Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Hirohito was very disappointed. The hall was full of military and political ministers, five or six of them. Just now they were arguing so plausibly that they were blushing and thick-necked. But now, they were all mute. He said in a cold voice: "Isn't there a person who can come out to replace me?"  Am I worried? Everyone can tell that His Majesty the Emperor is on the verge of going berserk.

    General Mitsushita Mineuchi, Minister of the Army and Chief of the General Staff of the base camp, finally broke the silence and said slowly: "His Majesty the Emperor, colleagues, if more than 80,000 Imperial soldiers can be safely withdrawn to the homeland, relying solely on the existing strength of the Empire, is it possible?  If it cannot be completed, the China Division fleet will not be able to pass the test. Therefore, I believe that the Italians must be asked to help! "

    "What? Italians?" Many ministers, including Emperor Hirohito, looked at Koichi Minai strangely, thinking that he was just wishful thinking. The Italians had stumbled and lost their entire fleet in the waters of the Solomon Islands.  I didn¡¯t see any sign of the greedy, arrogant and boastful Italian Prime Minister Mussolini showing any signs of revenge on the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli!

    It can be seen from this that Mussolini is also a bear bag character who exaggerates words and makes small money. He swallowed the slap from the Chinese and now, Koichi Minai is still thinking about asking the Italians to help.  , what do you think, are you confused?

    Facing the suspicious and strange looks from His Majesty the Emperor and his colleagues, Miuchi Miuchi looked calm. Apart from this, there was no other way to safely withdraw more than 80,000 elite imperial soldiers to the mainland.  After Prince Zai Ren took charge of the local defense military affairs, he, the top boss of the army, almost stepped aside.  How could this be possible? When did Koichi Minai fade out of the core of power in the empire?

    Seeing the confident look of Mineuchi, Emperor Hirohito also muttered in his heart, "Could it be that Mineuchi really has a way? It's better to try, it's better than being helpless!"

    "It seems that Aiko Mine must have a clever plan in mind, which is very good. As for asking the Italians to assist the empire in withdrawing troops from North America, please leave it to Aiko Mine to handle it with full authority!" Emperor Hirohito is also a dead horse and a living doctor.  , more than 80,000 soldiers, this is no small matter!

    Mi Neiguang smiled slightly.  Knowing that he had finally won part of the right to speak, but it was not enough, he continued: "Thanks to your majesty's wrong love, I will do my best to facilitate this matter. However, I would like to ask your majesty to authorize you to have full authority to deal with the empire's North American occupation area and the Hawaiian Islands."  Something to do!¡±

    "Huh?" Emperor Hirohito looked at Koichi Minai suspiciously. The empire's North American occupation area had become useless.  It's not a pity to abandon it, not to mention, he promised to see an Italian.  But what does he want over the Hawaiian Islands?

    "My love for Minai, can you explain more clearly? What do you want to do if you want the right to handle the Hawaiian Islands?" Emperor Hirohito had to ask.

    Miuchi Miuchi talked about it: "Previously, in order to replenish supplies and retreat for the Australian Front Army, the Empire and the Italians reached an agreement, but unfortunately, it did not save the fate of the Australian Front Army, and the Italians also lost one  Fleet. Now, if we want to ask the Italians for help, I am afraid that just one American western occupation zone will not be enough!"

    "Therefore, I am planning to fly to the North American battlefield in person to meet with General Faisalde, the commander of the Italian North American Expeditionary Force. The bargaining chip is the Hawaiian Islands. Otherwise, it will not be enough to tempt the Italians!"

    "No! I strongly object!" As soon as Minai Koichi finished his words, Navy Minister Nagano Shuzan stood up and expressed his strong objection. Admiral Nagano wanted to pounce on him and bite this old bastard Minai Koichi.

    The importance of the geographical location of the Hawaiian Islands is self-evident. With it, you can control the entire Eastern Pacific, which is the heart of the Imperial Navy, especially Pearl Harbor. It is the only remaining Eastern Pacific base of the Navy and is the future rise of the Imperial Navy.  Now, Koichi Minai actually wants to give it to the Italians. What is the difference between digging up the roots of the navy and destroying the hope of the Imperial Navy to restore its former glory?

    "Nagano-kun, please be patient!" Koichi Minai's tone was as calm as a baby who has just woken up. "Listen to what I have to say. Using the Hawaiian Islands as a bargaining chip can persuade the Italians to help the empire, but this is only the purpose.  One, the ultimate goal is to persuade the Italian army on the North American battlefield to enter the mainland as an ally. In this way, the Italian army will directly participate in the invasion of the China Division! "

    "Besides, I am not planning to give the Hawaiian Islands to the Italians, but I can invite the Italian Navy to station in Pearl Harbor, share the power to use Pearl Harbor with the Imperial Navy, and promote it to include several important ports in the mainland.  Do the same! With the greed of the Italians, they will definitely agree!¡±

    "What a brilliant idea!" As soon as Miuchi finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito saidI couldn't help but clapped my hands at the table and said in admiration, "Yonei Ai's strategy can be said to be a different approach. It's really brilliant. Okay! I authorized you to appoint Yonei Ai as the special envoy of the Emperor of Japan, and made a special trip to the North American battlefield to contact the Italians to achieve this."  thing!"

    Shuzan Nagano put out the fire at that time. He had to admit that Koichi Minai's trick was definitely a fantastic idea. The best part was that he invited the Italian navy fleet to station in Pearl Harbor. Once the China Division  Fleet, attack Pearl Harbor, first of all the Italians will not agree, otherwise, with the current strength of the navy, it will never be able to protect the Hawaiian Islands!

    After admiring Yoneuchi Koichi's ingenious plan, Emperor Hirohito turned his eyes to Nagano Shuzan and asked kindly: "Nagano Aiko, do you have any objections?"

    Nagano Shuyama replied dully: "Your Majesty, I have no objections!"

    "That's good!" Emperor Hirohito's face could not hide his excitement that the empire had a wonderful plan to revive the dead, and he said anxiously: "My dear Minai, you rush to the North American battlefield immediately, the sooner the better!"

    Emperor Hirohito was indeed impatient. He could drag the Italians into the war against the China Division's invasion of the Japanese mainland. It would be a great thing for himself and the Empire of Japan. For this reason, don't  When it comes to giving up the right to use Pearl Harbor, even if Mussolini asks him for the royal princess, he will agree without hesitation and send the princess to him with a clean bath!

    "Thank you for your trust, His Majesty the Emperor!" Koichi Minai bowed calmly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" He was quite confident. Based on his understanding of Italian Prime Minister Mussolini, this Prime Minister, to put it bluntly, is a  A greedy guy, as long as he's given enough benefits, he won't refuse!

    On the same day, Mineguang and several assistants who were proficient in Italian took a large transport plane to fly to the North American battlefield. On the same plane, several officers from the General Staff were specially responsible for withdrawing troops from the North American battlefield.  .

    Koichi Mineuchi¡¯s confidence was not blind self-confidence. He had a good grasp of Mussolini¡¯s pulse. After meeting with Feisalde, the commander of the Italian North American Expeditionary Force, he told the whole story of the Japanese Empire without wasting any words.

    General Faisald's moral character is similar to that of Mussolini. How can I put it another way? Just like a leader, there are also subordinates. He felt like he was hit by a big pie falling from the sky.  Everyone was dizzy.

    Although he could not tell with his IQ how much risk there was in the benefits offered by the Japanese, and whether there was poison in the cake, he instinctively felt that this was the only way for the Kingdom of Italy to gain a foothold in the Pacific region.  Great opportunity!

    General Feisald, on the one hand, with the highest etiquette, received Minaiguang and his entourage from the allies, and on the other hand, in the form of an urgent top-secret telegram, he truthfully communicated to Prime Minister Mussolini the great benefits of the Japanese coming to his door.  Reported.

    Mussolini¡¯s feeling was similar to that of his subordinates. They were all being sucked up by a good thing that fell from the sky. He couldn¡¯t believe it. He read the secret message over and over again, and then he just kept giggling.

    Originally, Mussolini was very upset about the annihilation of a fleet of the Italian Navy in the Solomon Islands in the Pacific. He wanted to take revenge on the Chinese and planned to send an expeditionary force to kill the Chinese.  land, teach that arrogant Tang Qiuli a lesson. However, due to the advice of the German head of state Hitler and the opposition of the domestic party, government and military officials, the matter was suppressed for the time being.

    But this does not mean that Mussolini has forgotten this loss. The loss of more than 30 warships is not even a slight injury to Italy. In recent years, following the German boss  Behind his back, he gained a lot of benefits, Italy is very powerful!

    There was no enemy that threatened him on the European continent, and the German boss was protecting him. Mussolini took it for granted that Italy was now a military and economic power, not as good as Germany, but much stronger than the Japanese. Since the allies were kind to  Invitation, is there any way not to go?

    Mussolini was not willing to delay for even a minute. As if he was afraid that the Japanese would regret it, he immediately ordered his secretary to issue a notice and immediately convene an emergency meeting at the Prime Minister's residence with the participation of big bosses from various Italian party, government, and military systems.

    At the meeting, Mussolini used his usual eloquent rhetoric to mix the reasons for helping the Japanese into the decision on Asian affairs. He said it with great fanfare, awe-inspiring justice, and courtesy. It seemed that Italy would not send troops to help its ally Japan.  I'm sorry to everyone in the world!

    What is Italy¡¯s unshirkable responsibility to help its allies? What is Italy¡¯s responsibility? For this reason, the current situation in the Asia-Pacific region, to prevent the Asian region from falling into war, in order to maintain the stability of the Asia-Pacific region, Italy is willing to take responsibility, etc., this argument,Probably only Americans of later generations can compare with it.

    Yes, Mussolini¡¯s purpose in convening the meeting was to tell the party, government and military officials that this was his own decision and did not require you to waste time studying and discussing.
