Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Hirohito looked at the ugly-looking generals and ministers who were whispering to each other. His originally worried face became relaxed. What he wanted was this effect. When the generals and ministers were at a loss, he could act arbitrarily.  , throwing out a well-thought-out plan, showing His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom and wisdom, and can also deter these rebellious generals.

    The wise ministers and generals noticed His Majesty the Emperor's face and suddenly understood one thing. Why did His Majesty the Emperor ignore the opposition of many people and even the danger of being accused by the people regarding the blackmail by the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli?  Humiliatingly accepting Tang Qiuli's conditions and taking out ten tons of gold from the already tense treasury to satisfy the greedy Chinese man's request, had he already thought of today?

    Although they had some guesses, none of the ministers and generals who reacted could pierce this layer of paper. It was better not to say anything until they could fully see His Majesty the Emperor's steps. Furthermore, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.  , if you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous, so just sit back and watch.

    There are smart people, and there are fools. Lieutenant General Takashima Yuji, the director of naval training, jumped up and pointed his finger at Lieutenant General Kobayashi, director of the military intelligence bureau of the base camp, "Mr. Kobayashi, can you guarantee that this information is true?"  Sex? Can this be completely ruled out as a trap by the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli? It is related to the fate of the empire, so we have to be cautious!"

    To be honest, it was a bit rash for Takashima to jump out. Many of the big guys here, in terms of military rank, official position, status, prestige, and the weight of their words, were several times more powerful than him. They didn't say anything. It was your lieutenant general's turn to be pretentious.  Tailed wolf?  I was able to attend today's imperial meeting because I borrowed the light of Admiral Shigemitsu Kuiichi, the Minister of the Navy.

    "Besides, your assumption makes no sense. Mr. Xiao Lin has already said that this information was obtained from the Americans. What does it have to do with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli?"  Is it possible that the Americans and the Chinese colluded to defraud the Japanese Empire?

    The generals of the army and a group of civil servants looked at this brainless vice admiral and several big bosses of the navy with gloating eyes.  There was an anxious look on his face. Before he could stop him, Takashima got up and fired off the cannon. Originally, it was right to raise questions, but there is something wrong with the angle of your questioning, some big guys from the Navy.  He looked at Takashima with an unkind expression and cursed in his mind, "Idiot and stupid pig!"

    Takashima is not a stupid person, but today he just saw that the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Kobayashi, was not pleased with him, and the fire in his stomach was rising. At the root of the matter, it was still a matter of the Navy's Third Fleet.  Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi is Takashima's cousin. The entire Third Fleet was wiped out, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi's body was not found.  In Takashima's view, it was all the fault of the Military Intelligence Agency for failing to provide information in a timely manner.

    He had an account in his mind. As an important component of the base camp, the Military Intelligence Bureau clearly favored the Army in terms of intelligence support. When the Third Fleet set out for the Andaman Sea, it did not receive any intelligence support during the more than ten days of sailing.  , and at the same time.  Yanzaburo Ito in Yangon, however, received a lot of information.

    After the incident between the Third Fleet and his cousin, Takashima used various relationships and contacts to investigate behind the scenes, and the results he obtained further strengthened his idea.  Isn't this obvious discrimination?  Thinking of the long-standing dispute between land and sea, Xiaolin's scapegoat is finally confirmed.

    Takashima knew that his headstrong and arrogant cousin Kiyoshi Hasegawa simply dismissed the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau. He would rather believe the intelligence from the navy than from the army system.  Takashima, who was unaware of the information from the Intelligence Bureau, kept this tone in his heart.

    He always wanted to find an opportunity to unleash the evil fire in his heart, but he could never get to the door of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The opportunity came now, so as soon as Xiaolin finished reading the information, Takashima couldn't wait to jump out and show up openly.  It was to question the source and authenticity of Kobayashi's intelligence, but the actual intention was to provoke a dispute and, by extension, lift the lid in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Even if the insidious guy Kobayashi could not be brought down, he could still  He vented his anger for his dead cousin.

    Lieutenant General Kobayashi Hideyama's face was very ugly. He felt very angry that Takashima, who was not even an acquaintance, suddenly jumped out to attack him. He felt as if he was being shot while lying down. This and that and that.  ?  When will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks and speak in layman's terms? Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

    Xiaolin thought that he had not offended this Takadao, and was about to retort. He looked at Takadao, who was glaring with bull's eyes, as arrogant as a fighting cock, and was preparing to have a big quarrel with him. He suddenly felt very bored, and with such a person.  I don¡¯t know that the quarrel between the light-headed and heavy-tongued guys has a certain identity.

    Xiao Lin was confident in his heart. A few hours ago, when he hurriedly presented the information to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty said to himself seriously: "You are a meritorious official of the Japanese Empire. If you work hard, I"I will treat you badly," the words were still ringing in his ears. With this confidence, Xiaolin felt calm in his heart. Takashima was not attacking himself, but His Majesty the Emperor's judgment. Unlucky guy, you will not be able to enjoy your good fruits!

    Sure enough, when Emperor Hirohito saw this short-sighted guy, he jumped out of his mind and questioned this information that was crucial to the Japanese Empire. He felt disgusted and annoyed, "The facts are obvious, do we have to wait until the United States?"  You didn't admit the truth until someone took action?" If he were an important minister, Hirohito would still have to consider the impact and save some face.

    But for such a low-ranking guy who is barely qualified to participate in the Imperial Council, and a small naval vice-admiral, Hirohito will never save face. What's more, even without this information, he has no intention of letting the Americans go.  Time is just running late, "Attendant, kick him out, disqualify him from participating in the imperial meeting, strip him of his military rank, and go home to think about his mistakes behind closed doors to see the consequences!" Hirohito said coldly.

    Several attendants came up and without saying a word, they tore off Takashima's military rank and ignored his shouting "Unjust". They pulled and pulled Takashima out of the meeting hall. Unlucky Takashima, in an inappropriate situation  , did the stupidest thing in an inappropriate way. Isn't this unfortunate?

    This was just a small episode and did not affect the continuation of the meeting at all. Emperor Hirohito asked slowly: "Fellow ministers, what do you think? Are we, the Empire of Japan, prepared to go to war with the Americans?"

    Isn't this obvious? It's just questioning the authenticity of the intelligence. Before raising objections, a vice-admiral became a civilian. What's more, no matter whether the Americans are ready to take action or not, the empire will inevitably have a war with the United States. Southeast Asia's  A fertile land, rich in mineral resources, it is a big piece of oily fat. No one except the Empire of Japan has the power to occupy it.

    However, the movements and attitude of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli are the only factors that restrict whether the empire will use troops in Southeast Asia. If the Americans really join forces with Tang Qiuli, the Japanese Empire will have no guarantee of victory. Hirohito saw that the ministers and generals  He was very happy that these important ministers under his command had not lost their ability to think.

    Regarding this point, Hirohito also thought about it carefully and consulted many ministers and generals. He came to the conclusion that the possibility of Tang Qiuli joining forces with the Americans was very slim. Various previous signs also showed that Tang Qiuli would join forces with the Americans.  The relationship between Li and MacArthur is not even a matter of face and heart. It is nothing more than wishful thinking of the Americans and a piece of Allied treaty that forcefully dragged them together.

    Moreover, what Americans were most worried about at the moment was not the Japanese Empire, but Tang Qiuli, whose power was rapidly expanding. However, Hirohito still wanted to give the ministers some reassurance. He asked Zai Ren: "That Chinese devil Tang Qiuli?"  Li, what¡¯s going on recently?¡±

    Zai Ren understood the idea and knew what his brother needed. He stood up and returned respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the report of Major General Kawashima, Chief of Staff of the Empire's Southeast Asia Expedition Force, Tang Qiuli said this after receiving the gold,  Within the current scope, the empire can do what it wants, and he will never interfere.¡±

    Hirohito laughed proudly. Now it seems that he was very clever in resisting the pressure and losing money to avoid disaster. The ministers and generals looked at His Majesty the Emperor with admiration. To be fair, they did not expect that the empire had paid so much.  Ten tons of gold, but the harvest was huge. Without Tang Qiuli to worry about it, the US military in Southeast Asia was just a piece of cake.

    Hirohito stood up from the throne, his face flushed like a fever patient, and he looked at the audience fiercely. The ministers and generals also stood up quickly. They knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already made a decision, and they only needed to express their stance.

    Hirohito said: "My ministers, for the future of the Japanese Empire, are you ready to fight the Americans at any cost?" The ministers and generals were excited and shouted: "But according to His Majesty's decree,  "Fight to the death with the Americans," especially the navy and army generals, even started to argue fiercely over who should attack the Americans first.

    Hirohito stood on the high imperial steps, his heart surging and the aura that swallowed up mountains and rivers suddenly arose in his heart. He changed his feminine tone and said loudly: "The general staff of the base camp is responsible for formulating the Southeast Asian combat plan. My request  Yes, in four months, that is, before the end of June this year, the rising sun flag of our Empire of Japan will be planted in the American sphere of influence. Well, the relevant departments can start the preliminary preparations now!"

    On such an ordinary night, with fine snowflakes floating on the streets of Tokyo, a premeditated plan was born, which was destined to change the strategic pattern of Southeast Asia. MacArthur, who was accustomed to playing tricks, never imagined that he had been targeted by the Japanese.  All of this is happening right now in Kuala Lumpur, wandering around the beautiful seabed with Liu Xinlan.What the Tang Qiuli of the world hopes for.
