Seeing Tominaga Kyouji acting like a brother and brother, Wei Wu knew that this gift was the right one.
At least he doesn't have to be like Yamashita Fengfumi, who won the battle and was transferred instead.
Maybe, you can get some benefits from Tominaga Kyouji this time.
"General Tominaga, you're welcome. I specially prepared some souvenirs for you and have sent them to the plane. I hope you like them."
Wei Wu raised his eyebrows after speaking.
"You're welcome, Mr. Higashino." Tominaga Kyouji knew it as soon as he heard it, with a knowing look on his face. "Do you have any difficulties here, Mr. Higashino? When I see Prime Minister Tojo, I will definitely tell the truth. I can't let him The soldiers on the front line have been wronged.”
"We are here, and it is our duty to defend the territory for the empire. The only problem is that there is a shortage of various materials, especially the newly built Yangtze River defense line, which lacks a large amount of weapons and equipment. I hope these equipment can be in place as soon as possible, otherwise, the Yangtze River defense line will The line of defense must be in vain.”
Wei Wu said, sending a stack of photos to Tominaga Kyouji's hands.
Seeing a photo in his hand, Tominaga Kyouji's smile became even brighter.
With such detailed evidence, he can also take some credit from it.
The official position may also be promoted.
"Higashino-kun, just wait for the good news."
Tominaga Kyouji boarded the plane with a smile and set off back to Japan.
On the plane, he saw the small box sent by Wei Wu.
When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with gold bars, one by one, shining with a charming light.
"円西." Tominaga Kyouji showed an excited look on his face.
"Higashino-kun is indeed a person worth getting to know deeply. I must give him a nice word when I get back."
Tominaga Kyouji leaned on his chair, thinking about how to help Wei Wu gain more benefits.
The plane landed at a military airport in Tokyo.
After getting off the plane, Tominaga Kyouji immediately took a car to Tojo's office.
"Tominaga is back, how is the situation on the front line?"
Tojo asked anxiously when he saw Tominaga coming back.
The collapse of the southeastern theater put him under great pressure.
Although Yuren didn't say anything on the surface, it could already be seen that he was very dissatisfied with him.
If things can't turn around, I'm afraid the prime minister's position will not be saved.
"Prime Minister, everything is fine on the front line. It was only the 12th Army and that bastard Tuqiao who caused the collapse of the entire southeastern theater."
"But, Prime Minister, don't worry. Major General Higashino of the Transportation Division turned the tide. Not only did he organize the retreat from the Magic City, preserving the empire's available troops and assets, he also protected the safety of a large number of expatriates, allowing them to safely cross the Yangtze River without falling behind. into the hands of the enemy."
"Not only that, Major General Higashino also organized forces to build the Yangtze River Defense Line and stabilized the defense line. It can be said to be the pillar of the empire."
Tominaga Kyouji said quickly.
"How is the construction progress of the Yangtze River Defense Line?"
Private Tojo asked.
"Three hundred kilometers have been built and are still being expanded. I believe that under the leadership of General Higashino, a comprehensive three-dimensional defense fortification comparable to the Maginot Line will appear in front of the world."
Tominaga Kyouji continued.
"Three hundred kilometers? Real or fake? It's only been a few days? How did he do it?"
Tojo couldn't help but stood up after hearing this.
Calculating the time, it has only been half a month since Wei Wu sent a letter to build a defense line.
Even if you don’t count a series of projects such as exploration, material preparation, and transportation.
The construction of a 300-kilometer defense line in just fifteen days is a miracle in the history of architecture.
"real or fake?"
Tojo clearly didn't believe it.
"Prime Minister Tojo, I didn't believe it at first, but when I visited the site, I found out that it was all true. You see, I even took photos."
Tominaga Kyouji placed a stack of photos in front of Tojo.
Wei Wu deserves to be born in photography.
In addition, in the past few years, I often took photos to fake military exploits.
Photography technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.
What looked like a hastily built road with cement boards gave him the impression of a dangerous pass.
"hiss--"
Seeing a photo, Tojo's face was full of horror.
He never expected that all of this was true.
Intellectually, tell him it's impossible.
But this photo told him that it was all true.
After a long time, Tojo slowly said: "This Toya is really a talented person in construction."
"Prime Minister, although General Higashino has already established a defense line, General Higashino also said that establishing a defense line requires a large number of weapons and a large number of personnel to defend, so that such a defense line is meaningful."
"The 30,000 people of the Transport Division alone cannot hold this long line of defense."
"I suggest that the First Army from North China be immediately dispatched south to help the transport division hold this front."
"In addition, the transport division has been on successive battles and is in serious shortage of various weapons. I strongly request that the transport division be immediately replenished with supplies, especially artillery and machine guns of various calibers."
"Only with enough additional weapons can the defense line play its greatest role."
After hearing Tominaga Kyouji's suggestion, Tojo nodded at first, but then shook his head regretfully.
"Now, the empire's center of gravity is moving south. In order to form the troops going south, a large number of elite soldiers and a large amount of materials have been mobilized from the mainland and the mainland."
"Now, the material warehouses across the mainland have basically been allocated, and all ministries are barely supporting it. There is simply no extra strength to support."
"However, there are not enough troops to defend. Even if the Yangtze River defense line is repaired, it is just a showpiece and may not be able to stop the Communist attack at all."
Tominaga Kyouji was a little anxious. Wei Wu had given him enough benefits, and he also praised Haikou. If he didn't get any benefits at all, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
"Why not let the First Army mobilize some of its troops first? At least one or two divisions should be deployed to support it? Otherwise, if the Yangtze River defense line collapses, they will also face the peak of troops. Are they on the unobstructed plain? , can it better block the communist army?"
Tojo thought for a while, and it seemed like the same thing.
If the Yangtze River defense line is lost, can the unobstructed North China Plain really stop it?
"Okay, I'll call the temple and ask him to send two divisions south to help defend the Yangtze River defense line."
Tojo said.
After coming out of Tojo's office, Tominaga Kyouji immediately sent a message to Wei Wu to report his merits.
It is said that after his own efforts to persuade, Prime Minister Tojo finally made the decision to send the first unit of the First Army south to assist in the defense of the Yangtze River Defense Line.
After seeing the telegram, Wei Wu was dumbfounded.
He felt like he was pushing a little too hard.
He originally just wanted to make another round of money and resell some of the heavy weapons.
Unexpectedly, Tojo actually transferred men from the First Army to go south to assist in the defense.
Now there's trouble.
Although he could fake it through photos, the Japanese soldiers who went south were not fools.
If you see these illegal buildings, you will definitely report them.
Wouldn't it be revealed by then?
No, the First Army moving south must not be allowed to see the defense line.
Wei Wu rolled his eyes and had an idea.
