The chaos in Shanghai directly affected the Japanese strategy of moving the puppet troops south. Because the man who proposed this strategy, Kage Sasaki, and Inukai Ken, who was responsible for implementing this strategy, were assassinated.
Mei Guan also fell into panic.
This assassination seems to be aimed at the Mei Agency? What should the rest of them do? They will be afraid. Moreover, their agency chief is dead! Not even seven days after his death, the agency chief’s confidants are also dead.
!
What does this make them do?
Wangsman is still busy, um, looking for a false direction to continue busy. Inu Yang Ken is also dead, she is actually a little lucky. But for the first time, she feels that the independent division is really terrible, like Meiji
People like Yingzuo Zhenzhao will be killed when asked. Moreover, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was killed while sleeping in his darkroom!
It's amazing to be able to sneak into Yingzuo Zhenzhao's private house without anyone noticing. When he arrived at Yingzuo Zhenzhao's bedroom, no one was found, but he actually found Yingzuo Zhenzhao's secret room!
…
In the courtyard, Zhou Weiguo smiled as he watched the brothers of the special team eating.
After killing two Japs in a few days, I'm afraid the top brass of the Japanese army were going crazy. At this time, I wonder if they can still take care of the puppet army's plan to transfer the puppet army to the south.
…
Japan, Tokyo.
Hideki Tojo looked at the telegram in his hand and felt even worse. Negotiations with the United States made no progress, but chaos broke out in Shanghai! Kage Sasaki was dead! Inukai Ken was dead! Inukai Ken was Inukai Takeshi
My son!
Tojo Hideki rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that the country was about to be in chaos.
Although the peace talks with the United States have been long and they have made a lot of preparations, they still feel a little uneasy!
But for the benefit of the military personnel, Tojo Hideki had to do this.
…
"Your Majesty, you must also know about the situation in China and Shanghai." Konoe Fumimaro sat in front of Emperor Showa and sighed, "Until now, I still insist on my original view. Sometimes, I make too many enemies, which is not conducive.
The development of our Japanese Empire."
"Konoe-kun, I also know this." Emperor Showa sighed, "But the empire has reached this point. Do you think it can still give up? Can it still be stopped midway? If it is given up and stopped, what will happen to the domestic conflicts?
adjust?"
"I feel that the empire should take a steady step and continue to improve its strength without irritating Britain and the United States." Konoe Fumimaro sighed, "otherwise, the empire will fall into a situation of fighting on several fronts! The empire's population is limited to this, which is our largest
insufficient!"
"So, we can rely on the power of countries in Southeast Asia, right? They don't like Britain and the United States." Emperor Showa touched the tea cup and said calmly, "What's more, we can also mobilize the Chinese army."
"The Chinese will definitely stop it."
"How to stop it? By killing Kage Sasaki? Inukai Takeru?" Emperor Showa said coldly, "Won't I send others?"
Konoe Fumimaro closed his eyes. His governing strategy was not against outward expansion, but if the outward expansion was excessive, it would create too many enemies, which would be detrimental to Japan's development. Today, Japan has this trend.
However, the previous imperial meeting in September had decided to attack the United States. Konoe Fumimaro had a headache. Japan was already struggling to attack China.
Now we have to provoke the United States, which is what Konoe Fumimaro doesn't want to see.
"Konoe-kun, sometimes if the empire wants to develop, external expansion is necessary. The empire was born on this land and the resources are poor, so we have to rob and fight for it." Emperor Showa sighed, "In short, this
After a while, thank you Konoe-kun for your efforts."
"I understand." Konoe Fumimaro said bitterly, "I just hope that the empire will become more prosperous and stronger."
Emperor Showa patted Konoe Fumimaro on the shoulder, "I know all this."
…
In Shanghai, Chen Gongbo looked at the documents in his hand and his heart sank. Japan would still send puppet troops south.
In other words, Kage Sasaki's death has no impact at all.
No, he wants to spread this news!
The troops in his hands cannot be allowed to go south in his name! Otherwise, how should China be regarded as an aggressor?
…
When Liu Yuan received this information, his face turned ugly.
What to do?
The Japanese have no intention of stopping.
…
On October 1, Zhou Weiguo received the telegram forwarded by Liu Yuan. The Japanese had no intention of stopping and would continue the puppet army's strategy of moving south.
Zhou Weiguo thought for a while, in this case, there was really no need to give face to the Japanese, and he replied with a few words, "The navy's first, second, and third fleets and submarine fleets are blockading the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, Fujian. If they encounter the Japanese navy
, then it will sink."
It was already October, and Zhou Weiguo knew what preparations the Japanese were making.
Tojo Hideki, I think he wants to be in charge. It should be soon.
Since I can't stop your thoughts, then I won't let you go out.
…
As a result, the news that the independent division navy was wandering along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang reached the hands of Tojo Hideki.
"Yaruka!" Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth, feeling that the Independent Division was really their nemesis, but at this time, could they fight the Navy of the Independent Division? No! Because they were preparing for a battle with the U.S. Navy! Then the Imperial Alliance Army would
No more southern tune?
Tojo Hideki frowned. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army looked like scum to the Japanese.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Lu, I feel that at this juncture, whether the Imperial Army should be transferred south or not, it no longer matters." Someone stood up, walked to Tojo Hideki and said, "The Empire wants to invade Southeast Asia! It wants to fight with
The United States has gone to war! And more than 200,000 troops have been transferred south! In addition to the empire's navy, I feel that the military strength is almost there. After all, in Southeast Asia, the United States and other countries only have tens of thousands of troops stationed. At this time, how can we not fight with the independent division?
If there is a conflict, don’t start a conflict."
"But I am the Prime Minister!" Tojo Hideki was helpless. He was the Minister of War, not the Minister of the Navy! When they see the Navy of the Independent Division, the Navy people will definitely rush forward to take revenge!
admiralty
A group of people quarreled because they received the telegram and divided into two groups. One group advocated fighting with the independent division navy, while the other advocated temporary tolerance! After all, they had already set a strategy to go to war with the United States!
Oikawa Koshiro looked at the people arguing and rubbed his eyebrows. He always felt that the independent master could really find trouble for him. What should he do at this time?
"Everyone be quiet." Koshiro Yoshikawa said, "This matter will be decided by His Majesty and the Prime Minister! You guys, stop arguing."
…
Emperor Showa looked at Tojo Hideki, Yoshikawa Koshiro and Konoe Fumimaro, and then looked at the telegram in his hand.
