Chapter 42: The Japanese Traitors (II)

Due to the unfortunate encounter with the "Heavenly Punishment" assassin on the way, although he was not injured, he was blown up and damaged the bulletproof car, delaying the trip, coupled with a series of troubles in dealing with the aftermath, Foreign Minister Kishigero Bihara waited until noon before arriving at the office of the provisional government. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

INTERVIEWER Originally, the office of the Provisional Government of Japan was naturally located in the city hall building in Yokohama, but it was not long before the bomber formations of the Japanese resistance forces bombed into a pile of rubble, and the entire surrounding neighborhood was scorched. Then, because the entire cabinet team was reluctant to work in a dark air-raid trench, the provisional government simply moved to a high-class kiosk in the suburbs - anyway, since the beginning of the Curtain Downfall Movement, Japanese aspirants have always had a tradition of enjoying "great health care" while talking about state affairs in the Fugetsu place. In the past, the famous minister Ito Hirobumi also lived in a green building to take care of government affairs, and now it seems that it is a matter of course to move the entire government into a brothel.

Although the Japanese archipelago is now struggling with war and destruction, it is now the time of day when spring is bright and everything is in full bloom. When Kishigero Bihara walked into this high-end restaurant that was requisitioned by the provisional government, he immediately felt an elegant and quiet atmosphere.

Overall, this high-end pavilion, which was requisitioned as the seat of the provisional government, is an elegant and quiet garden-like building, with flowers and trees everywhere, and it looks vibrant because the grass sprouts and the branches and leaves are new. The clusters of low and knotted ornamental pines and cypresses look quite pleasing to the eye; The thick lying stone and the quaint stone incense burner are used as a foil, which can be regarded as quite elegant.

What's even more amazing is that it is the time of the cherry blossoms, and although some of them had to be cut down when digging the emergency bomb shelter, the remaining Yae cherry blossoms and Daisen cherry blossoms in the garden are still in full bloom. The beautiful Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, thin ink cherry blossoms, and cold scarlet cherry blossoms are in full bloom and are in full bloom. Such a splendid beauty, as well as the bright red and purple, thick fat and light pink, and the handmaidens and singers under the flowers, made Foreign Minister Kishigero Bihara, who had just been in a bad mood because of the assassination, feel so happy that he completely forgot that beyond the wall, there was a human purgatory mixed with hunger, pestilence, poverty, hatred, and death, and a suffering mass with yellow faces and thin muscles, which was described as withered and like evil spirits......

When he walked into a luxurious box that served as a conference room, he opened the paper door and smelled the smell of food and drink, and immediately found that the cabinet members of the provisional government had already eaten. On the low hollow-shaped table in front of everyone, there are a variety of foods such as grilled fish, tempura, green beans, and Fukujin stains, as well as sake, sweets, and canned fruits. These things may not have been too rare before the war, but today they are luxury dishes that most Japanese people can't dream of. Canned beef from the U.S. military is also boiled in a small pot to give off an enticing aroma.

And Senior General Mutaguchi Ryoya, Minister of War of the Provisional Government, who was already slightly drunk, was leaning on a few cushions, half-lying and half-lying on the tatami mats, raising a glass to greet Bihara, "...... Yo! Your Excellency Bihara, I heard that you met the heavenly punishment again in the morning? Let's have a few drinks together! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

- Mutaguchi Ryoya, one of the celebrities of the Japanese Army in World War II, and the most hated general of the Japanese army, known as the "ghost animal Mutaguchi...... However, this "ghost animal" is not to say how bloody and cruel he is, but to say that this thing is both irresponsible and shameless, and is known for being good at putting on a show and showing off his official tone and extremely disregard for the lives of officers and soldiers, and he looks like a politician. But his show is so clumsy that it can only make people's eggs hurt.

In the history of another world, this guy commanded and launched the famous Battle of Imphal in 1944, gathering 100,000 troops from Burma to attack Imphal in northeastern India - the reason why the Battle of Imphal is famous is not how magnificent and epic this battle is, but because it is too funny: this Lieutenant General Mutakou brought into full play the tradition of the imperial army's "do not want to stand on the army" to the fullest, with outrageous strategic judgment, frequent command errors, extreme contempt for logistics, and the "wisdom of Genghis Khan" (Eat wherever you go) such jokes, causing more imperial soldiers to starve to death than to die in battle.

What's even more shameful is that just when the 100,000 troops on the front line starved to death and died miserably, he was in the rear headquarters in Yangon while overeating beef hot pot while repairing the shrine, worshipping Amaterasu every day, and gaining weight by the way. In addition, the commander of three divisions was illegally removed in a record way (the division commander could only be removed from his post by order of the emperor), forcing the 31st Division to collectively disobey the order, and the attacking troops lost more than 80 percent.

After the defeat, he also swore that he pretended to apologize for his seppuku, thinking that his subordinates would persuade him, but who knew that all his subordinates wished that he would ascend to heaven quickly, and none of them persuaded him to spare his life. And after the failure of Lieutenant General Mutaguchi's show, he was still cheeky and acted as if there was no such thing, and he didn't have a samurai demeanor at all. After the war, Mutaguchi still refused to admit that Imphal's defeat was his responsibility, and every time someone in his old Burma subordinates died, Mutaguchi Lian always had to be present at the funeral, and he had the cheekiness to distribute pamphlets to everyone to explain that Imphal's defeat had nothing to do with him. Even if people are watching and cheering, they refuse to give up, which is really stubborn. And "Mutaguchi Ryoya" has also become synonymous with shamelessness in modern Japanese.

What's more, this "ghost animal Mutaguchi" not only had his brain flooded when he fought with the British army, but he was stiffly obsessed with the so-called "Genghis Khan" style tactics, and even after the war, he was still stubborn, and actually changed his career and opened a restaurant, named "Genghis Khan's Restaurant...... The reason why modern Japanese people call teppanyaki dishes, especially roast lamb, "Genghis Khan", is actually a "new concept" invented by this "ghost animal Mutaguchi......

And in this chaotic time and space of historical changes, Vice Admiral Mutaguchi Ryoya also attacked India from Burma and launched a Battle of Imphal, and the time was advanced from 1944 to 1943 - when the Japanese Combined Fleet turned west after the first total annihilation of the US Pacific Fleet, invaded the Indian Ocean on a large scale, and easily occupied the island of Ceylon; Hindu nationalist leader Chandra. Bose led the Indian National Army to land in the port of Goa, which not only repelled the counterattacking British army, but also successfully instigated several princely states in southern India to revolt one after another; The Kingdom of Iran also joined the Axis forces at this time and sent troops east to Balochistan; Internally, the Indian National Congress Party took the opportunity to convene a congress and passed a "resolution calling for Britain to withdraw from India......

In the midst of the chaos, the British colonial authorities in India, who were surrounded by enemies on all sides, resorted to another trick, forcibly disbanded the Congress Party, executed a number of anti-British elements, and arrested and imprisoned Nehru and Gandhi, two famous leaders of the Congress Party, which further aggravated the situation, causing many indigenous Indian soldiers to mutiniate one after another, and riots broke out throughout the Indian subcontinent from south to north. Nehru and Gandhi were soon rescued by rioting soldiers, and began to turn the non-violent non-cooperation movement into armed resistance, and the British colonial rule of India was already showing signs of collapse.

Seeing such an extremely favorable situation on the battlefield in India, the Japanese Army, represented by Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, was also itching and wanted to compete with the Imperial Navy that was sweeping across the Indian Ocean for some battle merits. Since the main force of the Combined Fleet was engaged in a fierce battle with the British Eastern Fleet and was unable to cover the land across the Bay of Bengal, the Army could only attack India by land. As Tojo's pro-confidant, Mutaguchi Ryoya, who was still a lieutenant general at the time, immediately adhered to his intentions and gathered the strength of three divisions in Mandalay, the ancient capital of central Burma, plus more than 10,000 Burmese volunteers of General Aung San, a total of 100,000 troops, and prepared to go to the East Indies with high spirits, and went straight to Imphal, so as not to let the navy and Bose's Indian National Army dominate the front.

However, despite the advance of the time by a year, the geography of the battlefield has not changed - Imphal is a border city in eastern India on the border with Myanmar, and is located on the Indo-Burmese border in the Himalayan ridge, which is a world-famous barren land. Between Burma and the East Indies, the mountains stretch for hundreds of kilometres, with towering peaks, some up to 10,000 feet above sea level. And before crossing these high mountains, there are two major obstacles in Myanmar: one is the Chindun River, which is 1,000 meters wide; The other is the Mingjing Mountain Range, which is 2,500 feet above sea level and has an area of 50 kilometers, which is a sea of forests and a miasma that is rarely visited by natives. There are only two or three roads on the march, the shortest of which is Mandalay – Ripple – Damu – Imphal – Kohima – Dimapur, but even this road is mostly a steep trail that stretches for 1,200 kilometres from Mandalay. This barren area is one of the rainiest areas in the world, and during the monsoon period from June to September, the region is covered with heavy rain for days or even weeks, flooding all rivers and valleys, collapsing roads, and completely cutting off traffic.

Therefore, when Mutaguchi Ryoya put forward the concept of the campaign, all the staff officers of the front command unanimously objected, believing that it was impossible to maintain such an exaggerated supply line, and the army would starve to death halfway through, and even if it did not starve to death, ammunition could not be transported. However, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya gave full play to his true colors as a ghost animal at this time, and insisted on overriding public opinion, waving the military orders of the base camp to force the generals to obey: "...... You can't fight a war without supplies? How can that work! The Japanese army was able to endure any hardship. Grain can be taken from the enemy...... We have discussed the details of this operation in detail and solved them all. Therefore, success should be obvious......"

And his subordinates sarcastically said: "...... The details discussed by His Excellency the Commander do not seem to take into account the enemy's resistance. Moreover, the enemy is 1,200 kilometers away, and there is no desert in between, and our soldiers are starving to death on the road before they can capture food......"

Despite this, the base camp has finally issued a combat order, and even if it is an active death such as a "jade crushing special attack", it can only be obediently executed. Therefore, no matter how much resentment there was in their stomachs, the three divisions and regiments on the front line still began to prepare for war and mobilize, racking their brains to prepare ammunition and food. In view of the extremely poor road conditions on the Indo-Burmese border, it was difficult to run a car, and the baggage materials could only rely mainly on mules and horses, but due to the short preparation time, the Japanese army could not make up so many mules and horses on the spot in Burma!! and other animals, one can carry military supplies, and the other can be slaughtered to satisfy hunger when military food is scarce, killing two birds with one stone, and even the preparation of dry food can save a lot - the so-called "Genghis Khan battle plan".

However, these cows, sheep, elephants and monkeys are not as obedient as military mules and military horses, and they do not leave, they go backwards, or walk randomly, once they encounter air raids or hear gunshots, they are even more frightened and scattered, carrying the ammunition of the Japanese army around, causing a large amount of material loss, but increasing the logistics crisis of the Japanese army - after the departure of the army, if a cow runs, then the rations and ammunition of the Japanese army team will be gone......

In this way, the 100,000 Japanese-Burmese coalition troops took even the food that was not enough for one way, plus only half a base of ammunition, and stepped westward into the reckless jungle - because it took too much time to raise grain and livestock, when the Japanese army set off, it was already close to the rainy season, and all the staff officers bitterly advised Mutaguchi Lian to postpone the battle and wait until the rainy season was over, but Mutaguchi Lian also insisted on going his own way, thinking that with the foot strength of the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, he would definitely be able to complete this 1,200 kilometers of mountain roads before the rainy season. Then all you need to do is fire three empty guns into the sky, and the enemy in Imphal will surrender.

As a result, the rainy season this year was earlier than the staff officers expected, and the main force of the Japanese army had just crossed the Chindun River, when the pouring rain was already pouring down, and for a time the turbid waves on the Chindun River were raging, the river water was surging, the ferries and pontoon bridges were all washed away, and the three divisions of the Japanese army could not retreat for more than 85,000 days, so they had to pinch their noses and continue to move forward. However, General Aung San's more than 10,000 Burmese volunteers were able to return safely because they had not crossed the river because they were the last.

Then, the Japanese troops of these three divisions experienced a nightmarish death march in the torrential rain - the heavy rain like a reservoir bursting from morning to midnight, the roads were all turned into mire, and everyone could only struggle and squirm in the mire as if they were crossing a swamp. It became an impossible task to make a fire and cook, and the soldiers first ate canned food, and after eating the canned food, they could only chew raw rice to eat, or kill animals to eat raw meat, and as a result, many people suffered from digestive diseases. And there are people who get lost or are swept away by flash floods on the road...... The three division commanders at the front repeatedly asked for airdrops from the rear, but it was difficult for Japanese planes to take off in the rainstorm, and the Japanese Army had few planes in Burma......

So, while eating beef hot pot in Yangon, Muta Kouzhong drafted a classic "ghost animal" telegram: The Japanese have been a herbivorous people since ancient times. Surrounded by such dense jungle, you report a lack of food? What's going on!

As a result, even on occasional sunny days, the Japanese troops struggling in the quagmire received very few airdrop supplies, but were bombed by Allied planes more often...... The hungry soldiers began to ignore the obstacles of their superiors, fried fish with grenades, and shot birds without authorization, so that they barely starved to death.

In the end, when the Japanese troops of these three divisions discarded most of their heavy weapons and consumed a lot of ammunition, and struggled to reach Imphal, the whole army had lost more than 10,000 people, and they had completely run out of food, and nearly half of the rest were sick...... Then, these Great Imperial Japanese Army, which had become beggars, got good news and bad news in Imphal: the good news was that in order to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion in Bengal, the British troops originally assembled in Imphal had all retreated, voluntarily abandoned this area, and the Japanese army could enter the city without a fight. The bad news is that the British army destroyed all the supplies very carefully before retreating, even the citizens were alerted to evacuate in advance, and the Japanese did not capture any ammunition and food in the city.

What to do? Naturally, it was looted on the spot! Tens of thousands of Japanese troops began to loot houses in the surrounding countryside, and the result was an immediate fierce revolt - the local indigenous groups and princes and nobles had obtained a lot of weapons when the British troops withdrew, while the Japanese troops, who had just walked 1,200 kilometers of mountain roads, did not even have a few bullets, and were hungry and sick. After several scuffles, although the Japanese army grabbed a little rice, tens of thousands of people died. Moreover, the ammunition was almost exhausted, and it was surrounded and suppressed as robbers by several local princes and tribal leaders, and it was impossible to gain a foothold in the local area......

By the time they continued to advance southwest, reaching Bengal in the Ganges Delta, where they were joined by a small group of marines sent by the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the three divisions together were only a mere 20,000 half-dead starvation - the whole operation did not destroy a single British army, nor did it hold any territory, nor did it have the slightest strategic and tactical significance.

And Mutaguchi Ryoya, who never left Rangoon during the entire battle, although he was hated by all the soldiers and scolded as a ghost animal, but because he was a close confidant of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, instead of being punished in any way, he was promoted to army general because of "successful operation" - in any case, he still attacked Imphal and achieved the goal of the campaign. Then, this ghost animal general was quickly incorporated into the reserve and sent to teach at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto: burying three divisions at a time, this tactical level only needs to be taught once, and if you come a few times, the imperial army will collapse.

However, no matter which time and space it is, Mutaguchi Ryoya seems to be the same cheeky. Although they have been scolded as ghost animals, this thing still shamelessly boasts about his achievements all day long, and even wants to go into politics...... When the "Provisional Government of Japan," which advocated unconditional surrender, was established in Kyoto, Mutaguchi Lianya immediately came to beg for official positions, and his mouth was even more eloquent: "...... Speaking of the Greater East Asia War, that is my responsibility. It was I who gave the order to fire the first shot at the Lugou Bridge, so as the person responsible, I must try to end this war as soon as possible......"

And Kishigero Bihara, who presided over the provisional government, and the representatives of the chaebol at that time, happened to be suffering from the lack of high-ranking generals to serve and could not grasp the military power, and saw that Mutaguchi was a general, so they let this "ghost animal Mutaguchi" be the land minister, and then fled to Yokohama together.

And this well-known "ghost animal Mu Taguchi", after taking office, seems to be very compatible with the "American and British ghost animals", relying on the chaebols' secret hoarding of living materials and the logistics provided by the US military, in just a few months to recruit five divisions of the US military unit - although the Japanese in this era are generally brainwashed by militarism and the idea of respecting the emperor, the national consciousness has long been awakened, and they still think that they are a superior nation, and it is not so easy to defect to the enemy camp, but when there is no food and clothing, and the family is about to starve to death, In the same way, there is no way to force the Japanese people to remain loyal to the monarch and patriotism......

Since China's Eighth Route Army was able to transform Japanese prisoners of war into an "anti-war alliance," it was natural that relying on the strong strength and abundant supplies of the US military would naturally be able to pull out a vote of puppet cannon fodder -- in fact, soon after landing in Japan, there were already US generals who forcibly conscripted Japanese to serve as military laborers, and then began to use canned biscuits and other daily necessities as a temptation to recruit "volunteer" troops from among the Japanese to supplement the US military's transportation, security, and logistics forces. However, they had no connection to the Provisional Government, let alone military status, and were at best personal servants hired by front-line officers.

It wasn't until the "ghost animal Mutaguchi" Lu Xiang came forward to reorganize these stragglers with the support of the US military high-level and expand them, that they had the appearance of an army - although they were all light infantry without even machine guns, although the combat effectiveness, organization and loyalty of these soldiers could not be compared with the original Imperial Japanese Army, but after all, this allowed the provisional government in Yokohama to catch a little bit of a gun, and it was no longer completely an empty government with no money, no soldiers, and no one listened to anything, and I felt a little more confident in my heart. The US military has also initially achieved the goal of "Japanizing" the war and "using the Japanese to fight the Japanese" so that the Americans will shed less blood.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In addition to Mutaguchi Ryoya, the "ghost animal land minister", the minister of the sea and the commander of the military police of the Japanese provisional government in Yokohama is also a celebrity in the Pacific War - Lieutenant General Nagumo Tadaichi! Mutaguchi also provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident and fired the first shot of the Greater East Asia War, while Nagumo Tadaichi commanded the Japanese aircraft carrier mobile fleet to attack Pearl Harbor four years ago and fired the first shot of the Pacific War......

However, compared to the high-spirited Mutaguchi Ryoya Lu Xiang, Nagumo Tadashi is much more restrained, and he rarely speaks, and at this time he just shrank in the corner to eat and drink silently, and only slightly raised his hand to Bihara Kishigero.

In fact, before joining this provisional government, Nagumo Tadaichi and Mutaguchi Ryoshi were also outdated window clansmen.

- Although they cooperated closely during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the relationship between Nagumo Tadaichi and Yamamoto Isoroku was actually very bad, the two were political enemies in the past, and in addition, Nagumo Tadaichi was an expert in torpedo warfare, but he did not have the talent for aviation combat, so he was a layman in command of an insider. If it were possible, Yamamoto Isoroku was very reluctant to promote and reuse Nagumo Tadaichi.

But the problem is that in the early days of the Pacific War, the fledgling Yamamoto Fifty-six had to reuse Nagumo Tadaichi, because the backer behind Nagumo Tadaichi was Admiral Nagano Shuse, the soul of the Japanese Navy at that time, and if it were not for Nagano Shushi's nod, Yamamoto Isoroku would not be the commander of the Combined Fleet at all. Even if he was reluctant, he could only let Nagumo Tadaichi command the aircraft carrier and endure Nagumo's various mistakes......

Therefore, when he had accumulated enough merit and prestige to no longer have to be afraid of Nagano Shushen, the veteran of the navy, Yamamoto Isoroku decisively kicked Nagumo Tadaichi out of the combined fleet and was promoted to Kure Port to become the commander of the town guard, and since then he has been reduced to the window clan.

The three words of the town guard mansion sound very powerful, and the level is really high enough, theoretically the same level as the commander of the combined fleet, which is equivalent to the "big military region level", but why let Nagumo Zhongyi serve as the commander of the Wugang town guard mansion, is to let him be the window clan?

In other words, the so-called commander of the town guard office can actually manage the military port and the shore facilities centered on the military port. the minimum level of maritime military force (some armed dinghys) required to maintain the vigilance of the military port......

If you take a closer look, you will find that the routine operation of the military port and wharf warehouses and the training of the Marine Corps basically do not need to be asked by the commander, and the ships stationed in the harbor are not in charge of the commander of the town guard office, although the marines are usually dispatched by the town guard office, but in wartime, the naval command department has to reorganize the new sequence and put it into battle, in other words, unless the enemy hits the port outside the town guard house, the commander of the town guard house has no work most of the time, in the words of a Japanese Navy insider, The characteristics of the post of the commander of the town guard can be summed up as "three absolutes" - "absolutely spacious enough office, absolutely loud enough name, absolutely no power"...... It is somewhat similar to the Party History Office in modern China.

Because of this, within the system of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the post of commander of the town guard office has always been used to "settle the old-timers" and provide a better way out for those senior admirals who are senior and have not yet obtained real power positions. A veteran entering the town guard basically means waiting for retirement, and is usually not considered to have a political future.

Therefore, after being driven to the position of the commander of the Wugang Town Guard, Nagumo Tadaichi, the hero of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, really only had the mind of retiring from the past, except for planting flowers and raising grass is sleeping flowers and willows, except for occasionally going to the nearby Jiangtian Island Naval Academy to visit and recall his youthful student years, and he didn't even care much about the ongoing war.

When he suddenly learned that Tokyo and the entire central government had been razed to the ground by the atomic bomb, and that no one was giving orders to him or her head, and no one was going to pay him military pay and pension, Nagumo Tadashi was completely stunned, and he didn't know what to do at all, so he just watched the radio every day to inquire about the news. A few days later, when he heard that a provisional government of Japan had emerged in Kyoto, led by former Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, Nagumo Tadaichi basically didn't think much about it, so he subconsciously sent a telegram to obey the order from there, and issued another notice, instructing the naval fleet in Kure Port to stop resisting, mothballing ships and weapons, and preparing to surrender to the American forces. The Provisional Government, which was still in Kyoto at the time, was overjoyed when it heard that there were naval celebrities like Nagumo Tadaichi who were willing to serve, and immediately made him a high position as Minister of the Navy.

Who knew that although the old man Nanyun Zhongyi didn't want to fight anymore, the young man below had a completely different idea. The order to surrender the American troops immediately led to riots and mutinies. As soon as Nagumo Zhong saw that the situation was out of control, he didn't dare to suppress it, so he immediately ran away without responsibility, going around all the way, and finally ran to Yokohama to find the provisional government and take up his position as prime minister...... It's just that compared to Mutaguchi Ryoya, who has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Nagumo Tadaichi is a completely empty title, except for an inland river wooden boat transport team that assists the US military in transporting supplies, there is not even a slightly decent combat ship, and that transport boat team is also directly under the orders of the US military, and basically does not belong to him. In order to give Nagumo Tadaichi something to do, the provisional government made him the commander of the gendarmerie in Yokohama to manage the basic security of the territory.

-- Foreign Minister and Acting Prime Minister Kishigero Bihara, Minister of Land Mutaguchi Ryoya, Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Military Police Nagumo Tadaichi, these are the "troika" that constitute the provisional government of Japan in Yokohama. Kishigero Bihara was in charge of communicating with the U.S. military, Mutaguchi was also in charge of forming a "puppet army", and Nagumo Tadaichi was in charge of law and order in Yokohama, while trying to recruit members of the navy. In addition, although there are members such as the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, and the Minister of Finance, it is purely an empty official position, because the provisional government mainly relies on donations from the chaebol and appropriations from the US military, and basically has little blood-making ability, and it is not known when it will be able to operate normally.

And on the top of this provisional government, whether to set up another emperor and follow the monarchy, or imitate the United States and change to a republican system, and if the monarchy is followed, who should be the emperor has not yet been finalized for the time being - the initial opinion of the White House is naturally to abolish the emperor system, but today the emperor and his family have basically turned into radiation dust. However, the Provisional Government, which had insight into Japan's internal affairs, was well aware of the great role of the emperor as a spiritual totem in Japan, so it repeatedly made a case to the United States and persuaded some of the US front-line generals...... The issue is currently on hold.

In short, after sharing a hearty meal together, and having a full meal one by one. The leaders of the Yokohama Provisional Government, under the auspices of Foreign Minister and Acting Prime Minister Kishigero Bihara, began their daily working meetings – only to hear Kishigero Bihara clear his throat, "...... Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, the first item on the agenda of this meeting is the plan to establish 'strategic villages' in order to cooperate with the Allied forces' sweeping operations, eliminate the red guerrillas, concentrate the population in the Kanto Plain and the rural areas of Tokaido. According to the instructions I had just received from General Patton in the morning, the plan needed ......"

However, Kishigero Bihara's speech had just begun when he was interrupted by a secretary who suddenly broke in. I saw Kishigero Bihara look at the note handed to him by the secretary with a displeased expression, and suddenly his face changed abruptly, revealing a strange expression that seemed to be both seriously frightened and embarrassed.

After another moment, Kishigero Bihara barely calmed down, looked up at the cabinet with curious faces, and had to cough dryly, and said curtly, "...... Ahem, the latest information I just got, His Excellency Fumima Konoe, Prime Minister of our government...... There's news! ”

“…… Oh? Really? His Excellency Fumima Konoe has news? That's a good thing! Lu Xiang Mu Tian Kou Lian also spewed a mouth full of wine and smiled, "...... Since the Provisional Government withdrew from Kyoto, he has not been heard from...... Is Konoe okay now? ”

“…… He's so good now! Hiroshima to be the regent of the new emperor who was supported by the Red elements! It's really a two-sided one! ”

Kishigero Bihara replied angrily, "...... This really follows the old practice of the Heian period, who made him from the Fujiwara family! ”

All of a sudden, all the "Japanese traitors" in the venue were also embarrassed, and there was a weird feeling of messiness in the wind.

- He was both the founding prime minister of white Japan and the founding regent of red Japan...... Serving as the supreme leader on both sides of the civil war camp at the same time?

Even if you play one person with two corners, you don't play like this, right? Your Excellency Fumima Konoe, what are you going to do?
