    Chief of Staff Yoshioka shuddered. He could hear the murderous intent in Prince Zain's tone. This prince, since he became the deputy commander-in-chief of local defense, has become extremely arbitrary, willful and violent.  , unable to listen to any different opinions, shouting and killing at every turn, the smell of blood is getting stronger day by day.

    Speaking of which, I am very embarrassed as the chief of staff. Most of the time, I am just a messenger. There is nothing I can do about it. My identity is obvious. I belong to the line of General Miuchi Yoneuchi and sit as the commander-in-chief of the homeland defense.  The position of Chief of Staff of the Ministry was the result of mixing sand. The purpose was to restrict and contain the power of Prince Zain. But now it seems that the purpose has not been achieved at all. He is no different from a marginal person in the Home Defense Headquarters.  !

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka felt sad in his heart. He knew that if he continued to persist, it was unlikely that he would lose his head, but it was absolutely possible to pack up and get out, and he might also get a big slap in the face for Prince Ren.  With his current bad temper, hitting a lieutenant general was like playing for fun. He didn't want to suffer a loss, so he replied with humility and fear: "The senior department doesn't dare, how can the senior department dare!"

    "Then why don't you hurry up and convey my orders to all the troops! As the chief of staff and the imperial general, don't you know what a military emergency is?" Prince Zain's tone was not because of the humility of Chief of Staff Yoshioka.  The slightest change, I know what role this guy plays in the Imperial Defense Headquarters. He is nothing more than a nail planted by that old bastard Koichi Minai. If there is a chance to drive him away, it would be better to replace him with his confidant!

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka looked livid and bowed deeply.  Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.  In my heart, because of the insult I received.  He became extremely angry and walked out of Prince Zairen's office. He happened to face a confidential staff officer, holding a folder and hurriedly walking without looking up.  .

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka, who was in an extremely bad mood, suddenly became furious, "Baga! I'm blind!" His eyes widened.  He angrily denounced this confidential staff officer.

    A confidential staff officer with the rank of lieutenant general was nearly stunned when he bumped into the lieutenant general chief of staff. Then he saw Chief of Staff Yoshioka's cannibalistic attitude, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly stammered: "Staff Officer  Your Excellency, this is a discourtesy of the Ministry, but this telegram is too important. I rushed to send it to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief's office, and I accidentally offended the General. Please forgive me, General!"

    "Telegram?" Chief of Staff Yoshioka's eyes wandered around for a few times.  He was curious about what kind of emergency telegram made this confidential staff officer feel like he had lost his soul.  In a panic, he asked, "Where is the telegram? Take it out and let me see!" he said majestically.

    It¡¯s obvious where the chief of staff¡¯s responsibilities lie.  The second-largest boss in the Home Defense Headquarters has the right to see how to telegraph.  The confidential staff officer did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out the telegram from the folder, and handed it to Chief of Staff Yoshioka with both hands respectfully.

    After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Yoshioka's expression changed drastically, and the muscles on his cheeks were trembling. He pondered for a moment and said to the confidential staff officer: "Go back, I will personally deliver the telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief.  In hand!"

    The confidential staff officer, as if he had received an amnesty, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slipped away quickly. Chief of Staff Yoshioka returned and knocked on the door of Prince Zai Ren's office. Hearing Prince Zai Ren's gloomy voice, he felt in his heart  I couldn't help but tremble, and I pushed the door open and went in.

    When he saw that Chief of Staff Yoshioka had left and returned, and was unable to convey his orders to the commanders of the various units in such a short period of time, Prince Zain became furious and immediately ran away, shouting like thunder: "  Yoshioka! You are so brave! You refuse to obey my order!"

    "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, please calm down!" Chief of Staff Yoshioka said hurriedly: "I met the confidential staff officer in the corridor and got an urgent telegram. Please read it and then come and question Yoshioka!"  As he spoke, he handed over the telegram with respectful hands.

    Prince Zai Ren looked at the chief of staff whom he hated so much with an unkind look. He roughly grabbed the telegram and read it quickly. Then, his face immediately turned gray and pale, and he fell down on the chair, his eyes straight.  Without saying a word, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

    This urgent telegram was sent by Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, commander of the Thirteenth Army stationed in Shizuoka, "Headquarters, urgent report. An hour ago, the China Division troops, under the cover of powerful sea and air firepower, attacked hundreds of thousands of people.  We suddenly launched a fierce attack on Shizuoka. The China Division troops broke through the imperial troops' blockade and occupied the beachhead south of Shizuoka. All the strength of our division was lost!"

    "As of the time of sending the telegram, Shizuoka's second line of defense has been broken through by the China Division troops. Shizuoka city and within the enemy's artillery fire range, there are still a large number of China Division soldiers landing on the Shizuoka beach.  , according to the battlefield situation, the staff department will makeIt is judged that if there is no strong reinforcements, Shizuoka will fall today!  "

    "Impossible! I ignored it!" Prince Zairen said to himself nervously. He indeed ignored that before the China Division's full-scale attack on the empire's mainland, the fleet continuously bombed Tokyo and the fleet wandered in the southern part of Honshu Island.  Off the coast, the China Division troops were very active and then extremely quiet.

    Hundreds of thousands of China Division troops attacked Shizuoka and successfully landed. Prince Zain knew that the situation was even more critical. Shizuoka's geographical location is very important to Tokyo. The troops of the China Division that landed in Shizuoka could directly capture Nagoya, Qibu, etc. by heading north.  Land, joined with the China Division troops landing in the direction of Kanazawa, completely cutting off the retreat route of the defense zone headquarters in the northwest of Honshu Island, and more than 800,000 imperial soldiers, and forming a pincer attack from both front and rear!

    Advancing eastward, you can attack Yokohama-Kofu and other places, directly threaten the outskirts of Tokyo, and block the troops you sent out. This is another fatal move made by the damn China devil Tang Qiuli. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers suddenly arrived from the sea.  In the direction of Shizuoka, Prince Zai Ren was frightened again. He was afraid of Tang Qiuli's troops' sea projection capabilities, unpredictable command and military tactics.

    Obviously, the plan of the Third Army and the Fifth Army to go west to reinforce Fukui, Gibu and Nagoya, block the China Division troops in the direction of Kanazawa, and support the passage for the troops in the northwestern defense zone of Honshu Island to withdraw around Tokyo was carried out.  There is no way. If a mere 120,000 troops are forcibly dispatched, they will only become a meal for the hundreds of thousands of Chinese division troops that landed from the direction of Shizuoka. They will also be flanked by enemy troops coming from two directions!

    At this moment, Prince Zai Ren was completely numb, and his mind was in a state of confusion. As if he were flying with countless bees, "Buzz!" kept ringing. He had no way to decipher Tang Qiuli's quiet voice again.  Gang Landing's ruthless move.

    The misfortune was not over yet. The same confidential staff officer came into the office with a telegram and the same hurried footsteps. He glanced at the lost Prince Zai Ren and then at the dull-faced Chief of Staff Yoshioka.  Whispering, I don¡¯t know what I should say?

    "What kind of telegram is it?" Chief of Staff Yoshioka asked subconsciously.

    The confidential staff officer came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you have received an urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Yoshiyasu Araki, commander of the Shikoku Island Defense Zone Headquarters. The China Division troops, under the cover of powerful sea and air firepower, attacked with several  One hundred thousand troops have landed in Kochi on Shikoku Island. So far, they have broken through the two lines of defense of the Imperial Army, occupied Kochi, and continued to advance deeper into Shikoku Island! "

    "The landed China Division troops have already launched attacks on Tokushima, Takamatsu, Matsuyama and other places. The whole front of Shikoku Island is in emergency. Lieutenant General Araki Yoshiyasu sent an urgent message requesting a large number of reinforcements. Otherwise, according to the current battlefield situation, a week will  After that, Shikoku Island will inevitably fall!¡±

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka received the telegram, his face as ugly as a dead man. Although he was at odds with Prince Zain, the China Division troops landed on Shizuoka and Shikoku Islands on Honshu Island from different directions, forming a strategic encirclement of Tokyo.  Not the result I wanted to see.

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka could also see that it would be difficult for the troops belonging to the headquarters of the defense zone in the northwest of Honshu Island to escape the fate of being surrounded by the superior force of the China Division. There was only a road between Shikoku Island and the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island.  In the Seto Inland Sea, it is not difficult for the China Division, which has a powerful fleet and aviation force, to land in Hiroshima and penetrate directly into the back of the Imperial Army!

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka suddenly felt pity for Prince Zaijin, and also pitied himself. The current Empire of Japan is like a broken ship leaking everywhere. It is helplessly swaying under the raging storm, and the ship may be destroyed at any time.  .

    Who can save the fate of the empire, his immediate boss Prince Zain?  Chief of Staff Yoshioka shook his head. He could also see that after receiving the news that the China Division troops had landed in Shizuoka, Prince Zai Ren's spirit almost collapsed. Even in his conversation with the confidential staff, the China Division troops were in trouble again.  He had not even heard the news of the landing on Shikoku Island.

    Even less so, Chief of Staff Yoshioka knew that so many big figures in the imperial government were helpless, and what an important role he was. Perhaps, the Emperor, the demigod and semi-human who sat on the throne in Tokyo, could save him.  He still had great hope in his heart about the fate of the Japanese Empire.

    No matter how bad the situation is, the current Japanese Empire has not failed. The soldiers of the Imperial Army are still fighting. The most important thing right now is to find the soul of his immediate boss. In order to deal with the current crisis, his brain and  Military command of troops was simply out of the question, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief! Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" He walked up to Prince Zai Ren, bent down, and shouted as calmly as possible.

    After a long time, Prince Zai Ren¡¯s eyes focused, and he asked with a somewhat dazed look: ¡°Chief of Staff Yoshioka, why are you still here?¡±(To be continued) (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
