The fall of Wuhan and the arrest of Okamura Neiji were like a bomb that blew up the top Japanese military officials for a long time.
Emperor Showa's face turned pale when he heard the news. Wuhan is a big city, they used so many troops, but they were still defeated? Impossible, the Chinese must have falsely reported the news!
"Haga!" The sweet dream that Emperor Showa had been aroused by Yamamoto Isoroku before was now shattered, and his mood was naturally not much better.
…
"It's true, it's been lost." Nobuyuki Abe also felt unbelievable. When Okamura Neji sent a telegram back, he only thought that there was a possibility of it being lost, but now, it's really been lost. "And, Okamura Neji
To be taken prisoner is really a shame to the empire!"
"Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategist, isn't it?" Takeshita Jun on the side smiled and said, the strength of the Chinese army is getting stronger and stronger. For him, these things don't mean much to him. He hopes that Japan
Although he was powerful, he did not want the Japanese army to plunder the outside world. He could not change the thoughts of the top leaders and could only withdraw by himself.
"Eh." Nobuyuki Abe sighed. As Prime Minister, he has nothing to do now. The responsibility for the defeat of this war is destined to be borne by Okamura Neiji. However, now he really feels that it is nothing to be dragged on the battlefield in China.
Good practice consumes too much and gets too little.
"I have always been fond of a Chinese saying, which is called, Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. Although there are still many debates about the interpretation of this sentence in China, I think it tells the world that if you want to be strong, you must strengthen yourself.
." Takeshita Jun smiled slightly, "The empire has become somewhat complacent in recent years, and plundering has never been the right path."
Takeshita Shun's words sounded quite harsh in the ears of Abe Nobuyuki. Although, he also agreed. However, people have a kind of luck mentality. Now that their neighbors are so weak, they naturally go to their neighbors' houses to get some things. All Japanese soldiers
The top management almost all thinks this way. They want to occupy China, turn China into their own territory, and enslave the Chinese people. This idea is almost ingrained and cannot be eradicated.
"Although I think so too." Nobuyuki Abe smiled bitterly, "However, as an imperial soldier, I can't control my greed for China at all. In my heart, I subconsciously believe that China should belong to the empire, and the Chinese people no longer deserve to live.
It’s on that land.”
Takeshita Jun frowned, puzzled, "Since you know it's wrong, why can't you control it?"
"I don't know." Nobuyuki Abe shook his head, "I just can't control such thoughts. Sometimes, such thoughts occupy the entire brain."
Takeshita Jun was silent. What Abe Nobuyuki said was certainly true. Could it be that the senior officials also thought this way? It’s terrible. If this continues, these people will become irrational lunatics. What he doesn’t know is,
In this world, many people's ideas are magnified.
…
"Did you hear that Wuhan was lost? General Okamura Neiji was captured!" In a Japanese tavern, someone was drunk and said these words.
"What? Is the clear telegram sent by the Chinese people before true?" Another person said in disbelief.
"Yes, it's true! Even General Okamura was captured!"
"Baga, such a person didn't commit suicide to thank Your Majesty?"
"Maybe he's afraid of pain?"
And there are people beside him who are silent. Has the defense been lost? Then, what will happen to his son?
"These idiots can't defend Wuhan with so many troops!"
"Or are the Chinese people too powerful?"
"Baga! How is that possible? I just came back from China, and the Chinese people don't dare to have any contact with the warriors of the empire!"
"How did it fall?"
"This idiot Neji Okamura must have made a wrong decision!"
"Yoshi, it must be! We are going to tell His Majesty the Emperor and ask him to depose this idiot!"
"Yoshi! Let's go together!"
There are rumors circulating all over Japan, placing all the blame on Neji Okamura to calm the anger of the people.
…
"The main responsibility for the fall of Wuhan lies with Okamura Neji." Emperor Showa spoke and looked at the people below. Even if he failed this time, he still could not suppress his longing for China's land. "The warriors were not properly arranged.
Therefore, from now on, all positions and military ranks of Neji Okamura will be removed."
Everyone below said nothing, and they were very happy in their hearts. Nobuyuki Abe was even more so. As Prime Minister, he actually has to be responsible.
"Next, let's discuss the layout of the defense line on the China battlefield." Emperor Showa said, "Now on the China battlefield, the territory occupied by the empire was bought back with the blood of the warriors, so we must cherish it. These territories should be
It’s from the Empire!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
For a while, everyone boasted that what Emperor Showa said was in line with their wishes, and they also felt that those lands should belong to Japan.
Takeshita Shun stood in a group of people, feeling uncomfortable all over. These people were all crazy and couldn't even see the situation clearly? He thought so, but didn't speak. Then he thought, if he contradicts the emperor at this juncture,
He would soon lose his qualifications to stand here. Then, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Everyone! Please wake up!"
Takeshita Jun's words were like a mirror, reflecting the unconsciousness of this group of people. However, no one wanted to believe it, and no one could control their desires. They felt that Takeshita Jun's words were very harsh, so harsh that they wanted to kill Takeshita immediately.
Jun rushes out.
"Yaruka! Takeshita Jun, what are you talking about!" Emperor Showa said in a deep voice, staring at Takeshita Jun fiercely.
"Your Majesty, please wake up! Can't you see the current situation in the empire? The Chinese have slowly become stronger! But the situation in the empire is getting worse and worse!" Takeshita Jun said loudly, feeling pleased.
He looked at Emperor Showa in fear. In Emperor Showa's eyes, he could see no other expression except anger.
"Haga!" Emperor Showa yelled, "Since my grandfather's Meiji Restoration, the empire's strength has been increasing every day. Do I need to repeat this? The empire is now the most powerful country in Asia, with such a level of industrialization.
So high, which country in Asia can compare with us? Takeshita Jun, don’t think that just because you are my cousin, you are lawless!”
"It is precisely because I am your cousin that I have to say this!" Takeshita Junya became excited, "Your Majesty, we are now..."
Before Takeshita Jun could say anything, he heard the voice of Emperor Showa, "Kick Takeshita Jun out of the cabinet and never hire him!"
Takeshita Jun opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing more. He knew that these people were all blinded by desire, and their consequences would become extremely tragic.
