From a neutral point of view, there was nothing wrong with Hirohito's approach, but what he didn't expect was. His "heroic posture" of standing on the armored vehicle and directing the "counterinsurgency" was photographed. For a while, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Quells the Chaos and the True Shadow" made headlines in various newspapers.

At this moment, public opinion was in an uproar, and the media from all sides were hyping up this matter. This is not only promoted by the Japanese Science and Technology Party, but also by other political forces, as well as the chaebol elites, and some foreign forces, not only China, but also the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, and even Britain and France.

The motives of all sides are different, and for the Japanese Science and Technology Socialist Party, it is naturally to discredit the imperial family. And the chaebol magnates are just to shake off the pot, in order to call themselves pure, "Look, this is what the crown prince did, we are all pure little white flower ......." As for the motives of other political forces, the motives are more complicated, the royalist faction is to show the prestige of the royal family and build momentum for Hirohito, "Look, how wise and powerful our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is!", while the other factions are either to throw off the pot or to discredit him. And for the great powers, it must be a happy thing to be able to pit Japan, a guy who picks up cheap.

No matter what the reason is, anyway, under the hype from all sides, this matter has caused a stir, not only Japan, but even all countries in the world, and soon know the glorious deeds of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Japan Hirohito personally commanded the suppression of the rebellion".

At first, Hirohito was quite complacent, feeling that he was arrogant and cool, and his merits were comparable to that of Emperor Jimmu. But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and the public opinion from the people became more and more unfavorable to him, and he was originally only pointing at the spearhead of the chaebol elite, and the royal family was also included.

This is also a very normal thing, after all, people are selfish, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no loyalty for no reason. The reason why those commoners were loyal to the royal family and had hope for them was because they believed that the "dark card" could suppress the powerful and give them more benefits. But this hope was shattered by Hirohito himself,

And that's not all, the young and vigorous Hirohito was very angry after learning about the direction of the people, and personally announced to the whole country on the radio: If there is a similar incident again, it will be absolutely ruthlessly suppressed.

However, Hirohito overestimated his prestige and underestimated the resentment of the people, and did this stupid thing that he thought was clever. Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on him, because after years of propaganda, he really believed in the statement that "the emperor is the representative of Japan and the god of the world", and really thought that he was supreme in the hearts of the Japanese. Coupled with the fact that he is young and inexperienced, it is normal to do some things in the second grade.

Crisis PR is a technical job, especially in this era of advanced media, but not only Hirohito has no experience in this kind of thing, but even his cronies also lack experience in this area, so they messed up this time. Hirohito's approach not only did not alleviate the crisis of trust among the people, but instead added fuel to the fire and further increased the people's ill feelings towards the imperial family.

The people are the most realistic group, and their allegiance to the royal family is not unconditional, and if the "dark card" can guarantee their interests, they will of course offer their loyalty. But if the "Sky Trouble Black Card" infringes on their vital interests, then the "Sky Trouble Black Card" will die.

The "Sakurada Gate Incident" was a very serious blow to the Japanese Empire, which completely detonated the mood of the people, and the class contradictions could no longer be concealed. However, the government did not dare to forcibly suppress it, because the mood of the middle and lower ranks of the army had already fluctuated seriously, the emperor, the pillar of faith, was about to collapse, and the entire stratum was in an extremely serious ideological turmoil. The most important thing is that some of the top echelons of the army, headed by Yoshiko Akiyama and Yoshinori Shirakawa, are also questioning the current policy, and they have adopted a conniving and sympathetic attitude toward the current trend of thought in the army, which has made the Japanese army even more schizophrenic.

Therefore, on the one hand, the upper echelons of Japan carried out Huairou and divided and co-opted, and on the other hand, they mobilized the obedient navy into Beijing to suppress the army that was already seriously unstable. It was under these circumstances that the two Kii-class ships were ordered to end the sea trials and immediately return to Tokyo.

........................................................................

Yokosuka Town Guard.

Vice Admiral Saburo Horiuchi, the commander of the town guard house, is now having a headache, a very headache.

The Japanese Navy's town guard office was a very fortified unit, and it was in charge of all above-ground affairs, from recruitment, military logistics, military justice, hospitals, shipbuilding, marines, land-based aviation, and so on. There are also naval schools under its control, and there is a naval gunnery school and a mine school in Yokosuka Town, and there is a naval diving school in Kure Town. The commander of the town guard is appointed by the emperor himself as a general or lieutenant general, and is directly under the emperor, and is instructed by the Minister of the Navy on military and political affairs, and under the instructions of the chief of the military command department for battle plans.

The power of the town guard is extremely great, and anyway, there is no such a bunker unit in the navy of any country in the world except Japan. As the commander of the four major towns of the Japanese Navy, it is naturally a very prominent position, especially in the Yokosuka Town Guard Mansion next door to the capital, this unit is the most important, and it is naturally not easy to sit in this position.

Vice Admiral Horiuchi Saburo is not a big deal, and his family is only a middle-level samurai under the command of the Matsudaira family of the Tsuyama Domain, and he himself is not a stunning figure, and it is all about seniority and a little luck to climb to this position.

If it were a normal period, he would be very happy to take over this position, but it is not a normal period to step on a horse! Under the current circumstances, this position is undoubtedly a crater. He took over the position on Feb. 5, and his predecessor, Admiral Kaneo Nomaguchi, was visibly relieved when he handed him over, and even more relaxed after the handover.

Kaneo Nomaguchi was so happy that he patted his ass and left, but Nima, the crater of the crater, is now for him to sit, and God knows when it will erupt.

Saburo Horiuchi originally wanted not to do it, but the form was not too bad at the time, so he still had some luck. However, less than a week after the handover, the "Sakurada Gate Incident" occurred, and this is about to explode! Now Horiuchi Saburo regrets that he did not resign from this appointment in the first place, and it is now difficult to ride a tiger.

"Your Excellency, the mood of the sailors in the town guard mansion is not very stable right now, especially with the land-based air force, and the morale is very low......," the news brought by the chief of staff of the town guard mansion, Colonel Takasu Shiro, was very bad.

"These are all those damn army red deer, if they weren't ......" Saburo Horiuchi is now a hemp paw, and he doesn't have a good way to deal with this kind of thing. It was ordered to enter a state of combat readiness, ordered military judges to strengthen supervision, banned tandems, cut off the supply of newspapers, confiscated the radios of all junior officers and soldiers, and so on.

At this time, a staff officer ran in and handed over a telegram: "Your Excellency, the Military Command Department has ordered us to send marines into Tokyo to carry out the defense mission......"

"What, send the Marines to Shangluo? Could it be that the situation in Tokyo has become tense to such a point?" Saburo Horiuchi was startled and hurriedly looked at the telegram.

The telegram was sent by Kantaro Suzuki, the chief of the Military Command Department, and the main content was: The current situation is not good, it is very bad, and the navy bigwigs unanimously believe that the army's horse manure is now schizophrenic and unreliable, so at this critical moment it depends on our navy. Therefore, Horiuchi, you quickly sent the Navy to Tokyo to protect the Imperial Palace, the important units of our navy, and the residences of the bigwigs. You Yokosuka Town Guard now have seven Special Marine Wings, leaving one caretaker and the rest being sent. If they don't think it's enough to take care of their homes, they will also transfer those sailors who are not on duty to take care of their homes.

"......" Saburo Horiuchi was very speechless, and only felt that 100,000 divine beasts roared past him.

Don't these guys in Tokyo know that the navy is also panicking now? At this time, they dare to transfer troops, transfer your sister!

What should I do? Saburo Horiuchi originally didn't want to carry out such an order, but this was the opinion of the navy bosses, and if he still wanted to mix in the navy, he couldn't directly refuse, but he didn't want to carry this pot. So he immediately picked up the phone and called Kantaro Suzuki.

The phone was connected, and he immediately told Kantaro Suzuki about the unstable situation of the guards in the town. But Kantaro Suzuki was silent for a while before letting him continue with the order. The implication is that this is an appointment of King Qin, and the navy must not drop the chain.

"In any case, our navy is more reliable than those army manures!" said Kantaro Suzuki at last.

Well, since everything is said about this, Saburo Horiuchi has no choice but to carry it out. He immediately summoned the deputy commander, Vice Colonel Toyoda, and ordered him to immediately lead six special marine wings to King Kamirakin, Tokyo.

There were three types of marines in Japan at this time, one was the shipboard marines stationed on the ships, which were the remnants of the ancient jumping gangs. The other is the "garrison marines", which, as the name suggests, are dedicated to guarding important locations such as ports, docks, shipyards, warehouses, and naval agencies. The last type of "special marine" is the Marine Corps in the later sense.

In the original time and space, the Japanese Navy did not attach much importance to the Marine Corps until 1930. But the plane is a little different, they have been fighting in Europe for several years, and they have also accumulated a lot of experience and accepted a lot of advanced military ideas. Of course, there is another biggest reason, that is, to separate from the army and grab territory, such a large piece of fertile land in Africa cannot be cheapened by the army.

In this guiding spirit, the Japanese Navy formed the Marine Corps in 1918 during World War I. And because the Japanese on the plane are more well-funded, the equipment and scale of the Marine Corps are much stronger than those of the original time and space. The establishment of the Marine Corps is similar to that of the Army, and it is also like detachments, squads, squadrons, and brigades, but the largest establishment of the Marine Corps is a wing, and there is no establishment of brigades and divisions.

At present, the Japanese Navy's "Special Marine Corps" has a total of 20 wings and a number of independent brigades and squadrons, with a total number of more than 100,000 personnel. Among them, Yokosuka has the most, with 7 wings and about 28,000 people.

Vice Takeshi Toyoda immediately gathered his troops and boarded the ship, and now it is the fastest boat ride from Yokosuka to Tokyo. After boarding the ship, Deputy Toyoda immediately ordered to drive at full speed. In order to catch up with the speed, several destroyers were also used to make cameo appearances as troop carriers.

..................................................................

Tokyo, where the 1st Division was stationed.

"What, you're going to move us to Africa!?" asked Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the 2nd Wing, in disbelief.

The commander of the 3rd wing, Sadao Ushijima, nodded and said angrily: "Yes, the higher authorities don't trust us anymore and want to drive us to Africa......"

"Yaga, this is to exile us!"

"This must be the thieves who are doing it, ******, I should have participated in killing all those bastards......"

A group of co-captains and captains are scolding. As we all know, because the two Guards Divisions are only managed by the Army, and nominally they are directly under the Emperor, so the First Division is the own son of the Army, and everyone has been in the bright lights of Tokyo for a long time, and no one wants to go to Africa. In the eyes of this group of middle-level officers, this is not a transfer at all, this stepping on a horse is an exile.

In fact, only a few mid-level officers were directly involved in the last "Sakurada Gate Incident", and those people are now locked up in prison. Now this group really did not participate, well, not directly. Of course, things like "I don't know what you did" were said by so many people in the room that they must have said the same.

"Dohihara-kun, you have the most ideas, what do you say we should do now?, do you want to ...... with Kawasaki and them," said a wing leader, and his voice couldn't help but be quieted as he spoke.

When they heard this, they were silent. The guy named Kawasaki, as they all know, is a staff officer of the 3rd Division who came to tandem some time ago. They also know that this guy is a young Japanese club, and they are preparing to make trouble this time, saying that it is better to call it a military admonition, called "Qingjun side", and to say that it is a rebellion.

Well, although these officers were sympathetic to the suffering of the lower classes, after all, many of them were not from wealthy backgrounds, and they were also in favor of the reform tenets of the Young Japan Association, they were also very hostile to the chaebol elites. But it's hard to make up your mind to let them just do it. I just woke up and didn't brush my teeth yet, and you told me to rebel......

Kenji Dohihara looked at everyone's tangled expressions, and said slowly: "Now it seems that if those people are still in power, our future in the army will be completely hopeless." They don't trust us anymore, and even if we go to Africa, it won't be long before we have to retire or go into the reserves, which is good. If it doesn't work, when they get things done in Tokyo, it's our turn, and we'll probably have to live in prison for the rest of our lives......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, this is not a joke, this is completely possible, and it is very likely. The youngest of you are all captains, all of them are old rivers and lakes, who doesn't know the ability of the birdmen above to shake the pot. The "Sakurada Gate Incident" has caused such a big stir that it is certainly impossible to get only a few low-ranking officers and soldiers, and the First Division is even more directly responsible, so how can it be possible if a few officers do not come out to take the blame? Not to mention the school officers, even the division commander Ishimitsu Masatomi and the chief of staff Yanagawa Heisuke will be thrown out of the blame.

"Now we don't have a choice...... "Kenji Dohihara said gloomily: "If we don't defeat the gang on stage now, we'll be finished!"

"However, we are all disarmed now, and there are the bastards of the Guards Division guarding outside......" said one of the captains.

"That's not a problem...... "Kenji Dohihara smiled evilly and said in a low voice, "Kawasaki they have prepared in advance, just do this and ......"

Half an hour later, the group left the barracks. After everyone went out, Kenji Dohihara whispered to himself: "Ishihara, I won't lose to you!"

Division Commander's Office.

"Your Excellency the division commander, there seems to be something unusual about the group of officers, they are contacting the group of officers and the military officer......" Chief of Staff Yanagawa Heisuke hurriedly ran in.

"Abnormal movement, we are all treated as prisoners of war, what else can be changed?" Shi Guang Zhenchen said with an ugly face: "I don't know anything now!"

Yanagawa Heisuke wanted to say more, but when he saw the boss's face, he understood something, so he didn't say it anymore.

"Yanagawa, come and accompany me in the next game......" Shi Guang Zhenchen did it in front of the chessboard, his expression was very strange.

The corners of Yanagawa Heisuke's mouth twitched, and he sat down. "Division commander, look at this......"

Shi Guang Zhenchen waved his hand to stop his words. "Today, the two of us are playing chess here, waiting for the next order from our superiors. As for what's going on out there, we don't know. ”
