    "Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, the incident in Z/Na was out of our plan from the beginning. Today's changes were also expected. Compared to Z/Na, the imperial army has done a very good job. Your Majesty, please  My condolences!" Hiranuma Kiichiro said.

    Emperor Hirohito understood what Kiichiro Hiranuma meant. In fact, this war was an unexpected emergency for both China and Japan.

    Although the Japanese invasion of China was a long-premeditated conspiracy, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident was not deliberately done by the Japanese government, but was caused by the Japanese troops on the front lines acting on their own. The Japanese government did not agree with this.

    Because Japan was not ready for a full-scale war with China at that time. They were committed to building puppet Manchuria, strengthening war preparations against the Soviet Union, and implementing expansion plans for important industries. They had no time to worry about other things, and they did not carry out a comprehensive war between Japan and China at all in using troops.  Plans and preparations for war.

    For Japan, the policy of not escalating the incident is serious and sincere.

    Of course, the same is true for China. The Chinese government did not expect that the war would come so quickly. The Nationalist Government had just begun to reorganize its armaments. The German Armament Division had only completed 20 divisions, and there were still millions of troops to carry out.  Reorganization, there is no way to start a full-scale war with the Japanese army at this time.

    Therefore, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, the Japanese government¡¯s attitude was to resolve the incident as soon as possible and not to expand the situation.

    But the Japanese troops on the front line did not want the war to end like this. Stimulated by the "brilliant achievements" of the September 18th Incident, they hoped to occupy more land through the war, so they would not give up until they occupied North China.

    So even though the two sides came to the negotiating table, the Japanese troops on the front line also showed little sincerity.

    With the breakdown of negotiations between the two parties, the situation gradually deteriorated and eventually evolved into a full-scale war.

    Such changes are not only beyond China¡¯s expectations, but also completely beyond Japan¡¯s control.

    "Your Majesty, it's too late to say anything now. As a general of the empire, His Excellency Washijin Seppei should have died on the battlefield. He was honored to die on the battlefield opening up territory for the empire!  What we have to do now is to resolve this incident so as not to affect the overall situation." Lu Xiang Itagaki Seishiro said.

    "What good ideas does your base camp have?" Emperor Hirohito asked in a deep voice.

    "Your Majesty, the Imperial Army's majestic Lieutenant General's division commander died in battle. This has a very serious impact on the morale of the frontline soldiers. The other side will definitely use this matter to attack the Empire, so we must take a preemptive strike!" Seishiro Itagaki!  road.

    "Pre-emptive strike?"

    "Yes, it's a pre-emptive strike! Instead of waiting for the supporters to slander the Imperial Japanese Army in their media, newspapers and internationally, I think we can be the first to report this matter, but the focus of our report is different!" Itagaki  Seishiro said loudly.

    "Keep talking!" Emperor Hirohito said.

    "It's your Majesty! If that person is reporting this, he must be bragging about the combat effectiveness of their army on the basis of slandering the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, and then boasting about when the imperial army will be completely driven out of China. Although there may not be many  People believe them, but the influence is not good after all. Therefore, we can completely support the shamelessness and cunning of the army and the willingness of His Excellency Washizu Shimei to die rather than surrender as the focus of the report, so as to inspire the soldiers on the front line." Seishiro Itagaki said.

    "Yo Xi! The idea of ??the base camp is very good, let's implement it like this!" Emperor Hirohito instructed.

    "Hai!"

    "His Majesty the Emperor and the government can treat this matter as an accident, but the base camp must give an explanation to His Majesty. The general/general who killed Washizu Seppei must be decapitated! In addition, the body of Lord Washizu Seppei must be retrieved.  Then he will be buried in the country!" Prime Minister Hiranuma Kiichiro said solemnly.

    "This is what we should do, our base camp knows how to do it!" Itagaki Seishiro said coldly.

    "What are you going to do?" Emperor Hirohito suddenly asked.

    Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said: "We have investigated the course of this battle clearly. Although it was Li Guoyao's troops who killed Washizu Jinhei, it was the Nasulu War Zone that led this battle."

    "Sulu War Zone?"

    "Hai! This Sulu war zone is a new war zone established by the Chinese government at the beginning of this year. The defense zone mainly includes more than ten counties and districts in southern Shandong and more than a dozen counties and districts in northern Jiangsu. The soldiers are composed of two armies of the former Northeast Army.  As well as Li Guoyao¡¯s and Han Deqin¡¯s departments are the main ones!¡±

    "How strong is this Sulu war zone?"

    "It's not too strong. The total strength is about 100,000, but most of them are entrenched in the mountainous areas. The imperial army wants to destroy them.It¡¯s not easy for them either!  "

    "It's not easy. Now you just need to tell His Majesty whether you can or not!" Hiranuma Kiichiro said solemnly.

    "able!"

    "Yo Xi, since we can, let's not say anything else. We are not soldiers, and we don't need to know what the current situation is. We only know that the people across the country are tightening their belts to support you. If you cannot win, not only will your base camp  I'm sorry for your majesty's trust, and I'm sorry for all the people in the country!" Hiranuma Kiichiro said.

    "Hai!"

    At this moment, Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Zhi/The things on the battlefield are nothing. The death of a lieutenant general's division commander will not affect the overall situation. No matter which Li Guoyao or  Regardless of the Sulu War Zone, they are just a few small bugs. I believe that Mr. Sugiyama's ability can solve the problem quickly. However, the conflict between the Empire and Xiong'er has reached a point where it must be resolved. I don't know what the government's opinions are!  "

    As soon as Prince Zairen finished speaking, the entire East Hall fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

    Regarding the current conflict between the Kwantung Army and Xiong Er, this period has become the most discussed topic between the base camp and the government.

    The cause of the incident was that on May 4, a unit of the Outer Mongolian Cavalry was suddenly attacked by the patrol force of the Puppet Manchukuo Xing'an Division in the area east of the Halaha River, and captured the Outer Mongolian officer Second Lieutenant Tasinuma and one soldier.  .

    ¡°Subsequently, dozens of Outer Mongolian cavalry went to the Nomenhan area east of the Halaha River, and then retreated after fighting with the puppet Manchukuo army.

    On the 12th, the puppet Manchu army in the Nomenhan area reported to the command authority in Hailar that about 700 Outer Mongolian cavalry entered the east of the Halaha River again.

    When the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in the area received a report on the situation in the border area, it was holding a meeting with infantry regiment commanders and commanders of each regiment to study and implement the resolution of border disputes issued by the Kwantung Army Headquarters at the Changchun Division Commanders' Meeting.  Outline.

    Lieutenant General Komatsuhara decided to send troops to repel the Cross-border Outer Mongolian Army based on the spirit of the Kwantung Army's outline for handling national borders.

    Subsequently, Lieutenant General Komatsubara immediately sent powerful troops northward, intending to resolve the border disputes in the area in one fell swoop.  The troops sent by Komatsubara in this battle included the division search team and the 1st Battalion of the 64th Regiment, as well as hundreds of Puppet Manchukuo garrison troops stationed in Hailar.

    After the situation was reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was very supportive of this plan and decided to send 100 transport vehicles from the 10th Flying Reconnaissance Team stationed in Qiqihar, the 24th Flying Team from Hailar, and the Kwantung Army Automobile Team.  It is under the command and use of the 23rd Division.

    In order to keep it secret, the search team commanded by Higashi Babaizang, together with the accompanying infantry and puppet troops, all set off by car at 21:00 on the evening of May 13.

    After they arrived at the Ganzhur Temple, which is about 80 kilometers away from the Nomonhan area, they immediately sent out reconnaissance and prepared for combat.

    At noon on May 15, the 10th Reconnaissance and Light Bomber Group launched an attack on Highland 742 of the Outer Mongolian Army east of the Halaha River.

    After seeing the superior Japanese army and the cooperation of the air force, the Outer Mongolian troops took the initiative to withdraw to Hexi.  The 10th Flying Team bombed the tents where the Outer Mongolian Army was stationed.

    Based on the report of Lieutenant Colonel Higashi Eight Hyakuzo, Komatsubara decided at 22:00 on the 15th that except for the remaining part of the puppet Manchu Army to strengthen the security of the area, all other dispatched troops were withdrawn.

    The troops led by Dongbabaizang returned to Hylar on the 17th.  The entire top management of the 23rd Division, including Lieutenant General Komatsubara, believed that this incident should be over.

    But little did they know that their action was equivalent to opening Pandora's box, eventually triggering an unprecedented war that would even affect Japan's national destiny.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
