Zhukov's call came soon. On the one hand, he said that the Central Asian war was progressing to a critical moment and he must not hesitate or withdraw troops. On the other hand, he believed that now is not the time to use large-scale troops against Japan, and it is enough to send 10,000 to 20,000 troops to be dispatched at once, and no matter whether they win or lose, the Far Eastern troops must enter the highest alert state, although he judged that this was not the starting point of the Japanese offensive.

What made Stalin laugh and cry the most was that Zhukov actually believed that the 10-15% transit fee was reasonable, but his reason sounded more sleeker than Huasilevsky: "Comrades on the intelligence front revealed that Germany had deployed submarines to Japan. If we were unwilling to pay this transit fee, Germany would definitely use materials as a means to buy Japan to provide a base for bankruptcy. The losses will be further increased. It would be better to satisfy Japan's greed and escort our army. The two harms are compared to the lesser..."

In the final analysis, before not being able to go to war with Japan, he could only temporarily endure and appease Japan. Zhukov specifically pointed out that Vladivostok and the Soviet port cannot be destroyed, otherwise even if there is materials, they will not be unloaded.

After soliciting opinions from the Politburo, most people agreed with the statement of "carefulness". On the one hand, they asked the Japanese side to punish the responsible persons, and on the other hand, they expressed temporary restraint. Stalin could only order the war with his nose and not announce it. The Soviet army in the Far East was ordered to draw an army to attack the Kwantung Army. As a result, the Japanese army had many more 75mm anti-tank guns, and then many No. 3 assault guns. The Soviet armored troops encountered unprecedented blocking and could not move, and the air force that took off was also intercepted by Japanese fighter jets. Although the b-109 had short legs, they were very competent in defense of the important areas. In addition, the Kwantung Army built several anti-Su radar stations, which were clear about the situation in front. Meijiro Umezu, who rushed back to Xinjing to report the enemy situation on the front line to Tokyo, requested additional assistance.

It was not until the next morning that Higashiramiya Minorhiko and Ishihara Kanir learned about the matter between the Navy and the Soviet side. They were so angry that they cursed the Navy Malu, but after a few words, Ishihara Kanir stopped cursing because a staff officer handed him a note saying that it was sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The list of materials given to the Army stipulated in the Japan-German Material Support Treaty will begin delivery soon.

"It's not small." Looking at the equipment and quantity on the list, Tokuramiya Minorhiko sighed, "The Germans are so rich, and now I believe that Tsukahara has collected political donations..."

"No, what about the seized materials?" Ishihara Kaner gently tapped the table and analyzed, "This is the German preferential condition. Intercepting materials is a fortune. The Navy cannot just treat the army as a gun, but it will take the benefits themselves, so they have to spit out some of them."

"I'll call the military command..." King Minorhiko Tokuramiya immediately reacted and nodded repeatedly, "At least 30% of us will be divided!"

Just as he was about to pick up the microphone to dial, a staff officer rushed in in shock: "No, the navy's personnel are in a big shock!"

"What?"

"Your Majesty has just issued an edict to remove General Horitoshi from his position as commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet..."

"Ah?" Higakurimiya Minori and Ishihara Kanir were stunned, "What's going on?"

"I heard that General Hori sent a fleet to hijack the Soviet ship..."

The staff officer just said something and was interrupted by Ishihara Kanji: "Don't talk nonsense, that's an American ship."

"Yes, it's an American ship!" The staff officer said while wiping his sweat, "I heard that he had mobilized the fleet without passing the military command. He also had a fight with His Highness Fumimiya Hirokyo, the Chief Minister of the Military Command, who was so angry that he was hospitalized. General Hori himself refused to resign. In order to give Su Fang an explanation, His Majesty had no choice but to issue this edict to him to serve as a full-time military senator. General Hori would probably be ordered to obey the edict..."

"Please call Yamamoto Hirosato. What's going on? Why did the Navy make such a fuss?"

King Minorhiko Higaki picked up the phone and complained to Yamamoto: "What are you doing? Now it's a war! Everyone should be united... The army is not arguing with the navy now, why did the navy quarrel with itself? General Horitoshi returned from a great victory, why did you get rid of his position? Don't use the name of a military senator to make excuses me, that's for retirement..."

Yamamoto Iroku smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I don't want to do it either. Why don't you persuade Your Highness, the Chief of the Military Order, to resign or advise Your Majesty to take back his life?"

"I... forget it." When King Minorhito Hirohito thought of the royal military orders that Hirohito had given him, he instinctively opposed it, "How dare I reach out to the navy? I am impatient... However, we scored some of the materials, and we can't get the benefits. We carry the burden. The Soviet army is attacking the Kwantung Army and the front line needs assistance."

"Your Highness, Hori Teiki has already agreed with General Umetsu. You can ask the Kanto Army directly."

"Nonsense!" King Minorhiko Higaki put down the phone and commented, and then said, "This kid Umejin is weird enough to connect with the fleet silently. No, I have to ask clearly."

Half an hour later, the telegram came. Meijin frankly told the inside story, saying that the Kwantung Army was "passively involved", and said that the Navy would give about 250,000-280,000 tons of materials. The Navy said that it was coming with a ship. After a reconnaissance, the Land Aviation found that what it said was true.

Ishihara Kaner stared at the map and thought: "Don't go to Kanto Prefecture to get ashore. Go directly to North Korea and then transport it to Manchuria by railway. Tell Umejin that he would give him 200,000 tons and leave 50,000-80,000 tons for the Korean army. In addition, he would not give him the reinforcements and materials he wanted, so that he could rely on his own strength to repel the harassment of the Soviet army and never advance north. This would be an example!"

"Why don't you take the example?" King Minorhiko Higakimiya smiled, "You're easy to talk to."

"There is a lot of money. Besides, we have taken so many cheap things, of course we can only take it lightly. Could it be that we also learn from the military command to mess up the Kanto Army? Do Manchuria still want it?" Ishihara said sincerely, "Your Highness, we must be a little tolerant of the front line. As long as we do not violate the strategy and overall direction, we can deeply implement the instructions of the base camp, and help them fight for the interests as much as possible. Hori Teiki risked his reputation and gave money to his subordinates, sent cars, and things, what should we do? We can't learn this, and we can relax in other aspects."

"Yes, yes." As usual, King Minami Tokuramiya Minori made another catchphrase, "Very good, very good, I agree with everything you said, and I will do it according to your opinion. However, is the strength of the Kanto Army enough? Don't suffer losses like Nomenhan and dare not go to Tokyo to report."

"No, the Soviet army cannot take advantage this time unless they don't want it on the eastern front." Ishihara Kanir comforted him, "The European war is fierce, the Soviet army is retreating step by step, General Horitoshi also seized the opportunity to attack the Russians. Moreover, the Manchurian national defense line has been operating for many years, and the Tigerhead Fortress is the top priority, how can it not be stopped? But there is one thing that must be guaranteed no matter what, and the situation cannot be expanded, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. You and Commander Umetsu must explain this clearly..."

King Minorhiko Higashinomiya nodded: "Of course, of course, I will send him a telegram so that he will not be confused."

After receiving the telegram from the General Staff Headquarters, especially seeing the words "Not to be an example" and "distribute 50,000 to 80,000 tons to the Korean army", Mejiro Umezu smiled meaningfully: "Second Minister Ishihara is indeed a wise man, very good, very good! The Kanto Army firmly obeys Your Highness's wise decision."

After receiving the warning telegram from King Minorhiko Higakimiya, Mejiro Umezu smiled even more: the base camp is similar to his, and everyone is cautious and just fight against the Russian Qiu Feng. Now this polar bear still has some strength, at least it has to wait for the Germans to shine their blood before they can take action. There is no need to rush for a moment.

Everyone understands people. Ishihara Kanr used 50,000 to 80,000 tons of materials to eliminate the worries of "privately colluding" and "dead first and report" by Mijiro Umezu, which is of course beneficial to the Kanto Army. After the Korean army received 50,000 to 80,000 tons of materials for no reason, they would also be grateful to Tokyo. Ishihara Kanrr had been in the center for a long time and began to scatter, no longer being stubborn and learning to handle all relations smoothly as before. Soon, North Korean Governor Koi Kan Aki also sent a telegram, expressing his "resolute support and implementing the base camp policy."

The same thing is not surprising here, but the Navy has stirred up storm.

The order for personnel adjustment was soon sent to the fleet, and everyone, especially the young and powerful faction below the Nakasas, was in an uproar. They did not take the hijacking of US aid ships seriously. Instead, they believed that Horitoki's move was a great contribution to the country: he obtained more than 600,000 tons of supplies intact, and more than 40 ships were not small. They were almost as effective as the last joint fleet's hard work in Europe to fight in Europe for half a year, which was enough to build several aircraft carriers! He believed that this was completely accusing of personal revenge by Fushimi Miyagi Hakura Kyoko and taking personal revenge, and they all shouted that they would go to write a letter and collectively retain the superior.

Horitikihito smiled lightly: "I understand all your thoughts, but since Your Majesty has a order, you must naturally obey the ministers. This is the way to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism... After the new chief takes office, you must continue to perform your duties and serve the country bravely!"

"Jews, please!" He bowed to everyone, then left the bridge without looking back, and the commander's tower cried.

On December 16, 1943, Hori Teiki resigned from the position of commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet, and the next day he was replaced by Yokosuka's governor Okawa Fushiro.

After Oikawa took office, a series of personnel adjustment orders were issued like flowing: General Koga Fengyi of the Deputy Chief of the Military Command resigned and replaced Yokosuka Guardian of Koshiro Oikawa; Prince Fushimi Miyaki Hirokawa's confidant, currently the Director of Military Affairs, and Lieutenant General Ito, who served as Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet, served as Deputy Chief of the Military Command. Since Prince Fushimi Miyaki Hirokawa was hospitalized, In fact, Ito Kazuichi temporarily took charge of the Military Command. The relationship between him and Prince Fushimi Miyaki Hirokawa was very similar to that between Kanir Ishihara and Minorhiko Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa Hirokawa, and King Fushimi Miyaki Hirokawa Hirokawa did not trust him unreservedly like King Hirokawa Hirokawa, and Minorhiko Hirokawa, he still had his own decisions on many things. Fururu Shin replaced Ito Kazuichi's position as Chief of Military Affairs.
