Chapter 1378: Sharpen the knife

Emperor Hirohito looked at the generals and ministers with ugly faces, and the generals and ministers who were talking to each other, originally had a stinky face that was full of worries, but he relaxed, what he wanted was such an effect, when the generals and ministers were hesitant, he was just and arbitrary, and threw out a confident plan, showing the wisdom and wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, and also deterring these unruly generals

The ministers and generals who had enough brains noticed the face of His Majesty the Emperor, and suddenly understood one thing, why did His Majesty the Emperor accept Tang Qiuli's conditions in humiliation, regardless of the opposition of many people, and even the danger of being blamed by the people, and took out ten tons of gold from the already tight treasury to meet the insatiable demand of the insatiable Chinese man.

Although I guessed some eyebrows, none of the ministers and generals who reacted broke this layer of paper, and when they didn't fully see the steps of His Majesty the Emperor, they still didn't say that it was better, and besides, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and if you look at it, the consequences will be very miserable, so let's watch it on the wall first

There are smart ones, and there are fools, Vice Admiral Takashima Yuji, director of naval training, jumped up, and his spearhead was pointed at Vice Admiral Kobayashi, director of the military intelligence bureau of the base camp, "Kobayashi-kun, do you dare to guarantee the authenticity of this information?" Can it be completely ruled out that this is the trap of the devil Tang Qiuli? When the fate of the empire is at stake, we have to be cautious"

To be honest, Takashima jumped out a little recklessly, many of the bigwigs here, whether it is military rank, official position, status, prestige, or the weight of their speech, are several times higher than him, and they didn't speak, it's your turn to be a lieutenant general and pretend to be a wolf with a big tail? To be able to participate in today's Imperial Meeting, I still borrowed the light of Admiral Shigemitsu Kui, the Minister of the Navy

What's more, your assumption is unreasonable, Kobayashi-kun has already said that this information was obtained from the Americans, what does it have to do with the devil Tang Qiuli of China, could it be that the Americans and the people of China colluded together to gang up to trap the Japanese Empire?

The generals of the army and a cadre of civilian officials, gloating at this brainless vice admiral, several bigwigs of the navy looked anxious, just now they didn't have time to stop, Takashima this guy got up and set off the cannon, originally, it's right to question, but there is a problem with the angle of your questioning, several bigwigs of the navy looked at Takashima with unkind faces, and scolded in their hearts, "Idiot and stupid pig"

Takashima is not a stupid person, but today it is to see that the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Kobayashi, is not pleasing to the eye, and the fire in his stomach is rushing upwards, and when it comes to the root of the matter, it is still the matter of the Navy's Third Fleet, Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi is Takashima's cousin, the Third Fleet was completely annihilated, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi has no bones left, and it seems that it is all the fault of the Military Intelligence Bureau for not providing information in time

When the Third Fleet sailed to the Andaman Sea, it did not receive any intelligence support for more than ten days, but Ito Yanzaburo, who was in Yangon at the same time, received a large amount of information

After the accident between the Third Fleet and his cousin, Takashima used various connections and connections to investigate behind his back, and the results he got became more and more convinced that this is not obvious discrimination. Thinking of the long-standing land-sea dispute, Xiaolin's black pot can be regarded as solid

Takashima knew that his cousin Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was rigid and self-serving, and whose eyes were too high, was simply disdainful of the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he would rather believe in the intelligence of the Navy than the intelligence from the intelligence bureau of the army system

I always want to find an opportunity to send out this evil fire in my heart, but I can't hit the door of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the opportunity is coming now, so, as soon as Kobayashi finished reading the information, Takashima couldn't wait to jump out, on the surface, he questioned the source and authenticity of Kobayashi's intelligence, but in fact, the idea was to provoke a dispute, extend, and lift the lid in front of His Majesty the Emperor, even if he couldn't pull Xiaolin, a sinister guy, off the horse, he could also vent his evil anger for his cousin who had died

Lieutenant General Kobayashi Hideyama's face was very ugly, for this Takashima, who was not even a nodding friend, suddenly jumped out to attack him, he felt very angry, and he had a sense of grievance that he was shot while lying down, what is this and that? When will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks, and, full of layman's words, isn't this deliberately finding fault?

Xiao Lin thought that he had not offended this high island, and was about to ridicule him, looking at the bull's eye, majestic like a fighting, pulling away from the fight, ready to quarrel with himself Gao Dao, suddenly felt very boring, and such a guy who didn't know how light and heavy and messed around, there was a ** share

Kobayashi has a bottom in his heart, a few hours ago, when he hurriedly presented the information to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty said to himself seriously: "You are a hero of the Great Japanese Empire, do things with your heart, I will not treat you badly," the words are still in his ears, with this confidence, Kobayashi calmed down in his heart, Takashima attacked not himself, but the judgment of His Majesty the Emperor, unlucky guy, there is no good fruit for you to eat

Sure enough, Emperor Hirohito saw this short-eyed guy jump out without a head, questioning this information that was vital to the Japanese Empire, and felt tired and annoyed in his heart, "The facts are all clear, do you have to wait until the Americans do it before you admit the facts?" "If he is an important minister, Hirohito also has to take into account the influence and save some face

But such a guy who is not four or six and barely qualified to participate in the Imperial Council, a small vice admiral, Hirohito will never save face, not to mention, even if he does not have this information, he does not plan to let the Americans go, it is just that time is delayed, "Squire Officer, drive him out, disqualify him from participating in the Imperial Council, deprive him of his military rank, go home and think about it behind closed doors, in order to see the aftermath" Hirohito said coldly

A few attendants came up, without saying a word, a few ripped off Takashima's rank, and ignored him shouting "wronged," and pulled Takashima out of the council hall, the unlucky Takashima, on an inappropriate occasion, in an inappropriate way, did the most stupid thing, isn't this unlucky?

This was just a small episode, and it did not affect the continuation of the meeting in the slightest, and Emperor Hirohito asked slowly, "Ministers, what do you think?" Is we, the Empire of Japan, ready to go to war with the Americans? ”

Isn't this clear, it's just questioning the authenticity of the intelligence, and before he has raised any objections, a vice admiral has become a civilian, not to mention, no matter whether the Americans are ready to do it or not, the empire can't avoid a war with the United States, the rich land of Southeast Asia, rich mineral resources, that is a big piece of oily fat, except for the Great Japanese Empire, no one has the right to occupy it

However, the movement and attitude of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, is the only factor restricting whether the empire uses troops in Southeast Asia, if the Americans really join forces with Tang Qiuli, the Japanese Empire is not sure of victory, Hirohito saw the worries and doubts of the ministers and generals, he is very happy, these important ministers under his command have not lost the ability to think

Hirohito also thought carefully about this point, and consulted the opinions of many ministers and generals, and came to the conclusion that the possibility of Tang Qiuli joining forces with the Americans was very small, and all previous indications also showed that Tang Qiuli and MacArthur could not even talk about face-to-face and heart-to-heart discord, which was nothing more than the wishful thinking of the Americans, a paper treaty of the Central Powers, and dragged together by force

Moreover, what Americans are most worried about at this moment is not the Japanese Empire, but Tang Qiuli, whose power has expanded dramatically, but Hirohito still wants to give the ministers a reassurance, and he asked Zairen: "That Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, what have you done recently?" ”

Zairen comprehended, knew what his elder brother needed, got up and returned respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the report of Major General Kawashima, Chief of Staff of the Imperial Southeast Asia Dispatch Army, after receiving the gold, Tang Qiuli said that within the existing range, the empire can do what it wants, and he will never interfere."

Hirohito laughed proudly, now it seems that he is under pressure to break the fortune and avoid disasters, how clever it is, the ministers and generals looked at His Majesty the Emperor with admiration, in all fairness, they did not expect that the empire paid ten tons of gold, and the harvest was huge, without Tang Qiuli's worries, the US army in Southeast Asia was just a dish

Hirohito stood up from his throne, his face flushed like a fever patient, his eyes looked at the audience fiercely, and the ministers and generals also hurriedly got up, they knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already made a decision, and he only needed to express his position

Hirohito said, "Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of the future of the Japanese Empire, are you ready to fight the Americans at any cost?" The ministers and generals, in great spirits, shouted, "But by your majesty's decree, fight to the death with the Americans," and the admirals of the navy and army, in particular, even quarreled fiercely over the one who had struck at the Americans first

Hirohito stood on the high imperial steps, his heart was surging, and the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers spontaneously arose in his heart, changed his feminine tone, and said loudly: "The General Staff of the base camp is responsible for formulating the Southeast Asian battle plan, and my request is that in four months, that is, before the end of June this year, the flag of the rising sun of our Great Japanese Empire will be planted in the sphere of influence of the Americans, okay, the relevant departments, you can start the preliminary preparations now."

On such an ordinary night, there were fine snowflakes floating on the streets of Tokyo, and a premeditated plan was born, destined to change the strategic pattern of Southeast Asia, MacArthur, who was accustomed to playing intrigue and trickery, would never have thought that he had been targeted by the Japanese, and this qiē was what Tang Qiuli, who was still in Kuala Lumpur at the moment, lingered in the beautiful underwater world with Liu Xinlan, hoped for
