Kyoto.

Emperor Showa was overjoyed and sorrowful.

It's not sad, it's just very angry.

The great joy is real, because there is a good news from the Kwantung Army.

Within five hours, a telegram of guilt came.

It was sent by Mijiro Umezu.

said that he was not suitable to serve as the commander of the Kwantung Army Yunyun again, and he was fully responsible for this failure.

Emperor Showa only wanted to hit people.

I'm angry and want to hit someone!

Send me the battle report on the front line without reviewing it clearly? Send you M!

Hideki Tojo was also speechless, he never thought that Umezu Mijiro would make such a mistake, you know, Umezu Mijiro is among them, but he is a stuffy gourd, a famous figure who can do things and talk little.

But against the independent division, he still suffered such a big defeat.

Coupled with the battle of Kuah, they have withdrawn on all fronts.

In the Pacific, the last vestiges of their superiority are gone.

The situation in Japan is very critical!

Not only Hideki Tojo is clear, but Emperor Showa is also clear!

They desperately need a big win to inspire! Boost morale!

Emperor Showa had a calm face and looked at Hideki Tojo, "Tojo-kun, what do you think, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Hideki Tojo lowered his head, his voice was not loud, and he spoke, "Your Majesty, since we were able to let our subjects welcome the Imperial Navy that has returned victoriously before, this time, we can also make our people cheer for the Kwantung Army that has won a great victory!" ”

Emperor Showa's face flushed!

Deceit!

Hide it!

This is deceiving the people!

Emperor Showa didn't want to do that!

What he wants is a real victory!

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Kwantung Army has won a big victory! That's right! In fact, the battle that was a few hours apart before and after was a different battle! Even the combat units have changed! Hideki Tojo suddenly spoke loudly, "We can preach this big victory!" Tell the people that our Kwantung Army is still strong! But in the face of enemies several times larger than oneself, it is still a broken national jade! ”

"In this way, it will arouse the morale of the people! I, the Japanese Empire, have the possibility of continuing! Your Majesty! Hideki Tojo continued.

Emperor Showa closed his eyes, he felt that in the eyes of various countries, even in the eyes of Germany and Italy, he was just a clown who could not be on the stage, right? Because the victory of others is a real victory, and the victory of one's own side ......

"Then do it! Since the navy has no advantage, it will defend all parts of Southeast Asia! Then defend me! Do you understand? Just recuperate! Restore the Empire! The Empire still has the ability to fight again! ”

"Hey!" Hideki Tojo responded, and so far, they have no other way! Only for a short period of time! Defend everything you can hold, get all the resources you can get, and speed up your recovery!

……

"The Empire has won the war again!" A Japanese citizen looked at the newspaper, listened to the radio in his ear, and smiled, "Unfortunately, I still have to walk to work." ”

"It's good to be able to win the battle! It's also worthy of our frugality! An old man nodded with satisfaction, "I hope it's over soon, and Koji will be able to come back then." ”

"yes, I'm also wondering when my family Kimura will come back." An elderly woman next to her spoke, "Otherwise, there is always no man in the family, and it's not good." ”

"yes, yes! I wish the war was over soon! ”

"Life will definitely get better!"

"Hmm!"

The people of Kyoto kept talking, their eyes full of hope, they knew that it was the soldiers of the empire who were cutting through the thorns, and maybe it would not be long before they would have a lot of land and a lot of wealth.

When the time comes, they will be able to live their old age in peace, driving slaves.

……

Kyoto, the Takeshita family.

Jun Takeshita's father looked at the newspaper and listened to the radio, frowning.

He knew what Jun Takeshita wanted to do, and as a father, he naturally wanted to support Jun Takeshita.

Kyoto's daily broadcast is where and where the battle was won, and how many Chinese troops were killed, but if this is really the case, Takeshita Jun will not have to go to China as an envoy!

As a father, he knew very well that when Takeshita Toshimi went to China, the bottom line given by the top brass was that as long as the Chinese government recognized the legitimacy of Manchukuo, then the troops in other parts of China could be withdrawn.

If the situation is good, why do you mention such a condition?

Anyone who is a little smarter can figure it out.

However, he also knows that many of these newspapers and radio broadcasts are just fooling the people at the bottom.

Squinting his eyes, he called for someone.

"The head of the house?"

"Well, go and contact the people in China to find out the actual situation of this victory."

"Hey!"

In the early years, as Japan's influence continued to develop in China, many Japanese expatriates, including businessmen from other countries, came to China to make money. Of course, a lot of people are doing well.

The Takeshita family is one of them.

It's just that in recent years, the situation has deteriorated.

But the Takeshita family has a deep heritage, so he doesn't care.

In addition, the domestic economy has been very depressed in recent years, and as the head of the Takeshita family, Takeshita's father knows very well what will happen to Japan in the end.

Shaking his head, he put down the newspaper and looked to the east.

His son is in the East.

……

Jun Takeshita once again received a telegram from the base camp urging him to promote peace talks, but how can peace talks be so easy!

The victory of the independent division again, the battle loss ratio has long been placed in the major Chinese newspapers.

The Chinese people rejoiced, and it stands to reason that Jun Takeshita should also be happy, but after all, those who died were also his compatriots, and Jun Takeshita still couldn't bear it. But reason told him that the Kwantung Army was going to be defeated!

Japan, we can't go on like this!

This war should have stopped a long time ago!

After packing up his things, Jun Takeshita looked in the mirror, "Jiro, let's go." ”

"Hey!"

Today, he is going to see His Excellency the Chinese Commander-in-Chief, and it is still about the matter of peace talks, and he knows that going by himself is just a formality, because His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will still not agree.

……

"Takeshita-kun, here?" Chairman Chiang was in a good mood, and he also had a copy of the battle report of the Independent Division, and since he was fighting the Kwantung Army and could not find the north, he was happy. Moreover, seeing that Jun Takeshita was in a bad mood, he was even happier. That's a little fun.

"I've seen Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief." Jun Takeshita nodded.

"Sit."

"Thank you."

"Takeshita-kun is still here today for peace talks?" Chairman Jiang smiled and asked.

"Yes. China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, and both have friendly diplomatic relations in history, so I think that there are still opportunities between China and Japan now. Jun Takeshita continued to laugh, and he also said a lot about this kind of beautiful scene.

"The Independent Division has defeated the Kwantung Army again."

Jun Takeshita's face remained unchanged, still with a smile.
