"If you don't have a gun, take it from the Chinese people!" Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen interrupted Lihongong's words: "Even the samurai of the Japanese Empire can fight with bamboo spears (sharpened moso bamboo)! Don't complain anymore, Come with me!"

Li Bengong immediately shut up, even though he is a marshal like Xianyuan Gong, but he is the son (adopted son) of Emperor Xiaoming, and his brand is much stronger than himself!In front of such an elder of the royal family, he didn't have the right to speak, so he could only follow in the direction of the war room honestly.

Chapter 0982 Japan's "February Revolution" (2.15) [-] Incident

Late at night on February 1940, 2.It was a sleepless night for most of the powerful figures in Imperial Japan.Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister Nagata Tetsuzan, and Prime Minister Shimada Shintaro were in the officer's lounge of the battleship Asahi sailing to Hawaii, discussing how to persuade Emperor Hirohito to back down, and they couldn't come up with a solution until late at night.On the other hand, Emperor Hirohito himself was on another battleship Nagato sailing to Hawaii, and he couldn't sleep all night. He was having a meeting with his important ministers to discuss the defense of the homeland and the strategy and tactics of the resistance movement after the fall of the homeland.Foreign Minister Togo Matoku is one of the few figures in the Japanese cabinet who are still in Tokyo. He spent the whole night in the Russian embassy in Tokyo, having secret talks with Kita Ikki, the next prime minister of the Japanese Empire. The Chinese representative Kawashima Yoshiko was with them too.Dongxiang Maode seems to have made up his mind to join the peace movement.

Once served as the Prime Minister of Japan, and also an old friend of the Chinese reactionaries, the immortal "ghost fox" Inuyang Yi, drank with another old guy Toyama this night, and the two old foxes were in a very bad mood. After drinking, they began to draw circles and curse the Chinese reactionaries... But after the curse is over, they still have to have the cheek to participate in the construction of a new order in East Asia.In any case, these two old faces still have some effect on some outdated Chinese politicians.

The emergency meeting of the Japanese Defense Forces headquarters in the Sumida River area on the outskirts of Tokyo lasted all night.The news that the Chinese fleet is approaching Japan has been confirmed by the "fishing boats" sent by Kyushu!The spies lurking in Taiwan also reported that Chiang Kai-shek, the commander of China's Japanese Front Army, also held an oath meeting in Taipei this morning, and delivered a long speech on "Liberating Japan and Establishing a New Order in East Asia"!All signs indicate that the landing of the Chinese army is imminent.But Japan's homeland defense is not ready yet!

Most of the elite of the 600 million army are either waiting to die in North Korea or being defeated in Australia. There are also more than ten to 20 army troops in the Japanese Philippines, Japanese East Indies, Hawaii, Panama and other places. Dowan is the main force defending the Japanese mainland.There are a lot of people, but except for the first division, the guard division, and the fourth division, which are also planned to be transported to Hawaii, the other troops are all improvised "rifle divisions". "Basically, there are no heavy weapons, and even the most basic rifles are not available. How can such an army resist the Chinese who are armed to the teeth?

At the end of the combat meeting, it became a complaint meeting. All the staff members of the headquarters of the home defense army were complaining that the army had abandoned them and Japan!However, Prince Hanin Palace Zaijin and Prince Narumoto Palace Shouzheng have troubles and cannot tell. Isn’t it under their auspices that Japan’s domestic weapons and elite troops are transported to the "New Japan State" in batches? ?Now it's self-inflicted.

As for the rest of the Japanese upper-class figures who are still stranded in Tokyo, they are either packing up and preparing to escape by boat tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or they are secretly contacting the Japanese Kuomintang or the Restoration Comrades Association, intending to accept false posts, and in the future Japan Find a place in the new order.

……

Just as the entire upper class in Japan is thinking about it and looking for a way out.In the barracks of the 10rd and [-]th Wings of the Yoyogi Barracks in downtown Tokyo, there was a tense atmosphere about the imminent battle.Boxes of bullets were taken out of the armory and sent to various barracks for distribution. Every soldier silently took [-] rounds of bullets and pressed them into the magazines of the rifles.They have also received the settling fee of one tael of gold, and the news that His Majesty the Emperor was hijacked to Hawaii by the national thieves has also been learned through the mouths of their respective squadron leaders, and they don't need to think about what to do next, in short, obey the above Command to save the Empire of Japan!And those squadron leaders, squad leaders, and sergeants are fully armed at this time, holding their sabers tightly in their hands, guarding the door of their respective barracks, and not allowing any soldiers to leave without authorization before causing trouble!

Almost all the squadrons of the two wings belonging to the First Division participated in this incident.Nearly half of the squadrons of the First and Second Squadrons stationed in Yokohama were controlled by the Restoration Comrades.As for the high-level brigade commanders, division commanders, and chiefs of staff of the First Division, they also stayed in the dormitories of their respective barracks with great interest this night, sleeping soundly with their comfort women in their arms...they don’t need Whatever you do, as long as you don't do anything, there will always be places for them in the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Headquarters when things are done.

However, the situation of the Konoe Division, another unit stationed near Tokyo, is more complicated. The No. 51 Konoe and No. [-] Konoe Wings have already left Japan with Emperor Hirohito.Now stationed around the palace are the Third Guards and the Fourth Guards Regiment, and several squadron leaders in these two regiments have been persuaded by Comrade Wei Xin.However, most of the squadrons did not participate in the incident.In addition, the current head of the Guards Division, Shojiro Iida, is one of the rare isolated elements among the senior generals of the Japanese army. Get into the lieutenant general.For this kind of guy who doesn't fit in, the members of the Reform Comrades' Association were not sure how to persuade him, so they simply didn't have any contact with him.And this misfit Iida seemed to have heard some rumors, and slept in the barracks of the Guards Division tonight.When some squadrons of the Third Guards Regiment and the Fourth Regiment received orders from the Restoration Comrade Association, they left the barracks and began to assemble as a whole on the playground.Shojiro Iida was awakened by the movement outside the window, and immediately realized that the rumors of mutiny were true!

He immediately called the headquarters of the Defense Force outside Tokyo, but the phone line had already been cut.When he called out to the messengers, he was about to summon the officers who were still loyal to the emperor to maintain order.The door of the room was kicked open, and it was the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division with loaded guns and live ammunition who rushed in, led by Lieutenant Zuo Suhara Hideyasu, the captain of the First Battalion of the Third Guards Regiment.

"Awahara-kun, what do you want to do! Do you know that such behavior violates military law and honor of soldiers?" Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro, disheveled, just questioned.Su Yuan Xiu'an raised his sharp saber and shouted loudly: "Heavenly Punishment!"The 2.15 mutiny in Japan that shocked the world started in this way!

At this time, in the Yoyogi barracks, the old lieutenant general Lin Xianzhi and several major generals who pretended to be confused have been put under house arrest very politely.The nearly 7000 infantry of the two regiments are now in the hands of Lieutenant Teruzo Ando Teruzo and Major Nishida Tax!

Thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers lined up neatly on the large playground in Yoyogi, and all of them tied white towels on their right arms as identification marks.Ando Teruzo and Nishida tax stood at the front of the queue.Teru Ando said in a loud voice: "The Showa Restoration has begun! The squadrons have started to act according to the plan and must resolutely complete the task! Tonight we will fight against the national traitors and overthrow the reactionary government, and the new Japan will be in our hands in the future! Now... start action!"

Following Teruzo Ando's order, thousands of Japanese infantrymen, led by their respective officers, ran away from the large playground in Yoyogi in squadrons and marched towards various important targets in Tokyo!Soon the sound of rifles was heard all over Tokyo.First around the imperial palace, then near Kasumigaseki, and in a blink of an eye, the whole of Tokyo was filled with gunshots as dense as fried beans.

Stray bullets pierced the night sky and swept across the sky, like fireworks that exploded suddenly.Standing on the roof of the headquarters of the Home Defense Forces in the Sumida River on the outskirts of Tokyo, Prince Hanin Gongzaihito and Prince Narumoto Palace Morisha saw such a scene!There were faint gunshots ping-pong in my ears.

"Reverse! Reverse! This gang of national thieves actually did such a thing!" After all, the elderly Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace has seen the world, and when he sees such a scene, he knows that someone is rebelling!

Prince Shousho, who had been a vase all his life, also jumped up, and shouted at Toshishiro Obata, the chief of staff standing behind him: "Mr. Obata, Mr. Obata! Hurry up and give Shojiro Iida, the head of the guard division, and Lin Xianzhi, the head of the first division, called! They are asked to mobilize troops to quell the chaos, the Chinese will soon invade, and Tokyo cannot be thrown into chaos at this time!"

Toshishiro Obata exclaimed, turned around and was about to deliver the order, but was stopped by Prince Zairen of the Palace of Xianyuan: "Mr. Xiaohata, there is no need to go, it is already too late! If Iida-kun and Lin-jun can still control the troops now If... the situation in Tokyo would not be like that.” The old prince’s face was gloomy and scary, he took a breath, and ordered: “Let all the captains and squadron leaders of the security brigade of the headquarters gather in the conference room , I have something to tell them!"

"Hay!" Xiaohata's face was also ashen. During this period of time, he had been busy making all kinds of unrealistic decisive battle plans, and he didn't know anything about such a change!After paying a military salute to the two princes, he left in a hurry.On the roof of the headquarters, there were only Hanyuan Palace and Li Hongong.

"Prince Zairen, look at this..."

Li Bengong is actually a guy who has no idea, and now he is even more confused, the muscles on his face are twitching slightly, and he is looking forward to Xianyuangong, waiting for his old man to make up his mind.

Xianyuan Gong stared at the burning Tokyo city in the distance, sighed after a while, and said in a low voice: "Pear Hongu, who in Japan can be the emperor now?"

Li Bengong gasped, but still stabilized his voice: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

Kanin Palace smiled coldly, and turned to look at Nashimoto Palace: "Even if these national thieves can control Tokyo, they dare not change Japan's national system! Japan is not China. The descendants of Emperor Jimmu have ruled Japan for more than 500 years... The emperor has long been the god in the hearts of the Japanese people! So these national thieves also need an emperor to stabilize the situation, but not everyone can sit on the seat of the emperor! Rikamoto Palace, do you understand? Is there anyone in Japan who can do it now? Emperor?"

Hearing these words, the muscles on Rika's face suddenly twitched, her brows furrowed tightly, and she murmured: "Now that most of the royal family have left Japan, the best remaining candidate to be the emperor is... ...Your Majesty's youngest brother, Prince Chongren, and...and you, Prince Zairen, and after that...it's me."

Prince Zairen cast a cold glance at Li Hongong: "Do you want to be the emperor?"

"No! No! No... How can I do such a rebellious thing!" Li Bengong shook his head like a rattle.

Prince Zairen nodded: "I will not do it, even if I die! Now only Prince Chongren is left. And he is in Tokyo now!" Having said this, Prince Zairen sighed softly Tone: "The rebels must have controlled him by now, and the future of Japan depends on the will of His Highness."

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Toshishiro Obata ran up out of breath, and reported loudly: "Your Highness, the captain of the security force, Ikeda, and the three squadron leaders and nine small captains are all called together. They are all loyal to His Majesty!"

Zai Ren and Li Bengong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Prince Zai Ren said: "Okay, I'll go and have a word with them, and then we will split up. I will go to Shizuoka to take control of the Fourth Division." He looked at Li Bengong: " If you go to the 105th Division in Futian County, you must also hold this division in your hands! In this way, as long as His Majesty suppresses the rebellion, we will be able to take back Tokyo!"

……

The car of Prince Takahito Mikasa was driving at high speed on the streets of Tokyo, and the flag with the chrysanthemum emblem was flying on the car.Only 25 years old, Prince Chongren himself is sitting in the back seat of the car, and beside him sits a middle-aged man in a well-trimmed suit and a carefully trimmed mustache.Prince Chongren just found out that this person is the famous Bei Yihui, who is also the mastermind behind tonight's coup d'état!He is also the next Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire... a national traitor who ascended to the throne of Prime Minister through a military coup against the enemy!

What makes Prince Chongren feel helpless and frustrated is that he himself will soon become a national thief, and his crime is even greater than this Bei Yihui!Because he is going to be the 125th emperor of the Japanese Empire!At this time, the car was already approaching the Imperial Palace, and the speed also slowed down.Chongren saw a group of army officers and soldiers with white towels tied to their arms surging up the street.As soon as they saw the chrysanthemum emblem on the car, which symbolized the royal family, they all stopped and bowed.Seeing this scene, Prince Chongren secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, these lawless rebels finally recognized the chrysanthemum emblem, and presumably they were also loyal to the emperor, but they were deceived by some careerists.Thinking of this, he glanced at Bei Yihui beside him, and saw the excitement that could not be concealed on the face of the prime minister-designate.

Probably having noticed Prince Chongren's gaze, Bei Yihui turned his head and nodded slightly at the prince, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Imperial Palace has been controlled by the 'reformers', and you will be enthroned there as soon as the day breaks." Emperor, the fate of the Japanese Empire is in your hands, and you will become an emperor as great as Emperor Meiji, and complete the unfinished business of Emperor Meiji."

"Surrender to the Chinese is the unfinished business of Emperor Meiji?" As a lieutenant in the army, Prince Chongren seemed to have a bit of blood (he was afraid of pain and refused to cut seppuku before he was captured), and stabbed Bei Yihui coldly.

Bei Yihui smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Majesty is the one who lost this war. The people have sacrificed everything, and the army and navy have also tried their best to fight...but the battle is still lost!" Emphasized the tone: "If you lose, you must admit that fleeing to Hawaii like His Majesty will not solve the problem! Surrendering to the victorious China at this time is not surrender, but fulfilling the responsibility of a ruler. Only when it is over Only with this war can Japan's road to recovery begin!"

Chongren smiled wryly: "Renaissance?... Do you think the Chinese people will allow the empire to be revived? If Japan wins this war, will Japan allow China to be revived? Mr. Bei, please don't forget, China and Japan are neighboring countries! Both are advanced countries in Asia, and Japan is the only country that can threaten China's ruling power in Asia! If you are the ruler of China, can you not suppress such a country?"

Bei Yihui looked at Prince Chongren who was a little excited, and didn't know what to say for a while. Although the other party was young and inexperienced, everything he said was reasonable.However, Prince Chongren was still self-serving and said: "It's okay to be suppressed by China, the worst is to let Japan survive tenaciously under the shadow of China! But now you have launched such a rebellion, you know you What did you do? You are splitting Japan! Japan is a small country, but now it has been defeated... If 7000 million people are united, China will at most suppress it, but if we split, Japan will really perish , then we will be the sinners of the Japanese nation!"

"Split? Japan will not split!" Bei Yihui smiled confidently: "Didn't His Royal Highness realize that the incident last night went very smoothly?"

Prince Chongren was startled when he heard the words, Bei Yihui leaned closer to his ear, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, this incident, including Prime Minister Konoe, Minister of the Army and Navy, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and some powerful people in the field, have all been informed beforehand. I know, some of them still participated in it, and some of them acquiesced... The only ones who were really kept in the dark were probably the two Princes of the Defense Army and their confidants? So this incident has a considerable social basis , represents the wishes of the entire Japanese upper class, and the situation in Japan will surely be stabilized quickly."

Prince Chongren gave a long sigh and shook his head: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bei, please don't underestimate my big brother... With him in Hawaii, the dissatisfied forces in the country will have a banner to resist, unless your majesty is willing to back down." ..."

Chapter 0983 Japan's "February Revolution" ([-]) New Warring States Period

On the morning of February 1940, 2, under the auspices of the senior minister and member of the House of Lords, Takeshi Inukai.Prince Takahito of Mikasa Palace officially ascended the throne at the Imperial Residence in Tokyo, Japan, and changed the year name to the first year of Kotoku, and respected Emperor Hirohito who was hijacked by "national thieves" as the emperor.Subsequently, the freshly-baked Emperor Kotoku issued an imperial edict, praising the loyal and brave men of the Restoration Comrades Association who launched the operation to drive out the national traitors.And appointed the spiritual leader of the Restoration Comrades Association, the leader of the Japanese Kuomintang, Kita Ikki, to form an interim cabinet.At the same time, the Imperial Parliament will be dissolved, and a formal cabinet will be formed after re-election.But everyone knows that the so-called re-election must be under the control of the Reform Comrade Association and the Japanese Kuomintang, and the result of the election is naturally without any suspense.

Later in the afternoon, Emperor Kotoku once again issued an imperial edict, reprimanding Konoe Fumimaro and other national thieves, Emperor Xiechi Showa (Hirohito), for deceiving and oppressing the people, launching a war against the United States and China, and dragging Japan into a state of perdition The guilt of the abyss.And announced to accept China's "policy adjustment statement toward Japan", accept the peace conditions proposed by the Chinese government a few days ago, sign the "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty", and seek reconciliation with the United States.Finally, a wanted order was issued, demanding that the fugitive Konoe Fumimaro, Nagata Tieshan, Shimoda Shigetaro and other national thieves be brought to justice as soon as possible and be punished with the most severe punishment!However, there is no mention of the two princes who are in charge of the Japanese Defense Forces in this Huanghuang imperial edict, Prince Hanin Palace Zaijin and Prince Narumoto Palace Shouzheng... In fact, the newly established Japanese central government until February 2 Day and night, there was no telegram of allegiance to any Japanese city other than Tokyo and Yokohama. The Japanese army and navy with millions of people will wait and see again at this time!Only the Tokyo First Division and Konoe Division, which participated in the coup, issued a statement of allegiance to Emperor Hirotoku, and the rest of the troops did not say a word, neither declaring their allegiance to the new emperor, nor expressing their support for the fleeing Emperor Hirohito.The whole of Japan seems to be entering a state of warlord separatism overnight!

……

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something is wrong, Tokyo...Tokyo..." Kido Koichi almost rushed into Emperor Hirohito's cabin.As soon as I entered the door, I heard a crash, and I didn't know what it was broken.When Kido looked up, he saw Emperor Hirohito standing there in uniform, looking at him with a livid face, as if his whole body was trembling slightly!

At this time, it was already pitch black outside the cabin, but Hirohito didn't seem to be going to sleep. It seemed that he was drinking tea with Empress Ryoko before Kido broke in. At this moment, there were some broken porcelain pieces at his feet. There are also water stains... It should have been accidentally smashed after being frightened.Empress Liangzi was sitting on a chair, staring at Kido lying on the ground dumbfounded, and the expression of fear gradually climbed onto her face.

"Kido! Could it be...the Chinese bombed Tokyo with uranium bombs!" Hirohito's voice trembled when he asked this question.During this period of time, rumors that the Chinese were going to use uranium bombs to attack the Japanese mainland spread around the world at an extremely fast speed. Those heartless Western observers published articles in newspapers, analyzing which city in Japan was the most Deserving of an atomic bomb.Among them, the more consistent opinion is that Tokyo will definitely be bombed!Followed by Kyoto and Osaka... Such analysis was naturally sent to the battleship Nagato by Japanese diplomats in secret telegrams, and Emperor Hirohito, who saw these reports, was also worried about his capital day and night.

Knowing that Hirohito would be distracted, why did Kido Koichi shake his head vigorously: "No, it's not from China, but... but a traitor from the country! The First Division and the Guards Division stationed in Tokyo early this morning were in Restoration The Comrade Association and the Japanese Kuomintang launched a rebellion. By morning, the rebels had completely controlled Tokyo, and they supported... supported Mikasa Palace as the false emperor! Appointed Kita Ikki as the prime minister, and also used the false emperor's name Respect Your Majesty as the Emperor, and accept the peace talks proposed by China to end the war!"

With a plop, Emperor Hirohito had already slumped on the ground, muttering in his mouth: "This... this... These national thieves are really bold! It's too outrageous! Where's the guard? Where's the palace? What are they doing? What to eat? Why didn’t you send troops to suppress it? What bastards! Could it be that they also participated in the rebellion?”

Kido Koichi gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "...Your Majesty, Prime Minister Konoe, Nagata, Shimada and other ministers have boarded the warship that left Japan for Hawaii on the 14th, and are now on the Pacific Ocean...Prince Kanin Palace Zaihito Immediately after the outbreak of the rebellion, King Mamoru Shousho of Warimoto Palace left Tokyo and went to the 105th Division stationed in Shizuoka Prefecture and the [-]th Division stationed in Fukushima Prefecture to master the troops. Both divisions are now They are already under the control of the two Highnesses, and the telegram to His Majesty was sent by the two of them." As he spoke, Kido tremblingly climbed up to Hirohito, and handed a copy of the telegram to the Emperor.

Hirohito unfolded the telegram and looked at it, heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately frowned again: "What about my other armies? Why are only two divisions loyal to me? My 600 million army, my combined fleet..." Speaking of this, Hirohito seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Kido with horror on his face: "Where is Yamamoto 56? Such a big thing happened, why didn't he come to see me!"

"General Yamamoto is outside, waiting for His Majesty to summon you." Kido hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please cheer up. Both General Yamamoto and the United Fleet need a wise king like Your Majesty."

Hirohito finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with Kido's support, straightened his military uniform, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down, so that he could look like a wise gentleman... If Yamamoto saw that he was paralyzed The emperor on the ground, maybe he will turn his back on Chongren in Tokyo!

"Your Majesty, the army and navy of the entire Japanese Empire are now waiting for His Majesty's statement!" Kido reminded again: "The edict of the false emperor has been issued, but in addition to the First Division and the Imperial Guard Division, there are also troops from Tokyo, Yokohama The two places, other troops and places have not responded, and now it is time for His Majesty to express his attitude."

"Statement?" Yuren was slightly taken aback, and asked in a calm voice: "What are these people waiting for me to express?"
