BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1341: commander position
Now is a time of war, and the influence of the military of the island country * has greatly increased, which has also strengthened their control over the cabinet. Whether it is the army or the navy, they all want to send their own people to the throne of the prime minister of the cabinet. In that case, it is undoubtedly possible to obtain more benefits from the war more directly. It\'s just that both the army and the navy need to compromise with each other before they can reach an agreement. Otherwise, only the civil servant faction can win. It is precisely because of this that the former Prime Minister Mitsumasa Minet was appointed as the prime minister.
The original army faction believed that as long as the army could win the Nanyang battlefield, they would have enough strength to drive the navy out of power. But now, the army has stumbled in Borneo. The Lanyin Front Army with more than 200,000 people suffered a devastating blow, and now there are only less than 30,000 people left lingering. Such a disastrous defeat was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the island army who wanted to open up the situation in Nanyang.
"Come here, please come here, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff and the Director of Education!" Commanded the Sixth General Hata Jun.
"Hi, Your Excellency Lu Xiang!" The secretary immediately went to make a call.
Soon, Army Chief of Staff General Prince Kanin Gongzaihito and Director of Education General Yamada Otosan rushed to the office of the Sixth General Hata Toshi. They obviously already knew the news of the disastrous defeat of the Lanyin front army, which made their faces very ugly. Especially Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace was a little embarrassed. After all, General Hisao Nishio, the commander of the Confederate Army, took up the post with his strong support. If the southern army can win the battle, then he will also have face. But now, the war is not going well. Maybe someone in the army wants to replace General Hisao Nishio as the commander of the Southern Army.
Although the war situation in Nanyang is a bit difficult, if they can win, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to obtaining the promotion road to marshal! This is undoubtedly what every general in the army desires.
"You two must have known about the Southern Army\'s Lanyin Front Army, right? Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with this! That\'s 200,000 people! They were defeated and wiped out by the Germans so quickly. If this continues, we think It is simply impossible to defeat the Germans in Nanyang and Australia!" said General Hata Toshi.
"Indeed, the Germans deserve to be the most powerful army in the world. Their powerful combat power has undoubtedly been demonstrated to the fullest." General Yamada Otozo sighed.
As the education director of the island army, he knows that there is a big gap between the island army and the world\'s first-class army. But he also believed before that this gap may be made up by the courage of the officers and soldiers. But now, he realized how big the gap between the two sides was. And these gaps are simply impossible to make up for with courage or will to fight.
"The Germans are equipped with too many tanks and armored vehicles. The 23rd Army is equipped with more than 500 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles. I am afraid that none of our tank divisions have so many tanks! Let alone Let’s say, the German Army has four armies in Nanyang and Australia, that’s a total of more than 2,000 tanks!” General Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace said with a wry smile.
The six generals of Shun Hata and the third general of Yamada became very ugly. There is no doubt that more than 2,000 tanks are undoubtedly a very terrifying number, as if a mountain is pressing on their hearts.
"The German tanks are very powerful. On the Russian battlefield, the Russian armored forces were almost useless. Our tanks are probably not the opponents of the Germans. Maybe we should find a way to develop more powerful tanks. Powerful tanks. Or get a batch of more powerful tanks from the Americans. Otherwise, there is no way to fight the Germans." Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen continued.
General Hata Jun nodded: "I will report to the cabinet, let the cabinet discuss with the Americans. The Americans want us to open up the situation in Nanyang, and may provide us with more support. However, the American Whether the tanks can compete with the German tanks is still unknown. However, the Americans have no shortage of resources, and their tanks will at least be stronger than our tanks."
"In addition to tanks, we can also increase the speed of research and development and equipment of anti-tank weapons. The 37mm tank guns equipped by our troops can hardly penetrate the armor of the main German tanks. Although our soldiers are very Brave, but letting them rush towards German tanks and armored vehicles with explosive packs and cluster grenades is still very tragic. Although our warriors are not afraid of death, such sacrifices are not worth it.” Yamada General Yi San said.
"Well, I will say hello to the arsenal. The 37mm caliber anti-tank gun can\'t penetrate the German tank armor, then develop a larger caliber anti-tank gun! Our war with the Germans will continue. It\'s been a long time. It is necessary to develop a large-caliber anti-tank gun as soon as possible." General Hata Toshi said.
After the topic reached here, it paused temporarily. Neither Prince Xianin Gong Zaijin nor General Yamada Otosan said anything. They knew that the next topic would probably be about General Hisao Nishio, the commander of the Southern Army. It\'s no secret that some bigwigs in the army are dissatisfied with the performance of General Nishio Hiszo, and they know it very well.
Whether General Hisao Nishio can continue to be the commander of the Southern Army depends not only on the attitude of the three chiefs of the Army, but also on the performance of the Southern Army on the Nanyang battlefield. As long as the Southern Army wins the Nanyang battlefield, the position of General Nishio Hisao will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. However, if the southern army not only failed to win the battle in Nanyang, but lost troops and lost generals, then General Nishio Hisao would naturally have no way to stay in the position of commander of the southern army.
