"Mr. Doihirahara, how do you explain these..."

The plan to explode the dike and flood northern Henan failed. Kenji Doihara secretly flew back to Nanjing from Xuzhou. He just got off the plane and returned to the 11th Army headquarters.

Okamura Yasuji threw a pile of newspapers in front of him.

"Kenji Doihara, a person who is greedy for death and lives a life of silence!"

"The Hard-Railence of the East"

"The I know Kenjiushima Mitsuki I know"

"Who's fault in Taierzhuang's defeat?"

...

The first newspaper was accompanied by a conspicuous photo, which was taken after Niujima was captured. Of course, this photo was taken later, but the obviously dissuasion-fitting lieutenant general uniform completely hit Kenji Doihara's seemingly strong heart.

"Kun Okamura, please don't believe these things in the newspapers. These reporters like to fabricate things out of thin air and create them to attract others' attention." Kenji Doihara defended himself.

"Mr. Dohihara, it's not that I don't believe you, but that others don't believe you. Once the things written on it are seen by the Tokyo Base Camp, or even reached the ears of His Majesty, do you know what will happen and how much impact it will have on you?"

Instinctively, Okamura Yasuji still believes in Kenji Dohira. Based on his understanding of Kenji Dohira in the past, he felt that Kenji Dohira was not a person who was greedy for death.

But there are some things. People are afraid of words. Kenji Doihara suffered a crushing defeat on the Chinese battlefield. An elite division plus a field heavy artillery brigade requires someone to be responsible for the losses of personnel and equipment.

If you don’t have to bear any responsibility for defeat, then what should military law do? Besides, Kenji Doihara is somewhat responsible for the reason for the defeat this time.

There was a man who left China sadly with a very bad impression of Kenji Doihara, that is, the former commander of the North China Front Army and the General Toichi Teraunuchi.

Due to the failure of China's battlefield, Soichi Teraunuchi took on a considerable responsibility. Not only was he summoned to return to his country to serve as a free position, but he might even miss the position of the Army Marshal.

On the battlefield in western Shandong, Kenji Dohira repeatedly disobeyed orders and made arbitrary claims. Soichi Teraunuchi had a bad impression of Kenji Dohira. As soon as these reports were sent back to Japan and China, Soichi Teraunuchi immediately gave advice to the base camp and the General Staff, demanding an investigation into Kenji Dohira's command on the Chinese battlefield.

Teraunuchi even found Prince Zairen of the General Staff Headquarters to file a lawsuit, and pushed the fault of the capture of the main official of the 10th Division, including Taierzhuang, and Isotani Ryosuke, to Kenji Dohihara.

It is even a sensational assumption that Kenji Doihara may have colluded with China, but the reason is that Kenji Doihara does not support the war against China and wears a pair of pants with the conservatives.

Seishiro Itagaki understands the facts of the battle. He also knows Kenji Doihara, which is definitely not as unbearable as the newspapers and general Toichi Desouchi said.

However, now there are always people who are responsible for the defeat of Guide. They have lost so many imperial athletes and outstanding generals. They cannot be regarded as nothing has happened, and they must calm the anger of some people in the army.

The officers serving in the 14th Division and the 10th Division also have relatives and friends. Those who are dead now, those who are captured are captured, and those who are not sure of their lives. If no one is responsible, where should these people vent their emotions?

It's always a good idea to take the blame, but it's still a good idea. If someone dies, it's the most suitable thing to take the blame. The problem is that some people died, but they are not qualified. There are only a few who are qualified. The leader of the division, Isotani Ryosuke, is OK. The problem is that he was captured and not dead yet. The rest is Kenji Doihara who lost the battle and came back alive.

Others either die in battle or are captured, but you come back alive. Who else can you find if you don’t?

The phone ring on Okamura Yasuji's desk suddenly rang, very urgent, making people feel frightened.

"Moshimoshi, Commander." Okamura Yiji reached out to take the phone, put it in his ear, and immediately stood at attention and thrust his waist slightly.

“…”

"Hay, I understand, I'll handle it right away."

The phone call was from Shinji Hata. Through the table, Kenji Doihara Doihara heard the impolite and irritableness in Shinji Hata Hata's tone, and was obviously very unhappy.

"Dohihara, I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore. The base camp personally issued an order to order the gendarmerie to escort you back to the country and accept the base camp's investigation." Okamura Yasuji put down the phone and sighed.

"Okamura, the 'Epiphyllum' plan has just begun. Can I stay in China for more days and then return to China for investigation? Half a month is enough."

Okamura Yasuji shook his head.

"One week, one week is OK?" Kenji Doihara asked pleaded.

"No, the headquarters' order is to escort you back to Tokyo immediately." Okamura Yasuji said, "Your commander has already told me clearly that you are not allowed to plead with mercy. No one's words will work. Prince Saihito, the General Staff Headquarters, has personally inquired about your affairs."

Kenji Doihara's face darkened. There was obviously no room for negotiation on this matter, which alarmed this person. If he disobeyed his order, the outcome could be imagined.

"Mr. Dohihara, take care of him." Okamura Yasuji really didn't want Kenji Dohihara to leave. He needed a think tank like him who was familiar with China's national conditions and was proficient in intelligence work, but there was no way. Who made him a defeated general? There was so many things that could not be explained clearly?

"Okamura, thanks to his care, Dohihara is very grateful. Before leaving, I have a few heartfelt words to give to Okamura." Kenji Dohihara solemnly bowed to Okamura Yasuji.

"Mr. Doihirahara, please speak!"

"Please be careful of Leng Feng, who is not only capable of being unpredictable in military affairs, but also has extraordinary means in economic and political terms." Kenji Doihara said solemnly, "When he faces him, he must make a decision before he can move."

"Thank you for your good advice from Doihara, I remember it."

"This time there was a sudden report about me in the newspaper. I feel that it must be his work." Kenji Doihara's eyes fainted slightly.

"are you sure?"

"I can feel that he wants to get rid of me, and these reports are too abrupt, as if they have been discussed. If you don't believe it, Okamura can check the origin of these reports." Kenji Doihara said angrily, "Also, the news of my life must have been leaked. He must have guessed that I was behind the explosion of the dam and flooding northern Henan. So, I used this trick to force me to leave China."

"Is this Leng Feng so powerful?"

"Okamura, you have never fought with him directly. When you fight with him, you will understand that what I said is not false." Kenji Doihara said, "Among the generals of J in China, Chiang and He are not worth worrying. The only ones who can truly become a major concern in the empire are M and this Leng Feng."

"Tohirahara Junyan is so heavy, and Yan'an's m is just surviving. As for this Leng Feng, he is now just a general of the zy army. Although he has some strength, he is still far behind the powerful power of the empire." Okamura Yasuji did not completely believe what Dohirahara Kenji said.

Even if Kenji Doihara said something reasonable, a defeated general will inevitably be a bit exaggerated or exaggerated to the person who defeats him.

If the opponent is too weak, wouldn’t it seem like you are too incompetent?

Kenji Doihara bowed deeply again to Okamura Yasuji, and he could only say this. As for whether the other party listened to it, it was his own business.

The military police sent by the headquarters came quickly. Almost the moment Kenji Doihara walked out of Okamura Yasuji's office, a Japanese lieutenant with a "military police" armband on his arm came to the headquarters of the 11th Army with four soldiers.

A click!

Kenji Doihara was handcuffed and pushed into a prison car that carried prisoners, and was quickly taken away.

As soon as Kenji Doihara left, Major General Satoichi Yoshimoto and Chief of the Operations Section Chief Miyazaki Kanji walked into Okamura's office together.

"Commander Okamura, Dohirahara, was taken away like this. This is a huge loss for us. I have read some battle reports. Even if Dohirahara is carrying out the orders of the general in the temple, he may not be able to rescue the main force of the Isogaya Division."

"Abide by orders is the first principle of soldiers. If Doihara Jun violates this, he must accept punishment. Otherwise, as long as the subordinates think they are right, they can disobey the military order. How can we lead the troops?" Okamura Yasuji rebuked. As a superior, if he encounters such a subordinate, it will be deeply hated. Disobedient soldiers may not be harmful, but a general who does not obey orders will cause great disasters.

"Commander, how will General Dohihara deal with the base camp this time when he returns to Tokyo?" Miyazaki asked Monday. If the plan to flood northern Henan is successful, Kenji Dohihara may still win a chance to redeem his sins. At least he has the credit and can wash away some of the "suspicions" on him.

But the plan to "flood in northern Henan" failed. Who would have thought that "Cheng Chiang" would order digging and releasing water on the upstream of the exploded gap?

The troops on the southern line have been promoted too quickly, which put too much pressure on the Chinese team J. This is probably one of the reasons for the failure of this plan.

I can only say that Kenji Doihara was too unlucky. He saved his life and was subject to review. It was obvious that some people in China were dissatisfied with him, so he took this opportunity to mess with him.

However, the news about Kenji Doihara's survival was not disclosed to the public. Although the base camp was reported, it was not at this critical moment?

Have these false reports spread to Tokyo?

If so, that would be an explanation, but who did the problem?

As Okamura Yasuji, it was not difficult to figure out the reason. He soon knew the reason. It turned out that a very inconspicuous left-wing newspaper in Tokyo reported an article titled "The Destruction of the 14th Division".

The article was mailed to the newspaper, and the signature was naturally fake. Although Japan and China also implemented news controls, no matter how powerful the control was, it was impossible to be airtight. As a result, when this report was released, there were not many people reading it. I don’t know who submitted a copy to the Shou family in Teraunuchi. This old guy was originally unhappy with Kenji Doihara, so he found Prince Zairen of the Immortal Palace to complain. The matter was not big, but it turned out to be a big deal.

This matter was a big deal at the General Staff Headquarters. Prince Zairen saw that it was not possible and had to capture Kenji Doihara and ask clearly, otherwise the impact would be broken.
