In the early morning, when the sky was bright, and the longest night of mutiny had finally passed, one after another Comet and Zero War had taken off from the deck, carrying paper bullets -- all from the printing house and the newspaper office overnight

In the base camp, Ishihara Wan'er stared at the blood-red eyes, busy all night, last night, on the one hand, he had to coordinate the work of the Guards Division to send troops, on the other hand, he had to keep in touch with King Minoru Higashiku of Higashikure Palace at any time, and at the same time he had to implement Hirohito's instructions to prepare for suppression, and also to find a way to rescue King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong who was trapped in the hospital and his fate was unknown, but he found that he didn't know how to start all this

"Fushimi Palace doesn't need to be saved, he's finished......" Shimomura walked in, his face gloomy, but his tone was gloating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's going on?"

"Just look at that." He handed the number in his hand to Ishihara.

Ishihara glanced at it roughly, and suddenly was shocked and took the case: "How did you come here?" ”

"Navy bombers visited the city of Tokyo in the early morning, and you didn't hear a sound?" Shimomura looked at him strangely, "Tokyo is all over the city, and now the radio station and mobile tweeters are all broadcasting this, don't you feel it?" ”

"Oh...... It seems to be, but I'm busy talking to His Highness on the phone, so I really didn't pay attention. Ishihara pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, he found that what Shimomura said was true.

"I thought they were going to bomb, and we were in a hurry, but who knew that all the pieces of paper were thrown down." Shimomura smiled bitterly, "Now everyone is watching, but many people think that this is a dog-eat-dog inside the navy, and it doesn't hurt to see it, so it's a joke, so ......"

"If the news is true, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong died ten times and was innocent." Ishihara flicked the newspaper, "Look at it, there are ten major crimes listed in one go: ...... Bullying the king, colluding with generals, embezzlement and bribery, malpractice, framing generals, conspiring and rebelling, and colluding with foreign ......"

"The corruption of the royal family is a major event that shakes the country's capital, you look at these pictures......" Shimomura Ding "tsk" and said, "They copied the mansion of King Bogong of Fushimi Palace, and took pictures of everything, the old guy usually enjoys it the most, and it is not a high-end British and American goods, and it has become a crime......

"Ruthless!" Ishihara suddenly recalled, "I said why did he accept the loss of Midway on his head against King Fushimi Palace Hiroko, it turns out that the foreshadowing is here, isn't this a crime of bullying that can't be run away?" ”

"And the Midway victory!" Muto Akira interjected, "Tian shameless Navy Red Deer deceived the people and Your Majesty!" Even if you lie to them, even the army will lie! ”

"yes, I can't even defend myself now." Shimomura Ding suddenly smiled, "But it's okay if the navy lifts the lid, Tojo's senior soldiers can't run......"

"I'll see." Ishihara read the report carefully, "It seems that Horikichi knows about this, so he won't let Tojo go, and it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." There are troubles, though. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"The gendarmes were originally obligated to collect these leaflets, but now that they are directly aiming their fire at Tojo, do they dare to order them to collect them nakedly? Isn't it more of a desire to cover up? Ishihara sighed, "Playing against Horikichi, to tell the truth, I don't have any bottom at all, I'm much more tired than fighting, and I fell into the road without carelessness." ”

The phone rang suddenly, and it was King Minoru Higashikure who called: "Have you read the newspaper?" ”

"Looked."

The other party opened his mouth weakly: "The palace and the imperial palace have also received it, Your Majesty is thunderous and angry!" ”

"Angry scolding Horikichi to uncover the black?"

"No, scolding Fushimi Palace for misbehaving, causing so much right and wrong, and giving the mutinous soldiers the truth."

"Hey, this tone is not right...... Ishihara Wan'er said in surprise, "Your Majesty shouted at Hori Yoshi last night, and today your temperament has changed?" Ready for a peaceful settlement? ”

"......No," Minoru Higashikunomiya was deeply distressed, "The commander of the combined fleet and Kawakoshiro have been ordered to send troops to Tokyo in a few days, and His Majesty has no intention of stopping, and he also asks the Guards Division to immediately quell the rebellion, at least not to let the rebel army be so arrogant." ”

"Why is that?"

"If something like this happens in Fushimi Palace, shouldn't it be Horiki Yoshi's report and be punished by me? How can such a drastic way be used in mutiny? Isn't this persecution, bullying other government agencies, and inciting civil unrest? What is the use of the power of the curtain for him, is it for him to force the palace? King Minoru Higashikunomiya retold it in a vivid imitation of Hirohito's tone.

"This is a bit unreasonable, is it useful for Horiyoshi to report it?" Ishihara sneered, "The big horn personnel will know about it at that time, will you touch the nail again?" If Horikichi is so stupid, can he still lead the combined fleet to victory? What a fool must the opponent he defeated be! ”

"Yes, I persuaded Your Majesty to go down the slope and get off the donkey, but my mouth was dry, I just couldn't listen to it, and I was bent on uniting the fleet and the army to quell the rebellion! Say that this precedent is not allowed! Minoru Higashi's tone was heavy at first, but he immediately relaxed again, and whispered, "You're still moving quite fast, so quickly talk to Horikichi?" Hideki Tojo has been suspended and is waiting to be dealt with! ”

"I'm ......," Ishihara thought to himself, I hadn't mentioned it to Horikichi yet.

"Well done!" King Minoruhiko of Higashikure Palace smiled, "Add more fire, and let this dog thing seppuku be counted." ”

Ishihara Waner thought to himself: This is most likely because Fushimi Palace and Tojo Hideki are connected to the palace and don't know about it, so he will be angry, not so much because he was exposed by Horikichi, but because Hirohito began to panic about his subordinates to empty him. However, he still advised: "Your Highness must be cautious in your words and deeds, and must not show a gloating expression, otherwise you will ......"

"Well, Your Majesty asked Seishiro Itagaki to temporarily take charge of the military police, and the fool Mototo wanted to intervene, but His Majesty disagreed."

"Your Highness, you have been fooled." Ishihara suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why? Isn't Seishiro Itagaki your friend? Wouldn't it be more advantageous for him to control the gendarmes? ”

"Your Highness......" Ishihara was anxious, "You have to look at the time and occasion, of course, you can't ask for it, but when is it now?" Now that the rebel army has taken control of the radio, telegraph, and newspaper systems, we can't make any noise, and the gendarmes have a very heavy responsibility, and if there are clashes and casualties, how will they end up in the future? ”

"That's right, I'm confused! Hey, I haven't slept all night, and my brain has become less awake. King Minoru Higashikurenomiya patted his head indignantly, "What now?" Let Itagaki resign? ”

"That's not good, Your Majesty will think that we have two hearts, I will communicate with Itagaki once, get to the bottom of him, and let him not be impulsive, with the little gendarme in his hand, how can he beat the Marine Brigade armed to the teeth?"

"Is this the rhythm that forces us to go to war with the rebels?" King Minoru of Higashikure Palace scolded hatefully, "The counterinsurgency plan will be deployed in a while, you first take a piece of paper and let Tanaka Shinichi implement it." Be careful, be safe, don't rush in, and don't ruin Tokyo. ”

Even if Ishihara was reluctant, he could only agree.

"Sir, overhear the Army's phone call......"

After reading the transcript of the conversation, Horiyoshi and the others smiled even more: in fact, the rebel army had taken control of the telephone bureau, but the telephone lines of the Imperial Palace, army agencies, and major government agencies had not been cut off, and they were still allowed to operate normally. There are people in the gendarmerie who understand this, but now that Tojo has become a direct target, the gendarmes are panicking, who knows this? And the Army's people who know wartime communications did not expect that there was such a thing as eavesdropping, so the information is now unilaterally unblocked.

Of course, it is not necessarily easy for the army to shoot telegrams, because the rebel army is not an outsider, and has a good understanding of the army's cipher system, and even intercepts all kinds of information telegrams sent from the palace, and knows everything about it. The reason why the Military Command Department and the Ministry of the Navy were captured in the first place was to gain the commanding heights in this regard. However, the navy, especially Horikikishi, did not have this problem, because they had a second set of cipher systems -- the Combined Fleet used another cipher system in coordination with the German side during their time in Europe, and now it happened to be used, and the army did not know about it at all, and if it was intercepted, it could only stare dryly. And the most important and critical core orders are handwritten by Horiyoshi and manually transmitted by the Marine Corps using jeeps, which is not too inefficient.

As to the question of why the 226 Mutiny failed and how to succeed, Chiaki Matsuda has made great efforts to study it. The first conclusion is to control public opinion, and after listening to the Voice of Europe in Europe, I am even more determined to make this judgment. During the 226 Mutiny, although the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level repeatedly believed that there were bad people around the emperor and killed many people, the people did not know about it, and then the mutinous troops were quickly overwhelmed by the assembled broadcasts, leaflets, and sounding balloon banners, until Hirohito's conclusion about "national thieves" collapsed.

Now the situation is completely reversed, the rebel army controls the entire newspaper, radio and telegraph system, and in the era when there is no Internet or even a television network, controlling these is equivalent to controlling all the channels that can disseminate information to the outside world, and now the army and the people are completely suppressed by the rebel army's public opinion offensive, and this morning's paper bullets are just a small test, and there will be a steady stream of killer moves to follow.

In the words of Chiaki Matsuda: "The thief of Fushimi Palace must not only be completely defeated, but also step on 10,000 feet on him, so that his reputation will be ruined and he will never be able to turn over!" ”

In the early morning, the Guards Division, which had completed the mobilization, finally began substantive contact with the rebel army, and relying on the advantage of its own troops, it vaguely formed a situation of encirclement, but Horiyoshi was not worried, in terms of equipment, combat effectiveness, and cohesion, the Marine Brigade completely overwhelmed the Guards Division, and the carefully concocted second round of public opinion was about to begin......
