Age of Rebirth

An urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, revealed that the Kwantung Army's three heavy-armed groups were wiped out by independent divisions on the Northeast battlefield, and the two were encircled in a precarious situation. The current situation of the disaster, and the memorial of General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, aroused the fury of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito.

It was not easy for General Mitsuto Mitsuto, who was very well-versed in the intense and verbal rehearsal. He knew His Majesty the Emperor too well. Moody, perched on the Dragon Throne, has a clear understanding of the intrigues and power scrambles of the military and political leaders within the empire, but does not stop them, but instead allows them to develop, but controls them within a certain range, is a master who is not easy to be deceived Son!

Today's events are too big, to the extent that the foundation of the empire is shaken, to the extent that the head of No. 1 in the imperial world, the Minister of War and the chief of the general staff of the headquarters, is not enough to make up for the loss, Koichi Minai has to double Therefore, after the performance, my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, my efforts were drained, my stomach was scratched, my spirit was in a state of high tension, and I almost collapsed.

Seeing His Majesty's expression relaxed, and the fierce light in his eyes subsided, Koichi Minai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, after asking himself, Koichi Minuchi didn't feel that he was deceiving His Majesty the Emperor, let alone sorry for the Empire of Japan, the root of everything , It all came from the bastard Meijin, if it wasn't for him, after a time bomb memorial came.There was no further text, so I didn't know about the situation in Manchuria, and I didn't suppress the memorial for nearly a month.And a lot of lies have to be invented to cover up the truth!

is it easy for me?General Mitsuko Minai hated Umezu Yoshijiro to the bone, so he had to be punished to the death. Even if his head was not used to appease His Majesty's wrath, Umezu Yoshijiro should always be kept away from the center of imperial power. The native one is remote and desolate.The deserted island, which is almost isolated from the world, spent the rest of his life in a military reformatory on the island. This person is too dangerous to do so by himself.It's also for self-protection!

This is also Koichi Yonei, under the aggressive eyes and tone of Emperor Hirohito, he can answer fluently, but.Obviously, Emperor Hirohito is not a fuel-efficient lamp.After calming down, he sat back on the dragon chair and asked casually: "Minei Aiqing, there is one thing I don't understand. You are a respected veteran and the person I rely on most, and I still need Aiqing to answer my questions. ..."

All of Minai Koichi's mind instantly entered a state of high tension and alertness.His ears froze and his mind raced.For His Majesty the Emperor, who does not play cards according to common sense and has eccentric thinking, he must gather all his energy, because you don't know, what is His Majesty the Emperor's next question?

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of a subject to share the worries of the Lord!" Minai Koichi said respectfully, his words were not much but just to the point, he was not in a hurry or impatient, and he didn't have an air of stinky fart because His Majesty was not ashamed to ask, this is Minai Koichi It is also the place Emperor Hirohito appreciates most.

Emperor Hirohito looked at the outside of the palace. In the dark night, his voice seemed to come from the darkness, "Minai Aiqing, I don't understand. As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro has the right to give a memorial, but why? Instead of presenting this memorial to me directly, but wanting to leave it in your hands? Wouldn’t it be superfluous and add to the misfortune?”

This is also what Emperor Hirohito couldn't understand. Before the Manchurian War situation was corrupted to the point of being unmanageable, this memorial was seen by himself. Umezu Yoshijiro must have been resigned from office and was classified as a result of another book. But with the Manchurian War situation, Step by step, according to his prophecy to become a reality, I will definitely know that it is not impossible to wait for Umezu Yoshijiro after wronging a talented general of the empire, and to take up a higher position.

Also, the base camp has never received a report on the situation in Manchuria. Minei Koichi did not lie when he secretly reported everything that happened in the base camp every day.

This is even more suspicious. As the situation in the Manchurian War gradually became unfavorable to the Kwantung Army, there was no response to the memorial. It stands to reason that Umezu Yoshijiro should have sent a telegram to the headquarters to report the situation in the Manchurian War. He has the right to play directly by himself, but Yoshijiro Umezu neither reported to the base camp nor played directly to himself, isn't it uncharacteristic?

It seems, it seems that all of this has something to do with this minister who is respectful and fearful in front of me. Yoshijiro Umezu, the idiot who made a mess of Manchuria, is now missing and his whereabouts are unknown. , many mysteries will be solved, Emperor Hirohito must ask this question, otherwise, his heart will be filled with panic, and at the same time, it will be a test of Minai Koichi's loyalty!

Emperor Hirohito's question seems peaceful and casual, but the trap is not known how deep it is. If I answer it directly, as the Minister of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Base Camp, Umezu Yoshijiro will naturally be unable to avoid it. It's bad, doesn't it seem that he is more powerful than His Majesty the Emperor, and the generals who lead the army outside have only Koichi Minai in their eyes, but not His Majesty the Emperor?

To put it lightly, is it a threat to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor? To put it more seriously, is it suspected of seeking power and usurping the throne?So, answering like this is asking for death, you idiot!

But if you answer as you guessed, in order to increase the weight of this memorial, it is not good to pull yourself, the No. Well, in this way, there is a suspicion of coercing power and self-respect, and His Majesty the Emperor has to make some kind of compromise if he comes forward. He may adopt some suggestions in the memorial, but what about after that?

Isn't this asking for bad luck and taboo? It has the meaning of forcing the palace. His Majesty the Emperor is a master of ups and downs. Coupled with his ruthlessness, he, the Minister of the Army and the Chief of the General Staff of the headquarters, entered the palace today with such a prominent status. Maybe, when he walked out the next moment, he was escorted into the prison car by the military police?

It is not appropriate to answer directly or to add one's own guessing answer, and it is not beneficial to oneself. Fortunately, before deciding on Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial and submitting it to His Majesty the Emperor, Yonei Koichi had already thought of his own countermeasures. His face Going up, showing an expression of extreme shame and pain, the voice is even hoarse and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid, please forgive me for being stupid and incompetent. This is exactly what I have been puzzled up to now!"

Terrific!Kouichi Minai's answer was brilliant and impeccable. Who knew that bastard Umezu Yoshijiro had a wrong nerve and sent the memorial messenger to me inexplicably?And did not use the right to play straight?Since His Majesty the Emperor, who is a demigod, can't figure out the thoughts of Umezu Yoshijiro, who is now missing, I, Ko Minai, as a subject, naturally can't figure it out either!

Apparently, Emperor Hirohito was very satisfied with Koichi Minai's performance, and the speculation in his heart dissipated. A smile appeared on his pale face. However, his expression darkened immediately, and he said painfully: "Aiqing Minai, the greatest pain I have now, There is no good strategy to save the war in Manchuria, if it is true as Umezu Yoshijiro said in the memorial, the appetite of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, is not only Manchuria, but also the Korean Peninsula and the Far East!"

"In this way, the empire's more than 200 million soldiers on the battlefields of the Far East and the Korean Peninsula are in danger, and the Kwantung Army is completely wiped out on the battlefields of Manchuria. It's too terrible. What can you do about it? strategy?"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor is no longer entangled in the matter of the memorial, Koichi Minai's heart was completely put in his stomach, and he finally passed this test without any danger. It is his own to solve problems for His Majesty the Emperor, and to devote himself to the hegemony of the Japanese Empire. Duties and responsibilities, Mi Neiguang had already thought up the countermeasures, he bowed deeply, and said: "Your Majesty, for the present plan, the only way is to call the military and political leaders of the base camp, the cabinet, and related departments, and immediately enter the palace to hold a meeting in front of the imperial court. Meeting, make a decision!"

"It's about the foundation of the empire, and the situation in Manchuria has deteriorated. The situation is critical and there is no need to delay. I believe that all ministers will express their opinions and offer suggestions!"

"Okay! Let's do it according to Aiqing Minui's proposal!" Emperor Hirohito admired, and admired Koichi Minui's calmness and attitude very much. Indeed, it was related to the foundation of the Japanese Empire and the life and death of millions of imperial soldiers. He did not take care of everything by himself and slap his head to make decisions, but proposed to hold an imperial meeting to brainstorm, this is the old saying of seeking the country!

"Your Majesty, I would like to obey the decree and inform the other ministers immediately!" Mi Neiguang bowed deeply and was about to leave. Being with His Majesty, he was really depressed. He took the opportunity to go outside to take a breath before replacing him. Sweat-soaked clothes are also a pleasure. This imperial meeting will definitely be a marathon. Maybe it will not end for a few days and nights. The problems are too difficult to solve. What's the matter with wearing sweaty clothes in preparation for the battle?

"Mine Ai, wait a minute. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, is missing, and the chief of staff, Matsuda Kenjiro, is too late to attend the imperial meeting. After thinking about it, I asked the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, to attend the imperial meeting. After all, he knows more about the situation in Manchuria than I and you!" Emperor Hirohito suddenly called Koichi Minai to give orders.
