"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the Japanese general Shunroku Hata was killed."

Outside the nickname, the commander of the Battle of Wuhan was killed.

Early the next morning, major newspapers such as the Central Daily and Huaxia Daily made headlines the news of Shunroku Hata's killing. On streets all over the country, children who bought newspapers waved the newspapers in their hands and shouted the news of Shunroku Hata being killed.

"Bring me one."

"I'll have one"

"And me"

People walking on the streets, hearing the news of the death of a Japanese general, rushed over to buy newspapers. In less than a minute, the newspaper in the newsboy's hand was snapped up.

After buying the newspaper, they began to stand aside and read, nodding from time to time. Those who didn't buy the newspaper crowded next to the person who bought the newspaper and read it together.

"What is it talking about, how is it said?"

Those who are illiterate simply cannot read what is written on it. So I kept asking people who could understand what it was saying.

And those who were literate saw that everyone was crowded and uncomfortable, and immediately read it aloud, spreading the good news more widely and letting more people know.

Soon people all over the country knew the good news and began to celebrate in groups. Since the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army has been retreating and retreating, and many of those generals have died. Today, I finally heard that the devil's general is dead, and he is still a general, and everyone is as happy as the New Year.

For the sake of the murder of Shunroku Hatata, some people even took out the fine grains that they had hidden at home for a long time and did not want to eat, and prepared to cook a delicious meal, and the whole family celebrated together.

"Baga, who the hell leaked the news?"

Early in the morning, Okamura Ninji saw the news published in the newspaper and immediately became furious. He originally wanted to inform the base camp about this after he caught the murderer, so as to make up for his mistake. Now that this matter has been reported, it is impossible to hide it.

"I don't know, it may be those spies lurking in the city of Nanjing."

"Baga, go and close down all these newspapers and arrest everyone."

"Hay, I'll do it right away."

Okamura Ninji would never allow the news to spread more widely, and he immediately ordered the newspaper office that published the news to be shut down, and all the people in the newspaper office were arrested and interrogated to see if they could find out anything about the moment.

"Report, base camp telegram. Ask if what the newspaper says is true and why we didn't report it yesterday. ”

Okamura Ningji, who was thinking about taking the initiative to report this matter just now, saw the inquiry report sent by the base camp, and immediately slumped in his chair, his whole eyes glazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, are you alright?"

The staff officer who came to report was shocked when he saw Okamura Ninji's appearance. Okamura Ninji must not have any more accidents now, otherwise there will really be no one who will be able to preside over the overall situation.

"I'm fine, I'll go and explain to the base camp myself."

Now that the base camp already knew, it was impossible for him to hide it anymore. I can only personally inform the base camp of the details of the entire incident and my follow-up treatment, hoping that the base camp can deal with them leniently.

"Send a report to the base camp, Showa ......"

Okamura Ninji informed the base camp of the entire incident as it was, and then waited quietly in the telegraph room, waiting for the results of the base camp's handling.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma asks for a meeting."

"Tell him I'll be right away."

After Japanese Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma received a telegram from Okamura Ninji, he felt that this matter was very serious. So he immediately got up and went to the Imperial Palace, met with Emperor Hirohito, and informed him of the incident.

"Hiranuma Army, what are you doing here, tell me!"

Kiichiro Hiranuma waited for less than fifteen minutes before Emperor Hirohito slowly came to the main hall and sat down.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I just got the news that the commander of the Battle of Wuhan in China, General Shun Hata, was killed at the Nanjing Headquarters at noon yesterday."

"What? General Shunroku Hata is dead. ”

When Emperor Hirohito heard the news, he immediately stood up in shock. He slammed the table hard, as if questioning Kiichiro Hiranuma.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, General Shunroku Hata was indeed assassinated at noon yesterday, this is a telegram sent back by Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, Chief of the General Staff of the Wuhan Battle, please take a look at it."

Hiranuma Kiichiro saw the emperor so angry, his heart jumped, and he immediately handed the telegram sent by Okamura Ninji to Emperor Hirohito, for fear that Emperor Hirohito would blame him.

"Baga, Baga, what a bunch of stupid pigs."

After Emperor Hirohito read Okamura Ninji's telegram, he immediately ignored the imperial image and began to curse. He was so angry that he successfully assassinated Shunroku Rakuhata with such a tight defense. Not only that, but it also made people run away. He couldn't understand what the Nanjing garrison and the headquarters guards were doing, and how they could escape from Nanjing City so easily at this moment.

"His Majesty the Emperor is angry."

Seeing Emperor Hirohito so angry, Kiichiro Hiranuma was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and his colleague spoke to persuade Emperor Hirohito.

"Baga, Baga, let me run away like this at this moment."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have already ordered Okamura Ninji to investigate this matter closely."

"It's been a day, and I don't even know who the assassin is, Okamura Ninji is a pig."

"Hai, His Majesty the Emperor has taught you a lesson."

Seeing that Emperor Hirohito was in a state of anger and couldn't listen to anything, Hiranuma Kiichiro could only obey his wishes.

"Yaga, Yaga."

Emperor Hirohito sat down after scolding a few words, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked. Since the launch of Huaxia, there has never been such a thing, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

Now that such a thing has happened, he feels very unreasonable, and he can't figure out why, so he can only say a few words indignantly.

"How is the battle of Wuhan now, who is in command."

After more than half an hour, Emperor Hirohito's mood slowly calmed down. He began to consider that the killing of Shunroku Hata would probably affect the second Battle of Wuhan that was currently being waged against Huaxia. So he immediately asked, hoping it wasn't too bad.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, after the assassination of General Shunroku Hata, the entire Battle of Wuhan was commanded by Chief of Staff Okamura Ninji."

"And how is the war going now?"

"Due to the leak of the news of the assassination of Shunroku Hatata, the Shina army launched a fierce attack on the front line of our army early this morning. Due to the lack of orders from the commanders, many of our troops were slow to move, which hindered the fighting. At present, with the strong support of space, the two sides are in a stalemate. ”

"Yaga, Okamura Ningji is a pig, can he command or not."

Hearing that it was counterattacked by the Shina army in the morning, Emperor Hirohito began to get angry again and scolded Okamura Ninji.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I can't complain about Okamura-kun either. He was only a chief of staff and did not have the right to directly transfer troops from the front. It's good to be able to play like this at the moment. ”

Kiichiro Hiranuma was right, the Battle of Wuhan was a big war, and the movement of front-line troops must be ordered by the commander-in-chief. And Okamura Ninji is just the chief of staff, so he can't move all the troops on the front line at all. The only one who could move smoothly was his 11th Army.

"Yaga, the battle of Wuhan is the most important at the moment, you tell me who to send to take over the position of Shunroku Hatata."

After the anger, Emperor Hirohito began to calm down, and his first thought was the command of the Battle of Wuhan, and he must immediately send a competent person to preside over the overall situation, otherwise the Battle of Wuhan will be dangerous.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if you send someone from the base camp, it will take some time. And the war on the front line is changing rapidly, and it cannot be delayed at all. ”

"Then who do you say is appropriate?"

"In my opinion, it is better to be directly promoted to Okamura Ningji as the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Battle."

"Okamura Ninji is a dry rice bucket, no."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, he was chosen for two reasons. First, since the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan, he has been serving as the chief of the general staff of the battle, and he is the person who is most familiar with the real battle situation. Second, if the main force of his 11th Army in the Battle of Wuhan this time, if he is the commander of others, he can maximize the energy of the 11th Army, which is conducive to the next step of the Battle of Wuhan. ”

"Yo Xi, that's really true when you say that. Then, according to your wishes, immediately promote Okamura Ninji to the rank of general and save the commander of the Wuhan Battle. Tell him that if he doesn't fight well, bring him up. ”

Emperor Hirohito was angry, but when it came to the Battle of Wuhan, he was not sloppy at all. The two points that Kiichiro Hiranuma explained to him are enough to show that the current battle of Wuhan can only be handled by Okamura Ninji, and only he is the most suitable for now. If other people were to be sent from the mainland, it would take some time, second, the people who were re-sent were not familiar with the whole situation at all, and third, the new ones would have no prestige in the army, and there would inevitably be loopholes in the deployment of troops, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

In order to take care of the overall situation, he can only be promoted to Okamura Ninji, as for what happens in the future, that is a matter for the future.

"Report, base camp telegram."

"Reading"

"The base camp ordered, promoted to chief of staff to general, immediately took over the position of commander of the Wuhan battle, and was responsible for the entire Wuhan battle."

"Congratulations to Your Excellency Commander on his promotion to general."

Hearing the order of the base camp, the other generals in the headquarters immediately stepped forward to congratulate Okamura Ninji, congratulating him on his promotion to general and the commander of the Battle of Wuhan.

However, Okamura Ninji was really not happy, and the current battle of Wuhan seemed to have the advantage of the empire, but in fact there were many problems. However, if there is an unexpected situation behind the south, it is estimated that the second battle of Wuhan will be lost.
