ACT594: Chaos
On the night of the "assassination" of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, this big news spread through the streets and alleys of Tokyo, and it not only made those who had previously criticized the navy dumbfounded, but also shocked the high-level leaders of the military and political circles and the navy and land.
Prior to this, although there were many contradictions between Japan's naval and land forces, both sides at least adhered to the bottom line and did not let the conflict escalate into a civil war. But in this assassination, it was not only a soldier who was shot, but also Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku.
Compared with politicians who often change jobs, the weight of military bigwigs is not ordinary!
You must know that Yamamoto has been in the army for more than 40 years, and his prestige among the officers and men of the navy is extremely high. Even after the defeat in the Battle of the Shattered Star Zone, all those who participated in those battles did not think that Yamamoto was at fault, but that their pre-battle preparations were not sufficient, and the enemy was too cunning.
So after the incident, many people complained about the dismissal of Yamamoto, thinking that this was the damned army horse manure that was making an obstruction, and Yamamoto's assassination undoubtedly completely intensified the contradiction.
After the assassination, as soon as the guards and soldiers finished dealing with the "assassins" who were not in the stream, he quickly found someone to send Yamamoto Isoroku, who was shot, and Mrs. Yamamoto, who was unconscious, to the hospital.
Masako, who was traveling with the car, held his father's hand tightly all the way, constantly cheering him on, hoping that he could persist in reaching the hospital. But unfortunately, Yamamoto's gunshot wound hit the nail on the head, and before the truck could reach the hospital, = Yamamoto Fifty-six stopped breathing halfway through.
Before dying, Yamamoto 56 woke up from his coma, and after seeing his daughter looking at him with concern, Yamamoto smiled and whispered his last words to Masako.
"Don't worry about me, I'll get better, take care of my mother's ......"
In this way, Yamamoto Fifty-six, who had been fighting all his life, died sadly under the guns of his compatriots. And his wife Reiko though after being sent to the hospital. He managed to save his life, but the blow to the head caused him to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and turn him into an unconscious vegetative state.
With Japan's current medical technology, there is little hope for a cure.
The successive blows made Masako's spirit almost collapse. At the same time, with the rapid spread of this bombshell news, the whole of Tokyo was shaken.
Naturally, the first to receive the notice was the Ministry of the Navy, and Mitsumasa Yonechi, who was about to go home, couldn't believe his ears after hearing the urgent report from his subordinates. He never imagined that he had said goodbye to Yamamoto 40 minutes ago. It will be their farewell.
But unlike the other indignant officers, Menet was well aware that this could not be the Army's doing. Hideki Tojo is a madman, not a stupid person, and what the other party wants is nothing more than to make the navy surrender, and he will definitely not force them to death.
Coupled with the impact of the previous two mutinies, both sides have long since begun to restrain lower-level officers. Regardless of those who are outside, if an officer makes a radical remark or has a private party in an important place like Tokyo, he is guaranteed to be invited to tea by the special high school the next day.
But Mitsumasa Yonechi understood. It doesn't mean that everyone else in the Navy understands.
Since the defeat of the Smashing Star Sector Campaign, the suppression of the Navy by the Cabinet Government controlled by the Army is obvious to all, and the people in the Navy are secretly holding a fire in their hearts, and the news of Yamamoto Isoroku's death is like a barrel of gasoline. Let the fire get out of control in an instant.
Less than an hour after the incident, two Marine Brigades in Yokosuka sailed to downtown Tokyo on troop carriers without authorization. They surrounded the Tokyo National Hospital, where Yamamoto's body was located, and then quickly cordoned off the neighborhood and set up positions, announcing that they would arm the commander to defend him.
And with their actions and the constant spread of news. Responders appeared one after another in the two towns of Sasebo and Kure, and some warships also participated in the operation, and they all advanced towards Tokyo. This state of affairs reminded the public of the two previous mutinies. The Army is also feeling the pressure.
Hideki Tojo, who had a big head, had no choice but to explain to the navy in an interview while mobilizing troops to deal with the possible loss of control of the situation. And at this time, the dead people, who have always watched the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, once again played their nature of helping out.
The Tokyo police, who were struggling with the soldiers standing on the street, were shocked to find that it was not the street of the National Hospital that caused the first disturbance, but the inexplicable surrounding area! After the police rushed to the scene to investigate, the results were simply laughable.
It turned out that after the news of Yamamoto's death, there was a clear polarization of the public's attitude towards this matter. The fall of the naval gods was greatly regretted, but those who favored the army (the majority) were eager to applaud, and the two sides fought for it.
As a result, the brawls of the whole martial arts inevitably played out in many places, and then the scale snowballed, from two or three to hundreds or thousands, and the whole of Tokyo was in chaos.
In desperation, Hideki Tojo could only ask His Majesty the Emperor to urgently issue a radio to mourn Yamamoto Isoroku, and persuade the people to put the dead first and immediately stop those irrational behaviors. This barely contained the riots and eased tensions in Tokyo.
Later, the emperor's motorcade appeared on the streets of Tokyo and went to the national hospital to visit, and the marines who blocked the block naturally did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly removed the barricades to let them go.
However, when the emperor and his entourage came to the hospital, Masako, who was immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself, looked at the human face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a sneer, and at the same time, the sadness in his heart was even better. Because the emperor who came was not Hirohito himself, but his shadow warrior Hiromi.
True! Masako really doesn't like Hirohito very much, and he doesn't want to meet the other party. But now that the bones of her father Yamamoto Fifty-six are not cold, Hirohito actually let his stand-in come to visit, which makes people feel a very obvious disrespect.
Hiromi also knew that on this occasion, it was not appropriate for her to appear, so she looked a little embarrassed when she faced Masako. At this time, Hideki Tojo, who was accompanying him, coughed lightly and reminded Hiromi that she felt like she was doing what she had said before, but before she could speak, Masako interrupted the other party without raising her head.
"Enough! Don't bother me, let me be quiet. ”
"Miss Masako, please pay attention to your words, I know you are sad right now, but this is His Majesty the Emperor!"
Seeing that Masako was actually disrespectful to Hiromi, Saigo Shengyuan on the side hurriedly shouted. seems to be accusing Masako, but in fact, he is reminding the other party and helping her find the bottom of the stairs. Hiromi also helped to play the round, which eased the tension on the scene a little.
But if you want to completely quell the riots caused by this accident, Hiromi has nothing to do! (To be continued......) R1292
