Hata Shunroku was speechless.
Kanin Miyazai Renxin said, why did Tojo Hideki speak up for Ishihara Wanji today?
"Hata-kun, Mr. Kanin Palace, I am not speaking for Ishihara Wanji, but I am simply stating the facts." Tojo Hideki continued, "The newly formed three-unit division regiment with serial numbers after 100 has a comparable combat effectiveness. There is indeed a gap compared with the veteran divisions with number 20 or less, but it is more than enough to deal with the anti-Japanese elements in Manchuria or the China Army or Communist guerrillas sent by the China government to carry out sabotage in Manchuria."
After a pause, Tojo Hideki continued: "So, there is really no problem in dispatching veteran divisions with a number of less than 20 from Manchuria to the Myanmar battlefield."
Hata Shunroku frowned and said, "The problem is, Umezu-kun has a lot of opinions."
"Yes." Xianyuan Gong Zairen also agreed, "The Kwantung Army has also been upgraded to the general army, which is at the same level as the Southern Army and the China Condemnation Army. We can't be too strong for the Southern Army and too weak for the Kwantung Army, right? "
"This is indeed a problem." Tojo Hideki said, "Isn't there a solution?"
When Shunroku Hata heard this, his heart suddenly moved. What did Hideki Tojo mean? Is it hinting at something?
After all, Xianyuan Gong Zairen was old and his brain was not very good. He couldn't react immediately. He shook his head and said: "There is no way to solve this matter. After all, everyone wants a division with a number of less than 20."
Tojo Hideki coughed lightly and said: "Under the Kanin Palace, is it possible to transfer the veteran divisions with numbers within 20 from the Kwantung Army, but still be commanded by Umezu Yoshijiro?"
"Still being commanded by Umezu Yoshijiro? How is this possible?" After saying this, Kanin Miyazaihito finally reacted and said in shock, "Tojo-kun, do you mean to let Ishihara Kanji and Umezu Yoshijiro switch positions?"
"Isn't it bad?" Tojo Hideki finally made his intention clear and said, "In the final analysis, Ishihara Kanji was very good in his contest with Zhong Yi, both when he was in the Zhejiang-Fujian war zone and after he arrived in Myanmar. At an absolute disadvantage, who can guarantee that after this increase in troops, he will definitely be able to defeat Zhong Yi?"
"This" Hata Shunroku and Hanin Miyazai Ren were speechless for a moment.
Of course, no one dares to make this guarantee. Even if the Myanmar Front Army increases its troops to 20 divisions and 500,000 troops, no one dares to say that it will definitely win.
"In the final analysis, the Japanese army can increase its troops, and the Chinese army can also increase its troops.
¡°And China¡¯s population far exceeds that of Japan, so the increase in troops will only be more.
Tojo Hideki added: "Umezu-kun did a good job in the Kwantung Army. Although he bears a certain joint responsibility for the defeat of the Battle of Nomenkan, the main responsibility does not lie with him. This is conclusive, so why? Can¡¯t we let Umezu Yoshijiro go to Myanmar and give it a try? Who dares to say that Umezu Yoshijiro is not as good as Ishihara Wanji?¡±
"But, but" Shunroku Hata said, "Umezu Yoshijiro is the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army is the same general army as the Southern Army. Let Umezu Yoshijiro serve as the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Front. Isn't it a downgrade?"
"Isn't this simple?" Tojo Hideki said, "Since the status of the Burmese battlefield is so important, then simply upgrade the Burmese Front Army to the Burmese Condemnation Army, which is at the same level as the Kwantung Army, the China Condemnation Army and the Southern Army. Then transferring Ishihara Wanji to the Kwantung Army as commander-in-chief can be regarded as a reward for his hard work in Burma. This makes sense in all aspects, Hata-kun, and Mr. Kanin Palace, what do you think?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded lightly, it seemed feasible.
¡¡
Yangon, Myanmar.
The Battle of Mandalay ended in failure, and it was no longer necessary to continue the confrontation with the national army near Meiktila, so Kanji Ishihara withdrew the Japanese troops to the Pyinmana line in the south.
The headquarters of the Burmese Front Army and the 25th Army also moved back to Yangon.
In the war room of the Yangon headquarters, Ishihara Wanji was surveying the map with a magnifying glass.
After all, he is almost sixty years old, and his eyesight has deteriorated so much that he has to use a magnifying glass to see certain details on the map clearly.
While he was surveying the map, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
Without looking back at all, just by listening to the rhythmic footsteps, Ishihara Wanji had already figured out that this was the chief of staff, Tanigina Kao, walking into the war room.
"Taniga-kun, has the base camp been restored?"
Ishihara Wanji asked without raising his head.
"Hai." Gu Di Na Hua Xiong said loudly and his tone was heavy.
? ???Yuan Wan'er did not notice the abnormality in Tanigi's tone and asked again: "How did the base camp respond? Did you agree to our plan to increase troops?"
"Hai." Guodi Nahuaxiong paused again and said in a deep voice, "I agree."
"Yo Xi." Ishihara Wanji finally moved his eyes away from the map and nodded happily, "The base camp finally agreed to our plan to increase troops."
"But" Guodi and Hua Xiong said but, but didn't know how to continue.
It was only then that Ishihara Kanji noticed something strange about Kao Tanigina's expression, and asked in surprise: "Taniga-kun, in addition to agreeing to our plan to increase troops, does the base camp have any other orders?"
"Hai." Tanigi Nahuaxiong paused for the third time, then handed over the telegram in his hand and said sadly, "Your Excellency, Commander, you'd better read it yourself."
Ishihara Wanji reached out and took the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Ishihara smiled and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Tanigi Nahuaxiong whispered: "Your Excellency, Commander, you don't have to pay too much attention. The headquarters transferred you from Myanmar to the Kwantung Army as the commander-in-chief. It is also an affirmation of your previous performance in the Zhejiang-Fujian war zone and the Myanmar battlefield. Explain that your contribution to the empire and the imperial army is known to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp"
Before he finished speaking, Tanigi Nahuaxiong was interrupted by Ishihara Wanji.
Ishihara Wanji shook his head and said, "Taniha-kun, I'm fine, no need to comfort me."
After a pause, Ishihara smiled again and said: "To be honest, I don't resist at all in my heart about being able to leave Myanmar and not have to face this guy Zhong Yi."
Tana Nahua watched Ishihara a little wrong.
Tanigi Nakaxiong really didn¡¯t expect that the always proud Ishihara Kanji would actually say such ¡°depressing words¡± that sounded like someone else¡¯s ambition would undermine his own prestige.
"Do you think I shouldn't say such things?" Ishihara Wan'er laughed at himself, "Yes, how can a proud and stubborn person like me admit defeat so easily? However, the fact is that in the contest with Zhong Yi, I have never taken advantage, not only me, Okamura-kun has not taken any advantage either." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
