When the news of the Tohoku incident reached Japan, the Japanese people were full of excitement and cheers everywhere. The planners of the incident were regarded as national heroes by the public, and the streets were littered with photos and encouraging slogans of Kwantung officers and soldiers, and some radical youths even carved letters on their skins to express their admiration for these soldiers with blood.

Compared to these angry youths, Prime Minister Inukai and his cabinet are much calmer, and they have shown only anger at the incident. In his heart, he was quite disgusted with the practices of these soldiers, not because he was a good man and a woman, but because he held different methods and views.

Similarly, Inu Yangyi himself is also an advocate of foreign grabbing the interests of other countries, and he also wants to exchange China's interests for the interests of other countries, but he plans to use force and temptation to do so, rather than simply plunder.

"Those people in the military department are too stupid to do so, the interest of the empire is not how much territory to take, but how much benefit to the interests of the empire, and they are bound to have an impact on our plans by doing so, hey! What a bunch of stupid guys. ”

Inukai Yi complained to the staff around him, and the staff smiled and persuaded a few words, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had already replied, and he could go to the palace at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Inu Yangyi couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, he took out the delicate pocket watch on his chest, opened it and looked at the time, it was now more than 12 o'clock, although there were still nearly 3 hours before the time of the audience, but Inu Yangyi still took off his kimono and clogs, changed into a black tuxedo, put on a brand new top hat, and after repeatedly looking at it in front of the mirror, he was satisfied with the car to the palace.

After less than an hour's walk, the car arrived at the Imperial Palace, which the Japanese call Miyagi, surrounded by a wide moat, and a double bridge that communicates its connection with the outside world, and this only connection is also blocked by heavy security and gates, which makes the palace appear mysterious and solemn.

Outside the Niju Bridge, in front of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor's guards in black tweed coats stood straight, the cockades on the heads of the guards were sixteen-petal eightfold chrysanthemum emblems symbolizing the imperial family, and under the black brimmed hats, revealing grim faces, they scanned the surrounding scenes with sharp eyes, and the patrolling guards walked back and forth with neat steps, and the black figures formed a sharp contrast with the silver-yellow trees on the palace behind.

In the eyes of many Japanese people, the emperor is a sacred symbol, even the prime minister.

Although Inukai is the head of government, it is still very difficult to listen to the emperor's teachings in person, and he has to go through a series of complicated procedures before he can be seen in the palace after obtaining the emperor's permission.

Although it was not the first time he had met the emperor, Inukai was still a little excited.

In front of the Niju Bridge, he got out of the car and was politely but meticulously searched by the palace guards, and after making sure that there was no security threat, a guard officer with a * on his back followed him on foot towards the palace.

After passing through a series of gates, Inuyang Yi was taken to a small but * palace. The attendant whispered to Inukai Takeshi that His Majesty the Emperor was resting and would come later.

Inu Yangyi nodded respectfully and bowed in thanks, and the attendant stepped back after a while. Inukai knew that this was the emperor's office, so he didn't dare to sit down, but put down the top hat and cane on his head, and stood there quietly, waiting for His Majesty the emperor to summon him.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the emperor finally walked out, wearing a black black suit, a pair of thick glasses, and his hair was shiny with his hair combed back.

Although he is less than 1.6 meters tall, that kind of imperial aura makes Inu Yangyi have to bow 90 degrees, and he still mutters in his mouth: "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Hirohito motioned for Inukai to calm down, and after Inukai and the emperor sat down, he explained his intentions and put forward his views on the so-called "Manchurian Incident."

"Your Majesty, the Kwantung Army's rash launch of an armed offensive in Manchuria is bound to have a chain reaction. When the current government of China came to sue for peace, it foolishly thought that it could return the nominal power of Manchuria to China, and that the actual control would be under the control of our country, and that the gradual encroachment on China would ease the current tension and make it impossible for the United States and the Soviet Union to intervene. ”

Inuyang Yi said the manuscript he had prepared in advance, and he looked at the emperor with anticipation, he knew that only the emperor could stop the crazy people in the military department now, and only in this way could Japan be able to encroach on China step by step and annex the whole of East Asia.

But the emperor was obviously not interested in Inuyangyi's words, and he smiled faintly: "My guess is not wrong, those guys from the Kwantung Army really didn't hold back, they still did it after all." ”

He didn't know what the Emperor Bai meant, but it was obvious from his tone that he had some pity for these rude soldiers of the Kwantung Army.

Inu Yangyi was unwilling to give up like this, he stood up and continued: "Your Majesty, now the Nanjing government has expressed its willingness to negotiate an armistice......

Before Inuyang Yi finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito waved his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I already know about the war in Manchuria. The day before yesterday, the War Department had already advised that it wanted to take the Qing Emperor Puyi to Manchuria and establish Manchukuo.

"Manchukuo's military and economy are controlled by the country, so that it can be guarded against the public, and it can be placed under the empire, and I think it is better to do so."

After Emperor Hirohito said this, a confident and sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and those congenital high near-eyes seemed to be full of smiles.

At this time, the chamberlain in the palace brought the best tea, although it was autumn, but the tea still revealed a faint fragrance. Emperor Hirohito motioned for Inukai to taste it, and then chatted with him about a few trivial topics. Inukai knew in his heart that the emperor had already made up his mind to support the military department, and it seemed that his plan could only be taken one step at a time, and he would continue to liaise with the Nanjing government to seek the greatest benefits.

"I still have important things to deal with, and I hope Aiqing will care more about many state affairs, so you can continue to taste tea." After saying that, Emperor Hirohito stood up, and Inukai Takeshi also stood up and bowed.

After Emperor Hirohito left, Inukai Yi had no reason to stay, and after bowing and watching the emperor go away, he gently put the teacup in front of him back into place, and then picked up the top hat on the coat rack and walked straight out.

Accompanied by the attendant, Inuyang Yi walked out of this mysterious and deep palace. After crossing the double bridge, after a few more doors, he arrived outside the gate where he had parked before, the autumn wind was slightly rising, his attendant hurriedly opened the car door, and when Inuyang Yi got into the car, he found that outside the palace gate, several young men in military uniforms were glaring at him.

"Strange, who are those?" Inuyang Yi asked the attendant beside him.

The attendant frowned and glanced at it, and then said, "Maybe it's some young officers from the army." Their admiration for the emperor was unimaginable, and people often lingered near the palace. ”

"Oh!" Inuyang Yi nodded with a slight understanding, and then the driver started the car. As the young officers passed around the corner, they looked at the car with angry eyes until it disappeared.

"Zishan-kun, this old thief must be bewitching His Majesty the Emperor for the affairs of Manchuria. Although His Majesty is wise and decisive, if he always says this, he will also be deceived by traitors, so we will simply ......"

Before the young officer could finish speaking, Zishan Kishi Hiroshi waved his hand to interrupt his speech: "I hope he will consciously restrain himself, otherwise, this kind of dog thief who deceived His Majesty the Emperor will pay the price for his actions sooner or later." ”

With that, the officers bowed collectively in the direction of the palace, and after a great salute they boarded the car and set out on the way back.

Regarding the changes and incidents in the situation in Northeast China, the Nanjing government that communicates with Inu Yangyi is Wang Jingwei. He always believed that China's strength did not have the possibility of war with Japan, and besides, Northeast China did not listen to the orders of the central government in the first place, as long as it belonged to China in name, as for whether it actually belonged to China, it was not much different from the previous warlord secession.

Wang Jingwei is disgusted with Huang Ke and others in the main battle faction, but he is a little jealous of Huang Ke's strength, after all, this guy controls the finances of many places in Guangdong and most of the armed forces in the country, but what should be done is still to be done, otherwise there will be no chance.

With the help of diplomats, Wang Jingwei has a channel of communication with Japanese Prime Minister Inuyoyi. Inu Yangyi proposed to him that the situation in Manchuria was complicated, and that the handling of this incident could still belong to China in name, but the garrison and economy belonged to Japan, and asked the two sides to set up a certain cease-fire zone in Manchuria, and the troops of both sides would not enter, so as to avoid misfire.

In order to demonstrate its efforts to bring about peace between China and Japan, Wang Ching-wei also sent someone to secretly leak Huang Ke's actions to the Japanese side, and warned the other side that Huang Ke had secretly dispatched and organized troops to prepare for action against the Japanese armed forces stationed in Shanghai.

Based on several days of observation and intelligence gathering, the Japanese intelligence department confirmed that the Chinese side was secretly sending troops to assemble near Shanghai, and the content of this telegram further confirmed the authenticity of this incident. But Inuyang Yi hesitated when it came to whether to transfer this information to the military, he knew that no matter whether the information was true or not, in the hands of those madmen in the military department, this information would become an accelerator for the war between China and Japan.
