King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong is very skillful in complaining, and he says very little about contempt for the military command department and arbitrariness, because the battle has been won, and attacking the other party's arbitrariness can only show that the dictatorship is good, which in turn confirms that it is inappropriate to send the military command department's fingers, and the focus of his attack is "inviting people to buy people's hearts, forming a party for personal gain, and not falling off the tail".

In the past few days, the Ministry of the Navy and the Military Command Department have been working together to draw up promotions and rewards for meritorious officers, but as a result, the promotion has encountered trouble, and the rewards are even more tricky. The list of promotions that Hori reported was long, and basically most of the officers had to be promoted to one level, and some officers who had died in battle were required to be promoted to two levels (first the normal promotion of one level, and then the posthumous promotion of one level). King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was not in a bad mind, and knew that obstructing too much in the matter of promotion would cause public anger in the fleet, and the officers and men would only deviate from him, but Hori Yoshi's list of requests for promotion was too large and too fast, and he felt that it was uneven -- not within the fleet, but within the fleet and other systems of the navy, and more importantly, with the system of seniority.

For example, Hori Yiji proposed 4 candidates for the promotion of generals, he thinks that at most it can only be Kondo Nobutake and Takasu Shiro, and the promotion of Tsukahara is already an exception, if you promote any of the 37th Kusaka of the Navy, what about the earlier predecessors? Another example is that Horikichi wants to promote Mitsuo Fuchida to major general, but the latter is only the 52nd phase of the navy, not to mention the same period, it is the seniors who graduated 5-6 years earlier than him, for example, only a few of the people who graduated in the 46th and 47th phases have become generals, and the promotion of Osa to major general is the most difficult step, even more difficult than the promotion of lieutenant general to general, and Fuchida easily crossed over? At the time of the Battle of Midway, he was no more than a lieutenant.

It is difficult to be promoted, and it is even more difficult to be rewarded, he sent his henchman, the head of the Operations Department of the Military Command Department, Fuliufan, to inquire about the news and ask the officers and men of the fleet what reward they need, when everyone was drunk, Fuliufan asked some officers who were close and familiar with him in a joking tone, and the answer he got made him stunned: "The commander has been rewarded once in Europe by the German and Italian allies, as long as the salary of the past few months can be repaid, and the rest will be looked at and given, if the empire's finances are in difficulty, it is okay not to reissue, Anyway, it's not bad for the money now......"

Then asked in detail about the content of the German and Italian rewards, and was shocked that Fukuru was dumbfounded: the entire combined fleet from top to bottom in Europe received nearly 3 times the income according to the German and Italian standard military ranks, and the income of German and Italian officers of the same level was high, plus additional in-kind rewards, which was almost equal to the domestic salary for 10 years, and the officers above the major general received a German-Italian brand car, and some particularly prominent middle-level officers such as Fuchida Mitsuo and Akamatsu Sadaaki were also one per person, and he also vaguely heard that including Tsukahara 243 and others, A large number of people got checks to buy villas outside Tokyo; The other officers, who did not receive the car, also received various gifts such as motorcycles, gramophones, radios, etc. In addition to the physical rewards, there were also many spiritual honors, and a large number of Iron Crosses, Knights' Crosses, and Italian Orders of Loyalty and Service were issued, with which both Germany and Italy were given preferential treatment.

In other words, in addition to the military ranks, Germany and Italy have given enough what they can and can't. Horikichi estimated this too little, and the labor costs of Germany and Italy for the combined fleet were definitely not more than tens of millions of marks as he said, but more than 400 million marks, and tens of millions of physical gifts alone were not enough. But Horikichi didn't ask about the specific numbers, and Hoffman wouldn't put it on the table and say that it was all going to be given to the Japanese, so what's the point of worrying about it? What's more, this time the combined fleet really fought well, and the results were fully worthy of these hundreds of millions of marks. Finally, and most crucially, the military equipment sold by Germany to Japan basically made half of the money, and the 400 million marks were actually wool from sheep.

After this toss-up, the whole of the Combined Fleet, except for a little expectation of a military rank promotion, has long been uninterested--they know how low the domestic rewards, rewards, and pensions are. So King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong attacked this fiercely. Now he doesn't know that Horiyoshi has an earth-shattering reform proposal in his hand, he just reports what he heard and saw, and he believes that it is impossible for Hirohito not to know, what he wants to do is to add fuel to the fire.

In his words, the reward won from Germany and Italy is not impossible to want, but should first be handed over to the Military Command Department or the Ministry of the Navy and then handed over. But Hori knew what kind of virtue these bureaucrats were, and if they really put 400 million marks in their hands, the combined fleet would be thankful that they could get 100 million. Rather than that, it is better to directly send it away, use it, and reward it, and Germany's favor will be immediately visible -- he does not believe that the Military Command Department dares to take back the reward that has been issued in the face of the world's condemnation, and that would really be a frying pan.

Hirohito's face was very calm, and he didn't have much dissatisfaction, so he just said lightly: "Is that so?" I already know that talents are rare, so don't take these little things to heart, will my imperial army still betray me? You have to be sincere and united, don't go online on the platform for some small things, Horiyoshi is still deferential to me, and besides, you also received the car...... All German officers have cars, so can't my officers drive cars? ”

"But, Your Majesty......"

"Okay, okay, remind him through appropriate channels in the future, be considerate of your subordinates, and pay attention to ways and means, the navy is so big, you can't be too favoritistic."

Just when King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong failed to sue and retreated from the palace, Horikichi took out the second report and handed it to Yamamoto Fifty-six, sighing as he gave it: "You don't even agree with the first report, and you won't agree with the second one." ”

"You are wrong, I agree with what you said, the key is to wait for the opportunity, take your time, and rush will only get half the result." Yamamoto Fifty-six glanced at the second report, and immediately flipped through it quickly, unconsciously reading the voice as he read it, "...... With regard to the proposal for ending the war as soon as possible and making peace with the United States, the minister thought it was ......"

In the second report, Horikichi put forward the Axis's overall vision for the United States to make peace: in his view, although the United States has suffered successive blows, its strength has not been fundamentally harmed, and if the situation of German reunification of Europe is formed, the United States will concentrate all its forces in the Pacific region, Japan will be difficult to parry, and must take advantage of the current favorable situation to quickly achieve peace.

Condition 1: The situation in China is restored to before the July 7 Incident, Japan north of the Yangtze River has priority economic rights, and South America has priority rights;

Condition 2: The United States recognizes the situation of Germany and Italy in Africa and Europe, recognizes Japan's control of India and Southeast Asia, and recognizes the United States' control of the Western Hemisphere and Australia and New Zealand; South Africa maintains neutrality,

Condition 3: Establish a military system and balance of power among the great powers, that is, the European bloc led by Germany, the Asian bloc led by Japan, and the American bloc led by the United States...... (To be continued.) )
