Chapter 292: Dwarf Locust Resolution
"Shimizu-kun." After venting his anger, Ito Mifumi noticed Shimizu Asaku who was lowering his head, so he immediately shouted.
At this time, Ito Mifumi was indeed very angry, but on the other hand, he was secretly happy.
After this incident, his position in the new country will be more stable, and Qingshui Qianyun will no longer be a threat to him.
The matter of changing the flag was originally in charge of Qingshui Qianyun. Although he was his superior, he did not occupy a dominant position. Qingshui Qianyun was afraid that he would steal the credit, so he reported the news back to China early.
As angry as Ito Mifumi was at that time, he was as happy at this moment.
Of course, on the other hand, he was also very sad about the loss of Heyuan. After all, he was a general of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom and the highest person in charge in Xin.
Qingshui Qianyun immediately looked up at Ito Shiwen: "Hey, General, what can I do for you?"
"Mr. Shimizu, the Nanshan government has captured Heyuan. How should we deal with this matter?" asked Ito Mifumi.
Qingshui Qianyun pondered for a moment and said, "General, we should hold a meeting on this matter and ask other world powers to do us justice, accuse the Nanshan government of its crimes, and put pressure on the new government to return Heyuan Province."
Ito Mifumi was speechless. Did they really regard Heyuan as the native land of the dwarf locusts and these places as their own inherent territory?
A few days ago, the Northern government just called the powerful countries to accuse the Dwarf Locust Country of occupying the land of the New Country. At that time, they did not make a positive response. What is the point of calling the powerful countries now?
Ito Mifumi shook his head and said, "Shimizu-kun, is it useful to accuse the Nanshan government? Don't forget that they not only wiped out one of our divisions, but also wiped out thousands of dwarf locust soldiers in Sanjiang Province."
"Do you mean to use force to take back the source of the river?" Qingshui Qianyun asked.
Ito Shiwen sighed: "Whether to use force to retake Heyuan needs to be reported to the mainland and let His Majesty the Dwarf Locust make the decision."
"The most urgent task is to request domestic support to protect the safety of Qiyuan Province."
In the past, as their territory was not bordering that of Francis Xavier, they were not worried about the Nanshan government attacking them. But now that the two sides were bordering each other, Ito Mifumi couldn't help but worry.
After all, Francis Xavier is a man who does not play by the rules and is extremely tough towards the small locust country.
Who among the other warlords dared to clash with the army of the Little Locust Country? The Nanshan Army dared to attack them without any scruples. Would they still have any scruples now?
Qingshui Qianyun looked at Ito Mifumi and wondered if he was too timid.
"General, even if Fang Jian's army is powerful, does he really dare to go to war with the Dwarf Locust Army? As long as we are tougher, the other side may give in."
Ito Mifumi frowned and said, "Baka, Shimizu-kun, this matter cannot be judged arbitrarily. Not to mention the small division at the beginning, there are also thousands of brave warriors from Sanjiang some time ago."
"Don't wait until you suffer heavy losses before you regret it, just like this time. If we had sent troops into Heyuan in advance, Heyuan might still be in our hands."
Ito Mifumi was already very angry when he spoke, and his tone was very impolite.
Seeing this, Qingshui Qianyun had no choice but to lower his head obediently and listen to his instructions.
After speaking for a while, Ito Shiwen said to the outside of the house: "Come here, go and invite the division commander Tamura."
"Hi, General." An officer immediately went to invite someone.
Qing Shui Qian Yun was puzzled. Why did Ito Shiwen go to ask for the division commander Tamura? Was Ito Shiwen preparing for war?
Soon, an officer walked in with a middle-aged man wearing a lieutenant general's uniform.
"General, Division Commander Tamura has arrived."
The middle-aged man looked at Ito Mifumi and immediately bowed and said, "I am Koichi Tamura, and I am here to see His Excellency the General."
Ito Mifumi first signaled the officer to leave, and then said to Tamura Koichi: "Captain Tamura, please take a seat."
"Captain Tamura, the Nanshan Army has deployed its troops on the border between Qiyuan and Heyuan. I hope the Tamura Division can send a brigade to Dingcao." After Tamura Mitsukazu sat down, Ito Mifumi went straight to the point.
Tamura Koichi frowned and said, "General, we don't have enough troops now. We can just send a battalion to Dingcao."
"Qiyuan is the territory of our small dwarf locust nation. I don't think the Nanshan Army will enter Qiyuan."
Ito Mifumi said dissatisfiedly: "General Tamura, I am giving you an order, not discussing with you."
"Hi, I'll do it right away." Although Tamura Koichi was unhappy, he still stood up and bowed in response.
Although both of them have the rank of lieutenant general, Ito Mifumi's rank is higher than Tamura Koichi. Not only does he hold the position of commander in Singapore, but all affairs of the country, big or small, are also under his management.
Although both were lieutenant generals, Tamura Koichi could only keep a low profile because he could not compare with him in rank.
Seeing that he was quite respectful, Ito Mifumi nodded and said, "Yoshi, Tamura-kun, I will immediately ask for help from the country, and I hope they will send reinforcements."
"At the same time, we will ask the country to make up for the shortage of troops in the Tamura Division."
"Thank you, General." Tamura Koichi bowed again.
The thousands of soldiers sent to Sanjiang Province last time were all from the Tamura Division, and nearly 8,000 people were lost. Tamura was not happy at all.
In addition to having to defend the entire Qiyuan, the Tamura Division was also somewhat stretched, which was why they initially rejected Ito Mifumi.
After discussing the details, everyone dispersed. Ito Shifumi's adjutant followed his instructions and sent a telegram for help to the dwarf locust country, and Tamura Koichi immediately arranged for the Abe Brigade to set off to Dingcao.
When the Little Locust Kingdom received the telegram from the new country, the Little Locust immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
"My fellow ministers, what do you think about the affairs of the new country?" In the palace of Little Locust, Little Locust knelt at the top and glanced at the people below before he spoke.
Upon hearing the question, Army Minister Makino Eikaki immediately said, "Your Majesty, now is the time to launch a large-scale attack on the new country. We should send troops to reinforce it."
"Mr. Makino, the country's finances are tight right now. Where will the money come from to send troops to fight?" Finance Minister Taro Watanabe said dissatisfiedly.
Navy Minister Taro Toyoda also retorted: "We are separated from the new country by a vast ocean. If we want to land in the new country on a large scale and transport supplies, it will not only take time, but we will also need to import enough fuel."
"How much military budget is allocated to the navy every year? Don't you have enough fuel stored?" Makino Rongxian's face darkened.
In this world, although the geography is different, the Dwarf Locust Country is also an island country with poor resources and lack of energy.
Seeing the two arguing, Finance Minister Takahashi Keishun said, "Your Majesty, the domestic economy is not strong enough to support a large-scale invasion of a new country."
"However, the New Country only has one division, which is not enough to defend Qiyuan. We should send reinforcements to defend Qiyuan as soon as possible."
"At the same time, Ito Mifumi must be ordered to give him a charter to develop the Qiyuan economy and deliver resources to the country."
The little locust was not satisfied with everyone's opinions, and he couldn't help but speak.
"I plan to send five divisions to reinforce Ito Shifumi and retake Heyuan. What do you think?"
