Chapter 450: No one would be happy about this
The adjutant was stunned as he listened.
He probably understood that the general meant to ignore the matter.
But is this really appropriate? After all, you are a member of the royal family. If this matter is not resolved quickly and Kyoto is unstable, can you stay out of it?
"General, what you mean is that if the division doesn't enter, the military police won't conduct a comprehensive investigation."
The last time there was a problem with poison gas bombs, the Empire used chemical plants to transport leaked materials, but this time, are they going to use the same method again?
Some things can be used once, but if you use them a second time, you are worse than pigs and dogs. The people are not fools.
"No matter how we investigate, not only will we not be able to find out anything, it will also easily lead to more violent retaliation from the enemy. Rather than doing something meaningless here, it is better to leave it alone and directly explain that this is a retaliation action taken by the enemy. And the reason should not be concealed. Just explain that the imperial frontline troops used poison gas bombs."
Asaka spoke calmly, but the adjutant next to her sounded confused.
The Imperial Army knows about the use of poison gas bombs, but there seems to be no need to tell anyone about it, as it will have a negative impact on the empire.
"General, it makes sense for us to tell the truth." After all, once this is said, the empire will no longer have the face to show up.
Asaka put down the teacup; "What does this have to do with the Empire? It's all because Terauchi Juichi didn't listen to the headquarters' advice. It has nothing to do with us. Besides, we can use this incident to make an example of someone else. After all, some people in the current headquarters still advocate the use of poison gas bombs to force Wuhan to surrender. Do you think this is possible?"
"Your Excellency the General is considering that all this is the fault of Terauchi Juichi and has nothing to do with us."
"Interesting." Zhou Weiguo finished reading the telegram sent by Xiao Ya and handed it to Chao Xiang Xiuling beside him; "Look, Tokyo's operation is really amazing. This time they didn't even say that there was a chemical plant transportation leak."
"It's strange, why are they so generous to admit it this time." Xiao Ya, who was sitting next to him, didn't understand what the Japanese army was planning this time. Could it be that they really couldn't hide it?
That shouldn't be the case. With their abilities, it doesn't seem difficult to keep this matter secret. After all, with such a powerful state apparatus in place, it's not easy to keep it secret.
"Sister, there's nothing strange about this. It's not that they don't want to hide it, but that they don't dare to hide it."
Not daring to hide anything, Xiao Ya glanced at Nan Zao Mingzi and asked, "Why? Is there anything else they dare not do?"
Zhao Xiang Xiuling, who was fiddling with the cooked eggs, glanced at her younger sister, opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end. Although she knew what her sister, who was forced to take her in, meant, she let her younger sister do the expressing herself.
After all, in the big family of the Independent Regiment, except for her own family, the rest of the people still somewhat distrust her.
If she wants everyone to agree with her as soon as possible, she can only do more things that are beneficial to the Independence Group and to her man.
As long as this is achieved, Minamizō Akiko will truly be a member of the independent regiment in the future, and she will not be asked to avoid important meetings by going to the medical company.
"Sister, we don't know how many poison gas bombs Okamura Neiji prepared, and neither do the enemies. And now, those big men in Tokyo still think that we did it. I believe they can suppress public opinion and say it was a problem with the transportation of the chemical plant. But if the same thing happens again, how will they explain it? Will it be the chemical plant again? After all, the people are not fools, right?"
Tadayoshi Sano agreed with what Minamizo Akiko said and said with a smile, "Instead of embarrassing themselves later, it is better to just speak out about it. At least they won't be too embarrassed next time."
"This move is indeed a good one, but I'm afraid it won't be so friendly to us next time." Ichiro Kuroki said bitterly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Fang Shengli, who was lying on the side and bargaining with Xiao Ye to buy a ring for Shen Xin, turned his head and looked at Kuroki Ichiro; "What do you mean, what does this have to do with us?"
"How come it has nothing to do with it?" Minamizo Akiko looked at Fang Shengli and said, "This time they directly said it was caused by poison gas bombs. Then the next step is definitely to find a scapegoat. The highest commander of the Central China Front Army cannot bear this responsibility. Then the only person who should bear this responsibility is the commander of the 11th Army, Terauchi Juichi. After all, it was he who gave the order to use poison gas bombs. He needs to be directly responsible for this matter."
Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes and understood. He looked at Nanzō Akiko and smiled, "The 11th Army needs to be replaced. New officers have three major things to do when they take office. The Wuhan defense line has been evacuated to Hunan, Sichuan, Henan and other places because of the rapid progress of the Japanese army. Wuhan will fall in the next few days."
After all, the river defense fortresses have been completely evacuated, and the navy will take over Wuhan smoothly next. After all, the other side had sent out several destroyers at the beginning. Now these destroyers have built a complete defense system upstream of Wuhan.
The navy, which had lost almost all of its warships in the Jiangyin shipwreck, now has seven or eight destroyers and a light cruiser to support its appearance.
"Yes, after the fall of Wuhan, the battle between the Japanese navy and army has ended. The next battle will be more of a showdown between the Japanese army and Wuhan."
The next battle will determine who will gain the initiative and who will be the victorious side. He doesn’t know about the Wuhan side, but on the Japanese side, he will definitely be promoted and may even be received by their Majesty.
This is a great honor for them. If they were given a command knife or something, these people would be able to keep it as a family heirloom.
Glory is not easy to obtain, but next, they will have a chance.
This opportunity originally belonged to Terauchi Juichi, but this time, because of his own suicidal behavior, this opportunity became someone else's.
The predecessors planted the trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, but Terauchi Hisaichi's life was more tragic. He wanted the 11th Army to be the leader of the Central China Front Army, and he did it, but after doing it, he had to bear the responsibility that he should not have borne.
No one would feel happy about this.
However, whether he is happy or not has nothing to do with me. As long as I am happy, it doesn't matter.
In a word, all of this was caused by him. I don’t know whether Terauchi Shouichi regrets the decision he made not long ago.
"So, our chance to go south has arrived." Ono, who had been discussing how to sell the ring for a good price, asked with his eyes narrowed.
