The atmosphere in the basement was very dull. Emperor Hirohito looked at these normally arrogant and arrogant ministers, all of them were as stunned as eggplants beaten by frost. Suddenly he was so angry that he slapped the seat fiercely.
"You guys, aren't you usually very eloquent? Why are you all mute now?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were speechless for a moment. Finally, everyone turned their attention to Prince Xianyuan Palace Zairen. Who has the highest status and seniority?
In the end, Prince Hanyuan Gong Zairen had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to our witnesses, those planes were printed with China's blue sky and white sun flag and black tiger mark. We can already confirm it."
Those planes came from Chahar to us”
"Nonsense." Hirohito lost his composure today. He interrupted the imperial uncle without hesitation, "Who else could it be if it wasn't Chahar? What I'm asking now is the reason why they came to bomb, the base from which they took off, and our homeland in the future."
Will we continue to be bombed?"
Although Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito was robbed of his words by his nephew, he still had to answer the emperor's words. "According to the old minister's estimate, these planes took off from Vladivostok, which is the only place closest to our empire. As for the reason why they bombed us,
Well"
Speaking of this, Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen couldn't go on. Because of this reason, everyone on earth knows that if the Mei Agency hadn't been too idle to come up with an assassination plan, Chahar would not have come to do such a thing.
Oh, otherwise, why didn't they come earlier and later? But they came right after Su Tong was assassinated. It was clear that they wanted revenge.
Of course, you can think like this in your heart, but you can't say this in your mouth: "Your Majesty, Chahar from Su Tong on down is a crazy person who dares to massacre innocent people of our empire. I think we should immediately order the Kwantung Army to march westward and recover
The Tongliao and Rehe generation also ordered Matsui Iwane to step up the attack on Nanjing minister Su Tong. Whether he is alive or dead, he wants to see people dead or corpses. We want the whole world to know that the majesty of the Japanese Empire is not so easy to infringe.
"At the end of the sentence, Prince Hanyuan Gong Zairen's words already contained a hint of murderous intent.
At this time, Hirohito also suppressed his anger forcibly. He knew that this matter must be handled well, otherwise the majesty accumulated by the Japanese Empire over the years would become the laughing stock of the whole world. More than 200,000 troops were dispatched to attack a country.
It didn't matter that I didn't capture the first part, but someone came knocking on my door. This joke got really big.
Hirohito pondered for a while with a sullen face before asking: "Lieutenant General Takashima Kazuo, who is in charge of the First Flying Division guarding the mainland, is here. I want to ask him why China's planes can fly over our country as if they are in no man's land."
Indiscriminate bombing and the air force did nothing, but our air force responded so slowly that they retreated unscathed."
When everyone heard this, they thought, well, it seems that Hirohito is going to get someone to stab him, but it has nothing to do with everyone. Everyone just shrank their heads and went home to clean up the snow in front of the house. Let him vent, otherwise Hirohito will be evil.
I don’t know who is the unlucky one who can’t get down.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Lieutenant General Anami Yuiki, the chief of guard, came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Takashima Kazuo committed suicide at home. Before committing suicide, he left a suicide note claiming that he was invaded by thieves in Kyoto.
This caused His Majesty to be frightened, and he betrayed His Majesty's great trust and had no face to see Your Majesty, so "
"That's why he committed suicide out of fear of crime, right?" Hirohito asked coldly.
"Is that so, Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Takashima is because?" After hearing Hirohito's question, even Anan, who was known for his strength, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. The important ministers in the basement were even more frightened.
According to Japanese national education, the emperor's family is the only family left by Amaterasu in the human world. The emperor's will represents the will of God, and the emperor of Japan is different from the emperor of China. The emperor of China is The emperor emphasizes that virtuous people should live there, and in Japanese society, Japanese subjects regard the emperor as their head of the family and as the father of everyone.
Japanese subjects regard the Emperor as a god. Every Japanese receives imperial education when he is a child: the basis of Japanese Dao is the obligation to the emperor and parents. Without the emperor, there is no country. Without parents, there is no country. There is no home. For the Japanese, the Emperor is a god. Their feelings for the Emperor are not just awe, but also love, obedience and obligation. Japanese subjects will warn their children that if they look directly at the Emperor's face, they will They will be blinded. If someone mentions the word "emperor" in a speech, the entire audience will immediately sit upright. Because the emperor's power in Taoism is so great, the emperor cannot express his opinions easily. Whether it was at the imperial meeting or the person who reported to him on an ad hoc basis, one could only guess the emperor's intention from his almost expressionless and vague words.
Therefore, seeing that the emperor clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Takashima Kazuo, and even committing suicide by breaking his belly and committing suicide could not eliminate Hirohito's anger, all the important ministers knew that this matter was not over yet, and someone might be unlucky.
Sure enough, Hirohito said to Prince Hanyuan Gong Zairen: "Nanjing has not been captured. What is the reason? Didn't you say that Su Tong is dead? Then you can give me a sure idea of how long it will take to capture it." Nanjing"
When Prince Kanin Palace Zaijin heard this, he sweated even more on his forehead. He decided to urge Matsui Iwane and Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko to speed up the attack after returning. The life and death of Nanjing and Su Tong had become a matter of course. His Majesty the Emperor will not be relieved if it is not solved as soon as possible.
"Yes, I will definitely urge General Matsui to break through Nanjing as soon as possible so that the majesty of His Majesty and the Imperial Kingdom can be demonstrated." Prince Xianyuan Palace Zairen lowered his head even lower.
Hirohito's face was stern and he sat expressionless. Although he was young, Hirohito, who had been educated as a king since he was a child, attached great importance to how to protect the Holy Lord in front of his civil servants and generals, and all the people. Since he succeeded at the age of twenty, he has been Over the years, he had already developed a habit. Whenever he was summoned by the emperor, unless he was eager to learn about important events, he would rarely speak. He would just look back and forth on everyone's faces with his small but majestic eyes. This once made people laugh. Countless ministers were frightened and in awe, and they all regarded him as a god. Some civil and military ministers who entered the palace for the first time had their legs weak in front of this formation and were so nervous that they could not speak clearly. But he felt satisfied, even comfortable. , he has long been accustomed to this. What he wants is that everything in the world can surrender under his feet.
But today, he made an exception and said so many words. Hirohito turned his eyes and looked at Shun Tada who was standing aside: "Qing Tada, you have just been transferred back from the battlefield in China. What do you think of China and Chahar?"
"Your Majesty" Shun Tada, who had just returned to China as the Deputy Minister of the Military Ministry, came out and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think that China and Chahar are different. The will of resistance in China and Yucheng is far less than that in Chahar and Chahar."
That Su Tong, so I think "
Tada Shun was still reporting, and Hirohito's eyes were fixed on the face of the middle-aged man with sharp edges and a resolute face. He had always had a complicated feeling for Tada. He admired his youth and ability, and his ability to control the general trend.
He is capable and far-sighted on many issues. However, this man is too scheming. In a short period of time at the General Staff Headquarters, he was able to convince his uncle, the senior and respected Chief of Staff, Prince Hanin Gong Zaijin, to take charge of him.
All real power, big and small, was given to him.
In the Headquarters Headquarters, although Prince Zai Ren is his chief of staff, the person who has more dealings with him is the deputy commander in front of him who has just passed the age of knowing his destiny. Nowadays, his influence in Tokyo's military circles is growing.
, this somewhat caused a faint uneasiness in his heart. What's more, Hirohito knew that this person was a pillar of the "Northern Movement" who actively advocated the use of force against the Soviet Union. His activities and influence had prevented the normal operation of cabinet decision-making.
This intensified Hirohito's inner contradictions. Hirohito's life was full of contradictions, and it was not difficult to see the recurrence of contradictions in a special person like Tada. He hoped that there would be some influential figures in the military and cabinet to eliminate the military.
There are constant quarrels inside and outside, but he is also full of uneasiness and prejudice against these people. This kind of contradiction often disturbs his peaceful life.
"Okay, now I just want to know how to deal with Chahar, the mortal enemy of the empire." Hirohito interrupted Tada Shun.
Tada Shun gritted his teeth, "The only solution for now is to increase the number of troops."
At this meeting, the furious Japanese monarchs and ministers decided to immediately increase the number of troops by 400,000. As soon as the plan was put forward, Hirohito approved it, and Japan's chariot without brakes was like a wild horse running wild.
quick
Just as the temporary imperial meeting was in full swing, the rescue work in Tokyo was also in full swing.
"Quickly, open the door of this air-raid shelter." A firefighter was shouted by the captain and ran towards the door of an air-raid shelter located near the park.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the team member smelled a very fragrant smell. The smell was a bit like roast duck, but more fragrant than roast duck. Although he felt a little strange, the anxious firefighter still pulled hard on the iron door of the air raid shelter.
Pulling it out, the heavy iron door slowly opened with a heavy "rattling" sound. Immediately, two team members rushed in to save people, but within a moment they quickly ran back and lay down at the door and vomited.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark.
"Mika-kun, Fujino-kun, what's wrong with you?" the team members next to them asked in surprise. The two team members who were lying at the door and vomiting didn't answer. They just pointed inside and continued to vomit. When the large group of people entered, a large group of people came in.
Many people were horrified to find that thousands of people in the air-raid shelter had been cooked by the high temperature, and the ground was covered with corpse oil from roasted human bodies. A smell similar to roast duck emitted from the cave, but it was a pity that there was no such smell at all.
Can’t arouse everyone’s appetite
Gao Zhihang and the others had no idea that due to their bombing, there would be many more ovens of Tokyo roast duck in Tokyo. When Gao Zhihang led the fleet back, the navigator had already sent the news of the successful bombing back to the country, which made those who had been waiting anxiously
Chief Su got the news immediately.
"What a great day, you have today." Su Tong slapped his hand on the table hard. He immediately ordered Tieniu at the door to come in and said: "Tieniu, let the news out, saying that my injury has improved.
You can have people come to visit you."
"yes"
"Mr. Su's condition is improving and he can now visit his doctor." Soon such news spread in the streets and alleys of Nanjing. The citizens of Nanjing were rejoicing at this good news.
But the same news fell into the ears of others, "Su Tong's condition has improved and he is now meeting with the generals stationed in Nanjing."
"How could this happen? Didn't the agent report that the poison was so powerful that it was fatal to be hit alone? How come you are awake again and can meet with those Chinese generals?" The news quickly reached the ears of Matsui Iwane, and he heard the news.
Afterwards, I was heartbroken. Once Su Tong was able to command the Chinese army, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army would not be improved at all. It can be said that it would not be at the same level.
It seemed that unless there were more reinforcements in the country, the war could not be fought. Matsui Iwane sat down on the chair and was stunned for a while. He immediately took out a stack of manuscript paper from the drawer and began to draft the telegram himself.
"Commander Matsui, something big has happened in Tokyo." At this time, Major General Amiichiro Tashiro, the chief of staff, ran in crawling, still holding a telegram tightly in his hand.
"What is really going on, Tashiro-kun? Don't forget that you are a senior imperial officer." Matsui Iwane frowned and asked. Then it suddenly occurred to him that Tashiro Anichiro was also a battle-hardened general. What happened to make him like this?
Where's the gaffe?
"Your Excellency, Commander, Tokyo Tokyo was bombed by Chahar's plane." Tashiro Anichiro finally couldn't help crying loudly.
"What?" Matsui Iwane stood up with a look of disbelief on his face. The Japanese Empire, which has existed for thousands of years, was actually bombed by the enemy. How is this possible?
"Yaga, if you dare to lie about military information, I will personally shoot you." Matsui Iwane grabbed Tashiro Anichiro's collar and yelled viciously.
Tears rolled down Akihiro Tashiro's face, his face was sad and silent, and he just silently handed the telegram in his hand to Matsui Iwane.
Matsui Iwane grabbed the telegram and read it at a glance. He felt like stars were popping up in front of his eyes and then went dark. He fell back. In his daze, he only heard Tashiro Anichiro's shout: "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Commander."
