Chapter 248 The Third Guards Cabinet Mobilizes the Observation Officer Corps and Departs
In Tokyo, the Japanese army’s homeland, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Hideyoshi Kusuyama agreed unanimously to send a corps of Japanese officers from the base camp to observe their operations in Taiyuan City to mop up and suppress the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. .

But in the end, they had no intention of allowing these observing Japanese military officers to land at the Taiyuan Airport. You must know that the Taiyuan Airport at this moment was constantly covered by major newspapers, even foreign newspapers. Propaganda news that it would be bombed by Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and other Eighth Route Army troops in a sneak attack.

Therefore, in order to prevent these observing Japanese military officers from being put in danger, and from being held accountable by the base camp afterwards, and from being published in the newspapers and publicizing negative news by those major newspapers that were making a fuss,
Therefore, both of them unanimously agreed not to land at Taiyuan Airport, but to land at another secret airport, and they would also be heavily guarded to protect the appearance of the Japanese officer corps.

But after the two of them reached a unanimous decision,
Here in Tokyo, the homeland of the Japanese army,
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro also quickly received a telegram of agreement from Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

As the head of the third successful Konoe Cabinet,

He was very satisfied with his cabinet request this time and received a quick agreement from the Japanese generals on the front line.

Instead of using his words to persuade.

"Yo Xi! It seems that Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi are quite good!"

"In this case, then I will let the observing officer group set off immediately!"

"As long as we can cultivate the combat command level of this group of reserve officers, it is still necessary for us to continuously expand the army's officers' combat capabilities and improve them!"

"Otherwise, once all the veterans and officers with actual combat capabilities are used up, and there are no successors, it will be a catastrophic failure for our Imperial Army!"

"I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

"Especially now, those bastards in the political, official, and financial circles led by Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and Yamamoto 56 are all opposed to my alliance with the German army, and they all hold objections!"

"Such a result is not what I want!"

The implementation of the "Southern Advance" policy is what I want! "

After reading the reply telegrams from Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi,

Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro was also satisfied, showed a long-lost kind smile, and praised.

for him,
What we want most is to cultivate more reserve officer corps with combat command capabilities.
Because now in the Japanese cabinet, plans to implement a 'southern advance' operation have begun to emerge.

Although the entire base camp has not yet reached a unanimous conclusion,

Moreover, the Japanese navy did not cooperate with them in reaching an agreed united front ideology.

Therefore, the 'southern advance' operational plan that has just emerged,
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro must speed up efforts to cultivate the reserve officer corps in order to keep things steady.

So when he heard Neji Okamura boasting that the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the Yellow River was about to be wiped out by their Japanese army troops,
He had this idea.

And the idea became more and more firm.

So after he confirmed the consent of Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi,

Immediately facing the position of Foreign Minister Toyoda Teijiro, he immediately notified the members of the Japanese military officer corps who had been appointed to observe the Japanese military to immediately arrive at Tokyo Airport and prepare to take a transport group, escorted by a fighter group, to Taiyuan Airport.

Of course, they still need to transfer to an airport midway to reach a place as far away as Taiyuan from the mainland.

Following the order from Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro,
Foreign Minister Toyoda Sadjiro also mobilized very quickly. He notified all the members of the reserve Japanese military officer corps that Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro had internally determined and mobilized them.

So, that afternoon, all the Japanese officers who were observing the officer corps gathered at a secret military airport in Tokyo, preparing to take a Japanese transport plane to Taiyuan to observe Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio and Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi. Commanded the campaign to sweep and suppress the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi.
