The dignified foreign minister of the Imperial Japanese Dynasty was assassinated in Harbin, and three high-ranking Japanese officers were killed, such a major event shocked the Japanese military police and secret services in Harbin, and at the same time as launching a city-wide search, Chapter 1139,

For a time, the leaders of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army gathered in Harbin, and the whole city was under martial law.

After Umezu Yoshijiro arrived in Harbin, he personally inspected the body of Matsuoka Yoyoshi and the warhead he had found, and designated Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi, commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, to be responsible for investigating the assassination case of Matsuoka Yoyo's encounter.

Umezu Mijiro sent another report to the base camp, confirming that Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yoyo and others had been assassinated.

Konoe Fumima chose Matsuoka Yoyo as foreign minister, not to mention Konoe's cronies, even Emperor Hirohito was not at ease, and once questioned Konoe Fumima, saying that if Matsuoka was the foreign minister, Japan "may fall into great difficulties and darkness." Are you prepared for this? However, Konoe still insisted on choosing Matsuoka Yoyo because Konoe's vision of a new international order was compatible with Matsuoka's foreign policy.

Matsuoka Yoyo does have a personality, and when he became Minister of Foreign Affairs, he straightforwardly asked Prime Minister Fumima Konoe for foreign policy-making power, and Fumima Konoe actually approved it.

This time, Matsuoka Yoyo was visiting Europe with great ambition and was bent on realizing his diplomatic idea of holding Germany and forcing the United States to dare not enter the war, but unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and Matsuoka Yoyou, a Japanese national hero who has the ability to open his mouth for 5,000 words, was shot and killed at Harbin Station!

To put it bluntly, Japanese politics is too chaotic. For example, Matsuoka Yoyo thought of such a big matter as the signing of the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union, and he did not discuss it at the Imperial Council in advance, because Konoe Fumima promised Matsuoka Yoyo that he had diplomatic decision-making powers, and Matsuoka Yoyoshi could act cheaply. Therefore, the fact that Matsuoka wanted to negotiate and sign the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" with the Soviet Union only existed in his mind at this time, and at most he only drew up a draft and put it in his pocket. It is precisely for this reason that at the same time as Matsuoka Yoyo set off on his journey, Japanese Ambassador to the United States Yoshizaburo Nomura also began to negotiate with the United States on the "Japan-US Understanding Bill" on the orders of Prime Minister Konoe.

Look at which one this little Japan is singing, the Navy's carrier-based aircraft have already begun simulated training for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the prime minister is still thinking about easing relations with the United States; Having just signed an alliance with Germany and Italy, and knowing that there were rumors that Soviet-German relations were deteriorating and could begin at any time, the foreign minister was thinking of negotiating a treaty of friendship and neutrality with the Soviet Union. They don't want to think that the reason why the United States agreed to negotiate with Japan on the "Japan-US understanding" is to divide the German-Italian-Japanese alliance. If the Soviet Union was willing to sign the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" with Japan, it was also to avoid fighting on two fronts. Who is the sandpiper and who is the fisherman, where can little Japan, which was blinded by the invasion **, tell the difference?

After receiving the telegram from Umezu Yojiro confirming the death of Matsuoka Yoyou, Konoe Fumima couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, because he already felt that Matsuoka Yoyo was more difficult to control, but Matsuoka Yoyo single-handedly promoted the German, Italian, and Japanese Triple Alliance, and at this time his prestige in Japan was high, so he didn't say much. Now that Matsuoka Yoyo is dead, Konoe suddenly feels a sense of loss. Therefore, he summoned the chief of the General Staff, Sugi Sugimoto, and the land minister, Hideki Tojo, to the office and severely reprimanded them, scolding the Kwantung Army for a group of rice buckets that could not even protect the foreign minister.

When Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace was the chief of the General Staff, it was so powerful that even Konoe Bunma couldn't do anything about him. Now that he has been replaced by Shanshan Yuan, he is not the opponent of Konoe Wenma, and he was stunned for a while.

After the reprimand, Fumimi Konoe pondered for a long time, and led Sugi Sugi Mototo and Hideki Tojo to request an urgent audience with His Majesty the Emperor and report to His Majesty the Emperor about the assassination of Yoyo Matsuoka.

Emperor Hirohito was not very interested in Matsuoka Yoyou, and after listening to the report, he said lightly: "So Matsuoka Aiqing really sacrificed his life for the country?" ”

"The commander of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro, has arrived in Harbin and personally examined the body of Foreign Minister Matsuoka. ”

Emperor Hirohito's tone was a little sad at this time: "Some time ago, the jade of the 17th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was broken, the jade of the 4th Brigade of the Cavalry was broken, the 29th Division was broken, the 36th Division and the 1st Tank Division were also broken, and now there is Matsuoka Aiqing who sacrificed his life for the country. My face, the face of the Great Japanese Empire, has been lost! At this time, I remembered that Matsuoka Aiqing used to say that Manmeng is the lifeline of Japan, and I still hear the words! Three Aiqing, you go down to study and come up with a practical plan for the future strategic direction of the empire. In any case, to make sure that there is no crisis in Manchukuo! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Hirohito said to Fumima Konoe: "Foreign countries bear great responsibility for the foreign policy of the country, and they cannot be interrupted for a single day. The prime minister wants to choose a new foreign minister as soon as possible, I wonder if there is a suitable candidate? ”

Konoe Fumima played: "Your Majesty, the minister intends to appoint Admiral Sadajiro Toyoda to the post of Foreign Minister, please judge Your Majesty!" ”

"Sadajiro Toyoda?" Emperor Hirohito asked a rhetorical question, then pondered for a while, and then replied, "Since the prime minister has made up his mind, let him meet him!" ”

At this moment, a glimmer flashed in the corner of Shanshan Yuan's eyes: "It seems that the Prime Minister is already ready to remove Matsuoka Yoyou!" ”

After the Emperor's summons, Fumima Konoe, Sugi Moto, and Hideki Tojo went to the base camp in a corner of the Imperial Palace, where they were to analyze the possible repercussions of Matsuoka Yoyo in various countries and take countermeasures.

Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army in Harbin, strictly ordered Lieutenant General Hiroshi Takeuchi, commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, to cast a wider net and make sure to catch the murderer and find out who shot Matsuoka Yoyou. Helplessly, the snipers of the Eighth Route Army used sniper rifles with silencers, and the people around Matsuoka Yang to the right when they fired were due to the distance from the saint? Nikolai's Cathedral was a little far away, and no gunshots were heard at all, and naturally it was impossible to tell where the bullets came from. Fortunately, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Takeuchi was a master, and from the direction where Matsuoka Yoyo and the other four people fell to the ground, he estimated the trajectory and judged clearly that the bullet came from the opposite side of the station. It's a pity that the special combat team and sniper team of the Eighth Route Army never leave bullet casings, and even the traces of the sniper position were destroyed when retreating. Repeated searches around and inside the Nicholas Church not only failed to catch the sniper who fired the shot, but also did not find a single bullet casing, let alone find the sniper of the Eighth Route Army in St. Nicholas. The sniper position under the bell of the bell tower of the Church of Nikolai.

Lieutenant General Takeuchi knew in his heart that he had come late, and the commander of the military police and the head of the special service in Harbin had all been martyred by Yoyo Matsuoka, and without the command of a master, the military police, spies, and Japanese troops in Harbin were just headless flies, and they failed to figure out the hidden location of the snipers in the most precious time, which affected the search and arrest. At this time, the hateful sniper may have already hidden, hiding in some unknown corner of Harbin, and may even have escaped from Harbin. You know, this Harbin is different from the traditional city of the Chinese, there is no city wall and city gate, and it is very convenient to enter and exit.

Lieutenant General Takeuchi could only direct the Japanese troops to set up a blockade line in the suburbs of Harbin and check suspicious people, and at the same time search the city door to door, arrest and strictly interrogate all suspicious people when they were found.

Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, was most worried that if the news of Matsuoka's assassination leaked, it would cause unease in the Soviet Union. At present, most of the main forces of the Kwantung Army have been transferred to fight in the Guannai, and the troops remaining in the northeast are already very weak, and if the Soviet Union attacks on a large scale at this time, he is absolutely not sure that he will be able to hold the northeast.

Umezu Mijiro sent an urgent telegram to the base camp, saying that the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 28th, 29th, and 104th Divisions, the main forces of the Kwantung Army, had all been transferred to fight in the pass, and that the Eighth Division and the 29th Division had been successively transferred to Yusha, Shandong. The 10th and 4th Divisions were assigned to the 23rd Army, which is now the 22nd Army, and the 4th Division was assigned to the 11th Army. Not to mention that it was impossible to complete the task of preparing for war against the Soviet Union, and it was impossible to ensure public order in Manchuria. The assassination outside Matsuoka shows that the Kwantung Army has reached the point where it must be vigorously strengthened, and the top priority at the moment is to withdraw the main force of the Kwantung Army in North China back to the northeast to deter the Soviets from launching a surprise attack because of the assassination outside Matsuoka. Please base camp for urgent guidance!
