Chapter 1798 Substitution
Shinji Hata was speechless.
Zai Renxin of the Ichiyuan Guineng said, how did Tojo Hideki speak for Ishihara Kanji today?
"Hahata, Prince Yiyuan Palace, I am not talking for Ishihara, but just saying the facts." Tojo Hideki continued, "The combat effectiveness of the three-unit division group after the number 100 is indeed different from that of the old division group within the number 20, but it is more than enough to deal with anti-Japanese elements in Manchuria or the Chinese army or Communist guerrillas sent to Manchuria for destruction."
After a pause, Tojo Hideki continued: "So, there is really no problem to draw an old division group with a number of less than 20 from Manchuria to the Myanmar battlefield."
Hata Shunruo frowned and said, "The problem is that Umetsu-kun has a lot of opinions."
"Yes." Xianyuan Miyao Zairen also echoed, "The Kanto Army has also been upgraded to the General Army, and is in the same level as the Southern Army and the Chinese Condemnation Army. We cannot be too generous to the Southern Army and weak to the Kanto Army, right?"
"This is indeed a problem," Hideki Tojo said, "Is there no solution?"
When Hata Shunruo heard this, his heart moved. What does Tojo Hideki mean? Is he hinting at something?
After all, Jae-in, Xianyuan, was old and had a bad brain. He couldn't react at once and shook his head and said, "This matter is impossible to solve. After all, everyone wants a division with a number of less than 20."
Hideki Tojo coughed lightly and said, "Is there such a possibility that the old division group with a number of less than 20 will be transferred from the Kanto Army sequence, but it is still commanded by Mijiro Umezu?"
"It's still under Mijiro Umezu? How is this possible?" Having said this, Mijiro Ichien finally reacted and said in surprise, "Tojo-kun, what do you mean is to let Ishihara Kanjiro Umezu transfer the position?"
"Isn't that good?" Tojo Hideki finally revealed his intentions and said, "After all, Ishihara Kanir was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle with Zhong Yi, whether in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone or after arriving in Myanmar. So who can guarantee that after this increase in troops, he will definitely be able to beat Zhong Yi?"
"This..." Hata Shunrok and Ichien Miyasuno were speechless in a while.
Of course, no one dares to give up this guarantee. Even if the Myanmar Front Army increases its troops to 500,000 divisions, it is not daring to assert that it will definitely win.
After all, the Japanese army can increase its troops, and the national army can also increase its troops.
Moreover, China's population is far greater than Japan, so the increase in troops will only lead to more.
Hideki Tojo said again: "Which Umetsun did a good job in the Kanto Army. Although he was responsible for certain joint and several liability in the defeat of the Nomenkan Battle, the main responsibility was not on him. This is a conclusion. So, why can't Umetsu Mijiro go to Myanmar to try it? Who dares to say that Umetsu Mijiro is definitely inferior to Ishihara Kanr?"
"But, but..." Hata Shunrokuro said, "Mijiro Umezu is the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army, and the Kanto Army is the same as the Southern Army. Let Umezu Mijiro be the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Front. Isn't it relegation?"
"Isn't this simple?" Hideki Tojo said, "Since the position of the Myanmar battlefield is so important, then simply upgrade the Myanmar Front to the Burmese Condemnation Army, which is at the same level as the Kanto Army, the Chinese Condemnation Army and the Southern Army. Then transferring Ishihara Kanr to the Kanto Army as commander-in-chief is also a reward for his previous hard work in Myanmar. This is reasonable in all aspects, Hatako and the Palace Highness of the Immortal Court, what do you think?"
Zairen nodded gently at Xianyuangong, which seemed feasible.
...
Yangon, Myanmar.
The Battle of Mandalay ended, and it was no longer necessary to continue confronting the national army near Mitela, so Ishihara Kanr retreated the Japanese army to the southern Binmana line.
The headquarters of the Myanmar Front and 25th Army was also moved back to Yangon.
In the war room of Yangon Command, Ishihara Kanir was looking into the map with a magnifying glass.
After all, he is almost sixty years old and his vision is severely degraded. He has reached the point where he must use a magnifying glass to see some details on the map clearly.
While I was surveying the map, I suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind me.
There was no need to look back at all. Just listening to the rhythmic footsteps, Ishihara Kanir had already determined that this was the Chief of Staff, and Tan Di Na Huaxiong walked into the war room.
"Gu Di, has the base camp replied?"
Ishihara Kaner asked without raising his head.
"Hayi." Gu Dinahua Xiong paused his head fiercely, and his tone was heavy.
Ishihara Kanir did not notice the abnormal tone of Huaxiong in Gu Di, and asked again: "How did the base camp respond? Have you agreed to the plan for increasing troops proposed?"
"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong paused again and said in a deep voice, "I agree."
"Yo Xi." Ishihara Kan's eyes finally moved away from the map and nodded happily, "The base camp finally agreed to our plan to increase troops."
"But..." Gu Di, Hua Xiong said, but he didn't know how to continue.
Ishihara Kaner then realized that Gu Di's Huaxiong looked strange. He asked in surprise: "Gu Di's husband, is there any other orders in the base camp besides agreeing to our military increase plan?"
"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong paused his head for the third time, then handed over a telegram in his hand, and said sadly, "Your Excellency Commander, you'd better read it yourself."
Ishihara Kanir reached out to take the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Ishihara Kaner couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Gu Di Na Huaxiong whispered: "Commander, you don't have to pay too much attention. The base camp transferred you from Myanmar to the Kwantung Army as commander-in-chief, which is also an affirmation of your previous performance in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and on the Myanmar battlefield. It shows that your contribution to the Empire and the Imperial Army, and His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp know... "
Before he finished speaking, Kamidi Na Huaxiong was interrupted by Ishihara Kaner.
Ishihara Kanji shook his head and said, "Kun Tani, I'm fine, no need to comfort me."
After pausing, Ishihara Kanji sighed again and said, "To be honest, I don't really resist at all that I can leave Myanmar and not have to play against this guy Zhong Yi."
Gu Di Na Huaxiong looked at Ishihara with a little surprised.
Huaxiong Gu Di really didn't expect that Ishihara Kaner, who was always proud, would say such a "disgusting word" that sounded like a bit more ambitions and destruction of his own power.
"Do you think I shouldn't say such things?" Ishihara smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, how can a proud and stubborn person like me easily admit defeat? However, the fact is that in the contest with Zhong Yi, I have never taken advantage of it. Not only me, but also Okamura-kun."
