Age of Rebirth

Something is wrong, something is wrong!More than a hundred Japanese military and political officials were arrested in the middle of the night by Emperor Hirohito's phone call, and they were detained in the Imperial Palace to attend the imperial military meeting. They thought that His Majesty the Emperor set the tone and came up with the theme, and everyone was chattering and blushing. Rough, spitting, or red-faced, tit-for-tat arguments, after expressing their opinions, His Majesty the Emperor made the final decision, and then went home after the meeting, and continued to sleep with his fragrant maid in his arms.

But as soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, he threw out such astonishing words. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and the chief of staff, one sent an urgent telegram, and the other quietly delivered a memorial. The majestic Minei's hands are clearly two trumpets, each playing its own tune. The Kwantung Army's high-level internal conflicts are huge. Could it be that Umezu Yoshijiro, who is the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and whose ass is not hot yet, has caused trouble? Big trouble?

Perhaps, the Kwantung Army's commander-in-chief may be replaced again, which means that the local high-level politics has another chance to reshuffle the cards. The officials who know Umezu Yoshijiro's bad temper are starting to stir in their hearts. , and even thought about it, the person who is going to be pushed out, his eyes are shining, and he has an expression of eagerness to try!

Only Koichi Yonei, who knew the truth of the matter, and Nanjiro, a treacherous and cunning man who had already smelled something ominous, frowned and looked thoughtful. Disgusted, another person who was extremely upset was Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting high on the dragon chair.I can see the expressions of the ministers at a glance, and I hate it secretly. "This is the ministers I rely on, just like seeing a dog with a fleshy bone! I think there is another opportunity to gain benefits for my faction!"

However, Emperor Hirohito felt a little comforted by the expressions of two people. One was Koichi Yone, whom he relied on the most. This is not surprising.The only person who knew the inside story of the critical situation in Manchuria, and the other one, was Nanjiro, the current Deputy Military Affairs Minister of the base camp.His performance made Emperor Hirohito secretly admire him. At least, Nanjiro was not like other ministers.Make me sick!

"My loves, don't guess in your mind, attendant, hand over Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial and Matsuda Kenjiro's telegram to your loves to read in turn! After reading it, you must express your own opinions!" Emperor Hirohito forced With the anger in his heart, he said in a cold tone.

It is said that the members who participated in the imperial meeting took turns to read, in fact.Those who are the first to see this memorial and telegram are a handful of twenty or so people.It was these people who represented Japan's core decision-making levels. After reading the telegrams and memorials, their complexions changed drastically, their hands trembled, their eyeballs were straightened, and they were dumbfounded.

To put it simply, the content of the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Kenjiro Matsuda’s telegram was just two words: “Terrible!” The Kwantung Army, the largest and most elite combat group in the empire's overseas colonies, has more than 150 million troops and nearly 20 troops on the northwestern border of Manchuria.

In the Liaoxi and Ximan areas of Manchuria, more than 100 million people were encircled. The three central cities of Manchuria, Fengtian, Xinjing, and Harbin, are all under the threat of independent divisions. Knowing the dangers of the Manchurian War, those senior Japanese generals knew very well that with the fighting power of the Chinese devil army, it would be difficult for the encircled imperial army to escape the end of the whole army, even the most elite Kwantung Army. !

Such examples abound, in North China, in Shandong Peninsula, in Songhu, in Guangdong and Guangxi, in Indochina Peninsula, in Singapore, in China. . . . . .Countless facts have proved that once surrounded by the Chinese devil's army, the fate will be very miserable. Countless famous imperial generals, such as Okamura Ningji, such as Matsui Iwane, such as Kazuki Kiyoshi, all fell to the ground in the Chinese devil's Tang Dynasty. At the hands of Qiu Li, she ended up buried in a foreign land.

Fighting directly against Tang Qiuli, the only imperial general who lost his life but saved his life is probably the only one who is leading the army now. In the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, he beat up the allied army. This man is an exception and an anomaly!

Therefore, the senior generals of the Japanese army all understood that the division of more than one million Kwantung Army troops into two places surrounded by independent divisions would be an unsolvable deadlock, and Manchuria would fall sooner or later. Officer Umezu Yoshijiro, this guy mysteriously disappeared after leading the army to the battle, and his whereabouts are unknown. Some officials couldn't help thinking viciously, "Is it Umezu, who saw that the situation in Manchuria was irreparable, and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he absconded in private? "

There are not a few high-ranking officials who hold this kind of thinking. After all, when Umezu Yoshijiro was in his hometown, he was very unpopular. He dislikes politics and claims to be the purest soldier in the empire. It seems that other people are not as noble as him. Anyone who wants to mention political issues in front of him will react more violently than giving him a cuckold. Such a person, such a style and Character, who can like him?

As for the memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro, in the eyes of these civil and military officials, it is not just a simple act of treason, it is simply heinous, abandoning Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula, the Far East, and the Yamato nation. The overseas territories that were hard-won after fighting with the Russians and the Chinese were handed over to the mortal enemy of the Japanese Empire—the devil of China, Tang Qiuli!

If all these are given up, the "Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", the grand plan of dominating Asia and competing with the European and American powers, and the dedication to getting rid of overseas territories and expanding the living space for the Dahe nation, wouldn't they all become a dream come true? In vain, those millions of imperial soldiers, why are they fighting desperately, why don't they just retreat to the Japanese archipelago?

Fortunately, he still dared to write such a memorial, and even dared to submit it to His Majesty the Emperor. Umezu Yoshijiro is no different from a national thief. It is also a murderous intent in their hearts, not to mention those senior military officers who lick blood with knives as their profession, they can't wait to drag Umezu Yoshijiro back to Tokyo and slash this bastard with a knife. It can be said that Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial has aroused public anger, so Forget, the Manchurian problem is even more serious than this!

Bursts of murderous aura disperse in the air, Miuichi secretly wiped his cold sweat, feeling more and more thankful for his clever actions, if Umezu Yoshijiro's messenger handed over the memorial to him, he would immediately send it to the Emperor Your Majesty, I am afraid that the current murderous aura will be completely borne by me. At that time, the war situation in Manchuria has not been corrupted to the present level. It is no wonder that I am not considered by these civil and military officials to be an accomplice of that bastard Meijin. ?

As for General Nanjiro, after reading these things, his heart was aroused. He already had a premonition that the situation in Manchuria was not optimistic, but he did not expect that it would be beyond control. No one knows that China devil Tang Qiuli better than himself.

At the beginning, General Ueda Kenji, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, was left sadly by Tang Qiuli, who was still the leader of the Bloody Hands. People and horses, appearing and disappearing, stirred up the flames of war in Manchuria, and there was never a peaceful day, which made me very anxious. At that time, Tang Qiuli's strength was still very weak, so I couldn't sleep at night.

Fortunately, I spared no expense to mobilize all the strength of the Kwantung Army, and at the cost of heavy losses, weaved a large net covering the whole of Manchuria. Sihu's subordinates squeezed out of Manchuria and into Guanli, and brought their distress to the then commander of the Imperial North China Dispatch Army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, and the successor commander Neiji Okamura.

After returning to China, General Nanjiro also imagined what would happen to him if Tang Qiuli, who buried more than 100 million imperial soldiers and more than ten famous imperial generals, remained in Manchuria?The conclusion is very cruel. I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of Kiyoshi Kazuki and Neiji Okamura. If I am lucky, I will step down sadly like Kenkichi Ueda and Nobuyoshi Muto. !

Therefore, General Nanjiro summed up for himself the years when he was the emperor of Manchuria. The greatest achievement and the most proud thing was not to wipe out the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, nor to tie Manchukuo tightly to the Japanese Empire. In the car, it is not to make Manchuria a strategic material base for the Japanese Empire to use troops in the Southwest Pacific, but to squeeze Tang Qiuli and his troops out of Manchuria at any cost!

As for Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial, General Minamijiro's reaction was not so intense. At least, he believed that although this person spoke nonsense, he should not be killed. From a military point of view, he suggested that the Japanese Empire abandon the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria and the Far East. , It is absolutely unacceptable, and it is not tolerated by His Majesty the Emperor and the soldiers, but from the perspective of a politician, in order to preserve the strength of the Imperial Army, it is not a bad idea.

It's just that Meizu Meijiro's memorial was submitted too late. If the memorial had a high gold content a month ago, now it is not only an afterthought, but also a bomb that arouses public outrage. Of course, for Meizu Meijiro However, Nanjiro didn't like him very much either. Whether he was in prison or still in power, he had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to risk the anger of the public to fight for him!

General Nanjiro decided to stay out of the matter. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the real purpose of today's imperial meeting. Suddenly, his whole body shivered, and cold sweat ran down his spine.
