Hirohito's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the photo in front of him with gloomy eyes.
At this time, it was already noon, and nearly four hours had passed since the Nagata Town murder case occurred. After Hirohito learned the news, he immediately summoned a group of ministers to hold an imperial meeting.
Before coming to attend the meeting, Masao Kameda, the director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, was informed to bring a batch of photos of the scene.
At this moment, the photos brought by Kameda Masao were placed in front of Hirohito, including the photo with the words in blood.
"Hai!" Kameda Masao paused and said in a solemn tone, "This is Xu Rui's warning to us, warning us not to pursue their whereabouts anymore, and also warning us not to attack the Chinese and overseas Chinese again, otherwise,
They will also create more horrific murders in Tokyo."
"Baga!" Tojo Hideki said angrily, "This is simply unreasonable, this is a threat!"
Tojo Hideki is really angry. It's like a scoundrel comes to your house and eats and drinks. Then you want to find a few friends to help, but the scoundrel warns you not to ask anyone to cause trouble for them, otherwise he will
Just burn your house down! In Tojo Hideki's impression, only the Japanese have ever done this on Chinese territory.
When will the world turn around and it will be the Chinese’s turn to run wild in Japan?
Kanwon Gong Zaijin was also very angry and said: "This is Tokyo, the capital of the Empire of Japan! However, a group of Chinese people came here and threatened that you are not allowed to resist their brutal acts, otherwise they will bloodbath the entire Tokyo
!I don’t know what you think, but I absolutely can’t stand this kind of humiliation!”
After a pause, Kanin Miya Zaijin roared at Kameda Masao again: "Also, what do you people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department do for food? It's been half a month, but you can't even find a few Chinese people.
If you don’t come out, what do you think you can do? Why don’t you die? You might as well all die!”
"Hai!" Kameda Masao could only nod his head repeatedly without daring to refute a word.
There is really no way to refute that they did not do a good job in pursuing Xu Rui and Langya.
Finally, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro said quietly: "Gentlemen, the matter has already happened. It will not help to get angry anymore. Now let's think about how to deal with it, right?"
Kameda Masao raised his head and glanced at Konoe Fumimaro gratefully.
Tokyo Governor Ishihara Inotaro wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to suspend the pursuit of Chinese and overseas Chinese in Tokyo, so as not to over-stimulate Xu Rui and his wolf fangs and launch more attacks on Tokyo.
Bloody revenge, this time it will be more than 100 households on two streets, next time it may be more than 1,000 households on 20 streets!"
"No!" Tojo Hideki said flatly, "This is a sign of weakness, absolutely not allowed!"
Ishihara Inotarō whispered: "Tojo-kun, this is just a temporary measure."
"Expedient measures will not work!" Tojo Hideki said arrogantly, "How can a majestic empire show weakness to a few Chinese people? If this matter spreads, where will the empire's face be put?"
Konoe Fumimaro then asked quietly: "So Tojo-kun, do you have a better countermeasure?"
Konoe Fumimaro is obviously on the side of Inotaro Ishihara and Masao Kameda, and feels that Xu Rui should not be overly stimulated.
To put it bluntly, Konoe Fumimaro was a little frightened by the wolf fangs of Xu Rui and his men. So many people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department spent more than ten days looking for them, but in the end they couldn't even find their hair, and they were still
Two streets were washed with blood. What does this mean? This shows that the Chinese espionage power in Tokyo is beyond imagination!
Therefore, if we continue to be tough, the price Tokyo will pay will only be greater!
Moreover, Konoe Fumimaro has another layer of worry. His Majesty the Emperor is hiding in the Imperial Palace and his safety is guaranteed, but senior officials like them cannot enjoy the same security as the Emperor. Xu Rui and his wolf fangs cannot do anything to the Emperor.
Your Majesty, will you take action against senior officials like them?
Konoe Fumimaro is even considering negotiating with Xu Rui.
Of course, at this stage, this is certainly unrealistic.
Tojo Hideki snorted and said in a deep voice: "This time Xu Rui and his wolf fangs did not hesitate to wash two blocks with blood to warn us, which is enough to show that our pursuit operation is close to the goal! The more in this kind of situation,
At critical moments, we have to withstand the pressure even more, so the pursuit of the Chinese and overseas Chinese must not stop, but must be further intensified!"
Kameda Masao then whispered: "I am not opposed to continuing to strengthen the pursuit of overseas Chinese, but our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is seriously short of manpower and material resources. Therefore, can the Ministry of War come forward to take charge of the next actions? We in Tokyo
The Metropolitan Police Department will definitely cooperate fully and will never hold back the Army Ministry."
"Hagagaru." Tojo Hideki immediately said angrily, "You are shirking your responsibility."
"Tojo-kun's words are serious." Masao Kameda was shirking responsibility, but he would never admit it. He bowed deeply to Hideki Tojo and said in a sincere tone, "The capabilities of our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are really limited.
I am afraid that we cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so we ask the Ministry of War to step forward and take over the heavy responsibility."
"Haga!" Tojo Hideki said angrily, "This is a public security matter in Tokyo. What does it have to do with our Ministry of War?"
Although Tojo Hideki is tough, he is not stupid. If the Ministry of War really takes over this hot potato, there will definitely be no good fruits to eat in the end. Besides, in Tokyo, they have to deal with Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang, Jingjing
The Ministry of War does indeed have an advantage over the Ministry of War, because this is simply not something that the army can solve.
Should one or two divisions be transferred to Tokyo and turn the entire Tokyo into a battlefield? What a joke!
Tokyo Governor Ishihara Inotaro and Kameda Masao were in the same trench. He immediately retorted: "What Tojo-kun said is wrong. The empire and China are currently at war, and now a group of Chinese soldiers have come to Tokyo to carry out sabotage operations."
"This is a military operation, so how can it be a security incident?"
The implication of Ishihara Inotaro's words is that this is all due to the incompetence of your Army Ministry. It was unable to deal with Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang on the Chinese battlefield. Instead, it allowed them to come to Tokyo. This huge disaster was clearly caused by your Army.
Why did we, the Tokyo Governor, take the blame in the end for someone who broke out?
"Hai." Kameda Masao said after a pause, "What the Governor said is absolutely true. This was originally a military operation, so it is reasonable for the Army Ministry to take over it."
Tojo Hideki immediately became anxious, and just as he was about to defend himself, Hirohito stood up abruptly.
"You two can argue slowly and let me know when there is a result." Hirohito stood up and left.
However, when he reached the door, Hirohito suddenly turned back and said in a deep voice: "Again, I don't care what the final result of your discussion is, whether it is to continue to strengthen the pursuit of the Chinese and overseas Chinese, or to settle the matter for the time being.
But I must attend the Kanda Festival four days later!"
After saying that, Hirohito turned around and walked away.
A group of ministers were left looking at each other in the imperial study.
After returning to his dormitory, Hirohito was still angry.
"A bunch of trash, all trash!" Hirohito said angrily, "The people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are especially useless. It took so long and they couldn't even find a few Chinese spies!"
There was obviously no one in the bedroom, and Hirohito seemed to be talking to himself. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a white figure walked out of the corner like a ghost, and Hirohito's eyes immediately fell on this pretty white figure.
, and it quickly became hot, and I wanted to swallow the white figure in one gulp.
This beautiful white figure is none other than Chiyoko Inoue who came back from Shanghai.
Chiyoko Inoue ignored Hirohito's scorching gaze and said calmly: "Faced with such a difficult opponent as Xu Rui, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Army Ministry will blame each other. This is human nature, and your Majesty does not need to mind."
Hirohito shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Miss Inoue, you have also seen what happened this time. This is Tokyo, but Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang are as if they are in China. Because of the deaths of a few overseas Chinese, they are right.
The people of the empire launched a bloody revenge, and the empire had nothing to do with him. This is really..."
After a short pause, Hirohito continued: "Xu Rui is so difficult to deal with, can I really participate in the Kanda Festival?"
I'm sorry, it's not that Hirohito wants to participate in the Kanda Festival, but Chiyoko Inoue's suggestion! Before, Hirohito just had doubts about participating in the Kanda Festival, but now, he is a little chickened out! After all, Hirohito is also very afraid of death.
, because in a large-scale festival event like the Kanda Festival, anything can happen.
Chiyoko Inoue said quietly: "Your Majesty, why don't you think about it the other way around?"
"Think about it the other way around?" Hirohito asked in confusion, "What do you mean, how do you think about it the other way around?"
Inoue Chiyoko said: "Does Your Majesty think that the Metropolitan Police Department or the Ministry of War might find Xu Rui?"
"I'm afraid that's quite embarrassing." Hirohito shook his head and said, "I know that Mouri Kogoro of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is a very famous detective. If he is still alive, it may be possible to find Xu Rui, but now Mr. Mouri has been killed.
, it may be impossible for the Metropolitan Police Department to find out Xu Rui and his men."
Chiyoko Inoue asked again: "What about the Army Department?"
"The Army Ministry is even more embarrassed." Hirohito shook his head and said, "This is not their job."
"Sodais." Chiyoko Inoue nodded slightly, and then said, "In other words, as long as Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang don't make mistakes on their own, the empire will have no way of catching them out." After a pause, Chiyoko Inoue continued.
Said, "This means that they will continue to lurk in Tokyo until the opportunity comes!"
