The Japanese navy, this grievance in their hearts was even more angry, and they were full of confidence in a war of annihilation, but they were embarrassed and suffered losses like this, and it was not that the army deliberately made a stumbling block, so with the smell of gunpowder, a few bigwigs of the Admiralty rushed to the Emperor's Palace, and what they wanted was not to explain, but to be fair!

Just hugged a charming and lively concubine, was about to show the majesty of the emperor and sow the dragon seed in the body of the concubine, after receiving the report from the attendant officer, his face was not safe, helplessly withdrew the dragon claws that rubbed the concubine Yufeng, swallowed and spit, suppressed the raging lust in the lower abdomen, surrounded by the attendant officer, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and arrived at the front hall.

It's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor is displeased, those few bigwigs of the Admiralty didn't come right, just in time for the stall where His Majesty the Emperor was about to have a hand-to-hand fight with his beloved concubine, that man was not so angry that he had the intention of killing when he encountered such a thing that was interrupted by life, besides, I have 365 days a year, how many times can I have such an impulse, the state affairs are heavy, I am worried and worried, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of subjects of the Great Japanese Empire, I can't let me have a moment of joy?

Emperor Hirohito walked towards the main hall with a gloomy face, and thought angrily, if these guys who disturb my pleasure late at night take some trivial things to bother me, see how I clean you up? Emperor Hirohito secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless!

When they arrived at the place, several bigwigs of the Admiralty talked about the situation and submitted the carefully concocted battle report of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitsu and Lieutenant General Masao Okamura to the Imperial Review, and Emperor Hirohito's stomach was full of inappropriateness, and immediately disappeared, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

This is no longer a question of the army and navy stumbling on the means and behind the scenes, slandering and attacking each other. But this kind of practice has already involved the fundamental problem of weakening the Great Japanese Empire, the army and navy are my right-hand men, and now, there is actually a thing of the left arm cutting off the right arm with a knife, isn't this Bajie gnawing pig's trotters and mutilating one's own flesh and bones?

This wind does not stop, but it consumes the military strength of the Great Japanese Empire, not to mention the great great cause of the Great Japanese Empire to dominate Asia and the Pacific. Emperor Hirohito was furious and was about to order the culprit to be severely punished, but suddenly calmed down again, and muttered in his heart, "It stands to reason." That Ito Yanzaburo didn't have such guts. On the part of the Army. I don't dare to do anything that is detrimental to the fundamental interests of the Japanese Empire, and there must be a reason for this! ”

Looking at a few indignant generals, all of them are from the navy, this is a bit of a one-sided statement, Emperor Hirohito thought for a while, "You can't summon people from the army into the palace yet." Explain in person, otherwise, the two groups of people who will fight when they meet will not quarrel so much that my head hurts. It's tangled up! ”

Having made up his mind, Emperor Hirohito said slowly: "A few Aiqing should be calm for the time being, the attendant officer, immediately summon the chief of general staff of Zaihito into the palace, there are important military affairs to discuss!" ”

Prince Zairen, who was already asleep, didn't know what happened to his emperor's elder brother calling him into the palace in the middle of the night? It seems that he is still in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed to the palace by car, in the car, Prince Zairen, the chief of the general staff, went through all the major events in his mind, the Southwest Pacific Theater, the fight was extremely easy, Ito Yanzaburo has invaded Australia, fully occupied Australia, just around the corner, there is nothing important to fire up?

Prince Zairen frowned, racking his brains to guess the purpose of the emperor's elder brother summoning him, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Could it be that it is for the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Navy, in the Coral Sea, the task of destroying the enemy has not been completed, this battle report, I have already seen it, is it that there are waves?" ”

In fact, what Prince Zaihito saw was a report about the navy, which was not able to complete the task of destroying the enemy, at that time, he secretly despised the navy in his heart, and he snatched the task from the army, what the result was, it was really ridiculous, and Vice Admiral Shirakawa Yoshizhe and Vice Admiral Masao Okamura, after processing, the report was directly handed to the Admiralty, so even if Prince Zaihito was the chief of the general staff, he had not seen it.

When he arrived at the palace, when he saw a few bigwigs in the navy with unkind faces, Prince Zaihito suddenly understood in his heart, he dared to love the emperor's brother, and he pulled himself over in the middle of the night, and he came to help him, and after reading the reports of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitsu and Lieutenant General Masao Gangmura, he already knew it in his heart.

I'm afraid there is another hidden truth in this, even if he gives Ito Yanzaburo a lot of courage, he doesn't dare to do that, as for saying that the army top brass has instructions, it's even more nonsense, as the chief of the general staff, the army boss should dare to cross himself and give such an order of the mentally retarded and bastard, isn't that looking for his own death, not to mention, the Minister of War Michi Koichi will not be so stupid.

After reading the report, Prince Zaihito did not speak, firstly, the emperor's brother was here, and secondly, the navy also knew that his ass was biased towards the army side, which was bold, which was equivalent to my army's side opening his eyes and exculpation, even if it made sense, a few big men in the navy who had been carried away by anger would inevitably think crookedly, and come up like a swarm to accuse themselves of favoritism, which is also a troublesome matter!

Seeing that his Prince Zaihito bowed his head and didn't speak, Emperor Hirohito didn't know that his own ghost elf's royal brother was thinking carefully, and scolded in his heart, "What a slippery guy!" ”

Helpless, Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to ask: "Zaihito, you are the chief of the general staff, what do you think about this matter, I want to hear your opinion!" ”

Facing the eyes of several bigwigs of the Admiralty, Prince Zaihito said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, my brother believes that this matter involves a serious matter, and it is already a serious incident that endangers the national interests of the Japanese Empire, and before the truth is ascertained, it cannot be dealt with lightly, whether to order the commander-in-chief of the theater, General Ito Yanzaburo, to explain this, if it is really his deliberate act, it is not too late to punish him severely, and give justice to the navy, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the army officers and soldiers." ”

Several navy bigwigs, so angry that their eyes turned black, this emperor's royal brother, the current chief of staff of the base camp, simply wears a pair of pants with the army guys, and it is a common thing to pull the bias, counting on him to speak for the navy, unless the sow can go up the tree, but what people say makes sense, and the lawsuit is still concerned about face-to-face confrontation, and you can't listen to your own side of the story, no, there is no way, you can only accept Prince Zairen's construction.

In fact, Emperor Hirohito also has this idea, but he himself said it himself, as if he was arguing for the army, which is not conducive to his own control, in case the navy has a bad heart, it is not beautiful, and now, Prince Zaihito's construction is in line with my wishes, "Zaihito, you are in charge of this matter, you must come up with a fair, everyone agrees and believes in it!" Emperor Hirohito said sternly.

Then, turning his gaze to a few navy bosses who were full of thoughts, he asked kindly: "Aiqing, what do you think of my treatment?" ”

A few naval bigwigs, speechless for a while, my Emperor Xià, isn't this nonsense, you have finished the arrangement of Chrysostom, why are you still asking for our opinions, oppose it in person, that is to find your own bad luck, I don't want to mix in the Japanese Empire, "The ministers are willing to listen to the emperor's majesty, and there is no objection!" Several people forcibly endured the nausea in their stomachs and replied respectfully, but, judging from their faces, they all had a feeling of being insulted by His Majesty the Emperor!

After the telegram ordering Admiral Ito to explain the situation, he sent the telegram from Shirakawa and Gangcun at the same time without changing a word, for fear that he would not know where to start and suffer a dumb loss.

The temper has also been scolded, and the scolding has been finished, and the things that need to be done have to be done, not only the chief of the general staff, Prince Zaihito, is waiting for a reply, even His Majesty the Emperor is anxious to see the results, and the guys in the navy who are holding on to this matter, Admiral Ito's head is two big, and he looked at the chief of staff who was speechless and said: "Kawashima-kun, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

When Major General Kawashima lost his temper and scolded his mother, he was already thinking about how to reply to the telegram in his mind, and when he saw his boss asking himself, he replied succinctly: "General, my opinion is, return truthfully!" ”

Admiral Ito was dissatisfied, and said with a frown: "Kawashima-kun, since the navy is so despicable and distorts the facts, why don't we report the two of them, Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, commander of the Second Fleet, and Masao Okamura, commander of the Fourth Fleet, on the basis of explaining the facts, to the extent that they underestimated the enemy and made mistakes in command, so that the consequences of the failure of the mission were reported at the same time, it is best to take the opportunity to drive these two guys out of the Imperial Japanese Army, thinking of these two shameless guys, I am angry in my heart!" Shame on being in the company of such people! ”

Chief of Staff Kawashima said with a smile: "General, now, is not the time for a battle of will, we just need to report the situation truthfully, His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will definitely have a correct conclusion, if you take the opportunity to retaliate, you will end up with a stingy impression, not to mention, you are the commander-in-chief of the theater after all, nominally, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Navy are still under your command, they have made such a low-level mistake, and you can't get out of it!" Perhaps, they will be jointly and severally liable! ”

Admiral Ito said unwillingly: "Could it be that Shirakawa Yoshitsu and Masao Okamura, these two shameless and despicable guys, remain in the imperial army and continue to deceive the interests of the empire?" ”

Rear Admiral Kawashima smiled indifferently and said patiently: "General, after we truthfully reported the course of the battle, since we are not wrong, the mistakes can only be Vice Admiral Shirakawa Yoshizhe and Vice Admiral Masao Okamura, someone must be responsible for this defeat, of course, it is not us, but the navy, they should always give His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp a reasonable explanation!" ”

Admiral Ito sighed and said, "Kawashima-kun, I can always be persuaded by you, so let's do what you want!" ”
