Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Back in the headquarters, Ushijima immediately walked up to Ishihara Wanji.

"Your Excellency Ishihara, did your letter to Kimura ask for support?"

Ishihara sighed: "Ushishima-kun, you have also seen that Umetsumi never planned to send troops to support us. My letter was for his opinion."

"Nani?" Ushijima stared wide-eyed, and looked at Ishihara Waner in disbelief.

He already knew that Ishihara Waner and Umezumi were incompatible, and according to what he knew about Ishihara, there was a high probability that Meizumi would be scolded in that letter. It's not like Ishihara couldn't do such a thing.

"Your Majesty Ishihara, the enemy is now at hand. If we continue to fight among ourselves, the Kwantung Army may really be doomed."

Ishihara nodded: "Of course I know this, so I wrote my last suggestion in the letter to Umezumi!"

Ushijima was taken aback for a moment: "The last suggestion?"

"Your Excellency Ishihara, what do you mean?"

Shi Yuanchang sighed: "There is no danger in Baicheng, and the combined strength of the two divisions is no more than [-]. It is impossible to deal with the [-] troops five thousand miles away!"

"To be honest, from the very beginning, I was never absolutely sure that Baicheng could be defended, not even Songyuan."

"But once these two places are all lost, the next step is to attack Changchun, and the Kwantung Army Command will inevitably be affected by the flames of war."

Niu Dao frowned: "We have the strength of four divisions in Changchun, can't we still hold it?"

"Even if Baicheng and Songyuan are lost, we can still deal with Wu Qianli, can't we?"

"No!" Ishihara said seriously: "Ushishima-kun, haven't you seen it yet? The current war is no longer determined by the number of people."

"Maybe it's my illusion. The combat effectiveness of Wuqianli's troops has far surpassed our Kwantung Army. Whether it's the number of tanks or aircraft, we are no match for him."

"Although Changchun has four divisions, and can even mobilize troops from other places, what's the use of having more?"

"Wu Qianli has a flying team, and his flying power alone is not something we can compete with."

"If it wasn't because he still cared about the people in the city, I'm afraid his planes would have already appeared above all the cities we are in at this time."

Niu Dao took a deep breath: "According to what you are saying now, is there really nothing we can do?"

Ishihara shook his head with a smile: "If it wasn't for the outbreak of the sea war, maybe we still have a chance!"

Since the outbreak of the war at sea, most of the main force of the Kwantung Army has been transferred away, and even the few aircraft have been transferred away. Now the entire Kwantung Army's aircraft are under the control of Umezumi, and it is impossible to mobilize with Ishihara Kanji .

Umezumi took a deep breath: "Then what is your suggestion to Umezumi?"

"Relocation!" Ishihara smiled and said with a long sigh: "Changchun is no longer suitable for the Kwantung Army to be stationed. We must find a way to weaken Wu Qianli's military strength, at least find a way to block his tanks and rocket launchers!"

"My advice to him is to let him go to Dalian!"

"It's close to the sea, maybe we have to rely on the power of the navy this time."

"This is impossible!" Ushijima said coldly, "Your Excellency Ishihara, as the senior commander of the army, you should be very clear that our army and navy cannot live in peace."

"The people in the navy are all fishermen. They don't know tactics, and they even smell like seaweed when they walk."

How could Ishihara not be clear about this?
The history of the island country is so long. It can be said that since the birth of the army in the island country, the army and navy have never met.

Although they are both military forces of the island country, the two sides just dislike each other, and there have even been large-scale cooperative battles.

But now that the war at sea has broken out, more energy has been put on the navy in the country. In addition, the army has been repeatedly deflated in the Chinese battlefield. This has led to an increasing call for the navy in the island country. Can't lift it up.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the truth!" Umezumi said: "The strongest force in our country is not the army force, and most of the industries exist for the navy."

"The various resources plundered by our army are sent back to the country, and more of them actually serve the navy."

The island country itself is an island on the sea, which is not connected to the continental plate. In this era of inconvenient air transportation, they can only rely on those warships at sea if they want to transport large-scale troops. It can indeed be ranked.

In terms of the size of the navy, the devil is second only to the ugly country and the empire on which the sun never sets.

Even before they launched the war, they had already made preparations. When the war broke out, all the war resources they had saved for decades across the country were all used to build a strong naval force.

This is why although they are only an island country, they have the courage to provoke Southeast Asian countries.

Of course, no matter how frugal they are, the saved supplies will be exhausted one day, so they set their goal on the Huaxia battlefield, thinking that they can quickly occupy China and use the abundant resources to support them to finish the war .

But now, they are not fighting the Huaxia War smoothly, so that they have to invest more troops to win the western battlefield as quickly as possible.

The current island navy seems to be quite strong, but it is just a matter of gusts of wind. Once they withstand several waves of fierce attacks and pull them into a tug-of-war and protracted war, their disadvantages will gradually become apparent.

In particular, Ugly Country has tried to block his sea transportation route, preparing to drag the island country to death.

The more important reason why Ishihara proposed to Umezumi to relocate the headquarters of the Kwantung Army to Dalian was to extend the front line.

Dalian is not far from Changchun, but from the south of Changchun, the terrain will become more tortuous. It is very inconvenient for the tanks of Wuqianli to move, and Dalian has a navy stationed all year round. If these navies are involved, then they will There is one more chance of winning.

"Your Excellency Ishihara, although you have considered this, I don't think Your Excellency Umezumi will accept your proposal."

Shi Yuan closed his eyes and nodded: "That's all I can do. As for whether to accept it or not, it depends on how he understands it."

"I met Umezumi last time. His physical condition is not very good. If my guess is correct, it is very likely that Kimura will be in charge of the Kwantung Army in the end."

"But according to your rank, you are."

Before Ushijima finished speaking, Ishihara interrupted with a wave of his hand: "I will decide the winner with Wu Qianli here."

"Ever since I was transferred back to China for the first time, I knew that the imperial army could no longer accommodate me. To put it bluntly, I am not as good as a division commander like you as a general."

"Ushishima-kun, if the empire is not united, hegemony will never be achieved, and we have made the biggest mistake from beginning to end, that is, we should not underestimate Huaxia!"
