Sugiyama Yuan deliberately wanted to refuse.
However, his position did not allow him to refuse.
After hesitating for a moment, Sugiyama Yuan strode towards the office.
He decided to submit his resignation to the emperor today.
Whoever likes to be the chief of general staff can be the chief of general staff.
Anyway, he quit.
There were so many confidential documents that he could never finish reading until he died.
Wouldn't this cost him his life?
As soon as Sugiyama Yuan arrived at the office, he saw a middle-aged man already appearing in the office.
He knew this person as a lobbyist for the Xinheng family.
Usually responsible for the communication between the Xinheng family and those senior officials.
"This is a specialty of the Xinheng family, please accept it."
The lobbyist said as he placed a small suitcase on the table.
Open gently.
Inside the suitcase were wads of banknotes and a title deed to an estate in Hokkaido.
"What is this doing?"
Sugiyama Yuan looked at these things, and his heart was pounding.
Although he is the Chief of General Staff, his salary is meager.
If you want to live a good life, you must collect all kinds of filial piety.
However, these things are also quite huge numbers for him.
"As long as the chief of general staff acts impartially, that's all."
The lobbyist of the Xinheng family said as he sent a document to Sugiyama Yuan.
After saying that, he left.
Sugiyama Gen opened the file and found that it was a whistle-blowing letter.
The content can be extracted in just one sentence: The Black Dragon Society colluded with the Communist army and betrayed a large amount of intelligence, causing a large number of Japanese troops to be ambushed. In the end, all members were shattered and demanded that the treasonous organization of the Black Dragon Society be completely eradicated.
As soon as Sugiyama Yuan finished reading, the telegraph operator sent a telegram.
Sugiyama Gen took a look and saw that this telegram was personally sent by Madoka Doi, the director of the Special High-Tech Department.
The core content is just one sentence. Tegako discovered evidence of the Black Dragon Society's treason and asked the headquarters to immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the Black Dragon Society, a treasonous organization.
"hiss--"
After reading the telegram, Sugiyama Yuan took a breath of air.
He finally understood.
This is someone who wants to bring down the Black Dragon Society.
Otherwise, these three pronged approaches would not be possible.
Sugiyama Yuan thought for a while, picked up the phone, and called Shinozuka Kazuo.
Get ready to listen.
…
"Commander Shinozuka, you called me?"
Wei Wu walked into Shinozuka Kazuo's office.
"Now, there's a problem."
Shinozuka Kazuo had a serious look on his face.
"You say."
Seeing Shinozuka Kazuo's appearance, Wei Wu also became nervous.
Don't know what happened.
"General Sugiyama Gendai asked me to submit the casualty list."
Shinozuka Kazuo had a sad look on his face.
"What's so difficult about this? Just report the list of all members of the 23rd Division. Just say that because of the Black Dragon Society, the 23rd Division was attacked by a sneak attack. All members fought hard for three days. They ran out of ammunition and food, and all the members were shattered."
"In order to avenge the 23rd Division, we sent troops to encircle and suppress the guerrilla zone, moved 2,000 miles in, recovered 100,000 square kilometers of lost land, wiped out 1 million enemies, completely occupied 90% of the guerrilla zone, and achieved a great victory."
General Wei handed over the report he had prepared long ago to Shinozuka Kazuo.
Kazuo Shinozuka glanced at it. There was very little about the 23rd Division. Most of the content described how he, Kazuo Shinozuka, made heroic decisions, strategized, and commanded the army to wipe out the guerrilla zones.
The exaggeration of his words made Shinozuka Kazuo himself a little embarrassed.
"But what to do with the remaining 500,000 casualties?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked.
"Casualties? What casualties? Our Imperial Japanese Army descended like heavenly soldiers, thundering through holes. How could there be casualties?"
"Isn't this all here?"
Wei Wu said while holding a stack of flower lists.
These are the lists of those who were captured.
As long as these things are not reported, they will always be on the military's roster and order of operations.
The military department has always been required to allocate resources and supplies on schedule.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
Shinozuka Kazuo's eyes widened.
He was too familiar with Wei Wu's operations.
To put it bluntly, it's just free money.
He did it too.
However, all they did was make small fuss.
A team can eat up to a hundred or so people.
Not too exaggerated.
Like Wei Wu, he ate the free wages of more than 500,000 people at once.
This is no longer greed, this is thievery.
"Won't they find out from above?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked worriedly.
"Of course it will, so we have to settle the accounts before they find out."
Wei Wu knew that in less than eight months, Japan would attack Pearl Harbor.
After the Pacific War began, the army would cooperate with the navy in heading south to Southeast Asia.
At that time, the Southeast War Zone, as the war zone closest to Southeast Asia, will inevitably deploy a large number of troops to go south for support.
At that time, once they ran out of manpower, they would be exposed.
Therefore, these people must be consumed in a reasonable way before that time.
As long as the accounts are settled, all problems will be solved.
"How to settle the account?"
Shinozuka Kazuo was curious.
He knew how to balance the accounts of supplies, and all he had to do was burn down the warehouse.
But he has never done this before.
"This is simple. I have a sample here."
Wei Wu said and handed a document to Shinozuka Kazuo.
Shinozuka Kazuo took the document and looked at it carefully.
On April 10, the imperial army successfully cleared the Huangcun guerrilla zone and defeated the main force of the Communist army.
Confiscated a large amount of supplies.
Total: one shotgun, two red-tasseled guns, one rooster, 2 pounds of millet, 6 eggs, two bundles of grass, and three wooden barrels.
However, the Imperial Army only had 36 casualties. 127 drowned while swimming in the river, 155 fell to their deaths from cliffs, 3,560 were injured when hunters caught pheasants in traps, 3,552 were accidentally injured by our stray bullets, and 233 were kicked by buffaloes. , another 5,210 people strayed into the forest and disappeared.
On April 12, the imperial army successfully cleared the Wangjiacun guerrilla zone and defeated the main force of the Communist army.
Confiscated a large amount of supplies.
Total: 4 large knives, 2 hens, 1 catty of sorghum, 3 duck eggs, and 1 bundle of pig grass.
However, only 38 people of the Imperial Army were killed. The 21st Division pursued them deep into the forest and lost contact. Another 1,258 people went to the river to bathe and were bitten by crocodiles.
Shinozuka Kazuo: "???"
He has seen quite a few battle reports, but he has never seen one so outrageous.
"Is this really okay?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked.
"Why can't it work? These are reasonable casualty ranges. I just made reasonable use of the casualty indicators."
Wei Wu said with a smile.
"If the people above don't believe it, you can ask them to go to the battlefield to check the situation in person."
"Let them experience the customs and customs of the southeast war zone."
Wei Wu was completely confident.
He knew very well that after the Pacific War started, everyone in Japan was exhausted.
In the early stage, we were busy occupying the vast Southeast Asia.
Later, he was busy guarding isolated islands in the Pacific.
I don't have the energy to care about these little things about him.
Moreover, after the Pacific War began, the Navy's battle reports became even more watery.
The loss of 4 aircraft carriers can also be written as victory after completing the predetermined goal.
Compared with the Navy Red Deer, his battle report does not seem so outrageous.
