    In fact, Emperor Hirohito's entanglement was nothing more than taking advantage of everything. A donkey chewing sugar cane is sweet at both ends. On the one hand, he wanted the Soviet army to severely attack Tang Qiuli; on the other hand, he wanted to seize the Soviet Union's land in the Far East.  , it¡¯s a matter of having your cake and eat it too. Hirohito has a huge appetite and wants to swallow it all, but he doesn¡¯t have that good appetite. Once the fighting starts in the Outer Xing¡¯an Mountains, the two transferred Soviet troops will inevitably return.  aid.

    He wandered around like a donkey for an unknown number of times. Seeing that more than an hour had passed, it was already around nine o'clock in the night on September 23. If he didn't make a decision, all opportunities would be gone. Hirohito's eyes lit up.  , he thought of his imperial brother, the clever and scheming Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace. Why not announce him to the palace and let the two brothers plan something, instead of being alone here and frowning.

    Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito ordered the attendants, "Pass on my decree to announce that Prince Hitoshi will enter the palace at night!"

    A car from the palace pulled Prince Zai Ren, who was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, out of the hot and fragrant quilt, and flew through the dark streets of Tokyo before entering the palace in a flash.

    As soon as Prince Zaihi arrived, it was impossible for Emperor Hirohito to pass the secret telegram from the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief General Nanjiro to his younger brother. Looking at the telegram, Prince Zaihi felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart.

    According to the rules, I am the Chief of General Staff and am responsible for mobilizing all the armed forces of the Empire of Japan. Nanjiro's secret message should first go to the General Staff Headquarters and then be reported to His Majesty the Emperor. There is no reason to directly send it to the Imperial Palace. It is too much for military intelligence.  Urgent, did Nanjiro ignore the rules, or did he do it intentionally and didn't take himself seriously at all?

    Zai Ren has a dense mind and a vicious personality.  After crushing and analyzing such a small matter, the status of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, in his mind was put into question.

    Seeing that Zai Ren was silent after reading the telegram, Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but urge: "Zai Ren, you are my imperial younger brother. If you have any opinions, please let me know. You might as well just say it, I will bear all the trouble."  "

    Zai Ren thought for a while and said carefully: "Brother Emperor, this matter is not trivial. Nanjiro's suggestion seems reasonable and seizes the opportunity, but if you think about it carefully, it ignores one of the most important issues. That is, China.  The devil Tang Qiuli and the Soviets, under the current situation, are the main enemies of our Empire of Japan. The answer is simple, the China devil Tang Qiuli. "

    Emperor Hirohito listened to Zai Ren¡¯s words.  As soon as his eyes were focused, he already knew what Zai Ren was thinking.  It was just that he was unwilling to give in. Moreover, Zai Ren's analysis was not quite in place yet, so he motioned to Zai Ren with his eyes to continue talking.

    As soon as Zai Ren looked at the eyes of his brother, the emperor, he knew that his words were too simple and did not fully convince him, so he continued: "My brother, when promoting the imperial military, you must consider everything carefully, but since the beginning of the China War, the Tang Dynasty  Qiu Li has indeed become the empire's number one enemy. Our great national policy of occupying China was completely destroyed because of this person. The imperial army suffered repeated losses and many famous generals fell, all related to this person. "

    "The Indochina Peninsula also fell into the hands of this man. On the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, the imperial army fought against the British, American, Indian and Australian troops for a long time. It was not because of Ito Yanzaburo's incompetence, nor how powerful the Allied forces were.  The main reason behind this is that Tang Qiuli's naval fleet maintained the logistics supply line for the Allies, and continuously transported soldiers and supplies from the West Indian continent to the Australian battlefield through the East Indian Ocean. "

    "In all these cases, wherever the Imperial Army of the Imperial Japanese Army fights, the shadow of this China devil is indispensable. Tang Qiuli has become the biggest obstacle to the emperor's brother's great cause of coexistence and common prosperity in Greater East Asia. Unless this person is removed, the empire will never have peace.  !¡±

    Emperor Hirohito nodded frequently. Encouraged by his good brother, Prince Hirohito became even more elated and further elaborated: "Soviet Russia's use of troops in Outer Mongolia is great news for our empire. If it weren't for  Because the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Front Army were in a stalemate on the outer Xing'an Mountains, and most of Russia's territory in the Far East fell into the hands of the empire, the relationship between us and the Soviet Union reached a point where reconciliation and compromise were impossible.  At this level, there was no possibility of temporary cooperation. The ministers originally wanted to join forces with the Soviet army to eliminate part of Tang Qiuli's military strength."

    "According to the analysis of the international situation, the focus of Soviet Russia's defense is in its European part, which is beyond the reach of the Far East. Therefore, I believe that the empire can take advantage of it. Once our ally the Germans start to attack Soviet Russia, it will be the last resort.  When a good opportunity comes, the Soviet Union and Russia cannot take care of both sides and will inevitably abandon one direction. At that time, we will order the Kwantung Army to take the offensive and face attacks from both sides by the Empire and the Germans. In order to avoid the fate of national subjugation, there is no need to worry about the Soviet Union's uncompromising attitude.  The vast tracts of fertile soil in the Far East??, it was naturally included in the territory of the empire.  "

    "But Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, is different. His actions are aimed at the Empire of Japan. More than 300,000 troops are stationed in the Western Liaoning Corridor. His sinister intentions for Manchuria are obvious. If we are like the Soviet Union,  Starting a large-scale war at this time would play into Tang Qiuli's plan. It would be better to let Soviet Russia and Tang Qiuli lose both sides, which would also be of great benefit to our future attack on Tang Qiuli's power in the north. "

    "Therefore, my brother suggested that not only should we not approve Nanjiro's request for war, but we should strictly order all the troops of the Kwantung Army not to act rashly, and we can even make some gestures, such as voluntarily giving up some unimportant areas, to show that we  Stalin's attitude allowed Stalin to confidently mobilize the Soviet troops in the Far East to fight Tang Qiuli. It would be best if both sides suffered losses. If Tang Qiuli won, his military power in the north would also be greatly depleted. For our great Japan  For the empire, there are only advantages and no disadvantages:"

    "If the empire and Soviet Russia fight at this time and contain Zhukov's reinforcements, the Soviet army in Outer Mongolia will undoubtedly be defeated. The direct consequence will be a disastrous defeat for Soviet Russia in the east, and the empire will fight with Tang Qiu  Li directly faced Tang Qiuli. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. The strength of the Kwantung Army alone cannot compete with Tang Qiuli. In order to prevent the Kwantung Army from facing the risk of failure, the empire has to mobilize reinforcements from other strategic directions. This will affect  This is what I have in mind for our overall strategy. The specific matters still need to be decided by the Emperor!"

    Prince Zaihi's long speech was well-founded, meticulous and well-organized. He analyzed the pros and cons in a clear and logical way. People couldn't help but be unconvinced. Hearing this, Emperor Hirohito was dazzled, as if he had the effect of enlightenment, and he understood in his heart.  It's a bit cheap and looks tempting, but it actually bites you when you pick it up. In terms of overall situation and strategic vision, Nanjiro is much inferior to his imperial brother.

    Emperor Hirohito smiled happily and said: "Zairen, I will adopt your opinion. In this way, you will immediately, in the name of the General Staff, strictly order the Kwantung Army's troops not to act rashly, and implement your plan step by step.  It has to be clever and not showy, let Stalin feel it, go for it!¡±

    Prince Zairen gave a deep bow and then left. Emperor Hirohito's face turned gloomy. His younger brother became more and more scheming and thoughtful. In this way, how could he feel at ease, even though he would not be in trouble with the palace?  However, he had to guard against the sudden change. Hirohito called over a young attendant and whispered a few words. The attendant left in a hurry. Hirohito was in a daze for a while before going to the palace.

    After receiving the order from the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp, General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, although he was deeply reluctant, he did not dare not to execute the order, because the sentence in the order was very lethal, "This plan has been submitted  His Majesty the Emperor gives his royal approval.¡±

    Therefore, Nanjiro could only helplessly drool while watching the Soviet troops change defenses without any concern and selectively abandon some areas. At this point, Nanjiro was full of slander towards Emperor Hirohito.  Every inch of land in the Xing'an Mountains was obtained with the blood and lives of the Kwantung Army soldiers. If you give up, you will give up. General Nanjiro just doesn't understand. "Could it be that the base camp, including His Majesty the Emperor, didn't realize that this is  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

    The actions of the Japanese Kwantung Army were naturally on tenterhooks and they kept a close eye on their opponents. Zhukov, who was afraid that the Japanese would come out to cause trouble, found out. While being surprised, he immediately reported the situation to the Soviet General Staff in an urgent manner.

    September 23rd, Moscow, Soviet Union, Kremlin. Stalin, who had just fallen asleep, was carefully woken up by the service staff. He was wearing pajamas. When he arrived in the living room, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff  Director General Bessovsky was already in the living room, waiting anxiously.

    After reading Zhukov's telegram, Stalin showed a reserved smile. The situation in the Xing'an Mountains in the Far East was just as he expected. The Japanese were very knowledgeable and did not come out to cause trouble. They were afraid that they would not understand and made gestures. However, this was temporary.  Yes, after the Chinese Tang Qiuli is dealt with, the next step will be the Japanese. How can the Soviet territory be allowed to be occupied by the Japanese for a long time!

    In the heart of Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, he only had awe of the leader's far-sighted vision. Thinking of his previous worries about gains and losses, he seemed petty. He asked respectfully: "Comrade Stalin, from which perspective should the General Staff  , call Zhukov back?"

    Stalin thought for a moment and said: "Order Zhukov to take advantage of this rare opportunity to free up his hands to support Kulykin's troops, and then transfer two infantry corps and corresponding artillery and tank troops from the Far East Front as the third  The second batch of troops to support the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, four infantry corps, with a strength of nearly 200,000, is enough!"

    Also on September 23rd? Late at night, the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division, the intelligence network in the Far East, captured the mobilization of Soviet troops and the unusual actions of the Japanese Kwantung Army. A secret telegram flew to Kulun, Outer Mongolia, and was in the hands of Colonel Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Division.
