Chapter 934
"Okamura, isn't that the case?"
Ishihara Kanir did not shy away at all and answered flatly: "That's right! This is the wisest best choice for the Great Japanese Empire at present.
The Soviet Union is now struggling to death. As long as the Great Japanese Empire is added with a fire, the demise of the Soviet Union will be just around the corner!”
"As long as the Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire sends troops to the Far East, the Soviet Union will immediately fall into a desperate situation of fighting on both sides. At that time, the Soviet Union will not only not be able to receive supplementary personnel and materials from the Far East!
Even the Soviet Union had to draw personnel and materials from the already extremely nervous European battlefield to reinforce the Far East, so the final result of the Soviet Union can be imagined!"
"If this is the case, the Soviet Union will definitely not last for a year. Once the Soviet Union is destroyed, German allies can free up their hands to solve the Allies on the Western Front and African battlefields in one fell swoop, and then obtain massive oil and gas resources in the Middle East!
The empire could also transfer nearly one million Kwantung troops from the Northeast into the empire. It is really hard to say whether the National Government can continue to persist in the war of resistance.
Even the Empire can free up its hands and directly land on the west coast of Canada, causing the war to truly burn North America and eventually spread to the United States."
"At that time, I believe that German allies will be happy to cross the Bering Strait, land in Alaska, and launch a direct attack on the United States through Canada.
At that time, the ultimate strong enemy of the empire will no longer be terrible!"
"I'm afraid this is difficult to achieve? Although the Soviet Union was in a very difficult situation and seemed to be at risk of being destroyed by German allies at all times, in fact, even when the Battle of Moscow was at its most critical moment, the Soviet Union always retained 1.5 million troops in the Far East, which had more than twice the strength advantage compared to the Imperial Kwantung Army.
Moreover, the Soviet Union had a complete industrial system in the Far East. If the imperial army could not invest enough troops and weapons, there would be no hope of defeating the Soviet Red Army!
Even if the Soviet army's focus was in Europe, the Soviet Union's troops who stayed in the Far East were replaced and resting, and their combat effectiveness was no weaker than that of the Japanese army."
Okamura Yanji frowned. He didn't think about the "trick plan" he said about Ishihara Kan's words, but he thought that this plan would not work no matter how he calculated it.
At this time, the Kwantung Army had been upgraded from the previous group army to the Kwantung Army to the general army, becoming the strategic reserve team of the Japanese Army at that time, with two armies: the Third Army and the Fourth Army.
The two armies have four divisions under their jurisdiction, and the main divisions directly under the Front Army have increased to twelve. In addition, the mixed brigade, security brigade, cavalry brigade, combat vehicle brigade and other auxiliary troops have a total force of more than 700,000, which is the largest front army in the Japanese army.
In fact, when the Kwantung Army was first established, there was only one main division.
Even when the July 7th Lugou Bridge Incident was in the Lucky Bridge, the Kwantung Army had only four main divisions and several independent mixed brigades, with a total force of only about 100,000.
However, after the Xifengkou incident and the battle of Nomenkan, the Japanese base camp began to increase troops to the northeast, and in less than a year, it increased to twelve main divisions, with more than 700,000 people!
After a pause, Okamura Yasuji said in a reminder tone: "Kun Ishihara, the most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor will not agree to the plan to send troops to the Far East!"
"None of these are the problems. As long as we can win a few beautiful victories in the Far East, His Majesty the Emperor will agree!
Although the Soviet army had 1.5 million troops in the Far East, the Imperial army had the first-mover advantage, and the Soviet Red Army had too long defense lines in the Far East and was easily attacked, so the Japanese army had obvious advantages at the tactical level.
But now the troops are indeed a little short. If I could have another 700,000, I would have fought against the Soviet Union long ago! Okamura-kun, you came just right, why might we make a good decision together?"
Ishihara Kan'er became more and more excited as he spoke. He wished that His Majesty the Emperor would send another 30 divisions into the Kwantung Army. Then he could travel to the battlefield with all his heart and lead the Kwantung Army heavy army group to attack the Soviet Union in the Far East, and establish his Qianqiu achievements of Ishihara Kan'er!
"Ahem!!"
Okamura Yanji was choked and said nothing. He only felt that Ishihara Kan'er was so crazy. He had been thinking about "taking first and then reporting" long ago, and even thought about pulling himself into the water.
Okamura Yasuji is very clear that the Japanese Emperor and Hideki Tojo will not change their course at this stage, Yi Zhang agreed to send troops to the Far East combat plan, because they are all waiting for the German allies and the Soviet Union to lose both sides and wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
On the contrary, Okamura Yasuji also heard the news, and the base camp was preparing to draw at least 10 divisions from the Kanto Army to fight in Myanmar!
Therefore, Okamura Yasuji really doesn't like Ishihara Kanir's "trick plan".
However, Ishihara Kanir did not notice Okamura's constipated expression at all, and still murmured in an excited tone:
"As long as I can have 1.5 million Kwantung Army, I can severely damage the heavy army group of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East!
If there were 3 million Kwantung Army, I would be able to wipe out 1.5 million Soviet troops in the Far East!”
"No, in fact, it doesn't take 3 million to be as much as 3 million. It only takes 1.5 million to me, I can severely damage the Soviet army in the Far East. According to the current situation of the Soviet Union, the effect of severe damage to the Soviet army in the Far East is equivalent to complete annihilation. The Soviet Union must have only one dead end..."
Ishihara Kan'er has always been a person with ideas and courage. If the Japanese Emperor had not ordered him not to act without permission, if he had suffered a great loss and was brought down from the Taiwan Strait, if he had not wanted to turn Manchukuo into the engine of the Japanese Empire through his own efforts...
According to Ishihara Kanir's early temper, he had already taken a series of military adventures, using one or several victories to stimulate the Japanese base camp and induce the Japanese base camp to expand the scale of the Far East Army.
"Ahem!!"
Okamura Yasuji kept rolling his eyes and staring at Ishihara Kanir with caring and mentally retarded eyes: This guy is pretty thinking and wants to command the Kanto Army of 1.5 million or even 3 million. It is already very good that he has not drawn the main elite of the Kanto Army to move south. OK?
"Okay, since Okamura Jun doesn't want to discuss this topic, let's change the topic!"
He didn't say anything but a long sentence. Seeing that Okamura Yasuji never responded, Ishihara Kaner talked to himself for a while, and finally calmed down.
He also knew that the idea of sending troops to attack the Soviet Union in the Far East was inappropriate, and it was almost impossible to turn it into reality.
After a pause, Ishihara Kan turned tone and said, "Okamura, I forgot to congratulate you on becoming the commander of the North China Front Army.
Under your governance and advocacy, the ruling battle of public security in North China has made great progress and results, and the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party is at its end."
