In March 1936, the day finally came for the departure of the 1st Division. The soldiers got on the train in high spirits, and after the whistle of the train sounded, the train full of soldiers began to move north. When Okamura Ninji learned that the First Division had finally set off, his heart was mixed.

If the 1st Division were to make trouble in Tokyo, or even to assassinate the minister, it would be a powerful impetus for the changes in Japan that the Reunification faction was expecting. Bei Yihui effectively stopped the officers of the 1st Division. Many of the most radical officers of the gang joined the petition outside the palace gates to see the emperor, and many were arrested. From the perspective of personnel losses alone, the number of losses at the grassroots level of the Imperial Road Sect is not small. The officers of the 1st Division were severely reprimanded for the "misdeeds" of their subordinates. On the surface, the Imperial Dao faction was dealt a heavy blow. In Japan, no one will show mercy when it's time to beat up a water dog. The leaders of the Imperial Sect were severely reprimanded, and the soldiers of the Imperial Sect were confined, and those who should be removed or demoted were also unceremoniously.

Okamura felt that on the surface, the Unification faction had been extremely successful. Similarly, what disturbed Okamura Ninji was that the unification faction actually recognized it as such. After being treated unfairly, the ruling faction did not continue to make trouble, but remained silent as if they wanted to accept the facts. This is not normal.

It's just that even if this thing is abnormal, Okamura Ninji can only accept this result for the time being. The shooting of the petitioner in 226 had a great impact on the Army, beyond Nagata Tetsuyama's imagination. When formulating a plan for the "unification" of the whole of Japan, the unification faction needed political and economic knowledge other than the military, so the pro-establishment staff sought help from bureaucrats, financial circles, and academics, and gradually established close contact with the upper echelons of the political and financial circles.

The bloody crackdown on 226 shocked the bureaucracy, financial circles, and academic circles. The phrase "someone is trying to plot against the emperor" will not fool these upper echelons. The brutality and brutality of the military department alarmed these people. Originally, there were a group of people in the bureaucracy, financial circles, and academic circles who did not agree with the unification faction in power, and now they demanded an explanation for the bloody events.

The ruling faction triumphantly attacked the Imperial Dao faction, which fulfilled their wish, and inadvertently let the Imperial Dao faction get out of this matter. No one doubted what the Imperial Sect had done in it, and the Imperial Sect really hadn't done anything. The Praetorian Division, which had been controlled by the Domination faction, was under great pressure. Talk that they mishandled it is everywhere. Even the civilian population, which originally supported the military department, was extremely disgusted by the performance of the army in this matter.

So if you calculate it in detail, it is difficult to say whether the Imperial Dao faction suffered or took advantage of this incident. Generally speaking, the unification faction will not be able to continue to fight the imperial faction for the time being. I could only watch the royal faction go to Sakhalin and camp in ashes. This is already very harsh treatment. After all, the 1st Division had not been transferred out of Tokyo for 30 years, let alone thrown directly to Sakhalin. If the Domination faction is too harsh on the Imperial Dao faction, it will inevitably make other forces that need to be pacified feel uneasy.

Sometimes things are so troublesome, since the first division has been dealt so ruthlessly, theoretically it is necessary to completely solve the resistance ability of the first division. However, out of the strategy of external pacification, the 1st Division never resisted. Even if they know that something is wrong, the control faction can only temporarily stop at the benefits they have already received.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji was very happy that the 1st Division had left Tokyo smoothly, and Kitaikki was not a soldier, and if Kitaikki could also be sent to Sakhalin with him, Okamura Ninji would be even happier.

Of course, the enemy is not just the Imperial Sect for the Domination faction. The current Prime Minister, Takahashi, is a guy who has to be solved anyway. Takahashi is the greatest "crime" of the Qing Dynasty is that he has never yielded to the Japanese military department, and to be more precise, Takahashi is a government official led by the Qing Dynasty who used the skills of political circles to play the military department around. So in any case, Takahashi, who is in his eighties, must step down after the expiration of this prime minister.

The pro-establishment faction has made great efforts, believing that in the next round of local elections, the pro-establishment faction will be able to obtain a majority of many local legislators. With local superiority and a majority in the Diet, Japan will be able to smoothly fall into the hands of the unification faction. Even if there is no one to punish the country, Takahashi Shiqing and the political friends association he leads must step down.

Compared with people like Okamura Ninji, who need to consider many things and design in many places, An Tenghuizo only needs to consider the implementation of one thing. The 1st Division went north, and the 9th Division in the Kanazawa area took over. There were a large number of local soldiers in the Aomori Division in the Ninth Division, and An Teng Keizan had many acquaintances in Aomori. Even before the troops set off, An Tenghui III had already contacted the people of the Ninth Division.

Representatives of the Imperial Dao faction within the Ninth Division soon sent people to contact An Tenghuisan. At the first stop on the northbound journey after the train on Atsumi Teizo's train left Tokyo Station, soldiers who were not part of the 1st Division got on the train. The liaison officer from the 9th Division was a lieutenant, and when he saw An Tenghui's 3rd lieutenant, the lieutenant immediately saluted. The two arrived at a sleeper compartment specially prepared for officers before they began to talk.

"What the comrades of the 9th Division want to know most is what is happening in Tokyo!" The lieutenant asked in a low voice.

An Tenghui gave a brief account of what was happening in Tokyo, and when he heard that a large number of soldiers and civilians were trying to meet the emperor, the lieutenant in charge of liaison was excited. These young people, who have seen the darkness of society, need someone who can point the way to solve the problem and hope to receive strong help. His Majesty the Emperor, or His Majesty the Emperor as imagined by these young soldiers, is undoubtedly the best personnel in Japan,

"And what is Mr. Antan going to do?" The lieutenant asked eagerly.

"I must lead everyone to meet His Majesty the Emperor!" An Tenghuisan's voice was not loud, but his voice was full of a determination that would not back down.

Seeing such a firm attitude, the representative of the 9th Division felt an inexplicable excitement, and was able to clearly tell the emperor the true appearance of Japan, it must be a good deed, and the lieutenant nodded his head hard, "Mr. Anteng, we will definitely help you!" ”

The 1st Division has left Tokyo, so how can the 1st Division return to Tokyo? It would have been absolutely impossible without the cooperation of the middle and upper echelons of the 9th Division. The Wing Commander of the Ninth Division, who took the lead in the southward troops, was the old boss of An Tenghuisan. After the intense work of the liaison staff, the two finally met at the train station.

Anteng Nakasa said straight to the point to Trace Daisa: "May I ask if the seniors know about the Mitsui and Mitsubishi Foundation Repayment Meeting?" ”

In 1933, Ikeda Naribin, the executive director who held Mitsui's real power after the death of Dan Takuma, invested 30 million yen in a fund to establish the Mitsui Gratitude Association in the name of supporting social welfare undertakings. Mitsubishi, for its part, donated 17.63 million yen to society over a four-year period from 1931 to 1935. This is a thing that most of the middle and upper echelons of the army have heard of, but they don't know what it means for Anteng Zhongzuo to specifically mention this matter.

Antennakasa explained with a solemn expression: "The Imperial Road faction represents the power of the soldiers and the people around the soldiers at the grassroots level, and Mr. Kita Ikki represents the power of the people, and the military department has been combined with monopoly capital, coupled with the continuous emergence of new bureaucrats and other supporters of the military department in the ruling class, the control faction has completely transformed into a political movement representing the interests of the ruling class. ”

Trace's expression finally faltered, and he stared closely at his junior and subordinate, the two were fifteen or sixteen years apart in age, but the difference in rank was only one level. An Tenghui Sanzhongzuo does not have any special background, and it is impossible to meet the favor of any big people. can obtain today's status, which can only show that the status of Anteng Zhongzuo was won by bloody battles.

"You're still alarmist when you say that." Osaku finally spoke.

"If it is alarmist, why did the command faction of the military department order the shooting of the petitioning civilians? The relationship between our 1st Division and the Guards Division is not bad. My friends in the Guards Division told me that the Guards Division itself did not want to do this, but the unit led by the commander was on duty, and this kind of killing of civilians happened. ”

Tracebe Dasa snorted, one of the two divisions in Tokyo is the first division, and the other is naturally the Praetorian Guard division. Although the background of the Praetorian Guard Division is generally stronger than that of the First Division, Japan is such a large place, and there are many people from ordinary backgrounds in the Praetorian Guard Division. Even if they retired from the Praetorian Guard Division, there was no way to give these soldiers a chance to improve their status. Therefore, there are also many officers and soldiers in the Praetorian Guard Division who support the Imperial Dao faction.

"What's the use of that? Does An Tengjun still believe that His Majesty the Emperor is standing with the people? Tesbe asked in a mocking tone.

An Teng Nakaza replied: "The emperor is not on the side of the people in the first place, we know, but the people don't know. ”

"What can the people do when they find out? It just disappoints them even more. Traces said.

Anteng Zhongzuo continued to reply: "No! The truth doesn't hurt anyone! It is those who have harmed the people who believe the lie that the emperor is on the side of the people. Once they are able to see the facts clearly, these people will not be deceived by lies. ”

Seeing that what Anteng Nakasa said was categorical, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not much use not to be deceived by these lies." Where in this world is there any royal paradise......"

"There has never been an imperial paradise in this world, but there is a country that belongs to the people." Anteng Zhongzuo replied seriously, because he was too serious, but it made Anteng Nakasa's expression almost think that Anteng Nakasa's expression was joking. But after a while, it became clear to him that Aiteng was talking about China and the Soviet Union.

"Both countries, without exception, have had a total revolution! We in Japan need to do the same. "Anteng Zhongzuo can't directly say that these two countries have killed the emperor. China's Manchu Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the banner people didn't even dare to mention the flag name, so they changed their Han surnames and pretended to be Han people. As for the Soviet ......, Lenin ordered the Tsar to be destroyed. Compared with the revolutions in these two countries, the revolution in Japan was not at all strong.

Tesbe Osa is also a member of the Imperial Sect, so he is well aware of the role of the emperor in Japan. Anten's behavior was so aggressive, and Tracebe Osa was quite surprised. He pondered for a moment before saying, "If I don't get involved in this, what are you going to do?" ”

Antennakasa was not frightened by the meaning revealed in these words, and he replied calmly: "If the seniors do not participate, then I can only continue to Sakhalin with the troops." I'm not interested in a move that doesn't stand a chance of winning. If you do it, you must win, otherwise I am sorry for the trust that my subordinates have placed in me. ”

As if choked, he stared at Anteng Nakasa for a while before he replied, "Hey! Itanium! You're too realistic, aren't you? ”

"Revolution itself is the most realistic thing." An Tengzhong replied.

Tracebe Osa glared at Anto Nakasa for a while, and finally said, "Okay, tell me what happened in Tokyo recently." It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Kita, and I don't know anything about Okulu! ”

An Tenghui was not pretentious, and immediately talked about Kita Kazuki's recent summary research results on Japan.

The most influential economic trends in the Great Depression include the Japanese capitalist polemics of Marxist scholars represented by Noro Eitaro and Minamio Inomata; the idea of planned economy advocated by Seiichi Kojima, Hiromi Arisawa, Keizo Fujita, etc.; the economic thought of folk nationalism represented by Kita Yihui; the idea of "revision" of the system advocated by the "new bureaucracy" represented by Nobusuke Kishi and Shinji Yoshino, and the idea of strengthening economic control in the political circles represented by Jotaro Yamamoto and Masatsushi Nakano; Nakajima Wankichi and Seinosuke Xiang, represented by the "self-innovation" idea of the financial community; Ishihara Guan'er represented the military department's economic ideology, etc.

In his book "On Japan's Planned Economy," Seiichi Kojima wrote: "In the last two or three years, capitalism has been in a state of extreme weakness, and the time has come when it is necessary to abandon its own relief measures and try to invest in the new medicine of the planned economy -- at this point, we no longer need to discuss whether the planned economy should be or not, and the most urgent task at the moment is to go a few steps further and put forward a concrete plan for the planned economy in an organized manner." ”

Writing in a prominent position in the Social Policy Times, Nakajima wrote: "With all due respect, in order to consolidate our economic position in the future in the arena of internal and external competition, it is necessary to realize the economic nationalism that has been practiced so far. That is, it is necessary to realize the national one-industry system. In addition, such a single enterprise consortium is subject to an annual plan drawn up in accordance with the position of the state and acts under the guidance of its production and export policies. ”

Commenting on the Soviet Union's five-year economic plan, Nobusuke Kishi, an official of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, said: "It is indeed a certain shock, and it is an economic system that is completely different from the current free economy in Japan, and the way of setting goals first and then working hard to achieve them is a great threat. Kishi said: "In view of the extreme anarchy in China's industrial circles, the top priority at the moment is to thoroughly implement enterprise control. As a temporary emergency measure, it is imperative to enact a law on general industrial control in order to achieve control over important industries. ”

In short, the successes of China and the Soviet Union, as well as Germany's miraculous economic achievements, made Japan feel the need for a more planned and holistic system. This common orientation of ideological, financial, and cultural circles, combined with the thinking of Nagata Tetsuyama, who is said to be the smartest in the army, is the core theory of the "unification faction" at present.

"The Regime has made all the preparations, and it is up to them to launch an excuse for their own actions. After the petition to the emperor in Tokyo was suppressed, Mr. Kita tried his best to suppress it, so that the Imperial faction did not move. As a result of these efforts, the people, who had already begun to grow tired of the turmoil, saw some real hope. Everyone believes that the upper echelons of Japan are all bad people, but the emperor must be a good person......" Anto Nakasa seriously introduced the situation.

"His Majesty the Emperor is a good man...... haha! Hahahaha! Osaku couldn't help but laugh. Because in front of him was a smart enough Anteng Nakasa, the trace of Dazuo dared to really dare to laugh. You must know that if you are disrespectful to the emperor, it is a capital crime.

Antennakasa didn't laugh, he really couldn't laugh, "What we want is to mobilize the people, even if it is such a false illusion, as long as the Japanese people defeat the enemy by their own strength and finally achieve their goal, this is a success in itself." As for what does it matter if you meet the emperor and find out that the emperor is completely different from what you imagined! Once you have the power to defeat those in power, it is not a problem to fight. A large part of the power of the powerful comes from the emperor, and the power of the Japanese people has never come from the emperor! ”

"Then tell me about your specific tactics!" Tracebe asked.

"This ......, but I don't know what attitude my predecessors have towards my thoughts." Anteng Zhongzuo asked.

"With a stupid junior like you, I don't feel at ease if I don't participate." Tracebe Dasa replied.

"Then thank you seniors!" After Anteng Nakazo understood what Tracebe Dazuo meant, he thanked him repeatedly.
