Commander of the Changchun Kwantung Army.

Ishihara Kanir, who was overly energetic, was idle for a while, so he found Saiichi Yoshimoto, the chief of staff of the Kanto Army, and once again discussed the combat plan against the Soviet Union.

Ishihara Kanr pointed to the Soviet Union on the world map and said: "After the British and American coalition forces opened up the Persian corridor, the Soviet Union received a lot of military assistance. The Soviet Union, which was already on the verge of despair, is now in a resurgence.

Although German allies still have absolute advantages in the Soviet battlefield, they may be difficult to destroy the Soviet Union in a short period of time. This is not good news for the Great Japanese Empire!”

Yoshimoto Sato nodded and said, "Yes, Commander. Although the Soviet Union has not declared war on the Great Japanese Empire, the Soviet Union is ultimately a member of the allies and has always been a powerful enemy of the empire!

If the Soviet Union recovered with the aid of the Americans, it would definitely be a great disaster for the Japanese Empire. Huyi also believed that going north to attack the Soviet Union, and giving the Soviet Union the last fatal blow would be a wise move."

Ishihara Kanir continued: "The current war on the Australian continent has basically been pacified, and the remaining sporadic resistance is no longer a problem.

The Americans were also firmly excluded from the Pacific battlefield by the Great Japanese Empire, and it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to the empire in the short term.

Of course, the empire could not land in North America in a short period of time and carry out direct attacks on the American mainland.

The war that the Japanese Empire needs to directly resolve is only the Chinese battlefield and the Myanmar battlefield, so the Great Japanese Empire can free up its hands to solve this ultimate strong enemy second only to the United States!”

"Hayi!"

Yoshimoto Sato paused, pointed to the military map with his finger and said, "Great General, the Soviet Union's Far East is vast and sparsely populated, with extremely scarce soldiers and war resources. The only thing connected to its European land is the Siberian Railway."

Ishihara Kanr nodded at Yoshimoto Sato and said, "That's right, this Siberian Railway is the key to the Soviet Far East. As long as this railway is cut off, the Far East Soviet Army, which lacks supplies, will collapse without fighting!"

Shinichi Yoshimoto continued, "So it can be seen that the combat plan against the Soviet Union formulated by the General Staff of the Kwantung Army was correct.

Attack west from Manzhouli and capture Chita and Irkutsk, you can cut the Siberian Railway into two sections, and the Soviet army in the Far East will be in trouble, and it will naturally collapse and collapse over time!"

"Yosi."

Ishihara Kanji nodded in thought, and then said in a regretful tone: "It's just a pity that there were serious problems in the execution of the war in the end.

Whether it was Kenyoshi Ueda or Mijiro Umezu, military tactical theory lags behind the times, they didn't understand what large-scale combat is.

When fighting against the Soviet army, they still used the traditional tactic of fighting against the Chinese army and successively invested their troops. As a result, they were seized to defeat them in one fell swoop under Zhukov's large corps.

So much so that the Great Japanese Empire was shamed and thus interrupted the strategic national policy of the northward offensive!"

"Yes. It's a pity that the four independent armored corps were obviously stronger than the Soviet army's combat effectiveness, but in the end they were defeated by the Soviet army and became the pillar of shame for the Imperial Army!"

Yoshimoto Sato nodded and said, "This is all the fault of that idiot Umezu Mijiro, otherwise the Soviet Union would have perished under the attack of the empire and German allies.

The Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire can all be put into the Chinese domestic battlefield or Southeast Asian battlefield. The entire Asia has now been classified as the territory of the Great Japanese Empire."

"Yes, historical opportunities are fleeting. The Great Japanese Empire finally ushered in the best opportunity to rise in thousands of years. Now every step is crucial!"

Ishihara Kanir sighed softly. Although he has now become the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army, he actually controls the military and political power of Manchukuo. He can be said to be very popular and has reached the peak of his personal life.

However, Ishihara Kanir still felt very restricted and constrained, and in many aspects it could not do exactly according to his own ideas, such as marching into the Far East and Germany to attack the Soviet Union from north to south.

Although the Kwantung Army has a lot of total troops, the elite main forces of the old troops have long been drawn, and most of them are newly formed divisions that have just been drawn from China.

"Mijiro Umezu is not bad at handling military internal affairs, but it's a pity that he lacks some military command skills!"

Retracting his thoughts, Ishihara Kanir suddenly asked: "How is the situation in Myanmar? Are there any breakthrough progress?"

"The Myanmar war has indeed made breakthrough progress recently. The Myanmar dispatched troops have broken through the Salwin River defense line and conquered many towns in succession. The front-line battlefield has advanced to the Xidang River defense line dozens of kilometers away from Yangon."

Yoshimoto Shinichi said, "God General, just this morning, Yang Fan just held a press conference in Yangon, which is enough to show that the war in Myanmar is about to end."

"Nani, press conference?"

Ishihara Kan's expression frightened, and suddenly felt energetic and asked quickly, "Kun Yoshimoto, what's going on? Tell me quickly?"

"Hayi!"

Yoshibenzhen paused and said, "Just this morning, Yang Fan held a large-scale on-site press conference in Yangon, Myanmar, and openly announced to the world that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was about to give up Myanmar, and that the Chinese government and the US government will jointly open a Hump route to continue to deliver strategic materials to the Chinese government.

In addition, at the press conference, Yang Fan had quite complaints about the US government and the National Government, and blamed the unfavorable responsibility of the Myanmar war on the Americans balancing the Burmese theater and the National Government, and allocated most of the materials produced by the Myanmar industrial base to the National Government.

Well, that's right, Yang Fan has taken the initiative to admit defeat and has made plans to give up Myanmar's retreat to India."

"Nani? How is this possible?"

Ishihara Kaner's eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing a ghostly look and shouted, "No, will Yang Fan actually admit defeat?"

"Mr. Commander, I thought it was incredible at first! I always felt that Yang Fan was deliberately spreading rumors, showing weakness on the surface, but actually brewing some conspiracy."

Shinichi Yoshimoto said seriously: "But later I listened to the entire press conference and carefully analyzed the information in all aspects, and found that it was reasonable for Yang Fan to publicly release such news."

Ishihara Kanji frowned and said, "What, Yoshimoto-kun, do you really believe Yang Fan's words? I think he will really give up on his own initiative and give up Myanmar?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Shinichi Yoshimoto looked at Ishihara Kanji in confusion and explained, "Commander, although Yang Fan is cunning, he is not a god after all, and he will never escape defeat in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

In addition, the Chinese have always liked to seek fame and fight in their homes. Under the instigation of the Americans, the National Government forcibly took away most of the military aid despite the safety of the Myanmar war zone, which led to deepening the conflict between the two sides.
