86_86661 In the Imperial Palace of Japan, after General Ito Yuhiro finished reporting on the situation of the Japanese army on the Russian battlefield, Ito Yuheng said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our Imperial Army of Japan has achieved outstanding results in more than a year of fighting in Russia, and our battle of honor will soon be victorious."

Prime Minister Katsura Taro, who was standing on the sidelines, said with a worried face: "We have invested nearly 2 billion yuan in this war, and the economic pressure in our country is very great. I think we need to adjust our strategy for Hainan, China, because it's a fertile land, their economy is developing rapidly, it's a big piece of fat, and it's very tempting for us. β
Ito Yuhiro listened to Katsura Taro's words, and suddenly, a little angry, said: "Prime Minister Katsura Taro, I think that if the glory of our empire is reduced to the point that we need a woman to fight in the team, then it will be a great shame for us as soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire!"
How did you persuade Mr. Hirobumi Ito to intimidate my daughter into an assassination mission without my knowledge, and you are a little too much as the Prime Minister of the Empire! β
Katsura Taro was overwhelmed by Ito's sudden questioning, and Emperor Meiji smiled and said, "General Ito, this is a misunderstanding, Mr. Ito Hirobumi mentioned this in front of me, and it is said that Michiko has always been very fond of that Admiral Chen Fangzheng of the Hainan Fleet, because of this special relationship, so they will make this decision." You also know that the King of Hainan is simply like a devil, and he can't be approached at all. β
Ito said, "I would like to ask, Mr. Prime Minister, why did you send someone to assassinate Michiko after the mission failed?" β
Katsura Taro said in a panic: "General, you have misunderstood, it must be that the people below have misunderstood my order." I asked them to go and get Michiko back, because Chen Fangzheng and the others have already discovered Michiko's identity, and I'm worried that they will poison Michiko. Moreover, the general's family has made a remarkable contribution to our Empire of Japan, and your son Xiang Shanjun has also sacrificed his life for the Empire of Japan. I'm sorry, General, it was all my mistake, I beg your pardon! β
"Okay, Mr. Katsura Taro, I don't want this to happen next time!" Ito walked away angrily.
Emperor Meiji was a little unhappy and said: "Katsura Taro, are you a little too much, General Ito Yuhiro has established immortal feats for our Japanese Empire, and he has a very high prestige in the army and among the people, please be cautious about this matter!" β
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!" Only then did Katsura Taro feel that he had made a very wrong decision, and he couldn't afford to mess with this Ito Yuhyung.
General Ito Yuhiro enjoys a high reputation in the world. In 1894, during the Sino-Japanese War, he served as commander of the Combined Fleet with the rank of vice admiral, and after the war, he was made a viscount and promoted to the head of the naval order.
During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as chief of staff of the naval staff of the base camp and was later made an earl. Awarded the title of Admiral.
He joined the Navy in the early years of the Meiji era, and served as the commander of the "Naniwa", the commander of the standing small fleet, the director of the First Bureau of the Naval Command Department, and the president of the Naval University.
During the Sino-Japanese War, he was promoted to lieutenant general and served as the first commander of the Combined Fleet. The ancestor was the Ito clan, the lord of the Obi domain. Family emblem hermitage papaya. Father Yunori Ito, a member of the Satsuma Domain. Ito Yuhiro was originally named Konjiro, then changed his name to Shiro Uemon, then changed his name to Shiro, and finally changed his name to Yuhiro.
Interested in the navy since childhood, he studied artillery at Hideryu Egawa's school, and then entered the Kobe Naval Training Institute in Katsunafune, where he studied navigation with Ryoma Sakamoto and Mutsu Munemitsu. Served in the army during the Sath-British War. Participated in the Boshin War.
After the Meiji Restoration, he joined the navy, and in Meiji 27, the Japanese Imperial Council decided to start a war against China, and according to the plan proposed by Yamamoto Gonbei Daisa, the chief of the military command department, the garrison fleet and the standing fleet, which had been renamed the "West Sea Fleet", were formed into a "joint fleet".
This was the first time that the Japanese Navy had formed a combined fleet, with Vice Admiral Ito Sukehiro as the first commander, and was preparing to participate in the Sino-Japanese War.
After China and Japan formally declared war on each other, Ito actively sought a decisive battle with the Chinese navy in order to seize sea supremacy, in accordance with the "general operational policy" of the base camp.
In the end, in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the Japanese combined fleet led by Ito Yuhiro completely annihilated the Beiyang Naval Division and completely crushed the naval power of the Qing court.
Over the years, Ito has gradually lost confidence in domestic politics and has already had the idea of quitting the political scene, and he has begun to get tired of these immoral wars.
Ito Yuhiro summoned Kiyohei Inada and appointed Kiyohei Inada as the general's envoy, and he personally wrote a letter for him to hand over to the king of Hainan, and instructed him to bring back his daughter Michiko.
Kiyohei Inada, 26 years old, is currently serving as an operational staff officer of the Navy's Command Department with the rank of Daisa.
Kiyohei Inada's family and Ito Yuhiro's family are sixth-generation friends, and Kiyohei Inada and Michiko can be described as childhood sweethearts. Later, Ito's family moved to Edo, and they separated.
By the time Kiyohei Inada went to Edo to study at a military school, Michiko and Ito had already gone to England to study. But Kiyohei Inada has always missed Michiko and hopes to see her one day.
So, after graduating from Kiyohei Inada, he approached Ito Yuhiro to get a position in the Admiralty. However, when Michiko saw Inada Kiyohei again after returning to China, she no longer had that kind of emotion, and she had a Chen Fangzheng in her heart, and she could no longer tolerate Inada Kiyohei, who had been separated for more than ten years.
Inada Kiyohei is particularly distressed by Michiko's change, he finds Michiko, tells him that his thoughts about Michiko have not changed in the years since they separated, and begs Michiko to give him another chance.
Michiko said: "Kiyohei-kun, that was all when I was a child, please don't waste your youth for me, Michiko's heart already belongs, and she won't tolerate others anymore." β
When Inada Kiyohei learned that the lover Michiko said was Chen Fangzheng who was far away in China, he never gave up his pursuit of Michiko, and he repeatedly persuaded Michiko: "Michiko, don't wait any longer for that hope that will never be possible, the cherry blossom season is extremely short, don't miss this beautiful flowering period because of a hopeless result." β
Although Michiko is sad, she firmly believes that the hopeless wait will definitely turn into a splendid cherry tree in the near future.
Kiyohei Inada was particularly excited after receiving the mission to Hainan, and he would soon meet Michiko, who would personally take Michiko back to Japan. Kiyohei Inada is going to tell Michiko that the cherry blossoms in Edo are already in full bloom.
