Section 212 Contradictions between land and sea
"Your Highness, the war is imminent now. I have something to ask you. Except for you, the entire Central China dispatched troops cannot complete this matter. Please do not refuse." General Matsui Ishione also has his own pride. He rarely speaks so politely when talking to this guy. Although he is a prince, it is not very important among the Japanese royal family. If it is very important, he will not come to the battlefield.
"I'm really sorry, Commander, I've been a little disobedient just now. Just give orders directly if you have anything to do. I must be willing to refuse." Maybe he also realized that it was a bit too much just now. He actually scolded everyone in the Navy Command, and then he realized that General Matsui Ishione's brother was from the Navy.
"This is the thing. The relationship between our Japanese army and the Japanese navy has never been better, but now we must get their support, especially their large-caliber heavy artillery. Before, I also knew that His Highness the Prince went to the navy to negotiate for this matter, but you have seen the current situation. The Navy has withdrawn all their ships. I don't think it's better for His Highness the Prince to serve as the liaison officer of our army and the Navy. I believe that His Highness the Prince is sitting on their ships, and they dare not retreat casually." It turned out that General Matsui Ishione had this idea and sent this hot potato to the Navy.
However, in the view of Prince Hatohiko Asakamiya, this matter is very important. The Navy and the Army, just like General Matsui Ishione said, have never been in harmony. If I could change this matter, my prestige in Japan would definitely increase unprecedentedly.
The liaison officer said nicely, just the bad words that an intelligence liaison officer said, that is, you were sent out, of course. In the eyes of this prince who lacks brain cells, what he did was just like what General Matsui Ishione said, very important. He was responsible for the bridge connecting the navy and the army. In an instant, he felt that he was very important and shone brightly in an instant.
"Please rest assured, Commander, that I will definitely be able to complete this task well. I will pack up my things immediately and go to the Navy Command this afternoon." This guy didn't know what was being loaded in his mind. If someone else said that, he would definitely be able to tell what General Matsui Ishione meant, but this guy didn't hear anything, just wanted to do things for others quickly.
Since this guy arrived at the front line, he has really not done anything that can be done. Domestic newspapers are also staring at His Royal Highness. If he still has no outstanding performance, it means that this guy has no future in the future.
Since this guy arrived at the Central China Expeditionary Army, General Matsui Ishione has been disgusted with this guy. Come here, and he brings such a large pile of buckets of water. The supplies given to you every month are astronomical. Besides, I am here to fight, not to let you come for vacation, so why do you bring so many people? Another reason is that General Matsui Ishione has a gentle policy towards some civilians, but Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya is very cruel. He can do anything, and it is precisely because of this that the two of them can't chat together.
However, General Matsui Ishione is a cunning man after all. He knew very well what Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya thought. As long as he was asked to do something that others could not do, he would feel that he was of great importance. Even if he fought his life, he would have done this. For example, in today's case, all the Central China Expeditionary Army had no way to negotiate with the Navy, only he could go there. In fact, he was also an army, and the Navy did not miss him much, but he still had the identity of a prince, which was different.
At this stage, the Japanese royal family can be said to have a high prestige among the people, which is completely different from modern society. Modern society is just a symbol, but in this era they are still very powerful. They are not only spread throughout all levels of the Japanese government, but also in all parts of the army.
The Japanese Navy can be said to be very arrogant among the Japanese army, so they will only buy it if the royal family members are allowed to take action. If an ordinary army officer goes there, he will not miss you. Generally speaking, the Japanese lieutenant general and the Japanese Navy's major general are equal.
Because of this reason, the Army and the Navy have had many times quarreling with each other and have also come to the base camp, but this is how the Navy treats you. If there is anything, if you have a lieutenant general, we will send a major general to receive it.
If you don't want to, you can go back. Anyway, there are fewer places for the Navy to seek the Army, and there are more places for the Army to seek the Navy. For example, today, the Navy must send heavy artillery, and it cannot be the two destroyers before, at least one heavy cruiser must be needed.
Because of this problem, General Matsui Ishione also reported to the domestic base camp that the base camp issued a direct order, asking the navy to cooperate with the army, but it is one thing for you to issue orders. It is my business for me to execute it. There are also many capable people in the navy. As long as I drive a heavy cruiser and walk two laps at the Yangtze River estuary, I can only support the army. As for where the shell lands, I can't control it.
The Central China Expeditionary Army also sent several liaison officers, all of whom were at the level of major generals. They had a lieutenant general in charge of the Navy and would not care about what official position you are. Anyway, I would do whatever I wanted.
Another main reason is that when the Battle of Songhu started, the Marine Corps fought against the Chinese army. Who knew that after the Army arrived, they directly began to exclude the Marine Corps and let the Marine Corps go aside. They were basically gone on the main battlefield. It turned out that their contributions were also snatched by the Army.
When the attack was just beginning, the Marines fought very hard. The Central Army of tens of thousands of troops attacked the Marines with only more than 3,000 people, and they also saved the entire concession, which was quite good.
Unfortunately, the Army did not take this credit into consideration, but instead mocked them for planting the root of disaster for future events. ####### The third update is here, please ask for all kinds of support.
