    Having said this, Kimura Hy身taro bowed and said: "Your Majesty Commander, I think we should now accept the opinion of the base camp, make every effort to train the troops, strengthen the blockade of their base areas, reduce their continuous combat potential, wait and see what happens, and wait.  "

    "Judging from this telegram from the base camp, it will only take a few months for the Germans to attack the Soviet Union. With the German army's current military victory, sophisticated tactics and equipment, even the powerful Britain and France can easily be defeated.  Defeat, and the Soviet army with outdated equipment may be difficult to resist. As long as the Soviet Union is defeated, it will mean that the Anti-Japanese Alliance will be drained. "

    "Without the support, they also lost all sources of materials to maintain the war. Even if they have an arsenal, military equipment cannot be solved by a simple arsenal. Without the support of upstream industries and the copper for ammunition production,  Without the steel to make guns and shells, without the smokeless gunpowder to produce propellants, and without the support of oil, what else could they use to maintain the war, and what could they use to maintain their determination to fight on. "

    "Manchuria is the most industrially developed region in China, but almost all of the industrial base is concentrated in southern Manchuria, while northern Manchuria has almost no modern industries except for mining and logging. Your Excellency, Commander, an army can  It can be established in a short time, but the modern industry that maintains an army cannot be established in a short time.§

    "Your Excellency, Commander, for an army without the support of modern military industry, once all foreign aid channels are cut off, their combat effectiveness will be extremely obvious, and they can even barely maintain the war situation. This is true in China Pass.  It has been proven on the battlefield.§

    "In the Guanci Civil War, after the empire cut off all external communications of the so-called Chongqing National Government, the combat effectiveness of the China Army became a clear downward trend. Even for its so-called most elite Central Army, the amount of ammunition consumed by each soldier every day has been  It has dropped to thirty rounds, and the number of rifles and light and heavy machine guns equipped by each division is less than half of what it was before the war. The reason why the China Army in Chongqing is still resisting is just to occupy the vast territory of China. "

    "As for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they do not have the confidence as the Chongqing government. Although the Chongqing government's own military production cannot meet the needs of the army, its limited military output can still maintain the most basic consumption of its army, including artillery shells.  The production of steel and propellant is still barely enough.§

    "As for them, we have not found any signs of the construction of upstream military industries such as steel, non-ferrous metal smelting, chemicals, etc., which proves that they rely on imports for all military raw materials. Once they are in Soviet Russia, they will not be able to protect themselves.  Under this circumstance, we will never continue to provide it with raw materials needed for military industry.§

    "At that time, if there is no source of military raw materials, they will have no source of ammunition supplies. And what modern warfare is about is steel. Without sufficient ammunition supply, can their combat effectiveness be maintained so strong? I  I＊m afraid there＊s no such chance.§

    "There is another reason why I suggest you obey the orders of the base camp. Commander, although North Manchuria has a vast territory, its population is extremely sparse compared to South Manchuria. The population of Manchuria is mainly concentrated in South Manchuria. Based on the population of North Manchuria,  It cannot support them to build a huge army."

    "Contrary to the fact that we can get a steady stream of new recruits from China and even North Korea, due to the limitation of population, especially the number of men of suitable age, it is extremely difficult for them to replenish their soldiers. They cannot withstand the huge force of the Chinese Army in Guannei on the battlefield.  The cost of casualties.§

    "Furthermore, the terrain in Northern Manchuria is complex, and it is the latest area to be developed in Manchuria. It is not a traditional agricultural area in Manchuria. The production of grain in Northern Manchuria does not occupy a major position in Manchuria, and the limited grain production in Northern Manchuria  It is difficult to maintain the consumption of an army for a long time.§

    "As long as they lose the material support from Soviet Russia and have no modern industrial base to support their military industry, let alone a huge population and sufficient food production to support our consumption, I think even salt will be needed  The imported ones will fight us no matter what, even if we slowly consume them, we can still consume them to death.§

    "So I believe that the most important thing we should do now is to switch from offensive to defensive, and change the deployment posture of the forward divisions from offensive to both offensive and defensive, so as to prevent them from going south and attacking Jilin and other grain-producing areas, and at the same time,  The so-called base areas are strictly sealed off and absolutely cannot allow a grain of salt, a pound of cotton, a foot of cloth, a pound of grain, or a drop of kerosene to enter the so-called base areas.§

    "There is also the forcible relocation of all Manchurians within thirty kilometers south of all fronts to the south, which is to imitate someone who daresBaotian violated the orders of the Kwantung Army and smuggled much-needed supplies to its so-called base area. Secondly, it also destroyed its source of supplementary soldiers. It would rather be barren of grass around the front than allow it to obtain a single soldier.  "

    "At the same time, before the situation becomes clear, appropriately concentrate a group of troops on the front line to conduct some small-scale operations with them. First, it will consume their material reserves. The most important thing is to use as much strength as possible when it is difficult to replenish their troops.  weaken its vitality.§

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I want to fight this small-scale battle without our Imperial Army coming forward. It is perfectly fine to let the Manchukuo Army and the recruited Koreans take the lead. As for the Imperial Army to supervise the battle from behind, it is perfectly fine for everyone in the Empire."  Soldiers are precious and should devote themselves to the holy war of Emperor Hachiko Ichiu, and should not be lost in this small-scale armed friction. "

    "Since the Manchukuo Army was created by the Empire, it should make some contributions to the Empire's Holy War. And since the Koreans are a part of the Empire and enjoy the honor brought to them by the Empire's power, they should naturally contribute to the Empire.  Be loyal to the emperor."

    "Using the levied Korean and Manchukuo troops to replace the Imperial Army in front-line combat can not only consume their effective strength, but also avoid the casualties of the Imperial Army, so that the Imperial Army will not suffer from these small-scale but extremely frequent attacks.  It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone in a small battle."

    "Judging from the battle last year, these Manchukuo troops have been carefully reorganized and trained by Mr. Sasaki, but except for a few troops, most of the troops are not very loyal to the imperial army. I think we can take advantage of this opportunity.  If we have the opportunity, weeding out some unsettled elements and completely replacing the Manchus in the Manchukuo army with Koreans may not be a bad thing for the imperial army. "

    "As for those Koreans, no matter how many casualties they have, they will not harm the bones of the imperial army. As long as they can weaken the opponent's strength and ensure the vitality of the Kwantung Army, all Korean men in the entire Manchukuo and all the men on the Korean Peninsula will be wiped out.  No matter what, I won＊t hesitate.§

    "In addition, we should concentrate the main force of the aviation force to carry out large-scale bombing of Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi and other large cities in its control area, including various counties, to completely destroy its war potential. As for other aspects, I think we should still use  It is better to wait for the international situation to change.§

    "As long as they lose the support of the Soviet Union, no weapons, ammunition and all necessary supply channels for war, and trap them half to death, we can safely and boldly fight them decisively, wipe them out in one fell swoop north of the Songhua River, and even  Move northward in one fell swoop to eliminate the so-called heavy military group of Soviet Russia＊s Far East Military District.§

    "But now, Your Excellency Commander, I think that since we have a way to get twice the result with half the effort, we should not rush for success. It is better to follow the orders of the base camp and wait for the changes in the international situation. The Kwantung Army is the total reserve force of the empire. If it loses  Too much will affect the empire＊s next strategic deployment.§

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the Kwantung Army can no longer withstand last year's disastrous defeat. If last year's setback occurs again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain it in front of the Emperor. Instead of paying a heavy price, he will fight head-on."  , it is better to wait for its strength to be weakened to a certain extent before we take action. Commander, you are familiar with the art of war, and you should understand that in many cases, drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron is more deadly than a duel on the battlefield."

    Kimura Hy身taro's words made Umezu Meijiro fall into deep thought for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at him and said: "I understand what Kimura-kun means. Now that Kimura-kun has said it, let me look at the next plan."  It＊s best to follow Kimura-kun＊s plan.§

    "The matter of conscription in Korea will start with the Koreans in Manchuria. These Koreans will not be incorporated into the imperial army for the time being. They will all be transferred to the Manchukuo National Army to replace the extremely unreliable Manchus. As for the Koreans in Korea  , I will study this matter with the North Korean Governor."

    Hearing that Umezu Meijiro finally agreed to his suggestion, Kimura Hy身taro, who had always been worried that Commander Umezu was stubborn and refused to carry out the orders from the base camp, finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.  Furthermore, the lieutenant general and chief of staff couldn't help secretly saying that he was lucky that he finally didn't have to face the dilemma between Prime Minister Lu and the general commander of the Kwantung Army.  "

    As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Kimura Hy身taro, who shared the same fate as the commander, should naturally be responsible for the Kwantung Army commander. However, as an officer who was single-handedly promoted by the Prime Minister, Kimura Hy身taro believed that he was more responsible.  You should be loyal to Mr. Prime Minister Lu.

    Without the special promotion of the person who now holds the high post of Prime Minister, Kimura Hyoutarou, who was born as an artillery officer, would never have been able to go directly from a division commander to the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, a position with unlimited future and financial prospects.  On, if once the commander of the Kwantung Army and the LuThe Prime Minister disagreed on some opinions, and Kimura Hyoutarou was caught in the middle. It can be said that he was in a dilemma.

    Especially this commander who once served as the Army Under-Secretary-General, has never been very fond of the Prime Minister. Fortunately, this stubborn commander finally stepped forward with his own persuasion and agreed to carry out the base camp.  Yes, it was actually the order of Prime Minister Lu. This made Hyojiro Kimura heave a sigh of relief when his nervous back was soaked with sweat when Umezu Meijiro was deep in thought.
