Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 414 Conspiracy and Support

"Commander, we can't let the Chief of Staff of the 16th Division, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, come back safely. It would be very troublesome if he makes up stories at the headquarters to avoid punishment." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto was a little anxious, and quickly asked Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura to stop this from happening.

"Mr. Yoshimoto, if the Chief of Staff of the 16th Division, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, surrendered, the headquarters would certainly pay close attention to this matter. They would strictly investigate the telegram exchanges between the 16th Division and us. When the headquarters sees the content of this telegram from Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, they would mobilize all their forces to exchange back the Chief of Staff of the 16th Division, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa. This is why Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie sent us a telegram. He has already calculated every step of the plan." Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura calmed the emotions of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto.

This... Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto also calmed down after hearing the explanation of Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura. Yes, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie has already calculated every step forward, and this matter is really difficult to handle at the moment.

What should I do? No, the commander must have thought of a countermeasure. Since the commander has seen through Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke's intentions, he must have also prepared a countermeasure. After all, the commander does not want to see the chief of staff, Major General Nakazawa Misao, talking nonsense at the headquarters.

"Commander, do you have any decision? I will definitely carry out your orders." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto also stood up respectfully and bowed to express his attitude. He understood that he had to state his position and attitude before the commander would explain to him how to deal with the situation.

Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura squinted his eyes and looked at the Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto who bowed respectfully. He was also thinking in his mind. After all, the solution he thought of was very risky, and he had to make sure of the attitude and determination of the Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto.

"Mr. Yoshimoto, you are the person I trust the most. There is no need for us to be so formal. I have indeed thought of a solution, but this solution is very risky. Once it is implemented, there is no turning back. Have you thought it through?" Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura also seriously reiterated the risks of this solution to Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto.

After hearing what the commander, Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji, said, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi bowed again and said, "Please give me your orders, Commander. I will follow your orders no matter how risky it is."

This time, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi bent his waist even lower. Although he kept a calm face, he was already extremely surprised in his heart. The commander-in-chief was so cautious and confirmed his attitude again and again. It seemed that this solution must be very shocking. However, he had no way out and could only follow the commander all the way to the end.

"Hey, Mr. Yoshimoto, please sit down. I've said that you are the person I trust the most. Don't be so polite." Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura was very satisfied with the attitude of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto. He also confirmed the determination of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto to follow him, which was very critical to the implementation of the subsequent plan.

After seeing the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi sitting on the sofa, Commander Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji continued to speak: "Mr. Yoshimoto, there are actually ways to solve this problem. You must think that every step that Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke has calculated is basically difficult to find loopholes. However, there is a key point in this matter that you did not notice, and that is Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo, the Chief of Staff of the 16th Division. He is the core of this matter."

Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto slowly adjusted his mood and thoughts following the analysis of Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura. He was thinking about what Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura said in his heart. Indeed, Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa was the key point of the whole incident.

"Commander, do you mean to let the Chief of Staff, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, disappear unexpectedly? But we don't have a good opportunity." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto also understood the meaning of Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura and asked the key point. It seems that there is no chance to do this at the moment.

In the view of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto, Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa would be protected and taken away by the Chinese army after surrendering. Even if the Imperial Headquarters later arranged to exchange Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, he would definitely return to the mainland immediately under the full protection of the personnel sent by the Imperial Headquarters, and there would be no chance for him to take action at all.

"Mr. Yoshimoto, this is Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie's seemingly very tight layout, but there is actually a loophole. That is, before the Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuyo Nakazawa surrenders, how can the dead Major General Mitsuyo Nakazawa surrender?" Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura also guided the thinking of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto step by step.

How could the dead Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo surrender? However, the Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo surrendered to the Chinese army, and those over there were also personnel from the 16th Division. Even if the commander Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji had arranged an insider over there, he did not send a notice to them, and the radio station must have been under strict surveillance.

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi, the chief of staff, thought for a long time, but could not think of how to kill the 16th Division Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo before he surrendered. He could only ask the commander Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji with some embarrassment: "Commander, please forgive my clumsiness. I really can't think of any reasonable reason to let the 16th Division Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo die normally."

"Mr. Yoshimoto, you see, the 16th Division has been compressed into a very small area by the Chinese army. Don't you think that we should make a final effort to provide some support to the officers and soldiers of the 16th Division to help them break out of the encirclement of the Chinese army?" Commander Lieutenant General Yasuji Okamura suddenly talked about providing support to the 16th Division to help them break out.

This sudden change almost killed the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi's head. How come he suddenly started talking about providing support to the 16th Division? What is the commander talking about?

Besides, even if we give support to the 16th Division, with the limited forces they have left, there is no chance of successfully breaking through.
