With the support of Chen Ke's more clear attitude, Hirohito was also a lot bolder. After thinking about it, he decided not to return to China for the time being. Gathering former high-ranking officials, Hirohito held a meeting. An old guy like Kantaro Suzuki is not in good health, and this trip to China has completely made them lose their heart. For Hirohito's thoughts, the old guys just listened. The senior officials in the middle age were also stunned when they saw Hirohito raise the issue. The topic of discussion was "whether the socialist system can coexist with the emperor system."

This is a seemingly nonsense issue, but at least in this world, although the monarchy has been combined with the aristocratic republic, there are subtle differences between this. The British system is a constitutional monarchy, and the Japanese system is a constitutional monarchy. It is to use the first strike to ensure the sanctity of the emperor system.

This is stated in Chapter I of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan.

Article 1 The Great Japanese Empire was ruled by an emperor of the eternal lineage.

Article 3 The Emperor is sacrosanct.

Article 4 The Emperor shall be the head of state and shall have the overall power to govern, which shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.

Article 5 The Emperor shall exercise legislative power with the assistance of the Imperial Diet.

Article 6 The Emperor approves the law and orders it to be promulgated and enforced.

Article 7 The Emperor shall convene the Imperial Diet, and the opening, closure, and suspension of its sessions, as well as the dissolution of the House of Representatives of Japan, shall be carried out by order of the Emperor.

Article 8 The Emperor may, in order to maintain public safety or to avoid calamity, issue an imperial decree in lieu of law when the Imperial Diet is not in session, if it is necessary for emergency. The edict shall be submitted to the Imperial Diet at the next session, and if the Parliament does not commit to it, the Government shall announce that it will cease to be valid.

Article 9 The Emperor may issue or cause the Government to issue such orders as may be necessary for the execution of the law, or for the maintenance of public peace and order, and for the promotion of the happiness of his subjects, but shall not change the law by order.

Article 10 The Emperor shall appoint and dismiss civil and military officials in accordance with the official structure of the executive branch and the salaries of civil and military officials, provided that there are special provisions in this Constitution and other laws.

Article 11 The Emperor commands the army and navy.

Article 12 The Emperor shall determine the establishment and standing strength of the Army and Navy.

Article 13 The Emperor declares war and concludes treaties.

Article 14 The Emperor declares martial law. The requirements and effects of martial law shall be prescribed by law.

Article 15 The Emperor confers titles, medals, and other honors.

Article 16 The Emperor shall order amnesty, pardon, commutation of sentence, and restoration of power.

Article 17 The regency shall be governed by the provisions of the royal model. The regent exercises great power in the name of the emperor.

This is Japan's constitution and where Japan's power structure lies. The reason why the imperial faction once believed that it was necessary to "respect the emperor and seek treachery" was based on the support of tradition and the Constitution.

Due to Hirohito's fierce resistance, the Showa Restoration faction had to bypass Hirohito and implement the decree by a cabinet composed of the new government and the new Socialist Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.

After visiting China, Hirohito discovered that China's state system of government did not exclude "leadership autocracy", and that Chen's actual position in China was far greater than that of Hirohito's position in Japan when he was at his most powerful. This really gave Hirohito a feeling of opening his horizons.

"The problem in Japan today is that the emperor is not in power, and most importantly, the emperor is not the supreme leader of the party." Hirohito said. In his view, Chen Ke is the supreme leader of China, and all actions from the inside to the outside are ultimately accountable to Chen Ke. The Chinese People's Party's policy formulation and implementation are led by Chen Ke. This is the shape of power in China at the present stage.

After listening to Hirohito's statement, these former high-ranking officials were very uncomfortable. There is a big difference between the Japanese emperor and the Chinese leader, and the biggest difference is that the Japanese emperor is the object of the Japanese people's dedication, and the Chinese people are the objects of Chen Ke's dedication. The law guaranteed the supremacy of the emperor, but there was no legal guarantee that there was a natural relationship between Chen Ke and power.

Hirohito wants to be the Chen Ke of Japan, and that's a good idea. But there is nothing law-based to this idea, it is entirely a matter of personal ability. Although the former high-ranking officials had no ill will towards Hirohito, they did not think that Hirohito could reach the heights of Chen Ke in terms of technology, military and politics. Pursuing things that you can't do is the result of drawing a tiger and not becoming an anti-dog.

Seeing that these useless guys didn't understand his thoughts at all, Hirohito was quite disappointed. He himself didn't care if he could reach the heights of Chen Ke, what he wanted now was to regain power, at least not lose any more power. The solution to this goal is simple: as long as Hirohito makes it clear that he supports socialism, makes it Japan's national policy, and with the appeal of the Japanese emperor, Hirohito can return to the pinnacle of power, at least nominally. Instead of being under house arrest and being isolated from Japanese politics as they are now.

This kind of power trick is something that cannot be explained directly, and if Hirohito dares to explain it so directly, the result is doomed to tragedy. Regardless of whether he was willing to make a revolution or not, Hirohito had to show that he was willing to revolution.

At this time, Hirohito looked at the group of useless things in front of him, and suddenly remembered a sentence from the People's Party in political class, "Hypocrisy is what evil has to pay tribute to justice!" ”
