Age of Rebirth

Emperor Hirohito of Japan held an imperial meeting overnight to study and save the situation in Manchuria. It started with a memorial from Umezu Yoshijiro, commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and a telegram from Kenjiro Matsuda, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. Lieutenant General Sada, the acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau, jumped out to fire the cannons, and it took almost an hour. The venue was dull, and all the civil and military officials, like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, put their hearts on the sky and said nothing!

Emperor Hirohito looked at these treacherous and cunning ministers who were usually dignified, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, arrogant and dumb at critical moments, their hands and feet became cold, and their faces became colder and colder. A bad breath kept fermenting in his heart.

"Dear dear friends, don't you have anything to say? Then I will decide on a topic for today's meeting. Regarding the memorial of Kwantung Army Commander Umezu Yoshijiro, there is no need to discuss it at the meeting. I only have opinions. Today The meeting needs to study and come up with a solution, which is how to save the war situation in Manchuria! My words can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade, and I hope you can speak freely!" Emperor Hirohito said calmly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

The boss of the Great Japanese Empire, His Majesty the Emperor said all the words for this sake, it can be regarded as well-intentioned and earnest, but it is still useless, the following is still silent, it is not because he does not want to show in front of His Majesty the Emperor and other faction officials For a moment, this matter is too difficult. Manchuria is a mess. Everyone knows this from the telegram of the Kwantung Army Chief of General Staff Kenjiro Matsuda.

We are not the omnipotent Amaterasu, besides, we really didn't figure it out.A good strategy that can solve His Majesty's worries and problems, if you speak rashly, the result will definitely not be better than that Sada with a head full of dung!

Those present are all seasoned old turtles, old goblins who have survived the whirlpool of ups and downs in officialdom, turbulence and deceitful politics.It has some extraordinary concentration.Although I heard His Majesty the Emperor's words, I was so moved that I burned inside.But I don't want to be the first bird!

The one who is qualified to speak is still the No. 1 general in the Imperial Japanese Army, the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and the current deputy military affairs officer of the base camp, General Nanjiro.Of these two people, one is His Majesty's most trusted minister, and the other is a general who is familiar with the situation in Manchuria.

However, General Mitsuko Minai never spoke, but he was worried that His Majesty the Emperor would embarrass himself, because he had already communicated with His Majesty the Emperor before.Don't set the tone for the meeting, so that the ministers participating in the meeting can freely offer suggestions and brainstorm!

so.General Koichi Minuchi did not speak. After hearing what Emperor Hirohito said, Koichi Minuchi originally wanted to rescue His Majesty the Emperor and break the dullness of the venue, but after careful consideration, he really had nothing to say. The situation in Manchuria was obvious, and he was powerless , and there is no good way to solve the deadlock in Manchuria!

If the suggestions made are useless, I, the number one military man, will lose not only face, but also the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Lost!

As for General Nanjiro, he didn't want to talk about it at all. In fact, there is no way to solve the knot in the Manchurian war. However, this way will never be accepted by His Majesty the Emperor and the officials. Calm down and carefully analyze the memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro, the unlucky man. It is not unreasonable at all. At least, abandoning Manchuria to preserve the strength of the Kwantung Army is the best way to solve the crisis in Manchuria!

But who is Nanjiro? When he was the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he was known for his superb political skills. He knew very well that if he threw out this point of view on the spot, he would become a substitute target for Umezu Yoshijiro , those civil servants and military generals who are eager to perform in front of His Majesty the Emperor, can't catch that guy Meizu, can't they catch themselves at the venue, can they report themselves to eat on the spot!

What's more, once this suggestion is thrown out, I, who is afraid of avoiding the big fire pit of Manchuria, will not invite myself to jump into the fire pit, will I not ask for hardship, why bother, a thousand words, it is better not to say, even if you want to say , also got the best heat, or reached the point where it was unavoidable, so General Nanjiro made up his mind not to speak, and waited for changes!

After some low-profile and earnest words to attract others, but there was no response, Emperor Hirohito could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and stood up from the dragon seat with a "huh!", his eyes flashed with anger, and his voice was sharp but sinister He said: "Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, you don't want to talk, do you? You all know how to protect yourself, right? I am very saddened and very disappointed by your performance!"

"You are all the ministers I rely on, the pillars of the country, but when the empire is in crisis, you are silent. Even if I have a group of dogs, you will bark a few times. The usefulness is similar to nonsense, and it is also mixed with personal interests, but he still spoke after all, and he has the courage and loyalty to me of the Imperial Japanese Empire, and what about you?"

Emperor Hirohito's words became more and more harsh, and his tone became more and more sinister. His angry voice echoed in the huge bedroom. Unfortunately, that Lieutenant General Sada, after returning to his seat, his head was still blank. The sarcasm in the eyes, or the face of gloating, already made me feel uncomfortable and aggrieved enough, but this time, it's good that His Majesty the Emperor took it out as a negative teaching material!

Just after hearing what Emperor Hirohito said earlier, Lieutenant General Sada's head swelled up with a "buzz", his eyes went dark, and he fell into a coma on the chair. Unfortunately, he did not hear the praise from His Majesty the Emperor Otherwise, Sataka will think that everything he did today is worth it!

The officials around Sada were all overwhelmed by His Majesty's wrath of the dragon's face, his majestic power, sharp language, and gloomy eyes. They lowered their heads and dared not look directly. There is still a surplus of mental leaders there, pay attention A dignified Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army fell into a coma next to him because of a few words from His Majesty the Emperor!

"Nagano Shuzan, tell me, what countermeasures should be taken for the current situation in Manchuria?" Emperor Hirohito's angry voice suddenly changed, and he didn't want to go around in circles with these ministers, so he called names directly.

The one named by Emperor Hirohito was another giant in the Japanese military circle, the current Navy Minister, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, this is definitely a heavyweight boss, one of the three giants in the Japanese military circle, and he can compete with the Minister of the Army Miuichi Minuchi A character, the head of the naval system, his attitude is the attitude of the naval system.

His name was suddenly called by His Majesty the Emperor, General Nagano Shuzan stood up with extreme reluctance in his heart, bitter in his mouth and heart, secretly called bad luck, to be honest, he had nothing at all, meddling in the internal affairs of the army What's more, the situation in Manchuria is almost impossible to solve, and I have no good way!

But His Majesty called the roll call, and Nagano Shuzan could not avoid it. He bowed slightly to Emperor Hirohito, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, colleagues, the reason why the Manchurian war situation has reached the point where it cannot be dealt with today is entirely due to the army generals. The result of poor command can also be said to be the result of the people in charge of decision-making at the highest decision-making body of the army, and the result of ineffective monitoring of the Manchurian war situation!"

"If it was discovered early that our Imperial Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria were in danger of falling into the current dangerous situation, could we have taken precautions early? If we adjusted the deployment in time, there would be no such thing as today's Manchurian border. The nearly 20 soldiers of our Imperial Army have been broken. More than 100 million Kwantung Army soldiers in Ximan were encircled!"

"As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro dared to hide military information from the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of the Army ignored the situation in Manchuria for several months. The chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Matsuda Kenjiro, It was only after reporting to higher levels that the Manchurian war situation was at stake, so here I would like to ask, what was the Ministry of the Army doing before? If this is not negligence of duty, what is it?"

The words of General Nagano Shuzan are definitely adding insult to injury. The insinuations in it point to the head of the army system—General Mitsuko Minai. He alludes to his negligence, which immediately arouses the collective anger and anger of the army system generals. Hostile, all with fire-breathing eyes, glaring fiercely at the eloquent and eloquent general Nagano Xiushan, wishing to bite this bastard to death!

If eyes could kill, Admiral Nagano Xiushan would have died a thousand times. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't suppressed the venue, there would have been many senior army officers from the young and strong faction rushing forward to attack the navy. Minister, facing each other with old fists, first hit a pig's head, and can't take care of himself. He suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart: "When the hell is it? You bastard still don't forget to add insult to injury and suppress the army, villain! Absolutely!" It's the work of a villain!"

The head of the army system, General Mitsuko Minei, also had a cold face, his eyes were full of anger, and he was ready to stand up to face the provocation of Nagano Xiuzan and his downfall. If General Mineiguang went into battle shirtless and fought against his old enemy Nagano Xiushan, then, this night held The imperial meeting is another head-on collision between the imperial army system and the navy system, which is mixed with the two systems of the land and navy. The old grievances over the years, the old sesame seeds and the rotten millet are poured out. How can the hot-tongued scuffle and the meeting to resolve the crisis in the Manchurian war continue?

Emperor Hirohito is well aware of the filth, intrigue, and mutual favor that have existed between the army and navy systems for many years. In a sense, it is also the result of his own deliberate promotion, but at today's meeting, it must not appear Such a scene!
