Age of Rebirth

Not only the imperial meeting held by Emperor Hirohito, but also in the meeting attended by all Japanese military and political officials, as long as the two departments of the army and navy are facing each other, it will be a melee of unclear, constant cutting, and words. A problem that cannot be changed. People from the army and navy are like donkeys that cannot be tied to the same trough. They pinch each other when they meet, and they do not hide their differences and old grievances. Sometimes, even Emperor Hirohito has a headache. Extremely, nothing to do!

Naval Minister Nagano Shuzan, after some insinuations, Emperor Hirohito saw the Minister of War Minai Koichi, and immediately blushed, like a fighting cock, the hairs all over his body were blown up. , It was the beginning of the melee, and I made Minai Kokazu No. 1 in the imperial military circle. The senior members of the naval system are not too convinced!

On the surface, he didn't dare to violate his edict, but in his heart, he always thought that challenging Minai Koichi's authority was also a disguised way to express dissatisfaction with the naval system to himself, and Nagano Shuzan's words were too blatant, hurting People, the imperial meeting to study and solve the crisis in Manchuria can't be turned into a quarrel between the two factions of the army and the navy, spitting at each other, then don't do anything next, just listen to each other fighting!

Emperor Hirohito's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Nagano Aiqing, you have too many digressions. What I am asking is, do you have a strategy to solve the current situation in Manchuria, rather than commenting on the army!" He even gave Minai Koichi, who was already fully armed, a consoling wink, signaling him to be safe and not to be impatient!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor has come forward, Nagano Xiushan can no longer make progress, that is, he does not know how to advance and retreat, so let him accept it when he sees it. Moreover, he has really scraped off the face of the people in the army, and the purpose is also Reached.

Therefore, Nagano Xiushan showed apology on the surface and pride in his heart.He bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, and said in a seemingly self-criticism: "Your Majesty, it was my negligence that deviated from the theme of the meeting. However, this is also my humble opinion. I hope my colleagues in the army don't take it to heart. If there is one, change it, and if there is no one, encourage it!"

Nagano Shuzan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his words made the army officials, including Koichi Minai, disgusted as if they had eaten a fly.Nagano Xiushan did not give them a chance to explode, and then said: "In my opinion, the only way to solve the current crisis in Manchuria is to send enough troops to the Manchurian battlefield. Troops. Form an absolute advantage!"

"In this way, not only the besieged Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning and West Manchuria can successfully break through the siege, but also inflict heavy damage to Tang Qiuli's troops on the Manchurian battlefield to restore order in Manchuria, and... It can form a strong support for the Korean Peninsula battlefield in front of us. For this, our navy is willing to provide strong assistance and dispatch a fleet including two aircraft carriers to the Liaodong Bay and the Yellow Sea. Provide the Kwantung Army Air support!"

"Of course, this is just the navy's idea. The specific plans and decisions still need the royal approval of His Majesty. As long as His Majesty issues an order, the navy will act immediately!" Nagano Shuzan bowed to Emperor Hirohito with his face With a reserved expression.

Emperor Hirohito didn't speak, and after returning to the dragon chair, he just groaned silently. In fact, he knew that Nagano's method of repairing the mountain was the same as if he hadn't said anything. If there were enough troops, would he still hold this imperial meeting overnight? Listen! You guys are talking nonsense, I have already sent troops to the Manchurian battlefield, but, after all, Nagano Xiushan is the head of the navy, one of his right-hand men, and the important minister of the country, it is not easy to face to face Scold him, let out some useless farts!

While he was muttering, Minei Koichi spoke. Like Nagano Shuzan, he would never let go of any opportunity to attack the Navy. In his opinion, this guy’s suggestion is not as good as a fart, "Your Majesty, my lord! After finishing Nagano-kun’s suggestion, I absolutely dare not agree with it. Moreover, Nagano-kun does not understand the military situation in the country, so it is nonsense and wanton talk! Please allow me to explain it to Nagano-kun!” Miuchi stared at Emperor Hirohito, Said.

Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, had a big head at that time. He pressed it like this, but he still didn't hold it down. It's not appropriate to keep Mitsuko from speaking. After all, just now, Lu Jun's face was severely slapped I slapped it a few times, and besides, Nagano Xiushan's suggestion is not bullshit, and there needs to be someone with enough weight to refute it.

"Well, Aiqing Minai, if you want something, just say it!" Emperor Hirohito gathered his spirits, opened his ears, and was ready to accept a round of verbal bombardment.

As soon as Mi Neiguang walked to the front of the stage, he looked at Nagano Xiushan who was already seated. He sneered at first, and then said, "Mr. Yongye, I really doubt whether you are one of the important members of the headquarters, or whether your eyes are only on the navy. , I don’t know anything about the army, or even say it is indifferent, and, as an imperial soldier, you should not only consider aspects related to your own immediate interests, but also look at the entire empire!"

Nagano Xiushan's face suddenly turned cold, and his heart burst into flames, "You old guy, you don't have a back pain when you stand and talk, and you care about the army. Thanks to your fucking ability, I won't interfere in the army's affairs. You are still guarding against thieves, guarding against me all day long, if I intervene in the army, you old bastard, why don't you fight hard with me?"

But these words are usually the two people's intrigue and stumbling behind their backs. On this occasion, can they say it, but they can't let this old guy belittle himself, so Nagano Xiushan said with a cold face. He said in a questioning tone: "Minei-kun, why did my suggestion just now appear to be nonsense and wanton nonsense? I would like to ask Nagano-kun to explain a thing or two!"

Mi Neiguang was secretly happy in his heart, "I've been waiting for your words!" But with a sincere expression on his face, he said: "Mr. Yongye, it seems that you really don't understand the current situation of the Imperial Army. At present, the Imperial Army The reserve forces that can be mobilized are no more than 30 troops in ten first-class divisions, and a large part of them is about 20 people, who are recruits who have been recruited and trained for no more than two months!"

"May I ask Mr. Yongye, with more than 100 recruits who have been trained for less than two months, go to the Manchurian battlefield to face the more than [-] million tiger and wolf divisions of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli? Are you aware of this? Will you send naval recruits, who have just been trained for less than two months, to your fleet to fight against the Americans?"

"No, because of this, I really doubt whether Mr. Nagano, who has served in the imperial military for many years, understands the actual situation of the imperial army, or is he intoxicated by the series of victories of the naval fleet and the US Pacific Fleet? Little is known about the army who fought bloody battles for the empire on several battlefields? The navy almost spent more than half of the empire’s military expenditure in a year, and winning a few insignificant battles is the duty of the imperial army!”

Seeing that Nagano Xiushan's face turned purple, Miuichi Minai did not give up, but "humph!" sneered, and then said: "As for what Nagano-kun proposed, the Navy can send a fleet with two aircraft carriers to Manchuria to cooperate If the army is fighting, it is extremely naive and naive, which is greatly inconsistent with your distinguished status as the Minister of the Navy!"

Nagano Xiushan was so angry that his lips trembled, but Mi Neiguang didn't give him a chance to speak, "Manchurian battlefields are concentrated in Liaoxi and Ximan, and most of them are in the inland of Manchuria. May I ask, Nagano-kun, your warship can go on land to fight Just two aircraft carriers, but more than 100 carrier-based aircraft, can provide air fire support for the Kwantung Army? Mr. Yong Ye, do you know how many aircrafts Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division Air Force, had in his hands on the Manchurian battlefield? Fighter planes?—No less than [-]! Not counting other types of fighter planes!"

"Even if all the carrier-based aircraft of your navy were concentrated on the Manchurian battlefield, there wouldn't be so many fighter jets! What I just said, the suggestion of Mr. Nagano, is nonsense and wanton talk, is it excessive?"

Seeing that Nagano Shuzan looked like a rooster with its hair blown, Minai Koichi stopped the conversation just right, turned around and bowed to Emperor Hirohito, and said: "Your Majesty, my explanation is over! I will leave the rest to Your Majesty." understanding!"

Then, to Admiral Nagano Xiushan, who was almost vomiting blood, he seemed to be very sincere and sincere: "It is about the life and death of Manchuria, the foundation of the empire, and I dare not hide my secrets. Please forgive me for being outspoken and offensive. Forgive me, but out of consideration for the foundation of the empire, I also send a word to Nagano-kun, if there is one, I will change it, if not, I will encourage it!"

Well, what I said just now was returned intact by Mi Nei Koichi, and he slammed it on the face of Nagano Xiushan, the explosion made General Nagano stare at the stars, holding his breath in his chest, holding his chest, He could only stare at Koichi Minai with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth with vicious eyes, but he couldn't say a word.

Back and forth, the two top bosses of the Army and the Navy clashed, and it was basically a tie. Neither of them took advantage. ah!

Emperor Hirohito watched Nagano Shuzan and Minai Koichi fight each other, you give me a punch, I will kick you back, but he forgot the theme of this imperial meeting, and they revealed short fights to each other Face, like a street shrew, turned a sacred imperial meeting, my bedroom, into a place to attack each other, so angry that her hands and feet were cold, and she just wanted to scold her, but she endured it again and again. The two top bosses scolded their own mothers, and their faces were not good-looking, which contrasted with the fact that they were also improperly employed!

It seems that the military can't really count on it. Emperor Hirohito was disappointed for a while, and he yelled: "Enough, I don't want to hear any more words of criticism from each other, and I remind all my loves that the theme of the imperial meeting is to solve the crisis in Manchuria. , not to quarrel!"
