Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Hirohito's sudden "wow" made more than a dozen attendants tremble with fright. Who was Kono Yohei? He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan, in charge of the empire's external exchanges, and one of the few in the empire.  One of several important ministers, it has been such a long time, how could His Majesty the Emperor think of him?

    Especially in this place, these attendants can't help but think about it, but looking at His Majesty the Emperor's purple face, his nose and eyes are about to spit fire, and he looks so angry that he wants to bite someone, they should not have such thoughts.  , then why?

    Just when the attendants, like goose-headed geese, had not reacted, Emperor Hirohito roared again, "Baga - why are you dawdling, why don't you go quickly!" After yelling, he turned around and walked back, heading straight to the meeting just now.  As they left the main hall of the meeting, a quick-legged aide ran out to make a phone call as fast as he could. The other aides did not dare to show their anger and followed closely behind Emperor Hirohito.

    Emperor Hirohito's passion came suddenly and inevitably. On the way back to the palace, he suddenly thought that the Germans' attack on the Soviet Union was informed by the General Directorate of Military Intelligence at the base camp, and the German side had no prior information.  Notification is necessary.  It has been more than ten days since the war broke out. Neither the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the German Embassy in Japan has issued a formal diplomatic document to inform Japan of this matter!

    In other words, as Germany's only ally in Asia, Japan did not receive any information from Germany before and after Germany attacked the Soviet Union. It is one thing to understand the situation through its own intelligence channels. The Germans officially reported,  It's another matter, which involves the weight of the Japanese Empire in the minds of the Germans, in other words.  It's a matter of your own face!

    How could Emperor Hirohito, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, tolerate such a thing happening to him? He still didn't believe that the Germans would ignore the reaction of the Japanese Empire and not report relevant intelligence in advance before starting such a major military operation.  Since it was a military alliance, the Germans did not dare to ignore such a big thing as launching a war against the Soviet Union.  Although Emperor Hirohito knew in his heart that the German head of state Hitler was more arrogant and arrogant than himself!

    ? So what¡¯s the problem?  Emperor Hirohito thought about it and decided that Foreign Minister Yohei Kono had neglected his duties.  The German notification was suppressed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  Didn't report it to myself at all.  If Kono Yohei deliberately concealed it, he would not believe it even if he beat Hirohito to death. He did not have the courage, let alone the need, but it was just a case of neglect of duty.  Today, I will make this guy Kono Yohei look good. If I don¡¯t scold him, the world will be dark and the earth will be dark. Thousands of peach blossoms will bloom. I swear that I will not be a human being!

    Emperor Hirohito gritted his teeth secretly.  His face was angry, his steps were fast, and he was aggrieved as he walked, "Damn Kono Yohei, I lost an opportunity to make friends with the Germans!" It was indeed a good opportunity.

    The German attack on the Soviet Union is what the Japanese want to see most. It can contain the Soviet army in the Far East and reduce the pressure on the Kwantung Army. Moreover, it is also an opportunity to show goodwill to Hitler. The Japanese do not need to make any effort, just talk a few empty words.  , waving the flag for the Germans with great fanfare, and doing a good job on the surface. In the future, when dividing the fruits of victory in the war with the Soviet Union, they will naturally not suffer.

    Hitler will remember the moral support of the Japanese Empire. The focus of military deployment is on the Pacific Ocean in the south. The benefits in the north can also be taken advantage of. Such an opportunity that can bring huge benefits to the empire was given up by the fool Kono Yohei.  After the delay, Emperor Hirohito was so angry that he wanted to bite his foreign minister to death.

    Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono, who attended today's imperial military meeting, has just returned to his home. At the meeting, he watched a dragon-tiger fight between Prince Zain and Koichi Yoneuchi. It was wonderful, but it was different from his own.  It has nothing to do with it at all. It is a fight between factions within the army. It is far away from your own son, and cannot be affected. Besides, in the diplomatic field, it is those who can only dance with guns and sticks.  What can the soldiers who commit murder and arson do to interfere?

    If I have some feelings, I feel sad for Minai Koichi. After all, Minai Koichi is also an old man in the imperial world. He has a deep foundation and is also an old bird who has gone through the whirlpool of political struggles. How can he become a mature figure and be replaced by a rising star?  His Royal Highness, Prince Zai Ren, was knocked to the ground, so disgraced that he almost fell down and couldn't get up?  I really don¡¯t understand!

    "Perhaps, Koichi Mineuchi is really old!" In his heart, Kono Yohei still sympathizes with Koichi Mineuchi, but this does not mean that he can stand up and take over the throne of Prince Jinai for Koichi Mineuchi. Isn't it wrong?

    There is another thing that Kono Yohei does not understand, which is the attitude of the Germans. It has been more than ten days since the Soviet-German war broke out. According to the relationship between Germany and Japan's military allies, no matter what the Germans do beforehand, there will be a  Please report the situation. This is the most basic diplomatic common sense.For reasons of confidentiality, there are many factors for leaking secrets in such a large military operation, and diplomatic channels are one of them.

    It is understandable that there was no notification before the war started. Then, after dawn on April 10, the German troops began to fight against the Soviets. There was no news. In fact, this issue has not been reported since April 10.  Since the morning, it has been lingering in Kono Yohei's heart. Therefore, throughout the whole day, he did not dare to leave his office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He waited for the German Ambassador to Japan to come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in person to inform him of the matter.

    But from the morning of April 10th until the 20th of April, German Ambassador to Japan von Taudesmann did not show up. This made Kono Yohei, who was waiting in a row, confused.  He deliberately called the German Embassy to ask about the matter, but he picked up the phone several times and put it down again. Why, he couldn't afford to lose this person!

    How could the dignified Foreign Minister of the Empire of Japan call the German Ambassador and ask, oh, just ask: "Mr. Ambassador, regarding your country's attack on the Soviet Union, your head of state or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have any documents or anything like that."  Do you want to report it to His Majesty the Emperor or myself? If you have it, please send it over!"

    Kono Yohei would never do such a shameful thing. Not only would it ruin the reputation of the Japanese Empire, it would also be inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette. Kono Yohei was so stubborn that the German Embassy in Japan did not make any move about this matter.  Just left it behind.

    During this period, just in time, the Kwantung Army was beaten to a pulp by the Soviets and almost half dead. Everyone in Japan was worried about the Kwantung Army, so no one could think of it.  The Germans did not inform the Empire of Japan before taking action against the Soviet Union. However, at today's imperial military meeting, Prince Zain's words aroused Kono Yohei's thoughts. When the servants served a sumptuous meal, he  In his mind, he was still thinking about it without any explanation.

    Just as he picked up the chopsticks, his secretary opened the door and came in, saying respectfully: "Your Excellency, the Palace Attendant called and His Majesty the Emperor summoned you to enter the palace immediately!"

    Kono Yohei was stunned, his eyes wandered around in confusion for a few times, and he thought to himself: "Something's wrong, the deployment of the Imperial Council has just ended. What a big deal, His Majesty the Emperor summoned me urgently again. What's the reason?"

    Similarly, His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts were still unclear. He could only look for some clues from the surface, and then asked: "Did the attendant tell me why His Majesty the Emperor summoned me in such a hurry? Did he summon other people at the same time?"  Minister?"

    The secretary cautiously replied: "Your Excellency, the aide-de-camp didn't say anything, but after I inquired tactfully, the aide-de-camp revealed that His Majesty the Emperor is in a very bad mood right now and is losing his temper. I don't know the specific reason?"

    The attendant became more and more cautious, looked at his boss's face, and replied: "The attendant said on the phone that no other ministers were summoned, only you!"

    As soon as the secretary said this, Kono Yohei couldn't hold his anger any longer. He dropped his chopsticks and ran away as if his butt was on fire. His Majesty the Emperor lost his temper. That meant there was something important that made His Majesty very dissatisfied.  Summoning him alone meant that there was something wrong with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs system, and he didn't know it was that bastard who caused the trouble. Sitting in the car, Kono Yohei was still racking his brains to think about the matter of summoning him alone by His Majesty the Emperor.

    "If it was that bastard from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who did something that made His Majesty the Emperor Ryuugao furious, I would definitely not be able to spare him. At the very least, stop messing around with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Kono Yohei thought while gritting his teeth secretly.

    Kono Yohei had just arrived at the main hall, and before he had time to salute Emperor Hirohito, he heard a thunderous roar, "Kono Yohei! - you! You! How brave are you? How dare you deceive me about such a big matter?"

    Kono Yohei staggered in shock, and with a "bang!" in his head, he hurriedly raised his head and saw His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that his facial features had shifted and his face was ashen. There was a sinister cold light in his pair of slender eyes, staring at him intently.  Hold yourself.

    Kono Yohei was confused. He was hit by a dragon's roar. He still didn't know what was going on. Was he wronged or not? Besides, he was not very courageous. His Majesty the Emperor was not the only one who would obey him.  , I never dared to go out of my way in the slightest. Take the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the base of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, for example. I knew that this was done in a very despicable manner, but I was still staring at a shit basin. Through diplomatic channels,  Is that correct?

    Even the Americans wrote in the newspapers after the incident, cursing themselves as the most despicable and shameless liar in the history of Japan. I have taken this shit seriously. Since I became the Minister of Foreign Affairs, when have I ever done anything out of the circle?  How dare you say anything about it?

    Kono Yohei looked aggrieved and bowed deeply.He said in a voice full of resentment: "Your Majesty, I am very frightened. I wonder where your Majesty's accusation of being so bold comes from?"
