Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 341 Big shot, family banquet
After coming out of Okamura Ningji's office, Tanabe Moritake asked Terauchi Yu to take a rest in the apartment building in the backyard of the headquarters.

Si Neiyong drove the road for two days in a row. Before that, he had been trying to raise his spirits. Just sitting on the bed, his body collapsed and he lay down on the bed.

By the time Terauchiyong woke up, it was almost evening.

The temple bravely opened the door, only to see an officer waiting at the door.

"Sir, I am the adjutant in the attendant's room. Your Excellency Commander ordered me to wait here!"

"Nani? Hurry up, don't keep the general waiting!"

"Sir, please change into this set of casual clothes first!" The adjutant handed over a storage box.

When Yuuchi Terauchi came out of the house again, he had already changed his attire.

Instead, he wore a gray and black robe, a top hat, and cloth shoes with laminated soles. The outfit fit him very well, but it looked very weird on Yu Terauchi.

Isamu Terauchi was a typical Japanese man at this time, with a top-heavy body, short stature, and slightly bow-legged.

The adjutant brought Yuuchi Terauchi from the backyard to the entrance of the headquarters building in front, where a car was waiting.

"Sir, please get in the car!" The adjutant opened the door.

Waiting for Terauchi Yong to sit in the back seat of the car, the adjutant immediately sat in the co-pilot's seat.

The car drove out of Tieshi Alley and headed west along the street.

Seeing that there were no guards accompanying him, and he did not see Neiji Okamura, Temple Yong asked suspiciously, "Where are we going? Why isn't Your Excellency here?"

"Sir, the Commander has gone to the mansion more than an hour ago, and the mansion is in the new urban area on the western outskirts of Beiping City!"

"The new urban area is specially built for the overseas Chinese in our country. All the important figures in Beiping City have mansions in the new urban area!"

Temple Yong understood, and immediately urged the driver to speed up.

The car left Beiping City and entered the new urban area, and there were Japanese people along the way.

In the distance, Si Neiyong saw the tall fence that could not be seen at a glance, and the car was inspected at a gate.

After entering, there are quite a few villas inside. There are Japanese soldiers in front of every house, and several patrols are encountered along the way.

A wall separates two worlds, and ordinary Japanese are not qualified to enter it.

The car stopped in front of a Chinese-Western villa, and the adjutant led Si Neiyong into the gate, around the screen wall, through the corridor, past the flower garden, and back and forth through seven or eight courtyards.

Si Neiyong walked around inside, his head was dizzy, and he looked like he had never seen the world. It's a pity that Si Neiyong didn't know Grandma Liu, otherwise the two could exchange their experiences.

The two finally stayed in front of a courtyard with red bricks and green tiles, and the adjutant stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief Yong is here!"

"Hurry up and let him in!"

Compared with in the headquarters, Okamura Ningji seemed more casual at this moment, and his words were full of lightness.

Before Yuuchi Terauchi came, he had been thinking about who the family member Neiji Okamura was talking about. I am afraid that the only one who could match Neiji Okamura was that, Yuuchi Terauchi vaguely guessed.

Si Neiyong entered the room with small steps, and saw a wooden table in the center of the room, and two people were already kneeling on the floor.

One of them was Neiji Okamura, and Isamu Terauchi took a rough look, only to see that the other person was looking at him with a smile.

Tera Neiyong trembled, took off his hat, clasped his hands together in front of his body, fell down, and knocked his head heavily on his hands.

"Yu Terauchi met his uncle!" Japanese people pay great attention to the etiquette of elders and children, so Yuu Terauchi is showing great respect at this moment.

It is reasonable to say that Si Nei Yong should be the uncle of the temple. After all, although the two are members of the same clan, their relationship has long been at odds.

This is also the name that Si Neiyong changed after he made achievements in Wuyi, and the two had a lot of contact during the period.

"Get up and come over here!"

"Mr. Gangcun, my incompetent nephew has caused trouble for you a lot!"

"Brother, why did you say that? The Temple Lord is a warrior of the empire. If there were officers like the Temple Lord in the army, the law and order in the rear would have been stable long ago!"

Neiji Okamura's words obviously benefited Juichi Terauchi very much, and subconsciously stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Terauchiyong maintained a kneeling posture and moved towards the table step by step.

Regarding Neji Okamura calling his uncle his elder brother, Isamu Terauchi was shocked by the relationship between the two, and he had never heard of it before.

Terauchi Toshiichi is [-] years old this year. He was born in a very prestigious and powerful hereditary aristocratic family in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. His father, Earl Terauchi Shogi, was a founding father of the Meiji era.

Neiji Okamura, fifty-six years old, was born in a declining samurai family in the Shimizaka-cho neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan.

It stands to reason that it is normal to call Terauchi Shouyi his elder brother, but Terauchi Yong knows that this involves a public case.

There are two mutually exclusive factions within the Japanese Army: One faction advocates continuing to overthrow the current cabinet by means of a military coup, and the emperor will rule directly by relying on the army.

Because they never leave the "imperial way" and "imperial prestige", they are called "imperial way school".

Its representatives are General Sadao Araki, who once served as Prime Minister of the Army, and General Jinzaburo Masaki, Director of Army Education. Most of its members are young middle- and lower-level military officers who have no status in the current regime, come from rural areas, and are dissatisfied with reality.

The members of the other faction are mostly members of Emperor Hirohito's cronies.

After they cleaned up the influence of the Changzhou Fan (which had held power in the army for a long time), they gradually occupied important positions in the middle and upper levels of the army.

Its representatives are Major General Nagata Tieshan, who enjoys the reputation of "Three Heroes" in the army, Major General Tojo Hideki, and Hayashi Mijuro, who later succeeded Araki Sadao as Prime Minister.

This faction advocates maintaining the control of the central organization of the military department. It believes that bloody military coups are not conducive to the stability of the military and political situation. Those who reform the country are called "rulers".

This faction was supported by Emperor Hirohito.In fact, the two factions of Communist warlords are consistent on the fundamental issue of "transforming the country" and establishing a legal regime, but there are differences and contradictions in specific methods and steps.

On February 1936, 2, the young soldiers in Japan created the "February 26 Incident" in an attempt to overthrow some important officials of the "controlling faction" through a coup.

Due to the anger of the Emperor, the coup d'état failed, and the army made a decision to purge military discipline.

At this time, Terauchi Shouichi had already reached the rank of general. Because he was a descendant of a famous family, he was aloof from factional struggles, had a complete service history, and was cheerful and open-minded, and had the courage to take responsibility for his subordinates.

Not only in the military, but also in the political and financial circles, he was quite popular, and he became the best candidate for the Minister of Army to take on the important task of "Sujun". Shouyi from the temple was appointed as the Prime Minister of the new land.

Immediately after Terauchi Shouyi became Prime Minister of Lu, he used his "iron fist" to purge the army. On March 1936, 3, in order to smash the "Imperial Way School" camp, Terauchi Shouichi removed a large number of key elements of the "February 23 Incident" and formed a new personnel arrangement for the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Headquarters.In addition, in order to strengthen the control, Terauchi Shouichi tried every means to control the power of personnel.

After cleaning up the Kodo faction, the backbone of the ruling faction, Sugiyama Moto, Nishio Hiszo, and Umezu Yoshijiro were transferred to control the Army Central Committee.The ruling faction has mastered the army, which means that Japan is about to expand to China.

When Terauchi Yong saw Terauchi Shouichi and Okamura Ningji having a happy conversation, he even had an idea in his heart.

Could it be that the [-] incident that the Huangdao faction caused was secretly planned by my uncle and the ruling faction, just to attack the Huangdao faction.

My uncle is one of the representatives of the nobility, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be a ruling faction. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor secretly ordered it?

Terauchiyong couldn't help thinking about it.
