"Major General Liu Weiping, how many troops do you think we should invest in Southeast Asia?" The Chief of Staff's fingers tapped the table with rhythmic fingers and asked in a pondering manner.

Liu Weiping said: "With the First Army, the Flame Dragon Army, the Quick Response, the Air Assault Division and a Digital Infantry Brigade, we are invincible in land wars. As for the Navy, the Pioneer aircraft carrier battle group and the Shanghai Wushen diving aircraft carrier are also invincible... However, I do not agree with the investment of the Hai Wushen into the Southeast Asian War."

The general's thick eyebrows were shining: "Why? Without the Haiwu Shen, the Pioneer aircraft carrier battle group would be very difficult to defeat the escort fleet of the Japanese army, not to mention defeating the Japanese army's escort fleet, even protecting the lifeline of the expeditionary army!"

Liu Weiping said: "But our enemies are definitely more than Japan! There is a polar bear in the north that is a hundred times more terrifying than Japan, which is eyeing us. If we put all our naval forces in the South China Sea, it is difficult to guarantee that their Far East fleet will not take the opportunity to attack! Now the double-headed eagle has hanged the battle-free sign. The polar bear has lost its strongest opponent, and the pressure is concentrated on us. In case of precautions, the Martial God of the Sea must not appear in Southeast Asia. It must be transferred back to the Yellow Sea as soon as possible to maintain a strong deterrence against the Soviet Union!"

The chief nodded silently: "Yes, the most powerful weapon of the Sea Martial God is mysterious. No one knows when it will quietly appear on the territorial waters of which country. Cruise missiles and carrier-based aircraft will fly to the enemy's coastal cities together! But once it surfaces, this weapon will be gone. Its role can be played no more than a light aircraft carrier... Alas, it would be great if there were two Sea Martial Gods."

Liu Weiping smiled bitterly. The country's finances will be prosperous all the way, and there will be two more? It is estimated that the Minister of Finance will jump off the building.

The president sighed and continued, "Once the navy is at a disadvantage and cannot cover your logistics line, your army of more than 100,000 will have to fight alone, what should I do?"

Liu Weiping said: "It is foreseeable that the navy is at a disadvantage, but our air force is stronger than them. In addition, the anti-ship ballistic missiles deployed on Yanlong Island are enough to ensure the safety of the base camp of Yanlong Island. The military supplies reserved on Yanlong Island are enough for more than 100,000 people to fight for three or four months. I don't believe that the Japanese army can spend three or four months with us! At worst, they will fight a broken war with them, and they will be consumed to death!"

The president raised his thick eyebrows: "War of attrition?"

Liu Weiping said: "Yes, it's a war of attrition. The biggest advantage of the Japanese army is at sea, and the biggest disadvantage is that they are not prepared enough. We have been preparing for more than ten years, but they have rushed to fight. They will definitely not be able to bear it if they spend the country's efforts and a lonely army for a long time. What's more, the financial storm in Japan is still raging. Tokyo cannot come up with any way to reverse the situation, but it has poured billions of dollars into Southeast Asia, which has nothing to do with them. The people will not rebel.

It’s weird! They didn’t take any of the time, place, and people. It would be strange if they could win this battle... It’s strange that the government signed an agreement with Japan after the war. Neither side shall take any military action against each other’s local areas, and limit the battlefield to Southeast Asia."

The president said: "I understand what you mean. Now we have ushered in the best time for development. Every second is extremely precious. Similarly, stability has become the top priority. You don't want this war to affect the economic development of the country, so you have to make three rules with Japan... But have you ever thought about it? In this way, all the pressure that is heavier than Mount Tai will be pressed on you!"

Liu Weiping smiled: "Isn't it the mission of the Flame Dragon Legion to block the war outside the border and to defend this hard-won peace for the country? Such an agreement must be signed and let it restrain Japan. Otherwise, with the cruel, aggressive and useless nature of the Japanese, if they are in a hurry, they may launch terrorist attacks on our coastal cities in secret, causing large-scale chaos and large casualties! Once the matter develops to this extent, the two countries will have to go all-out war. Before the polar bear falls, we must not go all-out war with Japan... These pressures are borne by us. As long as we can maintain this peace for the country, we are willing to pay for the great sacrifice. I believe that the Japanese government will be happy to sign such an agreement. Their territory is small and dense, and we will use ballistic missiles to explode several nuclear power plants and they will not be able to take advantage of it!"

The chief general said: "I will remind the General Secretary. You have been fighting outside and have never lost. I believe that the Japanese army will not expect to get any advantage in your hands this time! However, it is not enough to just destroy the Japanese army. I will give you a task. If you don't have the confidence to complete it, just replace it."

Liu Weiping asked: "What task?"

The chief general said word by word: "You must leave at least half of the three divisions of the Japanese army expedition to Jawa as fertilizer for the fruit trees in Jawa, especially the Sixth Division that turned Nanjing into a sea of ​​blood fifty years ago. It must be killed, and no one can be missed!"

Liu Weiping asked: "What if they surrender?"

The chief general said: "Just pretend, with your nature, will you accept their surrender?"

Liu Weiping smiled, he really knew him very much.

"Kun Chuanyue, I wonder if you have considered it?"

Prime Minister Takahashi looked at Hiroo Fukio, who sat cross-legged on a futon and recited scriptures, and his tone was quite aggressive.

Ancient temples with a history of thousands of years are so ancient and quiet, every brick and tile exudes the vicissitudes of history. The cherry blossoms outside the door are in full bloom. When a gust of wind blows, there are always a few pink petals dancing with the wind. The whole temple gives people a feeling of tranquility and indifference, which is a good place to practice Zen. However, there is a kneeling here who has participated in World War II and has full hands.

The bloody old soldier is not so harmonious.

It has been seven years since Annan was defeated. Seven years ago, the 7th Division was beaten by the Chinese army in Annan, and the whole country in Japan was in an uproar. Right-wing organizations shouted to severely punish the defeated generals. Under the turbulent people, Lieutenant General Chuanyue was forced to resign from all positions in the army, retained only military affairs, faded out of the Japanese people's sight, and came to this thousand-year-old ancient temple to practice and comprehend. In the past seven years, he has grown very fast. His hard life has made him, who was once a little fat, thin. His cheekbones were high, and he may not be able to scrape one or two meats. His hair, which was originally well maintained, was completely gray, and his wrinkles on his face were also thin.

It was deep and long, as if it was carved with a knife. The wide monk's robe was thrown on him, and it was damaged in many places, but he didn't care at all, and he just chanted the scriptures silently. His piety made him look no different from an old monk. His eyes, which had sharp eyes and fierce eyes, were deeply sunken because of his thinness, and his eyes became as plain and peaceful as morning light. Now, even if you circle around him twenty times a day, it is difficult to find that he is any difference from an ordinary old man. However, the prime minister who can come to invite him in person is of course not an ordinary person.

Shingo Hyo Fuki slowly opened his eyes. His voice was neither high nor low, just enough to make people hear it clearly, and it was very plain: "There are so many elites in the empire. With just a little hard work, they can stand out. Why don't the Prime Minister leave the opportunity to the young? I am just a defeated general. The most elite armored division of the empire suffered an unprecedented defeat in my hands. Thousands of soldiers fell to Annan, thousands of people returned to Japan with incomplete limbs, and thousands of people became prisoners. It can be said that the entire army has been exhausted. Shingoki will not redeem it for a hundred deaths. How can I have the face to take on this important task!"

Prime Minister Takahashi said patiently: "Kun Shinseok, Annan's defeat is a crime of war. It is rare to use a mere division to fight against the three most elite armies of China, and it is rare to preserve a group of outstanding soldiers. This time, the Hua Kingdom brazenly used troops to the empire's energy lifeline, and had ulterior motives. The empire had to fight back. The senior general who fought with the Chinese army was only Chuanseok! Chuanseok, forget all the unhappiness in the past, the empire needs you!"

Hideo Fukigo said: "Lt. General Kitano Masao is one of the few geniuses in the army and has had extremely in-depth research on modern warfare. It is enough to have him as the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force."

Prime Minister Takahashi said: "Lieutenant General Kitano is of course a genius, otherwise it would be impossible for him to become a lieutenant general under the age of fifty. However, he has never experienced war after all, and he needs an excellent chief of staff! Fushiojok has fought all his life and is experienced. He is the best candidate for the position of Chief of Staff. Kitano Kun even said that you will be the commander-in-chief and he will be the chief of staff for you!"

Hideo Fukigo showed a bitter look: "Keno-kun's mind is admirable, but he misread me. I am not trying to compete with him for this position, but... I can't forget the thousands of soldiers who died in Annan, the Imperial Army

In history, I have never tried such a heavy casualty in a battle with such a short time but such a tragic battle! A general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. He was defeated in such a miserable situation. What kind of face did I have to command the army and fight on the battlefield?"

Prime Minister Takahashi said: "Imperial soldiers should be tenacious. They should get up wherever they fall. They should use any opponent as a stepping stone and step on their feet. If they fail twice at once, they will come for the third time again! According to the information we have, China also attaches great importance to this war. The three most offensive major generals were released. Shinjokovic, don't you think this is the best opportunity to avenge the shame? Our navy has obvious advantages. As long as the navy re-enacts a Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the powerful Chinese army will become an isolated army. The three guys who have deeply hurt the Empire and you will become turtles in the jar. With the ability of Shinjokovic, they can definitely capture them alive and use their blood to pay tribute to the imperial warriors who died in Annan!"

A flash of light flashed in Hideo Fukiyo's eyes, and then he fell silent.

Prime Minister Takahashi took a step back and bowed deeply: "Quanyue, please, the Empire really needs you."

Hideo Fukigo raised his head and said, "I can fight with China again, but please ask the Prime Minister to agree to me two things."

Prime Minister Takahashi was overjoyed: "Please speak!"

Hideo Fukigo said: "First, we must find a way to sign a serious agreement with China, agreeing that the battlefield is limited to Southeast Asia and no military action or agent action shall be taken against any targets in the other party."

Prime Minister Takahashi nodded: "If there was no reminder of Shimoto, we would have really ignored this point. The lives of the indigenous people in Southeast Asia are not worthwhile, but the lives of imperial citizens are extremely precious. It is a matter of no need to limit the war to Southeast Asia and not have any impact on the country. I will instruct Foreign Minister Miyamoto to communicate with China and sign this agreement."

Hideo Fukio said: "It is probably no problem to sign an agreement, and China is unwilling to burn the war to its own homes and destroy their stability. However, after signing, we must suppress some bastards who are quick to do things faster than their brains. We must never have any more bastards. Once we violate the agreement and launch an attack on China, China will definitely retaliate ten times. I think Japan can no longer bear an unprecedented violent east wind sweep."

Recalling the terrifying scene of the three powerful powers launching a large number of ballistic missiles to Japan at the same time seven years ago, Prime Minister Takahashi involuntarily fought a cold war and said, "I will do my best to ensure that Shishitsuki can fight without any concern."

Hideo Fukio said, "Then I'm relieved. The second request is to ask the Prime Minister to remove the Sixth Division and replace it with any division. Never let the number of the Sixth Division appear in the Chinese army's intelligence!"

Prime Minister Takahashi was stunned: "The Sixth Division has always been the most powerful division in the Imperial Army, and is fighting against China

He made great contributions in the fight and was the first unit to invade Nanjing! Even after 40 years of peace, he still maintained his strong combat power. He is a powerful force in the whole world. It is perfect for participating in the expedition. Why should he remove it?"

Hideo Fukio said in a deep voice: "Because the Sixth Division once started a massacre in Nanjing! As long as it is a Chinese, all of them want to smash the Sixth Division to pieces! On the Chinese battlefield, the weak and vulnerable Chinese army, no matter which faction or how poor the equipment is, will inevitably fight to the end when encountering the Sixth Division. Even if they bite with their teeth, they will bite the soldiers of the Sixth Division to death! Therefore, the Sixth Division, like the Fourth Division, became the least popular unit of friendly forces, and many troops that urgently needed support, were told that the Sixth Division was coming to assist.

The regiment immediately changed its words and said that there was no need for support, because as soon as the Sixth Division appeared, the Chinese army, which was originally not as good as a wolf, would immediately have blood-red eyes, and it would come from all directions like a piranha that smelled blood! This hatred has penetrated into the bone marrow of Chinese people and will not be resolved in another hundred years. Liu Weiping is an extreme nationalist. What kind of reaction do you think he will react after learning that the Sixth Division will participate in the war? Frankly speaking, we have at least 60% chance of winning this expedition, but if the Sixth Division participates in the war, it will immediately fall to less than 50%!"

Prime Minister Takahashi smiled: "You are too worried about Shingoku. It is because the Sixth Division has deeply hurt the Chinese people that we have to let them go to the battlefield to form a huge psychological advantage over the Chinese soldiers... Besides, the Sixth Division has set out and recalled them halfway, and the morale of this unit will collapse. Just do this, Shingoku, you have to worry about the things on the battlefield."

Hideo Fukigo wanted to say something else, but Prime Minister Takahashi had turned around and walked out. He had no choice but to give up, closed his eyes and counted the rosary silently. The rosary carved with round jade and the scriptures that had been reading for decades could no longer calm his mind. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the piles of small hills on the Yuhua platform and the fallen Chinese soldiers and civilians swept down under the crooked machine guns, and his hands were tied up by iron wire, and under the threat of the bayonet, he walked into the cold.

The Chinese civilians in the turbulent Yangtze River and the bodies of Chinese women who were ravaged until death and were thrown into the car naked and pulled out of the military camp... All of this will never be forgotten in his life, and how could China never forget it? He once regarded these as success honors and was very proud, but as China rose, the pride gradually turned into fear. The Prime Minister is right. The Empire would not be able to participate in this war in Southeast Asia. If the Empire lets China control Southeast Asia and strangle the Strait of Malacca, Japan will be done!

If you come together, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. If you don’t want to be liquidated, the only way is to make a debt. If you want to make a debt, you must be stronger than the debt collector, at least not weaker than him.

Scary memories emerged in my mind, hitting my heart, just

The point changed from Nanjing to Tokyo. Hideo Fukigo slowly clenched his fists. We can't lose, and we won't lose! If we lose to China, it will be the end of the world!
Chapter completed!
