Facing the expectant gaze of the emperor's elder brother, Prince Zairen smiled bitterly in his heart, "For the Hong Kong issue, what tricks can I have, that despicable devil Tang Qiuli has pushed the Great Japanese Empire to the point where there is no room for maneuver, from the bottom of my heart, for more than 10,000 dead ghosts, the empire has paid so much price, and it is not worth it in any case, but the key now is not the question of how much gold to come up with, but the question of the impact on the hearts and morale of the people of the Great Japanese Empire." ”

Prince Zairen sighed secretly in his heart, "That devil Tang Qiuli is not a master who is accustomed to playing conspiracy and tricks, just an understatement, so that the Great Japanese Empire has to be shot hard, and he can't hide!" ”

Regarding the fierce remarks of the Minister of War Michichi Miuchi, Prince Zaihito looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, "Ichijie Wufuer, you know what politics is, you Michii Koichi can make such a generous statement, and the soldiers who are still fighting on the front line, and the relatives of those soldiers who died in battle, may not think so." ”

On the Hong Kong issue, which can no longer be changed, Prince Zairen is not prepared to say some worthless lofty arguments, and should appropriately change the subject of the meeting, therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother thinks that we can only negotiate the Hong Kong issue according to the conditions put forward by Tang Qiuli, and what the younger brother is most worried about and worried about is the Singapore issue!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Prince Zaihito's words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of several people to a new topic, and Emperor Hirohito asked puzzledly: "Zaihito, why is the Singapore issue so worrying you?" ”

The Minister of War, General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ryosuke Nishita, neither spoke, this is a conversation between His Majesty the Emperor, and he can't interject, besides. The two of them, they haven't figured out yet, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of this emperor's royal brother, who is known for his cunning?

Prince Zairen said unhurriedly: "Brother Huang, Singapore is isolated in a corner of the Indochina Peninsula, separated from the main force of the Imperial Southwest Pacific Dispatch Army, across the Strait of Malacca, since the commander-in-chief of the Dispatch Army, General Ito Yanzaburo, has drawn most of his troops from Singapore and joined the Luzon battlefield. The Imperial garrison in Singapore was very empty, and at present, it was only a little more than a brigade. ”

"What the younger brother is worried about is whether the eyes of the devil Tang Qiuli have been removed from Hong Kong. Keep an eye on Singapore, according to his personality. Singapore is intolerable. It will become the bridgehead of the imperial counterattack on Indochina in the future, so we must prepare in advance, take precautions, and formulate a contingency plan against Singapore, there are only two options. One is to hold on, the other is to give up, and there is no other way! ”

After Zaihito finished speaking, several people, including Emperor Hirohito. are silent, whether they agree with Zairen's statement or not, but it is undeniable that his words are very reasonable, Singapore's current position is indeed very embarrassing, it tastes like chicken ribs, and it will inevitably disperse part of the troops sent to the southwest Pacific, at present, the next strategic direction of the empire is in Australia and Luzon, and only by occupying the entire Australian continent, the Japanese Empire can truly control the entire Pacific region.

Because of a Singapore, repeatedly fighting with the devil Tang Qiuli of China, it seems that it does not conform to the empire's current overall strategy, and the gains outweigh the losses, and furthermore, even if it is stubborn, how much the empire will pay for it, no one can estimate that Tang Qiuli's main combat corps are all gathered on the front line of the Indochina Peninsula, if it really fights, the empire will definitely not be able to take any advantage, and if it is not good, it will be the next Hong Kong.

But if they give up like this, several Japanese core decision-making bigwigs here are obviously reluctant, the appetite of the Great Japanese Empire, not only a Pacific region, the Indochina Peninsula, including Chinese mainland, has long been in the minds of several of them, as the future territory of the Great Japanese Empire, and Singapore's special strategy and geographical location is the best bridgehead for the future counterattack on the Indochina Peninsula and Chinese mainland.

This is an extremely painful dilemma, several people's eyes are on Emperor Hirohito, who is frowning and thinking hard, and the last person who makes up his mind is this boss, and the opinions of others are just for reference!

Emperor Hirohito raised his head, his face was a painful expression, and in his eyes, there was a look of unwillingness and hatred, too, since that devil Tang Qiuli was born in Chinese mainland, there are still fewer things that make Emperor Hirohito feel distressed and flesh pain.

Emperor Hirohito said: "Zairen's mention is very timely and very important, about Singapore, we are based on giving up, the General Staff issued an order to the guards of Singapore, once Tang Qiuli's troops have signs of attacking Singapore, immediately evacuate the place, do not do unnecessary obstruction, of course, before our Imperial Japanese Army evacuates Singapore, we will not give that the devil of China, leave a complete city, this matter, Zairen, you have to personally supervise!" ”

Zaihito nodded, and Emperor Hirohito continued: "Regarding the question of the remains of the soldiers who died in Hong Kong, we accept the conditions put forward by that despicable Tang Qiuli? "This is the meaning of consulting a few people, in other words, Hirohito doesn't want to carry such a bag on his own.

After a moment of silence, several people nodded in unison, and Emperor Hirohito continued: "Okay, Saita Aiqing, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send important officials to leave for Hong Kong today, and negotiate with that damn devil Tang Qiuli about relevant matters, in addition, I have ordered the treasury to prepare gold, and we can arrive in Hong Kong at random together, hey, our Great Japanese Empire has once again been blackmailed by that despicable Chinese people!" ”

Emperor Hirohito's words, revealing deep unwillingness and helplessness, several ministers, also bowed their heads, this matter, on whose body, is not comfortable, obviously slaughtered, there is no room for bargaining, how can it be a nest, can be sad!

After a moment of trouble, Emperor Hirohito's eyes burst into flames, and his tone became gloomy, and he asked the Minister of War, General Mitsuichi Michiichi, "Aiqing Minai, who else is in the family of that scum Poly Gavin?" ”

General Michikoichi trembled in his heart, "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is going to vent his anger on Pauly Gavin's family, they are all people from the army system, originally, for the sake of the robe, he should reach out and pull a hand, is it not as guilty as his family, but in the current situation, His Majesty the Emperor has already moved to kill, and he can't help himself, and besides, it seems that it is not worth it to stand up for an imperial scum!" ”

Michichi replied: "His Majesty the Emperor, Poly Gavin has two sons, one serves in the Navy and the other serves in the Army, both of whom are lieutenant officers, and there is a daughter who is studying at the Imperial Army Medical School and will graduate next year, his wife died two years ago, and he also has a younger brother who runs a large company and is a very financially powerful figure, and this is the basic situation!" ”

Emperor Hirohito snorted gloomily and said: "Let the Tokyo Military Police Command be in charge, confiscate the property of Poly Gavin, as well as the property of his younger brother, and also confiscate it, return it to the treasury, and send his two sons to the front line, as well as his daughter, you don't have to wait until you graduate, and send it to the front line to boost the morale of the imperial soldiers, and besides, the immediate relatives of Poly Gavin will also be investigated and punished, and no one is allowed to intercede for this scum, Minai Aiqing, you are responsible for this matter, After all, it's your army system! ”

"I dealt with Poly Gavin's matter so harshly, just to let the local people know that betraying the Great Japanese Empire and me will never end well!" His Majesty the Emperor said a few words, announcing to all Japanese the fact that although Pauli Gavin was dead, his family could not escape Zhulian, and the words hidden in Emperor Hirohito's heart did not say it, "The Paulie family has a lot of economic strength, so let's use it to make up for my losses!" ”

According to the estimates of the Japanese media, there are no less than 300 people who have been implicated, although they have not reached the Cheng dù of the nine clans, the three clans, the four clans and even the five clans.

On the afternoon of 25 July, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for handling the remains of soldiers killed in battle, flew to Hong Kong and asked to meet with General Tang Qiuli, commander of the Independent Division, and to hold bilateral talks on specific matters on the basis of the conditions agreed.

In Hong Kong, Tang Qiu left the office, and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked: "Division commander, the Japanese envoy has arrived, have you met with him?" ”

Tang Qiuli snorted and said: "I don't need to meet with the Japanese, Yuhe is like this, immediately send a telegram to Zhang Quan, the minister of logistics in Kunming, appointing him as the plenipotentiary representative of the independent division to deal with this matter, and then fly to Hong Kong. ”

Zhang Quan, who received the order, was still confused at first, but when he figured it out, he was cutting meat from the Japanese, and immediately came to the spiritual head, with a shaved beard on his chin, a straight major general's uniform, and a large group of logistics staff officers and iron abacus, forming a huge lineup, taking two special planes, and landing at Hong Kong Airport a few hours later.

At the meeting before take-off, Zhang Quan mobilized in this way, "Everyone knows that the personnel of the relevant departments of our logistics department, this flight to Hong Kong, is to carry out the order of the division headquarters, deal with the problem of the corpses of the dead soldiers of the Japanese army, and deal with the little devils, everyone remembers, the knife must be fast, the start must be ruthless, the division commander has done the preliminary foreshadowing work in place, and then, it depends on us, we can cut off the fat meat from the little devil, everyone knows it in their hearts, in a word, just leave a breath for the little devil!" ”
