Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Hirohito still attached great importance to Nagano Shuzo's words, and it was in line with his own thoughts. After all, it was too hasty to determine the candidate for the commander of the Combined Fleet in a hurry, and the Combined Fleet was the treasure in Emperor Hirohito's heart. How could he allow it to be lost?  Frowning, he said slowly: "You mean, the death of Yamamoto Aikyo will be kept secret for the time being?"

    "This is exactly what I mean!" Nagano Shuzo bowed and replied.  ¡À

    "Oh, forget it!" Emperor Hirohito sighed and said: "Perhaps this is the safest way at present, so as not to shock the morale of the combined fleet and affect the war in Australia. Yamamoto Aiky¨­ will leave immediately and ask me to find another one somewhere.  He is proficient in both naval and land warfare, and he is a good general of the empire who can shoulder all my worries!" His tone was filled with sadness.

    Nagano Shuzo also felt sad and staggered out of the palace. He was heartbroken. There was no way that the post of commander of the Imperial Australian Front would fall into the hands of the navy. He could not find another one.  A general whom Yamamoto Isoroku can convince both the army and navy to be convinced, even the candidate for commander of the combined fleet, needs to be carefully considered.

    About an hour later, General Koichi Mineuchi, Minister of Army and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, General Yatsuo Takayasu, Director of Military Personnel of the base camp, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Home Defense Command, Prince Kanin Miyazaishi, and more than a dozen people from the base camp army system  The senior generals were summoned and rushed to Emperor Hirohito's palace. The notice on the phone from the palace attach¨¦ said, "By order of His Majesty the Emperor, all generals are invited to attend an important imperial military meeting at the palace!"

    The dozen or so senior generals who received the notice didn¡¯t take it too seriously.  With the Australian battlefield approaching, it is normal for His Majesty the Emperor to convene a military meeting.  But when these big guys got off the bus in front of the palace, they could see something different.

    the reason is simple.  The generals who participated in the imperial military meeting were all from the army. Oh, except for Prince Zai Ren, who was mostly sitting on the side of the navy and drifting away from the army, the senior army officers in Qing Yishui  General, this is intriguing, this kind of meeting.  How could it be possible that those guys from the Navy were missing?

    The generals exchanged puzzled looks and followed each other, led by the palace attendants, towards the conference room. Emperor Hirohito was already waiting there. When the army generals who came in saw His Majesty's face, they felt "  "Ding!" How to say it.  It was as if he was about to die, his face was deathly gray, his eyes were a little distracted, and he looked listless.

    I saw the generals filing in.  Emperor Hirohito waved his hand gently, beckoning everyone to take their seats, before the imperial military meeting began.  He always has the habit of talking nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "Dear ladies, I have called you all here today for one thing. Regarding the selection of the commander of the Imperial Australian Front Army, do you have a suitable candidate in your mind?  "

    When Hirohito said this, everyone was shocked. The amount of information was too great. Everyone knew that previously, the supreme commander of the Imperial Australia battlefield was none other than Commander Yamamoto Isoroku of the Combined Fleet of the Navy. How could he be so stubborn?  Yes, His Majesty the Emperor has changed his mind?

    ¡°Could it be that Yamamoto Isoroku lost his heart as an emperor and was abandoned, or was there some major change in the navy that forced His Majesty the Emperor to re-select the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Australian Battlefield?

    General Koichi Mineuchi, Minister of War and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, is a cunning old man. He almost intuitively realized that something had happened to that guy Isoroku Yamamoto. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have changed the commander on the spot. As for the Navy,  He could not yet guess what specific heinous and treasonous things he had done to offend His Majesty the Emperor.

    However, Minai Koichi's current mood is absolutely ecstatic. It's a great thing that it's pie in the sky. Yamamoto Isoroku has been abolished, and the candidate for the commander of the empire's largest overseas heavy force group has fallen to the army.  In the pocket of the department, damn it, if you are lucky, Amaterasu will take care of you. Originally, I no longer had any extravagant hopes for the position of supreme commander of the Australian battlefield, but now, there is a big reversal!

    "But Koichi Mineuchi is not a fool. He has no intention of speaking immediately. The most important thing now is to find out why His Majesty the Emperor does not use Yamamoto Isoroku?"  Therefore, he remained silent.

    The same person who deciphered a lot of information from Emperor Hirohito's words was Prince Zaihi. He was even more of a master. Although he was also shocked, his head was spinning at a high speed. He also made an intuitive judgment. Yamamoto Isoroku  Something happened. As for what happened, it is unknown at the moment. In short, it is not a good thing. Otherwise, the emperor would not change the commander on the spot when the Australian war is about to break out!

    Before you figure out what happened to Shuishenqian and Yamamoto Isoroku, you must not be the first person. Therefore, Prince Zairen also choseChoosing silence, his eyes seemed to glance at Minai Koichi inadvertently. It happened that Minai Koichi's eyes were also looking over. The two equally cunning guys moved away naturally after their eyes touched.  No one could detect each other's inner thoughts.

    Emperor Hirohito, who was a master of power and deceit, saw the expressions of more than a dozen senior army generals and immediately knew what they were thinking. He coughed and said in a dry tone: "My dear friends, don't think too much, it's originally planned.  The Commander of the Imperial Australian Front, Yamamoto Aiki, needs to undergo a period of recuperation at home due to physical discomfort, and is temporarily unable to shoulder such an important task!¡±

    "But the decisive battle with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops is imminent. The battle on the Australian battlefield is about to break out. The empire's more than two million elite troops cannot be without a commander. Therefore, I asked your army system to recommend a general who is worthy of the important task.  , assuming the position of commander of the Imperial Australian Front!¡±

    When Emperor Hirohito said this, the generals felt relieved and couldn't help but secretly be happy. You said, Yamamoto is unlucky enough to fall ill at this time. Doesn't this mean that he has handed over the command of the Australian Imperial Army? He shouted  In the hands of the Army?

    Good thing!  What a great thing!  The other generals believed in His Majesty the Emperor's words without any doubt, but Koichi Minai and Prince Zaihito could not believe them all. At least, they believed that Yamamoto Isoroku explained by His Majesty the Emperor was temporarily unable to perform his duties.  The reason is too simple, too sudden and too far-fetched!

    For this reason, Koichi Minai and Prince Zain could not speak out. The two giants did not speak, and the other generals did not return their first shots. The position of commander of the Imperial Australian Front was not available to those outside the army.  It is a certainty that the general will be the one to choose, but within the army system, there are also several small factions with intricate relationships and many interests involved.

    When it comes to dealing with the navy, they can be united, but when it comes to the interests of small factions, they often end up fighting to the death. The head of the army, Miuchi Miuchi, doesn't say anything. Who dares to express his opinion?  , not in line with the wishes of the Mi Cabinet, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!

    Emperor Hirohito was so angry when he saw the generals of the army pretending to be dumb. When you were fighting with the navy, you all acted like chickens. Now, there are no people from the navy to fight. On the contrary,  Pretending to be deaf and dumb, could it be that the majestic Imperial Japanese Army system cannot select a leading general?

    "Yaobi Aiyou, do you have any suitable candidates in the Military Personnel Directorate? This should be within the scope of your responsibilities, right?" Since you are pretending to be dumb, I will directly order the general. Emperor Hirohito directly asks the military personnel of the base camp.  General Yao Takaname, the director, has arrived.

    General Yao Yao cannot escape. Indeed, this is the responsibility of the Military Affairs Directorate. But the key to the problem is that they did not discuss it with General Minai in advance. There are many candidates for army generals who are suitable to serve as the commander of the Imperial Australian Front, but who is he?  Identity, without the approval of the Mi cabinet, proposing candidates will be a troublesome thing in the future!

    "Your Majesty, this Then, um" The sweat on the forehead of the eight-tailed general was dripping. He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a charter.

    "Huh?" Emperor Hirohito was unhappy, and let out a gloomy voice.

    The eight-tailed general was so frightened that his lips trembled. He glanced at General Mineuchi and winked anxiously when he saw where he was. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be talking about North America. Yes, why was he so confused?  , forgot the most suitable candidate.

    "Your Majesty, the opinion of the Military Personnel Directorate is that the most suitable candidate to serve as the commander of the Imperial Australian Front is General Ito Genzaburo, the current commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command!" General Yatsuo Takaname's words suddenly came to pass.

    Seeing General Minai Hikaru with a look of relief on his face, Yao Gaoyao was relieved and finally did not cause any trouble.

    Emperor Hirohito just remained silent. He was still very hesitant in his heart. Ordinarily, Ito Yanzaburo was a suitable candidate, but he suffered a huge defeat when he faced the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops on the Southern China continent.  Almost all the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Imperial Southern China Expeditionary Force were lost.

    It is said that "a defeated general cannot be said to be brave," but I still don't feel confident about using Ito Genzaburo!  Emperor Hirohito was not very happy, and murmured to himself, "This high-ranking Eight-Tails man is really a fool, let alone the other generals of the army, such as Binzan Gen, Kimura Hyoutarou, or even that Terauchi Juichi."  , why do you have to recommend Ito Yanzaburo?¡±

    Seeing that Hirohito was just silent and looking unhappy, Miuchi knew immediately that His Majesty the Emperor was hesitating. At the critical moment, he had to step forward. HeHe took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I also believe that General Ito Genzaburo is the most suitable candidate!"
