Chapter 2: Karma Arises Like Birth [Act 3] Disillusionment (3)

This trick kills three birds with one stone, and it is really vicious.

But this monstrous anger that wanted to cut Yoshio Kato with a thousand knives only passed in the eyes of Hiroshi Oshima, so fast that Yoshio Kato didn't notice it at all.

The face of the national character was always "unwavering", and he quietly played with the imco lighter: "What Kato-kun said is extremely true, the dignity of Tajiri-kun does represent the dignity of my great Japanese empire." Although Itagaki is no longer a cabinet minister, he was appointed as the first chief of staff of the Shina Dispatch Army, and he is now trying his best to promote the merger of the 'Provisional Government of the Republic of China' and the 'Restoration Government of the Republic of China'. Now, as an ambassador, I would like to remind you that it is best to take care of your time trip and get in touch with my friend immediately. ”

Hiroshi Oshima slyly threw this hot potato back, and Yoshio Kato held back his resentment and reluctantly dialed the phone of the former Minister of War Seishiro Itagaki in an attempt to use Itagaki to at least give Hayashi Zhengdao and his puppet government a disadvantage.

Seishiro Itagaki, who didn't want the Nagasu faction, had been aggrieved for a long time because he had been dismissed from his important post, and he was even more responsible for merging the two puppet governments of Beiping and Nanjing, so he didn't want to listen to the so-called "great good construction" of the Satsuma faction Kato Yoshio.

On the phone, although Itagaki was polite, his tone was extremely cold: "Kato-kun, I can't help with this matter." At present, the merger of the two puppet governments has entered a critical stage, and our side has no choice but to use Liang Hongzhi, Lin Zhengdao, and others even more. Therefore, what if Lin Zhengdao's daughter cut off one of Tajiri's kid's arms? Also, Commander Tada Jun even has a sentence from Confucius's "Analects" to you: 'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan', don't ruin the great cause of the empire because of impulse, and cause the soldiers to die in vain——"

"Red Deer Noro! At this time, the Imperial Land and Sea [27] are still fighting among themselves! After I look at the 'Nomenkan Incident', how long can your so-called 'Great Plan for Advancing North' [28] last! Before Itagaki could finish speaking, Yoshio Kato dropped the phone and scolded the two high-ranking officials of the army department of the Cheung Chau faction for their own interests, and they had cooperated with the outside world from the Japanese political circles and China respectively, and led him to plan to be stillborn. (hua.)

touched a few nails one after another, and Yoshio Kato held back the fire in his belly. Fortunately, Tajiri Mitsu is only a down-and-out bureaucrat, and he does not have anything to do with political dignitaries, so Yoshio Kato is too lazy to wade into this troubled water after all. When he summoned Tajiri Mitsuya again, he couldn't help but slap the other party twice with a fierce attitude, and coldly refused: "Red deer! This kind of thing still alarms our Imperial Japanese Embassy in Duyi? What happens in Duyi will be solved in Duyi's land! ”

"Hay! (Japanese: Got it, okay.) Tajiri Hikaru didn't dare to cover his swollen cheeks, bowed down frequently, and walked away. After running out of the carved iron gate of the embassy in Germany, it was already about three o'clock in the morning. He couldn't help but look back at this building, and his heart was sour: he never expected that at the critical moment, his motherland would look forward and backward, timid, and unable to settle a Chinese woman.

So, even the motherland has completely abandoned itself, what is the meaning of this life? When Tajiri Hikaru was also desperate, he had the idea of taking a knife and cutting himself out. However, when he was about to return to the University of Munich, he suddenly remembered Yoshio Kato's words, and he couldn't help but pat his head and run to Prince Albrechtstrasse in the night.

Exegesis:

[27] Imperial Land and Sea: In the early days of the Meiji Restoration, there was no parliament or constitution in Japan, and it was completely a feudal lordship, and from then on, the main forces of the Meiji Restoration, the Satsuma Domain and the Nagasu Domain, each had their own military support and influenced the domestic political situation. And after the new armies gathered from Satsuma and Nagasu developed separately, Satsuma became the navy and Nagasu became the army. The army and navy both consume resources and represent the interests of different feudal lords, so there are contradictions in the competition for resources such as steel and oil. ）

[28] 'Northward Expansion Plan': The plan for the northward expansion was that at that time, in order to seize oil and other war resources, Japan planned to launch an offensive against Siberia of the Soviet Union, mainly with the army, with the goal of attacking the area around Lake Baikal.
