Chapter 701: Madness (3)

"Hurry up, something happened, something happened! Look over there, it's an officer of the Guards Division. More than a hundred officers poured murderously towards the War Headquarters. Countless eyes followed these young men with blood bands on their heads and shirtless in battle.

How long has it been since you saw this spirit and vigor? Since the Great Kanto Earthquake, the spirit of the whole country in Japan seems to have been drained, and now I can finally see it again! Those who were dissatisfied with the status quo chanted that the spirit of chrysanthemums and swords returned, but more people shrunk their necks and bent their heads and did not dare to look more, and the elders even remembered the bloody 5-night. They don't understand, the country is already like this, what else can't let go of the need to fight? Does the road to a strong country have to be forged with the blood of one's own people?

The Emperor's officers rushed towards the War Headquarters like a dark cloud, and the inside of the War Headquarters was also full of sparks. Lin Mijuro sat in the middle, his face gloomy and he could almost hold out the water. Toyohiko Yoshida no longer had the majesty of the day at the Nakajima Aircraft Factory, and he was silent in deep thought, but Shizaburo Mazaki was not afraid to look at him, like a fierce lion that refused to bow his head.

This scene made the air in the conference room almost stagnant, and the officers next to him did not dare to come out. Toyohiko Yoshida and Shizaburo Masaki are generals, but Hayashi Milling Juro is a land minister! The top leader of the Japanese army of hundreds of thousands! What's more, behind him is Watanabe Shotaro, the adjutant of the late Duke Aritomo of Yamaguchi, who is known as the back of Yama Prefecture, and Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Family, who is now one of the most powerful people in Japan.

But Mazaki Shizaburo refused to bow his head, he lost a move when he was competing for the land minister, and even if he didn't do it for himself today, he couldn't let the "villain" succeed. "I'm fighting for the future of the Imperial Japanese Army!" He shouted loudly, looking excited: "The revival of the empire cannot be achieved by the navy. 40 years ago, we defeated the Qing State barefoot and froze to get North Korea! Thirty years ago, it was our army who puffed up their chests and followed General Dashan Iwa to rush at Lucia's machine guns and cannons with flesh and blood, and played a great national prestige for the empire! Now it's just two minor setbacks, do you have to accept such humiliation? If it weren't for our army, wouldn't the foreigners and ghosts be so good at colonizing and bullying? Hundreds of thousands of young heroic spirits, in exchange for such treatment! Shame, this is a shame, a shame to our Great Japanese Empire! This must change, we are the brave men who will truly expand the territory of the empire and sacrifice their lives for the well-being of tens of millions of Japanese people!

Cheer up! Yang Qiu was already intoxicated with his dream of a great power, and those people only knew how to make a face, and the industrial fair and the sports meeting would allow them to divide their energy, and this was the time for the empire to catch up. There should be no compromise, we should fight for the interests of our army, recruit warriors to rearm for war, and wash away the shame of two defeats with blood. His words were so impassioned that tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes. This appearance made all the officers clench their fists, and many of them followed with red eyes. Only Nagata Tetsuyama, who was sitting in the corner, trembled with anger, and looked coldly at the shouting Mazaki Shizaburo, and killed fiercely.

Although his military rank is lower than that of many people here, he, the director of the Military Affairs Bureau, is really popular today.

He was very annoyed when he learned of the resumption of the land-sea dispute, and although he was also an army, he knew better that Japan's only hope was the navy. Because he knew that Yang Qiu's henchmen were not in trouble with Japan, but with the Soviet Union! Therefore, the strategy he devised was to use limited resources to concentrate on building the largest navy in the Pacific region, and to unswervingly implement the strategy of attacking the south while making peace with China.

As long as it takes the Dutch East Indies, Japan will have enough depth to march south to India to join the Soviet army, lock China firmly in the South China Sea, and to the west to threaten Taiwan and the Chinese coast, and to cut off American support through Rabaul and Truk.

And this period of time is just enough for Japan to absorb the wealth of the South Seas, and even if the United States comes to attack, there will be room for self-protection. Moreover, from the previous situation, the United States has become wary of China, and it is still unknown whether it will intervene in the three-country war between Japan and the Soviet Union. As long as it lasts for two to three years, China, which lacks foreign aid, will be moribund, if not dead. But the original perfect plan was messed up by the fact that Mazaki Shizaburo and others competed for military spending, not to mention that the navy would be insufficient after the military expenditure was apportioned, and the excessive expansion of the army alone would cause Yang Qiu's vigilance, and if China had a heavy army and Vladivostok and Korea, then the victory of the southward advance would likely be consumed on land.

He has clearly seen that for Yang Qiu, the interests of the mainland are the most important, and he can even temporarily sacrifice the hard-won Natuna and Saudi Arabia, after all, the Soviet Union is his biggest opponent. However, once China and the Soviet Union open a long distance, it will take several times the efforts of both sides, and it will not be possible to distinguish the winner from the loser in two or three years, so as long as the army is not developed, this veil will not be torn, and even Yang Qiu's psychology of avoiding fighting on two fronts can be used to delay the signing of a peace treaty.

Two or three years! Even if a first-class power like Britain and the United States fights at their doorstep for two or three years, it will be unbearable, let alone China, which has been cut off from external support by Japan? By the time China and the Soviet Union were both defeated, Japan, which had been recuperating and recuperating, completely stabbed itself in the southeast coast and completely overthrew the evil Yang Qiu government! But now ̈ ̈ this strategy is already in jeopardy under the skin of Shinzaburo Mazaki's chattering VF! Once the army is grown, it will be impossible to deceive China.

No way! No, it has to be stopped!

Thinking of this, a wave of enthusiasm rushed straight to Nagata Tieshan's head, and he got up and shouted categorically: "Lu Xiang! Admiral Masaki is not right to say this! Advancing south is the only hope of the empire, and developing the navy is a top priority! Our army cannot be expanded at this time, this will only attract the vigilance of Yang Qiu, we should go to seek peace with China, sign a peace treaty with him, and should not rush to expand the military spending. Yaga! Smack! ”

Before Nagata Tieshan finished speaking, two hot slaps slammed into his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth suddenly became sweet and bloody. The two slaps of Masaki Shizaburo used all their strength, and the other party couldn't make a sound before he roared angrily: "Nagata Tetsuyama!" What do you mean? Don't forget, you're also in the Army! Are you going to betray?! Do you think we're all too old to know about your little machinations? You gave all the money from the Soviet trade to the navy, and you embezzled to the navy the military money that belonged to our army, and you colluded with Okamura to enslave the people and help the navy build seaports and fortresses in Rabaul and New Guinea. You, do you know how many tanks you can buy with this money? Do you still have army honor in your eyes, and you are still not wearing an army uniform! ”

This rebuke is even flesh and blood, which can be said to be very severe, and even deprives Nagata Tieshan of his army status. Thinking that he had been planning hard for the only remaining glimmer of life over the years, and did not hesitate to offend his colleagues to help the Navy expand its southward base, but in exchange for such accusations and insults. Looking at the eyes of his colleagues around him, one or two were full of anger and anger, which made him feel even more discouraged, at this time, he couldn't help but think of Ishihara Wan'er, who mysteriously disappeared more than twenty years ago, and secretly thought that maybe only that kind of genius can understand his own heart, right?

The insults continued, and the eyes around him couldn't stand his good temper, so he retorted with a stiff neck: "General Mazaki, please don't insult my work!" Advancing south is the last chance for the Empire, but not a national war! The real national war can only be held after the southward advance is digested! Only by obtaining the resources and space of the South Seas can we negotiate with countries like Mi Yingchina to the end. There is no way for us to fly over, we can only rely on the navy. But going south will clash with Britain, with the United States, and even with the China Navy! Didn't everyone see the Saudi crisis a few years ago? Britain dispatched more than twenty warships, and also used the most powerful of all, the Rodney, so the Imperial Navy must have an overwhelming advantage! Now the empire's national strength can no longer support land and sea at the same time, so we must know how to make trade-offs. It is too late to grow the navy first, and then to develop the army after defeating the British army in the South Seas and obtaining resources, and for this goal, we should first reduce the army and sue for peace with China. ”

After Nagata Tetsuyama finished speaking in one breath, his heart finally felt a little happier. But Masaki Shizaburo's gaze became more and more fierce when he looked at him, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You traitor, you actually want to sue for peace with Yang Qiu, and you have lost all the companies of the Imperial Japanese Army!" You scum of the Army ̈. ”

"Shut up!"

When Masaki Shizaburo was about to continue to insult, Hayashi Mijuro, who could no longer sit still, slapped the table hard. He's also on fire, he's on fire! The dignified Japanese Emperor's ** Department has actually become a place for shrews to scold the street, what kind of system has it become. But no sooner had he stood up than the door to the conference room was kicked open, and everyone turned to see a large group of young officers with samurai blood on their heads rushing in. This made him even more angry, and roared, "Yaga! Who are you? This is the Ministry of the Army, who let you come in without permission! Gendarme, where is the gendarmerie. ”

Aizawa Saburo and these people were actually outside the door for a long time, originally they still maintained the last trace of calm, hoping to find Lu Xiang and Mazaki Shizaburo after the meeting, but they didn't want to hear that Nagata Tetsuyama betrayed the army and was ready to sue for peace with Yang Qiu, and also helped the navy embezzle the army's military funds.

This Aizawa Saburo was originally a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now his pupils were bloodshot, and the anger of the puppet went straight to his head, regardless of whether he was the land minister or the military affairs chief, he suddenly pulled out the hidden bayonet from his pants: "Heaven is punished!" Accept the punishment, you thieves! With a shout, he stabbed Xue Liang's bayonet into Hayashi Juro's stomach.

Everyone was stunned! Even Mazaki Shizaburo forgot to stop it, and by the time he reacted, Saburo Aizawa had already drawn his knife and turned to Nagata Tetsuyama. "Traitors, God punish you traitors." The bayonet, with a blood line, stabbed it again.

With a fierce knife, he stabbed into the ribs of Nagata Iron Mountain.

The severe pain made him suddenly numb, and a famous Chinese saying suddenly came to mind that he died before he got out of school. I really don't want to die!
