once the war starts, the China government will definitely increase its troops, and continue to increase the number of troops.  soldiers, so this battle between Zhejiang and Fujian will be inevitable.It evolved into a strategic decisive battle that was larger than the Battle of Wuhan!  "

    After a pause, Ishihara Wanji added: "Since we were not willing to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Army in Wuhan at the beginning, why are we willing to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Army now? It is unreasonable!"

    Hearing this, Okamura Neji also fell into deep thought.

    ¡­¡­

    At the same time, the Tokyo Imperial Palace.

    Tojo Hideki meets again.

    "Your Majesty," Tojo Hideki said respectfully, "What's the important thing for calling me here?"

    Hirohito said: "Tojo-kun, did you know that the Chinese government has sent more troops to the battlefields of Zhejiang and Fujian?"

    "Nani?" Tojo Hideki said in shock, "The Chinese government has increased its troops again? How many troops have been increased?"

    Hirohito said: "According to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in addition to the five group armies previously deployed, the China government has also deployed a total of 250,000 supplementary troops from Sichuan and Guangxi provinces."

    "Nani?" Tojo Hideki said solemnly, "250,000 additional troops?!"

    "Haha, I'm not done yet." Hirohito smiled slightly and added, "In addition to these 250,000 additional troops, the Chinese government is still recruiting troops in Sichuan, and it is said that it will recruit another 300,000 to 500,000 additional troops!"

    "Baga!" Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice, "Is the China Army going to have a decisive battle with the Imperial Army on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield?"

    "I'm afraid, yes, at least there should be this idea." Hirohito said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a big battle."

    "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, what should we do?" Tojo Hideki frowned, "Should we continue to increase our troops?"

    Although Hirohito had a large surplus of troops for the Third Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign from the beginning, now that the Nationalist Government has transferred so many troops, the strength of the Thirteenth Army is immediately stretched again.

    In order to ensure victory, the safest way is of course to send more troops to Zhejiang and Fujian.

    But if we continue to increase our troops, the situation will become a decisive battle with the national army on the battlefields of Zhejiang and Fujian.

    Tojo Hideki knows that, at least at this stage, Hirohito does not want to fight a decisive battle with the national army.

    "Continue to increase troops?" Hirohito shook his head, and then said, "There is no need to continue to increase troops. Let's fight with the existing troops and material reserves. It's good to win, but it doesn't matter even if we can't.  After all, our real intention this time is not to solve the Yinjiang River, what do you think, Tojo-kun?"
