One day later, the dark clouds that shrouded the streets of Tokyo were caused by the garrison's shooting, and a large number of people were shot to death in the name of rioters. Not only did it not diminish in any way, but it intensified.
As the troops encircled and suppressed the rebels, the sound of gunfire gradually spread from around the Imperial Palace to the streets and alleys of the entire Tokyo city.
At this moment, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, can no longer see the prosperity of the past. On the streets and alleys, except for groups of patrols with murderous faces, walking back and forth, there are only chaotic people everywhere.
, corpses and blood that has not completely dried up. As for ordinary people, in order to avoid themselves and their families being implicated, they have already huddled in their homes and prayed to the so-called Amaterasu, praying that the disaster would not spread to them...
In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, facing the still unconscious Emperor Hirohito, the faces of the entire Japanese hierarchy showed anxious looks.
"Ahem..." A series of slight coughs came from Emperor Hirohito's palace. Emperor Hirohito, who had been in a coma for several days, finally opened his weak eyes. Following closely, the palace maid screamed.
, it rang throughout the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake, Royal Physician, Your Majesty is awake..."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Your Majesty is awake. After diagnosis by the imperial doctor, His Majesty is completely out of danger. In addition, Your Majesty has just issued an order requiring all ministers to rush to the main hall immediately and hold a royal meeting..." Soon, a waiter
Emperor Hirohito's bodyguard rushed out panting and said to Tojo Hideki and others who looked anxious outside the palace.
The pale-faced Emperor Hirohito, regardless of his weak body, sat down in his seat with great difficulty with the support of two maids.
A pair of weak eyes quickly glanced at the minister in front of him. Before he could speak, a huge explosion faintly came from outside the palace into the hall.
"Tojo-kun, where did the explosion come from..." The weak Emperor Hirohito asked in a voice that was almost like a mosquito buzzing, frowning.
"Your Majesty, it was a fire. The explosion must have been caused by the weapon misfire of the palace guard..." Facing the weak Emperor Hirohito, Tojo Hideki, as Prime Minister, did not dare to let him know about his people at this time.
Faced with the defeat on the battlefield in China, they actually launched a rebellion.
"Nani, the weapon misfired... How is it possible? As far as I know, the guards guarding the palace are all selected from the most elite Guards Division of the Japanese Empire. Tojo-kun, this must not be the reason.
Tell me what happened, what are you hiding from me..." Emperor Hirohito snorted fiercely and asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn because of Emperor Hirohito's words.
Just when Tojo Hideki and other ministers were frowning and thinking about how to answer Emperor Hirohito, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside the palace...
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Prime Minister, something has happened...¨" A major officer seemed not to notice Emperor Hirohito sitting in the center of the hall. He rushed in directly and exclaimed in horror to Tojo Hideki in front of him.
.
"Baga, Your Majesty is here, how dare you lie about the military situation... Come here, pull him out and hand him over to the Military Justice Department for trial..." He glared fiercely at the major officer who rushed into the hall. He was deeply afraid of what was in front of him.
Emperor Hirohito heard some bad news and fell into a coma again. Even... Tojo Hideki directly gave an order...
Seeing the major officer standing in the main hall, his face suddenly showed a look of bewilderment and panic due to Tojo Hideki's order. Emperor Hirohito immediately understood what was happening. Just as the two guards rushed into the main hall
, when he was about to leave with the Major who was still at a loss. Emperor Hirohito supported his weak body, pointed at the Major in the main hall, and ordered with a firm face.
"Baga, please stand down. No one can enter the hall without my order... I'm not dead yet. I still have the final say here. You, tell me the truth, what happened with the explosion just now?"
What’s going on…”
"Ha Yi, Your Majesty..." the major officer couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then he said.
"Your Majesty, the explosion just now was caused by a sudden attack by rioters at the palace gate. A group of rioters, disguised as an army, launched an attack at the palace gate, causing the casualties of at least one team of our guard troops. Even the palace gate was damaged because of this.
Destroyed. However, so far, this mob has been completely wiped out by the security forces I reinforced."
"Nani, the rioters, where did the rioters come from..." Emperor Hirohito, who had been unconscious for several days, immediately set his sights on Tojo Hideki and asked with a sneer on his face.
"Tojo-kun, at this point, do you still want to hide something from me?"
Seeing Emperor Hirohito's eyes, Tojo Hideki, as the Prime Minister, knew that it was impossible to hide this matter. So, under the shocked eyes of the emperor, he told the whole incident in detail.
come out….
Perhaps he was mentally prepared for it. Faced with Tojo Hideki's answer, Emperor Hirohito, who was in a weak body, did not get angry on the surface. However, in his heart, a huge wave was already set off.
After a short period of reflection, as the emperor, the first thing he wanted to know was how far the current situation in the country had developed, and whether it had become hopelessly chaotic.
"Tojo-kun, tell me about the current situation in the country. Have the rebellions in various places been suppressed? In particular, have the arsenals distributed in various places resumed production?"
"Hai..." Tojo Hideki replied affirmatively.
"After the troops stationed in various places were dispatched one after another, except for the fighting against rebels in a few areas, which is still continuing, the rebellions in other places have been quelled. In addition, according to the latest statistics, more than two-thirds of arsenals across the country have resumed production.
.The entire empire is developing in a good direction..."
"In this case, let's talk about the specific losses caused by the rebellion in various places..." Of course, Emperor Hirohito could not be fooled by Tojo Hideki's words. Staring at a pair of hot eyes, he continued to ask
.
"Your Majesty, according to statistics, more than 1.2 million rebels participated in the two-day rebellion across the country. However, in order to avoid too much loss to the national power of the Japanese Empire, in this counter-rebellion, except for about 100,000 people,
In addition to the masterminds who were eliminated in accordance with imperial laws, all the remaining rebels were released. In addition, there were about 20,000 rebels who, faced with the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, all retreated into the mountains and forests and turned into guerrillas, still resisting. However,
, I believe that under the heroic attack of our Imperial Japanese Army, these 20,000 rebels will be wiped out sooner or later." Hideki Tojo replied with confidence.
However, what the confident Tojo Hideki did not expect was that although the Emperor Hirohito in front of him did not change at all on the surface, in his heart, due to the continuous number of casualties and the number of rioters, he had already become like a drop of blood.
of pain.
The rebellion of more than one million people did not reach the point of damaging the entire national strength of Japan. However, it had a huge impact on the situation in Japan as a whole. Especially the influence of the imperial power and the cabinet in the empire.
suffered a heavy blow.
It can be said that based on the current delicate situation of the empire. If the empire can win the next Pacific War, then the entire country may develop in a good direction. However, if the war fails, the entire empire will
It will once again fall into unprecedented civil strife, especially the more than one million people who have experienced one rebellion will definitely become the main force in the next rebellion.
At that time, not only the cabinet, but also the position of the emperor will be affected as never before.
Emperor Hirohito was not mistaken, but as a superior emperor, he still underestimated the impact of this rebellion on the entire Japan.
Faced with China's defeat on the battlefield and the deaths of millions of soldiers and prisoners in several years of fighting, the proportion of young and middle-aged people in Japan has reached its limit, almost to the point where it has almost no troops to recruit. At the same time,
, due to successive battles and the continuous blockade of the Japanese mainland by various countries, Japan's various domestic material reserves have long been exhausted. Even the most basic food cannot meet the needs of the entire nation after being supplied to the officers and soldiers on the front line.
Tens of millions of Japanese citizens were left without clothing and food because of the country's continuous wars.
At such a critical juncture, the news of the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield was like a fuse, igniting all the suppressed dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Japanese people and completely erupting.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the firing order issued by Tojo Hideki to the troops stationed in various places in the name of Emperor Hirohito...
Faced with the orders of Emperor Hirohito, the dark muzzles of the garrison troops everywhere, and the relatives and friends who died under the muzzles of the garrison troops. Coupled with the constant propaganda and instigation of some anti-war people, the people living at the lowest level have
Gradually, I discovered that Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor, whom I believed in, did not bring me a good life. The current cabinet also did not bring me a good life.
As a result, ordinary people, encouraged by these anti-war people and even rioters, began to doubt and attack the current Japanese government...¨
If a country's citizens have general distrust of the government, it means that the country is not far from destruction. And it is such a delicate situation that will provide the opportunity for the Chinese army to land on the Japanese mainland in the future and overthrow the Eto Treaty.
The military government cabinet headed by Yingji laid a very good foundation... Of course, these are all things for later.
