Chapter 616 The Song of Multiple Turrets (Seventeen)

At 3 pm on September 24, the Chinese Front advanced wildly, and the news of the capture of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from the Japanese army spread all over the world. (  Remember this site in one second. Follow me to read money=money ren=people moneyren=rich people, remember this site, you are rich people.)

The Japanese cabinet Minister of the Army of Sora Sugiyama was sweating coldly after being heard, and hurriedly summoned the deputy chief of the base camp staff, Ishihara Kanir. It seems that this guy is the only one in the entire imperial army is calm and rational? That idiot Tojo Hideki screamed and wanted to launch a million troops to punish him. He didn't think about it. Even if he could organize it, how could he transport it to Mongolia, which was thousands of kilometers away, which didn't even have a railway?!

In order to show respect, Sugiyama Moto specially set up a banquet in a private manor near the suburbs of Shijing. The exquisite and elegant Yuzuo and Mount Fuji buried sake were produced. There was a gurgling water in the courtyard in front, and the bamboo water wheels were rising and falling in the rhythm, hitting a refreshing rhythm.

Ishihara Kaner came as promised. The bald head was so shiny that it seemed to have touched half a pound of horse oil. His face was clean and could not see any beard. Although he heard such amazing news, he could not see any panic on his face, and was as quiet as a pool of winter ice water.

Such calmness made General Sugiyama nod sincerely. The core of the empire's staff should have such a courage to remain calm in the face of change!

After a irrelevant greeting, Sugiyama Sora poured sake for Ishihara, lowered his posture and asked, "Ishihara, the war that happened in Manchuria has reached this point. How do you think it is the most appropriate to make progress? How much does the empire need to pay to defeat China?"

Ishihara Kanr was calm and calmly drank, staring at Yu Sheng who was placed on a thin layer of white porcelain bowl, and said in a deep voice: "With the empire's preparation today, there is almost no chance of defeating China. We can do the best, just make peace with them!"

"Is that so?! It's so bad!" Sugiyama Sora was suddenly lost. The most shrewd military expert in the empire said that he couldn't win. It seems that the prospects for this battle are indeed not very good.

"But, is the peace talk useful? We must conquer China, and they obviously do not intend to surrender. This is a very troublesome thing!"

Ishihara smiled faintly: "The major event that concerns the life and death of the empire. It is always so complicated. China is an ancient country with thousands of years of civilization. It has never been conquered by any foreign race. They will only fail, but the final result is that the alien race is assimilated. If we think it will surpass historical decisions, it would be very stupid."

Sugiyama's face turned slightly dark. This sounds so unpleasant! Can the Great Japanese Empire compare with those nomadic peoples? More than ten times more population. In terms of culture, Japan is the ultimate successor and development of Chinese civilization. It is now even better and complete than the Central Plains that the Qing Dynasty had ruined for more than two hundred years. It has the same language and species, and has the advantage of integrating into world civilization. Ruling and integrating China is the result!

But it is difficult to turn against Ishihara. In terms of strategy, the Army Minister is still self-aware and has to rely on this guy to make a judgment.

Taking a deep breath, Sugiyama Soto asked again: "So, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled to be the most beneficial to the long-term interests of the empire?"

Ishihara Kaner immediately replied without thinking: "The first thing we need to do is to avoid its edge! If they want to occupy Mongolia, then give it to them.

Okay. If they want to attack Rehe, they can relax appropriately, but the three provinces of Manchuria must not give up half an inch. They must ensure the existence of Manchuria!"

Give up Mongolia?! Give up Rehe?!

Sugiyama Yuan was stunned and slapped the table angrily and shouted: "This is impossible! In order to take these two places, the empire has paid nearly 100,000 yuan in sacrifices! How can the military spending cost 1 billion yuan? Such a statement will be punished by heaven!"

Ishihara Kanur smiled faintly and said, "This is the best way! If we do not give up, we cannot let the peace lovers in the Chinese people find the opportunity to play a role. And Chairman Chiang also needs enough face to step down! In fact, this loss of interests to the empire is not as great as imagined!"

Sugiyama Moto shook his head, but it was still difficult to understand. In his opinion, even in the eyes of most Japanese soldiers, the integrity of Manchuria and the occupation of Mongolia were a lifetime of glory. The Japanese Empire has always belonged to Pixiu, and can only eat it, not vomit it! At all costs, we must also preserve the results!

Ishihara Kanir said, "A big country like China with a population of 400 million or 500 million or more land worth thousands of square kilometers, once the national spirit is excited, the first force is very terrible. Anyone who stands in front will be crushed and we cannot do such stupid things. As long as they are given the opportunity to vent and their spirits are removed, internal disputes will gain the upper hand. At that time, it will not be too late for us to make profits in chaos!"

"Besides, with the empire being completely unprepared, it is not in line with the long-term strategy to fight with China. If we give up Mongolia, we can declare it and return it to the Soviet Union and trigger a conflict between them; if we give up part of the Rehe River and give most people the excuse to stop the war, the empire will avoid the most dangerous impact. Then the next rhythm will be in our hands!"

Ishihara Kan'er clenched his fist hard, as if he had grasped the development of the entire world, and a proud smile appeared on his face.

General Sugiyama Moto nodded deeply: "Yehe! He is worthy of being the think tank of the empire! His insights are extraordinary! If we introduce Russia, our pressure will be greatly reduced! This matter can be handled according to your ideas. However, the navy does not seem to want to follow our plan!"

The Imperial Navy has always dominated the position, with military expenditure and industrial production prioritizing their needs, and they are still as bearish as ever. Although they have been defeated by Zhu Bin in a row, they are not dominant in the cabinet now, but in the hearts of the people, they are the real representatives.

Now that China and Japan are on war, the navy seems to be planning an unprecedented major action!

"Navy..." Ishihara Kanir couldn't help scratching his head, looking helpless, and sighed, "It's really a big trouble! If they take the initiative to attack, the trouble will definitely not be small! The army will also be involved, and hopefully, they will achieve ideal results!"

Is it ideal? Obviously unlikely! No matter how big the crisis is, the cracks left by history are always irreparable!

On September 25, the Japanese ambassador to Moscow secretly proposed an agreement to return Mongolia to Soviet and Russian jurisdiction, so as to maintain stability and unity in the Far East with good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries. Soviet and Russian immediately issued a solemn statement, demanding that China immediately withdraw from the re-government and secretly send troops into Western Xinjiang to assist Sheng Shicai in a new round of attack on the Ma family army.
