Age of Rebirth

Emperor Hirohito looked at the ugly face, and the generals and ministers whispering to each other, originally a stinky face with a lot of worries, but relaxed. This is what he wanted. Throwing out a well-thought-out plan shows the wisdom and wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, and can also deter these rebellious generals.

Ministers and generals with enough brains noticed His Majesty's face, and suddenly understood one thing, why His Majesty ignored the opposition of many people, and even ignored the danger of being accused by the people, about the extortion of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China. Humiliatedly accepting Tang Qiuli's conditions, taking out ten tons of gold from the already tight treasury to satisfy the greedy Chinese man's request, did he think of today?

Although I guessed something, none of the ministers and generals who came to their senses pierced through this layer of paper. When they didn't fully see the steps of His Majesty the Emperor, it was better not to say anything. Besides, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. , if you miss it, the consequences will be disastrous, so let's just sit on the sidelines.

There are smart ones, but there are foolish ones. Lieutenant General Takashima Yuji, the director of naval training, jumped up, and pointed his finger at Lieutenant General Kobayashi, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the base camp, "Mr. Xiaolin, can you guarantee that this information is true? Sex? Can it be completely ruled out that this is the trap of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China? It is related to the fate of the empire, and we have to be cautious!"

To be honest, Takashima was a bit reckless when he jumped out. Many of the bigwigs present here, whether it is military rank, official position, status, prestige, and the weight of their words, are several times more important than him. They didn't speak. tail wolf?To be able to participate in today's imperial meeting, I still borrowed the light of General Shige Guangkui, Minister of the Navy. [

What's more, your assumption is unreasonable. Mr. Xiaolin has already said that this information was obtained from the Americans, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.Is it possible that the Americans and the Chinese are colluding together to cheat the Japanese Empire?

The generals of the army and a group of civil servants gloated at this brainless vice admiral and several bigwigs of the navy.Anxious look on his face, before he could stop it just now, this guy Takashima got up and fired. Originally, it was right to question, but there is a problem with the angle of your question, a few big bosses in the navy.Looking at Takashima with an unfriendly expression, he cursed inwardly, "Idiot and stupid pig!"

Takashima is not a stupid person, but today, seeing the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Kobayashi, is not pleasing to the eye, and the fire in his stomach is rushing upwards. When it comes to the root of the matter, it is still a matter of the Third Fleet of the Navy.Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi is Takashima's cousin, the Third Fleet was wiped out, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi's remains remain.In Takashima's view, it was the Military Intelligence Agency's fault for not providing information in a timely manner.

He has an account in his heart. As an important department of the base camp, the Military Intelligence Bureau is obviously biased towards the Army in terms of intelligence support. When the Third Fleet sailed to the Andaman Sea, it did not receive any intelligence support during the ten-day voyage. , and at the same time.Yansaburo Ito in Yangon got a lot of information.

After the Third Fleet and his cousin had an accident, Takashima used various relationships and connections to investigate behind the scenes, and the results he obtained strengthened his thinking.Isn't that obvious discrimination?Reminiscent of the long-standing dispute between land and sea, Kobayashi's scapegoat can be regarded as solid.

Takashima knew that his self-willed, over-the-top cousin Hasegawa Kiyoshi simply dismissed the information from the Military Intelligence Bureau. He would rather believe the information from the navy than the information from the army system. Takashima, who didn't know about the information from the Intelligence Bureau, held this breath in his heart.

I always want to find an opportunity to let out the evil fire in my heart, but I can't hit the door of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The opportunity is here now. Therefore, as soon as Kobayashi finished reading the information, Takashima couldn't wait to jump out and show up. It is to question the source and authenticity of Kobayashi's information. In fact, the idea is to provoke a dispute, extend it, and lift the cover in front of His Majesty the Emperor. He vented his anger for his dead cousin.

Lieutenant General Kobayashi Hideyama's face was very ugly. He felt very angry that this Takashima, who was not even a nod acquaintance, suddenly jumped out to attack him, and felt aggrieved as if he would be shot while lying down. ?When is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks and, besides, a mouth full of layman's terms, isn't this deliberately finding fault?

Kobayashi thought that he had never offended this Takashima, and was about to retort. Looking at Takashima, who was staring at a bull's-eyed, arrogant like a fighting cock, and was about to quarrel with him, he suddenly felt very boring. I don't know that the guy who is light-headed and messy is bickering, which is demeaning.

Kobayashi knew the truth in his heart. A few hours ago, when he hurriedly submitted the information to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty said to himself earnestly: "You are a hero of the Great Japanese Empire. If you work hard, I will not treat you badly," the words still ring in my ears. , With this confidence, Kobayashi calmed down, Takashima was not attacking himself, but His Majesty the Emperor's judgment, unlucky guy, there is no good fruit for you!

Sure enough, when Emperor Hirohito saw this short-sighted guy, he jumped out without thinking and questioned this information that was crucial to the Great Japanese Empire. You only admit the facts after people do something?" If it was an important minister, Hirohito would have to take into account the influence and save some face.

But Hirohito would never save face for such an insignificant guy who is barely qualified to participate in the imperial meeting, a small vice admiral, not to mention, even without this information, he has no intention of letting the Americans go, it's just that It's just a matter of time delay, "Aide, drive him out, disqualify him from participating in the imperial meeting, deprive him of his military rank, go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors, so as to see the effect!" Yu Ren said coldly.

A few attendants came up, and without a word, they tore off Takashima's military rank several times, ignoring him yelling "wrong," and dragged Takashima out of the meeting hall. Unlucky Takashima, on an inappropriate occasion , in an inappropriate way, did the stupidest thing, isn't this bad luck?

This was just a small episode, and it did not affect the continuation of the meeting at all. Emperor Hirohito asked slowly: "My fellow ministers, what are your opinions? Is our Great Japanese Empire preparing to go to war with the Americans?"

Isn’t this obvious? It’s just questioning the authenticity of the intelligence. Before raising any objections, a vice admiral can become a civilian. Besides, regardless of whether the Americans are ready to fight, the empire will inevitably have a war with the United States. A fertile land, rich in mineral resources, is a large piece of fat, and no one except the Great Japanese Empire has the right to occupy it.

However, the movement and attitude of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, is the only factor that restricts whether the empire will use troops in Southeast Asia. If the Americans really join hands with Tang Qiuli, the Empire of Japan is not sure of winning. Hirohito has seen the ministers and generals He is very happy that these important ministers under him have not lost their ability to think.

Regarding this point, Hirohito also thought about it carefully, and consulted the opinions of many ministers and generals, and came to the conclusion that the possibility of Tang Qiuli joining forces with the Americans is very small. Between Li and MacArthur, there is not even a face-to-face quarrel. It is not the wishful thinking of the Americans, a paper of the Allied Powers Treaty, and they are dragged together.

Moreover, what Americans are most worried about at the moment is not the Great Japanese Empire, but Tang Qiuli, whose power is rapidly expanding. However, Hirohito still wants to give the ministers a reassurance. He asked Ren: "That Chinese devil Tang Qiuli , is there any movement recently?"

Benevolence understood, knowing what my brother needed, stood up and returned respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the report of Major General Kawashima, the chief of staff of the Imperial Southeast Asian Army, after receiving the gold, Tang Qiuli said something like this. Within the existing scope, the empire can do what it wants, and he will never interfere.” [

Hirohito laughed complacently. Now, it seems that he is under pressure to save money and avoid disasters. The ministers and generals looked at His Majesty the Emperor with admiration. In all fairness, they did not expect that the empire paid Ten tons of gold, but the harvest is huge. Without Tang Qiuli's worries, the US military in Southeast Asia is a dish.

Hirohito stood up from the throne, his face flushed like a patient with a fever, and he looked fiercely at the audience. The ministers and generals also got up quickly. They knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already made a decision, and all he needed to do was express his opinion.

Hirohito said: "Ministers and workers, for the future of the Great Japanese Empire, are you ready to fight the Americans at any cost?" The ministers and generals were excited and shouted: "But according to your Majesty's decree, Fight to the death with the Americans," especially the generals of the navy and army, and even fought fiercely over who should attack the Americans first.

Hiroren stood on the high imperial steps, his heart was full of excitement, and an aura of engulfing mountains and rivers spontaneously arose in his heart. He changed his soft tone and said loudly: "The general staff of the base camp is responsible for formulating the Southeast Asian combat plan. My request Yes, four months later, that is, before the end of June this year, the rising sun flag of our Great Japanese Empire will be planted in the sphere of influence of the Americans, well, the relevant departments can start the preliminary preparations now!"

On such an ordinary night, with fine snowflakes floating on the streets of Tokyo, a premeditated plan was born, which was destined to change the strategic pattern of Southeast Asia. MacArthur, who was accustomed to playing tricks, would never have imagined that he had been targeted by the Japanese. All of this is exactly what Tang Qiuli, who is still in Kuala Lumpur, lingering in the beautiful underwater world with Liu Xinlan, wishes for.
