Chapter 030: Halfway to Kill and Bite Gold
"You mean to say Hirohito faked his death?"
Wang Hanzhang nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten." β
"No, this guy won't be like this in order not to go to war, besides, if he dies alone, they can immediately let his prince succeed to the throne, and it won't affect the war against the Americas?"
Wang Hanzhang said: "I'm afraid this is just a brick-throwing jade, they must have a back-up move behind, let's wait and see!" β
"Your Majesty, we have already announced that you died at 11 p.m. on September 18 due to ineffective rescue."
Hirohito said: "What is the reaction from the outside?" β
"Nothing special, the Chinese do not have any doubts, they mourn this, the Americans, the French, the British have sent messages to express their condolences and so on."
Hirohito said: "That's good, I didn't expect the Chinese to be so easy to fool." β
"And what's next for us?"
"Go according to the plan, and don't tell the rest of the royal family that I'm not dead."
"It can be done, but there are always people at the funeral who come to mourn, they will say goodbye to the body, what about this, if you don't let people do it, it will arouse suspicion."
"This ...... It's easy to do, I'll just pretend to be dead and lie there and let them say goodbye, but don't let people get too close to me, lest they show their stuff. β
"Your Majesty, this won't work, I've been lying there for too long, I think it's better for me to try to find an immigration stand-in."
Hirohito said: "Then how to do it, where do you go to find a qualified substitute now, many members of the royal family have been with me for a long time, they must be able to easily find that the body is not me, when they go out, as long as they talk, it will be easy for the Chinese to find the problem, then this play we carefully directed will lose its effect, and the consequences will be incalculable." β
"But, Your Majesty......"
"Okay, Tojo-kun, don't say anything more, for the hegemony of the empire, how many Yamato men have thrown their heads and spilled their blood, what is it for me to just lie there?"
Seeing Hirohito's resolute attitude, Hideki Tojo said, "Okay then!" β
Hirohito's funeral was chosen on September 20, although it was in a hurry, but no one objected, in fact, they were also worried that there would be problems if they were placed for too long, Hirohito couldn't stand it, and others were easy to find problems after watching for a long time.
Hirohito's coffin was very large, covered with quilts and covered with satin, and Hirohito was lying in it for people to admire, and Hirohito couldn't go out on this day, and he couldn't go to the toilet, but fortunately he didn't need to stay long.
Hirohito ate early in the morning, but he didn't have any water, and at the same time he excreted cleanly, and asked people to put on makeup for him, and his face was defeated, and he died of excessive blood loss at first glance.
In order to avoid Hirohito from peeing, Hideki Tojo also drilled a hole in his pants and put something similar to a condom on Hirohito's cock, and the hose passed through the hole through the butt at the end of the end was a bottle, a bottle hidden inside the quilt vertically.
In this way, Hirohito only needs to pee directly, there will be no discomfort, and there is no need to hold urine, Hirohito praised Hideki Tojo for his thoughtfulness.
Regarding the situation that you will be hungry if you can't eat until you eat early in the morning, Hideki Tojo also made arrangements, and they prepared foods like jelly that contain water and don't taste dry or wet and hide them in the quilt next to Hirohito's head, so it can be said that all the mysteries are in the quilt, but no one will check these.
Hideki Tojo also told Hirohito that he would find the men at noon, when he and Yamamoto Isoroku would stay by his coffin, and that he could eat at this time, so he would not escape and worry about starving.
Hirohito was very satisfied with this, although he said that he would not die of hunger for a day, and he did not even have to be hungry for a day, but the weather in the southern hemisphere was still quite cold at this time, and it would be unbearable to lie there for a day, and it would be very uncomfortable if he did not eat again, and it would be a pleasure to eat at noon.
After explaining everything, Hirohito lay down in the coffin, at this time the members of the royal family and important ministers were put in for a farewell ceremony, and in the afternoon it was a farewell for foreign dignitaries.
In the evening everything went according to plan, there were no accidents, Hirohito was finally relieved, he should be buried tomorrow, but there was nothing to say goodbye to the body, and Hideki Tojo and Yamamoto Fifty-six would be personally present to guard it at night, and it was impossible for anyone to come in and open the coffin and do anything, so there were no surprises in these.
At night, everyone was gone, and only Hirohito's wife and Hideki Tojo and Yamamoto Fifty-six were in the palace.
"Your Majesty, they're all gone."
As soon as he heard his wife's voice, Hirohito opened his eyes, he rubbed his eyes, he could barely move this day, and he was now sore.
On this day, he can be said to be bored to death, lying there and unable to sleep, otherwise he will be found snoring.
Hirohito stretched his waist and said, "It's finally done!" β
Hideki Tojo said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, it's hard work. β
"How did the Chinese react?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, at least neither I nor Yamamoto see it."
"What about the ambassadors of other countries?"
"There hasn't been much performance, I think we've achieved what we wanted."
Hirohito nodded, "Then tomorrow you will discuss the question of who will inherit the Great Unification, and try to let the world know about it." β
"Good!"
The Chinese ambassador soon sent back to Beijing what he had seen with Hirohito.
Wang Hanzhang looked at the telegram sent back by the Chinese ambassador to Japan, which said that Hirohito's face was pale, as if he had lost too much blood, and that the body was placed in a coffin, which resembled a Chinese folk funeral, and that the coffin was covered with a quilt and silk......
In addition, in the morning, it is the farewell of the emperor's relatives and the Japanese military and political ministers, and in the afternoon, it is the farewell ceremony for the remains of foreigners and Japanese non-governmental organizations.
Wang Hanzhang looked at the telegram, and thought about it for two hours and didn't come up with anything, maybe he had to go in person to find something, but it was too late to go now, Hirohito would be buried tomorrow, and Wang Hanzhang didn't plan to go to Japan, what if he killed himself one day.
"The face is pale, the face is pale, the face is pale, by the way," Wang Hanzhang patted his thigh, like an ordinary folk family, after the dead, the corpse must be groomed, so that the dead can go to Huangquan Road beautifully, Hirohito is also the emperor no matter how he says, and ordinary people are not bad for money, not to mention Japan, Hirohito is their emperor.
It can be seen that the Japanese are too smart, and even if Hirohito dies of excessive blood loss, he will definitely put on makeup and his face will be ruddy and shiny.
In addition, during this time at noon, Hirohito can not lie there at all, he can move freely, of course, Wang Hanzhang thinks that he is only there for half a day, he can eat in the morning, excrete cleanly and lie there, and he can get up and eat at night when people are gone, and few people can't do it.
Wang Hanzhang finally determined that Hirohito was not dead based on various performances of Japan and Hirohito, and there must be a big conspiracy behind Japan, for example, the Japanese saw that China might not be able to win at the moment, so they were unwilling to send troops to South America, and the nuclear bombs of the Americans were thrown on their heads, and now they could sit and wait for the tiger to fight, and then profit from it, and whoever failed they would tear off a piece of meat from whom.
At present, Wang Hanzhang is thinking about how to defeat the United States, although China's first atomic bomb will be tested in a month, but even if China has an atomic bomb, he does not want to use it, because the atomic bomb will cause too much damage to the earth.
On September 19, a battle for the throne broke out in Japan, with some supporting Hirohito's eldest son and some supporting Hirohito's youngest son, one born in 1933 and the other in 35.
Originally, it was generally the eldest son, but the opponents said that the eldest son Akihito had polio, which was not good, and the Japanese emperor should let the young son who was in good health succeed to the throne, and they also put forward supporting evidence that Hirohito also intended to let the younger son succeed to the throne.
If Hirohito has a crush on Akihito and intends to pass on the throne to him, then why is Akihito already 13 years old, but he has not been made the crown prince.
The war of words between the two sides was not lively, and some Japanese people who did not know why began to split at the signal of some people, and the army was divided into two factions.
At this time, Hirohito's fourth brother, 31-year-old Prince Takahito Mikasa, stood up and believed that the current world situation was in a mess, and Japan might not be able to stand alone, so it was better to have an adult man succeed the emperor first, and then appoint one of Emperor Hirohito's sons as the crown prince, so that the problem of inheritance could be solved, and the practical problem could be solved, and the Japanese people did not have to worry that in case of war, the little emperor would not be able to control the situation.
Some military and political officials who did not know the inside story agreed to do so, and soon Hirohito's three younger brothers were retired, and the most vocal was Prince Takahito Mikasanomiya.
When he was young, he was called Cheng Palace. Because of the big age gap with several older brothers, he grew up in different palaces. Of the four brothers in 1921, the youngest was Mikasanomiya.
In 1936, he graduated from the 48th class of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and his teacher was the famous Jackal Staff Officer Masanobu Tsuji. In 1935, he was awarded the title of Mikasa, and thereafter studied at the Narashino Cavalry School and the Army University. On October 22, 1941 (Showa 16), he married Yuriko, the second daughter of Viscount Takagi Masatori.
During World War II, it was in contact with the Cavalry Tactical Communications Command. In 1943, he served as a captain and staff officer at the Nanjing headquarters of the Japanese invasion of China, and was also a member of the Wang House of Lords and a member of the Japanese Imperial Council, but at that time, Japan withdrew from China and he returned to his homeland.
In 1944, he served in the Military Education Bureau, served as a staff officer of the base camp, an unofficial member of the "peace faction", and was associated with the forces opposing Hideki Tojo in the army, and had plotted a coup d'Γ©tat, assassinated Hideki Tojo, and appointed himself commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, but the coup was unsuccessful (Tsunoda Incident), and in September 1944, he was the deputy of the Army's armored major department, because of this incident, the emperor was very jealous of him, and asked him what his plans were when they met in April 1945.
At this time, he didn't know that Hirohito was not dead, and he had personally seen Hirohito pretending to be dead last time, and he didn't find any problems, he thought this was a very good opportunity for him, but for the sake of insurance, he didn't openly seize power.
