Inside the Japanese base camp.

"Baga, are all the commanders of Central China and South China useless? Such an important airport and ammunition depot were robbed without a sound."

The emperor, who was sitting at the top, looked at the ministers below with an extremely ugly expression.

After all, this incident directly made all their ideas go down the drain. After all, on the surface, they were negotiating with the Subei Army Group, but privately, they began to mobilize a large number of troops to prepare to deal with the Subei Army Group.

However, all the plans were aborted before they even started.

More than 5,000 soldiers were killed in the garrison alone, not to mention the massive loss of equipment and aircraft.

You know, every plane is a treasure to them.

Now all these equipments have been snatched away out of thin air.

This was a slap in their faces. The last time a naval warship was robbed, they also wanted to take it back, but in the end they got nothing and instead lost a squadron of troops.

Now, a lot of equipment has been lost.

However, as for the equipment loss this time, they didn’t know who stole it, or even who the other party was.

"How is the investigation going in Central China and South China?"

"I'm sorry, none of the equipment has been found, including the aircraft. They simply disappeared. I suspect that this time it was done by the Subei Army. After all, they have a precedent."

"Useless, they are all useless. In the past year or so, the Subei Army has only sent out small units to rob everywhere. When has it mobilized a large-scale force?"

"How could we not detect such a large-scale troop movement? We have spies everywhere."

Indeed, large-scale troop mobilization is not just talk.

On the contrary, it will be exposed to everyone's sight.

"Your Majesty, what should we do about the conditions of the Subei Army? Otherwise, they will definitely continue to bomb important mineral resources in Shanxi and other places. We..."

"Haha, your army is really a waste. Our warships were in Tianjin Port, but you lost them to us. Now you can't even defeat the Subei Army on land. They are just an army, but you are so scared. It's really funny."

An admiral looked at the Japanese army admiral across from him and couldn't help but sneer, "I think it would be better to allocate the army's military funds directly to our navy so that we can build more warships and force the enemy to flee."

"You are useless, you are really useless. China has been fighting for such a long time, and you are still like this. Now a group army has scared you half to death. You are really a disgrace to the empire."

"Hello, your navy is powerful, haven't you seen how you are doing? Why don't you go and give it a try? Don't make sarcastic remarks here."

An army general directly refuted the other party, obviously he was accustomed to the other party's ridicule.

"so what?"

"We are the navy, the sea is our world, and your army claims to be the most powerful army, right? What's wrong with you now? Are you weak, weak, or great?"

"Hahaha!"

"you you you……"

"Humph!"

"Shut up, everyone. We are discussing the Subei Army Group. Our troops are leaning towards Southeast Asia. The Chinese are seriously short of strength on the battlefield. Therefore, the best way is to stabilize the Subei Army Group first. We must stabilize it now, and when we win on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, we can destroy it."

An internal minister stood up and spoke with a serious face, while his eyes swept across the audience.

"Yes, I agree with that."

"I think it would be better to mobilize the Northeastern Kwantung Army to directly destroy the Subei Army. It doesn't need to be too many, 200,000 will be enough."

"Damn it, can the Kwantung Army be mobilized at will? Not to mention 200,000, even two divisions can't be used. They are used to defend against the Soviet Union. If our defense line is a little weak, the Soviet Red Army may attack at any time." "The Kwantung Army has more than 600,000 soldiers. Temporarily mobilizing 200,000 soldiers won't have much impact. How could it affect the defense plan?"

"Baga, it's not like the Kwantung Army hasn't been there before. Two divisions were directly wiped out, and nearly one division was wiped out. Although the rest retreated, they also suffered heavy losses. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Subei Army is not inferior to our Kwantung Army."

"In addition, they also have the equipment we have, and they also have the equipment we don't have, especially the anti-aircraft machine guns, which can sweep directly. Our armored brigade was almost wiped out in just a few rounds."

"Right now, the most important thing for us is to appease the Subei Group Army, so that we can mobilize more troops and wipe out the Subei Group Army in one fell swoop."

"Some of the troops on the front line can be mobilized back."

"You idiot, are you using your brain when you speak? The troops on the front line are already under pressure. Three divisions were temporarily transferred back, but only one and a half have returned. Tell me, how are we going to fight?"

Another person also stood up and pointed at the admiral who was saying this and cursed him.

Obviously, he still doubts how a brainless person can become an admiral of the empire.

……

Subei Army Group Headquarters.

Zhang Tianhao sat in the conference room, looking at Chief of Staff Zhao, Zuo Mingming, and several officers from the Intelligence Department in front of him.

"How are you guys doing now?"

"Master, we have checked it."

"As for the front line, we have also calculated that if we dare to mobilize more than two divisions, there will basically be a gap in the defense, which can be easily breached by the army in Chongqing."

"As for the Japanese troops in South China, it is impossible to mobilize them. Therefore, our Subei Army is safe now. They do not have enough military power to threaten us."

"The most important thing is that our Subei Group Army can mobilize a lot of troops, local troops, and militia."

"We still have planes, artillery, and tanks, so the Japanese dare not attack our Subei Army Group at least for the time being. Of course, this is only temporary."

"What we are most worried about is the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army is stronger than we thought."

Zhang Tianhao was very clear about this, and the staff officers below also came to the same conclusion after analysis.

"In addition, Master, some of the Japanese spies we have turned over have also begun to pass on some intelligence to us. Although it is not very important, it is also quite good for us."

"We got news from them that the Japanese headquarters was originally going to contact the Japanese troops in the two major war zones of Central China and North China to carry out a sweep against us, but due to the loss of aircraft and supplies, they had to abandon this attack plan. The most important thing is that the Kwantung Army refused to go south."

"At the same time, the Japanese troops on the front line basically rejected the plan to mobilize troops to retreat to northern Jiangsu!"

"This is very good. We should keep an eye on the Japanese military's movements in all aspects. We should also tell those Japanese negotiation experts that our time is limited and they should compensate us for our losses this time."

"Master, we have already raised this issue, but the other party has not responded yet!"

"Prepare for military action. Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Huaibei, Bengbu, and Huainan will all be handed over to us. Mobilize the troops directly. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Also, notify the garrison regiments in various places to prepare for the next war. I want to see if the Japanese troops in central and northern China dare to take action."

"Yes!"

"Also, for this military operation, remember to rely mainly on intimidation and try not to use force. After all, we don't have many bullets left, so we should save them if possible and not waste them!"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
