It is generally believed in the Japanese military that Ishihara has excellent strategic ideas after her baby face. Therefore, everyone believes that Ishihara should have his own judgment on the situation and how to deal with the current crisis in Japan.

In a tormenting situation, the generals and schoolmen who participated in the meeting of the General Staff Headquarters looked uneasy due to the torture suffered in their hearts. The current Japanese General Staff Headquarters Minister, Lieutenant General Mirai Kinya, saw Ishihara's face was full of a humble and calm expression. Lieutenant General Mirai Kinya felt that this humility seemed to be ridiculous.

Restrained to suppress his displeasure, Lieutenant General Mian Kaneya asked: "Ishihara, the British military delegation will soon come to the General Staff Headquarters to attend the meeting. The British military delegation specially invited you, Nagata and Okamura to attend the meeting. I look forward to the three of you talking freely to the British military delegation."

Chief General of the General Staff, Nakamoto Kinya, thought Ishihara would express some objection after hearing this, or show the rebelliousness that is unique to the thorns. Unexpectedly, Ishihara Kanji bowed respectfully after listening to it, "Yes."

An uneasy feeling filled the heart in the Jin Valley, but in the face of Ishihara's obedience, he could not do anything at this time.

Among the three chiefs of the Army, except for the Army's Education Director who cannot directly deduct active generals, the Army Minister and the Chief of Staff are in charge of orders. Even war heroes like Ishihara Kanir can scold him. However, Ishihara Kanir did indeed do something that must be punished.

After staring at Ishihara for a moment, Jinya turned to Nagata Tetsuyama and Okamura Yasuji, "Nagata, Okamura, please prepare."

When the two heard the order, they both lowered their heads and replied, "Yes."

Nagata is considered the future leader of the army, while Okamura has received high praise for his rigorous staff personality. Kaneya is very relieved of these two people, but Kaneya also looks forward to Ishihara Kanir. The Japanese Army's younger generation's double walls, everyone has a higher evaluation of Nagata, and privately implicitly believes that Ishihara's strategy and tactics may be slightly better.

The other generals and schoolmen were silent. Although the Army did admit the performance of these three people in the Sino-Japanese War, the British invitation did make the generals and schoolmen feel despised.

The British military delegation did not think of such a problem. What they cared about was the strength of these three people in the war against the Chinese army. Nagata Tengyama's calm and steady command, Ishihara Kanir's excellent tactical performance, and Okamura's solid staff operation were all very valuable for reference for the British.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Hamilton, the British military delegation entered the conference room. At this time, the Japanese generals had moved to the outside and left the other side to the British officers.

After a brief introduction to each other, Lieutenant General Hamilton ordered a lieutenant colonel to introduce the recent situation to Japan. Japan is very concerned about the war between China and Britain. Due to the traditional relationship between Britain and Japan, the Japanese army sent a military observation group early. Every day, the Japanese army and the Navy have to study the latest war reports.

"... The Chinese army's raid has been blocked by our army 100 kilometers north of Yangon. Now, our army has built a solid defensive position and is ready to launch a counterattack."

After the British lieutenant colonel introduced the situation, he looked at Lieutenant General Hamilton. Seeing that the lieutenant general nodded slightly, he sat back in his seat.

The Japanese generals looked at each other a few times. Nagata saw Lieutenant General Mian Mian looking at him, but did not speak first, but looked at Ishihara Kanir. The meaning is very clear, and Ishihara wanted to speak first. Because Nagata had attended two meetings held by the Prime Minister, he explained his views in detail to the Prime Minister and several cabinet ministers attending the meeting. It was not appropriate for him to speak first at this time.

Seeing that the General Secretary of the Kinya Staff Head nodded slightly to him, Ishihara stood up and greeted the British military delegation. After sitting back in his seat, he said: "Can your government consider expanding the scope of war beyond Myanmar?"

Lieutenant General Hamilton thought this question was very sharp and could only answer: "I haven't received any notice in this regard yet.

Hearing this conversation, Nagata felt that Ishihara had raised a very good question. If Britain was only prepared to fight against China in Myanmar, it means that Britain was not ready to expand the scale of the war to the level of national war. In other words, Britain was not ready to fight a war at the European war level, at least there was no such consideration at this stage.

Ishihara continued to ask: "How long does the troops lost by your country's army last for the longest time after fighting with the enemy?"

Lieutenant General Hamilton felt a little unhappy, but thought that the Japanese elite 30,000 Kwantung Army had not lasted for three days without having a good defense system, and the British army was annihilated by regiment-level combat units. His mood was also buffered. However, Lieutenant General Hamilton did not answer, but asked the adjutant this question. The adjutant thought for a while and replied: "The longest persistence is less than 48 hours."

Shi Yuan's expression was serious. He thought for a moment and continued to ask: "According to the description of Gui Army just now, the Chinese army initially launched a rapid attack when it broke through the border line, and it has made it significantly slower in the past half month, right?

Lieutenant General Hamilton did not answer this question, and he asked: "Grandpa Ishihara, I heard that you are an excellent tactician. I also heard that you consider yourself a student of Admiral He Rui. With your understanding of Admiral He Rui, what does this mean?

Whether it was members of the British military delegation or Japanese generals and generals, they looked at Ishihara. Everyone wanted to analyze something from such a simple battle situation, but they could not draw a convincing conclusion from it. So everyone wanted to hear Ishihara's view, especially when Lieutenant General Hamilton straightened up the relationship between Ishihara and He Rui.

Ishihara never concealed his academic relationship with He Rui. "Your Excellency, let me declare that I am indeed a student of He Jun in geopolitics and political economy. He Jun is very good at military science, but He Jun's ability in political science is obviously better. So, I understand this war from the perspective of geopolitics."

In Europe, soldiers will of course talk about politics. But in politics, the army must be isolated from politics. Therefore, Ishihara frankly admitted that he was a student of He Rui in political science, which is already a little "too frank". As for geopolitics to understand war, it even made the British military delegation attending the meeting feel overwhelmed.

The Japanese General Staff did not feel like this. Although Japan was a master of military science in Europe, the Navy was the British apprentice. The Japanese army studied under Germany, and the Japanese officers remembered the sentence "Military is a continuation of politics" in the works of the German military science master.

As for the "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Warriors are important matters of the country and the place of life and death, we must observe them." It is also a passage that the generals and officials will recite.

Ignoring the shock of the British officers, Ishihara continued: "The Chinese army is very clear about the purpose of this war. Before the war broke out, it has tried its best to avoid other possibilities and limit the Sino-British war to the colony. I am not sure whether the British side had initially set the war on the colony. Judging from the results, the Chinese army launched a prepared war in the areas they expected."

The British military delegation was a little surprised. They regarded the Chinese army as a powerful enemy and indeed prepared for the possibility of the Chinese army attacking Myanmar. So far, the British believed that the Chinese army's attack on Myanmar was the former suzerain state to regain its former vassal state and did not elevate it to the strategic level.

As an old colonial country, Britain has seized colonies, lost colonies, and exchanged colonies in the past few hundred years. It has even encountered the fact that the colonies separated from Britain through the War of Independence. Ishihara's pattern of this war has been raised to a strategic level, and the British military delegation felt that Ishihara might have been over-interpreting it.

Seeing the British's expression change, Ishihara's expression became serious. Japan once thought that He Rui's war philosophy was limited to the war itself, so he suffered a great loss. Now the British also reacted the same way, and still looked at the war itself. From the perspective of war in different patterns, the British would probably be completely wiped out by He Rui.

In Ishihara's strategic assessment, if Britain loses to China, it will be of great help to launch the Japanese revolution. So Ishihara is preparing to reveal his views on the war. Because the war has started according to He Rui's setting, even if the British repent, they probably have no chance to turn the tables. For Ishihara, such a story can help him get rid of a lot of doubts.

So Ishihara said seriously: "Gentlemen, for soldiers, war is more of war. But for politicians, war is a continuation of politics. He Jun is a civilized man, and his purpose of launching war is to serve economic and political purposes. Even from the perspective of war itself, it is easy to launch a war, but it is very difficult to end a war. From the perspective of ending war."

Hearing this, all the Japanese generals looked serious. Ishihara's words evoked everyone's memory. From the beginning to the end of the Sino-Japanese War, the progress of the Sino-Japanese War was completely under He Rui's control. The Kanto earthquake only advanced the time of the Sino-Japanese armistice, and did not change the result of the Sino-Japanese War.

Ishihara did not talk about the Sino-Japanese War, but continued to discuss the ongoing Sino-British War. "British no longer has the ability to pay 500,000 deaths and millions of injuries for another war. He Jun is very clear about this point. You think that the British army blocked the attack of the Chinese army in the north 100 kilometers away from Myanmar. I personally guess that these troops blocking the attack of the Chinese army were the British and Indian army, not the army composed of white British people. The number of British and Indian troops had been annihilated before was to create military pressure.
