Agents of the Republic of China

The Tokyo Imperial Palace, the underground bunker rebuilt by the Imperial Library, although the area is very large, but it has been in it for a long time, which makes people feel very depressed. Especially, the frequency and number of bombings by the Allied forces are increasing these days. Emperor Hirohito and his entourage Had to stay here for a long time.After a long time, it is even difficult to judge whether it is day or night.

It was another round of long imperial meeting. Emperor Hirohito and several of his confidant ministers were worried about the current corrupt situation, but the quarrel continued.

Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonei proposed to end the war this morning. This is not a new argument. Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki and Minister of Foreign Affairs Matoku Togo had proposed it at the imperial meeting more than a month ago, but it was opposed by the Army.

This time, it is no exception.

As soon as the issue was raised, the Minister of War Anan Yuji and Umezu Yoshijiro stood up and refuted it. "Our army still has the strength to fight!"

"How to fight? Kyushu is already in chaos. The garrison troops have been reluctant to accept the order of the base camp to suppress the rebellion. The rebellious people are like a wildfire. They should discuss peace with the allies while dispatching elite troops back to the mainland to quickly put down the rebellion and stabilize the country. People's hearts!"

"The disease of scabies is nothing to worry about!"

……

"That's enough", Hirohito jumped up, "Don't talk too much, my lords, I will make my own decision on the matter of war!" The entire room fell silent, and the emperor, as a holy monarch, could not discuss with him in the right imperial meeting. The cabinet ministers' conversations were usually conveyed by the ministers, but today, when the emperor spoke, the ministers heard the emperor's reprimand and realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Emperor slowly straightened his waist, his entire face was covered in the sunlight projected by the ventilation holes, and everyone realized that Hirohito's complexion was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. "How can the chaos in Kyushu be taken lightly? Don't all the ministers know the slogans put forward by the rioters? This scene is so similar to the situation in Showa 11, shouldn't it be taken as a warning?"

The important ministers all lowered their heads.

"The country's affairs are difficult, and I should take full responsibility. If necessary, it's a big deal, a big deal, I just abdicate!" Hirohito said word by word.

"Your Majesty can't do it!" The important ministers turned pale with shock.

Suzuki Kantaro nodded again and again, "Your Majesty can't, it is because of difficult national affairs that you need Your Majesty to rule the world. Your Majesty has been in power for so many years, and the martial arts and martial arts have brought the empire to its peak. Setbacks, Your Majesty must not think about it!"

Hirohito's eyes lit up, and he stared closely at Suzuki Kantaro.

Suzuki Kantaro continued: "Prince Hatohiko Asaka Palace is only obsessed with martial arts and eager to make achievements, so he said those words. Your Majesty must not mind it!"

Yuren snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he might not think so in his heart!"

Anan Yuji and Umezu Yoshijiro hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the army will definitely put down the chaos in Kyushu as soon as possible, and we will never let others use this as an excuse to attack Your Majesty!"

Yu Ren looked at the important ministers, and sighed softly, "Okay, the imperial meeting is over, there are only a few of you here, and you don't have to hide it, just say what you have to say."

Suzuki Kantaro exchanged glances with everyone, but no one spoke first.

Yu Ren didn't look at the crowd, but raised his eyes to look out of the window, and then said to himself: "To be honest, King Jiuyan is just a warrior, I would like to believe that he was used by others, but the other words Just reminded me, where are the other suitable people?"

Hirohito's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting several important ministers in the room until their eyes were full of gold stars, and they couldn't help feeling dizzy.Yuren's words meant something, several people could hear clearly, but this is a royal family matter, once a courtier expresses his opinion, there is no turning back.

Hirohito sighed softly, "It would be great if Qing Doihara was here, he will definitely give me a reasonable suggestion!"

Everyone had to cast their eyes on the sweaty Prime Minister Suzuki Kantaro, Suzuki Kantaro had no choice but to reply: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, those people are also under our control, and nothing will happen to them! "

After saying this, Suzuki Kantaro felt that all the strength in his body was taken away in an instant.What Emperor Hirohito feared was his three younger brothers, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito, Prince Chichibu Yongren and Mikasa-miya Takahito. Takamatsu Nobuhito was modest and honest, and had a close relationship with the generals of the naval faction, but he did not deliberately cultivate himself Mikasa Gong Chongren is a very active person, with good relations with various political factions, a wide network of contacts, and a good reputation among the people; the most outstanding one is Chichibu Gong Yongren.

In the early years, Hirohito and the Empress had four daughters in a row, and all walks of life in the country took Yongren as the first heir. Moreover, Yongren was enthusiastic and made a big splash in various activities of the royal family, especially when he was led by Araki Sadao The strong support of the Emperor's sect, claiming to abolish the government and attribute all power to the emperor, and it is very intriguing to think who this emperor is referring to.Fortunately, after Prince Akihito was born, Hirohito, who had been worrying about the heir to the throne, breathed a sigh of relief, but the ensuing February [-] incident made him break out in a cold sweat.Almost, his throne will be lost.

Therefore, during these years in power, Hirohito kept a close watch on his younger brothers, and at the same time resorted to militarism, constantly going out to fight, which is caused by the mentality in his heart that he desperately wants to realize his self-worth.He wanted to prove that Emperor Taisho's choice was not wrong, and that he was the emperor of the empire through the ages.

However, things in the world often do not change with people's will. The gambling of the past, the three eastern provinces became spoils of war and fell into the hands of the Japanese overnight, and then there was the arrogance of "destroying China within three months". Now, the Japanese army is precarious on all fronts, and even the country is beginning to be in turmoil. All this makes Hirohito have deep doubts about himself and fear for the future, especially the slogans put forward by the rioters, which once again tore his heart. With that wound, he began to turn his eyes back to his throne.

Doihara Kenji is not an excellent general, but he is an outstanding intelligence officer.He took care of all these private matters before, and Suzuki Kantaro only came into contact with some of them after he left office, including the monitoring of several princes.

This time, Hirohito insisted on bringing this matter up in front of the important ministers, just to beat these courtiers who hold the most important power in the empire, and it is absolutely impossible to want both sides of the head.

Looking at the submissive and sweaty expressions of the important ministers, Hirohito felt very satisfied. As long as the government and the army are still under control, there will be no major problems.

"Have you confirmed the counter-insurgency troops dispatched to Kyushu?" Hirohito changed the subject with satisfaction.

Umezu Yoshijiro wiped the sweat from his brow, "Report to His Majesty, it is confirmed, it is part of the No.15 Division, and has already set off."

Hirohito nodded in satisfaction, "I have decided to start the final battle. Now that I am negotiating peace with the allies, I will definitely get the most humiliating conditions. The imperial army still has the power to fight. Even if the allies want to land on the mainland, they will inevitably suffer great losses Casualties, I just want the Allies to realize this, and then it is the best time to negotiate!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

The footsteps of the ministers gradually disappeared, and Michio Kinoshita, the deputy chief of the attendant beside Hirohito, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see him now?"

Hirohito only felt sore all over his body, and an indescribable sense of fatigue permeated his whole body, but he still nodded.

After a while, a figure walked into the room, and Michio Kinoshita closed the door from the outside.

Hirohito quietly looked at the person who slowly walked in front of him and bowed to salute, with a smile on his face, "Mr. Yoshio Kodama, thank you for your hard work!"

Yoshio Kodama raised his head, "It is an honor to serve Your Majesty!"

"Is there any news?" Yuren asked eagerly.

Yoshio Kodama stood up straight, "I have contacted the US side, but they have not given a specific answer so far. They just urge us to accept unconditional surrender as soon as possible."

Yuren was a little disappointed.The result of the war is irreversible, but the foundation of the empire must not be discarded. Once the unconditional surrender proposed by the allies is accepted, it will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered. Besides, although the Russian army has already invaded Poland, European The war is far from over, the decision just now is correct, the empire can still persist, for the sake of the throne, for the sake of its children and grandchildren, it must persist.

"Then what do they think of the question I raised before?" Hirohito then asked.

"They also didn't make a statement. They are also observing. I'm sorry to say that after the war, the United States and Russia will become the two newly rising powers in the world, and Asia will also become the place where they compete. Therefore, their respective Asian policies are constantly changing. In the midst of adjustments. I believe that if we can put more effort into the US military’s Asia policy, or become part of their Asia policy, maybe they will have an interest in maintaining the emperor’s status and system.”

Yoshio Kodama's words were very direct and bold, which made people very surprised that a person with a gang background would have such an opinion. He really did not choose the wrong person at the beginning.

Hirohito nodded thoughtfully, Kodama Yoshio's words were very insightful and worth thinking about.

After a long while, Yoshio Kodama spoke again, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report. The goods from Shanghai have arrived in Hong Kong again. Do you want to bury them in the Imperial Treasure House in Kanto?"

Hirohito nodded, "Let's do it like this. In addition, Qing Doihara made a suggestion to me. In view of the current war situation, it is time for the Golden Lily Project to come to an end, and the goods in China have almost been delivered. Next, we will I have to work hard for you to go to the Philippines, where the treasures of the entire Southeast Asian country are concentrated, and then I will trouble you to transport them all back to the mainland safely!"

Yoshio Kodama lowered his head sharply, "Hey, I will do my best to serve His Majesty!"
