Haikou, Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters.
Sunlight shines into the room through the semi-curved windows and shines on the complex and exquisite crystal chandelier in the center of the ceiling, reflecting scattered colorful light spots.
In the room, Vice Admiral Kaneo Sunakawa was leisurely bathing in the beauty, playing with his beloved tea set.
In contrast, Chief of Staff Ugaki Wanji was busier.
At this time, he was observing the kettle while preparing ingredients such as milk, sugar cubes, and honey.
That set of flowing movements looks a bit like a British chef's immediate sense.
"Ugaki-kun, you are in a good mood today. My jar of authentic Daiying black tea is a trophy obtained from the battlefield in Southeast Asia by special connections. Ordinary people are not blessed to enjoy it."
“By the way, the snacks will be here soon. Let's eat and chat later.”
Like most senior officers who came from Etajima Naval War School, the two Japanese generals mentioned above did not forget to maintain a luxurious lifestyle even when the war situation was the most anxious.
It's like the black tea that Kaneo Sunakawa just mentioned.
It was captured from a battle in the first phase of the Japanese army's southward advance plan, and its original owner was a major general who led the British army.
The twists and turns of the background story give this jar of tea unique value.
Because of this, the old devil would only take it out and savor it with others on special days or when receiving important visitors.
Facing the unabashed show off from his superiors, Chief of Staff Ugaki Wanji was very applauded.
His face showed an expression of great honor, as if the jar of black tea was a treasure gifted by some kind of locust.
“I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to taste such delicious food on this remote island. Partnering with Sunagawkun is really the wisest choice I have ever made.”
While the two were chatting away, freshly made English black tea with milk, honey and sugar cubes was made.
At almost the same time, the head chef of the headquarters arrived on time with a snack tray.
After a sip of black tea and a bite of snacks, Kaneo Sunagawa squinted his eyes and sighed intoxicatedly:
“Ah, afternoon tea, this is real life! Compared with the generals who are fighting bitterly in the Pacific, the life of you and me is not very comfortable.”
“Nanyun was so majestic back then, but now he's not at the same military rank as me.”
After expressing his inner feelings, the old devil took out a document from the drawer of his desk, and then motioned to his partner to read it at will.
While his colleagues were reading, his face gradually became fanatical, and his words were full of ambition.
“I originally thought that for someone with bad luck like me, the limit of his career would be lieutenant general and commander. But I never expected that after I came to the Republic of China, everything turned out to be bright and clear.”
“Perhaps one day in the future, I can find a new path like Mr. Toyoda Shinjiro and step into the center of power of the empire as a technocrat.”
“Work harder! Our goal for the second half of the year is simple, which is to double the output value of major industries in the occupied areas!”
“When I return to my hometown, the position of commander-in-chief of the garrison will definitely fall on Ugaki-kun.”
As the 36th batch of Etajima Naval War School, Kaneo Sunagawa was far inferior to Chuichi Nagumo of the same period in terms of luck and personal ability.
Due to various complicated reasons, the old Japanese did not become a front-line combat commander after graduation. Instead, he was sent by the senior management to work as a technical bureaucrat in various garrison offices.
Theoretically, this is a relatively miserable promotion path.
The best result is to get involved in several external bureaus of the Navy Ministry and retire as a major general in his lifetime.
However, Kaneo Sunakawa did not give up on himself.
In the next few years, Lao Guizi completed the tasks in strict accordance with the requirements of his superiors, made a series of management tasks prosperous, and was even awarded the second-class Ruibao Medal by Tian Locust.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
Before the southward advance plan began, Benzi Haijun suddenly remembered that there was a major general with good logistics capabilities in his rear area.
Taking into account the increasingly tight situation of war reserve resources, senior officials decisively promoted Kaneokan Sunagawa to a higher level. Later, he was transferred to Qiongya and put in charge of logistics supply and resource plunder.
Hearing the murmurs of his colleagues, Chief of Staff Ugaki Wanji secretly clenched his fists, and a trace of expectation flashed across his face involuntarily.
“Sachuan Jun, I know you are not a person who is content with the status quo. And judging from the current development trend of Qiongya, it will not be long before a transfer order is issued from the mainland.”
“The telegram from the Military Command also greatly praised our work. Even His Majesty Tian Locust praised you and me. Our future is bright.”
Although his superior's performance in the military field is mediocre, sometimes he can even be described as a piece of shit.
But Ugaki Wanji had to admit that the other party did have two skills in logistics and economics, and could exceed the local targets almost every quarter.
Domestically, people engage in economic plunder. The local mining, agriculture, industry, commerce, and financial industries in Qiongya were all spared, and they were all plundered like bones and marrow.
Externally, 40,000 young men were recruited from the major occupied areas of the Republic of China through connections, and cheap labor was used to build railways, airports and docks.
Ugaki Wanji thinks he will never be able to learn this method in his next life.
As you complimented each other with every word, the afternoon tea time for the two of them officially ended.
After the chefs took away the tableware on the table, Chief of Staff Ugaki Wanji took out a map and many documents from his briefcase, and then reported to the commander with a serious look on his face:
“Since May, the 15th and 16th Garrison Corps, plus the local police force, totaling 6,000 troops, have carried out large-scale raids and encroachments on the enemy's base areas.”
“According to the Army's experience, we built bunkers along the highway and set up several blockade lines to separate and surround us. At the same time, we destroyed all suspicious villages and created no-man's land to scare the monkeys.”
“Based on the current progress, we will be able to completely eliminate all resistance forces in three months at most.”
Knowing people well and making full use of their talents has always been Kaneo Sunakawa's work principle.
This old devil knows very well that he has no talent in the military field, so the entire military operations of the Garrison Mansion, large and small, have been planned and executed by Ugaki Wanji.
Hearing that his troops had made breakthrough progress, he immediately stood up from his seat, then looked at the map and marveled:
“Yoshi, it seems that the Army Red Deer are not useless trash, there are still some smart people among them. For example, Tada Shun, his Sanko Plan is indeed the best choice to deal with the guerrillas.”
“Ugaki-kun, give me an order to have all the garrison troops from all major garrison forts attack. Except for some non-combatants who need to stay at the base, all the rest of the marines will be put into the battlefield.”
"Before autumn, I will completely wipe out those **** guerrillas."
As soon as these words came out, Chief of Staff Ugaki Wan suddenly became energetic.
The whole army is out in force, which means that the commander is ready for promotion and is paving the way for his next official career.
In other words, the opportunity for you to rise to the top is right in front of you.
In order to advance to the next level as soon as possible and control the military and political power of Qiongya, the old devil gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and went straight to the next level, and made a super double move.
“Sunagawkun, since you have decided to wipe out all the guerrillas in one fell swoop, why don't we distribute awakening potions to the soldiers.”
"As long as they take the medicine, the Marines will experience rapid changes in terms of combat effectiveness and sustained combat capabilities. By then, those guerrillas hiding in the mountains will inevitably be unable to withstand the heavy pressure."
“How about this plan?”
In this world war, all the major participating countries are trying their best to increase the combat effectiveness of their combat troops, which has also contributed to the supply of lollipops on an unprecedented scale in human history.
The Aryan supermen of Germany include Pervitin, who won the first Tour de France with this lollipop.
As a veteran power, Daiying is naturally unwilling to lag behind.
In the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa, they consumed 100,000 pills of benzolin without saying a word, and relied on the stamina of eating sugar to kill the enemy to pieces.
On the Pacific battlefield, people often only saw the Japanese Kamikaze squad, crashing into various surface ships with Showa Iced Green Tea Nekome Tablets and Awakening Pills in their mouths.
But as everyone knows, in order to fight against the crazy behavior of the Japanese, A Chou's sailors also took drugs.
Without going up to the top, which anti-aircraft gunner would dare to confront a suicide bomber honestly? I really think that everyone is a warrior with firm beliefs.
"oh?"
“It seems that I still don't know Ugaki-kun well enough. With a pillar like you, my country will surely win the Pacific War.”
Hearing this, Kaneo Sunakawa looked at his partner in surprise. He always thought that his chief of staff was a calm and steady commander, but he never expected that the other person also had a crazy side.
Eating a lollipop feels good for a while, but there are many hidden dangers in the future.
After thinking for a moment, the old Japanese agreed to the above decision. After all, the local people have always wanted to build Qiongya into an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Pacific.
Completely dealing with those guerrillas will definitely make your resume more glorious.
As for what happens next?
Sorry, I will have returned to my home country by then, so there is no need to worry at all.
Considering the huge initial investment, in order to ensure that the payment plan was foolproof, Kaneo Sunagawa added:
"I will send a telegram to the base camp now to try to mobilize an aviation fleet from the mainland for air support. By then we will spend all our resources and we will be absolutely safe."
“It is said that the latest model of the Zero fighter has begun to be put into service. Maybe I can apply for more than twenty aircraft.”
Different from our own navy, the army certainly cannot rely on it in this operation.
Even though the relationship between the two parties has eased somewhat recently, the other party's attitude has not changed and they are always willing to provide all support except help.
Since the 21st Army was unreliable, it naturally had no choice but to seek help from the mainland.
It happened that the Military Command had always wanted to clear Qiongya, which was why Sunakawa Kaneo dared to speak.
“Okay! Let's wait for the good news from the commander!” (End of this chapter)
