Hideki Tojo thought that Abe Norihide would fail, because this man was slightly more courageous than resourceful, and he led his troops to fight in turn, which was not worth mentioning at all among the many Japanese generals.

Famous generals such as Matsui Ishone, Terauchi Shouichi, and Ueda Kaneyoshi were all defeated by the enemy.

Abe Norixiu is impossible, at most a little hot-blooded, can appear a little angry, don't mention anything else.

So he was ready to receive the possibility of defeat.

As a result, he never expected that he had not yet reached the Japanese camp, had not yet led the troops to fight, and had not yet fought a round with Han Li.

and was captured alive.

It's a joke, it's the biggest joke ever.

Hideki Tojo was speechless when he took the report, and handed the contents to the other army generals one by one, "You say, how do you explain to the emperor, the emperor has other confidence in Abe Norihide." ”

He also added, "The last time I reported to the emperor that Ueda Kaneyoshi was captured alive, he suddenly fainted and almost became a catastrophe, but this time, it's like this again, hmph, it's not easy to do." ”

"The emperor's comfort should naturally come first, and there should be no loss."

"Yes, there is no room for mistakes, but the problem is that this matter is so big, I can't help but say it, the emperor is still waiting for the news, if you and I don't report it, it will be a delay in the fighter."

"The main thing is that the million Kwantung Army is still waiting for our reply, they don't have a main general, and the food can only last for five days, so it can't be delayed."

"That's right, it's definitely going to be said, but the question is how to say it."

The generals have different opinions.

But it's basically nonsense, and there is no useful knowledge concept, which makes Tojo Hideki very helpless, rubbing his temples, and sighing with a big gap in his heart.

Fortunately.

Hideki Tojo, an old fritter, still has a way, and thought about it: "I'll go find Prime Minister Hiranuma and talk to the prime minister, what about you, also think about the strategy, how to solve the current trouble, can't go on like this." ”

"Hey."

"Hey!"

This moment.

Hideki Tojo had to go to his old enemy, Kiichiro Hiranuma.

One of the biggest threats to the position of Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma is Hideki Tojo, no, it should be said that it is the biggest threat, but Kiichiro Hiranuma was not given for nothing.

He was very good at suppressing the inside, and with the emperor's permission, he had already arrested countless anti-war activists, as well as some liberals.

Or even assassination without permission.

In the past few days, the domestic public opinion environment has obviously improved a lot, although the sea level is still blocked, although the pressure from abroad is still very great.

But it doesn't work.

Kiichiro Hiranuma is very good at deflecting domestic pressure.

He used the media to spread the incident of the Chinese army burning Japanese soldiers and killing them like snowflakes, and there were many photos obtained from abroad.

The Japanese soldiers in the photo are horrific in their deaths, some are burned, some are killed, and some are lying naked on the ground.

Just think about it.

Anyone who sees their own briefing being so ravaged can be happy and who can accept it.

This time.

The crowd was so enthusiastic that they wanted to avenge the dead soldiers, and even the recruitment office was squeezed out of their heads, and at least hundreds of thousands of reserve troops were recruited at once.

After these items are done.

Kiichiro Hiranuma has also vigorously developed the economy, vigorously developed agriculture, and produced animal husbandry, which he has done very well anyway, and his position as prime minister has also been stable.

His title of old fritter in the political arena is well deserved.

At this time, Hideki Tojo came to visit.

Hiranuma Kiichiro sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and sat in his living room, drinking tea to greet him, the clouds were light and the wind was light, looking at Tojo Hideki, whose cheeks were obviously thinner, and the whole person was obviously more embarrassed, smiled, "Tojo-kun, what's wrong, your face is so bad." ”

Hideki Tojo is the younger generation of Kiichiro Hiranuma.

Although one is the prime minister and the other is the prime minister, and they are officials in the same dynasty, they can almost be said to be on an equal footing, but he is still in the subordinate position, and said politely: "How can you look good if you lose external wars one after another." ”

Then he handed over the report in his arms, "I just received this report, and I invite the prime minister to read it." ”

"Huh?!"

Kiichiro Hiranuma didn't go to see it.

His main task now is internal, not external, he and Hideki Tojo have a clear division of labor, one inside and one outside, he does a good job, and he doesn't want to go to the outside lethargy.

He put it aside and said lightly, "I'll see it." ”

This sentence has a mystery, you will watch it, but it does not mean that you can watch it now, it may be tomorrow, it may be the day after tomorrow, it may even be the day after tomorrow, and it may even be the day after tomorrow.

Or when you ask, I just say I forgot to read it.

So.

Tojo Hideki looked helpless, so he had to say: "Prime Minister, here's the thing, after Ueda Kaneyoshi was captured alive, the emperor fell ill under his anger, and then sent Abe Norihide to the front to continue the battle, but I didn't expect that Abe Norihide was arrested before he reached the battlefield, hey, it can be said that he lost face, and people have no shame to say, but this matter is related to the war ahead, and it must be reported to the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor's body will not be able to bear such news, so my subordinates came to ask the prime minister about his meaning." ”

"That's right."

Kiichiro Hiranuma looked displeased.

I didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but because Hideki Tojo came in person, he had to listen to these, and at this time, he knew that it was related to the emperor's body, so he couldn't ignore it.

I regret not interrupting Hideki Tojo.

He took a sip of tea from his teacup before he said, "Tojo, tell me the truth, whether this war can be won or not." ”

"I can't win the war, as early as a month ago, I proposed to the emperor that the war should be ended, and at most it would be to withdraw from the Chinese battlefield and give up the interests of Taiwan and North Korea, which could be solved, but the emperor refused, so he launched the Battle of Shanhaiguan, but now, almost the defeat is decided, and when the time comes, the entire Chinese battlefield can be said to be undoubtedly defeated, and the fall of North Korea and Taiwan is inevitable, and after that, our homeland will even be threatened."

Hideki Tojo told the truth.

Hiranuma Kiichiro shook his head, "The war has allowed you to achieve this, it is really a loss of face for the empire, hey, it is all those young Zhuang factions who coerce the country to launch a war, who would have thought that the war is so noisy, it is the lives of millions of imperial soldiers." ”

At that point, he began to say something useless, "If I had known that this was the result, I would have blocked it, and you, you should have come and made things clear, instead of coming to this point and saying it." ”

"Hey!"

Hideki Tojo had no choice but to agree.

Hiranuma Keichiro continued, "The most important thing now is the emperor's body, so I think it's better for you to report this matter, because he still trusts you." ”

After talking for a long time, he kicked the ball back again.

Hideki Tojo was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Senior, this has nothing to do with trust or distrust, but how can the emperor accept all this calmly, you also said that the emperor's body is important, and we, as courtiers, have to think about the emperor, and we can't think about anything else." ”

"Then you take all the responsibility, now the emperor is most concerned about his status, if the war is lost, if all the successive reflections after the war is lost, the last thing he wants to see is because he lost the position of the emperor, so you have to stop all the responsibility, and he will accept it."

Kiichiro Hiranuma uttered a crucial sentence.

Hideki Tojo understood, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you seniors for telling me, I know how to do it, and I will use my life to maintain the authority of the emperor." ”

Then he resolutely chose to leave.

Hiranuma Kiichiro took a sip of tea, slowly put it down again, and shook his head, knowing in his heart that Hideki Tojo would die, because only in this way could the sins of the emperor be washed away.

He sighed and looked at himself, hoping that he would be able to escape all this, so thinking of this, he immediately got up and went to prepare for the aftermath of the defeat.

At this moment, Japan is stormy, and at this moment of Japan, no one can control it, just like a flat boat on the sea, there is still the beating of fate.

There's no resistance left.
