    "Nanjiro!" Mineuchi was stunned. In his mind, a figure appeared in his mind. He had gray hair, a short and thick figure, and always had an unpredictable smile on his face. He was neither aggressive nor submissive. He seemed  He is very honest and honest, but if anyone is fooled by this honest appearance, he is not far from suffering a big loss.

    Mineuchi didn't have any favorable impressions of Nanjiro. Of course, he didn't have any ill intentions. The two belonged to different factions, but they had never had a direct conflict. Even in his faction, Nanjiro was  He is known as a moderate, so he is quite popular in both the military and political circles of the empire and has a good reputation!

    But Nanjiro's qualifications are something that no one dares to ignore. He is one of the few remaining veterans of the imperial military. In terms of qualifications, he is almost as good as himself, but his power is far behind. Since he became the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army,  After becoming the Commander and the Empire's Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Manchuria, the Kwantung Army, although it still bore traces of its own faction in name, was out of control and did not go too far!

    In this regard, Koichi Mineuchi also admired Nanjiro's political methods. In terms of military, this person was unanimously evaluated by the imperial military circles as "mediocre in talent and unsuitable to serve as the supreme commander of an independent combat direction in the empire!" But it was this military commanding talent.  The mediocre Nanjiro, during the few years he ruled Manchuria, defeated the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance, which had given all the commanders-in-chief of the Kwantung Army a headache and was helpless, until it was dying and almost disappeared!

    After that, he escaped from the already crisis-ridden Manchuria with dignity, returned to the country with great honor, and assumed the important position of the military affairs minister of the base camp, and Nan Jiro used the methods to solve the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance in Manchuria.  "Third points military, seven points political!" General Minai also admired it, if it weren't for the imperial army's tragic defeat in North China.  After being driven out of North China by Tang Qiuli's troops, General Yoneuchi Koichi is ready to fully promote the methods and experience Nanjiro used in Manchuria in the name of the base camp in the occupied areas!

    "I only have a casual acquaintance with Nanjiro. It's not nice to say hello in advance. Maybe he will see the flaw. This guy has been in Manchuria for many years. He knows the situation in Manchuria quite well. However, in terms of Nanjiro's political IQ,  It won't cause any trouble!" General Yoneuchi Koichi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and came to the conclusion that Nanjiro should attend the imperial meeting.  It¡¯s not harmful to me. Besides, he¡¯s the one named by His Majesty the Emperor. If he¡¯s excluded, he¡¯s just looking for trouble!

    "It's your Majesty. Your Majesty will do as you are told immediately. Nanci-kun has been in Manchuria for many years and has a lot of experience and understanding. When the two chief officers of the Kwantung Army are unable to be present, Nanci-kun is indeed the best person to understand the situation in Manchuria. Your Majesty is wise.  !" General Mitsuo Mine.  He said respectfully, finally.  Not forgetting to flatter him!

    Urgent calls were made one after another from the palace, awakening the Japanese military and political officials who lived in various places in Tokyo. All the generals above the deputy minister in the base camp got up from the hot quilts and women's bodies, muttering,  He stood up reluctantly.

    At the residence of General Minamijiro, the deputy military affairs officer at the base camp, after receiving a call from the Imperial Palace Privy Council, he immediately rushed to the palace of His Majesty the Emperor. After attending the notice of the imperial meeting, he had already vented his energy on the plump and voluptuous maid and was about to hug the fragrant and creamy maid.  General Nanjiro couldn't help frowning after having a good sleep with his tired maid's body. The maid was busy waiting for him to put on his military uniform.

    Seeing the displeasure on His Excellency the General's face, the young maid was so frightened that she dared not speak out. However, the maid knew that at this moment, General Nanjiro's mind had changed countless times. Among all the ministers in Japan, except  Apart from General Yoneuchi Koichi, only General Nanjiro in the palace could definitely guess the reason why His Majesty the Emperor started the imperial meeting in such a hurry at such a late hour.

    "Manchuria! It must be related to the situation in Manchuria! Moreover, the situation in Manchuria should have deteriorated to the point of being beyond control! His Majesty the Emperor wants to find a countermeasure!" General Nanjiro's brows were almost twisted into a knot. Although he resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army  Although he has an official position, he has been operating in Manchuria for many years, and he still has a few confidants in important positions. Telegrams often come in from the outside. The news about everything that happened in Manchuria is not blocked, so he came to this judgment.

    From the bottom of my heart, General Nanjiro, who resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and returned to his homeland to take up an important position, did not want to participate in any meetings related to Manchuria. It was not a taboo, but he did not want to touch anything about Manchuria. That meant that  My past is a past that I have worked hard on, even a past that I cannot bear to look back on!

    In Northeast China, General Nanjiro, who had controlled the Kwantung Army and Manchukuo for many years, knew very well what the situation in Manchuria was like when he left Manchuria. It was like a river melting in spring, covered with a thin layer of ice.  It was a turbulent torrent, and stormy waves would surge out at any time. He was lucky that when he left Manchuria, this thin layer of ice had not collapsed. He was even more lucky that in the last year of his stay in Manchuria, he was not talked about by the imperial general.  ?The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was tortured to death, so he escaped unscathed!

    As for his successor, Umezu Yoshijiro, he can only be regarded as an unlucky guy. He took over a bank that was about to collapse. Moreover, during the handover at the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Fengtian, Manchuria, the contempt Umezu had for him was clearly visible on his face.  , To be fair, Nanjiro was not optimistic about Umezu Mijiro. Neither his character nor his background were enough to reverse the deterioration of the situation in Manchuria. As for military talent, it seemed unimportant in Manchuria at that time!

    "The situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to the point where it is uncontrollable. Then, the main purpose of this imperial meeting is twofold. One is to find countermeasures, and the other is to hold those responsible accountable. Umezu Yoshijiro cannot bear the blame, and I am afraid it will be difficult to protect himself.  ! My stance and attitude should be like this" While wearing the military uniform, General Nanjiro carefully weighed the various interests and made a decision.  With his eyebrows relaxed, he took only one adjutant and rushed to the palace in a car.

    More than an hour later, more than a hundred of Japan's heavyweights in the military and political circles, still sleepy and confused, gathered in the palace of Emperor Hirohito. Civil servants and generals with shining stars, wearing suits and leather shoes, came to the palace one after another.  Sit down in your seat.

    General Nanjiro arrived not too late, but not too early. When he walked to his seat, he happened to bump into General Minai Koichi. Their eyes quickly exchanged, and then they immediately avoided each other. Both of them were  A man who has risen through the ranks of officialdom, a shrewd politician, and has read countless people. However, through the momentary intersection of their eyes, they all saw something in each other's hearts, but they were unwilling to delve deeper into it!

    General Minai Koichi said with a smile: "Nanji-kun, you are the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. You have been operating in Manchuria for many years, so you can be called a 'Manchuria expert!' Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the general to participate.  In this imperial meeting, Your Majesty, Nanci-kun, has high hopes for you. However, His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the situation in Manchuria. I am afraid that Nanci-kun will have to bear more in the face of His Majesty¡¯s questioning!¡±

    Nanjiro bowed slightly and replied calmly: "Your Majesty fell in love with you by mistake. Nanjiro has been away from Manchuria for some time. The recent changes in the situation in Manchuria are like a fog. I'm afraid I don't have any useful suggestions."  , which disappoints Mr. Minai. Naturally, he answered all of His Majesty's questions, but only about everything that happened during my stay in Manchuria. By the way, there has been no report on the latest situation in Manchuria from the base camp! "

    The muscles on Minai Guang's cheeks twitched involuntarily. He gritted his teeth secretly and cursed: "What a slippery old loach. He seems to be sincere but has no boundaries!" That last sentence is even more powerful. You  Koichi Mineuchi is so powerful that he single-handedly controls the two major systems of the empire's military administration and military orders. Even you don't know how bad Umezu Yoshijiro has done to Manchuria. Don't expect me to play a supporting role for you, let alone rush to the front.  To attract the firepower of His Majesty the Emperor, in a word, don¡¯t treat me like a noob!

    Invulnerable to water and invulnerable, there was nothing that Koichi Mineuchi could do against Nanjiro. When it came to politicians' methods, this old guy was no worse than him. He couldn't say more to avoid exposing his flaws. Therefore, General Koichi Mineuchi smiled faintly and said  : "Since Nanci-kun knows what he is thinking, I am worrying in vain! Please do it!"

    After saying that, both of them bowed slightly and nodded, then passed by each other, ending an exchange that was far from pleasant. They saw that all the civil and military officials attending the imperial meeting had arrived, and Hirohito changed into a military uniform.  The Emperor was also perched high on the Dragon Throne. As soon as Minaiguang walked to the front desk, he cleared his throat and said: "Gentlemen, I have called you to your Majesty's palace for a meeting late at night to discuss issues related to the war situation in Manchuria. Now, please.  His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s instruction!¡±

    After saying that, Miuchi Minai bowed deeply towards Emperor Hirohito, ignored the surprised and nervous expressions of all the civil and military ministers in the room, and returned to his seat to sit down.

    Emperor Hirohito's sinister gaze glanced at the civil and military ministers below for a long time. It was not until the ministers' hearts became tense that he slowly said: "Dear ladies, I received a telegram today.  This memorial was sent by the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Matsuda Kenjiro. The telegram was about the current war situation in Manchuria. The telegram was conveyed to me by the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, three days ago through the hands of Aiko Yoneuchi.  !¡±

    The Japanese civil and military officials below couldn¡¯t help but be stunned, what are you doing?  How come the top two figures of the Kwantung Army sent telegrams and submitted memorials respectively? According to convention, the memorial about Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, is enough, and the telegram about Kenjiro Matsuda, the chief of general staff, is redundant. Could it be that,  There was internal strife among the top brass of the Kwantung Army, and the commander-in-chief and chief of staff were at each other's throats?
