Age of Rebirth

It should be said that Emperor Hirohito of Japan is still deterrent. With a loud roar, the sparks were jumping around, refusing to give in to each other, and all the fighting spirit in his body was activated. Admiral Nagano Xiushan, the number one boss in the army, immediately became dumbfounded. Knowing that the boss was unhappy, he hurriedly bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito with a look of fear on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down, I am waiting for Meng Lang." , Your Majesty is impolite in roaring before the imperial court, please punish me!"

"Forget it, the two lovers should not blame themselves too much. Remember, quarreling can't solve the problem. My grand plans and great achievements, the future and destiny of the empire, still need the work of the two lovers. Sit down!" Emperor Hirohito also stopped, Satisfied with his authority, he was so angry that he dissipated in smoke. Besides, he really couldn't do anything to these two important ministers!

Since the army and the navy can't count on it, Emperor Hirohito's eyes naturally fell on those civil servants. Maybe these civil servants will have some unexpected clever tricks, such as playing dirty tricks, turning black and white, full of Stomach ideas, but better than soldiers!

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's eyes full of anticipation, falling on himself, watching the fire from the other side, holding the attitude of having nothing to do with himself, watching the civil servants who are pinched by the army and the navy, naturally he can't be a coward, the number one civil servant Dude, Masamune Ito, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Japanese government, stood up modestly and gracefully like a gentleman, walked to the front, bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, and said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion to suspend the situation in Manchuria and continue." Get worse!"

Yidong Zhengwen is an old and cunning guy, he left room for himself when he opened his mouth, he didn't talk about solving the crisis in Manchuria, but postponed the deterioration, so as not to talk too much, and be attacked by the two factions of the army and navy, and quarrel with these rude warriors , even if you win.It also damages one's own reputation, and offends a large group of people, isn't the gain not worth the loss!

In fact, the current situation in Manchuria, in the view of Masamune Ito, is basically a dead end, and no one can make a difference.But since His Majesty the Emperor pinned his hopes on civil officials, if he didn't come up with some solutions, wouldn't he be underestimated by these gangsters?

Even though Masamune Ito's words were reserved and euphemistic, it was as beautiful as the sounds of nature to Emperor Hirohito's ears, and he had seen useless quarrels between the ministers of the army and navy.His words undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope. He leaned forward and said impatiently: "Aiqing Yito, please tell me what suggestion you have. Just say it. It doesn't matter if you speak bluntly, I will take it with all my strength!"

Masamune Ito bowed gracefully, and then said: "Your Majesty, my minister's suggestion is, why not ask the Germans for help in the name of the imperial government, and ask the Germans to come forward to mediate the situation in Manchuria. We are allies, morally and militarily. , all have the obligation to support each other, judging from the comprehensive information of the ministers, Hitler, the head of state of Germany, does not want to send the devil Tang Qiuli to power!"

"After all, Tang Qiuli occupied Outer Mongolia. He also cut off more than three-quarters of Siberia's territory from the Soviets. He is still in the Far East, fighting fiercely with the Empire's Far East troops. For those who really want to take over the Soviet territory, pretend Hitler, who put it in his own pocket, must feel uncomfortable, we can agree to Hitler, and after the situation in Manchuria is stabilized, we will share the territory of the Far East with the Germans equally!"

"In this case, Hitler will definitely come forward. The content of our Empire of Japan's request for mediation is also very simple. To maintain the status quo in Manchuria, with Tang Qiuli's troops and the Kwantung Army's respective occupied areas as the boundary, the two sides will negotiate a ceasefire, including the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. In the Far East battlefield, our Great Japanese Empire also uses the current warring area as the ceasefire boundary, so that the imperial army can get a chance to recuperate!"

Seeing that Emperor Hirohito sometimes frowned and sometimes thought deeply, while the warriors in the army and navy raised eyebrows, looking as if they were going to rush up and whip him, Ito Masamune sneered in his heart, "That's right. A group of warriors who only know how to kill and set fire, don’t understand the principle of trade-offs, if they want to mobilize Hitler, who is more greedy for territory than His Majesty the Emperor, can they do it without paying the price, why should the Germans stand up for the empire?”

Emperor Hirohito is also hesitating. Judging from the war situation in Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula and the Far East, the imperial army is at a disadvantage. Masamune Ito's suggestion is a feasible strategy. At least, if the fire is ceased in Manchuria now, the more than 100 million Kwantung Army can be saved. , It is much better to keep the southern part of the Korean peninsula and more than one third of the Far East than to fight without hope and lose everything!

On the other hand, Emperor Hirohito is also heartbroken and hopeless. What hurts his heart is that he cut off so much flesh from his body at once. It hurts so much that he bleeds. If it is not in front of more than 100 ministers Son, Emperor Hirohito can cry out loud!

What is uncertain is that even if half of the land in the Far East is taken out, whether the Germans can come forward to mediate, and whether Hitler is willing to help this is not sure. Emperor Hirohito knows the reason well. At the beginning, with When Germany formed an alliance, one of the most important conditions was that Japan send troops to the Eastern Asian part of the Soviet Union, march east and west with the Germans, attack the Soviet Union, and join forces under the city of Moscow.

But how did I do it? I saw that the oil and water of the islands in the Southwest Pacific, which are rich in products, is much thicker than the bitter cold land of Siberia in the Soviet Union. People were beaten to the point of dying, and their strength in the Pacific Ocean was greatly damaged, let alone taking advantage of the opportunity, so they used all their military strength to fight against the Allied Forces in the Pacific Ocean. Hit!

When Hitler attacked the Soviets, he didn't help at all. He patronized the Southwest Pacific Ocean, attacked islands and land, and made a fortune. Hitler found the mortal enemy of the Japanese Empire, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, speaking of it, I betrayed my trust first, now, how can I still have the face to ask the Germans to come forward? Even His Majesty the Emperor, who doesn't take his own face seriously, finds it difficult to say this!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was silent, and Ito Masamune did not urge him, a lieutenant general of the navy couldn't help but stood up and asked loudly, "Your Majesty Ito, I absolutely do not agree with your suggestion. How is it fundamentally different from the Umezu Yoshijiro memorial of the Army?"

"It is also at the price of giving up the overseas territories that our imperial soldiers exchanged with blood and lives. This is a proposal that insults the spirit of our soldiers' Bushido, and it is a proposal that doubts the will of the imperial army to fight. The imperial soldiers have the confidence to continue fighting, whether it is In Manchuria or in the Pacific Ocean! Imperial soldiers, never make peace with that devil of China whose hands are stained with the blood of imperial soldiers!"

This vice admiral, known by Ito Masamune, is called Yasutani Rensuke, and is a deputy chief of the Navy Command. Not long ago, he was dispatched from the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet Command, which was fighting fiercely with the US Pacific Fleet on the Eastern Pacific battlefield. When I returned to China, I followed Yamamoto 56 for a little bit of light, and it was very stinky. Or Minai Koichi was right, and after a few insignificant victories, I don’t know how powerful the sky is, and what to fight?

Masamune Ito glanced at Rensuke Yasuya coldly, and his tone was as calm as a baby just waking up, "General Yasuya, His Excellency Minet Koichi has already said about the situation of the local armaments, didn't you hear that?" I have never doubted the samurai spirit of the imperial soldiers, as well as the courage and determination to dedicate themselves to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. So, I asked Lieutenant General Yasuya, based on the current situation of the reserve forces of the local army and the current situation of the Manchurian Kwantung Army, what would you choose? Why fight Tang Qiuli?"

"Uh!" The mighty Vice Admiral Yasuya of the Navy suddenly lost his temper. His face was like a purple eggplant, and he wanted to refute Yito's words, but he couldn't come up with strong reasons. Ah, what are you going to use to fight that vicious Chinese devil? You need money to fight!

Emperor Hirohito spoke, "Aiqing Ito, your proposal is very feasible, but what I am worried about is that the Germans do not want to offend that nasty Chinese devil, Tang Qiuli, and refuse to stand up for us. Furthermore, if the Far East One-half of the land in the region cannot satisfy the appetite of the Germans, and Hitler makes another request, what should we do?"

Ito's main text is still not in a hurry, "Your Majesty, is there a better way besides this? Since there is no, why not try it. If the Germans have too much appetite, it is a big deal that we withdraw the request, and the Germans will also consider it." , You only need to move your mouth to get huge benefits, I believe that Hitler will be tempted!"

"However, in order to prevent what your Majesty is worried about from happening, we can't pin all our hopes on the mediation of the Germans. We also need a general who is familiar with the situation in Manchuria and has rich military command experience to take over the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. In order to try to turn the tide, but your Majesty, the ministers are not optimistic about using military means to save the situation in Manchuria. The situation is obvious. The current situation of the Kwantung Army is very bad. The telegram of Matsuda Kenjiro also illustrates this point. It is always good to be prepared with both hands of!"

Ito Masamune’s words were still reserved, but they covered everything, and Emperor Hirohito couldn’t help sighing and thought: “I really didn’t pick the wrong person. After all, the civil servants have a lot of tricks. I thought of borrowing foreign aid. No matter how I say it, it is also a solution to the crisis in Manchuria. !"

Emperor Hirohito immediately said: "Okay! Ito Aiqing, I will entrust you with full power to deal with the Germans. As the plenipotentiary representative of the empire, I will negotiate with the Germans. My bottom line is what you put forward. The Germans divide the territory of the Far East equally!"

But who is the right candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army?Emperor Hirohito was worried again. At this time, Lieutenant General Sada, the acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau of the base camp, who woke up, listened for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. one person!"
