Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 586 Tojo Cabinet
"Your Majesty, the Great Empire must win! It must win! It must win!" A young man who seemed unable to control his emotions stood up and rushed towards the Emperor excitedly. The military police on the side stepped forward to stop him.

The young man seemed to be drunk, waving his hands in the air, staring straight at the emperor, and stumbling towards the emperor with chaotic steps.Seeing that the gendarmes were not far away from him, he stopped, hugged himself tightly with both hands, trembling and shouted: "Don't grab me! Don't grab me!"

It was crazy, and there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but people kept their mouths shut as it seemed that laughter was not the right thing to do on this occasion.No one expected that the young man suddenly pulled out a short gun from his arms!

boom!A gunshot shocked everyone, and Hirohito could clearly hear the sound of bullets flying past his ears, "Assassins! There are assassins!" He squatted on the ground and shouted loudly, ignoring the majesty of the emperor.After all, no matter how majestic it is, it is not as good as your own life.

"Catch him quickly! What are you doing there!" The Guards officer roared, and the gendarmes woke up from their astonishment.

"Come on! Let's see what the guards have done!" The young man regained his insane temperament and threw a stack of printed materials into the air. The wind blowing from the west blew these pieces of paper spread out.The young man was quickly knocked down, with a tired smile on his face.

Hirohito picked up a stack of leaflets and looked at them. It denounced the launch of a stupid war and pushed the country to the brink of destruction. It also said that it strongly demanded that the Konoe Fumimo Cabinet be responsible for this matter, and asked Emperor Hirohito to give the people an explanation .

Hirohito was furious, and gritted his teeth and said to Konoe Fummo: "This man is a scum of the Yamato nation. Does he want to represent the entire nation by himself? It is absolutely impossible. The vast majority of the citizens support it. The Great Empire will always be monolithic." There is no need to interrogate anything, this man must have been bewitched by the Chinese to betray his own country, shoot him, immediately!"

"Pa, pa" several gunshots, and this "scum" was shot dead on the spot.

Emperor Hirohito was not much affected by this incident. He raised Konoe Fummo's hand high with both hands, and said to thousands of citizens: "I swear here, I swear to live and die with Tokyo! Victorious!"

"I swear to live and die with Tokyo! I swear to live and die with His Majesty the Emperor!" The people in the square raised their arms and shouted, and they all cried out loudly, crying like crazy.

Back in the inner palace, the emperor’s face was not so kind. He sat on the throne and angrily scolded Fumma Konoe and the others: “Before the war, you swore that you would unite with North Korea to defeat China. What is the result now? What I want is the result.” !Bastard!"

Konoe Fumma leaned down very low, facing the floor and sighed heavily, complaining in his heart: It was also your permission to launch a war against China, and now it is all my mistake.

"Now, you must come up with a plan. In short, I don't want the damn Chinese to appear on the land!" The emperor roared hysterically: "If you can't do it, I will dismiss the cabinet and re-select a capable one." People. Bastards! Bastards! Bastards!"

Konoe Fummo was scolded for his bloody sprayer, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He swept his eyes and saw Lu Xiang Hideki Tojo lying on the left, and said to Hirohito: "Your Majesty, the general policy of fighting against China is Tojo-kun. I strongly advocate the proposal, I think it is time for him to come up with a defense plan?"

Hirohito put his eyes on Hideki Tojo's face, and said in a deep voice: "Hideki Tojo, tell me, I remember that you were the most confident minister before the war started."

"What Your Majesty said is that the glory of the Great Empire cannot be destroyed in our hands." Hideki Tojo's tone is still sonorous and powerful, "Now that the navy is newly defeated, the Chinese army should soon start attacking Nagasaki. Even directly attacking Tokyo, these, we should do a good job of defense. In terms of foreign affairs, foreign affairs should strive to win the support of the German government to send troops. Please believe in Tojo for the last time, His Majesty the Emperor, Tojo will definitely not let Tokyo, let His Majesty, let The great empire is ashamed. As soldiers of the empire, sometimes we have to have the courage to do something extraordinary, like jumping off the platform of Kiyomizu Temple, just close our eyes." Tojo meant that he would Will defend with death.

The emperor had closed his eyes at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Konoe Fummo raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the Korean War, so I request to be dismissed, and Your Majesty will choose someone else."

Hirohito slowly opened his eyes, looked at Fumma Konoe and said, "Well, since you can't take on this important task, Hideki Tojo will take your job."

Fummo Konoe finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to take on this mess anymore, and he couldn't stand Hideki Tojo's arrogance. He just took this opportunity to hand over the mess to that idiot, and he lost in the Korean War. Afterwards, he said to his confidants more than once: "Anyone on the verge of war needs a fool who has landed mines as a sign, and Hideki Tojo is the best candidate."

After this imperial meeting, the Konoe Fumimo Cabinet was announced to be disbanded, and Hideki Tojo was appointed as the new prime minister. With all kinds of power in one body, he became the leader of the new real power faction.

After the cabinet was formed, Hideki Tojo urgently summoned a group of confidants such as Iida Shojiro, Honma Masahiro, Imamura Jun, and Yamashita Fengfumi to discuss the combat policy.

The tone of the strategy is very simple. Since part of the army has been corrupted, without the support of the navy in the Hokkaido War, the two northern divisions led by Prince Akihito Komatsu are almost irreparable, and there is basically no hope of winning.

It is worth noting that there are three army mixed divisions with 5000 people on the front line of Nagasaki and Kyushu Island, which are the essence of the Imperial Army. Two divisions must be recovered to Tokyo as soon as possible, and one division should be left behind. Mobilize armed civilians to form a Nagasaki garrison of 2 people.

In this way, the tightening of the defense circle is basically completed. Around the capital of Tokyo, 13 defensive troops will be deployed. At the same time, wartime military service will be launched, and 15 to [-] new soldiers will be urgently armed. It is impossible for the Chinese to pose a threat to Tokyo. Substantial threat.

Of course, preparations must be made in Tokyo Bay. If necessary, the remaining naval forces will be urgently used to complete the task of densely laying mines, hoping to minimize the huge threat China's maritime superiority poses to Tokyo.

The emperor also delivered a national speech the next day, calling on all citizens to prepare for the great empire's resistance to aggression, and to fight against the Chinese people who plotted against the great empire.

The sun shines on the jagged, satin-like sea. A huge fleet of more than forty ships is slowly heading east. This is the first Chinese fleet to sail from this area to the mainland.

"Fishing with anger, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain. Looking up, looking up to the sky and screaming, with strong ambitions. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road clouds and moons. Don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, empty grief! Jingkang shame, It’s still snowing; when will the hatred of the courtiers disappear? Drive a long car and step through the gaps in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, and talk about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu with a smile. Wait for the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky!” This time the vice president of the Imperial Navy Department Chief of Staff Deng Shichang personally led a Nanyang Fleet to Nagasaki Port to support the Beiyang Fleet staying there.In the command room of the flagship Zhonghua 2 on which he was traveling, there was the song Manjianghong written by the emperor.He solemnly read out the poem, looked at Zhang Zuolin solemnly and said, "Yuting, you and I have different paths by sea and land, but the emperor's hope is the same. This song Man Jianghong is imperial system, is When the emperor left for the expedition, each word was written by the emperor's royal pen, representing the emperor's ardent hope, and Deng dared not forget the slightest bit."

When Zhang Zuolin heard the word "imperial system", his expression became serious. He bowed respectfully to the word for a few times, then cupped his hands and said to Deng Shichang: "Zuolin also dare not forget the holy family for a moment. Zuolin will do his best. Let Master Deng drive."

"Yuting is too modest." Deng Shichang smiled and said: "In this battle against Japan, Deng is in charge of the navy, and Yuting is in charge of the army. You and I work together in a division of labor, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates. Haha. Yuting's recent victory, the emperor I'm afraid that Yuting will lose his motivation to lead the army, so let me show you this poem. You and I will work together to destroy the pirates and repay the grace of the saint. What an honor it is. The emperor can put such an important Entrusting the errand to us also shows the emperor's trust in us, if you and I can make such a great achievement, how can we be shocked even if we die?"

"Deng Gongjiao regrets it." Zhang Zuolin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he got up, and solemnly knelt down to the west: "My minister, Zhang Zuolin, is willing to assist Deng Gong in making this peerless feat. If there is any neglect, I will accept the thunder." punishment."

Hearing this, Deng Shichang didn't dare to sit any longer. He got up and went to Zhang Zuolin's side and said, "Yuting doesn't need to be humble. Deng's virtue is superficial, so how dare he surpass Yuting. But this time, the emperor ordered me to report to Yuting. Pass the decree, kneel down and receive it."

Zhang Zuolin straightened his clothes, knelt down again and said, "My minister Zhang Zuolin accepts the order."

"Zhang Zuolin, commander-in-chief of the Japanese hunting team, defeated the Japanese pirates, raised the country's prestige in the sea, and fought hard to pacify the barbarians. He was promoted to the rank of general of the second rank. After winning, there will be other rewards. Every soldier of the Japanese hunting team should be a meritorious soldier." Zhang Zuolin This is the report." After Deng Shichang announced the decree, he helped Zhang Zuolin up with his own hands, handed over a cup of tea and said: "Yuting, the emperor is very kind, and we as ministers can only be smashed to pieces to repay the king's kindness. According to your current Official position, the emperor made an exception to grant you the rank of second-level general. You are in your prime, and it is a good time to make contributions. When I, Mr. Deng, was just a naval officer when I was your age, it shows how much the emperor regards you. .”
