"Takeshita-kun, welcome back safely." After nearly a month of wandering, Takeshita Junya finally returned to the country safely, and he even sent someone to pick him up, and the person who picked him up was none other than Tojo Hideki.
"Thank you." Takeshita Jun smiled. He saw Tojo Hideki again and stood on his own land again. Takeshita Jun was still a little emotional. To be honest, this trip would still be extremely dangerous. If it weren't for good luck,
If someone saves you, you may not have the chance to come back, let alone have any ideals.
"Haha, let's go, the emperor is waiting to see you." Tojo Hideki smiled, and then asked Takeshita Shun to get in the car with him.
After getting on the bus, Tojo Hideki spoke again, "It's a pity that Zhou Weiguo escaped this time."
"It's a pity indeed." Takeshita Junya nodded as if it was serious, "I have already shot him, but it was not fatal."
"However, once the independent division's navy is gone, its strength will be reduced by at least one-third!" Hideki Tojo smiled, "Recently, the empire is still planning the independent division's air force. If the independent division's air force can also be removed, then
It could not be better."
Takeshita Jun nodded, his expression as usual, but in his heart, he was a little sad. The whole of Japan had been deceived by Zhou Weiguo. If Zhou Weiguo had not told him, he would have even thought that the independent division navy had been eliminated. But similarly, he could not
We have betrayed Zhou Weiguo's trust and our great ideal together.
"Now that you are a lieutenant general, you will naturally have to shoulder greater responsibilities." Tojo Hideki continued, "The empire's current situation is very serious. Once it loses, it will be catastrophic."
"I know this." Takeshita Jun sighed, "In the Pacific, the American navy is counterattacking! But we have deployed too many troops on the Chinese battlefield! If we want to win the war, we must draw out China's troops! Otherwise, we have deployed too many troops.
, multi-faceted combat, not to mention the issue of troop strength, even in terms of logistics, has brought too much burden to the empire! The empire is already small in area and has a much smaller population than China and the United States. If we attack these two countries at once,
It’s really a bit difficult.”
"Of course I know this." Tojo Hideki frowned, "In fact, I have suggested to His Majesty more than once that China's troops should be slowly withdrawn and mobilized to the Pacific! Now, for the empire,
The United States is the enemy."
Takeshita Jun nodded, "Can't the cabinet give you some more advice?"
"Hey, your Majesty is stubborn, you know it. What's more, those places in China are already in the hands of the empire. To spit it out for nothing is really..." Tojo Hideki shook his head.
"Then, what if we negotiate with China and make China pay a little price?" Takeshita Jun frowned. In fact, he hopes that Japan's troops will withdraw from China quickly. In this way, the conflict with China can also be resolved. After all, we are all in Asia.
nation.
"for example?"
"For some monetary things, land cannot be asked for. Once it asks for land, China will definitely not agree." Takeshita Jun sighed, "Now the empire is short of funds, but China has received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from the United States...
"
Tojo Hideki narrowed his eyes. Fighting on two or even three fronts is really difficult. If Takeshita Shun's idea can come true, it will actually be a good thing for the Japanese army. Moreover, they are really short of money. "In this matter,
I will advise His Majesty."
"Yeah." Takeshita Jun nodded.
"Well, I will also suggest to His Majesty that you be responsible for the operation of this matter."
"Yeah." Takeshita Jun continued to nod, "In fact, if war is compared to doing business, the empire is already losing money on the Chinese battlefield. Of course, unhealthy industries must stop losses in time. Otherwise, the empire will
Will be dragged down."
Tojo Hideki sighed. He naturally knew that what Takeshita Shun said was correct, but the industry in China is not a one-shot. If you really want to cut off the stop loss, someone has to be willing to do it. But it is true that if the loss is not stopped in time,
Japan will really be dragged down. There is no doubt about this. "I will talk to His Majesty first before talking about everything. Don't talk about it directly for a while. I will slowly sort it out in the cabinet and raise it."
.”
Takeshita Jun nodded and indicated that he understood. I am afraid that his cousin, the emperor, would not agree so easily. The independent division bombed Tokyo several times, the palace was destroyed many times, and the people suffered, and even the emperor's face,
It also left ugly scars, which was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation for him.
The emperor of a country was beaten like this. Naturally, he couldn't bear it. This is also the reason why Emperor Showa did not agree to the previous suggestion. He has been beaten like this, and you still want to withdraw your troops in China?
Where do we put him? Where do we put Japan's dignity?
The car drove smoothly.
Takeshita Jun looked at Tokyo from the window. On the streets, the expressions on the people's faces were numb, and there was not much excitement. At this stage of the war, the people were also numb, because no matter whether they won or not, they didn't have much excitement.
The difference is that life is becoming more and more stressful, the power is cut off from time to time, and I am starting to feel a little short of food.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the palace.
After getting off the car, Takeshita Shun followed Tojo Hideki into the palace and met Emperor Showa.
Emperor Showa is in a good mood today. Takeshita Jun is also his cousin after all. He is half of the royal family and has made great contributions. He also has face. At least, he has avenged him. Therefore, he is naturally happy that Takeshita Jun is back.
of.
When he saw Takeshita Jun, Emperor Showa happily said, "Takeshita-kun, welcome back."
"Takeshita Jun has met His Majesty." Takeshita Jun naturally met Emperor Showa.
"Haha, you're welcome." Emperor Showa was very happy. After all, Takeshita Jun was the hero. Although he did not assassinate Zhou Weiguo, the original intention of the independent division's navy has been solved. It can be said that one of them has really been eliminated.
Serious trouble.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Takeshita Jun nodded.
"Takeshita, your action this time has eliminated the independent division navy for the empire. It not only solved the empire's troubles, but also avenged the Tokyo people!" Emperor Showa smiled, "Before
Your achievements have been publicized throughout the country, and now you are the hero of the empire!"
"All this is the credit of my soldiers." Takeshita Jun is really not humble. In fact, he does not dare to take the credit. After all, in the future, the lie will be exposed one day. By then, he will be the emperor.
A hero or a sinner?
"Haha, you don't have to be modest! Now you are already a lieutenant general of the empire. At such a young age, the future of the empire is in your hands! Don't let me down!"
"Hi!" Takeshita Jun naturally responded. Japan's future is of course in the hands of their young people!
