When the news of the independent division taking Chengde spread, it once again set off an uproar.
What is the place in Chengde Chengde, Hebei, but the gateway of the devil's puppet Manchukuo means that the independent division is about to march to the three eastern provinces Ten years of fall.
It has almost become a reserve for the Japanese army, and has become a springboard for the Japanese army to attack Chinese territory Basically, there is no way for Chinese troops to operate in the three eastern provinces.
It's just that when the battle loss ratio was issued, most people were also silent.
In everyone's understanding, the independent division has always been able to win more with less, except for the last battle of Xuzhou, there are not many such battle losses at all.
In this way, the people also know that it is definitely not a simple matter to take back the three eastern provinces.
Japan, Imperial Palace.
"Tojo-kun, do we have too much confidence in the Kwantung Army" Emperor Showa opened his mouth lightly, frowned, and dropped the telegram in his hand, "Can't even hold the land of Manchukuo?"
"Your Majesty."
Hideki Tojo exhaled, "Although the Independent Division has taken Chengde, there is no way for the Independent Division to move troops in the short term.
In other words, although we lost Chengde, we still did not lag behind too much in terms of battle damage, and it was basically the same."
"Baga is basically equal, we are the defensive side, you tell me, the defensive side and the attacking side have the same battle losses, who is strong and who is weak" Emperor Showa scolded, on the Pacific battlefield, continuous defeats, on the Chinese battlefield, even the land of Manchukuo, the independent division has begun to have ideas, not to mention, the defense line arranged by the heavy troops was actually taken by the independent division, which made him not angry, "Is Umezu Mijiro eating white rice, and he swore to me before that Manchukuo will be fine, now?"
Hideki Tojo also sighed, the strength of the Kwantung Army was transferred to the Pacific theater, so the independent division seized this opportunity.
If he was Zhou Weiguo, he would also seize this opportunity, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the defense line has been lost, and the warriors have also retreated."
Moreover, there is no way for the independent division to send troops in a short period of time, not to mention, the empire is now fighting on multiple fronts, and it relies heavily on Manchukuo and Southeast Asia for supplies and everything, please calm your anger. ” Emperor Showa closed his eyes, then clasped his hands and exhaled, "I know, it's just that I'm a little angry in my heart after all." ” "Your Majesty, the situation in the empire is not very good now."
Hideki Tojo opened his mouth to persuade, "The Shina side has already dragged too many troops from the empire, and the task that Takeshita-kun was asked to carry out before can be started again." ” "You mean" "Hey, most of the empire's troops are still in China, although the empire occupies most of China's land, but many troops still have to be supplied by the empire, and they can't be self-sufficient."
"Yalu Tojo-kun, don't let me hear such words again in the future, it's easy to withdraw, but it's hard to take it again, you know?"
"Hi" "As for the military quartermaster, the empire can still last for a while, and your task is to defeat the United States as soon as possible."
Hideki Tojo was silent, yes, if they can solve the threat of the United States, then there will not be much of a problem on the battlefield in China, but is the United States really so easy to solve?
However, they still have to fight.
Because, if you don't fight, there will be an abyss ahead Only by continuing can there be a glimmer of hope.
"Tojo-kun, I know that the road ahead is very difficult."
Looking at the silent Tojo Hideki, Emperor Showa was also uncomfortable, how did he come over after so many days and nights, he always hoped that his troops would win the battle, hoping that good news could be sent back But the truth is the opposite of what he hoped.
He didn't want to give up.
He wanted to be like Emperor Meiji It will bring a grand era to the Japanese people "But, Empire, there's no way to give up what you know" Hideki Tojo nodded, and when he spoke again, his eyes were already clear and firm, "What Your Majesty said is true, but, the plan on Takeshita-kun's side still has to continue, at least, we have to delay time, so that the Shina side will not start a war easily."
"That's the truth" "As for the showdown against the United States in the Pacific Theater, the warriors on the front line will definitely do their best" "Well, please" The two monarchs and ministers once again strengthened their confidence.
If Zhou Weiguo was here, he would have to applaud them.
He was a little moved by this mutual support.
Chongqing, when Jun Takeshita received the order, he was flustered, and he tried to delay as much as possible "Young Master" "Well, help me make an appointment with the head of diplomacy on the Nationalist Government's side tomorrow."
"Hi" Jun Takeshita exhaled, knowing that it was Zhou Weiguo's actions that made the Japanese military high-level a little scared, and shook his head helplessly, he didn't know how long this kind of tug of war would exist, but he knew that as long as this war didn't end for a day, he would not be able to realize his ideals for a day.
It's just that he still has to carry out the orders of the monarch and the military department.
This kind of order does not violate his principles.
"Mr.
Cheskovsky, as you know, you and I have signed a non-aggression pact."
Umezu Mijiro smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, and looked at the blonde ambassador in front of him.
"Not bad."
"In other words, the people of Japan and the Soviet Union are friendly."
"Your Excellency Commander is right."
"Now, my Manchukuo is under attack by the Independent Division of China."
Umezu Mijiro hooked the corners of his mouth, "The loss is not small, and China and the Soviet Union have always been connected, so I hope your country can put pressure on China." ” "Pressure them to return the land they previously acquired" "If that's the case, then it's better," Umezu Mijiro smiled.
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you joking?"
The Soviet ambassador smiled, put down his glass absently, and looked at Umezu Mijiro.
"I am joking or not, Mr.
Cheskovsky should be very clear, and, I suppose, your country should not want another enemy," Umezu Mijiro smiled, and spoke.
"Of course I don't want to, but you and I are friendly.

It's only been a year since we signed the treaty, has Umezu forgotten?"
"No, no, no, how can it be, it's just that now I'm experiencing some difficulties here, and I just want your country to help me mediate."
"Mediation" "Not bad."
"If it's just mediation, I'll react with the country, but as for whether it can be done, it's not up to me to have the final say."
"Of course.
In fact, our Imperial Japanese Empire has always had the sincerity of peace, and has already sent our Lieutenant General Toshita Takeshita to negotiate peace with the Shina government, but the independent division is really out of common sense":
