Chapter 186: The Night of the Calamity
"Smack......
The letter was slammed on the table, and he angrily held his forehead. The man has a thin face and two small eyes. And deformed eyelids, which are twisted into triangles. Under the nose with the nostrils exposed, there is a long beard. He was wearing the uniform of a Japanese general, but now he completely lost the prestige of the occupation army, but he was a little older.
As for who he is, let's see the letter he just slapped on the table.
"Matsui-kun, I recently heard that Your Majesty was very angry because of the "Death of Nanjing" that was widely disseminated in major international media......
In fact, at the time of the so-called "democracy", the Japanese Empire still had a very strong feudal consciousness. As we have said, just like the "black and gold politics" that prevailed in Taiwan at this time when the Nationalist government was formed, the "gate system" is not only the present but also the real controller of the politics and economy of the Japanese Empire in the future.
Not only was the real controller of the Japanese Empire during World War II, but it was also the power that lurked out of the public eye after the end of World War II and controlled the entire Japanese government and opposition. And they also control the yakuza in Japan at the same time, otherwise the Japanese Empire would not be the only country in the world that allows the yakuza to exist openly.
If you talk about other countries, for the gangsters at least superficially cleaned up. The Japanese Empire, on the other hand, was a barbarian and allowed yakuza to register and exist.
I don't want to explain Japan's political system, but I want to explain that since it is a feudal rule, the saying that "there are people in the court who are good officials" is the truth in this country. This is a very different pattern from the government of elected officials.
Whichever way is better, that's not a matter of discussion. But when "there are people in the court who are good officials", the person in front of him got the news about his position in advance.
"Alas......!"
With a heavy sigh, he bent down with his head in his hands, his elbows resting on his knees. He didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that after the capture of Nanjing, he would encounter such trouble. And he knew that when he got the news, he should have lost the opportunity to change his fate again.
But it wasn't the worst news he'd ever gotten tonight.
In addition to the reassignment of his duties, there are two other persons whose duties will be reassigned. One is King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, and the other is Lieutenant General Toshio Tani, commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army. And the person in front of him is the commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone. Although he was still recuperating from illness when the Battle of Nanking was going on, the problem was that he was a commander, and of course he had to be responsible.
“…… The Imperial Family and the Government were under great pressure, and not only the governments condemned it, but even the Pope of the Vatican issued a condemnation ......"
His eyes trembled uncontrollably as he had a splitting headache. The words on the letter paper seemed to be dancing, like his sad heart. He was not saddened by the non-combatants who died in the "Nanjing Massacre", but as a Japanese, it had little to do with him. If we have to emphasize the relationship with him, there is no other relationship at all except that it was done by the army under his jurisdiction and at the same time affected his career.
He just had a headache, and this headache was not how he would be held accountable when he went back. Rather, there is an inexplicable, abandoned sadness in my heart. And he also has a kind of sadness that he had to leave China. As a China expert, this describes a future for him. Even more tragic is that he will never be able to achieve his goal. Greater Asianism.
It is precisely because of this view that he had a good personal relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, and played a considerable auxiliary role in Chiang Kai-shek's life.
In the summer of 1908, Chen Qimei, a revolutionary of the Confederacy, quietly returned from Japan to organize an anti-Qing uprising in Shanghai, when he met Matsui Ishine, who supported the Chinese revolution. The two are old acquaintances in Japan, and they haven't seen each other for many days, and they talk happily. Chen Qimei also introduced his 21-year-old sworn brother Jiang Zhiqing to Matsui, who was later Chiang Kai-shek. Later, when Chiang Kai-shek went to Japan to study, he lived in Matsui's house and went to Japan for an internship with Takata United, which was also Matsui's guarantee.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, suddenly announced that he would go to Japan to seek support, and it was only through Matsui Ishine's introduction that he met Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshiichi. In the talks with Tanaka, the Japanese government promised to support Chiang economically and militarily, but hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would exchange the interests of the northeast, which Chiang pushed to the northeast to still under the control of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, and handed over the interests of the northeast to Japan when he unified China.
But now, because of the "Nanjing Massacre", he is about to be taken captive, and even a friend's letter mentions that he may be tried martial. After all, although "The Death of Nanjing" was not delivered to government departments in various countries, the problem is that the media's mouth is not easy to be silenced. And no one has the ability to buy the world's media.
What's more, the Japanese army in front of him has been firmly nailed to the pillar of shame by the testimony of a nun. Even because of this incident, the Vatican Pope had to come out and publicly and severely condemn the Japanese government.
But on this night of disaster, not all the disasters that gave him headaches had already reached his hands. The real catastrophe had just been taken over by his lieutenant and came to him.
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is what we just received!"
The commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone, did not say anything more, he just waved his hand casually, and the adjutant put the information on the table next to him.
It is said that he should pay attention to the image of his commander-in-chief, but the adjutant in front of him is his trusted cronies, and he can already judge that his fate will not be too good. It is very likely that he will carry the most important order for King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, and then be exiled to the wilderness.
"Commander...... You, it doesn't matter to you...... Why don't I help you get some rest! ”
The commander of the occupation forces, Senior General Matsui Ishone, could hear that his adjutant's throat seemed to be choked. He knew that the other party understood his feelings. So he waved his hand lightly again, signaling that he wanted to be alone for a while. Although when he receives the official order, he will cheer up and say goodbye to the soldiers who fought bloodily under his command like a sane commander.
But at this time, his mood was still extremely sad, and he wished that he would have time to be alone for a while. So he waved his hand and whispered again.
"Bring the door when you go out, I want to be alone for a while!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
He could hear the adjutant respond softly, and he could hear him leave the room lightly. It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that he straightened his back. Then he glanced around the room, as if looking for something. Then he found it, and it was a bottle of sake.
"Hey, now, only the company of the wine bottle is the most important!"

When the alcohol brought by the sake made him intoxicated enough, the courage in his heart finally allowed him to face it. Pick up the letter he had just slapped on the table and continue to look at it. This time he didn't have much anger because he knew that everything was irreparable.
"The Death of Nanjing...... The leader of the Chiyou Army is really a pretty powerful character! ”
Recalling that since he gave the order to King Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace to enter Nanjing, the "Nanjing Massacre" mentioned in "The Death of Nanjing" has developed to the highest dynasty. At this moment, he already understood in his heart that it was precisely because of his order that King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace carried out a scene that made the international media angry and angry.
"Yes! It's all because of my orders, not because of that bastard of King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace......"
Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, and that order did not directly cause the "Nanjing Massacre". Even before entering the city, he issued an order to treat the people of Nanking kindly, so that they would return to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Why didn't anyone think about it, in fact, everything is just to exonerate King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace from the responsibility he should have, he is not a noble soldier, if it is him, he should know how to admit his responsibility!"
After thinking everything through, the commander of the occupation forces, Admiral Matsui Ishone, felt the sake in his mouth become delicious. And his mood is not so heavy, so heavy that he can barely breathe. As a scapegoat, he has to be a scapegoat. I believe that because of my lack of resistance, even if there is a trial by a military court, it is just a formality.
This is like most things in the Japanese Empire, as long as the people do not know the truth behind it, then there is no problem. Thinking of this, he remembered the "Meiji Restoration". The current Empire of Japan is nothing more than a cloak of the rule of law, and this situation may lead the Empire of Japan into a terrible disaster.
"Perhaps the only benefit of the Meiji Restoration is that it is just and fair on the surface!"
Thinking of this, he decided not to be annoyed by the matter anymore, because it was not worth it. And his fate must have been decided now, and he should be banished to the field. If that's the case, it's not a big deal.
Although he thought so in his heart, the faint pain made him almost unbearable. He decided to do something to distract himself. He put the wine glass in his hand on the table, but he didn't get up, a commander who drank unsteadily, it would be a terrible scandal.
So he looked up at the table for a moment to pass the time until the wine was strong enough to return to his dormitory like a normal soldier.
"Well, that'...... What are those things? ”
On the table, lying quietly was a grenade casing with its fuse removed. And it was clearly not a grenade shell that was the standard of the Japanese army. And under the shell of the grenade, there is an envelope.
"Could it be...... Oh my God, that must be terrible bad news, otherwise how could it be on my desk on such a catastrophic night! ”
