Going east from the All Saints Palace, a whole long street is the private property of the royal family. At the same time, this long street is also the seat of Japan's Prime Minister, Cabinet, Parliament, High Court and other administrative and judicial institutions. The All Saints Palace has a majestic Japanese style but is sophisticated.
, the rest of the buildings are mostly a blend of Eastern and Western styles, but the buildings are not very high, with a maximum of four floors, which is much lower than the Tenshu Pavilion of the All Saints Palace, which is located at the highest point.
The Halloween Palace was originally built at the highest point in Kyoto. In the era of cold weapons, it would also be a solid inner city castle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This long street is called Tenshou Street.
No. 15 Tenshu Street is a cylindrical office building covering an extremely large area. It has only four floors, but it looks like a Roman arena and is very majestic.
Today, this building serves as the regent's official office, and at the same time, the newly established Ministry of National Defense of Japan also operates here.
Shigeyoshi Kawamoto was appointed Minister of Defense and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
In the conference hall, Lu Ming sat at the main seat, and Shigeyoshi Kawamoto sat slightly to the left.
On both sides of the long table, sat two service chiefs, the joint chiefs of staff, several military chiefs, and fifteen division commanders.
Among them are three Central Defense Force division commanders. Originally there were two Central Army division commanders. However, Kawamoto Shigeyoshi has announced that the Otsutsu Division will be downgraded to the Ouetsu Security Brigade, and the Central Army has added one division, so there are still fifteen division commanders.
commander, but there is one more commander of the Central Military Division.
Of course, the Third Division of the Central Army is just a shelf and has not yet truly taken shape.
To the right of Lu Ming, sat the Jinguji Soldier Girl, wearing a dark green senior officer's uniform, with the rank of two-star general of the Japanese Army, and a big-brimmed hat. She was beautiful and heroic.
The Ministry of National Defense will be deeply integrated with the Security Council, and the military intelligence department will be merged into the Security Council. Hyoki Jinguji will continue to serve as the director of the new Security Council and concurrently serve as the second deputy minister of defense.
Minister of Defense Shigeyoshi Kawamoto holds the rank of four-star general of the Japanese Army.
Lu Yiman, the head of the Air Force Headquarters, sits first from the left and holds the rank of three-star general of the Japanese Air Force.
Kawamoto Renyoko, the head of the Navy Headquarters, sits first from the right, with the rank of three-star admiral of the Japanese Navy.
Kawamoto Renheng was a general promoted by Lu Ming. When the Ouyue Division was stranded in the northern region and had to form an Ouyue Brigade to help the Prince of Montenegro fight the rebels, Kawamoto Renheng was just a platoon leader of the Ouyue Brigade. Later Ouyue
The brigade was reorganized into two grassland retinue regiments, with Kawamoto Company serving as company commander, battalion commander and deputy regimental commander. The regimental commander was a Montenegrin officer.
He lived very freely in the Northern Territory, and even married a beautiful prairie girl as his wife. He had no plans to return to Japan.
However, he was named by Governor Zhang and had to return eastward with the Aoyue Division, and later worked under Representative Lu.
By the middle of last year, the southern government formally established the Department of the Navy, and he was appointed as its first minister.
Needless to say, his thoughts have changed a long time ago, and he even considers himself a Montenegrin psychologically. He had already obtained Montenegrin citizenship and had a citizen number in the Principality of Montenegro, but it has now been cancelled.
Air Force Headquarters Headquarters Riku Yoshimitsu, or Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, has completely different thinking patterns from his father, the old Prime Minister Ashikaga.
"Lord Toyota? I heard you have a proposal?" Lu Ming looked at Lord Toyota, the division commander Daichi Toyoda.
An old man in his fifties was the only division commander who was absent from the wedding of the Queen and the Regent the day before yesterday.
Daiyoshi Toyoda smiled and said: "Yes, I have signed a proposal jointly with Higashino, Kishida and a few other old friends. Let's take a look at it."
Several old men agreed with a smile. They were all elderly and the most traditional. The lord was also the leader of the army. He signed the proposal jointly with Daiichi Toyoda.
The proposal was circulated to everyone. In fact, it was similar to Kawamoto Shigeyoshi's idea. Several of them had decided that the elite divisions could be drawn and reorganized by the Central Army, and the remaining personnel could be compressed into a security brigade with about 5,000 members.
Looking at the proposal, the other division commanders had different expressions.
The old guys have lost their ambitions and have longed for peace and lost their ambition to make achievements, but the young people don't think so.
Daiyoshi Toyoda smiled and said: "Actually, if we abolish the division, local finances will not be as stretched as before. The people in the territory will benefit the most. Moreover, the central government directly governs the three territories of Gyeonggi. It can be said that our kingdom has never been so stable.
In this situation, I think that reducing the local divisions is to eradicate the ills of Japan that have existed for thousands of years. It is only because of the regent that he has such courage. From a future historical perspective, what the regent is doing now will be difficult for any great man in Japan.
It is incomparable that the Prince Regent will become the greatest man with the highest status in our Japanese history."
Some people couldn't help but curse this old fox for being so shameless.
There are also people who have carefully thought about Toyota Daichi's words, and they can't help but feel that there is some truth in them.
The central government has direct jurisdiction over the three areas of Gyeonggi and Kyushu, which has indeed formed a powerful central government situation that has been rare in thousands of years.
Of the three feudal lord families in the Gyeonggi Province, two originally supported Yamamoto Yu, while the other stayed away from him and later turned against him.
With the support of the Montenegrin Air Force, the southern government liberated Kyoto and the three surrounding territories, and also deposed the lord families of the three territories. The three territories were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.
Sanling is the richest area in Japan, with a population of more than 30 million, accounting for one-third of the entire population of Japan.
Today, among all the collars managed by the southern government, the three collars account for half of the population.
"Captain Yasuda Castle!" Lu Ming looked at a thin general in his forties, who was the division commander Yasuda Castle.
Yasuda Cheng sat upright and said, "Yes!"
Lu Ming sighed: "Lord Yasuda is still having secret correspondence with Yamamoto Yu. You know that, right?"
Yasuda Cheng's eyelids twitched and he remained silent.
Lu Ming shook his head: "The Security Committee should be taking Lord Yasuda away now. The Jinguji Temple Second Bureau has been pursuing it for a long time. You have nothing to do with this matter, and you have been persuading Lord Yasuda. However, you still need to talk to the Second Bureau
Please explain it carefully."
Behind Yasuda Castle, two plainclothes agents of the Security Committee were already standing.
Yasuda nodded slightly, took out the pistol and put it on the table, stood up and left the venue.
Lu Ming looked at the crowd and said seriously: "Everyone, the reorganization of the Central Defense Force and the local security forces is imperative. I have talked about a lot of principles. Whether you can listen to them or not, the Ministry of National Defense will issue Order No. 1 today.
It was an order to establish the five main divisions of the Central Army and to downsize the leading divisions into security brigades. Someone might take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. Plus Yamamoto thought he had found an opportunity. The worst result would be another civil war.
, it was smashed to pieces, and it took several years to build that night. For the future of Japan, I think this sacrifice is worth it. Any Japanese citizen will be grateful to our ancestors for this change in the future!"
Some people were horrified and moved, while others looked blank, as if what happened here had nothing to do with them.
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi glanced at Lu Ming, what the Montenegro people are doing now will really eradicate the abuses of Japan's political system that have existed for thousands of years.
It can only be said that the Montenegrins no longer regard Japan as a threat, but are preparing to develop a relationship such as a slave state or an ally.
It is also true that under the leadership of the Principality of Montenegro, the people of Central Continent see that they are on the right track. They have always been the suzerain country that has influenced Japanese culture. Now they see the trend of revival and will no longer take the small Japanese island country in their eyes.
Perhaps, it is also a good thing. Shigeyoshi Kawamoto sighed softly in his heart. To prosper the East, coexist and prosper together, we must keep up with the vision, grand scheme, and great courage of the Prince of Montenegro.
