Hideki Tojo, who came to power earlier than in history, can be considered a supporter of the attack on Pearl Harbor. He also launched a series of fake negotiations for Yamamoto Isoroku's attack plan in an attempt to deceive the US government.
Tojo Hideki was promoted to Army General by the Emperor, and he was ordered to serve as Prime Minister as an active military officer to form the cabinet, and also served as Prime Minister of the land. This made his status much more consolidated than that of previous Prime Ministers. Due to the increasing Japan-US relations,
Unfortunately, the Emperor of Japan needed a fool who traveled to mines as a sign, so he finally chose the madman Hideki Tojo, and Tojo consciously took this step.
Hideki Tojo, who was born in a samurai family in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, was always called "Soldier Tojo" by Ishihara Wanji, Japan's number one military strategist.
Tojo was very famous during his school days. He was said by the principal that "his grades are far from first or second, but his aggressiveness and fighting skills are definitely among the best." After graduating from the military academy, he went to the Japanese-Russian battlefield to gain a lot of gold.
At that time, the Russo-Japanese War was coming to an end, and Japan's victory was determined. As a result, Tojo did not participate in substantive combat operations, and just muddleheadedly won the victory and returned home with the large troops.
As an army general and internal minister, Tojo Hideki had extremely powerful powers and was vaguely known as the "Tojo Shogunate".
The irony is that the Toyotomi surname newly acquired by Isoroku Yamamoto has historically been occupied by Guan Bai, who is the prime minister of Japan. Therefore, Japanese people and political circles also jokingly call it "the army has the shogunate, and the navy has Guan Bai."
It's such a coincidence!
Tojo is indeed the same as in history, and he is also called the shogun by Japanese senior officials, which is also the "Tojo shogunate".
And Reinhard triggered the Japanese Emperor to confer the title of Toyotomi to Fifty-six, which accidentally leveled the political situation between the Japanese army and navy!
Isoroku, who has the surname Toyotomi, naturally has more say in the matter, and breaks the political structure dominated by Hideki Tojo's family, which brings back a win for the Japanese Navy in its struggle with the Army.
In addition, there is also great opposition and contradiction in the personal interests of Toyotomi Isoroku and Tojo Hideki.
One of Tojo Hideki's biggest hobbies is to send people to check the garbage in the trash cans every morning to see if anyone in the country eats big fish and meat. He judged people who have good food to be luxurious in times of national difficulty.
A wasteful person. It can be said that Tojo Hideki is an extremely frugal person. Not only is he frugal himself, but he also forces the whole country to be frugal as well.
But Toyotomi Isoroku was different. In addition to being a well-known gambler, he also had a big hobby, which was to enjoy high-end luxury.
While the Japanese Army was controlling its food supply and purchasing large amounts of cheap lunch meat purchased from Germany, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was still feasting on public funds, and its headquarters even enjoyed a puffer fish dinner.
In this way, Tojo Hideki no longer has to dig through the trash cans. The navy personnel under the fifty-six men blatantly eat and drink, so why should they judge yesterday's meal through the trash cans.
Toyotomi Isoroku didn't think there was anything wrong. He was treating his officers and soldiers well. If the navy soldiers were to work hard, they had to be fed and drank well.
But Hideki Tojo, who was always known for being stingy, didn't see it that way. In his eyes, Isoroku was clearly going to go against him. He pointed east, and Isoroku led the navy to the west.
The most annoying thing is that fifty-six, who was previously his subordinate, suddenly became equal to him, which further made Tojo Hideki's heart unbalanced.
"Bagaya! I heard that the biggest reason why Yamamoto Isoroku was given the surname Toyotomi by the Emperor was because the Germans intervened." Sitting in his office, Tojo Hideki faced
A group of his own staff yelled and cursed without any concealment.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is the emperor's decision, and we have no ability to change it. At this point, we should first find a way to prevent the navy from further expanding its power." A tall, thin man in a suit was the first to persuade.
Tojo is relieved.
"Stop? How do I stop the navy?" After hearing what his subordinates said, Tojo Hideki sneered rather disdainfully: "Even when I had the most power, I have always been unable to interfere with the navy. Now Yamamoto...
..Toyotomi Fifty-Six has become famous and accomplished the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. How could I still intervene?"
"This..." The man under Tojo couldn't answer. Tojo Hideki can be regarded as an upright Japanese army faction after all. For the Japanese navy, which has always been at odds with the army, they can rarely intervene.
Getting started. It is already very difficult for both parties to maintain some basic cooperation.
You know, the Navy has always looked down on the Army, and privately called the Army "Red Deer." Regarding this, the Army has been dissatisfied with the Navy for a long time.
The disagreement between Japan's army and navy generals has been a problem for two generations.
Among the older generation of Japanese generals, the Japanese Army would rather launch human sea tactics than ask for naval support during the Russo-Japanese War.
If the older generation of Japanese generals in the navy and army mainly compete for status, then the new generation of Japanese generals is more practical. They compete for the right to allocate resources.
After all, Japan is a resource-scarce country. Since resources are limited, we must fight for the right to allocate resources.
Resources such as steel and oil are insufficient, and both the army and navy need these resources.
The Japanese Army needs steel to build armored vehicles and tanks to fight on the road in Asia, while the Navy needs steel to build aircraft carriers to fight the United States in the Pacific.
The two sides fought back and forth, and no one was willing to suffer, which resulted in today's situation.
In fact, this kind of situation has also occurred in Germany. German senior officials were once in a dilemma as to whether to build ships or produce tanks.
However, Reinhardt solved this problem perfectly. On the one hand, he increased the import and production of steel and oil, fundamentally increasing the volume. On the other hand, the German army and navy no longer had a commander-in-chief.
Del and Catherine are only deputy commanders-in-chief and chiefs of general staff.
Unlike the Japanese navy and army commanders who compete with each other, the commander-in-chief of Germany's three armed forces is Reinhard himself. He can't make it on his own.
"The Germans are really too lenient. They even interfere in the internal affairs of our Empire of Japan and make blind suggestions." Hideki Tojo looked disgusted and said unhappily: "The same goes for participating in the war. This is so quick.
It’s been 72 hours since they agreed to our declaration of war on the United States, but they haven’t issued it yet.”
"The Italians are still reliable," Tojo Hideki said here, suddenly remembering something, and asked an aide next to him: "Is the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responding to us that Italy will complete the declaration of war on the United States within today?
