The next day, Yang Ziren took office, and his first task was to go to the disaster area to inspect the sowing and distribution of disaster grain. By the way, he needs to put forward suggestions and suggestions for improvement, and these things are almost at his fingertips for Yang Ziren.

At this time, it was almost a month, and Japan suddenly announced that it was going to hold a year-end military exercise. This made Tu Qianjun's army in Manchuria very vigilant, and he ordered all the troops on the front line of the Yalu River to be vigilant!

You must know that the Japanese have not used the name of "exercises" to start wars! Therefore, vigilance is a must.

However, Tu Qianjun didn't know that this army exercise was really not aimed at him. Instead, he went to the current Prime Minister Minoru Saito! After the army learned of Toyama Shuzo's plan, he chose to cooperate without hesitation.

They first announced that they were going to hold the exercise, and then through some connections, they transferred the pass to Shuizo Toyama. Although the Army can't kill Minoru Saito by himself, if someone is willing to do it, then the Army is naturally optimistic!

In order to keep Japan's economy sustainable, Minoru Saito, who has gray hair, would never have imagined that he would face another assassination!

In Tokyo, Japan, a manor house on the outskirts of Japan looks very quiet in the snow. This is a very typical Japanese-style manor, and on the plaque outside the door, there are two words inscribed in regular script - "Tao An"!

People throughout Japanese politics know that the pottery is the name of Saionji Gongwang. And here, it is a suburban manor belonging to the Xiyuan Temple family. In the manor, an old man with a white face and beard lowered his eyes and seemed to be sleepy, leaning on the soft bed behind the tatami screen.

In front of the screen, a man in his thirties, dressed in a kimono, knelt respectfully.

"Mitsui, are you sure about this......" After a long time, the old man behind the screen said slowly to the man in front of the screen with a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, the man lowered his body and replied respectfully: "The villain guarantees with his life, this matter is absolutely not wrong!" Don't dare to deceive ......"

The old man behind the screen slowly got up at this time, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes! After a long time, he said slowly: "Inform Prime Minister Saito of this matter, as well as the Ministry of the Navy!" ”

"Some people have gone above and beyond their duty. Such acts should be stopped and punished in any case. If everyone messes around, won't the country be ruined?! ”

"Hay!" The man who bent down answered loudly, and the old man who had just stood up seemed a little overwhelmed. He sat down again. He whispered to the man in front of the screen, "Go down!" I'm tired......"

The man didn't dare to slack off, and slowly exited the room after answering. After leaving the room, he respectfully closed the door slowly. The old man leaned slowly back on the cushion. The cloudy eyes slowly closed. But I don't know if I'm really asleep or sleepy.

More than an hour later, the man appeared at Minoru Saito's home. After listening to this man's words, Minoru Saito's face turned pale! After being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice to the man: "Thank you for me, my lord, I will take care of this matter!" Please rest assured! ”

"Then, I'll take my leave!" The man bowed solemnly to Minoru Saito. He said in a deep voice: "I hope the Prime Minister will be careful!" ”

After saying that, the man bowed deeply, then got up and quietly retreated.

Saito pondered for a long time in this room, then went to his study and picked up a phone in a hidden place and dialed a number. After a while, the phone was picked up.

"I'm Saito, and Lord Saionji sent someone to inform me that it seems that someone is going to disfavor me." Minoru Saito said in a deep voice into the phone, "Inform my colleagues, I don't want our current situation to be ruined!" Those who try to sabotage, need to be punished! ”

As he spoke, Minoru Saito paused and said in a deep voice, "Pay attention to controlling the situation and don't cause a conflict with the Ministry of War." I don't want to cause something bigger. It's good for these people to be cleaned up secretly......"

After speaking, Minoru Saito slowly hung up the phone.

At this time, Shuizo Toyama didn't know that his plan had been leaked, and he was carefully preparing for this assassination!

He prepared three assistants for Yushio Kodama. Four bombs! The bombs were supplied through officials from the Ministry of the Army, and they are now in the hands of Kodama Yushio.

And Toyama Shuzo prepared two pistols for Kodama Yushio in order to ensure that the assassination could be completed.

In a small hotel somewhere in Tokyo, Yushi Kodama played with the gun in his hand, and his heart gradually cooled. He could see that in fact, Touyama Shuzo hadn't thought about his safety at all!

Four bombs, and two guns! Can you get out of it with all this?! The best outcome is to be shot indiscriminately, right?! Kodama Yu Shifu sneered in his heart, Toushan...... I've followed you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be so cold-hearted!

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

At the end of December, the army's big exercises finally began! Countless soldiers waited on the exercise ground for the arrival of Minoru Saito, who was the first choice, and Yushi Kodama also went out with his pass, bomb, and pistol.

But as soon as he stepped out of his room, he was grabbed by several men. Pressed to the edge of the wall!

"You'd better not move, or we have the right to shoot you dead!" Of course, Kodama Yushio would not move, and he honestly allowed these people to take away the bombs and pistols from him.

Then he seemed to be hooked shoulders and escorted out of the hotel.

But the two assistants assigned to Yushi Kodama were not so lucky, they were dragged out of the hotel and thrown into the car of the Navy Province with their joints broken!

Fifteen minutes later, Minoru Saito received a phone call from his office. When the call was over, he left the office with his secretary with a smile.

Half an hour later. Minoru Saito appeared in the exercise grounds.

Everyone was waiting for him, although some had disgruntled expressions on their faces. But many more people are gloating with a hint of schadenfreude, and they have already received some rumors looking forward to the bloody scene of the navy-born prime minister!

Unfortunately, things didn't go the way they thought. Minoru Saito calmly finished his speech, and no one attacked him at the scene! This made Sadao Araki's heart sink gradually......

But since it is said to be a drill, then it can only be carried out head-on! This exercise was sloppy and panicked, although some officers at the grassroots level who did not know about it had made some preparations before, but the officers who knew about it at the higher level had no intention of exercising!

Fortunately, some of these officers had some actual combat experience, so they reluctantly completed the exercise. However, the officials of the entire army ministry had extremely ugly faces, but they could not say anything.

The exercise ended in a hurry, and the Minister of War announced the end of the exercise after a few random words.

Subsequently. Under the leadership of the Navy Ministry, a large number of members of the Black Dragon Society have been arrested! The police are roaming around, and all the properties of the Black Dragon Society are being monitored and checked. Mitsuru Toyama's son, Shuzo Toyama, was secretly arrested.

But all this finally relaxed after Minoru Saito received a phone call from Mitsuru Toyama, and only Kodama Yushio was sentenced to three years in prison for "assaulting the police".

But then an even bigger storm is brewing! At the beginning of January, major Japanese newspapers simultaneously published an article entitled "There is Corruption in the Stock Trading of Imperial Artificial Silk Silk!" For a while. Public opinion is in an uproar!

Some of the spearheads are directed at Minoru Saito's cabinet! This became the last straw that overwhelmed Minoru Saito, and Minoru Saito's cabinet, which had been questioned because of the "Ashikaga Zunji Praise Theory" and the "Ming Sugar Incident", finally ended in a general resignation.

In the small courtyard where "Pottery An" was written, Minoru Saito, who was dressed in a neat kimono, knelt in front of the screen. And the old man behind the screen still looked sleepy and unawakened.

"Saito...... What are you going to do now......" After a long time, the old man spoke slowly. There was a hint of old age in his hoarse voice. Minoru Saito, who was kneeling in front of the screen, bowed deeply to the screen.

Saito is ashamed to cultivate to an old gentleman! I was ashamed...... "The old man behind the screen slowly sat up, and said to the screen: "I don't blame you, in fact, it's embarrassing to make you work so hard......"

As he spoke, the old man paused and said in a deep voice, "Those horse manure from the Army Province. I know what they think! But this will lead the empire to ruin! This is absolutely not allowed, and you are now gone. So who will take your place?! ”

Minoru Saito slowly straightened up, and said in a deep voice to the screen: "I had expected this situation before, so I told Toyamamitsu about it." He will support Okada-kun as my successor......"

The old man behind the screen slowly lay down when he heard this, and said in a satisfied whisper: "Keisuke Okada?!" Not...... That's a good candidate, at least better than the army manure......"

Minoru Saito released Shuizo Toyama and gave Kodama a light sentence. But the requirement for Toushanman is that once there is a toppling cabinet, Toushanman must support his nominee.

The army is now even using assassination. Then it shows that they desperately want to fall on their own! Therefore, Minoru Saito has mapped out a way back for his possible crisis.

Keisuke Okada is the person he picked. On seniority, this Japanese admiral. After graduating from the Naval University, he participated in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and was also a Minister of the Navy in the Cabinet. However, in May, I retired because I reached the age.

Therefore, the Ministry of War cannot find any thorns in any aspect.

"Tomorrow I will propose to the emperor, let's do things well in the future......" After a moment of silence, the old man behind the screen said hoarsely to Minoru Saito. Minoru Saito, who was in front of the screen, slowly bowed his head, and then exited the room.

On December 26, 1932, Minoru Saito's cabinet announced his resignation. On the same day, Saionji entered the Imperial Palace and recommended to Emperor Showa the former Minister of the Navy Keisuke Okada as the new prime minister.

The emperor gave his go, and then declared Keisuke Okada the new Prime Minister of Japan! And after Keisuke Okada took office, Emperor Showa announced the reappointment of Minoru Saito as Minister of the Interior!

For a time, the entire army was outraged! But at this time, Toushan Man came out. He supported Minoru Saito's decision. The Ministry of the Army, which received the news, could only remain silent.

"Ping Pong~" a crisp sound! A hideous-looking man roared in his room: "Red deer!! Xiyuan Temple, you are an old immortal! Moths of the Empire! You want to tie the hands and feet of the Empire?! Want to tie up the hands and feet of our military department?! Don't be delusional! I won't let you get away with it!! ”

The man snorted and cursed, and in front of him sat kneeling several high-ranking officials in the military headquarters. They bowed down in silence and waited for the man to vent his anger!

After a long while, the man finally finished scolding before turning to a few soldiers who were bowing down and whispered, "I agree with your plan!" But Xiyuan Temple can't die, you can do the rest! The empire has to get back on track, and we can't let the liberals destroy the empire! ”

"Hail!!" The kneeling soldiers shouted excitedly, "We will definitely live up to the trust of our adults!" ”

At this time, Xiyuan Temple watched with satisfaction that the wishful thinking of the army province was beaten by himself, but he didn't know that the annoyed and angry army once again used the means of "going down and going up". It's also what they do best - assassination!

Subsequently, the main leaders of the "Imperial Road School" in the Japanese Army, Sadao Araki, Shizaburo Masaki and Toshishiro Obata ...... and so on quietly gathering. And the seemingly calm Tokyo is slowly flowing with an undercurrent.

Tu Qianjun, who was in Manchuria, didn't care about this now, and after learning that Kodama had been sentenced, he probably guessed what was going on in Japan. Since Japan did not want to attack Manchuria. Then Tu Qianjun didn't care how many times their prime minister was assassinated.

Anyway, the level of chaos among the Japanese is unimaginable to ordinary people, especially politics. Frequent cabinet downfalls and prime minister replacements have become the norm. Even later generations rotated wildly again.

He is now inspecting the training of armored troops in Outer Mongolia, and after several months of developing a new diesel engine, it has been completed! The engine, which had a power of 500 hp, was secretly transported to a test site in Mongolia after being mounted on a tank that had already been designed.

This tank was completely designed according to Tu Qianjun's various ideas. The appearance is very similar to the 59 style of later generations! Its armor reached 200 mm, and its weight was up to 30 tons!

It uses 12 cylinders developed by German and Manchurian engineers. The water-cooled diesel V-2 engine was used, and the gun used was a Japanese 75mm anti-aircraft gun. The car was also loaded with a 13-year-old heavy machine gun!

Many German engineers did not understand why the Tiger had developed the tank like this. But after reading the design ideas and various data, these engineers couldn't help but admire the anomaly!

The first is the experiment of artillery shells, which could not penetrate armor with a thickness of up to 200 mm, even light and heavy machine guns! And the thrust of 500 horsepower and horsepower weight ratio of 16.2 hp per ton ensures that this tank can fly!

Most importantly, for the first time, four large-diameter load-bearing wheels were used on this tank, with the driving wheels rear-mounted. There were no carrier pulleys for steering in the early tanks, and the load wheels and the body were connected with large coil springs, and the last load wheel was in a horizontal spiral state, which increased the travel of the load wheels!

While its second load wheel is in high compression, the remaining 3 load wheels are still extended. This allows it to reach a high speed of 44 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the "Christie" tank was able to move at normal speed even after the tracks were damaged. It is also faster, up to 75 km/h in good condition.

This undoubtedly shocked German engineers, who could not believe that such a design could be possible. Tu Qianjun smiled secretly in his heart. The Christie suspension system I bought back then wasn't for nothing! Isn't that what you need?!

Although the Christie tank is really not very good, his Christie suspension system is very good!

For the vehicle, off-road performance is very important, then, the suspension is the way the load wheel is connected to the car body, the suspension must be flexible enough to ensure that the load wheel has enough travel, and it must be strong enough to adapt to the needs of off-road!

There is no doubt that these two tanks are extremely capable of cross-countrying! And it has strong adaptability to various hillsides and hilly roads. Attached to diesel fuel, which is not easy to burn at normal atmospheric pressure, this tank is even able to pull his maximum range to 400 km!

The German engineers were completely dumbfounded! They never imagined that the tank would be able to be designed like this. And the oval, inclined body design that puzzled them the most also had an explanation: improve the ricochet rate!

This was extremely important, and now German engineers were almost certain that ordinary light and heavy machine guns and rifles would never be able to stop this monster. But what about anti-tank guns ?! After experimenting with several mortars, they were able to confirm that the two tanks would be able to withstand the attack of ordinary artillery!

It even has a great ricochet rate!

Good off-road ability, long-distance running ability, strong firepower...... And so on, and finally this tank came together!

The birth of this tank also attracted the attention of a German officer who was studying at the National Defense University, and then the German generals who came to teach at the National Defense University secretly came to the steppe in Outer Mongolia to observe the experiment of this tank.

What these generals didn't know, of course, was that they were accompanied by a major from the United States - Eisenhower! It's just that they just walked on the front foot, and Eisenhower came over on the back foot.

"Ike. How's my tank?! Isn't that great? Tu Qianjun and Eisenhower held binoculars to watch the tank gallop on the hills of the steppe, and the speeding tank even opened fire in the air and directly hit the armored vehicle as a target!

"Boom!!" The armored car was blown into a cloud of sparks under Eisenhower's cautious gaze, and the major slowly put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun beside him: "Brother Meng Ben, I have to say that you are a genius!" This tank will go down in history in the future! (To be continued)
