Chapter 170: The Best Times

There was a gloomy cloud in Wuhan, but the Shanghai Command in Suzhou was jubilant.

Akira Muto, chief of operations staff of the General Staff Department, and Chang Yong, chief of the intelligence staff, all took off their military uniforms and danced bare-chested on the table.

More than a dozen staff officers of the headquarters sat around and beat to the beat.

Halfway through the dance, Muto Akira suddenly stopped, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" The dozen or so staff officers sitting around raised their glasses one after another, cheering with forgetfulness.

Not to be outdone, Chang Yong jumped up, raised his wine glass and shouted hoarsely: "The Great Japanese Empire is onboard!" ”

"Great Japanese Empire onboard!" The dozen or so staff officers around cheered loudly again, and then clinked glasses and drank them all.

At this time, Muto Zhang and Changyong were already half drunk, and suddenly hugged each other again, chanted a cherry blossom ballad, and sang two sentences, and more than a dozen staff officers around them also joined in.

Cherry blossoms,

Cherry blossoms.

Under the sunny sky in March,

Endless cherry blossoms.

Flowers are like a sea of clouds like colorful glow,

The fragrance is incomparably picturesque.

Come on,

Come on,

Come and see the cherry blossoms.

Through a thin wooden door, the three old devils, Matsui Ishone, Tsukada Tsukasa, and Mamoru Iinuma, were sitting around a low table, listening to the noise of the staff officers outside, and raising their glasses to each other.

If it were to be changed to usual, the staff officers outside were so noisy, and Matsui Ishine would have been furious a long time ago.

However, today, Matsui Shigen has no intention of interfering, if it weren't for his age, he would even want to join the carnival of the young staff officers!

The carnival of young staff officers is for a reason!

Because of the battle to capture Nanjing, the victory is in hand!

Just this afternoon, the secret service suddenly came with an exciting good news that the high-ranking generals of the China Army who had stayed in Nanjing had actually fled!

Immediately afterwards, the various divisions and regiments on the front line have sent back more exciting good news, except for the Zhina Army on the Purple Mountain is still resisting stubbornly, the rest of the Zhina Army in various battlefields have collapsed, and fled into the chaotic city of Nanjing, just because it is dark, the divisions and regiments have not pursued into the city for the time being!

But it is foreseeable that the battle will end as soon as it dawns tomorrow!

Because the Chinese army in Nanjing has completely lost the will to resist!

"Tsukada-kun, Iinuma-kun, how many years? How many years has it been? Matsui Shigen held the wine cup and said in a quiet tone, "If you count from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, it is more than 300 years, if you count from the new era of the Taika Revolution, it is 1,300 years, 1,300 years, and the dream that we and the sages of the human race have fought for is finally coming true!" ”

"Sodax." Tsukada paused and said with deep understanding, "Because of the harsh living environment, we and the human race have endured too much suffering, but it is precisely because of the suffering and hardships suffered that we and the human race have forged our tenacious and unyielding character, and after thousands of years of struggle, we finally have today's brilliant rise!" ”

"Hello!" Mamoru Iinuma also paused and said, "Nanjing, the government of China will inevitably surrender, and then the empire will form an alliance with it, and then the entire East Asian power can be used to go north to compete with the Soviet Union, just wait for the defeat of the Soviet Union, the Japanese Empire will have unlimited resources and the territory of Guangmao, and if the potential development is thirty years old, it will have enough strength to compete with the United States and Britain for the throne of world hegemony, and the world will soon enter the era of human domination, haha!" ”

"Cheers!" Matsui Shigen happily raised his glass, "For the upcoming era of the Terran race!" ”

"Cheers!" Tsukada Tsukada and Mamoru Iinuma followed and raised their glasses, "Yamato Nation...... Onboard! ”

"By the way, there's one more thing." Matsui put down his glass and said, "The senior generals of China who stayed in Nanjing have basically fled, and it is foreseeable that the China army in the city will give up resistance and surrender in large numbers, so the imperial army will soon face the problem of how to deal with prisoners of war." ”

After a pause, Matsui Shigen said again: "And this time it is no longer hundreds or thousands of prisoners of war, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!" If all executions continue as before, will they cause international criticism? ”

Tsukada Tsukasa and Mamoru Iinuma exchanged glances and asked, "Your Excellency General, what is the opinion of His Highness Hatohiko?" ”

"Don't worry about His Highness Hatohiko's opinion yet." Matsui Ishone waved his hand and said, "Just your own opinions." ”

Mamoru Iinuma thought for a moment and whispered, "Your Excellency Commander, why don't you summon Muto Akira and Nagayong to come in for a meeting?" ”

"No, you don't." Matsui Shigen waved his hand, and then said, "Muto Akira and Changyong have already expressed their attitude, what they mean, kill all the prisoners of war, and leave no one behind!" ”

Tsukada Tsukasa and Iinuma Mamoru were awe-inspiring when they heard this, and they all killed them all?

After a long time, Tsukada Tsukasa and Iinuma Mamoru finally nodded.

"Okay." Matsui Ishine said, "Then kill them all!" ”

At this time, Matsui Ishone's adjutant suddenly pushed the door in, and said with a pause: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Miss Hibino, a military reporter from the Asahi Shimbun stationed in Shanghai, wants to give you an exclusive interview. ”

"Hibino-san?" Tsukada Tsukada and Iinuma Morito's time lit up.

Matsui Ishine also said happily: "Ohara-kun, please come in." ”

Adjutant Ohara said yes, bent down and exited the room, and after a while, a beautiful female reporter with picturesque eyebrows pushed the door and walked into the room, and as soon as she entered the door, she bowed deeply to the three old devils.

"Hibino Miko, I've seen Your Excellency the Commander, and I've seen Your Excellency the two generals!"

"Miss Hibino, you don't have to be so formal." Matsui waved his hand and said, "Please be seated." ”

"Hello!" Hibino Miko bowed again, then sat cross-legged beside Matsui Ishone, then took out a notebook and pen, and asked, "Your Excellency, Commander, as the commander of the Central China Front of the Imperial Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army, how do you feel at this moment?" ”

"Thoughts?" Matsui Ishi pondered for a moment and said, "At this moment, I just want to say that this is the best of times!" ”

"The best of times?" Hibino Miko said, "Your Excellency, is there any special meaning in this sentence?" ”

"It doesn't mean anything special." Matsui Ishone waved his hand and continued, "I mean to say that it is the greatest luck of our generation to be able to live in the Showa era, to be able to participate in the rise of the Yamato nation, and to be able to witness the Japanese Empire standing on top of the world, so I say that this is the best era!" ”

Hibino Miko's beautiful eyes lit up, and she picked up the pen and wrote them down one by one.
