    Facing the expectant gaze of the Emperor, Prince Zai Ren smiled bitterly in his heart, "What suggestions can I have for the Hong Kong issue? That despicable China devil Tang Qiuli has pushed the Empire of Japan to the point where there is no room for maneuver.  From the bottom of my heart, the price the empire has paid for more than 10,000 dead ghosts is not worth it anyway. But the key now is not how much gold is given, but the impact on the people's hearts and morale of the Empire of Japan.  The problem."

    Prince Zai Ren sighed inwardly, "That Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is indeed a master of conspiracy and tricks. With just a simple move, the Japanese Empire had to stand up and be shot without being able to hide!  "

    Regarding the fierce remarks of the Minister of War, Koichi Mineuchi, Prince Zain looked down from the bottom of his heart, "As a Jie Jiajiawufu, you know what politics is. You, Koichi Mineuchi, can make such an impassioned speech. The soldiers who are still fighting on the front line, and those who died in battle,  Relatives may not think so.¡±

    On the Hong Kong issue that could no longer be changed, Prince Zai Ren was not going to make any more worthless remarks and should appropriately change the subject of the meeting. Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, I think that on the Hong Kong issue, we can only follow the  When we go to negotiate on the conditions proposed by Tang Qiuli, what worries me the most is Singapore¡¯s problems!¡±

    Sure enough, as soon as Prince Zai Ren's words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of several people to a new topic. Emperor Hirohito asked in confusion: "Zai Ren, why do you worry so much about the Singapore issue?"

    The Minister of War, General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ryosuke Nishitara.  Neither of them spoke. This was a conversation between His Majesty the Emperor and his brothers.  He couldn't get a word in, and besides, the two of them still hadn't figured out what kind of medicine this emperor's younger brother, who was known for his scheming, was selling in the gourd.

    Prince Zai Ren said unhurriedly: "Brother, Singapore hangs alone in a corner of the Indochina Peninsula, separated from the main force of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force. Across the Strait of Malacca, since the commander-in-chief of the Expedition Force, General Ito Genzaburo, has  After Singapore mobilized most of its troops and joined the battlefield on Luzon Island, the Imperial Army's garrison strength in Singapore is very empty. At present, it is only a little more than one brigade. "

    "What my brother is worried about is whether the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli has set his sights on Singapore from Hong Kong. According to his personality, he cannot tolerate Singapore becoming the bridgehead for the empire's counterattack on the Indochina Peninsula in the future. Therefore, we must do it in advance.  Be prepared, plan ahead, and formulate a contingency plan for Singapore. There are only two options: one is to stick to it, and the other is to give up. There is no other way!¡±

    After Zai Ren said this, several people, including Emperor Hirohito, fell silent. Regardless of whether they agreed with Zai Ren's statement or not, it was undeniable that his words made sense. Singapore's current status was indeed very embarrassing.  It is useless and stubborn, and it will inevitably distract part of the troops of the Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force. At present, the empire's next strategic direction is Australia and Luzon Island. Only by occupying the entire Australian continent can the Japanese Empire truly control the entire continent.  Pacific region.

    Because Singapore, repeatedly fighting with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, does not seem to be in line with the current overall strategy of the empire, and the gains outweigh the losses. Furthermore, even if it is to stick to it, no one can estimate how much the empire will pay for it. Tang Qiuli¡¯s main force  The combat corps are all gathered on the front line of Indochina. If a fight breaks out, the empire will definitely not be able to take any advantage. Otherwise, it may become the next Hong Kong.

    But if they just give up like this, several of the core Japanese decision-makers here are obviously reluctant to give up. The appetite of the Japanese Empire is not just a Pacific region. Indochina, including mainland China, has long been under their control.  In my mind, it was designated as the future territory of the Japanese Empire, and Singapore's special strategy and geographical location were the best bridgehead for future counterattacks on Indochina and mainland China.

    This is an extremely painful dilemma. Several people's eyes were turned to Emperor Hirohito, who was frowning and thinking hard. In the end, it was the boss who made the decision. The opinions of others are for reference only!

    Emperor Hirohito raised his head, with a pained expression on his face, and a look of reluctance and hatred in his eyes. Ever since the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli appeared in mainland China, Emperor Hirohito has been heartbroken.  It hurts a lot, isn't it?

    Emperor Hirohito said: "Zairen's proposal is very timely and important. Regarding Singapore, we are based on giving up. The General Staff issued an order to the Singapore garrison. Once Tang Qiuli's troops show signs of attacking Singapore, they must evacuate immediately."  There should be no unnecessary resistance here. Of course, before our Imperial Japanese Army withdraws from Singapore, we will not leave an entire city to the Chinese devil. Zai Ren, you must personally supervise this matter!"

    Zai Ren nodded, and Emperor Hirohito continued: "About the formation?As for the remains of the soldiers in Hong Kong, do we accept the conditions proposed by that despicable Tang Qiuli?  "This is to consult several people. In other words, Hirohito doesn't want to carry such a useless thing alone.

    After a moment of silence, several people nodded in unison, and Emperor Hirohito continued: "Well, dear Nisido, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send important officials to set off to Hong Kong today to fight with that damn China devil Tang Qiuli.  Negotiate relevant matters. In addition, I have ordered the treasury to prepare gold and arrive in Hong Kong randomly. Alas, our Empire of Japan has once again been extorted by that despicable Chinaman! "

    Emperor Hirohito's words were filled with deep reluctance and helplessness. Several ministers also lowered their heads. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to have to deal with this matter. They were clearly being ripped off, and there was no room for bargaining.  How could he be such a coward and be so heartbroken!

    After being troubled for a moment, Emperor Hirohito's eyes flashed with fierceness, and his tone became sinister. He asked the Minister of War, General Koichi Mineuchi, "My dear Mineuchi, who else is in the family of that scum Paul Gavin?"

    General Minai Koichi's heart trembled, "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is going to vent his anger on Paul Garvin's family. They are all members of the Army system. Originally, for the sake of Pao Ze, he should have reached out and pulled him away.  It¡¯s not as bad as the family, but in the current situation, His Majesty the Emperor is already murderous, and there is nothing he can do to help. Besides, it doesn¡¯t seem worth it to stand up for a scum of the empire! "

    Koichi Mineuchi replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Paul Garvin has two sons, one is serving in the Navy and the other is serving in the Army, both are lieutenant-level officers, and there is also a daughter who is studying at the Imperial Army Medical School and will graduate next year.  His wife passed away two years ago. He also has a younger brother who runs a large company and is a very financially powerful person. This is the basic situation! "

    Emperor Hirohito gave a gloomy "hum" and said: "Let the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters be responsible for inspecting Paul Garvin's property, as well as that of his younger brother, and also confiscating his two properties to the national treasury.  His son was sent to the front line, and his daughter did not have to wait until graduation. She was also sent to the front line to boost the morale of the imperial soldiers. In addition, Paul Gavin's direct relatives were also investigated and punished. No one was allowed to  Please plead for this scum, Minai, please take charge of this matter. After all, it is your army system¡¯s fault!¡±

    "The reason why I have dealt so harshly with Paul Garvin's matter is to let the local people know that betraying the Empire of Japan and me will never end well!" His Majesty the Emperor told all Japanese people of this fact in a few words.  Although Paul Gavin died, his family could not escape the implication. There were words hidden in Emperor Hirohito's heart that he did not say, "The Paul family is very financially powerful, so use it to make up for my losses!"

    Now that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has opened his mouth, Pauli Gavin's family is completely unlucky. According to Japanese domestic media estimates, there are no less than 300 people implicated, although it has not reached the level of implicating the nine clans and the three clans.  , four tribes and even five tribes, there are still some.

    On the afternoon of July 25, Japan's special envoy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who was responsible for handling the remains of soldiers killed in battle, flew to Hong Kong and requested to meet with General Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, to discuss specific matters on the basis of the agreed conditions.  Bilateral negotiations.

    Hong Kong, in Tang Qiuli's office, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked: "Commander, the Japanese special envoy has arrived. Do you want to meet him?"

    Tang Qiuli snorted and said: "I have no need and don't want to meet the Japanese. With this, Yuhe immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Quan, the Minister of Logistics in Kunming, appointing him as the chief engineer to handle the matter.  Plenipotentiary, you can fly to Hong Kong. Our Minister Zhang is an experienced bargainer. It is very suitable for him to deal with the Japanese. He can only take advantage and never suffer any losses! "

    Zhang Quan, who received the order, was still confused at first. When he figured out that he was cutting meat from Japanese people, he immediately became more energetic.  A large team of staff from the Logistics Department and Iron Abacus took two special planes and landed at the Hong Kong Airport a few hours later.

    At the meeting before takeoff, Zhang Quan mobilized in this way, "Everyone knows that the personnel of the relevant departments of our Logistics Department flew to Hong Kong this time to implement the order of the division headquarters to deal with the issue of the bodies of Japanese soldiers killed in action.  When dealing with little devils, everyone should remember that the knife must be quick and the strike must be ruthless. The teacher has already done the preliminary work. Next, it is up to us to see how much fat we can cut off from the little devils.  Meat, everyone knows it, just give the little devil a breath!"
