Taiyuan, Shanxi, the First Army Headquarters.

"Your Excellency General!"

"What's the matter?" The commander of the First Army, Kyoshi Katsuki, was drinking tea and listening to the opera in the theater. He had many conflicts with General Tsouchi Techi, the commander of the North China Front Army, and had a lot of separation from each other.

Tetsunachi wanted to get him away early in the morning and found an obedient first army commander. Kazuki Kiyoshi also gave him a cold confrontation, basically just not asking about military affairs, and everything was left to the people below to deal with, and he was drunk and dreaming, and was in love and romance.

However, such a good day will not happen.

As the First Army also joined the war, Kiyoshi Katsuki knew that the old man in the temple would definitely find a way to get him away, and he also saw that there was no need to love the position.

"The General of the Temple is urgently telegramming that something happened to the 'Iron' Group. This is related to the 14th Division. This is a telegram from the Front Command."

When Xiangyue Qingsi saw the content of the telegram, his face suddenly changed.

The Operations Section Chief of the First Army General Staff Department, Tomimi-seok, was already waiting at the headquarters. This happened so suddenly that he caught him off guard.

The Second Army probably has received similar news.

This will be a severe earthquake for the North China Front Army. It is estimated that the news will be known soon. The commander of the North China Front Army, Soichi Teraunuchi, was already furious.

A Japanese lieutenant general was captured on the battlefield, and more than 40 other senior generals were captured, which was a huge shame.

Compared to Lieutenant General Asakamiya Hirohiko, who was captured in Nanjing, if this news broke out, the whole world would be laughing at the Japanese Army.

What's more serious is that when the army sees the navy in the future, he will look up even more. His Majesty the Emperor will rely more on the navy and lose trust in the army.

Others don’t know, but Kiyoshi Kazuki knew that he and Soichi Desouchi could not escape the responsibility for this matter, so he must have lost his post and dismissed.

As for Soichi Tetsuchi of Tera, it is hard to say whether he can pass this level.

Although Kazuki Kiyoshi doesn't like the kind of person who looks noble all day long and looks at others, he will wear small shoes and take revenge as long as others don't follow his wishes. He looks down on such people very much, relying on his good background and domineering.

If he hadn't been a nobleman, he might not have been able to reach his current high position, but now the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope.

The root of this incident is Kenji Doihara, who is now his direct subordinate and he has an unshirkable regulatory responsibility.

As for Soichi Tezuka, the responsibility for this matter was not great, he was only joint and several liability, but this was enough to end his military career, at least he could not be the marshal.

But Soichi Deanuchi will definitely push the blame on him, and he is the best person to take the blame.

Kazuki Kiyoshi now kills Kenji Doihara.

The unauthorized change of the military's combat plan resulted in more than 40 senior officers, including the commander of the 10th Division, Risuke Isotani, being captured by the Chinese. This was an extremely serious mistake.

Of course, Isotani Ryosuke was not without responsibility. If he did not cooperate, Kenji Doihara wanted to conspire with him, he would not easily fall into the hands of the Chinese, and there were more than 3,000 remaining soldiers in Fuji Prefecture.

"Hiss Commander!"

"You did a good thing with Dohihara!" The telegram from Katsuki Kiyoshi hit Tomoto Miku in the face. It was obvious that Tomoto Miku must have participated in this matter, but he did not tell him.

Now that something is happening, someone needs to take the blame, he is the only one who takes the blame. Now, it will be useless to arrest Tomoto Miharu.

"Send a telegram to Kenji Doihara immediately and ask clearly what's going on. Go quickly!" Kyoshi Katsuki ordered in a furious manner.

"Hayi!"

Kenji Doihara didn't know at this time, because he was already in trouble behind him, and even Tokyo knew about this. He was preparing to hold an emergency meeting. All the secret agencies in China started to inquire about some information that could be found.

The captive of a lieutenant general division commander of the army was definitely a major event for Japan. Although Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya knew that the person was captured and was locked up somewhere in Chongqing, China did not announce it to the public, and Japan also handled it with a low profile as "missing population".

Therefore, this "missing" incident did not cause much trouble internationally. At most, people who like to explore secrets dig out clues, and most of them were spreading rumors.

However, if a lieutenant general commander and dozens of subordinate officers were confirmed to be captured, the impact would be great.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has cut off official information from China. At this time, Japan has to urgently activate some secret contact information.

For example, through certain channels in Hong Kong.

"Brother Xue, why no one informed me of the important news that Isotani was captured?" Wang Zhaoming broke into Lao Jiang's office and questioned in person.

"Where did Brother Zhaoming hear this news?" Old Jiang was stunned. The news was limited to a few leaders of the Military Commission. Because the news had not been fully confirmed, the Military Commission ordered a closure and strictly ordered it to spread to the outside world.

Although Wang Zhaoming is the vice president of GMD, he is actually in charge of administrative work and only participates in military affairs. However, he still has the right to participate in and express opinions on some major military decisions.

"Don't worry about where I got the news, just tell me if this is the case?" Wang Zhaoming realized that he was too impulsive and did not think clearly, so he came over to question it. This may have exposed the secret secrets between him and the Japanese side.

"This is still being verified."

"Is this the case?" Wang Zhaoming felt a terrified heart. Chiang Kai-shek's defense and suspicion about him became more and more serious. He made a secretary-general in GMD, completely undermining his vice president. On the Executive Yuan, Sun Ke and Kong family, and on the party affairs, no matter how he continued, he would almost become a commander without a single position.

"Brother Zhaoming, the people below cannot report these rumors about the rumors casually. If they make mistakes, they will be responsible." Old Jiang smiled slightly. It seemed that Wang Zhaoming's contact with the Japanese was very ordinary, and he got the news so quickly.

We must be more careful in the future. We must not let this Wang, who was surnamed Wang, leak the secrets of the government to the Japanese. Of course, he doesn't know how to do it now. If he wants to keep the secrets, he will not be worth it.

"This party and country is almost the only one, Brother Jie!" Wang Zhaoming left angrily.

"Call Dai Yunong for me!" Looking at Wang Zhaoming's departure back, the smile on Lao Jiang quickly dropped and ordered the attendants and guards beside him.

Wang Zhaoming returned to his office and immediately called Zhou Fohai. The two of them had a secret conversation in the office for a long time. After Zhou Fohai came out, he did not go back to his office, but got into a black car and left. No one knew where he went.

An hour after Zhou Fohai left, on the office desk of the Japanese Army Base Camp, a top-secret message transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Army Department.

Since Lu Xiang Yuen Sugiyama has already planned to resign from Lu Xiang's position and has completed the hospitalization procedures on the grounds of illness, this physical examination has really found a problem. Sugiyama has appendicitis and needs immediate surgery.

In this way, Sugiyama Moto happened to find an excuse to put aside this mess. The newly appointed sub-minister of the Army was Hideki Tojo, who had just been promoted from the position of Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army. This guy did not show any stage fright when he took over this mess. Instead, he showed great desire to show off. He frequently made tough remarks to China, and gained the support of many young and strong factions in the army, and became a rising star.

Hideki Tojo is also a supporter of the China expansionist faction, advocating the conquest of China by force, which has also won the support of many fascist soldiers in Japan.

But at this moment, he also encountered a very difficult problem. If this problem is not solved well, it is likely to ruin his future.

Hideki Tojo is not a fool either. Although he is temporarily acting as the Minister of the Army, he is not the Minister of the Army after all. Regarding the candidate for the Minister of the Army, he knows that he has no hope. There is no one who has just been promoted to the Deputy Chief or the other, which is too hated.

But if this happened, I guess those who fought for the Army Minister were halfway down.

It just so happens that I have a real Army Secretary?

After picking up the top secret message on the table, Hideki Tojo went straight to the Imperial Army General Hospital.

Hideki Tojo rushed to the hospital and asked, Sugiyama Sora Lu had just entered the operating room and was undergoing a cecum septal surgery inside.

Hideki Tojo's face looked ugly. The old man Sugiyama Sora actually used this trick to avoid trouble. Didn't he say that his appendicitis was not too serious and the surgery was not arranged immediately?

It was a coincidence, but it was a coincidence, but it happened to be at this time?

Although the cecum surgery is not a major operation, it has to be ill for a week before he can get out of the disease. In a week, who else can he take the blame?

Hideki Tojo thought about it and still asked someone to take the blame. He couldn't bear the blame. He had to find a tall chief of staff. That was the royal family and could not take the blame. He could not cause trouble for himself.

Isn’t there another Prime Minister of Guards above? I’ll look for him!

The top secret message that Hideki Tojo had almost changed his shape came to the Prime Minister's residence and asked to meet Prime Minister Komako.

Konomiya naturally knew about this a long time ago, and he wanted to hide, but he couldn't. Who made him the prime minister? After a long time of delay, he let Hideki Tojo leave for more than an hour before asking his attendant to inform Tojo to come and see him.

Komashi Yunshan said a few angry words in vaguely, and then kicked the ball to the Army Department again. You should first discuss a strategy for dealing with it, such as blocking news from the country first, even if it is fake news to confuse the public, and wait for the Chinese to do anything.

Hideki Tojo was very injured, and the meaning of the guard was very obvious. Your army would wipe the shit on your own, so don’t embarrass the Japanese Empire.

On the one hand, Hideki Tojo sent a telephone call to the North China Front Army Headquarters to learn more about the details, while summoning his staff to discuss emergency response plans.

The worst thing was the second army headquarters in Jinan. The news that Isotani Ryosuke was suspected of being captured came, and it was a mess and a mess.
