Emperor Hirohito's sudden "nagging" voice scared more than a dozen attendants, who is Yohei Kono, that is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan, in charge of the Empire's foreign relations, and is one of the few important ministers of the Empire.

Especially in this place, it can't help but make these attendants and officials think about it, but looking at the blue face of His Majesty the Emperor, his nose and eyes are about to breathe fire, and he looks like he is about to bite people, he shouldn't have that kind of thought, so why?

Just when the attendants, like goose-headed geese, had not yet reacted, Emperor Hirohito roared again, "Yaga-what are you rubbing, don't go quickly!" After the roar, he turned around and walked back, and went straight to the main hall where the meeting was held just now, and a fast-legged attendant officer ran out to make a phone call, and the other attendant officers, who did not dare to come out, followed closely behind Emperor Hirohito.

On the way back to the palace, it occurred to him that the Germans' attack on the Soviet Union had been obtained through the General Directorate of Military Intelligence, the headquarters of the Guò base, and that there was no need for the Germans to report it in advance. It has been more than ten days since the outbreak of the war, and neither the German Foreign Office nor the German Embassy in Japan have issued an official diplomatic document informing the Japanese side of this matter!

In other words, Japan, Germany's only ally in Asia, did not get a single bit of information from the German side before and after the German attack on the Soviet Union, and it was one thing to know the situation through its own intelligence channels, and it was another thing for the Germans to officially report it, which involved the weight of the Great Japanese Empire in the minds of the Germans, in other words. It's a matter of your own face!

Emperor Hirohito, who had always been arrogant, could not tolerate such a thing happening to him, and he did not believe that the Germans would ignore the reaction of the Great Japanese Empire and not inform the relevant information in advance before the start of such a heavy military operation, since it was a military alliance, the Germans did not dare to ignore such a big matter as launching a war against the Soviet Union. Although Emperor Hirohito knew in his heart that the German Führer Hitler was a guy who was even more arrogant and arrogant than himself!

So what's the problem? Emperor Hirohito thought about it and decided that it was Foreign Minister Yohei Kono who was derelict in his duties. The notification of the Germans was pressed on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I didn't tell myself at all. If Yohei Kono deliberately concealed it, he didn't believe it when he killed Hirohito, he didn't have the courage to do it, and it was even more unnecessary, but he neglected his duties. Let Yohei Kono look good today, don't scold him for being dark, ten thousand peach blossoms blooming, and I swear not to be a man!

Emperor Hirohito secretly gritted his teeth. With anger on his face, his steps were fast, and he was indignant as he walked, "Damn Yohei Kono, I lost a chance to befriend the Germans!" "It's a great opportunity.

The Germans' attack on the Soviet Union was what the Japanese wanted to see the most, which could contain the Soviet troops in the Far East and reduce the pressure on the Kwantung Army, and moreover, it was also an opportunity to show goodwill to Hitler.

Hitler would have remembered the moral support of the Japanese Empire, and the focus of the use of troops was on the Pacific in the south, and the advantages of the north could also take advantage of it, such an opportunity that could bring great benefits to the empire was delayed by Yohei Kono, a fool, and Emperor Hirohito, who was full of anger, wanted to bite his foreign minister to death.

Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono, who participated in today's imperial military meeting, also just returned to his home, at the meeting, watched a dragon and tiger fight between Prince Zaihito and Michichi Mineichi, which was called a wonderful one, but it had nothing to do with his own half a dime, it was a factional struggle within the army, and his own one-third of an acre, separated from the long distance, could not be affected, besides, in the diplomatic field, those soldiers who can only dance guns and sticks, kill people and set fires, can intervene?

If you say that there are some feelings, it is to feel sad for Mionei Koichi, how to say, Mionei Koichi is also an old man in the imperial military circle, with deep roots, and he is also an old bird who has gone through the whirlpool of political struggles, and has become a fine character, how could he be knocked to the ground by His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito, a rising star, and made him disgraced, and almost fell so hard that he couldn't get up? I really don't understand!

"Perhaps, Koichi Minei is really old!" In his heart, Yohei Kono still sympathizes with Koichi Yone, but this doesn't mean that he can stand up and take Prince Ren's Liangzi for Koichi Yonemine, can't he do it!

There is another thing that Yohei Kono does not understand, that is, the attitude of the Germans, the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, it has been more than ten days, according to the relationship between Germany and Japan's military allies, what happened to the Germans in advance, there must be a briefing, this is the minimum diplomatic common sense, even if it is for reasons of secrecy, such a big military operation, there are many factors for leaking secrets, and diplomatic channels are one of them.

It is understandable that after the dawn of the war on 10 April, the Germans had already begun to fight against the Soviets, and there was no news about it, but in fact, this question had been haunting Yohei Kono since the morning of 10 April, so he did not dare to leave his office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the whole day, and waited for the German ambassador to Japan to come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in person to report the matter.

From the morning of April 10 to the 20th of April, the German ambassador to Japan, von ? Toddersmann, stunned that he didn't show up, which made Yohei Kono, who was waiting on the shelf, confused, he had the heart to call the German embassy to inquire about it, but he picked up the phone several times and put it down again, why, I can't afford to lose this person!

The dignified Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan, when he called the German Ambassador, asked, oh, just like that: "Mr. Ambassador, regarding your country's attack on the Soviet Union, the head of your country or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing to inform our Emperor Xià or myself?" If so, please send it over! ”

Yohei Kono would never do it, such a face-losing thing not only fell into the name of the Japanese Empire, but also did not conform to diplomatic etiquette, Yohei Kono was stubborn enough, and the German Embassy in Japan did not move, so this matter was left behind.

During this period, just in time, the Kwantung Army was beaten by the Soviets and almost half died, and everyone in Japan was anxious about the affairs of the Kwantung Army, and no one could think about it. The Germans did not inform the Japanese Empire before they took action against the Soviet Union, but at today's imperial military meeting, Prince Zaihito's words aroused Kono's thoughts, and when the servants brought a sumptuous meal, his mind was still puzzled.

As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, his secretary pushed the door in, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the palace attendant has called, and His Majesty the Emperor has summoned you to enter the palace immediately!" ”

Yohei Kono was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandered around in confusion for a few moments, and he secretly thought to himself: "Something is wrong, has the deployment of the imperial meeting just ended, this is just a big effort, and His Majesty the Emperor urgently summoned him, what is the reason?" ”

In the same way, His Majesty the Emperor's mind was still unable to figure out, so he could only look for some clues from the appearance, and asked, "Did the attendant say, why did His Majesty the Emperor summon me so urgently?" Did the other ministers be summoned at the same time? ”

The secretary replied cautiously: "Your Excellency, the attendant officer didn't say anything, however, I inquired tactfully, and the attendant revealed that His Majesty the Emperor is in a very bad mood right now, and he is losing his temper, what is the specific reason, I don't know yet?" ”

The attendant officer became more and more cautious, looked at his boss's face, and replied: "The attendant said on the phone that no other ministers were summoned, only yourself!" ”

As soon as he heard the secretary say this, Yohei Kono couldn't hold his breath anymore, he burned his butt like he was burning, he dropped his chopsticks and went out, and His Majesty lost his temper, that is, there was something important, which made His Majesty very dissatisfied, and he only summoned himself, that is, there was a problem with the system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he didn't know that it was the bastard guy who stabbed the basket and sat in the car, Yohei Kono still racked his brains to ponder, and His Majesty the Emperor summoned his own affairs alone.

"If it's that bastard from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who does something that makes His Majesty the Emperor angry, I won't be able to spare him, at least, don't mess around with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" While secretly gritting his teeth, Yohei Kono thought to himself.

Yohei Kono had just arrived at the main hall, and before he could salute Emperor Hirohito, he heard a thunderclap-like roar, "Yohei Kono! - You! You! How daring? Such a big thing, how dare you deceive me? ”

Yohei Kono staggered in shock, and his head "Boom!" With a sound, he hurriedly looked up, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that his facial features were shifted, his face was pale, and a pair of slender eyes were shining with an eerie cold light, staring at him deadly.

Yohei Kono was confused, and he was hit by a dragon roar head-on, he didn't know what was going on, he was wronged, besides, he didn't have much courage, what was the matter, he didn't only look forward to the emperor's majesty, and he never dared to go out of shape at all, just take the sneak attack on the US Pacific Fleet station, Pearl Harbor, I know that this thing is done very well, but don't I also stare at a basin, through guò diplomatic channels, do it correctly?

Even the Americans, after the incident, scolded themselves in the newspapers for being the most despicable and shameless liar in the history of Japan.

Yohei Kono looked aggrieved, bowed deeply, and said in a low voice but with resentment: "Your Majesty, the minister is terrified, I don't know where His Majesty's courage to accuse the minister of being so bold came from?" ”
