Thrush.

After another unhappy break with the army.

Like an ant on a hot pot, Suzuki Shousuke once again visited Interior Minister Kido.

"Kido-kun, Tsushima Island, Jeju Island has fallen into the hands of Gao Jianwu's troops. In particular, on Jeju Island, the 58th Army had a strong strength of 3 divisions and 1 brigade, as well as the firepower of 3 artillery wings and 3 artillery brigades of the 12th Artillery Command.

Tanegashima also reported that they had encountered a fierce attack, and had lost the southern part and two brigade defense units, and according to the speculation of the intelligence department, the Allied side would be able to launch a large-scale attack on the mainland of Kyushu Island in half a month at most.

The defenders of 14 divisions and 9 brigades on Kyushu Island are facing the attack of nearly one million Allied troops, and this is not to mention, at least more than 500 Allied warplanes are indiscriminately bombarding the locust army on Kyushu Island, constantly weakening our defensive forces;

At the same time, the Allies had four detachments of dozens of escort carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers providing them with escort for sea transport and fire support for naval artillery attacks."

"Kido-kun, the chips in our hands are decreasing day by day, and if Kyushu Island falls, we will have little room for negotiation."

Suzuki Shousuke is really anxious.

As we watched the loss of city and territory every day, every loss of space meant that the Allied side would lose a little bit of interest in negotiations.

The most important thing is that now the Locust Army is no longer able to inflict significant damage on the Allies. In other words, the Allied side no longer needed to bear the huge casualties to push all the way through.

In that case, who will negotiate with him?

"Lord Suzuki,..." Kido was about to speak, from his point of view, he could feel that the situation was deteriorating dramatically, and Suzuki Shousuke was right.

But as Tian Huang's spokesperson, what he needs to consider is Tian Huang's best interests, and this mouth must not be let Tian Huang say it, let alone become Tian Huang's biggest handle in the future.

How to preserve the imperial family is Kido's biggest task, and in order to achieve this goal, he has gone to great lengths to bring the "moderate" Suzuki to power, just to let this old man negotiate surrender with the allies.

And in this process, someone must stand up and take responsibility, and in this case, it is naturally the most appropriate only to throw out the scapegoat of the military department.

At present, it seems that only by doing this will the Imperial Family be able to be preserved, and Kido knows that this process must be difficult, and the people in the military department are not stupid, they insist on fighting, just to pull everyone into the water by fighting.

For the high-ranking people of the empire, although they usually say righteousness and awe-inspiring, but when the time comes, no one is willing to sacrifice themselves to fulfill others.

This is the most basic reason why Suzuki can't reach an agreement with those people in the military department at all.

The responsibility for the war, the military department does not want to carry it on its own.

"Kido-kun, whether it's Hirota, Tojo, or Anan, they all refuse to have peace talks. Now that the War Department is in control of the overall situation in the homeland, it will be difficult for us to advance the process of peace talks without His Majesty's instructions." Suzuki Shousuke said in a showdown, "In this case, the old minister will no longer be able to serve His Majesty, please beg the bones."

In the end, this mess was handed over to him, and Suzuki Shousuke was actually very reluctant to accept it.

However, after the United Fleet was almost completely wiped out, the Admiralty had completely lost its right to speak in the Military Department, and Suzuki and Minai, who were both from the Navy, said that they could not make Anan and others give in.

"Your Excellency Suzuki, at this time of crisis, Your Majesty has high hopes for Your Excellency, and I will definitely persuade Your Majesty to support Your Excellency's work." Kido was forced by Suzuki to delay any longer.

If Suzuki really picks on the son, the current situation will be even more difficult to control.

In the new cabinet, the Navy Department does not have the ability to compete with the Army Department at all, so the next step can only continue to fight to the death.

The end result may be total annihilation.

The locust army does not exist, and Tian Huang naturally has no foundation for existence

。

"Please give me three more days, and I'll figure it out." Minister Kido finally gave a clear answer.

...

"Inoue-kun, how many people do you have organized over there now?" After Kenji Hatanaka ran around, he had already found more than 20 like-minded young people on hand, and he asked when he met secretly with Masataka Inoue again.

"Now we have more than fifty people joining," Inoue Masataka replied, "most of them are army colleagues, and some are navy members, and in general everyone is determined not to allow His Majesty to surrender."

Kenji Hatanaka calculated, but the strength at hand was still too weak.

Most of them are officers like staff officers, and they don't have troops under their direct command, only these people add up to two squads, which is not a big deal.

You have to go and pull people in who are powerful and have troops in their hands.

And it has to be the real power figure of the military on the side of Tsukyo Kyo, Kenji Hatanaka keeps thinking about who to pull into the group to turn the tide.

There is almost no need to think about it from his uncle, he will not help him, and it is good if he doesn't hold back.

Kenji Hatanaka checked the real power figures around Tsukyo in his mind, and suddenly a key figure appeared in his mind.

...

"Our Army will not give up. In Kyushu, we will build the Maginot Line in the East.

The 40th Army and the 57th Army of the 16th Front Army had the strong strength of five divisions, three independent mixed brigades, two independent tank brigades and two independent tank brigades in southern Kyushu, as well as two heavy artillery units of the First Artillery Command and the Fourth Artillery Command.

The 56th Army, with Fukuoka as the center, deployed 4 divisions and 2 tank brigades, 4 heavy artillery wings and 3 artillery wings of the 6th Artillery Headquarters, and two heavy artillery wings, 9 fortress infantry brigades, and several garrison brigades in Iki and Shimoko.

In the entire Kyushu side, we have deployed the main force with a total strength of more than 400,000 troops, relying on the defense of strong fortress groups and fortress heavy artillery, even if the allies attack by a million, it is enough to resist!"

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Next, their War Department will face direct pressure from Tian Huang.

This is something that General Anan cannot afford.

"Suzuki-kun, rest assured, the War Department will do its own thing, and it will definitely not delay His Majesty's major affairs." For Suzuki Shousuke's invisible warning, Admiral Anan could only bow his head.

General Anan is still very clear about the situation in his army staff.

...

On the one hand, they received information that the little devil was preparing for peace talks, but this time, General Steven and General Smith, under the influence of Gao Jianwu, had only one answer to the little devil: "Unconditionally lay down your arms and surrender immediately!"

Suzuki Shousuke received this brief answer, and after a brief discussion with Kido, Mine, and other lords and factions, it was decided to send a delegation to General Steven's Allied Headquarters anyway.

Although they have not yet definitively replied to unconditional surrender, this gesture is not far from unconditional surrender.

Originally, this was the news at the top of the small book, but in the end, Anan "inadvertently" lost his words and transmitted the news to the army staff.

Kenji Hatanaka was furious when he heard the news, and he immediately sped up his actions.

Headquarters of the Guards Division.

Inoue Masataka and a few people directly met with Lieutenant General Morihisa, the commander of the Guards Division, in the name of the order of the Military Department.

"Your Excellency Morihisa, we are not heralds of the military department," After seeing Lieutenant General Morihisa, Inoue Masataka bluntly stated the purpose of his group.

"A few of us came to the Guards Division to save the entire empire with His Excellency Mori Jiu, we can't choose to surrender under the cowardice of some people, but to clear out some cowards and cowards around His Majesty Tian Huang as soon as possible, redirect the empire to the decisive battle on the homeland, bury the allies in the homeland with iron and blood, and then wait for the opportunity to rise again!"

Inoue Masataka said righteously.

"Inoue-kun, everyone, the Guards Division is the guard of His Majesty Tian Huang, everything is subject to His Majesty Tian Huang's orders, our Guards Division is not and will not become a self-asserted guard in the future, all the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division will take the protection and service of Tian Huang as the highest standard!" Lieutenant General Morihisa categorically rejected Inoue's persuasion.

Making one's own claim at such a time is tantamount to the opposite of Zoda Huang, and of course Lieutenant General Morihisa would not do such a thing.

"Your Excellency Morijiu, if His Majesty Tian Huang is surrounded by rebels and blinds His Majesty, then it is necessary for His Excellency Morijiu to clear the monarch's side, otherwise the empire will be betrayed by these rebels, and the thousand-year-old empire will be ruined!" Inoue Masataka further persuaded.

His words have become more and more rebellious to the ears of Lieutenant General Morihisa.

"Inoue-kun, I read that you are a nephew, and your fathers fought on the battlefield, serving His Majesty Tian Huang for generations, I hope that at this critical moment, you will not act impulsively.

You are the hope for the future of the Empire, and in this difficult time, you must learn to endure in order to retain your useful body and work for the future re-emergence of the Empire." Lieutenant General Morihisa said bitterly.

But in the minds of Inoue Masataka, Lieutenant General Morihisa is a typical and somewhat ignorant person.

Before they could make a decision, another group of uninvited guests followed.

This is Kenji Hatanaka rushing to the headquarters of the Guards Division with Satotaro Uemoto.

"Inoue-kun, is Your Excellency Morihisa willing to work with us to do great things?" After Kenji Hatanaka came in, he asked Masataka Inoue.

In fact, looking at the expressions of Lieutenant General Morihisa and Inoue Masataka in the field, Kenji Hatanaka already knew the result.

"Hatanaka-kun, Your Excellency Morihisa still hasn't agreed to join us in the righteous act." Inoue shook his head.

"Then there's nothing to talk about, Lord Morihisa, for the sake of the Empire, we must ask you to return to the throne." After speaking, Kenji Hatanaka took out his gun and shot it at Lieutenant General Morihisa.

Lieutenant General Morihisa stared at Kenji Hatanaka in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Kenji Hatanaka dared to openly rebel here, but Kenji Hatanaka did it without hesitation.

Lieutenant General Morihisa spat blood from his mouth, and tried with both hands to plug the large hole in his chest that was spraying blood, but it was all in vain, and he lost a lot of blood

He soon lost consciousness.

Before he could fall, Kenji Hatanaka took out a few orders in his arms, directly removed Lieutenant General Morihisa's fingers, which had not yet lost his temperature, and stamped his handprint on the order book with blood.

He and several others who were appointed as wing commanders and captains of the Guards Division, including Inoue Masadaka and Satotaro Uemoto, quickly carried Lieutenant General Morihisa into another room before the guards from the Guards Division Headquarters rushed in, and then came out with a brand new order book.

"Hatanaka Shaozuo, what happened just now, who is shooting" Second Lieutenant Ishihara, the leader of the guard squad who came in a hurry, asked him without suspicion after meeting Kenji Hatanaka at the door.

He is an old man who has followed Lieutenant General Morihisa for a long time in the army, and he has seen Kenji Hatanaka and knows that this is a popular man next to the big man in the military department, and he is already a young man at a young age.

"Ishihara-kun, someone accidentally went off just now, and nothing happened. I received my order from the military headquarters, and His Excellency Commander Morihisa has appointed us as the commander of the Guards Division and the captain of the 1st Brigade, which is a letter of order, and I hope that Ishihara-kun will take us to the various wings for the handover of my posts.

Your Excellency Commander Morihisa wants to rest, so he won't come out. Please arrange for someone to guard the headquarters and not let people disturb Your Excellency the Commander." Ken Hatanaka issued a fake order without changing his color.

Second Lieutenant Ishihara took the order from Kenji Hatanaka and others, and sure enough, there was a bright red seal of the military headquarters and the handprint of Commander Morihisa, although the handprint could not be seen from the real for a while, but the bright red seal of the military department, Second Lieutenant Ishihara would not be mistaken, it was true!

These familiar visitors are all military officers of the junior left or even the center left, and they are real staff officers from the military department, and there may be a big man above the rank of lieutenant general behind them, and if they take advantage of the current opportunity to come down to gild, there is indeed no better choice than the Guards Division.

Because the Guards Division mainly guarded the Imperial Palace, there was no other danger except being bombed, Second Lieutenant Ishihara didn't think of going anywhere else at all, and after checking that there was nothing wrong with the order book, he really took a few of them to take up their posts with a salute.

And the three bewildered wing commanders did not suspect it, so Xili Hutu handed over the British command of the wing, and let Kenji Hatanaka and them quickly replace the guard force of the division headquarters and replace it with their own people, temporarily covering up the information about the death of Lieutenant General Morihisa.

Then, with the order to strengthen the security of the palace, the Guards Division surrounded the palace, and then cut off the palace's external communications!
