"Inform the guards that Shigeo Ōda is suspected of involvement in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor, and take him down for examination."

Nakamura Masao has now become Muyang's loyal lackey, and when he heard Muyang say this, he immediately stood up, called the soldiers at the door, and pulled Shigeo Dada, who was still struggling, down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a small episode, I hope it didn't disturb our meeting, now the meeting continues, I propose that Masao Nakamura be the Minister of War, now you can vote, if you have any objections, please raise your hand." Muyang played a low-level trick again, who wants to be the first bird now, no one in the venue raised their hands, and it was quiet.

Muyang nodded, "It seems that everyone is still very optimistic about Nakamura Masao's proposal to serve as Minister of War, and it was unanimously approved, okay, this topic is over, and now Nakamura Masao has officially become the Minister of War." Muyang turned his head to Nakamura Masao and said, "Nakamura-kun, please sit here, now your position is here." Muyang pointed to a chair beside him and said.

Nakamura Masao stood up and straightened his uniform, then walked to the front of the conference table with his head tilted and sat down next to Muyang.

"Nakamura-kun, if you have any thoughts and suggestions about serving as the Minister of the Imperial Army, you can put them forward here." Muyang said.

Nakamura Masao cleared his throat and said, "In view of the fact that the head of the General Staff Headquarters, Umezu Mijiro, participated in the rebellion and has been executed, and the Imperial General Staff Headquarters is paralyzed, I propose that the Chief of the General Staff be immediately elected and the General Staff Headquarters be reorganized. ”

As soon as Masao Nakamura came up, he threw out such a topic, and the cabinet members in the meeting immediately cheered up. Seriously sound.

"As Minister of War, I have the right and responsibility to elect the Chief of the General Staff, but the current situation in the Imperial Army is not optimistic. The suspicions of many people have not yet been clarified, so the vast majority of people cannot hold this position, at least not at the moment, so I propose that His Excellency the Prime Minister should first take up the post of Chief of the Army General Staff, and I don't know what you think. ”

Many people hear this. I scolded Koiso Kuni Showa and Nakamura Masao in my heart for being so shameless, and Koiso Kuniaki just pushed Nakamura Masao to the front and became the Minister of War. Masao Nakamura immediately gave the position of chief of staff to Kuniaki Koiso. What are you two asking us cabinet members to do here, to watch the play, your script has been rehearsed several times, and you are so skillful. I don't have to stumble when I speak.

But now Masao Nakamura is the Minister of War. He has the right to propose a candidate for chief of staff, and his opinion should occupy an important position, after all, in terms of subordination, the chief of staff should be under the management of the Minister of War.

"I agree with this proposal of the Prime Minister, His Excellency the Prime Minister was originally from the Army, has also served in the General Staff Headquarters, and is very familiar with the operation of the General Staff Headquarters, and is the best candidate now. I support His Excellency the Prime Minister's appointment as Chief of Army Staff. ”

As a cabinet member of the Muyang faction, Justice Minister Hiromasa Matsusaka immediately agreed to the proposal.

Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, and Culture Jishige Ninomiya also said, "I also support the appointment of prime minister. ”

"I also agree with this proposal. His Excellency the Prime Minister is also the Chief of the General Staff, which is the best option now. Treasury Minister Shotaro Ishiwatari also agreed.

In the current Japanese cabinet, the original 14 cabinet ministers, including Sugiyama Moto, and quartermaster Fujiwara Injiro, had already killed three people in Muyang, but today at the meeting venue, Minister of the Interior Shigeo Ōda was arrested, and four of the 14-member cabinet have been removed.

Now the Minister of War has become Nakamura Masao again, and he is definitely a diehard member of Muyang. Minister of Justice Hiromasa Matsusaka and Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture Hashige Ninomiya were originally on the same line as Koiso Kuniaki. Although the Minister of Finance, Shotaro Ishiwatari is not a subordinate of Koiso Kuniaki, but the relationship between the two is irreversible, and Ishiwatari Shotaro is also very supportive of Koiso Kuniaki's opinion in normal times, and now that Koiso Kuniaki is in power, it is even more impossible for him to stand up against it.

Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi is cunning and cunning, and he also said that he does not oppose the proposal.

The Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi, has been silent since the beginning of the meeting, and has been watching all this coldly, he understands in his heart that Koiso Kuniaki is now in power, and he has been a little carried away in doing things, but as the spokesperson and head of the navy, he still thinks more about the navy.

Life is not easy for the Japanese Navy today.

After the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Japanese Navy lost nearly half of its sea power, and now the Navy can only nest at its own doorstep, defend its own coastal waters, and guard against the sneak attack of the US fleet at any time, now the glory of the Navy is no longer what it used to be, what Mitsumasa Minai wants most now is to maintain the strength of the Navy and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the American fleet, he still hopes that there will be a stable environment in the country, and do a good job of backing the Navy. It is estimated that Koiso Kuniaki will not agree, since it is a matter of the army, he still does not mix, so he should take care of his own navy first.

In addition to the increase in the naval budget promised by Koiso Kuniaki to himself, in the end, Mitsumasa Yonechi nodded slightly, and agreed to the proposal that Koiso Kuniaki should also serve as the chief of the general staff.

The five ministers of the cabinet have all agreed to this bill, and the people of Muyang's faction have also stood up to support it, and others have no right to refute it at all, and the proposal by Muyang as the chief of the general staff has been passed, and from today, Muyang can officially take office.

After the meeting, Muyang left Nakamura Masao, Minister of Justice Matsusaka Hiromasa, and Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture Minister Jishige Ninomiya, and asked the secretary to pour tea for the three of them, Muyang said: "Now the situation of the empire is full of crises, and externally, although our war in China seems to have achieved great results now, you also know that the empire has done its best in China, and it is difficult to go deeper. ”

"In Southeast Asia, the United States is pressing forward step by step, and the war situation is very unfavorable for us. The navy was incompetent, a naval battle caused the empire to lose its naval supremacy, and the army was also implicated, losing many very important bases under enemy fire. ”

"Domestically, the treasury is becoming increasingly empty, the front-line troops are fighting frequently, and the domestic logistics support has been stretched. What's more, even in such a crisis, Hideki Tojo and others intended to rebel and kill His Majesty the Emperor, making the situation in the empire even worse. ”

"I left you behind, do you know what's going on?" Saying this, Muyang stopped, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and gasped.

Where did the three of them know Muyang's thoughts, Nakamura Masao said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if there is anything you command." ”

Muyang put down the teacup and said, "Okay, let's talk about the domestic side first, don't you think that now is our opportunity." (To be continued......)
