    The main difference between the Japanese base camp and the Southern Army is the specific scale of the troop increase.

    Terauchi Juichi and Ishihara Kanji insisted that the Burmese Front Army should increase from the current two corps and eight divisions to five corps and twenty divisions!

    This means that a Burmese front army has more than 500,000 troops.

    Japanese Army Chief of General Staff Kanin Miyazahito and Army Minister Shunroku Hata felt that Juichi Terauchi and Kanji Ishihara must be crazy. You have 20 divisions and 500,000 people for the Burmese Front Army, so the Southern Army should add more troops.  how many people?  How many more people should be added to the entire Chinese condemnation army?

    Although Japan has fully transitioned to a wartime system, it cannot afford such squandering.

    Yes, Kanin Gong Zaijin and Hata Shunroku just felt that this was a squandering, a waste, a waste of the empire's precious human, material and other war resources.

    The second disagreement between the two sides is which troops should be dispatched to the battlefield in Myanmar.

    Kanin Miyazahito and Hata Shunroku insisted that the newly formed division should be transferred to Myanmar. However, Terauchi Juichi and Ishihara Kanji believed that the newly formed division could not match the training and soldier quality of the divisions with the number less than 20.  Compared with the regiment, he insisted that the newly formed division should be transferred to Manchuria.

    Then transfer the old divisions of the Kwantung Army with numbers within 20 to the Burma battlefield.

    As a result, the news leaked out somehow, which aroused fierce opposition from the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro. Umezu Yoshijiro even directly said that he wanted to switch with Ishihara Kanji.

    And Yoshijiro Umezu doesn¡¯t need 500,000 people, he only needs 300,000!

    So now the situation has expanded, involving the Kwantung Army.

    Shunroku Hata said: "Your Highness, I insist that fifteen divisions is the limit!"

    "Yes, I think so too." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said with deep understanding, "Even if the China Expeditionary Force increases its troops again, the total strength will only be 500,000. According to the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides in the Wuhan battlefield and the Zhejiang and Fujian battlefields  , the combat power ratio of one to three is relatively credible, but we might as well be more conservative and calculate based on the ratio of one to two."

    After a pause, Xianyuan Gong Zairen continued: "If the combat strength comparison is one to two, the Myanmar Front Army only needs a maximum of 12 divisions and 250,000 people to gain an absolute advantage! Now we will  The strength of the Burmese Front Army has expanded to fifteen divisions, which is already a crushing advantage."

    Shunroku Hata said: "But the Temple Cabinet and Kanji Ishihara insist on increasing the number of troops to 20 divisions. What should we do?"

    "This matter is actually not the most difficult thing to handle." Hanyuan Gongzai Ren said, "As for the size of the troops, I believe that His Majesty and the cabinet will eventually support us. The most difficult thing is to dispatch which troops to go to Myanmar, because the troop transfer matter  , Umezu Yoshijiro had very strong opinions on the Southern Army and was also very dissatisfied with us."

    "Sodesnai." Hata Shunroku said with deep understanding.

    While he was talking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

    Shunroku Hata frowned suddenly, who dared to disturb him at this time?

    Just when he was about to scold him, he saw Tojo Hideki coming in.

    "Tojo-kun?" Shunroku Hata asked in shock, "Why are you here?"

    Kanin Miya Zaijin also knelt down from the tatami and stood up, bowing his head to Hideki Tojo.

    "Under Kanin Palace, there is Tojo-kun." Tojo Hideki paused slightly to the two of them, and then said, "His Majesty just summoned me to meet at the Imperial Palace. He asked you to reach an agreement with the Southern Army on the troop reinforcement plan as soon as possible.  Views."

    When Kanin Miya Zaihito and Hata Shunroku heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Does His Majesty the Emperor support the Southern Army?

    "Tojo-kun, has there been any change in the situation in Myanmar?" Shunroku Hata frowned.

    Tojo Hideki sighed and said: "Hata-kun, you must not know that the India-Burma Highway has been opened to traffic, so there is not much time left for us."

    Shunroku Hata clearly didn¡¯t believe it and questioned: ¡°The India-Myanmar Highway has been built so quickly?¡±

    Xianyuan Gong Zairen also didn¡¯t believe it very much: ¡°Yes, in the early years, a staff officer from the Ministry of War also went to Myanmar for a staff trip, and found that there are many river valleys, swamps and primitive jungles in Myanmar, and it is extremely difficult to build roads. From India  The terrain between Imphal and Myitkyina in northern Myanmar is particularly complex, and there are no conditions for building a road."

    "But the India-Myanmar Highway is indeed open to traffic." Tojo Hideki said with a sigh, "This is information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is absolutely no way it can be wrong."

    Hata Shunroku and Kanin Miyazaihito looked at each other and shut up obediently.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The roads are all open to traffic, and His Majesty the Emperor's preference is very obvious, so there is no room for discussion on this matter. We can only handle it according to the wishes of the Southern Army.

    At that moment, Shunroku Hata said: "Then according to the troop increase plan proposed by the Southern Army, the strength of the Myanmar Front Army will be increased from the current two corps and eight divisions to five corps and twenty divisions."

    He paused here and then continued: "However, there is still a problem."

    Tojo Hideki frowned and asked, "Is it a matter of Kwantung deploying various divisions of the Kwantung Army?"

    "Yes." Shunroku Hata said with a wry smile, "Ishihara Wanji called upon the Kwantung Army's 1st, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 14th veteran divisions within 20 numbers.  And the reason is also very good. It is believed that the Soviet Union is now completely trapped in a bitter battle with the German army and can no longer have the energy to take care of the Far East, so it is no longer necessary to continue to station such a huge and heavy troop group in Manchuria."

    Tojo Hideki nodded and said: "This judgment is not unreasonable."

    Although the two people do not deal with each other, this does not mean that Tojo Hideki will oppose everything Ishihara Kanji does.

    "But Umezu Yoshijiro has a strong opinion." Kanin Miyazaihito said, "Although the Soviet Union is now locked in a bitter battle with the German army in the European battlefield, Manchuria is now the empire's production base. Once the Kwantung Army's troops are drawn away in large numbers,  Will it lead to a recurrence of the situation in Manchuria?¡±

    "Yes." Hata Junroku said, "After all, the anti-Japanese elements in Manchuria have always existed!"

    Tojo Hideki waved his hand and said: "Hata-kun, the anti-Japanese elements in Manchuria are nothing to worry about."

    "The anti-Japanese elements in Manchuria are indeed nothing to worry about." Hanyuan Gong Zairen said, "What I am worried about is that once the strength of the Kwantung Army drops to a critical point, what if the government or the Communist Party sends troops into Manchuria?  This possibility completely exists, and once it occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.¡±

    Tojo Hideki frowned and said: "Although the base camp said it would draw troops from the Kwantung Army, it does not just draw troops away without replenishing them. After all, there will still be corresponding divisions to replenish them." (Remember the website address of this website: www.  hlnovel.com
