Nishimura was simply driven to the shelves, and he originally planned to be transferred out of Tokyo as soon as possible according to the order of the base camp, so he avoided suspicion. The base camp was limited to him for a week, and he wished he could leave in two days, away from the land of right and wrong.

When I first participated, I just thought that with the participation of the Duke of Konoe, the action would be seamless, and I would not suffer a loss if I followed. I didn't expect things to turn out like this, today Shadow Zuo rode into the camp alone, and he actually wanted to be the first bird himself. What is hateful is that Shadow Zuo also secretly created a handle to blackmail himself, and he should have hacked him, but he had no choice but to be controlled by him.

The searchlights were turned on all around the square, and in the sound of the air defense siren, the two brigades of the 6th Wing, which could be mobile at any time, were assembled here, and all the personnel formed a square formation in the middle line, with heavy machine guns in front. A murderous look.

Nishimura looked at his watch, and the whole assembly took 25 minutes, including the vehicle personnel, and the unloading of the baggage, and it was a good job. The sirens stopped, and he climbed into the middle of a truck in the middle of the snow, where he was going to mobilize before the operation.

At this time, Kagesa Zhenzhao stood under the truck and did not speak, but just now the two of them had already drawn up a general speech, and the whole article was full of rebellious demagoguery. The poor soldiers were still in the dark, thinking that it was another night air defense exercise, and they would be able to go back to the barracks and sleep later.

Nishimura escaped from the pocket of his military uniform with a piece of scribbled paper, which was drafted by Kagesa, and then revised by himself, he knew that after reading this thing, he would have no way out at all, maybe he would retreat at this time, and Kagesa couldn't do anything about himself?

"Loyal warriors of the Guards...... I just got the news that something serious has happened in the capital," he paused and looked around at the soldiers below, everyone didn't seem surprised, they were all waiting for the next step.

"There was a group of people who attempted a coup d'état, and they blew it up* at the venue of the state banquet, and then put Prime Minister Tojo under house arrest."

There was a small commotion in the ranks, no one spoke, but there was some change in the standing posture of the soldiers and officers.

In fact, the gossip in Tokyo had already reached the barracks, saying that there had been an assassination of Tojo in the council chamber, and that the Guards Division was suspected of being involved in the operation and that the 1st Guards Division was to be exiled overseas. I didn't expect the plot to be diametrically opposite, did someone frame himself?

"Now, I am the only one who can save the country, the holy war, and the saint. Our army must immediately go out and categorically thwart the rebels' attempt to kidnap the Prime Minister and threaten His Majesty. ”

Only the wind was howling in the square, but after a few seconds, the anger of the unknown soldiers was ignited, which was evident from everyone's expressions.

"I remind you that there were gendarmes in the coup troops. In today's operation, the gendarmes are our enemies. ”

Nishimura finished reading the last sentence on the note. His greatest concern was whether the soldiers would believe this part - even the gendarmes had rebelled?

If you think about it carefully, the gendarmes are of course the least likely to participate in the coup, and with this military salary of 100 tens of yen a month, they are crazy? But at this point, the soldier can't be given time to think carefully.

"I order, all of you, get into the car, and tie the strips of white cloth that have been issued to you to your left and right arms, which are our identification marks. Today, our mission is to honor the emperor and seek adultery, long live His Majesty the Emperor......"

Nishimura took the lead in shouting, and the nearly 2,000 soldiers below followed the blind followers and shouted, and after shouting three times, they became enthusiastic and confused.

Nishimura is well aware of the characteristics of the Japanese soldiers, paranoid and blind, so it is necessary to stir up their fighting spirit, and then they forget to think.

He jumped out of the car and walked to his car, where the soldiers, carrying rifles and ammunition boxes, began to board the car quickly under the orders of the squadron leaders, all looking forward to playing with the traitors.

Akira Kagesa tightened his coat and walked to his car, knowing that the matter was halfway there. However, the soldiers who rely on lies may not shoot when they really see Tojo. Although he said that he would let the people of Nishimura shoot Tojo indiscriminately, this matter is not safe, and he has to let his subordinates or Shiro Ishii complete the final assassination. He must complete this deployment before the troops.

In a few hours, 1943 was still a few hours, and Kagesa hoped that Japan's national fortunes would not be stifled at the beginning of 1943.

Nishimura personally took his first brigade to the Imperial Palace to defend His Majesty, and the Imperial Palace also had the men and horses of the 4th Wing of the Guards Division, which he could mobilize with a phone call, close to the north of the Imperial Palace, and the military police headquarters in Akasaka was the biggest hidden danger and must be solved immediately.

The defenders near the palace received a call from the division commander and rallied as well. The Gendarmerie Headquarters was planning, and Ryoji Shikata, who broadcast Tojo's New Year's speech the next day, immediately got the news. In fact, standing on the watchtower of the gendarmerie headquarters, you can see the tanks moving at the entrance of the palace.

After Muto was killed, the four sides were already silent, shooting their eyes on all sides to collect information on various troops, what he was most worried about was the Guards Division, and recently Nishimura Takuma always avoided his eyes when he saw him, and he didn't say hello, which made him feel very suspicious.

The Quartet hurriedly ran to the 4th floor of the gendarmerie headquarters, looked over there with a telescope, and found that several guns on the anti-aircraft gun position at the north gate of the palace had been aimed at this side. Looks like the traitor is showing his tail.

After the assassination of Tojo, the Emperor had already taken his family to flee to Gunma to join the evacuated Sugiyama Moto, where they waited for their trusted, perpetually defeated shogun, Anan, to return to take over the 12th Front and return to Tokyo to take control. So at this time, the Imperial Palace is actually empty, but what the Quartet is worried about at the moment is not the safety of the emperor.

He was worried about Tojo and himself. It seems that the rebellion of the Guards Division is a foregone conclusion. He hurriedly sent a telegram to the chief of staff Sugiyama Moto, to report the situation, and then took a car to the Army Medical University. He knew that he couldn't resist this coup, so he had to hurry to Tojo's hiding place and pick him up, hoping that it was still too late.

The rebels quickly rushed to the palace and, without speaking, surrounded the gendarmerie headquarters with their horses, then set up machine guns and cut the telephone lines. A brief exchange of fire immediately broke out between the two sides. After the anti-aircraft guns of the palace garrison opened fire and knocked out the machine guns upstairs, the crowd of more than 200 people in the gendarmerie headquarters was leaderless and finally decided to surrender.

Most of the residents of Tokyo heard the outbreak of a fierce shootout, but it is not difficult to tell from experience that there was another army coup, which happened about a year ago.

Hideki Tojo, who was hiding in an underground recording studio at the Army Medical University, also heard the sound of firefighting outside, and then became nervous, he knew that this was the opponent's counterattack, and it sounded like a 20-mm machine gun, which seemed to be his own strength? When the 226 coup d'état and last year's coup d'état seized the Funabashi communication station, heavy weapons had always been controlled by forces loyal to the government, and this time should be no exception, right?

After several days of hellish ordeal, he finally regained his senses. The quack doctors of the military medical university have never found out what specific poison they have been infected, but through a large number of human tests, it was determined that it was a class of phosphorus-containing poisons, so they used large doses of anticholinergic drugs to conduct human trials (that is, to take the poisoners on the spot), and finally achieved results. After treating a few people to death, the sick Wang Jingweiran was rescued. So the treatment plan was determined, and Tojo was spared (in part because of the delay in time, which caused the toxins in his body to decay).

Of course, Tojo did not dare to show up immediately, for fear of being attacked again, and the place did not even have a telephone line, just for fear that the phone would be tapped. But if you don't show up all the time, it will inevitably cause people outside to fluctuate. So he decided to go into hiding, make a record of his voice and play it on the radio, according to tradition, the prime minister must also give a wartime speech on the New Year's Eve to boost the morale of the people, and he wants to use his voice to completely crush the enemy hiding in the dark corners.

In fact, since the four reported to him that Makino had been robbed, he had roughly known who was doing the trick and said that he had found a corpse of the Communist Party, and that the ghost believed that the Communist Party still had so much energy.

Hearing the gunfire outside, Tojo judged that the coup d'état might have been suppressed? He turned to several sound engineers at NHK.

"You need not panic. I came back from the Onimon Gate, and I figured out a lot of things, and God won't let me die, and I will definitely be able to lead Japan to victory. ”

"Your Excellency, shall we continue recording?"

"Well, please continue."

He couldn't pause the recording, so he had to re-read his manuscript. If he let go of his hypocritical pride and ran away, it would have been too late, but in a moment's thought, he decided to pretend to be calm and waste his last chance.

Shiro Ishii has been hiding in the laboratory, giving news to the rebels. The troops in the direction of the Imperial Palace moved first, and for a time the operation fell into passivity, but Tojo's convoy did not move.

Twenty minutes later, the rebel troops who had crossed the Thousand Main Bridge rushed to the university and quickly surrounded the Army Medical University. The troops guarding here were very weak, and for the sake of secrecy, Ryoji Quartet did not use too many troops, and only a few army and military police guarded the gate.

But the defenders here did not intend to disarm easily, and they immediately engaged the coup army in a fierce battle. Tojo, who was reading his New Year's message, was interrupted again, and it was only then that he sensed that something was wrong. Now he had to think about getting out quickly, but the recording engineer couldn't leave it behind, and once he found a safe place, he had to make a third recording as soon as he found it. Tojo believes that he will definitely be killed, and since he can walk through the ghost gate and come back to life, it means that he has passed the test of God, and God has no reason to test himself repeatedly?

Surrounded by a group of people, Tojo left the basement on a stretcher. It was the middle of the night, but with the help of the flares fired by the rebels from outside, Ishii, who was hiding in a dark corner, clearly saw Tojo appear. He was dressed in a patient's clothes, with a nurse beside him leading a hanging bottle, and a group of bodyguards following closely to the left and right. There are also a few guys carrying large bags and small bags, presumably NHK's recording engineers.

Ishii took out the pistol from the drawer, he hadn't shot a few times in his life, but today he had to take the plunge and give it a try. He hated Tojo for being stubborn and stupid, and he had soaked important documents in water and discarded them, making his dream of a biological weapon unrealizable, and today he had to solve the matter in his own way.
