"Hunan!" Cheng Qianfan almost blurted out.
Logically speaking, he should have thought for a while before answering Saito Yataro's question.
However, Cheng Qianfan could see that Saito Yataro was unable to get up because of the urine. If he was worried that he would not get to the point soon, Saito Yataro would not be patient and go directly to Xiaoxue, which would be awful.
At the same time, he did not deliberately say that Hubei and Jiangxi are hiding their shortcomings, and directly pointed out that they aim to attract the attention and appreciation of Saito Yataro.
"Why choose Hunan?" Saito Yataro's expression moved, and the map stick in his hand clicked on the map. "There are still remaining areas in Hubei and Jiangxi that have not been occupied, so why don't you consider taking my hands?"
"Wuhan is in hand, Nanchang has already been abandoned." Cheng Qianfan thought and said, "When Miyazaki sees it, only Xue Boling from Hunan can be the general's opponent, and the others are all native chickens and tiles."
A proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "As for Hubei, Jiangxi and other areas that are still in lingering, how can you use a ox knife to kill chickens? I can send an edict to a branch of the 101st Division!"
"Hahaha." Saito Yataro laughed, and he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki.
This is a young man with full enthusiasm and strong confidence in the power of the empire.
A decree is decided?!
Although Saito Yataro also knew in his heart that the war had been going on, the empire would need to go through a cruel and iron-blooded battle if it wanted to occupy any place.
But he still likes the word—
This word is very good and he likes it very much.
Especially the reason given by Kentaro Miyazaki to choose Hunan as a tear-up is that only Xue Boling, the ninth war zone in Chongqing, can be his opponent of Yataro Saito, and the others are all native chickens and tiles. He likes this very much, which is simply to his heart.
But, it's a pity.
Saito Yataro sighed slightly and shook his head.
"But Miyazaki was wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked carefully with a nervous and ashamed expression.
"Xue Boling, a famous Chinese general, I also long to fight with him." Saito Yataro's tone was filled with regret and loneliness, "He is the commander."
Commander?
Cheng Qianfan immediately knew who the commander in Saito Yataro's mouth was:
Commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Guangang Village.
Most importantly, he confirmed an information from Yataro Saito:
The Japanese army's target was Changsha, and the 11th Japanese army generals from Gangcun were all descending!
"Xue Boling, the 9th China War Zone, Changsha!" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, and he walked to the map and pointed at Changsha. "Your Excellency General... You You Gangcun He... The Locust Army is going to attack Changsha?"
As he said that, he stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
He murmured, "Changsha, Changsha."
While thinking, Cheng Qianfan inadvertently glanced at Kazuo Saito, with a little nervous and anxious expression.
"Yes, Changsha." Saito Yataro said in a deep voice, his eyes nailed to the map like nails, and the map stick pointed at the location of Changsha. "This time, the empire will pull out this thorn in the face."
Cheng Qianfan nodded subconsciously, he was thinking.
Saito Kazuo was unhappy when he saw his uncle actually taught Kentaro Miyazaki himself.
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki still thinking, he could not see the mystery of this battle at the first time, he walked to the map a few steps.
Saito Ichio saluted Saito Yataro first, "Uncle."
Saito Yataro looked at Saito Ichio and nodded slightly. He handed over the map stick in his hand.
Kentaro Miyazaki is indeed an excellent young man, and he naturally appreciates such a young toshihiko.
However, Kentaro Miyazaki is just an outsider after all. Kentaro Miyazaki performed well and gave Imamura Hito a long face, while Kazuo Saito was not. This is the Kirin son of the Saito family.
...
"Changsha, the garrison of the Ninth China War Zone in China, Xue Boling is here." Saito Kazuo said, "Occupying Changsha and completely annihilated the military strength of the Ninth China War Zone in China, the locust army opened the door to Guizhou and Sichuan."
"All annihilate the troops in the ninth China War Zone..." Cheng Qianfan grabbed his chin with one hand and thought.
He bowed to Yataro Saito, and then said, "It was not Miyazaki who had questions about the bravery of the Locust Army. One of my corps warriors could chase three divisions of the Chinese army, but-"
Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "The Chinese people are good at running around. As far as I know, the 9th China War Zone has a force of nearly 200,000, or 200,000 pigs. It is not easy to catch them all."
"Hahaha." Saito Ichio laughed, "Miyazaki Kwan's metaphor is very good, but Miyazaki Kwan--"
There was a hint of unconcealed contempt and pride at the corner of his mouth, "You are not a soldier, you have no experience in war, and you don't know the weakness of the Chinese army. Two hundred thousand pigs will run around, which is indeed difficult to catch, but the two hundred thousand fearful Chinese soldiers are easy to catch and easy to kill."
The map stick in his hand waved on the map and pointed out, "In order to achieve the goal of annihilation of the army of the Ninth China War Zone, the locust army will launch an attack on Changsha from northwest Jiangxi, southern Hubei and northern Hunan."
As he said that, Kazuo Saito drew a circle in Changsha place name with a confident smile, "Xue Boling, the 200,000 troops in the 9th China War Zone will have nowhere to escape!"
...
"If this result can be achieved," Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed expectations and excited expressions, "This will be a huge blow to Chongqing Chang Kaishen, and the empire's full occupation of China will be just around the corner."
"Take Changsha, wipe out its ninth war zone, open the gateway to Sichuan, and force it to surrender to Chongqing." Saito Kazuo talked happily, "This link will lead to one link, and a big thing can be accomplished."
Cheng Qianfan immediately said excitedly, "What Saito Jun said is right. From this we can see that occupying Changsha will be a great achievement, and it will be a great achievement in the history of our great Japanese empire in the future!"
While talking, Cheng Qianfan glanced at Saito Yataro quietly. He noticed that Saito Yataro was still nodding frequently just now, very satisfied with Saito Kazuo's performance, but now his face was gloomy and seemed to be lacking in interest.
He knew that his words were working.
He knew that his words would make Saito feel bad, but that was exactly what he needed.
From the beginning, he did not target Saito Yataro alone.
Saito Yataro is a Japanese lieutenant general. He is very scheming and wants to induce Yataro Saito to explain the Japanese military strategy to him. This may be tried, but it is not too good.
Therefore, Kazuo Saito was his secondary target.
In the car when he came, Saito Kazuo vaguely revealed an important information in his words to show off his importance to Saito Yataro's attention and closeness:
Today, Lord Iwai Eiichi and Imamura Counselor held a secret meeting with his uncle. He was busy all day and exhausted.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan judged that the secret talk between Saito Yataro and Iwai Hideichi would involve new trends in the Japanese army.
This means that Kazuo Saito, who was attending the side, knew a lot about the Japanese military plan.
Therefore, at the beginning, Cheng Qianfan formulated the strategy, with Saito Yataro as the main goal and Saito Ichio as the secondary goal.
However, soon, he adjusted his strategy in time and without giving up inducing Saito Yataro to reveal more information, he placed his bigger target on Saito Ichio.
Sure enough, with his glance, Saito Ichio entered the trap decisively.
Now, he deliberately said that it was to attract Kazuo Saito to speak urgently, and to prove the important role of Saito Yataro's partial division in this battle.
Yes, Cheng Qianfan judged that Saito Yataro's Japanese 101st Division should be used as a partial division in this Changsha battle—
This can be seen from Saito Yataro's words, Xue Boling is the target of Kaang Village, and Saito Yataro's face at this time.
However, what he didn't expect was that his words seemed to be too stimulating to Saito Yataro.
Of course, it may also be that Saito Yataro was so uncomfortable being held in urination, coupled with the combined influence of his bad mood.
"Imamura, it's late at night, I should say goodbye." Saito Yataro suddenly said to Imamura Hitotaro.
Imamura Hitaro looked at Saito Yataro, but he didn't try to keep him. He nodded, "Okay, I will personally farewell to you tomorrow."
Seeing that Saito Yataro suddenly wanted to leave, Miyazaki Kentaro didn't know if he was saying something wrong. Although he was so calm, he still felt a little uneasy.
Imamura Hitaro patted his student's shoulder, "Kentaro, let me send Saito Jun."
"Hayi!"
...
Saito Yataro left under the escort of his guards.
Saito Kazuo also left with the convoy.
The solemn and silence on the street finally eased.
"Kentaro, follow me." Hitotaro Imamura said to Kentaro Miyazaki.
"Hayi." Cheng Qianfan said quickly. He winked at his friend Ryono Sakamoto, who yawned in a fake "no loyalty" manner, saying that he was sleepy and wanted to rest.
Cheng Qianfan glared at Ryono Sakamoto, then quickly stepped forward a few steps and followed Imamura Hitotaro back to the study.
"Teacher, General Saito left in a hurry, and his face..." Cheng Qianfan entered the study and continued the tea in Imamura Hitotaro's teacup, and said a little nervously, "Has I said something wrong just now?"
Imamura Hitaro glanced at his student, and then he suddenly looked serious and nodded and said, "You really have a saying that makes Saito Jun unhappy--"
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki's face change drastically, he laughed, "Don't worry, nothing is serious."
He shook his head and said, "Saito Kwan feels more regretful and knows that you are unintentional and will not blame you."
"The students don't understand." The worry in Cheng Qianfan's eyes still existed. He was respectful and asked earnestly, "Please help me solve my doubts."
Imamura Hitaro smiled slightly, and he realized that if he did not explain the matter thoroughly, he would probably continue to worry.
Yes, Saito is a lieutenant general of the empire after all. Facing the power of the lieutenant general, how could Kentaro, a young man with no background, not be afraid?
In addition, Kentaro was able to speak clearly, think quickly, and speak in a good way today, which was already very outstanding, and he had gained face for him.
He also didn't want the confidence that his student had built up in front of a lieutenant general in the empire to be affected.
Imamura Hitaro came to the map and stretched out his hand.
Cheng Qianfan respectfully presented the map stick with both hands.
...
"The locust army will attack Changsha from northwest Jiangxi, southern Hubei and northern Hunan, and strive to completely wipe out its headquarters in the Ninth War Zone." said Imamura Hitaro.
"Saito-kun said the same thing just now." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Saito-kun is worthy of being a famous family, and his judgment is consistent with the military's strategic deployment."
Imamura Hitaro snorted coldly.
Saito Ichio is indeed quite capable, otherwise he would not have been valued by him.
However, only talking about today's events. Today, he, Eiichi Iwai and Yataro Saito once deduced this "Hunan-Jiangxi Battle" on the sand table. Kazuo Saito was attending the side, so how could he not know the military strategy?
Thinking that after Saito Ichio entered the study, he saluted Saito Yataro first, and then he was his counselor, Imamura Hito felt uncomfortable.
...
"According to the established strategy, the main attack on Changsha in southern Hubei and northern Hunan." Imamura Hitaro said, "The Third Division of the Locust Army, the Sixth Division, the Thirteenth Division, and the Thirteenth Division are directed to Changsha!"
Hearing Imamura Hitotaro said the number of the Japanese "Sixth Division" in his mouth, even though he had rich lurking experience and super psychological qualities, Cheng Qianfan still subconsciously breathed rapidly, his eyes shrank, and his fists were clenched subconsciously.
Imamura Hitaro glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and frowned slightly.
"Onboard!" Cheng Qianfan's eyes were red, and his tone was filled with excitement, "These are all for our elite division of the Locust Army. The glorious army can hunt Changsha, which is so spectacular!"
Imamura Hitaro smiled slightly and shook his head again, so that's it-
My student is really interesting. In fact, he is quite greedy for life and death. However, he has great respect for the imperial soldiers and likes military affairs.
"Kentaro, haven't you understood what we said just now?" Hitotaro Imamura asked, looking at his student.
"Ah?" Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth wide. He looked at Hitotaro Imamura. Under his eyes, he finally showed a look of shame. "Teacher, the student has just given the glorious military power of the Empire..."
He stood attentively, bowed, uneasy, "Kentaro has disappointed you."
"Think about the numbers of these troops carefully." Imamura Hitaro said in a deep voice.
"The Third Division, the Sixth Division, the Thirteenth Division, the Thirteenth Division..." Cheng Qianfan said slowly with serious expression. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "There is no 101st Division!"
Then, he suddenly realized, "Teacher, I remembered that General Saito said that Xue Boling was the target of Your Excellency Gangcun, and his words were full of bleakness."
He paused and continued, "I thought it was General Saito who regretted not being able to compete with Xue Boling for his own military rank. It turned out that General Saito was because..."
He showed a look of depression, "So that's it. What I said was indeed extremely inappropriate to General Saito. But this was unexpected-"
Then, Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Hitaro with confusion in his eyebrows, "Teacher, the Saito Division is the victorious army of the Empire. He has made his first contribution in the battle of Nanchang. Why did he not participate in the battle as the main army this time?"
The main Japanese army was advancing Changsha from northern Hunan and southern Hubei, and the information on the numbers of each unit had been obtained.
Cheng Qianfan ‘takes victory’—
Saito Yataro's 101st Division must have participated in this Changsha Battle. What he wants to figure out now is where the Saito Division went and what the mission is. The whereabouts of such an elite Japanese division must be clarified.
Looking at the puzzled look in Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes and the sincere and pure desire for knowledge, Imamura Hitotaro's feeling of "being a good teacher" also filled with it.
This is the real reason why he likes Miyazaki Kentaro very much. If you don’t understand, ask, and you will never pretend to understand. He also respects his teacher very much. Who wouldn’t like such a student who respects teachers and is eager to learn?
It's definitely not because of a few bottles of red wine.
He has heard vaguely in the past few days that Naito had previously said privately that he was very filial to Kentaro Miyazaki and even favored him more.
Humph, he is a senior diplomat in the empire and is a counselor, so how can he lack red wine?
It's a joke!
