My own war game

Chapter 315 How to take sides
At night, a black shadow was moving around in the military camp, and behind him was a smaller shadow, jumping and following closely.

The two, one big and one small, easily bypassed the patrol checkpoint and came to a building with steam rising from it - a large officers' bathroom.

He Chi was observing the situation on the opposite side by the wall, while the spider robot named KITT directly raised its pair of compound eyes to replace the function of the telescope.

"Okay, when we rush in later, I will directly control the leader. You follow me and don't let anyone find you." He Chi whispered to KITT.

KITT jumped onto He Chi's shoulder, shook his front legs with some excitement, and spit out his stun gun.

"Uh, thanks, but I think I can handle this on my own."

There were shadows swaying in the bathtub, and occasional singing mixed with slang could be heard. It sounded like the people inside were drunk.

Wow~~ A basin of hot water was poured on his body, burning his skin red, but Major General Aoki enjoyed it very much.

Although the power transaction was not reached, Lord Aoki was still very satisfied with the hospitality provided by Captain Otani.

The delicate taste of Ise shrimp sashimi and the mellow aroma of premium Yamato sake complemented each other so well that the major general could not help but drink two more glasses. Coupled with the rising steam, he was so drunk that he could no longer stand steadily.

It doesn't matter because two girls with delicate skin will provide meticulous and thoughtful service here.

Unlike a year ago, these girls were not maids with only pretty faces. Both of them were female students who had attended university and were selected from among the overseas Chinese. Their looks and temperament were incomparable to those country girls.

Entering the special large wooden barrel again, the major general immersed his body in the water. The girl's fingers as green as onions slowly massaged his shoulders. He moaned in comfort while enjoying the warm and soft service.

Come to think of it, life is really amazing. Three years ago, he was an unknown little staff officer on the Guadalcanal battlefield. He blew the sea breeze every day, ate food as bad as that of military horses, and fought for the false supremacy in his heart. If he died, he probably wouldn't even have a tombstone.

Now, Japan is about to be defeated and will have to re-establish its government. These former "traitors" can now return to their country in fine clothes.

As the nominal number three figure in the New Japan National Construction Army, he will definitely get a good position, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should have a life of wealth and glory.

However, it is human nature to be greedy for more. Three years ago, Chief of Staff Aoki, who only wanted to survive, is now seeking the position of Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance) in the new government and has invested a considerable amount of money.

He first spent a lot of money to buy information within the US government. After learning that the Truman administration began to favor MacArthur to be stationed in Japan after the war, he began to bet on this future Japanese emperor.

The spending on General MacArthur's family alone exceeded $100,000, and he even gave two estates he acquired in the Philippines to the five-star general.

The heavy investment certainly paid off. MacArthur's assistant politely replied to him, "As long as there are corresponding achievements, the general is willing to see his friend stand in a higher position."

This is a very mysterious word. What does it mean to have matching achievements?
Major General Aoki quickly thought of the Truman administration's previous request to him - to integrate all the new Japanese national construction army and make them completely turn to the United States.

Lord Aoki couldn't help feeling annoyed when thinking about this. Although the power under Iikuni Kojiro had been reduced to a very small level, he still controlled three regiments with an armed force of about 6,000 people, and the total number of people accounted for one-fifth of the entire New Japan National Army.

As long as they still maintain an isolated and pro-British attitude, Sir Marshall's mission will not be accomplished and his dream cannot be realized.

We should use more drastic measures...

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was because he had been thinking for too long, but Lord Aoki's judgment of the situation around him was much weaker. By the time he reacted, the water had already cooled down. The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

what happened? !
The major general stood up suddenly and found that two girls had fainted on the ground outside the door.

"Baga! Come on..."

The major general had just finished calling for help when he interrupted himself because he was horrified to find a silver-white pistol sticking out of the door and someone breaking in.

What followed was a black shadow with many legs.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
A blue arc flashed, and Aoki's body twitched twice and fell to the ground.

He Chi walked out from the side, looked at the robot jumping around, and said helplessly, "KITT, you are too quick to act. I still have something to ask."

The spider robot shook its body, quickly put away the stun gun in its mouth, and without waiting for He Chi to say anything else, it jumped into his clothes again and stayed motionless.

Looking at Major General Aoki lying on the ground like a white pig, He Chi rubbed his chin and finally could only comfort himself, "I'll say hello next time."

The next day, the camp became chaotic with a woman's scream.

It was a huge shame that the third-ranking figure in the New Japan National Army, Major General Aoki, was found naked outside.

Fortunately, it is summer now, otherwise someone would have died in such a night.

What's more troublesome is that the major general seems to have mental problems. As soon as he woke up, he shouted, "I saw that adult! I saw that adult! And there was a monster."

In the following days, the major general hid in the house and dared not come out. He hurried back to the warship on the sea without waiting for the end of the Battle of Okinawa, preferring to risk being hit by the kamikaze special forces rather than go ashore.

Others may find this situation baffling, but the senior members of the new Japanese National Army, especially those who participated in the Battle of Guadalcanal in the early years, have their own interpretations.

"As expected of that lord, Aoki Kenpei's wolfish ambitions were discovered right after they were revealed, and he was punished in this way. For a samurai, there is nothing more shameful than what he is seeing now."

"That gentleman is really too cruel... no, too great."

The impact of this incident was very wide-ranging, and the most direct result was that Otani Tsunemori's confidence, which had been slightly shaken, became firm again, and he chose to side with the Iikuni faction without hesitation.

On June 6, with the Japanese defender Ushijima Mitsuru committing suicide by seppuku at his headquarters, the last organized Japanese unit in Okinawa was eliminated. On July 23, Nimitz officially announced the end of the Battle of Okinawa.

News of the internal turmoil in the New Japan National Army, which had performed admirably in the island-taking campaign, reached Washington once again.

A newly compiled report by the US intelligence agencies was placed on the desk of young President Truman.
