Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Thirty years of wine and five flavors of food

Prince De, who had been silent and expressionless, suddenly asked, "Chief Tanaka?"

"Why haven't we met Chahar Chairman Liu Ming yet?"

"Could it be that Chairman Liu has never joined us?"

"But you deliberately made up lies to deceive me, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Tanaka was stunned.

Liu Xin, who was sitting next to him, quickly turned his mind

Then he responded with a smile on his face: "Oh my!"

"How dare we deceive you, Prince De, on such a serious matter?"

"What's more, this operation is a joint effort between our Japanese army, the Mongolian army, and Chairman Liu, with the goal of capturing the Chahar and Suiyuan regions as quickly as possible."

"Nothing"

"I believe you, King De, also know this."

"Today, Zhangjiakou is not the only place where the troops led by Commander Tang are stationed."

"The 35th Army, commanded by Commander Fu, is watching closely from all sides."

"They are all on guard against Chairman Liu."

"In addition, Mr. Tojo is currently actively dispatching the Northeast Army in Rehe."

“This series of deployments will take some time to complete.”

"Right now"

"If Chairman Liu rashly leads his troops to join us..."

“That will definitely alert the other party.”

“Before the Kwantung Army arrived”

"Launch an attack on Zhangbei and Zhangjiakou"

"We've lost more than we've gained!"

Tanaka looked at the expressionless face of the King of De

He quickly echoed and explained: "Mr. De Wang, you are really worrying too much!"

"The Empire of Japan has already massively increased its military deployment in the Juyongguan area."

“Based on the current situation”

"Chahar will eventually be occupied by our powerful empire."

"There's more."

"When the Empire attacked Pingjin and Tianjin"

"The 29th Army led by Song fought bravely and fought to the death."

“It caused great losses to the empire”

"But such an army was actually not tolerated by the national army."

"After our empire successfully occupied Pingjin and Tianjin"

"The 29th Army was actually swallowed up by the Kuomintang army."

"This is like killing the donkey after it has done its job, not to mention that the mill has not yet been fully worked."

"People like Chairman Liu who worked so hard to build their power"

"How could I easily give away the fruits of my hard work to others for nothing?"

"So, I have already sent someone to make a solemn promise to Chairman Liu."

"If he is willing to surrender to our great Empire of Japan"

"Then the Empire can not only allow him to continue to retain his original military organization and strength..."

"And our empire will continue to provide him with sufficient and sophisticated weapons and equipment!"

"You must know"

"Chairman Liu is an extremely smart and capable person."

“For this situation”

"He certainly knows it well in his heart—as the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs of the time is a hero!"

Prince De frowned and thought to himself.

Just as he was about to step into Zhangbei, a mysterious letter was delivered to him.

This letter told him that Liu Ming had never defected to the Japanese army!

What is even more shocking is that the letter also revealed that Tanaka and Liu Xin had joined forces to set up a Hongmen Banquet for him.

At first, Prince De was skeptical about the news.

However, when he heard Tanaka and Liu Xin's explanation with his own ears, he found that there were many clues.

They keep explaining to themselves, trying to gain their trust

But at the same time, there was a hidden meaning in those words.

It may be a kind of reminder and warning to myself.

Regardless of whether Tojo really returned to Rehe to mobilize the Kwantung Army as they said,

Just considering Liu Ming's 30,000-man army and Zhangjiakou's strong city defenses,

Even if there were 100,000 well-equipped and well-trained elite troops of the National Army

It would be a pipe dream to want to defeat it within ten days or half a month.

This time

For example, the semi-mechanized troops of the Kwantung Army

The speed of mobilizing troops is more than enough

On the other hand, Zhangbei is a strategic location for the Kwantung Army's southward advance.

But Zhangbei City is not high and its military strength is weak.

Fu's army is already stirring around

Once lost

That's not worth it.

If Liu Ming really surrendered at this time

The most correct thing to do at this time is to revolt immediately to attract the attention of the national army.

Relieve Zhang Bei's pressure

Then the idea of ​​alarming the snake by stirring up trouble will be refuted.

What's more, the Japanese army has increased its troops in the Juyongguan area, and Commander Tang's troops are firmly tied up and cannot be deployed freely.

Relying solely on the 35th Army under Commander Fu

It is even more impossible to confront Liu Ming.

After all these analyses

The so-called "facts" spoken by Tanaka and Liu Xin are full of loopholes and are vulnerable.

It is obvious that everything they said was just an elaborate lie.

Prince De couldn't help but snorted in his heart

There's something fishy about this.

But Prince De is not a cunning man.

The person who sent the letter to me didn't have good intentions.

Moreover, the Japanese now have this huge advantage

Plus he wanted to become the Mongol king

Still have to rely on the Japanese army

I couldn't help but suppress the anger in my heart that wanted to expose the other party.

He smiled and said, "I see."

"I misunderstood."

"But Chief Tanaka..."

"There's one thing I don't understand"

"Mr. Nishio Hisashizo promised me."

"The Empire fully supports me in establishing the Mongolian State"

"But now you have promised to occupy Chahar in the Empire."

"Liu Ming is still the chairman of Chahar"

"What does this mean?"

Tanaka heard that Prince Toku threatened him with Lord Nishio Hisazo

Burning with anger

But then it was hidden deep inside

Recalling the time when I first agreed to Liu Xin's plan

Deep in my heart, there is actually a most critical factor that cannot be ignored - the disappearance of General Tojo.

The situation at that time was extremely serious and it was a special case, so we had to make this decision.

However, at this moment, when he heard Prince De mention the name Nishio Hisazo, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming over him.

You know, Nishio Toshizo is not an ordinary person!

He was not only a member of the "Saber Group" who was personally bestowed with a sword by His Majesty the Emperor, but also a capable old subordinate of Army Minister Tanaka Giichi.

If Nishio Toshizo knew that he was trying to imprison Prince Toku, even with the support of General Tojo, he would probably not be able to withstand Nishio Toshizo's raging anger!

Thinking of this, Tanaka couldn't help but cast his gaze again at the four serious-looking, fully armed guards standing behind King De, and he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart.

But soon, Tanaka quickly adjusted his mood, and forced a smile on his face, trying to appease the noble Prince De in front of him.

He quickly explained, "Prince De, you truly misunderstood! Our great empire is single-mindedly striving to achieve the grand goal of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and to accomplish this feat, we naturally rely on the strong support of many like-minded friends. China, this vast land, holds endless resources and opportunities. A hero like Chairman Liu, born in Hebei, will naturally be appointed the highest official in the region once the empire successfully occupies Hebei. With Chairman Liu's wisdom and foresight, he will surely have no objection to such an arrangement."

"As for the reason why we have promised Chairman Liu the position of Chairman of the Chahar region, this is merely a temporary measure. In short, please rest assured, Prince De, you will always be the King of Mongolia, who is fully supported by our empire and your status is unparalleled!

Prince De smiled

Tanaka smiled

Liu Xin's face was full of bitterness

The three of them each had their own thoughts
