Chapter 125: Election of the Minister of War

The news of the death of the Japanese emperor has been widely reported in the Western media, but the focus has been on interpreting Koiso Kuniaki's speech. The amount of information revealed in this is actually very large, and for those politicians with political acumen and a keen sense of smell, they can see a lot of things from this speech, and then analyze and associate more things.

The Chinese people danced with joy.

The United States saw victory closer to itself.

What the Europeans saw was that Germany's allies were weakened, and that their side was benefited.

The Japanese, on the other hand, see only sorrow.

Muyang stood in front of the windowsill of the office, looking at the tens of thousands of Japanese people gathered in the square downstairs, with a smile on his face.

Others may see these people in the square as trouble, but Mu Yang feels that they are a means that they can use themselves, as long as they are guided a little, these ordinary Japanese people will burst out with unprecedented strength, and those usually tame little sheep will also become hunting dogs, opening their bloody mouths and biting everything they see, and to do all this, Mu Yang needs to guide them.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Kuniaki Koiso's secretary walked in and said, "Your Excellency, the meeting you have arranged is about to come to an end, and all the cabinet members have arrived. ”

Mu Yang withdrew his gaze from the crowd in the square, walked to his desk, took a few pieces of paper from the table in his hand, and walked out, his secretary following closely.

"Is Masao Nakamura here?" Mu Yang asked as he walked.

The secretary hurriedly replied: "Yes, His Excellency the head of the Nakamura Masao Division is already waiting for you outside the venue, and he came a little early today. It was the first to come. ”

Mu Yang smiled slightly and said, "It seems that this guy Nakamura is very happy." That's right, today is a good day for him. It's inevitable that you'll be happy to misremember the time. ”

When Muyang walked outside the door of the venue, he saw Nakamura Masao standing at the door, looking at this side with some anxiety, Muyang walked over with a smile on his face, and Nakamura Masao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are here." ”

"Nakamura-kun, are you a little nervous about whether you can become the Minister of War?" Mu Yang asked with a smile.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Nakamura's face, and he said, "It's okay." All this is taken care of by His Excellency the Prime Minister, and I am sure that it will be possible, and I will just follow in your footsteps. ”

"Then please come in with me, let's face any challenge together, let's go." Speaking of this, Mu Yang raised his head, puffed out his chest, and walked into the black door that was opened by the secretary. Behind him, Masao Nakamura followed closely.

All cabinet members were asked to attend the meeting, and the most important issue was the appointment of a separate Minister of War.

"Ladies and gentlemen. The previous Minister of War, Sugiyama Moto, had already been executed for his involvement in the murder of His Majesty the Emperor because of a premeditated rebellion, and the position of Minister of War could not be left vacant. The theme of our meeting today is the election of another Secretary of War, and you can share your thoughts on what you have. ”

"Of course, as Prime Minister, I want to be the first to state my opinion." Said here. Muyang pointed to Masao Nakamura, who was sitting in the corner of the venue, and said, "I propose that Lieutenant General Masao Nakamura be the Minister of the Imperial Army, of course. If you have other candidates, you can also apply. ”

There was silence in the venue.

Minister of War. It is absolutely necessary to have a certain level of seniority and prestige, and to be recognized by the army before he can be the minister of the army. And if you want to do a good job in the position of Minister of War, to be honest, Masao Nakamura doesn't occupy any of them.

If it is said that Mitsumasa Mine is qualified to do this position, but he is now the sea minister, he can only represent the interests of the navy, so he automatically loses this qualification.

In fact, there are many people who can represent the army in Japan, especially members of the imperial family, many of whom have qualifications that can serve as the Minister of War, but Muyang will never let the imperial family get involved, and others will not easily open this opening.

As for the others, some people don't want to mention it, some people don't dare to mention it, anyway, in the end, no one proposes a suitable candidate.

But at any time, there was no shortage of hard bones, and a person stood up in the venue and said to Muyang: "Your Excellency Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki, I oppose the commander of Nakamura Masao Division that you proposed, because he is not qualified to be the Minister of War at all. ”

The person who spoke was the Minister of the Interior, Shigeo Otada.

When Muyang heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and Nakamura Masao, who was sitting in the corner and listening, suddenly suffocated a little red.

"Why are you against it?" Mu Yang asked with a calm face.

"Because he is only a lieutenant general, or a lieutenant general of the Guards Division, as the Minister of War, he must be able to coordinate the ability of the entire Imperial Army, obviously, Nakamura Masao does not have this ability, if those generals of the Imperial Empire who are fighting abroad are not satisfied with the arrangements of His Excellency the Prime Minister and do not obey the orders of the War Department, then the military operations of the Empire will be seriously affected, so I oppose Nakamura Masao as Minister of War." Dada Shigeo still said sonorously.

Nakamura Masao's face became even more ugly, and if you look closer, you will find that there are green tendons on his forehead that are constantly beating.

But Mu Yang's face remained unchanged as usual, "Your Excellency Daida Shigeo, first of all, I want to tell you a fact, that is, the death of His Majesty the Emperor involved many generals of the empire, and before the specific personnel of the "April Alliance" organization were all investigated, most of the generals of the empire were suspicious, could I suggest that they be the prime ministers." ”

"The current political situation in the empire is chaotic, and the head of Nakamura Masao Division turned the tide and extinguished the rebel organization in one fell swoop, isn't this a merit, why is he not qualified to be the land minister of the empire. Your Excellency Shigeo Dada, first of all, you have to understand one thing, the Imperial Army is the army of the Empire, not the army of the army generals, if the army general does not obey the orders of the War Department, then he is not a qualified soldier, and he is not qualified to lead troops to fight for the Empire. ”

"Finally, I have one more thing to announce here, and that is Your Excellency Shigeo Otada, whose name is on the list of the April Alliance, and how do you explain it? ”

Muyang This is Chiguoguo's retaliation, it's really direct, direct to unreasonable.

The cabinet members in the venue all raised their heads to look at Mu Yang, some of them showed shocked expressions in their eyes, and some of them had worried expressions on their faces, in fact, people knew that this was Mu Yang's revenge, revenge for Da Da Shigeo for opposing his opinion, but this method is too extreme, does Koiso Kuniaki want to make the cabinet his one word, many people are worried.

"Koiso Kuniaki, you are talking nonsense, you are revenge, Chiguoguo's revenge." Dada Shigeo was shocked by Mu Yang's words, and then scolded hysterically and loudly.

He really didn't understand how Koiso Kuniaki dared to use such a low-level, untechnical framing trick on the spot in front of the entire cabinet, wasn't he afraid of causing panic among other cabinet members, such a method was too bad for a politician's level.

How did he know that Muyang, a junior brother in the political arena, the only trick he learned now was to break ten thousand laws with one force, not to be too cruel. (To be continued......)
