Chapter 170 The Best Times
The Tingsonglu in Wuhan was filled with sorrow, but the Shanghai Condemnation Army Command in Suzhou was filled with joy.
The combat staff director Akira Muto and the intelligence staff director Nagayong all took off their military uniforms and danced in person on the table with bare shirtlessness.
More than a dozen staff officers from the headquarters sat around and followed the rhythm.
Halfway through the dance, Muto Akira suddenly stopped, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor!"
"His Majesty the Emperor"!" The dozen or so staff members sitting around raised their glasses and cheered in vain.
Changyong was not willing to be outdone, so he jumped up and raised his wine glass to scream at the top of his lungs: "The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!" More than a dozen staff officers around him cheered loudly again, then clinked their glasses and drank them all.
At this time, Muto Akira and Nagayong were already half drunk, and suddenly hugged each other again, sang the folk songs of cherry blossoms, and after singing a few sentences, more than a dozen staff officers around also joined in.
Cherry blossoms,
Cherry blossoms.
Under the sunny sky in March,
Endless cherry blossoms.
Flowers are like clouds and colorful clouds,
The fragrance is as beautiful as a painting.
Come on,
Come on,
Come and see the cherry blossoms.
Through a thin wooden door, Matsui Ishike, Tsukada Oshi and Iimuma Ko, three old Japanese devils were sitting around a short table, listening to the noise of the staff outside, raising their glasses to drink.
If it were to be normal, Matsui Ishien would have been furious for such a fuss.
However, today, Matsui Ishien had no intention of interfering. If it weren't for his age, he would even want to join the carnival of young staff!
There is a reason for the young staff members’ carnival!
Because the battle to capture Nanjing is sure to win!
Just this afternoon, the secret service suddenly heard a very exciting good news. The senior general of the Chinese army who stayed in Nanjing had actually escaped!
Immediately afterwards, various divisions on the front line sent back even more exciting news. Except for the Chinese army on the Zijin Mountain that was still fighting stubbornly, the Chinese army on the other battlefields had collapsed and fled into the chaotic Nanjing city. However, because it was dark, the divisions did not pursue and enter the city for the time being!
But it can be predicted that the battle will end just by waiting for tomorrow to dawn!
Because the Chinese army in Nanjing has completely lost its will to resist!
"Tsukada-kun, Iinuma-kun, how many years have it been? How many years have it been?" Matsui Ishione held up the wine cup and said in a faint tone, "If we count from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, it will be more than three hundred years. If we count from the Great Reform era, it will be one thousand three hundred years. One thousand three hundred years. The dream of our struggle with many predecessors of the human race will finally be realized!"
"Sodes." Tsukada Tora bowed his head heavily and said deeply, "Because of the harsh living environment, we and the human race have endured too much suffering, but it is precisely because of the suffering and hardship that we and the human race have formed a tenacious and unyielding character. After thousands of years of struggle, we finally have the glorious rise today!"
"Hai!" Iimuma Mori also bowed his head heavily and said, "After Nanjing, the Chinese government will inevitably surrender. At that time, the empire will form an alliance with it, and then it will be able to go north to compete with the Soviet Union. Just by defeating the Soviet Union, the Great Japanese Empire will have unlimited resources and the border of Guangmao. With the potential to develop for another thirty years, it will have enough strength to compete with the United States and Britain as the throne of the world hegemony. The world is about to enter the era of human rule, haha!"
"Cheers!" Matsui Ishione raised his glass happily, "For the upcoming era of humanity!"
"Cheers!" Tsukada Ota and Iinuma Mori followed and raised their glasses, "The Yamato nation...on-board!"
"By the way, there is something else." Matsui Ishigen put down his wine glass and said, "The senior Chinese generals who stayed in Nanjing have basically fled. It can be foreseen that the Chinese army in the city will give up resistance and surrender in large numbers. Therefore, the imperial army will soon face the problem of how to deal with prisoners of war."
After pausing, Matsui Ishien said again: "And this time it is no longer hundreds or thousands of prisoners of war, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands! If all the executions are still as before, will it cause international criticism?"
Tsukada Ota and Iinuma Masato looked at each other and asked, "Great General, what is His Highness Hirohiko's opinion?"
"Don't worry about His Highness Hirohiko's opinion for now." Matsui Ishione waved his hand and said, "Just talk about your own opinions."
Iinuma Mori thought for a while and whispered: "Commander, why don't you call Muto Akira, Nagayong and the others in for a meeting?"
"No need." Matsui Ishigen waved his hand and continued, "Mutou Akira and Nagayong have expressed their opinions. What they mean is to kill all the prisoners of war, and not leave any one!"
Tsukada Otsuka and Iimuma Masato were shocked when they heard this, and they all killed them?
After a while, Tsukada Attack, Iimuma Masato finally nodded.
"Okay." Matsui Ishione said, "Then kill them all!"
At this time, Matsui Ishione's adjutant suddenly pushed the door and said, "Grandmaster General, Miss Hibino, the military reporter who was stationed in Shanghai to condemn the army, wants to give you an exclusive interview."
"Miss Hibino?" Tsukada Ota and Iinuma Masato's eyes lit up for a while.
Matsui Ishione also said happily: "Kun Ohara, please come in with Miss Hibino."
Adjutant Xiaoyuan said, and bent down and exited the room. After a while, a beautiful female reporter with picturesque eyebrows pushed the door and walked into the room. As soon as she entered the door, she bowed deeply to the three old Japanese.
"Hibino Miko, I have met the Commander and the Two Generals!"
"Miss Hibino, you don't have to be so polite." Matsui Ishione waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."
"Hayi!" Miko Hibino bowed again, then sat cross-legged beside Matsui Ishien, then took out her notebook and pen, and asked, "Grand Commander, you are about to capture Nanjing, the capital of China. As the commander of the Central China Front Army and the Shanghai Condemnation Army, what do you think at this moment?"
"Thoughts?" Matsui Ishi said after pondering for a moment, "At this moment, I just want to say that this is the best time!"
"The best time?" Miko Hibino said, "Mr. Commander, does this sentence have any special meaning?"
"There is no special meaning." Matsui Ishione waved his hand and continued, "I mean that being able to live in the Showa era, being able to personally participate in the rise of the Yamato nation, and being able to witness the Japanese Empire standing on the top of the world with one's own eyes is the greatest luck of our generation, so it is said that this is the best era!"
