The clock in He Rui's office was ticking. For nearly a minute, no one spoke in the room. This was a situation that He Rui's current secretary had never seen before. In the past few years, this kind of thing only happened during fierce confrontations.

When He Rui talked with his comrades, what he pursued was to solve the problem as soon as possible. The secretary unconsciously felt uneasy.

Then He Rui spoke. Just because He Rui broke the silence, the secretary felt a lot more settled.

"Comrade Youping. My personal guess is that you want to promote compulsory adult re-education under the highly controlled model of general mobilization to promote work including pensions, national consciousness cultivation, modern social understanding, etc. And use a relatively warm educational environment,

Try to reduce the cold feeling that war gives to the people."

When Wu Youping heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. After He Rui finished speaking, Wu Youping took the initiative to explain: "Chairman, I know the conflict between the war and this model, but this war is led by the Chairman, Comrade

Only then did we think there was a possibility of discussion.”

"I am grateful to my comrades for their trust in me." He Rui spoke with a heavy heart. The general mobilization system puts great pressure on the government and the people, so the general mobilization is also divided into many levels. Now the Northeast government is adopting almost the most severe one.

Level 1: maintain high-intensity and high-intensity wars by maximizing the exploitation of industry, agriculture, and manpower.

No one with a conscience would be happy to see such a situation. Not to mention young people like Wu Youping who devoted themselves to saving the country. It is only natural that they come up with various conciliatory ideas. Saving China is to allow the people to live a dignified and stable life.

, rather than retreating the people into a situation of more cruel oppression.

He Rui continued seriously: "If the war develops exactly as I expected and ends in one year, I will agree to consider discussing this aspect. However, Comrade Youping, I cannot make such a guarantee. I think the war is completely possible.

It may last 3 years. The Japanese side is very clear that this is not about the outcome of the war itself, but the national destiny of the country. Japan must not accept that they lose their future. For the future of Japan, Japan will do everything it can. Considering this reality

Go ahead, I believe you can understand why such a plan cannot be discussed. Because those things you want to include in compulsory adult education already have solutions."

Wu Youping felt a little regretful, but did not object to He Rui's point of view, "Since the chairman believes that the war may enter its third year, we will implement general mobilization as planned."

He Rui didn't say anything. The plan had been completed a long time ago. All that was needed now was for the leader to sign the order. He Rui returned to the table. Even the simple act of picking up a pen seemed to consume his mental energy quickly. He simply sat down on the chair and took a deep breath.

After adjusting his mentality twice, He Rui picked up the pen again and wrote on the official paper, "Order of the President of the Northeast Government" on the document header.

The level of general mobilization is proposed by the General Staff. The military cannot order the government, nor can it issue documents directly to the government. After discussion by the Military Commission, the content proposed by the General Staff is conveyed to the government chief in the form of an order from the Chairman of the Northeast Government. Now the members of the Military Commission are everywhere, receiving

After receiving the telegram from the General Headquarters, members of the Military Commission all sent telegrams agreeing to implement the highest level of general mobilization.

He Rui was not afraid, but something seemed to be boiling in his chest. He Rui closed his eyes and let his emotions roll. He had spent several years just for this moment. He Rui thought he was looking forward to it, but now he finally arrived.

He Ruicai found that he also felt heavy pressure. He Rui had already considered the possibility that the Great Kanto Earthquake might not happen and did not consider this factor when formulating the battle plan. If he wanted to rely on the strength of Northeast China to drain Japan, within two years

The basic goal can be achieved. However, Japan will be exhausted until the third year.

There are various possibilities in this... He Rui opened his eyes and wrote the order, "From 24:00 on the evening of November 10, 1922, the Northeast Government began to implement Class A general mobilization. Chairman of the Northeast Government, He Rui. 1922

November 8th, 16:00.”

See He Rui sign and seal after he finished writing. The secretary quickly took the official document and wrote the document number and notification level according to the current official document number.

Class A general mobilization may or may not be a confidential file. The war has progressed to this point, and there is no need to keep it secret. Class A general mobilization orders are issued as ordinary-level documents.

He Rui did not speak, but stood up and walked to the window to look out the window. Wu Youping stood up silently, walked to He Rui, handed He Rui a cigarette, and lit one himself. Wu Youping had just smoked 1

Then I heard He Rui say: "Get angry."

Wu Youping handed the cigarette to He Rui, and when He Rui got angry, Wu Youping took his cigarette and said with a wry smile: "Haha, Chairman, it's finally started. I often have an idea during this period. If the Chairman could arrive two years earlier,

If you’re in the Northeast…”

He Rui could completely understand Wu Youping's mood when he said this. In order to extinguish the luck in his heart, He Rui took two puffs of cigarette and tried his best to say in a determined tone: "As long as we really start to save China, it is never too late."

Wu Youping was about to answer when he heard the secretary say from behind the two of them: "Chairman, please sign."

He Rui threw the half-finished cigarette butt out of the window and sat back down. The original document had to be archived, and the secretary had to complete the copy. All the contents were written, and He Rui only needed to sign.

After carefully reading this document, which was related to the lives of 40 million people in the next three years, He Rui signed his name. Then he stood up and handed the document to Wu Youping with both hands. Wu Youping read it silently.

After putting the documents away, he wanted to leave. He took a few steps and stopped again. When Wu Youping turned around, he saw that He Rui had already walked in front of him and stretched out his hand.

The two people's palms were tightly clasped together. He Rui had regained his composure. Facing the somewhat uneasy Wu Youping, He Rui encouraged: "Comrade Youping, we will definitely win!"

Wu Youping shook He Rui's hand vigorously, turned around and strode away. Within two hours, even the municipal government on the border of Outer Mongolia, the farthest place from Shenyang, received a Class A general mobilization order. The party, government and military in each city immediately

A meeting was held overnight to announce the Class A general mobilization order.

It was already very cold in Northeast China and Inner and Outer Mongolia in early November. For security reasons, the party, government and military did not send communications personnel overnight to convey news to lower-level departments. Telegraph notifications were only made to areas where telegraphs were available.

In the early morning of November 9th, cars, bicycles, and horses from the communications department were dispatched one after another to convey the news of the meeting. After layers of meeting notifications, finally before 24:00 on the evening of November 10th, except for a few people due to some reasons

Except for remote areas that are inaccessible, all village and town first-level units of the entire Northeastern government have received Class A general mobilization orders.

At noon on November 11, Tokyo, Japan also announced the list of new cabinet prime ministers. Keigo Kiyoura, who is of Chinese origin, became the new prime minister. Keigo Kiyoura retained the cabinet members of Tomozo Kato to stay in office, Foreign Minister Uchida Yasuya and Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi.

They all accepted the invitation to stay, but the Minister of the Army, Tanaka Yoshiki, refused to stay.

Prime Minister Kiyoura Keigo immediately invited Army General Yamanashi Hanzo to be the Minister of the Army, and Navy Admiral Hiro Moto to be the Minister of the Navy. Both of them agreed to join the cabinet. Kiyoura Keigo's cabinet was completed in a very short period of time, although many people were skeptical about these candidates.

We were not satisfied, especially with the war cabinet. But no one immediately jumped out to point fingers.

Japan's cabinet changes very quickly, and it is not uncommon for the cabinet to collapse during wartime. Having a cabinet in charge is already much better than being leaderless without a cabinet.

Before General Yamanashi Hanzo arrived at the Sixth Military Province, General Tanaka Yoshihiro invited the Chief of Staff Headquarters Suzuki Shoroku, as well as the officially appointed Commander of the Manchuria and Mongolia Expeditionary Forces Terauchi Hisaichi and Chief of Staff Nagata Teeshan to the Sixth Military Province conference room.

As the former Minister of the Army, Tanaka Yoshihiro did not hold a meeting in the Office of the Minister of the Army. Without any politeness, the somewhat haggard Tanaka Yoshihiro said frankly: "You may receive the news that I will be incorporated into the army within a few days."

News about the reserve forces. As Minister of the Army, I have long known that I have to take responsibility. The only regret is that I cannot see the day of the empire's victory as an active soldier. The responsibility for defeating the enemy and crushing the Ho Rui regime rests with you.

You bear it."

None of the three active generals spoke, only bowed and saluted. Tanaka Yoshi 1 looked at Terauchi Hisashi 1 and Nagata Tetsuzan, "In recent days, the General Staff Headquarters has submitted a proposal to establish the 2nd Dispatch Force Commander together with the Navy Commander 1

The Ministry’s proposal. According to the news, it has been approved by the Royal Commission and should be sent to the Military Ministry and the Navy Ministry soon.”

Hearing this news, both Terauchi Juichi and Nagata Tetsuzan breathed a sigh of relief. The current military minister Yamanashi Hanzo has a good reputation and is a man who dares to do things. The navy minister Finance Tiao has some criticisms.

However, what Nagata Tetsuzan cares about is not the fact that Finance Ministry Tiao became the navy veteran Yamamoto Gonbei. Although this incident caused a lot of criticism to Finance Ministry Tiao, he was even called "Finance Ministry" for decades.

Prince's nickname.

Say app——-p

What Nagata Tieshan cares about is that General Piao of the Ministry of Finance is also a person who has the courage to do his job. The most important thing is that General Piao of the Ministry of Finance should not be responsible for the Manchurian and Mongolian 2nd Expedition Army Headquarters's landing on the 6th operation. For Nagata Tieshan,

Say, this is enough.

After handing over the final work, Tanaka Giichi stood up and left. Everyone did not see each other off, but waited for the arrival of the trusted military minister Yamanashi Hanzo. Everyone quickly got the news. Prime Minister Kiyoura Keigo held an imperial meeting in the palace, and Yamanashi Hanzo

Arrival only in the afternoon.

Everyone was also hungry and ordered the orderly to bring lunch. After eating a piece of pickles, Terauchi Touichi asked: "Nagata-kun, I have heard something about Major General Ishihara. I haven't heard much about Major General Okamura. I only know about him."

He is an excellent soldier. What do Nagata-kun think of these two?"

Nagata Tieshan was stunned. Although Nagata had brought back the report on the meritorious officers on the front line when he came back this time, Nagata had been busy and had no time to inquire about the 6th Military Ministry's discussion on the promotion of meritorious officers. At this time,

I learned that Okamura Neji and Ishihara Kanji have been promoted to major generals.

This is good news for Nagata. Both Okamura Neji and Ishihara Kanji are talented generals, and they can truly display their abilities in the position of major general. Since the commander of the Manchurian and Mongolian dispatched troops, Terauchi Juichi, asked about them,

Nagata put down his chopsticks and sat up straight, "Your Excellency, Commander, Okamura-kun is excellent in strategy and tactics. He is especially good at personnel organization. The Seoul garrison comes from more than ten troops and dozens of departments. Okamura-kun will defeat him in two days."

It is organized into an army and deployed according to its characteristics so that each of its strengths can be brought into play. Its staff work is amazing."

Lieutenant General Touichi Terauchi has carefully studied the battle report in the past few days, and what Nagata said is reflected in the battle report. After such an succinct summary, Terauchi felt a little happy in his heart. The Manchuria-Mongolia Expeditionary Force Headquarters is a temporary combat unit. As the commander

What the officer Touichi Terauchi really has to manage is the headquarters and staff. Having a top talent like Okamura who is proficient in staff work is good news for any commander.

Nagata continued to introduce: "As for Ishihara-kun, most of the military have heard of Ishihara-kun's strategic achievements. In this Korean battle, Nagata-kun personally went to Pyongyang to command the defense and retreat when the army was defeated. With thousands of troops

He resisted tens of thousands of enemy troops, held on for 48 hours, and organized a major retreat from northern Korea. He was both wise and courageous."

After hearing this, the temple was a little confused. The veteran generals in the army had never had much contact with a young major like Ishihara Wanji, and the reputation of his thorny head had no influence at all among the upper echelons. After the Battle of Seoul, Ishihara Wanji

The image in the eyes of veterans in the military is "personality", "frank and cute". According to rumors, Lieutenant General Terauchi thought Ishihara Kanji was a more suitable candidate for the staff than Okamura Neji. According to Nagata, Ishihara Kanji

It seems to be more suitable for frontline commanders, which makes Temple feel a little puzzled.

"Nagata-kun, I read the battle report. Ishihara-kun's staff work is very exciting. Does Nagata-kun think that Ishihara-kun is not as good as Okamura-kun in this regard?"

Nagata Tetsuzan felt that the temple had misunderstood what he meant, and explained: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ishihara-kun's staff work is very good. But Ishihara-kun's talent is his quick wit. In an emergency, he should be the first choice to check the fighter planes."

.Analyze the enemy's strategic intentions and take a long-term approach. Ishihara-kun's judgment must not be underestimated."

Lieutenant General Terauchi was thinking about Nagata's introduction. Chief of Staff Suzuki Shoroku had already said with a smile: "Nagata-kun is good at overall guidance and has the style of a leader. Okamura-kun and Ishihara-kun can take long-term planning, daily operations, and adapt to changes. Dispatch

There are no shortcomings in the staff of the army headquarters. Moreover, the three major generals are all good at first-line command. Terauchi-kun, all the young generals of the empire's elite are under your command."

After hearing what the chief of staff said, Terauchi could only bow slightly, but he did not feel relieved. However, it would be rude to continue talking about this issue. Terauchi invited Nagata to continue eating and proposed another one.

A question, "Until now, I don't know how much budget the Finance Minister can pass."

Chief of Staff Suzuki Shoroku said frankly: "The plan to organize the 1.5 million Imperial Army has been submitted. Including the logistics auxiliary troops, the total number is 2.2 million. Although the Finance Minister will definitely make a request for reduction, the Army

We will never accept it. If we reduce it further, we may not have the strength to defeat the enemy."

Lieutenant General Terauchi nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but speak ill of the Navy, "The Navy is currently taking most of the military expenditures. It would be great if the Navy could give up some of the military expenditures."

However, after saying this, the temple himself did not believe it. Moreover, the temple was not very satisfied with the current Navy Minister Finance Ministry Biao. He always felt that Finance Ministry Biao was not a person who supported the mainland policy.
