This is simply outrageous!

After hearing this, Yoshijiro Umezu couldn't laugh or cry for a while. In his opinion, Hideki Tojo was simply changing concepts secretly and shirking responsibility!

But he didn't expose it!

After all, he couldn't offend Hideki Tojo because of a dead Hata Shunroku!

Although he doesn't think much of Hideki Tojo, and doesn't even like him!

But he didn't just say it so bluntly!

Therefore Umezu Yoshijiro is also silent!

The others also understood, but they were very sensible and did not speak. After Hideki Tojo finished speaking, seeing this scene, he felt secretly happy.

What does this mean?

This shows that his idea of ​​shirking responsibility is almost feasible!

Although these people don't agree, as long as they don't object, it's fine!

Thinking this way, Emperor Hirohito suddenly said, "Tojo-kun, according to your idea, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo said hastily: "Your Majesty, at this moment, it is too late for us to do anything, but no matter whether it is too late, what should be done is still to be done!"

"It's like recruiting soldiers in the local area, conducting recruit training, and then transporting them to China. In addition...in addition, let the North China and Central China Front Army stand by and wait for reinforcements. In a short period of time, they must not be dispatched without authorization, so as not to fall into the tricks of the China Army!"

Originally, Hideki Tojo wanted to say that he would call in some soldiers from the Kwantung Army to reinforce North China and Central China, but seeing Yoshijiro Umezu sitting there safely, he still didn't dare to say this in the end!

After all, Umezu Yoshijiro didn't provoke him. If he let the Kwantung Army transfer soldiers to leave, it would be equivalent to weakening the strength of the Kwantung Army. If he angered Umezu Yoshijiro, he would definitely have a hard time!

On the bright side, although he is the Minister of the Army, most of the soldiers of the Imperial Army are in China, and Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, is in command of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in China. If you deal with it, then he, the Minister of War, is basically equivalent to a polished commander!

In some respects, I still need to take care of Umezu Yoshijiro's thoughts!

Of course, these words are naturally not enough for outsiders!

But after he finished speaking, Hirota Hongyi frowned and said: "Tojo-kun, it's not that I refute your opinion, the suggestion you said has no effect at all! After all, the two things you said An idea, anyone can come up with it!"

Once a scapegoat is needed, he will inevitably choose one of Hirota Koji and Tojo Hideki. If Tojo Hideki's suggestion is adopted, then he himself will be in danger!

Therefore, after hearing Hideki Tojo's words, Hirota Koki immediately jumped out to refute!

"Of course I know that anyone can come up with these suggestions! But... Hirota-kun, I haven't finished my words yet, please wait patiently!" Tojo Hideki glanced at Hirota Hongyi, and then said: "The suggestions I mentioned earlier need to be carried out at the same time. This is the solution! And the next step is the solution!"

When he said this, Hideki Tojo said: "I'm afraid everyone here knows that once this matter gets out, the empire will definitely be questioned from all sides, our position will be very embarrassing, and the people will If they don't understand us, the outside world will laugh at us!"

"Under such circumstances, what should we do?" When Hideki Tojo said this, he glanced at Hongyi Hirota, but the other party snorted coldly, but he did not speak.

Hideki Tojo sneered, then looked away, and continued: "We should admit it frankly!"

"Nani?"

Hearing this, the other people present did not speak, and Hirota Koki, who had been waiting for Hideki Tojo to make a fool of himself, immediately spoke up, showing a look of disbelief, and questioned: "What did you say?!"

Pointing at Hideki Tojo, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are talking about? You actually said you admit it?! Do you know how much doubt the empire will face once you admit it? International Admiral, how many countries will laugh at us? Do you know that His Majesty and the Prime Minister will be under a lot of pressure at that time, and you will admit it frankly?"

"Is this the solution you came up with!? This is simply ridiculous!" Hirota Hongyi said disdainfully!

Not to mention that he must refute Hideki Tojo's suggestion, just say that this suggestion is not feasible in the first place!

If you really admit it frankly, I am afraid that the empire, especially in the interior, will explode immediately!

Main textChapter 703 Think long-term!

After all, when the time comes, there will definitely be an uproar in the country!

Maybe under the pressure, the Prime Minister couldn't bear it, and directly pushed him out as a scapegoat. At that time, everything would really be over!

It is precisely because of such thoughts that Hirota Hongyi has such a big reaction!

Not mentioning Koki Hirota, after hearing Hideki Tojo's words, Emperor Hirohito and Fummaro Konoe also frowned, and said with some puzzlement: "Tojo-kun, do you know what you are talking about? Have you really thought about the consequences of doing this?"

They both thought that Hideki Tojo had said something wrong!

So there is still a touch of displeasure in the words!

However, after hearing this, Hideki Tojo smiled lightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, of course I know what I'm talking about! I also know the consequences of doing this, but... in my opinion, this But it is what we need to do most, and it is also the best way!"

He didn't wait for other people to ask questions, and said directly: "Please think about it, gentlemen, once this matter is publicized, the whole world will definitely know all the truth. What can we do? The people will still know! Instead of refusing to admit it to the death and making the people lose confidence in us, so as to affect the subsequent conscription, it is better to admit it directly!"

"It's because of our negligence that the recent battle has been affected. Be sincere and let some people involved take responsibility. If this happens, I think the people in the country will forgive us!" Hideki Tojo said with confidence.

But when he said this, he glanced at Hirota Hongyi meaningfully, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

When Hirota Kouchi heard Tojo Hideki's words, his complexion changed instantly, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, absolutely no! This matter is absolutely absolutely impossible!"

"Huh?" Hirohito and Konoe Fummaro thought the plan was good and feasible after hearing Tojo Hideki's words, but after hearing Hirota Koki's words, they immediately raised their brows and said with some displeasure : "No? Why not? Could it be that Hirota-kun has other good ideas? You might as well just say it!"

Konoe Fumimaro said with a smile.

"This... this..." Hirota Hongyi said bitterly in his heart, this plan could never be carried out smoothly, otherwise, then Hirota Hiroki would definitely die!

But to talk about other ways...how could he think of a good way in such a short period of time!

Thinking of this, Hirota Koki even wondered if Hideki Tojo could think of this method in such a short period of time, did he plan to plot against him as early as when the news came back!

The more I think about Hirota Hongyi, the more I feel that this idea is right!

For a moment, I couldn't help but secretly hated Hirota Hongyi: Good you Hideki Tojo, I haven't provoked you yet, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to harm me, it's really evil!

The more he thinks about Hirota Koki, the angrier he becomes towards Hideki Tojo, and the hatred in his heart grows, but the sweat on his forehead also increases.

No matter how much he hates Hideki Tojo, but at this moment he has to think of a new method, or if this plan is really passed, then Hirota Koki will really be finished!

Just when Hideki Tojo was complacent, just when Hirota Koki was anxious, and just when everyone was watching with cold eyes, the whole conference room turned cold.

These people present are all good people, so they naturally know who will be the biggest beneficiaries and who will be the biggest victims after the whole plan is implemented!

But they dare not speak at all!

Firstly, they don't want to get into trouble, and secondly, they don't want to provoke Hideki Tojo for the sake of Hirota Koki!

Just when they were thinking like this, at the moment when the entire meeting room was silent, someone suddenly spoke at this moment!

"I think... this matter still needs a long-term plan!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the direction of the words.
