Age of Conquest Reborn

"Nanjiro!" Mineuchi was stunned. A figure appeared in his mind. He had gray hair, a short stature, and always had an unpredictable smile on his face. He was neither aggressive nor submissive. He seemed He is very honest and honest, but if anyone is deceived by his honest appearance, he will be in serious trouble.

Miuchi Minai doesn't have a good impression of Nanjiro. Of course, he doesn't have any ill intentions. The two belong to different factions, but they have never had a direct conflict. Even in his faction, Nanjiro is not. He is known as a moderate, so he is quite popular in both the military and political circles of the empire and has a good reputation!

But Nanjiro's qualifications are something that no one dares to ignore. He is one of the few remaining veterans of the imperial military. In terms of qualifications, he is almost as good as himself, but his power is far behind. Since he became the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, After becoming the Commander and the Empire's Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Manchuria, the Kwantung Army, although it still bore traces of its own faction in name, was out of control and did not go too far!

In this regard, Koichi Mineuchi also admired Nanjiro's political methods. In terms of military, this person was unanimously evaluated by the imperial military circles as "mediocre in talent and unfit to serve as the supreme commander of an independent combat direction in the empire!" But it was this military commanding talent. The mediocre Nanjiro, during the few years he ruled Manchuria, gave all the commanders-in-chief of the Kwantung Army headaches, and the helpless Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance was beaten to death and almost disappeared!

Then, he escaped from the already crisis-ridden Manchuria with dignity, returned to his country with great honor, and assumed the important position of Deputy Military Affairs Officer of the base camp, and the methods used by Nanjiro to solve the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance in Manchuria. "Three points military, seven points politics!" General Yonei is also quite fond of it. In order to appreciate the methods and experience that Nanjiro used in Manchuria, had the imperial army not suffered a tragic defeat in North China and been driven out of North China by Tang Qiuli's troops, General Yoneuchi Koichi was prepared to fully promote it in the occupied areas in the name of the base camp!

"I only have a casual acquaintance with Nanjiro. It's not nice to say hello in advance. Maybe he will see the flaw. This guy has been in Manchuria for many years. He knows the situation in Manchuria quite well. However, in terms of Nanjiro's political IQ, It won’t cause any problems!” General Yoneuchi Koichi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and concluded that Nanjiro’s participation in the imperial meeting would not be harmful to him. Moreover, he was the person named by His Majesty the Emperor, and by excluding him, he was looking for trouble. !

"It's your Majesty, I will do as you are told immediately. Nanci-kun has been in Manchuria for many years and has a lot of experience and experience. When the two chief officers of the Kwantung Army are unable to be present, Nanci-kun is indeed the best person to understand the situation in Manchuria. Your Majesty is wise. !" General Minai Koichi said respectfully, and at the end, he didn't forget to flatter him!

Urgent calls were made one after another from the palace, waking up the Japanese military and political officials living in various places in Tokyo. All the generals above the deputy minister in the base camp got up from the hot quilts and women's bodies, muttering, He stood up reluctantly.

After receiving a call from the Privy Council of the Imperial Palace at the residence of General Minamijiro, the deputy military affairs officer at the base camp, he immediately rushed to the palace of His Majesty the Emperor. After attending the notice of the imperial meeting, he had already vented his energy on the plump and voluptuous maid and was about to hug the fragrant and smooth body. General Nanjiro couldn't help frowning after having a good sleep with his tired maid's body. The maid was busy waiting for him to put on his military uniform.

Seeing the displeasure on His Excellency the General's face, the young maid was so frightened that she did not dare to express her anger. However, the maid knew that at this moment, General Nanjiro's mind had changed countless times. Among all the ministers in Japan, except

Apart from General Yoneuchi Koichi, only General Nanjiro in the palace could definitely guess the reason why His Majesty the Emperor started the imperial meeting in such a hurry at such a late hour.

"Manchuria! It must be related to the situation in Manchuria! Moreover, the situation in Manchuria should have deteriorated to the point of being beyond control! His Majesty the Emperor wants to find a countermeasure!" General Nanjiro's brows were almost twisted into a knot, even though he had resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

Although he has an official position, he has been operating in Manchuria for many years, and still has a few confidants in important positions. Telegrams often come in from the outside. He has no information about everything that happened in Manchuria, so he came to this judgment.

From the bottom of my heart, General Nanjiro, who resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and returned to his homeland to take up an important position, did not want to participate in any meetings related to Manchuria. It was not a taboo, but he did not want to touch anything about Manchuria. That meant that

I have worked hard and worked hard on my past, even the past that I cannot bear to look back on!

In Northeast China, General Nanjiro, who had controlled the Kwantung Army and Manchukuo for many years, knew very well what the situation in Manchuria was like when he left Manchuria. It was like a river melting in spring, covered with a thin layer of ice.

It is a rapid torrent that can flow at any time

There would be turbulent waves. He was lucky that when he left Manchuria, this thin layer of ice had not collapsed. He was even more lucky that in the last year of Manchuria, the Chinese devil Tang Qiu was not changed by the imperial general.

Li was tortured to death, so he escaped with his whole body, right?

As for his successor, Umezu Yoshijiro, he can only be regarded as an unlucky guy. He took over a business that was about to collapse. Moreover, during the handover at the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Fengtian, Manchuria, the contempt Umezu had for him was clearly visible on his face.

, To be fair, Nanjiro was not optimistic about Umezu Yoshijiro. Neither his character nor background were enough to reverse the deterioration of the situation in Manchuria. As for military talent, it seemed unimportant in Manchuria at that time!

"The situation in Manchuria has deteriorated to the point where it is beyond control. Then, the main purpose of this imperial meeting is two-fold. One is to find countermeasures, and the other is to hold those responsible accountable. It is hard for Umezu Yoshijiro to take the blame, and he may not be able to protect himself.

!Own position and attitude

, It should be like this..." While putting on the military uniform, General Nanjiro carefully weighed the various interests and interests in his mind, and then he made a plan, and his frown relaxed.

, taking only one adjutant with him, he rushed to the palace by car.

More than an hour later, more than a hundred of Japan's heavyweights in the military and political circles, still sleepy and confused, gathered in the palace of Emperor Hirohito. Shining ministers and generals, dressed in suits and leather shoes, gathered in the palace.

Sit down in your seat.

General Nanjiro arrived not too late, but not too early. When he walked to his seat, he happened to bump into General Koichi Mineuchi. Their eyes quickly exchanged, and then they immediately avoided each other. Both of them were

A man who has risen through the ranks of the officialdom, a shrewd politician, and has read countless people. However, just by meeting their eyes for a moment, they all saw something in each other's heart, but they were unwilling to delve into it deeply!

General Minai Koichi said with a smile: "Nanji-kun, you are the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. You have been operating in Manchuria for many years and you can be called a 'Manchuria expert!' Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the generals and asked Nanji-kun to participate.

In this imperial meeting, Nanci-kun, your majesty has high hopes for you, and you must offer your suggestions! However, your majesty is very dissatisfied with the situation in Manchuria. I am afraid that in the face of your majesty’s questions, Nanci-kun will have to bear more!"

Nanjiro bowed slightly and replied calmly: "Your Majesty fell in love with someone by mistake. Nanjiro has been away from Manchuria for some time. The recent changes in the situation in Manchuria are like a fog. I'm afraid I don't have any useful suggestions."

, but I was disappointed by Mr. Minai. I naturally answered all your Majesty’s questions, but it was limited to everything that happened during my stay in Manchuria. By the way, there has been no report on the latest situation in Manchuria from the base camp!"

The muscles on Minai Guang's cheeks twitched involuntarily. He gritted his teeth secretly and cursed: "What a slippery old loach. He seems to be sincere but has no boundaries!" That last sentence is even more powerful. You

Minai Guangyi has overwhelming power and controls it with one hand

The two major systems of imperial military administration and military orders, even you don’t know how bad Umezu Yoshijiro has done to Manchuria. Don’t expect me to play a supporting role for you, let alone rush in front and attract the firepower of His Majesty the Emperor.

Well, don’t treat me like a noob!

Invulnerable to splashing water, he was invulnerable. There was nothing that Koichi Mineuchi could do against Nanjiro. When it came to politicians' methods, this old guy was no worse than him. He couldn't say more to avoid exposing his flaws. So, General Koichi Mineuchi said with a faint smile.

: "Since Nanci-kun knows what he is thinking, I am worrying in vain! Please do as you please!"

After saying that, both of them bowed slightly and nodded, then passed by each other, ending an exchange that was far from pleasant. They saw that all the civil and military officials attending the imperial meeting had arrived, and Hirohito changed into a military uniform.

emperor,

Also sitting high on the dragon throne, Minaiguang walked to the front desk, cleared his throat, and said: "Gentlemen, I summoned you to your Majesty's palace for a meeting late at night to discuss issues related to the war situation in Manchuria. Now, please invite His Majesty the Emperor.

Instructions!"

After saying that, Miuchi Minai bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, ignored the surprised and nervous expressions of all the civil and military ministers in the room, and returned to his seat to sit down.

Emperor Hirohito's sinister gaze glanced at the civil and military ministers below for a long time. It was not until the ministers' hearts became tense that he slowly said: "Dear ladies, I received a telegram today.

memorial

, the telegram was sent by the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Matsuda Kenjiro, and the content was about the current war situation in Manchuria. The memorial was forwarded to me by the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, through the hands of Yonei Aiki three days ago!"

The Japanese civil and military officials below couldn't help but be stunned, what are they doing? How could the number one and two figures of the Kwantung Army send telegrams and submit memorials respectively? According to convention, the memorial about the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, is enough.

Yes, the telegram from Chief of General Staff Kenjiro Matsuda is redundant. Could it be that internal strife broke out at the top of the Kwantung Army, and the Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff were at each other's throats?
