Age of Rebirth

A memorial to the Emperor Yoshijiro Umezu, commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and a telegram from Kenjiro Matsuda, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, became the prelude to the meeting before the emperor, which was about the life and death of Japan in Manchuria.

Regardless of whether it was a memorial or a telegram, the impact and shock brought by the participating Japanese military and political officials were unprecedented. However, the water here is too deep, and they are all veterans of politics. Willing to shoot at the beginning, but there are those who don't believe in evil. Lieutenant General Sada, the acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau of the base camp, an insignificant character in the base camp full of stars and masters, jumped out and fired the first shot!

This made the civil and military officials slightly surprised. However, Lieutenant General Sada's generous speech did not achieve the desired effect. It was not that it was not touching, nor was it that it was not true, but that the angle of this guy's speech was wrong. In terms of the nature of the job, as the acting director of the Frontline Operations Supervision Bureau of the base camp, he has the right to supervise the operations of the frontline troops. From the perspective of the campaign, it is reasonable to finalize the crime of the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Umezu Yoshijiro who has committed public outrage. .

After all, the war situation in Manchuria was corrupted to the point of uncontrollable when Umezu Yoshijiro was in charge of the Kwantung Army. How can you say that Umezu is to blame, but when you Sada come up, start with his memorial and choose your target. Wrong, this has already involved the basic national policy of the Great Japanese Empire. You, a small lieutenant general, can speak freely. Besides, it is a bit chilling to yell at Umezu Yoshijiro nakedly. !

Furthermore, all the impassioned speeches are empty nonsense. It is obvious that from His Majesty the Emperor to our big bosses here, they will not agree with the suggestions put forward in Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial.Do you need to be so angry that your face looks like a pig's liver, as if you, Sada, are the only ones who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire?

What needs to be resolved now are the practical problems faced by the Manchurian War.Then ensure more than one million Kwantung Army soldiers.Don't be eaten by the troops of that Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, and ensure that Manchuria will not fall to Tang Qiuli's hands.And you, Sada, have a lot of nonsense and nonsense, how to solve the problem of Manchuria?

kill?Who knows how to kill, the Japanese imperial government minister here is not an expert in killing.Including which civil servants in suits and leather shoes, killing Umezu Yoshijiro and chopping him into meat sauce, can solve the Manchuria issue?what do you thinkWho can be impassioned, shouting, beating and killing? It is more proficient than you in playing, but can it solve the Manchuria problem?

What's even more ridiculous is that this fellow Sada proposed to His Majesty the Emperor.Escorted Yoshijiro Umezu back to Tokyo for court-martial, did he lose his mind, or was he kicked by a donkey?This guy Meijin is now missing.Whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, do you know?

Otherwise, it is still up to you to say that His Majesty the Emperor would have brought him back to Tokyo a long time ago. Leaving aside the crimes that caused the current situation in Manchuria, this memorial is enough for Meizu to lose his head. Therefore, what you Sada said , It's like a fart, it doesn't work at all, it's a waste of everyone's time!

There were two people whose moods were different from those of the other civil and military officials present at the meeting. After Lieutenant General Sada finished speaking, General Mitsuko Minai breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this guy who loves death didn't attack Myself!" As a result, General Minai, who looked like a hedgehog, put away his defensive stance, but he did not express his position immediately, because he saw a look of disgust and disappointment flashing in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Obviously, Sada did not Satisfy the Sacred Heart.

The other person is General Nanjiro. Unlike the relaxation of General Mitsuko Minai, General Nanjiro can't wait to strangle this bastard Sada to death. He proposed to send another senior general to Manchuria to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. It just happened to hit a sore spot in my heart. What General Nanjiro was most worried about was that His Majesty the Emperor would send him to Manchuria!

Even in the end, being forced into a corner and inevitably stepping into that pit of fire, it was not at the beginning of the meeting that the tone was set. Agreed, but it's good for this damned Sada, he stabbed him out with a stick, and made himself feel so embarrassed. Accepting orders in the face of danger is the most difficult job to do, and if there is not enough room for maneuver and conditions, how can he play?

General Nanjiro stared fiercely at Lieutenant Admiral Sada, who was expecting His Majesty's approval, his eyes were fierce, and he wished he could tear him apart. Eat hot and cold food, stick your mouth into it, and poke the pig's head, making your life worse than death!" Lieutenant General Sada, who was full of expectations, didn't know that he offended a big boss with just a few words, and he was also a heavyweight. , The boss with unpredictable methods!

Lieutenant General Sada's expectant and eager eyes, Emperor Hirohito, who is sitting on the dragon chair, can naturally see clearly, and he can see his thoughts clearly. However, this makes him even more disappointed and disgusted. What I need, It is a solution that can solve the current crisis in Manchuria, not useless nonsense, how to deal with Umezu Yoshijiro, it is not your turn to give me advice!

Emperor Hirohito looked indifferently, looked at Lieutenant General Sada, and said in a tone as calm as plain water, "You step back, we will discuss this matter later! I have my own opinion on how to make a decision!"

"Eh!?" Lieutenant General Zuo Tian felt as if he had been hit by a sap, the golden stars in front of his eyes were flying wildly, his face flushed from excitement turned sallow in an instant. I was the first to jump out and start shooting. I was originally speculative and adventurous, hoping to get the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, remove the word "agent" from my head, and even adjust to a department with more real power!

But I never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would react like this to his carefully prepared words. When His Majesty looked at him with disgust and disappointment, he did not hide it. Could it be that he did something wrong?

Lieutenant General Sada, with a sallow complexion and lost soul, walked back to his seat far behind the seat like a sleepwalker. What he saw was the disdainful, indifferent and mocking eyes of a group of high-ranking officers, and among them was a murderous look. , he looked over intently, it was General Nanjiro, the vice-officer of the military affairs of the base camp, and Sada himself was even more confused, his head was muddled, when did he offend His Excellency Nanjiro?

Except for Lieutenant General Sada, who was ignorant and opportunistic, fired a cannon and misfired, the ensuing imperial meeting was still suppressed and silent. The situation in Manchuria has been messed up. The painstaking efforts of several generations of the Japanese Empire and decades of painstaking efforts have been in vain. With His Majesty's vicious temper, he will never bypass him.

If he jumps out again and whips a dog who has no chance to stand up, it will not only arouse public outrage, but also lose face, and make others feel that he is a villain who has fallen into trouble. After all, he belongs to the same line of the Imperial Army , save some shame, everyone has a good face, in front of the navy and civil servants, those who crusade against the army, let them see a joke, there are a few guys like Sada with a head full of shit, so the army If you are silent, you really have nothing to say!

As for the navy department, they are holding an attitude of watching from the sidelines. The unlucky people in your army are none of our navy's business. On the contrary, it is a bit of gloating, but it is by no means that the Japanese Empire is about to lose Manchuria. It's the people in the army who are deflated. In comparison, our navy will shine much brighter. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, the newly formed Pacific Fleet of the Americans was beaten so hard that it dared not leave the port, and the logistics supply line of the Allied forces was cut off. It also ensures that the army will fight in Australia without any worries!

At this time, attacking the army system seems to be a villain, and it is not good for the navy system. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army cannot be appointed by someone from the navy system. Therefore, several heavyweights in the navy use The stern and sinister eyes warned the young generals of the navy that they were about to move.

People in the civil service system form their own system, and they usually don't deal with the arrogant Qiuba like the army and navy, and rarely interact with each other. People in suits and leather shoes have a sense of superiority psychologically compared to people in military uniforms, and they think they are civilized People are much more civilized than the soldiers who yell and kill at every turn. In fact, when carrying out the criminal activities of Emperor Hirohito's "Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", these people in the civil service system have blood on their hands , no less than Japanese soldiers, they often serve as the vanguard of Japan's foreign aggression!

However, for people in the military system and people in the civil service system, they don’t want to make trouble and get involved indiscriminately. This is not good for their own faction. If you don't have a civil servant, you will offend people in the army system. Is the loss outweighed? Besides, compared to the army and navy systems, the civil service system is in a weak position. After all, there are no guns in hand and hard fists. For the interests of each other, each does his own thing, and it is best to live in peace!

The three factions had different ideas, but they all chose the same approach and remained silent. Therefore, in the imperial meeting held late at night, facing the mess in Manchuria, no one said a word, just depressed and dull.

Emperor Hirohito's face became more and more ugly. More than 100 civil servants and generals were silent. This is also an attitude, but this attitude made him feel very uncomfortable and angry, and it was not what he wanted to see. situation.

The situation in Manchuria is so bad that people can't do anything about it. These are facts, but it's not the reason why you guys who are always loyal to yourself and the Japanese Empire are silent!
