Wang Xuexin's guess was correct, so Hans sent Major Kono Shinta, an adviser to the Japanese, who was both a military expert and a military industry expert... Hans had many talents like this, such as the officer who was assassinated, who was a track and field decathlete.
He is also proficient in music, skiing, sailing, riding, etc. He is both a sharpshooter and a sharp swordsman, and even personally pilots a fighter plane into the air for combat.
The reason why Shinta Kono has a Japanese name is because he is originally of Japanese descent.
This is one of the main reasons why he was sent to China as a consultant by Hans... Kono Shinta is proficient in Japanese and has no obstacles in communication.
Shinta Kono does not have many skills. He is purely interested in the military. In addition, he has been an apprentice in a machinery manufacturing factory since he was a teenager and is quite talented in the production of equipment and innovation.
If Hans just wanted to help the Japanese defeat the Eighth Route Army, then just sending a military expert would be enough.
Now they have sent Shinta Kono, who is both a military expert and a military industry expert. Needless to say what the purpose is.
In fact, Kono Shinta spent the whole time on the submarine looking through the intelligence and photos sent by the Japanese to Hans...
The areas controlled by Hans and the Japs are not connected. The north is blocked by the Bear, and the south is the Indian Ocean. There are colonies of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and airplanes, ships, etc. cannot cross it at all.
Therefore, Hans's exchanges and contacts with the Japanese could only be carried out by submarines across the Indian Ocean. Even the "Tiger" tanks that Hans later sold to the Japanese were dismantled and transported to the Japanese by submarine.
This is one of the reasons why Hans always hoped that the Japanese could attack the bear with him from both sides.
Once Hans and the Japs eliminate the Mao Xiong or successfully meet in the Mao Xiong realm, they will be able to seamlessly communicate with each other. Especially the Japs' experience in using the navy and carrier-based aircraft really makes Hans very envious.
Helpless as the Japanese failed to live up to their expectations, Nomenhan was beaten to the point of losing his temper by the bear in the first battle. After that, he no longer dared to use force on the bear, even though the bear had been beaten to a terrible state by Hans on the Western Front.
As soon as Kono Shinta arrived in China, he was warmly received by Okamura Neiji. It should be said that it was the highest level of reception, just like receiving a visiting head of state from another country.
A few days before arriving, the encirclement and suppression guerrillas went into action to search for intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army... This was mainly because they were worried that Shinta Kono would be assassinated by the Chinese side after the intelligence was leaked.
Of course, the intelligence was at the highest level of confidentiality, so for a long time there was no news at all between the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army. The intelligence unit of the stubborn army thought that some important officials from the Japanese country were coming to inspect.
Then when the plane came, ten Zero Fighter escorts were dispatched. The entire airport was blocked. As soon as the plane landed, Shinta Kono was immediately picked up into an armored vehicle. A whole group of mechanized troops cleared the way, and there were puppet troops along the way to maintain order.
Kono Shinta was sent directly to Okamura Neji's headquarters.
Because Okamura Neiji believes that if the place in Taiyuan can be truly called safe, it is only his headquarters.
Moreover, Okamura Neji personally led people to greet him in front of the headquarters gate.
He also found out that Hans liked to use military music when expressing his welcome, so he temporarily asked the military band to learn a few Hans's songs and play them.
The face of the Asian who got off the car surprised Neji Okamura... Because it was a military secret, Hans did not explain in advance that the person who was sent was a Japanese.
Shinta Kono was quite sensible. When he saw Neji Okamura, he hurried forward to salute and said in pure Japanese: "Your Excellency is General Okamura Neji. I have long admired your name! I am Shinta Kono, your military adviser!"
Neji Okamura was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately put on a smile and said very happily: "Unexpectedly, Muraoka-kun is still one of our own! This makes me feel more at ease!"
In fact, Okamura Neji was a little disappointed.
Because at this time, the whole country of the Japanese was under the thought of "leaving Asia and joining Europe"... In Chinese terms, it was actually "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners".
(Note: Leaving Asia and joining Europe was proposed by the famous Enlightenment thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi during the Meiji Restoration period. He advocated that the Japanese must aim at Europe and use Europe as the criterion)
This is actually quite normal.
Because at that time, Europe was the most advanced and developed region in the world, with the Empire on which the sun never sets, Hans, Gaul, etc.
The Japanese believe that there is a reason why they are so advanced and developed. If they want the Japanese to be advanced, developed, and even civilized, then they must learn everything from Europe, even their living habits.
In this atmosphere, Okamura Neji would rather see a Hans consultant than Kono Shinta.
Because Okamura Neiji believed that a consultant Hans would definitely be better than Shinta Kono, he even wondered if Hans sent a consultant like Shinta Kono because he looked down on the Japanese.
Kono Shinta seemed to feel Okamura Neji's disappointment, but he didn't care.
Kono Shinta is a Japanese-American. Although he grew up in Hans, he is somewhat aware of the blind worship that some Japanese have when they decide to learn from a certain country.
Kono Shinta thought that this might be beneficial to him, because this way, Okamura Neji would not easily discover another mission of his trip.
The two men, who had their own hidden agendas, sat at the wine table wearing hypocritical masks.
In order to welcome this Hans advisor, Okamura Neiji specially set up a European-style dining table and scenery next to the headquarters. At this time, he simply took Kono Shinta to the officers' dining area and sat down with his legs on the tatami.
Food and wine were served on the small table, and I clapped my hands to summon the dancer to dance, and then drank.
Shinta Kono didn't seem to be used to this scene, especially when she was sitting on the floor with her legs kneeling on her knees. After a while, she became unbearably sore and numb.
But in front of a general like Okamura Neji, Kono Shinta believed that he should still exercise restraint.
Therefore, Shinta Kono just frowned and suppressed his anger.
After drinking a few drinks, Shinta Kono turned his attention to the military.
Because Kono Shinta believes that he should show his skills to Okamura Neji, otherwise if this continues, he, as a consultant, may be left alone with no access to anything and no influence.
"Your Excellency, General!" Kono Shinta respectfully toasted Okamura Neiji and then said: "I heard that Hawk-chan often uses a one-for-one approach on the Pacific battlefield, that is, the fighter planes form in front and rear.
If a fighter plane is rear-ended by our fighter plane, it will inevitably be rear-ended by another of its fighters..."
Okamura Neji nodded absently. This was something everyone knew. He didn't know why Shinta Kono mentioned this.
Shinta Kono continued: "If the x1 used by the Eighth Route Army makes it difficult for our army to fight against it, then I am surprised, why does our army not use this tactic?"
