Age of Rebirth

Facing the expectant eyes of the elder brother of the emperor, Prince Zairen smiled wryly in his heart, "For the Hong Kong issue, what tricks can I have in my pocket? That despicable China devil Tang Qiuli has brought the Great Japanese Empire to the point where there is no room for maneuver. In my heart, it is not worth the price the empire has paid for more than 1 dead ghosts, but the key now is not how much gold to spend, but how much it will affect the hearts and morale of the people of the Great Japanese Empire question."

Prince Zairen sighed inwardly, "That China devil Tang Qiuli is no doubt a master of intrigues and tricks, and with just an understatement, the Empire of Japan had to brace himself to be shot, and he couldn't dodge it! "

Regarding the fierce remarks made by the Minister of War, Minnei Koichi, Prince Zairen looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Relatives, don’t necessarily think so.”

On the Hong Kong issue that has been changed by law, Prince Zairen is not going to say any more worthless high-level remarks, and should appropriately shift the topic of the meeting. Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, my brother thinks that we can only follow the Hong Kong issue." Tang Qiuli negotiated the terms proposed, and what I worry about the most is the Singapore issue!"

Sure enough, as soon as Prince Zairen's words were uttered, several people's attention was immediately attracted to a new topic. Emperor Hirohito asked in puzzlement: "Zairen, why do you worry about the Singapore issue?"

The Minister of War, General Minai Koichi, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ryosuke Nishita.None of them spoke, this was a conversation between His Majesty the Emperor and his brothers.I can't put my mouth in it. Besides, the two of them haven't figured out yet, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd by this emperor's younger brother who is known for his scheming?

Prince Zairen said unhurriedly: "Brother, Singapore is hanging alone in a corner of the Indochina Peninsula, and the main force of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Army. After Singapore mobilized most of its troops and joined the Luzon Island battlefield, the imperial army's garrison in Singapore was very empty. At present, it is only a little more than a brigade."

"What I'm worried about is whether Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, has set his sights on Singapore from Hong Kong. According to his personality, he can't tolerate Singapore and become the bridgehead of the empire's counterattack against the Indochina Peninsula in the future. Therefore, we have to do it in advance. Get ready, plan ahead, and make a contingency plan for Singapore, there are only two options. One is to stick to it, and the other is to give up. Other than that. Don’t do anything else!”

After Zairen finished speaking, several people, including Emperor Hirohito, were silent, discussing whether they agreed with Zairen's statement, but it is undeniable that what he said made sense. Singapore's current status is indeed embarrassing It is tasteless, sticking to it, and it will inevitably disperse part of the troops dispatched in the Southwest Pacific. At present, the next strategic direction of the empire is in Australia and Luzon Island. Only when the entire Australian continent is occupied, the Great Japanese Empire can truly control all of them. Pacific region.

Because a Singapore, repeatedly contending with Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, does not seem to be in line with the current overall strategy of the empire, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, even if it sticks to it, no one can estimate how much the empire will pay for it. Tang Qiuli's main force The combat corps are all assembled on the front line of the Indochina Peninsula. If there is a fight, the empire will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. If it is not done well, it will be the next Hong Kong.

But if you just give up like this, the Japanese core decision-makers here are obviously reluctant. The appetite of the Great Japanese Empire is not just a Pacific region. In my mind, I have designated the future territory of the Great Japanese Empire, and Singapore's special strategy and geographical location will be the best bridgehead for counterattacking the Indochina Peninsula and mainland China in the future.

This was an extremely painful dilemma. The gazes of several people were all on Emperor Hirohito, who was frowning and thinking hard. In the end, it was the boss who made up his mind. The opinions of other people are just for reference!

Emperor Hirohito raised his head, with a pained expression on his face, and a look of unwillingness and hatred in his eyes. Also, since the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was born in mainland China, Emperor Hirohito felt more distressed It hurts, isn't it less?

Emperor Hirohito said: "Zairen's proposal is very timely and important. With regard to Singapore, we are based on giving up. The General Staff issued an order to the guarding forces of Singapore. Once Tang Qiuli's troops show signs of attacking Singapore, they will withdraw immediately. This place should not be called a blockade, of course, before our Imperial Japanese Army withdrew from Singapore, we would not leave a complete city for the Chinese devil, this matter, Zai Ren, you must personally supervise!"

Zairen nodded, and Emperor Hirohito continued: "As for the remains of the soldiers who died in Hong Kong, shall we accept the conditions proposed by that despicable Tang Qiuli?" , Hirohito didn't want to carry it alone.

After a moment of silence, several people nodded in unison, and Emperor Hirohito continued, "Well, then, Aiqing Xiduo, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send important officials to set off for Hong Kong today to meet with that damned China devil Tang Qiuli. Negotiate related matters, besides, I have already ordered the national treasury to prepare the gold, but we can arrive in Hong Kong randomly together, hey, our Great Japanese Empire has once again been blackmailed by that despicable Chinese!"

In Emperor Hirohito's words, there was deep reluctance and resignation. Several ministers also bowed their heads. It is not easy to put this matter on anyone's shoulders. It is obvious that they will be slaughtered, and there is no room for bargaining. , how can you be a wimp, you can express your heartache!

After being disturbed for a while, Emperor Hirohito's eyes burst into fierce flames, and his tone became gloomy. He asked the Minister of War, General Mitsuko Minai, "Missei Minai, who else is in that scumbag Pauli Gavin's family?"

General Mitsuko Minai trembled in his heart, "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor wants to vent his anger on Pauli Gavin's family. They are all members of the army system. Originally, for the sake of robes, they should stretch out their hands." Well, the crime is not as good as the family, but in the current situation, His Majesty the Emperor has already launched a murderous plan, and there is nothing he can do to help, and besides, it seems that it is not worthwhile to stand up for a scum of the empire!"

Minai Koichi replied: "Your Majesty, Pauli Gavin has two sons, one serving in the navy and the other serving in the army, both are lieutenant officers, and a daughter who is studying at the Imperial Army Medical School and will graduate next year. His wife passed away two years ago, and he also has a younger brother who runs a large company and is a man of great financial strength, that's the basic situation!"

Emperor Hirohito let out a gloomy "hum", and said: "Let the Tokyo Gendarmerie Headquarters be responsible for confiscating Pauli Gavin's property, as well as his younger brother's property, and confiscating them into the national treasury. The son, all sent to the front line, and his daughter, don't have to wait until graduation, but also send to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers of the empire. Besides, Paul Gavin's immediate relatives will also be investigated and dealt with. No one is allowed to Plead for this scum, Minai Aiqing, you should be responsible for this matter, after all, it is something that happened to your army system!"

"I have dealt with the matter of Polygavin so severely to let the local people know that betraying the Great Japanese Empire and I will never end well!" His Majesty the Emperor said a few words to inform all Japanese of this fact, Although Pauli Gavin is dead, his family can't escape from being implicated, and there is something hidden in Emperor Hirohito's heart that he didn't say, "The Pauli family has a lot of financial strength, so let's use it to make up for my loss!"

His Majesty the Holy Emperor, since he opened his mouth, Pauli Gavin's family will be completely unlucky. According to estimates from the Japanese domestic media, there are no fewer than 300 people implicated. There are still four or even five clans.

On the afternoon of July 25, the special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, who was in charge of handling the remains of soldiers killed in battle, flew to Hong Kong and asked to meet General Tang Qiuli, the commander of the Independent Division, to conduct bilateral negotiations on specific matters on the basis of agreed conditions. [

In Tang Qiuli's office in Hong Kong, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked, "Master, the Japanese special envoy has arrived. Have you met him?"

Tang Qiuli snorted and said, "I don't need to meet the Japanese, let alone meet with the Japanese. If Yuhe is like this, immediately send a telegram to Zhang Quan, the head of the logistics department in Kunming, and appoint him as the independent division to handle this matter." Representative, you can fly to Hong Kong, our Minister Zhang is a veteran of bargaining, it is very suitable for him to face the Japanese, he can only take advantage of it, and he will definitely not suffer!"

Zhang Quan, who received the order, was still puzzled at first, but when he figured it out, he was cutting flesh from the Japanese, and he immediately became energetic. A large group of logistics department staff and iron abacus formed a huge lineup, took two special planes, and landed at Hong Kong Airport a few hours later.

At the meeting before takeoff, Zhang Quan mobilized in this way, "Everyone knows that the personnel of the relevant departments of our logistics department flew to Hong Kong this time to carry out the order of the division headquarters to deal with the dead soldiers of the Japanese army. Those who deal with little devils, everyone should remember that the knife must be fast and the strike must be ruthless. The teacher has already done the preliminary work. Next, it is up to us to cut off the fat from the little devil. Meat, everyone knows it well, in a word, just let the little devil breathe!"
