Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 238

Yamada Otozo, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, immediately let Yamaoka Michitake in after receiving the report.

"Commander, we meet again!" Yamaoka Michitake said with a smile after saluting.

In December of 12, Otozo Yamada had just been transferred from the position of commander of the Kwantung Army's Third Front Army and head of the No.[-] Division to serve as the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army.

"Yes, three months ago I was in Mudanjiang in the snow and ice, and now I am in Nanjing. China is really too big." Yamada Otozo replied with a smile.

"How do you feel?" Yamaoka Michitake asked.

"It is always victorious, but there is always no end in sight. The problem can be solved by occupying Wuhan, but now it seems that it is not enough." Yamada Otozo replied.

Yamaoka Michitake nodded sympathetically.

On the surface, it seems that the Japanese army is winning steadily, but in fact, the Great Japanese Empire has long been stretched in terms of manpower and financial resources.

But those soldiers don't care about that.It is definitely the mainstream that continues to expand the situation in the military and completely crush China.

"I came here after getting news that people on both sides were negotiating in secret. Didn't the commander get any news?" Yamaoka Michitake asked.

"I vaguely heard about this matter. But the people leading this matter are Imai and Kagesa from the General Staff Headquarters and the Army Ministry. You should ask them!" Yamada Otozo replied very dissatisfied.

He was not dissatisfied with Yamaoka Michibu but was very dissatisfied with those people negotiating but completely putting himself aside.

"I already talked with Imai yesterday. He was vague." Yamaoka Michitake said.

"Of course he didn't dare to say it too clearly. At this time, when the news spread, in the eyes of the soldiers, they were cowards and traitors!" Yamada Otozo said.

"Yeah," Yamaoka Michitake sighed.

He came to inquire about news on behalf of the Kwantung Army.But now the thinking of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in North China, Central China, and South China is completely different from that of the Kwantung Army.

The Kwantung Army used the north as its imaginary enemy.But the Japanese army in other areas may not think so now.

What's more, the navy has a different idea from them.

Even Yamada Otozo, who was sitting in front of him, was transferred here from the Kwantung Army, and his mind may have changed.

If the base camp and the emperor think that going south is important.Then it means that a large number of troops, weapons and equipment and money will be thrown here.Even the troops currently in Manchukuo have to be constantly mobilized.

At that time, the plan of going north will be completely in vain.

This is what the top Kwantung Army worries about.It was also the reason why Michitake Yamaoka was sent here.

"No matter what, please Commander-in-Chief, don't forget who our main enemy is!" Yamaoka Michitake bowed and said to Yamada Otozo when he was leaving.

When the three of them came out of the headquarters, Otozo Yamada asked an officer to accompany them.He was leading the way for Michitake Yamaoka.

The officer sat in the driver's seat and drove the car all the way to the gate of the "Manchurian Railway" Nanjing Office.

Xi Yixian, director of the "Manchurian Railway" Nanjing Office, received Yamaoka Mowtake.

"The president, Mr. Yosuke Matsuoka, has already sent you a telegram?" Yamaoka Michitake asked.

"I have received the telegram. I have prepared the documents." Xi Yixian said.

As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the safe, took out three documents and handed them to Yamaoka Michitake.

Michitake Yamaoka simply looked at the covers of the three documents and handed them to Ogasawara.Ogasawara opened the document bag and put the three documents in it.

"This is an agreement formed after the negotiations between the representatives of the two parties in Shanghai Chongguang Hall a month ago." Xi Yixian said.

"As far as you know, how far are the negotiations going?" Michitake Yamaoka asked.

"As far as I know, many people in Japan disagree with these agreements, especially some people in the military. But the person in Hanoi is still hesitating and waiting to make a final decision." Xi Yixian replied .

There are also a large number of intelligence personnel in Manchurian Railway.Moreover, Xi Yixian himself was one of the people who participated in this negotiation.So he knew a lot about it.

"Actually, you can consult Matsumoto Shigeharu about this matter in Shanghai. He is more involved than me." Xi Yixian suggested.

"I know him. I heard that he has a close relationship with former Prime Minister Konoe," Yamaoka said.He added emphasis when referring to the former prime minister.

Konoe resigned a month ago.

Soldiers like Dotake Yamaoka in the Japanese army, who climbed up from the bottom, are always incompatible with nobles like Konoe, it should be said that they are born in a wealthy family.

Those who shout about constitutionalism every day and advocate Western-style parliamentary operation are really annoying!

The Great Japanese Empire should be directly from the emperor to the army.Put aside those politicians who only know how to chatter all day long!
"But he is still the chairman of the Privy Council, and he still has a lot of influence." Xi Yixian said.

"Okay, I'll meet him when I return to Shanghai." Michitake Yamaoka nodded.

"Assassinations are happening frequently in Shanghai now. Your Excellency, you should be more careful." Xi Yixian instructed.

"I have already learned the lesson yesterday. Tatsuo Nakamoto, the special commissioner of the appeasement third district, was shot to death as soon as he walked out of the hotel after meeting with me." Yamaoka Michitake replied.

Xi Yixian, director of the so-called "Manchurian Railway" Nanjing Office, is actually responsible for the intelligence work in Nanjing area of ​​Manchurian Railway.

Hearing what Yamaoka Michitake said, Nishi Yoshiaki hurriedly suggested: "If this is the case, I suggest you leave Shanghai as soon as possible!"

"I think so too. Now that I have obtained these three documents, I will return to Shanghai and take a boat back to Manchuria." Yamaoka Michitake said.

On the way back to Shanghai, Yamaoka Michitake carefully read the three documents that Nishi Yoshiaki gave him.

"Do you think the Japanese army may withdraw from China?" Michitake Yamaoka asked Ogasawara who was driving.

"Absolutely impossible!" Ogasawara replied bluntly.

"I can't spit it out after eating it. If the headquarters issued such an order, would the 70 million imperial soldiers in North China, Central China and South China agree?" Ogasawara said.

"Whoever dares to issue such an order will cut off his head with a samurai sword!" Ogasawara finally said.

Hearing Ogasawara's words, Michitake Yamaoka couldn't help shivering.

This is not just talk.Those lunatics can do what they say!

"But if our strength is all placed in the south, what about the plan to go north?" Michitake Yamaoka said as if talking to himself.

"Maybe this is what the country in the north wants. In this way, we will be completely stuck in China and unable to get out, and we will have no strength to go north." Ogasawara said.
