Private Tojo was actually very depressed. He was fighting well in the front, but suddenly collapsed, all because of that Zhao Sihu!
“Tojo-kun, the security situation in North China, especially Hedong, is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it is impossible to provide due support for the jihad;
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Tada-kun can no longer control the situation in North China. It just so happens that I need such a loyal minister by my side, so let him return home with that good-for-nothing Xiao Zhuoyinan.
The three armies cannot be without commanders for a day, and the public security in North China must undergo major changes. Can you recommend a suitable candidate? "
A joyful expression flashed across the face of First Class Tojo. This was a big cake, so naturally he had to recommend someone worthy of his trust.
In fact, he already had a suitable candidate in mind. In order not to arouse Yuren's resentment, he still pretended to think about it and said:
"Commander Okamura-kun of the Eleventh Army has a brilliant record in East China. He is also familiar with China and has served for a long time. He is fully qualified for the position of commander of the North China Front."
Yujin happened to say this as well, but he just needed to be raised by Senior Private Tojo;
Sure enough, Tojo did not disappoint him, and the recommended candidate coincided with him. In Chinese terms, this is called heroes seeing the same thing.
"Tojo-kun, Okamura-kun is indeed the best candidate. Just do as you wish. Do you have a suitable candidate for the commander of the First Army?"
Yuren began to ask about Xiao Zhuoyi's successor again. Private Dongdong thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Iwamatsu Yoshikuma, Commander of the Central Defense Force, is more suitable."
The position of commander of the First Army, Ren Mian, was that of Private Tojo. Since he proposed the candidate, he would generally agree to it unless he strongly opposed it.
"Tojo-kun, Iwamatsu-kun is very suitable as the commander of the First Army in all aspects. Let him succeed Shinozaku-kun."
After solving the two most difficult problems, Yuren's thinking jumped to the preparation of the southward strategy. This is the top priority. Reorganizing public security in North China is also to better free up the hands to promote the southward strategy. This is related to The rise and fall of empires.
“Tojo-kun, Europa, our allies’ millions of troops have just crossed the line of actual control between them and the Black Bears, and have advanced hundreds of miles in just one week, encircling and annihilating the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Black Bear Country;
Hans Cat's steel army is as easy as an armed parade, while Black Bear's two million army at the border is as vulnerable as paper. This is the power of the mechanized army!
The empire does not lack steel and warriors, but the oil that gives them wings and armor, which China does not have;
With oil, the warriors of the empire will be even more powerful, complete the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and then carve up the world with Hans Cat!
The oil in Java is inevitable for the empire, and the Longyang Continent has inexhaustible iron ore, rubber, and food, which is the guarantee for the empire to strive for world hegemony;
The Netherlands, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and the Gallic Chickens cannot protect themselves. They are no longer able to defend these sacred places. This is prepared for the Empire! "
"As long as the public security in North China is stable, negotiations with the tribes can be restarted, and some concessions can be made to them appropriately. If necessary, the Jinling government can be abandoned;
If a peace agreement can be signed, I agree to restore the line of control between the two parties before the Ho-Mei Agreement. This is the bottom line, and Manzhou and Shencheng must ensure it.
From now on, I authorize you to mobilize elite divisions to secretly form the Southern Front Army, collect enough supplies, and complete all combat preparations before the end of the year.
In order to confuse the enemy, the empire must send heavyweight diplomats to the Hans Cat Empire as soon as possible to negotiate with them the strategy of heading north to attack the Black Bear Country;
The Kwantung Army in Manchuria feints towards the Manchurian-Mongolian border. Although the Empire has just signed a non-aggression treaty with Black Bear, the treaty does not stipulate that the Empire cannot mobilize troops in Manchuria, so it uses the excuse of pursuing the Chinese resistance..."
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters, Xiao Zhuoyi Nan slumped on a chair like a dead dog;
More than ten days passed, and he finally waited for the "judgment" from the base camp. As expected, he was not disappointed. He became the scapegoat for the Hedongnan Battle. The empire needed to explain to its subjects, and he must be responsible for the defeat.
During the twenty days he was waiting for the verdict, he lived in hellish torment almost every day, and his energy and energy were almost drained out of him. He was now no different from a walking zombie;
The only support is that his mission as commander of the First Army has not yet been completed. He needs to complete the handover of duties to the new commander. This is related to his honor as a military commander and is his last fig leaf.
Major General Miyamoto walked straight in. He seemed to have forgotten a very important procedure and knocked on the door;
Maybe he forgot, maybe he felt there was no need, the era when the First Army belonged to Xiao Zhuoyi Nan was over!
Major General Miyamoto's duty as chief of staff did not end. Yoshio Shito took all the blame. After the Miyamoto family sent a young and beautiful daughter-in-law to Lord Tojo late at night, his position as chief of staff was successfully retained. ;
This is politics, and the devils are not exempt from it.
After paying such a high price, how could Miyamoto still put a waste in his eyes? The look in his eyes made him look like a dead man:
"Xiao Zhuojun, Mr. Yansong has arrived. Can we hand over?"
Xiao Zhuoyi'nan nodded dullly and waited for Miyamoto to arrange the handover of duties. This was also a normal procedure.
Iwamatsu Yoshikuma was born in a samurai family. He graduated from Army University in the 30th class in November 2018. He has been serving in the General Staff Headquarters since then. In 2031, he served as the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Division. The division commander at that time was Juichi Terauchi.
He has never served as a grassroots officer, let alone a division commander or a brigade commander, he has never even been a commander such as a battalion commander or a squadron commander. This time he was directly promoted to the commander of an army. There are too many factors in this. Many private operations have a lot to do with the support of the old chief official Shouichi in the temple.
For such an important position as the First Army, an academic with no actual combat experience was assigned to take charge. It can only be said that the water in the Japanese political circles is also unfathomable.
Lieutenant General Yansong didn't look down on Xiao Zhuoyi'an at all. In his opinion, it was unforgivable that a commander with a good hand could lose to a beggar-like Chinese.
The handover between the two was very fast. Once the handover procedure was over, he had no intention of asking Xiao Zhuoyi'nan about his duties. He didn't even bother to pretend, he was just a waste.
Xiao Zhuoyi Nan really wanted to tell him about Chu Xiong, but Lieutenant General Iwamatsu was not interested in saying a word to him at all. He just told Miyamoto to arrange for a handyman to help him pack his things, while he himself was accompanied by Major General Miyamoto. I went down to inspect my territory.
After Yansong and Miyamoto left, Duanmu walked in. Looking at Duanmu's more erect lower body, Xiao Zhuoyi's many beautiful memories began to revive, and his eyes exuded a beast-like light...
"Your Majesty Commander, please have tea..."
Three days later, Xiao Zhuoyi Nan died mysteriously on the way to work. After a brief review of the process, the investigation department concluded that he died from a normal death.
The era of Xiao Zhuoyi Nan is over
