Chapter 718: The Wind Stirs the Clouds
In the history of World War II, especially for Japan in World War II, many people will deliberately ignore a question: how much control does Hirohito or the Japanese imperial family have over the army and the country?!
If there was one answer to this question, the answer would be: very much!
Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace, who has served in the Japanese army for more than half a century! He became the youngest Japanese Field Marshal, while at the same time he served as Chief of Staff from 1931 until 1940.
Even after his resignation, he was transferred to the position of military senator and senior adviser to Emperor Showa.
What is less well known in the Navy is that the Minister of the Navy, Okaku Censheng, was forced to transfer operational command from the Navy Ministry to the Military Command Department; tore up the London Naval Treaty, dismissed a large number of naval generals of the treaty faction, and actively strengthened the navy together with Nagano Shu Chapter 718 Wind and Cloud Body; Sent a fleet to attack China during the July 7 Incident...... The promoter of this series of things is the current Japanese Marshal Admiral and Chief of the Naval Command Department: King Hiroko Fushimi Palace!
The rulers of the army and navy are all members of the royal family! And the shadow behind them was Hirohito, who was faintly visible.
What is even less known is that the father of King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong is the former Japanese field marshal - Prince Fushimi Miyaya Sadachi! The real fact is that the Japanese Imperial Family has been controlling the military! Both the navy and the army have never been out of the control of the royal family.
In the entire World War II, it can even be said that Hirohito knew all the combat orders and all the execution strategies!
Because they not only control the top but also the commanders below, such as the commander of the newly formed 2nd Army for the war, who is also a member of the royal family! The commander of the second army was Minoru Higashikure, the ninth son of Prince Asahiko Kunomiya and the uncle of Emperor Showa!
And the current King Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace will also be sent to China. On the naval side, the commander of the Kasumigaura Air Force was commanded by Vice Admiral Asahiro King Kurenomiya of Kurenomiya.
Throughout the war, the shadow of Hirohito and the Japanese imperial family has been flashing Chapter 718 Wind and clouds! It was only in the later stages of the war that Hirohito began to realize that the situation was not good, so the members of the imperial family continued to withdraw from the army, in order to blame themselves after the war.
It has to be said that Hirohito's purpose was achieved. Even after the war, although the investigation clearly pointed out that the Japanese Imperial Family commanded the army and ordered the army to start the war, the entire Japanese Imperial Family completely escaped punishment.
Not a single member of the royal family was put on trial. Although it was clear that they had started the war and even ordered the air attack on Pearl Harbor, they were still not punished in any way.
It's really because of this extremely large amount of control that Xianyuan Palace confidently thinks that he can easily make Matsui Ishine "sick". Even if Matsui Shigen is unwilling, he must be "sick".
Because the imperial family needed him to be "sick" so that King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who was a member of the imperial family, could enter the battlefield and take power. If he is not willing to "get sick". Then the chief of staff will take the examination of the palace and let him go back to the reserves.
October 20, Mukden.
There is no negotiation of verbal swords, and there is no contest between the open and the covert. Everything seemed so natural, Blyukhel looked at the contract with a pale face, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Marshal Blyukhel, this is our final opinion. If Mr. Stalin wishes, then you will get what you want by signing this document. ”
Tu Qianjun lit the contract on the table and said softly, "You can ask Mr. Stalin first." But I don't want this to drag on too long. ”
Slowly put down the contract, Blyukhel didn't raise his eyes to look at Tu Qianjun and said to himself: "Do we have a choice......
After muttering to himself, he trembled and slowly signed his name on the contract. The moment his name was signed, Blyukhel felt as if his soul had been pulled out! The whole person has lost all his strength!
The Treaty of Aihui initially ceded nearly 600,000 square kilometers of land on the Ussuri River at that time, but this treaty was not confirmed at the time. And the Qing Empire's Heilongjiang general Aixin Jueluo who signed the treaty. Yishan does not have this permission at all.
This contract is illegal, and the Qing government is relatively backbone and does not admit it. But in the end, in the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing", the Qing government was forced to recognize the "Aihui Treaty", and at the same time, the territory that was ceded increased by 400,000!
In other words, it was nothing more than a treaty, and the Qing government ended up burying a million square kilometers of land!
And now. This more than one million square kilometers of land will be directly recovered by Tu Qianjun. Stalin was given a total of 1,500 fighters and more than 300 tanks, with 10 million rounds of ammunition.
In the history of China and Russia. There has always been a great deal of controversy between the two sides about the north of the Ussuri River. Both the USSR and Russia, and later Russia, in fact, considered this their territory.
They believe that this is the territory that Tsarist Russia and Kangxi were defeated in the Nebuchu War and forced to cede that year. It is because they have always claimed that the Treaty of Nebuchu was an unequal treaty. In their view, the Treaty of Aihui was merely a reclaim of territory.
But in our opinion, the Treaty of Nebuchu Kangxi has already given great concessions. The Treaty of Aihui and the subsequent Treaty of Beijing, this is what they are using!
Blyuhel's previous proposal to return the 400,000 square kilometers of land in the Treaties of Beijing and Aihui was in fact based on this view.
However, when Tu Qianjun brought the contract, it was not 400,000, but more than 1 million! Including more than 1 million square kilometers of land before and after the "Beijing Treaty" and the "Aihui Treaty"!
Blyukhel's mouth was full of bitterness, could he refuse?! By radio, he had already received a call from Stalin. Stalin told him that, according to information about their development of an inner line in Trotsky's troops, Germany was ready to intensify assistance to Trotsky.
And their negotiations were going on in secret, although it was not known what price Trotsky would give or how many weapons he would get, but if they got more weapons. This was not good news for Stalin.
Under this pressure, Stalin and Blyukhel had no choice. Either they will be completely defeated by Trotsky, or they will fight back in exchange for weapons!
Seeing that Blyukhel signed on it, Tu Qianjun smiled slightly! He also picked up a pen and signed on it, and then said softly: "Your signature is not enough, I still need Mr. Stalin's signature." ”
Blyukhel's face turned green when he heard this. He said fiercely: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, please don't go too far!" We have agreed to such conditions, what do you want?! ”
"I am not at ease without Mr. Stalin's autograph." Tu Qianjun smiled and said softly, "But you can rest assured that our weapons will be sent to the border first." As long as Mr. Stalin signs, the first batch of weapons will be in your hands. ”
The contract clearly stated that the Wehrmacht would hand over weapons to Stalin in five batches, with the first batch of 600 fighters, 100 tanks, and 1 million rounds of ammunition.
"Of course, Your Excellency Marshal can first take the contract back and discuss it with Mr. Stalin." Tu Qianjun smiled faintly and said softly: "I'm not in a hurry......"
And when Blyukhel bitterly had to sign this agreement, Trotsky and others, who were far away in Germany, were in the same mood as Blyukhel.
Germany's request was simple, they wanted ten oil wells. And it is a demand for full mining rights and tax exemptions, and at the same time for the right to mine iron ore and rare metals in Ukraine!
These demands made Trotsky's heart tremend. But he also knew that he was already riding a tiger. Now either Stalin will be annihilated, or they will be torn apart by Stalin. There is no other way to go.
Within the Trotsky regime, most of them were Stalin's sworn enemies. If they did not escape, then what awaited them was undoubtedly shot.
Stalin's approach has forced both sides to the point of not ending to the death.
"I hope that Mr. Trotsky will give careful consideration to our opinions." German Foreign Minister Joachim, who was in charge of negotiating with Trotsky, was in charge of the negotiations. Feng. Ribbentrop was not at all polite.
"According to our information, now Stalin is seeking to buy more weapons from the Wehrmacht of the three eastern provinces. Although it is not known what price they paid, according to our information they demanded at least a thousand fighters and more than two hundred tanks. ”
As he spoke, Ribbentrop shrugged his shoulders and said with a seemingly relaxed attitude: "Believe me, Stalin's weapons are definitely not just for decoration." ”
Trotsky hesitated, he did not know whether he should sell the resources to the Germans. What he fears is that if he does this, he will become a sinner for the entire Soviet Union!
Sell your country's resources and even mining rights, but the weapons you get are fighting with your own people! However, if you don't do this, the consequences will be foolish, even fools can imagine!
"Can I discuss this with my comrades......" After a long silence, Trotsky rubbed his forehead and whispered: "I cannot make decisions on this matter alone......
Ribbentrop nodded in understanding, and when he wanted to say something, the secretary hurriedly walked in, handed Ribbentrop a telegram with a very serious face, and whispered something.
Ribbentrop picked up the telegram and looked at it, then smiled and handed it to Trotsky and the others.
"You are still hesitating whether to hand over the oil fields to us, and Stalin has a lot more hands than you! He had already agreed with the tiger in the three eastern provinces that he would return more than one million square kilometers of land before and after the "Beijing Treaty" and the "Aihui Treaty" to the three eastern provinces free of charge......"
Trotsky and the others turned pale when they heard this, and their lips trembled for a while before they roared: "Stalin!! You traitor!! ”rq!!!
