"Soga! Then please."

He didn't even hit the smiley person. Seeing that Ken Inaki was so sensible, Okamura Yanji's expression suddenly looked good.

Ying Zuozhenzhao said boldly: "General, since we all know that the Chinese Tiger Army is a big concern, why don't we make suggestions to the camp and concentrate superior forces to annihilate them as soon as possible?

At present, only by attacking force can we completely eliminate this powerful enemy in the empire."

Okamura Yanji glared at Kyosasaki with anger, turned to look at Ken Inaki and said, "Inaki, you are an economic expert, should you answer this question?"

"Hayi!"

Ken Inukai paused and said, "It was mainly because of the war funding issue. The imperial finances are now extremely difficult. The total military expenditure this year is only 5 billion. The Navy took away 3 billion, leaving 2 billion. Each department and the Kwantung Army separated at least 1.2 billion.

In other words, the number of Chinese dispatched troops is at most 300 million, and these 300 million will be given at least 200 million, giving priority to the combat operations initiated by the 11th Army in central China.

Therefore, the base camp or the Chinese dispatched troops have no ability to launch a military operation against the Chinese Tiger Army."

After the July 7 Incident in 1937, Japan decided to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, and officially renamed the "North China Incident" to the "North China Incident", and decided to "mobilize 15 divisions at the same time, with a battle fee of 5.5 billion yen."

In 1938, Japan's military expenditure reached 6.15 billion yen, far exceeding its national gold reserves. At that time, only one "Wuhan Battle" had spent more than 3 billion yen.

In 1939, with the entry of the hinterland of China, the Japanese Army proposed a new "enriching armament" plan. The Japanese General Staff Headquarters required the Army Province to prepare 65 divisions of ground troops and 164 aviation squadrons before the end of 1941, as the general wartime force.

Therefore, the Japanese Army Province approved the total budget at 5.4 billion yen and submitted approval to the Tripitaka Province.

Japan, which had long been completely militarized, no longer needed the so-called "parliamentary approval" form to approve the military budget. It only required consultations between the Tripitaka Province and the mainland and the Navy Province to decide.

The Japanese Ministry of Tripitaka has not agreed to this budget application so far, but has subtracted the application amount of the Army Province to minus 1 billion yen and approved it to 4.4 billion yen.

Not long ago, Japan's Grand Tibet Province, the Army Province, and the General Staff negotiated on the restoration of the budget of 5.4 billion yen. "The three sides held fierce debates all night long", and the quarrel was: "The total army budget was 4.89 billion yen."

The budget is the general army fund from 1940 to 1941. As for the funds this year, the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force had no spare money to support a large-scale military operation.

Okamura Yasuji responded: "The most important thing is that Yang Fan is not an ordinary opponent, and the current Imperial Army's weapons and equipment do not have an advantage.

Moreover, their combat effectiveness will be at least doubled by their strong defensive positions, fortresses and cities. If we want to annihilate this Chinese army, we need to concentrate at least 15 divisions of superior forces.

Obviously, this is impossible to do at the moment. At least half a year will be needed to prepare for war, so we can only do our best to blockade and destroy it so that it cannot develop further.

Alas, this is really a headache. I really can't figure out how such a person emerged from China. He could create such a powerful army on his own, leaving the Imperial Japanese Army helpless."

Okamura Yasuji had long noticed Yang Fan, realized Yang Fan's huge threat, and wanted to get rid of it quickly, but he could not kill anyone just by thinking!

Ken Inoka suddenly had a trace of evil in his eyes, and he looked at Okamura Nagaji and said, "God of General, I have an inexperienced suggestion, I don't know if it's to say it or not!"

Okamura Yasuji nodded and said, "Inukai, please say something if you have something to do!"

Ken Inukai said with murderous aura: "Since we cannot compete from the front for the time being, why can't we find ways to solve this big problem from other aspects?"

Okamura Yasuji asked: "Inukaijun, what do you mean is to use agents to behead and assassinate? This should not be easy, right? If it works, Yang Fan would not be alive yet!"

Ying Zuo Zhenao nodded and agreed: "What the General said is that Yang Fan has a very good intelligence work such as anti-reconnaissance, anti-infiltration, and anti-assassination. In the past, the Special High School had tried assassination many times, but each time it ended in failure. The Empire lost a large number of ace agents for this.

Especially Gaomi County, Jiao County, Zhucheng County and Anqiu County, which Yang Fan has been operating for the longest, will be completely restricted. Unless our intelligence personnel enter a state of silence, they will be discovered as soon as they reveal a clue.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get rid of Yang Fan by assassination!”

"The other aspects I talk about are not just assassination."

Ken Inukai explained, and then said, "I mean, we can use Unit 731 to launch a needle-based bacterial war to create a large-scale typhoid fever! Our guests of Unit 731 happened to be here in Shanghai these days!"

"Nani? Bacterial Warfare? Massive Typhoid?"

Okamura Yasuji's face changed slightly. He had heard of this proposal, nor had the Japanese Army used it. He used bacterial war against the Soviet Union in the Battle of Nomenkan last year.

During the Battle of Nomenkan from May 1939 to September, the Japanese Kwantung Army encountered strong enemies for the first time. The "Yao Crush Attack" and "Pig Crush Charge" that were unsatisfactory were everywhere under the firepower of the Soviet army.

Faced with the Soviet superior artillery fire and armored forces, the Japanese front-line commander Komatsuhara could not stand it and kept asking for reinforcements of heavy artillery and replenishment of shells.

What Komatsuhara didn't know was that the Kwantung Army had no "surplus grain" anymore, and even heavy artillery from World War I had sent them.

In order to restore the decline on the front line, the Kwantung Army decided to take a secret move, so the infamous "731" troops were ordered to come to the battlefield of Nomenkan. The Japanese were preparing to defeat the Su-Meng Army with "bacterial warfare" that violated international conventions.

But this is a war method of guilty conscience after all, so the Japanese army's confidentiality work is extremely strict. The "731" troops led by Shiro Ishii were immediately protected and alerted after arriving. Other Japanese field troops in their camps are not allowed to approach.

The first plan of the Ishii troops was to use aircraft to sow bacterial bombs, but the Soviet army had already gained air superiority. At the same time, anti-aircraft guns were everywhere on the west bank of the Halaha River. The Japanese were indeed not sure and finally decided to adopt the method of artificial deployment in the river.

Ishii selected a "Ya Broken Team" from his headquarters and chose to take two rubber boats to the upper reaches of the Halaha River at night, pouring all the bacterial culture liquid in metal cans into the river water, and the entire upstream of the river was polluted.

However, because Zhukov's battlefield intelligence work was very in place, the color of the military uniform and the shape of the armband were completely different from that of other Japanese troops, the Soviet army had already obtained relevant information before it arrived on the battlefield.

So the Soviet army immediately deployed a large number of water supply pipes from the rear, and strictly prohibited officers and soldiers from using the Halaha River water again, so they were not harmed.

Although the Japanese Army Command issued the same order, it did not dare to explain the reason directly, so it could only be ambiguous. The consequence was that some Japanese soldiers could not have imagined that it was such a serious nature and still drank river water nearby. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by their own people and a large number of Japanese soldiers died of bacterial infection.
