Weber seemed to have never thought about whether this was offending Yu Jishi, but Yu Jishi didn't say anything. He was in a state of pride. He stopped fighting and the whole army moved into rest, but he could not. The biggest way of leading troops Yu Jishi learned from Zhuang Jihua was political agitation.

The various army of the Expeditionary Force held a celebration of victory. Senior generals such as Bai Chongxi and Yu Jishi went to the various army to attend the meeting to award medals to officers and soldiers at all levels. A total of more than 10,000 people in the army were awarded various medals such as the Guoguang Medal, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and the Zhongqin Medal.

Political officers are busy writing letters for soldiers and sending their meritorious service home. Soldiers from the southwest attach great importance to this. The news of their meritorious service will be sent to the streets or villages, and then they will be delivered to their homes, and their homes will be held high in the villages or streets from now on.

Soldiers in other regions value this silence. Their hometown does not have such strict organization and support for the soldiers who went on the expedition.

In the busy life, changes also quietly arose. Yu Jishi transferred the 66th Army from the Eastern Front and transferred the 58th Army to the East City to replace the 66th Army. Soon, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the transfer of Zhang Zhen back to his country, served as the commander of the southern Jin Dynasty, and the chief of staff of the Second War Zone.

The Sixty-Sixth Army was responsible for defending the Eastern Front in the battle of northern Myanmar. Neither Iida nor Yu Jishishi Northeast Myanmar were very particular. Neither sides invested heavily in this area. The Expeditionary Force only released the Sixty-Sixth Army with the weakest combat power, and the Japanese army only released a rebuilt 56th Division.

But after the war started, what was surprising was that the miners from Jiuzhou, driven by the ambition to restore honor, launched a fierce attack on the 66th Army, first defeating the New 28th Division, forcing Zhang Zhen to give up the front line of the border and retreat to Jingdong. The 56th Division followed and pursued, and Ao Zhan broke out in Jingdong. The 66th Army suffered heavy losses, Zhang Zhen was at a loss, and Gong Chu took over the command urgently, but the situation was irreversible. Gong Chu commanded his troops to withdraw from Jingdong and retreat to the China-Myanmar border.

During the entire northern Myanmar war, the only one who suffered failure was the Sixty-Sixth Army, who were naturally held accountable after the war. With the warm atmosphere of the victory in northern Myanmar, Yu Jishi replaced the Sixty-Sixth Army with the fastest move. He transferred Dai Anlan from the New Eighth Army to serve as the commander of the Sixty-Sixth Army, and Liu Bolong, the commander of the New 28th Division, was dismissed and investigated.

Yu Jishi transferred Cai Renjie, deputy commander of the 58th Division, from the 74th Army, to serve as the commander of the new 28th Division; Ma Weiji, commander of the new 29th Division, and Chen Xiaoyun, former deputy commander of the 57th Division of the 74th Army, to take over as the commander.

The Expeditionary Force celebrated its victory on the front line of Lashio, compared to Singapore, this was a bleak cloud. The news of the disastrous defeat in northern Myanmar came. Shinai Shou, who was having supper, was stunned and it took a long time to spit out a mouthful of blood. Shinai Shou knew in his heart the impact of the defeat in northern Myanmar on the entire situation.

From the Greater Khingan Mountains to the East Indies, Japan devoted its whole country to this military gamble. The taste was very clear about the high-ranking generals like Soichi Teraunuchi. The current situation is like two gamblers sitting at the gambling table. Japan's only hope is to keep betting chips and intimidate the other party to continue betting. But the battle in northern Myanmar made all this fail.

The failure of the Battle of Northern Myanmar will inevitably lead the allies to discover Japan's dilemma. In order to carry out the Battle of Northern Myanmar, Japan stopped its offensive preparations for New Guinea, and drew troops and supplies from the Soviet Russian battlefield and the East Indies, hoping to defeat the Chinese and British Allied Forces in one fell swoop, stabilize the situation in Myanmar, and form flanking guarantees. Now everything has failed, and the supplementary troops and materials! $ is not known where it comes from.

In addition to the previous Battle of Midway, within a year, the Japanese army and navy suffered two key failures. Midway was defeated, curbing the offensive of the Japanese Navy in 7; the defeat in northern Myanmar further exposed the various weaknesses of the Japanese in 7.

First, the troops that filled the losses of northern Myanmar came from nowhere, and second, the materials that launched another attack came from nowhere.

Iida Sujiro committed suicide due to crime, but Sakaichi Seizuna could not take this step. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he had to clean up the mess. The Southern Army Command was brightly lit, and senior officers gathered in the conference room, but the meeting lasted for a whole night, and in the end, only two results were produced. Mudaguchi was appointed to replace Iida Sujiro as the commander of the 15th Army. Mudaguchi's primary task was to defend Mandalay and establish a defensive barrier for southern Myanmar. Secondly, the operation in New Guinea was postponed indefinitely.

The news of the defeat also shocked Tokyo, and the Japanese cabinet was shocked. At the Imperial Conference, Hideki Tojo angrily asked Chief of Staff Moto Sugiyama to resign. Sugiyama refused firmly, and the two quarreled in front of Hirohito.

"The defeat in northern Myanmar was broken, and the entire army was broken. As the chief of staff who commanded the operation, he had an unshirkable responsibility!" Tojo waved his fist and shouted without caring about etiquette: "He did not make a correct estimate of the situation. He was old and could not make a correct and reasonable judgment in the face of a complex situation.

Sugiyama was sweating from his head. He took out his handkerchief and wiped off the sweat beads from his forehead. He looked at Hirohito as if he was asking for help, but Hirohito looked at him without looking. Suddenly, he realized that he had lost Hirohito's trust. From the Lugou Bridge Incident to the Pacific War, his judgments were repeatedly made mistakes. The most famous thing was to resolve China in three months. Now, five years have passed. The war has not only not stopped, but has become increasingly fiercer and the situation in Japan is becoming more and more dangerous.

Without the support of the emperor, Sugiyama Moto had to stand up and bow slightly to Hirohito, and said in pain: "I have given up His Majesty's trust and failed to prepare for the empire's strength. I requested to resign from the position of Chief of Staff of the Army."

Hirohito then slowly spoke: "During this period, I often think about my grandfather's poems. There are brothers in the world, but there are endless disputes. However, in today's world, there are endless wars and bloodshed. I always think about it and feel heartbroken. Can't you find a way to calm the war and stop bleeding?"

Then he sighed again: "Japan is experiencing pain. I hope all the families will work together to create world peace." After that, Hirohito stood up, and the ministers in the lower head stood up at the same time, sending Hirohito off with honor.

After the Imperial Conference, Sugiyama announced his resignation. The young officers of the Army Province were wondering who the next Chief of Staff would be, but before they could start a discussion, the successor Chief of Staff announced that Tojo announced that he would be the Chief of Staff himself. After the young officers of the Army Province were shocked, they were in an uproar.

In the history of the Japanese Army, no one has served as both prime minister and minister of the army, and also as chief of staff of the army, combining three major positions. Tojo broke through this restriction, and the Japanese political sai team recognized it. "The Prime Minister should not serve as chief of staff!"

"Nonsense! Japan is now facing siege from the United States, Britain, China and the Soviet Union. Only by strengthening power and concentrating power can we overcome the difficulties." Before the man finished speaking, someone stood up and refuted loudly. "Nonsense!" The officers' club was quarreled, but the two people on a table inside looked at everything in front of him silently. "Ling Gaojun, the situation in the empire is very difficult." Li Gao Nosuke drank the sake in his hand and then sighed heavily: "The empire is now full of crisis, and the China incident has not been resolved, and the Soviet-Russian battlefield has been added and the Pacific battlefield is needed. You should seek peace as soon as possible. Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly."

After the war with the Soviet Union, Ritakanosuke was transferred to the Soviet battlefield and served as the first minister of the Kwantung Army's General Staff. As the Japanese-Soviet battlefield entered a sedentary period, Ritakanosuke had nothing to do in Manchuria. After the war to the south began, most of the Kwantung Army's supplies were transferred to the Southern Army, which caused dissatisfaction among the Kwantung Army. This time he returned to the country to ask for supplies under the order of commander Umetsu Mijiro.

But at home, Ritakanosuke received unexpected news. The commander of the North China dispatched Hachimaru Yasuji Okamura asked the General Staff to serve as deputy chief of staff of the North China dispatched Army. This news made him realize a major opportunity, an opportunity that could play a huge role.

The Soviet-Russian battlefield is too far from China, and he also followed the trend and entered the Shenju period, but he was very dissatisfied with this Shenju period. He hoped to play a greater role, but the headquarters never sent anyone to contact him, so he had to enter the Shenju period. The Deputy Chief of Staff of the North China Expeditionary Force not only means that his rank can be upgraded to the level of general, but also has a solid layer of protection, but can also control the Japanese trends in the entire North China and even the Chinese battlefield."

When Rikio Nosuke received this news, he immediately changed his main purpose of returning to China to seek the position of deputy chief of staff of the North China Expeditionary Army. Yusehoon, opposite, was the confidant of Major General Tomonaga Kyoji Tomonaga, the director of the Provincial Personnel Bureau of the Army.

But all of this did not have the shock caused by domestic difficulties. The depression on the streets of Tokyo almost thought that he was not Tokyo. There were almost no running cars on the streets, and all gasoline was controlled materials. The government advocated riding bicycles, and all supplies were controlled materials. Food and salt were within the control scope. The government frequently launched a campaign to offer iron and copper. The recruits boarded the port were generally only sixteen or seventeen years old. In the military officers' club where they are now, there were few places with alcohol, and there were almost no alcoholic beverages in the shops. On the street, both men and women were dressed in old clothes because there was no new fabric in the shops.

"In just five years, the foundation of the sage has been fully raised. Even if it doesn't fight, Japan will not support it for two years." Ritakanosuke sighed in his heart. It only takes another two or three years to achieve the North Korean **.

"I heard that the Prime Minister has decided to let Mr. Kawashiro, the Ambassador to the Storm, test the attitude of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. The Imperial Army won consecutive battles, and the United States and the United States should be clear about our determination." Yu Chengxun said confidently.

Riotakasuke shook his head slightly. He never understood where the Japanese self-righteousness came from, as if he thought that as long as he showed confidence, others would obey his intentions. But in fact, the joint declaration issued by Roosevelt and Churchill, the Atlantic Charter, had already shown their attitude, but the United States had not participated in the war at that time. What conditions would they propose now? Only God knows. "What about the China issue? If the China issue is not resolved, the war will not stop." Riotakasuke pulled the topic to the China incident.

"We will not give in on the issue of China. Manchuria must be magnificent, and the entire army must garrison in North China. This is our basic condition." Yu Chengxun said seriously: "We have fought for five years, and countless soldiers have shed blood and sacrificed. The people have endured great pain. It is unacceptable to have no gain."

Ritakanosuke did not have an interface, but continued his thinking: "I heard that Commander Okamura launched a huge battle in North China to achieve great results. He did a great job." "Yes, General Okamura launched a North China security battle that completely wiped out the Communist army that had been entrenched in North China for many years. Why is Ritaka Jun moved?" Yumeko stared at him with interest. "Commander Nishio and General Sugiyama had both wanted to eliminate the GC army entrenched in Hebei, but unfortunately they failed every time. Now Commander Okamura has finally done it." Ritakanosuke breathed a sigh of relief, not concealing his regret and envy.

"Hahaha," Yu Seong-hoon smiled and said, "You guy, I'm afraid you're thinking about the Deputy Chief of Staff. Tell you that your wish has been fulfilled, the base camp has approved, and the transfer order is about to be issued. You are a double-happy place. Prime Minister Tojo decided to take your military rank a higher level. Congratulations to you for being the top Major General."

Jie Chengxun picked up the wine glass, and Li Gaozhide was ecstatic in his heart. He did not hide his excitement and clashed with Jie Chengxun three times. He drank the pot of wine in one breath.

"Another pot!" Ritakasuke shouted to the hostess, who took small steps and bowed and said, "Sorry, sir, according to regulations, there can only be one pot per table, and no more."

Ritsunosuke was stunned. Yumekoon shook his head slightly and let the waitress leave. He turned his head to face Tatsunosuke and said, "Ritsuko, the country is different from Manchuria. The wine here is strictly controlled. In fact, brewing wine in China has stopped, and all the wine is shipped from China."

"Ah" Ritakanosuke's surprise was real, and the difficulties in Japan were evident. He immediately exclaimed: "We will not be defeated by temporary difficulties. As long as the whole nation is united, we will definitely overcome difficulties and create the supreme glory of the Yamato nation." "Yes, Ritaka, let us work together." Yu Chengxun picked up the empty wine glass and slapped it all in one go.

Ritsukonosuke did not go to the base camp to get his transfer order. After all, his task was to urge materials, and doing so would arouse dissatisfaction from Umezu Mijiro. If he objected, the order would likely be taken back.

In addition to this order, Ritakanosuke returned to Manchuria empty-handed, and the base camp did not allocate even a bullet to the Kwantung Army. Meijiro Umezu was extremely angry after receiving the report. Ritakanosuke could only explain: "Commander, Prime Minister Tojo believes that the focus of the current situation is South Ocean, Northern Myanmar is defeated, and the situation in Myanmar is critical. In order to save the situation, everything! $ are gathering in Myanmar. For this reason, the Southern Army has stopped its offensive preparations against New Guinea and also stopped its offensive preparations against Australia. The materials of the Chinese dispatched troops can only meet one-third. Commander, the country is currently extremely difficult to encircle, and the imperial factory has already started at full capacity, but it still cannot meet the needs of various fronts. The base camp means that we must use Manchuria's industry to support war."

Meijiro Umezu had a gloomy face and looked out the window. From spring to summer, his heart was always held. After the war between the southbound forces began, the Kwantung Army was greatly weakened. From soldiers to supplies, not only were they unsatisfied, but eight divisions were drawn from the Kwantung Army to join the war between the southbound forces.

He now likes the snow in Manchuria very much. As long as it snows, the Soviet army will not be able to launch an attack, but he cannot and dare not place his hopes on it. If there is no supplement this winter, he is not sure whether the Soviet army will launch an attack next spring. Now it is double monthly tickets, two monthly tickets are supported, and he calls for monthly tickets to support!!!

Now it’s double monthly tickets, two monthly tickets are supported, and I call for monthly tickets to support!!!
