Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Something is wrong, something is very wrong!  More than 100 Japanese military and political leaders were called by Emperor Hirohito late at night and were taken to the palace to attend a military meeting. They originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor had set the tone and came up with the theme, but everyone was talking and blushing.  After a rough, spitting, or red-faced, tit-for-tat argument, after everyone expressed their opinions, His Majesty the Emperor made the final decision. Then, after the meeting, he went home and continued to sleep with his fragrant maid in his arms.

    But as soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, he threw out such shocking words. The Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army and the Chief of General Staff, one sent an urgent telegram, and the other quietly gave a memorial. They also had to go through the current powerful forces.  Under the control of the huge rice cabinet, there are clearly two trumpets, each playing his own tune. There are great conflicts within the Kwantung Army's top brass. Could it be that Umezu Yoshijiro, who has not yet sat on the throne of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, has caused something?  Big trouble?

    Perhaps, the possibility of another change of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army means that there is another opportunity for local high-level politics to reshuffle. The officials who know Umezu Yoshijiro's bad temper are beginning to stir up their hearts.  , and has even thought about the candidates to be promoted, with eyes shining and an expression of eagerness to try!

    Only Koichi Mineuchi, who knew the truth of the matter, and Nanjiro, a cunning and cunning man who had already smelled something ominous, frowned and had thoughtful expressions on their faces, which they could not hide from their colleagues who were already aware of the scheming and intrigues.  Disgusted, the other person who was in an extremely unhappy mood was Emperor Hirohito, sitting high on the dragon throne.  The expressions of the ministers were clearly visible.  I secretly hated myself, "These are the ministers I rely on, just like dogs who have seen meat and bones! They think that an opportunity to benefit their faction has appeared again!"

    However, Emperor Hirohito was slightly comforted by the expressions of two people. One was Koichi Yoneuchi, whom he relied on most. This was not surprising. Koichi Yoneuchi was the only one besides him.  The only person who knew the inside story of the critical situation in Manchuria was Nanjiro, who was currently the deputy military affairs minister at the base camp. His performance was secretly appreciated by Emperor Hirohito. At least, Nanjiro was not like other ministers.  It disgusts me!

    "My dear friends, please stop making random guesses in your mind. Attendant, please give the memorial of Umezu Meijiro and the telegram of Matsuda Kenjiro to all my dear ladies to take turns to read! After reading, everyone should express their own opinions!" Emperor Hirohito pressed down.  Inner rage.  He said in a cold tone.

    It is said that the officials who participated in the imperial meeting took turns to read it. In fact, those who were the first to see the memorial and the telegram were only a handful of twenty or so people.  It is these people who represent Japan's core decision-makers, after reading the telegram and memorial.  Their expressions changed greatly, their hands trembled, their eyes were straight and dumbfounded, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they kept wiping the sweat with handkerchiefs.

    To put it simply, the content of the telegram from the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Matsuda Kenjiro, was just two words: "Terrible!" No one expected that the current war situation in Manchuria was so corrupt that it was beyond control, and it was known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army" of the empire.  The Kwantung Army, the largest and most elite combat group in the empire's overseas colonies, with more than 1.5 million troops, crushed nearly 200,000 people on the northwest border of Manchuria.

    In the Liaoxi and Western Manchuria areas of Manchuria, more than one million people were surrounded. The three central cities in Manchuria, Fengtian, Xinjing, and Harbin, were all under threat from the independent divisions. Some civilian officials may not  Although they were well aware of the dangers of the Manchurian War, the senior Japanese generals knew very well that with the combat effectiveness of that Chinese devil force, it would be difficult for the encircled imperial army to escape the end of being crushed to pieces, and the most elite Kwantung Army was also  no!

    Such examples abound, in North China, in Shandong Peninsula, in Songhu, in Guangdong and Guangxi, in Indochina, in Singapore, in.  .  .  .  .  .  Countless facts have proved that once surrounded by the forces of the China Devil, they would end badly. Countless famous imperial generals, such as Okamura Neiji, Matsui Iwane, and Kozuki Kiyoshi, all fell into disgrace in the China Devil Tang.  At the hands of Qiu Li, he ended up buried in a foreign land.

    The only imperial general who directly fought against Tang Qiuli and saved his life despite losing troops and generals was probably General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, who was leading the troops to severely defeat the Allied forces in the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific. Of course,  This person is an exception and an anomaly!

    Therefore, the senior generals of the Japanese army all understood that if the Kwantung Army troops of more than a million were divided into two places and surrounded by the independent division troops, it would be a dead end. The fall of Manchuria would be a matter of time. What is even more bizarre is that the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army  Official Umezu Yoshijiro, this guy mysteriously disappeared after leading the troops into battle, and his whereabouts are unknown. Some officials couldn't help but think viciously, "Is it Umezu, who saw that the situation in Manchuria was irreversible and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he absconded in private?  "

    There are not a few high-ranking officials who hold this idea. After all, when Umezu Yoshijiro was in his hometown, he was very unpopular.?Putting on an aloof and arrogant face, not being able to rely on mountains or factions, coupled with his aversion to politics, he claims to be the purest soldier in the empire. It seems that no one else is as noble as him. Who wants to stand in front of him?  When political issues are mentioned, the reaction is more violent than cuckolding him. Who can like such a person with such style and character?

    As for Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial, in the eyes of these civil and military officials, it was not just a treasonous act, it was simply a heinous act. Giving up Manchuria, giving up the Korean Peninsula, giving up the Far East, and giving up the efforts and sacrifices of the Yamato nation over several generations.  He gave up countless outstanding descendants, fought with the Russians and the Chinese, and surrendered the overseas territories that he had worked so hard to gain to the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire - the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli!

    If all these are given up, the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", the grand plan to dominate Asia and compete with European and American powers, and the efforts to free overseas territories and expand the living space for the Yamato nation, will all become nothing and nothing.  Is it a waste? What are those millions of imperial soldiers fighting for? Why don't they just retreat to the Japanese archipelago?

    Fortunately, he dared to write such a memorial and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor. Umezu Yoshijiro is nothing more than a national thief. Everyone must be punished. Failure to kill him is not enough to quell the public's anger. Even those civil servants who have never been very radical.  The murderous intention was also rising in his heart, not to mention those senior officers whose profession was to lick blood with the blade of a knife. They wanted to take Umezu Yoshijiro back to Tokyo and chop this bastard with a knife. It can be said that Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial aroused public outrage, so much so that  Forget, the Manchurian problem is even more serious than this!

    Bursts of murderous aura spread in the air. Miuchi secretly wiped away his cold sweat and felt more and more lucky for his clever approach. If Umezu Yoshijiro's messenger handed the memorial to him, he would immediately submit it to the emperor.  Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will bear all the murderous intent now. At that time, the war situation in Manchuria had not been corrupted to the present level. It would be strange if these civil and military officials did not think that I was an accomplice of that bastard Umezu.  ?

    General Nanjiro, after reading these things, felt a turmoil in his heart. He had already had a premonition that the situation in the Manchuria war was by no means optimistic, but he did not expect that it would reach a point where it was beyond control. The senior officials present,  No one knows that China devil Tang Qiuli better than himself.

    At the beginning, General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, was made to leave sadly by Tang Qiuli, who was still the leader of the Blood Hands. After he took over as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he frequently experienced the sufferings of this man.  The men and horses appeared and disappeared, causing the war in Manchuria to be raging, never having peace, and making himself anxious. At that time, Tang Qiuli's strength was still very weak, so he could not sleep at night.

    Fortunately, he spared no expense and mobilized all the strength of the Kwantung Army. At the cost of heavy losses, he weaved a large network covering the entire Manchuria, and brought Tang Qiuli, who was as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a tiger, with his tens of thousands of wolves.  Nitora's subordinates squeezed out of Manchuria and squeezed into the pass, bringing their troubles to the then commander of the Imperial North China Expeditionary Force, Kozuki Kiyoshi, and his successor commander, Okamura Neiji.

    After returning to China, General Nanjiro once imagined what would happen to him if Tang Qiuli, who buried more than one million imperial soldiers and more than ten famous imperial generals, still stayed in Manchuria.  The conclusion is very cruel. I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of Kozuki Seiji and Okamura Neji. If I am lucky, like Ueda Kenkichi and Muto Nobuyoshi, I will step down sadly, return to my country and be on the bench, be relegated to the sidelines, and end up depressed.  !

    Therefore, General Nanjiro summed up the years when he was the emperor of Manchuria. The greatest achievement and the most proud thing were not the annihilation of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance, nor the tight binding of Manchukuo to the war of the Japanese Empire.  What was on the car was not to turn Manchuria into a strategic material base for the Japanese Empire to deploy troops in the Southwest Pacific, but to squeeze Tang Qiuli and his troops out of Manchuria at all costs!

    As for Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial, General Nanjiro's reaction was not that drastic. At least, he believed that although this man was lying, he should not be killed. From a military point of view, he suggested that the Japanese Empire abandon the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria and the Far East.  , is absolutely unacceptable, and is even more intolerable to His Majesty the Emperor and the military. However, from a politician's point of view, in order to preserve the strength of the Imperial Army, it is not a bad idea.

    However, this memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro came too late. If a month ago, the memorial had a high gold content, now, it is not only an afterthought, but also a bomb that arouses public anger. Of course, for Umezu Yoshijiro  , Nanjiro doesn¡¯t have any good impressions either. Whether he is behind bars or still in office, it has nothing to do with him. There is no need for him to risk the public¡¯s anger by doing something for him!

    General Nanjiro decided to stay out of the matter. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the real purpose of today's imperial meeting.Suddenly, my whole body trembled, and cold sweat trickled down my spine.
