The frustrated Emperor Hirohito
"Power on, power on, the former chief of staff of the Japanese government issued a clear power on..."
"Japan's former chief of staff, Kanji Ishihara, issued a clear telegram, asking the Japanese army to take the initiative to release hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians who were held hostage..."
"War is a matter for soldiers and cannot involve innocent people..."
For a time, one after another big news began to spread through newspapers in the streets and alleys of China. ("") At the same time, the streets and alleys in Japan were also electrified by a clear letter from Ishihara Wanji.
It became turbulent again.
Countless ordinary people, shouting slogans of truce, began to march in front of Emperor Hirohito's palace, in front of the homes of various ministers... all government agencies, demanding that the government immediately stop the war, negotiate with China, and demand that China release those captured on the battlefield.
A large number of Japanese officers and soldiers.
Of course, Emperor Hirohito, as the ruler, can completely use the army to suppress the demonstrations of ordinary people. After all, the Japanese government at this moment is completely controlled by a group of soldiers. Under the seriousness of these soldiers, ordinary people
His life was not in their eyes at all.
However, just when the Japanese high-level officials ignored the people's demonstrations and even directly sent troops to suppress them, news that shocked them once again reached their ears.
When various aristocrats in Japan, and even some ministers and elders, learned that their own family's descendants had become Chinese prisoners of war in naval battles and became bargaining chips in the hands of the Chinese government. These people have always only acted in the interests of their own families.
The nobles in the center will quit immediately.
After all, these captured family descendants are all particularly outstanding descendants among these nobles. If hundreds of thousands of Chinese people are killed, then the entire family will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses. The Holy Church
As a result, under the control of these nobles and high-level officials, arsenals that were continuously processing and producing various weapons and ammunition for the front line, shipyards and aircraft factories that were continuously producing warships and aircraft... began to shut down immediately. What's more important is that
, countless shops in the streets and alleys began to go on strike as if agreed...
For a time, the entire government and the entire city fell into a deathly silence like a machine that had stopped running...
"Baga, how can these families be like this? Do they still have any bushido spirit of the empire... I want to kill them. For the sake of the soldiers who are fighting the enemy on the front line, I must kill them..." After learning the specific news
Emperor Hirohito, like an angry lion, clenched his fists and roared loudly at Tojo Hideki in front of him.
In the face of Emperor Hirohito's fire, Tojo Hideki, Japan's first prime minister, was also very angry at the behavior of these nobles who were adding insult to injury. However, he had a clear understanding of the current situation in Japan and was very aware of these things.
The influence and strength of the nobles and senators in Japan are even more clear. The Japanese government cannot be in chaos at this moment, and now is definitely not the time to fall out with those nobles.
Thinking of this, after the anger on Emperor Hirohito's face slowly dissipated, he spoke.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. These nobles and elders who have added insult to injury, for the sake of the etiquette of their own families, regardless of the current situation of our Empire of Japan, have done things that are unworthy of the empire. They really deserve to be killed... However, I think that, at least for now, we are not harmonious."
When these nobles and senators liquidate..."
"Baga, this is not the time for liquidation. Are we really going to watch these nobles who are adding insult to injury and creating chaos in the country? You must know that the weapons and ammunition produced by those factories are urgently needed on the front line. Maybe we can stop work for a day,
The soldiers on the front line will pay a heavy price for this... What are they doing? They are betraying the country... I have only one conclusion for these traitorous nobles, and that is to kill them without mercy..." Emperor Hirohito held his hand tightly.
Fist, roared with a murderous look. Holy Church
Seeing the murderous Emperor Hirohito in front of him, who seemed to be a little arrogant, Tojo Hideki quickly spoke to persuade him, otherwise, he was really worried that Emperor Hirohito in front of him would directly order the arrest of these nobles and elders because of his arrogance.
Order.
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Seeing Emperor Hirohito's red eyes staring at him, Tojo Hideki opened his mouth to explain.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you also know the influence and strength of these nobles and senators in the empire... Lao Chen can say with certainty that if your Majesty issues an arrest order, the entire empire will be in turmoil within a week.
, our government will even be subverted..."
"How is it possible... Tojo-kun, are you too alarmist? Just relying on these nobles... You know, the army of the empire is in the hands of the government. Once these people dare to rebel, they will be the first to be attacked.
The siege of the army..." Seeing Emperor Hirohito who had been living in the palace and didn't know much about the situation outside the palace and the entire country, Hideki Tojo could only helplessly shake his head and said with a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, things are far from as simple as you think..."
Seeing Emperor Hirohito's confused look, Tojo Hideki opened his mouth to explain.
"Your Majesty, although the power to mobilize all the troops in the country is in your hands. However, among these troops, except for some mid-level and senior officers, they are completely subordinate to the government. The remaining officers are all from these nobles, including
Many of them are the proud disciples of these elders..."
"You can imagine that once we issue an arrest order, how many people in these troops will obey the government's orders. By then, it will be very difficult to ensure that the entire army does not launch a rebellion."
Seeing the embarrassed Emperor Hirohito in front of him, Tojo continued to speak.
"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that these nobles almost control the economic lifeline of the entire empire. It can be said with certainty that once we issue an arrest order, the entire empire's economy will collapse as a result.
As for the specific harm, I believe that your Majesty, with your wisdom, should be very clear..."
"Baga, are we going to let these people who have bought money continue to get away with it..." After some explanations, Emperor Hirohito's hatred for these nobles became even stronger, and he cursed angrily with an aggrieved look on his face.
At the same time, through this incident, it was also established in the heart of Emperor Hirohito that in the future, Emperor Hirohito will destroy these nobles regardless of the consequences, causing Japan to fall into chaos. Give you Liu Hua and provide the Chinese ** team with
This is an excellent opportunity to land in Japan.
"Your Majesty, at least not now..."
"Your Majesty, Chief of Staff Ishihara, although he has become a prisoner of war in China and a shame to the empire. However, as the prime minister of the empire, the veteran still fully agrees with his electrification..." Hideki Tojo said with certainty.
"Tell me the specific reasons..." Under Tojo Hideki's constant persuasion, Emperor Hirohito slowly calmed down the anger in his heart. Then, suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked.
"Hayi..."
"Your Majesty, the squadron sent by the empire was once again annihilated by the Chinese squadron, and fifty large troop carriers were also captured by China. It can be said with certainty that in a short period of time, the empire no longer has the ability to send out a fleet again
And transport ships to China to rescue the remaining 500,000 imperial elites in China..."
"Without foreign aid and naval forces, it means that half a million elite elites of the empire have been completely trapped and died in China. More importantly, according to the latest intelligence sent back by various breakout armies, after a month-long
During the breakout, although the attrition of the troops was very light. However, after a month of breakout, the limited food and grass supplies carried by the troops were almost exhausted, and the places the Imperial Army passed through during the breakout, without exception, were all because of the Chinese attack.
The team's strong walls cleared the country without getting any supplies."
"It can be said with certainty that within half a month at the latest, after all the armies have lost their minimum food supplies, there is only one way to go, and that is to take the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese Army. Otherwise, the entire army will be destroyed.
It will automatically collapse due to loss of supplies..."
"Since there will be a war sooner or later, the one hundred thousand Chinese people who are of no significance to the empire will fall into turmoil or even start a riot because they are coerced. It is better to agree to the request of the Chinese government and order all the armies to take the initiative.
Give up these Chinese people. Under the condition of relatively abundant supplies of various materials, take the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese Army..." Tojo Hideki said with a determined look...
"The decisive battle... Tojo-kun, have you ever thought that once the decisive battle takes place, these 500,000 troops will completely disappear..." Emperor Hirohito asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Your Majesty, even if we don't take the initiative to fight a decisive battle and don't agree to the Chinese government's conditions, the army of 500,000 will still disappear. Not only that, the entire empire will also be plunged into turmoil because of our decision. So, please, Your Majesty, can you
Make a wise decision..." Tojo Hideki asked rhetorically.
"What about the soldiers on the front line? Even if we agree, will those soldiers agree?" Emperor Hirohito continued to ask unwillingly.
"Definitely, because these soldiers all know the influence of nobles and senators in the country. As long as your majesty can send the interests in the form of a telegram. I believe that as long as the other party is a true imperial man, he will
I will definitely obey the order..." Tojo Hideki replied affirmatively.
Facing a series of rhetorical questions, Emperor Hirohito slowly fell silent. A few minutes later, Emperor Hirohito, who seemed to have figured it out, said with an aggrieved face: 'Okay, in this case, then I agree to the Chinese government's request. Tojo-kun
, you immediately issue orders in my name to all the breakout troops in China... I am tired and want to rest, please retreat..."
After saying this, the aggrieved Emperor Hirohito closed his eyes with a painful expression and stopped talking.
