    Chapter 703 Crazy (End)

    After Prime Minister Hai and the Prince went to the palace, Tokyo seemed to have suddenly returned to calm, but some people knew very well that there were more terrifying whirlpools under the calm surface.  After a day's work, Okada Keisuke rubbed his forehead. At this time, he felt like he was driving a broken ship with leaks everywhere. This was an experience he had never had before in his smooth career.

    The assassination of Aizawa suddenly pushed him, the Navy Prime Minister, to the forefront. What should we do next?  Should we compromise with the military or follow the emperor's will to clean up the interior?  As one of the few politicians who retained the style of Taisho Demokrasi, he actively advocated granting more rights to the emperor. It was precisely because of his hesitant character that it was even more difficult for him to make a choice.

    Although the weather has not reached its hottest yet, he still felt uncomfortable sitting in the study. He couldn't help but pat the table: "Bring me some wine, hurry up!"

    Okada was forbidden to drink alcohol due to medical reasons, so after hearing the shouting, his daughter quickly made him tea and brought it into the study as usual.  Seeing the tea again, Okada was very angry and scolded him with a cold face: "Go get the wine, I don't want to drink this tasteless thing!"

    "Father, your body."

    "Stop talking nonsense and go!"

    Facing her father¡¯s rare irritability, the well-behaved daughter had to lower her head, hold tea and prepare to leave. But just after opening the door, several sergeants wearing the uniforms of the palace guards appeared at the door.  Seeing the person coming, Okada Keisuke trembled all over and his eyes suddenly dimmed.

    Seeing them, Okada immediately realized that the thing he least expected to come had arrived. Emperor Hirohito finally took action.  So he sighed deeply in his heart, stood up, grabbed his hat and asked the visitor: "Is it tonight?" Although the visitor did not speak, he nodded.

    "Hideko, go pack your mother's things. We have to leave here." Okada fell silent and stopped talking after a word of concern.  Half an hour later, the Japanese Prime Minister, who had been in power for less than a year, quietly disappeared into the darkness under the cover of night.

    When Keisuke Okada left the Prime Minister's Office, the Guards Division was extremely busy.  Those officers who participated in the Aizawa assassination incident and were ordered to return to their posts showed no intention of repenting. Instead, they felt that they were being suppressed, especially when the Navy reported that it would not compromise on military expenditures, and the Prime Minister of the Navy ordered Admiral Jinzaburo Masaki to resign.  It completely ignited them.

    Amidst the sound of rifles being assembled, the eyes of thousands of soldiers of the Third Regiment turned red. Boxes of ammunition were opened, distributed, and pressed into the magazine slots. Blood bands were tied to their foreheads.  The officers wiped their bayonets with expensive white silk scarves, and the soldiers tightened their leggings in preparation for a showdown.  At first, there was silence in the military camp, but after a while, as the first fully armed team walked into the grassland to gather, the noise and noise suddenly overwhelmed the entire military camp.

    Countless pairs of eyes stared at this place through the darkness, but those partners who had not received orders not to participate in the operation not only did not stand up to stop it, but on the contrary, they looked excited and wanted to join in.  here we go!  It¡¯s finally starting!  Those British and American lackeys, those imperial traitors who wanted to compromise with China and humiliated themselves, will finally be punished.

    Finally, this commotion alerted several military police who were stationed outside to monitor the situation. When they rushed into the playground and saw the densely packed black heads, their scalps were numb.  But their duty forced them to rush forward and shout loudly to expel the soldiers: "Who ordered you to gather at night? Go back quickly, no one can leave here. Where is Major Teruzo Ando? Major Yasuhide Kurihara, where is it? Hurry up.  Come out! Let the soldiers go back, this will not solve the problem, no one can leave here."

    The military police loudly tried to persuade the soldiers to go back, but the officers whose names were called pushed through the crowd and walked out. They were as murderous as the soldiers, wearing headbands and their eyes were red: "If you still think you are soldiers of the army, just  Get out of the way! What we want to overthrow are those lackeys, and we want to rescue General Masaki Jinzaburo who speaks the truth for the Army!"

    The fierce words and eyes made the military police lower their guns involuntarily. Seeing that they were shocked, the soldiers who had been well prepared raised their rifles high and rushed towards the ignorant Tokyo city shouting slogans such as "Heaven punishes the national traitors".

    After the night of May 10th, which made Japan heartbroken, another mutiny with profound influence broke out in Japanese history. Coincidentally, this mutiny happened to be one month after the May 10th memorial ceremony, and was later called the 610th Mutiny.

    Soldiers chanting slogans such as "Save the country," "Qing Jun side," "Execute the traitors," etc. rushed into the city. Their first target was the Prime Minister's Office.  At the same time, Masaki Jinzaburo, who had already received the news, knew that he should make a last ditch effort. When the Guards Division set off, he also ordered his old unit, the Sakura Regiment of the First Division, to send troops to cooperate.

    If time could be frozen, Japan at this moment would be extremely exciting!  More than three thousand soldiers with red eyes rushed inIt is impossible for the city to conceal everything 100%, so Okamura Neiji and others received the call immediately, but they finally chose to gather at the military headquarters and wait in silence.  The Navy Ministry also received a call, and Nagano Shushen also did nothing. He just picked up the phone and asked Yokosuka to send two destroyers to Tokyo as a precaution.  In the palace, Okada Keisuke, Prince Zaihito, and Foreign Minister Hirota Koki, known as the right-wing leader, were sitting in front of Emperor Hirohito without saying a word.

    When Japan was used as a pawn in the strategic confrontation between Yang Qiu and Roosevelt, this pawn also began to frantically agitate, hoping to get out of the chess game.

    The first group of mutinous soldiers quickly rushed to the Prime Minister's Office. Since Okada Keisuke left secretly, the soldiers on guard outside the Prime Minister's Office did not know.  Major Yokoyama, the guard captain who was loyal to his duty, pulled out his pistol and blocked the mutinous soldiers with his chest: "What do you want to do? This is the Prime Minister's Office, leave quickly! Come on, martial law, be careful."

    Major Hengshan¡¯s obstruction angered the mutinous soldiers. After the bullet penetrated his chest, hundreds of soldiers rushed in.  They frantically rushed into every room and pulled out every staff member. When they learned that the Prime Minister was not here, they left a small team of guards behind and rushed to Fujii Masanobu's home.

    Fujii Masanobu is discussing with Saito Minoru under the lamp how to use the US$500 million loan.  The latter is the former Prime Minister and the leader of the Anglo-American faction in the navy. He is a politician who unswervingly supports the signing of the naval treaty and supports compromise with China.  This is not to say that he does not want to restore Japan, but that he knows that restoring national stability is more important. Only by stopping armaments and learning from Yang Qiu and prioritizing national construction can he accumulate strength for future strikes.

    Therefore, after learning that the United States had provided a loan of 500 million, he believed that this was a good opportunity to alleviate the economic difficulties. He believed that he should take this opportunity to strengthen relations with the United States and proactively move closer to place Japan at the vanguard of the United States' containment strategy against China.  Therefore, we do not agree with the Navy continuing to build new warships.  I came to see Fujii tonight to persuade him to reduce allocations to the military as much as possible and use the money for people's livelihood.

    "Saito-kun, I agree with your idea of ??putting the people before the army, but I'm afraid our dream will not be realized." Fujii looked worried, picked up the tea cup and shook his head.

    Saito Minoru asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

    "Saito-kun, it's been almost a year since you left?" Fujii sighed and slowly turned his eyes towards the palace: "Things have changed. Prince Okaku Genio and Prince Zaihi have already gone to see the emperor. I'm afraid they are thinking  Invite the Emperor to take charge. The Navy Ministry has also proposed a plan for eight warships to the Emperor. The Army Ministry has also requested to double the current force, purchase more tanks, and expand the garrison in North Korea and Nanhuatai Island.  quantity."

    "How is this possible?" Hearing that Prince Okaku Genio and Prince Zaihi actually wanted the emperor to take charge, Saito Minoru's expression changed: "The path of constitutional government is the world's advanced experience. We should stick to this path and not go backwards.  Go back! Why are they so confused? Such a shipbuilding plan will only offend Britain and the United States, and will mistakenly think that we are expanding to the Pacific. The Army is also stupid and has expanded its troops and increased North Korea's military strength. Even Nanhuatai Island has  To increase the number, isn't this a deliberate attempt to anger China Yang Qiu? This will make him hostile to the empire again! These people! What are they thinking? Don't they know that the empire must not be attacked by two fronts? "

    Fujii Masanobu smiled bitterly: "Saito-kun, those who understand are still in the hospital. Those who don't understand did not order the collection of the weapons of the Guards Division, and let Jinzaburo Masaki continue to sit in the general position! Don't you understand?  ?"

    These words made Saito Minoru's eyebrows jump sharply, and he stood up in surprise: "Fujii-kun means the Emperor." "Bang bang." Before he finished speaking, a burst of dense gunfire suddenly approached rapidly from far to near.  Saito Minoru, a soldier, naturally knew what the sound was. When he turned around, a faint sigh sounded in his ears: "They are still here."

    More than a dozen mutinous soldiers rushed into the house. Before Fujii Masanobu and Saito Minoru could react, first the guards were beaten to death on the spot, and then several family members were also taken into custody. Finally, the soldiers grabbed the two and dragged them to the yard.  Inside, shouting "national traitor" and fired a series of bullets.

    The bloody night was extremely terrifying. Amidst running, shouting, explosions, flames and the sound of bullets flying, loyal soldiers and fellow mutineers shed blood on the streets. The entire city was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.  When the rising sun showed its blush, more than a dozen feudal lords and constitutional leaders, including Fujii Shinobu and former Prime Minister Saito Minoru, were all killed. Even Admiral Kobayashi Nobuzo was injured. If it were not for the desperate protection of the guards, he would have already entered the  Followed by the former.

    It was only after dawn that the citizens of Tokyo discovered that the city had been occupied by mutinous soldiers. The Prime Minister's Office and the National Assembly and other places were full of mutinous soldiers. Roads were blocked by deerwood and grids. Even reporters who wanted to see what was going on had their cameras robbed and smashed.  Later he was imprisoned.

    The arrogance is fierce!

    The whole??There are fierce rebel soldiers in Kyoto!.
