Yohei Kono's words with resentment, how could Emperor Hirohito not hear it, he stood up suddenly, he was almost mad, his head shook and his hands trembled, his face was pale, and a pair of slender eyes burst out of angry flames, while pointing at Yohei Kono incoherently, "You? - You! You! - Okay! Very good! It's really good to hit me! While stepping down from the throne, with endless coercion, he walked towards Yohei Kono step by step.

The attendants on the side, their hearts shook with fright, and they didn't dare to come out, they rarely saw such a violent anger of the Emperor, such a hideous face, and secretly worried about Yohei Kono in their hearts, His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, first of all, he couldn't run away with a big mouth, and then, and then ......, who knows what will happen?

Emperor Hirohito did go berserk, if Yohei Kono hurriedly admitted his mistake, it would be his own dereliction of duty, and he would treat such a serious matter as child's play carelessly, at most, that is, he was reprimanded and scolded for a bloody spurt, and there was no consequence of being too strict, after all, the important matter had been delayed, and no matter how severely he punished a minister, it would be useless, but Yohei Kono had to admit his mistake, and he was full of resentment, it seemed that I had wronged him?

Yohei Kono was also stunned by the anger of Emperor Hirohito's slanted eyes and crooked eyes, and he was also confused, he just pleaded a little, as for it, he provoked His Majesty the Emperor so angry, he was really wronged, and he didn't even know what was going on, so he was charged with "daring", and he was not convinced!

When he arrived in front of Yohei Kono, looking at his slightly trembling body, Emperor Hirohito calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Do you feel wronged? Well, I ask you, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, to keep in touch with the German Embassy. Why didn't you report the news of the Germans' attack on the Soviet Union to me immediately, even today, I haven't seen the war bulletin sent by the Germans! ”

"According to the treaty of military alliance between the Reich and Germany, whichever side had any important military action had to be informed of the other side in advance, in order to achieve a concerted course of action, the Germans did not inform the Reich of the attack on the Soviet Union. I don't believe that this is the minimum diplomatic procedure, and since I have not seen this briefing to this day, then. It's not your Ministry of Foreign Affairs that's delaying, what's it? - Hmm! ”

Emperor Hirohito's tone was low. But there was a cold chill low. Hearing the cool breeze on Kono's spine, it was only then that he suddenly realized that he dared to be affectionate, and His Majesty the Emperor was in a thunderous rage, almost trying to eat people. It was for the war report of the German side attacking the Soviet Union, then he would be even more wronged, waiting for the German ambassador to Japan, von? Toddsman came to the door.

But the Germans have a big shelf, and they are bored until now. I didn't even show my face, what can I do, but I thought about it, call and ask, but are you afraid of falling into the name of the Japanese Empire! I can't go to the German embassy in person as the foreign minister and ask what is going on with Todesmann, that would be even more shameless!

Now that he knew the reason for the Emperor's anger, the fear in Kono's heart turned into nothing, as long as it was not a problem with his own Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was completely the fault of the Germans to make His Majesty the Emperor angry like this, and his mind was stable, and his speech was smooth.

Yohei Kono raised his head, looked at Emperor Hirohito fearlessly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister knows the reason for your anger, but the minister has to say that this matter is not the fault of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let alone the minister's dereliction of duty, but, so far, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received any notification from the German side at all, and the minister is in the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, waiting for the German ambassador to Japan, Todesmann, for a few days, but the German embassy does not even have a phone call!" ”

"Your Majesty, in this case, let the minister deal with anything, you can't go to the German embassy to ask for it, so the minister can't return to His Majesty, and I hope that His Majesty will beg for forgiveness and understand the minister's difficulties, not that the minister has any deliberate concealment!"

Originally, Emperor Hirohito had already been lucky, and he waited for Yohei Kono to open his mouth and couldn't answer, so he first took a big mouth and then said it again, and then, according to my mood, he would dispose of this guy in any way, but after listening to his words, Emperor Hirohito was so shocked that he took a few steps back.

"Aiqing Kono, are you saying that the German side did not inform the Reich in any way beforehand or afterwards about the attack on the Soviet Union? ――Is that so? Emperor Hirohito asked hesitantly, he didn't want to believe it, and it was too much to believe.

Yohei Kono replied with a bitter mouth: "Your Majesty, the current situation, according to the minister, I am afraid that this is the case, otherwise, it has been more than ten days since the Soviet-German war broke out, why has the German side not reported it, this is not normal in itself, there can only be one explanation, the Germans do not want to report this matter to the Reich, or ......!" ”

Yohei Kono didn't dare to say the following words, but the meaning was obvious, the Germans didn't regard the Empire of Japan as an ally at all, or rather, they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't bother to report the war against the Soviet Union, that is, they didn't regard the Empire of Japan as a brother.

Before the implementation of the "Barbarossa Plan," he concealed it from the Japanese out of secrecy, and Hitler was worried that the Japanese would not be able to hold two taels of sesame oil in their stomachs, and once the plan to attack the Soviet Union was informed to them, it would not be a bad thing for the Japanese to make some unreasonable moves!

Stalin was an old and cunning guy, and if the slightest rumor was wrong, he could smell the dangerous breath in it, to put it bluntly, Hitler did not believe in the Japanese, and in Asia, the only person who could make Hitler admire was Tang Qiuli, whom he called an old friend.

This is one reason why Hitler did not want to inform the Japanese, and there is another reason, Hitler had a great resentment towards the Japanese, thinking that at the beginning, the Japanese were in the Pacific, and they did not inform Germany in advance, which made Hitler, who thought highly of himself, have a strict feeling of being insulted, "Come and not be rude!" "Hitler, who was extremely vindictive, did not mind embarrassing the Japanese, who were not very much looked up to in the first place.

Before the start of the war with the Soviet Union, the blockade of news to the Japanese was a consideration of secrecy, and it is reasonable to say that after the outbreak of the war, originally, Hitler did not want to go too far, after all, it was an ally with Japan, and the Japanese were still in the Far East, containing millions of Soviet troops.

According to Hitler's calculations, after the war officially broke out on 10 April, he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a circular to the Japanese, which, by the way, mentioned that the German offensive in the Soviet Union was like a devastating and decaying offensive, and there was also a desire to show off, which could be regarded as making up for the Japanese face afterwards.

Unexpectedly, after the German army began to attack the Soviet Union, the progress of the war was smooth, beyond Hitler's expectations, every day there were a large number of telegrams and texts, flying from the front line, he found that his original prediction was still conservative, many prior deployments, need to make new adjustments, Hitler was buried by telegrams and telegrams, soaked in the General Staff all day long, and could not spare energy at all, take care of other things.

Also, dealing with the affairs of Britain after the war is also complicated, that matter is much more important than greeting the Japanese, this matter is left behind, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, like the Führer, did not look down on the Japanese at all, seeing that the Führer did not mention this matter, he did not bother to ask, is it a trivial matter, there are more important things than ventilating the Japanese!

Perhaps, in the international diplomatic circles, this foreign minister, who is known for his repeated lies and reversal of black and white, and is called a big liar of Germany, thinks that the ambassador to Japan, von ? Todesman, a veteran diplomat, does not need to be reminded of such a common-sense thing, by mistake, it has been more than ten days since the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, and Japan, as an ally, has not received a single word of notification.

German Ambassador to Japan von ? After the outbreak of the war with the Soviet Union, Toddsmann was also waiting for domestic instructions on whether to report this matter to the Japanese government, according to the usual practice, it was a greeting, but after waiting for a few days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not have any instructions at all.

Perhaps, His Excellency the Führer, in his opinion, that the channel of the military to inform the Japanese about the war against the Soviet Union would have more weight and sincerity, highlighting the military alliance between the two sides, and moreover, Todesmann was stupid enough to send a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at home to inquire about this matter, as a senior diplomat, he still understands the rules, since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not have a clear instruction to designate the embassy in Japan to be responsible for reporting this matter, it has nothing to do with himself.

Moreover, Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono did not inquire about this matter, presumably the Japanese had already received a briefing from the German military, and it was neither necessary nor in accordance with the rules to take the initiative to report it themselves, and would be regarded as having nothing to do with the Japanese who were arrogant and arrogant.

Under several mistakes, Hitler left Japan, the only ally country in Asia, there to hang, and moreover, it was a naked neglect, but even if Hitler knew that something was wrong with this matter, he would not take it to heart, and he did not look down on the selfish Japanese government and the emperor in the first place, if it were not for the fact that it could contain the strength of the Soviets, it would be somewhat useful, Hitler would not even be in the mood to form an alliance with Japan!
