Age of Conquest Reborn

An urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, revealed the critical situation in which the Kwantung Army was about to be attacked.

The current situation of catastrophe, and a memorial from the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, aroused the thunderous wrath of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito.

After all the intense and verbal exchanges, it was not easy for General Miuchi Yoneuchi. He knew His Majesty the Emperor very well. He had a sharp mind, an unpredictable heart, and extremely superb control methods. In addition, he was naturally smart, but also a little nervous and a little nervous.

Joy and anger

Impermanence, sitting high on the dragon throne, has a clear understanding of the intrigues and struggles for power and profit among the military and political leaders within the empire, but does not stop it, but allows it to develop, but controls it within a certain range. He is a master who is not easy to deceive.

Son!

Today's event was so big that it shook the foundation of the empire. It was so big that even the head of the most powerful person in the empire's military circles, the Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, was not enough to make up for the loss. Koichi Yoneuchi had to double his efforts.

Be careful, so after this performance, I was soaked in cold sweat, my hard work was drained, my intestines were gutted, my spirit was in a state of high tension, and I was about to collapse.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's expression relaxed, and the fierce glare in his eyes subsided, Koichi Mineuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when he asked himself, Koichi Mineuchi did not feel that he was deceiving His Majesty the Emperor, nor did he feel sorry for the Empire of Japan, the source of everything.

, all out

Since Umezu, that bastard, had he not received a time bomb-like memorial, there would have been no follow-up, leaving him unaware of the situation in Manchuria. He would not have suppressed the memorial for nearly a month.

You have to make up a lot of lies to cover up the truth!

Is it easy for me? General Yoneuchi Hikaru hates Umezu Mijiro to the core, so he must go to death. Even if his head is not used to appease His Majesty the Emperor's wrath, he must always keep Umezu Mijiro away from the center of imperial power.

It is best to spend the rest of his life in a military reformatory on a remote, desolate and almost isolated desert island far away from the mainland. This person is too dangerous. I do this to protect myself!

This was also the confidence that Koichi Yoneuchi was able to answer fluently under Emperor Hirohito's aggressive gaze and tone. However, Emperor Hirohito was obviously not an easy man. After calming down, he sat back on the throne and asked seemingly casually:

"Ai Qing Minai, I have something unclear. You are a highly respected veteran. You are also the person I rely on the most. I still need Ai Qing to answer my questions..."

Minai Koichi's whole mind instantly went into a state of high tension and alert, his ears were twitching, and his mind was working rapidly. For His Majesty the Emperor, who doesn't play cards according to common sense and has cunning and weird thinking, he must gather all his energy. Because you don't know

, What is His Majesty the Emperor’s next question?

"Your Majesty, it is your duty to share the Lord's worries!" Koichi Mineuchi said respectfully, not saying too much but just right. He was neither impatient nor impetuous, nor did he look like he was being outraged because His Majesty the Emperor was not ashamed to ask. This is Koichi Mineuchi.

His brilliance was also what Emperor Hirohito admired most.

Emperor Hirohito looked outside the palace, into the dark night, and his voice seemed to float from the darkness, "My dear Yonai, I don't understand. As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro has the right to write memorials, but why?

Instead of submitting this memorial directly to me, you have to forfeit it in your hands? Isn’t it unnecessary and only adding to the misfortune?”

This is what Emperor Hirohito couldn't understand. Before the Manchuria War situation became too corrupt and unmanageable, when he saw this memorial, Umezu Yoshijiro must have resigned from his post and was relegated to another book. But as the Manchurian War situation became worse,

Step by step, according to his prophecy, he will come true. He will definitely know that he has wronged a talented general of the empire, and what is waiting for Umezu Yoshijiro will definitely be reinstated and take up a higher-level position. Is it not impossible?

Also, the base camp has not received reports on the war situation in Manchuria. This is true. The base camp does not cover the sky with one hand, and I also have loyal eyes and ears in it. Otherwise, how could I safely hand over the military power that determines the foundation of the empire to Koichi Yonei, my eyes and ears?

He secretly reported everything that happened in the base camp every day, and Minai Koichi did not lie.

This adds to the mystery. As the war situation in Manchuria gradually reached a point where it was unfavorable to the Kwantung Army, and there was no response to the memorial, it stands to reason that Umezu Yoshijiro should have sent a telegram to the base camp to report the situation of the war situation in Manchuria, or simply

He has the power to report directly to himself, but Umezu Yoshijiro neither reports to the base camp nor directly reports to himself. Isn't it uncharacteristic of him?

It seems, it seems that all of this is related to this minister who is respectful and frightened in front of him. Umezu Yoshijiro, the fool who made Manchuria a mess, is now missing and his whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, he will be immediately escorted to Tokyo and I will question him personally.

, many mysteries will be solved. Emperor Hirohito must ask this question, otherwise, he will be heartbroken. At the same time, it will be a test of the loyalty of Yonei Koichi!

Emperor Hirohito's question seems peaceful and casual, but the trap in it is unknown how deep it is. If you answer it directly, as the Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of the base camp, Umezu Yoshijiro will naturally not be able to avoid it.

If it's bad, wouldn't it mean that he is in a higher position and more powerful than His Majesty the Emperor? The generals who are leading the troops outside only have eyes for Koichi Minai and not His Majesty the Emperor?

To put it lightly, it threatens the throne of His Majesty the Emperor. To put it more seriously, it is suspected of seeking power and usurping the throne? Therefore, answering like this is asking for death, you are an idiot!

But if you answer as you guessed, in order to increase the weight of this memorial, it would not be appropriate to involve yourself, the first person in the military who single-handedly controls the two major systems of the empire's military administration and military orders, to ensure that His Majesty the Emperor can accept this memorial.

, in this case, there is a suspicion of taking power and self-respect, and coming forward on his own, His Majesty the Emperor will have to make some kind of compromise, and maybe he will adopt some of the suggestions in the memorial, but what happens next?

Isn't this asking for trouble and violating a taboo? It has some meaning of forcing the palace. His Majesty the Emperor is a master of turning clouds and storms, plus he is ruthless. As Minister of Army and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, he walked into the palace today with such a distinguished status.

Maybe, when he walked out the next moment, he was escorted into a prison car by the military police?

Both direct answers and answers with your own guesses are inappropriate and will not do you any good. Fortunately, before deciding to submit Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial to His Majesty the Emperor, Mineuchi Koichi had already thought of his own countermeasures.

There was a look of extreme shame and pain on his face, and his voice became even hoarse as he said: "Your Majesty, I am scared, please forgive me for being stupid and incompetent. This is exactly what I am puzzled about so far!"

Excellent! Koichi Yoneuchi's answer is really wonderful and watertight. Who knew that bastard Yoshijiro Umezu had the wrong nerve and inexplicably sent the memorial messenger to me? Instead of using the power of direct communication? Since

His Majesty the Emperor, who is a demigod, cannot figure out the thoughts of Yoshijiro Umezu, who is now missing. As a minister, I, Hikaru Minai, naturally cannot figure it out either!

Obviously, the performance of Koichi Yoneuchi satisfied Emperor Hirohito, and all the speculations in his heart disappeared. A smile appeared on his pale face, but then his expression darkened and he said painfully: "My dear Yoneuchi, my biggest pain now is,

There is no good strategy to save the war situation in Manchuria. If it is true as the memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro said, the appetite of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is not only Manchuria, but also the Korean Peninsula and the Far East!"

"In this way, wouldn't the empire's more than two million soldiers on the battlefields in the Far East and the Korean Peninsula be in danger, and the Kwantung Army on the battlefield in Manchuria, wouldn't it be a situation where the entire army would be annihilated? It's terrible, my dear Minai, what do you have?

Any countermeasures?"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor no longer bothered about the memorial, Yoneuchi Koichi's heart was completely settled in his stomach. He finally passed this test and had no danger. He solved the problems for His Majesty the Emperor and worked hard for the hegemony of the Japanese Empire. It was his own responsibility.

Duty and sum

Responsibility, Miuchi Minai naturally had already thought of countermeasures. He bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, the only way is to convene the military and political leaders from the base camp, the cabinet and related departments, enter the palace immediately, hold a royal meeting, and make arrangements.

Make a decision!"

"It is related to the foundation of the empire, and the war situation in Manchuria has deteriorated. The situation is extremely dangerous and there is no need to delay. I believe that all ministers will express their opinions directly and offer suggestions!"

"Okay! Let's do it according to the advice of His Majesty Yonai!" Emperor Hirohito exclaimed, admiring Koichi Yonai's calmness and attitude. Indeed, it is related to the foundation of the Empire of Japan and the life and death of millions of imperial soldiers. Yonai

Instead of doing everything by himself and making decisions on his own, Guangyi proposed to convene an imperial meeting to brainstorm ideas. This is what a mature man would do to plan a country!

"Your Majesty, I will obey the order and inform the other ministers immediately!" Mi Neguang bowed deeply and was about to leave. Being with His Majesty, he was really depressed. He took the opportunity to go outside to breathe and change again.

Clothes soaked with sweat, too

It is a happy event. This imperial meeting will definitely be a marathon. It may not end for several days and nights. The problems faced are too difficult to solve. Minai Koichi is already prepared for a protracted war. He is dressed in sweat.

What's going on with smelly clothes?

"My dear Yonai, wait a minute. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, is missing, and the chief of general staff, Matsuda Kenjiro, is too late to attend the imperial meeting. I have thought about it and asked the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, to attend the imperial meeting.

, After all, he knows the situation in Manchuria better than I and you do!" Emperor Hirohito suddenly called to Yoneuchi Koichi and gave instructions.
