At the end of the meeting, Yamamoto successfully obtained the authorization of Emperor Hirohito, and from now on, he began to plan to secretly train the navy in preparation for a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

He walked out proudly, while the others had their own hearts, and the expressions on their faces were different.

There is loss, there is excitement, there is grudge, there is anxiety, there is confusion, and there is fear......

All kinds of life are displayed on their faces one by one.

Prince Zaihito and Prince Masahiko Asakanomiya walked last, both of them were generals of the army, and after this meeting, the army was silent, and of course their mood was not very good.

"Prince Zairen, is it possible that we really want to give up the mainland? Is it true that you have to give up Okamura Ninji? ”

Walking silently all the way, after walking out of the palace, Prince Mahiko of Asaka Palace finally couldn't help it and asked out loud.

At the meeting, everyone had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the affairs of the mainland, let alone the affairs of Okamura Ningji.

After all, Okamura Ningji and the Central China Front are no longer saved, and there is no point in mentioning them, and if it is brought up, the matter will fall on his head in the end, once Okamura Ningji is really dead, maybe they will have to bear the black cauldron, who dares to take this responsibility? Who would dare to keep bringing it up?

At the meeting, Prince Mahiko felt the atmosphere, and he didn't dare to say it.

But when it came time to come out, he finally couldn't help it.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Prince Zaihito sighed, looked at Prince Mahiko, and said in a muffled voice: "Mahiko, we can't interfere in the mainland!" Even if you want to intervene, you don't have the ability to do it! ”

"But I'm not reconciled! I'm just unwilling! Prince Mahiko said with some irritability: "How much effort, countless hard work is ruined like this, how can I be willing?!" ”

"What if you are unwilling? Could it be that you are still planning to go to the mainland in person! Mahiko, wake up! The empire is not what it used to be! Our empire is already going downhill! We don't have the extra resources to tilt to the mainland! ”

Hearing Prince Mahiko's unwilling words, Prince Zaihito's words were also much harsher, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are unwilling, how can I be willing?" But what if you are not reconciled? Who can really turn the tide and save the situation on the mainland? If it can really be saved, how can Your Majesty have no choice but to change the direction of the war? The goal of the Empire's efforts for generations has been changed here by His Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will be willing? He was not willing either! ”

"No one is reconciled!"

"But we have no other way, we have no choice!" Prince Jaehito's eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice, "Mahiko, do you understand?!" ”

"I ...... I ......"

In the face of Prince Jaehito's harsh words, Prince Mahiko's lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Prince Zairen looked at him sharply, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

"I ...... I understand! ”

After a long time, in the end, he bowed his head and admitted this fact.

"Mahiko, I hope you can understand one thing!" Looking at Mahiko's depressed expression, Zairen's face also softened, and he said with emotion: "Don't look at us all in high positions, but there is an ancient saying of the people of China that 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility' We bear huge rights At the same time, we also shoulder heavy responsibilities!" We can't be rash and do whatever we want to do for the sake of the Empire! ”

"Right now, the empire is in turmoil, Yamamoto ...... Yamamoto's proposal, although it was not good for our army, was ...... It is undeniable that this is the best path in our empire! ”

"This is also the final choice of our empire, and we have no other possibility than this choice!"

After finishing speaking, Prince Zaihito was about to leave, but before leaving, he still sighed, patted Mahiko on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okamura, Okamura Ninji's side...... You don't care, I'll take care of it! ”

"I'll see if I can get him evacuated, he is a very good officer, I want to find a way to transfer him out of the mainland and contribute to the Nanyang region in the future!"

"So be it! Don't be too unwilling, this is a foregone conclusion, it's not for you and I to change, I hope you don't get confused, you know? ”

"Hey!" Prince Mahiko said in a low voice, his mood was still a little low.

Seeing this scene, Jae-in couldn't help but sigh, he shook his head, and then left with some unknown emotions.

This meeting not only changed their strategic direction, but also changed the spirit of countless people, making countless people's minds inexplicably complicated.

Years of hard work have been ruined in this way, if you want to say that you are unwilling, that's for sure!

But, as Prince Zairen said before, this is the general trend, and it cannot be reversed by manpower!

For the sake of the empire, for the sake of the future, even if you are unwilling, you can only swallow it!

Even if it's a bitter fruit, you can only eat it yourself!

……

The content of this meeting, and publicized it with great fanfare, was restricted from being disseminated within a certain scope, and the scope of confidentiality of the content of the meeting was only known to those who attended the meeting, and the rest were also restricted, and outsiders did not know the real content of the meeting.

After all, at the meeting, Yamamoto Isoroku planned to attack Pearl Harbor, which was a big deal and must not be leaked out.

After the meeting, the people from the Ministry of War went back and held a special meeting, and their mood was not high, and they also talked about how the future development of the army should be.

This meeting lasted for most of the day, and in the end there was no way to explore it, and in the end it had to be stopped.

As for the Navy, it is different from the Army.

Yamamoto Isoroku was very happy to get the answer he wanted the most.

At the naval meeting held on the back, the mood of the admirals was also very high, although Inoue Narumi and Mitsumasa Yonechi at the time of the meeting were slightly dissenting, believing that it was not good for them to take the initiative to go to war with the United States, but under the questioning of Yamamoto Isoroku, they were speechless, and in the end they could not say anything.

In this way, the entire navy was quickly kneaded by Yamamoto Fifty-six and twisted into a rope.

After he set the training goals for the next navy, he set up several generals to be in charge of this time, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting.

After the meeting, Yamamoto Isoroku was about to go back to refine his plan for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and planned to hand it to Emperor Hirohito in a few days, but at this time, Prince Fushimi Miyahiro chased after him.
