Changzhou, a hotel!
"Baga, you are a bunch of idiots who won't let me lead my troops to fight. Will they be my opponents during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Kitashirakawa washed his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room, complaining all the time.
At this time, he had been relieved of military power. The royal family told him to go back to Japan immediately.
But Kitashirakawa didn't want to go back. What to say because he went back? He said that after being beaten up by a fat man named Duan Wu in China, he just rolled back in a gray state?
And if this happens, won't his reputation as a prince be lost to his grandma's house?
So he had no intention of going back, but asked to stay in China.
However, the royal family not only prohibited him from leading troops anymore, but also ordered the Changzhou garrison to temporarily place him under house arrest in a hotel and not allow him to go out.
Kitashirakawa was very depressed, but fortunately Aso Taro was also detained in the hotel and could give him some advice.
Taro Aso thought for a while and said: "Senior, I think you should just endure it for a while! Wait until this matter is over. Because you think, if the imperial army suffered a loss this time, someone will definitely be found to take responsibility.
As for the officers in the headquarters, they cannot afford the responsibility, so they can only blame everyone on you.
And what about the local gentlemen? They also know what's going on. It was not the first time or two that the Dragon Boat Festival went against the Empire of Japan.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the Battle of Nanjing, although the imperial army still won it in the end. But it paid an extremely heavy price.
After a battle is won, not only reinforcements need to be mobilized from the mainland, but also a large number of Imperial Army troops from the Korean Peninsula.
These people are now fighting on the northern front. Otherwise, how could the Second Army have so many troops to support such a huge battle? "
"snort!"
Kitashirakawa snorted coldly, because he was being punished, while the commander of the Second Army was being praised.
But what he was not convinced of was that if Duanwu fought on the northern front, he felt that the Second Army would probably be completely annihilated.
Of course, there are not so many ifs in this world. And his purpose in this battle is to kill Dragon Boat Festival.
It's just a pity that despite all his tricks, he didn't even hurt a hair on Dragon Boat Festival.
"Aso-kun, should you think of a way to solve our current predicament?"
Kitashirakawa asked Aso Taro, who scratched his head a little. Because the current situation is that the royal family has issued an order and will only let them out unless they no longer want them.
But he knew Kitashirakawa's character very well. It would be harder to ground him than to reach the sky.
And he can no longer let Kitashirakawa do whatever he wants. Because something happened, Kitashirakawa could not be beaten and would be scolded, but his head might not be saved.
For example, now, Kitashirakawa is the one who made the mistake. Isn't he also locked up?
And if Kitashirakawa hadn't been able to use him, I'm afraid his head would have been moved long ago.
In the battle of Huainan, the imperial army lost so many people, and they were worried about finding a scapegoat. And if Kitashirakawa Aoi said at this time that I failed because of listening to Aso Taro's words, then I'm afraid the imperial family would take off his head without even giving themselves a chance to defend themselves.
So thinking of this, Taro Aso smiled and said: "Senior, I think this is an opportunity for us."
"Chance?"
Kitashirakawa was surprised, and at this time Taro Aso quickly added: "Yes, although we and Dragon Boat Festival have won each other in the battle in Huainan, we are still lacking. What did we miss in order to successfully hunt the Dragon Boat Festival? .
So we just took this time to review the battle in Huainan, look for loopholes in our tactics, and then hunt down that Dragon Boat Festival in one fell swoop in the next battle. What do you think, senior? "
Kitashirakawa nodded when he heard this, but he felt that what Aso Taro said made some sense.
But he changed his mind and thought wrong again. Now that he is under house arrest, even if he replays the game and finds a tactical loophole, what will happen?
Thinking of this, Kitashirakawa waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Now that we are under house arrest in this hotel, what can we do?"
Taro Aso smiled again and said: "Senior, don't worry! The imperial army will definitely open up the Jinpu railway line. If you weren't there to take command, I think every officer who went there would be disgraced. And when we get there, At that time, if you went out to hunt the Dragon Boat Festival again, wouldn't you have all the dignity there?"
"oh oh!"
Kitashirakawa suddenly realized, and felt that what Taro Aso said was very reasonable. The Dragon Boat Festival is very difficult to deal with, and the Jinpu Line still needs to be opened, which means that this battle will still be fought. And when the commanders of the dispatched troops in North and Central China were beaten to shame, he stood up again, talked about his tactics, and then led his troops to destroy the Dragon Boat Festival. And when that time comes, he will see what those old guys from the royal family dare to say!
Thinking of this, Kitashirakawa was already a little eager to give it a try, and ordered loudly: "Come here, come back and make me a sand table for the entire Huainan area."
"Senior, wait a minute. What do those servants know? We still need to make this sandbox with our own hands! Hahaha!"
At this moment, Taro Aso laughed and stopped him. But in fact, his real intention was just to delay.
Review is indeed necessary, but review does not take much time. Kitashirakawarai is also an impatient person. If you let him wait in the hotel for the second battle on the Jinpu Line, he will go crazy.
Therefore, Taro Aso thought of such a damaging move,
But Kitashirakawa didn't know that it was a good idea to just pretend to be Taro Aso. Making the sand table by yourself had a unique charm.
So Kitashirakawa ordered his men to find materials for making sand tables, and then he and Taro Aso used a living room in the hotel as their combat command room and started carpentry work there.
】
The Japanese who were responsible for confining Kitashirakawa let out a long sigh of relief. Because just imagine, who is this Prince of Beibai? If he really forced his way out, no one would dare to stop him.
Therefore, Kitashirakawa was banned not because of the Japanese soldiers guarding the hotel, but because he did not want to quarrel with the old guys from the royal family.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world. Kitashirakawa Aoi is originally a person who has his eyes high above his head. If Aso Taro hadn't been worried about losing his head, he would have gone out and wandered long ago.
Fortunately, with Taro Aso as a cobbler, Kitashirakawai felt a lot more at ease. Even Matsui Iwane, an old Japanese man in Shanghai, breathed a sigh of relief.
It is undeniable that Kitashirakawa washes this prince, which is indeed a big trouble! ...
