Chapter 1075: Two telegrams
Seeing Shang Wen angrily, he said, "Who gave your majesty advice? This man should disembowel, he will put our nearly 100,000 imperial warriors in danger in an instant, once Korea is lost, our empire will be greatly injured, and there will be no more strength to fight! ”
Gentaro Kodama smiled bitterly: "This is a strategy set by His Majesty himself, Yamaguchi-kun and Yamamoto-kun have agreed, this air raid, even the imperial palace has been bombed, Prime Minister Ito was also injured, the situation is indeed critical......"
Lijian Shangwen shouted: "Confused, as long as we transfer some important industrial facilities and important institutions underground, we can't take down the planes, even if we bomb, it can only cause casualties among some civilians and destroy some civilian facilities, and we can't hurt the root at all, but if our 100,000 troops in North Korea make a mistake, it will shake the country's foundation!" That's 100,000 elites! Taiwan has already lost three divisions there, if it loses six divisions here, this is the elite of the empire, the military strength of the empire will be dealt a fatal blow, once a foreign enemy invades the mainland, where will we have the strength to fight back? ”
Gentaro Kodama smiled bitterly.
Immediately saw that Shangwen continued: "Also, even if the main force of the fleet is mobilized to return to Tokyo Bay, it will be able to block other people's planes? As long as the other people's fleet distances from our combined fleet and the planes take off, then our fleet will only be beaten, you know, there are more than ten planes dispatched to bomb the Gulf of Tonkin, which is enough to bring a deadly threat to my warships, and one battleship has invested millions of silver in the empire! This is self-defeating! ”
At this moment, Kodama Gentaro was shocked and asked, "Izami-kun, do these planes really have such great power?" ”
Lijian Shangwen sighed and replied: "Kodama, although planes can't decide the outcome of the entire war, they don't have any natural enemies, until now, there is no weapon in the world that is enough to give it a deadly threat, high up, can attack all military targets, this is simply a real killing weapon!" What is our fleet going to defend against people? ”
Gentaro Kodama was shocked: "Tachimi-kun, then what should we do next?" ”
Lijian Shangwen said helplessly: "Write a letter, immediately send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, asking His Majesty the Emperor to stop the mobilization of the combined fleet and continue to increase troops towards Korea, so as to maintain the absolute superiority of our empire over the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the three eastern provinces!" Only if it poses a fatal threat to the three eastern provinces, Zhang Yi will transfer the Huaxia Navy fleet back to the mainland, which is the best policy! ”
Gentaro Kodama immediately replied: "Okay, Izami-kun, I listen to you, I immediately call the military headquarters and ask for a change of order!" ”
Tachimi said abruptly: "Okay, in that case, I will also call His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Ito, asking them to think twice!" ”
Soon, two telegrams were sent from North Korea to Tokyo, Japan. 80 eBook/
Today, the Meiji Emperor has also entered the concrete fortifications of the military headquarters for safety reasons, and has begun to work in the military headquarters, and all the ministers of military affairs have come to the military headquarters, which has become the real center of Japan.
Emperor Meiji's face was gloomy, and he asked Yamagutama Aritomo, "Yamaguchi Aritomo, has Gentaro Kodama replied now?" ”
Youpeng replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no news for the time being." ”
Emperor Meiji snorted coldly and said, "This Kodama is a general who was discovered and promoted by Naowen immediately, can he do it?" ”
Shan County Youpeng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although I see that Shangwen is a maverick, but he still has talent and vision, and the military reform he has presided over in recent years has made great progress in the Imperial Army, especially the generals he promoted, each of them is the best talent in the Imperial Army, and Kodama Gentaro is one of the leaders, and he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Emperor Meiji's face softened slightly, and he said: "Well, I hope so, by now, the old generals in our imperial army have withered away, and we can only rely on these young generals." ”
While everyone was discussing the situation of the war, a confidential staff officer hurriedly walked in, bowed to Emperor Meiji and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Commander-in-Chief, General Gentaro Kodama of North Korea will call back......"
Emperor Meiji looked at him with a hesitant look and asked, "What, is there something else?" ”
The confidential staff officer replied, "Your Majesty, at the same time as the telegram from General Gentaro Kodama was sent by General Naofumi from General Tachimi, asking me to present it to His Majesty and Prime Minister Ito in person. ”
Emperor Meiji's face changed, and he secretly said in his heart, what is this Immediately Jiansangwen doing? Until now, I don't know what his figure is doing?
Emperor Meiji said in a deep voice: "Read! ”
The confidential staff officer picked up Kodama Gentaro's telegram and read: "To His Majesty the Emperor Wan An: I received the telegram before, and I was terrified, now that the Korean army is insufficient, and Zhang Yi of the Republic of China has mobilized heavy troops to return to the three eastern provinces, and the military forces of the two sides tend to be balanced, it is really unwise to attack the three eastern provinces at this time, and I still ask Your Majesty to give a few days of grace, and after the Pusan army gathers in Sinuiju, then launch an attack. For the sake of the wise, please think twice and continue to increase the number of troops in Korea......"
Before the confidential staff officer finished reading the message, Emperor Meiji couldn't bear it anymore, and he was presumptuous, Kodama Gentaro, who even accused me like this, it was this opinion that Shangwen was stirring up trouble in the middle, it was really damned!
Emperor Meiji shouted, "Don't read it, give me the telegram from Naobun Tachimi!" ”
The confidential staff officer did not dare to slack off and hurriedly handed a telegram from Naofumi to Emperor Meiji: "Letter to Your Majesty: Your Majesty's transfer of the Combined Fleet back to the aid of Tokyo Bay is really the next policy, and the Combined Fleet has no resistance to the aircraft formation, and can only increase the fleet losses out of thin air; Second, once the combined fleet stops increasing troops in Korea, the empire will not have enough troops in Korea, and if the Republic of China mobilizes heavy troops to besiege it, the army will be in danger! Please change your Majesty's ways, find another good plan, uneasy, the foundation created by the empire for decades will be in danger of overturning! ”
"Smack!"
Emperor Meiji slammed the telegram to the ground and roared: "Immediately see Naowen, you bastard, you dare to insult me, it's really damned, damned!" ”
Emperor Meiji was furious, Ito Hirobumi and Yama Prefecture Aritomo on the side hurriedly took the two telegrams, watched carefully, and after reading them, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Emperor Meiji shouted: "Call back Kodama Gentaro immediately, the plan remains the same, troops must be sent tomorrow, and if the order is violated, be dismissed on the spot!" Ordered, immediately saw that Naowen defied the emperor and was executed! ”
