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

Can't a captured general serve as the interim commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army?
Matsumoto's words were undoubtedly aimed at Qin Yansaburo. Of all the people here, only Qin Yansaburo had been a prisoner.

And it was because of him that Kimura was shot and sent to the hospital. It can be seen that Matsumoto didn't think Qin Yansaburo could command the overall situation from the very beginning!

"Matsumoto-kun, according to the imperial army system, if the commander-in-chief is injured, the chief of staff can take over the overall situation. Do you want to violate the system?"

Qin Yansaburo looked at Matsumoto coldly. Although he knew that these generals could not be offended at this time, Matsumoto's intention was undoubtedly to usurp the throne.

Acting Commander-in-Chief?That is to say.

No matter who these people become the acting commander-in-chief, I'm afraid they won't come down again.

Kimura is not dead yet, but for the sake of rights, these people will definitely use some means behind the scenes to stabilize their position.

Umezumi said before she died that Kimura took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and herself as the chief of staff, and Tojo also agreed. Therefore, no matter for himself or for Kimura, Qin Yansaburo must not back down now. step!
Matsumoto smiled coldly: "Since the founding of the empire, everyone from domestic civilians to cabinet ministers has worshiped the strong."

"Although Your Excellency Kimura has some talents, he is currently in the hospital and cannot lead the overall situation. You have been a prisoner and have no ability to lead the overall situation. How can you act as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army?"

"Your Excellency Umezumi already lost one-third of the territory when she was still here. If you take on an important position, wouldn't you want us to lose all the territory?"

Qin Yansanlang snorted coldly: "It's not my first day joining the army, so why can't I lead the overall situation?"

"Matsumoto-kun, you and I are not fools. We know exactly what you want to do. Your Excellency Kimura is just lying in the hospital and his life is not in danger. You came here to take the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. You are too anxious some!"

"If you really want to be the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, then I suggest you contact China now!"

"If Your Excellency Tojo agrees, I have no objection!"

Matsumoto's eyes widened sharply: "Qin Yanjun, please pay attention to your attitude, everything I do is for the Kwantung Army!"

"To be honest, although Kimura is capable, he is too emotional!"

"Negotiating conditions with Wu Qianli, this behavior is simply an insult to our empire."

"As the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, he actually took the risk alone. This is irresponsible to everyone in the Kwantung Army. I think it is reasonable for such a commander to be replaced!"

Kanda on the side smiled and said, "Your Excellency Qin Yan, I think what Your Excellency Matsumoto said is right!"

"As the supreme commander, you should have foresight, which neither you nor Your Excellency Kimura possess. The position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army can indeed be given to Xian."

Qin Yansanlang frowned. These two people were obviously wearing a pair of pants now, and their purpose was very clear. They both wanted to force Kimura to step down. As for who took this position, I am afraid that only they knew.

Qin Yansaburo gave the two of them a cold look: "I don't want to explain any more to you."

"I'm still the same as the original sentence. If you want Mr. Kimura to step down, you must at least have a written document from Mr. Tojo."

"Otherwise, I will not agree to anything about this matter."

"Everyone, I have something else to do. This place is not for you. You can leave now!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Yansaburo made a gesture of invitation and issued an order to expel the guests.

Matsumoto stood up abruptly: "Qin Yanjun, you should know that everything I do is for the Kwantung Army. Even if you disagree with this matter, I will forcefully intervene!"

"The Fifth Division is in Shencheng now, and I can transfer over to take over the headquarters at any time!"

Qin Yansaburo frowned, Matsumoto's words were obviously trying to tear his face.

The meaning of what he said was to tell everyone that he was ready to send troops, but this time the target was not Balu, but themselves.

Qin Yansaburo looked at him coldly: "Although the fifth division is powerful, we also have the strength of three divisions here. I don't think Your Excellency Matsumoto will be so naive as to think that we won't resist?"

As he said that, Qin Yansaburo clapped his hands towards the outside, and in the next second, more than a dozen devil soldiers with live ammunition rushed in, aiming their guns at several other people in the headquarters.

"Your Excellency Matsumoto, my position is very clear!"

"Your Excellency Umezumi said before his death that the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army will be appointed by His Excellency Kimura. As the Chief of Staff, I must abide by Your Excellency Umezumi's last wish and protect His Excellency Kimura's interests!"

"Today, I have no intention of leaving all of you behind, but I will definitely not take half a step back. Please come back, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether I will react too aggressively!"

Matsumoto and the others frowned. They were thinking of taking advantage of Kimura's fall to seize the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

But what they didn't expect was that Kimura fell down, but Qin Yansaburo's attitude was very firm.

"I will personally report this matter to Your Excellency Tojo. If the documents come out, I hope you will stop blocking us, or the tanks of the Fifth Division will crush you into meatloaf!"

After Matsumoto finished speaking, he waved his hand and left with the rest of the group.

After Matsumoto and others left, Qin Yansaburo breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came out of the hospital, he had already guessed the real purpose of Matsumoto and the others, so he made a plan early!
Unexpectedly, things turned out as he had expected. The purpose of Matsumoto and others was indeed to be the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

But Matsumoto was right about one thing. With Qin Yansaburo's military rank and seniority, it was impossible for him to suppress Matsumoto.

He had even prepared for the worst, but fortunately, his face was not completely torn this time, and there was still room for maneuver.

"Your Excellency Qin Yan, if they don't leave, do you really dare to shoot?"

Qin Yansaburo shook his head: "I don't know, but we have to guarantee the interests of Your Excellency Kimura no matter what!"

"By the way, how did your Excellency Kimura say about moving the headquarters to Liancheng?"

A deputy staff officer immediately said: "It's almost done, there is still some aftermath work, you can leave at any time."

"Your Excellency Qin Yan, are you planning to leave here?"

Qin Yansaburo nodded slightly: "The situation is more complicated now, and the Kwantung Army is fighting openly and secretly!"

"Although there will be no action on the Eighth Road for the time being, after all, the new city is lost, and Chuncheng is already in danger. Once there is a change, it may be difficult for Chuncheng to hold on!"

"It is beneficial to make preparations in advance. Let me know that when Mr. Kimura's situation improves, the headquarters will be moved to Liancheng!"
