"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to abandon Japan and go into exile in the United States. His Majesty the Emperor has already nodded. If they all give up on Japan, then Japan will be finished. Yuan Jing said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to rely on the power of the United States and Britain to restore the country, that is impossible. China is in the midst of rapid development. They will get stronger and stronger. Even the United States does not dare to say that it is necessarily stronger than China. In the entire Eastern world, China is the hegemon. Even if the United States and the United Kingdom and other Western powers join forces, it will be very difficult to defeat China. What's more, China's huge population and strong industrial power can easily arm the world's most powerful army. This can completely make China invincible. Therefore, after China destroyed Japan this time, we have no chance of recovering our country at all. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a look of despair.

"Your Excellency, what should I do? In previous meetings, I also made a proposal to surrender to China. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take it. Yuan Jing said.

The public hope of Xiyuan Temple was silent. In the hinterland of Saionji Kobo, in addition to him, there are two people, Wakatsuki Reijiro and Hamaguchi Yukio, who are also members of the Constitutional Political Friendship Association, and their political ideas are the same as Saionji Kobo.

"If the crown prince does this, he will harm Japan. If His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had fled to the United States and formed a government-in-exile there, they would certainly have tried to provoke a conflict between the Japanese and the Chinese garrisons. With the temper of the Chinese, they are bound to go on a killing spree. When the time comes, the whole of Japan will be bloody. Rejiro Wakatsuki looked angry.

"Yes! China is too strong. Although, the Japanese Empire was also stronger than China at one time. However, in the end, it turned out to be just a flash in the pan. For thousands of years, China has been the hegemon of the Eastern world. The Great Japanese Empire wanted to challenge China every time. However, in the end, it all ended in failure. Therefore, only by actively participating in the vassal system established by China and following China can we have a place in the world in the future. Yukio Hamaguchi also said.

These people have been defeated by China again and again in Japan. At the same time, Britain, France, the United States, and other countries have armed Japan again and again, using Japan as a pawn. After seeing such a situation, they naturally could no longer accept such a situation.

"Hamaguchi-kun is right, being an enemy of China will only lead to our complete destruction. Only by following China can Japan have hope for the future. Japan has been a vassal state of China for thousands of years, and we should not betray China when we see it temporarily decline. History has proven countless times that there is absolutely no way out. Yuan Jing also said.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely blinded by those short-sighted guys. The Americans and the British don't want to take advantage of us. That would not be beneficial to Japan. Only by following China can Japan have a future. ”

"So, Your Excellency, what are we going to do next? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and those guys have already made up their minds, and it's almost impossible for us to stop them. Yuan Jing said.

Several people's faces were solemn, if Emperor Taisho and Crown Prince Hirohito were allowed to flee to the United States. Then, there will be no more stable days in Japan in the future. In order to strengthen its control over Japan, China will also deploy a large number of troops in Japan. When the time comes, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground because of this. And this is definitely not what these ministers want to see.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one way to stop His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from leaving Japan." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"What's the solution?" Yuan Jing and the others asked.

"Secretly, I revealed this matter to the Chinese. When the time comes, the Chinese will definitely try to stop His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. Although, doing so is undoubtedly a betrayal of royalty. However, he believes that this is very beneficial to the entire Japanese nation. Between the imperial family and the Japanese people, he chose the Japanese people.

"Revealed to the Chinese?" Yuan Jing and the others were stunned. Although, they all believe that following China is the only way out for Japan. However, asking them to contact the Chinese at this time made them hesitate. After all, that would be tantamount to betrayal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have no other choice now. His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Japan and fled to the United States, which was simply a conspiracy by Britain and the United States and other Western powers. They continue to want Japan to be a pawn and continue to enslave us. If their plot succeeds, Japan will face a never-ending battle in the future. When the time comes, it is not known how many Japanese will be killed. So, we had no choice. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang persuaded him.

After Yuan Jing and the others thought about it, they also knew that there was no way to do it.

"Your Excellency, Koshigaya has the 1st Guards Division. This is one of Japan's most elite troops. With their protection, the possibility of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaping is undoubtedly much greater. Rejiro Wakatsuki said.

"The 1st Guards Division? The division commander, Tian Zhongzhong, was loyal to the royal family. However, the 1st Infantry Guards Wing and the 4th Infantry Guards Wing were under the control of our Constitutional Friends. If His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insist on going their own way, then for the sake of the entire Japanese people, we will have to stop them with all our might. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

With Saionji Gongwang's influence in Japan, there is no problem at all in influencing some troops. Even an army loyal to the royal family, such as the Guards Division, can be controlled. After all, the influence of the Constitutional Friends Association in Japan is also very terrifying. Especially after the other patriarchs passed away one by one, others had no way to compare their influence with the public prestige of Xiyuan Temple. In such a situation, it is very easy for Xiyuan Temple to influence some troops.

"If we can control the two infantry wings of the 1st Guards Division, then our chances of victory are even greater. Yuan Jun, among the palace guards, how much can you influence? Yukio Hamaguchi asked.

"The palace guards are almost all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. However, in this case, it is necessary to buy them. Not a problem. After all, if His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fled to the United States, it would be impossible to take them all with them. When the time comes, if the Chinese want to liquidate them, they will all die. We can use this to threaten them and put them on our side. The head of the palace guard, Naotoshi Hasegawa, the chief of the guard, is a smart man. Yuan Jing said.

"In that case, it should be foolproof." Xiyuan Temple Gongwanglu had a relieved expression.

"Your Excellency, in that case, can we negotiate terms with the Chinese? We must have a place in the future Japanese government. Rejiro Wakatsuki said. Although, they keep saying that it is for the sake of the fate of Japan. However, there is also their own self-interest. After China destroys Japan, a new government will certainly be established in Japan. If they can hold important positions in the new government, it will not be in vain that they will be forced to become emperors.

"Negotiate conditions? Forget it. Now the Chinese have a great chance of winning, and if we negotiate conditions with them, we will only arouse their strong dissatisfaction and disgust. In that case, it would be counterproductive. In fact, as long as we show our loyalty to them, they will not treat us badly. After all, if the Chinese want to rule Japan, it is inevitable that we Japanese will need to participate in it. And by participating in it, we will be able to seek benefits for the Japanese as much as possible, so that they can live a better life and not be used by the Western world. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Yes, if they had governed Japan, Japan might have been enslaved by China, but it would have been much better. will not be provoked by the Western world and continue to act as a pawn against the Chinese Empire. In this way, you can reduce a lot of losses.

Hara Kei, Reijiro Wakatsuki and Yukio Hamaguchi and others all practiced nodding. They also know that none of the things that Xiyuan Temple Gongwang considers should be thoughtful. If they make a great contribution this time, the Chinese side will never treat them badly in the future. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of those Japanese who want to defect to China, and it will not be conducive to the future rule of the empire in Japan.

"Alright, guys, let's all go back and get ready. The palace guards and the 1st Guards Division must be in contact. In addition, we need to closely monitor the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other ministers, as well as the ambassadors of Britain, France, and the United States. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"Hey, Senator." Yuan Jing and the others hurriedly said.

"Gentlemen, our actions may be infamous. However, we are thinking about the future of the Great Japanese Empire. In the future, the Japanese people will surely understand our painstaking efforts. Therefore, in this operation, we can only win, not lose. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said solemnly.

Yuan Jing and the others all nodded heavily.

When Crown Prince Hirohito and the ministers who supported him wanted to flee Japan and go into exile in the United States, Saionji Gongwang and others also took action. They believe that their views are the only way out for Japan, and that they can save Japan. For this reason, they did not hesitate to inform the Chinese side of the actions of Crown Prince Hirohito and others, so that the Chinese side could find a way to prevent Emperor Taisho and Crown Prince Hirohito from fleeing Japan.

Of course, this is also a letter of submission from Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple and others to the Chinese Empire. (To be continued.) )
