When the troops of the Cabinet Elders and the War Commander stormed the palace and forced Emperor Taisho to abdicate, two long-lost turboshafts wreaked havoc in the air. The two planes sped into the sky above the palace at great speed, and without hesitation, they bombarded the palace indiscriminately.

Before the elders of the cabinet and the commander of the War Department had time to rejoice in their political success, they had to hold their heads in the dangerous building and be afraid. The surrounding buildings continued to collapse as waves of attacks followed, and the palace they were in was constantly sliding down the walls with debris from the explosion. None of the surrounding areas seemed to be safe, and they didn't even know if the ceiling above their heads would fall with them the next moment.

"Damn the Chinese!" The Cabinet Elder cursed in a low voice, annoyed that he hadn't taken the two hidden turbines seriously. But now, no matter how much they say, they have also paid the price for their rashness.

Crown Prince Hirohito stood aside, trying to keep his composure, but it was not difficult to see his nervousness in his expression.

He hesitantly glanced at Emperor Taisho, who was sitting beside him and looked crazy and in a trance, and ran to the side of the cabinet elder: "What shall we do, my lord?" He habitually asked for the advice of his teacher.

"Your Highness, always pay attention to your identity, you are the noble crown prince, our decision-maker, and at such times, no matter who panics, you must not lose your way! Think about it, and then use your wisdom to make a choice for us, this is the first order you have issued since your regency. ”

"I see." Crown Prince Hirohito apparently also felt the weight of these words from the words of the cabinet elders, and he took a deep breath, feeling something heavy on his shoulders. Every decision he makes has the power to affect the entire country.

It's a very uncomfortable feeling to be oppressed by this kind of pressure. Crown Prince Hirohito clenched his fists, no wonder his father was often in a violent mood, and under such pressure, it was difficult for anyone to maintain a good mood. However, he is not the same as his father, and he will definitely be more successful than his father!

"From now on, everyone will leave the palace."

At present, the manufacturing industry of aircraft has just started, and there are still a few countries capable of using aircraft to fight, and naturally there will be no air-raid shelters around. Once they leave the palace, they expose themselves directly to the enemy's noses. But what has been huddled in the palace, waiting for them, may be the fate of being buried alive by the collapsed building. Compared with the two, it is better to go out and fight, at least the former is not so cowardly!

"Didn't you hear your Highness's orders? Don't get out yet! The voice of the cabinet elder Yan sù sounded in the palace.

Emperor Taisho was still sitting on the sidelines in despair, dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking, and even the crown was trampled on the soles of his feet. The people and horses in the palace have different looks.

"You want us to listen to a little child's command? You're playing with our lives! Said an officer in the War Department.

Although they agreed to let Crown Prince Hirohito regent, it was only because Emperor Taisho's actions were so unorthodox, and as far as Crown Prince Ren himself was concerned, they did not believe that the crown prince was capable of making decisions on matters of seriousness on his own.

Crown Prince Hirohito, who is now only sixteen years old, is obviously not a stable and reliable prince in their hearts, and if he only issues some inconsequential orders, they don't mind obeying him in order to save the face of the imperial family. But now, the situation is urgent, and it is about the life and death of everyone here! Do you really want to put your life in the hands of a small child?

Most of the people in the military department, as well as some cabinet members, felt that this was too child's play.

Crown Prince Hirohito obviously knew that many people around him were still not convinced, so he spoke again: "The Chinese people don't intend to kill us all, otherwise, they wouldn't just bomb the palaces around us, and not attack us. Obviously, they just want to give us a warning. It's useless for us to hide here, it will only make the situation worse, it's better to go out and see what they really want. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right." The Cabinet Elder looked at his students with satisfaction, and then glanced sternly at the people around him: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, he can see much more clearly than you people. ”

Some of the officers blushed and felt ashamed of what he meant. Indeed, they are not as courageous as a sixteen-year-old boy, which is a bit of a shame.

Everyone around them was thoughtful, and not a single one of them refuted the words of the cabinet elders and Crown Prince Hirohito, apparently acquiescing to their words.

"Now, then, come out with me." Crown Prince Hirohito tried his best to show the majesty of the imperial family, but there was still a greenness in his words and deeds that could not fade, which is why many people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards him.

When everyone exited the palace and came to the open space in front of the palace, the two planes that had been bombing over everyone's heads really stopped attacking. However, even if they were only silently suspended in mid-air, to those below them, it was equivalent to a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

Crown Prince Hirohito had just raised his head and looked at the two planes in the air, and he felt a little dizzy. But he knew that the more this time came, the more he could not show a little timidity, whether in front of his own people or in front of his enemies. He forced himself to ignore the feeling, and then, raising his hands at the two planes, he made a gesture of surrender: "We ask for peace with you!" ”

No matter how loud he shouted, the two pilots in mid-air couldn't hear it, but they saw his surrender. After a brief exchange between the two drivers, one of them sped away with a turbine shaft, while his companion remained in place, staring at the man of the highest position in Japan today.

Crown Prince Hirohito had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard an officer from the War Department say, "With all due respect, Your Highness, this act of yours is really unwise. How can we surrender to the Chinese? What a shame for us Japanese! This will make our country laughed at by the rest of the world! ”

"Then what should I do if you sue sù!" Repeatedly provoked, Crown Prince Hirohito was not without anger, he said coldly: "Just now, I received news that our air force was completely wiped out at the hands of the Chinese, and our navy, and those who were still alive were all captured by them. Now, dozens of their 'big birds' -- the same two things that bombed us just now -- are still eyeing us. If you sue me, if we don't surrender, how can we resist those tricky 'big birds'? Is it just your War Department? ”

Many people in Japan, including Crown Prince Hirohito, did not know much about turboshaft and piston propeller machines, so they thought of piston propeller planes as something akin to turboshaft fighters. These "flying weapons" left a deep impression on them. Because of the total annihilation of the airship team, the young crown prince felt a sense of awe in his heart for the airplane.

This directly led him to ignore the dissuasion of the Minister of Finance and purchase many piston propeller planes from China for air defense. Of course, that's a story for later, so let's not mention it for now.

Crown Prince Hirohito's sarcastic words made the officer very uncomfortable: "Your Highness, it is really disappointing that you lack courage and fear the Chinese people in this way. ”

If it was in the past, it would definitely be a stern faux pas for him to talk to the crown prince like this, but now, relying on his own merits, he has a lot less scruples when he speaks. If he wants to be respectful and obedient to a child, he really can't do this kind of thing.

"If you're not satisfied, take your Marines and take down all those 'big birds' for me! In this way, we don't have to grovel to the Chinese, can you! Crown Prince Hirohito said angrily: "I believe that the ability of a soldier is not shown in words, but in strength!" Now, look at me, and then sue me, can you repel the Chinese? ”

The War Office officer's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he opened his mouth, but finally he couldn't say anything. It's obviously unrealistic for them to deal with things that fly in the air. Although he was choked by Crown Prince Hirohito and subconsciously wanted to refute, he could only endure this breath after all. He believed that if he said the word "can", he would be immediately sent to the front line by the newly baked regent.

The prickly head was quiet, and Crown Prince Hirohito finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside with a calm face. The cabinet elders were also very pleased to see that Crown Prince Hirohito had beautifully resolved the doubts from his subordinates. Even if he supported Crown Prince Hirohito, it would be impossible for him to block all the troubles, at least not for him to replace the young crown prince and accept the scrutiny of his subordinates. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was as good as he imagined, and his father was far less good than him at his age.

After the relief, the brows of the cabinet elders locked again. has just gained power, and when he encountered such a thing, I don't know whether this is a blessing or a misfortune for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How will this affect Japan's development?

As the minutes ticked by, it was a long and torturous wait for the group of people who held the highest power in Japan. It's like a person who is about to be tried, and before he goes to court, he doesn't know what kind of punishment the judge will give him.
