"Ah! Mr. Takahashi, you're still alive! Oh, I'm sorry, I stepped on your wound... Mr. Takahashi! Mr. Takahashi!! Why aren't you responding?!"

"Ohashi-kun! Are you still conscious? Hey, what is this? Why is it stuck in your abdomen? I'll pull it out right now... Hey? Ohashi-kun! Ohashi-kun! Ah, I shouldn't have pulled it out! I'll put it back in right now! Puff!" "Huh? Itagaki-kun! Where's your dick? Ah! I saw it! I'll put it back in right away! Hey? This wound needs to be enlarged, otherwise it won't fit back... Oh, sorry, my hand slipped..."

"Mitani-kun! Look at me! Mitani-kun! Your neck is crooked! I'll straighten it right away! Snap! Mitani-kun! Speak! Why aren't you speaking?"

"Hanatani-kun...Kinda-kun...Imamura-kun...Ah, you guys abandoned the empire too...Hey, who the hell are you? Chinese? Get out of here! I have to save the people of the Empire of Japan first! Snap!"

In short, before the medical team arrived, thanks to Fujiwara no Kanezane's miraculous healing, the injury rate of those participating in the enthronement ceremony dropped sharply.

Of course, the soldiers and rescue team members who arrived at the scene didn't know any of this and could only watch in fear and admiration as they tried their best to save people.

Even though he was covered in a mess (after rolling in a pile of blood) and his face was covered in blood (after being splashed by someone else's blood), he was so calm and composed!

If it weren't for him, the scene wouldn't be so orderly! Oh my God!

Doesn't he have any fear?! That's amazing!

Fujiwara-kun is indeed worthy of being a descendant of the royal family and a pillar of the empire!

089 Everything can be fought between land and sea

Previously, I don’t know which idiot came up with all these suggestions like “let all the warriors who occupied Northeast China enjoy this glory”, “show the style of the Empire of Japan”, and “appease Puyi”.

Therefore, almost all of the senior staff who were responsible for planning the "918 Incident" and many mid- and high-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army, rank of colonel and above, attended the founding ceremony of the "Great Manchuria Empire" and stood relatively close to the front. As a result, the casualties... well, thanks to the efforts of a certain medical genius, there were basically no casualties, but in short, the death toll was extremely heavy:

Honjo Shigeru, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was killed in the bombing;

Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Mitsuharu Miyake was killed in the bombing;

Jiro Tamon, commander of the Japanese 2nd Division, was killed in the bombing;

Former Army Minister Minami Jiro, who was specially invited to attend the ceremony, was killed in the explosion;

Ishiwara Kanji, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, died of excessive blood loss after his thigh was blown off.

Itagaki Seishirō, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, died after his penis was severed by a blast, causing the wound to expand and bleed inexplicably; the Kwantung Army...

All the middle and senior officers of the Kwantung Army, except those on special missions, officers who had to be stationed in various places, and the commander of the Navy's 2nd Overseas Fleet, Shizue Tsuda, who did not want to see the face of the army, were directly wiped out; in addition to the casualties of the Japanese army, the "deputy ministers" and other officials of various departments of the "Manchukuo", except for small shrimps like Zhao Ziqi who were not qualified to stand in the front, also died.

After receiving the news of the attack, Emperor Hirohito, who was having a big meal with his mother Setsuko Kujo, almost fainted because he had signed a treaty with "Manchukuo" which was great news for the country.

When his buzzing head cleared up, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, notified his attendants to gather all the important officials, and held a meeting in front of the emperor:

“What’s going on?!”

"Your Majesty, we've only received a basic report on casualties. We're still unable to determine the specific attackers or the methods they used," Inukai Tsuyoshi, looking haggard, bowed and reported.

"Now we..."

"Show it to me!"

The Emperor, unceremoniously snatching the telegram, saw the long list of "confirmed casualties" sent from the northeast, and his vision went dark. They were all high-ranking generals, the backbone of the empire, all the people I had carefully trained and arranged!!!

Including officials from the "Manchukuo," more than 200 people attended the ceremony. With the exception of a dozen or so survivors, the rest died in the explosion, a devastating loss. However, compared to the casualties, Hirohito was more concerned about the situation in Northeast China.

The senior officers have been swept away, how can they maintain stability there?

Even Puyi is dead!

Originally, according to the plan, this guy should have been squeezed out of all his usefulness and then "died of illness" directly, and then passed the throne to a member of the Japanese royal family before his death! Now that's good!

All wasted!

Puyi can die, but not now!!

As if he had guessed the Emperor's thoughts long ago, Inukai Tsuyoshi immediately made a new report:

"Your Majesty, the entire city of Changchun is currently under martial law. All information has been blocked, and all personnel have been quarantined. We are the only ones who know about this matter."

Phew...that's good.

As long as the situation is under control, it doesn't matter if some people die. At this time, Hirohito suddenly noticed a problem:

"Who is in command now? Tsuda? Atsuto? Or..." "Your Majesty, please read the signature."

...”

Hirohito finally turned to the end and discovered that the name of the reporter was... Fujiwara no Kanezane?

The Kwantung Army has this senior military...

Huh?!

Because his mind was too confused and someone had never served in the army and had a low sense of existence, Hirohito almost didn't realize that this was his "brother-in-law". He was still alive...

"Is he commanding the army to control the entire situation in Changchun?" "Yes."

How is this done?!

No one knew better than Hirohito how unruly the army's idiots were.

Back then, during a "certain major incident in the palace," he nearly sacrificed his marriage in order to overthrow the army's Yamagata Aritomo! How many days had Fujiwara no Kanezane been gone?

It's less than a month at most, right?

The Army is actually willing to obey?

Oh, maybe it was because there were no other important people at the scene. Hirohito did not take this little thing to heart and continued to read the report:

"Seal off the scene... impose martial law throughout the city...investigate the situation...rescue the wounded...report to the higher-ups..." This guy is doing pretty good!

Since there was already someone on the scene to handle the situation, and his performance was satisfactory, Hirohito felt relieved and waited patiently.

Soon, a third report arrived, stating that "it is highly likely that someone had buried a large amount of explosives at the scene beforehand, which led to such heavy casualties." So that was the reason, explaining how such a large number of casualties could have occurred.

Hirohito's face turned cold and he asked:

"What is the Cabinet's opinion? What is the Army's opinion?"

Before Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi could come to a conclusion, Army Minister Araki Sadao immediately stood up and shouted passionately:

"Your Majesty, we must immediately send more troops to the Northeast! Strike hard against the resistance forces in Northeast China! Avenge our dead and wounded comrades in the army!"

".."

red deer!

Idiot! Reckless man!

Almost everyone in the conference room cursed inwardly.

Whether it was Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi, Foreign Minister Yoshizawa Kenkichi, (Army) Chief of the General Staff Prince Kan'in Yasuhito, Chief of the Naval General Staff Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, or Navy Minister Osumi Motoo. More troops?

Increase your country grandmother's army!

The Battle of Shanghai just ended a few days ago. The divisions that suffered heavy casualties are waiting to return home to rest and are very resentful. Which troops are you going to mobilize? In addition, the international community is extremely dissatisfied with our seizure of Northeast China. The "International Investigation Team of the Northeast Incident" is currently in Tokyo. You are sending troops to Manchuria at this time.

Whose face are you going to slap?

Even if we take a step back and ignore things like military morale and the impact of international public opinion, do you want to consider whether domestic finances and supplies can continue to support it?

Not to mention the ministers who had their own interests to consider, even Hirohito himself did not support increasing troops.

After signing the Tanggangzi Agreement with Puyi, Japan, whose appetite was basically satisfied and strategic goals were exceeded, no longer wanted to fight, so it announced a ceasefire with China under international mediation. At this time, mobilizing troops to Manchuria would be tantamount to riding on the heads of the mediating countries such as Britain and the United States. Even if more money was given to the "International Investigation Team", it would still be embarrassing.

Hirohito, he has some shame...

(Historically, after receiving enough benefits, the commission (i.e., the "Lytton Commission") frantically whitewashed Japan's occupation of Northeast China.) Most people were reluctant to speak at this time, and only Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi said tactfully:

"Mr. Araki, the domestic finances and supplies are already very tight..."

"What's the big deal about food? We don't mind the lack of supplies in our army! As long as we have the spirit of the emperor, even if we only have bamboo spears, we can occupy Manchuria!" What followed was a series of slogans and empty promises of loyalty, which made people clench their fists but were unable to refute them at all.

Originally, facing the army's crushing defeat, Navy Minister Osumi Tsuneo had intended to remain quietly amused and not intervene (because the navy had suffered a disastrous defeat in Shanghai). However, a remark from Araki Sadao infuriated him. This attack was due to the Japanese army's insufficient strength in Manchuria. Our army wasn't some useless bunch; as long as we increased our forces, everything would be fine!

Will things get better if we increase our troops?

You told me the same thing when we attacked Shanghai, and even mocked me by saying, "The Navy and Marines are truly vulnerable." What was the result?

Your army plays better than my navy after entering the field? Fuck you!

Want to pass on the blame? No way!

Then, Dajiao Censheng interrupted in a sarcastic tone:

"Then I wonder, Lord Araki, which unit do you plan to send? The Ninth Division, which has just been withdrawn from Shanghai after repeated setbacks, or the heroic and invincible Fourth Division?

As we all know, in the recent Battle of Shanghai, Ueda Kenkichi replaced Nomura Kichisaburo, who was not faring well, and led the 9th Division in the main attack alongside the Shanghai Dispatched Mixed Brigade. His pre-battle slogan was resounding: "Defeat the Chinese Army in One Battle!" He also issued an ultimatum to Cai Tingcuo, commander of the 19th Route Army: "Those who do not retreat will bear the consequences!"

As a result, these guys were beaten badly in Wusong Town and Miaohang, and even a major and hundreds of soldiers were captured by the Chinese army.

If Araki Sadao hadn't been so shameless as to force the cabinet to send the 11th and 14th Divisions, along with over a hundred aircraft, it's doubtful whether a peaceful ceasefire could have been achieved. So, will things be better if more troops are sent?

What? Aren't the reinforcements in Shanghai enough? As for the 4th Division?

Hahahaha...it’s better not to say anything.

I heard that during the Russo-Japanese War, they spent less time fighting than doing business...

Everyone understood this sarcasm, including Araki Sadao, who flew into a rage and retorted:

"I don't know. Has the Terukuni Maru been salvaged? Has the damage to the Izumo been repaired? Have the bodies of the Navy sailors been recovered?"

Well, as we all know, during the Battle of Shanghai, the Terukuni Maru was sunk by some bastard from nowhere, and hundreds of marines on board were wiped out.

Perhaps inspired by this incident, the 19th Route Army dispatched a suicide squad to dive and damage the Third Fleet flagship, the Izumo.

Because of the poor installation position and insufficient explosives, the "Izumo" did not sink, but was frightened and turned randomly, resulting in the sinking of another Japanese ship... As for the casualties of other naval units in this Battle of Shanghai, there is no need to mention them.

Just as only the navy knows how to mock the army, only the army knows how to mock the navy. So, Osumi Tsuneo was instantly enraged and cursed:

"Araki, you bastard! If it weren't for your army deliberately dragging its feet, how could our navy fail!" "Elupa! Don't blame others if you're useless yourself!"

"Assholes! A bunch of disobedient army idiots went against the will of the Empire and arbitrarily expanded the war, leading to today's situation!" "I should have had reporters film you navy idiots begging me to send army support to Shanghai and broadcast it around the world!" "Stop flattering yourself! Don't think I don't know you were trying to gain benefits for the army!"

"I suggest abolishing the incompetent Marine Corps!"

"I suggest that our navy take over Northeast affairs!" "Navy horse shit!"

"Army Red Deer!"

The problem is that the Battle of Shanghai ended in an ugly situation where neither side won nor lost. Otherwise, the conflict between the two sides would not have been so serious. Now, if we don't take this opportunity to pass on the responsibility, what are we waiting for?

".."

His Majesty the Emperor's face turned pale.

We haven't figured out a solution to this Northeastern mess yet, and you, the navy and army, are starting it again? You bastards!

Do you still see me as the emperor?

As members of the imperial family, Prince Kan'in Yasuhito and Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, assigned to suppress the army and navy, could only smile wryly. At this moment, a series of telegrams interrupted their argument, interrupting others who were about to intervene. More precisely, it was a solution proposed by a certain Fujiwara:

Requested that Puyi's younger brother Pujie be sent to the Northeast;

or...

090 This time I have to bury the second son of the Prime Minister

"...Tsk tsk tsk, a lot of people died this time..."

While enjoying his agent personally "bandaging" his wounds, Mark looked at the statistical report with a serious face, but said frivolously: "Oh, how pitiful! Many families in the country must be crying now... sob... my heart aches..."

Ever since coming to this world and becoming familiar with the Commander, the Agent felt that his skill in rolling his eyes had become increasingly refined.

What on earth does this commander want to do?

I don't understand, I don't understand...

However, even though he knew nothing about the future plans, the agent had no complaints.

On the contrary, the agent became increasingly certain that this was his former commander.

Back then, when he simply erased his own existence, abandoned everyone and suddenly left that world, he didn't reveal a single word beforehand;

If the RO635 cloud map had not been special and had not detected the anomaly, leaving a calibration point, perhaps no one would ever remember that they once had a commander; he protected everyone, and now it is our turn to protect him.

After tying the bandage on Mark's head with a beautiful bow, the rear agent finished the task at hand and asked, "Commander, what do we do now?"

"Have they sent all the arranged telegrams?" "Yes."

"Then send the last message, requesting that Puyi's younger brother Pujie be sent to Changchun immediately, or..." Mark looked in the direction of a hotel in the distance.

"...Woo...Woo! Woo woo woo!"

"Hmm? You mean you can control it? If so, nod your head." "Woo woo woo!"

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go right now."
