988 Japan's "February Revolution" IV. Saving the country with a curve

"That's what you need. 1 (1) "Touyama Mitsuru, who looked like an old Tokushao, cautiously handed a box to Admiral Seishiro Itagaki who was kneeling in front of him. After taking the box, General Itagaki couldn't wait to open the lid and saw a thick stack of bound documents inside, and the words "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty" were printed on the cover of this stack of documents!

The old man's complexion looks quite good. Apparently very satisfied with this "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty", he touched his beard and smiled: "It has the signature of Chinese President Luo Yiqun, and the Russian Empress has also signed it as a notary, which is safe enough from a diplomatic point of view." Minister Nagata and Marshal Okamura should be relieved now? By the way, are Itagaki-kun, Minister Nagata, and Marshal Okamura really not going to participate in the new government? The future of a new Japan will require the joint efforts of all parties. β€οΌŒ

Itagaki raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes: "Mr. Toyama...... Not only Minister Nagata and Marshal Okamura were leaving Japan, but even the students were soon leaving, and although the overthrow of the current government was a last resort, as soldiers, we really could not stand idly by while all this was happening, and all we could do was leave. ”

Tou Shan was stunned and sighed softly: "The old man also knows that this incident is rebellious...... But the war was fought like this, but the great god refused to admit defeat, and if it continued like this, it was not a war that was lost, but the vitality of the entire nation. Speaking of this, the old guy's face had sunk: "Itagaki-kun." If there is a coup d'Γ©tat here in Tokyo. Mr. North and some revolutionary aspirants support the establishment of the new emperor, I wonder if they can be recognized by the army units stationed in the mainland? Now I'm worried about making it like the Russian Revolution...... If there is a civil war, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Itagaki smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's hard to say...... Maybe we will become a figure like Emperor Go-Daigo today, and Japan will also fall into the new Warring States, and then we will be national thieves who will be stinking for thousands of years! ”

With a snap, Toushan slapped the coffee table in front of him heavily, and looked at Itagaki coldly: "Itagaki-kun, please cheer up, what we are doing now is saving the country!" It is not for personal power, how can it be compared with the likes of Ashikaga Takashi? ”

Itagaki stood up and bowed to Toushan: "The student understands the painstaking work of Mr. When the students and Nagata-kun arrived in Hawaii, they would naturally explain everything to His Majesty, hoping to obtain His Majesty's understanding. ”

"Your Majesty...... I don't know what you people think, but you really take him as a god! Toushan said with a look of contempt: "Even if it is a saint like the Meiji Emperor." At the beginning, he was just a puppet in the hands of the Sachang faction, why did you ......?"

Seishiro Itagaki shook his head with a wry smile, these people all grew up in Japan after the Meiji Restoration, and they were educated by the emperor since they were children, and of course they can't be compared with the people left over from the shogunate era like Toyama Mitsuru ideologically. However, most of the stalwarts of the Japanese army and navy are now full of loyal thoughts. If the god of Hawaii had issued a decree to accuse the new government that had come to power in a coup d'Γ©tat as a rebel and call on the army loyal to the emperor to fight against it, Japan would really be in the abyss from which it will never recover!

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Sir, Your Majesty will know our hardships, if Your Majesty must issue an edict to rebel, then student." And Nagata-kun and Okamura-kun are ready to die! That's the only thing we can do. In the future, I can only get rid of the worries of the teacher and Mr. Bei. ”

Tokyo Asakusa, the private residence of the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumihiro Konoe.

Kenkichi Yoshizawa's car stopped in front of the mansion, which had miraculously survived the bombing (in fact, there was an order not to allow it to be bombed). When the former Japanese minister to China got out of the car, the first thing he saw was the officers and men of the Guards Division standing guard at the gate. The Type 38 rifle was topped with shiny bayonets, but there was a hint of confusion in the eyes of the soldiers. **
