Umezu Mijiro straightened his general's uniform and sat in his office chair, waiting for the final moment.

With a "Peng", the office door was kicked open, and several gun-wielding soldiers rushed in, led by a military officer.

Umezu Mijiro stood up and yelled at the soldiers who rushed in: "Bastard, do you know what this place is, this is the General Staff Headquarters, my Umezu Mijiro's office, let your commander come and see me." ”

The military cao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, General, I am ordered to arrest you, please don't resist." ”

"Bastard, didn't you understand me?" Umezu Mijiro had been ignored like this by a small soldier.

"Your Excellency, I am acting on orders, please cooperate, if you have anything, you can see our chief saying, now I'm sorry." Then he said to the soldiers beside him, "Tie up Your Excellency, General, and take it away." ”

Several soldiers rushed forward like wolves, took out a rope and tied Umezu Mijiro into a knot, Umezu Mijiro scolded, these people didn't pay attention, and directly carried Umezu Mijiro downstairs like a piglet.

Umezu Mijiro was brought to Taji Chaoichi, although Umezu Mijiro didn't know Taji Chaoichi, but looking at his rank, he also knew that Taji Chaoichi was the commander of this unit, Umezu Mijiro roared at Taji Chaoichi: "Do you know what you are doing, you are attacking the general staff headquarters of the empire, attacking the most important military department of the empire, and arresting an imperial marshal, who gave you the right and courage to dare to do this." ”

Tian Lu Chaoyi said with a gloomy face: "It's His Majesty the dead Emperor Showa." ”

Umezu Mijiro was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Who wants to harm me, His Majesty the Emperor's death has nothing to do with me, this is definitely a frame-up, someone is trying to frame me." ”

"Don't say these things to me. Someone will ask you. Then Taro Chaoyi said to the soldiers, "Shut the mouth of General Umezu Yoshijiro, take him back and keep him under strict guard, and no one is allowed to come into contact with him." ”

Umezu Mijiro was still being carried away, and he felt extremely humiliated, but there was nothing he could do.

Tian Lu Chaoyi walked into the compound of the General Staff Headquarters. There were a lot of corpses piled up at the gate of the courtyard, there were the first brigade and the guard squadron, no matter which side of the people, these people were soldiers of the empire.

"Find someone to clean up the corpses of the soldiers, and all the soldiers here are properly buried." Tian Lu commanded.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." A staff officer hurriedly replied.

Tian Lu Chaoyi stood in the courtyard, watching the soldiers keep taking out the staff members of the staff headquarters and taking them away, with a satisfied smile on his face. His Excellency the Division Commander asked for three hours to complete the task. It only took me more than an hour, and it seems that the results are still very good.

And the same thing happened in the War Department, which is not too far from the General Staff Headquarters, but the difference is that the Defense Department of the War Department is not as good as the General Staff Headquarters. Sugiyama Motoshi had been captured, the army headquarters was leaderless, and when Kitani Shitoshi led his fourth wing to surround the army headquarters, the entire army headquarters was in chaos. None of the deputy ministers had an idea.

The Guards Squadron only symbolically stopped, and saw that the Guards Division really opened fire. The Guards Squadron chose to give up resistance and let the Guards Division directly send people to storm the War Department and arrest all the staff inside. When Taji Chaoichi was still complacent about his quick takeover of the staff headquarters, he didn't know that Kitani Shitoshi's Fourth Wing was moving faster than him.

However, the operation of the 3rd and 4th Wings to attack the Army Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters was not the highlight of today, but Nakamura Masao left Kiyomi Shimizu with other arrangements.

"Shimizu-kun. Here is a list, you have to personally lead people to arrest these people, this is the list personally explained by His Excellency the Prime Minister, is there a problem? Nakamura Masao looked at Kiyomi Shimizu and said.

Kiyomi Shimizu took the list and looked at it, only to feel that half of her body was cold. "Your Excellency the Division Commander, are you sure, these people are all ......" he couldn't say any more.

"Shimizu-kun, success or failure is here, our future is in our own hands, is it difficult to take you Don't you want to become an imperial general, we can only get to that point by relying on the trust of His Majesty the new Emperor. Shimizu-kun, are you willing to fight with me? ”

Kiyomi Shimizu thought about it for a while, and suddenly made up her mind and said, "I understand Your Excellency, the division commander, I will complete this task well." ”

Then Masao Nakamura whispered two more words in Kiyomi's ear, Kiyomi Shimizu nodded heavily, and left the command headquarters with his own people.

In Hideki Tojo's apartment, Hideki Tojo was drinking tea and chatting with Shigetaro Shirataro Shimada and Minamijiro at this time, and the content of the chat was about the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor and the future trend of Japanese politics.

These three people are old friends, and Shigetaro Shigetaro Shimada was the Minister of the Navy when Hideki Tojo was prime minister, and he can be regarded as one of Hideki Tojo's loyal followers. Minamijiro, who was formerly the commander of the Kwantung Army, is now a privy advisor.

"Your Excellency Tojo, don't you think this matter is very strange, who exactly wanted to kill Emperor Showa, and what is the purpose?" Minamijiro said leisurely after taking a sip of tea.

"Although Koiso Kuniaki has the name of the Tiger of the Far East, he is very measured in his work, but why did he suddenly leave aside the War Department and transfer the Guards Division to Tokyo this time, what does he want to do, is there any conspiracy we don't know about." Shigetaro Shimada said.

After the two finished speaking, they both looked at Hideki Tojo, who had been pondering.

Hideki Tojo touched his bald head, "Now that we are not in the cabinet, we have a great grasp of the political situation of the empire as before, but the strength of the imperial army is not something that anyone can shake." Emperor Meiji is such a wise person, after so many years of hard work, what is the result, it is not the War Department that holds the initiative, they cannot turn the sky. ”

"Then what should we do next, can we take this opportunity to come to power again?" Shitaro Shimada asked.

"As the prime minister, the assassination of the emperor Koiso Kuniaki has an unshirkable responsibility, and this is also our opportunity, we can take the opportunity to remove him from power, as long as we make the right layout, we may not be able to come to the fore again." Minamijiro said.

Hideki Tojo nodded, and was about to say something, when Teruo Tojo, the second son of Hideki Tojo, walked in quickly, with a nervous look on his face.

"Why are you so flustered?" Hideki Tojo rebuked in a low voice.

"Father, something is wrong, just now the Guards Division began to transfer troops, the third wing went to the direction of the staff headquarters, and the fourth wing went to the army headquarters, you see if something is going to happen." Teruo Tojo said in a bit of a panic.

Hideki Tojo's eyes narrowed, and he felt a hint of something strange. looked at the two old guys, stood up and said: "There may be a big incident, we have to prepare, you go back first, and tomorrow we will summon people to the parliament together to carry out the accountability action against Koiso Kuniaki."
