Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

When Jingren said this, he was very serious and there was less of a playful smile on his face.

Through the memories of his original body, Takuto Takazaki, Zhou Zhengqing has a very good understanding of Jingren's character.

Zhou Zhengqing understood that the previous conversation between the two was just a joke between good friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and now it was obvious that they were going to start talking about business.

"Bai Yanjun, the door on the left is also the exit, right? You go out from there and find a place to stay for a while, but don't meet the people outside." Zhou Zhengqing ordered, then looked at Yingzi: "Yingzi, you go with Bai Yanjun and the others."

"Captain Yingqi, that's the side door for doctors to come in and out. Not far away after you go out is the nurses' lounge. We can stay there for a while."

"Okay, you go first, I'll call you over later."

At this time, Yingzi shouted reluctantly: "Master! I..."

"Get out!" Zhou Zhengqing frowned.

Seeing that Zhou Zhengqing was unhappy, Yingzi didn't dare to say anything more. She just looked at Jingren hatefully, and then followed Bai Yanliusheng and others out through the side door.

After everyone left, Zhou Zhengqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you tell me now? This place is already very private, and no one will dare to disturb the doctor while he's "performing surgery" on me."

Jingren looked at the direction of the operating room door and said with emotion: "We Japanese are really old-fashioned. No one would think of leaning on the door to eavesdrop. If they could hear you, Yingqi-kun, speaking so vigorously, I think they might have rushed in a long time ago."

Zhou Zhengqing didn't say anything, but pointed to the spare pillow on the bedside and motioned Jingren to help get it.

The pillow was a high one, and when placed behind the back, one could lean back comfortably.

"You really think you are a patient. You actually order a prince like me to do things." Jingren shook his head, but still helped Zhou Zhengqing get the pillow.

Zhou Zhengqing took the pillow, stuffed it behind his back, found a comfortable position to lie down, and then said calmly: "Now you can tell me, what happened?"

"What's going on?"

"Princess Yuukone's matter? Why do you want me to get engaged to her?

Don’t use my father’s affairs as an excuse. I know that he is the emperor’s man, the one who helps the emperor deal with his “private affairs”. Although he acted on his own initiative last year, his life will definitely not be in jeopardy.”

When Zhou Zhengqing talked about his father, he was still a little hesitant. He felt awkward mentioning these two words in front of outsiders. He really didn't know what the scene would be like when he really met him one day.

"Haha, as expected, you have become difficult to fool.

Before leaving, my brother told me personally that you were the biggest obstacle to this engagement. I didn’t expect it to be true! "

Jingren chuckled and pulled a chair over to sit next to the bed.

"Now can you tell me the real reason?

You know me. If I don't want to do something, even my grandfather can't do anything to me.

Just like when I wanted to come to China, they all refused at first, but I ended up here anyway." Zhou Zhengqing put his hands behind his head and spoke casually.

This was the first time that Zhou Zhengqing had a conversation with someone of equal status since he traveled through time. The other person's status might be even higher than his own, after all, he was a member of the royal family.

"Military!"

When Jingren heard Zhou Zhengqing mention China, he showed a strange smile, and then suddenly uttered two words.

"Military?" Zhou Zhengqing was puzzled and repeated it doubtfully.

Jingren lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then spoke. "We in Japan are not a British parliamentary constitutional monarchy, but a Prussian constitutional monarchy modeled after Germany.

As the symbol and commander-in-chief of the state, His Majesty the Emperor legally has the highest leadership over the military, while the military actually holds the power of military decision-making and execution.

His Majesty the Emperor plays the role of a balancer between the military and the cabinet, maintaining national stability by supporting or acquiescing to the actions of the military.

The military and the cabinet are nominally parallel and are only responsible to the emperor.

However, cabinet ministers, such as the Minister of the Army and the Minister of the Navy, must be active military personnel. Therefore, if the military does not cooperate and the Minister of the Army and the Minister of the Navy resign, the cabinet will collapse. Therefore, the cabinet is to a certain extent controlled by the military.

The current situation is that although the emperor legally holds overall ruling power, he does not actually directly participate in political decision-making.

The military has developed rapidly in recent years. They have been gaining the support of His Majesty by promoting the spirit of Bushido and loyalty to the Emperor. His Majesty also needs the support of the grassroots citizens and soldiers, which has formed a compromise.

The authority of His Majesty the Emperor has been challenged by the military, and His Majesty the Emperor can only maintain the unity and stability of the country by supporting the actions of the military.

Jingren spoke slowly, and Zhou Zhengqing could barely make out what he meant. It seemed like the Emperor and the military were not on the same page. Instead, they were in cahoots with each other, taking advantage of each other and compromising with each other.

"What do you mean by saying this? What does it have to do with my marriage to Prince Yukinai?"

Jingren shook his head, signaling Zhou Zhengqing not to interrupt him, and continued: "The military department is the actual decision-making and executive body of the Japanese army, including the Army Ministry, the Navy Ministry, the General Staff Headquarters and other departments.

The military has already gained a lot of real power, and it formulates and implements foreign expansion policies by manipulating the cabinet and the army.

External expansion inevitably requires war! The military needs the support of the emperor to promote the war. Without the support of the emperor, the citizens and soldiers who have undergone long-term brainwashing education will not fully support the military in launching the war.

At the same time, although His Majesty the Emperor also agrees with the pursuit of benefits through war, he is not willing to be forcibly tied to the chariot, and even worries that the military will one day go beyond its control. "

"so what?"

When Jingren finished speaking a long paragraph and paused, Zhou Zhengqing once again expressed that he still didn't quite understand what Jingren was trying to say.

At the same time, he looked at the serious Jingren with suspicion, because in the memory of his original body, Takuto Takazaki, Jingren simply did not have the eloquence to explain so many things.

Zhou Zhengqing felt that he was more like reciting a script.

Jingren rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhengqing, as if to blame him for interrupting him again. After thinking for a while, he continued, "In fact, the struggle between your majesty and the military has been going on for a long time. After Ito Hirobumi was assassinated, Yamagata Aritomo took control of the military power and became a de facto dictator.

From that time on, His Majesty became very dissatisfied with the old warlords of Choshu Domain.

In addition, Aritomo Yamagata obstructed Your Majesty's marriage for his own political stance and interests, which made Your Majesty even more disgusted with those old warlords.

Therefore, His Majesty began to win over and focus on training young military officers who were not from the Choshu clan as his confidants. Among them, the three young Japanese army officers at that time, Nagata Tetsuzan, Obata Toshishiro, and Okamura Yasuji, were the ones who received special care and support from His Majesty.

The three then secretly made friends with young army officers who were not from the Choshu clan system, and formed an organization with six people as the core. The other three were Itakase Seishirō, Tojo Hideki, and Kawamoto Daisaku, and gradually expanded the organization's membership. "
