Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Island Army!

Matsuoka and Hoshino leaned back on their chairs with gloomy faces!
Recently, they have taken a series of actions aimed at naval warfare, but so far no substantial progress has been made, which directly caused panic among the island nations.

After the devil, the locust, asked about his crimes, they, high-ranking officials, naturally needed to give a reasonable explanation.

According to the military rank and position, Dongtiaoji should be responsible, but Dongtiaoji is an individual, and after giving Tian Locust an ambiguous reply, he asked the two to come to the military headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Excellency Matsuoka, it seems that you and I may become Tojo's scapegoat this time. We must think of a way now."

Matsuoka shook his head helplessly: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us. When the time comes, I can just throw the responsibility as much as possible on the bastards in the navy."

"Tojo is very clear about the situation now, and we should not fight among ourselves."

"As for him calling us here, I guess it's probably because of other things. I think it's probably because of things in Northwest Shanxi or the Kwantung Army."

Hoshino nodded: "It's not impossible. At the beginning, four A-class divisions were transferred from China to Northwest Shanxi, but they were wiped out by the entire army."

"If these 12 people were all thrown into the sea war, maybe the situation would not be like this. This is probably the reason why His Majesty Tian Locust reprimanded us."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, and the two quickly got up and looked towards the door.

The next second, Dongtiaoji walked in with a dark face, looking just like his dead father.

"Your Excellency Tojo, has His Majesty the Locust blamed you again?" Hoshino asked in a low voice.

Dong Tiaoji walked to his seat and slammed the telegram in his hand on the table.

"Damn it, things happened one after another. The naval war is the responsibility of the bastards in the navy. What does it have to do with our army!"

Matsuoka took a step forward: "Your Excellency Tojo, I think you can explain this matter clearly to His Majesty Heavenly Locust."

Tojo nodded: "That's right, I have written a report on this matter and submitted it to His Majesty Tianlocust."

Hoshino was taken aback: "Then why are you so angry?"

Dong Tiaoji glanced at him, grabbed the telegram and handed it to the two of them.

"This is yesterday's telegram from the Kwantung Army. All the cities north of Hacheng in the northeast are lost!"

"Nani?" Matsuoka and Hoshino's eyes widened sharply, and they hurriedly checked the telegram, their jaws almost hit the ground in surprise.

"How long has it been since Wu Qianli made such a big fuss in Manchukuo? What are Ishihara and Meizumi doing?"

Dong Tiao Chicken snorted coldly: "This is also something I haven't thought about clearly!"

"The Kwantung Army has a million men, and the weapons and equipment are not bad. Even if I transfer 10,000+ elites from the army, are the rest just soldiers and generals?"

"There is a think tank like Ishihara, but the situation is still so bad. What does this mean? It means that Umezumi is an out-and-out fool!"

Dong Tiaoji was full of anger in every sentence, obviously he was very disappointed with Umezumi now.

Hoshino frowned: "Your Excellency Tojo, I think Umetsumi is no longer suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. For the sake of the overall situation, I suggest that a new general be selected to take over in the Northeast!"

Tojo Chicken frowned, and looked at Hoshino warily.

No matter how Umezumi is, at least he is his own person. Hoshino proposes a substitution at this time, and Tojo Chicken will inevitably think too much.

Seeing this, Matsuoka at the side knew that Tojo Chicken was suspicious, and quickly said: "Your Excellency Matsuoka, I don't think it is necessary to act rashly for the time being regarding the change of commander."

"The situation is complicated now. Changing the commander in the middle of the battle may cause instability in the army, and the result may only be counterproductive!"

Hearing this, Totiao Chicken's face softened.

"Matsuoka-kun is right. The current situation is turbulent, and there are very few army generals who are qualified to be the commander of the Kwantung Army."

"Although the bastard Umezumi made such a big mistake, he is still a general of the empire after all. He knows the Kwantung Army well. If he changes at this time, it will give Wu Qianli an opportunity. Hoshino-kun still thinks things too much. Too easy!"

"Hai!" Hoshino quickly admitted his mistake.

Seeing this, Matsuoka breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency Tojo, what do you plan to do next?"

"Meijin Mi-kun clarified the form of the Northeast in the telegram. If we don't take action, it may only be a matter of time before the Northeast is returned by the Chinese people!"

Tojoji snorted coldly: "The situation is definitely not as serious as what Meizumi said. I think that bastard Ishihara gave him his idea when he said the situation is so dire."

Matsuoka nodded slightly. Tojo and Ishihara have never dealt with it. This is a fact that almost all army devils know. Even Tojo strongly opposed the promotion of Ishihara to general before. In the end, the devil Tianlocust came forward and he had to agree. .

"Your Excellency Tada, this may indeed be an exaggeration, but I estimate that the real situation in Northeast China will not be much better than the situation in the telegram, otherwise Umezumi would not have sent a report asking for help."

Tojo Chicken nodded after thinking for a moment: "I know what you said, but the biggest question now is what can we do?"

"The war at sea has already begun, and all the battlefields are not going well. There is a shortage of troops. Now there are only His Majesty's guards in the country!"

The Guards Division is one of the seven divisions first established by the devils. Generally speaking, it is mainly responsible for the safety of the Locust Palace. Although its combat effectiveness is strong, it will not be easily mobilized except for special circumstances.

Moreover, the direct authority of the Guards Division is not in the hands of Dong Tiaoji, so he can't transfer it without authorization.

"The transfer of the Guards Division is related to the safety of His Majesty Tian Locust. Now that the domestic anti-war elements are too active, the Guards Division must not be transferred!"

Tojo immediately said without thinking: "The Guards Division is our last facade. If even the Guards Division is mobilized, the bastards in the west will know that we are exhausted, which is not good for the overall war. .”

Matsuoka spread his hands: "But the Northeast is also very important to us. The mineral resources there are the main source of support for us to launch this campaign. Once lost, it may also affect the overall war."

Dong Tiaoji frowned, and fell into deep thought again, and the entire headquarters could only hear the breathing of the three of them.

After a long time, Dong Tiao Chicken slowly raised his head and looked at the two helplessly.

"At this point, the only way to solve all the immediate problems is to continue to recruit troops."

"Whether it is the navy or the army, as long as there are enough troops now, everything will be better."

Matsuoka's eyes widened sharply: "National conscription, but now our population is already large"

Dong Tiaoji raised his hand to interrupt his words: "Needless to say, the war must continue, just do as I say!"
