In fact, Emperor Hirohito's entanglement is nothing more than taking advantage of any cheapness, donkey chewing sugar cane is sweet at both ends, on the one hand, he wants the Soviet army to beat Tang Qiuli fiercely, on the other hand, he wants to seize the land of the Soviet Union in the Far East, it is a problem of both fish and bear's paws, Hirohito's appetite is quite big, he wants to swallow it all, but he doesn't have that good appetite.

The donkey turned around like a mill I don't know how many laps, seeing that more than an hour had passed, it was already more than nine o'clock in the night of September 23, and if he didn't make a decision, he ran away at any opportunity, Hirohito's eyes lit up, and he remembered his royal brother, the scheming and scheming Prince Zairen of the Idle Yuan Palace, why not announce him into the palace, the two brothers planned a little, it was better than being alone here.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito ordered the attendants, "Spread my edict and announce that Prince Hitohito will enter the palace at night!" ”

A car from the Imperial Palace dragged Prince Zaihito, who was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, out of the fragrant hot bed, and sped through the dark streets of Tokyo, and entered the palace like a smoke.

As soon as Prince Zaihito arrived, it was impossible for Emperor Hirohito to hand over the secret telegram from General Minamijiro, commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, to his younger brother.

According to the rules, he is the chief of the general staff, and he has promoted all the armed forces of the Japanese Empire, this Nanjiro's secret telegram should go to the General Staff first, and then report it to His Majesty the Emperor by himself, how can there be any reason to directly stab the palace, is the military situation too urgent, or Nanjiro ignored the rules, or did he do it intentionally and didn't take himself into account at all?

Jae-in has a dense mind and a ruthless personality. After crushing such a small matter and breaking it apart and analyzing it, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, was marked with a question mark in his mind.

Seeing that Zairen was just silent after reading the telegram, Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but urge: "Zairen, you are my royal brother, what opinions do you have for me." Let's just say it, I'm all ready to do it! ”

Zairen thought for a while, and said carefully: "Brother Huang, this matter is not trivial, Nanjiro's Jianyì." It seems reasonable and seized the opportunity, but think about it carefully. But one of the most important issues is overlooked. That is, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli and the Soviets, in the current situation, that is the main enemy of our great Japanese empire, the answer is very simple, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. ”

Emperor Hirohito listened to Zaihito's words. stared at it, he already knew what he was thinking, but also. I was unwilling, and besides, Zairen's analysis was not very in place, so he motioned to Zairen with his eyes and continued.

As soon as Zairen saw the eyes of his emperor's elder brother, he knew that his words were too simplistic and did not fully convince him, so he continued: "The younger brother proposed the imperial military, and everything could not be considered carefully, but since the beginning of the China War, Tang Qiuli has indeed become the number one mortal enemy of the empire. ”

"The Indochina Peninsula also fell into the hands of this person, on the Australian battlefield in the southwest Pacific, the Imperial Army fought against the British, American, Indian and Australian armies, and it was indecisive for a long time, not because Ito Yanzaburo was incompetent, nor was it because the Allied forces were so strong in combat effectiveness, the main reason behind this was because Tang Qiuli's naval fleet kept the logistics supply line for the Allied forces, and the soldiers and material supplies on the West Indies continent were continuously transported to the Australian battlefield through the East Indian Ocean."

"All this, where the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire is fighting, the shadow of this devil is indispensable, Tang Qiuli has become the biggest obstacle to the imperial brother's realization of the grand cause of coexistence and co-prosperity in Greater East Asia, if this person is not removed, the empire will never be at peace!"

Emperor Hirohito nodded frequently when he heard this, and was encouraged by the good emperor's elder brother, and Prince Zaihito became more and more eyebrows fluttering, and further elaborated: "Soviet Russia's use of troops in Outer Mongolia is a great news for our empire, if it were not for the stalemate between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union's Far Eastern Front on the front line of the Outer Khingan Mountains, and the fact that most of the territory of Soviet Russia in the Far East fell into the hands of the empire, the relationship between us and Soviet Russia has reached a point where it is impossible to reconcile and compromise, and there is no possibility of temporary cooperation. At the beginning, the ministers wanted to join forces with the Soviet and Russian armies to eliminate part of Tang Qiuli's military strength. ”

"According to the analysis of the international situation, the focus of Soviet Russia's defense, in its European part, for the Far East, is beyond the reach of some whips, therefore, the minister believes that the empire can be Xu Xu, once our ally the Germans, begin to attack Soviet Russia, it is the best opportunity to come, Soviet Russia can not take care of both ends, will inevitably abandon one direction, at that time, we will order the Kwantung Army to take an offensive, in the face of the empire and the Germans two-sided attack, in order to avoid the fate of the country, not to worry about the Soviet Russia does not compromise, then the Far East large fertile land, Naturally, it was included in the empire. ”

"But the devil Tang Qiuli is different, what he did, everywhere against the Japanese Empire, more than 300,000 troops, Chen soldiers in the Liaoning West Corridor, its sinister intentions of Manchuria, obvious, if we start a large-scale war with Soviet Russia at this time, it is in the hands of Tang Qiuli, it is better to let Soviet Russia and Tang Qiuli fight a defeat, for our future attack on Tang Qiuli's forces in the north, it is also very beneficial."

"Therefore, the younger brother Jianyi, not only can not meet Nanjiro's request to go to war, but should strictly order all troops of the Kwantung Army not to act rashly, and can even make some gestures, for example, take the initiative to give up some unimportant areas, so as to show our attitude, so that Stalin can rest assured to mobilize the Soviet troops in the Far East, and Tang Qiuli will have a big battle, and it is best to lose both, if Tang Qiuli wins, his military strength in the north will inevitably be greatly consumed, and for our Great Japanese Empire, there are only benefits and no harms. ：”

"If the empire and Soviet Russia fight at this time and contain Zhukov's reinforcements, then the Soviet army in Outer Mongolia will undoubtedly be defeated, and the direct consequences will lead to the fiasco of Soviet Russia in the east, and the empire will face Tang Qiuli directly, please forgive my brother for saying bluntly, with the strength of the Kwantung Army alone, it cannot compete with Tang Qiuli, in order not to make the Kwantung Army face the danger of defeat, the empire has to draw troops from other strategic directions to reinforce it, which will affect our overall strategy, and the minister brother thought of these, specific things, It still needs to be decided by the royal brother! ”

Prince Zaihito's tirade, reasonable, well-organized, will be the pros and cons of the gains and losses, the analysis of the head is the way, can't help but unconvincing, listen to Emperor Hirohito dizzy, as if there is the effect of Daigo empowerment, I think I understand, some cheap, look tempting, but in fact, pick up will bite the hand, in terms of overall and strategic vision, Nanjiro is much inferior to his royal brother.

Emperor Hirohito smiled with satisfaction and said: "Zaihito, I will adopt your opinion, so that you will immediately in the name of the General Staff, strictly order the troops of the Kwantung Army not to act rashly, and implement your plan step by step, to do it skillfully and quietly, to make Stalin feel it, go!" ”

Prince Zaihito gave a deep salute, and then left, Emperor Hirohito's face was gloomy, his younger brother, more and more scheming, thoughtful, so how to let himself rest assured, although there will be no changes in the elbows and armpits of the palace, but have to be guarded against, Hirohito called over a young attendant officer, whispered a few words, the attendant officer left in a hurry, Hirohito was stunned for a while, and then went to the dormitory.

After receiving the order from the General Staff of the base camp, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, although he was reluctant in his heart, did not dare not carry out the order, because one sentence in the order was very lethal, "This plan has been submitted to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

So, Nanjiro could only watch, drooling, while looking at the Soviet troops, without any concern for the change of guards, but also to selectively give up some areas, at this point, Nanjiro for Emperor Hirohito is slanderous, every inch of land in the Outer Khingan Mountains is the Kwantung Army soldiers with blood and life in exchange, said to give up and give up, General Nanjiro just didn't understand, "Could it be that the base camp, including His Majesty the Emperor, didn't see it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" ”

The actions of the Japanese Kwantung Army were naturally frightened, staring at the opponent, for fear that the Japanese would come out to make trouble, and at the same time, he was surprised, and at the same time, he immediately reported the situation to the General Staff of the Soviet Army urgently.

On September 23, in the Moscow and Kremlin of the Soviet Union, Stalin, who had just fallen asleep, was cautiously woken up by the orderlies, put on his pajamas, and when he arrived in the living room, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, and General Besssovsky, Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff, were already in the living room, anxiously waiting.

After reading Zhukov's telegram, Stalin showed a reserved smile, the situation in the Far East outside the Khingan Mountains, as he expected, the Japanese were very interesting, did not come out to make trouble, and were afraid that they would not understand, and made a gesture, but this is temporary, and when the Chinese Tang Qiuli is solved, the next thing is the Japanese, the territory of the Soviets, how can the Japanese occupy it for a long time!

Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, only had awe of the leader's far-sighted vision, thinking of his previous gains and losses, he couldn't help but look petty, and he respectfully asked: "Comrade Stalin, should the General Staff call back Zhukov from that angle?" ”

Stalin pondered for a moment and said: "Order Zhukov, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, to free up his hands to support Kurygin's troops, and then transfer two infantry corps and the corresponding artillery and tank units from the Far Eastern Front as the second batch of troops to support the Outer Mongolian battlefield, four infantry corps, close to 200,000 troops, enough!" ”

Also in the middle of the night of September 23, the intelligence department of the independent division, the intelligence network in the Far East, captured the movement of the Soviet troops, as well as the abnormal behavior of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and a secret telegram flew to Kulen, Outer Mongolia, and the head of the intelligence department, Colonel Yu Deshui, was in the hands of Colonel Yu Deshui.
