[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1176: The Fall of the Tojo Cabinet (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng did not expect that the battle he launched would directly lead to the collapse of the Tojo cabinet, and in history, Tojo Hideki was forced to step down at the end of 1944, for similar reasons as now, because of the defeat in the war and was questioned by the people, and then attacked by political opponents and stepped down.

In fact, as early as the defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Midway, Hideki Tojo's position was in shaky shape, but because the navy was afraid of taking responsibility, it deliberately concealed the results of the war.

Therefore, although the Japanese navy suffered its first crushing defeat in a century, the losses were quite heavy. But Tojo, as the prime minister, was kept in the dark and didn't know it. But those in the know put the blame on Tojo, and even Emperor Hirohito was dissatisfied with the cabinet led by Hideki Tojo.

Ma Zheng was overjoyed when the news of Hideki Tojo's resignation came, but he knew very well that Hideki Tojo's resignation was inevitable, but it was just a little earlier than in history.

As everyone knows, the tragedy of Hideki Tojo was already doomed as soon as he came to power, and the rafters that came out of the tree were big and rotten first.

When he first came to power, Hidehide Tojo held the three posts of prime minister, land minister, and interior minister, and combined military and political power, which caused many people to be dissatisfied while being majestic and powerful.

In addition, Hideki Tojo is also a dictator, and in order to suppress the people's minds, Hideki Tojo practiced a terrifying gendarmerie politics and wantonly suppressed political opponents and active military officers.

For example, Nishio Toshizo, who was appointed as a military senator, went to Kansai to inspect and casually said in response to a reporter's question: "I don't know about this, you can ask the guy who rummaged through the garbage bin every morning, he knows."

And what General Nishio Shouzo is talking about is actually Hideki Tojo, because one of Tojo's hobbies is to check the garbage in the garbage bin to see if anyone eats big fish and meat, and is extravagant and wasteful when the country is in trouble. This angered the narrow-minded Tojo, and immediately ordered the senior Nishio Shogun to be put into the reserve. This wanton repression and dictatorship has tarnished his political reputation. In addition, Hideki Tojo favored the "three traitors and four fools", which made his reputation worse and worse.

It stands to reason that the crushing defeat of the Kwantung Army had nothing to do with him, and it was General Yamada Otozo who commanded the Kwantung Army, and it was Emperor Hirohito who ordered not to reinforce the Kwantung Army, and he, the head of the army, had nothing to do with it.

But whoever made Yamada Otozo be his ally, Yamada Otozo and him were both prosperous and loss, and Yamada Otozo was defeated, and Hideki Tojo would definitely be implicated.

In addition, the order not to reinforce the Kwantung Army was given by Emperor Hirohito, but who would dare to criticize His Majesty the Great Emperor at this time. In addition, Japan really needs a scapegoat at this time, and it is honored that Hideki Tojo is playing such a role at this time.

As soon as the news of the resignation of the Hideki Tojo cabinet broke, the whole of Japan fell into an inexplicable silence. There are those who are happy, there are those who mourn, and there are those who regret, and the expressions are different.

Ma Zheng was also silent for a while after listening to the report of the intelligence department, but then smiled. Compared to Hideki Tojo's talent, the newly appointed Koiso Kuniaki can't catch up.

Although Koiso Kuniaki is known as the Tiger of Korea, Koiso Kuniaki's control of the overall situation is not at the same level as Hideki Tojo. If Hideki Tojo is euphemistically stupid, then Nobuyuki Abe is the stupidity of Hongguoguo.

Moreover, Ma Zheng knew that the prime minister of Koiso Kuniaki had almost zero control over the Japanese military department, and although the Japanese government during the Tojo period was also under the orders of the military department, it still had some autonomy, and sometimes it could even compete with the military department.

But after Koiso Kuniaki took office, the Japanese military base camp was like air for him, the prime minister. And this Koiso cabinet is also a short-lived cabinet, and it took only half a year from the formation of the cabinet to the end, so there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

Ma Zheng has no time to pay attention to the political situation in Japan now, and he is now busy taking over this mess in the Northeast. Although the Japanese army retreated, the political and economic situation in the northeast region was still chaotic, especially when the puppet Manchurian government fled, it swept away all the gold and silver hard currency, resulting in tens of billions of counterfeit coins becoming waste paper, and for a time the prices in the entire northeast region soared, and all financial activities were stagnant.

At the same time, Ma Zheng also transferred a large number of military talents from Baotou and Guisui to prepare to fully take over the industrial base departments in Northeast China, mainly military enterprises.

Fortunately, the battle launched by the Northern Serbian Corps this time was relatively sudden and progressed relatively quickly, so the losses in the North Manchurian region were relatively small and within the range of bearability. The losses in the Central and South Manchurian regions were much greater, and in some places almost all activities were interrupted, including transportation, electricity, and communications.

However, the development of the Saibei Corps during this period was also great, due to the large territory, so all units of the Saibei Corps have made great progress during this time, especially after capturing a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment, the Saibei Corps ushered in a new round of expansion.

In view of the surge in the prestige of the Saibei Corps in the northeast during this period, and the people's interest in joining the army was very high, Ma Zheng ordered the troops to step up the time to recruit new soldiers, and at the same time ordered local government departments to recruit police forces.

The situation of the war has basically been decided, China and Japan are facing each other across the Yalu River, and they will never allow any losses against Korea and Japan, while the Saibei Corps is putting on a posture that is bound to win, and a dragon and tiger struggle will inevitably be set off on the Sino-Korean border.

On May 9, Ma Zheng convened a military meeting of the whole army at and above the corps commander level in Mukden to discuss the future development ideas of the troops.

Since the territory of the Northern Saibei Corps has expanded more than three times all at once, many people believe that the most urgent thing for the Saibei Corps at this stage is to consolidate the occupied areas, rather than continue to expand its territory.

Others, on the other hand, believed that the troops should take advantage of the victory and should attack the territory of Korea in the north. Completely solve the remnants of the Kwantung Army and completely expel the Japanese forces from North China, otherwise the Saibei Corps will always have a large number of troops stranded in the northeast region to guard against a possible attack by the Japanese army.

There are also those who believe that the army should immediately move south and take advantage of the victory to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese North China Front and end this damned war as soon as possible.

Ma Zheng discovered the ideological differences in the army in time, and he believed that they must be resolved as soon as possible, because Ma Zheng knew that if a unit could become a division of kings who won all battles, it must be unified in thinking, and after the unity of thought, the troops would be able to think in one place and work hard in one place.

Although the differences in the army seem to be small, if they are allowed to develop, they are likely to cause major disasters, which makes Ma Zheng have to pay attention to it.

The meeting was held at the former South Manchurian Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and was attended by Political Commissar Luo, Xu Yinghui, Ma Desheng, Xu Xiaolin, Liu Fengchi, Xu Hu, Xing Chao, Li Zhaolin, and others.

The meeting lasted for a whole day and night, and the cadres attending the meeting had a fierce discussion on the 12 questions raised by Ma Zheng, which involved the political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects of Northeast China.

Ma Zheng is a realistic person, so he asks all the cadres of the Saibei Corps to have something to say, and he doesn't like those who do things in a twisty way. Ma Zheng always believes that a soldier is a soldier, and a soldier cannot be like a politician.

A good politician can also be a good military strategist, but a good military strategist should never be delusional about being a good politician, because the way they behave and think is completely different. The Northern Saibei Corps trains soldiers, and there is no need for politicians to stir up the situation. Therefore, whenever Ma Zheng held a meeting, the cadres of the Northern Saibei Corps were all pulling open their arms and talking, one is one, and what they think of is completely open and transparent.

Although the meeting was very intense, the delegates attending the meeting all proceeded from the development of the troops, and although they expressed their own opinions, they finally reached a consensus on all issues.

In particular, as far as military affairs are concerned, the delegates attending the meeting finally agreed that they should not be busy fighting against the People's Republic of China for the time being, after all, there are still a large number of Japanese occupied areas in the country, and if the Saibei Corps is in the People's Republic of China at this time, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the people in the country.

One reason is one reason, and the other is logistical problems. After this period of heavy fighting, the ammunition and supplies in the inventory of the Northern Serbian Corps have almost been exhausted. Although a lot of materials of the Japanese puppet army were captured, due to management problems, Ma Zheng and the entire logistics department did not know how much ammunition there was in the Northern Saibei Corps, and the aviation fuel and aerial bombs were basically exhausted.

After all, the Northeast has been under control for thirteen years, and the Japanese puppet forces have infiltrated all the corners of the Northeast.

Now, although the Japanese puppet army has either been wiped out or driven out of the northeast, there are still a large number of remnants of the Japanese forces hiding in the shadows to find an opportunity. Therefore, the next task is not how to eliminate the remnants of the Kwantung Army, but to consolidate the occupied areas as soon as possible, completely eliminate the remnants of the Japanese forces in the northeast region, and return the northeast to a clear and prosperous future.

In the end, Ma Zheng decided to focus on digesting the territory for the time being, and then take action against the little devil after digesting the results of the battle.

At the same time, Ma Zheng gave the whole army two months to rest and recuperate, and ordered the defenders in various places to try their best to rectify local law and order within these two months, and at the same time to help local workers and peasants resume production, after all, it is already May, and it is necessary to seize the time to cultivate. As for military matters, we will talk about it in two months.
