In view of the assassination and killing of several division heads in succession in the near future, as well as the severe damage or even complete annihilation of successive divisions, coupled with the death of Shunroku Hata and the series of impacts caused by it, we will discuss a countermeasure.

In a conference room of the Imperial Palace, more than a dozen senior military officers are all in the dojo. The one sitting at the top is Emperor Hirohito, and the one below him is the then Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, and below him are the various ministries of the army. The senior officers of the various generals.

As for those lieutenant generals who are placed on the outside as officials of one side of the border, here they can only sit at the bottom of the table, and they are not even qualified to speak. They can only listen silently and are always ready to share the opinions and suggestions of several officers Get it on the record!

When all the officers were present, the meeting officially began.

And from the very beginning, Emperor Hirohito's complexion was not very good-looking, Konoe Fumima's complexion was even more so, even faintly livid.

As for the officers who attacked, their faces were also livid and angry!

"This is simply a disgrace!"

As soon as they thought of the topic they were about to discuss, this idea emerged in their hearts, and the anger in their hearts rose even more!

Chapter 701 An Unavoidable Problem!

"What should we do now? Who can come up with a charter for me!" As the most noble spiritual leader of the Japanese army, Emperor Hirohito sat in the top position, glanced at the officers present, and then said in a deep voice.

Although his real power in the country is not as good as before, he can only exist as a spiritual leader, and most of the power has been distributed by the prime minister and some ministers, but he is still the emperor after all.

When he speaks, no matter who it is, he must listen honestly!

In fact, Emperor Hirohito is in a very bad mood at the moment!

He didn't know what the empire's troops had done on the mainland recently. This time, such a big thing happened, mainly because things couldn't be suppressed, so he told himself this!

If it weren't for such a big incident, he probably didn't know that so many division heads had died recently, and even the third division was wiped out!

Some time ago, the army just said that the situation was very good, but why did their situation fall into the current situation in just a few months?

Emperor Hirohito was very puzzled, but more angry!

But after the anger, there is still helplessness!

His rights have been emptied, and now he has no rights other than appearing in the army as a spiritual symbol!

Up to now, the domestic base camp has never discussed any plans with him at all, and only sent the plans to him after discussing the plans for him to approve, and even some documents do not need to be approved by him, they only need to be passed. Chief Cabinet Secretary on it!

And he, like a chihuahua, was pulled up by them to act as a mascot when needed, and let him sit in the palace all the time when he was not needed.

How sad is this? !

However, Emperor Hirohito has no way to reverse his current situation at all!

Just when Hirohito was thinking like this, after hearing what Emperor Hirohito said at this moment, Cabinet Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, although we have to come up with a charter, we must first get things done. Clear! If you don’t understand it, it’s hard to deal with it! So..."

When talking about this, Konoe Fumimaro looked at Umezu Yoshijiro who was sitting next to him, and said: "Your Excellency Umezu Yoshijiro, as the commander of the Kwantung Army, you command all the armies in the mainland. I think you know better than we do." You need more, so please introduce the current situation to Your Majesty!"

"Hi!"

Hearing this, Umezu Yoshijiro nodded, then looked around at the people present, and said, "Your Majesty, colleagues, the current situation in the mainland is very tense! Our empire has reached the most critical moment!"

Umezu Yoshijiro looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "At present, our Central China and North China Front Army in China have all suffered heavy blows from the China Army to varying degrees. Organize a large battle!"

"As for the Central China Front Army... two divisions in a row suffered heavy losses or even were completely wiped out. In addition, Hata Toshiroku was assassinated by the Chinese Army. At present, the entire Central China Front Army is very tense, not to mention the strength of the troops, and even the emotional state of the soldiers is not very good. good!"

"It can be said that our North China and Central China can only defend passively, and have lost the ability to take the initiative!" Umezu Yoshijiro said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone present turned pale with shock, with a look of shock on their faces, they couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Is the situation endangered to this point?"

No one thought that the situation had become so dangerous!

Whether it was Konoe Fumimaro or Emperor Hirohito, although they had received news that the empire was in trouble on the mainland, they did not expect that the situation had deteriorated to this point!

This is almost on the verge of life and death!

After hearing this, everyone present fell into silence for a while.

Everyone has a look of uneasiness on their faces, and the expressions of Hirota Koki and Tojo Hideki are even worse. Hirota Koki is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Tojo Hideki is the Minister of War. Going out, once the matter is exposed, the domestic sentiment will be heated, and the cabinet will definitely be questioned. Under pressure, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro may use the two of them to take the blame.

Therefore, after hearing the situation in front of them, the faces of both of them were a little pale, eager to find a solution to change the situation.

After Umezu Yoshijiro said this, he sat in his seat with a face of indifference, as if these things had nothing to do with him at all. , but not worried about their own future, after all, such things can not be blamed on them!

On the other hand, Emperor Hirohito had an anxious expression on his face, Fummaro Konoe was only angry, and only Hideki Tojo and Koki Hirota couldn't sit still in the entire venue!

Seeing the expressions of these people, Hideki Tojo cursed inwardly, this group of people is usually very good, but at critical moments, none of them can be trusted!

However, despite cursing secretly in his heart, he couldn't show it in front of him. Instead, after frowning and thinking for a while, Hideki Tojo suddenly said: "Masters, after hearing what His Excellency Umezu Yoshijiro said, I miss you They all understand that for our empire, the situation has reached a moment of life and death! This is a fact that all of us cannot avoid and need to face!"

"So, in a situation like this, we need everyone to come together and get through this together!"

Hideki Tojo said in a deep voice: "It is conceivable that the situation of the Central China and North China Front Army will be very critical in the next period of time, and they will even bear a lot of pressure. This is only one aspect! The other aspect is The reason is that once this matter gets out, our empire will also suffer a lot internationally, after all, it is not a glorious thing for a commander to be assassinated in a surprise attack!"

"And after this kind of incident, China will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity. They will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury, and those international people who have ill intentions against us will also attack us and tarnish our reputation!"

"So, I hope you should understand that this is not just the responsibility of a certain person, nor is it just the responsibility of Hata Shunroku or a certain front army, it is the responsibility of our entire empire! This is something we all need to face The problem!"

"None of us can avoid it!"

Text Chapter 702 Hideki Tojo's plan!

Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice.

After hearing his words, Fummaro Konoe just looked up at Hideki Tojo, while Yoshijiro Umezu looked at Hideki Tojo with a look of contempt in his eyes.

What Hideki Tojo said seems to be very beautiful and perfect, but all of these people present are like human beings, so naturally they will not be fooled by Hideki Tojo!

They naturally understood in an instant that Hideki Tojo wanted to shirk responsibility in advance!

What he said was very beautiful. He downplayed his status as the Minister of the Army, and made such a big problem in the mainland, but he, the Minister of the Army, did not take any effective measures. Among them Some faults were pushed away, but the problem was directly pushed to the end, and the problem was distributed to the entire country!

In this way, everyone will only focus on the consequences after the incident happened, and will only work hard to save the subsequent impact, and no one will worry about why such a thing happened!

After all, if someone carefully explores the reasons, they will find that Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Army, has a big reason for the problem to evolve into this way!

Because of his inaction, because of his negligence!

In the back, in order to further shirk responsibility, Hideki Tojo also directly shifted the responsibility to the Central China Front Army, and onto the dead Hata Shunroku.

In Hideki Tojo's mouth, what he meant was: Although this happened in the end because of Hata Shunroku and the Central China Front Army, we should not pay all our attention to the Central China Front Army and Hata Junroku. We should unite and imagine How to get through this difficult time!

The words are very beautiful, and people who don't know think that Hideki Tojo is washing the ground for Hata Toshiroku.

But Yoshijiro Umezu knew very well that what Hideki Tojo said seemed to be whitewashing Hata Shunroku, but in fact he was pouring dirty water on Hata Shunroku!

Because the underlying meaning of his words is that the main responsibility for such a big incident is because of Hata Junliu!
