- Peking, Union Medical College Hospital.
"Minister, this is the battle report for this morning. Some of it may not be accurate. I will arrange some for you according to time. Do you want to read it yourself, or let Secretary Xiong read it to you?" Li Tian walked into He Jingzhi with a stack of messages. ward.
"I'll do it myself. I've been lying here all morning, reading newspapers and drinking tea. It's really boring!" He Jingzhi said angrily.
"You have worked too hard and it's time to take a rest. This body is still the capital of the revolution!" Li Tiancai smiled.
"Did nothing happen?" He Jingzhi asked after receiving the message.
"No, except for the excited students and the applauding people, the Japanese are just like rats crossing the street!" Li Tiancai said with a smile.
"Are the students not taking to the streets?"
"What are you doing on the streets? They are singing and dancing in the school and holding a victory rally!"
"It's good that we didn't take to the streets, it's good that we didn't take to the streets!" He Jingzhi's heart dropped. This student demonstration was the most troublesome. If it was not done well, it would easily lead to trouble.
There is no one in the stall who is not unlucky.
"But Mayor Zhang came here, and I blocked him!"
"Has Zhang Yuejun been here?" He Jingzhi asked while looking down at the message.
"I want to see you. I told you that your old injury recurred. You didn't sleep all night. You finally fell asleep after taking an analgesic injection. It's not appropriate to disturb you at this time. Let him come back in the afternoon or evening!" Li Tiancai said.
"He didn't say anything?"
"Mayor Zhang said, when you wake up, call his office!" Li Tiancai said.
¡°Where are the Japanese?¡±
"I guess I can't care about it, oh. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has submitted a protest to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they are probably having a war of words. They probably won't come to the door for a while!" Li Tiancai said.
In fact, as soon as the power of Dongkang came out, the war broke out. The Kwantung Army was busy dealing with it. When the domestic base camp received the news, it also became a mess!
The prime minister of the cabinet convened the land minister, maritime minister and foreign minister, and the four giants held a temporary meeting behind closed doors.
Before the meeting came up with any substantial response plan, Emperor Hirohito issued an edict to summon four people to attend the imperial meeting. Discuss the situation in Manchuria.
Prime Minister Sadao Araki has been scolded so much that he is so incompetent. The Kwantung Army repeatedly disobeyed military orders and brought many harms to the empire. Now it is even worse. Someone has caught him.
It wantonly undermined the empire's overall strategy and caused huge losses. This is not only a loss of face internationally, but also a huge economic loss!
Facing the emperor¡¯s reprimand, Prime Minister Sadao Araki could only bow his head and admit his mistake. He hated the Kwantung Army to death!
??Especially Tojo Hideki, who was actually caught by the China people, so he stopped talking about his improper words. Even his adjutant was caught as a witness!
"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to end this conflict as soon as possible and minimize the damage to the empire's interests!" Prime Minister Saito said.
"Your Excellency Saito, this is clearly a Chinese conspiracy. We must fight back!"
"Counterattack, what should we use to counterattack now?"
"Add more troops to Manchuria. Our navy can send out marines to reinforce the Kwantung Army!" Navy Minister Okada Keisuke said.
"Okada-kun, the empire's finances are already in dire straits. If there is another Jehol War, you know our finances will be overwhelmed!" Prime Minister Saito Minoru said.
"This money does not need to be paid by the Ministry of Finance. Our navy will prepare it ourselves. We only need the cabinet to agree to increase the number of troops in Manchuria!"
"Your Majesty"
"How many troops can the navy send?" Emperor Hirohito seemed to be very interested in Okada's suggestion. After all, the failure of the war would also affect his prestige.
"Give me three days, the navy can mobilize 5,000 people to reinforce Manchuria!" Okada Keisuke said.
"Three days, I'm afraid the Chinese people won't give us such a long time!" Araki Sadao said.
"Araki-kun, is your army only capable of this?"
"Okada-kun, from the information we have received now, the China Army is well prepared this time. They have made a strict plan before the operation, and they have no intention of fighting us for a long time. Therefore, even if we increase our troops in Manchuria now, wait until When we arrive at the battlefield, I'm afraid everything is already in the past!" Araki Sadao said.
"Araki, you are a coward, not worthy of being a warrior of the empire or an important minister!"
"I'm just speaking truthfully. Your Majesty has his own judgment!" Sadao Araki lowered his head and stopped defending himself.
"you¡¡"
"Your Majesty, since the Sino-Japanese naval battle, we, the Emperor of Japan, have?China has never been defeated. If it fails this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Please order your Majesty to send troops to Manchuria. This battle must teach the Chinese people a lesson! "Okada Keisuke the Great Shinto.
"This" Emperor Hirohito seemed to hesitate for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Conquering China will not be achieved overnight. If you are eager for quick success, you will suffer catastrophe. There is currently a strong anti-war voice in the country. If you forcefully send troops at this time, it will not only make the empire's economy worse. You should think twice. Yeah!" Although Saito was born in the navy, he is the prime minister and cannot always think from the perspective of the navy. Besides, his mind is still clear.
If more troops are added at this time, the war will inevitably expand, which will bring serious consequences to Japan.
"I agree with Prime Minister Saito's suggestion!"
"I second the proposal!" Foreign Minister Hirota also expressed his support for Saito. He knew very well that China could not take one bite. The military was too eager for quick success and instant gain, which could easily lead the Japanese Empire into a dangerous situation.
Okada Keisuke¡¯s phenotype is resentful, three to one, and he has been isolated.
Emperor Hirohito also had to face it. These four people are important ministers of the country and hold great power. Their opinions must be listened to.
"Suzuki, what do you think?"
"I think what Prime Minister Saito said makes sense. Our top priority is to restore the domestic economy and use Manchuria to obtain resources to improve the empire's financial resources and increase armaments. As for this sudden war, we can negotiate with China!" Suzuki Suzuki, Hirohito's chief of bodyguards Taro said slowly.
"Does that mean we are giving away the interests that belong to us?"
"There is nothing we can do about this. If we don't do this, the empire will suffer even greater losses if the war continues!"
"Okay. Let me think about it. You go out and come back in ten minutes!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hand.
"I'll beg you to leave!"
"Your Majesty, the China Army is aggressive. If we want to ensure the empire's interests in Manchuria, we must continue to increase our troops. Otherwise, once such an incident occurs, the empire will still fall into a passive response!" Kantaro Suzuki said.
"Why didn't my dear say these words just now?"
"It's not that I didn't say anything, but my purpose of increasing the troops is different from Okada-sama's purpose!" Kantaro Suzuki said.
"Oh, please tell me carefully and listen to me!"
"Your Majesty, it's like this"
"I understand, it seems that this time the empire is going to take a step back in front of the Chinese!" A trace of resentment and resentment flashed in Emperor Hirohito's eyes.
"For the eternal foundation of the empire, let's give in once. What's the harm in enduring it for a while?" Suzuki Kantaro said.
"You are right. Let them come in and tell them the decision!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"What, is this a call back from the base camp?" Gao Linglong raised his head in surprise and looked at his adjutant.
"Hai, this is Mr. Araki's personal message!"
"It's ridiculous. When did the empire become so timid? Is this still the style of the Imperial Army Department?" Kari Linglong slapped the table angrily.
They actually asked the Kwantung Army to fight the China Army without harming the interests and face of the empire, and to reach an armistice agreement as much as possible!
??Also, the Kwantung Army has repeatedly violated the orders of the military headquarters and provoked wars without authorization. The military headquarters is already very dissatisfied. This time, the Chinese took advantage of it, causing the empire to lose its face. It may also lead to international criticism!
Nanjing¡¯s protest has been submitted to the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the military department is probably facing a lot of pressure. I heard that this message was sent by Mr. Araki after Mr. Araki was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor." The adjutant reminded in a low voice.
"Could this be His Majesty the Emperor's edict?" Kari Ry¨±taka was shocked.
"Eighty percent is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already reached a preliminary armistice agreement with China and Nanjing, and we can still gain a lot of benefits, but now, I am afraid that this agreement will be blown away!"
"Damn it, has Tojo Hideki come back?"
"Not yet, but the Chinese side claimed that although Lord Tojo is a soldier, he also has the status of a diplomat, so they were sent back!" the adjutant explained.
"This Tojo, he's out of his mind. Even if he wants to destroy the Chinese people's exercise, there is no need to let his adjutant go into battle in person. Now, he has been involved in it!" Karishi Takashi said with regret. .
Although Tojo is not lovable, he has a close relationship with the young faction in the army. The rising star in the army and the leader of the ruling faction, Tetsuzan Nagata, have an irreversible relationship. It would be a pity to ruin his future in the army!"That's true, but his luck was a bit unlucky. The China Army obviously had a premeditated plan and happened to bump into him!" the adjutant also said regretfully.
"Report, Commander Sakamoto wants to see you!"
"Quick, invite him in!"
"Hai!"
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Masaemon Sakamoto, dressed in military uniform, quickly walked into Karihishitaka's temporary office.
"Sakamoto-kun, thank you for your hard work. Sit down!" Karihistaka stood up and greeted.
"Thank you, Commander!"
"Adjutant, make a cup of good tea!" Karishi Taka walked over, sat down on the sofa in front of Sakamoto Masaemon, and ordered the adjutant.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the current situation is quite serious. As far as I know, in addition to Xinmin being attacked by the Chinese Army, many towns such as Goubangzi, Yixian, and Beizhen have been occupied by the Chinese Army. The next step for the Chinese Army is The target is likely to be Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, and they most likely want to completely cut off the connection between the pass and Manchuria!" Masaemon Sakamoto said worriedly.
"The Chinese Army doesn't have such a big appetite. We have the 8th Division and the 33rd Mixed Brigade stationed in Jinzhou, as well as the Song garrison. The total strength is no less than 30,000. The Chinese Army wants to eat someone as big as me. A heavy-armed group requires at least 100,000 troops, but as of now, they don't seem to have that many troops!" Kari Hisashi frowned slightly, he didn't quite agree with Sakamoto's analysis and judgment. - Didn't finish reading?
