Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As for the Japanese navy, they felt aggrieved and angry. A battle of annihilation that they were originally full of confidence had ended in such a humiliating and disadvantageous manner. It was not because the army deliberately caused a stumbling block. Therefore, with the smell of gunpowder, the navy rushed to the Emperor's Palace.  The big bosses in the department don¡¯t want an explanation, but justice!

    His Majesty the Emperor, who had just embraced a charming and lively concubine, was about to show off his majesty as an emperor and sow dragon seeds in his beloved concubine. After receiving the report from the attendant, he looked helpless and took it back.  Rubbing the concubine Yufeng's dragon claws, vomiting from the mouth, suppressing the burning desire in her lower abdomen, surrounded by the attendants, her face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water, and she arrived at the front hall.  .

    It¡¯s no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor was unhappy. Those big bosses from the Navy arrived at the wrong time. They happened to catch up with His Majesty the Emperor who was about to have a hand-to-hand fight with his beloved concubine. The man met him at the stall.  I am so angry at being interrupted by life and death that I have thoughts of murder. Besides, I have three hundred and sixty-five days a year, how many times can I have such an impulse? The state affairs are heavy, and I waste my time and energy for the sake of the big day.  For the sake of the billions of subjects of this empire, can't I be allowed to have a moment of fun?

    Emperor Hirohito walked towards the meeting hall with a sullen face, thinking angrily, if these guys who disturb my entertainment late at night come to bother me with trivial things, how will I deal with you?  Emperor Hirohito secretly gritted his teeth and became furious!

    When they arrived at the place, several senior officials from the Navy talked about the situation, and then submitted the battle situation report carefully crafted by Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Lieutenant General Okamura Masao to the imperial review. After Hirohito  The emperor's untimely mood disappeared immediately, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

    This is no longer a matter of the army and navy using tactics, stumbling behind each other, slandering and attacking each other, but this approach involves a serious issue of weakening the foundation of the Japanese Empire. The army and navy are my right-hand men.  , now, it happened that his left arm used a knife to chop off his right arm. Isn't this Bajie chewing the pig's trotters and mutilating his own flesh and blood?

    The storm did not stop and it was consuming the military power of the Empire of Japan. There was no mention of the Empire of Japan's great cause of dominating Asia and the Pacific. Emperor Hirohito was furious and was about to order severe punishment for the culprit Ito Genzaburo. Suddenly he calmed down and felt in his heart  He muttered, "It stands to reason that Ito Genzaburo doesn't have such courage, and the army doesn't dare to do anything that harms the fundamental interests of the Japanese Empire. There must be a reason for this!"

    Looking at the several indignant generals, they were all from the navy. This sounded a bit like one-sided remarks. Emperor Hirohito thought for a while, "We can't call people from the army into the palace to explain face to face. Otherwise, when we meet, we will  The two groups of people fighting have made my head hurt, and this matter has become entangled!"

    Having made up his mind, Emperor Hirohito said slowly: "My beloved ministers, please be patient for now. The aide-de-camp will immediately summon Chief of Staff Zaihito to the palace for important military affairs discussions!"

    Prince Zai Ren, who had already fallen asleep, didn't know why his brother, the emperor, summoned him to the palace in the middle of the night.  Seeming to be quite anxious, he hurried to the palace by car. In the car, Prince Zairen, the chief of general staff, went through all the major events in his mind. The Southwest Pacific battlefield was fought extremely smoothly. Ito Yanzaburo had already  Invading Australia and fully occupying Australia is just around the corner. Is there anything important to do to get the house on fire?

    Prince Zai Ren frowned and racked his brains to guess the purpose of the Emperor summoning him. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "Could it be because the Second Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Navy failed to complete the annihilation in the Coral Sea?"  Regarding the enemy mission, I have already seen this battle report. Could it be that there is a stir? "

    In fact, what Prince Zai Ren saw was a report about the Navy's failure to complete the mission of annihilating the enemy. At that time, he secretly despised the Navy and just snatched the mission from the Army. The result was really ridiculous.  , and the processed reports of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Lieutenant General Masao Okamura were sent directly to the Navy Ministry. Therefore, Prince Zain, even as the Chief of General Staff, has not yet seen it.

    When he arrived at the palace, when he saw a few navy bosses with unkind expressions, Prince Zai Ren suddenly understood everything in his heart. He dared to love the emperor and pulled him over in the middle of the night. It was because he was here to help. After watching Shirakawa Yi  After Lieutenant General Zhe and Lieutenant General Masao Okamura's report, they already knew it in their hearts.

    I'm afraid there's something hidden in this. Even if Ito Genzaburo had the courage, he wouldn't dare to do that. As for saying that the top brass of the Army had the instructions, it's even more nonsense. As the Chief of General Staff, the big boss of the Army should dare to go beyond that.  If he gave such a weak-minded and bastard order, wouldn't he be seeking death? Besides, Army Minister Mineuchi Koichi would not be so stupid.

    Prince Zairen did not speak after reading the report. Firstly, the Emperor was here, and secondly, the Navy also knew that his shitI am biased toward the Army. This rash opening is tantamount to showing off and excusing our Army. No matter how reasonable the words are, the big bosses of the Navy who have been carried away by anger will inevitably think wrongly.  It¡¯s also troublesome to come up like a swarm of people and accuse yourself of being partial!

    Seeing his Prince Zain bowing his head and not saying anything, Emperor Hirohito still didn¡¯t know the little thoughts of his ghostly younger brother, so he secretly cursed in his heart, ¡°What a slippery guy!¡±

    Helpless, Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to ask: "Zairen, you are the Chief of General Staff. What do you think of this matter? I want to hear your opinion!"

    Facing the cannibalistic looks of several big men in the Navy, Prince Zai Ren said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter involves major matters and is already a major incident that endangers the national interests of the Japanese Empire.  Before the truth is found out, we should not deal with it easily. Should we order the commander-in-chief of the theater, General Ito Genzaburo, to explain this? If it is really his deliberate act, it will not be too late to punish him severely and give justice to the navy. Otherwise, it will  It chilled the hearts of the army officers.¡±

    Several navy bosses were so angry that their eyes turned black. This emperor's younger brother, the current chief of general staff of the base camp, basically wears the same pants as the guys in the army, and it is a common thing for them to get side by side. Count on him.  To be able to speak for the navy, one must be able to climb a tree, but what they said makes sense. In a lawsuit, you need to face confrontation, and you can't listen to your own words. There is no other way but to accept Prince Zai Ren's suggestion.

    In fact, Emperor Hirohito also had the same idea, but it was just that he said it himself, as if he was arguing for the army, which was not conducive to his control. If the navy had a grudge, it would be unsightly. Now, Zai  Prince Hitoshi's suggestion is exactly what I want. "Zairohito, you should be responsible for this matter. You must come up with a fair statement that everyone agrees with and convinces!" Emperor Hirohito said sternly.

    Then, he turned his attention to several navy bosses who were full of carelessness and asked kindly: "My dear friends, what do you think of my treatment?"

    Several navy bosses were speechless for a while. My Majesty the Emperor, isn't this nonsense? You have already made arrangements with your golden words. Why are you still asking for our opinions? If you object in person, you are asking for trouble. You don't want to mess around in the Japanese Empire.  "I am willing to listen to His Majesty the Emperor's decree, and I have no objection!" Several people suppressed their nausea and replied respectfully. However, judging from their faces, they all felt as if their IQ had been insulted by His Majesty the Emperor!

    What General Ito slapped on the table angrily was the telegram sent by the General Staff asking him to explain the facts of the Battle of Coral Sea. Prince Zain was quite a kind man. After the telegram ordering General Ito to explain the situation was sent, he  The complaint telegrams from Baichuan and Gangcun were sent at the same time, word for word, for fear that he would not know where to start and suffer the consequences of being dumb.

    His temper has gone out, he has finished cursing, and what needs to be done still needs to be done. Not only the Chief of General Staff, Prince Zain, is waiting for a reply, but even His Majesty the Emperor is anxious to see the results, and there are also the navy gang who are grasping the matter.  Those who refused to let go, General Ito had a big head. He looked at the silent chief of staff and said: "Kawashima-kun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

    When Major General Ito lost his temper and scolded his mother, Major General Kawashima was already thinking about how to reply to the telegram. When he saw his superiors, he asked himself, and he replied succinctly: "General, my opinion is to return the message truthfully!"

    Admiral Ito was dissatisfied and frowned and said: "Kawashima-kun, since the Navy is so despicable and distorts the facts, why don't we explain the facts and transfer the Navy's Second Fleet Commander Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and the Fourth Fleet Commander  Masao Kanganmura and the two men underestimated the enemy and made command errors, which led to the failure of the mission. They should report it at the same time. It would be best to take the opportunity to drive these two guys out of the Japanese Emperor's [***] team. Thinking of this  These two shameless guys make me angry! I am ashamed to be with such people!¡±

    Chief of Staff Kawashima smiled and said: "General, now is not the time for disputes of temper. We only need to report the situation truthfully. His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will definitely come to a correct conclusion. If we take the opportunity to retaliate, we will end up being stingy.  After all, you are the commander-in-chief of the theater. In name, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Navy are still under your command. If they make such a low-level mistake, you may not be able to get away from it!  Jointly and severally liable!"

    General Ito said unwillingly: "Should we let Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Okamura Masao, these two shameless and despicable guys, remain in the army of the empire and continue to deceive and harm the interests of the empire?"

    Major General Kawashima smiled indifferently and said patiently: "General, after we report the battle truthfully, since we are not wrong, the only ones who are wrong are Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Lieutenant General Okamura Masao.  Someone is responsible for this defeat, of course, not us, but the Navy.?They should give His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp a reasonable explanation!  "

    General Ito sighed and said: "Kawashima-kun, I can always be persuaded by you, so just do what you want!"
