There are not many elite troops in Japan. Many troops were just formed after the war was not good. After all, once the war approached Japan, they needed to have enough troops to protect the local area.

In the minds of the top Japanese and Chinese leaders, they hope that if overseas wars inevitably fail, they still have strong enough troops in their homeland to deter enemy troops who attempt to land in Japan and Chinese. Even if they cannot win this war, they will at least have to obtain a decent peace. In this case, at least they will not lose too badly in this war.

"Which troops should be drawn to Nanyang? Your Excellency the Prime Minister requires that elite troops must be drawn, including chariot troops, and the total force must exceed 200,000." After the chief of staff of the Japanese Army General Moto Sugiyama returned to the General Staff, he began to think about this issue.

"Come, go and invite the Deputy Chief of Staff." General Sugiyama Moto ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." The secretary immediately went to call.

In less than five minutes, Lieutenant General Qin Yansan, deputy chief of staff of the Japanese Army, arrived at General Sugiyama Moto's office.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff!" Lieutenant General Qin Yansan stood respectfully in front of General Sugiyama Moto.

"Qin Yanjun, please sit down." General Sugiyama Yuan said.

Lieutenant General Qin Yansan nodded and sat on a sofa in front of General Sugiyama.

"Qin Yan's army, the situation in the South China Sea is very unfavorable to the Southern Army. The Burmese Front had just suffered another big defeat in the Khmer and lost tens of thousands of people. Under such circumstances, we are in danger of losing the entire South China Sea. The Prime Minister hopes that we can draw an elite force from the local area to reinforce the Southern Army, defeat the Chinese people, and reverse the situation in the South China Sea." General Sugiyama Moto said.

"Nanyang is indeed very important to the Great Japanese Empire and must not be discarded. I support sending reinforcements to Nanyang. I wonder how large scale of reinforcements the Prime Minister decided to send to Nanyang?" asked Lieutenant General Qin Yansan.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister hopes to draw an army of 200,000 people to go directly to the Indochina colony to defeat the Chinese. Although the Chinese are very strong now, the most terrifying thing about them is their development speed. If we cannot solve the Chinese people as soon as possible, they will develop bigger and bigger, and even become a major concern of the Great Japanese Empire." General Sugiyama Moto sighed. He also admitted that the Southern Army's willingness to develop the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was definitely the biggest mistake made by the Southern Army. If it could completely eliminate it with absolute superior force in the early stages of its development, there would be no such thing as the latter.

"Twenty-hundred thousand elite troops? This is almost a dimming of the local elite troops!" Lieutenant General Qin Yansan took a breath. This time, reinforcements transferred to Nanyang were definitely the most powerful.

General Sugiyama Moto nodded: "The reinforcements drawn include chariot troops. If these reinforcements can destroy the Chinese people in one fell swoop after they arrive in the Indochina colony, it will be worth it."

"That's true." Lieutenant General Qin Yansan nodded. Indeed, at this time, eliminating the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and ensuring the security of the South China Sea has become the primary task of the Japanese army.

"Qin Yanjun, which troops do you think we can draw to Nanyang?" asked General Sugiyama Moto.

"For the chariot troops, please draw the 1st Chariot Division. The 1st Chariot Division was the first to be formed, with the most well-equipped and the strongest combat power. The Chinese army in the South China Sea has extremely powerful armored forces. If the 1st Chariot Division goes, it should be able to defeat the Chinese armored troops." Lieutenant General Qin Yansan suggested.

"Well, it's more appropriate to draw the 1st Chariot Division." General Sugiyama Moto nodded.

"If the infantry division is in use, the 11th Division, the 25th Division, the 44th Division, the 57th Division, the 72nd Division, the 73rd Division, the 77th Division, the 81st Division, the 84th Division and the 86th Division can be drawn. These ten infantry divisions are already the few elite troops in the local army. If more elite troops are needed, I am afraid that the only way to draw from the Kwantung Army is to be drawn." Lieutenant General Qin Yansan said.

The Kwantung Army is one of the three major general armies of the Japanese army. However, after the failure of the battle to go north to the Soviet Union, the Japanese army had to give up going north. This made the Kwantung Army have hundreds of thousands of troops, but it has been stationed in the northeast. In addition to occasionally sending troops to support the Chinese dispatched troops, the main force was used to guard against the Soviet Union.

If some troops can be drawn from the Kwantung Army, this will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient troops of the Japanese army.

"Do you Kanto Army? Forget it. Although the Soviet Far East Army was constantly transferred to the European battlefield, their strength was still very strong and no one could guarantee whether they would suddenly attack the Kanto Army. Manchuria is also the foundation of the Great Japanese Empire, and there is no need to lose. Therefore, the Kanto Army cannot be used." General Sugiyama Moto said.

"Hi, Chief of Staff!" Lieutenant General Qin Yansan nodded.

"Then draw the above ten infantry divisions and the 1st Chariot Division. Order them immediately to gather at the coastal port. You must arrive in the Indochina colony in the shortest time." General Sugiyama Moto ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Lieutenant General Qin Yansan replied.

After confirming these divisions, General Sugiyama Moto immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office and reported to Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo nodded with satisfaction after learning about the divisions that General Sugiyama Moto was about to dispatch.

"Yoxi, these are the real elite divisions of the Imperial Army of Japan. If they are sent to Nanyang, they will definitely defeat the Chinese people." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

"Your Excellency, we think so too. This time, we will definitely sweep the Chinese people in Southeast Asia and completely defeat them." General Sugiyama Moto said.

"There is another question, that is, do these troops belong to the commander of the Southern Army, or are they listed as a separate army and are directly commanded by the base camp?" asked General Sugiyama Moto.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo hesitated for a while, and then said, "Part these troops into the Nanyang Task Force and be directly under the command of the base camp. However, when they were fighting in the Nanyang, they were controlled by the Southern Army Command. After defeating the Chinese people, they would be transferred back to their homeland."

General Sugiyama Moto nodded: "Where is the candidate for the commander?"

"Chief of Staff, who do you think is better for this commander?" Hideki Tojo asked back.

"Let General Tada Jun as the commander." General Sugiyama Moto suggested.

Tojo Hideki hesitated for a moment and nodded.
