Chapter II: Change of Power

February 28th. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the end of the month. The first team of Kure Gang guards the mansion.

Many things need a reason, no matter whether that reason sounds reliable or not, just like a soldier who goes missing and needs to take a team of 1,000 people into another country's city to search. The assassination of Minister Aizawa gave the Imperial Sect a reason to take action.

"Lord Nagato, it was your classmate who was assassinated, and he was also the Minister of Personnel of the Ministry of the Navy, and if they can assassinate a politician today, you and I may be the next target tomorrow." Standing up at the table was the commander of the Fourth Sentai - Rear Admiral Kondo, a veteran who believed in the doctrine of big ships and huge guns, older than Nagumo Tadaichi, and the cow temper was also the most smelly among the admirals of the navy. In the past, he was a gunnery teacher of Nagato Mutsu, and he was Nagato's right-hand man.

"Mr. Kondo, students don't know what to say or not," Mutsu also expressed his opinion in a rare way, but his habit of speaking humbly has not changed. "If you just kill a few people, you will only get the next round of assassination retaliation. It doesn't make sense, it's better to think about it in the long run. The aircraft carrier faction is very stable for the time being, and we can win them over. Radical control of the power of the Navy. ”

"Aircraft carrier mother? But there was a Kaga that gave me the opportunity to enter Jiangyin, China. I can also destroy the Chinese fleet without much effort! Sinking only four old third-class cruisers, the command blew her like a military god. Obviously, someone wants to borrow the aircraft carrier Niang's faction to suppress our forces. It should take advantage of the fact that the aircraft carrier mother has not yet stood in line and gain an advantage as soon as possible. Major General Kondo didn't listen to Mutsu's opinion at all, as in the past, as a veteran of the Imperial Road faction, he had already thought about which few unpleasant ruling factions to attack, and he even selected a few assassins.

One document after another that should not have appeared was transferred to Nagato's hands, and there was no shortage of bigwigs in the army and navy on the list.

"Please ask Nagato-sama's permission, and my dead soldiers will definitely kill these imperial scum!"

The four Kaohsiung-level sisters naturally would not object to their own admiral's application, and it is likely that they were also arranging the assassination candidate.

After reading the heavy list in his hand, Nagato turned his attention to the commander of the second warband, Tsuchigomon Moriga. He was a famous battleship expert in the Taisho period, and was known as a "magician of naval warfare". "Admiral Tuyumen, what do you have to do?"

"Kill! Murder must be done to show our attitude. "The 35-year-old Tsuchigomon Moriga has a mustache and makes a throat wiping gesture with a smile." Instead of killing the people of the military, it is better to get rid of the ink of the control faction. Seizing the superiority of public opinion is enough to overwhelm the ruling faction. ”

Sitting next to Shouga are the four sisters of the King Kong level, and they are in harmony with the fourth team at the opposite table. King Kong saw his own admiral's handsome speech, and waved his hand and patted Shouhe's shoulder. "HEY~ Admiral said that the appearance of killing people is also full of SMART."

"Sister, image." The fourth sister, Kirishima, hurriedly pulled King Kong back to her seat, and also used a knife to stop her eldest sister from being stupid every day. "This isn't the Second Squad Guard's Mansion."

"It's okay, Kirishima is just too restrained." King Kong still looks stupid, and people always feel that the flagship of the second team is very unreliable.

The Seventh Sentai did not participate in this secret meeting, and behind the Sanjo family was a large consortium of unification forces, and although Sanjo Terumasato was rebellious, he never did what he shouldn't do. On the surface, he is also subordinate to Nagato, and he is considered a neutral. Vice Admiral Shimada, deputy commander of the Kure Port Fleet, was also present, and as an old friend of Rear Admiral Kondo, he also witnessed the imperial faction's gradual loss of power in the political arena.

"I'm sorry, Admiral, he's not feeling well. We quit first. Miss Kamui, who was guarding Shimada's side, saw the other party's gesture and immediately cooperated. It is also a well-known thing that Lieutenant General Shimada has cardiovascular disease, and Nagato saw that Shimada's hands were trembling, trembling and taking the heart-saving pill handed by Kamui, so he got up to help send Lieutenant General Shimada out of the conference room.

In case this veteran did not mention it in one breath and died in the conference room, it would be a great loss for the Imperial Navy. After all, the other party's great military exploits were in his chest, and few admirals dared to speak disrespectfully to this old man.

After a few big men finished speaking, the rest of the officers also had a choice in their hearts. It's a big deal that the empire will die with the lackeys of the unification faction, and after 20 years, he will be a good man again, what is there to be afraid of.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you here are the pillars of the Empire. I don't think there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death mixed here, right? ”

As soon as Nagato spoke, everyone came to their senses, and they knew that the longer Nagato was silent, the more trouble the enemy would have. "I've contacted the light carrier faction, and they're all willing to be on our side. That is, Feng Xiang, Long Xiang, and Xiangfeng. Zuiphon does not participate in our fight. My plan has nothing to do with killing a few ministers or media workers. Since this time is on the line, we must take a certain risk and contribute all our strength to the future of the Japanese Empire. ”

Nagato's words made everyone present a little puzzled, only knowing that now they are also supported by three light aircraft carrier girls.

"Occupy the Imperial Parliament!"

A simple sentence came out of the long gate, but everyone took a deep breath, and they all stared at the long door in surprise, as if they were expecting that they had heard it wrong.

"There is nothing wrong with the ears of all of you. Since the traitors are in power, the following offenses have shaken the authority of His Majesty the Emperor since the Meiji Reform, and the people's livelihood in the country has withered. They expanded the war, but they did not bring war dividends to the empire. Although we will not be able to take the blame for death, we will be brave and faithful. ”

Word by word, Nagato's words inspired many fanatics to fight. The woman who spoke in front of them was the righteous sister of His Majesty the Emperor, and didn't she represent the holy judgment of His Majesty Hirohito today? For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, let them go to the battlefield to fight, they must rather commit suicide than surrender to survive.

"Occupy the Imperial Parliament? Nagato-sama, are you going to ......" Kondo stood up with some excitement, but before he could finish his sentence, Nagato waved his hand and motioned for him to sit back.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has ordered his henchmen to secretly send our troops into Tokyo. Traitors can no longer be allowed to control the government and the opposition, and factions who are truly loyal to the empire and the emperor must be allowed to regain power. Even if we die in Tokyo, we will die for the future of the empire. The battle for Tokyo is going to be a tough battle, so are any of you here going to quit now? ”

Even if there are really people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, when they see their colleagues who have opened a fanatical BUFF around them, they will definitely swallow the frustrating words back into their stomachs. Suddenly, the neat slogan of seven lives to serve the country covered up all voices.

Kure Port was firmly held in the hands of the Nagato faction, including Lieutenant General Kato, the commander of Kure Port, who was also biased towards the Imperial Road faction. It can be said that the convening of the secret meeting was nothing more than a summoning of representatives of middle- and lower-ranking officers who were easily instigated, and the others were convinced by Nagato's imperial decree.

Nagato had been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally it was time for her brother to make up his mind, although the risk was huge, and if he failed, he would become a traitor, and her brother Emperor Hirohito could be further held hostage by the military department. But since even her brother, who had always been weak, could make the decisions that an emperor should do, how could Nagato refuse? As reasonable, she wished to immediately raise troops to level the Imperial Diet and kill all the cabinet officials of the Ruling Faction.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Sousuke Takayanagi, who was far away in the Yokosuka Military Port, received a secret message from Akagi in the First Voyage War, sat on a comfortable sofa chair, leaned forward and backwards with a smile, and read it to Hanachiyo beside him from time to time.

"Nagato still thinks it's the Meiji era? Aren't you funny, Qingjun side? Chinese ancient books are stupid, right? If I really want to be able to step on the council, even if my brother is a saint, I will not divide the power in the slightest. What's more, it's a righteous brother, and he doesn't even have a blood relationship, and he can't be condemned by conscience if he finds a reason to dethrone him. ”

In Sosuke Takayanagi's eyes, the Nagato faction was about to roll off the pinnacle of power, and his carefully prepared strategic ambition to dominate the Pacific Ocean had a chance to be carried out. As long as the American Federation can be defeated, China, the Philippines, the Southeast Asian colonies, Australia and the entire Pacific Ocean will be the territory of the empire.

"To put it bluntly, His Majesty the Taisho Emperor did not choose the right assistant. To this day, he still fantasizes about the emperor controlling the cabinet to manage the country and eventually dominate the world. ”

Hana Chiyo has long been accustomed to Sosuke Takayanagi's nonsense regardless of the occasion, as long as it is made sure that no outsiders hear it, it doesn't matter much.

"I have good news here, too. Both the Xianghe and Zuihe ships can be completed by November, and the Xianghe is expected to be completed at the end of summer. ”

Since the return of the Chizuki sisters, they have been continuing to receive training in Yokosuka, they are different from the First and Second Air Battles, the Admiral of the Fifth Air War is an experienced veteran, and he is also a close friend of the Comintern International Organization behind his back, and he never asks about the Chizuki sisters, and responds to all the doubts with clichés.

"How's the hull of your Yamato-class battleship?"

"It's on track as expected, and you're looking to catch up? Rush to put into service as soon as the regular aircraft carriers are formed? "Hanachiyo knew that Sousuke Takayanagi was already planning a major air raid to start a war and inflict devastating damage on the Pacific Fleet of the American Federation.

"No, Yamato doesn't have to rush to finish the construction. In my plan, I need a regular aircraft carrier battle group. One-two-five is enough. ”

What Sosuke Takayanagi was thinking in his head, no one could guess it, and even the personal secretary Hana Chiyo didn't understand who Takayanagi's gloomy smile contained in it at this moment.

"As soon as Nagato falls, the leader of your ship's mother will be considered a transposition. Akagi Kaga is enough to lead the aircraft carrier faction, and we can unify the Yokosuka military port as soon as possible. As for Maizuru, they are all unstable mine wars, and the only ones who have the right to speak are the Fuso Yamajo sisters, who are staunch Imperial soldiers who have no brains than Nagato. Wu Gang has no people from Nagato, and I don't have to worry about the four sisters of King Kong for the time being, but I can't rest assured that I can't rest assured. Especially the four Kaohsiung-level sisters, they are all from secret agents, you know what I mean? ”

"Eliminated in the 'rebellion'?" Hana Chiyo is different from Nagato, except for the ship girl on her side, other lives and deaths have nothing to do with her.

Sosuke Takayanagi shook his head in denial, "The Fourth Sentai is the most elite heavy patrol team in the Empire, and we can't afford to lose this force. I'll arrange for someone to spy on them, and I've thought of a good candidate. You don't care about it. ”

"Yes, Chief Takayanagi."

Hana Chiyo didn't hear Takayanagi mention the Sasebo Military Port, where it was useless for anyone to come out and disagree except Kii, and after a recent visit. Kii is nothing more than a battleship hull, and her IQ is not much different from that of a destroyer. And Izumo, a veteran who temporarily lives in Sasebo, originally belonged to the Yizhou Dispatch Fleet, and her territory was in Yizhou, and she was just a banner of military merit in her homeland, and no one would really listen to her.

Everything is steadily going according to plan.
