    The imperial meeting held by Japanese Emperor Hirohito overnight to study how to save the situation in Manchuria started with a memorial from the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Umezu Yoshijiro and a telegram from the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Matsuda Kenjiro. During this period, except for the unknown base camp,  Lieutenant General Sada, acting director of the Frontline Combat Supervision Bureau, jumped out and fired artillery. It had been almost an hour, and the venue was dull. All the civil and military officials, like clay and wood sculptures, made five-hearted gestures in the sky, without saying a word!

    Emperor Hirohito looked at these cunning, usually upright and upright ministers, who spoke of loyalty and patriotism, and were arrogant and arrogant. However, at the critical moment, all of them were mute. His hands and feet were cold with anger, and their faces became even colder.  A bad breath kept fermenting in my heart.

    "My dear friends, don't you have anything to say? Then I will determine a theme for today's meeting. Regarding the memorial of Kwantung Army Commander Umezu Yoshijiro, there is no need to discuss it at the meeting. I can only advocate that today  What the meeting needs to study and come up with is how to save the war situation in Manchuria! My words are just a start. I hope you, dear ones, can speak freely!" Emperor Hirohito said calmly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

    The boss of the Empire of Japan, His Majesty the Emperor, has said all this. It can be considered that he has good intentions and sincere words, but it is still useless. There is still silence below. It is not that he does not want to show off in front of His Majesty the Emperor and other faction officials.  For a moment, it¡¯s just that this matter is too difficult. Manchuria is a mess. From the telegram of the Kwantung Army to Chief of General Staff Matsuda Kenjiro, everyone knows this. If there is no way to clean it up, how can we clean it up?

    We are not the omnipotent Amaterasu. Moreover, we really have not thought of a good strategy that can relieve His Majesty the Emperor. If we speak rashly, the result will definitely not be any better than that Sada with a head full of shit!

    Those present are all experienced veterans.  The old demon who has survived the ups and downs of officialdom and the whirlpool of deceitful politics has extraordinary determination. Although he was moved to death after hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, he did not want to be the first to do so!

    ¡°The one who is qualified to speak is the current number one person in the Imperial Japanese military, General Mitsuhide Mineuchi, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army.  The current Vice-Minister of Military Affairs at the base camp, General Nanjiro, of these two people, one is His Majesty the Emperor's most trusted minister, and the other is a general who is familiar with the situation in Manchuria.

    However, General Koichi Mineuchi never spoke, but he was not worried that His Majesty the Emperor would make things difficult for him.  Because we have already communicated with His Majesty the Emperor before, we should not set the tone for the meeting, so that the ministers participating in the meeting can freely contribute their suggestions and brainstorm!

    Therefore, General Mitsuichi Minai did not speak.  After hearing what Emperor Hirohito said, Mitsuru Mineuchi originally wanted to rescue His Majesty the Emperor and break the dullness of the venue, but after careful consideration, he really had nothing to say. The situation in Manchuria was obvious, and there was no way to save it, let alone any good solution.  .  Unravel the deadlock in Manchuria!

    ¡°If the suggestions put forward are of no use, I, the top military leader, will lose not only face, but also His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s trust. Rather than pushing forward, it is better to wait and see what happens.  It¡¯s better than losing all your dignity and face!

    As for General Nanjiro, he didn¡¯t want to talk about it at all. In fact, he could untie the knot of the Manchurian War.  It's not that there is no way at all, but this method will never be accepted by His Majesty the Emperor and other high officials. If you calm down and carefully analyze the memorial of this unfortunate man, Umezu Yoshijiro, it is not without any reason.  At least, giving up Manchuria to preserve the strength of the Kwantung Army is the best way to solve the crisis in Manchuria!

    But who is Nanjiro? When he was the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he was known for his superb political skills. He knew very well that if he threw this opinion out on the spot, he would become a stand-in target for Umezu Yoshijiro.  , Those civil servants and military generals who are eager to show off in front of His Majesty the Emperor, if they can't catch that guy Umezu, can't they catch themselves at the venue? Can they repay themselves and eat it on the spot!

    What's more, once this suggestion is thrown out, I am afraid of avoiding the big fire pit of Manchuria. Isn't it just asking for trouble? Why bother? There are thousands of words to say, but it is better not to say it, even if it is to say it.  , also got the best heat, or it reached the point where it was unavoidable, so General Nanjiro made up his mind not to say anything, and just wait and see for changes!

    After some low-profile and sincere words of advice, there was no response. Emperor Hirohito could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up from the dragon throne and said "Hoo!" with anger flashing in his eyes and a sharp but sinister voice.  He said: "Okay! Dear friends, you don't want to talk, right? You all know that Mingzhe protects himself, right? I am very saddened by your performance, and I am very disappointed!"

    "You are all ministers I rely on and the pillars of the country, but when the empire is in crisis, you remain silent, even if I have raised a child"Dogs can also bark a few times. Although Sada's speech was completely off-topic, useless, and almost gibberish. It was also mixed with personal interests, but he still spoke after all, and he had the dignity of a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire.  Courage and loyalty to me, and what about you?  "

    Emperor Hirohito's words became more and more harsh, and his tone became more and more gloomy. His angry voice echoed in the huge palace. Unfortunately for Lieutenant General Sada, after returning to his seat, his head was still blank and confused, surrounded by  The mocking eyes and gloating expressions were already making me feel uncomfortable and aggrieved, but now it was better that His Majesty the Emperor was using him as a negative example!

    Just after hearing what Emperor Hirohito said, Lieutenant General Sada's head swelled with a loud "buzz", his vision went dark, and he leaned on his chair and passed out. Unfortunately, he did not hear the praise from the Emperor behind him.  Otherwise, Sada Naka will think that everything he did today was worth it!

    The officials around Sada were so oppressed by His Majesty's wrath, majesty, harsh words, and gloomy eyes that they dared not look directly at him. There are still some extra spirits there, please pay attention.  A dignified Imperial Army Lieutenant General fell unconscious next to him because of a few words from His Majesty the Emperor!

    "Nagano Shuzan, tell me, what kind of countermeasures should be taken to deal with the current war situation in Manchuria?" Emperor Hirohito's angry voice suddenly changed. He did not want to go around in circles with these ministers and directly named them.

    The person named by Emperor Hirohito was another giant in the Japanese military, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, who is currently the Minister of the Navy. This is definitely a heavyweight, one of the three giants in the Japanese military, and can compete with the Minister of War Minai Hikaru.  This character is the head of the naval system, and his attitude is that of the entire navy.

    When His Majesty the Emperor suddenly called his name, General Nagano Shuzan stood up with great reluctance. His mouth and heart were filled with bitterness, secretly complaining that he was unlucky. To be honest, he had no intention of meddling in the internal affairs of the Army.  What's more, the situation in Manchuria is almost unsolvable, and I don't have any good ideas!

    But His Majesty the Emperor called his name, and Nagano Shuzan could not avoid it. He bowed slightly to Emperor Hirohito and said carefully: "Your Majesty, colleagues, the reason why the Manchuria war situation has reached the point where it is unstoppable today is entirely due to the army generals.  The result of poor command can also be said to be the result of the people in charge of decision-making at the highest decision-making body of the army not monitoring the situation in Manchuria well!"

    "If it had been discovered early that the Kwantung Army troops of our Empire in Manchuria were in danger of falling into the current dangerous situation, could we have taken precautions early? If we adjusted our deployment in time, there would not be today's nearly 200,000-strong Imperial Army on the Manchurian border, in western Liaoning.  More than one million Kwantung Army soldiers in Western Manchuria were surrounded!"

    "As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro had the gall to conceal military information from the War Department. The War Department remained indifferent to the war situation in Manchuria for several months. The Kwantung Army Chief of Staff, Matsuda Kenjiro, had to  After jumping to the next level, we discovered that the war situation in Manchuria was in danger. So, I want to ask here, what was the Army Department doing before? What if this is not a dereliction of duty? "

    The words of General Nagano Osamu are definitely adding insult to injury. The insinuations in them are aimed at the head of the army system, General Miuchi Yoneuchi. It alludes to his dereliction of duty and immediately arouses the collective anger and anger of the generals in the army system.  They were all hostile, with fire-breathing eyes, glaring fiercely at the talkative General Nagano Shuzan, wanting to bite this bastard to death!

    If looks could kill, Admiral Nagano Shuzan would have died a thousand and eight hundred times. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't suppressed the meeting, many young and senior army officers would have rushed forward to attack this naval officer.  The minister, with his old fists, slapped him on the head like a pig and said he couldn't take care of himself. He suppressed his anger and cursed in his heart: "How long has it been? You bastard didn't forget to add insult to injury and suppress the army, villain! Absolutely!"  This is what a villain did!¡±

    The head of the army system, General Miuchi Yoneuchi, also had a cold look on his face, his eyes were full of evil, and he was ready to stand up to face Nagano Osamu's provocation and add insult to injury. If General Yoneuchi Mitsui went into battle shirtless and faced off against his old enemy Nagano Osamu, then this overnight battle would be  The imperial meeting is another head-on collision between the imperial army system and the navy system, with the two systems of the land and navy mixed in. The old grievances and hatreds over the years, the old sesame seeds and the rotten millet are thrown away, and it will be an inextricable fight.  How could the meeting to resolve the crisis in the Manchurian war proceed with the tense melee?

    Emperor Hirohito was well aware of the nastiness, intrigues, and competition for favor that existed among the army and navy systems over the years. In a sense, it was also the result of his deliberate promotion. However, it must not appear in today's meeting.  Such a scene!
