Republic of China game

With a bang, two huge suitcases were opened in front of Nishida Shi and Ando Teruzo, which were full of gold bars shining with golden light!

"A total of 1 taels of gold! They are all one or two gold bars, worth at least 100 billion yen on the black market. They were all brought in through the channel of the Russian embassy, ​​and then there are about 8000 taels of gold. It was generously provided by the national government... They thought they could use this money to buy Japanese national thieves to act as their puppets, but they paid for it. But they didn’t know that this money would bring Japan a new life! Nishida-kun, Ando Jun, please make good use of them! The future of Japan depends on you!"

The speaker was Kita Ikki, the leader of the Japanese Kuomintang. He returned to this secret stronghold outside Tokyo on January 1, the same day that the North Korean army was hit by the atomic bomb.Then he began to recruit his party members and secretly prepared to make trouble.After the news of the atomic bombing of the North Korean army spread in Japan, the originally stable situation suddenly became turbulent, and Tokyo was even more frightened. No one dared to live in the city, for fear that the Chinese would not know about the atomic bomb. When will it fall on your own head!And those high-level figures in Japan's military and government have accelerated the pace of fleeing, and the real estate in Japan has fallen at an unbelievable speed!

Of course, that is for gold, silver or Mark... because the current Japanese currency has depreciated badly, and it is difficult to exchange millions of Japanese yen for a tael of gold on the black market!And those junior officers of the Japanese army who lived on meager salaries naturally fell into a state of abject poverty and became part of the glorious proletariat.

At the same time, the rations of ordinary citizens began to shrink sharply again, and even the daily supplies of the army began to shrink.Citizens in any Japanese city who want to fill their stomachs have to sell their property to buy a little food from the black market.However, Japanese farmers are also facing tremendous pressure to survive. Due to the large number of young and middle-aged people enlisted in the army, the rural land is barren. This also caused a large number of bankruptcies of farmers, and the entire Japanese society was indeed in a precarious state because of this war.

Looking at the two boxes of gold that almost dazzled his eyes, Nishida tax nodded solemnly, and then bowed deeply to Bei Yihui: "Please rest assured, Mr. Bei, with these 18000 taels of gold, we can at least mobilize tens of thousands of gold coins." An infantryman!" But Teruzo Ando hesitated slightly next to him, and reminded: "But that old fox Yokoyama Isamu is very difficult to deal with. He seems to have noticed something recently, and his control over the troops has become stricter and stricter. The camp bed was moved to the divisional headquarters."

Kita Ikki smiled silently, one Isamu Yokoyama couldn't stop the great changes in the entire Japanese society!The most important thing is that Japan now has no other way out except a revolution.Those in the upper echelons are either busy contacting China, or packing their bags and preparing to leave.The army and navy officers and soldiers who were left behind were in panic. The war must have been defeated, and the power of the atomic bomb made most people lose the courage to fight on.However, Emperor Hirohito refused to take responsibility at this time. Instead, he ran to Hawaii to seek refuge, and instructed the cabinet to formulate a decisive battle plan and organize an underground army.However, the big shots in the cabinet are arguing, they dare not disobey the emperor's will, and they don't want the whole nation to go to ruin... A revolution to overthrow Emperor Hirohito seems to be the only way out for the entire Japanese society up!

Thinking of this, a trace of sarcasm emerged from the corner of Bei Yihui's mouth: "Someone will soon remove Yokoyama Isamu from the position of head of the First Division, so please don't worry. What we have to do now is to act as soon as possible !Because the whole of Japan is waiting for us to save!"

Chapter 0981 Japan's "February Revolution" ([-]) Curve to save the country

"This is what you need." Toyama Mitsuru, who looked like an old man, carefully handed a box to General Seishiro Itagaki who was kneeling in front of him.After receiving the box, General Itagaki couldn't wait to open the lid, and saw a thick stack of bound documents inside, and the words "China-Japan Security Treaty" were impressively printed on the cover of this stack of documents!

Old man Tou Shanman looks pretty good.Obviously very satisfied with the "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty", he stroked his beard and smiled there: "It is signed by the Chinese President Luo Yiqun, and the Russian Empress also signed it as a notary. From a diplomatic point of view This is enough insurance. Minister Nagata and Marshal Okamura should feel at ease now? By the way, Mr. Itagaki, are Minister Nagata and Marshal Okamura really not planning to join the new government? The new Japan in the future needs the cooperation of all parties Hard work is it!"

Itagaki raised his head, with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Touyama... not only Minister Nagata and Marshal Okamura are leaving Japan, but also the students will be leaving soon. Although overthrowing the current government is a last resort, but As soldiers, we really can't just watch this happen and remain indifferent, all we can do is leave."

Tou Shanman was stunned, and sighed softly: "The old man also knows that this incident is a rebellion... But the war has ended like this, and the great god refuses to admit defeat. If this continues, it will not be a loss." War is the vitality of the entire nation." Speaking of this, the old guy's face has darkened: "Itagaki-kun, if there is a coup here in Tokyo, Mr. Bei and some revolutionaries support the new emperor, I don't know if we can get the garrison Recognition by the local army? Now my worry is that it will be like the Russian Revolution... If there is a civil war, the gains will outweigh the losses."

Itagaki smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's hard to say...Maybe Imamami will become a figure like Emperor Go-Daigo, and Japan will also fall into a new Warring States period. By then, we people will be infamous for thousands of years. A national thief!"

With a snap, Tou Shanman patted the coffee table in front of him heavily, and looked at Itagaki coldly: "Mr. Itagaki, please cheer up, what we are doing now is to save the country! It is not for personal power, How can it be compared with Ashikaga Takaji and others?"

Itagaki stood up and bowed to Tou Shanman: "The student understands the painstaking efforts of the master. When the student and Nagata-kun arrive in Hawaii, they will naturally report everything to His Majesty, hoping to obtain His Majesty's understanding."

"Your Majesty... I don't know what you people think, but you really regard him as a god!" Toushan said with a face full of contempt: "Even if the emperor is as holy as the Meiji Emperor, he was just a member of the Sachang faction. It’s just a puppet, why are you…”

Itagaki Seishiro shook his head with a wry smile. These people all grew up in Japan after the Meiji Restoration, and they received the education of respecting the emperor since they were young. Of course, their thinking cannot be compared with those left over from the shogunate era like Toyama Mitsuru.But now most of the backbone of the Japanese army and navy are guys who are full of loyalty to the emperor.If the Hawaiian god issued some decree to refer to the new government that came to power in a coup as rebellion, and called on the army loyal to the emperor to crusade, Japan would really fall into the abyss of eternal doom!

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh: "Sir, Your Majesty will know our difficulties. If Your Majesty must issue an edict against rebellion, then the student, Mr. Nagata and Mr. Okamura are ready to remonstrate with death! This is the only one we have. I can do it. For the future, I can only get rid of the worries of the teacher and Mr. Bei."

……

Asakusa, Tokyo, the private residence of Fummaro Konoe, the Prime Minister of Japan.

Yoshizawa Kenkichi's car stopped at the door of this mansion that miraculously survived the bombing (in fact, there was an order not to bomb it).When the former Japanese envoy to China got off the car, the first thing he saw was the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division standing guard at the door.A shiny bayonet was attached to the Type [-] rifle, but there was a hint of confusion in the eyes of these soldiers.The streets are still deserted, and most of the people who escaped from Tokyo have not yet returned.

The housekeeper of the Konoe family welcomed Fangze into the mansion respectfully.Fangze noticed that the servants in this big mansion were busy packing their things. Boxes with seals were piled up in the courtyard one by one. The antiques that were originally placed in the living room had long since disappeared. It was put away during the bombing, and it was still stored in a wooden box in the yard.The door of the living room was open, and Konoe Fumimaro was sitting there, staring at the boxes stacked high in the courtyard in a daze.The wealth accumulated by the Konoe family over the years is contained in it!

Seeing Kenkichi Yoshizawa coming in, Konoe waved his hands to make all the servants in the courtyard back, and Fangze also asked the secretary who followed him to back down, then took off his shoes and walked into the living room.Sitting down in front of Fumimaro Konoe, he nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, are you going on a long trip? Are you going to Hawaii to follow His Majesty?"

Konoe Fumimaro smiled lightly.I personally poured a cup of tea for Yoshizawa Kenkichi: "The Fujiwara family has followed the emperor for more than 1000 years. The thought of being loyal to the emperor has long been dissolved in the blood. Even if His Majesty leaves Japan, we will follow him to the death." .”

After listening to Konoe's words, Yoshizawa Kenkichi couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Your Majesty needs Your Excellency to follow, but what about the citizens? It is impossible for all 7000 million citizens to follow His Majesty, right? Japan is their homeland, don't you just Don't you intend to protect these citizens who have given everything for the country and the emperor?"

Konoe Fumimaro shook his head slowly, and said in a very sincere tone: "Yoshizawa-kun, I know that you represent Mr. Inuyang (Inuyang Takeshi), and I also know that you plan to cooperate with China to preserve Japan's Vitality. I also agree with this very much. But it is impossible for me to betray His Majesty. Between His Majesty and the people, my choice will always be His Majesty! This may be the biggest difference between Mr. Inuyang and Mr. Fangze. Is it different?" At this point, he sighed again, with a painful expression on his face: "I also heard about some conspiracy, it seems that someone is going to start an incident, such a thing is really... well, I Don't say anything, anyway, you can do it yourself."

After saying these words, Konoe Fumimaro stood up, turned around and left the living room, walked to the middle of the courtyard, stood in front of the boxes stacked high, and then remained motionless.

But Yoshizawa Kenkichi heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Konoe had acquiesced in the imminent coup d'état.Although this person has determined to follow Emperor Hirohito to the death, he has not yet reached the point of destroying Japan for this.With the acquiescence of the Prime Minister and Nagata, Okamura and other high-level military officials, there should be no problems in the next incident, right?As long as Japan can maintain unity, the Chinese will always have a way to deal with it...

……

"This is 150 taels of gold. Everyone in your squadron will have one, and after the event is completed, each person will be given one... This is collected by the Comrade Association through special channels, and it will be used as settlement expenses for all officers and soldiers participating in the operation." ! The specific time of the operation, there will be a special person to comrade you later, the secret code is... everything must be ready by then, and key officers are not allowed to leave the barracks from now on!"

In the various barracks of the Tokyo First Division, such conversations began almost simultaneously.The neatly wrapped gold bars were sent to the leaders of the infantry squadrons who were also members of the Reform Comrade Association by the backbone of the Reform Comrade Association.For the lower-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army who are about to lose their ideals and hopes, things like money can always inspire some motivation.

Of course, among the grassroots officers of the army, there are always some guys who only know "following the public and obeying the law" at all times.The secret activities of the Restoration Comrades Association were quickly reported to the headquarters of the First Division.However, as the head of the First Division, Yokoyama Yong received the appointment of the deputy commander of the 11th Army transferred to Kyushu at this time, and the new head of the First Division was the old-fashioned Lieutenant General Lin Xian (historical above is the general).The lieutenant general had retired from active duty as early as 1934, and was called up as a court-martial judge only recently.When he received the order to serve as the head of the First Division, he thought that he had made a mistake because of his old eyesight.He also made a special call to the military department to inquire, which almost made a joke.

After receiving the report of "someone organized a rebellion", the veteran lieutenant general did not believe it at first, and later had to organize an investigation because he received several similar reports.Unfortunately, the officer he sent to investigate happened to be the backbone of the Restoration Comrade Association... and there was only one result of the investigation, that is, the time of the incident was brought forward to the early morning of February 1940, 2.

At that time, more than [-] army officers and soldiers around Tokyo will act simultaneously to launch a coup under the slogan "Showa Restoration".Occupy the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister’s official residence, the headquarters, the Army Ministry, the Army Staff Headquarters, the Navy Ministry, the Naval Command Headquarters, as well as various major government agencies, radio stations, newspaper offices, major bridges in Tokyo, railway stations, and airports according to the plan Wait for all important goals!The candidate for the new emperor has also been determined. He is Emperor Hirohito's youngest brother, Prince Chongren, who is currently a cavalry lieutenant. The prime minister of the new government is Kita Ikki, the leader of the Japanese Kuomintang party...

In short, if all goes well, when the sun sets on February 1940, 2, Japan will probably be able to completely get rid of this nightmare war!

……

Port of Yokosuka, Japan.

The sea water gently slapped the steel hull, and goose-feather-like snowflakes also swirled down one after another.In the midst of a snowstorm, naval soldiers wearing sea soul shirts were carrying bundled suitcases onto several ships near the pier under the command of officers.There are also many well-dressed Japanese men and women, carrying luggage, dragging their children and lining up in several rows, silently boarding the boat.All the people didn't say a word, only the sound of waves and wind could be heard on the whole pier.

Next to these ships, there are several old coastal defense ships, most of them are old goods before and after the Russo-Japanese War.Now the essence of the Japanese navy is either destroyed by the flames of war or is busy transporting personnel and supplies to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, leaving only these old-fashioned warships in the country.The largest of these is the battleship Asahi in the Russo-Japanese War. The general flag of Hidesuke Yamamoto is now hanging on the flagpole of Asahi's stern.

On the port deck of the Asahi, two officers in woolen admiral uniforms were strolling, passing everywhere.All officers and soldiers stood at attention and saluted.Of these two, one is the commander of this fleet, Admiral Yamamoto Hidesuke.And the other is the newly appointed captain of the Asahi, Colonel Fuken Goro.

The Weng and his son-in-law walked in the snow.There were a lot of white snowflakes on the military cap and shoulders, but they didn't care.Just frowning watching the scene of the big retreat on the pier.

"Father, are you really going to hand over Japan to those people like this? As soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor, what should we do..."

"What can you do?"

"According to what we know, the main people who participated in Bei Yihui's plot were members of the Restoration Comrade Association. They have a certain influence in the First Division, and there are also people from them in the Guards Division... the Ministry of the Army and the staff There are also some lower-level officers in the headquarters who are influenced by them. But there are not many followers in other army units, and basically no followers in our navy... For such a conspiracy group, as long as we join forces with the army and use Yokosuka's navy It is not difficult for the Marine Corps and the 1th and [-]th Divisions of the Army stationed in Shizuoka and Fukushima counties to crush them."

Eisuke Yamamoto smiled faintly: "What about after the crushing? Will the Chinese let Japan go... Even if we wipe out all the members of the Restoration Comrades and the Japanese Kuomintang members who participated in the conspiracy, Japan will still not be saved. The Chinese still have a lot of uranium What about the bomb. Kengoro, think about it, since the cabinet and us can’t negotiate with the Chinese to preserve the vitality of the country, why can’t we give others a chance?”

"But what would His Majesty the Emperor think? What would he think of the inaction of the army and navy in this turmoil?" Ganfu Kengoro's face was serious, and he didn't know if he was really worried about Japan's national fate, or because the Chinese didn't get his consent. Just drop three atomic bombs on North Korean soil!

Eisuke Yamamoto stopped, stood on the side of the railing on the side of the ship, looked at the "Japanese national elites" who were queuing up on the pier, and shook his head with a wry smile: "What can your Majesty do? Lost the entire empire and ran to Hawaii This small place... besides relying on our navy and army, who else can he rely on? Even if he knows that we have acquiesced in this accident, he can only hold his nose as if nothing happened."

At this moment, another long row of cars slowly drove into the pier and stopped beside the battleship Asahi.Seeing these cars, Eisuke Yamamoto took a picture of the son-in-law beside him, smiled and said: "This should be the car of Prime Minister Konoe and the two ministers Nagata and Shimada. They will leave Japan on this Asahi...Humble Goro, come with me to meet them."

Ganfu was startled when he heard the words, and raised his binoculars to look, and sure enough those who got out of the car were Fumimaro Konoe, Tieshan Nagata, and Shigetaro Shimada.He looked at his father-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Father, when will we leave Japan?"

Yamamoto raised his wrist to look at the time, and replied: "There are still three hours... that is, the official departure at 15 pm on February 2, Showa 14." He looked up at Yokosuka Port in the snowstorm again, With a long sigh: "I don't know when I will be able to return to Japan!"

……

If there was anyone among the top Japanese figures in Tokyo who knew nothing about this military coup d'état called "Japan's February Revolution" by later historians on the afternoon of February 2, it was Hanin The two royal marshals, Prince Gong Zairen and Prince Li Hongong Shouzheng.They are now silently facing each other in the commander's office of the Home Defense General Headquarters outside Tokyo, holding a telegram they just received, looking over and over there, the more they look at it, the more livid their faces become!

I don’t know what Emperor Hirohito, who was still on his way to Hawaii, actually sent a telegram to the headquarters in Tokyo this morning, appointing Prince Kanin Gongzaihito, the former chief of the Army Staff Headquarters, as the commander of the Home Defense Army official!And King Mamoru Nagamoto was even more unlucky. He was appointed as the commander of the Japanese underground army, which solved Neiji Okamura's tricks... It is estimated that Nagata Tieshan, who has great powers, is behind it!

The room was quiet, and the two princes were silent.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. As soon as the office door was pushed, Lieutenant General Toshishiro Obata, Chief of Staff of the Homeland Defense Army, walked in quickly.

"Your Excellency, the two commanders, just received an urgent telegram from Jeju Island. The scout fishing boats sent by the 21st Army have sent a huge Chinese fleet to Kyushu Island!"

Xianyuangong and Lihongong glanced at each other at the same time, and both put down the telegrams in their hands. Xianyuangong took a deep breath, stood up and said to Xiaobata: "Okay, the one who should come is finally here! Go and inform the headquarters Our staff members gathered in the war room, and we are about to start the battle to defend the Japanese mainland!" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Hongong, who was younger than himself, and said, "Your Majesty Li Hong, come together and discuss your plans. How the underground army should fight."

"Underground army? I don't know how many broken guns there are..." Li Bengong straightened his face and said nonchalantly.
