After spurting out a mouthful of blood from the sky, Hirohito fell backwards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mitsumasa Yonechi and Toshiki Terauchi were stunned and didn't react there, but Hideki Tojo reacted very quickly, and rushed forward with an arrow to hug Hirohito, who didn't fall heavily on the floor, but Hideki Tojo looked down again, but found that Hirohito had already fainted with a face like gold paper.

It's a bad thing, two faints in two days, which is not a good sign.

"Imperial Doctor!" Hideki Tojo immediately turned his head and shouted, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

A moment later, two imperial physicians arrived in a hurry, and Hirohito was carried into the dormitory.

As the three originators of Hirohito's fainting, Terauchi Shouyi, Tojo Hideki and Yonechi Mitsumasa did not dare to leave, but just stayed outside Hirohito's dormitory, constantly wandering, and constantly sighing.

Soon after, the Empress Dowager Zhenming arrived when she heard the news and reprimanded the three of them in the temple.

The three of them were so red that they were trained by the Empress Dowager Zhenming, and they didn't even dare to have a word of justification.

Fortunately, after the emergency rescue of the imperial doctor, Hirohito finally woke up, and according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Hirohito's body should be fine, and this fainting is just a rapid attack, and he only needs to recuperate for a period of time, and his body can fully recover as before, at least there is no danger of repeating the mistakes of the previous emperor.

However, the first thing Hirohito did after waking up was to summon Eizo Tojo and three other ministers again.

The Empress Dowager Zhenming persuaded her in every possible way, and Hirohito insisted on summoning her, but there was no way, the Empress Dowager Zhenming could only agree, but before Tojo Hideki and the other three entered the meeting, she still personally came forward to warn the three of them, and asked the three of them to pay attention to what they said, and not to mention those people and things that can stimulate Hirohito.

Hideki Tojo and the three of them only responded, but they were complaining in their hearts, not mentioning those people and things that could stimulate His Majesty the Emperor, how could this be possible?

With a stomach full of sorrow, the three of Tojo entered Hirohito's bedroom.

After entering the dormitory, Tojo Hideki and the three of them saw Hirohito lying on his back on the couch, the look on his face was much better than just now, at least a touch of blood, but the whole person's spirit was still very sluggish, and he looked sad, but a pair of eyes looked quite bright.

"Your Majesty!" Hideki Tojo and the three of them immediately saw the salute.

"Excuse me." Hirohito waved his hand weakly and motioned for the three of them to take their seats.

Hideki Tojo and the three of them walked to the tatami mat in front of the imperial couch and knelt down in turn.

"It's the same thing as before." Hirohito sighed and said, "About the Third Fleet." ”

"Hello!" Mitsumasa Yonechi, Shouichi Terauchi, and Hideki Tojo all bowed their heads together, and this time they didn't dare to pass the buck to each other anymore.

Hirohito took a breath and continued: "Fujimori-kun's farewell telegram mentioned that eight warships including the Yuzhao had sent a signal for help, and it was confirmed that only five warships had sunk, plus only six of the Kaga, and there were nine warships left, especially the Izumo, Kuma and Tenryu, which directly attacked the Kaga, were very likely to have fallen into Xu Rui's hands......"

At this, Hirohito felt a little tired and had to stop to take a breath.

"Hello." Mitsumasa Yonechi immediately shook his head and said with a gloomy expression, "Our navy has disappointed Your Majesty, if there is no accident, most of the remaining nine warships have fallen into the control of the patrol camp, especially the Izumo, Kuma and Tenryu, which have definitely fallen into the hands of the cruiser." ”

"Your Majesty, our army is also responsible." After obtaining the consent of Terauchi Shouichi, Hideki Tojo bowed his head and said, "If it weren't for the negligence of the Nakamura agency and allowing the spies of the patrol camp to infiltrate the remnants of the Broadway building, this kind of thing would never have happened, so I ask His Majesty the Emperor to issue an order to severely punish those directly responsible." ”

After a pause, Hideki Tojo said, "The minister will also take the blame and resign......"

"Don't talk about this yet, it's not time to be held accountable." Hirohito waved his hand, and then said, "The top priority is how to deal with the aftermath, as for who should be responsible for this, and what punishment should be received, or wait for the final investigation report of this matter to come out, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty." Hideki Tojo and the three of them paused at the same time.

Hirohito also said: "The top priority is to find the nine warships that have lost contact as soon as possible, and then send out aviation to sink them, remember, the action must be as fast as possible, and these nine warships must be found and sunk before this matter completely spreads, otherwise, the face of the navy should be lost." ”

The Third Fleet is already humiliating enough for people to give a pot.

If Xu Rui was asked to capture the nine main warships, including the cruiser Izumo, and build a fleet with these nine warships, it would be even more humiliating! If this were to happen, the Japanese Navy would immediately become an international laughing stock, and it would never again raise its head in front of the British.

Therefore, the nine missing warships must be found immediately and sunk!

This is actually very humiliating, but at least it will not become an international laughing stock.

Of course, Hirohito actually still had the last trace of luck in his heart, feeling that the nine warships that had lost contact with him might not all be captured by the patrol camp, and perhaps a few warships were still under the control of the Japanese Navy, so it was even more necessary to send aviation troops as soon as possible, because in this way, they could provide them with air support in time.

However, Hirohito's luck was soon shattered by the cruel truth.

No sooner had Hirohito finished speaking than one of the guards hurriedly walked in and brought a telegram from the Central China Army.

It turned out that early this morning, the Central China Dispatch Army dispatched more than a dozen reconnaissance planes to conduct a carpet search of the Huangpu River, the Yangtze River channel near Wusongkou, and the surface of the East China Sea, but only found the Izumo cruiser near the 16th Putou, and the remaining eight missing warships were not found.

Because the cruiser Izumo was next to the cruiser Cincinnati of the US Navy, the Central China Squadron did not dare to send bombers to bomb it, for fear of accidentally damaging the cruiser Cincinnati, and if it really blew up the cruiser Cincinnati of the US Navy by mistake, it would trigger a full-scale war between Japan and the United States.

Now that Japan has started an all-out war with the Soviet Union, it can no longer afford the severe consequences of an all-out war with the United States.

The telegram from the Central China Dispatch was followed by a preliminary investigation of last night's naval battle from the Nakamura organ, which showed that last night's attack was probably the work of a patrol camp lurking inside the Broadway building, which attacked and sank most of the warships, and captured the cruisers Izumo, Kuma, and Tenryu, and with the help of these three cruisers, they attacked and sank the aircraft carrier Kaga.

In addition, the Nakamura agency also provided important information.

The warships of the Third Fleet were sunk in Wusongkou, and the cruisers Qiuma and Tianlong were also bombed and sunk in Wusongkou after dismantling their guns.

After reading the telegram, the four of them fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Hirohito said quietly: "Tojo-kun, please pull the curtain on the wall in front of you." ”

Tojo Hideki said yes, then got up and walked to the wall in front of the imperial couch, pulled the curtain covering the wall open, and after the curtain was opened, the eyes of the four monarchs and ministers fell on the wall at the same time, and then, Tojo Hideki, Terauchi Shouichi and Mitsumasa Yonechi were immediately stunned there, their faces were sluggish.

I saw rows of names written on the wall, and it turned out to be a list of deaths!

It is not accurate to say that it is a list of deaths, because many of the people on it are not actually dead, but for Hirohito and the entire Japanese Empire, it is better for them to die, well, this list is actually the list of Japanese generals folded in Xu Rui's hands, and it is arranged in chronological order.

Lieutenant General Toshihiko Fushimiya

Major General Yoshiharu Ozaki

Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama

Major General Chiaki Shigedo (captured)

Major General Yoshio Tachibana

Major General Shuichi Hamura

Major General Heiji Kawaguchi

Adachi Wing Tai Major General

Major General Tokutaro Sakai

Major General Mitsuru Ushijima

Major General Shojiro Iida

Major General Shozo Riverside

Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba (captured)

Major General Eiichi Kameda

Lieutenant General Yoshio Piggy

Major General Okada (captured)

Major General Kei Seya (captured)

Lieutenant General Ninji Okamura

Tian Jun's six generals (gas killing)

Gendai Sugiyama (suicide)

Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshizumi (captured)

Hideki Tojo had seen this list in Hirohito's study, but they didn't expect that Hirohito had someone copy it on the wall of his bedroom.

Looking at the list, Hirohito said quietly: "Tojo-kun, let's write the names of Mitsui Sadazo, Fujimori Seiichiro and Hasegawa Kiyoshi as well." ”

Hideki Tojo said, and added the names of three people such as Sadazo Mitsui to the back.

However, after writing Hasegawa Kiyoshi's name, Tojo Hideki asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hasegawa Kiyoshi is not sure that he was killed, do you want to indicate that he was captured?" ”

"Not." Hirohito said gloomily.

It is an indisputable fact that the cruiser Izumo was captured by the patrol camp, and the capture of Kiyoshi Hasegawa is also a high probability event, and it is very likely that he has defected, otherwise, who gave the order to let the Kaga aircraft carrier stay in the waters off Wusong and not move lightly? Seiichiro Fujimori made it clear that the voice he heard from the pager at the time was Hasegawa Kiyoshi's voice.

Hideki Tojo snapped and added the word "captured" after Hasegawa Kiyoshi's name.

Hirohito stared at the list for a moment, and suddenly said, "Tojo-kun, you say, will one day, my name also appear on this wall?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Hideki Tojo was startled, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground with a pop, and Terauchi Shouichi and Mitsumasa Yonechi were also shocked at each other, and then quickly pouted their buttocks and knelt down on the tatami mat tremblingly.
