"Mr. Lu, General. Lu, great victory, great victory..."

"Huh?" Lu Shan opened his eyes, pushed the quilt away, climbed off the bed, and came out wearing a military coat!

"Early early in the morning, Feng Yun, are you still letting me sleep?" Lu Shan slept very late. After only two hours of lying down, Feng Yun woke him up. "What are you robbing, who robbed me?"

"It's not a robbery, it's a great victory. The Iron Brigade Commander won the battle again!" Feng Yun said embarrassedly, but if he didn't report it, it might be worse later!

"Win the battle, Kailu won it?" Lu Shan raised his head in surprise.

"Well, after the Second Japanese Cavalry Regiment was annihilated, communication was interrupted. The Japanese army had no idea about the news. The Japanese and puppet troops in Kailu City regarded the Iron Brigade Commander as the Japanese army who returned in triumphantly and welcomed the city gate. As a result, we took Kailu with great effort!" Feng Yun explained excitedly.

"Okay, it's great. It's best to be able to take Kailu without any effort!" Lu Shan was naturally extremely happy when he heard this.

Kailu lost and regained it, whether it was the national war of resistance or the east resistance, it was quite beneficial. Kailu's geographical location was very important. Once it fell into the hands of the Japanese army, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Mr. Lu, should you notify Rehe of this news?"

"Have the news of Chifeng's loss not coming yet?" Lu Shan asked.

"Not yet, I see if Rehe deliberately concealed the news, or did Tang Yulin have some thoughts?"

"I think Tang Yulin wants to send troops to secretly recover Chifeng and announce the news!" Lu Shan asked, "What's the news about the garrison in Chengde?"

"No news has come here for a while!"

"Then wait a little longer, where has Gao Wenbin's detachment been?" Lu Shan asked.

"I have arrived in Kailu East, and I am expected to arrive in Kailu City this morning!" Feng Yun reached.

"Okay, order. After the Gao Wenbin detachment arrived in Kailu, he took over the military and political power of Kailu, and the Gao Wenbin detachment was reorganized into Kailu Detachment, taking on the task of defending Kailu, and established the Rehe Anti-Japanese Column of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance, and planned Tie Meng to be the commander-in-chief of the column, Gong Changhai as the deputy commander-in-chief, Gao Wenbin as the chief of staff, and Geng Jizhou as the deputy chief of staff..." Lu Shan said while asking Feng Yun to record that this had been discussed long ago. Just wait for Tie Meng to take Kailu, and the order to establish the Rehe Column was natural!

Although the Lu Portal opened and allowed the East Anti-Japanese to enter, when attacking the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Rehe Cavalry, it still encountered strong resistance from the Japanese army inside. Zhou Xuyang finally blasted a gap with a mortar before attacking in, causing considerable casualties!

The Japanese Army is known as the most powerful army in Asia. Although this sounds a bit arrogant, they do have the capital to be arrogant.

It is not said that one fights three. They do have such qualities and combat effectiveness. If they replace other troops to attack the headquarters of the Ninth Brigade today, they may suffer heavy casualties and may not be able to be taken down in a short period of time!

When Zhou Xuyang led the special operations brigade to rush in, the entire brigade could basically not find a complete house. The Japanese's bodies were everywhere, and it was rare to see them all!

I wonder if there is such an enemy. Or is it a great blessing in China?

Unfortunately, the enemy is strong, cruel and extremely willful. Fortunately, it is because of such an enemy that forces us to always be vigilant and not to be worn away by peace and peace!

Only powerful enemies can promote your continuous progress!

Only after taking down the Japanese command center, the entire Kailu City was truly in the hands of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War. Just two days later, Kailu returned to the hands of the Chinese!

Such news reached the Kwantung Army Headquarters. After receiving the news, Koiki Aki was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground without standing firmly!

Kailu was occupied by the Chinese army again, which means that the mission of Seishiro Itagaki to intercept the reinforcements of the Chinese army failed!

Mission failure usually means death. When contacting the sudden interruption of previous contact, Koi Iso Kan Aki has a very ominous premonition!

Seishiro Itagaki is not an ordinary master. He also has a father-in-law who was once a general of the army. He can be said to have a very deep background and a future prospect that is limitless. He will never stop at a small colonel!

It may be difficult to reach the level of the marshal, but there is absolutely no surprise to the Lieutenant General. If such an elite of the Imperial Japanese Army falls, it will cause an uproar!

What's more, this time Seishiro Itagaki was carrying out a secret mission. If he was shot dead or captured by the Chinese, it would be even worse!

The international community has become very dissatisfied with the Japanese zf. It pretends to be the Xing'an army and raids Kailu. This is no less than going to war with China, and it still has a war without declaration!

In this way, even the show is saved. If China seizes the handle, Japan's international reputation may be terrible!

With such important news, Koi Akira dared not hide anything from Muto Nobuyoshi, otherwise he would have to bear the fault.

Muto Nobuyi was so proud last night that he asked two geishas to accompany him in one breath. He was sleeping soundly now and was still sitting in a beautiful and beautiful dream!

The dream was interrupted by Koiki Akira, and General Muto was of course very unhappy. His old face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

"Xiao Jijun, don't you know that disturbing others' good dreams is an immoral act?"

"Hay, Commander, I have no choice but to do so. Look at this telegram, it was sent from Kailu!"

"Oh, Kailu, did Colonel Itagaki succeed in victory?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.

"No, it was Kailu that was captured by the Chinese army!" Koiki Akira lowered his head awkwardly.

"What, Baga, when did this happen?" Muto Nobuyi suddenly revealed his angry forehead, and the "aunt" in his temple was beating, as if a beast was about to choose a person to eat!

"Just this morning, this is the most farewell message sent by the Kailu defenders. The Songyuan Squadron left behind in Kailu has been broken!"

"Baga!" Muto Nobuyoshi cursed angrily. The news was bad for him and couldn't be broken any more!

"Mr. Commander, I am worried that this failure of the operation will bring us a very big passive effect. Once the Chinese people catch the evidence, the international community will inevitably become dissatisfied with the empire, and we cannot completely anger European and American countries now, so..."

"What do you want to do?" Muto Nobuyoshi glanced at Koi Iso Kanakami with a cold look.

"No matter what kind of evidence the Chinese people throw, we will never admit that we did it!" Koi Iso Kyoto said.

"That's a cavalry of a corps, not a cavalry of a small corps, Koi-jun, do you think we can completely cover up this matter?"

"We can rebuild the Second Cavalry Regiment!" Koiki Aki gritted his teeth.

"No, I can acquiesce to your secret action, but I must report this matter, otherwise my military career will end here. As for what the base camp will do, it depends on them!"

"Hayi!"

Tokyo, Prime Minister's Residence.

Prime Minister Saito Mi, Lu Prime Minister Saito Araki, Mario Prime Minister Keisuke Okada, Foreign Minister Hirota Hirota Hirota...

Cabinet members are discussing whether Japan wants to withdraw from the League of Nations, and the mainland and the sea are inextricable. At this time, the Prime Minister's Secretary suddenly knocked in and whispered a few words in the Prime Minister's ear. Saito Mi's expression suddenly changed!

Saito Mi was born in the navy and naturally had some preference for the navy. The Japanese army and navy had many contradictions due to military expenditure and priority development, especially since the Meiji Restoration. Japan attached great importance to maritime power, and even the whole country tightened its waistlines to build warships. The emperor himself donated his own allowance!

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan defeated the powerful Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty. It became a maritime power in one fell swoop. The development of the Japanese navy was never out of control. The Japanese army lagged behind due to insufficient investment. Although it had first-class soldiers, it had third-rate weapons and equipment. In addition to bullying neighbors in Asia, it was simply different and inequality!

The dispute between land and sea in the Japanese army came from this, and even for the sake of struggle, the army had to have the army and the navy, and the army was not to be outdone.

This kind of competition is also beneficial to some extent, but it is not uncommon to waste it for the sake of competition!

"Mr. Saito, what happened?"

"There was a bad news from Manchuria that one of our cavalry corps was annihilated by the Chinese army!"

"Annihilation, how is this possible?" Sadao Araki jumped up and his eyes widened.

"I'm still unclear about the specific situation. Only when Commander Muto's detailed telegram can I figure out what's going on!"

"What's going on with the Kanto Army? I don't seem to have heard of any news that they deserve to celebrate in recent times!" Okada Keisuke said with a disdainful smile.

"Okada-kun, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. One or two failures do not mean eternal failure. The powerful Japanese army will tear all enemies in front of it!" Sadao Araki stood up angrily and left.

"Araki Jun, what are you doing?"

"I will do the Army Department and make the whole thing clear!"

"I'll go too..." Foreign Minister Hirota Hirota also stood up, bowed to Saito Shi, and then turned around and walked outside!

"His Excellency Saito, I heard that the Army Department plans to expand its military equipment and form a new division. I wonder if this is the case?"

"Okada-kun, the army has only seventeen standing divisions, which is not enough for the vast territory occupied by the Great Japanese Empire today. In the next two years, at least three to five divisions will be expanded!"

"Where is our navy going to add three to five warships?"

"Okada-kun, building a navy is different from the army, and building ships is different from guns and cannons. Given the current situation, the navy still develops according to the original plan!" Saito Mitsuki said.

"No, we need to add three warships to the original basis, at least destroyers or aircraft carriers with a total of more than 10,000 tons!"

"I'm afraid the national strength is unsustainable!"

"That's your business, Your Excellency, according to the empire's strategy, the navy is preferred over the army. Therefore, we require the addition of naval ships to protect the interests of the Great Japanese Empire at sea!"

"Okay, you let me think about it..."

"Then thank you, Prime Minister!"

Emperor, palace.

Hirohito knelt on the futon, his expression calm, as if he was praying for something!

At this time, the chief guard walked to the door, knelt down, lay on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Army Minister Sadaki Araki is asking for a visit!"

"What are he here to do?" Hirohito asked motionlessly with his eyes closed.

"It is said that there are important military affairs reports!"

"Let him come in after I take a shower!" Hirohito stood up, turned around, and ordered ruthlessly and indifferently.

"yes!"

Half an hour later, after taking a shower, Hirohito put on his clothes and walked out under the custody of the palace maids.

Sadao Araki, dressed in the uniform of an army general, walked in wearing white socks and knelt on a futon about five or six meters away from Hirohito!

"My destiny Araki bows to Your Majesty!"

"No gift, tell me, what's the matter?" Hirohito ordered lightly.

"Thank you!" said Sadao Araki, "Your Majesty, the situation in Manchuria is becoming increasingly complex, and the possibility of war rekindling is increasing. I just received the news that some of the officers below, regardless of the empire's strategy, launched a provocation against the Chinese army. This is very dangerous. We are not ready to fight a comprehensively expanded war with China, so I feel that they must stop their impulsive and stupid behavior!"

"Well, what you said makes sense. I don't know what you want to do?" Hirohito nodded. As the supreme leader of the country, although Hirohito had not been to the front line in person, he still had a rough judgment on Japan's national strength and military strength. Although he also wanted to start a war now, the time was not ripe!

"The Kanto Army's actions are all caused by the condolences of the senior leaders of the Kanto Army. Therefore, I think that General Muto has an unshirkable responsibility!" said Sadao Araki.
