Saionji's words made Hirohito's whole person languish. Hirohito couldn't accept that when he took over the empire from his father, he was so prosperous, and at one point he even thought that Rì would have truly become a first-class power on an equal footing with Europe and the United States in his hands.

However, the reality is harsh. His ambitious attempt pushed Rì Ben to occupy Asia first, and then gradually expand to Europe based on Asia.

But before he could do it, the first step he took was hit. The Kwantung Army's operations in the Tohoku at that time, Hirohito was not unaware of it.

But his idea was simple: if the matter was successful, then Rì would take advantage of the situation to occupy the rich northeast region. Then, on this basis, they gradually occupied the whole of China.

Even if he fails, it will not hinder his prestige. After all, this is the private action of the Kwantung Army, and you can pretend not to know about it, and finally decide how to deal with it depending on the situation.

It's a pity that a tiger slayer has emerged in this plane. The wishful thinking of the Kwantung Army and Hirohito was shattered, and the Kwantung Army was almost completely annihilated, and finally could only survive in Korea.

Hirohito, on the other hand, had to accept the mediation of the nations when the invasion failed. He shrank his forces to the Korean region and temporarily ceased to do so.

If Hirohito had known that this army, which he felt would not pose a great threat, would eventually grow into his real opponent and even force Rìmoto to such a situation, Hirohito would definitely not hesitate to resist all the pressure at that time and annihilate the Wehrmacht.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world. The tiger that made Hirohito and Rì the military department grit their teeth in hatred, and then there was no restraint.

On the contrary, he continued to deepen cooperation with Europe and the United States and other countries, and finally tied Europe and the United States to his chariot. What made Hirohito most resentful was that the tiger actually discovered oil in the northeast!

Amaterasu! If he had known that there was oil in the Northeast, neither Hirohito nor the military department would have let the Northeast go. No matter how big the price is, as long as you have access to oil, it's all worth it.

There is a shortage of natural resources, and the most serious shortage is oil. In this regard, the Americans almost strangled Rìben's neck. If it is known that the Tohoku will be able to obtain oil, then the actions of the Kwantung Army, Hirohito and the military department, will support it at all costs.

Unfortunately, the news came too late. At that time, Tu Menghu's cooperation with European and American countries was extremely deep, and even the United States, the British Empire, and France did not hesitate to hint through the consulate that if Rì himself had the idea of attacking the Northeast, then they might not send troops.

By this time, the Wehrmacht had already completed part of its industrialization, and the entire Wehrmacht had almost changed its weapons. After conducting an operational assessment, the Imperial ** Department believed that at least 20 divisions and regiments were needed to take the northeast.

And this is based on the fact that European and American countries do not interfere in the Northeast. Weighing the pros and cons, Hirohito finally had no choice but to give up the idea of a direct attack.

Because the foreign affairs department gave Hirohito a report, the U.S. side made it clear that if Rìmoto attacked the northeast, it would immediately cut off their oil and resource supplies.

The reason is simple, at that time, the steel industry and oil industry in the United States had already entered the Northeast. If Rì himself goes to war in the northeast, it will be them who will suffer the most losses due to the chaotic situation.

And, how can they sell their oil if they are replaced by Rì himself, who is short of oil?! Rì himself, who owns the source of oil and steel, will not have to look at their faces at all.

For the sake of these tangible interests, enterprises from various countries began to lobby their own attempts to stop the attack on the Northeast. As a result, Hirohito and the military department's plan could only be stillborn under the stern admonition of the nations.

"Descend ......" Hirohito's face showed an expression that seemed to cry and laugh, and Saionji was prostrate on the ground and motionless.

"It's only been more than 100 years since the Meiji Restoration...... Could it be that the glory of our empire has only lasted for more than a hundred years?! Why can he enjoy a thousand years of glory in China, but only suffer a hundred years of suffering! And my empire has struggled for a thousand years, but it has only been glorious for a hundred years?! ”

Hirohito kicked the screen over, and the waiter outside the door knelt in a large area. Everyone was trembling and didn't dare to make a sound, Hirohito had never been so angry, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

"Heaven is unjust! The sky is unfair~~" Hirohito grabbed Xiyuan Temple by the collar with red eyes, lifted the skinny old man up, and roared at him with red eyes.

"Teacher! You say, why is God so unjust?! Why can't my empire shine in the world?! Why does he have to stand up again?! Why are they standing up again?! ”

Saionji gently patted Hirohito's hand, and this action finally calmed Hirohito. With a wry smile, he put down his hand holding Saionji and sat down on the tatami mat.

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is beyond the reach of manpower...... Xionji said to Hirohito with a wry smile: "A long time ago, I advised the empire to support each other with China, and it was the best policy......

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang slowly knelt down in front of Hirohito, and said: "A long time ago, like Your Majesty, I thought that the empire could glorify the world, so that Europe and the United States would look sideways, and I didn't dare to twist my tiger whiskers......"

"But as I've gotten older, I've learned a thing. There can only be one great power in this part of Asia......"

"Then why isn't this powerful country my Great Rì Empire?! What the hell are we missing?! Speaking of this, Hirohito became excited again. And Xiyuan Temple slowly knelt down and leaned down, saying.

"Your Majesty, forgive the old minister. The empire is too bad......" Xiyuan Temple said slowly: "The accumulation of historical heritage, the inheritance of thousands of years of culture and wisdom. And it has always had a huge influence on neighboring countries...... Wait, these are their capital. ”

The Duke of Xiyuan Temple bowed his body and sighed: "The old minister has never stopped studying China, and like Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if the empire wants to become a big country in the world, then China will have to cross the chasm......"

"However, the more I studied Lao Chen, the less confident I became...... The vitality of this country and this nation is too tenacious. Their cultural roots are so far behind that it may even be difficult for them to Chinese in the future of international trade......

Hirohito didn't speak, and he had to admit that what Saionji said was the truth. Even if he disagreed with Xiyuan Temple's judgment about the future of Chinese, he had to agree with the influence of the Chinese cultural sphere.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the neighboring countries of Southeast Asia, including Rìben, have been influenced by this powerful country as long as they have produced civilizations. The rì book is okay, at least it has formed its own writing. Although these texts still contain a lot of Chinese.

And places such as North Korea and Annam, even now, have not fully produced their own writing. For a long time, they have used Chinese as their standard official language.

Even in the rì book, the high-ranking nobles regarded writing kanji as an honor.

Hirohito's era name "Showa" comes from the sentence "The people are Zhaoming, and the concord is all nations" in the "Book of Shang". The Meiji Emperor of the Restoration, on the other hand, was named after the Book of Changes, which reads, "The sage faces south and listens to the world, and rules toward the Ming Dynasty." And Hirohito's father, Emperor Taisho, "Taisho", also comes from the Book of Changes.

It can be seen from this that the influence of Han culture in rì is great. In addition to these, rìmoto's paintings, tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, and swordsmanship...... and so on, all of which are more or less involved with China.

Karate, which was called "Karate" before it was forcibly renamed. In the Oshima Notes, it is recorded that the Tang hand system was brought to Ryukyu by the Chinese Gongxiangjun, but in 1901, after the Ryukyu was annexed by the Rìmoto, the Okinawa Prefectural Office ordered that the martial art "Tang hand" in the physical education department of each school in the prefecture be changed to "empty hand" in order to eliminate Chinese influence on Ryukyu.

Since then, Karakute has become karate.

The term "kendo" originates from the ancient Chinese book "Wu Yue Chūn Qiu" from the pre-Qin period of China. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the Chinese two-handed knife technique spread to the rì book.

Over the next few hundred years, the ancient kendo-rì has evolved and matured into a number of genres. It was not until 1920 that the rìben swordsman reformulated and improved the practice methods and rules of swordsmanship, forming the modern kendo.

"Your Majesty...... If yù is a Chinese, you need to know Chinese. And those who know China, they are also pro-China......" Xiyuan Temple prostrate on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Tang Taizong said: Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall." Looking at the history of China, although there have been hundreds of years of chaos. However, the speed of its re-emergence is unmatched......"

"Lao Chen rì night jīng study its history, the more jīng research, the more frightened he is. Your Majesty can know that, according to the available information, Lao Chen's research can be sure that during the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, China's GDP accounted for 26.2% of the world's GDP at that time. By the 28th year of the Wanli reign of the Mingshen Sect, this number climbed to 29.2% and occupied the first place in the world! ”

"Even during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, China's GDP still accounted for 32.9% of the world's GDP." Xiyuan Temple swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said: "According to Lao Chen's analysis and calculation of historical materials, this country has accounted for about 30% of the global GDP share for most of the past thousand years......"

This was the first time that Saionji had talked to someone about his research results, and he didn't even dare to say that he was researching this before. Because of his research results, it will definitely arouse the hostility of the military.

Once it is announced, then the blow will be enormous. The military and radicals have been vilifying China, and have even gone so far as to compile all kinds of materials that do not stand up to scrutiny and use them to spread rumors.

In order to destroy the confidence of the Chinese themselves, make them think that their country is useless and choose to take refuge in the rì book. Their approach has achieved certain results, and even such rumors continue to circulate in later generations.

"Teacher, you can go back first......" Hirohito waved his hand tiredly, looking extremely helpless. Seeing this, Xiyuan Temple could only bow down and leave......

At this time, the victory and defeat had already been divided between the Rìben Expeditionary Force and the Wehrmacht Expeditionary Force of Zimuden, which was far away on the battlefield of the Soviet Union. After repeated bombardments and sweeps, the Wehrmacht finally began to charge the positions of the Rì Army under the cover of tanks.

Countless Wehrmacht soldiers rushed towards the position of the Rì Army under the cover of the Tiger Type B, and at this time, Sugiyama Moto, as the commander of the Rì Expeditionary Force, slowly took off his shirt in his own headquarters and pulled out the concordia placed on the ground......

"Qing Shui, please!" Sugiyama didn't look back, and said to Shimizu behind him.

"Hay! It is Qing Shui's honor to be able to make mistakes for the marshal! Qing Shui Gui was red-eyed and replied loudly. Sugiyama Moto, on the other hand, slowly washed the consignment with sake and poked it towards his abdomen......

"Poof!" At that time, when Sugiyama Moto's coacre inserted the first knife into the abdomen, Shimizu suddenly waved the katana in his hand and cut off Sugiyama Moto's head with a fierce sword!

"Huh~~" Suddenly, Sugiyama Moto's head flew to the side. And the blood in his cavity gushed out like a fountain, spilling all over the walls of the entire headquarters at once......

On September 18, 1940, Field Marshal Sugiyama, commander of the Soviet Expeditionary Force, committed suicide in defeat in the Soviet Union. He was 60 years old.

Same as rì, rì Ben against the defeat of the Soviet Expeditionary Force at the hands of the Wehrmacht Soviet Expeditionary Force. The whole army was more than 138,000 people, and the whole army was annihilated. The Wehrmacht Soviet Expeditionary Force killed 23,000 soldiers and captured 80,000. The rest of the rout...... (To be continued.) )
