    Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff, did not understand the division commander's calm attitude and did not take the important matter of 100,000 Italian troops stationed in the Japanese archipelago at all. However, Zhao Yuhe could not be blamed for being nervous.  For people of this era, the pressure that foreigners and the armies of foreign countries have brought to the Chinese people is the result of nearly a hundred years of accumulation, instinctive vigilance and heaviness, and Italy is one of them.

    "What are you looking at me doing?" Seeing Zhao Yuhe's thirst for knowledge, Tang Qiuli interrupted his thoughts and said, "Go ahead and do what you have to do, don't hang around in front of me!"

    Seeing what the teacher said, Zhao Yuhe had no choice but to swallow the words when they came to his lips and left full of doubts.

    Five days later, General Feisald, who was full of confidence and had a savior mentality, led more than 100,000 Italian soldiers who were also very confident and set foot on Japanese soil. He looked proud at the welcoming scene of huge crowds of people on the pier.  With a smile, he told the chief of staff: "Order all soldiers to show the most majestic side of the Italian Royal Army. Remember, we Italians are gentlemen!"

    Regarding the arrival of the Italians, the Japanese received them with the highest standards. Emperor Hirohito personally went to the port of Yokohama to greet them. They were accompanied by all the senior officials in the base camp. As an old acquaintance of Admiral Feisald, Koichi Mineuchi,  They were busy in front and back, making arrangements to introduce each other.

    Emperor Hirohito held a grand banquet in the palace to entertain officers of the Italian reinforcements major general level and above. During the banquet, Emperor Hirohito did not hesitate to use the most beautiful words and enthusiastically praise the Italian brothers, his eager-to-do and righteous allies.  Stay away from Mussolini.  Great and selfless Italian boys, a beautiful and powerful country on the Mediterranean.

    It made Hirohito himself look like he was talking to Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy.  They are just good friends for many years, in fact.  These two of the world's three fascist giants, so far, only know each other's names, and have never even met each other.

    The enthusiasm of the Japanese and the delicious oriental cuisine intoxicated Feisald and his senior generals. The words of praise from Japan¡¯s supreme ruler even more intoxicated the Italians, who definitely felt elated.  Of course, petite and charming Japanese girls are also indispensable in the banquet room, making these Italians with excess male hormones feel that coming to Japan is almost like paradise.

    As Mussolini¡¯s plenipotentiary, General Feisald¡¯s speech was simple and confident. He did not mention a word about the content of the agreement between Italy and Japan.  He did not ask the Japanese to sign any agreement on the spot, because it was unnecessary. He knew very well that the Japanese would never dare to deny it.  Otherwise, Italy's anger will be unbearable.

    At the end of his speech, General Feisald said gracefully: "We, the Italian army, came to Japan this time to fight. We came to solve the problems of our allies. Therefore, we sincerely ask His Majesty the Emperor and everyone to be kind to us."  We welcome simplicity in everything, and it¡¯s not too late to celebrate until we defeat the Chinese!¡±

    Admiral Feisald's words naturally won a burst of thunderous applause. The welcome banquet did not last long. This was the proposal of His Excellency the Admiral. During the war, everything was kept simple and there was no more time.  Wasted on the wine table.

    When leaving the palace, His Excellency General Feisald's car had two more Japanese girls who could be regarded as characters. Other senior officers also returned with their beauties. This was carefully prepared by the Japanese for their allies.  The gift was also the real reason why he was in a hurry to end the banquet. Your Excellency, the elegant and elegant general, was very grateful to the Japanese ally for their carefulness and consideration.

    The Italian left with the Japanese beauty in his arms, leaving behind a messy banquet scene. The smile on Emperor Hirohito's face completely disappeared. He was filled with panic. As the majestic Emperor of the Japanese Empire, he, for the sake of a small  The Italian admiral personally hosted the welcome banquet, trying to please Italy, offering nice words for free and sending beauties as gifts, just to please Italy.

    The person he came to greet in person should be Hitler or Mussolini at the level of head of state. As for the son-in-law Feisald, he was just a small army general. It was enough for Minai to be responsible for the reception.  When did the Japanese Empire fall to this level? Emperor Hirohito felt humiliated and sat blankly for a while. He asked the attendant to call Koichi Yoneuchi.

    "My dear Minai, tell me truthfully, are the Italians really responsible? Are they really the opponent of the soldiers under the devil's command?" Emperor Hirohito stared at Koichi Minai with a sullen face and a tired look like a knife.  , asked nervously.

    Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, who had a cheerful face just now, suddenly clouded up in the blink of an eye, and even called himself over. The impulsive Koichi Yonai immediately understood what was going on, but Hirohito's question made him even more embarrassed.

    After murmuring for a while, MiAfter careful consideration, he said: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether the Italian army is as brave and good at fighting as they said. After all, the imperial army has never fought in coordination with them. But one thing is that the victory of the empire successfully conquered Italy."  People have been dragged into this war between us and the Chinese. After that, even if the Italians want to stop, it will not be easy! "

    In fact, Koichi Mineuchi's answer was simply to avoid the truth. It did not solve Emperor Hirohito's inner doubts, but it scratched his itch and successfully tied the Italians onto the Japanese Empire's chariot. It was a huge  Victory, it no longer matters whether the Italian soldiers can fight.

    The greedy Mussolini would not have watched more than 100,000 Italian soldiers being wiped out by the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in Japan. Naturally, he would receive a steady stream of blood transfusions. It would be impossible to stop and throw away. Thinking of this, Hirohito  A satisfied smile appeared on the emperor's sallow face, and he said: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear Minai. If we can defeat the Chinese invasion this time, you will be the first to contribute!"

    Minai Hikaru happily left, and Hirohito called over to Prince Zai Ren. He was still very relieved about this scheming younger brother. Hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers were added out of thin air. He still had to ask what Zai Ren's plan was.  Zai Ren is the person in charge of local defense.

    When Zai Ren arrived, Hirohito asked directly without any nonsense: "Zai Ren, how are you going to deploy the more than 100,000 Italian soldiers?"

    Zai Ren smiled slyly and replied: "Brother Emperor, since the Italians are full of confidence, I am going to put them in the most advanced positions at the east and west ends of Honshu Island to block the landing force of the China Division.  If you can, please work harder! I think the Italians will be happy to show their strength!"

    Hirohito laughed at that time. This cunning brother wanted to place the Italians at a strategic position for the China Division to cross the sea and land. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use the Italian soldiers as cannon fodder to weaken the offensive spirit of the China Division soldiers.  As long as you understand it in your heart, of course you won't tell it.

    "Okay, go ahead and deploy, but don't be too obvious. Provide what you should provide as much as possible. After all, the Italians are here to reinforce us!" Zai Ren looked at his brother with satisfaction and said in a lecturing tone.

    "Please rest assured, brother, there will never be any mistakes!" Zai Ren was even more confident. Using his own scheming, it was a piece of cake to plot against the coquettish Feisald. All he needed was a few kind words and a few compliments.  Hat, you can win it in minutes!

    Emperor Hirohito didn't know, and neither did Zai Ren, that the Japanese were arrogant again. They were making a fatal mistake. They regarded the Italian army as a traditionally strong European team. It could become one of the two strongest teams on the European continent.  1. The Italian army, which has been doing well so far and is on par with Germany, is no better. How can it be worse?

    Emperor Hirohito and Prince Zaihi had never had any dealings with the Italians. They didn't know what these bully-headed young men were like. Koichi Mineuchi, who rushed to the North American battlefield to negotiate, had no dealings with Takami, the commander of the German South American Army Group.  He could not and did not dare to contact Marshal Er. He was poaching, and it was too late to avoid the Germans!

    If Koichi Mineuchi had been in contact with Rommel and listened to the German god of war's evaluation of the Italian army, Koichi Mineuchi would not have invited these Italian princes as saviors even if he risked having his head chopped off by Emperor Hirohito.  Japan.

    As for Rommel, how could he not know that the number one boss of the Japanese military, Koichi Mineuchi, sneaked to the North American battlefield and jumped into the arms of the Italians. He disdained and did not want to have contact with the Japanese. Between the Japanese and the Italians,  He didn't want to know what was going on, and he didn't even want to know that the Japanese had invited away the Italian troops that he was tired of to death, and it was too late for him to thank them!

    Many factors were intertwined. Under a strange combination of circumstances, Prince Zai Ren, who was responsible for the defense of Japan's mainland, handed over the two most important defense directions into the hands of the Italians. One of the directions was chosen by Tang Qiuli.  One of the key landing areas is the line from the southernmost Yamaguchi of Honshu Island to Hiroshima across the Korean Strait from Busan on the Korean Peninsula.

    The Italian army rested for three days in the Tokyo area. After feasting on the delicious oriental food, with nostalgia for the Japanese girl in Ginza, Tokyo, the Italian army divided into two groups and marched to the defense location designated by Prince Zain to serve as a guard for the Japanese.  Cannon fodder.

    Three days later, a huge fleet appeared in the waters near the Ogasawara Islands. Following the fleet was an even larger troop transport fleet, the Southern Fleet of the Division, the Korean Marine Corps, and most of the Sulu Mobile Corps.  , the southern assisting force composed of , arrived here within the planned time.

    After leaving Australia, the sea voyage for more than a week was uneventful. I did not encounter a Japanese navy warship, a Japanese reconnaissance plane or? Patrol aircraft, therefore, the whole of Japan will not know that a division fleet and a fleet filled with hundreds of thousands of soldiers have approached the southern part of Japan's Honshu Island.
