Japan 14th Division Headquarters, Caozhou, Shandong
Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara had recently gotten a few bottles of authentic Japanese sake from his friend, so he invited his chief of staff, Major General Sano Tadayoshi, to taste it together.
"Sano-kun, how about you try this wine?”Dohihara poured a cup for Sano Tadayoshi and said.
Sano Tadayoshi took a sip of his wine and praised,""This is indeed the most authentic sake from my hometown…"
As he spoke, Sano's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence."The last time I drank the sake of my hometown was a few years ago. Sigh, I wonder when the war will end!”
"Sano-kun, the end of the war is not far away!”He poured another glass of wine for Sano." Now, our Great Japan Empire has occupied more than half of China's territory. Even their capital has been occupied by us. I believe that it won't be long before this place…"
As he spoke, he pointed to his feet and stood up. He opened his arms and said,"This huge piece of land will be a colony of our Great Japan Empire in the future! When the time comes, I will plant thousands of acres of cherry blossoms here. We will sit under the cherry blossom trees, drink wine, and watch the Chinese beauties dance for us. Haha…"
Dohihara's words made Sano Tadayoshi's eyes reveal a look of anticipation. He fantasized about the future and said,"Yes! At that time, I will definitely carve out a few thousand acres of land as my private territory. I want dozens of beautiful women to serve me, and I want those lowly pigs to raise pigs for me!”
"Such a huge territory, a lowly Chinese pig is not worthy of owning it!”Sano Tadayoshi said.
"That's right! Our Japan is too small. No matter how hard we try, we can't expand. However, this Chinese who has a huge territory and vast land doesn't know how to cherish it. It's simply... using the Chinese idiom to say, it's a waste of natural resources. Haha!”Tufei Yuan laughed loudly.
Sano Tadayoshi said with admiration,""General is really amazing. You can even learn such a difficult Chinese language. You're simply a master of the world!”
Speaking of Chinese, this was the thing that Dohihara was most proud of. Chinese was really difficult to learn. Although before the Japanese invaded the Republic of China, the Empire had organized courses to learn Chinese in order to better colonize and occupy the Republic of China, very few people learned it. As one of the few Japanese generals who knew Chinese, Dohihara was obviously very admirable!
Just as Tufei Yuan was about to show off his Heaven Dynasty Connection, a messenger walked over and interrupted him. This made Tufei Yuan a little angry and said with an unfriendly expression,"Baka! Can't you see that I'm drinking with Sano-kun? Don't disturb me if there's nothing else!"
"Hey! I'm sorry to disturb you, but the commander of the Shanghai dispatched army, General Matsui Ishigne, sent a telegram!”
"Iwane Matsui? Why would he send us a telegram?" Doihara and Sano looked at each other, took the telegram, and sneered!
"Could it be that Matsui Ishigane's brain was emptied by a Chinese woman after he became the commander of the Central China Army? He actually sent out such a message that made the Japanese Empire laugh at him!”Tufei Yuan mocked.
The 14th Division of Dohihara was under the command of the Japanese North China Front. The commander was General Katsuki Kiyoshi, while Matsui Ishigane was the commander of the Shanghai dispatched army, which was also the Central China Front. The two armies usually did not interact with each other. Even if they were to fight, they would still need to work together. However, Matsui Ishine actually sent a message to order his 14th Regiment!
To be the commander of Katsuki Kiyoshi?
Sano saw Dohihara's expression and asked,""What did Matsui Iwane's message say?”
"This Matsui Ishigen actually took the position of our North China Army's commander, Katsuki Kiyoshi, General Yu Wuwu, and directly bypassed the North China Army's headquarters to send a message to me, ordering me and the 9th division to cooperate and destroy a division of China!”
"This is ridiculous!" said Tufei Yuan.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just this Matsui Ishigen asking our 14th division and the 9th division to join forces to wipe out a Chinese division is a disgrace to our empire!”Sano Tadayoshi said angrily after reading the message.
"Besides, since when did Matsui Ishigane, a member of the Central China Army, manage our North China Army? He's stretching his hands too far!" After Sano Tadayoshi finished speaking, he paused and said hesitantly,"Then how do we reply to him? Although he can't control us, we're all from the Ministry of Land Forces after all. If we make things too awkward, I'm afraid we'll be laughed at by those people from the Ministry of Navy!”
"Let's reply to Matsui Ishigen first. Tell him that our 14th division will definitely send troops!" Then, he would inform Commander Katsuki about this matter. As for whether or not to send troops, it would depend on Commander Katsuki's instructions!”
"What about the 9th division?" Sano Tadayoshi said.
"The 9th division doesn't need to worry about him. Although the commander Yoshika Ryosuke is also from the North China Army, he has a good personal relationship with Matsui Ishine.”said Doihara Kenji.
"Then let's do this first! Come, let's continue drinking!" After the two of them settled this matter, they started drinking again. As for sending troops to destroy the 101st division? If a Chinese division sent out two divisions, wouldn't that be enough to crush them?
Why would he need to spend so much effort? When the warriors of the Great Japan Empire charged up, that division would probably run away before they could resist!

Yoshika Ryosuke looked at the message in his hand and walked to the door. After a moment of silence, he said to his chief of staff, Nakagawa Hiroshi,""Although Matsui-kun's actions are a little inappropriate, this is an old friend's request after all, so I can't refuse!”
"Kira Kun, what did the headquarters say?" asked Nakagawa Hirosake. Would Commander Katsuki be unhappy?”
"Forget it!" Yoshika Ryosuke said," Let's not bother about the commander for now. After all, we are also the effective force to destroy China. We are also contributing to His Majesty the Emperor. I think the headquarters won't be too calculative!" Besides, since the invasion of China, which war has not been initiated by us?”
"Those lords in the base camp are all overcautious. Now that the warriors of our empire have occupied more than half of China, they still think that the center of the empire should be in Southeast Asia. Don't they know that as long as we occupy China, the empire will have a lot of wealth and resources?”
"What a bunch of stupid people!" Yoshika Ryosuke scoffed.
