    Hirohito is very satisfied with Tojo Hideki's willingness to take the blame.

    "Tojo-kun, since you became Prime Minister, your work in all aspects has been outstanding." Hirohito immediately affirmed Tojo's performance during this period.

    Hearing this, Tojo Hideki breathed a sigh of relief.

    The position of Prime Minister is not so easy to occupy.

    It is necessary to satisfy all interest groups as well as the royal family. Once the interests are not balanced well, it is easy to suffer backlash from interested parties and step down sadly.

    So Hirohito¡¯s affirmation was very important to Tojo Hideki.

    At that moment, Tojo Hideki then asked: "Your Majesty, regarding the war situation in Myanmar, what are your next orders?"

    "I don't have any intentions. After all, I don't understand the situation on the front line." Hirohito waved his hand and then said, "As for what should be done next about the war situation in Myanmar, it is better to listen to the opinions of Terauchi-kun and Ishihara-kun."

    "Hai." Although Tojo Hideki was reluctant, he could only agree honestly.

    Mandalay, Burma War Zone Commander¡¯s Department.

    Zhong Yi finally got a good sleep.

    I slept for a full sixteen hours and didn¡¯t finally wake up until the evening of the next day.

    After hurriedly washing up, Zhong Yi walked into the war room radiantly, only to see Wang Geng and Stilwell already there, and even Wen Yingxing had rushed over from Myitkyina.

    "Zi Ren, this is the congratulatory message from the principal." Wen Yingxing handed over a piece of telegram and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your victory in the Battle of Mandalay, but"

    After a pause, Wen Yingxing continued: "The principal also reminded you very thoughtfully that the expeditionary force only defeated a Japanese division in the first stage of the Battle of Mandalay. The Japanese Burmese Front Army still has strength. Let us make sure to improve it."  Be alert and beware of the little devil¡¯s counterattack.¡±

    "Haha." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "This is the style of our principal."

    "No." Wang Geng also smiled and agreed, "The principal specifically pointed out that we only defeated one division of the Japanese army. The main purpose was to remind us that this was just a small victory. Let us not be proud and must be careful.  Be arrogant and guard against impatience, and strive to defeat or even annihilate more Japanese troops, hahahaha."

    Zhong Yi and Wen Yingxing started laughing.

    Can they still understand Principal Chang¡¯s thoughts?

    This is because they are unwilling to admit the fact that the Chinese Expeditionary Force has won the Battle of Mandalay.

    "Perhaps from Principal Chang's point of view, it seems a bit incredible that the Japanese army lost a battle after only defeating one division.

    Zhong Yi and the others can understand Principal Chang¡¯s thoughts, but Stilwell cannot.

    There is no ambiguity in the American mind, yes means, no means no.

    So Stilwell immediately became unhappy and said, "This is no small victory."

    After a pause, Stilwell continued: "Although they only defeated one division of the Japanese army this time, they directly disrupted the offensive of the Japanese Burmese front army, causing the situation on the entire Burmese battlefield to shift from a defensive operation to a stalemate. This is not only for the  Myanmar is a major turning point even for the world¡¯s anti-Japanese battlefield!¡±

    This is not Stilwell¡¯s personal evaluation, but the evaluation of US President Roosevelt.

    After learning about the victory of Mandalay, Roosevelt immediately sent a congratulatory message and spoke highly of the victory in the Battle of Mandalay.

    The reason why Roosevelt spoke so highly of the Battle of Mandalay was because the Allied forces performed so poorly in other battlefields, with the Myanmar battlefield almost becoming the only bright spot.

    The results of the Battle of Mandalay were not great.

    But the strategic significance is extraordinary.

    ¡­¡­

    Principal Chang has different opinions on this.

    "Extraordinary strategic significance?" Principal Chang frowned and asked, "What strategic significance?"

    In the study room of Yunxiu Tower, Principal Chang raised questions in front of several close aides.

    "What strategic significance can it have?" Principal Chang snorted, "Isn't it just the defeat of a Japanese division? And it was only a defeat rather than a total annihilation. What significance can it have?"

    ¡°Didn¡¯t the number of Japanese troops wiped out in the three Zhejiang-Fujian battles be greater?¡±

    "Can the strategic significance of the Battle of Mandalay be greater than that of the three Zhejiang-Fujian battles?"

    "Principal, this is different." Zhang Zhizhong whispered, "Although more Japanese troops were annihilated in the three Zhejiang-Fujian battles, they were limited to real conditions.In the end, they were unable to launch a counterattack at all, but the Battle of Mandalay was different. After winning the Battle of Mandalay, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was able to quickly enter the strategic counteroffensive stage.  "

    "Nonsense." Principal Chang said, "After defeating one division of the Japanese army, can we move to the strategic counterattack stage? Ishihara Wanji's Burmese front army has two armies and eight elite divisions! Just  After losing a division, the Japanese Burmese Front immediately lost its offensive capabilities? Are you kidding?"

    "The principal is right, this is simply a joke." Chen Shi said, "Ishihara Wanji's Burmese Front Army only lost one division. What's more, after the Japanese base camp learns the news, it may increase its troops again.  Even if the expeditionary force¡¯s new recruits are in place by then, what will happen?¡±

    "That's right." He Yingpei also agreed, "Half a million recruits is a lot, but they are just recruits after all. They cannot be compared with the overall quality of Japanese soldiers. Therefore, it is nonsense and bragging to switch to a counterattack on the Burmese battlefield.  That¡¯s all!¡±

    "Okay, that's what I mean by humble position." Zhang Zhizhong smiled lightly and gave up the argument on his own initiative.

    "Xia Chong can't say anything about ice. They are really a bunch of idiots, and they don't have any strategic vision at all."

    ¡­¡­

    Principal Chang and several close aides could not see the significance of this battle, but Ishihara Wanji was very clear about it.

    Like Ishihara Kanji, who also saw the great strategic significance of this battle was the commander of the Japanese North China Front, Okamura Neiji.

    Therefore, when Ishihara Kanji took an emergency flight to the Southern Army Headquarters in Singapore, the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army Juichi Terauchi showed Okamura Neiji's telegram to Ishihara Kanji.

    "Ishihara-kun, this is called heroes seeing the same thing." Terauchi Shouichi said, "You and Okamura-kun think of one another."

    Ishihara Kanji was not complacent because of Juichi Terauchi¡¯s praise. He frowned and said, ¡°Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I cannot overstate the defeat of Mandalay this time!¡±

    "I know." Terauchi Juichi said solemnly, "Although the losses in this battle are not large, the political significance cannot be underestimated. This may really affect the trend of the entire world war."

    Ishihara Wan'er then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief, please take note."

    Terauchi Shou nodded, and then said: "Then now, let us have a serious discussion about what to do next in the Burmese battlefield, right?"

    "Hai!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
