Chapter 1587 Countermeasures
Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.
Hirohito is summoning the Chief of Staff of the Army, Miyazaki Miyaki, Secretary of the Army, Shinji Hata, Minister of the Navy, Minister of the Navy, Hiroki Fushimiya Miyaki and Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Minuchi.
"You guys, the German army is progressing very smoothly on the European battlefield!" Hirohito's sharp eyes swept across the faces of the four ministers, and then continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, nearly five million troops deployed by the Soviet Union on the Soviet-German border will be completely wiped out by the German army!"
"After this defeat, the Soviet Union will be greatly damaged."
"That is to say, if no major accidents occur, the demise of the Soviet Union is just around the corner."
At this moment, Mine Mitsumasa suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, if the empire sends troops to the Far East at this time, it will inevitably accelerate the demise of the Soviet Union! As long as the Soviet Union is destroyed, the empire can use the 700,000 troops stationed in Manchuria to guard against the heavy army group of the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia, and there is no need to mobilize more reserves."
"Stupid!" Minuchi's words attracted Hirohito's unceremonious reprimand.
Hirohito said: "Mine, you must remember that the Empire and Germany are ally relationships, not subordinate relationships, so the interests of the Empire are higher than those of Germany!"
"If troops were sent to attack the Soviet Union in the Far East, if the Soviet Union really perished, how many benefits could the empire get?"
"Have you ever thought that once Germany really annexes the Soviet Union, Germany will gain the vast territory and abundant war resources of the Soviet Union. With Germany's deep industrial heritage, within ten years, it will surpass the United States to become the world's number one industrial power today. Do you think this is really a good thing for the empire?"
"So, the best result is to let both the Soviet and Germans suffer losses!"
"So, the empire must not send troops to the Far East, and even clearly tell the Soviet Union that the empire does not have any plans to send troops to the Far East in the future."
"Hayi." Mine Mitsumasa said with shame, "I am stupid and disappointed Your Majesty."
Hirohito snorted lightly and said no more reproach, but he actually knew that Mine Hiromasa was not stupid, he was just afraid of the enemy and was afraid of the enemy and fought.
To put it bluntly, Mine Mitsumasa, as the Secretary of the Navy, was actually worried that the navy would suffer an unprecedented defeat after going to war with the United States. In this case, as the Secretary of the Navy, he would not escape the blame, so he strongly encouraged the Far East, because as long as the army sent troops to the Far East, it would not send troops to Southeast Asia again, and the navy would no longer have to go to war with the United States.
So this is a very messy thing. The Japanese Army firmly advocated going south, but the Navy advocated going north, including the commander of the Navy's Joint Fleet, Iroku Yamamoto, who also clearly opposed going to war with the United States.
However, the final decision was made by the Japanese royal family, or Hirohito.
Hirohito said to Hata Shunruo again: "Hahata, the mobilization must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it cannot be made big. It is best to claim that it is a routine exercise to the outside."
"Hayi." Hata Shunji said, "I think so too."
"Yo Xi." Hirohito nodded happily, signaling that the old Japanese could leave.
After several old Japanese robbed out of the study, another old Japanese came in soon.
This time the insider was Yuasakura Hei, the chief spy chief.
Hirohito asked directly: "Yasa-kun, has the counter-espionage plan against Zhong Yi been implemented?"
"Hai, it has officially begun." Yuasakura Hei paused his head and continued, "However, after evaluation by our Ministry of Internal Affairs, the possibility of Chang Kaishen executing Zhong Yi is extremely small, and at most he will be transferred to Zhong Yi as a free position."
"It is acceptable to transfer to a free job." Yuhito said with a grim voice, "As long as you are not in Yinjiang."
"Hai." Yuasakura Hiratsuki said, "If this happens, there should be no problem."
"Yo Xi." Hirohito nodded happily and said, "Yu Asa, then I'll ask for everything."
After saying that, Hirohito actually knelt down and bowed deeply to Yuasakura Hei. Seeing this, Yuasakura Hei quickly lay his whole body on the floor.
...
In Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.
Chen Bulei quickly walked into the study and said respectfully: "Principal."
President Chang said softly, "Have the Japanese government sent an advisory group expelled?"
Although Principal Chang wanted to have a peace talk, he also knew that the present is not a good time for peace talks, at least he would never show his willingness to have a peace talk at this time.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be the second Wang Jingwei?
Therefore, the Japanese advisory group must be expelled.
And it will be widely publicized in the newspaper tomorrow.
Chen Bulei said respectfully: "If you go back to the principal, you have been expelled."
President Chang said lightly and then asked: "What do you think about Tojo Hide Unit Pavilion?"
Chen Bulei whispered: "Principal, Huine felt that Zhong Ziren was a little scared. Although Hideki Tojo was a soldier, the formation of a cabinet did not mean that the Japanese government would fully move into the wartime system. As for the recruitment and formation of fifty divisions, it was even more rumored."
After a pause, Chen Bulei continued: "At least, neither the Military Control Commission nor the Central Commission have received any feedback on this."
"Is that true?" President Chang frowned, "But why did Yunong tell me just now that there are a large number of reserve troops in Japan and the reserve troops gather?"
Chen Bulei disagreed: "This is just a routine autumn exercise for the Japanese Army. Every spring and autumn, the Japanese Army will organize large-scale reserve and reserve training."
"If this is true, then Yanji, why did Zhong Ziren say that?" asked Principal Chang, "Why did he spread news in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone that Japan is about to form a wartime cabinet?"
"This..." Chen Bulei was suffocated when he heard this and did not dare to answer rashly for a moment.
Because Chen Bulei knew very well that this sentence had a heavy weight and could not be said randomly.
Seeing that Chen Bulei didn't speak, Principal Chang said quietly: "Yan Ji, I wonder if you have heard of the allusion of "raising a bandit to respect yourself?"
"This..." Chen Bulei was even more afraid to answer this.
Because Principal Chang is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement!
Principal Chang said bluntly that Zhong Yi was raising the bandits and respecting themselves!
So you really can't answer this, you have to bear historical responsibility!
Fortunately, President Chang did not linger on this topic for too long. He mentioned it and quickly changed the topic: "The Japanese government directly sent an advisory group to Chongqing this time, which shows that they are very sincere. In other words, after swallowing three bitter fruits in the Zhejiang-Fu battlefield, the Japanese government should not launch the fourth Zhejiang-Fu Campaign in a short time."
