Age of Rebirth

On the part of the Japanese navy, the grievance and anger in their hearts, a battle of annihilation that was full of confidence, ended like this, shame and loss, it was not because the army deliberately made a trip, so, with a smell of gunpowder, they rushed to the Navy Department of the Emperor's Palace A few big brothers, what they want is not an explanation, but justice!

His Majesty the Emperor, who had just embraced a charming and lively concubine, who was about to show off his majesty and spread dragon seeds in his concubine's body, after receiving the report from the attendant, looked worried and helpless. Withdrawing the dragon claws rubbing the concubine Yufeng, spitting foam, suppressing the raging desire in the lower abdomen, surrounded by the attendants, his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped, and he arrived at the front hall.

It's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor is displeased. Those big bosses from the Ministry of the Navy came at the wrong time, but at the stall where His Majesty was about to have a hand-to-hand fight with his beloved concubine, the man met Such being interrupted by life and death, I am not so angry that I have the thought of killing people. Besides, I have 360 ​​five days a year, how many times can I have such an impulse, the state affairs are heavy, and I worry about it, for the hundreds of millions of subjects of the Great Japanese Empire For the sake of thinking, can't I have a moment of joy?

Emperor Hirohito walked towards the meeting hall with a gloomy face, while thinking angrily, if these guys who disturbed my joy in the middle of the night come to bother me with trivial matters, how will I deal with you?Emperor Hirohito secretly gritted his teeth and became ruthless!

When they got to the place, several bigwigs from the Ministry of the Navy talked about the situation in a hurry, and then submitted the carefully prepared report on the battle situation by Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshinori and Masao Okamura. The emperor was full of inappropriate times, and immediately disappeared, and he realized the seriousness of the problem. [

This is no longer a matter of slandering and attacking each other by using means, stumbling behind, and slandering each other between the army and the navy.But this kind of approach has already involved the serious problem of weakening the foundation of the Great Japanese Empire. The army and navy are my right-hand men. Now, the left-hand man cut off the right arm with a knife. This is not Bajie gnawing on pig's feet Son, self-mutilation?

This wind does not stop, and what is consumed is the military power of the Empire of Japan. How can we talk about the great cause of the Empire of Japan to dominate Asia and the Pacific.Emperor Hirohito was furious, and was about to order the severe punishment of the culprit, Ito Yanzaburo, when he suddenly calmed down and murmured in his heart, "It stands to reason. That Ito Yanzaburo didn't have such courage. The army didn't dare to do anything harmful. There must be a reason for the fundamental interests of the Japanese Empire!"

Let’s look at some generals who are filled with righteous indignation. They are all from the navy. This is a bit of a one-sided statement. The two groups of people who fought each other didn't quarrel until my head hurts. I can't get entangled with this matter!"

After making up his mind, Emperor Hirohito said slowly: "My dear ministers, stay calm for the time being and don't be impatient. The attendants will immediately summon Chief of General Staff Zairen to the palace. There are important military affairs discussions!"

Prince Zairen, who had already fallen asleep, didn't know that his elder brother, the emperor, called him into the palace in the middle of the night, why?He seemed to be in a hurry, and hurried to the palace by car. In the car, the chief of the general staff, Prince Zain, went through all the major events in his mind. The battle in the Southwest Pacific was extremely smooth. Ito Gensaburo had already Invading Australia and fully occupying Australia is just around the corner. There is no such thing as a hot house?

Prince Zairen frowned, racking his brains to guess the purpose of the emperor's elder brother summoning him. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Could it be that it was for the Navy's Second Fleet and Fourth Fleet in the Coral Sea. Regarding the enemy's mission, I have already seen this battle report, could it be that there has been a disturbance?"

In fact, what Prince Zairen saw was the report that the navy failed to complete the task of destroying the enemy. At that time, he secretly despised the navy, and he just snatched the task from the army. The result is really ridiculous , Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitsuru and Lieutenant General Okamura Masao directly delivered the processed reports to the Ministry of the Navy. Therefore, Prince Zairen has not seen it even though he is the chief of the general staff.

When he arrived at the palace, Prince Zairen understood all at once when he saw a few big men from the navy with unfriendly faces. He dared to love the emperor, and he pulled himself over in the middle of the night. After the report by Lieutenant General Zhe and Masao Okamura, he already knew it in his heart.

I am afraid there is something hidden in this. Even if Ito Gensaburo had the courage to do so, he would not dare to do that. As for saying that the high-level army had ordered it, it is even more nonsense. For me, if I give such a mentally retarded and bastard order, wouldn't that be courting my own death? Besides, the Minister of War, Koichi Minai, would not be so stupid.

After reading the report, Prince Zairen didn't say a word. Firstly, the emperor is present here. Secondly, the navy also knows that his butt is biased towards the army. If he speaks rashly, it means that our army's Zhang Muhe Excuse, no matter how reasonable the words are, the big bosses of the navy who have been dazed by anger will inevitably think in a wrong way, and come up like a swarm, accusing themselves of favoritism, which is also troublesome!

Seeing his Prince Zairen bowing his head and not speaking, Emperor Hirohito didn't know that he, the elf's younger brother, was so cautious, and cursed inwardly, "What a slippery guy!"

Nai, Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to ask: "Zairen, you are the chief of the general staff, what do you think about this matter, I want to hear your opinion!"

Greeting the man-eating eyes of the big bosses of the Navy Department, Prince Zairen said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is of great importance, and it is already a major event that endangers the national interests of the Great Japanese Empire. Before the truth is found out, it cannot be dealt with lightly. Should the commander-in-chief of the war zone, General Ito Gensaburo, be ordered to explain this? won the hearts of soldiers."

Several navy bosses were so angry that their eyes turned black. The younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, the current chief of staff of the base camp, simply wears the same trousers as the army guys. To be able to speak for the navy, unless a sow can climb a tree, but what they say makes sense, and the lawsuit also pays attention to face-to-face confrontation, and you can't listen to your own side of the story.

In fact, Emperor Hirohito also had the same idea, but he said it himself, as if he was arguing for the army, which was not conducive to his own control. If the navy had a grudge, it would not be beautiful. Now, set Prince Ren's suggestion is exactly in line with my wishes, "Zairen, you are the one to take charge of this matter, and you must come up with a fair statement that everyone recognizes and believes!" Emperor Hirohito said sternly.

Then, he turned his gaze to a few navy bosses who were full of thoughts, and asked kindly: "My dear friends, what do you think of how you treat me?"

A few navy bosses said for a while, my Majesty the Emperor, isn’t this nonsense? You’ve finished making all the arrangements, why are you still asking for our opinions? If you object in person, it’s your own bad luck, and you don’t want to mess around in the Great Japanese Empire. , "The ministers are willing to listen to His Majesty's holy order and object!" Several people suppressed their nausea and replied respectfully, but from the looks on their faces, they all had a feeling of being insulted by His Majesty the IQ!

General Ito slapped the table angrily. It was the telegram from the General Staff, asking him to explain the facts of the Battle of the Coral Sea. He sent the telegram of complaint from Baichuan and Gangcun without changing a word at the same time, in case he didn't know where to start and suffered from being dumb.

I also lost my temper, I finished cursing people, and I still have to do what I have to do. Not only Prince Zaijin, the chief of staff, is waiting to reply, but even His Majesty the Emperor is anxious to see the result, and the gang of the navy are holding on to this matter. Guys who don’t let go, General Ito has two big heads, looked at the silent chief of staff and said: "Kawashima-kun, how do you think about this matter?" [

When General Ito lost his temper and scolded his mother, Major General Kawashima was already thinking about how to return the telegram. Seeing his boss asking himself, he replied concisely: "General, my opinion is to report truthfully!"

Admiral Ito stopped mny, frowned and said: "Kawashima-kun, since the navy is so despicable and distorts the facts, why don't we send the commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, Yoshitoshi Shirakawa, and the commander of the Fourth Fleet Masao Guangang and Murakami underestimated the enemy, made mistakes in command, and reported the incidents that resulted in the failure of the mission. It is best to take the opportunity to drive these two guys out of the Imperial Japanese Army. Thinking of these two shameful guys, I am angry in my heart! I am ashamed to be with such people!"

Chief of Staff Kawashima said with a smile: "General, now is not the time for emotional disputes. We just need to report the situation truthfully. His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters will definitely come to a correct conclusion. If we take the opportunity to retaliate, we will end up being stingy." What's more, you are the commander-in-chief of the war zone after all. In name, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Navy are still under your command. They made such a low-level mistake, and you can't get away from it! Maybe, Jointly and severally liable!"

General Ito said unwillingly: "Could it be that Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Okamura Masao, these two shameful and despicable guys, are still in the army of the empire and continue to deceive and harm the interests of the empire?"

Major General Kawashima smiled indifferently, and said patiently: "General, after we reported the course of the battle truthfully, since we were not at fault, the only ones who were wrong could only be Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Lieutenant General Okamura Masao. Someone is responsible for this defeat, of course, not us, but the navy, they should give His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters a reasonable explanation!"

General Ito sighed, and said: "Kawashima-kun, I can always be persuaded by you, so let's do as you want!"
