Han Li didn't have any good ideas to fight the Japanese army.

In fact, the Japanese army also had no good way to deal with Han Li.

Another large-scale rout in the North China Theater, with the loss of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and the blockade of the Sea of Japan by Han Li's two aircraft carrier fleets, caused Japan's international trade to be directly cut off.

It can be said that it is even worse.

In Japan, several large-scale military defeats and casualties have made the internal anti-war posture more and more serious, and there are more and more protest demonstrations.

This made the life of the Japanese military not so easy. In addition to dealing with the military operations on Han Li's side, he also had to be busy with suppression at home.

Of course.

At this time, Japan belonged to the military and political period, and there were 100 ways to deal with the demonstrations, which was not particularly troublesome, but the grievances of the people represented in this should not be underestimated.

Japan** has never been monolithic.

Although the main faction occupies a dominant position, with the help of the emperor, the prime minister, and the prime minister, there are still some factions that hope for the peaceful development of the country, so that the people can live with peace of mind, and do not fight or fight.

At this time, there is naturally a lot to do.

Secretly organized various opportunities and disseminated all kinds of news, so that the families of those soldiers who died in the war knew that their son died in China.

This time.

The demonstrations, the anti-war movement, naturally became more and more intensive, and the undercurrents were surging, containing bigger things, which made the Japanese military and political circles a mess.

The most important of these were the two aircraft carriers sent by Han Li to roam the Sea of Japan every day, and the Japanese fishing boats that made a living from fishing could not get out.

Without the need to transmit the sound, the Japanese people have already known that the country is already in a passive position, and the victory in the war is not as rumored to be invincible, but with serious casualties.

For a time, people were panicked and did not dare to go to sea.

War is like that, when it is won, it can be celebrated, it can be a holiday, when it is lost, it is a disaster, it is destroyed.

Layer after layer of news was transmitted, and one by one things that they didn't want to be known about were the way of the people, and nearly a million Japanese soldiers died before and after, almost all of whom were children of the right age.

This is unacceptable for any country. Japan's political turmoil has become even more serious, and it can be said that it is on the verge of losing its balance.

There is a saying in China that says it very well.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

Emperor Showa naturally knew.

But he also knew very well that as long as the news of victory came, all the noisy voices in the country would stop, and there was nothing wrong with war, but defeat was wrong.

At this time, he frowned and called the current Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichiro Hiranuma.

This Hiranuma Kiichiro is an evergreen tree in Japanese politics, he is already a dying old man, over seventy years old, and he became the prime minister entirely by virtue of his seniority and seniority.

In the current era when the whole of Japan is dominated by the Young Zhuang faction, his existence is already out of place.

A lot of the time.

He doesn't have much say at all, he belongs to the role of a good old man, attending occasions where the emperor doesn't want to attend, and doing things that the emperor doesn't want to do.

The Ministry of Marine War and the Ministry of the Navy did not pay attention to him at all, and many things were basically bypassed and reported directly to Emperor Showa.

Kiichiro Hiranuma himself knows very well, so he also turns a blind eye and strives to finish his term as prime minister, and there is nothing else to ask for.

Of course, this guy is still a war maniac, his hands are covered in blood, he just has no right to speak, otherwise, he is no worse than Hideki Tojo.

Emperor Showa called him this time, and he didn't have a good face, and asked directly in reprimand: "Hiranuma, how is your relationship with France and Germany, the fate of the empire depends on you and me." ”

"Report to the Emperor, the situation is not very good."

Hiranuma Kiichiro knelt there, thin and thin, wearing glasses, with a mustache, hanging his head like a withered old man, and said: "France is no longer in the mood to start a war with China, their interests are in Africa, in Europe, and they have decided to withdraw from Asia." As for Germany, they told me clearly that they are re-examining our position in Asia, their alliances, and that they want to have a strong ally, not a defeated ally. ”

"Eight Tooth Road."

Emperor Showa was very angry and gritted his teeth and said, "That's what Hitler said? He told me that he would rule the world with me. ”

“······”

Kiichiro Hiranuma was speechless.

In fact, he is not good at diplomacy, and he is best at suppressing internally, which is what this scheming guy is best at, so he wants to lead the topic here, not to mention diplomatic matters, diplomatic matters are now a mess.

In response to that sentence, a weak country has no diplomacy.

The defeated countries had no diplomacy, and no one would reach out when the sailors were about to drown, because that would probably drag the rescuers into the sea.

Everyone understands this.

Kiichiro Hiranuma knew this very well, and it was useless to talk about it, so he said, "The emperor ······"

Who would have thought.

Emperor Showa didn't give him a chance to speak at all, he interrupted directly, gritted his teeth and said: "What about the most advanced submarine that you bought in Germany, Germany's submarine is the most powerful in the world, they don't know how to practice submarines and don't sell them." ”

"Sell, sell, but Germany itself is also strengthening its war readiness, it seems that Germany is going to fight, so if we want to buy, we have to queue up, well, the time is three years, and after three years, it will be our turn."

"Three years?!"

Emperor Showa was utterly furious.

There was really no talk of faith between the major powers, and before that, Hitler was respectful to him, and he was courteous, not to mention how polite.

Information sharing, technology sharing.

Now it's good, buy submarines, don't sell them.

He asked the Japanese submarine to attack Han Li's aircraft carrier fleet, but before he could get closer, they were all sunk, and the entire Japanese submarine formation could be said to exist in name only.

Nearly 100 ships, none of which survived, mainly because they could not pose a threat at all.

He thought of Germany.

Who would have thought that this trick would not work, so he said: "You personally call Hitlevus and tell him that our war in China is about to be won, and he should not abandon the allies at this time, as long as we can have a strong enough submarine, we can achieve the final victory." ”

"Yes, I'll fight when I get back."

Kiichiro Hiranuma wrote it down.

Emperor Showa was still not at ease, gritted his teeth and continued: "Remember, I want to talk to Hitlius that this guy still likes the power of the East very much, and tells them that in the East, in Asia, it still belongs to us, understand?" ”

Kiichiro Hiranuma nodded immediately, "Understood." ”

At this time, Emperor Showa eased up a little.

Because so far, Han Li's aircraft carrier had no intention of attacking the Japanese mainland, so he could take a few breaths, so he also waved his hand, preparing to let Hiranuma Kiichiro go down and hurry up to do this.

Deep down in his heart, he even thought that if this is an old guy like Kiichiro Hiranuma who can't do it, let him go into the wilderness and not let this old guy delay his national fortunes.

Hiranuma Kiichiro also knew very well in his heart, so he had to show his talents, so he said, "Emperor, there have been many lords and factions in the country recently who are engaged in small actions, and I have a lot of evidence, and I am ready to arrest and kill a group, what do you think?" ”

He was afraid that he would not be able to attract the attention of Emperor Showa, so he said exaggeratedly: "Many of these people are actually explaining that the reason why the country was defeated was because of the existence of the emperor, and the emperor hindered the development of the country, and our country should be like the West, and it is really heinous to send the emperor to the guillotine." ”

"What, if someone dares to say such a thing, it must be killed, it must be killed."

Emperor Showa was furious.

What he feared most was not defeat, but the danger to his position, and of course, this was not the most fearful, the most feared was that the position of the emperor would be lost in his hands.

He can step down, he can apologize, he can die.

But if the emperor is gone.

He is sorry for his ancestors, sorry for the emperors of all generations.

This is the last thing he wants to happen, and it is also the last thing he wants to see, and he immediately roared with bloodshot eyes: "These people must die, and none of them are allowed to stay." ”

"Yes, I'll let them die all of them."

Kiichiro Hiranuma liked this feeling very much, and it would prove his usefulness, and immediately lowered his head, and when he left, he still held his head high, still the prime minister of the Japanese Empire.

Under one man, above ten thousand.
