    The meeting was over. For Okamura Neiji, it was neither a good nor a bad meeting for the first time with his subordinate generals.

    However, the on-site attack by Kimura, Sanmu and others still made Neji Okamura very embarrassed. Although the reason for the attack by these officers was that he had removed the other party from his position, they were retaliatory.

    However, it is also unbelievable in the Japanese army that pays attention to obedience. After all, Kimura Hyoutarou and Kuangmu Takaaki are just division commanders, and there is two level difference between them and Okamura Neji.

    So after the meeting, Okamura Neji was in a bad mood, and even refused the visit request of Shinozuka Yoshio and others.

    In the luxurious residence, Okamura Neiji and Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-three were kneeling on the tatami face to face. On the small wooden table in the middle were several plates of side dishes and a few small white porcelain wine bottles.

    Seeing that Okamura Neiji seemed to be in a bad mood, Lieutenant General Adachi immediately raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty Commander, you don't have to be angry about what happened during the day. Kimura-kun and Kuwaki-kun are also very angry. Anyway, they will never appear in North China again in the future.  There is no need for you to worry about their affairs!"

    Okamura Neji shook his head and said: "A few Hokkaido bugs are not worth my anger. I am worried about the future of the front army!"

    "There is no need to worry about this. Although the situation of the front army is not very good, in terms of overall strength, it is still not something that the army in North China can compete with"

    Before Adachi Twenty-Three could finish speaking, Okamura Neji said in a deep voice: "Adachi-kun, do you really think so?"

    Seeing the unhappy expression on Okamura Neji's face, Adachi was a little at a loss. Obviously, the Commander did not think so.

    But Adachi came from a distinguished background and was really not afraid of the army general Okamura. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I really think so. I have been serving in the Shanxi battlefield before, and the Zhi/Na government army in the first theater,  The troops in the World War II area have fought against each other, and they have also fought against various troops on the Tubal Road. Perhaps in small-scale battles, those troops may have an advantage, but once the Imperial Army's brigade-level and division-level troops are dispatched, the support  /The army will most likely take the initiative to avoid the edge, which shows that even the support /that person understands that they do not have the strength to compete head-on with the Imperial Japanese Army."

    Okamura Neji looked at Adachi Twenty-three and didn¡¯t speak for a long time!

    Okamura is aware of Adachi's origins and qualifications. He is the fourth son of Army professor Matsutaro Adachi, his elder brother Adachi sixteenth Army Major General, and Adachi Nineteenth Army Lieutenant General.

    Some people think that the Adachi family¡¯s adopted children¡¯s names are a bit strange. Sixteen, nineteen, and twenty-three are all numbers, which are different from the common Japanese names of Taro, Dalang, Jiro, and Saburo.

    In fact, this is because their old man, Matsutaro Adachi, a professor at the Army Military Academy, is too lazy and is afraid that he will be too busy to remember the age of his children, so he just uses the year of birth of the children as their names. Adachi Jokuto was born in the 16th year of Meiji  , in the same way Adachi 19 was born in the 19th year of Meiji, Adachi 23 was born in the 23rd year of Meiji.

    There are four brothers, Lieutenant General Adachi Twenty-three, three of whom are army generals. The second brother is Adachi sixteen, who is a member of the 14th Army Corps. Together with the Commander-in-Chief of the China Expeditionary Forces, Hisao Nishio, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otsuzo  He was a classmate, but because he never went to mainland China, he only became a major general in the army. It should be said that this major general rank is somewhat honored by his two younger brothers.

    The third child¡¯s name is Adachi 19th, an 18th-level military officer, and he is a classmate of the Minister of War, Anan Wei, and the Ambassador to Germany, Hiroshi Oshima.  Adachi did not go to mainland China, but was sent to Tokyo Imperial University to study chemistry at the Faculty of Science. He later engaged in military industry and became an Army lieutenant general.

    Anda 23 is the most typical elite of the imperial army. He was promoted from the infant school to the 22nd grade of the Imperial Army. Among the famous classmates at the same time were Mutaguchi Renya and Suzuki Teichi of Imphal, as well as He Yingqin, the chief of staff of the national army.  classmate.

    Although Anda Twenty-san is a very inconspicuous person, his family is indeed very famous in the country.

    Because Japan's population is relatively sparse and the scale of conscription is very large, this often leads to the situation of "one family with many generals" in the Japanese army. In addition to the four children and three generals in the Adachi family, Adachi's 23rd uncle  Ishimoto Shinroku and Ishimoto Tosan are both lieutenant generals, and Ishimoto Gotsuo is a major general.

    There are six generals in one family, which is unusual in the entire Japanese army.

    Okamura Neiji doesn't care about an army major general or an army lieutenant general. There are six generals standing behind this guy, not counting the old man Adachi Matsutaro. His influence is so great that even Okamura Neiji doesn't dare to look down on him.  .

    Although he does not think highly of his chief of staff, Okamura Neji stillThe general suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "What you see is only the superficial phenomenon. In fact, it's not that the army in North China has not competed with the Imperial Japanese Army in terms of male and female strength, but that the other party is unwilling to do so now."  It¡¯s just exposing your strength!¡±

    "Nani?"

    "Anda Jun, you once served as division commander in the Shanxi battlefield. Can you tell me whether the strength of the First Army can defeat the joint siege of the first war zone, the second war zone and Tubal Road?"

    Anda Twenty-Three thought for a while and said: "The permanent strength of the First Army is three divisions plus four infantry brigades, plus the cooperating Imperial Army, the total strength is about 90,000, and the support/that war zone  Before the Battle of the Central Plains, there were about 240,000 troops stationed on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain. In the World War II zone, there were about 200,000 troops stationed on the Shanxi-Shaanxi border. There were also about 200,000 troops stationed on Tubal Road in Shanxi. The total number was 600,000.  To seven hundred thousand.¡±

    "In terms of military strength, the First Army is far inferior to that/that army. In terms of firepower, although the Imperial Japanese Army has a certain advantage, this advantage is now shrinking, so if these/that army  If all the armies unite and attack at the same time, the First Army may not be a match!"

    Okamura Neji nodded and said: "It's not possible, but it's definitely not an opponent! This phenomenon is not only in Shanxi battlefield, but also in Hebei, Shandong, Suiyuan and other places."

    "Although the Imperial Japanese Army looks strong, it is actually in crisis. If it weren't for the fact that there are many factions among the troops, there are great differences between the political parties, and frictions occur from time to time. Otherwise, it would definitely be  There will be no such thing as the great defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain.¡±

    "Your Excellency, Commander, what you said makes sense!" Anda Twenty-Three said.

    "Although the strength of that person has increased, I haven't taken them seriously yet. What really worries me is the self-degradation of the Imperial Japanese Army!"

    "Self-degeneration?"

    "Yes, if the progress of the army is called self-evolution, then the Imperial Army of Japan has been degenerating over the years, and the speed of degeneration is very fast!" Okamura Neiji said.

    "how do I say this?"

    "Mr. Anda, the Japanese Empire rose in the late Qing Dynasty. During the Gengzi period, Beiping City was occupied by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. The Imperial Japanese Army occupied the East City and the northern part of the West City, which is currently north of Chaoyang Gate and east of Desheng Gate."

    Then Okamura Neiji continued: "Unlike other coalition forces who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot, the imperial army made careful preparations. They brought tens of thousands of small flags with them and distributed them to the citizens of Peiping in the occupied areas. Therefore, all those who inserted them  Those who wore the country¡¯s national flag bearing the words ¡°submissive people¡± were temporarily safe in life and property.¡±

    "The imperial army also set up an "Anmin Office" similar to a police agency, forming a military police and patrol team. They patrolled the market with white bands on their arms. It was the first to restore the prosperity of the market in Peiping. Because the military discipline in the imperial-occupied areas was strict and order was good  , for a time, this place became the first choice refuge for Peiping people.¡±

    At this point, Okamura Neiji changed his words and said with an angry face: "It's the same war, it's the same imperial army. Look at what the Imperial Army of Japan has transformed into now. From top to bottom, they only know how to burn.  Killing, looting, and looking after women for money, how much combat effectiveness can such an army have?"

    Okamura Neiji's words caused Adachi Twenty-san to fall into silence. As a general, he also knew that strict military discipline is the guarantee of combat effectiveness. At present, the military discipline of the Imperial Army of Japan is so bad that it has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army.  At the same time, it also affected the international reputation of the Imperial Japanese Army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
