The chief of staff, General Okuhoko, called for the mobilization of the five divisions again, but was opposed by Tibetan Prime Minister Soyou Arasuke, Kai Minister Gonbei Yamamoto, and Foreign Minister Komura Shotaro. After all, the army has repeatedly increased the size of its mobilization to three times more than it had been required at the beginning of the war.

At the beginning of the war, the army had sworn that only the second division and two divisions of the Korean army would be able to solve the Jilin army, and for the sake of insurance, the sixth and eighth divisions were mobilized as reserves. The result? Not only were the 2nd Division and the two divisions of the Korean Army completely annihilated, but even the 6th and 8th Divisions with the reserves, which were in reserve, were in a precarious situation.

Under such circumstances, the army still wants to carry out the third batch of mobilization, and mobilize five more divisions and regiments to participate in the war, but there is no need to think about it.

General Obaogong's face turned pale, and he sat there without saying a word. In his view, the General Staff Headquarters wanted to mobilize more troops in order to win the war and defend the interests of the Great Japanese Empire. But those guys, for their own interests, obstructed in every way.

"In addition, I also need to remind the army that the scale of the war is much larger than previously anticipated. Therefore, we will only be able to hold out until the end of this month at most. If the war does not end before the end of this month, there will not be a single bullet left on the front line. Tibetan Prime Minister Zeng Asasuke said. Japan's finances were already on the verge of collapse, and this sudden war made Japan's finances even worse. To be able to continue to maintain it, it is already blessed by Amaterasu.

"What? Can only hold on until the end of the month? Do you want the warriors of the front line to fight the people with bayonets? In times of imperial crisis, can't those merchants make less money? Are they still Japanese? The director of education, General Nishikanjiro, said angrily.

Zeng Asasuke glanced at General Nishikanjiro. Didn't say much. However, if we don't get more war money, this battle will obviously not be able to be fought.

Katsura Taro also seemed to have a headache, and borrowed money from the Great Powers, except that the British gave two million pounds like a flower child. The rest of the countries refused to lend to Japan again, which is simply to push Japan into a dead end!

"What about the government bonds we issue overseas?" Katsura Taro asked. In the absence of access to loans, the issuance of government bonds is also a viable route. It's just that people have to be willing to buy the treasury bonds that are issued. During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan had already issued enough government bonds. Now, it's time for them to repay these national debts.

"Prime Minister, because of the unfavorable war, the face value of our government bonds has been falling, and many businessmen are selling government bonds. Not to mention the issuance of new treasury bonds. Tsang shook his head.

"In other words, we have no other way but to use the troops mobilized now and win before the end of the month." Katsura Taro said a little speechlessly, he knew that this would undoubtedly pose a big problem for the army.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if the Army is unable to win, let's use diplomacy to resolve this war. lest you sink deeper and deeper. Komura Shoutaro suggested.

"No, we can't just end the war. What you can't get on the battlefield. Don't think about it at the negotiating table. If we can't defeat the Jilin Army, then all the losses we have paid before will be in vain. Lu Xiangji shook his head.

"Then, the army should make good use of the last twenty days." Komura Shoutaro said coldly.

He had already scolded in his heart: "These stupid guys in the army, they messed everything up, and they still want to survive to the end, they simply want the entire Japanese Empire to bury them." ”

"Your Excellency Lu Xiang. In this battle, the army has successively invested 10 divisions and regiments, with more than 200,000 troops. If we still can't defeat the Jilin Army, then we will have to stop the war operations. Katsura Taro said. In a situation of financial collapse. He also had no way to force the army to continue mobilizing. After all, this time in the war, the army performed too badly.

"Hi, Prime Minister." Terauchi Masaki nodded, he also knew that Katsura Taro had done his best. But the situation in the country is too bad, and the constraints in the cabinet are too great.

"Well, that's all for today's meeting. The meeting was adjourned. Katsura Taro said with a blank face.

After getting up and saluting Katsura Taro, the group left the Prime Minister's residence.

The content of the five-phase meeting quickly spread. Although, for the Japanese people at the bottom, the five-phase meeting and the like are too far away. But for Japan's top brass, all this is no longer a secret.

The news that Marshal Oyama Iwa will be appointed commander of the Manchurian Dispatch Army has aroused heated discussions. It is widely believed that Marshal Oyama Iwa will once again lead Japan to victory, just like the Russo-Japanese War.

Born in 1842 as a samurai of the Satsuma Domain, Oyama Iwa was born in Kajiya Town, Kagoshima Castle, Satsuma Domain, and his father, Tsunamasa Oyama, was a Satsuma Domain. In the Boshin War, he led a new gun team to participate in the Battle of Toba Fushimi and in Aizu and other places, and the 120 mm mortar and four-kilogram (Japanese-made) mountain guns he designed during the Battle of the Shogunate were light and flexible, and their firepower was fierce. From 1870 to 1874, he went to Geneva, Europe to study military affairs. Visit the Franco-Prussian War, and after returning home, devote himself to the modernization of the army. In 1877, he participated in the Southwest War as the commander of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the Einsatzgruppen. Suppressed the samurai families that rebelled one after another.

In 1878, he was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff. In 1880 he was appointed Secretary of the Army. In 1882, he was appointed Chief of the Senate and General Staff. In 1885, he became the first land minister of the Japanese Empire. In 1891 he was promoted to army general. He strongly advocated changing the direction of study from the French Army to the Prussian Army, and for this reason, a group of army generals who insisted on studying France, such as Tani Kanjo, Soga Yujo, Torio Koyata, and Miura Wulou, were purged from the army and the unity of the army was maintained. In 1894, as the Minister of War, he actively participated in the planning and launching of the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, and after the outbreak of the war, he served as the commander of the Second Army, commanding the capture of Jinzhou, Lushun and the siege of Weihaiwei in China, and was the primary culprit of the Lushun Massacre; In April 1895, together with the Japanese Combined Fleet, he participated in and accepted the surrender ceremony of the Beiyang Fleet. In 1898, he was listed in the Marshal's Office and became one of the first Japanese marshals. In 1899 he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army. He played a role in the decision-making of Katsura Taro and Kodama Gentaro respectively, and the appointment of Tamura Sakazuzo as deputy chief of staff. After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army, relying on the sharp and unpredictable attack route, the relaxed and relaxed battlefield control rhythm, and commanded the Japanese army to defeat the superior Russian army in the Battle of Liaoyang, the Battle of Shahe, the Siege of Lushun and the Battle of Mukden, laying the foundation for the final victory of the war. Together with Heihachiro Togo, who was born in the same domain, he is called "the mountain of the land and the Togo of the sea".

In the mansion of the Japanese veteran Yama Prefecture Aritomo, two gray-haired old men are sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, these two old men are the representatives of the Japanese Army, the elder Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Oyama Rock.

"Shan County-kun, I didn't expect that after the Russo-Japanese War, I would have a day to go on the expedition. Originally, I thought that there would never be such an opportunity again. Dashanyan sighed with emotion. In the Russo-Japanese War, he made great achievements, and for him personally, this is undoubtedly the peak of his prestige. It's just that he didn't expect that only a year later, he would go on another expedition again.

"Dashan-kun, after winning this battle, your position as the patriarch will be secure. This time, no one will be able to stop you anymore. Shan County Youpeng said. If Oyama Iwa also becomes a marshal, then the Japanese Army will once again have two veterans, which will play a great role in increasing the influence of the Japanese Army.

Dashan Yan shook his head, although he really wanted to be appointed as a patriarch, but he knew that this battle was very dangerous. If he doesn't do it, the prestige he has accumulated will be wasted. At that time, it will be almost enough to be able to maintain the current position, where do you still want to be a veteran?

"Yamasan-kun, I'm afraid that after this war, Oyama Iwa will become a sinner of the Japanese Empire!" Dashan Yan sighed.

Shan Shan Youpeng frowned: "Dashan-kun, has this battle reached such a dangerous point?" The army of a local warlord in China will be so powerful? ”

"Shanxian Jun, according to the information I have learned, the combat effectiveness of the Jilin Army is extremely strong. More importantly, we have lost the first step, and the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is very difficult to reverse the situation. Dashan Yan's face was full of bitterness.

"Dashan-kun, the revitalization of the imperial kingdom is on your shoulders, and you must win this battle." Shan County Youpeng said solemnly.

"Shan Shanxi-kun, I can only do my best to win. If I can't win, I'll try to keep the Japanese Army strong. Dashan Yan said. This is already the biggest guarantee he can give to Youpeng in Shanxian County.

Shan County Youpeng nodded, he knew that the current situation, even if the God of War was reborn, would be difficult to change. Letting Dashanyan lead the army is also something that makes it very difficult for him.

"Dashan-kun, just do your best." Shan County Youpeng sighed. Shan County Youpeng finally compromised.

"Yamasan-kun, my plan is like this......" Dashan Yan began to tell Yama Prefecture Youpeng about his plan. After hearing this, Shan County Youpeng nodded again and again, and the solemn expression on his original face also dissipated a lot. (To be continued......)
