The 2nd Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and the 3rd and 10th Divisions of the Korean Army fell into a heavy encirclement, which immediately caused a fundamental reversal of the situation in the war between the Japanese and Jilin Army. Although, the 6th and 8th divisions of the Kwantung Army continued to advance. But will they be able to salvage the game? I'm afraid that many people will have questions.

After the news was transmitted back to Japan, it caused an uproar. When the Japanese Second Division was surrounded, the Japanese government blocked the news, so that ordinary people did not know what was going on in front of them. However, with the 6th Division, the 8th Division went to the northeast. The follow-up 1st Division, 5th Division and 7th Division all began to mobilize, which undoubtedly means that the war on the front line is not going well! Otherwise, would it be necessary for the Japanese Army to make such a big move?

If all these divisions and regiments are combined, there are already eight divisions and regiments, with a total of nearly 200,000 people. After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, disarmament became the mainstream of public opinion. In particular, after Japan won the war, the ordinary people were not able to enjoy the dividends of the war, which made the people even more dissatisfied. Coupled with the huge amount of loans that had to be repaid, Japan simply did not have the financial resources to fight a large-scale war. However, now the Japanese Army has begun a large-scale mobilization again. This is undoubtedly unusual.

In Japan, it is not monolithic. The contradictions between the army and the navy, and the different interests represented by the various senators, also made many people wait for the fall of the Katsura Taro cabinet. Now that the 2nd Division has been encircled and annihilated, and the 3rd and 10th Divisions are again under siege, this undoubtedly gives them a chance.

Under the spread of well-intentioned people, the whole of Japan knew that the Japanese Army had suffered a crushing defeat in the northeast. One division was completely annihilated, two divisions were surrounded, and they were in danger. In the end, it even became an exaggerated rumor that the Japanese Army had lost 100,000 people in Tohoku and that 100,000 people were surrounded. And this also made Katsura Taro's cabinet anxious.

Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, the residence of Japan's chief minister, Katsura Taro convened a five-phase meeting in an emergency. However, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Keigo Kiyoura, also attended the meeting, and he came to understand the situation on the orders of Emperor Meiji. After winning the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan faced a crushing defeat, which made Emperor Meiji a little unbelievable. Therefore, sending the Minister of Home Affairs to the meeting of the five ministers is undoubtedly a warning to the Cabinet.

In addition to the Minister of the Interior, Keigo Kiyoura, the Chief of the Army General Staff, Senior General Okuhoko, and the Director of Education, Senior General Jiro Nishikanjiro, also attended the meeting. Of course, the two of them, together with Masashi Nachi, became unlucky people to vent their anger.

"What the hell is the Army doing? The Second Division was one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese Empire, and it was a division that made great contributions in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. Someone has to step up and take responsibility for this. Haixiang Yama Honbei roared wildly. This is a good opportunity to strike at the Army, and if it is used well, it can even make it impossible for the Army to turn over.

Although, now it is a national crisis for Japan, and if there is internal strife, it will not be of any benefit to Japan. However, the navy, represented by Yamamoto Gonbei, saw this as an opportunity to completely defeat the army. As for this defeat, the Navy does not think it is a big deal. As long as the navy grasps the power of Japan and then invests a large army to launch an attack on the northeast, it will definitely be able to easily defeat the Jilin army.

Katsura Taro's face was gloomy as water, and Masashi Rikusanji, Chief of General Staff General Okuho Gong, and Director of Education Nishikanjiro were all pale. The accusations of the Navy made them very angry. However, they had no choice, who called the army to suffer a crushing defeat this time and give the navy a great opportunity?

"Well, it's useless to continue blaming now. We should find a way to reverse the situation and rescue the besieged North Korean army. If the Korean army is also surrounded and annihilated, this will be the real shame of the Japanese Empire. Foreign Minister Komura Shoutaro stood up and said a fair word.

Indeed, the war situation in the northeast has been corrupted to such an extent, which is indeed a shame for the Japanese Army. But in the same way, the shame of the Japanese Army is also the shame of the Great Japanese Empire. If the army is completely defeated, Japan will be doomed. All the benefits that were won with great difficulty in the Russo-Japanese War will be lost. This is the deadliest blow to Japan.

"Gentlemen, what Komura-kun said is very right. Now, what we have to do is how to reverse the situation. Terauchi-kun, do you have any plans for the War Department? Katsura Taro said quickly. He is also from the Army and is the spokesman of the Army faction in the government. If the navy is allowed to attack the army, he, the prime minister, will not be happy to save face.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the War Department recommends that the 1st, 5th, and 7th Divisions speed up their mobilization and send them to the northeast as soon as possible after the mobilization is completed. In this case, our army in the northeast will still have seven divisions. If the Jilin Army wants to defeat our seven divisions in one fell swoop, it is impossible. Lu Xiangji said.

"Perhaps, by the time the 1st, 5th, and 7th Divisions arrive in the northeast, the North Korean army has been annihilated again. Not only that, but the remaining two divisions of the Kwantung Army are probably also in danger. At that time, it is almost impossible to reverse the situation with only the follow-up troops of three divisions. Haixiang Yamamoto Quan Wei pursed his lips disdainfully.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jilin Army is encircling and sending reinforcements. Or use the besieged Japanese soldiers as bait to lure more Japanese soldiers to take the bait. Previously it was the 2nd Division, and now it is the turn of the North Korean Army. The two divisions of the Kwantung Army are probably also within the plan of the Jilin Army. Once the two divisions of the North Korean Army and the remaining two divisions of the Kwantung Army are resolved, even if the next three divisions arrive, it will probably be difficult to defeat the Jilin Army.

Terauchi Masatsuki, General Okuho Gong, and General Nishikuan Jiro and others suddenly looked very bad. Of course, they had already guessed that this was a conspiracy of the Jilin Army. But is there any other way for them? You can't just watch the North Korean army fall into a siege and not rescue them, right? In this case, I am afraid that they will be directly regarded as national thieves.

When there was no way, the Japanese Army had no choice but to send troops to the Northeast on and off. If the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division can unite with the three subsequent divisions, with five divisions and more than 100,000 troops, they will definitely be able to defeat the Jilin Army.

However, the North Korean army is in danger. The Jilin Army will not let go of this opportunity to completely annihilate the Korean army. As for the Japanese Army, once the Korean Army also follows in the footsteps of the Second Division, then this will be a great disaster.

"The North Korean Army is not the Second Division, and with the strength of the Third Division and the Tenth Division, it is absolutely no problem to hold on until reinforcements arrive." Lu Xiangji Masaki insisted.

Gonbei Yamamoto smiled and didn't say anything more. The fleet of the Navy took part in the Battle of the Yalu River, as a result of which one destroyer was sunk, one destroyer was heavily damaged, and two cruisers were also damaged. The Japanese Navy is not unclear about the combat effectiveness of the Jilin Army. Although the current North Korean army has two divisions and regiments, it is obviously seriously damaged. Can the Korean army, which is no longer at full strength, withstand the siege of the Jilin Army? At least, Gonbei Yamamoto is not very optimistic.

"Let the army's horse manure hit the head and bleed, only in this way will the people know that the navy is the foundation of the Japanese Empire." Yamamoto thought secretly in his heart.

"Terauchi-kun, I don't care what method you use, you must rescue the North Korean army, and you can't let such a shame happen again." Katsura Taro said solemnly. The 2nd Division was annihilated, albeit with great impact. But with the strength of the Japanese Army, it was able to control the situation. If the North Korean army is also completely annihilated, then he may have no choice but to step down.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Terauchi Masashi nodded heavily.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we must not only rescue the North Korean army, but also defeat the Chinese people. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters hopes to be able to mobilize more troops. In this way, we can be sure of everything. Chief of Staff General Obao Gong said.

"Mobilize more troops? Where does the money come from? The funds for the mobilization of the 1st, 5th, and 7th divisions were already the funds for the navy's shipbuilding. Yamamoto said dissatisfiedly. There is no money left in the treasury, and if we continue to mobilize, won't we continue to use the Navy's shipbuilding funds? He would never agree to this.

"Zeng Youjun, has the British's loan arrived?" Katsura Taro looked at the Tibetan Prime Minister Tsang, Asasuke.

"Your Excellency, the British have promised to provide us with an emergency loan. However, at the moment the money is not in place. So, if the Army wants to continue to mobilize more troops, I'm afraid we can't do it. Tsang shook his head. If you don't have money, don't want to mobilize the army, let alone continue the war.

The war that is going on now, and the money spent every day is like running water. Originally, it was thought that five divisions would be enough to defeat the Jilin Army, but now it seems that this is simply impossible. If more and more troops are invested in the war, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the investment in the war. This is undoubtedly an aggravation of Japan's already heavily indebted finances.

"Komura-kun, find a way to urge the British to give us the loan as soon as possible. In addition, the United States, France and other countries have also contacted us, and we need their support. Katsura Taro said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Komura nodded.
