Yamamoto was very uncomfortable, because among the many telegrams was a secret telegram from his old friend Mitsumasa Minei, saying that the cabinet was going to be reorganized, and Mitsumasa Yonechi himself would definitely not get a position, but he warned that Yamamoto's position might be moved. Before he could react to what to do, a telegram from Hideki Tojo came, saying that he was being consulted on the future personnel layout of the navy.

He didn't bother to reply to Tojo's telegram, but this did not mean that he did not consider the changes in naval personnel. He originally wanted to restore the iron triangle in the navy, but Mitsumasa Yonechi himself said that it was impossible, so he retreated and wanted Inoue Narumi to be the chief of the military command department, but as a result, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong took the lead again, and then the deputy director of the military command department was not good, because King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong clearly chose Toyota's deputy Takeshi, and the position of the commander of the combined fleet could not be given to Inoue Narumi, not only because Inoue Narumi had a very poor combat command ability, and he commanded several battles in a row was not ideal, and there were too many internal rebound opinions; And because Inoue Narumi is a fleet faction, although he and Yamamoto Isoroku are good friends politically, his ability to understand aviation operations is too poor. He thought maybe he could make this old friend a lieutenant in the navy? It's just that the commander of the combined fleet really doesn't have a suitable candidate after thinking about it.

The only good news was that all parties were selling him face, and both the Emperor and King Fushimi Hiroko had made it clear that he would be the commander of the Combined Fleet.

Who exactly is nominated? He kept thinking about it, and when he thought about it, a person's name suddenly crossed through his mind, and although he himself was surprised, he was still determined to choose this person. After making up his mind, he gave all the day-to-day affairs to Ugaki. I'm going to take a plane back to Tokyo early tomorrow morning.

Admiral Yamamoto's situation is not the most uncomfortable, the saddest is Ugaki Issei. When Koichi Kido informed him that he had finally been considered as a candidate for the new prime minister this time, Kazunari Ugaki, who had been looking forward to the prime minister's throne for many years, almost burst into tears of emotion. But wait until Koichi Kido explains the details. His heart suddenly cooled in half: The selection of cabinet members, especially important cabinet members, was supposed to be the greatest power of the prime minister, but this adjustment was good, and it helped him to determine in advance the land, sea, Tibet, foreign and other important personnel, and even the chief of staff and the chief of the military command department had been selected, and he was the prime minister who was only notified at the end. He stared at Koichi Kido without giving up: "Other than that, I really can't move?" ”

"Your Majesty instructed the rest of the cabinet members outside the five prime ministers to also be stable, and it is not recommended to replace the rest except for those who are particularly inclined to the former prime minister."

"Wouldn't that be ...... Isn't it ......" Ugaki thought about it, and said that "the prime minister has become a puppet of His Majesty". After thinking about it for a long time, I finally didn't have the courage to say it.

As soon as Kido Takashi looked at his shocked and angry face, he knew what the other party was thinking, so he kindly reminded: "Your Excellency, you must understand that this cabinet adjustment is sudden, and it was almost single-handedly facilitated by Your Majesty. Your Majesty has very high expectations, and if you are able to make a difference, you will be able to reorganize the Cabinet in the future according to your own preferences. If you don't believe it, you can look at Foreign Minister Gu Zhengzhi, who was also dispensable. But after this incident, who would dare to underestimate him? ”

"Your Excellency will speak to this point. If I don't accept it, I don't know how to lift up. Ugaki Kazunari gritted his teeth and said, "I took this position, and I will go into battle first with the mentality of acting prime minister." ”

"Ugaki-kun, don't worry, your good days will come."

At the moment of treachery on all sides, Hideki Tojo, who could not resist the strong pressure, finally announced the resignation of the cabinet, he thought that Hirohito would symbolically retain and appease him, but he didn't expect to see him in person. Only Koichi Kido informed him in a cold tone to go to the military police headquarters. This arrangement made Hideki Tojo suddenly blow up his lungs, but there was no way. I can only go to office in despair.

Before Cole, the mastermind behind the culprit, had time to appreciate the effects of the downfall, he was invited to a secret weapons testing ground outside Tokyo to demonstrate the power of the new weapon, Iron Fist. The experiment was so remarkable that not only the members of the next new cabinet would be gathered, but even the emperor himself would attend, and Ishihara received reliable information that the presentation would be followed by a national policy seminar, and that after that, it would be officially announced that Ugaki Issei had formed a cabinet -- that all the personnel had been decided, and that it was just a matter of going through the procedure.

In the center of the field was a scrapped 97 model, and after carefully reading the technical drawings and the real thing, Cole couldn't help but want to laugh, it is said that this is still the most advanced tank in Japan - the batch of models in Germany that are a little later and basically eliminated are better than him. Then the engineer arranged by the Ministry of War Ordnance Agency was fixing a homogeneous steel plate on the front armor with bolts, watching Cole staring intently at the engineer's work, and the technical Dasa, who was in charge of mecha development, said embarrassedly: "Our tank is not as thick as the American tank, so adding a piece of armor is closer to the actual combat simulation, and if you find it difficult, you can take it off." ”

"No, no, no." Cole laughed, "You can put another piece on it if you need to." ”

"Another piece?" The other party thought that his ears had misheard, "That's close to 100mm, which is thicker than the armor of a cruiser." ”

"It's okay, trust me." Cole patted the other party on the shoulder, "We want to be close to the actual battle, don't we?" What if the Americans had such thickly armored tanks? ”

This technical Dazuo really got excited, and immediately commanded to install another piece. The high-level officials outside the venue were chatting with themselves, but after seeing the engineer's actions, their eyes were also attracted, and several high-ranking people from the army pointed at the tank and said in disbelief: "What kind of weapon are the Germans, and they are so powerful?" ”

"Who knows, just don't brag."

Ishihara Waner, who has been appointed as the deputy chief of staff, has resumed his status as an active lieutenant general today, and after putting on a military uniform, he looks extraordinary, which is very different from the impression of the old man who watered at the beginning in Cole's eyes. He walked over and asked if there was any problem, and Cole laughed and teased: "Sir, you are much more handsome now, at least 10 years younger, and you have to run to the happy streets of Tokyo to keep a lot of girls rushing over." ”

"This ......," Ishihara scratched his scalp embarrassedly, pointing to Mitsumasa Yonechi and Isoroku Yamamoto in the crowd, "See, those are the two most popular with the girls in Happy Street." ”

"Yamamoto Yamamoto, a little shorter?"

"Yes."

"Can you introduce me later, I'd love to visit."

"Yes...... But......" Ishihara said in a long voice, "don't mess up your weapon display, you won't be able to explain it in front of Your Majesty." ”

"Of course not, don't worry."

Hearing that Kohl had offered to increase the thickness of the armor and that a random military officer was appointed to serve as a guard to demonstrate on the spot, Emperor Hirohito nodded: "The Germans have a lot of confidence in themselves. ”

As he spoke, the technical officer in charge of the scene waved a red flag and signaled that the demonstration could begin. Everyone thought it would start soon, who knew that Cole was unhurried and pulled the randomly selected Xiaolin Juncao for a while, and then said: "Xiaolin-kun, don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you fly, I brought 20 rounds, you have 20 chances." ”

"Long ...... Sir. It was the first time for Kobayashi to meet an officer who spoke so politely to him, and he was a foreigner, so he was so excited that he didn't know how to put it, so he saluted in a panic and listened to Cole teach him the essentials of the movement. Cole had brought the first improved Tekken No. 1, the range had been increased from 30 meters to 50 meters, and he put the distance at about 40 meters for the sake of safety, and after concisely teaching the operation method, he asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"Hear me." Kobayashi Juncao spoke with a trill.

"Good! Don't rush to play yet, smoke a cigarette. Without saying a word, Cole lit a cigarette and then talked to him all the way.

The chief of staff, King Minoru Higashikuremiya, was a little anxious and asked Ishihara: "Ishihara-kun, what are they rubbing?" Why haven't you started yet? ”

"It's almost starting." Ishihara confidently said, "I think I can succeed in the first attempt." ”

"Really? Do you want to gamble. ”

"Yes." Ishihara looked eager to try, and suddenly saw Yamamoto Fifty-six next to him smiling but not smiling, so he said, "How about Chief Yamamoto also come to gamble?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, everyone knew that Yamamoto Fifty-six had the best gambling skills and was well-known in the circle.

"Okay, bet on what?"

"1,000 tons of aluminum."

"Yes, I'll bet on him the first time." Yamamoto fifty-six spoke.

"What? I'm betting on him to succeed the first time. Ishihara said.

Now there was a sensation all around: what kind of rhythm is this? Two generals with the highest IQ said that the Germans could succeed? Even Hirohito, who was in the distance, laughed and said to Koichi Kido, "Everyone has high expectations for the new weapons of the Germans. ”

Just when everyone was giggling, Kobayashi Juncao, who had completely relaxed and operated according to the technical essentials, pulled the trigger, and with a "boom", the iron fist slammed into the armor, and the position was impartial in the center of the additional armor, and the quasi-head was absolutely speechless.

"Good, you're doing a great job."

"But, sir, nothing has changed?"

"Yes, don't worry."

The crowd also stirred, because no one saw the change, and someone next to him teased Ishihara Waner: "If you just said that the first one is not good, you can win Yamamoto Yamamoto now, there are not many people here who can win Yamamoto......"

But after the on-site inspection, the technical Dazuo, who was responsible for the acceptance, raised a black flag representing "total destruction", and everyone was stunned, and got up and left the table one by one to watch the situation on the ground. Only Yamamoto and Ishihara smiled at each other, and the latter said proudly: "Even if you can't win the gambling game, Chief Yamamoto can't lose to him." (To be continued.) )
